"How was business today," asked one fakir of another, coming up from the fair ground Saturday evening. "On the hog," said the other fellow. "The old Rubes, why you couldn't sell them a d thing."

By the accidental discharge of a gun in the hands of John Coyle, Peter McDonald was instantly kill ed at Ashland on Saturday. They had been friends since childhood.

Great excitement has been created in the vicinity of Williamsport over the reported discovery of gold. Thomas J. Davidson, a business man residing at a small town above Williamsport, recently picked what he believed to be gold quartz. He sent it to a Denver testing company and Saturday received from the company a certificate of assay, which states that the piece of quartz contains 161 ounces of gold to the ton. Mr. David son has leased several hundred acres of land in the vicinity of the place where the discovery was made. The question of whether Con stables are entitled to receive pay for services at the polls was brought before the Commissioners of North ampton County, and they were in structed as follows: The law giving Constables fees for attending polls 011 election days was passed in June, 1895. All Constables, therefore, who were elected or appointed prior to that time are not entitled to re ceive any pay, as it is contrary to the Constitution of the State to in crease the emoluments of an office during the term of an incumbent. Those Constables who were ap pointed or elected since the passing of the act will be entitled to receive pay for sendees on election day at the polls. THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. E. J.

A wind storm of a cyclonic nature swept over this town Tuesday night, and a repetition of the destructive storm that visited this section about two years ago, was feared by many people. It passed off, however, without doing any damage, but it caused some of our residents to stay up till a late hour. An exchange says: "Col. Will iam Stone, the Quay machine candi date, spoke to a few Republicans at the Sunbury court house Monday afternoon. Several other apostles of the lost cause also made lengthy and very tiresome addresses. The applause from the small audience was feeble and infrequent." We are informed that chickens have to roost high in Pine township if they escape the band of thieves, who are making nightly raids on the hen coops of that locality.

An effort is on foot among the farmers to form an organization to catch the sneak thieves. The two shows known as Dia mond Dew's amusement Palace, and the Egyptian Dancing Girls, secured the right of the association to exhibit on the fair ground last week, on the promise of giving a performance that ladies and chil dren could attend.

The Mauch Chunk Gazette says of Judge Herring, who presided at Court in Carbon County last week: "Judge Herring, of the Montour Columbia district, who is presiding specially during this term of court because of Judge Craig's illness, favors the late lamented Eckley B. Coxe, of Drifton. He has the same strong, striking cast of features, and when he smil&s this likeness seems to grow greater. Mr. Coxe also had an abundant crop of hair like the distinguished judge." A team belonging to J. E. Lon genberger of Maiuville, which he left standing at the corner of Main and Market Street while he trans aded some business at the First National Bank, became frightened at a band of music which was on its way down to the fair ground on Saturday, and turning around very abruptly upset the wagon to which they were hitched, throwing the occupants, Mrs- Longenberger, a daughter and two small children out into the road. All escaped seri ous injury but one of the children, who sustained several severe cuts on the head. The State Convention of County Commissioners is being held at Clearfield this week.

Corser exhibited his patent folding sewing table at the fair, also his patent folding seat for sewing machines. Both of these are very useful inventions. The table is light, well made, and quickly folded when not in use, by a devise which enables it to be done, without the operator stooping over. The sewing machine seat is adjusted to the frame of the machine and when not in use is fold ed up out of the way under the ma chine. They can be seen at the store room on Main Street, formerly occupied by Corser as a shoe store. Stung in the Throat- Charles Matz, of Tyrone, was the victim of a peculiar accident one day last week. He was visiting at Dry Hollow arid was drinking sweet cider out of a barrel through a small gum hose, when a yellow jacket. was sucked up through the hose into Mr. Matz's throat. The bee stung him three times in the throat and breast, and the stings swelled up until Mr. Matz nearly choked. By the use of a tube the throat was kept from en tirely closing up and the victim pulled through, but he will not drink cider out of a barrel hereafter.
