be a handsome Queen Anne structure.
——Lycoming county’s treasury is
empty, and the Commissioners will be
compelled to borrow money. This
would be the fix that Centre county
finances would be in if the Commission-
ers’ office should continue to be in
Republican hands for another term,

condition in Lycoming on account of
the expenses caused by the June flood.
——Judge Woodward,of Wilkesbarre,
has made a decision which is of impor-
tance to working men. In a case
brought before him he decided that
where a workman quits or is discharged,
he is entitled to immediate pay. The

work and}'demanding his wages. The
company wanted him to wait until pay
day, but he refused, brought suit, and
won his case.
meeting of the Borough Council last
Monday evening, a petition was receiv-
ed from the Undine Hose company for
‘Water committee reported that it had
been decided to lay 1} inch water pipe
on Howard street for a distance of 240
feet opposite cemetery. They had ad-
vertised for digging ditch, also had ad-
vertised for bids to supply water works
with coal for one year. A reporton
the Magill property on Spring street
was made by the Fire and Police com-
mittee which pronounced it a public
danger and recommended it to be re-
moved.
There were only two bids for supply-
ing the water works with coal, one from
Hoover and Miller and the other from
the Bellefonte Fuel and Supplyj Com-
pany. The former offered to furnish
best Snow Shoe coal at $1.65 per net
ton. The latter best bituminous, deliv-
ered from the car, at $1.69 per ton. The
decision was held over until next meet-
ing night. By vote of Council, Water
committee was ordered to cut off the
water supply from the two Cherry fam-
ilies in Bush’s addition on account of
their failure to pay water tax. The con-
tract was awarded to Thomas H. Clark
for digging the ditch on Howard street
at 12 cents per foot for digging ard fill-
ing. The Water committee was given
permission to purchase one or two water
meters. The bonds of Samuel Delige,
High Constable, and James Schofield,
Overseer of Poor, were received and ap-
proved. S. A. Brew was’ exonerated
from payment of taxes for 1889.
Borough Solicitor Dale advised
against giving special privilege in exon-
erating theatrical license, but advised
that it should be general, and the ordi-
nance; that was intended to apply espe-
cially to the Garman Opera house will
be made of general application. The
Keystone Club, (colored) petitioned coun-
cil to appoint a colored policeman in
the person of A. B. Jackson. On mo-
tion of Mr. Potter it was ordered that
an application be made to the Post Of-
flce department for a free mail delivery
in Bellefonte. Poor Overseer Schofield
asked Council to make arrangements to
take broken stone from him which he
has had broken and paid for out of the
borough fund, and he also asked for the
paving of Thomas street. The Street
committee was directed to visit all parts
of town and see that the board walks
are put in good condition. :
THE DarLy NEws PROPERLY RE-
BUKED.—The Williamsport Gazette and
Bulletin administers the following mer-
ited rebuke :
The Bellefonte Daily News feels call-
ed upon to come to the defense of Sher-
iff Robert Cooke, of Centre, and in the
run of some incoherent observations on
the Andrews article appearing in this
paper, takes occasion to give a lecture
on statements this paper never made.
Our esteemed contemporary may not
know that the Gazette and Bulletin
does not engage to give sensational
news. All genuine news is sensational,
but sensation for the pure love of the
thing is not news, and this truth we de-
sire to press home upon our bi-metallic
brother up in P. Gray Meek’s prosper-
ous kingdom. It is entirely too well
known that the man Andrews has been
fondled and petted in such disgusting
ways as to excite general remark, and
the continual engagements in sentimen-
tality in which the Karthaus murderer
has figured have been the subject of
much censure. As a friend of the Sher-
iff and with a view to his own good we
admorish him of this in the hope that
he would vetoall further maukish enter-
tainments and receptions at the Belle-
fonte jail. Perhaps he has done this.
If he has not no one will suffer more in
future days than himself. The News
has the distinct privilege to say all it
pleases, but should cultivate decency in
the way of strictures and above "all see
that it knows all about the subject it
elects to handle. Otherwise it will be
as wrong in conclusion as it was in its
criticism intended for this journal.
DEATH oF AN OLD AND PROMINENT
Lawyger.—In the recent death of Hon.
