THINGS ABOUT TOWN & COUNTY-
——The corner stone of a new Re-
formed church will be laid at Coburn on
Sunday the 8th of September.
——Dr. J. D. Wingate, a former resi-
dent of Bellefonte, and brother-in-law
of County Superintendent Wolf, died at
Carbondale last week.
—It is reported that Rev. Z. A.
Yearick, of the Reformed church at
Aaronsburg, has accepted a call to
preach at Mercersburg, where he will go
about the 1st of October.
——J. W. Gephart, Esq., returned
home on Monday evening from his Eu-
ropean trip which included an attend-
ance at the World's Sunday School Con-
vention in London and a visit to the
Exposition in Paris.
Assistant Bishop Rulison, of the
Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsyl-
vania, will visit the Episcopal parish in
this place next Monday and administer
the rite of confirmation to a large class
of candidates for admission into the
chuzch.
——The best yield of oats, by the
dozen of sheaves, that we have heard of
the present season, is that of Mr. Isaac
T. Behers of Half Moon, who threshed
35 dozen one day last week, from which
he had 80 bushels.
Some days ago Fish Romig, of
Rebersburg, before engaging in a game
of ball tock off his vest, which contain-
ed a gold watch,and laid it down. When
the game was over and he put on his
vest he found that the watch had disap-
peared.
——Mis. Ed. Smith, of Farrandsville,
on Saturday afternoon killed a big rat-
tlesrake right at her back door, where
her children” were playing at the time.
The reptile probably in a moment more
would have gotten in his deadly work
on one or more of the little ones.
——~Quite a notable wedding occurred
one day last week at Boalsburg in the
marriage Mr D. E. Kreamer to Miss
Annie Condo at the home of the grand-
father of the bride, Mr. James Price.
There were sixty-five wedding guests,
some of whom were from Bellefon‘e and
Milesburg.
——There will be a festival held on
the ground of the new church at Mt.
Eagle, Saturday August 31st, afternoon
and evening. Benefit for the new Chris-
tian church. A cornet band will be in
attendance. The public is cordially in-
vited to attend. By order of Superin-
tendent.
——Complaints are made that the law
protecting game, song and insectivorous
birds is being openly and wantonly vio-
lated by boys and pot-hunters of a
larger growth in this section of the
country. These violators of the law
should be looked after and proper pun-
izhment meted out to them.
R. M. Magee, Esq., formerly of
this place, at present in Philadelphia,
- greeted his many friends here about on
Tuesday last. Mr. Magee is still sue-
cessfully managing that popular Life
Insurance Company—the Brooklyn
—in Pennsylvania, but don’t like Phila-
delphia as a place of 1esidence as well as
his former home.
Mr. Themas Farley, of Brook-
ville, Jefferson county, brother of Mrs.
James Caldwell, of this place, died snd-
denly last Saturday from an attack of
theumatism of the heart. Ashe was a
man of unusually good health, never
having known a day’s sickness in his
lite, his sudden death was a great shock
to his friends in this place.
The coroner's jury that “sat on”
the body of Charles Campi, a Swede,
recently discovered in Hayes Run, near
Eagleville, decided that his death came
from accidental drowning, although at
first there was a suspicion of foul play.
He had gone in swimming with a com-
panion, and in getting beyond his depth
it is supposed he was drowred, and his
companion disappeared. His body was
found and the inquest held upon it the
same day. The remains were interred
at Eagleville, the Luthern minister of
that place officiating.
——A letter has been received in this
place directed to the Board of Trade, an
‘organization, however, which has but
an imaginary existence, inquiring what
inducements would be held out by the
people of Bellefonte for the removal of
-a shoe manufacturing establishment
from Philadelphia to this place, that
will employ 150 hands and add about
450 people to our population. It is
signed by J. E. Sollers, of the Sollers
shoe Manufactuing Company. If it is
shown that this is a bona Jide offer and
the proposals made are reasonable, it
should meet with encouragement on the
part of our people.
A DISTRESSING FATAL ACCIDENT. —
It is not often that we arccalled upon to
give the particulars of so distressing a
fatal accident as that which happened on
Wednesday afternoon to young Lorie
Heisler, son of Mr. Charles Heisler, of
this place, while he was assisting to load
a large boiler on a car at W. B. Mait-
land's boiler works. The boiler, which
was of great weight, was being rolled up
onto a car by means of a rope and an in-
cline made of heavy timbers. As it
progressed up this inclined plane Lorie’s
duty was to plaze blocks in position to
keep it from rolling back. He wat en-
joined to be careful as the work was dan-
gerous. But unfortunately proper care
was not exercised. The rope slipped,
the Llocks were unavailing in keeping
the ponderous mass from rolling down,
and the head of the poor boy was caught
between the skids and the boiler and lit-
erally mashed. Death was instanta-
neous, the body, which was otherwise un-
injured, falling to the ground between
the timbers. It was taken to the boiler
shop of Mr. Maitland where a coroner's
inquest was held. The unfortunate boy
was only about 14 years of age, bright
and industrious, and was regularly em-
ployed at the shop. What makes his
sad death peculiarly distressing is the
fact that he was the only child, of his par-
ents, who have the heartfelt sympa-
thy ofthis entire community.
The following 1s the report of the
inquest :
STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA. } 5a
CENTRE COUNTY iE
An inquisition indented and taken at Belle-
fonte in the county of Centre On the 27th day
of August, A, D. 1889, before me, Samuel Fos-
ter, J. P., of the county aforesaid, upon the
view of the body of Lorie Heisler, then and
therelying dead. Upon the oaths of S. A. Me-
Quistion, H. C. Crissman, H. D. Landis, Charles
Beezer, Lafayette Mulhollen and Lawrence
Fusser, six good and lawful men aforesaid,who,
being sworn to inquire on the part of the Com-
monwealth, when, where, how and after what
manner the said Lorie Heisler came to his
death, do say upon their oaths, that the said
Lorie Heisler came to his death by accident
while helping to load a boiler at the Bellefonte
Boiler Works, the rope having slipped while
loading the said boiler, and the said Lorie
Heisler being caught between the boiler and
the skid, thus crushing the top of his head, and
casing instant death. They further report
thas after hearing considerable evidence, they
find that Wm. Maitland, the proprietor of the
Boiler Works, was very careful in the manage-
ment of his works, and that he frequently cau-
tioned the said Lorie Heisler to be very care-
ful about accidents happening him; and we
find that the said Wm. Maitland is in no way
responsible for any negligence, and that the
death of Lorie Heisler was purely an accident.
In witness whereof as well the aforesaid
Justice of the Peace as the jurors aforesaid,
have to this inquisition put their hands and
seals on the day and year and at the place first
above mentioned. Samuern F. ZOSTER, J* P., S.

