have been a slim record.
— Last Thursday, on account of
the indisposition of one of the attorneys
for the defense, the trial of Charles
Brown for the murder of William
Lovett, in the Clinton county court,

railroad to his new quarries on the land
recently bought from the Armor estate,
we suppose is merely to fix the responsi-

No Occasion TO BE DISCOURAGED
Apour Ice.—John R. Hyman, depot
master at the Philadelphia & Erie sta-
tion, at Williamsport, stated the other
day that ice was first cut aboutjthe last
part of January last year. Hesays that
around the 20th of that month a heavy
storm visited this section accompanied
by a cold wave. Ice five inches thick
soon formed, and on the 29th the first
load was put in the Park Hotel ice
house. At about the same time the
Pennsylvania railroad company com-
menced filling their house. Hesays
that after that there was much better
ice, and that he thinks this year will be
about the same.
Tae CoNSTABLE QUESTION DECIDED.
—Tt has been questioned whether the
constables elected last spring, under the
new law, were to hold for one or three
years, but Judge Pershing, of Schuyl-
kill county, has decided that they were
elected for a term of one year and that
all constables must be re-elected at the
approaching spring election. As this
is the only legal decision in the case, it
will doubtless be generally accepted as
a correct interpretation of the act of
1889. Hereafter, then, constables will
be elected for three years. This fact is
a good one to remember in making
choice of these officers at the spring
election.
— Hopkins, who is to hang on the
20th of next month, is a mystery and a
puzzle to every one who visits him A
reporter of the WATCHMAN, who had
hoard that the condemned man had
broken down under the pressure of his im
pending doom,called at the jail the oth-
evening expecting to seein the prisoner
a fellow creature plunged in the depths
of distress and contrition.On arriving at
the grated door of the corridor he saw
two persons promenading the stone floor.
One of them was smoking a cigar, puf-
fing the smoke with evident satisfaction ;
a jaunty derby hat was slightly cocked
on one side of his head ; his shirt collar
was peculiarly high and scrupulously
white; his neck tie was of the latest style,
and his general appearance decidedly
dandyish. :
Upon entering the corridor the report-
erdiscovered that this gay looking gen-
tleman was the individual who is ‘te
have his neck stretched next month, and
who notwithstanding such a discouraging
prospect was the liveliest and chipperest
man in the prison. Hopkins, in the
cheeriest manner, invited the reporter to
go with him up to his cell. In getting
up the iron stairway his partially par-
alyzed leg interfered with his progress,
which caused him to remark in a
tone decidedly jocular, that he in-
tended to be more nimble in ascending
the steps of the gallows. On the cell
wall he had a life-size photograph por-
trait of himself, in a heavy gilt frame,
which he had received that day from
Altoona, and he expressed as much de-
light over it as a boy would over a new
pair of skates. He said he intended to
send it home as a present to his mother.
Looking at the picture with great pleas-
ure, he turned to the sheriff with the
joking question whether it couldn’t be
arranged to hang it instead of him. He
said it would suit him a good deal better.
His whole conversation had a levity
about it that was shocking to any one
who regards the prospect of
being hung as something that
is not a proper subject for a joke.
He asked the Sheriff to show his visitor
the shell from which was fired the bul-
let that “put the old woman’s day-
lights out,” and regretted that he hadn’t
it conveniently at hand to show the re-
porter the shell with which he had killed
his wife. He said it was sticking some-
where around his old clothes. It being
the intention of the Sheriffto go to Phil-
ipsburg the next day, he requested him
to present to his mother-in-law’s sister
the shell that had done the business for
the old woman. Hopkins employs
much af his time in smoking, and he
enjoined upon the Sheriff to get him the
best ten cent cigar that can be bought
in Bellefonte for him to smoke on the
way to the gallows. The demeanor of the
condemned man is indeed an anomaly,
evincing a mental and moral condition
that presents apsychological problem fur
beyond our ability to solve.
——The attendance at the lecture of
Rev. Dr. McGlynn, in the Court
House last Tuesday evening, was not as
largely attended as the celebrity of the
lecturer and the charater of his subject
should have warranted. His theme was
the abolishment of 'proverity, and al-
though his theory sounded very well
the actual accomplishment of that ob-
ject will always be found to be difficult.
We suppose that until the end of
time we shall always have the poor
with us.
—— Congressman McCormick, of the
Lycoming District, has a bill before the
House for the creation of a new federal
judicial district in Pennsylvania, the
courts to be held at Scranton, Williams-
port and Harrisburg. Centre county

