A TERRIBLE QUARRY ACCIDENT.—
A terrible accident occurred at
the limestone quarry connected with
the Collins furnace, last Friday
resulting in the immediate killing of
Patrick Dillon, the foreman of the quar-
ry. A number of blasts are exploded
about noon, and on this occasion, at
that time ot day, the blasts were set off
as usual. The men employed retired
some distance to avoid the effects of the
the explosion, and Mr. Dillon occupied
his customary place under a clump of
trees which he had always found
a safe retreat. ‘When one of the blasts
went off a large stone about the size of
a half bushel measure, was seen to rise
high in the air. descending it took
the direction of the spot where Dillon
was standing, and passing through the
branches of the trees, struck him on the
head, completely cutting away the left
side of his head and face. His death
was instantanous. He was an excellent
workman and had been foreman of the
quarry for some years. Several years
ago he was nearly killed by an accident
in the same quarry. He was about 40
years of age and was unmarried.

MEMORIAL DaY.—The ceremony of
decorating the soldiers’ graves was ob-
served with the usual impressive-
ness in Bellefonte last Friday. In
the performance of this duty our citizens
never fail to pay their tribute to the de-
parted heroes in a manner suitable to
the valorous services of those who died
in defence of the Union.
The floral preparations were com-
menced early in Friday morning by
special detachments of Gregg Post and
the W. R. C., who constructed a monu-
ment of flowers consisting of a hand-
somely arranged base with a floral col-
umn as a superstructure. It was a beau-
tiful design and displayed the excellent
taste of those who made it. This
charming aggregation of floral beauty
furnished a prominent feature in the
ceremonies at the cemetery.
The parade was formed at 2 o'clock p.
m. in the Diamond, the line being made
up of Bellefonte Band, Company B,
Gregg Post, Pleasant Gap Band, Un-
dine Hose company, Zion Band and Lo-
gan Hose company. This procession
was preceded by a carriage containing
the orator of the day, Comrade W. W.
Brown, ex-Governor Curtin and Dr.
Fairlamb, and was followed by the ve-
hicle bearing the column of flowers.
The line of march was over the course
previouly published, terminating at the
Union cemetery where a hollow square
was formed on the north side of that
burial enclosure. Four special graves
were decorated by comrades Irvin, Mil-
ler, Rankin and Green, the choir sing-
ing “tread lightly o'er their graves.”
Then the general decoration of the
graves of the soldiers in the cemetery
was proceeded with in the usual manner.
When this was completed the comrades
were called together by the sound of the
bugle to hear the oration of W. W.
Brown, esq., of Bradford, Pa., which
was a very well delivered, interesting
and patriotic discourse. The oration
was followed by a volley fired in salute
of the heroic dead, after which the col-
umn was reformed and marched out. of
the cemetery, thus completing another
annual tribute to the brave men who
defended the flagin the hour of its dead-
liest peril.
DEcorRATION DAY AT PHILIPSBURG.
—The people of Philipsburg showed
their grateful remembrance of the sol-
diers sleeping in their cemeteries by im-
pressive ceremonies last Friday, in which
the surviving soldiers, citizens, civic
societies and fire companies participated.
A number of little children, bearing
beautiful garlands of evergreens and
flowers, formed an interesting feature of
the demonstration. There were many
visitors from neighboring towns and
villages who came by train and vehicle
to join in the exercises of the day. The
people on this patriotic occasion were
favored with an unusually excellent
address delivered by D. F. Fortney, Esq.,
of Bellefonte, which contained many
forcible and telling points, one of which
we extract, as follows, because it con-
tains several particularly striking truths
and differs from the ordinary Decoration
Day gush : a
There are men in the Congress of the United
States who, if we are to judge from wheat they
say, think the war is yet not over, who would
tear open all the horrible wounds of the war
and destroy the peace of the Union. They are
not patriots; they are partisans. Thank God
they are not many. As party lines disappear.
party walls fall down and the hearts of the
people blend into unity, into love, into patriot
13m at the graves of our fallen heroes, so
in our legislative halls should our represen-
tatives act. ‘ y y
There is no better time, nor place more ap
propriate than this, at the graves of our fallen
comardes, to demand more patriotism and
less partisanship of our public servants. It
is for us to demand that we shall be more
patriotically dealt with and not knocked
about like a foot ball in the halls of legislation
and political conventions. If we need pensions
we should haye them, but they should come
honestly, and because they were earned by
faithful, heroic service on the field, in the
camp, or for suffering untold horrors in prisons,
and not on the promises of any party, whieh,
for our votes, is ready at. least to. promise,
if not perform, everything. .

