Mr mrfTvlf f iHtir f r VOL 37. BLOOMSBURG. PA. THURSDAY. JULY, 10 1902. NO. 2S till All V J . MRS, PETER 8- HA.RMAN- At her home on Iron street, this town, Saturday afternoon at four o'clock, after an illness of several months, Mrs. Rebecca F. Ilarman, widow of the late Peter S. Ilarman, was born anew and entered into eter nal li'e1 For more than two weeks htr condition had been very low and the end had been momentarily ex pected. Her ailment vas of a very complicated nature and the prognosis of the physician in the begin ning oi her sickness was anything but hopeful. At times, however, she would appear to be much improved and the family had hope for her re covery. But it was not to be so, and the end came peacefully Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Ilarman was in her sixty-sixth year. She was a woman ot many good qualities, a faithful member of St. Paul's Episcopal church and was always willing to lend her aid in the work of the parish, and many friends will, as the days go by, feel that a helpful influence has been lost by her removal. In 1856 she was united in marriage to Peter S. Harman. The result of the union was seven children all of whom survive. They are Mrs. Daniel Butler, J. Lee, Mrs. W. E. Hartman, Mrs. C. S. Van Horn, John G., Mrs. A. H. Stroh, of Christopher, Pa., and Paul Z. Three brothers and one sister sur vive, Col. John G. Freeze, Peter H. Freeze, of town; James P. Freeze, of Salt Lake City, Utah, and Mrs. .William Quick, of town. The funeral occurred al two o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Rev. D. N. Kirkby conducted the services and members of St. Paul's choir sang "Abide With Me" after which the re mains were taken to Rosemont ceme tery and placed to rest in the family plot. The pall bearers were A. Z. Schoch, J. R. Townsend, C. W. Funs ton, A. H. Bloom, J. L. Dillon and Geo. E. Elwell. Peter Freeze, the progenitor of the family from which Mrs. Harman de scended, was born in New Jersey and was a soldier in the war of the Revo lution, in the Jersey line, and served until peace was declared. After re ceiving his pay, in continental money, be emigrated to Pennsylvania and settled in Northumberland county at a place called Tuckahoe. He mar ried a young woman of good family, by name Elizabeth Garrison or Garret son. Besides a child or two who died in infancy, there was one son, James Freeze, and four daughters, Rebecca, Rachel, Sarah and Mary. James married Frances Gosse, a daughter of John Gosse, in April 1823, by whom he was the father of eight children, John G., Peter 11., Mary, James P , Rebecca E., the de ceased; William R., who died in in fancy; Christiann and Sallie Reed. The Mifflinville Bridge Will be Built- After a fight covering a period of nearly two years the residents of Mifflunville will have their hopes realized. The court on Monday made an order approving the pro ceedings for a bridge across the Sus quehanna river at that point. Im mediately after this action by the court the County Commissioners held a meeting and passed the following resolution, which makes the con struction of the bridge an absolute certainty. The resolution is as follows: Resolved: Ttat the proceedings for a county bridge over the Susque hanna river at the village of Mifflin ville as of December Sessions iooo in the court of Quarter Sessions of Columbia county and which was an proved and confirmed by the order of court made July 7th, 1903, be also approved by the County Commission ers and we also find and it so appears that the said proposed bridge is nec essary and would be too expensive for the adjoining townships to bear. Further, that a certified copy of this resolution be made, filed in the court of Quarter Sessions, and entered at length upon the record in the said proceeding. That work on the bridge is to be commenced at once is manifest from the fact that after the adoption of the above resolution, James C. Brown was elected as the engineer to prepare the plans and to superintend the building of the bridge at a salary of $5.00 per day with an additional al lowance to pay for his necessary as sistants. Mr. Brown was chosen by the votes of Kitchen and Fisher, Mi. Krickbaum voting for Boyd Trescott of Millville. The town council meets ia regit lar monthly session tonight. BISHOP TALBOT WILL NOT STAND TRIAL- Board of Inquiry of Episcopal Church Fails to Find tvidence Enough to Justify Indictment. By a vote of five to four the board of inquiry of the Episcopal church de cided on Thursday not to return Bishop Talbot, of the Central Penn sylvania diocese, to the house of bishops for trial on the charge of con duct unbecoming a bishop, preferred against him by Rev. Dr. L. Irvine, of Philadelphia, whom the accused bishop unfrocked for alleged scandalous con duct while the priest was serving as rector of St. John's parish, Huntingdon. It is understood that Dr. Irvine in tends presenting some new testimony, in lact he so declared himself after the verdict had been rendered, and which, he claims will be sufficient to warrant an investigation. Those voting in favor of the bishop were: Rev. Dr. J. G. Powers, of Potts- ville; Colonel Fred W. Reynolds, of Bellefonte; H. M. North, of Columbia; Rev. Dr. G. C. Foley, of Williamspoit, ot the Central Pennsylvania diocese, and Rev. Dr. Huntingdon, of the New York diocese. Those voting to have the bishop placed on trial were: Rev. Dr. W. B. Bodine, of Philadelphia; Rev. Dr. Hodges, of Baltimore; Rev. Dr. Parks, of New York, and Mr. Thomas, of the Maryland diocese. . . A Sudden and Severe Storm- Saturday evening at five o'clock the sky was clear, scarcely a cloud affected the heaven's blue, but in the brief space of half an hour what a change had taken place, the sky was dark and tempestuous, the wind was blowing with cyclone velocity and the rain was descending in torrents. The gutters were oveinowed and the streets transformed into good sized streams. The damage was small in 1 Bloomsburg, but from inquiry by tele phone we learn that various parts of the county suffered considerable loss. Jackson Hummel, of Cleveland town ship, was one ot the biggest losers. His barn was struck with lightning and totally destroyed. Whether the building was insured or not we are not able to state, but it is to be hoped that it was and sufficient to indemnify him for the loss. A fiery bolt descended upon a barn belonging to Eli McHenry at Benton but only slight damage resulted. The D. L. & W. R. R. station at Berwick was struck but a prompt re sponse of the fire companies saved the structure. Jonestown, Millville, Stillwater and other towns felt the force of the storm but little real damage was done at either places. In the direct path of the storm many trees were uprooted while others were entirely bereft of their limbs or foliage.

Oashier Eleoted- The vacancy in the cashiership at the Farmers National Bank has been filled by the election of J. N. Thomp son, of Middleburg, this state. Mr Thompson has been the cashier of the Middleburg National Bank for some time and consequently is a man of extensive banking experience. His l election was unanimous. The strength of a bank depends not so much upon its Capital and Surplus, as upon its careful, painstaking, conservative management; by unremitting attention to every detail of its business; restricting its opera tions to legitinate enterprises, and eliminating all speculative ventures.