marksman of the eastern end of this
county, never returns from a pheasant
hunt with an empty bag. One day last
week he shot forty of these fine game
birds. The Lewisburg News gives the
following as Mr. Sober’s pheasant record
for the past six years :—Shot in 1875,
95; 1885, 87; 1886, 108; 1887, 40;
1888, 117; 1889, 116; total, 563.
— We learn that a six foot vein of
coal has been opened on Clearfield land
owned by Capt. John A. Hunter of
Halfmoon. and that parties are negotia-
ting with him for the right to mine it
on a royalty. It is about 200 acers in |
extent for which he paid about $12,000
some ten years ago, but up to the pre-
sent time it was an unproductive en-
vestment. The coal is within easy
reach of the Tyrone and Clearfield rail- !
road. :
One of the saddest accidents that '
has happened in the Clearfield coal
region recently occurred in one of the
mines of Wigton & Sons at Amesville, :
that county, resulting in’ the death of
two brothers named Stacy and Al
Neveling, who were caught under a fall
of coal and instantly killed, the mass
which fell on them weighing about ten
tons. Stacy leaves a wife and one child. |
Al was a single man. Both were sons
of Mrs. William Neveling, of Janes-
ville, their father being dead a number |
of years.
——A Nittany Valley farmer, says
the Lock Haven Express, while driving
to that place last Monday, saw a flock of
crows gathered about some object in a
field, and as they were making so much
noise and fuss he concluded to investi-
gate. On reaching the spot the farmer
found a blacksnake three and a half feet
tong crawling on the ground. When
it is remembered that it was the 13th’
day of January, the fact of a farmer see-
ing a blacksnake in a meadow on that
date is proof enough that the season is
very unseasonable.
The Lock Haven Democrat has heard
of a rumor that Mrs. John Johnson, of
near Hublersburg, Centre county, the
wife of John Johnson who was tried
there for participation in the Culvey
double murder and acquitted, died a
couple of days ago, and that on her
death bed she confessed that the Culvey
horror was planned in the Johnson
house, and that Ler husband was as
guilty of the murder as Shaffer was.
The story also, states that Johnson has
disappeared from home. This probably
hasn’t more foundation of truth than a
great majority of rumors usually have.
A subscription paper is out to
raise money for the building of a dam
in the creek at Millheim across the new
channel that was washed out by last
June's flood. The dam is to be built
just below J. Harter’s orchard, so that
when the creek is very high it can run
into the old channel. If the dam is
well built it will save the property of
those residing in the southeast end of
the borough. The paper isin the hands
of Willis Bollinger who traveled on the
floods in his own house until he was
lodged against his neighbor's house and
thereby saved his and his family’s lives.

; While he was on the way with his
prisoner the comrades of the latter,
numbering eight or ten, followed af-
ter in a threatening manner, with
the intention of

such expressions as kill thes. of a b,
assaulted him. They grabbed him,
and notwithstanding his resistance,
pitched him over the railing with the
intention of throwing him into the
creek. He fell on a stone which prevent-
ed him from rolling into the water.
The crowd, including the prisoner, then
ran, going across to Thomas street and
stopping nearly opposite McQuistion’s
wagon shop.
Upon recovering himself Foulk fol-
lowed, and when he came up to them
, they threatened to kill him if he ap-
proached, using such expressions as that
the had better make his peace with his
God,” as they intended to lynch him, and
other threatening exclamations. The
first man he recognized in the crowd was
Thompson, the man who had thrown ,
him over the railing. There were citi-
zens standing around at some distance,
attracted by the riotous proceedings, and
Foulk called upon them for assistance,
but they seem to have be deterred by |
the threats of the rioters. Foulk then
seized Thompson, but the latter broke
from him and started to run. The of-
ficer called after him to halt or he
would shoot.

going to make at the officer, whereupon
Foulk shot, hitting Thompson in the
leg. The wounded man fell to the side- :
walk and his comrades closed around to
protect him, maintaining their threat=
ening demeanor.
Gar's appeared on the scene and in the
melee broke his mace over the head of
one of the rioters named Jamison. At
this stage of the disorderly proceedings
Sheriff Cooke, officer Mullin and Con-
stable Montgomery, who had been noti-
fied of the trouble, made their appear-
ance. The Sheriff made a proclamation
to the rioters ordering them to desist and
s1bmit to the authority of the officers of
the law. This demonstration and the
presence of so large a force alarmed the
disorderly parties who began to scatter.
The officers, however, got hold of three
of them on the spot and followed the
others to the nailworks where two more
were arrested at their boarding house,
one of them while attempting to escape
out of a window. They were all taken
to the lockup where they were detained
for the night. The parties captured and
locked up were Samuel Key, Michael
Fennehy, James Convoy, John Jamison
and Hugh McGraff. Sanders escaped.
Thompson, the wounded man, was tak-
en to the poor house where his injury
received medical attention and he will
have a hearing as soon as he is in a con-
dition for it. On Sunday morning the:
prisoners were removed to jail on a war-
rant and were brought before Esq. Fos-
ter on Tuesday morning. TU pon hear-
ing the svidence in the case the Justice
discharged Key as not being sufficiently
implicated to be held, and the other
four, not being able to give bail, were
remanded to jail to be disposed of by the
court of quarter sessions. In the pro-
ceedings before the Justice Spangler re-
presented the commonwealth and Reed-
er, the prisoners. The riot was an ag-
gravated breach of the peace, involving
a deadly assault upon an officer of the
law, and those who enzaged in it
should be severely punished.
——The Farmers’ Institute on Tues-
day and Wednesday of last week was
held in the Methodist church of How-
ard, it being orgonized by selecting
Hon. John A. Woodward to act as Presi
dent and J. Newlin Hall as secretary.
Nearly all the speakers were from a
distance. They were first-class in every
respect and the audience was agreeably
surprised to hear such oratory and see
such cultured Men discussing the sub-
ject of agriculture. Notwithstand-
ing the bad condition of the roads the
attendance was good. The institute
closed on Wednesday evening with a
unnanimous vote to have it con-
vene at Howard next winter. Woe
understand that the Farmers’ Institute
held at State College on Thursday and
Friday of last week was largely at-
tended and successful in every respect.