The bucktail reunion at Philips-
burg last week was a great success, af-
fording much pleasure and satisfaction
not only to the veterans who participat-
ed in it, but also to the large number of
citizens who took an intersst in the pro-
ceedings. On Wednesday the following
officers;were elected for the ensuing year:
President, W. R. Hartshorn, Curwens-
ville; Vice President, J. V. Morgan,
ound Top; Treasurer, E. A. Irvin,
Curwensville and Secretary W. H.
Rauch, Philadelphia. At the public
meeting in the opera house in the even-
ing the Bucktails were welcomed by a
crowded and enthusiastic audience. The
stage was handsomely decorated with
bunting and flags, and was occupied by
representative men of other regiments,
and others, and also ladies of the'Sheridan
Circle. Among those of the former
were: Major Wolfe, W. E. Landon,
Judge Munson, Capt. C. T. Fryberger,
Rev. Dr. Clerc, Burgess John Gowland,
W. H. Bryson, Dr. Humphreys, Col.
Ed. Irvin, Hon. H. H. Brown,S. Jewitt,
A. J. Graham,—Apley, and Capt. Mey-
ers. Capt. C. T. Fryberger presided
and greeted the veterans, to which Col.
B. A. Irvin, of Curwensville, responded.
On Thursday evening many of the old
soldiers went to Clearfield and Curwens-
ville to participate in the festivities
which had been prepared for them at
those places.
——Charles Noll, son of Mr. John
Noll, of this place, who is connected
with the telephone service in Lock Ha-
ven, met with an accident in the latter
place last Saturday morning that nearly
proved fatal. The line running to the
new Normal School building having be-
come crossed by telegraph wires he was
sent to discover where the difficulty was.
He climbed a pole and was engaged in
separating the wires when the pole broke
off near the ground, carrying the young
man with it. Tt fell upon him, knock-
ing him senseless. Upon his being
taken to the office of Dr. Watson, where
his wounds were dressed, it was found
that his jaw was broken and he was
otherwise seriously bruised. Fears were
entertained that he was injured inter-
nally. He was brought to his home in
Bellefonte on Monday and his attending
physician is hopeful that he will bring
him out sll right again. Young Noll is
an intelligent young man who graduated
at the Bellefonte high School last spring,
and had gone to Lock Haven about six
weeks ago to take a position in the tele-
phone office at that place.
——Another camp of the Patriotic
Order of Sons of America has been or-
ganized in this county at Sandy Ridge,
Tur CENTRE CoUuNTY PROHIBITION-
ISTS. We last week briefly alluded
to the convention of the Prohibitionists
of Centre county held at Unionville on
the 20th inst., and gave the names of
the gentlemen who were selected to act
as delegates to the Prohibition State
convention. After the report of the fi-
nance committee which showed that
their accounts were square,it was decid-
ed to pledge $25 for State work in the
county. The resolutions, expressing the
feelings of the Prohibitionists after the
great defeat of the 18th of June, were,
however, the most interesting feature of
the proceedings, and we give them as
follows :
We, representatives and members of the Pro-
hibition party in Centre county, in convention
assembled, this 20th day of August, 1839, do
hereby declare the following, to wit:
WHEREAS, nonpartisan Prohibition by Con-
stitutional Amendment has, within the last
three years, suffered eight successive defeats
in as many different states; in addition to
which the repeal of the Amendment in Rhode
Island demonstrates beyond cavil that Prohi-
bition without a prohibitory party behind it is
impracticable ; and,
WuEerEas, The Republican, the only old par-
ty even laying claim to sympathy with our
cause, has in its recent State convention de-
clared for high license, ignoring even a pro-
mise of Local Option to the twenty-nine coun-
ties giving majorities for the Amendment ;
thus, and in numerous other ways, furnishing
convineing proof that the liquor men remain
in, and continue to dictate the policy not only
of the Democratic but of the Republican party.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, First, That we deem it the height
of folly to try to convert a party from the er-
ror of its ways by remaining in said party and
supporting its policy as dictated by the ene-
mies of our cause.
Second, That if High License, as claimed,
was a step toward prohibition, it should have
insured instead of prevented the success of
the next and final step, on the 18th of June
last.
Third, That however pronounced in their
temperance views the nominees of the old
parties may be, they are unworthy of our sup-
port, because placed in nomination by powers
already in affiliation with liquor men: hence,
their personal views and temperate habits can-
not consistently command our suffrage, for in
electing them to office we raise into power
their party, and consequently a liquor party
the dictates of which they are pledged to obey.
Fourth, That in County, State and Nation we
will persistently and earnestly, by voice and
by vote, support that party and that party on-
ly which by the liquor dealers is avoided and
feared and by the old party leaders is spurn-
ed and ridiculed, while its votes are coveted
and its voters if possible bribed ; knowing
that in this course we are right because we are
acting contrary to the wishes of the foe we en-
counter. :
Fifth, That in view of the treachery of the
Republican leaders of our State in submitting
the amendment to hold the temperance vote,
and enacting so-called “high license” to effect
its defeat when submitted, allowing a defect
which gave the Supreme Court a pretext
to nullify the best provision of said law im-
mediately after it had subserved its purpose
in defeating the Amendment, and now auda-
ciously thrusting us aside with a proposal to
remedy said defeat, which they can not even
pretend to accomplish for at least a year and a
half—in view of all this, it behooves us as good
citizens of the Old Keystone State to make
our Commonweathin fact as well as in name
the keystone of the arch that shall bridge the
chasm into which our Nation must inevitably
plunge, if corrupt politicians, under the lash
of the whiskey oligarchy, shall continue to
rule.
Sixth, That while we may honestly differ as
to minor points we should be willing, for the
sake of harmony on these points, that the ma-
jority should rule; remembering that unlike
either of the old parties we have at least one
issue on which we all agree ; that issue is Pro-
hibition. And we invite to full party fellow-
ship all who on this one dominant issue are
with us agreed, believing that- our party can
and will remove sectional differences, promote
national unity. and insure the best welfare of
our county, State and Nation.
Seventh, That this convention appoint a com.
mittee of three to formulate rules for adoption
at our next nominating convention, for the
future government of our county conventions
and delegate elections.

