i'UBLIO SCHOOL N0TE9.
Names ol Pupils Wh9 Attended School Every
Day Last Term.
There are many indications of a
growing interest in out public schools,
but none show the appreciation of the
patrons and pupils more than the
gradual increase of our annual roll of
honor. In June 1895, when Prof.
Sterner first reported this roll to the
board, there were but 35 in it. In
1896; there were 60; in 1897, 90; in
1898, 116; and in 1899, 131. It has
been the custom to- publish these
names at the close of the school year,
but tor reasons unnecessary to state
their pub'ication was withheld until
the present. It is hoped that through
the comb'ned efforts of the pupils,
patrons and teachers that the roll of
honor for the coming year will be
much larger than that of 'ast year.
Let us see how many of those whose
names were on it last year will be on
it this, and how many not on it last
term will be there this. The follow
ing are the names of those who at
tended every day last term:

Comment on the Game-
The Millersburg Herald ard Stm
Unci have the following to say about
the base ball game played on the Sun
bury ground on Saturday, August 19 :
" The game of base ball at Sunbury
on Saturday between Millersbu g and
Bloomsburg nines was a very poor ex
hibition of the sport. Indeed, it was
tiresome to look at, and wound up at
the end of the fifth inning in favor of
our boys by a score of 20 to 5. Our
team expected to find players as their
opponents, but instead Bloomsburg
put up nine fellows who had set out
on a good time, and who acted as
though they had never seen a base
Dall btfore."
"The aggregation of base ballists
that came down from Bloomsburg on
Saturday morning to mop up the Sun.
bury diamond with the "country club"
from Millersburg, went home a badly
demoralized set and very much re
lieved ot their pompous conceit. That
and their utter knowledge of what
constitutes a fair game, was about
what their stock in trade consisted of.
Spectators who paid the price oi ad
mission to see a good game, were dis
appointed beyond measure at the one
sided contest, and thoroughly disgusted
with the treatment of the Bloomsburg
boys and their idea of ball playing.
The county seat of Columbia county
is noted for the intelligence and re
finement of its people, but its ball
players seem to be an exception, who
reflect discredit upon the good name
and reputation of the town when they
get away from home. On the fourth
inning Bloom went to pieces, and the
reserve pitcher was powerless to resus
citate them. After the fifth inning
they were satisfied to quit on the pre
tense of making their train. The score
was 20 to 5 in favor of Millersburg."
The first comes very near being the
truth except in the matter of runs,
but the latter is a gross misstatement
of tacts, and the writer who ever he
was, has been badly misinformed or
else has no regard for the truth. In
the first place our boys made no
boasts of wiping up the Sunbury
diamond with the "country club," as
the writer calls the down river team,
and we don't believe the name can be
improved on.because they displayed all
the characteristics of a lot ot "rubes,"
but it could have been done very easily
had our club been so disposed, and
secondly, there wasn't a word uttered,
or an act committed that could in any
way reflect on the intelligence or re
finement of our people. If the writer
was present at the game, he must
have viewed it with a pair of glasses
and badly smoked ones at that. At
the conclusion ot the game the score
stood Millersburg 16, Bloomsburg 8,
instead ot 20 to 5.
If the followers of the sport in Mill
ersburg really believe their aggregation
can defeat Bloomsburg, and are will
ing tT back their belief with enough
of the long green to make it interest
ing, we will soon prove to them how
little they know about the game,and it
will not be necessary to make a single
change in the line up of our team to
accomplish it.

THE CLOTHIER,
BLOOflSBURG, PA.
The residents of our town were
aroused from their slumbers by the
fire alarm about two o'clock Friday
morning. It was with considerable
difficulty that the conflagation was
located owing to an imperfect sound
ing of the alarm, caused by the lever
in the box from which the alarm was
sent in not being pulled entirely down .
After the loss of several minutes, dur
ing which time the greatest excite
ment prevailed, the fire was discover
ed to be in the large brick dwelling
owned and occupied by Charles Krug,
on East Third street. The Friend
ship Fire Company was the hrst on
the scene, and soon had a stream
playing on the burning structure.
Then came the Winonas, Rescues,
and Good Wills. The first two made
attachments, which in the opinion of
Chief W. H. Gilmore was sufficient,
and the assistance of the latter com
pany was not required. The blaze, it
is supposed started in the kitchen and
burned rapidly.
The back part of the first story,
several rooms on the second story
and the garret were badly burned.
Water also did considerable damage
to other parts of the house. The fam
ily, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Krug
and several children, were all asleep
.... . .in
in the nouse at tne time. wnen
aroused they tried to leave the house
by way of the stairs but were driven
back by the smoke. They finally
made their escape by climbing out of
a second story window and decending
to, the ground on a ladder. The loss
is partially covered by insurance.

An opinion was handed down yes

in the ejectment suit of C. B. Sutton
vs. W. H. Shepherd. The exceptions
to the referee's report were overruled

Locust Dale was the scene of a
shooting affray Tuesday night which
resulted in the serious and perhaps
fatal shooting of John Metzinger by
Georee Sney. The two men owing
to family fends have not been on good
terms for some time. 1 uesday eve
ning both men met m a saloon and a
war of words ensued, ana hnaiiy tney
came to blows. During the scuffle
Snev drew his revolver and fired, the
ball lodging in Metzingers lett breast,
Snev left immediately and went to
Ashland hat ess and informed some 01
his acquaintances what he had done.
Thev advised him to go to Centralia
and give himself up to the authorities,
He took their advice and went to
Centralia yesterday morning. Sney
claims that he did the shootiug in
self-defence as Metzinger had twice
struck him and began choking him
when he fired. N At first it wtvs thought
that Metzinger s wound would prove
fatal, but at present he is resting, and
strong hopes are entertained lor his
recovery. Both men are married and
well known.
