beggarly pay for the head of the police

ty of a city.
——Some very old people are dying

Rev. H. K. Felton.
——The firemen of Huntingdon had
their hands full last Friday afternoon.
The residence of Mr. Thomas B. Boring
took fire and was damaged to the
amount of about $500 before the flames
were extinguished, and scarcely was this
attended to before fire broke out in the
Eagle hotel. That neither of these fires
was allowed to extend is evidence that
the firemen of that place understood
their business.
BorouGcH BusiNess.—At a meeting
of the borough council on Monday
avening the application of Mr. E.
Graham for the exoneration of his
taxes for 1888 and 1889 was referred to
the Finance Committee with a favorable
recommendation. The Water Commit-
tee. recommended the laying of water
pipes on East Howard street at a cost of
about $125. Fire and Police Committee
recommended the purchase of 300 feet of
rubber hose for the Undine Hose Com-
pany at a cost of one dollar per foot.

a month. The Water Committee was
given permission to paint the water
works and the fence around the spring.

unanimously re-elected policemen for the
coming year at $35 per month.
Past NINETY.-—A correspondent in
speaking of the recent celebration of the
92nd birthday of the venerable Samuel
Hess, of Pine Grove Mills, says: It
was in 1831 that he came to Pine Grove
Mills and settled where he now lives.
He raised a family of eight children,
six'of whom are still living and holding
prominent positions in business and so-
ciety. “Pap” Hess has always been
known as a man governed by upright
principles, and has held many positions
of praminence in Centre county. He has
a very remarkable memory, and relates
his early adventures in a most enter-
taining manner. Itis a real treat and
pleasure to spend a day with him. He
is a most consistent Lutheran and the
oldest member of the Lutheran church
at Pine Grove Mills. It is the hope of
his children and friends to meet
him again on his next birthday.
Lock HAVEN GYPSIES.—A mong a
tribe of gypsies encamping at Williams-
port are a couple who are well known
in Lock Haven. They are Charles
Humberger and his wife Mary, who not
over three years ago lived in that city.
Mrs. Humberger is better known by her
maiden name, Mary Worley, and any
person who once knew her could readily
recognize her by her peculiar personsl
appearance. Mary has an interesting
history, and those who knew her when
a young girl say that she was at one
time considered neat and pretty looking.
The couple are evidently only a late
addition to the “tribe,” as gypsies style
themselves, but they bid fair to become
two of its influential members. When
questioned by a G. and B. reporter
Charles stated that he had been roaming
around over the country for the past few
years, and that the life he was leading
suited him. He was rather reticent and
did not state when he joined the band.
NEARLY A CENTENNARIAN.—The
friends and relatives of Mrs. Jane Mays,
the oldest resident of Tyrone, one day
last week gave her a party to celebrate
her 98th birthday. The old lady is well
known in Centre couty. Among those
at the entertainment were all her sur-
viving children, and a number of
her grand-children and great-grand-
children were also present.
Mrs. Mays was born in Huntingdon
county, the fifteenth day of April, 1792,
and now when only two years short of
the century mark, she is as hale and
hearty as many a person thirty or forty
years younger. She reads without the
assistance of spectacles, sews neatly, and
last summer she made jelly: Her mem-
ory is excellent. She recalls vividly the
story of the hanging of James Monks at
Bellefonte in 1819, which has been re-
hearsed lately in the papers in connec-
tion with accounts of the recent execu-
tions in Centre county. She is a remark-
able old lady and bids fair to live. some
years yet.
Is MARRIAGE A FAILURE. —Mrs.
Belva A. Lockwood, a most distin-
guished Washington lawyer, and the
only woman ever nominated for the
Presidency, will deliver her justly cele-
brated lecture, “Is Marriage a Failure?
no sir I” in the Court House on Tues-
day evening April 29th, 1890, for the
benefit of the senior class of the Belle-
fonte High School, the proceeds to be
devoted to the purchase of books for the
library of the High School.
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle says :
The curiosity to see and hear Mrs.
Belva Lockwood, added to the flattering
but truthful things which the Eagle said
about her yesterday,sufficiently account-
ed for the great throng that awaited her
coming at Everett Hall last evening.
The auditorium was crowded to its
utermost capacity. Her appeafance
was the signal for a burst of applause
and when it had subsided the only wo-
man who ever ran for President of the
United States delivered an exceedingly
interesting and able address on the sub-
ject, “Is Marriage a Failure?” It was
what we prophesied itwould be, an
“intellectual treat.” Her lecture com-
bined humor, pathos, eloquence and
logic, and, as a whole, in real strength,