Samuel Calvin, Blair county lost one of
its ablest lawyers and most prominent
citizens. He was in his 79th year.
Born in Columbia county, his educa-
tion was received at Kirkpatrick’s cele-
brated school at Milton, from whieh he
went to take charge of the academy in
Huntingdon. At that place he studied
law withJames M. Bell, esq., and was
admitted to the barin 1836, immediate-
ly commencing practice at Hollidays-
burg where he resided to the time of his
death. As a member of the Legislature
in 1846 he was instrumental in having
the county of Blair formed out of parts
of Bedford, Huntingdon and Cambria
counties, and he was elected to congress
as a Whig, in 1848, from the district
omposed of the counties of Blair, Hunt-
ingdon, Mifflin, Juniata and Centre
counties, He was also a member of the
convention that framed the new State
constitution in 1874.
——Four hundred passes to see the
execution of Andrews, issued by the
Sheriff, is an unnecessarily large number.
CoUNCIL. MEETING.—At a regular!
300 feet of hose, which was referred to |
the Fire and Police committee. The

{ ——C. 8. McCormick, of Lock Ha-
| ven, is being boomed in Clinton county
as a Democratic candidate for State Sena-
tor in the district composed of Centre,
Clinton and Clearfield counties, now
represented by Senator Betts of the lat-
ter county.
——Mr, T. B. Jamison, one of Gregg
township’s solid Democrats and reliable
citizens, has pulled up stakes and with
his family moved to Altoona. "We hope
he may find his new home not only
pleasant, but profitable to an extent not
even dreamed of.
——The brothers, C. J. & J. H. Reil-
ly, esqrs., the former a practicing attor-
ney at Williamsport, the latter a prom-
inent business man of Philipsburg, this
county, and both of them rattling good
Democrats, attended court in this place
during t he early part of the week.
Senator Ingalls wants pensions
to be granted to women who may mar-
ry disabled veterans, with the privil-
ege of getting a divorce at an expense
of five dollars. And yet this assis con-
sidered the big man of the Republican
Senate,
——Renovo paid an unusual tribute
to St. Patrick last Monday by a parade
which was so large as to require four
aids to assist the Chief Marshal, Mr. M.
J. McMahon. The Renovo News
caught on to the spirit of the occasion to
such an extent as to appear printed in
green ink.
——1In addition to the change of time
in closing the mails, as given in the
postal schedule published elsewhere
to-day, Postmaster Fiedler has decided
to keep the office open each evening
until the arrival of the nine o'clock
mail, which will be distributed and de-
livered the same evening.
——The Republican county com-
mittee met in the office of its chairman,
L. L. Brown, esq., in this place, last
Tuesday afternoon, and decided to hold
the county convention for the election
of delegates to the State Convention, on
Monday, March 31st. They passed a
resolution endorsing Gen. D. H. Hast-
ings for Governor.
——Last Monday evening Terrance
Murray, a workman at the Morris lime-
stone quarry at this place, was severely in-
jured by the premature explosion of a blast
while he was engaged in stamping down
the powder. His face, neck and hands
were badly burned, but it is fortunate
that the accident did not prove fatal to
him.
— We have an invitation to the
held in that place on the evening of
April 8th, and which promises to be a
most enjoyable affair. If we don’t have
to stay home and nurse the baby it is
possible we may run down and show
the young bloods of Lock Haven what
a newspaper man knows about dancing.
——Some half dozen civil cases were
tried at the special court this week be-
fore Judge Krebs, the most important
of which were, A. Morris Waln and
Howard Conrow, administrators of T.
Conrow, dec’d, vs. Benjamin Rich,
the plaintiffs getting a verdict for $6,-
007.06 ; and the Merchantile National
Bank of New York vs. Bernard Lauth,
verdict for plaintiff for $3,441.87.
— This is the way they treat boys
who play hooky in Huntingdon: Says
the News: “Two boys were arrested by
Officer Graham yesterday at the instiga-
tion of the parents, for playing truant,
and were placed in the lockup. ‘When
caught by the officer they were playing
marbles, and did not know the cause of
the arrest until it was explained in the
evening after they were taken from the
lockup and returned to their parents.
The boys promised to do better and save
their parents the sorrow thatdisobedient
children will bring upon them.”