The apparatus for the production
of gas at the Bellefonte Nail Works is
nearly completed. Its object is to fur-
nish a fuel for the operation of the
works that will be more economical and
effective than bituminous coal in its
crude state. In the old method of burn-
ing coal under boilers and in puddling
furnaces a large percentage of its heat-
ing properties -is wasted, but this loss
will be saved by converting it into gas
and using the latter for fuel. A surplus
of production can be stored in tanks
and used when required. There will
be no smoke arising from its combustion,
nor will any smoke be produced by the
process of converting the coal into gas.
Itis pretty much on the same principle
as the fuel furnished by the natural gas
wells. It has been suggested that this
gas could be used in operating the glass
works, and might be instrumental in re-
viving that suspended enterprise.
——The public school teachers of
Bellefonte are preparing to begin their
fall and winter campaign. The schools
in the Allegheny street stone building
will open on Wednesday, September 11,
and all in the Bishop street building ex-
cept the High School, will begin on
Thursday, the 12th. The fall term of
the High #chool will commence on Mon-
day, September 23. For some of the
schools the term during the year has
been extended to nine months. This in-
cludes the Primary and Firs t Intermedi-
ate grades.
One day last week W. C. Kress,
Esq., a prominent lawyer of Lock Ha-
ven, had a slight stroke of paralysis at
Jamestown, Dakota, where he was visit-
ing. It partially disabled his left arm,
side and leg.
——No preparations appear to have
been made in this place for the observ-
ance of Labor Day, which comes next
Monday, September 2nd.
——It is ramored thatthe owners of
the Williamsport Git contemplate a
dissolution of partnership, and that Mr.
Rianhard offers $30,000 for the interest
of the Lamade Brothers, or will take
$15,000 for his own interest. In the
event of the latter’s withdrawal he may
go into business in Springfield, Ohio, or
Rochester, New York.

