DEATH OF EEV. F. B. EIEDLE.
The illness of Rev. F. B. 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.

' Holy Week.
Dailv services are being held this
- week by those churches which observe
Holy Week. At St. Paul's church
there are two services to-day, at 9:30
and 4:30. To-morrow, Good Friday,
there will be services at 10:30, Medi
tations from 1 a to 3, and evening
prayer at 7:30. On Saturday there
will be meetings at 9:30 and 4:30

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

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.

sonage in Eyers Grove, J. L. Murphy,

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.
