A Pleasant Surprise.
Silas Riddle was entirely surprised
at his home on Center Street last
Thursday evening by the advent of a
company of his young friends, who
had come to celebrate his sixteenth
birthday anniversary. The party
gathered at the home of Miss Mary
Rawlings at eight o'clock and went
direct to the Riddle residence. So
complete was the surprise that Silas,
for a while, was lost in wonder. With
a smile he took in the situation and
with his accustomed droll manner
made everybody welcome. Never has
therebeen a gathering of young folks
with such a unity of purpose to enjoy
the occasion to the fullest extent.
Repartee, wit and humor added to
the evening's pleasure. Robert Glenn
entertained the assemblage with some
instrumental music. Nice re
freshments were served. Not
only the party, but two beautiful
presents will tend lo keep the
sixteenth anniversary a bright day
in Silas Riddle's memory. Those
present were: Clare Gross, May
Howard, Bess Eachman, Mary Rawl
ings, Jennie Hartman, Nellie Warner,
Nellie Williams, Blanche Williams,
Helen Peacock, Georgia White, Mar
Creasy, Blanche TIartman, William
Peacock, Max Dillon, Reginald Hem
ingway, George McLinn, Lewis

Bt Columba'i fair and Festival.
The fair and festival conducted by
the ladies of St. Columba's Catholic
church in the Tabernacle on Market
street last week, pioved to be a sue
cess. T he weather on one or two
evenings was somewhat inclement,
which as might be expected, kept
many people away, who otherwise
would have attended. But notwith
standing this unfortunate circumstance
the ladies feel that they have no rcas
on to complain, and they are very
thankful for the liberal patronage ex
tended and for the interest manifest
ed. The chancing contests proved a
popular feature The gold watch was
won by Henry Casey of Iton street!
the range by Daniel Linch of Third
street, while Miss Ella McFadden of
East street, secured the diamond ring.
There are two sets of furniture, which
are yet to be disposed of. The
whole amount realized from the sale
of chance was so insignificent com
pared to the cost of the furniture that
they will be held over until the holi
days. The clock contest between
Hotel Ent and the Exchange Hotel
was decided in favor of the former.
Music was furnished evenings by the
Junior Orchestra and the Bloomsburg
Band. Saturday evening Miss Natalie
Foulke rendered several beautiful
vocal selections. She was in good
voice and her singing was well re
ceived. Bi Henry's New, Big Oity Minstrels-
Reference :s made to Hi Henry's
big city minstrel attraction of fifty
performers, who will appear at the
Opera House next Tuesday night.
This organization seems to be stirring
up the amusement lovers all through
their travels, and reports are coming
ahead of their wonderful success and
great show. An exchange says : "The
first part showed a nice stage setting,
the scene being a Mexican palace.
The instrumental part was excellently
rendered and the chcrus and singing
the best ever heard here in minstrel
shows in years. Some very effective
vocal solos, the elimination of bones
and tamboes and the methods of in
troducing the end men were notable
innovations in this part. The work
of the orchestra and band was effect
ive throught the evening. Of the
olio too much cannot be said in the
way of praise. The whistler was ex
cellent, the clay modeller fine, and
the vocal sketch artists, Mitchell and
Marion, and the Couture Bros., acro
bats, the best seen at the Grand in
years. Hi Henry, judging by the gen
eral opinion, has the best minstrel at
traction seen in this city in many
years.'
Annual Reunion of 0. 0- V- Association.
The Fifth Annual Reunion of the
Columbia County Veteran Associa
tion at Benton on Saturday, Septem
ber 2Qth, will be the largest meeting
yet held. The citizens of Benton are
making preparations to give all who
attend a grand time. On account of
the large number going, the dusty
roads, and low rates, Ent Post No.
250, G. A. R., will be conveyed to
that up-creek town in the cars instead
of hacks, as had been partly arranged.
They will leave on the regular 8:47
a. m. B. & S. train. Fare for round
trip, 60 cents. Quite a number from
Berwick, Catawissa and other places
are going. A special invitation is ex
tended to all friends of Ent Post,
whether soldiers or not, to accompany
them. A special meeting will be held
at the hall on Wednesday evening to
perfect arrangements.
Committee.
A Correction.
It was stated last week in this pa
per that Ex-Judge Krickbaum and
John G. McHenry had purchased the
Bnton Argus from the heirs of the
late William H. Smith, and would
conduct that journal. We saw the
statement in two papers one outside
the county and one in and heard of
it in another a Williamsport paper
and took it for granted that it was
true. Mr. McHenry informs us that
it is not true, and we cheerfully make
the correction.
Benton is naturally and properly
anxious to continue the publication
of a newspaper in that prosperous
town, and if an individual purchaser
cannot be found, it is likely that a
stock company will be formed. It is
a good plant, and ought to be kept
alive.
Apprentice Wanted.
A boy is wanted to learn the print
ing trade in this office. He must be
at least 16 years of age, of good
character, good reader and speller.

