the fire that ravaged that place some
weeks ago.
—— Dennis O'Leary, a three year old
scn of Mrs. Larry O'Leary, of this
place,died last Friday night of consump-
tion, it being a rare case of death from
that disease for oneso young in years.
The funeral took place on Sunday.
The base ball nine of the Belle-
fonte Y. M. C. A. went over to Al-
toona and played a game with the nine
of the Association of that place on the
Fourth of July. They won the game and
were hospitably entertained by their Al-
toona antagonists.
——An amature performance of a
burlesque called the Wedding March”
was given last Friday evening in Bush’s
Hall for the benefit of the sufferers from
the recent flood. The performers in-
cluded some of the best dramatic talent
of the town and acquitted themselves
with much credit.
-Last Friday evening an enter-
tainment was given in the grounds sur-
rounding the residence of General Hast-
ings for the purpose of increasing the
fund for the benefit of the flood sufferers.
Ice cream, cake, and other delicacies
were served and the proceeds amounted
to quite a handsome sum.
Anna Elizabeth Canan,
who from 1841 to 1872 lived at Storms-
town, this county, died at Tyrone last
Sunday evening, in her 64th year. She
was the mother of Mrs. Rothrock, who
lives near this place. She had been a
member of the Presbyterian church at
Port Matilda, where her body was
taken for interment.
— Mis.
——Elias Breon, of Pleasant Gap;
made a narrow escape on the Fourth of
July. Ie drove to Bellefonte in a bug-
gy to which was hitched a colt that had
never been in harness before. The
animal frightened at exploding fire
crackers and dashed down High street
along the pavement. The buggy was
badly wrecked, but neither Mr. Breon
or the colt was seriously injured.
-—The large building which Dr.
Hale is having erected east of the rail-
road depot will be a decided improve-
ment to that immediate locality, as it
will fill a vacancy that was something of
an eye-sore to people looking east from
the station. It will be built over the
race, with a front of 200 fet, and we are
told that corrugated iron will be the ma-
terial of which it will be constructed. It
is intended for warehousing purposes.
——Thursday evening of last week
while Frank Miles, of Milesburg, and
Oscar Lucas, of Howard, were attend-
ing a festival at the latter place, a horse,
breaking loose trom another buggy, ran
into the one in which they were, and
rearing up planted 1ts feet squarely into
their vehicle, upsetting it and aiso the
horse they were driving. In the con-
fusion both young men were kicked by
the strange horse, Frank Miles being in-
jured quite seriously.
The Fourth of July, 1889, passed
off quietly in Bellefonte, there being no
public demonstration. A number of our
people left for other places while about
an equal number came in from the
surrounding country. The explosion of
fire crackers was the only thing that
marked the distinction between it and
ordinary days. There was a good deal
of drinking done and quite a number of
drunken men were seen on the streets.
It is a pity that some American ocitizens
think that they cannot observe Inde-
pendence Day in good form without get-
ting drunk.
A MgeriN¢ COMPLIMENTARY To
GEN. HastiNgs AND CoL. SPANGLER.
—In compliance with a call for a pub-
lic meeting to welcome Adjutant Gen-
eral Hastings and Col. Spangler home
from Johnstown, where for more than
five wecks they had taken a prominent
part in the movements for the relief of
that afllicted locality, a large number of
the citizens of Bellefonte met in the hall
in Bushes Arcade on ‘Wednesday
evening for the purpose above named.
J. M. Dale, Esq. called the meeting to
order, and Mr. Geo. C. Potts being call-
ed to the chair he referred in eulogistic
terms to the gentleman in whose honor
the meeting was held. The organization
was then completed by making Wm. F.
Reber, Esq., and S. M. Buck, Secreta-
ries. Hon. Daniel Rhoads, Dr. Geo. F,
Harris, L. T. Munson and L. L. Brown
were appointed a committee to escort
General Hastings and Colonel Spangler
to the meeting. Upon the appearance of
