WILL PAVE
CENTER STREET
Th
Is Decision Was Arrived at
by the Council Friday
Evening.
No Action on Sewer.
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

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 .
I he Highway Committee was in
structed to inspect the streets trav
eled by C. & M. Llectric Railway
Co. and to nuke report to council.
The secretary was instructed to
nottty the Danville ec Bloomsburg

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.
Black
Suits
Black always good taste,
appropriate on all occasions,
becoming to everybody.
Even if you don't dress in
black regularly, it's a relief
from the colored Suit to have
a black one. or a Black Coat
to wear with striped Trous
ers. We have Black Suits in
vSerges, Cheviots and Thibet.
Fast Colors
All of Tliem
Perfectly tailored in correct styles. Have a care in
selecting a Black Suit, for blacks are risky.
Some blacks fade and "crock."
You'll Take No Risk
If you come here, for it's always "Money back, should
anything go wrong."
But nothing will go wrong.
