THINGS ABOUT TOWN & COUNTY-

keeping up, as train loads from the
‘West are being broughtin to break the

be reopened with appropiate services on
Sunday morning at 10a. m., November

present and assist in the cermonies.
——The report of oil being struck at
Huntingdon turns out to be a joke. It
was stated that indrilling a well for wa-
ter for the Gondola Tanning Works a
copious flow of oil was developed. It
appears that while tke drillers were ab-
sent the foreman poured some oil down
the holeand hence the excitment.
— Elmer Solomon, a Williamsport
plasterer, was halted on Washington

the trigger was touched and the gun
went off, the shot entering Mr. McPher-
son’s face below the right eye. He was
found and taken home but died early
on Thursday night.
——The Sugar Valley Journal says:
—Work on the Bellefonte and Eastern
Railway has been suspended for the
present for obvious reasons, and the
Italians have gone to a new field of la-
bor. The work, however, will be re-
sumed early next Spring, when the pro-
jectors will be better prepared to push
the work through to completion. By
this time next Fall we hope to see the
road completely finished and in actual
operation. :
A special telegram from Hynd-
man, Bedford county, says: A serious

Savage Fire Brick Company, Saturday
morning. William Bush was crushed
in the mine, and was being taken home
by eight other men* Bush was placed
in a clay car with the other men and
landed safely at the bottom of the i:.-
cline plana. From there to the rail-
road there is a tramway, and while they
were going over this control of the ca
was lost. Thomas Shaffer jumped from
the car and was fatally injured. Ed

Charles Brantler and oJ. Grim were seri-
ously and the others slightly injured.
DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED NATIVE
or CenTrRE CouNty.—Col. John H.
Stover, a former Centre county resident,
died at Aurora Spring, Missouri, on the
27th ult. The following account of his
career we take from the Versailles
Statesman, a paper published in the
county in Missouri of which he was
long a citizen. It is interesting~as a
record of one of the distinguished sons
of Centre county :
Col. Stover was born in Centre coun-
ty Pennsylvania, in 1833, was educated
at the public schools of Centre county
and at Central Academy, Juniata coun-
ty, Pennsylvania. Was admitted to
the bar in 1857 in Bellefonte, Pennsyl-
vania, where he resided and practiced
law until the firing on Fort Sumpter, at
which time he enlisted in the 2nd Penn.
Infantry for the three months service.
He soon after, by the advice of Gov:
Curtin, raised Co. B of the 10th Penn.
Infantry, and was made Captain of the
same. Col. Stover was afterward ap-
pointed Major of the 106th Pennsyl-
vania Infantry. In 1864 he was ap-
pointed Colonel of thh 184th Regiment
of the Pennsylvania Infantry. He was
in the battles of Falling Water, Va., al-
30 in the battles of Savage Station,
Peach Orchard, Glendale, Malvern
Hill, Antietam ; at the last named bat-
tle he received seven bullet holes through
his clothes. He was at the first and
second battles of Fredericksburg, Get-
tysburg, Robinson’s Tavern, Mine Run
and in the battles before Petersburg.
He was present at the capture of Gener-
al Lee. Col. Stover was in command
of the 69th, 71st, and 72nd, Penn. Infan-
tries at various times. He was muster-
ed out at the grand review at Washing-
ton, in 1865 and was at the time in com-
mand the 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division.
He returned after the war to Pennsyl-
vania, where he remained but a short
time, and then moved to Versailles,
Morgan county, Mo. In 1868 he was
elected to Congress. In 1870 he receiv-
ed the nomination of Secretary of State,
but owing to a split in the Republican
party was defeated. In 1872 he was
nominated by the Republicans for Lieu-
tenant-Governor. In 1876 he was ap-
pointed Commissioner to the Centen-
nial Exposition, by Gov. Woodson, and
in the fall of the same year was again
nominated by his party for Congress,
against his protest on account of ill
health, and was defeated by Gov. Crit-
tenden. Col. Stover was a member of
Samuel McClure Post, No. 145, G.A.R.
department of Missouri, also a member
of A. F. & A.M. He was married in
Centre county, Penn., December 31st,
1865, to Missi§Mary Ellen Hoover.—He
was a member of the Evangelical Luth-
eran church.
A Boy ACCIDENTALLY SHooTs Him-
sELF.—The Renovo News of Saturday,
says that Calvin B. Shearer, a 13-year
old boy, was the unfortunate victim of a
shooting accident that morning at about
11:30 o'clock. Calvin procured an old
revolver which had been lying for more
than a year in a cupboard at his home
on Fourth street and went to the bank
of the river at the foot of Third street,
where he loaded one of the chambers
with a twenty-two calibre cartridge
which he obtained from a young com-
panion. The cylinder of the weapon is
broken and rusted from long disuse, and
the boy found it impossible to get the
cartridge in its proper position at the
barrel. He raised the trigger of the re-
volver, however, and fired at the ground.
The ball passed out at the side of the
barrel and struck the boy in the lower
part of the addomen. He cast the wea-
pon away and managed to reach the
home of his aunt, Mrs. Flemming, who
lives on St. Clair avenue, near Trinity
church. The injured boy was about
exhausted by this walk of about two

