V0L.n3G. BLOOMSliURG, PA. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1901. NO. 50 . DEATH OF FRANK S. TURNER- It is with deep regret that we an nounce the death of Frank N. Turner, who passed away at his residence on East Fifth Street, this town, between the hours ot one and two o'clock, Sunday afternoon, in the fiftieth year of his age. His illness was of short duration. In the latter part of Nov mber he complained of feeling un well, and his general appearance gave evidence that he was suffering trom some disorder, but neither he nor his triends looked upon his condition as serious. He grew gradually weaker, however, until Friday when a special ist was summoned from Wilkesbarre Sunday morning the patient appeared consideraoly brighter, and the phy sicians had some hopes ot saving his life. At noon, he took a sudden turn for the worse and in less than two hours, he passed to his rest. Mr. Turner was born in Port Car bon, Schuylkill County, Pa., in 1852 In 1894, he with his family, consisting of a wife, formerly Miss Ada II. kshleman, and three children, two sons and one daughter came to Bloomsburg. Two years later he erected a house on East Fifth Street, but the family was scarcely nicely settled in the new home, when there was a visitation of death, and Mrs, Turner was called away. Mr. Turner has held many posi lions of trust. He was book keeper for the Bloomsburg Manufacturing Company, and he was engaged in a like manner for the First National Bank and the Bloomsburg Car Com pany. For the past year he has been identified wih the Bloomsburg Plating Works. Mr. Turner was a man of many rare and admirable attributes, and nis nte was cnaractenzea by good deeds and fidelity to every duty. His life was a good exemplification ot what a christian man should be, and he passes to his reward with the res . it 11 i - peer 01 an wno Knew mm. He was superintendent of the Presbyterian Sunday School, and was deeply inter- esieu ana iook a prominenc part in the work of the Y. M. C. A.

Lx cellent music was furnished by Mrs, Sutliff, Mr. Lambert McHenry and Mr. Daily. Nearly one hundred per sons were present. The purpose was to give the trustees and faculty an opportunity to become better acquaint ed, and the idea conceived by Dr and Mrs. Welsh was an excellent one. and the entertainment, thanks to the host and hostess, was a grand success and thoroughly enjoyed by all present, , Rer.

I Th Berwick noroucrh Council held ' a special meeting Friday night and by I a unaminous vote passed the amended ' ordinance, granting the right of way through the streets of that town to the Columbia and Montour Electric Railway Company. The first, 01 original ordinance, called for the girder rail. Shortly afterward, the contractors, Scanlon & Company, were offered a second hand girder rail, but upon inspection by the con tractors and a member of Council, specialized to perform that duty, it was found to be unsatisfactory. The report of the examining committee made at the meeting rriday night, effected a complete change in the sentiment of the councilmanic body and resulted in the adoption ot the T rail, same as are in use in Blooms burg. The block from Market to Mulberry street is to be paved with vitrified brick and the balance maca damized. It is needless to say that this move on the part of council, in clearing the way for the trolley.is one of the great est of public conveniences, is sanc tioned by the populace of our neigh boring town and sustained by every one who believes in progressiveness. All the tools necessary for the grad ing and laying ot rails, nave been sent up and with favorable weather, Scanlon & Company confidently ex pect to have cars running through the town before Christmas. Wayfarer Falls to his Death. A strange character, known as " Louis the bum," whose migrations, for many years past, have excited the curiosity of people in many towns in which he has been in the habit of ap pearing at various intervals, fell to his death at Catawissa on Friday. Cata wissa has always been included in his current, and he would invariably strike it at the beginning of each win ter. This time, as usual, he was given work on the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company's coal dock. Fri day, while at work, he fell from the top to the bottom of one of the docks, a distance .of sixty feet, and was instantly killed. A great many people regarded him as a detective. He was always reticent and never said anything that would throw any light on his apparently mysterious existence. It developed on Saturday that the man's name was Louis Carpenter whose home was in Philadelphia where he had a mother, brother and other relatives. The brother came on to Catawissa Sunday. He claimed the remains and had them sent to Philadelphia for burial. Salaries Adjusted by Sohool Board. The Bloomsburg School Board as sembled In regular monthly meeting, in the Centre street school building, Friday evening. All the members were in attendance, as were also the teachers and janitors.

Lewis, who for more than twelve years past has been in the em ploy of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company as telegraph oper ator in the station here, has resigned and accepted a position as book keeper for the Pennsylvania Paper Mills at Catawissa. It will be hard for the Railway Company to replace so faithful and valuable an assistant. WM. H. HIDLAY, Cashier. ORANQEVILLE NEWS- The C.
