THE COLUMBIAN.
BLOOMSBURG, PA.
THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1903.
the wheelmen surprised.
The Friendies turned the tables
on the Wheelmen Tuesday evening.
The latter imported White from
Berwick for the occasion but the
fire laddies didn't appear to have
any difficulty in finding him. In
the second inning they bumped him
for four clean hits in succession
which netted three runs. The de
feat, however cannot be attributed
to White. He should have won
but with the ragged support he re
ceived victory was out of the ques
tion. Sharpless tor the Wheelmen
played a beautiful game both at the
bat and in the field. In one inning
he retired the whole side on assists.
Coffman too, was on his toes all the
time and his throws to first went
orer on a line. The crowd was the
largest since the normal games, and
the sport was thoroughly enjoyed.
Now the series is a tie each having
won a game, and the Wheelmen
have posted $50 that they can win
the "rubber". Following is Tues
day's score:
Friendships 040030 18
Wheelmen 0330 1 006

springs of pure cold water situated
one on either side of the Park.
Seats and other conveniences have
been provided. A merry-go-round

Health in Walking.
When all is said and done there is
nothing better for most people, old or
young, fat or lean, rich or poor, than
walking. It can always be made in
teresting by the simple device of using
a watch to time, even if pretty and
pleasant walks cannot be found. It
is good for all the digestive organs,
good for the complexion, good for the
temper. It costs nothing and makes
nobody ridiculous. It can be gradu
ated to suit all strengths, from that of
the delicate woman of fifty-6ve, who
finds a leisurely mile of an afternoon
enough for her, to the robust but over
busy man of eight and thirty, who
gets up an hour earlier in the morning
to put in a fast five miles on the high
road, change and rub down, and go to
business feeling ten years younger.
And best of all it is in the open air.

The Zion Missionary Society will

pleasant time is anticipated, and all
are cordially invited.

A Very Pretty Church Wedding Solemnized
Tuetday Evening.
The Reformed Church, corner of
Iron and Third Street, was the
scene of a happy event Tuesday
evening at six o'clock, when Miss
Ella, daughter of Ex-sheriff John
Mourey, of Kulp, became the wife
of Fred Hoffman of Berwick. The
ceremony was performed by the
pastor Rev. J. D. Thomas. Miss
Mourev made a fair bride. She was
gowned with blue voile, trimmed
with cream colored lace, aud look
ed her best. The rare taste in
dress which she has always had
wa9 manifest in her wedding gown.
The groom is a popular and trusted
employee of the Berwick Store
Company, and they will make their
home in that town. The bride's
manv friends in Bloomsburg extend
felicitations.
SAW THE 8AL-
A week ago Sunday evening the
seal that escaped at Binghamton
and came down the Susquehanna
River was seen at Towanda. He
was going up stream, and was seen
the next day at Athens sixteen miles
further up. At Towanda seven
boats were out trying to catch him.
He would come to the surface and
flop around until a boat approached
him, when he would dive, and
come up again fifty or more feet
away. Some shots were fired at
him but did not take effect. There
is a reward of three hundred dollars
for his capture. The river bank
was lined with people and among
those who saw the seal were Miss
Marie Funk and Miss Mable Neal
of Bloomsburg, who were visiting
Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Elwell at the
time.
A Court House Wedding
Justice of the peace Jacoby of
ficiated at a wedding in the Pro
thonotary's office in the Court
House Monday morning. The
parties to the nuptial contract were
Howard B. Sutliff and Miss Maud
Lillian Ennis, both of Wilkes-Barre.
The bride was not of age and as
her parents reside at Berwick they
were obliged to come that far to ob
tain her father's consent after which
they came to Bloomsburg for the
legal permit. The bride was quite
prepossessing in appearance, stylish
ly gowned, and the groom was
neatly dressed in a becoming suit
of black. They made a very nice
looking couple. Those who wit
nessed the ceremony were the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Ennis, Prothonotary Terwilliger,
Freeze Quick and H. Mont Smith.
Assault and Battery
John Hummel of Espy was the
defendant in an assault and battery
case, before Squire Jacoby yester
day morning. The charge was
preferred by J. E. Sweigart, also
of Espy. It appears that Hummel
and Sweigart are related by marri
age. The latter has been drink
ing heavily of late, and his child
ren have grown afraid of him.
Hummel went to the house Mon
day night to take the children
away, Sweigart objected, and
during an altercation that followed
he was struck several times on the
head. The case was settled by the
defendant restoring the children
and paying the costs. Sweigart, it
js claimed is morally unfit to have
charge of the children and an appli
cation will be made to the Court to
have them taken away from them.

job press, with fountain, throw-off,
and steam fixtures all complete,
was received at this office on Mon
day. The first job was done with

tuted before Squire Jacoby, against

. To Enforce Tobacco Law.
Deputy revenue collectors, have
been notified to rigid'y enforce the
law prohibiting the sale of plug tobac
co from any but stamped boxes after
November 1st. The penalty is two
years' imprisonment and $200 fine.
The law is aimed at the retailers, who
take plug tobacco out of the boxes
upon which the proper government
stamp has been placed and put it in
display cases. The law requires that
plug tobacco shall be kept in the
stamped box until it is sold to a cus
tomer. This is done to prevent deal
ers from selling tobacco upon - which
the tax has not been paid. The or
der will aftect all small dealers as it is
usually their custom to take the goods
from the boxes, cut into five and ten
cent plugs and put in display cases.

Night Air is Sot Injurious
One of the bugbears of old time
people is night air, and there is very
little exaggeration in saying that the
superstition against night air has kil
led more people than the free circula
tion of it has ever injured. There is
an abundance of proof that night air
is injurious to no one. On the con
trary, people who sleep outdoors under
the mere protection of a tent are the
healthiest of all people, and the prac
tice has largely gained in popularity
of late years, under wider knowledge
of hygiene, for people of delicate
health to go in camping parties and
breath the balsam of night air.
Shade Trees are Protected.
The right of a borough over trees
standing within the street lines has
been decided in Lycoming county.
In Picture Rocks an old church build
ing is being moved,- and it became
necessary to cut down certain shade
trees in order to move the building
through the streets. The borough
granted the contractors the right to
cut the trees. The parties in front of
whose property stood the trees in
question asked for an injunction ; re
straining the borough from cutting the
trees. A temporary injunction was
granted, and upon argument this in
junction was made permanent. This
makes it pretty plain that a borough
cannot cut and slash shade trees at
their own sweet will.