the accident. Dr. W. E. Hall was im-
mediately summoned. The doctor
probed the wound in search of the ball,
but was unsuccessful in the attempt to
remove it. The wound was dressed and
the doctor anticipates no serious conse-
quences unless reaction sets in.
CLEARING OUT THE PEDDLERS.—A
dispatch from Philipsburg to the Al-
toona Tribune says that the action taken
by the Philipsburg board of trade last
Friday is stirring up quite a commotion
among the pack peddlers, who ply their-
vocation in the country surrounding that
place. For a year past the number of
these peddlers have so increased as to
materiaily affect the business of legiti-
mate merchandising in that and other
towns in the neighborhood, and it was
with a considerable degree of reluctance
the merchants finally concluded that
they would have to take measures to
check the practice or they themeelves
go under. At the last meeting the
board hired John M. Click, at a salary
of $50 a month, to keep a close watch
on all peddlers, and wherever he found
a person selling goods without a county
license he was to notify the board, when
a warrant would at once be issued and
the person arrested. It is likely the ac-
tion of the Philipsburg hoard of trade
will be followed by the Houtzdale board.
It looks very much as if the pack-ped-
dlers would have to go back to Tioga,
——An attempt was made Sunday
morning to rob the house of Hiram H.
Ulman in Williamsport by chloroform-
ing the servants two of whom were made
sick by the drug. But the attempt to
rob was a tailure.
—— Among the numerous useful in-
ventions of Mr. George W. Rogers, of
this place, is a self-closing hydrant, late-
ly patented, that will not leak or freeze
up. One of them has been placed at
the foot of Lamb street where it can be
seen in daily use.
Some days ago at Jersey Shore
junction a Miss Kable, aged about six-
teen years, was thrown from a wagon,
run over and probably fatally injured.
She was in the act of getting into the
wagon when her sister touched the
horses lightly with a whip, causing
them tojerk suddenly. Miss Kable was
thrown forward under the wheel. She
was taken home in an unconscious con-
dition, and at last accounts was reported
very low.
John Kissel, who has been run-
ning a canal boat for W. L. Garverich
of Jersey Shore, committed suicide at
Milton one evening last by taking a
dose of aconite. He went to a drug
store and asked for an ounce bottle of
the deadly poison, saying that he want-
ed it to kiil a worthless mule. Instead of
giving it to the mule, took it himself and
died half an hour afterward. On being
notified, Mr. Garverich went down on
the midnight train and brought the
body to Jersey Shore.
——A party of railroad engineers,
says the Lock Haven Express, “are now
engaged in making a survey for a new
railrcad which is to be located along
the line of the Penn’a canal between
this city and Williamsport. The en-
gineer corps is working towards this
city and were at Charlton last night.
The surveyors are close mouthed and
have but little to say in regard to the
work they are doing. It is reported in
this city to-day that the survey is being
made for the Reading Railroad Com-
pany and that the line will cross the
river east of the city limits and pass
through Lock Haven to Mill Hall.”
——Messrs. M. & J. S. Perrine, im-
porters of German Medicinal Water;
Trinidad Bitters, and a house that has
built up a great reputation for its Pure
Baily Malt Whiskey, has been compell-
ed to secure larger store rooms and will
on the 11th inst. move from it old stand
37 North Front street, Philadelphia, to
more commodious quarters at 38 North
3rd street. There is no firm anywhere
whose reputation for honest, fair, square
dealing is higher than the Messrs Per-
rine, and it was made by furnishing
only pure unadulterated goods to the
public.
——Thursday afternoon of last week
a telegram was received in this place
stating that Geo. Munson, of Philips
burg, relative of Mr. L. L. Munson, of
our town, had been killed on the rail-
road at Genoa, N. Y. on which he was
an employee. He was married and had
one child. The Philipsburg Journal
of Friday last gave the following furth-
er particulars of this sad occurrence :
“The corps> of George Munson was
brought to Philipsburg last night and
taken to the residence of his sisters on
South Centre street. In consequen:e of
the mutilated state of the body the cask-
et was opened for the sake of identifica-
tion only. It would appear that the de-
ceased was attending to a switch and ac-
cidentally caught his foot in the “frog”
and fell backward, the train passing
over his lody. He is ason of the late
Levi Munson, and was about 23 years
of age. He had been employed but a
few days only when the accident occur-
red. As we stated yesterday, the de-
ceased leaves a young wife and child un-
cared for, and sisters and brother to
mourn his loss’.
——At a meeting of Borough Coun-
cil last Monday evening Mr. James
Harris inquired the cost of furnishing
water to run the elevator in the hardware
store of Harris & Co. The street com-
mittee reported the sewer on High street
from corner of Harris’ hardware store to
Spring creek completed, also crossing at
same place now done and in good con-
dition. A new bridge will have to be
built over the race below Crider’
planing mill. Street committee and
borough engineer reported sundry pave-
ments on Willow Bank, High and
Lamb streets badly in need of repair,
