tice must feel rather lonely, .
The game of ball to be played

arg-cordially invited to be present.
A Lock HAVEN STRIKE.—About
twenty of the workmen in the Kistler
tannery av Lock Haven struck for higher
wages on Monday morning. They de-
manded $1 a week more than they had
been getting, but Mr. Kistler refused to
comply with their'demand, saying that
he could not afford to pay any higher
wages than he has been paying. Upon
this answer to their demand some of the
the strikers returned to work at the
same rate as before, and the places of the
others were at once filled with new
men.
REVENUE FROM INTOXICATION, —The
Chief Burgess of Philipsburg turned
over $32.00 to the school directors of his
town as fines collected from persons ar-
rested for intoxication during the past
year, and several of the councilmen be-
came angry at this action under the be-
lief that fines should go into the borough
treasury. The Journal says the burgess
arose to his dignity when challenged
concerning it, and stated with emphasis,
“I took an oath to obey the laws of
Pennsylvania and I have done it.”
The burgess undoubtedly knows the
full import of the law.
F1eTTA WEAVER SENTENCED TO THE
PENITENTIARY.— Thursday morning of
last week Fietta Weaver, convicted of
voluntary manslaughter in killing An-
drew Weaver, was brought into Court to
receive her sentence, which was pronounc-
ed by Judge Furst to the effect that
she pay a fine of one dollar and undergo
imprisonment in the Western Peniten-
tiary for the period of two years and
three months. The Court said that if
an effort was made to secure her pardon
he would interest himself in her behalf.
On the same day Maggie Spiece who
pleaded guilty to the charge of theft
and felonious assault, was sentenced one
year to the Western Penitentiary, and
a similar sentence on Alfred Davis who
pleaded guilty of robbery.
A HaxpsoME PoriticiaAN.—The
Lock Haven Democrat, speaking of a
recent visit to that place, of L. L.
Brown, esq., Republican chairman of
Centre county, on political business, in-
dulged in the following remark: Mr.
Brown is an active worker for his party
and in the present contest is a strong
friend of Gen. Hastings. Politically he
is ‘way off, but personally is an excel-
lent citizen, a very pleasant gentleman
and popular with all parties. Facially,
Mr. Brown is handsome enough to be a
Democrat, and we have often wondered
how he could lend so much good-look-
ingness to the advancement of such a
bad cause. But, being a well-informed
man, we still have hopes of him and
have confident expectations of hearing
him somé day shout for Democracy and
General Jackson.
DEATH oF RICHEY BRIDGENS OF
Lock HAVEN.—We learn from the
Lock Haven Democrat that Robert Rich-
ey Bridgens, ex-Mayor of that place,
died at his residence on West Main
street last Tuesday morning,jaged 72
years, seven months and three days.
The demise of Mr. Bridgens was the re-
sult of a light attack of apoplexy, re-
ceived about two years ago, since which
time he had been slowly failing. About
seven weeks since he began to sink rap-
idly, but rallied again and was down
town in a carriage, about four weeks
ago, for the Inst time. During the whole
of his late illness, however, he was only
steadily in bed since Sunday last.
Mr. Bridgens was born at the old
Bridgens homestead about one mile west
of the city limits, October 10, 1817, and
nothwithstanding the fact that he was
an extensive contractor and often absent
from the city for weeks, and occasionally
for month’s, he neverjthought of making
any other spot than Lock Haven his
abiding place. He was well known
throughout the State and took an active
interest in politics, Politically he was
an earnest, out and out Democrat, and
did not hesitate to express himself in the
strongest terms where he felt that any
man or any measure deserved denuncia-
tion. Personally he was one of the
kindest-hearted and most generous of
men and injured himself financially by
the frequency and liberality with which
he loaned money and went upon other
people’s paper. In him the poor man
always found a friend, and he was a
liberal contributor, to the churches and
to charities, as well as to public enter-,
prises that he thought worthy, of all
sorts. He was a friendly, genial com-
panion, and in his more youthful days
was a very handsome man, and will
carry with him into the grave good
looks that many a younger man might
envy. His departure is a matter of
deep regret to the entire community.
