Receiving an affirmative reply he then asked if he had heard that the bear had broke loose, and nearly killed a man in the hotel office. Mr. Hess had heard of it. "Well," said the stranger, "I am the man. The terrible injuries I received consisted of a scratch on my thumb. The bear was scared more than anybody else. The newspapers made a large story out of a very small affair." - - - The funeral of the late Dr. J. B. McKelvy was very largely attended last Thursday afternoon. Services were conducted at the house by Rev. D. N. Kirkby, and after the committal service at the grave, the impressive ritual of the Masonic Fraternity was read by Rev. W. II. Butts, of Williamsport, and Rev. J. D. Smith of Bloomsburg. A num ber of floral designs, sent by friends as a last tribute of respect to the deceased physician, surrounded the casket. The pall bearers were : John R. Townsend, Dr. E. W. M. Low, W. .O. Holmes, W. E. Rinker, J. H. Maize, Judge J. U. Kurtz. The Pittston Gazette says that legal bulldozing must cease. An editorial in that paper reads: "Pro tests are accumulating against the unlimited license taken by bluster ing attorneys in their examination of winesses iu court. The complaint is of long standing, aird nothing could be more justifiable. If ci i zens are not protected in their rights under the eyes of the judiciary it self, pray where shall they look for relief? We have had occasion here tofore to rebuke this unseemly and uncalled for tendency in lawyers in the local courts, and other county newspapers have also condemned the foolish practice iu the strongest terms as tending to embittt r persons called as witnesses against their wishes and to defeat the ends of justice. Yet it continues unchecked, scarcely a single witness escaping, to some degree, the racking torture of personal abuse and ridicule at the hands of overzealous members of the bar whose legal tact seems sadly lacking."

The old bond had seven sureties on it, among them being County Com missioner William Krickbaum and Duputy Treasurer C. A. Kleim.

The Normal School Orchestra went to Danville on Tuesday and gave a concert in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. The JVerc of yesterday reports it as follows : The concert given !?st evening in the Y. M. C. A. Hall by the Blooms burg Normal School Orchestra was attended by a large and enthusiastic audience. The program was arranged with great care, the numbers being selected to suit all tastes. The well known overture "Ray. mond"' by Ambroise Thomas was played for the opening, and, consider ing the small orchestration, was well played, eliciting much applause. Mr. Breon demonstrated his ability as a violin soloist in the plaving of Wieni awski's difficult "Kinawiak Mazourka." He possesses much technique and plays with finish and expression. The flute and clarinet duet by Messrs. Miller and Foulke was a most pleas ing number and was loudly applauded. Mr. Foulke is a son of B. F. Foulke of this city. Signorina Comba, the Soprano, sang two selections.