in clear comprehensive grasp, in brilli-
ancy and in the rare blending of wit
and earnestness, we have never heard
her superior.”
——Some 7000 young trout from the
State hatchery were placed in Sinking
creek, one day recently, by Wm. Moyer
and Peter Jorden of Tussey ville.
——An important suit for damages is
pending in Huntingdon county, ex-sher-
iff Thomas K. Henderson,of Union Fur-
nace, claiming to have been damaged
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
In order to straighten their roadbed at
Union Furnace the railroad company
took up a strip of Mr. Henderson’s
land. The complainant avers that the
change thus made in the roadbed has
very materially injured the approaches
to his mill situated near by, and claims
damages to the amount ot $15,000 The
company offered him $600. Colonel D.
S. Keller, Constance Curtin, W. C. Pat-
terson, Samuel Gilliland and William
McFarland, all of Centre county, were
appointed jurors by the court to assess
the proper amount of damages sustained
by Mr. Henderson, The jury were en-
gaged all last week in hearing testimony
on both sides and will render their ver-
dict this week.
——The hop to be given by the class
of ’90 at the Pennsylvania State College
this evening is expected to equal in
grandeur the one given by Ward Mec-
Allister in New York last fall. Its
being the occasion of the opening
of the new armory and also of
t he inauguration of dancing at the col-
lege, will make it an event of great in-
terest to the students and patrons of this
rapidly growing institution. We un-
derstand that the list of invitations
number about one thousand nd a large
number of them have brought accep-
tances. With a polished maple floor
160x80 feet,and Stopper and Fiske’s en-
tire orchestra, the student, ought to be
able to make this their first dance an oc-
casion long to be remembered.
— The organization of the Union
veteran Legion, under the title of
Bellefonte Encampment, No 59, formed
last week, has the following officers:
Col. Commander—John I. Curtin;
Lieut. Colonel—Charles Smith ; Major
—Geo. E. Parker; Sergeant—Jas.
Thompson ; Chaplain—W. H. Musser;
Adjutant—G. B. Brandon; Quarter-
master—Cyrus Goss; Officer of Day—
Amos Mullen ; Officer of Guard—Wm-
Gehret ; Sergeant Major—W. H. Port;
Quartermaster Sergeant—H. H. Benner;
Color Sergeant— Wm. Garis. It started
with 35 charter members, and its regular
meeting nights will be the second and
fourth meeting nights of each month, in
the Gregg Post rooms.
——The Renovo News says: John A.
Buck, a traveler of Alex, Beede & Co.,
Williamsport wholesale grocers, lost a
pocket-book containing $776 at the Re-
novo House Wednesday morning, $670
of the amount belonging to the firm for
which he is traveling, and he did not
relish the idea of losing the money. Joe
Southern, Will Elliot and Frank Meisel
found the pocketbook and returned it to
the loser. Mr. Buck rewarded the boys
by giving them $20—$10 to Joe South-
ern and $5 each to the other two.
——The Altoona club of the Inter-
State League will play a return game
of ball with the State college boys on the
college grounds on Wednesday afternoon,
April 80th, at 1:30 p. m. sharp. The
Altoona’s are one of the strongest teams
in the League,but the collegians are go-
ing to work hard to win their first game
at home. All lovers of good base ball
should attend the game, as this will bea
rare opportunity of seeing good teams
play.
——The new Presbyterian church at Mill
Hall was dedicated last Sunday. Rev.
Pomeroy, the pastor, was assisted by
Revs. Freeman, of Huntingdon, and
Hartman,of Lock Haven. The amount
required to clear the building was about
$1,800 and the people responded liber-
ally, raising the entire sum in a com-
paratively short time and leaving the
edifice free of all encumbrances. The
cost of the building complete, excluding
individual windows, was $5,800.
——Superintendent Westfall, of the
P. &. E. railroad, has succeeded Thom-
as Gucker as Superintendent of the
Philadelphia division of the Pennsylva-
nia railroad, the latter gentleman tak-
ing the place of Mr. Neilson as general
superintendent of the Sunbury division
of the Northern Central. Mr. West-
fall’s location will be in Harrisburg.
——Numerous California trout have
been caught in Cold Stream this season
already, and some of them have been
very large. The fact that these trout
were put in the stream only two or three
years ago demonstrates the wisdom of
continually stocking the stream with
them in addition to our Pennsylvania
beauties.— Philipsburg Journal.
——Next Monday evening Prof. and
Mrs. Bonbright, assisted by their classes
in elecution and music, will give a con-
cert in the rooms of the Y. W. C. T. U.
in Crider’s Exchange building, which
will embrace an exceedingly interesting
programe,
——The lecture of Belva ;Lockwood,
under the auspices of the graduating
class of the Bellefonte High School, in
the Court House,next Tuesday evening,
will ba worth hearing by those who
want to know whether marriage is a
failure,
TaE CLARA PRICE MONUMENT.—A
correspondent of the Pittsburg Times