Although a strong party man and pol-
itician; the deceased ‘gentleman never
was an office-seeker and never held any
publie position that we are aware of ex-
cept that of Mayor. He was an exten-
sive dealer in lumber, as well as contrac-
tor, and his business required all his at-
tention. He leaves a wife but no child-
ren. His funeral takes place to-day
(Friday) in Highland eemetery.
——Aaron Smith, of Philipsburg, and
James Dolan, of Pleasant Gap, have
been granted an increase of pension.
The Philipsburg Ledger of last
Saturday says: Robert Taylor is lying
in a most critical condition the result of
injuries received several months since in
an altercation with Capt. Clark, in
which Taylor was knocked, or fell down
a flight of cellar stairs, strikizg his head
on a stone wall. He was badly hurt at
the time but apparently recovered. His
recovery seems to have been temporary
and he is now in all likelihood on his
death bed. In the event of his death
n> criminal action can be taken against
Captain Clark, as the time for such ac-
tion has elapsed and no information
against the Captain was ever lodged by
Taylor. Besides Taylor was always
known as a man of evil disposition, and
it was the general opinion of the people
at the time that he only got what he de- !
served.——Since the publication of the
above Taylor has died and was buried
last Monday.
—1If the following picture drawn by
the Altoona Tribune is a correct one,
they must have a ‘dandy’ court in
Cambria county: “During last week
some singular incidents occurred in the
court at Ebensburg. For instance one
of the attorneys was swaggering drunk
during the progress ofa trial and be-
came 50 “humorous” and offensive as to
require the attention of the judge.
Aguin in the Peters gambling house
case, it is alleged the attorney for defen-
dant’prepared the bill of indictment for
the prosecuting attorney: The bill, as
everybody knows, did not hold water.
Is it likely that a defendant lawyer
would prepare a bill of indictment
against his client that would stand?
And still again may be cited the case al-
ready referred to, wherean attorney for
the prosecution referred to the defend-
ant as the —— ——liar in Cambria
county, the remark attacting no partic-
ular attention from either the court or
bar, just as if such inc’dents were of
common occurrence. Canbria has a
“dandy court.”
——The death of Hon. H. G. Fisher
leaves only three members of the Board
of Managers of the State Reformatory
at Huntingdon, Harry B. Tyler, of
Philadelphia, having resigned a few
weeks ago. The board is now com-
posed of Hon. Samuel McCamant, of
Tyrone, Col. W. W. Jennings, of Har-
risburg, and Hon. Alex Port, Hunting-
don. The vacancies, it is expected,
will be filled shortly by Governor
Beaver, and it is probable that one of
the new members will be from Phila-
delphia, where Mr. Tyler resides, and
the other from Huntingdon.
——There will be a burst of Belle-
fonte eloquence on Decoration day all
along the line. Clament Dale will orate
at Howard ; W. I. Swoop will do triple
oratorical service at Curtin, Miles-
burg and Unionville ; Governor Bsaver
will hold forth at Altoona; William E.
Gray at Pine Grove Mills ; D. F. Fort-
ney at Philipsburg, General Hastings at
Allentown, and Jack Dale is consider-
ing whether he shall accept the invita-
tion to speak at Unionville.
——TIsaac Sickler, of Towanda, Brad-
ford county, Pa., challenges any person
in Clinton and Centre counties to run a
foot race of from three to five hundred
yards, The race is to be run in Brad-
ford county and the purse to be from $50
to $100. Sickler must besick to think that
any Centre county runner will go all
the way to Bradford county to run with
him. Let him come down here if he
wants to be Leaten.
——Complaints are made about the
vandal conduct of visitors to the Union
cemetery who pluck the flowers which
sorrowing friends have planted on the
graves of their dead. If there is a pen-
alty for such conduct it should be en-
forced, and that such vandalism is allow-
ed to be practiced is not creditable to
those who have control of the ceme-
tery.
——One of the Chinese proprietors
of the laundry on Howard street was ar_
rested on Monday evening by officer
Folk for disorderly conduct at W. F.