and council gave instructions that notice
was to be given to repair such pavement
within fifteen days. A request was pre-
sented tor a crossing on Logan. street.
Four bids were received for furnishing
coal to run the water works from now
until April Ist 1890, as follows:
Hoover & Miller, for Lehigh Valley
Coal Co. $1.75 per ton; McCalmont & Co.
for Kelly Brothers coal, $1.75 per ton ;
for screenings, $1.40 per tom; for a
mixture of two parts good and one part
screenings, $1.57 per ton; Bellefonte
Fuel and Supply Company, $1.70 per
ton; Wm. Grauer $1.60 per ton. A
vote being taken the contract was given
to Hoover & Miller, they receiving five
| votes out of the gight cast. The report
A CASE OF APPARENT INFANTICIDE
—Quite an excitement was created in
our town last Friday afternoon by the
report that the dead body of a newly
porn infant had been found along the
forge to the farm of William Houser,
and that the guilty mother had been
seen placing it there. Tt appears that
woman, with a bundle wrapped in a
newspaper under her arm, was seen pass-
ing along that road, in the direction
family of William Saylor whose resi-
dence she passed. She was seen to at-
stump, but from an evident apprehension
placing a stone on top of it.
while her suspicious movements were
being watched by those who saw her
pass up the road.
ed and gone out of sight, Alice and Bel-
concealed the bundle, and upon un-
covering it found that it contained the
dead body of a recently born infant.
Upon making this horrible discovery
they sent a younger sister to follow the
woman so that her identity might be se-
cured. She was followed to town where
she stopped at the porch of the residence
of Mr. George Potts, corner of High and
Spring streets, stopping there to con-
verse with some female acquaintances.
In the meantime the little girl who
kept on her track met her father, Mr.
‘Wm. Saylor, and told him what had
happened. Sheriff Cooke, who was also
met, was likewise informed of the cir-
cumstance, and he immediately got a
warrant from John B. Linn, Esq., for
her arrest on the charge of infanticide.
She, in the meantime, had gone to the
Bush House, where she was employed as
one of the help, and where she was taken
into custody, Her name was Annie
Kriner. Justice Linn committed her to
jail to await the result of further pro-
ceedings in the case.
A coroner’s jury proceeded to the place
where the body had been fcund and held
an inquest. Upon a post mortem exami-
nation Dr. Harris gave it as his opinion
that the child had been born alive, that
it was probably two days old, and that
its death had been caused by hemor-
rhage of the cord, either ignorantly or
intentionally.
The inquest was then adjourned, to
be continued on Saturday morning at
Squire Linn's office. Upon its conven-
ing at that time and place, the young
woman confessed to being the mother of
the child. The jury in their finding
could not say what was the cause of its
death. The unfortunate woman has no
relatives living in this neighborhood,
her father liviug in Punxsutawny and
her mother being dead. She was re-
manded t) jail for trail at the next term
of court.
LEWISBURG'S SPLENDID METHODIST
CHurCcH.—The Beaver Memorial Me-
thodist Episcopal Church at Lewisburg
is rapidly approaching completion. The
auditorium, erected ata cost of over
$100,000 by Mr. Thomas Beaver, of Dan-
ville, in memory of his father, one of the
pioneer Methodist ministers in Central
Pennsylvania, will, when finished, be
the handsomest church of its kind in
the State. It is built of Ohio sandstone,
in the Gothic style. It has a front of
120 feet, not including the parsonage.
It was begun over a year ago, and will
be completed some time next spring.
The Parsonage, which connects with
the church, is in course of erection, and
the front and one side is composed of
the same kind of stoneas is in the church.
The pastor, Rev. D. H. Shields, is sup-
erinterding its erection, and when com-
pleted it willlprobably make the finest Me-
thodist Episcopal parsonage within the
bounds of theCentral Pennsylvania Con-
ference. In addition the congregation
have erected a chapel and Sunday school
room, and made other extensive im-
provements. The cost of the chapel
and improvements made by the congre-
gation will amount to $20,000. The
entire building, when finished, will cost
at least $130,000.

KILLED oN THE RAILROAD—PROBA-
BLE SUICIDE.—A fatal accident hap-
pened on the railroad, last Wednesday
evening, about nine o'clock, near the
turn of the road between McCoy &
Linn’s works and the Nail v.orks. En-
' gineer Shope, who was in charge of the
engine of the 8.57 train, which was
some minutes late, saw three person, a
man and two women, walking near the
| edge of the track coming towards town.
| When not more than a hundred feet
from the party one of the women was
seen to step on the track as if her inten-
| tion was to cross. The train was moving
rapidly and could not be stopped. After
crossing sheattempted to return but the
engine struck her with fatal effect, she
being thrown to one side of the track by
the concussion. The train was immedi-
ately stopped and those who had observ-
ed the occurrence went back to see
whether the woman who had been
struck was dead or alive. She was found

dwellings it would doubtless have the tenden-
ey to lower rents. A house that rents for nine-
teen dollars, with six rooms and no outbuild-
ings, should remain vacant until the rent is
reduced one half.