writes to that paper as follows: I have
a suggestion to make which TI hope yoa
will not consider altogether a Quixotic
one. In your issue of March 3, you
speak of a movement being on foot to
raise money for the erection of a monu-
ment for the murdered girl, Clara Price.
1 believe a very simple memorial is
projected, as the sum to be raised is
only about $300. We have many
magnificent monuments setting forth
the valor and heroic deeds of man, but I
believe there is not a single stone in all
the world that has ever been raised to
the honor of any woman who valued
her virtue greater than her life.
Could not the Times take up this no-
ble work, and instead of the fund being
fixed at $300, let it be ten times more ?
With such backing as your paper
would give the enterprise, its success
would be assured, and then no mean
tablet would mark the last resting place
of the noble girl, “Pretty Clara Price.”
One of your readers,
JEssIE B. SmITH.
Jeannette Pa., April 16.
To this the editor of the Times adds:
The movement to erect a monument to
the memory of Clara Price, who was
brutally murdered in Centre county a
few months ago while defending her
honor, by Alfred Andrews, is in the
hands of citizens of Centre county. E.
I. Gilliland, of Pottersdale; J. A. Heck-
endorn and W. B. Potter, of Karthaus,
have been designated as the committee
on funds. Mr. Potter writes the Times
that the committee has received about
$250 ; that the people who knew Clara
Price are too poor to give much and that
contributions from other counties will
t hankfully be received and properly ep-
plied.
A QUADRUPLE CHRISTENING.—Says
the Philipsburg Journal of Friday:
The quartette of girl babies born to the
wife of Michael Newton, of this place,
February 12, were baptized on Sunday,
at St. John’s Roman Catholic church,
at Scotdale. Only a few persons were
present and those mostly friends of the
Newton family. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Father Lambing,
pastor of the church. The little ones
were christened Agnes, Aloysia, Ada
and Agatha. The children are healthy
looking and it is with difficulty one can
be distinguished from another.
The parents are natives of Ireland
and are in poor circumstances, Mr. New-
ton working at mining and getting only
four days’ work each week. The pic-
tures of the babies have been taken
and one sent to Queen Victoria, also
one to President Harrison. They have
been copyrighted and will be put on
sale for the benefit of the family.
A SiN¢ULAR WARNING.—The Phil-
ipsburg Ledger mentions the following
singular case: Mr. A. P. Lucas, of
this place, went out into the country on
Monday to sell wire fencing, for which
he is the agent. While working at his
business down below Kylertown, he
became impressed with a feeling that
something had happened, and that he
ought to go home. He tried to dismiss
the feeling, but it clung to him and at
last he yielded to the conviction and on
Thursday morning started home. On
his arrival he found a telegram announc-
ing the death of his brother, Mr. J. P-
Lucas, which occurred on Monday. The
funeral took place on Wednesday. The
dead man was a resident of Marsh Creek, |
this county. He was a married man
about 40 years of age. If Mr. A. P.
Lucas had obeyed the conviction of
trouble and come home at once, he
might have had the melancholy satisfac-
tion of attending the funeral. He feels
sorely troubled that he did not heed the
singular warning.
BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY.—On
Thursday of last week the hospitable
home of John S. Hoy, near Jackson-
ville, in Marion township, was the
scene of mirth and jovial pleasure. It
being his sixty-fifth birthday, his sons
and daughters conceived a plan of sur-
prising Mr. Hay and the inmates of the
old home by calling on him in a} body
in the form of a reunion party, although
it was a very busy time, as he lives on
the farm and has a big spring crop to
put out. On the morning of the sur-
prise the friendly callers found the old
gentleman in the field busily engaged
in plowing. Of course the family knew
nothing of the party, it being indeed a
surprise, and it was only after quile a
number had arrived that Mr. Hoy be-
gan to comprehend the strange but very
pleasant proceedings of his sons and
sons-in-law. When he finally unhitch-
ed his team from the plow and went
home, with as much pleasure as aston-
ishment he there met all of his children
and grand-children, as follows: Four
sons: Z. W. Hoy, wife and family, from
Clinton county; J. A. Hoy, wife and
family, from Zion ; J. C. Hoy, living
at the old homestead ; and J. F. Hoy,
wife and family, from Hublersburg.
The sbns-in-law were, Wm. Corman,
of Marion township, with wife and fam-
ily ; Henry Lesh, of Zion, with wife
and family ; J. C, Wilson, of Marion,
with wife and family ; G. M. Harter,
of Marion, with wife and family. Nine
children, one being a boy about nine
years old, twenty-four 'grand-children,
and a couple of farmhands, composed
the party, and when the many well-fill-
ed baskets were emptied and the table
