Pine Grove Mentions. The rollicking students of our Pine Grove academy are now having a six weeks vacation, when the summer turn will commence. Jacob Roan, A. M., is confident of a large attendance: Mr. Milton Krebs, who has been attending a Dental College at Baltimore, is now spend- ing his vacation with his father,Levi Krebs, not asserting that his best girl does not get her share of his pleasant smiles. The citizens of Pine Grove Mills have recent- ly received from Mr. G. W. Lyon a clear right and title to the spring by which our people are supplied with pure mountain water, for which favor many thanks are due Mr. Lyon. A musical concert will be held at Fairbrook next Saturday evening, the 22d inst. The en- tertainment will consist of vocal and instru- mental solos and duets, trios and quartettes. New and excellent choruses, will be conduct- ed by Prof. J. A. Weaver, one of the best drill masters in this section of the State. The barn at Baileyville owned by the Tyrone Mining Company, formerly known as the Bry- son barn, was totally destroyed by fire on Wednesday nighl of this week. For the lust year it was unoccupied, but Mr. Henry Elder intended moving on the farm onthe 1st of April, and stored away in it his farming imple- ments, corn, feed, &ec., which were all destroy- ed. The cause of the conflagration is not’ known. Tomy political friends who have so kindly made mention of my name as being among the prospective sheriffalty timber in the com- ing campaign,l emphatically say no. Buttothe best of my ability I shall support the regular nominee. I positively decline, with thanks to my friends who have so kindly made mention of my name for the high office of Sheriff,which honor should be conferred on one of the old whee! horses of the party and thereby promote harmony and success. Our citizens are dependirg,and probably too much,on a Rail Road Committee, consisting of three of our very best men, whose duty it was to secure the right of way from Strubel’s Sta- tion to this place, and confer with the R. R. Company, and if possible secure the speedy building of the road. To this end all our eiti- zens are now directing their attention and assisting the progress of the committee in se- curing the right of way with a view of secur- ing the location and terminus of the road. We are assured that Mr. Ard will grant the right of way ; also a site for a depot. Owing to the large deposits of ore across the mountain and the probability of the B.B. R. R. being constructed across the mountain at some point near our town, Pine Grove Mills would be benefited thereby,as it lies in a direct line with the Stone valley ore fields,which can be reached by rail with a fraction less than three miles from Strubel’s Station, and the ore fields across the mountain could be reached within four miles from this point, the entire distance being less then seven miles, while the Shingletown Gap route would require some eleven or twelve miles of rail road. Our village is certainly situated in and surround - ed by agood farming community, besides hav- ing large deposits of iron ore in the surround- ing country. One day last week we had the pleasure of meeting at the St. Elmo that friend of good fellows, Robert Hammill Boal, of Bellefonte, who by the way has long been in the employ of the Messrs Collins as one of their principal engineers, if not the best. He, in his usual good humorous way,told how inthe near future the hills of Stone Valley would be excavated, and in a plain story informs us of the amount of prospecting that has been and is being done across the mountain, and that the prospects as yet were not at all flattering, but that a survey to cross the mountain at some suitable point is now in progress,from Struble’s,Statien via Shingletown Gap across the mountains to their new ore fields along the south base of the third mountain, where a large area of land has been leased, and the prospects are most encouraging for quantities of fossil ore, as it is traceable for some six miles. As yet the larg- est deposit is being found on the Lightner. track some two miles west of the old Monroe Furnace where the vein is traceable to Wil- sontown. The Duffs, Mytons, Smiths, Light- ners and others have leased their lands. On Thursday evening the 13th inst, the large country home of Frank Bowersox was beautifully illuminated, it being the occasion of the marriage of his third daughter, Annie, to Mr. Thomas Gray, son of (Geo. W. Gray, of Fillmore. The marriage ceremony was pre- formed by Rev J. C. Young. Miss Mary Gray, .the groom's sister, served as bridesmaid, and Mr. Edward Bowersox, brother of the bride, was best man. The congratulations were most cordial, and the warmest wishes expressed were for the happiness of the newly married in which the Warcuman begs to join. Miss.Annie, now Mrs. Gray, is one of the best of young la- dies, and is an adept in housekeeping, having spent all her youthful days under the ever watchful eye of one of the best of mothers. Mr. Gray is one of our well to do farmers and is not unlike his father, quite a popular politician and exercises quite a controlling influence in his section of the community. Their wed- ding trip was not a distant one, to Half Moon and other sections of the county, visiting im- mediate relatives, after