——Edward A. Ryman, a Philips-
burg merchant, deceased last week, was
ason of Jacob Ryman, of Milesburg,
and was about 43 years old. In speak-
ing of him the Philipsburg Ledger says:
Mr. Ryman was an excellent man and
citizen. He took a deep interest in
local affairs and has held offices of trust
in borough affairs with fidelity and
credit. At the time of his death he was
a member of the school board and he
performed his duty faithfully and fear-
lessly. He was a very active member
of Moshannon Lodge, 891, A. Y. M. for
many years, and had just been elected
and installed to the high office of wor-
shipful master of the lodge, and was
buried yesterday afternoon with Mason-
ic honors. He leaves besides his wife
and children an aged mother, Mrs. Ellen
Ryman, of Milesburg; a brother, Mr.
Miles G. Ryman, of Philipsburg, and
two sisters, Mrs. Howard Moore, of
Howard, Pa., and Mrs. Elizabeth Par-
sons, of Altoona.
——The Williamsport Gazette and
Bulletin makes the following reference
to a well known character of our town
who bas got into troublein Lock Haven.
It will be remembered that the person
referred to cut quite a figure in the elec-
tion in this county last fall: «William
W. Pettengill, of B:llefonte, who claims
that he is a detective, was arrested yes-
terday at Lock Haven, at the instance
of District Attorney Brumgard, who
charged him with subordination of wit-
nesses of the commonwealth in the case
of Charles Brown who has been iudict-
ed for the murder of William Lovett.
T. T. Abrams, Esq., who is assisting the
Commonwealth in thecase, called Judge
Mayer's attention to this matter in open
Court. Judge Mayer said that if such
was the case, and the party brought be-
! fore him and found guilty, he would
| send him across the mountains for ten
| years. Pettengill waived an examina-
| tion before Alderman Noble and wus
| committed in default of bail. It is al-
| leged that Pettengill offered one of the
' State's witnesses a position worth $75 a
| month, to another the sum of $15, and
| to others liquor, if they would testify in
Brown’s favor in the coming trial. C.
8. McCormick, Esq., who has been re-
tained by Pettengill has arranged for
a hearing for the defendant. i

AN IDYLL oF THE NORTHWEST.—
We publish in another column of this
issue a discription of the months in
Northern Dakota, as they make their
changing progress thronghoutthe year,
written by Will Truckenmiller. We
can commend it as a veritable prose
prem. Mr. Truckenmiller went from
Walker township, this county, to Da-
kota some two years ago and has be-
come thoroughly acquainted with that
new country. Notwithstanding great
physical defects which would have de-
tered almost any other man similarly
afflictel from leaving home, Mr. T.
has become quite a traveler and explor-
er, having in%addition to a sojourn in
Dakota, extended his trips to Cali-
fornia, Oregon, Washington territory
and Colorado. - He is now at his
home in this county, having returned
east for the purpose of raising a colony
for settlement in Northern Dakota.
Vick’s FLoral GUipE.—We have
received from James Vick, Rochester,
N. Y., his Floral Guide, which in beau-
ty of appearence and convenience of
arrangment surpasses anything in this
line which we have ever had the privi-
lege of seeing before. It is a pamphlet
eight by ten inches in size, and with
the covers, which are by no means the
least important part of it,contains even
one hundredipages. Although called a
«floral guid,” it is/devoted to vegetables
as well, and includes as fall a list and
description of both flowers, vegetables
and also small fruits as could be brought
within the compass of a book of this
size.
In all that the Vicks have undertaken
their aim seems to have been to attain
as near to absolute perfection as possible,
and probably no one ever did so much
towards bringing thelcultivation of flow-
ers to the high standard which it has
now attained as did the head of the
firm.
The firm takes the same pride in rais-
ing choice vegetables as in developing
attractive varieties of flowers, and after
wsing their seeds for a number of years
we are able to recommend them in the
highest terms.
We advise all eur readers to send 10
cents for the Guide(which can be deduct-
ed f rom first order.)