——On the afternoon of Decoration
Day the drum corps’ of the 5th
Regiment, P. N. G., arrived on the
train from Altoona and spent the even-
ing in this place, giving our citizens
specimens of their admirable perfor-
mance with the fife and drum. The
corps consists of fifteen performers, com-
manded by Drum Major Calvert. They
put up at the Brockerhoff House and
left for Altoona on Saturday morning.
——Speaking of the memorial address
at Lock Haven, last Friday, the Demo-
crat says: In the evening John G.
Love, Esq. of Bellefonte, delivered the
annual address in the Court House. It
was a fine effort and highly appropriate
to the occasion. Mr. Love is an able
and eloquent speaker and his address
was greatly appreciated, The audience
was not as large as it should have been
considering the excellence of the enter-
tainment offered.
In the Philadelphia Press teach-
ers’ contest, Miss Grant, Sunbury, leads
with 8,833 votes ; Miss Davis, Philadel-
phia, has 8,107. Miss Theilman, Wil-
mington, Del, 7,707, Miss Bishop,
‘Williamsport, 6,248. The first prize is a
trip to Europe, the expense of which
will be paid by the Press. Why isn’t
an effort made to get the European
tour for one of Bellefonte's lady
teachers ?
——The Bellefonte School Board was
organized on Monday evening for the
ensuing year by the election of D. F.
Fortney, Esq., President, W. B. Rank-
in Secretary, and John P. Harris Treas-
urer. The second Tuesday night of
each month was fixed as the regular
meeting night. The Pennsylvania
School Journal was ordered for the en-
suing year, and then the board ad-
journed to Ceader’s where John P. Har-
ris set up the ice cream and other innce-
uous refreshments.
Last Friday afternoon in Hunt-
ingdon, Harry Johnston, aged 23,
was fatally stabbed by John Couch,
aged 21, in a quarrel about a keg of
Couch is now in jail to await
trial for his bloody offense. It may be
considered remarkable that such an
occurrence should have happened in
a town where liquor licenses have been
denied in order to preserve the morals |
of the people. May be if these young
men could have taken their beer by
the glass in a well regulated saloon they
would not have had oceasion to quarrel
over a keg of the stuff.
——About 3 o'clock on Wednesday
morning ihe slumber of the people of
Bellefonte was disturbed by the cry of
fire, the hoarse roar of the steam signal
and the clangor of the fire-alarm bell.
There was noise enough for a first class
conflagration. It proved to be a
fire that had broken out in the second
story of Potter’s restaurant and confec-
tionery store near the northeast corner
of the Diamond. The firemen got it
suppressed, but not until the upper
part of the building was burned and
the lower part damaged by water. The
loss was about $500.
——George M. Peck, of Lock Haven
formerly of Bellefonte, died on Thurs-
day morning of last week, in the former
place, of consumption, after confinement
to his bed for ten weeks, and after a
period of between two and three years
of bad health. He was 73 years old and
leaves a wife'and two sons and a daugh-
ter. During the war of the rebellion
Mr. Peck was a member of Co. D, 45th
regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, and
had the misfortune to be captured and
imprisoned by the enemy in some of
of their worst prison pens, notably Sauls-
bury, Libby and Andersonville, for nine
months, serving about three months in
each one. :
——The Hospital Commissioners,
Hon. J. J. Spearman of Sharon ; Hon.
Jas. P. Coburn, of Aaronsburg; Hon,
David Cameron of Wellsboro; Hon.
Samuel H. French, of Pittsburg ; Hor.
H. D. Tate, of Bedford; accompanied
by state architect John Windrum, of
Philadelphia, and Mr. J. Reid of Cur-
wensville, visited Philipsburg last week
tor the purpose of inspecting the Miners,
State Hospital, which is almost com-
pleted. The distinguished visitors were
much pleased with the progress of the
work on the Hospital, and pronounced
it well done, which isa compliment to
the contractors, Hoover, Hughes & Co.,
and their efficient superintendent, Mn.
