MR. ELWELL'S CARD.
Without suggestion or solicita
tion on my part, I have been noini
nated for the office of School Di
rec'or for the term of three years,
in Bloom School District.
As there are two directors to be
elected for three years, each voter
has two votes, lie can cast them
both for one person, or can give one
to eacn of two.
raving been named for the office,
it is quite natural that I do not want
to be dcleated. I have been a resi
dent of Bloonisburg since my boy
hood, and have always been inter
ested in educational matters. Three
years I spent teaching school, part
of the time as a member of the Fac
ulty of the Normal School, and for
twenty years I was a trustee of that
institution, most of the time a mem
ber of the committee having in
charge the employment of teachers.
The office of School Director is,
or at least should be a non-partisan
one. It would be so, so far as I
am concerned, should I be elected.
In case my fellow citizens see fit
to call me to this important office, I
shall devote to it my best efforts,
backed by an educational and busi
ness experience of more than thirty-
five years.
Respectfully,
GKO. E. KLWELL.
BAD DAY FOR SLEDDING.
Tuesday seemed to have been an
unlucky day for those who were
out coasting, for accidents were
numerous.
On the Iron Street Hill James
Witts, Jr., farctured his right leg
below the knee.
Cordean, the five-years-old son
of B. C. Severance, of Light Street
road, suffered a fracture of the
right leg above the knee while
coasting dowu a private road enter
ing Light Street road from proper
ty of J. E. Roys, when the sled
upon which he and his elder broth
er were coasting, was strucK oy a
bob-sled, laden w"th boys, that was
coming dowu Light Street road at
rapid speed.
Five boys who were coasting
down the hill from the High School
to Main Street, in Catawissa, in the
evening, were blinded by an arc
light and failed to tniss a team
ahead of them. The resulting crash
laid all of them up, aud one of
them, Steven Rhawn, broke his leg.

A RAILROAD RUMOR.
The D. L. & W. is Trying to get to
Williamsport.
The Williamsport Gazette and
Bulletin says: That the Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western railroad
trains to Williamsport in the near
future is a probability, if a press
dispatch sent out from Scranton is
aased upon truth. 1 be story trom
the Lackawanna county town gives
additional information regarding
the article published in last Mon
day morning's Gazette and Bulle
tin to the effect that the D. L. &
W. railroad had arranged to cross
the Pennsylvania at Northumber
land would build a bridge across
the West Branch of the Susque
hanna river aud would connect
with the Reading railroad at Win
field. The telegram from Scranton
further states that the counection
with the Reading will give the D.
L. & W. a route to Philadelphia
in return for which the Reading is
to be accorded the use of the D. L.
& W. lines to Scranton. If such
an arrangement is consummated, it
is quite likely that the D. L & W.
Deonle will also run their trains
north from Wiufield to this city
and Newberry Junction. When
the story became known here last
night considerable conjecture was
occasioned as to whether the alleg
ed agreement between the Reading
and the D. L. & W. did not mean
that the latter road would Gijure
eventually in the short freight route
via the New York Central, Read
ing and other roads between Chi
cago and New York. The Scran
ton story follows: "By lease ar
rangements made a few days ago,
with the Pennsylvania Company,
the Lackawanna is now about to
establish a connection with the
Philadelphia & Reading at Win
field, five miles north of Northum
berland, for a direct route to Phil
adelphia for Lackawanna freight
traffic especially. In turu the
Reading will have access to Scran
ton. The details, which have been
completed, call for the building of
a ten-span bridge across the Sus
quehanua for entrance to Winfield.
Work on the extension will be
started as soon as weather moder
ates." MRS. ELIZABETH WILLIAMS.
Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, the
oldest woman in Bloomsburg, died
Ironi cancer at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Jacob Baukus, on
Catherine Street, Monday morning
at five o'clock, at the age of ninety-six
years.
She is survived by four daugh
ters, Mrs. Michael Powers, of Fish
kill, N. Y.;Mrs. Daniel Singley,
of Forty Fort, Pa.; Mrs. George
Herring, of Shenandoah; and Mrs.
Jacob Bank us, of Bloomsburg, and
also by forty-six grandchildren and
twenty-one great grandchildren.
The funeral services were held
from the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Jacob Baukus, this moruing
at 10 o'clock, and the body was
taken to the cemetery at Fisher's
church, in Main township, for in
terment. y.

James Magee 2nd, Independent
candidate for President of the Town
Council, has issued the following
letter:
Dear Sir:
As you probably are aware, I
am a Candidate for the office of
President of Town Council at the
coning February election.
I will not have time to call on all
of the Electors personally, and so
take this means of asking for your
vote and your influence. I am a
believer in the good old doctrine of
being able to give a reason why
certain things should be. And
briefly I will give you several
reasons why I should have your
vote and influence.
Criticism has been frequently
made that business men do not take
enough interest in their town poli
tics. I am a business man employ
ing more people and paying out
more wages than any other place
in town. Surely my handling of
the large business iuterests war
rants me in claiming that the busi
ness affairs of Bloomsburg will re
ceive intelligent consideration at
my hands. In passing let me say
that I have invested ail my money
in Bloomsburg. Not a dollar have
I ever asked from its citizens to be
invested in Mexico, Canada or oth
er places.
I have served 5 years as Council
man, and am thoroughly familiar
with the town affairs, as I have
beea its Vice Presid.-nt four times.
I am known as being controlled
by no man. I know nobody when
it comes to deciding what is best
for Bloomsburg. I simply ask that
the greatest return from the taxes
collected shall be given Blooms
burg. I stand squarely on the record I
have made as a member of Council.
It is open for reading by anyone.
If elected I shall serve the town to
the best of my ability. I will
scrutinize every item of expendi
ture, aud not a cent shall be paid
out excepting for value received.
I will consider every question in
a broad minded spirit. I will sup
port and work for the establish
ment of a Firemen's Relief Fuud
in accordance with the new law.
and on every question my vote
shall be found for what shall be
best for Bloomsburg.
I need your vote and that of
your friends. May I not have it ?