was loaded with relishable refreshments
the enjoyment began and all did justice
to the elegant entertainment prepared
by the kind and affectionate children.
Presents to the old gentleman] were
given by the following persons: A
spittoon by Mrs. Caroline Lesh; a
mustache cup and saucer, by Emma P.
Hoy; a black silk muffler, by Mrs.
John E. Hoy; a shaving mug, by Ray-
mond Harter; an umbrella, by Mrs. Z.
W. Hoy; a handkerchief, by Henry
Lesh; fancy mug, by Mabel G. Hoy;
a pair of hose by Rebecca Corman; a
pocketbook by John H. Hoy ; a pair of
suspenders by John C. Hoy ; a bottle of
wine, by Eve Corman; a smoke pipe,
by Wm. Corman; a pair of slippers by
Mrs. G. M. Harter; a pair of suspenders
by Alfred Corman; a pipe, by Wm.
Felamale; a pair of ornamental jugs, by
Harry S. Hoy ; a pair of slippers, by
Mrs. J. A. Hoy; a cake stand, by Mrs.
Z. W. Hoy; a plush album by Z. W.
Hoy ; a pair of slippers, by Mrs. C. H.
‘Wilson ; a box of cigars, by G. F. Hoy;
a pair of hose, by Harvey Hoy; a hard-
kerchief, by Cyrus Hoy; a handker-
chief, by Carrie Harter; oranges by
Harry Corman ; a handkerchief by OC.
W. Hoy ; a handkerchief, by Wm.
Corman ; a fine shirt, by Mrs. C. Cor-
man ; a hendkerchief, by Edna Wilson;
a handkerchief, by Emma Corman ; a
quarter of a pound of tobacco, by
George Wilson.
The following were received by Mrs.
John S. Hoy: A black bordered hand-
kerchief from Mabel G. Hoy; a hand-
kerchief from Emma C. Hoy; [an
apron and handkerchief from Mrs,
William Corman.
After dinner was over amusements
were engaged in, merry laughing and
talking prevailed, and music added its
charms to the entertainment. Mrs. G.
F. Hoy played on the organ, with a
violin accompaniment by J. C. Hoy.
In every respect it was a delightlul re-
union, and will long be remember by
those who took part in it.
Was HE RoBBED?—Yesterday we
printed the burning of the residence of
Hiram Crouse at Lairdsville, Lycom-
ing county, and the sad death of Mr.
Crouse in the flames. It is now report-
Ax Excrrine Fire.—Last Wednes-
day evening the!people of our town were |
thrown into great excitement by the sud-
den appearance of a brilliant light on
East Linn Street which looked from the |
lower portions of the town as1f a great
conflagration was prevailing in that di-
rection. It was soon discovered that a
fire had broken outin the large stable |
of Mr. M. Cowdrick, which spread with !
such rapidity and burned with such
fierceness that the building was soon en-
veloped in flames. It being a fine |
evening everybody rushed to the scene
and the firemen were promptly on hand, |
but it was impossible to do more than to ,
save the neighboring buildings. The
roof of Mr. J. C. Harper's stable near
by was burned off and also Judge Orvis’s |
chicken pen. The stable where the fire |
originated was burned to the ground
ens, a couple of carts and a wagon, and |
a quantity of corn, oats and hay. As
with great rapidity,the animals could not !
be rescued . Oneof the horses belonged
to Mr. Samuel Gault. The loss sustained
by Mr. Cowdrick amounted to about
$1000, on which we have not learned
whether there was any insurance. The
firemen labored under the disadvantage
of a scarcity of water. How the fire
originated is 4 mystery.
ed that some of the people of Lairdsville
think he was robbed of his money
and the store set on fire to cover up
the marks of the thieves. While this
is believed by many, others will not
accept it as truth. Tt is positively
known that Mr. Orouse had nearly
$400 in coin on last Saturday, yet a
dozen men have been scraping the
cellar of the store and not a dollar has
yet been found. A gentleman was seen
from Lairdsville this afternoon and he
states that the people are growing more
suspicious of foul play. They have only
found one coin with all their work, this’
being a $2.50 gold piece, and was found
some feet away foom the cellar, showing
that it had likely been dropped by the
| thieves. —Lock Haven Democrat.
DEATH oF NorMAN H. HooVER.—A

IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SPRING AND
Water HouskE.—The improvements
which Superintendent Rine, of the Wa-
ter Department, is making around the
spring and at the pumping house are
worthy of notice, and we are gratified
that council has shown iis appreciation
of his efforts by directing that the house
and the fence around the water premises
should be painted. He has lately given
the spring a thorough cleaning, which
he does annually, and, in addition, has
straightenel its banks which he will cov-
er with crushed limestone to the extent
of about eight feet under water. He
also intends to put a gravel walk around
the spring. These improvements will
make it one of the most attractive places
in the town.
——Ex-Governor Curtin, who had
been out of town for several months,

tion from his old friends and associ-
ates, returned home last Friday even-

showing no traces of the grip by which
he was taken down during his absence.
We are glad to be able to say that the
old war governor is in a good state of
bodily preservation.
