RECEPTION FOB
PASTOR AND WIFE
The members of Shiloh Reformed
o'.iurch Tuesday t, ndered a reception
to their pastor. Rev. Joseph E Guy,
and his wife, which proved to be a
most delightful affair. The reception
was held in the lecture room of the
ohoroh, which was most beautifully
decorated for the occasion, the ceiling
beiug festooned with hunting while at
the front of the room the church col
ors—black,red and orauge—were prom
inently displayed.
Nearly the entire congregation was
present. The newly installed pastor
aud his wife, who occupied a position
near the front of the room, were iu
troduced lo the members and others
invited by the officers of the church
Some lifteeu minutes were spent in
this way, after which a very appro
priate program was rendered.
Rev. C. D. Lerch read the scripture
and followed with prayer. The choir
rendered an anthem in excellent style,
after which Rev. L. D. Ulricb deliv
ered the address of welcome, an ex
ceedingly felicitous aud appropriate
effort.
The Double Male Quartette render
ed a Sue selection, which was follow
ed with au address by Dr. Juo. Sweis
fort on behalf of the Cnnsi'torv. Dr.
Sweisfort was followed by D. R. Wil
liams with an address on behalf of the
Sabbath School.
George Eggert rendered a silo very
nicely, after which M' s . Greeuawald
spoke on behalf of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety.
There was a charming selection by
a mixed quartette, after which C. C.
Rilter gave au address on behalf of
the Christian Endeavor So* iety. The
Double Male Quartette sang a selec
tion, which was followed by the ad
dress of the pastor. Rev. Mr. Guy,
who (.poke in a feeling and apprecia
tive veiu.
Among the clergymen of town who
were present were: Rev. J. E. Hutch
ison, Rev. S. B. Evans. Mc-
Cormack, Rev E. B Dunn.
The reception wound up with the
serving of refreshments, consisting of
coffee, cake. etc.
Brick Cornice Falls.
A most unusual occurrence created
a big excitement in the vicinity of
William M. Seidel's store, Mill street,
last evening.
It occurred between six and seven
o'clock, whqn few people w re ou the
street. Suddeulv sv i 611 a noise
that resembled the repoit of a can
non several hundred weight of
brick became detached from the eaves
of the Seidel building, three stories
high,aud fell down on the stout wood
en awning iu frout of the store.
People rushed out of their houses on
every side under the impression that
au explosion had occurred somewhere,
probably in J. C. Pattorsou's collar.
Mr. Patterson, however, was as much
mystified as any one audit was some
time before any learned what had
happened.
The cornice in the Seidle building
is built of brick. This iu the process
of time had become insecure, the mortar
between the brick crumbling and fall
ing out. Laft night the limit was
reached and the bricks fell. Fortunate
ly the awning was equal to the emer
gency; the broad top caught the brick
that fell and kept them conceal
ed from view. Fortuuately the pedes
trians weie exposed to no dauger.
Mr. Seidel will have the damage re
paired today
Christmas Rush Is On.
Christmas trade is booming and in
view of the fact that Ihe Stuta Olaus
mail is already quite heavy Postmaster
Harder, of this city, is anxious that
the people be properly posted as to
how holiday goods should be s> nt
through the mails
It is especially urged that wrappers
should he stiong and safely tied, as
merchandise going through the maila
is handled by many persons not con
nected with the post office, such as
wagon drivers.railroa 1 hands and sta
tion workru n. Bigs containing such
mail are often thrown on platforms
from cars going at full speed, aud
rough usage is simply unavoidable.
Care in direoting mail is suggested.
Mailable packages can bo registered
by paying 8 cents extra postage. Put
ting on extra postage without having
a registry receipt does not register
any thing.
Merchandise packages may be sent
for oue cent au ounce if packed so as
to be conveniently examined by post
office employes to prove there is no
writing iuside. If sealed to prevent
suoh iuspection the postnge is two
oents for each ounce.
Express companies are beginning to
feel the spirit of the season, and de
liverers are begiruiug to work over
time

