William Bogert of Espy, an
nounces this week as a candidate
for county commissioner. The past
three years has probably been the
most important term, and the hard
est to fill satisfactorily, of any in
the history of the county. It has
been necessary to meet questions of
great weight, and to raise large
sums of money. Mr. Bogert has
performed his duties with good
judgment. He is possessed of a
cool head, a great thing in public
office, and of business sagacity and
experience that has enabled him to
meet the many unusual situations
in an intelligent manner. He is
asking the usual favor of a secoud
term, and as he has made a good
official for the past three years, he
feels that the nomination will be ac
corded him at the primary election
m June.

Another fire of supposed incendi
arv origin occured at Newlin, Tues
day morning, and as the result of
which the Newlin band building
in which was also held the Locust
township high school, was entirely
destroyed. The fire was first dis
covered by John Liudermuth, at 2
o'clock in the morning. He quickly
sounded the alarm and aroused the
neighborhood, and a bucket
brigade w a s hurriedly formed
Efforts to save the building were
iutile, but much of the school equip
ment, and supplies were saved.
Evidence of incendiarism is furn
ished i n the fact that the door
which had been securely locked the
night before, was found to have
been pried open. This is simply
another of the appalling list of fires
which have filled the hearts of the
people in that section with dismay.
The school was in charge of Kim
ber Knorr, son of Sheriff Daniel
Knoor.

MEW MANAGER HERE.
Elwood Mateer, who will suc
ceed John P. Conway as local
manager for the Bell Telephone
Company, arrived in town from
Lebanon on Monday. He will
familiarize himself with the work
ings ot the office, and take up his
duties on the 20th of this month.
Mr. Conway w'ill leave for Scran
ton, his new field of lalior on Mon
day, and will carry with him the
well wishes of a legion of friends,
who have learned to know and ad
mire him during his'few years' resi
dence here. Mr. Conway has every
reason to feel proud of the success
with which ae has met in Blooms
burg. He took hold of the busi
ness, just at a time when the Col
umbia & Montour, now the United
Telephone Co. , invaded this terri
tory, and in spita of the aggressive
competition, succeeded by a con
scientious devotion to duty, in more
than tripling the list of subscribers.
Notwithstanding this tremendous
increase of business, aud the inci
dent installation of hundreds of
phones, and changing of wires, the
service at all times has been first
class.
Mr. Conway has been an active
worker in St. Columba's Church,
and has for some time past directed
the choir.
Will Conway, a brother, who
has been here for a year or more
tilling the position of inspector, will
also go to Scrantou. He will not
leave however, until about the first
of June.
Aa Unfortunate Man-
Phineas Thomas, of Bear Gap,
was in town on Saturday. We
have known him tor many years,
as he has been a reader of The Col
umbian since Col. Tate's time. It
was a painful surprise to find that
he was compelled to walk on his
knees, because of the loss of his
right leg below the knee. This
was the result of an injury from
which gangrene set in, and his limb
was amputated to save his life. Mr.
Thomas is a large man, weighing
nearly 250 pounds, and he is not a
ble to sustain his weight on crutch
es, owing to an injury to his back,
and is therefore obliged t o get a-
round as best he can, on his knees
He has many friends here who are
pained to learn of his unfortunate
condition.
Boad Case Settled-
The long standing Friends' Meet
mg House road case, which accord
ing to the petition is to start from a
point near the home of A. P. oung
in Greenwood township and ter
minate at Millville near the Friends'
Meeting House, is at last settled
This case, which has occasioned
the appointment of viewers and re
viewers, had its beginning when
Judge Elwell was on the bench,
aud has occupied the attention of
various courts through all the thirty
years that have intervened. After
a re-re-review had been granted the
Court confirmed absolute the re
port of the viewers. An appeal
was taken to the Superior Court,
which on Tuesday afhimed the de
cisionofthe lower court, and all
that now remains to be done is to
build the road.
