8 THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA. TMUKSI 'AY, JUNE II. 1903. 1, 1 ANOTHER MURDER. John Swatskl, Dies at State Hospital From a Knife Wound. John Seesholtz Arrested. Crime is still being committed in and about Centralia, despite tlie efforts of the authorities to put a stop to it. It lias only been a few weeks since Levari was arrested. charged with having struck tho blows which caused the death of James McAndrcws, and ..now another, in all probability murder, has been committed. The latest victim is John Swatski a young foreigner who was assault ed on the road near Centralia early in the morning of Monday of last week. lie was stabbed three times in the back, oneot the wounds penetrating the loft kidney, almost cutting it in two. He was removed to the State Hospital, at Fountain Springs, where an operation was performed, but the patient could not survive it, and he died Friday night. Before he died Swatski, it is said, made a statement, in which he charged Seesholtz, with being his murderer. lie was unable to give a very dear account of the assault, but from what he said it was gathered that he was return ing home about three o'clock in the morning, when he was he,ld up by three or four men who attempted to rob him. He resisted and an altercation followed, during which he was stabbed. Seesholtz was known to have been with Swatski the night pre vious, which fact together with the dying man's statement, turned the finger of suspicion toward him, and the authorities were soon on the hunt. lie was found on Sunday by Constable Langdon, and taken before Justice of the Feaee Black of Centralia for hearing. Three witnesses appeared against, him and while none of theai saw the crime committed, yet they furnished suffi cient evidence to warrant the Justice in holding him, and he was remanded to jail to await the Sept ember term of court. There are one or two others who are said to be implicated in the crime, but they have thus far elud ed arrest. Constable Langdon arrived in Bloomsburg with the prisoner on Monday. The case against him is strong. His knife, with which the mortal wounds were inflicted is now in the possession of District Attorney Duy, and will be used as evidence when the trial comes up in September. ALL SUCCESSFUL. Again the State Board of Examin ers have come and gone and the students are correspondingly happy. The entire number of i.onurs, juniors and middlers recommended by the Faculty were successful. When the announcement was made by assistant deputy Superintendent Cass, in the Auditorium Tuesday evening the whole student body breathed a sigh of relief and their ecstacy broke into applause. Re marks were then made by the mem bers of the board, each speaker being introduced by Dr. Welsh. It was indeed a happy day for the students, and to celebrate the event, Dr. Welsh gave them per mission to atttend the circus, A number of the teachers accompani ed them.

SUCCESSFUL EXERCISES. Fourteen young ladies and nine young gentlemen constituted the senior class of the Bloomsburg High School, which severed their con nection with the institution on Thursday last when they received their diplomas which marked completion of their studies at the school. The exercises took place in the Opera House Thurs day evening, and the program as printed in our last issue was carried out. There was present an audi ence that tested the capacity of the building. The graduates together with Principal L. P. Sterner and the members of the School Board oc cupied seats upon the stage, which was very artistically decorated with potted plants and flowers. The class colors predominated in the decora tions and the whole combined to make an interesting picture. There was not a weak spot on the entire program and every one did excellently. And now their school days, or for some of them at least are over and they will begin the struggles of lite in earnest. The lessons they have learned in the school room will aid them in the troubles and vicissitudes which will confront them in the walk through life. Tney have received a good start, and the Columbian joins with their many friends in hoping that they mav continue right. But they must keep on, success will not come without eflort. In this connection we present the words of Sir Walter Raleigh, '-Be-stow thy youth so that thou mavst have comfort to remember it, when it hath forsaken thee, and not sigh and grieve at the account thereof. Whilst thou art young thoi'. wilt think it will never have an end; but behold the longest day hath its evening and that thou shalt enjoy it but once, that it never turns again; use it therefore as the spring time, which soon departeth, and wherein thou oughtest to plant and sow all provisions for a long and happy life." THE STATE AT A GLANCE. At a meeting of the Mt. Carmel Council an ordinance passed first reading which, when it becomes a law, wil' prevent any one from erecting a frame structure on Oak street, ihe principal street of the town. W. F. Haubel, of Riverside, N. J., will arrive in Shamokin this week to purchase a plot of ground on which will be erected a hve story brick stocking factory, which will employ 1 ,000 hands. Work on the buildiug will begin this fall, and the plant will be in operation by next spring. The public, particularly the ministers and physicians, are warn ed to be on the lookout for a train ed nurse fraud, who has been doing the neighboring towns. She is about forty years of age, slightly gray and prepossessing in appear ance. She represents herself as a trained nurse, who has been de serted by her patient and is con sequently without funds. The Williamsport heirs of An thony Augenbach, who died 93 years ago, have secured legal counsel with the object in view of proving their claim to about seven million dollars worth of the most valuable real estate and mineral rights in Pottsville, including a goodly portion of Centre street. . . . The degree team of Theta Castle, K.nights of the Golden Eagle, and a dozen or more members of the order, paid a fraternal visit to the Berwick Castle Monday nigbt. ,:7'j V I y- f ' mnm4 - - FROM OOUfiT H0U3E CORRIDORS'. ; The marriage market is still strong.