——The people of the town. of Lamar
in Clinton county, being ambitious of
having a boardwalk along their princi-
pal thoroughfare, adopted the novel me-
thod of raising the money for that pur-
pose by holding a festival which came
off last Saturday and was attended by a
large number of people from the neigh-
borhood. An excursion went trom
Milesburg attended by the band of that
place.
The Educarional News, in regret-
ting that Prof. George P. Bible is no
longer connected with the Lock Haven
Normal School, says: Mr. Bible will
not be connected with any normal school
this year, but will reside in Lock Haven
and havea class in elocution and will do
his usual work at the county institutes.
He has heretofore been a drawing card
for school institutes and societies and
will doubtless so continue.
KNIGHTS oF THE GOLDEN EAGLE. —
Next Monday, September 2nd, there
will be a reunion of the Knights of the
Golden Eagle at Lewisburg, A parade
will come off at 10’ clock p. m. A
number of Castles from a distance will
be in attendance, and many prominent
State officers will be there. Arrange-
ments have been made for excursion
trains on the railroads. A special will
be run to Spring Mills, leaving Lewis-
burg at 10 p. m.
Miss Nora McClain, daughter of
Mrs. McClain, a resident of Allegheny
street, this place, died last week at
Mount Saint Vincent Convent near
New York, of which she had been an
inmate for some years as one of the sis-
ters under the name of Mary Alma:
She was but 27 years of age although
she had been in the convent for about
eleven years engaged in the humane
work in’which the sisters are so efficient.
In addition to her mother, her sister El-
la resides in Bellefonte. The death of
this exemplary young lady who at so
early an agedevoted her life to the cause
of religion and charity, abandoning
pleasures that are so seductive to the
young, has been a severe stroke to those
to whom she had endeared herself by
her many excellent qualities. She will
be greatly missed in the sisterhood of
which she had become so devoted a
member.
A ProMpr INSURANCE COMPANY.—
The following which we get from the
Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin is
but a repetition of the prompt manner
in which the Brooklyn Life Insurance
company has always been noted for
doing its business. That paper says:
R. M. Magee, Esq., manager of agen-
cies for Pennsylvania for Brooklyn Life
Insurance Company, New York, was
in the city yesterday, to pay to the wid-
ow of Hon. Hugh H. Cummin, $5,856.-
40, although the claim would not have
been due until the 23d of October. In
addition, the proofs of the claim were
not presented to the company until yes-
terday morning. That this is prompt
payment and a cradit to the company
cannot be disputed. The accumulation
or profit in this case was $856.40, being
36 per cent. of the entire amount paid
in.
——A singular shooting ease, and one
that might have had fatal consequences,
but fortunately didn’t, oecurred in Lock
Haven last Sunday night. It appears
that Nelson Vanatta, living on Peach
street, was about going to bed and
picked up a loaded self-cocking bull-dog
revolver to remove it to another place
from where it had been lying. While
looking at it one of his fingers in some
way became entangled in the trigger
and it went off, the ball going through
the window and entering the kitchen
window of the Rathgeber house just
after that individual had entered the
door with a bucket of water in his hand.
The ball struck Mr. Rathgeber in the
breast near the heart, making a large
hole, but Dr. Ball says it struck a rib or
bone and was repelled and bounded out
again, a fact that undoubtedly saved
Rathberger’s life. When the pistol went
off Vanatta was in the up stairs room
over his kitchen. The distance between
the two houses is very considerable.
The next morning Mr. Rathgeber suf-
fered a good deal of pain where the bul-
let struck him, but beyond that there
was noserious injury. This was another
warning against the careless handling of
fire arms.