these two gentlemen they were greeted
with cheers, and upon Chairman Potts
selecting Mr. E. C. Humes to express
the sentiments of the meeting, that
gentleman in appropriate terms referred
to the eminent services that Messus.
Hastings and Spangler performed in
Johnstown’s hour of need and afiliction.
Their going there was the spontaneous
impulse of men who were actuated by
the desire to help their fellow men in
distress. General Hastings replied
briefly and modestly,and Colonel Spang-
ler's remarks were of the same charac-
ter. The latter said that they
both were in Cambria county, on pri-
vate business, wearing rubber coats and
gum blankets in the rain that prevailed
at that time, when the landlord with
whom they were stopping told them
that a flood had occurred at Johnstown
in which 500 people had been drowned.
That was sufficient incentive for them
to start immediately for the scene of the
calamity, to render what aid they could,
and the world knows the rest of the
sad story. Colonel Spangler gave a
synopsis of what had been done for the
relief of the sufferers and the progress
that had been made to put the survivors
on their feet again. Such a meeting of
their fellow citizens was a compliment
of which the two gentlemen may be
justly proud.
CONVENTION oF THE KNIGHTS OF
LaBor.—Sub-divisions Nos. 2 and 27,
miners and mine laborers of the K, of
L., met in Altoona on Monday. The
meeting was called in accordance with
an order issued recently to the miners
and mine laborers included in the Clear-
field, Centre, Cambria, Blair and Jefter-
son counties. The meeting was well
attended, there being forty delegaie®
present. The press committee prepared
the following report and on being ac-
cepted by the convention was ordered to
be issued for publication:
“Owing to Maryland and Virginia
not being represented,it was decided not
to enforce a general suspension at the
present time. All places working below
the district price are to remain out and
all not out are to be called out. A levy
sufficient to support the striking men
has been laid on these working at the
district price. A Central Committee
was appointed, whose business it shall
be to distribute relief. The convention
was a unit in all things and is confident
of a victory in the near future. J. B.
Rea, master workman of National
Trades Assembly, 135, was present
during the convention and approved
the action taken. The eight hours’
movement is to be thoroughly discussed
all over the district on the coming
“Labor Day.”
A BELLEFONTE ENGLISHMAN.—We
have in our hands copies of the London
Financial Times, which contain letters
from Mr. Thomas Burnside written from
the west coast of South America, de-
scriptive of the immense and 1nval-
unable deposits of nitrate in that portion
of Chili captured seme years ago from
Peru, and also giving scenes and inci-
dents in a region that has been so won-
derfully endowed by nature with miner-
al wealth. The nitrate alone is a source
of untold riches, and has fallen into the
hands of English parties in whose inter-
est Mr. Burnside appears to be cperating.
As is well known in this neighborhood
he is a son of the late Judge James
Burnside, of Bellefonte, grandson of the
late General Cameron,and brother of S.
Cameron Burnside of our vicinity.
He settled in London some years ago
and has identified himself with English
interests.
HELP FOR JERSEY SHoRE.—From a
Williarasport paper we learn that Dr.
Edwards, of the State Board of Health,
who was sent to inspect Jersey Shore,
and two or three points in Tioga county,
recommends that ten thousand dollars be
given to Jersey Shore, and smaller
amounts to Lawrenceville and Tioga.
He states that the dug wells in Jersey
Shore are in a polluted condition and re.
commends the sinking of new wells-
There is no doubt .that Jersey Shore,
from its location, suffered more pro-
portionately than any other town in the
West Branch Valley, and Dr. Edwards
would not have been extravagant if he
had recommended fifteen thousand dol-
lass for that place. But if ten thousand
dollars is apportioned to the borough,