which they will take up house-keeping near Fairbrook,where they will be welcomed to the ranks of the benediets. Dr. J. Edward Ward, with his bride, arrived here Thursday of last week, after spending a week of a honey moon trip to Baltimore and the National Capital. They were driven to the home of his parents, Mr. Joseph Ward, on Main street, where a splendid reception await- ed them, and a sumptuous feast was served. The afternoon was spent in a pleasant social way, until the Pine Grove Band, of which the Doctor was a former member, put in an appear- ance and discoursed some of their finest selec- tions of musie, which brought the Doctor and his bride into prominence, they being intro- duced to theaudience by Rev.J. C. Young. The Band was invited in and shared in the hospit- alities. The Doctor and his wife took their departure the following day for their new home in Bellefonte, where he has quite a lu- crative dental practice. His wife, formerly Miss Bella Stiver, one of Penn's Valley’s most refined and accomplished ladies, has for some years been one of the most successful school teachers of Stephenson county, Illinois, in which capacity she had won many warm friends. But their loss is the Doctor's gain. We unite in wishing them a happy and pros- perous life. TE —— Howard Happenings. John Wagner, one of the enterprising bar- bers of this place, is just recovering from a severe attack of the grip. Mr. Jacob Dietz is able be about again after | avery severe illness, which goes to show that the defeat for tax collector did not bother him much. Mr. C. C. Cooke's new saw mill, which he is putting up a short distance below town, is al- most complete and will be ready tosaw in a: few days. It is understood that Mr. Cooke has | been offered one bill to saw of a miilion feet. im as i “ i Mr. Rafas Evans, who lived at this place for a short time, but who recently moved to Belle- fonte, died at his home in that place on Mon- day night of typhoid fever. The body was taken to Curtin’s, his former home,where inter- ment took place. In the suit brought against two of our school girls by several matried men for a report they circulated, the prosecutors paid the costs,there not being enough evidence to hold them for court. It isreported that the one prosecutor expected to realize §100 out of the case, ex- pecting it to get into the first families of the town and get hush money. On Wednesday morning of this week there started up town a monstrous Bird that stop- pedin at the cobbler’s.> A young man who happened to be present was upholding the character of one of our town’s young ladies, which It seems to delight in damaging at every opportunity that presents itself, and having failed to poison the young man against her, the aforesaid Bird ejaculated that he would “put a kink below his eye.” The WaroumaN correspondent was informed by the young man that the Bird did have and can have an opportunity to fulfill the threat made. But up to this writing It has failed to do so, and we will here say that we think it is well for It that it was not carried out. Grover Cleveland’s Wooing. Mrs. Cleveland Tells Why She Said Yes to the ex-President’s Fifth Proposal. Correspondent of a New York Journal. I am able to give some inside inform- ation about ex-President Cleveland’s romance. At the time of the wedding the mouths of the President and his wife were those of clams concerning their love affair. None of their friends knew much about their courtship, and they went on the principle of the great German proverb that ‘speech is silver, but silence is golden.” The wed- dimg is still gossiped about here, and the women pronounce it a love match, while the men invariably take the ground that the White House had a great deal to do with Mrs, Cleveland’s acceptance. It seems that the men are somewhat in the right, and the lady who recently re- turned from a wedding trip to the Con- tinent gives one of my friends a conver- sation which she had with Mrs, Cleve- land not long ago. The story, as it comes to me, is quite spicy, and I do not vouch that the talk is verbatim. I giveit as I hear it. This lady said: I met Mrs. Cleveland shortly after I landed in New York, and one of the first questions she asked me was to pray tell how long I was engaged before I was married. “T answered her, and told her the story of our courtship. She listened with interest, and when I was through I concluded that I would learn some- thing from her in return. I asked : “Mrs. Cleveland, I have seen a great many stories about your marriage and the most I have seen have been contra- dicted by you or your friends. I have told you my story, and now I want you to tell me yours. How long were you engaged to the President before you were married ?”’ “Mrs.Cleveland laughed and blushed, and said : “Oh, there are the most ridiculous stories fold about us, but honestly they are hardly as funny as it really was. Uncle Grover proposed to me five times before I accapted him. First, when I was fourteen, and I just laughed at the idea, for’ he seemed so much older. Then again, two years later, when I went to college ; and a third time when he was elected Governor of New York. I was by no means ready to get married and he left things go for a year, or un- til he was nominated for the Presidency. Then he asked me again, and I again refused. At last he was elected, and I promised to marry him ina year. Of course I always liked him better than any one else, and I always meant to marry him some day, but I'll own tke White House had something to do with hurrying it up.” For Freckles. A young lady correspondent requests a cure for freckles. The golden-brown variety, that appears only in the sum- mer, may be readily removed, but those of a more permanent kind ae difficult to get rid of, and many can only be mitigated by an acid lotion and avoid- ing extreme exposure to the sun. We give a few simple remedies, recommend- ed by the best authorites, and hope they may prove of use to some girlish reader, whe, however, may console themselves with the fact that the distasteful brown specks are an evidence ofa good com- plexion. 4 Take finely-powdered nirte(saltpeter), and apply 1t to the freckles by the fin- ger, moistened with water and dipped in the powder. When perfectly done and judiciously repeated, it will often re- move them effectively and without trouble. An excellent freckle-lotion may be made of two gallons of strong soapsuds, to which are added one pint of alcohol and a quarter of a pound of rose- mary. Keep in a close jar, and apply with a linen cloth. Please remember that what will help in one case may be quite useless in another.—American Ag- riculturist. The Difference. Philadelphia Record. ‘When President Cleveland assumed office he found the Railway Mail Ser- vice altogether in the hands of Republi- can appointees; and during his four years term there were 1999 changes, bringing the efficiency of the service to a point never before reached. President Harrison, though he found a large per- centage of Republican officials in the service, in the first four months of his administration brought about 2484 changes. The rate of decapitation un- der Harrison as compared with the rate under Cleveland was as 15 to 1. The Shah of Persia is about to introduce railroads and electric plants into his dominions, and has given the contract for their building to Frank J. Clergue, a citizen of Bar Sl Maine. It was American contractors who first built railroads in Russia, and the Czar is said to have advised the Shah to depend upon American skill and enterprise. As the Shah has broken faith withEnglish- men who had begun the work, he may probably attempt the same tactics with the new contractor ; but the Yankee may safely be trusted to come out ahead "in any such contest.-— Record. TI ET iT Wheat. Damaged and Peach Crod Ruined. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., March 14.—Infor- mation from Southern and Central Illi- nois indicates more or less damage to the wheat crop by freezing within the past week or ten days. The warm weather last month advanced the grow- th to such an extent that it was ina very tender condition when the sharp freeze began. From the reports on fruit in th south- ern part of the State, where the bulk of the Illinois crop is raised, it may be safely stated that the peach crop is ruin- ed. Apples and cherries are safe, but pears are injured to a considerable ex- tent. Strawberries, where properly cov- ered and protected, are not extensively injured, but where they were not cared for they are killed or have suffered badly. After Postmaster General Wanamaker. W AsHINGTON, March 18.—In the house to-day Mr. Morton, of Missouri, offered for reference a resolution reciting that it 1s reported that the postmaster general has been employing postoffice inspectors and special agents in investi- gating the claims of republican appli- cants for appointments as postmasters, and paying for such services out of the public funds, declaring that such practi- ces are contrary to the law of the land and subversive of good government, and calling on the postmaster general tor a statement as to what postoffice inspectors and special agents have been so em- ployed. Won A Wife in Twenty Minutes. RircHIE CourRrT House, W. Va, March 17.—A remarkable marriage has just been announced here. Saturday morning Jacob Riffner, aged 80 years, walked from his home, at Eaton’s tun- nel, to the home of Mrs. Ray, a widow of 65. He introduced himself to the widow, stating that he understood she wished to marry. They talked twenty minutes, and Mr. Riffner started for this place, secured a license and returned with a minister, and before night they were married. Mr. Riffner, who is a prosperous farmer, took his bride home with him this morning. More Russian Barbarity. BerLiN, Mach 15.—Dispatches from Tomsk, the Central Siberian depot for prisoners, say that the prison now holds 490 healthy and 275 sick exiles, but that in 1886 the number of exiles brought to the prison was 16,184, of whom only 14,866 were transported further into the interior. In 1887 the arrivals numbered 14,277, in 1888 they numbered 15,015, and in 1889, to Sep- tember, they numbered over 12,000. Of these prisoners there were taken to the interior 18,522 in 1887, 14,239 in 1888, and 11,000 in 1889. The daily average number of prison- ers in 1889 was 1380, and the average number on the sick list was 396. A majority of the sick had typhoid fever. An official report declares that owing to a lack of room hundreds of sick beds had to be placed in the open air while the temperature was as low as six reamur, and that in consequence of this exposure the mortality among the sick was enor- mous. A Youthful Counterfeiter. He Made Excellent Work and Looked Like Little Lord Fauntleroy. DANVILLE, I1l.,March 18.