should, as much as possible, be engaged
in advance. All tents will be put up by
committee ready for tent holders on ar-

feet long overhung with rock and orna-
mented by beautiful stalactites.
Hoping to hear from you early as to
number of tents wanted.

CENTRE HALL, Pa.
Passengers on Day Express, due
at Philipsburg at 4.30 p. m. on Thurs-
day of last week, made a narrow escape
from instant death, says the Ledger of
that place. As the train was rapidly
rounding the last curve on the south
side of the big fill, the locomotive jump-
ed the track and ploughed into the
bank on the right hand side of the road,
only escaping being plunged down that
terrible embankment by about two feet.
The passengers were thrown from their
seats and the cars instantly filled with
steam, smoke and dust. The terror and
consternation which followed can easily
be imagined. From 15 to 20 Philips-
burgers were on the train, returning
from camp meeting, and they hadn’t yet
recovered from their fright on reaching
town at 6 o'clock. ;

erhoff, is in Milwaukee this week attend-
ing the convention of the G. A. R. as

Tribute of Respect,
Sxow Snok Aug. 23rd, 1889.
The committee appointed by Snow Shoe, No.
2261. 0. O. F. to draft resolutions concerning /
the death of our worthy brother, Mitchell Lu-
cas, reports as follows :
Waereas, death has invaded our beloved
order, and broken a link that binds our frater-
ity in Friendship, Love and Truth, when our
worthy brother was stricken down in the
prime of life;
ANp Wueneas, the demise of brother
Mitchell Lueas should admonish us to so con-
duet our lives that our works of love and char-
ity will remain bright lights to guide future
generations long after our bodies return to their
native dust;
Wuereas. In accordance with the inevitable i
laws of] nature our beloved brother, Mitehell
Lueas, a worthy member of Snow Show Lodge,
No, 226 I. 0. O. F. departed this life August
16th, 1889, in the 31st year and 2 days of his
age,
Resolved, That while we mourn his loss we
will cherish his memory, and try to imitate his
good acts during his sojourn among us; that
we tender to the mother and friends of our
late brother our sympathy in this bereavement
and commend them to the care and protection

» Ourdarling’s crib is empty now, /
iy little voice is hushed, ; f
The tiny form lies silent |
With flowers strewn on its breast. \
How we miss our darling baby, 7
Sad and lonely is our home,
It was God who gave him to us,
He hath taken but his own.