SENATORIAL
AMTMIENT
fc. 1
Apropos of the task that shall come
up at the coming special session of the 1
State Legislature a writer in the 1
"Philadelphia Ledger" discourses ou j
the probability of the work being ac- .
complished. In the speculative scheme !
among the new districts mapped out
are the following, which will prove j
of especial interest to people o! this .
sectiou:
Northumberland aud Montour have
a population of 106,437. They can be
made into one district without vio
lence to the constitution.
Lycoming, Sullivau, Columbia and
Montour at present comprise 11 senat
orial district. With Montour dropped,
the other three counties would have a
population of 127,693, a little more
than 1,000 in excess of a ratio.
Centre, Union, Snyder end Mifflin
are adjoining counties, with total
populatiou of 100,950.aud would make
a fairly compact district.
Juuiata. Perry aud Cumberland
would form as compact and as con
tiguous a district as could he found in
the state, outside of a single county.
They have a population of 92,561. This
is less than four-fifths of a ratio, but
it is difficult to carve out a more pop
ulous district in this section of the
state.
Lebanon is not entitled to be con
stituted a separate district. Although
the four adjoining counties are each
entitled to "one or more senators,"
Lebanon has not "one-half a ratio,'
and therefore must be attached to one
of the adjoining counties. As Dauphin
has the least population by 35,000, it
follows that Dauphin aud Lebanon
shall constitute a senatorial district.
Adams, Franklin aud Fulton are now
part of three districts. By combining
them a district is formed with a pop
ulation of 99,322.
Although Bedford aud Somerset have
a population of only 88,929, their
formation into a separate district is
held to be unavoidable because of the
populous surrounding counties, except
Fulton, which is attached to au ad
joining district.
Carbon, Monroe, Pike and Wayne
form a natural district. Combined they
have a population of 104,6)8.
Susquehanna, Wvomiug aud Brad
foid cau hardly escape being joined
together to form a senatorial district.
Their populatiou is 116,598
Blair and Huntingdon forma natur
al senatorial district. They run par
allel,and have a population of 119,749.
Clearfield with Cameron and Elk 011
the north, come within the constitu
tional provisions as a senatorial dis
trict. These three counties luve a
population of 120,565.
Tioga, Potter and Clinton are not
compact, nor, strictly speaking, con
tiguous. Tioga is east of Potter and
Clinton is on the south of Potter ; Clin
ton and Tioga do not touch. Still it
would be difficult to improve on these
as one district.
The writer continues: The senators
from the .T'fferson-ludiana and the
Mercer-Lawreuce districts will prob
ably support the bill,as their districts
are continued iutact, and the senator
from the new Somerset-Bedford dis
trict may he disposed to vote in the
aflirmative, as the only alteruative to
his district is to make it smaller by
relieving it of Fulton county. The
same reason for voting for the bill ap
plies to the senator from the Lycom
ing-Sulli van-Columbia-Montour dis
trict, which has Montour eliminated
. in the proposed apportionment.
T!;e senator from the Northumber
laud-Union-Sndyer district is likely
to be for the bill, as it cuts off Union
aud Suyder, which has been a politic
al disadvantage Montour
to Northumberland. The number of
possible supporters of senatorial reap
portionment is brought up to thirty
four more than is necessary.
There may be several senators to
whom the reapportionment will be a
disadvantage, who will feel conscien
tiously obliged to vote for it in compli
ance with their oath to support the
constitution.
Surprise Party.
Mrs. Calvin Eggert was tendered a
pleasant surprise party at her home.

ing in honor of her fifty-third birth

THE SAD CASE !
OF JACOB WBIMER
|
Jacob Wejmer, the Hebrew Shoe
i maker 011 Lower Mulberry stteet,
| whose pitiable case was described in
■ these columns over a week ago,is still
| 111 doubt as to the fate of his wife and 1
four children—whether they ara still j
alive awaiting 11 !j j from him or have j
| fallen a victim to the fury of the mob. j
i Since the last articlti was written he j
has 1 ivetl through nearly ten days ad
ditional of anxiety and suspense, which 1
is almost killing him.
The time since purchasing tickets
and sending the mouey to his family
has now grown to som» forty-eight
days, whereas the longest time requir
ed for full information in reply nndt r j
normal conditions would be sunt'l
thirty or thirty-five dajs, Iu view of
the horrible massacres that have tak
en place in Kishenev wlnre the fam
ily reside the continued silence is lull
of dreadful porteut.
The shoemaker still clings to the one
1 hope that the delay in the Post. Office
j department in delivering the funds
sent Dy money order and his wife's
consequent failure to reply is due to
the disorders existing throughout the
empire and the various strikes that
have tied up the railroads and the
handling and delivery of mail. The
same disorders.which have tied up the
telegraph lines, makes it problematic
al whether anything would be accom
plished by telegrapning. Nevertheless,
the shoemaker informed a
tive of this paper yesterday that the
suspense had become intolerable and
if no letter arrived today or tomorrow
he would try to s e what could be ac
-1 complished by telegraphing, although
a brief telegram sent to that, distant
land would cost between nine and ten
; dollars.
Mr. Weiuier, says tbht the article
priuted in the AMERIUAN on the
i 7th inst aroused a gn at deal of in
terest iu his case and many kind
s hearted persons who had read the story