—The mer- chants of the village of Georgetown have for the past month been victimiz- ed with large quantities of well-executed spurious dollars and nickels. On Tues- day Claude Madden, 12 years old, purchased a postal note at the village post ofiice and three tickets for an “Un- cle Tom’s Cabin” show, giving new dollars and nickles in payment. The money was discovered to be counterfeit and the boy questioned. Hesaid Leigh Ottie Fisher gave him the money. Fisher is a Jad of 17 years, who looks like Lord Fauntleroy,has an abundance of golden curls flowing over his should- ers, and is a prominent High School scholar. His father is a respectable physician. A search of his father’shouse unearth- ed a large lot of counterfeit nickels, rough and unfinished, and two molds for making nickels, formed of dentist’s Plager and marble dust. Ottie then roke down and confessed his guilt. He said he had been led astray by W. I. Kester, a traveling watch tinker of Paris, Ill. Ottie was bound over forthe Circuit Court, and a warrant issued for the arrest of Kester. The boy claims that he made the dies in one day, and is proud of his workmanship. No Assessors Need Apply. Census Superintendent Porter has is- sued an order that no assessor, collector or any other person having any connec- tion, however remote, with the imposi- tion or receipt of taxes, shall be employ- edin the capacity of enumerator. The June registry of voters takes place about the time the enumerators make their round, and it is easy to un- derstand how important it is that the two shall be kept entirely separate and distinct from each other. Where asses- sors in valuing property, real or per- sonal, meet with such obstructions that they are unable to perforin their duties as required by law, the law specifies what remedy shall be employed, esti- mates being allowed in certain cases to take the place of facts that cannot for any reason be got at. tis different with the enumerators. The information they desire can only be obtained with any exactness by a tho- rough canvass from house to house; and when such means fail, and guesses are resorted to, the very object for which the censusis taken—to obtain facts which are to be the basis of statistical tables of great value to the public—wil] be practically defeated. ——Houston was beaten for the Sen- ate by Louis Wigfall, who cutsuch a brilliant and yet inefficient figure at the outbreak of the war. Old Sam Houston was asked what kind of a person this Mr. Wigfall was who had succeeded to his place. Houston said: “Gentlemen, I know him well; he is the most eloquent, brilliant d—n fool in all Texas.” / | white and black, in past struggles for - present struggle for American homes re- The Census Taking in June. Pittsburg Post. The taking of the census will begin cn the first of June. Itis not difficult reaching a reliable estimate of the ag- gregate population. Assuming the in- crease will be 30 per cent, or the same as in the decade from 1870 to 1880, the total population of the United States will be about 65,000,000, or more than twice the population of the Union at the outbreak of the civil war. Of this total about 56,000,000 will be whites and more than 8,850,000 blacks, if each of the races has maintained its ratio of increase as computed in the last census, or 29.20 per cent for the whites and 84.- 67 for the blacks. But we doubt that the negroes are increasing so much fast- er proportionately. If they are, and if they go on at that rate, they will form one-third of the population by the md- dle of the next century. The New York Sun makes this estimate of the present population of the different divisions oft he Union: NEW ENGLAND STATES. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con- necticut. Population, 1880, 4,010,529 ; in 1889, 4,500,000, MIDDLE STATES. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva- nia, Delaware, Maryland, West Virgin- ia. Population, 1880, 12,196,886 ; 1890 15,000,000. WESTERN STATES. California !Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Or- egon, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin. Population, 1880, 16,605,081 ; 1890, 23,500,000. SOUTHERN STATES. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana. Mississippi, Mis- souri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia. Popula- tion, 1880, 16,837,317; 1890, 22,000,000. According to these estimates the West and South are close together in popula- tion. Since 1880 New England has gained about one-eighth of its popula- tion, the Middle States more than one- fifth, the Western States more than two-fifths, and the Southern States about one-third. In 1880 there were in the Southern States 6,113,064 negroes, and if their number has increased at the ra- tio of the last decade it is now 8,232,449, or nearly two-fifths of the whole. This indicates the proportions of the negro problem in the near future. Under the law the taking of the cen- sus, as regards the enumeration of pop- ulation, must be completed within 15 days in the towns and within 30 days in the country districts. Mr. Porter, the superintendent of the census, ex- pects with the aid of electrical comput- ing machines to give the principal re- sultg within 20 days after the last sched- ule has been received. Is is probable, therefore, that we shall know the exact number of the population before the |1st of August. This congress at the ses- sion next year will be able to make an apportionment of representatives in con- gress and presidential electors. An Alarming Condition of Affairs in Kansas, TorEKA, Kan., March 17.