cupy a position in connection with

number, awarded to Company B, of
this place, for good shooting, were dis-
tributed at the armory on Friday even-
ing by Captain Reber.
——Mr. G. B. Brandon, of the Brock-
erhoff House, this place, was elected at
the G. A. R. convention held last week
at Shamokin, delegate to the national
encampment to be held in Boston dur-
ing the coming summer.
Some evenings ago many friends
participated in celebrating the 70th
birth-day anniversary of Mr. Daniel
Garman, at the Garman House, this
place. Mr. Garman is a good specimen
of a well preserved old gentleman.
——The body of Mrs. D. F. Luse
which was last week removed to the
cemetery at Centre Hall from the ceme-
tery at Farmers’ Mills, where it was
buried in October, 1886, was so well
preserved that the features were easily
recognized.
——Honors have been conferred up-
on Centre county students at Franklin
and Marshall college, Lancaster, by the
election of J. M. Runkle, of Spring
Mills, as presentation orator, and S. H.
Ditzel, of Tusseyville, as prophet of
their class at the next commencement.
——A Lock Haven paper made a
mistake in saying that A. C. Mann and
family, of Mill Hall, were going to
leave that place and reside in Boston.
Mr. Mann merely went to Boston tem-
porarily to take an inventory of the
East Douglass axe factory.
Dr. L. G. Moyer, a native of
Haines township, this county, who was
practicing in Pardoe, Mercer county,
Pa. died some week ago at the latter
place. He had taken the grip, and be-
ing forced to go out too soon, to attend
to his patients, suffered a relapse which
terminated fatally.
———The funeral of Dr. J. O. Lorraine,
at Philipsburg, Thu:sday afternoon of
last week, was largely attended. Many
friends of the deceased and of the family
attended the service, which was conduct-
ed by Rev. F. J. Clerc, D. D., of the
Episcopal church, assisted by Rev. J. H.
McGarrah, of the Methodist Episcopal
church. Ceremonies were conducted
by Constans Commandery of Bellefonte.
——The story published last week
about an alleged shooting affair near
Coburn, between persons named Freed
and Klinefelter, in which it was said
that the latter attempted to shoot the
former on account of a supposed inti-
macy with his wife, appears to have been
an exaggeration. The difficulty seems
to have sprung from the intoxication of
Freed who in an altercation with a par-
ty named Raymond, at Mr. Klinefelter’s
house, snapped a pistol twice, but the
weapon was not loaded. Mr. and Mrs.
Klinefelter are respectable people and
were in no way connected with the
affair.
—A yang girl of thisplace nam-
ed Fisher, who is a sort of waif, at-
tempted to commit suicide on Thursday
of last week, at her home on Halfmoon
Hill. On the evening previous she ob-
tained some poison from a drug store,
but it being discovered that it was in
her possession it was taken from her, A
razor which she got hold of the next
morning with the intention of killing
herself was also taken from her. She
then completely undressed herself and
going into the cellar lay down and re-
fused to get up. The authorities were
then notified who took her in charge and
sent her to jail. She seems to be out of
order mentally as well as morally.
Tae Weaver HoMIcIDE.—Facts that
are being brought to light give the ap-
pearance of actual murder to the affair
in Penns Valley which resulted in the
death of old man Weaver. The Centre
Reporter says :
Fietta Weaver, accused of the murder
of her father-in-law, Andrew Weaver,
told District Attorney Meyer that the
knife with which the old man Weaver
was stabbed could be foundjat a certain
place in the woods near the house. The
District Attorney, following the direc-
tions, has succeeded in finding it. It is
a double-edged dirk, of the kind used for
stabbing. Both edges were sharp.
Young Andrew Weaver says that
Fietta, his wife, upon several occasions
had rushed towards the old gentleman
with a knife in her hand, threatening to
kill him. That she had a violent tem-
per, and had irequent quarrels with the
old man.
A little daughter of Mr. Weaver, Jr.,
aged about three years, has related that
her mother, Fietta, had stabbed grandpa,
she saw it, ani that he fell down aside
the porch.
Andrew Auman, who is also in jail,
charged as an accomplice, stood] on the
bridge that crosses the run, a short dis-
tance from the house, when the fizht
was going on, and it is not thought that
he had any hand in the fight that morn-
ing, but witnessed the affair, it would
seem, from the bridge where he stood.
Weare informed that Andrew says
at the proper time he will tell that he
knows.
