It was discovered by examination that
this material had formed balls in the
animals’ stomach, causing their deaths.
THe STRANGE AND RoMaNTIC CASE! ——The Philipsburg Journal is daz-
oF PAvL Gepprs.—Many of the older
citizens of Centre County will recall the |
name of Paul Geddes, who died at
Lewisburg, Union county, on the 29th
of June, 1889. His intimate acquain-
tances were familiar with a singular es-
capade in his early business life, the par-
ticulars of which were not generally
known, but which, since his death, ha
become matter for the newspapers.
Away back in the forties Paul Geddes,
who was considered a wealthy and
honorable merchant of Lewisburg, was
entrusted with $12,000 in cash to de-
liver to Philadelphia for the Lewisburg
bank. He arrived at the Merchant's
Hotel, then the leading hotel of the
city, but was never seen afterwards.
Owing to the good character he possessed,
it was promptly declared that he had
been murdered and robbed of the money,
and his wife, a daughter of General
Green, of Lewisburg, mourned him as
dead. Some years later Robert Green,a
brother-in-law of Geddes, was walking
along the streets of Sacramento, Cali-
fornia,when he espied a sign which read:
“Paul Geddes, Broker.”
He walked in, extended his hand and
said, “How are you Paul!” “How are
you, Bob,” came in response, but in-
stantly recovering himself Geddes told
Bob that he was mistaken in his man;
that he didn’t know him at all. He
would have nothing more to say to
Green and the latter walked out, think-
ing it would be well to give Geddes time
to think the matter over. The next
day he went back, but the broker's
office was closed, the sign was gone, and
Geddes was not to be found. Robert
Green wrote the particulars to his
father at Lewisburg, but he, believing
it better for people to think his son-in
law honorably dead, kept the matter a
secret within his own breast up to the
day he lay upon his death bed, and
Robert having died in California the
secret was in safe hands. Before Gen-
eral Green died, however, he placed in
the hands of a particular friend the let-
ter from his son, which had been care-
fully preserved.
Geddes went from Sacramento the
night after he met Robert Green, and
was never again heard of until one day,
about the close of the civil war, in 1865,
when he suddenly appeared at Lewis-
burg, and walked into the presence of
his wife and family. During his twenty
years’ exile Geddes had prospered. He
had become wealthy and influential in
San Francisco, and it is said was one of
the early Mayors of that city. He ap-
peared at Lewisburg loaded with his
wealth; repaid the $12,000 with which
he disappeared, including interest for
twenty years; built a luxurious home
for his family,and retired to an easy life.
Some time later, probably on account of
the odium which attached to him at
home, he secured through Hon. Simon
Cameron a position in Washington,
which he occupied for many years. At
the time of his death he was in his 79th
year.
County AND Locar FARMERS IN-
STITUTES.—The farmers » of Centre
county may be interested in the circular
which Secretary Edge, of the State
Board of Agriculture, has sent out to
the farmers of the State notifying those
who are likely to apply for county or
local farmers’ institutes that, in order to
secure precedence in the distr'bution of
the funds appropriated, all applications
must be made in writing and sent to the
Secretary before October 1, 1889. Any
applicant after that date will have to
take the risk of the appropriation having
been exhausted by previous applications.
At the October meeting of the board a
resolution will come up for final action
which proposes that in countiesin which
but one institute is held $100 will be ap-
propriated, but where two or more in-
stitutes are held in any one county $150
may be appropriated. In order that the
committee may properly arrange for the
distritution of the money appropriated
for this purpose it is desired that early
applications should be made to Secretary
Edge.
Corpse UNDER A CHICKEN CooP.—
Dr. Allport, of Philipsburg, undertook
to haul the corpse of a little mulatto boy
out from under a chicken coop the other
day. He had taken hold of the feet and
was tugging away when the ‘stift”’ turn-
ed its head and asked him what the
blank was the matter with him. The
supposed dead boy, the discovery of
whom frightened a Laurel street lady in-
to chicken fits, was one of the toughest
little kids in the place and had crawled
under the chicken coop to sleep, finding
it a cool and pleasant spot to repose in.
Dr. Allport is now in the soup.

