——The Jersey Shore Herald remarks
that a great deal of the corn and potatoes
planted after the fleod have grown mi-
raculously. If Jack Frost doesn’t visit
us unusually early, the corn will mature
and ripen, and the potatoes will attain |
full size.

—— There isnothing substantial in the
report published in an Altoona paper,
in the form of a dispatch from this place,
that the Bellefonte glass-works ar2 about
going into hands that will put them in
operation again. They have been sold
to John P. Harris, in part payment of |
claims against them, but no one has as
yet concluded to run them.
~——The Undine Hose Company and
the Bellefonte Cornet Band, last Satur-
day evening made an excursion to
Spring Mills where they spent a lively
evening. On the sameafternoon a Belle-
fonte baseball nine played a game with
a Spring Mills nine and scored a victory,
the figures standing 27 to 9. We regret
to learn that considerable drunkenness
prevailed at the picnic in the afternoon.
These amusements should be indulged
in without such immorality.
The funeral of the late Judge Ir-
vin, of this place, whose death was an-
nounced in last week’s issue, took place
on Saturday and was largely attended
by relatives, friends and citizens of the
town and neighborhood. The deceased
being a member of the Society of Friends,
the ceremonies were of the plain and
simple character usual among the Quak-
ers. A prayer was made, the Scriptures
read and an impressive address delivered
by Miss Mary Snowden Thomas, of
Baltimore. The remains were interred
in the Union cemetery.
At a recent birth-day party atthe
residence of Mrs. Catherine Watson of
the Walker settlement, in celebration of
her 77th year, there were sixty-five of
Ler. relatives and neighlors present, in-
cluding four sons and six daughters, four
sons-in-law and four daughters-in-law,
twenty-seven grand children and six
gréat-grand-children. She 1s the mother
of sixteen children, twelve of whom are
now living. She is also the grandmother
of sixty-four grand-children and has
twenty-two great grand children.
——Among the camping parties that
have resorted to the well known Cherry
Run grounds, on the Lemont railroad,
this season, was one this week from
Bellefonte managed by Miss Minnie
Brew who had under her charge Misses
tosie Fox, Jennie Lukenbach, Emma
Montgomery, Jennie Strickland, Katie
Jullock, Stella Armor, Sadie Malin, of
Bellefonte,and Miss Caldwell, of Tyrone,
and Messrs. Frank Lukenbach, James
Harris, Charley Cruse, Harry Jenkins,
Sam Nevling and Charley Noll. They
are said to have had a delightful time in
their camp experience.
The storm last week was very se-
vere in a portion of the lower end of
Clinton county and at Oak Grove,on the
Beech Creek railroad, was particularly
heavy and cestructive. For about
‘ve minutes hail fell thickly, the size of
the stones being that of hickory nuts.
As a result the tobac:o crop is ruined,
and some farmers who had nothing but
tobacco have lost their summer's work.
The peaches were also badly damaged,
and the corn cut up some butnot enough
to hurt it much. It was the worst hail
storm that had visited that section for
many years. The estimated loss is
about $10,000.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE FURNACE OF
iL THE BELLEFONTE FURNACE COMPANY.
t —It is now alittle move than a year and
| a halfsince the furnace of the Bellefonte
| Furnace Company, more popularly
| known as Collins's, was started as an ex-
periment in making iron from the hemi-
tite ore of Centre county with coke,char-
coal having previously been used exclu-
| sively as fuel in sinelting this ore. The
| experiment has proved a splendid success,
™ | every expectation of favorable results
having been fully realized. More than
40,000 tons of pig metal have been made,
which has been recognized as a standard
brand in the market and for which there
» isa demand in all parts of the country,
‘some of the customers of the company
. being in the New England states. Of
- the great amount of metal turned out
there remain to-day less than 500 tons
on hand, with 4000 tons sold ahead, all of
! which will be delivered before the first
"of October.
We, having already given a detailed
description of these works, would now
speak of the extensive and important im-
‘ provements that have been made during
the present summer for the purpose of fa-
| cilitating their operations and increasing
| their capacity. The pumping station
‘along Spring Creek has been entirely re-
moved, the pumps having been placed
| near the furnace where they are worked
by steam taken directly from the boilers
that supply the steam for the furnace
‘engines. The water is now pumped
| from a basin which holds 400,000 gal-
‘lons and is located within a hundred
| yards of the furnace, the pumps being
| placed right at its margin. They throw
| the water from this to the reservoir on
| the hill and from there it comes down
| by its own gravity tosupply the wants of
the furnace. After serving this purpose,
| the object of its use being to keep the
tuyeres cool, it flows back into the basin
from which it was originally taken, to
be pumped up again into the reservoir
on the hill, thus being used over again,
with a wastage of about 10 per cent.
This wastage is supplied from a receiv-
ing basin into which water from Buffa-
lo Run flows through a four inch pipe,
the receiver being located some distance
from the main basin. In it the water is
purified by passing through a fine wire
sieve and by settling before it flows into
the main basin by its own gravity at a
fall of one foot in the hundred. By this
arrangement the wastageis restored with
entirely clean and pure water. In case
Buffalo Run should be muddy commu-
nication can be entirely shut off, there
being amply sufficient water in the main
basin to supply the works for twenty-
four hours. The amount of water used
in the operations of a first-class modern
furnace is really astonishing. Between
350,000 and 375,000 gallons are required
daily by the furnace of which we are
speaking, it being used to supply a
stream through the tuyeres to keep them
cool, otherwise the heat of the hot-blast,
which is 1200 degrees, would burn them
out, and it is also used in cooling the
valves in the hot blast.
In addition to these improvements in
the water supply, a new battery of boil-
ers, of two hundred horse power, is being
added to the old one. The object of
these new boilers is to furnish steam for
the pumps and for the working of an
English compresser which is intend to
work by compressed air the limestone
crusher at the quarry some 1500 feel
from the furnace. This new appliance
will crush about 600 tons of limestone a
day. Besides crushing the stone this
air power will do the drilling in the
quarry which has heretofore been done
by hand. In addition to supplying the
furnace with limestone by this means,
some 8 to 10 cars of bastard limestone
per day are crushed for the Pennsylva-
nia railroad company to be used as bal-
last.
Another great improvement has been
made by excavating the hill back of the
furnace and erecting trestles by which
room has been provided for storing 5000
tons of oreand 1500 tons of coke. The ore
will be stored there in the summer time
in order to enable the operations at the
ore banks to be discontinued during the
winter when it is unprofitable to work
them. The material taken from this
excavation has been dumged in froat of
the casting house and leveled off, there-
by largely increasing the yard room.
The iron is now taken from the pig beds
and broken at the door of the casting
house where it 1s graded and loaded di-
rectly into the ears, or piled there if im-
mediate shipment is not desired. This
arrangement saves much handling and
considerable expense.
From this account it will be seen that
the Bell-fonte Furnace Company is
avuilingitself of every improvement and
taking advantage of every approved
means of facilitating its work. This
progressive disposition, together with in-
telligent and energetic managem nt, has
secured for it the splendid success that
has attended its operations.
——There will be a parade and pic-
nic of the patriotic Order of Sons of
America of Centre and Clinton counties
at Eagleville on Thursday, the 5th of
September. The picnic will be in Her-
ring’s grove in the afternoon when

