So much opposition has devel

of M. tS. Quay at Ilarrisburg, that
the project may not be carried out.

$20,000 for this purpose, but pro

are coming to Governor Penuypack
er that lie may not ask the com
mission appointed by him, to pro

repealed.

The Philadelphia Press compli
ments the Democratic press of the
state as follows:
"The Democratic newspapers of
the state very generally arc to be
credited with a large amount of
gond sense for not having treated
the election of William H. Berry
as a Democratic victory. They
know that it is not in any degree
to be construed as a partisan tri
umph, and almost every Democrat
ic paper in the state has had the in
telligence uicl frankness to say so.
That party had the advantage of a
good candidate and an aroused Re
publican resentment of the system
which had grown up under boss
control of the Organization. It re
quired about as many Republican as
it did Democratic votes to win the
victory, which belongs to the con
scientious and public spirited peo
ple of the Commonwealth and not
to any party."
A COSTLY WRECK.
It is estimated that the recent
wreck on the Lackawanna at Hun
lock's Creek, cost the railroad com
pany at least $50,000 in equipment
alone.
With the settlements already
made with some of those who were
hurt and the probable damage suits
of others, beciuse of injuries or
death, the disaster will be an ex
ceedingly costly one.
The equipment totally destroyed
was two engines with their coal
tenders, an express car and baggage
car. One end of the smoking car
was torn away, its interior badly
smashed. The remaining coach is
also in bad condition inside. The
whole pile of twisted iron and brok
en wood will, it is expected, bring
about $1,000 an junk, thus an idea
of the expensiveness of a wreck can
be conjectured.
To Die at Dawn.
Miss Blanche Ilazeltou comes to
Bloomsburg. Pa., next Tuesday,
Nov. 28. 1905 in her new play "To
Die At Dawn" which is said to be
by all odds, the best vehicle in
which she has yet appeared.
It is from the pen of F,. Laurence
Lee, who on being commissioned
to write the play, set about lookine
for material from which to con
struct it, and like other playrights
he cast his eye Kentucky-wards, and
after spending several weeks in and
around Hardin County, that State,
111 which is located the famous
Mammoth Cave, there found the
theme for the olav.
Constructed along original lines,
with its vein ot comedy, mingled
with just enough pathos, a maeni-
ncent scenic equipment, the star
supported by an excellent company,
witu tue entire production under
the personal direction of the author
10 Die at Dawn was an instan
taneous success and will undoubt
edlypack the Grand Opera House
next luesoay jnov. 28.

Deer Killed at (Jrangeviiles
Curry Montgomery of Oranrre.
ville on Tuesday shot a fine buck
on Nob Mountain, about half a mile
from Orangeville. He was out gun
ning for birds and had a shot gun,
when he first spied the deer. Drop
ping his gun he went down to the
village and procured a rifle, and on
his return found the deer very near
where he left it, and killed it the
first shot.
Where the animal came from is
a question hard to solve, With
bears on the Catawissa hill, and
stags roving at large on the Nob
Mountain, we are getting back to
the days of the pr.itne'val forests.

Lectures in a Coll
Talent, a magazine of the lyceum,
tells the following story of Mr,
Fdvvard A. Ott, lecturer on "The
Hauntrd House" and "Sour
Grapes":- next lecture course num
ber in Bloomsburg, on December
5th.
"A very ludicrous incident oc
curred on one of the Western
courses last winter which appeals
the more ludicrous when you re
member that one of the hobbies of
Dr. Ott is the 'eternal fitness of
things,' especially in artistic sur
roundings for an entertainment or
lecture.
"It seems that the lecturer who
was to precede Dr. Ott on the
course had not arrived. The com
mittee was indignant, as usual, and
had scarcely become good-natured
for the next number.
"However, they did their best,
and put on the finest piece of scen
ery the opera .house afforded, which
happened to be a prison cell used
in a previous amateur performance.
When the lecturer, therefore, was
usheVed on to the platform, he was
snocked enough to note his sur
roundings, and after the committee
man introduced him to the audience
by saying that 'this time they were
to have the lecture sure,' he ex
pressed his appreciation of the sit
uation by saying he thought it all
right for a disappointed committee
to make sure of a lecture, but he
didn't see any necessity for provid
ing to keep the man in town after
the lecture was over
"He probably, however, felt just
as well as he did the month before
when lecturing in a town where
the background of the stage was a
landscape scene with a country road
leading directly from the stage off
behind tue hills. In one instance
there was no escape the iron doors
and windows prevented it; in the
other case there was a country road
leading directly to the woods. The
lecturer, however, has never been
compelled t: take to the woods,
and prefers the prison cell to the
country road."
(Jhurch Club's Fall Meeting-
The Church Club of Central
Pennsylvania, composed of laymen
in the Kpiscopal !ioceses of Ilarris
tnirg and Central Pennsylvania,
held its Fall meeting and banquet
at the Allen House, Allentown, last
Thursday night.
The president, Colonel Charles
M. Clement, of Sunbury, presided
at the meeting which was opened
with prayer by Bishop Darlington,
of Ilarrisburg. The report of the
treasurer, Frank C. Angle of Dan
ville, showed an excellent financial
condition. Ten new members were
elected, the membership now being
210, with Bishops Darlington and
Talbot as honorary members. Suit
able action was taken upon the
death of the late Andrew L. Fille
brown, of Sunbury.
The following were elected dele
gates to the next annual conference
of Church Clubs in the United
States, to be held in Rochester, N.
Y., in April, 1906:
James M. Lamberton, Ksq., of
Ilarrisburg, the vice president of
the National conference, and O.
C. Foster, of West Pittston; T. S.
Hamilton, Shamokin, and j. P.
Jones, of Pottsville.
After grace had been said by
Rev. R. II Kline, rector of Grace
church, Allentown, dinuer was
served to about sixty members and
their guests. After dinner. Presi
dent Clement introduced George R.
Booth, of Bethlehem, as ruler of
the feast, who called for the ad
dress ot welcome from Lawrence II
Rupp, of the Allentown bar. Rob

The Missionary Thank Offering of
1907; Hon. Asa Bird Gardiner, of
New York, on The American
Church Militant, and Bishop Tal
bot, of Central Pennsylvania, upon
The Church Club as a Diocesan
Auxiliary. It was after midnight
that, after singing the doxology,
Bishop Talbot gave the blessing.
THANKSGIVING
It hardly seems necessary after
all these years to remind the good
people of Bloomsburg that the
Uniou Benevolent Society depends
almost entirely upon the Thanks
pivintr offerinc for its funds to heln
n o ra r
the needy and carry on its benevo
lent work tor the winter: and yet
people do forget, and so we take
this way to remind them that a
good liberal donation is desired
this year. Money can be given at
the church service on Thanksgiving
day or sen to the Treasurer, Mrs.
M. C. Walker, any time betwsen
now and Christmas or at any time
thereafter. Donatious of food of
any kind or of clothing if in toler
able condition also thankfully re
ceived. Mrs. M. C. Valkkk,
Committee.
