the Bellefonte relief fund was distributed
in that section, as it says that much of

_——The next State Convention of
County Commissioners will be held at
Allentown on the 24th, 25th and 26th
of September. The first one was held
at Erie last September. Subjects relat-
ing to taxation are considered at their
meetings and it may be believed that
sonie good will result from them.
As an instance of the terribly de-
structive character of the Johnstown
flood, the Democrat of that place says
that Robert Butler’s house, the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad hotel, more generally
known as the Field House property, on
Iron street, Millville borough, had in it
at the time of the flood thirty-one per-
sons, not one of whom is known to have
escaped, and none of their bodies, it is
said, have yet been found.
——2A council of the Oder of the
United American Mechanics has been
organized in Milesburg, and will be
known as Milesburg Council No. 280.
The organization was effected by John
Gunsallus of Snow Shoe City Council
No. 274, assisted by J. S. Ewing of the
same council and members of various
other councils, with about thirty-five
charter members, some of whom are
from Bellefonte.
NEARLY SUFFoCATED.—Two men
named Henry Glass and Daniel Guil-
ford, while engaged in cleaning the tank
of the Acme Oil Company at Lock Ha-
ven, last Monday, narrowly escaped
death from suffocation. The tank is
capable of holding 300 barrels and they
were let down througha trap door.
When Thomas Hensen, the drayman,
called to the men at the bottom of the
tank he received no answer, but heard
them breath so hard and heavily—he
denominated it “snoring,” that he be-
came alarmed and called for help. A
rope was procured and Hensen descend-
ed and found both men lying on their
backs and neither able to speak and at
that time they barely scemed to breathe.
Fastening the rope around Guilford first
he was hoisted to the top and afterwards
Glass was taken out the same way.
‘When the men got into the fresh air
they seemed to be merely breathing.
Drs. Armstrong and Ball were sum-
moned and in due time the men seemed
to slightly revive and were removed to
their homes, where they are in a serious
condition. Hensen, the colored dray-
man, said that he could hardly stand it
long enough to get the rope around their
bodies, and that if he had been forced
to remain any longer he believed he
would have dropped over.
Di1sTRESS IN NITTANY VALLEY.—It
is said that the people of that section of
Nittany Valley that was affected by the
flood are disgusted with the tactics of
the Lock Haven Relief Committee,who
have kept the money intended for use in
and about the town strictly in the town,
while the people along Fishing Creek
and its tributaries are really in greater
need, especially the working people and
those who owned small homes and have
nothing to rebuild with. Some have
their houses standing among rocks, no
fences, no soil, no crops and no money.
Help is really needed in Nittany Valley,
as the people did not have papers to re-
present their needs as the cities and
towns had, but they surely supposed
that they would get some of the relief
sent to the county seat. A committee
has been appointed to represent the case
of the sufferers to the State Commission
and to the public.
Tae VEAL LAw.—The law prohibit-
ing the killing of a calf before it has at-
tained the proper age is severe and
somewhat stringent. It provides that
any person who kills, or causes to be
killed, with intent to sell the meat
thereof for family use, a calf of less than
four weeks, or knowingly sells or has in
his possession such meat, with the intent
to sell the same for such use to a foreign
market, shall be imprisoned. not more
than six months or fined not more than
$300. It would be proper for the pur-
chasers of meat to look well to this mat-
ter, and to exercise the best judgmentas
to whether they believe all the veal of-
fered for sale in our market has attained
the sufficient age to make it marketable,
as well as palatable. It will also be of
interest to those who sell meats to exer-
cise care in this matter.

HicawAY RoBBERY.—The Williams-
port G. and B. states that last Monday
nightabouta quarter pasteleven o’clock,
Harry Edkins, a young nan whose
home is on the South Side, was robbed
on the Market street bridge by two
men, apparently tramps. One of them
caught him by the throat and threw him
down, the other man “went through’
his pockets,taking eightdollars in money
and a silver watch, open face, and a
gold chain. After relieving him of his
valuables they bade him turn back and
not follow them. He obeyed, came to
the police office and told what had oc-
cured.
A CARrRervL CoMPaANY.—All passen-
ger cars on the Pennsylvania railroad
are obliged to be disinfected once a week
and all rubbish so far as possible burned.
Where the drinking water is supposed
to be impure instructions are given to
boil it, and where any case of infectious
disease in a coach, at a station or on the
company’s property occurs, a physician
must be sent for at once, and the car or |
room closed and not used again until
thoroughly fumigated.
