Main St. Memorial Day- Memorial Day was properly ob served in Bloomsburg on Friday. The exercises throughout the day were solemn, impressive and appropriate. Early in the morning, a delegation of Ent Post, visited the cemetery at Almedia, and decorated the graves of the soldiers. The exetcises here began with the parade which formed on Market Square at two o'clock in the afternoon. The Band headed the procession, followed by members of the P. O. S. of A., O. U. A. M., Ent Post, G. A. R.. Spanish Ameri can War Veterans, and the Friend ship and Liberty Fire Companies. It was the Liberty bovs first ap pearance in their new uniforms, and they looked quite fetching. Ail along the line of march their appearance was favorably commented upon. The Band played a dirge as they entered the cemetery. At the soldiers circle Rev. J. D. Thomas offered invocation, after which Post Com mander George W. Sterner made a few remarks. His words, were well chosen, and many eves filled with tears as he spoke. Chaplain N. B. Fowler followeJ with prayer, and M. P. Lutz read Lincoln's address at Gettysburg. During the exercises kind hands laid tokens ot respect on the resting places of those who have gone before. The evenings program in the Opera House consisted of music by Schwarz Orchestra, a solo by H. S. Barton, a chorus of school children, a recitation by Mrs. J. L. Richardson and an eloquent address by James M. Coughlin of Wilkes-Barre. Eucknell Victorious. The third annual debate between the Calliepian Literary ( Society of Buckhell Academy and the Philolo gian Society of Bloomsburg, held in the Auditorium Saturday evening re sulted in a victory for Bucknell. The previous two years, debates were won by Philo, but this time the tables were turned. The question was Re solved that all trusts and general com binations tending to banish competi tion should be prohibited by law. The affirmative was supported by Miss Julia Smigelski, F. Herman Fritz and David Spenser, represent ing Bloomsburg, and the negative by John Owen, Howard Griffith and Samuel J. Black, representing Buck nell. Prof. Carter, of Scranton, Prof. Kelley, of Bucknell, and Prof. Sterner, of Bloomsburg acted as judges.

Treasurer's sale of seated unseated lands next Monday. and VERDICT OF CORONERS' JURY. The jury empanelled by Deputy Coroner Welsh ol Centralia, to hear witnesses, and determine according to law, the cause of the death of Clarence F. Sitler, of Center town ship, wiiose lifeless body was found in his wagon along the road noar Cen tralia Wednesday morning of last week, returned a verdict at Aristeson Monday that death was due to expo sure and suffocation. The testimony of three witnesses was taken, namely, Thomas McGin- lcy, who was in company with Sitler when he left Bloomsburg Tuesday afternoon and who was observed with him by different people at various places along the road; William Goss, who was the first to discover the dead man, and Dr. Davis, of Centralia, who made an examination of the body. In relating his story to the jury McGinley said that he did not remem ber what occurred after he and Sitler lelt John Kline s in Catawissa town ship, lie could not tell how he reached home. He could not recol lect whether they had driven to Numedia the second time or not. The whole affair was a blank to him. He could not even tell how his face and head had been injured. The only thing that ne knew or was positive of was that he had given Sitler $2.00 to take him home. The money was paid over before they lelt Blooms burg Tuesday afternoon. William Goss testified that he had passed McGinley and Sitler early in the evening of Tuesday, on the mountain near Numedia. ine posi tion of Sitler s body, he said, was the same as it was when he discovered it Wednesday morning. This evidence brought out the fact and made it clear to the minds of the jury that, Sitler, at the time that Goss passed them Tuesday evening, was either sick or dead. Dr. Davis was present at the inquest. He had made an examina tion of the body. ' He said that death in his opinion was caused by suffoca tion. Many hold to ths belief that the injuries to McGinley's lace are the result of a fall, very likely from the wagon, that strong argument in sup port of this theory is the finding along the road traveled by the two men marks of blood, and an impression in the road such as a dragging body would make. Ihe hnding ot the Coroner s jury will in all probability end the case, that is so far as official action is con cerned. The family and friends of the dead man, may continue the investigation, but it is doubtful mote than has already been brought out, will ever be known.

A Great Victory- The Normal team won a great victory at Bellefonte on Saturday when they defeated the formidable team of State College by a score of 8 to 4. The victory is a great one, first be cause it was the only time that State had been defeated this season, aud secondly because it was their first de feat on the home grounds in three yeais. From all accounts the finish ol the game was very exciting. In the last half of the eleventh inning, with the score a tie 4 4 Normal came to bat. There were three men on bases and two out. Jack Steven ton stepped to the plate. The sus pense at this moment was great. He had two strikes and three balls. The next one had to be good as a base on balls meant a run. The pitcher rea lized this fact and he decided to put it over and trust to luck. He did but fate was unkind to him, as Steventon hit it with a veageance. The ball sailed to the most remote part of the field and before it was returned he made a circuit of the bases sending three across before him. By this timely and terrible drive, Steventon made himself the most important fac tor in the greatest base ball victory ever achieved by a Normal team "Tommy" Hayes was in the box on this occasion, and his work was fault less. Only eight hits were made off his delivery. He is a pitcher with a good arm and excellent judgment. A new line of Ruskin Vellum invi tations and wedding stationery just received at this office.