Chas. Kemp.
——Mur. C. K. Sober, of this county,
is justly celebrated as one of the most
expert marksmen in this country, it not
in the world, and it is said that when
Forepaugh’s circus was here he met his
old snd intimate friend, Capt. Bogardus,
who has an engagement with Fore-
ImporTANT INVENTION BY A CEN-
TRE COUNTY MAN.—An electrical coal
digger, the invention of Peter Arp, of
Center county, is in successful operation
at Jackson's mine at Powelton. The
plant consists, first of a seven-horse
power automatic engine. To the engine
is belted a seven-horse power generator.
From the generator the wires are run
through the mine to the coal cutter
located about a mile trom the mouth.
This machine is operated by a very
small motor, which 1s built in the
machine.
The machine consists of un iron frame
24 inches high, 8 feet 6 inches long and
36 inches wide. Below are nine augur
shaped drills, similar to those now used
in mining. Between each drill is a
steel cutter bar, which cuts all the coal
left between the holes drilled by the
augurs. Under and hanging to the
cutter bars are several rows of scrapers
which hang loosely and pull all the
coal back as fast as itis cut or drilled,
thus keeping it out of the way and
making the opening clear. All the coal
taken out is coarse and nome is wasted.
The height of the cut is about four
inches. The machine can make two
cuts 3 feet wide and 5 feet deep in 5
minutes, as it is easily handled, and on-
ly needs to be shoved along the breast
by the aid of a couple of bars. It can
be taken anywhere in any mine, and is
easily handled on a truck supplied
with rollers and a windlass. It weighs
nearly 1,200 pounds. The machine can
be raised or lowered to cut any part of
the vein, sulphur, bony slate, or other
hard substances.
The inventor claims that by the use
of this machine the most dangerous
part of the miners’ work will be found
unnecessary ; that accidents resulting
from falls of coal will be almost im-
possible ; that its adoption and use will
operate to the benefit of, and not to the
detriment of miners, in that more coal
will be taken out in a given length of
time ; that it will be taken out in much
better shape ; that little, if any, skillis
necessary to operate the machine, and
that its use must tend to elevate the
avocation of the miner.
R. D. Cummings Drap.—Many of
the readers of the WaTcEMAN will be
sorry to leara of the death of R. D.
Cummings, at Philadelphia, on Tues-
day, the 27th ult. By the older citizens
of the county he will be remembered a3
being at one time one of the best known
citizens, hotel keepers and stage-line
owners in this section of the State.
Away back in the fifties he was pro-
prietor of the old Pennsylvania House
in this place, and ran stage coaches to
Tyrone, Lock Haven, Lewistown and
other points. He erected and managed
for some time the hotel at Port Matilda,
and was the builder and for years the
proprietor of the Cummings House in
this place. Some twenty or more years
ago, he taok charge of the Eagle Hotel
on North 8d st., Philadelphia, and after
the successful management of it for
three or four years, he became proprie-
tor of the well known Merchant's Hotel,
on 4th street. This was his last hotel
venture and after running it successful-
ly for several years he retired. For the
past ten years his health had been grad-
ually breaking down, and during the
past four years he wasa terrible sufferer.
All through life he was one of the mos}
hospitable of men, faithful in his friend-
ship, kind, big-hearted and liberal. He
leaves a widow and three daughters,
Mrs. C. D. Keller, Mrs. W. H. Hacker
and Mrs. Geo. Grim. The funeral took
place on Saturday, his remains being
brought to Williamsport and interred by
the side of his first wife.
BorouGH AFFAIRS.—At the council
meeting on Monday evening two com -
munications were read, one recommend-
ing that hitching posts be painted white
so that they could be more easily seen at
night, and the other advising an increase
of the policemen’s pay. Neither of them
was acted upon.
In the matter of opening the cross
street from Bishop to High, which was
brought to the attention of the council
at its last meeting, the records show it to
be a legally opened street and the bor-
ough is responsible for its condition.
The nuisance on the McCafferty pro-
perty was reported to have been abated.