The firm of Hoover, Hughes &
Co., of Philipsburg,who have a contract
for putting up two hundred houses at
Jdhnstown, are pushing the job vigor-
ously. From the 8th to the 13th inst.,
they turned out from their planing mill
no less than one hundred of these houses
complete in every particular,
——The collection recently taken in
the Episcopal church of this place forthe
benefit of the Episcopal church at New-
port, Perry county, injured by the late
flood, amounted to $27.
Rev. E. E. Hoshour, pastor of the
Bellefonte Lutheran congregation, was
martied at Gettysburg on the 11th inst.,
by Rev. Dr. Swartz, to Miss Ella M.
Sheely, daughter of County Superintend-
ent Sheely of Adams county.
——Abraham Hart, the father of ex-
Senator W. W. Hart, of Williamsport,
was one hundred and one years old on
the 6th of May last. Recently he had
a fall and hurt his back against a bench,
and it was feared he might not recover.
But he is slowly getting better again.
——Last Friday morning Mrs. Bar-
bara Geddis, mother of Mrs. Theodore
Deshner and Mrs. John Moore, of this
place, died atthe home of the latter,
after a long prostration from feeble
health, in her 74th year. Her remains
were taken to Hartleton, Union county,
on Saturday, for interment, where she
had resided before coming to Bellefonte
some three years ago.
——The Juniata valley camp-meet-
ing opens this year the 13th and closes
the 25th of August. Material improve-
ments in tents, places of worship and on
the grounds have been made since last
year. Already nearly every tent is en-
gaged, and those of our readers who ex-
pect to attend this enjoyable gathering
of good people, will needs hurry up
their orders for tent accommodations.
——Some weeks ago a child of Henry
Bossinger, at Granville Run, Mifllin
county, was bitten by a copperhead
snake. Soon after it happened a chicken
was killed, cut open and applied to the
poisoned part with the object of draw-
ing out the virus, and while a second
chicken was being applied a cat secured
the first chicken and ate of it, and be-
fore it moved from the spot it died from
the poisoned fowl. It is not stated
whether the child recovered.
——DMr. J. B. Gentzel, of Spring
township, recently returned from Bed-
ford county with two of the finest
mated farm teams that has been seen in
this section, one a gray team, weighing
3029 pounds, the cther beautiful bays,
tipping at 2800 pounds. For the grays
he received $500 from a gentleman near
Zion, and has refused $450 for the bays
which he proposes to keep until some
one appreciating good horses comes
around.
——In our Pine Grove items last
week mention was made of the acci-
dental killing of James Shreftler by the
bursting of his gun. The inquest held
upon the body found that the cause of
his death was as above stated. It ap-
pears that the gun was an old one, the
breech screw being rusty, and being un-
able to have it-fixed he attempted to fix
it himself by wrapping a piece of tin
around the breech. His body was found
in a field not more than half a mile from
his home and people living near by re-
member hearing a loud report of a gun
at about 4.30 on Monday afternoon,
when it is believed that in firing at a
bird or some other game the explosion
took place. On Tuesday evening at 7
o'clock, the funeral took place, the Me-
thodist minister officiating.
——The Philipsburg Journal, in
speaking of the failure ofa certain wed-
ding to come off in South Philipsburg
on Wednesday night of last week, the
time fixed for it, says that the contract-
ing parties were residentsof thatsuburb,
but the groom? whose occupation called
him to Bellefonte, failedjto put in an ap-
pearance. The Squire was present with
his legal authority, many guests were
there with their best wishes, an escort
awaited the expected groom at the rail-
way station, ice cream and cake in any
quantity, but the intended bride was
despondent. The groom not making
his appearance, the mother of the bride
suggested that they make the best of it,
and “go for’’ the ice cream. Action
followed the suggestion and 1t was soon
out of sight. Unless some other un-
fortunate circumstances intervened the
happy event was consummated next
night.
——The people of Centre county can’t
be indifferent to the importance of the
following item of news: The latest in-
vention of Thomas Alva Edison, the
“Wizard of Menlo Park,” a magnetic
ore separator, will be of great import-
ance to the iron manufactuter of this
country, if the invention be as success-
ful as the experiments at Bechtelsville,
near Reading, indicate. These experi-
ments were concluded last Saturday, and
the working of Mr. Edison's invention
is explained in this way: The rock
containing the ore, after passing through
the crusher and being broken to about
the size of an egg, is conveyed in small
buckets and dumped into a large hop-
per. From here it drops out in a small
stream down an incline and passes with-
in a few inches of a powerful magnet.
This is so heavily charged as to draw the
iron ore from its course into one channel,
and the rock and other foreign elements
contained in the ore are permitted to
pass through another channel to the re-
fuse pile.