The N'oith American promises some
thing decidedly out of the ordinary in
: its is-ue of December 17. the Christ

stories by the best-known authors.and
will a'-o b gin the ferial publication
of"THE MASQUERADER," by

All the magazine articles and comics
will be full of the Christmas spirit,
and one page that will be thoroughly

TROLLEY CREWS
NEW OUTFIT
The trolley crews of the Danville
aud Bloomsburg line are rigged out in
new outfits for winter, consisting of
long blue overcoats and «aps of the
same color The motormen's coats are
marked with silver colored buttons,
while those of the conductors have
bras* buttons. The finest of material
is employed and when dressed in the
new uniforms the three crews along
with the cozy cars present a spick aud
span appearance.
The crews are quite proud of their
outfit. The entire group iu uniform
along with two of the cars,which met
at Grovania, were photographed the
other day. The picture—some eight
by ten inches—is a very good one.
Superintendent W. R. Miller stands at
the heal of the group. Below liitu
stand in a line: J. S. Raver, Ray- I
moud Barrett, W. R. Kisner and Frank I
Meusch, conductors, and William C. j
Burger, Clyde Dyer, and William j
| Christian, motornien.
Everything on the Danville and j
Bloomsburg line is ready for winter.
The track along its entire course has j
been raised out of the mud aud at a j
level where the snow will be less like- !
ly to interfere with it. The snow plow !
has been overhauled and is ready for i
use whenever needed.
Mr. Miller has proven himself a
most efficient superintendent, a tact
attested not alone by the excellent j
running condition of the road but by ;
the pleasant and frieudly• relations j
that exist between himself and the !
employes of the company.
The Buzzards Let Loose.
About 8 o'clock Saturday night psd- j
estrians on Mill street wero mystified
and not a little alarmed bv a series of
unseemly sounds proceeding from K.
G. E. Hall, made up of discordant
yells, which might have suggested the
frenzy of wild men
It was all explaiued a little later
when lifty-six members of the order
fcere seen to file down the narrow
stairway and proceed to the City Ho
tel, where a banquet was the next
thiug in order.
On this occasion, however, it was
not distinctively the Goldeu Eagles
j that was creating all the farore, but
■ the less dignified birds known as the
("Buzzards," who form a side degree
I of the Golden Eagles.
! Saturday night was the date select
led for a gala occasion, when all the
! Buzzards were let loos- 1 . The first
| thing in order was the initiation of
; four candidates,which means substau
| tially that four memb rs of the Golden
, Eagles were brought to roost with
! the Buzzards. It was during this un
| ique process that the unseemly noises
were heard from the street.
Down at the City Hotel the Buz
zards comported themselves very de
corously,attacking tli» fine bill of fare
that Landlord Johnny Moyer had pro
vided in the most approved and digni
fied manner. The banquet was much
enjoyed and pronounced by the Buz
zards as fine a feast as they ever par
took of.

PUBLIC BUILDING FOR
BLOOMSBURG [?)
■ Word comes to us from Washington,
D. C.. today,that Cougressmau E. W.
Samuel introduced a bill for a new
public building for Bloomsburg at a
j cost not to exceed SIOO,OOO. This was
done at the earnest solicitation of our
j citizens irrespective of politics and it
listo he hoped that the Congressman
; will be sncce-sful in securing the
j building for our town. The struetaie
I would be used for a postoflice aud per
haps for Federal purpo-es—holding of
United States Court, etc.
When called up and asked about it
Hon. E. W. Samuel stated that he had
been requested by leading citizens of
Bloomsburg to introduce a bill asking
for a public building for our town and
would do all he possibly could to have
the bill pass. He further statefl that
he had been requested to ask for a
similar buildirg for Shamokiu and
that he does not waut to show any
discrimination between the towns of
his district, and will cheerfully in
troduce bills for public improvements
where and when needed.—Bloomsburg

Our two policemen, J. C. Minc *-
moyer, Chief, aud John Grier Voris
assistant,on Saturday morning reciev
ed their new overcoats. The officers
had a good deal of trouble in getting
equipped for the winter. They looked
over a great, vari» ty ot samples aud
decided u'.ioti coat , which finally ar
rived, bjt had to ba returned, as they
were found to be overcoats of a pat
tern belonging to conductors of trolley
cars and not a cut or texture becom
ing the physical structure of men sel
ected to uphold the majesty of the
law. The coats which arrived Satur
day seem to fill the bill in every de
tail and are much admired.