it U understood, in eonxiileiing the mut
ter, It wn also lentned that the sherilT'x
reipiest was, l.aekeil up l.y several tele
grams from private citizens of JIaz'oton
who, it is Ni.iil, uie mine operators.
It Is helievvil that the sheriff is of the
opinion that the presence of troops will
prevent any further marching, thus less
ening the possihility of serious trouble.
Monday night's march of itOU men from
Cranberry, Tonihickcu, Iierringer nnd
limvoii probably hastened the action of
Sheriff Harvey in asking for state help.
The strikers met after midnight at
Cranberry, nnd when they rvaeJieil Tom
hk'ken they were stopped l.y Sheriff Har
vey and 'M armed deputies, who went to
that place on u special train. It was yet
dark, and the vheriff read tl'ie riot act tf
them by the light of n lantern. The
strikers then scattered in different direc
tions nnd began niipsionnry work in pre
venting mine workers from going to the
Putu mines at Tomhickeii, (Jerringer
and (lowen. They were successful in
preventing a large number of men from
going to work, and in consequence the
l)erringer and (Jowen mines were crip
pled. The Tomhickcn slope was only
slightly affected, l-'onr of the marcheiK
were arrested charged with breach of the
peace and in the afternoon were taken
to South Wilkesbarre and committed
without bail. There was no conflict be
tween the deputies and the strikers.
The most important development here
yesterday, outside of the rcpiest for sol
diers, was the unswer of . t. Marklc &
Co. to the demands presented by tho
firm's employees ten days ago. The an
ewer is not considered satisfactory by
many of the Marklc employees, and what
action they will take at their meeting to
day is not certain. There is much talk
among them iu favor of a strike. The
firm flatly refuses to grant the demand
of the men for a .r aud 10 per cent ad-ranee,-announces
Its willingness to pay
the men siniimonthly, agrees to arbitrate
the question of cheaper powder, rcfuc
the demands of the driver boys tin.! en
gineers for more pay, promises to adjust
grievances relating to the carrying of
men and tools down through the slope In
mine cars, offers the tinil.ertnen n new
scale for propping which is lower than
the rate asked for, agrees to build pow
der houses so that the men will not Imve
to enrry the explosive a great distance
and concedes the pillar robbing grlev
aneo. The MurUle firm announced that at the
"request of the mine workers iu Its em
ploy work will be suspended today iu or
der to give the men an opportunity to
consider the company's answer to their
demands made ten days ago."

Stone will be in no hurry to send more
troops into the strike region, lie believes
the troops now in the field can quell any
disturbance which may occur. The gov
ernor received telegrams last night from
a number of private citizens of the Ila
zlelon region asking that troops be sent
(here. Sheriff Harvey also advised the
eNccutive that trouble is brewing ami
that troops are needed. The governor is
giving serious consideration to the re
quest, and unless they are backed up by
additional uppeals no troops will-be call
ed oQI. Should trouble occur iu the Ha
sdeton region one of the regiments attach