Fleming's tailoring establishment, and
taken to jail. It is supposed that he is
slightly insane, which accounted for his
wanting to “shootee,’”” but it is more
likely that he was under the influence of
opium,
——Superintendent Bricker publishes
a schedule of the number of applicants
for enumerators in his districts. In
all there were 833 applications to fill
289 places. In Centre county 106 ap-
plied for the 82 districts. Of the enu-
merators appointed in this county 18
are soldiers. In the entire district 123
soldiers have been appointed.
Montgomery & Co. have made
their fine merchant tailoring store room
in' the Crider building perfectly daz-
zling at night by the introduction of
two are lights, which are fed from the
electric light plant. = The light they
furnish beats even day light in showing
off their goods to advantage.
A ball will be given in the rink

‘taller Commandery, No. 46, Knights
! Templar, of Lock Haven, tothe Grand

ing Knights Templar, on the evening of

A New TaroveH LINE--A secret
meeting of prominent railroad men was
held last week at Pittsburg for the pur-
pose of establishing a new thorugh line
from Chicago to New York which is sup-
posed to mean the extension of the Beech
Creek road from Curwinsville,Clearfield
county, through Punxsutawney, Jeffer-
son county, to a point in Indiana coun-
ty, where conjunction is easy with the
Pittsburg and Western. This route has
long been a Lehigh Valley scheme, as
near Punxsutawney the Lehigh Compa-
ny own 15,000 acres of soft coal territory.
Pittsburg is 80 miles from the former
place. It is proposed to connect the
new line now in contemplation between
‘Williamsport and New Castle, with the
Philadelphia and Reading for an East-
ern outlet, and with the Pittsburg and
Western, Pittsburg, Akron and Western
and Chicago and Atlantic between
Chicago and Pittsburg. It is claimed
that this route is one hundred miles
shorter than the shortest present route
and that there is no doubt but that the
scheme will be carried into effect.
——Last week the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company got rid ofthe obstruc-
tion of the large dam in the Juniata riv-
er two miles west of Huntingdon by
blowing it up. The dam has been the
cause of an immense amount of damage
to the railroad tracks in timeof flood and
was of no use. Six hundred pounds of
dynamite were used in the work of de-
molition. The dynamite was exploded
by an electric battery, and the heavy
timbers of the cribbing were thrown
high in the air. Large quantities of
fish were killed by the concussion.
——CQaptain Clark, of Philipsburg,
was rewarded this week for his persistent
efforts to apprehend the three parties
charged with! participation in the
crime of murdering William Smiles,
the Horatio policeman a few months
ago. It will be remembered that two
were arrested by the local officers before
getting out of the vicinity, and three
made good their escape and were lost
sight of for a time, but the Philipsburg
detective found them eventually in
Franklin, Pa.—Dubois Courier.
——Some days ago while H. C. Val-
entine was searching for iron ore speci-
mens at the Wash Ore Banks he found
a lump of brown hematite which when
broken was found to contain a coin of Un-
ited Statescoinage known asa cent. From
its date it could. not have been in the
ore more than three years. The query
is how 1t got there.
——The most elevated town in the |
United States is Red Mountain, Owray
county, Col, which is at an altitude of
11,123 feet ; Leadville with 20,000 in-
habitants is 10,300 feet up.
4-Paw and the Wild West.
The Engagement of this Formidable
Organization Rapidly Approaching.
An advances courier of the Forepaugh
and “Wild West” combined shows wasin
the city yesterday, perfecting the final
3 arrangements
for the ap-
pearance of
the great dual
exhibition, on
Glass Works
Meadows at
Bellefonte
Saturday May
24th.
Through an
arrangement
entered into between the proprietors of
the leading circuses of the country, the
Forepaugh Wild West aggregation will
be the oniy biz tented exhibiton that
will appear here this season, and this
fact, combined with the long-established
renown of Adam Forepaugh, will un-
doubtedly ensure a profitable engage-
ment. The press elsewhere is unani-
mous in its praise of the “Wild West”
department of the show, which, in con-
junction with a complete circus and
hippodrome performance, is being given
with precisely the same accessories as
when presented by Mr. Forepaugh 153
consecutive times in New York City.