Wao CAN'T BE CENSUS ENUMERA-
TORS. —According to law the following
officers are not eligible to the position
of census enumerator: Justice of the
Peace, notary public, mayor, recorder,
burgess or alderman of any city, corpo-
rate town or borough, resident physician
of the lazaretto, constable, judge, inspec"
tor or clerk of election under this Com-
monwealth. Concerning this fact,Capt.
Bricker, the Census Supervisor of this
district, gives the following notice: «I
will not recommend for appointment as
enumerator of census any person direct-
ly or indirectly concerned, either in the
assessment of property for taxation, or
in the actual levying of taxation in this
district, the observance of which is made
absolutely imperative under letter of in-
struction (7-7067) dated March 5, 1890,
issued to supervisors by the Superinten-
dent of Census. All applicants will
please inform me if they come under
any of the above exceptions, and thus
relieve me from further inquiry into
their cases.’

UNFAIR AND UNJUST ACTION OF THE
Court.—We can’t believe that the ac-
tion of the Court in refusing license to
the Haas brewery in Benner township
will secure the approval of those of our
citizens who have a regard for fair play
and equal justice. If, in refusing this
license,it was the purpose of the Court to
suppress, or even to limit, the use of |
beer in this neighborhood, the desire to
promote the cause of temperance might
be claimed as a justification for its action.
But it can hardly be believed that the
Court does not know that the use of |
malt liquor as a beverage in Bellefonte
and vicinity is not appreciably diminish-
ed by the suppression of the Haas |
brewery—that while the supply from
that establishment is cut of, beer from a |
distance is brought here to meet the de-
wand to the fullest extent. The busi-
ness of that brewery has been
suspended for more than a year,
and yet there does not appear to be less
beer drank in this town than there was
when it was in full operation. The
only difference is $n the locality of
its production. Rochester, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and other places produce
it instead of Benner township—the
money to pay for it goes away instead of
being kept at home, and those who
profess to know say that] the imported
beer is not of as wholesome a quality as
the home article.
If the question of beer or no beer in
this community hinged upon the Haas
license, the Court might claim a moral
motive for its refusal, but as the diserim-
ination against the Haas establishment
does not perceptibly diminish the use of
malt liquor in this neighborhood, and is
therefore unproductive of benefit to the
temperance interest, there isreason to re-
gard it in no other light than that of un-
mitigated and inexcusable unfairness
and injustice.
View or CENTRE COUNTY BY A Bus-
1NEss VisiTor.—The Williamsport Re-
publican says that Abe Good, the sev-
enth ward miller of that city, had a
pleasant trip through Nittany and
Penn’s Vallys one day last week. He left
home in the early morning train for
Bellefonte and came home on Fast Lire
last evening by way of Lewisburg and
Montandon, having traveled about one
hundred and fitty miles. Abe says
it is worth any man’s while to take this
trip, and that he passed through one of
‘the richest farming countries in Central
| Pennsylvania. Although there are good
farms, the people do not seem to get
along very well, and he says he could
have bought good work horses for from
$40 to $50 a piece, and cows were pro-
portionately cheap. He says there are
the prettiest mountain streams in the
State in that county, and he saw hun-
dreds of men and boys who had noth-
ing else to do but fish for suckers which
| they caught by the dozens. While
| away he bought 2,500 bushels of wheat
to be delivered in May. He makes these
trips several times a year and finds time
to admire the country while doing busi-
ness on the circuit.
A GRANGER MoVE AND COMBINA-
r10N.—The Patrons of Centre county,
under the auspices of Centre county
Pomona Grange, No. 13, have purchas-
ed twenty-five acres of land adjacent to
the beautiful town of Centre Hall for
their picnic ground. The price paid
$2,875.
The Grangers’ Great Picnic Exhibi-
tion of Central Pennsylvania will be
held on these grounds during the week
of September 15th to 20th inclusive,
just two weeks after the closing of the
Granger’s Interstate Picnic Exhibition
at Williamsgrove, Pa. There is every
indication, at this writing, that these
two great meetings of farmers will be
more largely attended than ever. Itis
now definitely ascertained that many ex-
hibitors will ship their machinery direct
from Williams’ Grove to Centre Hall,
and a number of the largest manufac-
turers in the country have determined
within the last two weeks to make Wil-
liams’ Grove and Centre Hall their only
points of exhibition.
