Riddle, which has been noted from time to time in these columns, ended in death at his residence on Centre street about eight o'clock Monday morning. His affliction had its be ginning in November of 1900 in the nature of paralysis. His entire right side was affected, and the loss of vol untary motion rendered him helpless. He had a second stroke in October last, since which time his condition had been very critical. Rev. Riddle was born in Center county, this state, December 3, 1829. lie obtained his education at Dick son College, Carlisle, and went from there to the Concord Biblical Institute where he prepared for the ministry, entering the Baltimore Conference in 1857. He became a member of the Central Pennsylvania Conference at its organization in 1869 and has held many important appointments, among them being Berwick, Sliamokin, Al toona, Huntingdon, Danville, Tyrone, Lewisburg, Bloomsburg, Renova and Wrightsville. Wrightsville was his last charge. After completing this appointment he was obliged by reason of advanced years and failing iealth to give up active service in the ministery. This was three years ago. He then moved to Bloomsburg and has resided here ever since. He was twice married. His first wife, who died about twenty-five years ago, was a Miss Packer, daugh ter of Samuel J. Packer, of Sunbury. The fruit of this union was five chil dren, two of whom are dead. The survivors are Jennie, Mary and Julia. His second marriage wa3 to Miss Annie K. McCollum, of Huntingdon, who with two children, Margaret and bilas survive. It will be seen that the major por tion of his life has been given over to the service of the church. He has manifested himself a man of honor and virtue and passes to his reward with the credit of a life well spent. lhe funeral will occur from the residence to morrow at ten o'clock. Services will be conducted by a num ber of well known ministers. Inter ment will be made in Rosemont Cemetery. Moomslburi? Na tional Baulk Is conducted on conservative, and unquestion able legitimate banking principles, and any interests or business intrusted to it will be cared for to its patrons' entire satisfaction.

Tried to Kill Himself. An attempt at seit destruction was made by Erastus Baker of Espy, Saturday. He took an ounce of laudanum, mixed with some whiskey, and after remarking to a neighbor that he had taken his last dose, went into the house. The neighbor had his misgivings, and after a brief space of time, entered the Baker house, and found that he had made good his threat, and that the opium was already taking effect. A physician was promptly summoned, who admin istered an emetic, and life was saved The unfortunate man, it appears has been out of work since the aban donment of the canal, and failure to obtain employment depressed his spirits. He is a widower, and for number of years has been living alone a . An Enforced Vacation- The employees of the Blooms burg silk mill are having an enforced vacation this week. The main shaft broke Tuesday night, making a lay off necessary until the damage can be repaired, which will require three days at the least calculation. The misfortune occurring, as it did, while the plant was being operated by the night force, made it impossible for the proprietors to reach their many employes in time to save them a trip to the mill in the morning. Married. February nth, at the M. E. Par sonage in Eyers Grove, J. L. Murphy, of Pine Grove Mills, Centre county. Pa., and S. Elenor Schultz, of Jersey town, were married by Rev. David Y Brouse.

Hartman & Son Will announce in a few .days, date for opening of New Spring Merchan dise in all departments. R. E. HARTMAN. WAYLAID BY A THUG. Our sister town of Berwick was thrown into wild excitement Satur day evening, by a highway robbery, committed on Pine Street. The victim was W. S. Diehl, a representa tive of a large Art firm of York, this state. The perpetrator sneaked up behind Mr. Diehl and administered a severe blow with sandbag. He was rendered unconscious, and remained in that state for several minutes. When he regained his senses, his gold watch, revolver, and a sum of money were missing Mr. Diehl does not know how much money was stolen, but it was more than five dol lars. Frequently in the past he had carried large sums of money on his person, a fact with which the person or persons who committed the crime were evidently familiar. Berwick police officers made a diligent search to locate the guilty party, but with out avail. Mordecai J. Fowler was arrested by policeman Clayberger on Monday. He is charged with the crime, but claims to be able to prove an alibi. One by one the old residents of Columbia County are passing away The summons came to Henry Wagner, at his home in Divide, on Monday. He had ben in poor health for a long time, being af fiicted with stomach trouble. This however, was not the sole cause of death, old age being partly resoon- sible. He was born in 1820, and was therefore 82 years old. Mrs Wagner was called from earth several years ago, so that now there are only the children, seven in number, four sons and three daughters remaining. The funeral, with interment in the Cemetery at Waller took place this morning. Constable Miles Betz. who was appointed at the last meeting of Council to collect the town taxes, is now tailing on all delinquents, Mr. Betz is not ambitious to distress any one, and will allow a reason able length of time to those who are not prepared when he calls Continued refusals, however, will not be tolerated and ths taxes must be paid at the time agreed upon. Loafine on the street corners Sunday evenings is being practised again and our policemen should see to it that the habit is broken up Last Sunday evening it was almost impossible to get through the mob which had congregated on the corner of Market and Third Street, and the talk was of the most de grading sort.