Goon RECORDS oF DEMOCRATIC
OrricE HoL DERs.—It is certainly a
gratification to the people to learn of the
faithful performance of duty by public
officials, and it is especially a cause of
congratulation among Democrats when
officers holding positions under a Dem-
ocratic administration have reflected
credit upon the party by their faithful
and efficient service. Such a kind of
officer has been C. B. Staples, Esq., Col-
lector of Internal Revenue for the 12th
District of Pennsylvania, who retired
from that position last week after an in-
cumbency of four years, with a record
of which any officer might well be proud.
During his term as collector of this
district he has fulfilled every duty of the
office with fidelity, promptness and
marked ability. He has made a cour-
teous, obliging and efficient officer, and
the people of this district generally will
view his retirement with regret. Dur-
ing his administration the business of
the office increased in volume to a very
considerable extent, but it has been well
taken care of by the collector and his
deputies. The following figures con-
cerning the volume of business passing
through the office in the past four years
will doubtless prove interesting to many:
The collections of the Internal. Reve-
nue office of the 12th District of Penn-
sylvania in the fiscal year ending June
30, 1889, amounted to $538,122.42, made
up as follows, viz:
BION sien tf i iid $ 1,142.74
Beer... 216,971:88
Spirits 41,174.10
Cigars ... . 85,600.61
Tobacco....... . 49,218.92
Special Taxes....... 114,014.21
An increase is shown over last year of
$15,843.42.
As the present district is now cousti-
tuted, the first full fiscal year after the
reorganization of the same in 1883, was
the year ending June 30, 1884, during
which period E. H. Chase, Esq., was
collector, with the exception of the last
22 days.
The total collections for that year were
$433,870.97.
The following are the total collections
for the four full fiscal years C.B. Staples
was collector, viz :
1880. cnrecsrnnnas £460,190.00
1887. 506,751.04
1888.
38................
This shows a steady increase each
year.
Collector Staples had the advantage of
the assistance of faithful and efficient
deputies, without which he could not
have bad such gratifying success in the
management of his office. Among them
none was more serviceable, or performed
his duties with more intelligence, fideli-
ty and efficiency than Deputy Collector
Wm. C. Heinle, Esq., of this place.
That his services as an officer and char-
acter as a man were appreciated by his
chief is shown by a letter he received
from Mr. Staples after the latter's retire-
ment from office, in which he paid the
following tribute to Mr. Heinle:
“It is a pleasure for me to express to
you my thanks for your honest, faithful
and successful work as Deputy Collector
under me. It was partly owing to this
work of yours that the 12th Internal
Revenue District stands so well to-day.
May your efforts for public success ac-
complish what you desire them and your
cup of pleasure run over. It isa grati-
fication for a man in public position to
meet and have associated with him a
man like you.”
Such a tribute as this is something
that any man retiring from a position of
public trust may justly value, and the
Democratic party may well be proud of
such officers as Mr. Heinle and his
chief C. B. Staples.
MINERS’ MEETING.--A meeting of
miners and mine laborers was held at
Philipsburg to consider the report of the
delegates to the conference recently held
at Altoona. A committee of five was
appointed to arrange for a mass meeting
to discuss organization and bring speak-
ers from a distance. Sentiment was ex-
pressed in favor of some other organiza-
tion than the K. of L. It was resolved
to give another $500 to the men now on
strike. It sounds strange to hear the
word “strike” used in this Republi-
can high tariff’ millenium .
——The death of Mrs. Frank Pren-
tice, which occurred at her home in this
place last Sunday morning about 11
o'clock, was attended with some distress-
ing circumstances. Her illness com-
menced about 9 o'clock the evening
previous, resulting from overheating
caused by the work in which she had been
engaged, added to a trip to another por-
tion of the town and hastening home to
escape a threatening shower. There
was a severe illness of the stomach and
cerebro-spinal complieations, followed
by paralysis. She was 29 years old, had
been married less than a year, and for-
merly lived at Scotia. The case was one
calculated to excite the sympathy of the
community.
——At a meeting of the borough
council on Monday evening, a request
for the purchase of four hose nozzles-two
each for the Logans and Undines, was
granted. The market fees in two weeks
were $8.40. Water privileges have been
placed at the site of the new Lutheran
church and new pipe laid on Beaver
street. |

——An alligator owned by William
E. McMurtrie, of Huntingdon, and
brought from Florida thirteen years
ago, died a few days ago.
——The fortune left by Wm. M. Ly-
on, brother of Stewart Lyon, Esq., of
this place, whose recent death in Pitts-
burg was noticed in our columns last
week, is estimated at $400,000.
——DMrs. Geo. W. Lyon, of Pennsyl-
vania Furnace, is among the registered
summer guests at the Chalfonte hotel,
Atlantic City, accompanied by her
niece, Miss Agres of Philadelphia.