which we have no doubt will Le done, it
will aid very materially in putting it in
good sanitary condition again.
——Tt is stated that out of 400 houses
in Jersey Shore in the line of the flocd,
only nine escaped being inundated.
The contract for rebuilding the
Normal School edifice at Lock Haven
has been awarded to C. W. Uhdey, of
Warren, Pa.
A moonlight pic-nic party left
town last Wednesday evening about six
o'clock in Lose’s large hack, proceeding
to Snow Shoe Intersection where a de-
lightful evening was spent, the party re-
turning under the bright rays of the
moon.
——The school board of Union town-
ship has elected the following teachers
for the coming winter term : Cherry
Grove, Miss Bertha Davidson; Maple
Grove, Miss Jeda Erhard; Bell Grove,
Mr. Frank McCoy; Bush Grove, Miss
Dora White; Plum Grove, Miss Sallie
Davidson.
——On Saturday morning a fire took
place on the premises of Mr. W. Rich-
ards at Black Rock, near Philipsburg,
aspot well known to fishermen. The
barn was wholly destroyed. It contain-
ed a large quantity of farming imple-
ments and a new buggy which were all
rendered useless for further service.
‘When discovered every effort was made
to extinguish itbut without avail. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
The following from the Altoona
Tribune indicates that Dr. Monroein his
new field of duty hus in no way dimin-
ished his ministerial activity : “The true
Woman’’ will be the theme of Dr. Mon-
roe’s discourse in the First Methodist
Episcopal church next Sunday evening.
“The Young Man With His Eyes Open”
formed the subject of his discourse last
evening, and it was listened to by a
large and appreciative audience. It was
instructive in character and entertaining
in its sallies upon the follies of the pres-
ent age.
——Last Monday a fatal and terrible
accident occurred in Nippenose Valley,
Lycoming county. A farmer named
Samuel Bower had been mowing grass,
and having occasion to go into the
house for something laid the scythe down
on the ground. During his absence an
eight year old son took it up and com-
menced swinging it back and forth, not
noticing that his little sister, about three
years old, was close behind him; the re-
sult was that he slashed into the little
one’s throat, almost cutting her head off.
Death was instantaneous.
——Judge Krebs, of Clearfield coun-
ty, while recently taking his family on
a visit to hisbrother at Pine Grove Mills,
met with an adventure which might
have proved calamitous. They weredriv-
ing in their private conveyance, and when
Clearfield creek was reached the Judge
attempted to ford the stream, and near
the middle the horse went into a deep
hole, drawing the carriage after them.
Immediately the carriage filled and be-
gan to float down the stream, when the
Judge, with rare presence of mind,
whipped up his horses and in their strug-
gles managed to secure a foot-hold, and
soon afterward had the vehicle safe on
the other side. The party arrived in
Philipsburg sometime after dark, wet to
the skin and baggage soaked with water.
Judge Krebs, in speaking of the mis-
Lap to a friend, said he regarded the es-
cape as nothing short of miraculous.
——On the evening of the Fourth
inst., a very interesting wedding took
place at the parochial residence of Rev.
Father Kumerant in Philipsburg. The
contracting parties were Mr. Michael
Kelley, of Bellefonte, boiler maker, and
Miss Jennie Botwright, of Chester Hill.
The ceremony took place in the pres-
ence of & large number of the friends of
both, including several members of the
Hope Fire Company, the groom being
attired in a fireman’s uniform.
The groom is no stranger to Philips-
burg, and a member of the Logan Hose
Co. No. 1, Bellefonte, and is very highly
spoken of by the resident priest at Belle-
fonte. The bride well known in
Philipsburg as a prepossessing and amia
ble young lady, with all the qualities
for making a good wife and deserving
of u good husband. We wish for them
a long life of happiness, with the small-
est share of the cares that usually follow
in the wake of married lite.