Hill l Co., Nnbut.N.H EOBINSOS'S CIROUS PLEAEES- Gavo Good Street Parado and Clean Per formance!. The Robinson circus was attend ed by thousands of people on Tnes da) The seating capacity of the large tent was arranged for ten thousand people, and at the after noon performance all the space, with the exception of a few of the reserv ed seats, was occupied. A good sized audience witnessed the even ing performance, and it is estimated that over fifteen thousand people saw the circus at the two perform ances. Owing to the big jump from Ta maqua here, and the distance of the show ground from the P. & R. rail road the parade did not start until nearly twelve o'clock. It moved over the principal streets of the town and was witnessed by immense crowds all along tho line. The showing was a very pleasing oue, and there were man' compliments. The horses were particulurly hand some. The gilded dens were all new, or uearly so, which added much to the appearance of the parade. There were three rings and a platform and there was something doing all the time. There were many plaudits for the slack wire performers and the trained elephants and everybody laughed at the com icalities of the clowns. The best feature of the circus, however, was the traiued seals. They did every thing but talk, and seemed to under stand everything that their trainer said to them. The biblical production of King Solomau and the Queen of Sheba was given just before the regular performance with a well drilled cast. The costumes were elaborate and historically correct. The much exploited loop the loop was a fake. The "black demon" as ho was termed did not use an automobile as was advertised, but a truck. The feat is of course at tended with some danger, but it is nothing more than what has been done at the summer resorts for years past. The act called forth only feeble applause. The menagerie was not large, but a very nice collection ot animals was shown, aud embraced speci mens from various parts of the world. Two baby lions appeared to attract the most attention. They played and romped about the iron barred enclosure like kittens. Everything considered, the show is a big one, and compares very favorably with Barnum & Bauy. Choral Sociuty Meeting. Last week Monday night was the regular time for the election of offi cers for the Bloomsburg Choral Society, but as there was not a quo rum present there was no election. This Thursday night has now been appointed for the election, and the meeting will be held in the Parish House to-night, June nth, it 7:30 o clock. Every member is request ed to be present, as business of hn portatice will come before the society for consideration. There must be twenty at least to constitute a quo rum. Alter the recent successful concert there ought tc be sufficient interest shown by the members to attend the meeting, inasmuch as the future of the society depends on the action that will be taken now. NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY. There is in prospect a new Tele phone Company, which if it is or ganized, and it is almost an assured fact, will'furnisha much needed and long wanted convenience to upper end of Columbia County residents.

The following is a synopsis of a ruling of the United States Supreme court in important cases regarding newspaper subscription?: "1. Subscribers who do not give exp-ess notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to renew their Subscription. "2. If subscribers order the discon tinuance ot their periodical the pub lisher may continue to send them un til all arrearages are paid. "3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the post office to which they are directed they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered the paper dis continued. "4. If subscribers move to other places without informing (lie publish er, and the papers are "sent to the former address, subscribers are held responsible. "5, The courts have decided that refusing to take periodicals from the office or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima frcie evidence of intentional fraud. "6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise t . publisher is authorized to send it and the subscriber be responsible until an express notice, with payment of all arrearages, is sent to the publisher. "7. The latest postal laws are such that a newspaper publisher can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under the law the man who allows his subsciip tion to run along for some time un paid and then orders it discontinued, or, orders the postmaster to mark it 'refused' and have a postal card sent notifying the publisher, leaves him self liable to arrest and tine, the same as for theft."

JuuWs Unique Decision. Judge Stebecker, of Wisconsin, has displayed Solomon-like wisdom in some of his decisions. Two men ap peared before him. One was a butch er, who claimed that the defendant owed him $10 for a meat bill. TKe defendant, a strikingly thin and gau.it figure, denied the bill. Statements and counter statements followed each other with great rapidity. The lie was passed, but the constable inter vened. "When was this meat purchased which you sold the defendant ?" asked the judge. "During the past four weeks, Your Honor," declared the butcher. 'Then I decide this case in favor of the defendant," remarked the judge, deliberately, as he scrutinized tne emaciated figure before him. "His appearance indicates that he has noc eaten $10 worth of meat in his life time." Boston rost. Eulics of Colonial Days. The Rev. Charles E. Brugler, rector of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Port Chester, N. Y. a member of the So ciety of Colonial Wars ard of the Sons of the American Revolution, has collected one ot the most valuable . exhibits of the Colonial days ever seen in the country, to be shown at a Co lonial tea given by the women of St. Peter's Church. Some of the things money could not buy. They are the heirlooms of old and distinguished families, and are considered priceless. The most interesting, probably, is the mess chest of General Lafayette, used by him while serving in the Aire rican army in the Revolutionary Wr. Mr. Brugler is a grandson of the late J. J. Browerr That Golden Wedding.