——The Episcopal Sunday School
pic-nic came off in Seller's woods on the
Buffalo Run railroad on Wednesday, it
being the first church pie-nic of the sea-
son from this place.
——Howard’s most prosperous and
popular merchant, Balser Weber, Esq.,
accompanied by his son-in-law, Mr.
Muflly, of Chicago, spent Monday in
town.
——The red belt that traverses the
Bald Eagle mountain opposite Lock
Haven between the base and centre of
the ridge, and which has attracted con-
siderable attention, is said to have been
caused by the voracious locusts that visit-
ed the trees in that line of their travel.
e
——The Republican convention of
Clinton county met in Lock Haven last
Tuesday and elected Sterrett R. Quigley
delegate to the State Convention which
will nominate a candidate for State
Treasurer. A. J. Malone was chosen
county chairman.
——The following is the celebrated
New York Sun cholera mixture which
is invaluable at this season of the year:
Take equal parts of tincture of cayenne,
tincture of opium, tincture of rhubarb.
essence of peppermint and spirits of
camphor, and mix well. Dose, fifteen
to thirty drops in a wine-glass of water,
according to age and violence of the at-
tack. Repeat every fifteen minutes until
relief is obtained.
Last Saturday afternoon about
3:30 a fire broke out in the stable re-
cently occupied by Daniel Paul, corner
of 2nd and Pine streets, Philipsburg,
which was entirely destroyed, together
with an adjoining tenant house. By
great exertion property in the vicinity,
including the Loyd House and Central
Hotel, was saved. A valuable New-
foundland dog, belonging to a commer-
cial man, was burned in the stable.
——The Lycoming county judicial
contest continues to draw its slow length
along. It is now nearly a year since
the alleged crookedness in the election
took place, and the three learned judges
sitting upon the case have not yet been
able to straighten it out. There is no
telling when the proceedings will ter-
minate, and in the meanwhile the costs
that will have to be paid by the tax-
payers of the county are accumulating.
The “grand old party,”” however,doesn’t
care for expense when it wants to steal
an office.
Mrs. Martha C. Miller, mother
of John C. Milier, died at the residence
of her son in this place, Friday of last
week, aged 78 years. She ,was the
daughter of William Welch who mov-
ed to this place from Pittsburg many
years ago, and her early life was passed
here. Having married Charles H.
Miller she resided in Huntingdon until
his death about seven years ago, soon
after which she came to Bellefonte to
reside with her son. Her remains were
taken to Huntingdon last Monday for
interment. She was a lady whose
Christian virtues and excellent traits of
character won for her many friends.
A sad accident occurred near
Orbisonia, Huntingdon county, about
half-past 5 o’clock Monday evening, re-
sulting in the instant death of a boy
named Kennedy. His father resides a
short distance from Brodbeck’s stone
quarry, about a mile from Orbiscnia,
where men were at work blasting, and
the boy was in the yard playing at the
time a heavy blast was put off, heedless
of his danger, when a large stone de-
scended and struck him on the head,
killing him instantly. The house is lo-
cated fully 500 yards from the quarry,
.and it must have been an extraordinary
blast that precipitated the stone so far.
The boy was aged 12 years, and his
death has occasioned general sympathy.

FREE TRANSPORTATION TO SOLDIERS,
—In September next the monuments
erected on the Gettysburg battlefield to
mark the positions occupied by the
Pennsylvania troops in that battle, will
be dedicated. The honorably discharged
soldiers belonging to organizations which
have monuments to be dedicated will be
furnished free transportation on the rail-
roads to and from the place at the ex-
pense of the State, providing their names
were borne upon the rolls of such organ-
ization previous to or at the date of the
battle. They have the privilege of re-
maining at Gettysburg one week and of
stopping off enroute. The Adjutant
General will furnish blanks for the re-
ception of applications and the issuance
of orders for transportation. Any per-
son who shall personate a soldier or shall
attempt to use the transportation of a
soldier, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor
and shall be fined and imprisoned.
——The Renovo News states that Miss
Mary E. Curns, daughter of W. J. Curns,
who is employed at George McNaugh-
ton’s Drury Run mill and who lives in
the same place, died on Monday after-
noon and the cause of her death is attrac-
ting no little attention in the neighbor-
hood. The young lady was about 15
years of age, came to Renovo on Thurs-
day afternoon and while at the house of
a friend drank a glass of ice water. Al-
most immediately afterwards she became
insane, was taken to her home in that
condition and remained out of her mind
up to the time of her death. The phy-
sician in charge attributes the insanity
and subsequent death of the girl to the
effect of the ice water on her brain.