Independence Day of 1889 seems
to have been celebrated with more spirit
in Philipsburg than in Bellefonte. In
the morning a procession including the
veterans of the G. A. R., Hope Fire
Company, visiting firemen and the
Temperance Legion, was formed on
Presquisle street, and headed by the
drum corps of the G. A. R., paraded the
streets. In the afternoon and evening a
dance was held at the Hope Fire Come
pany’s pavilion. At the driving park,
where the services of the Woodland
brass band were engaged, a foot ball
game formed the sport for the morning
and in the afternoon, man, horse, and
dog races, putting the shot and other
games were ably carried out, atfording
much pleasure to the large number
which assembled and enjoyed that kind
of sport. The ladies of the W. C. T. U.,
assisted by the “Y's,” provided retvesh-
ments at Barber's old stand and
well patronized during the day.

SoMETHING NEW IN INLAND WarT-
ERS.—A recent issue of the Williams-
port Gazette and Bulletin says : The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company,always
prompt to have things in shape, have a
sub-marine diver at work to examine the
abutments of their bridges in this local-
ity. The divers name is Herman Wal-
ters, whose home is Philadelphia. Mr.
‘Walters is a very pleasant man to talk
with, and he evidently possesses a thor-
ough knowledge of the work he under-
takes to perform; if he did not, he would
not be in the employ ofthe great Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Comphy.
His first work on this line of the rail-
road was at the Montgomery bridge, on
Wednesday. On Thursday he examined
the abutments of the railroad bridge,
this city, and yesterday he was at the
Linder bridge, where he descended twen-
ty feet and remained under the water
half an hour. To-day he will examinine
the abutments of the Queen's Run
bridge.
1t is a novel thing to see a sub-marine
diver at work so far in the interior of the
State, andjjthis in all probability is the
the first time that such an event has tak-
en place in Pennsylvania. Mr. Walters
no doubt considers this mere child’s play
in comparison with what he has under-
gone as a diver, for he has dropped down
into the water to a depth of over two
hundred feet.
Mr. Walters, before entering the wat-
er, clothes himself in two full suits of
flannel—in order, he says, toavoid rheum-
atism—and over this he has a heavy rub-
ber suits. Of course, then comes the
metal suit, which covers the head and
bedy, and is made of the very finest
steel.
In the same connection the Lock
Haven Democrat says: Mr. Walters ex-
amined the Queen’s Run bridge above
Lock Haven this morning, and pro-
nounced the abutments all right. He
wore a brass cap over his head with glass
in it through which to see, and heavy
iron-soled shoes. A: belt of lead weigh-
ing ninety pounds was strapped around
his waist, and an air pipe or hose was
attached to the cap or helmet on his
head, the air being sent down by a sort
of wind mill arrangment. When at the
bottom one could tell just where he was
by the bubbles welling up from below.
‘When he came out he was entirely dry |
except his hands, which of course must
be uncovered.
ANECDOTES ABoUT OLD BELLE-
FONTE LAawvyERrs.—The legal fraternity
as well as some of our older citizens will
enjoy the following anecdotes as related
by the Clearfield Raftsman’s Journal :
A good anecdote is on record concern-
ing James M. Petriken, Ksq., at an
early day the life of the Clearfield bar,
and the elder Judge Burnside. Petri-
ken raised a point and the Judge decid-
ed against him,but the lawyer promptly
produced an authority sustaining his po-
sition. Burnsides was inflexible and
Petriken impetuously tore the leaf from
the book and threw it upon the floor. In
answer to the Judge's demand for the
reason Petriken declared, “If it is not
the law it has no right to be in the
book.”
Judge Burnside is said to have had a
hearty contempt for legal forms and
technicalities. Even-handed justice was
what he wanted and he cared little how
it came about, yet it is said that upon
the Supreme Bench, to which he was
afterward commissoned, he made an ex-
cellent record. During the trial of
another cause in this county Mr. Petri-
ken and James T. Hale were associate
counsel, and Mr. Hale, understanding
the obdurate Judge upon the book ques-
tion, made the statement that he was
supported by the authorities in a posi-
tion he had just taken. ‘Well, why
didn’t you bring your books here?”
said the Judge. “I will go and get
them,” replied Mr. Hale, and as he was
going out the Judge remarked. ‘That
reminds me of a carpenter coming to
work for me without tools. The Court
has forgotten more law than that young
man knows!” “That,” quickly replied
Mr. Petriken in his waggish mode, “is
what we complain of--your Honor has
forgotten too much.”
It appears from a Johnstown
correspondence in the Philadelpia Press
that an offender who had been the cause
of the death of ten men, has recently
been lurking in this neighborhood. In
regard to this circumstance the cortes-
pondent says: Superintendent Mason, of
the Mann Detective Agency, of Phila-
delphia, has been at Johnstown for the
past few days looking for John Decker,
a Hungarian coal miner who is wanted
in Schuylkill County for manslaughter.
The detective tracked him to Bellefonte
and there learned that he.started in the
direction of Johnstown. Upon arriv-
ing here the detective found a man
working on the drift who answered the
description of the Hungarian, but it
was not he. Itis expected that the man
is working in the vicinity of the town
and descriptions of him will be posted
throughout the country. Decker was
the miner in the employ of the Kaska
William Colliery Company.

