The Berwick Store Company, will
erect a large boarding house with
accommodations for three hundred
boarders. The great scarcity ot
houses in our neighboring towns,
has prompted this enterprise. The
boarding house will be conducted

time past has been the proprietor
of a restaurant in that town.
One of the greatest catches in
this vicinity in many years was
that of a twenty-five pound carp by

AS EAST VI0T0ET.

Normal bested Dickinson College
at base ball Friday afternoon, before
the largest crowd of the season. The
game though one sided was not en
tirely devoid of interest. Dickinson
started in with a batting matinee, and
this coupled with the high disagreea
ble wind which prevailed at the time,
making good fielding out of the ques
tion, gathered 5 runs. Normal nearly
evened matters in the half of the first
by scoring 4. This was really the
only exciting inning of the game. In
the second Normal secured 5 more,
and on every inning save two they
increased their lead, until they had
filed up 29 to their opponents 13.
After the first inning Stephenson,
who pitched for Normal, settled down,
and gave a beautiful exhibition of
twirling. Dickinson tried four differ
ent pitchers, but none of them could
stop Normal's terrible onslaught.
They secured 16 hits in all for a
total of 25 bases.
On Saturday the Normal went to
Harrisburg, where they played the
strong Athletic Association team of
that city. The game w.s badly spot
ted with errors, Harrisburg having 10
charged against them to 4 against
Normal. There was, however, several
brilliant plavs made. The score was
Harrisburg 10, Normal 9. The
Harrisburg Patriot says:
The Bloomsburg boys played nice
ball but were in hard luck, as their
errors came just when the H. A. C.
hit trie ball. Shaffer demonstrated in
the seventh inning, when he had the
bases lull, that when he had put himself
in a tight hole he was able to pull him
self out, as he struck out H. Taylor.
Old Honnis Hartwick could only hit
a little fly to third and Steese fouled
out. Again in the ninth, after two
runs had been scored and there were
two out, the bases were again full but
the best McManigal could do was to
send a long fly to left.
A Propitious Opening.
The fair and festival under the
auspices of the Rescue Fire Company,
of the Fourth Ward, opened in the
company's building on East Fifth
Street Monday evening.
A street parade, in which the
Bloomsburg Band and the fire com
panies participated was the prefatory
feature. If the crowd of people which
attended Monday evenings presage
anything the boys will have little
difficulty in liquidating the debt of
$500 which hangs over them.
On the first floor of the building
is served ice cream and other delica
cies. The second floor is devoted
entirely to the fair. There is a nice
lot of articles on sale, such as
groceries, furniture, and household
supplies in general and at very reason
able prices. The interior decorations
of the whole building are tasty and
attract the attention as soon as a
person enters.
Considerable interest is being taken
in the articles to be chanced off. They
are a clock, presented by F. P. Dilley
& Co. of Philadelphia, a beautiful
brass bedstead, from H. G. Supples,
a handsome sideboard, from Hawley
Slate Furniture Company, and a
suit of clothes from John R. Town-
send. Chances on any of these
articles can be purchased from mem
bers of the Company. The fair and
festival will continue throughout the
week, and the Rescue boys extend a
general invitation to the people to
attend. There will be music every
evening.
Bloomsburg relatives yesterday
morning received word by telegram,
that Fred Fowler, aged about 16
years, a son of John D. Fowler, who
formerly resided here, had drowned
Tuesday night near his home at
Downer's Grove, Illinois. The
nearest of kin to the unfortunate
young man, residing in town, are
Nathan B. Fowler, his grandfather,
and Mrs. F. M. Gilmore, an aunt.
There are also quite a number of
other relatives living in Bloomsburg
all of whom are grieved over the
sad news.
A. A. Pealer. of Asbury, for
many years in partnership with
Elliott Lemons, and trading as
Pealer ana Lemons, ana Miss
Maude Tubbs. of Canibra. will be
married at noon to-day. The
ceremony will be performed by
Rev. Corneil a former pastor of the
Asbury charge but now located in
Blair county. Mr. and Mrs.
Theodore Garrison will attend.
The bride elect is a niece of Mrs.
Garrison.
The audience which witnessed
the Carpet Mill Nescopeck game
nf hase ball at Athletic Park Satur
day afternoon reminded one of old
times. It was the largest crowd
that has assembled there in many
moons. The Carpet Mill boys dup
licated their brilliant work of the
week before, and agaiu won out 15
to 9.
Rev. G. H. Hemingway will be
the orator at Millville on Memorial
Day.
MD3T STAND TRIAL-
The Case Against Jeremiah Snydor It Con
tinued to the September Term of Court.
The case against County Treasurer
Jeremiah Snyder took on an alto
gether unexpected phase on Satur
day, when the Court decided that he
must stand trial for embezzlement.
To say that this turn in the case was
a surprise is putting it mildly. Shortly
after Court convened District At
torney John G. Harman appeared
and stated that the aggregate amount
of Commissions retained by Mr. Sny
der, $1,023, nac' keen Ta'd over an(l
that if the Court would allow a nol
pros, to be entered, Mr. Snyder would
resign from the office. Judge Little
would not consider this He did, how
ever, consent to a continuance until
the next term of court, knowing that
Counsel had not had sufficient time to
prepare the case.
Grant Herring, associats counsel
for the Tax Payers Association, at
whose instance the charge against Mr.
Snyder was brought, appealed to
Judge Little to reconsider the refusal
of a nol pros. He continued by say
ing that treasurer Snyder had only
followed out the custom or practice
instituted by his predecessors. He
was not wholly to blame in the mat
ter, because he had only acted upon
the advice of others, whom he thought
competent to instruct him. Conclud
ing Mr. Herring stid that inasmuch
as Mr. Snyder has made all the re
paration within his power by refund
ing the money and offering to resign
the office, he thought it sufficient
punishment if the court would accept
the resignation, and not inflict any
further punishment upon him.
Judge Little refused the request as
follows:
"This appeal, though eloquent,
falls on deaf ears. If it is true, as
Judge Herring has said, that Jeremiah
Snyder has been lead into this; has
been wrongly advised: that is the
necessity for a public trial.
"The presumption of innocence
now surrounds Jeremiah Snyder. He
is not yet proved guilty.
And I believe that I express the
sentiments ot every Judge upon this
Bench that if the time ever comes
when it will be upon our part to
exercise clemency and indulgence,
that will not be lacking if the facts,
upon public trial, disclose it.
" If it is true that other parties are
responsible here (and the wording of
the Act of the Assembly makes any
one who ;s connected as an advisory
or an accessory equally guilty with
him) a public trial should disclose it
ana the evidence should be heard.
The application is refused."