There are doubis of the sanity of
Tietta, and the trial may bring out
points to show this. Her temper was
more that of a mad one, at periods, than
ofan entirely rational being, and she
was often heard to say she would kill
the old man.
M. E. CaurcH IMPROVEMENTS. —
The Conference News, in noting mat-
ters generally pertaining to the M. E.
church, says :
The church at Curtin appointment,
Howard charge, Altoona District, was
re-opened on January 26, by Rev. KE.
J. Gray, D. D. The repairs on the
church consisted of a vestibule and tow-
er, and painting outside, papering and
painting inside, a new pulpit and chan-
delier, and a window in memory of
Philip Antis, the founder of Method-
ism in Bald Eagle Valley. The cost of
these repairs was $740, of which $350
was to be raised on re-opening. On the
morning of the 26th, Dr. Gray preached
a sermon of much power, after which
he asked for $350 and when the congre-
gation was dismissed $200 had been
pledged. In the evening before preach-
ing the finances wereagain presented to
the congregation and in a few minutes
$165 was secured, making a total for
the day of $365. Then the Doctor
again preached with wonderful power.
The congregation was intensely inter-
ested and powerfully wrought upon,
We are looking for grand results as
the fruit of these discourses. The Doc-
tor won the hearts of the people.
THE OUTLOOK ¥OR TiMBER.—The
month of February, says the Lock Hav-
en Ezpress,is now half gone, and the
prospects for getting in the square tim-
ber is no better than before. A promi-
nent lumberman, who deals largely in
square timber, and is well posted as to
operations up river, said this morning
he knew of but seven rafts on the banks
at present. He says that without snow
it is impossible to getsquare timber and
long round logs to the river. Most of
the short logs will be put in, but unless
snow comes soon the number of rafts to
come down the river the coming spring
will be less than ever known before.
——Mis. T. P. Rynder, of Milesburg,
whose occasional contributions have help-
ed to make the columns of the WaTcH-
MAN interesting, will enjoy the distinc-
tion of having a number of her poems
appear in the forth-coming edition of
‘the Poets of America.”
——Another fatal accident occurred
some days ago at the weigh scales of the
Beech Creek railroad, near Beech Creek
borough, by which young William
Shaw, youngest son of Hugh Shaw, of
Pine Cre:k township, lost his life. Mr.
Shaw was a brakeman on a coal train
and while assisting to weigh the cars of
his train was caught between the bump-
ers and crushed to death. When found
he was in a standing position between
the bumpers, perfectly dead. The body
was taken to Jersey Shore, near where
the deceased resided. He was aged 34
years ; married and leaves a wife and
four small children.
——While Mr. W. H. Kremer was
driving with his wife and son, one day
last week, on the turnpike between Co-
burn and Millheim, the front wheels of
their buggy ran into a deep hole in the
middle of the road, breaking the front
spring and smashing the bugey to pieces.
The occupants were all thrown out on
their faces, the little boy receiving pain-
ful bruises on the head and one eye was
injured, while Mrs. Kremer’s face was
badly skinned. As Mr, Kremer fell on
top of the boy he was not injured, but
all made a narrow escape from being
burlesque on the name of highway.
BurNixe DEmMocrATIC TickETs.—It
is not necessary for Republican papers,
or Republican Congressman, to go way
down south to hunt election frauds, or
to find new schemesdevised by election
officials to defeat the will of the people.
Right here at home, within a mile of the
residence of the republican Governor of
this Republican state, they cau find all
the facts for a first-class “ballot box
outrage,” that the greatest sensational-
ist could want. On Tuesday last, in-
the Coleville district of Spring town
ship, each party had neglected to vote
for district Assessors. Under a misap-
prebension in printing the tickets this
office had been left off. The Republicans
felt safe about the matter, knowing that
if there was a vacancy they had the op-
pointing power and could fill the posi-
tion with any one they might wish.
Towards evening the Democrats waken-
ed up to the situation and began writing
the name of the office and their candi-
date upon the regular ticket. A num-
ber of these ballots were cast, and when
the Republican Judge reached them in
counting off, notwithstanding they
had all been cast by legally qualified
voters, received,numbered and put in the
ballot box, he deliberately gathered
them together and against the protest of
the Democratic Inspector, THREW THEM
IN THE STOVE AND BURNT THEM. . By
doing so hesaved to the Republicans of
the township two township officials who
would have been beaten had these votes
besn counted, and showed his capacity
to have the election go as he wanted,
whether it was the way the people voted
or not. What steps the republican
court of this county will take to right the
wrong and punish the perpatrator of this
must outrageous crime upon the bai-
lot box, we do not know. We wait
patiently to seeif a crime of this kind
in Republican Pennsylvaina will be
quietly passed over by those who talk so
loudly about lesser (alleged) outrages
in the South.