—The Far- mers’ Alliance, which has within. six months become the most powerful far- mers’ organization that Kansas has ever known, has through its president address- ed an open letter to the Kansas delega- tion in Congress calling their attention to the alarming condition of the agri- cultural interests of the State and de- manding legislation for their relief. The letter says : “We call attention to the fact that a single law firm in one city in Southern Kansas now has the contract for the fore- closure of 1,800 mortgages. This means 1,800 homesteads transferred from the hands of so many industrious families to the hands of capitalists, either domes- tic or foreign. The foreclosure of these mortgages is in accordance with a pre- conceived purpose to gain possession of these farms and people them with a more servile tenantry, imported from foreign lands for this especial purpose. Foreclosures and evictions are taking place in very many parts of our State, and we need not go all the way to Eu- rope to witness scenes of cruelty in mat- ters of this kind. All oyer the State the homes of our people are imperiled. They are struggling against adverse cir- cumstances and against hope to sustain themselves until relief shall come. The poeple believe that these conditions are argely due to vicious legislation, “They have been promised by each of the great political parties that some- thing would be done for their relief ; both parties have been tried and both have thus far failed even to attempt any measure contemplating a betterment of the condition of the industrial classes. They have seen that while they have been compelled to sacrifice their pro- ducts in many instances absolutely below cost of production in order to procure the common necessities of life, and in the effort, in many cases unsuccessful, to keep the sheriff from invading their homes, their representatives in Con- gress are engaged in the consideration of every imaginable question except such as contemplate relief to the distress of their constituents. “There are measures which the far- mers demand shail have immediate at- tention These relate to questions of money, of transportation, and their ownership of American lands.” The letter then goes on to say: “The distress of the people is crying aloud for relief. They believe that very many of the qaestions that are receiv- ing the attention of Congress are fur less urgent than those upon whic the safety of their homes and the welfare of their families depend. They believe that the white citizens have some rights as well as the colored citizens of the South. They believe that the fallen heroes, both liberty and perpetuity of our institu- tions can afford to wait for one minute until therights of living heroes in the ceive some recognition by the men who! have been chosen to represent them in Congress. Behind these demands are ! more than 100,000 ballots in the State of | Kansas, and the time is coming and is | not far distant when the legislators will | need the voice of their constituents. Ur Irish Girls Stop a Mill. 700 Hands Out of Work Because of a Rumpus Over St. Patrick Decoration. Farv River, Mass., March 16.— An amusing, but serious strike is on at the Hargraves Mill here, which has temporarily thrown 700 hands out of work, Some 200 pretty girls are the cause, but this time the trouble is be- tween themselves and not with the cor- poration. In the carding room there has been some trouble for some time, the Irish girls on one side, headed by Miss O’Cal- laghan, and the English girls, supported by the American and Scotch maidens on the other. The rumpus, which, aid- ed and upheld by the men hands, has been over Irish politics, each side taking all opportunities to slur at the other. The approach of the 17th of March saw the Brn girls prepare to celebrate. They went to some expense to decorate their machines with green ribbons, which were promptly torn down by some unknown member of the other faction. On Friday the Irish girls came to work, all decked out with green ribbons. The other side heard of it and showed up appareled with blue and orange. This led at once to a quarrel, during which Miss O'Callaghan accused a Yankee girl of destroying their decorations and slapped her. She was in return knocked out by a strapping English young wo- man. The result was a general scrim- mage, which was only stopped by the overseer and male help after consider- ble damage had been done to feminine toilets. The girls at once quit work un- til the other side promised to dispense with their decorations. This the Irish girls refused to do, and so the whole mill is at a standstill, while the agent is in despair. New Advertisements. EF: RENT.-Small dwelling house, Pleasant and convenient.