tendance had a delightful time in the
grove up the Buffalo Run railroad that is
popularly used for that purpose.
——The Philipsburg Journal says
that another new industry is knocking
for admission into the industrial circles
of that place. Without mentioning
what kind it is,that paper says, will give
employment to over 150 hands and will
increase the population at least 500,
with an expenditure of not less than
$1,500 per week to be distributed among
the merchants, in addition to other ben-
efits which trust necessarily accrue frem
its introduction.
——The Prohibitionists of Centre
county held a convention at Unionville
on Tuesday to elect delegates to a State
convention soon to be held. The follow-
ing gentlemen were elected to serve in
that capacity: F. Potts Green and A.
J. Cook of Bellefonte ; Rev. J. A. Zeig-
ler, of Snow Shoe; Rev. Bouse, of Miles-
burg; Clevan Dinges, of Centre Hall;
A. K. Feltonand J. B. Kern, of Philips-
burg.
——Edward XK. Rhoads, whose adver-
tisement appears elsewhere in to days
paper and who has for years been in
the employ of Lawrence L. Brown, as
book-keeper has purchased the inter-
ests of Mr. Brown in the Coal and
Grain trade and will hereafter conduct
the business himself at the old stand.
Mr. Rhoads is a young man of good
business habits,always found at his post,
and hopes by fair dealing and prompt
delivery to receive a full share of the
public patronage. He pays the highest
market price in cash for all kind of
grain and baled hay.
——Numberless sad particulars of the
Johnstown flood have been writteu and
related, but it is only now that some of
the ludicrous incidents are coming to
the surface. Hereis a good one: A sa-
loon-keeper, who, with his colored bar-
tender, had taken refuge on the roof of
his building, wasso impressed with the
awfulness of the situation that he appeal-
ed to his bartender to pray for both, as
he (the saloon keeper) did not know
how to pray. The bartender prayed, “Oh
Lord, it you ever saved a nigger and a
Dutchman, save us know,’> They were
saved.
——Three young girls of Huntingdon
narrowly escaped meeting an awful
death last Sunday. They were the
Misses Kline, Stine, and a young lady
visitor, all being at the house of the for-
mer. About 7.30 o’clock fearful screams
were heard issuing from the neighbor-
hood of a sink on Mr. Kline’s premises,
on Mifflin street, and those who first
reached the scene found that the young
girls had fallen through the floor of the
sink and ,were then almost suffocated.
It was with great diffculty that they
were finally rescued.
——A series of entertainments are in
contemplation for the coming season by
the ladies of the Presbyterian church of
this place. First will be a chicken and
waffle supper in September managed by
Mrs. John Rankin and Mrs. John T.
Johnson; a concert in October under
the management of Mrs. L. L. Brown;
an entertainment in November of which
Mrs. James Potter and Mrs. Geo. Potter
will be the presiding spirits ; December
will have a fair controlled by Misses
Mary Thomas and Nellie Boal, and en-
tertainments will be managed in January
by Mrs. J. C. Weaver and Mis. J. A.
Aikens, in February by Mrs. J. W.
Gephart and Miss Jane McCalmont,and
in March by Mrs. Alexander and Mrs.
Shaffer. This is said to be the pro-,
gramme at present, and it is to be hoped
that it will be carried through wtah suc-
——One day last week Jas. Knowles
died very suddenly at his home at Point
Lookout, near Philipsburg, at the age of
39, from the effects of alcoholic poison-
ing. He had worked all day at Gow-
land’s machine shop, says the Ledger,
where he was employed as head moulder.
During the evening he indulged very
freely in intoxicants, and about eleven
o'clock was taken with severe cramps.
A physician was sent for,and everything
that medical skill could do was done for
his welfare, but without avail. He lin-
gered in terrible agony until 6 o’clock
next morning, when death relieved him
of his sufferings. He was a first-class
moulder,and his death is greatly lament-
ed by his employers. He leaves a wife
and seven children to mourn his sudden
death. :
All are cordially invited to attend. |

