Auditing Committee,
Bloomsburg, Pa., April 6, 1903.
There were several causes lor
the delay in settlement, one of
which was that all the subscriptions
were not paid in until recently. It
is worthy of note that ot the large
sum subscribed all was paid except
eleven dollars, and there were satis
factory reasons in each case why
payment was not made.
Committee Meeting.
A meeting of the Executive Com
mittee was held in the Council
rooms on Wednesday evening
determine what should be done
with the surplus. There were pre
sent John R. Townsend, chairman
Geo. E. Elwell, secretary, Louis
Cohen, Col. T. G. Freeze, W. P
Meigs, W. O. Holmes, A. Z. Schoch
H. B. Clark, C. C. Peacock and
R. E. Hartman. Communications
were received from the Civic Club
and the Public Library, both asking
that the fund should be appropnat
ed to the library. Other objects
were suggested, among them being
the paving of Market Square, and
the erection of a tablet or stone to
commemorate the centennial. After
a lengthy discussion the following
resolution was unanimously adopt
ed:
Jiesohed, that the whole amount
of the fund remaining from the
centennial be appropriated to the
Public Library, under ceitain re
strictions, and that it be known as
the "Centennial Fund."
The fund is to be placed in the
hands of three trustees consisting
the President Judge of this district

Bloomsburg, and the President
the Library Co. 1 he interest is to
be paid lor the maintainance of the

shall have shown itselt to be estab
lished on a permanent basis, when
the priucipai may be used toward
the purchase of a lot o: the erection
of a building. Should the library
scheme fail ur want of support the
money is to be disposed of as jnay
be hereafter provided by the Cen

Bloomsburg, Pa.
In the discussion there was no
difference of opinion as to the use
fulness and desirability of the Li
brary. The only fears expressed
were that it might not be estab
lished on a permanent basis, and
unless the money were safe-guarded
it would be lost in a short time
and there would be nothing to show
that we ever had a centennial. It
was further suggested that the li
brary ought not to be dependent on
selling tickets for some sort of show
every few days, and on old rubbers
and bottles for its support. There
should be at least two hundred
names secured of persons willing to
subscribe five dollars or more a
year, and this will insure the cur
rent expenses of the library. Other
wise, the sentiment seemed to be,
that the constant appeals now nec
essary to get money for its needs,
would soon tire the people out, and
kill all interest in the project.
The large surplus was a surprise
to everybody. It shows most ex
cellent business management, as it
seldom happens that such a celebra
tion does not come out "in the hole."
Every dollar ot expense was care
fully estimated before hand, and all
the sub-committees kept thier ex
penditures within the limit allowed
them. While the results are most
gratifying, no one but those on the
iuside will ever know and appreci
ate the amount of labor performed
to bring it about. There are some
members of the committee who are
accually congratulating themselves
that they will not live to serve on
the next centennial committee.
Millvillt) Wants the Trolley
That the people of Millville want
the trolley is evident by the action
of the Borough Council taken at a
meeting held Monday. C. V
Miller attended the meeting and
made a report which was favorable
to the construction of the road. He
asked the council to adopt the "T
rail as his report was based on that
style of rail. The council took up
the matter and alter thoroughly
considering it voted unanimously
to grant the request and passed the
ordinance in that way. There is
every assurance now that work on
the proposed road will be com
menced as soon as the company ac
cepts the ordinauce.
This is where we can be of

A HEINOUS CRIME.
James McAndrew, of Centralia,
Assaulted, Robbed and Left
to Die Along the Roadside.
Tames McAndrew of Centralia,
was found unconscious on the road
leading from Centralia to Arestes
Monday morning of last week. His
skull was crushed from the fore
head to the base of the brain. He
was removed to the Miners Hospi
tal, at Fountain Springs. He re
maiued in an unconscious state
until Saturday night when his life
departed. An operation had been
performed, but it was unavailing
The circumstances surrounding
the crime are of the most malig
nant and atrocious villauy. He had
received his pay at the Midvalley
colliery, and was on his way home,
when he was assaulted, robbed and
then left to die along the road. All
his money was gone and his watch
had been torn from his vest.
The remains were removed from
the hospital vesterday to his home
at Centralia. Funeral services were
conducted in St. Ignatius church
and interment was made in the
parish cemetery.
The authorities are thoroughly
aroused and no effort will be spared
in discovering and punishing the
guilty parties. There will be, it is
expected, some developments in a
day or two which may aid the
authorities in their hunt. There
are already stories afloat which
connect a certain man with the
crime, aud he is under police vigil
ance. Deputy Coroner D. II. Welsh
of Ceutjalia, on Monday empanelled
a jury, composed of D. Z. Curran,
foreman, Frank Miller, James
Flynn, D. C. Black, William
Laughlin and Edword Gallagher.
The body was viewed, but an ad
journment taken until last evening,
when the jury visited the scene of
the murder. They then adjourned,
to meet again on Monday when
testimony will be heard. District
Attorney A. W. Duy will attend
the meeting on Monday.
