The call for a meeting to discuss
the advisability of changing our
form of municipal government is a
move in the right direction.
Whether to change our charter so
that we will come under the general
borough law, or remain as the
Town of Bloomsburg with some
modifications of the charter are
matters to be considered. A change
in the matter of electing council
men so that two will be elected each
year, instead ot electing an entire
council every year, is certainly de
sirable, and it- is also a question
whether we have not given the
cumulative system of voting a suf
ficient trial to show that we do not
want it any longer. When a meet
ing is called there should be a large
attendance.

PROF. J. HARRIS 0TJRRA.N.
Many people in Bloomsburg have
very pleasant recollections of Hal.
Curran, son of Prof. II. A. Curran
formerly of the Normal School.
He was known here as a bright
young man, of sterling character,
and had many friends. The news
of his death w is received here oil
Wednesday with deep sorrow. The
particulars of his demise are con
tained in the following dispatch
rom Carlisle:
Prof. James H. Curran, of the
Tome Institute, Port Deposit, Md.,
died at that place Tuesday morning
afier an illness from typhoid tever
He was a brother of Mrs. Prof
M- rgan aud a graduate of Dickin
son, and has many mends 111 car
isle. He was nbout 33 years cf
nee. with a brizht tuture ueioie
him. and his untimely death will
be greatly regretted.
Prof. James Harris Curran was
born October fifteenth, 1872, at
Wriirhtsville, Pa. He was a son of
Prof. Hueh A. Curran. He pre
pared for college at Bloomsburg
Normal, and entered Dickinson in
1802, and graduated 111 iSg.t., and
from the law school in 1806. He
tudied in Germany and then be
came a teacher 111 Hackettstown
seminary, and in 1900 became pro
fessor of economics and mathemat
ics in Tome Institute.
Funeral services were held at
Port Deposit Wednesday. Further
services were held at Carlisle today
where interment was made.
U THE COLLISION
Dr. II. Bierman was a passenger
011 the train that collided with a
freight at Huuluck's Creek last
week Wednesday. When the crash
came lie was wedged between the
seats, and his hat flew half the
length of the car. He was shocked
and bruised, but soon got out and
helped tne wounded as well as he
could with nothing to work with.
He had to improvise splints aud
bandages as best he could.
He says that these things should
be provided in each car as well as
the case of tools now there. If
people are wedged in a wreck so
that it is necessary to use axes and
saws to get them out, they are like
ly to need surgical appliances after
they get out. Dr. Bierman dressed
many wounds before any other
physician arrved.
Speaking of the suggestion that
Snyder, the freight engineer who
caused the wreck by not taking the
siding, may have died before he
reached the siding, Dr. Bierman
says that Snyder was still breath
itig when he reached him.
Rev. D. N. Kirkby and son Kent,
of Newark and Miss Jean Andrews
of Bloomsburg were among the
passengers.
PROPOSED UHANULS IN COURT
nousE
A petition has been circulated
among members of the bar, asking
the court to make an order provid
ing for certain changes in the inter
ior of the Court House. Nothing
is asked for that will involve any
expensive alterations in the build
ing, but merely a change in the use
of rooms for certain purposes so
that the arrangement will be haud
ier for the court and the public
The law library is entirely too
small and the petitiou asks that the
present gtand jury room be taken
for this purpose, and the grand
jury be given the traverse jury
rcom on the third floor, and the
latter take the law library which is
close to the jury box. A railing is
asked for in front of the grand jury
box, and an order is wanted re
serving the space around the bench
for the exclusive us of the bar.
Judges Fox and Krickbaum will
meet with some of the lawyers on
Friday afternoon, and discuss the
propriety of making these changes.

Witt is the skillful teacher and as !
the flowers grow under the girl's ;
busy fingers, words are spoken '

ture to grow. The girls are full of !
interest in their work and we ex

helpful and practical classes meets,

W&8THE ENGINEER DEAD?
Many of the Delaware, L'icka
wanna & Western Railroaders be
lieved that Engineer Chas. Snyder
who was responsible for the wreck
last Wednesday, in which six per
sons weie killed, was dead when
the wreck occurred and that he died
of heart disease some minutes be
fore.
They say he had worked on the
road many years; that he knew the
running of trains perfectly; that he
always had been accustomed to lie
r.t the Hunlock's swi.ch for Mie
passenger train to pass, and that it
was impossible to account for any
posMblo negligence or thoughtless
ness. Many ar convinced that he died
or was overcome by heart disease
before the siding was reached.
