That Sea Lion-
The sea-lion that has been seen
all along the river for the past two
weeks has been captured. Accord
ing to the following dispatch from
Tunkhauuock, dated July 3, the
sea-lion didn't get within seventy
five miles of Bloomsburg. It reads
as follows:
Tuukhannock, Pa., July 3. A
sea-lion which escaped into the
Susquehanna River in New York
State ten days ago was captured
last night near Meshoppen. It got
awav lrom the pond where it was
confined with a mate, and since its
escare watchers alone the stream
have been searching for it.
, Its owner brought the mate to
Tuukhannock yesterday and placed
it in the river there in hope of at
tracting the escaped lion, which
was believed to be making its way
down the river. He had come too
far south for it, however, and late
last night received word that it had
been found. .
The discovery was made by Dr.
Stephen Sturdevant and George
Carter, of Meshoppen, yesterday
afternoon. They had been watch
ing for the lion and seeing it in the
river went out for it. They threw
fish at it, and, being tame, it fol
lowed the boat into shore for more.
There it was captured later without
much trouble and this morning the
owner with the lion's mate arrived
and took charge of it.
Damage From Wind-
At the Packer farm at Cameron,
between Danville and Northumber
land, twenty-seven locust trees, a
great attraction of the farm, which
formed a part of an arch of locust
trees for considerable distance along
the public roads, were blown down
by the storm on Friday. Part of
them fell across the road and part
into the adjacent field, so that all
travel on the road was impeded and
the farmers found it necessary to
cut out all the trees and thus remove
the blockade.

TO IMPROVE SOflOOL SYSTEM.
Tho Board Now Preparing New Features.
A school savings bank, the pur
pose of which is to foster and en
courage the habit of frugahtv
among the students and physical
exercise, are two new things which
are now under consideration by the
local School Board. The saving
bank, which every one must admit
will be a valuable addition to the
system, originated in the mind of
Supervising Principal L. P. Sterner
who is ever striving to increase the
erhciency of the schools. The plan
is that the teacher is to keep the
account of each student until a dol
lar has been saved when it is to be
turned over to one of the local banks
where the amount can be made to
grow to substantial proportion.
1 ne pnysicai training, too is a
conception of Professor Sterner's
and its adoption means a big ad
vancement in the work of the
schools.
At the Friday night meeting of
of the Board, a report from the
committee on buildings and grounds
was read which recommended re
pairs to the several buildings. Up
ou motion the same were ordered
to be made.
All bills presented were ordered
paid with the exception of one from
Mt. Pleasant township for tuition
tor the Low children lor the year
ending June 1, 1902, which was
laid over.
Miss Claire D. Buck of Grand
Rapids, Mich, was chosen to sue
ceed Miss Houser, as teacher of
elocution and English literature
Her election was unanimous.
Resolution of Eespect.
Following are the resolutions
that have been adopted by Kitchen's
Methodist Sunday School:
Whereas, the hand of affliction
has recently come to the home of
our brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs.
I. L. Artman, in such a way as to
remove from them their son, Har
ry; Be it resolved:
That we do extend to them and
family our sincere sympathy in this
time of sorrow ; that we entrust
them to our Heavenly Father, who,
in our times of sorrow and grief,
alone can give us that strength to
bear all afflictions; and that we as
sure them our prayers to God for
such a faith that they be enabled to
say "Thy will be done, not ours."
Be it further resolved,
That a copy of these resolutions
be handed to the bereaved family
and a copy be sent to a weekly
county paper for publication.

THE COLUMBIAN,
A GOOD RECORD-
The Industrial Building & Loan
Association has matured its third
series of stock, and the investment
has paid over 11 per cent. In
eleven years the Association has
fore-closed but one mortgage, and
has not been compelled to buy in
a single piece of real estate. It is
a strictly home institution, conduct
ed by men who can't afford to make
auy promises which they cannot
fulfill. It is no cet-rich quick con
cern, but is managed on sound rjusi
ncss principles. Many of those
whose stock has matured have
lasen new snares. A new series
has just been started. Any one
wanting to invest can get full in

"It has cost you quite a bit to pro

prothonotary to a young woman who
was making the payment which would
entitle her to the dissolution papers,
a day or two ago, "yes indeed it has,"
she replied, "but I would rather part
with the money than have him back
again," and the tone of her voice in

Electrio Lights for Nescopeck-
Nescopeck will soon haveeleclric
lights. An effort 111 this direction
1
was maae a numoer ot years ago
when a charter for the Nescopeck
Electric Light, Heat and Power
Co. was obtained, but a subsequent
canvass among the business men
and residents brought out the fact
that the number who were willing
to pay for the luxury was insuffi
cient to make the project a paying
one, and the idea was abandoned.
Now the franchise has been pur
chased by some Berwick and Scran-
ton capitalists and they have pre
sented an ordinance to the Borough
Council asking for the right to in
stall the necessary lines etc. A
committee has been appointed by
the council to consider the matter
and as soon as they report, which
in all probability will be favorable,
the matter will be determined.

B- F. OHRISPIN JR. DEAD-
Three Months Illness Ends in Death of One
ot Berwick's Prominent Residents.
In the death of B. F. Crispin Tr,
which occurred 011 Friday last,
there has passed from earthly view
one of Berwick's most substantial
residents. Since 1871, in which
year he moved from Philadelphia
to Berwick, he has been closely
identified with the town prosperity
and has always been a conspicuous
figure in the advancement of its
interests. His first position was
that of chief clerk and book-keeper
for the Jackson & uoodin Manu
facturing Company. In 1876 he
was elected teller of the First Nat
ional Bank which position he held
until 1894, w hen he was elected its
president. He continued in the
latter capacity up to the time of his
death. He was also director of the
bank, as well as a director of the
Columbia & Montour Electric Rail
way Company. He held interests
in various other enterprises but had
recently disposed of them.
Mr. Crispin was born in Phila
delphia in 1847, a son of B. F. and
Mrs. Elizabeth (Glenn) Crismn,
both of whom are dead, and leaves
to survive a wife, formerly Miss
Margaret Jackson, daughter of the
late M. V. Jackson, and three
children, namely, Helen J. at home
and M. Jackson and Clarence G. of
New ork City. Four brothers
and two sisters also survive.
Mr. Crispin was an active mem
ber of the M. E. Church and was
president of the board of trustees
He had been an earnest worker in
church interests for a number of
years and was a member of the
building committee under whose
direction and supervison the pre
sent handsome edifice was recently
erected.
He was a 32d degree Mason and
a Past Master of Knapp Lodge No.
462, F. & A. M., of Berwick; also
a member of Berwick Council No.
1 76 1, Royal Arcanum, and of
Washington Camp No. 105, P. O
S. of A.
The funeral took place from his
late residence Monday afternoon.
About twenty Masons from Blooms
burg and several from intermediate
points attended.