Among the prominent frontier stars ap-
pear Captain A. H. Bogardus and his
three sons, the wizard riflemen and the
late government scouts, who gave amaz-
ing exhibitions of shooting, afoot and
on horseback. Gen. Sheridan’s famous
ride, anew and pleasing feature, also
fully two hundred Indians, scouts, cow-
boys and soldiers unite in reproducing
the thrilling scenes of border life,
its pleasures and its dangers, its bright
side and dark, concluding with the
graphically realistic spectacular drama,
“Custer’s Last Rally,” in which A. H.
Bogardus impersonates the hero of the
Little Big Horn, and which introduces
“Lone Feather,” ¢ Yellow Bull,” and
other Indians who actually participated
in the fight.
The circus performance embraces
many novelties never seen here. The
sensation of the season so far has been
A. Forepaugh, Jr.’s, forty-horse bare-
back act and his wonderful trapeze-leap-
ing pony, “Eclipse.” The three Paris-
ian gymnasts have also made a big hit.
This act is said to be the most daring
mid-air performance ever atiempted.
One hundred eminent arenie champions
disport themselves in two rings and a
big central stage, and the thrilling and
fascinating hippodrome races of ancient
Rome are given on a mammoth eclipse
that encircles the rings and stage.
Not the least attractive feature of the
combined shows is the ‘glorious and
glittering’ street parade that takes
place at 10 A. M. daily.
Tae MIFFLIN CoUNTY SHOOTING
CaseE.—We briefly mentioned last waek
the shooting case near Lucy Furnace in
Mifflin county, in which James Davis
was shot by William Say, two railroad
employes working on the same engine,
one as engineer and the other as fireman.
In giving an account of the affair a cor-
respondent of the Altoona Tribune says:
“Davis is married and livesin one of the
furnace houses,and Say had,up until yes-
terd ay morning,boarded with him,when
he (Say) had intended moving his
goods from Davis's place. It seems
that Davis suspected Say with having
jmproper relations with his wife which
had caused ill-feeling toward each other.
Yesterday morning, May 6, while Say
was removing his goods, Davis came in,
when a quarrel ensued, and Say says
that Davis drew a knife on him and
threatened to kill him. Say said, “Don’t
strike we Jim, or I will shoot you.”
Davis came on and Say fired, the ball
entering Davi¢’ neck, cutting or slight-
ly cutting the jugular vein. Davis
fell and Say turned him over, he said
to Constable Latherow, to see how bad-
ly he was hurt. To Justice Miller he
said that when Davis fell he caught him
and that at the same time the knife fell
out of his (Davis’) hand, and that he
(Say) stooped down and picked up the
knife and started toward Mount Union.”
After doing the shooting Say start-
ed toward Newton Hamilton, but was
overtaken by Constable Nevill on the
Pennsylvania. railroad track between
that place and Mt. Union bridge. He
gave himself up without resistance, say-
ing that he was on his way to deliver
himself to a justice, and after a con-
mitment was made out by Esq. J. D,
Miller, he was lodged in the Lewistown
jail.
Later accounts concerning the condi-
tion of Davis represented him to be
growing gradually worse and scarcely
any hope was entertained of his re-
covery. His antemortim statement was
taken by an officer. The location of the
ball had not been determined.
One of the last victims of grip in
this county was Mrs. Matilda Watkins,
of Boggs township, who died on the 2nd
inst., after eight days illness, in her 60th
year.
and Sarah Boyer, Her remains were
interred in the Fairview cemetery on the
Sunday following her death, and was

attended by many friends and acquain-
tances.
=
Hon. Horatio G. Fisher, a promi-
nent citizen of Huntingdon, died last
week. He was extensively interested in
coul operations in the Jefferson county
coal region and was suddenly taken
with heart affection while in Punxutaw-
ny attending to his interests. He repre-
sented the Huntingdon district in Con-
gress for several terms.
