STILL A BACHELOR.
The following is taken from a
Newark, N. J. paper:
"Kcv. Roland Stuart Nichols,
rector of St. John's Episcopal
Church, is still a bachelor, although
he snilcJ for Europe in April to be
man led to-Mi:;s Mary Hitchcock,
of Morrislown. Mr. Nichols r.nd
Miss Hitchcock returned on the
same steamer two weeks ago, and
it was generally believed that the
wedding had taken place. Why it
did not is a story. Mr. Nichols ex
plained this morning that the rea
son the intended marriage had been
delayed was because of K g.d com
plication in luii ope.
In the o d country the rules sur
rounding marriage ceremonies are
much more severe than in the
United States, the matter being a
civic rather than an ecclesiastical
affair, he said. The banns are pub
lished not so much in the churches
as in the city or town. These com
plications had never occuired to
him before he arrived, he added,
but he soon discovered them. In
Switzerland the law required that
both the man and woman be resi
dents of the place over three months
before the marriage, and in Ger
many the laws were even more ex
acting, he said.
Mrs. Eleanor Nichols, mother of
the rector, who made the trip over
with him, is still in Switzerland,
and expects to renniri for some
time. She wrote to friends in New
ark asking them to "give them a
hearty welcome." This led to the
belief that the two had been mar
ried, inasmuch as all Mr. NicholV
parishioners understood that ha
went over for that purpose. He ar
rived home Sunday, June jd, and
came to Newark the following
Tuesday. lie preached for the first
time last Sunday. As everybody
had expected to see his bride, they
were disappointed to find him alone.
He has been more or less busy ever
siuce refusing congratulations and
explaining that he is still unmar
ried, However, he expects to be
come a beucdict before very long."
Mr. Nichols was the rector of St.
Paul's Church, of this town, for
two years, leaving here in April
1906.
Meat Market Threatened by "Fire.
The meat market of Frank Bom
boy on Main Street was threatened
last Thursday evening, when an
incipient blaze made things lively
for a short time, but immediate
activity on the part of Mr. Bom
boy and his son Paul prevented any
damage. The fire started from
spontaneous combustion in some
excelsior saturated with an iuflama
ble solution, which had been used
by painters in the remodelling of
the store.

JUMBO WILL BE THERE.
Billmeyor't Big Elk to Go (0 Philadelphia
Next Week.
The Danville Morning News of
yesterday says:
Jumbo, the famous old elk at
Billmeyer's park, which has sever
al times undergone the operation of
dehorning, will in all probability
add to his varied experience by
taking a trip to Philadelphia to at
tend the Elks' Reunion, which will
be held at that place next week.
There is nothing invidious in the
comparison to affirm that he will be
the biggest elk of them all.
For several days past the pub
lishers of the North American of
Philadelphia have been negotiating
with Mr. Billmeyer for the use of
one of his elks during the reunion
of the Elks. To learn something
about the status of the proceedings,
Mr. Billmeyer was called up yes
terday by 'phone. He said that he
had been approached by persons
acting in the interest of the North
American, who wanted to know if
the elk could be procured to be ex
hibited as a feature during the
week that the Elks will own the
city.
Mr. Billmeyer stated that he had
given a favorable reply. To crate
the big animal may prove a task
mor: or less difficult, but he was
not prepared to say that it would
not be feasible. If one of the elks
went to the convention, Mr. Bill
meyer was inclined to think that
the honor would fall to Jumbo,
which is a most interesting speci
men of his kind, weighing eleven
hundred pounds.
Whatever Jumbo's reputation for
ferocity may he at certain seasons,
he is amiable enough just at this
tune and it will not be until some
three or four weeks later that he
will begin to show signs of ill tem
per. Although he was deprived of
his antlers last season he has grown
a new set quite majestic in their
proportions, towering nearly hve
feet above bis head.
Whiting Allen, a representative
of the North American, was in this
city yesterday afternoon on his way
to Billmeyer's park to perfect pla.ns
for shipping the elk to Philadel
phia. Mr. Allen stated that the
Pennsylvania railroad company has
agreed to transport the elk and to
get lnm to the city within twenty
four hours after he is placed on the
car.
The plan that Mr. Allen has in
view is to use a platform car, con
fining the elk in a crate, which will
enclose his body only, leaving his
gigantic antlers protruding above
the top. In tins way the horns
will be free and not in danger of
being injured no matter how much
the animal may throw his bead
about. Outside of the crate, around
the edges of the car, it is proposed
to erect a superstructure of some
sort to screen the elk from the
weather and the flying dust.
The elk will be placed on the 2 1st
story of the North American build
ing, where no doubt he will be
viewed by many thousand persons
during the week. On the day of
the parade he will travel with the
Elks through the city. 1 he mem-
' ber from Billmeyer's park, howev
.' er, will not trudge along on foot,
as many may imagine, but will be
drawn by horses in a specially tie
signed truck.

MORE ENGINES THAN CARS.
The general manager of the P.
R. R. reports that 4099 locomo
tives were in service last year on
the lines east of Pittsburg, and that
only 3147 passenger cars were used
on the same lines. He says that
the most important problem of
equipment is repairs, and that it
required 206,606 new wheels; 21,
843 new steel axles, and 6638 new
steel tires to keep the rolling stock
in good order.
There was a fine market this
morning, with about twenty wagons
at the curb. Notwithstanding the
prediction as to the scarcity of
cherries there was an abundance of
them, selling at 10 cents a box, and
two for 25 cents ; according to
quality. Two wagons still had
strawberries of fair quality at 15
ceuts. The first of black raspberries
made' their appearance at 2 boxes
for a quarter. Vegetables in great
variety and of fine quality were all
along the line, and were well pat
HELL DISCOVERED.
A Washington clergyman has
found out where Mephistopheles
holds his court. This is interesting
news. He says that hell is in the
sun, because it meets all the re
quirements laid down in the Bible.
We are glad to hear that it is so
far olT. For the past week or so
we have been led to suspect that it
was much nearer.
The Rev. Zeb Hetzel Copp, as
sistant pastor of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church, is
the discoverer. In part, he says :
"It is impossible for hell to be
located in the interior of the earth,
whete popular belief has fixed it
for so long. I suppose the popular
impression as to its location in the
interior of the earth was created by
the words of the creed. 'He des
cended into hell,' and the words
describing the fall of Lucifer after
his fight with Michael. But the
earth is not the place to find hell.
Its materials are all combustible.
Were there fire within it it could
not he everlasting, because some
day it would be consumed. There
is nothing to indicate that such a
fire exists in the interior."
DEATH FROM PNEUMONIA.
Morton I. Heim, the promising
six-year-old sou ot Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Heim, of Danville, died on
Sunday. morning.
About five weeks ago he was
seized with an attack of tonsilitis,
from which he seemingly recovered.
The disease, however, left him in a
very weak condition, which made
him an easy prey to pneumonia,
which developed Saturday and soon
ran its course.
Morton was the only child of Mr.
and Mrs. Heim. He was a very
bright and lovable boy, and the
grief stricken parents have the
sympathy of the community.
His mother is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Gross, of
liioomsourg. ihe funeral was
largely attended on Tuesday.
Will Increase the Premiums.
Appropriation by the Stale Maket It Possi
ble to Increase Premiums.
At a meeting of the executive
committee of the Columbia County
Agricultural Society held Saturday
the premiums on graded live stock
were materially raised.
This was made possible by the
appropriation by the State of $500
to each county for fair association
purposes, the act providing the
amount to be expended solely on
county exhibits. For this reason
the greater part of the appropria
tion will go to the graded live stock
department which is limited to
county exhibitors.