pine squirrel was found ip its stomach.
A salmon weighing eight and one-fourth

river at Shawsville, the other day.
——The Lock Haven Express says
that the well-dressed stranger who want-
ed to sell his $15 meerschaum pipe for
$1, has been in that town. He just
needed $1 to make up a sufficient sum
of modey to pay his fare to Philadelphia,
and was compelled to sacrifice his ele-
gant pipe to raise the $1. He sold quite
a number of the pipes, and they turn
out to be a very good imitation of meer-
chaum. The same individual was in
‘Williamsport and disposed of quite a
number of his pipes in that city.
—~——The harvest of hay and wheat
just housed in this county is one of the
largest that has ever been’ put away.
In addition to being abundant in
quantity it is most excellent in quality,
the weather having been exceedingly
favorable for cutting, curing and gath-
ering. Altogether the farmers in this
section of the State have reason to be
thankful,"even if our protection system
does make them pay more for what they
have to buy then they ought, and take
less for what they have to sell than they
should.
An old man named Guthrie liv-
ing at Woodland, says the Philipsburg
Ledger, got his hand blown off in a
singular manner on the 4th of July. He
was carrying a loaded shotgun along the
road and met an acquaintance driving.
They stopped to chat and Guthrie put
his foot on the hub of the wagon wheel,
and standing the butt of the gun on the
ground, covered the muzzle with his
hand. The horse started, and Guthrie’s
foot slipping off the wheel, struck the
hammer of the gun which exploded,
mangling his hand dreadfully. He was
63 years old and ought not to have been
so careless.
——The pretty story about an infant
in its cradle having been caught in the
flood at Williamsport has been badly
spoiled. The Williamsport Republican
tells that a week ago Chief Gibson ar-
rested in White Deer Valley and
brought to Williamsport the young wo-
man who left the infant at the Home for
the Friendless, representing that it had
been caught in the flood. It was kept
quiet for the reason that a young man
who had left the city was wanted as the
putative father of the child. He was
known to have gone to Elmira. He re-
turned home Saturday and was arrested
on an information made by the mother.
——=Should Adjutant General Hast-
ings be the next Republican nominee
for Governor the Bellefonte Republican
editor would go altogether daft. He
would imagine himself not the son of a
prophet but the prophet himself, and
wouldn’texchange places with Wiggins,
the great weather indicator, whose storms
come and go just as they please, regard-
less. But Editor Tuten claims that he
has something to show, for he says the
Republican was the first paper in Penn-
sylvania to nominate both Hartranft and
Beaver and both were elected, although
the latter had to try it twice before he
made a success. The Republican says it
is a fixed fact that Hastings will be the
next Governor and so we suppose there
is no use kicking about it. Great is
Hastings, the Adjutant, and behold
Tuten is his prophet! —Lock Haven
Democrat
The Tyrone correspondent of the
Altoona Ttibune, gives the following ac-
count of the arrest of a former well
known citizen of this county, at the for-
mer place on Saturday evening last :
“Jacob M. Kepler, of the Tionesta
Herald, is unfortunately the owner of
two fine farms near Pine Grove, Centre
county. His tenants have been purchas-
ing farming implements from a party
dealing in these articles at Bellefonte.
For some reason they supposed that the
owner of the farms was responsible for
the purchases made by the tenants, and
in an effort to obtain their claims during
the visit of the owner of the farms, from
the aforesaid owner they were ejected
with some force by the owner of the
farms. They did not relish this treat-
ment and secured a warrant for the ar-
rest of the owner, of the farms and a
newspaper in Tionesta, who was over-
hauled on Saturdry at this place and
taken before Esquire Taylor, who, after
hearing the evidence, bound the afore-
said Jacob M. Kepler over in the sum
of $200 to appear and answer, C. S. W.
Jones becoming security. The next
train brought the high sheriff of Centre
county upon the ground, who demand-
ed larger bail with a threat to rearrest,
but Jake being an editor and publisher
was not to be caught with such chaff,
and actually defied the officers of the law
with success,and unmolested departed on
his homeward journey, making his exit
by fast line at 7.10. From what we can
learn we are of the opinion that the
editor and publisher of the Tionesto
Herald has possession, which is nine
tenths in law.
A Foor Story BY A FooL CORRES-
poNDENT.—Although the WATCHMAN
continuously keeps its eyes and ears both
open for the discovery of anything new
in this section of the State, it must ad-
mit that the correspondent furnishing

