EMPLOYS 150 HANDS. luai uioomsourg is to uave a new industry seems settled almost beyond a doubt. On Friday even ing last a meeting called by the Chamber of Commerce was held in the Midway for the pnrposeof con sidering the proposition of F. A Fear & Co. to remove their match factory from Garfield, N. I. to Bloonisburg. The meeting was well attended, and Mr. Fear was present and stited his proposition. lie offers to buy outright and pay cash for one of Bloomsburg's idle industries ana ail ne asks is that the people of Bloomsburg will subscribe $5,000 to cover the cost of the removal of the plant to Bloomsburg. He does not ask that this money be paid now, but made the proposition that not until the plant is in operation shall the money be paid, the plant to be capitalized at $100,000, and the subscribers to have stock to the amount of $5,000, upon which div idends will be paid. Should the company by any chance sell out to a trust then the money advanced by the people of Bloomsburg is to be refunded. The meeting was called to order by C. C Yetter, President of the Chamber of Commerce, who stated the object of the meeting. After heariug Mr. Fear, remarks were made by C. W. Miller, and others. A report was read from F. J. Richard, who has visited the plant, and was very favorably impressed with it. A subscription list was started, and numerously signed, about $1250 being promised on the spot omce men nearly tne entire sum of $5000 has been subscribed, and there is very little doubt that the match factory will come here.

The death of this estimable lady occurred at the Wilkes-Barre Hos pital last Thursday morning, after a surgical operation from which she did not rally. She had been suf fering for some time from what was feared to be a cancerous growth, and her medical advisers decided that a surgical operation was nec essary, and she was taken to the hospital, resulting as above stated. Mrs. Campbell was the wile of former Register and Recorder Charles H. Campbell, who is now Deputy County Treasurer. She was the daughter of Daniel and Su san Rambach, and was born in Newport township, Luzerne coun ty, in 1847. In 1864 she moved to Briarcreek with her parents, and on January 31, 1865, she was mar ried to Mr. Campbell. Their married life was spent at Shickshinny, White Haven, Briar creek, and from 1880 to 1901, they resided in Bloomsburg. In 1901 they retuened to Briarcreek where they resided until Mrs. Campbell's death. She was an excellent Christian woman, and an earnest member of the Presbyterian church. It has been the custom for some years past for the members of the Women's Missionary Society of that church of Bloomsburg to go up to Mrs. Campbell's annually, and spend a day, and it was always a delightful occasion. She had hosts of friends who mourn her loss. She is survived by her husband. and by a niece, Miss F'thel Enke, who resides at the Campbell homestead. The funeral was held Saturday, and was very largely attended, attest ing the esteem and affection which was entertained for her. There were many beautiful floral tributes, one of them being from the officials in the court house. The services were conducted by Rev. Dr. Hem ingway, of Bloomsburg, and Rev. Dr. Loux, of Berwick. Two se lections were sung by Messrs. H. S. Barton, A. N. Yost, E. H. Ent and O. H. Yetter. The remains were laid to rest in Piue Grove cemetery at Berwick. Rev. I. B. Crist has resigned as pastor of the Benton Presbyterian Church, and goue to New Jersey. The cause of his resignation is ill health.