How A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE WAS
CAPTURED.—Itis said that Esq. Rank-
in, of Karthaus, who was a prominent
witness in the Andrews murder trial,
while attending court here in that case,
met an attractive widow at the hotel
where he was stopping. He was greatly
pleased with her, and the feeling turned
out to be mutual. The week after the
trial the Squire again made a visit to
Bellefonte, invited the lady to go with
him on a visit to Karthaus, showed her
his house and surroundings, offered
them all to her on condition than she
would accept him for better or for worse,
and she accepted the offer.
A VaLuasBLe HorsE.—The Lock
Haven Democrat congratulates the
Clinton county farmers on having se-
cured from E. Bennett & Sons, im-
porters, the famous thoroughbred stal-
lion, Duke of Blackburn. This horse
was sold last Friday to & syndicate
for $3000, through this firm’s agent,
H. P. Reynolds. The farmers ap-
procinte the fact that such a horse will
produce saleable horses and is a pay-
ing investment. A few years hence
they will realize that the services of
this horse are valuable in increased
prices of horse flesh, hence big profits.
NorMAL ScHooL AT Z1oN.—The citi-
zens of the beautiful village of Zion
have secured the services of Prof. S. H.
Ditzel of Lancaster, Pa., who will open
a Normal and Classical School about
the 14th of April. Altogether this is a
wost desirable opportunity for those
who desire to prepare for teaching or
want to take a College course. The
school will be well patronized.
A DiSTRESSING AcCCIDENT.—On
Wednesday afternoon while a little
child of Prof. Pond, of State College,
was playing about the house a snow ball,
thrown by some boy outside, broke a
window, scattering the glass in all di-
rections, a piece of it striking the babe
i in the left eye, cutting the pupil open
and injuring it so badly as to destroy
the sight, it is feared forever. Dr.
Glenn, of State College, and Dr. Hayes,
of this place, were called in, and after
| doing what they could to relieve the
little sufferer, advised that it be taken
at once to Philadelphia for treatment,
| which was done.
License IN HuNTiNGDON.— With re-
gard to the license question before the
court of Huntingdon county, a dispatch
from the county seat on Tuesday said:
For the first time in three years peti-
tions were presented to the Court here
to-day for license to sell liquor. Under
three years of nominal prohibition,
speak-easies and private drinking club®
have sprung up all over this county.
This coming to the attention of Judge
Furst to-day became the text for a very
pointed and vigorous stricture on the
prohibition advocates whom he accused
of being responsible for its existence.
Judge Furst is favorable to the granting
of license to responsible applicants, but
as the same Associate Judges who over-
ruled him three years ago are still on
the Bench, a favorable decision on the
present applications is simply conject-
ural.
INTERESTING LEGAL REMINISCENCE.—
Among the old documents and records
in the office of the Prothonotary of Clin-
ton county, says the Lock Haven KEz-
press, there are none more interesting to
a person searching for historical infor-
mation than the first docket in which
the court proceedings were recorded.
The first term was held on the 16th day
of December, A. D., 1839. Hon.
Thomas Burnside was president judge,
with Hon. John Fleming and Hon.
George Crawford as associate judges.
Philip Krebs was the Prothonotary.
At that term of the court the following
attorneys were admitted to: practice in
the several courts of Clinton county :
Francis C. Campbell,John Blanchard,
Joseph B. Anthony, Anson V. Parsons,
H. N. McAllister, Andrew G. Curtin,
Robert Fleming,James Gamble, H. M.
Bliss, James Armstrong, Henry D. El-
lis, Bond Valentine, James McManus,
James T. Hale, James Burnside, John
Hoffman, William M. Patterson, Theo-
dore Friend, F. A. Gwenner, Richard
‘Williams. During the year 1840 the fol-
lowing attorneys were admitted to prac-
tice : Richard Williams, Adolphus D.
‘Wilson, George W. Carskadden, J. W.
Maynard, H. T. Beardsley and Levi A.
Mackey.
It will be observed that a number of
theseattorueys were from Centre county,
the only one now living being Andrew
G. Curtin.

plications for license to sell liquor were