organization of which he writes. The
facts as given will be real news to our
readers, because it is new news. We
doubt if any of them even suspected
| that an organization of the kind men-
| tioned had existed here, and after read-
ing what is said about it, it is extremely
| doubtful if they will even suspect that
the person writing it exists hereabouts.
If he does, they can be assured of oie
| fact relating to this matter, and about
the only one there is about it, and that
is that there is a darned sight bigger fool
in this community than any one ever
The following is
imagined there was.
the idiotic story he tells:
BerueroNTE, Pa., July 19.—It has lately been
rumored around here that there is throughout
Centre county, as well as in Bellefonte, a cer-
tain secret mutual organization that preach
which they confidently believe will be next
year, 1890.
Throughout this county alone, from the most
accurate data possible to obtain, it is safe to es-
mate that there are at least 1,000 and possibly
2,000 adherents of this strange organization, if
organization itcan be termed. So far as it was
possible to penetrate into their workings, no
real perfected organization with legalized offi-
cers and appointed head could be found, but
simply a mutual association who work in great
secrecy, and who look to the most pronounced
one in their midst as the proper one to lead.
MEMBERS OF ALL SECTS.
The majority of the adherents are profess-
ors of Christianity, and members of different
denominational churches, and no special
church is represented more than another.
The Bible they take for the foundation of their
belief and the occurrences of the day as proof
that their bélief is well founded.
SIGNS OF THE END.
Most prominent among the events brought
up to prove their faith is the recent mutiplic-
ity of floods and fires, with wars and rumors of
wars, the increase of crime and disaster and
the uprising of prophets and false teachers.
The association’s work consists briefly of
preaching its doctrine and substantiating it by
practice, in making preparation for the final
dissolution of this world.
The only man who could be prevailed upon
to say much about the association and belief
was C.D. Miller, a wealthy farmer, and oné of
the strongest adherents of the belief. He
said:
A BELIEVER TALKS.
“I believe the world will come to an end in
1800, and there are hundreds of others—
more than a thousand, perhaps—throughout
this county that believe the same thing. This
belief and association has teen current for
years, and must in no wise be connected with
the prophecies of ‘Mother Shipton’ or any of
the kind. It has sprungsolely from the teach-
ings of the Bible, and every day is made more
plain and convincing by the events occurring
around us. I tell you what it is, we all want
to think less of self or accumulating money
and such other material things, and give more
attention to the preparation of ourselves for
the final dissolution which is sure to come.”
When asked as to when he first believed the
end of the world would be in 1890, he replied :
“As far back as 15 years ago I prophesied that
the end of the world would be in 1890, and that
as it neared that time the prophecies in the
Bible would be fulfilled and made plain to
everyone.”
THEY FORESAW FLOODS AND FIRES.
Mr. Miller then called attention to the re-
cent floods. “We believers in this doctrine
anticipated all the startling disasters that have
lately occurred, though, of course, we did not
know at what time or place they would occur.
But all these recent floods, large fires, earth-
quakes, railroad accidents, increase of crime,
propecies aud teachings of this later day have
all been predestinated, and are » sure sign of
the approach of the end.”
KNOW THE TIME BY INSPIRATION.
Mr. Miller could not definitely say just why
the year 1890 was set as the time for the end
of the world, but in some unaccountable way
they felt certain that was the time. Mr, Mil-
lar is a well-informed and intelligent man, and
is thoroughly sincere in‘what he teaches.
The believers’ mode of work is to preach to
their friends. The only object in view, so far
as could be learned, was to have all prepared
spiritually. In some places churches have
taken up the idea and preachers are discours-
idg over the theme to their congregations.

——The flood sufferers of Nittany
Valley are dissatisfied with the share of
the relief fund they have received. At
a public meeting held on the 15th inst.,
they complained, among other things,
that the loss of life and property in the
valley has never been properly reported
in the newspapers, most of them being
accredited to Lock Haven; that the los-
ses sustained will amount to $100,000
dollars. They alleged that of all the
funds in money donated for Lock Haven
and vicinity und received by the Relief
Committee of Lock Haven, (said to
amount to about fifty thousand dollars,)
not one dollar in money has as yet been |
received by the flood sufferers in the
Nittany Valley. Therefore they ask
that the flood relief commission of Penn-
sylvania to send whatever share of re-
lief they may be entitled to by the muni-
ficient chavities of the people of our
grand old Commonwealth direct to the
sufferers in the valley.

TERRIBLE KEROSENE ACCIDENT,
Last week one of the saddest accidents
that has appeared in the papers as re-
salting from the careless use of coal of].
occurred at Maitland, near Lewistown,
Mifflin county, which terminated in the
death of three little children. It appears
that Michael Stine, the father of the
family, was busy in the harvest ficlq
some distance away from the house.
Mrs. Stine, the mother, was confined tq
her bed by illness in a room adjoining
the kitchen. She instructed the nine
vear-old girl to make fire in the kitchen
stove proparatory to getting supper,
The girl's two sisters, aged six and three
years respectively, were with her. The
fire was stubborn and did not burn gas
rapidly as was desired and the eldest
girl procured a coal oil can and poured
some of the contents on the simmering
fire, while the other little ones stood
close by to witness the result. It imme-
diately ignited and exploded the can.
The flames and oil spread all over the
three children, when a panic among
them ensued. The mother was horror-
stricken, and while too sick to leave hep
bed, yet she went to their rescue not-
withstanding, and after putting the fire
out she rang the dinner bell and called
the workmen in, but then the children
were so horribly burned that all medical
skill could do was to alleviate the pain
until death ended their suffering.
There are excellent opportunities
offered now to buy a good farm, at alow
price, in this county. The Kauffman
farm near Zion; either of the Meyer's
farms at Linden Hall; the Bloom farm
near Pine Grove, and the Foster farm
at the State College—all advertised for
sale in the WaArTcHMAN of this week—
are desirable properties, and can be had
at a bargain.