Ix Meyory of Jennie McCalmont
Shortlidge] youngest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William Shortlidge, who after
an exceedingly brief illness fell asleep
at her home in Bellefonte, on Wednes-
day night,Feb. 19th, in the 22ud year of
her life.
There are moments in our life when
we realize the nothingness of words and
theirlpowerlessness to breathe one half
the thoughts we fain would express. We
see those sleeping in Jesus who are in
the full bloom of womanhood,and in the
perfection of old age, and we have
faith to think
“Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be;”
but when it lies “like an untimely
frost upon the sweetest flower of all
the field,” stealing the perfume from
a life just budding into womanhood—
a perfume that, though crushed, will
rise and almost choke us with its
sweet memories of a gracious manner,
strong sympathy, loving disposition
aad all that could make those about
her better for having known her, no
matter how strong our faith in God
or his soothing power we cannot say
“Thy will be done,” and words that
are meant to comfort only irrtate
or fall on unheeding ears. .
But can we not find comfort from
Mrs. Whitney’s words. “Oh, I believe
that there is no away; that no love,
no life goes ever from us. It goes as
He went, that it may come again deep-
er and closer and surer, and be with
us always even to the end of the
world.”
DeATH oF GEORGE BostLEY.—The
grip has claimed another victim in the
death of Mr. George Bostley, who died at
his residence cn Bishop street, this place,
on Tuesday afternoon, of typhoid fever
that followed an attack of the prevailing
influenza, after an illness of about two
weeks duration. He had but recently
come to Bellefonte from Hepsburg, Pa.,
where valuable mill property belonging
to him was swept away by the June
flood. He came here to run the rolling
mill of the Centre Iron Company. He
was about 40 years of age and physically
a robust man. His remains were taken
to Williamsport for interment on
Thursday.
——There was an extremely pleasant
social party at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. John T. Johnston, on Linn
street, some evenings ago, on the oc-
casion of Mr. Johnston’s visit home
from Harrisburg, the guests including
some eighty of our leading people,among
whom were General and Mrs. Hastings,
There was other entertainment besides
.that of an edible character, Miss Lilly
Aikens contributing some superb music
on the piano and W. J. Swoope, esq., ad-
ding to the pleasure of the evening by a
display of his elocutionary talent.
——Messrs. Ellis and B. W. Shaffer,
two of Miles township’s most promising
and reliable young Democrats, found
time while in town on Thursday, to
makea pleasant call at the WarcaMAN
office.

A Prous LerTer vFroM HOPKINS. —
The Philipsburg Journal of Saturday
published the following letter from
Seeley Hopkins toa friend in that place,
the tone of which showed that he was
in a contrite frame of mind and hopeful
as to his situation in the next world :
BELLEFONTE, Pa.,
February 15th, 1890.
Dear Friexp CaNy.—This lovely
morning I will write you a short letter;
and as it will be my last to you I will
endeavor to thank you for your kind
and good advice to me while I have
been confined here. I thank God I
heeded your, and other kind friends’
advice, for to-day all is well. Ishall die
content. The world seems bright to
me, yet I do not want to stay. The
promise God has given to me is far
brighter than anything this world con-
tains, I shall die with no malice to-
wards any one. I forgive all and earn-
estly hope that God will be as merciful
to all those who have any enmity to-
wards me as He has been to me. Dear
friend Cann, the words you told me in
my cell are ever ringing in my ears, and
I shall pass from this world to a better
with them ever present in my mind.
My earnest prayer is that the ranks
of the Y. M. C. A. will increase ten-
fold, and my advice to all young men
is that they become members of good
societies and be true workers in God’s
cause, for if I had heeded God’s com-
mandments I to-day would be a free
man. Tell them to stop before it is for-
ever {oo late; tell my friends’and asso-
ciates that I hcpe they will all seek
God while yet they have time.
I hope some poor wanderer will heed
my advice. I now close with a leng
farewell, and may God reward you and
the members of the Y. M. C. A. for the
kind interest you have taken in me, is
my earnest prayer. To all a kind and
last farewell. From your true friend,
W. SeELEY HOPKINS.