Elizabeth, the fcur-yoar-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mr- John Jenkins, Up
per Mulberry street,who had be*6n un
dergoing treatment at a Philadelphia
Hospital lor several mouths, returned

METAL CEILING.
The store room on Mill street own- |
ed by J. 14. Goeser and occupied by
Lovett it Gill is being remodeled. A
metal ceiling ornamental, though ap
propriate in design, is among the im
provements. Business is going on
about the same as ever although the
clerks are much handicapped in wait
ing upon customers bv reason of the
scaffolding which obstructs the store
The fine improvements, however, will
well repay all inconveniences en
countered. i
THE IRONWORK
HAS ARRIVED
After a long and discouraging delay j
material for two of the four steel i
bridges to be built in this county has
arrived and the structures will be im
mediately built to the end that the
roads where the streams are to be
bridged may be in good and passable i
condition by the time of the spring
break up when high water is likely to
occur.
The material, which is now on the
cars at Washingtonville, is for the
bridge at Matthew Sheep's and the
one at Hagerman's, both being in An
thony township, bridging streams
which flow into the Chillisquaqoe
The former is 30 feet long and the lat
ter 24 feet.
The contractor for both bridges is
the Owego Bridge Company, which
will have men on the ground to erect
the superstructures. The abutments
were built by the township and all is !
ready for the iron work which will be
hauled from the cars to the site of the
bridges.
J 11. Cole has the contract for two
other bridges, both of -which will be
in Libarty township, one at Henry
Vincent's farm and the other over a
| branch of the Chillisquaque near Wil
, liani E. Boyer's. These will also be
| erected during the winter. The delay
in getting the iron work on the ground
: is attributed to the pressure of work
I iu the big industries where the bridges
j are made.

ACCEPTED BO
JEWISH FilTB
B'nai /ion synagogue Friday was
the scene of a unique and impressive
ceremony, in wli ch a young woman
born octside the Jewish church was
accepte i into that faith. The yonng
convert was Minnie O. Williams of
Dufiois. daughter ot Dr. A. M. Wil
liams, deceased
The ceremony rook plane after the
(lose ot the regular Sabbath evening
service" Rahb Zeisler announced to
the congregation that the young wo
man had appe »red before him with the
request that she he accepted into the
Jewish 1 I'th. As is well known, lie
.-aid,the Jews never solicit nor eucou
rate mi >iihers of other religious beliefs
to join Ihe in in the Faith of Israel. In
this instance following custom the
minister had advised the petitioner to
remain in her own faith.with her own
people, reminding her that God as a
most merciful Father of all maukind
Aouhl sureiy not deny salvation and
, bliss of eternal life to any one of his
| children who live upright and virtu
ous lives.
The request was nevertheless repeat
!ed on another occa-ion and again the
minister felt bou id according to Jew
ish traditions to deny the request as
done in the first instance with the
same advice. •
For the third time the petitioner
called on the mini- ter with the same
request. After a careful inquiry into
the ca-e the Rabbi felt satisfied that
nothing but lofty reasons stimulated
the petitioner to seek shelter in the
Jewish church. Accordingly, Rabbi
j Zeisler explained, there was nothing
left for the congregation but to accept
t ie faithful into its fold.
At this point the petitioner was call
ed b fore the altar and asked:
Have you received instruction in
i our faith, are you acquainted with tl e
characteristic tenets of Israel? The
answer was, "yes."
Which, then, is the doctrine upon
which the faith of Israel is based?
The answer was:
"The One Sole Gol, who is the Fa
ther of all maukind. "
Then,before the altar with her right
hand upon the Scroll of the Five Books
of Moses she assumed the obligation:
"I vow here in this Temple of Israel
i before the E ders of this congregation
I and its me übers, that so help me God
I will live and I am ready to die in
the Faith of I-rael! I will serve the
O .e Sole God.the Hope, Rock and Re
deemer of Israel, with all my heart
and with all my soul. May the God
of 1 rael whom I'beseech with a ferv
ent heart accept my prayer, may I be
permitted to lead a life to the honor
of" Israel a id mankind.
Havi ig tak'u npou herself the ob
ligation of the Huiy Law the young
woman wa« informed that she most
fotever stand iu the community as a
tespou-ittle Jewess. The Kabbi then
delivered the charge, which indeed
was most I) antiful,after which he ex
tended to her his right hand and torm
ally welcomed her into the Jewish
fold.
Then with his hands raised above
her head he invoked the divine bless
ing: "Almighty Father of mankind,
Thou Great God of our forefathers,
bless our s ster, enroll her as we name
her today under the name of the Sister
ot the Great Law Giver, Moses, "Mi
riam". Then raising his voice the
ttabbi prorl limed impressively: "Mi
riam, my sister, may the Almighty
bless thee!"
As soou as the services were con
cluded then .vlv accepted convert was
welcomed by the entire congregation,
some time beiug consumed in hand
shaking. She is a handsome and a very
intelligent lady aud seemed to adapt
herself to her new situation very
gracefully.