and profitable with very little expense.
Good water and substantial boarding
will be in abundance.
A great variety of farming imple-
ments and all kinds of machinery will
be on exhibition, besides a half dozen of
the leading Philadelphia houses will
have complete sample stores on the

The cost of the latter is $2 and $3, ac-
cording to size.
Gen'l Fisher, of Chester county, Col.
Brigham, Grand Mogul ot the Order,
Mortimore Whitehead, of N. J., and
Hon. Mr. Brown, of York county, all
eloquent lecturers, will be there and
assist in giving interest to the occasion.
These picnics are of great benefit to our
agricalturists, for at these gatherings
they compare notes and get new ideas
as to seeds, implements, fertilizers, ete.,
and talk over the different methods of
farming ; also, the best and most profit-
able’ stock to raise. Thus by the ex-
change of views they become better ac-
| quainted with the various methods each
one applies to his or her daily work on
the farm and in the house.
A HEARTLESS RoBBERY.— Last Tues-
day evening a most cruel robbery was
committed near Collins’ furnace whereby
an Austrian named Kohlar,a hard work-
ing employee of the furnace company,
vas despoiled of the earnings of years
of toil by some sneaking thieves. He
lived with his wife in one of the com-
pany houses and kept his money in a
trunk in hissleeping room. It contain-
ed two checks for $2 : and $18, and $700
in money when on Tuesday evening it
was taken from the room, carried to a
neighboring field and rifled. Kohlar
was at work at the time and his wife
was asleep in bed. Upon awakening
during the night she found that the
trunk was gone. It was found the next
morning in the field where it had been
broken open and the contents taken.
Thirty dollars of the money was found
near by at a place where it appeared to
have been secreted, but the rest was gone.
The clothing that was in the trunk was
thrown into Buffalo Run where they were
found and recovered. There is no clue
to the parties who committed this das-
tardly robbery. From the size of the
trunk it must have taken more than one
person to carry it from the room, and
the perpetrators must have been ac-
quainted with the premises.
——1It was not so very long ago that
the people of Bellefonte were growling
at the Pennsylvania railroad company
for putting up a depot building which,
while it was in course of erection, didn’t
suit their idea of what a town of Belle-
fonte’s importance should have. The
eral. Tt was entirely too insignificant,
they said. But as it grew toward com-
pletion they began to change theiropin-
ion of it, and now, with its handsome
flower beds,it is an object of admiration.
‘Why it was only the other day that we
heard residents on High Street growling
because the big building that is being
constructed on the race will obstruct
their view of the pretty depot building
and its charming flower beds. Thus, it
is shown, how public opinion is Liable to
change.
At a meeting of the borough
council on Monday Mr. George Potter

the foot bridge spanning Spring Cre k.
Streets have been repaired at many
places and a quarry has been opened on
W. C. Heinle’s property on Bishop
street and the stone will be used in im-
proving that thoroughfare. The unsafe
condition of the inside of the Conrad
House has been reported to the fire mar-
shall. The rate of tax for the present
year was made the same as it was last
year, viz., 2 mills for borough, 3 mills
for state, and 10 mills for interest. A
light is needed on the street leading to
the car works. There is also a washout
which threatens to become worse near
the road where the white row used to be.
It was caused by heavy rains which
washed the wall away.

Lock Haven that have not yet been

was embalming the remains of Mrs.
William Searles, he was startled by three
or four rappings on the floor directly un-
derneath him, the knocks being imme-
diately followed by loud screams. What
made these knockings so peculiar was
the fact that there is no cellar under the
house. Notwithstanding his fright, Mr.
Ginter made a thorough exploration of
the premises, but found nothing that
seemed to offer any solution of the mys-
tery. The knockings and screamings
have since been repeated and mothers
and children are said to be so overcome
with nervousness and fright that they
