Memorial day, full of signifi cance, ot tenuer ana sacred memor ies, a day set aside to honor and pray for those who saved the na tion's life, was fittingly observed in Bloomsbur. In the two ceme teries ot town, as well as in those at Light Street, Almcdia and Or angeville, the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, no.v hoary headed and tremulous with e, untuned again their tattered flags, fired volleys and sounded another day reveille. Participating in these solemn and most impressive ceremonies, were not only the grizzled veterans of '61, but also their youthful co- patriots of the war with Spain, and other recent foreign wars. The observance of Memorial day, the most precious of national annivers aries, seems to be coming more general each year. 1 he day was originally intended for the decora tion of the graves of those who took part and participated in that great struggle for freedom and na tional liberty. Now it is more widely observed, and few of the little mounds beneath which lie the mortal remains of those who have passed from earth, were not strewn with some token, however humble, of some loved one. The day was a beautiful one. Clouds overspread the sky for a little while in the morning, but they rolled away before the day was far advanced and the sun shone brightly, though not too warm for comfort There was a universal compliance with the spirit of the day on the part of our townspeople. All the stores and business places were closed at noon, and many of the dwellings and buildings were decorated with the national colors, while the stars and strmes were everywhere in evidence. The parade formed on Market Square at half past one o'clock, and was headed by the members of I'.r.t Post, G. A. R. Then came the Buckhoru Band. Sons of Vet erans, Spanish American War Vet erans and the local hie department. Alter passing over tne route as given in. these columns last week, the procession moved to Rosemont Cemetery where prayer was offered by Rev. W. P. Ivvehmd. W. C Johnston K-q. , read President Lincoln's address at Gettysburg, and the Sons of Veterans conduct ed memorial exercises. After the graves had been decorated Rev. Dr. lvveland pronounced the bene diction. At the Court House in the even ing, Jas. C. Brown, delivered an oration on "Patriotism." Geo. W. Sterner gave a recitation "The Countersign is Mary." Miss Mary Correll and Miss Thursa Drake re cited and a quartette rendered sev eral pleasing selections. Short ad dresses were also made by W. O. Holmes and W. C. Johnston Iisq. A large audience was present, and the service was beautiful and impressive. At A. D. Shuman met with a pain ful accident at the J. M. Heddeus meat market yesterday morning. He was preparing meat for bologna when his right hand was caught in the grinder, tearing the nails off of the second and third fiDgers. ' a special meeting 01 tne iowu Council held Tuesday evening, h was decided to accept the proposi tion made to Council at the prev ious meeting by J. R. Fowler and II. J. Clark, touching the matter of paving Center Street from Main or Second Street, to the south side of the alley adjoining the Fowler i and Clark properties. . When the matter was taken up, Mr. Magee reiterated his opposition to the movement as expressed at the previous meeting, on the ground that he could see no reason for it at this time. The street, he said, was in good repair, and to tear it up now, and spend the money which could bj used to much better ad vantage in the construction ot a sewer, would not be acting fair with the tax payers. And beside, he said, he had called upon Mr. Townsend, who informed him that he would not agree to bear one cent of the expense until he came into full possession of his building, now occupied by B. A. Gidding. At this juncture in the proceed ings, c. w. .Miner, nsq., appeareu and presented a proposition from R. howler, in which he ottered, providing the paving be done, to deposit a certified check covering Mr. Townsend s snare ot the ex- i i r f r T pense, ana a cnecK ironi ii. j. Clark, covering the town s snare, at the rate of four per cent, it to be deducted from the taxes of the properties abutting on said Center Street. Mr. Giger moved that the pro position be accepted and that the street be paved, Mr. Deily second ed the motion. Mr. Magee moved, seconded by Mr. Runyon, that only the tax from the II . J. Clark property be applied to the town's share of the paving. Both motions were put to a vote and carried. The sewer matter was taken up and the following, received from the Land Improvement Co., was read : "We will release and donate our claim against the Town of Blooms burg amounting to about 2,ooo nnd ;ilso a corner lot on the south side of Fifth street opposite the Rattt Hospital valued at SS25: pro vided the said town will agree to accept Locust and Spruce streets, and will also agree to construct a sewer of sufficient depth and capac ity so as to drain all our lots on Fifth street at least as far as Locust street. And if the town will also put th-' sewer down to depth that will sewer our lots on Sixth street when the same shall be constructed, we will agree to donate another lot on the south side of Fifth street ad joining the first mentioned lot, val ued at $750. Signed, Land Improvement Co. N. U. Funk, Secretary. This proposition precipitated a lively discussion, after which the matter was carried over until an other meeting. The tax rate was the next mat ter taken up, and after tne proposed improvements were talked over, it was decided to rescind the former action of Council in fixing the rate at nine mills on built up, five mills on suburbau and four on farm prop erty, and make it the same as it was last year, which was ten, six THE WHEELER SK.I.K 1'ITTINO SCREEN SASH IS CiUAUANTMKI) TO UK I l.V I'KOOI'.

It was decided to notity the 11. & S. R. R. Co. to repair its cross ing at Main street, within five days or same would be done by the town with the usual additional cost im posed .

The secretary was instructed to nottty the Danville ec Bloomsburg Street Railway Co. to rtmove the tie;-- tint are strewn along West Filth Street. In the discussion of the matter of permitting hawking and peddling on the streets, Mr. Magee said that it was a detriment and a hurt to the town merchants who pay their taxes, and he thought that these fellows who came in without any license and gather in the trade whic.i rightfully belongs to the lo cal dealers, should be suppressed. Solicitor Herring said it was a ques tion whether the Town could stop the practice. The Council he said could impose a license and make the amount as high as they pleased. He informed council that he would look into the matter and report at the next meeting. THE BISHOP'S VISIT Rt. Rev. Tames II. Darlington D. D. Bishop of the Diocese of Hnrrisbnrtr. arrived in town last Saturdav afternoon and became the tni.wr of Rev. R. S. Nichols and his mother at the Episcopal Rectory Tn t hr i-venincr he addressed the Girls Friendly Society in the Par ish House. On Sunday morning at t.o he administered the Holy 1 w 1 Communion and at 10:30 preached in the church. At V..KO he address ed the Sunday School, and preach ed again at 5 o'clock. He and the rector went to Berwick at 6:20 and the Bishop preached in Christ Church, returning by trolley after ward, thus making his first day in Sr. Paul's Parish rather a stren nous one. On Monday Mrs. Darlington joined the Bishop and remained un til Wednesday afternoon, when they went to Williamsport. liwhmi Darlington is a man of fine appearance and captivated all who met him. His sermons were excellent, not of the dry theolog ical sort, but full of interest ana in struction. He is capable of moving his hearers to tears or laughter at his will. The Diocese of Harris burg is very fortunate in having secured such a man for its chief pastor. The Bishop has purchased the J. V. Brown property in Williamsport and will live there in the summer and in Harrisburg during the win ter. A house in the latter city is being put in proper condition tor his occupancy.