The borough was reported to be in
debt to the treasurer to the amount of
$5,470.88. Complaint was entered
against the sewer running from Alleghé-
ng street to the gas works.. Mr, James
Harris asked council to extend a 3 inch
water pipe from High street down Wa-
ter to his driveway, and Samuel Shaf-
fer requested the privilege of extending
the water to his stables below the lime-
kilns. These requests were referred to
the appropriate committees.
paugh, and an arrangement was made
by which the two famous marksmen
will, at some time in the future,form a
combination and travel together, giv-
ing exhibitions of their skill. Mr. Sober
defeated Capt. Bogardus in a pigeon
shooting match at Milton some years
ago, and the Captain acknowledges him
to be one of the most remarkable experts
with the shot gun that this or any oth-
er country has ever produced.
| An ordinance repealing the ordinance
| taxing opera houses was reported and
passed. Borough solicitor, Clement
! Dale, esq., rendered an opinion in the
"matter of laying pavements, .that all
pavements should be laid according to
the natural grade of the street as it at
present exists. Other minor matters re-
lating to the laying of pavements and
crossings were attended to.
‘t and important day. At 830 a.
FrEE DELIVERY.—The chief of the
free mail delivery department was here
from Washington on Monday, to make
arrangements for the free delivery in
Belletonte, and it is the intention to
have it in operation by the first of July.
Fire AT LEMoxT.—The grain eleva-
tor and coal shed of Mr. John I.
Thompson was destroyed by fire last
Tuesday night. The structures were
completely destroyed, leaving nothing
but a large pile of burning coal. The
origin of the fire, which broke out at
about 12 o'clock, is not known.
loss will be about $4000, on whieh
there is an insurance of § 1,820.
TaAT METEOR.—The so-called meteor
that lodged on the farm of Judge Mayer,
just below the eity limits, turns out to
be a large piece of iron. It is said that the
iron was thrown by a blast at the city
quarry a few days ago on to the farm.
The quarry is located on the south side
of Bald Eagle creek, quite a distance
from the farm, and the work of blasting
stone for street purposes has been in
progress for several weeks.— Lock Haven
Express.
Tue Loc Cror.—The Williamsport
G. §& B. of Saturday says: Reports
from up the river are to the effect that
there has been an almost perfect sweep
of logs to the booms. There is less
timber back than is usual for this time
of year and the banks are virtually
clean. This is gratifying, as it will in-
sure a steady season’ sawing, without
any waiting for any floods to bring in
the back logs. There are probably
230,000,000 feet in this city and at
Lock Haven,
Found AT Last.—Mr. James’ M.
Rosensteel, a former well-known and
highly respected citizen of Philipsburg,
having been identified with the Moshan-
non tannery in this place previous to
Mr. J. B. Childs’ administration, was a
victim of the flood disaster at Johns-
town one year ago, and after a most dili-
gent search by friends and relatives for
his body, all hope of ever finding it was
finally abandoned. On Memorial Day,
while the thoughts of the people revert-
ed to the Decoration Day occasion of
one year ago as having been the last on
earth for thousands of Johnstown’s citi-
zens, the body of Mr. Rosensteel was
found, which naturally added a more
vivid reminder of the flood. - The dis-
covery of the body will be a source of
comfort to Mr. Rosensteel’s many
friends.— Philipsburg Journal.
DEATH oF EX-JUDGE DiviNs.—In the
death of Hon. John Divins of Hublers-
burg, which occurred at his home in that
place on Saturday last, Walker township
loses one of its best known and most 1e-
soected citizens. Mr, Divins had been sn
ivalid for several years, having suffered
from partial paralysis of the body, which
disabled him from attending to any bus-
iness, or enjoying any of tho pleasures
of an active healthy life. In 1876 he
was elected one of the Associate Judges
of the county and for five years perform-
ed the duties of that office creditably! to
himself and satisfactorily to the people
of the county. In polities he was a
Democrat, and in religion a Presbytery
iin. Socially he was one of the clever-
est of men, being hospitable under all
circumstances, and charitable to a fault.
His funeral, which took place on Mon-
day, was very largely attended, and
many were the good words that were
said of him, and many a kind act recall-
ed, as they laid his body in its last rest-
ing place in the cemetery near where he
had lived the greater part of his life.