ness. Best of stock used In all branches.

—— Charles Hughes, son of Rev.
James P. Hughes, John Furst, son of
Judge Furst, and Lee Woodcock, son
of Rev. J. A. Woodcock, all of this
place, passed creditable examinations
preparatory to entering Princeton
College.
——A meeting of the stock-holders
of the Bald Eagle Valley Railroad
Company will be held in Philadelphia
on the 25th inst., for the purpose of de-
whether the Bellefonte
Nittany and Lemont railroad company
termining
shall be consolidated with and merged

—-The furnace of the Bellefonte Furnace
Company (Collins’) which had been out
of blast for the last two months for re-
pairs, was put in operation last Tuesday
and is now turning out its usual amount
ofiron. The stack was thorougly re-
lined with fire-brick,and other improve-
ments were made to facilitate the opera-
tions and increase the capacity of the
works.
——Before the departure of General
Hastings from Johnstown he was pre-
sented with a badge and emblem by
Colonel Stewart on behalf of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The gift was
in recognition of the service rendered by
the General at Johnstown. He re-
sponded feelingly to the presentation
speech of Colonel Stewart.
The citizens of Bellefonte, who
were on duty at Johnstown since the
flood, rendering assistance in the restora-
tion of that ravaged locality, have all
returned home. S. H. Williams, Harry
Keller, Capt. Mullin, S. M. Buck,
Quarter-master Singer, and others, got
back last week and the early part of this
week, and General Hastings and Colonel
Spangler arrived home on Wednesday
morning. The absence of most of them
comprehended a period of nearly a
month.
Speaking of the sentiment of the
miners in the Beech Creek and Clear-
field regions, a correspondent of the Al-
toona Tribune says: They will gener-
ously assist the miners now on strike in
regions paying less than 50 cents per
gross ton; they are opposed to a suspen-
sion of mining operations—general or
otherwise—in regions paying the 50
cent scale, and have not, nor| are they
{ contemplating. making a demand for an
increase of 10 cents, 5 cents or any other
amount. Delegates have been elected
to attend the Altoona meeting of miners
on the 8th inst., with instructions to
pledge liberal support to Gallitzin men,
but not to favor the general suspension
idea.
As is their summer
party of young people of Bellefonte went
out on an encamping excursion in the
woods last week,Cherry Run,a charming
sylvan locality in Union county being
the place selected this year, as it was
last year, for pitching their tents.
Four sturdy youths, Geo. Jackson, Will
Furst and James Hughes, of Bellefonte,
and A. Wilson Norris, of Philadelphia,
went ahead on Monday of last week and
prepared the camp,and were followed by
the rest of the excursionists the next day,
among whom were a number of young
ladies. Mrs. A. Wilson Norris, of
Philadelphia, chaparoned the! young
people who remained in camp for a
week.

Mr. Wm. M. Lyon, brother of
S. Stewart Lyon, Esq., of this place,
died at Pittsburg last week. He was
well known in Bellefonte, frequently
visiting his brother here. His father,
John Lyon, was connected with the ear-
ly iron operations of the Juniata, Bald
Eagle and Spruce Creek vallies, and
subsequently engaged in extensive iron
operations in Pittsburg. John Lyon,
the father, was married four times. The
first wife, and mother of William M.,
was Jane McClay, a daughter of Wil-
liam McClay, who, with his colleague,
Robert Morris, was the first United
States senator from Pennsylvania, serv-
ing from 1789 to 1791. His second wife
was a daughter of General John Patton,
of Centre county. To this union one
son was born, J. Patton Lyon, who
died a few years ago at his home in
Pittsburg. His third wife was Marga-
ret. a sister of his partner, David Stew-
art. To this union eight children were
born as follows: James B. Lyon, of
Pittsburg; 8. Stewart Lyon, of Belle-
fonte; Mary A. Lowrie, wife of J. R.
Lowrie, of Warriorsmark, both deceas-
ed; George W. Lyon, of Pennsylvania
Furnace; Mrs. Bucher Ayers, of Phila-
delphia; Mrs. Hamill, deceased, wife of
Rev. J. R. Hamill, of Centre county,
Sarah W., wife of George W. Porter, of
Alexandria, Huntingdon county, and
Thomas S. Lyon, of Topeka, Kansas.
The fourth wife was Anna P. Hubley,
of Lancaster, without issue. Wm. M.
Lyon was born in Harrisburg, April 30,
1809, and died aged 80 years 2 months
and 3 days. In his boyhood days he
| was a student at Dickinson college, Car-
lisle, and soon afterward he entered the
‘Western university at Pittsburg, from
which he graduated,after which he took
up the study of law and finished a course
in that branch, but never made applica-
tion for admittance to the bar, preferring
a life of business, for which after expe-
perience he has proved himself well fit
ted.

Who deems that all flesh is but grass,
Shall find me a tough and a lithe m an,
Full of years as the sands in his glass.
But fare as it may with the Ego,
And whether or no I am crowned,
My life shall not fare like Carthago—
Shail not be brought down to the ground.
I have fashioned a poem sublimer

Nor did the great German at Weimar
My latest endeavor transcend.
No more by the critical croaker
Shall my work as unworthy be classed ;
I am out of the hole mediocre,

Not in books, like the lyrics of Horace,

In my Lalages, Lilies and Lauras
Shall my spirit persist and grow fair.

Are anxious for facts that convince,—
Come up to the house and I’ll show you
