AN ALMOST SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT
T0 RoB MIcHAEL GROVE oF $5.000—
CARD SHARPS IN CENTRE CoUNTY !—
Alr. Michael Grove is one of the best
known and most successful farmers in
Centre county. He is well fixed finan-
cially, being the possessor of several
valuable farms, and other property.:
Some years since he retired from active
work and purchased a comfortable home
between Lemont and the State College,
where he has since been taking the
world easy.
On Friday morning of last week, a
well dressed gentleman drove to his
place and introduced himself as a bank-
er from Harrisburg looking for a good
farm which he wished to purchase for a
brother addicted to drink, and who he
desired to get out into the country and
away from temptation. He represented
that Mr. George Kline had recom-
mended him to call on Mr. Grove, that
possibly he would sell one of his farms ;
it not, he might be able totell him where
he could find a good one for sale. Mr.
Grove told him he would not sell and did
not know of any one in that neigkbor-
hood who would. The stranger then
asked him if he knew anything about
the Jenks farm, near Shiloh church?
which Mr. Kline, he said, told him
might be for sale. Mr. Grove knew all
about it as it, was close to one of his
own farms, and the proposition was
made to him that ifhe would go along
and show the property he would
be paid well for his time and trouble.
This he consented to do, and getting in-
to the buggy with the supposed banker,
the two drove down the pike past Mr.
Grove’s former home, and just as they
were turning the corner at Shiloh
church to go into the Jenks property
they were accosted by a man, seeming-
ly a tramp, who swaggered out into the
road and wanted to know if either of
them would like to make some money.
The pretended banker stopped at once,
and after some badgering between the
two strangers, Mr. Grove says the one
in the buggy spread the lap-robe over
his knee, and the one in the road, after
exhibiting great rolls of money, produ-
ed three cards and went to shuffling
them about over the robe, and finally of-
fered $5,000 if a certain card was pick-
ed out. The man in the buggy picked
the right card, and then there was some
wrangling about the money, the
one on the ground insisting that the
winner should exhibit the same
amount to show that he could have
paid, had he failed to select the card
named. Then a forty dollar bet was
made, and the man in the buggy, who
in the mean time had nipped the cor-
ner of the card and called Mr. Grove’s
attention to it by nudging him in the
side, won a second time, and the money
was handed over to him without a
word. Mr. Grove was then asked if he
would not like to try it once, and after
some hesitation consented ; he too picked
the right card, and then the chap who
was dealing them insisted that be-
fore he would pay him the $5,000
agreed upon, he must show that
amount of money, or that he could
have paid had he lost. Ashe didn’t
have the the money with him, he
couldn’t show it, of course, and then the
supposed banker suggested that they
would drive to town, get the money and
thus secure their winnings, he repre-
senting that his wife with $20,000 was
stopping at one of the hotels here, and
that he could get what he wanted from
her, while Mr. Grove could get his out
of bank. This was agreed to, and the
one who had lost promised to wait
their return. They drove to town, the
banker insisting that nothing whatever
should be said about the matter and sug-
gesting that Mr. Grove should get part
of the money out of each bank, as to
ask the entire amount at once might
make them curious to know what he
wanted with it. He was left out of the
buggy at the corner of Logan and
Spring streets, and an arrangement was
made that the two would meet there
as soon as they got the money. Mr.
Grove proceeded to the Centre County
Bank, got three thousand dollars, and
concluding that this would be sufficient,
returned and found the man waiting for
him. He was asked at once if he bad
the money, and replying that he had
gotten but $3,000, was told by his
“friend” that he would lend him the
other two thousand if necessary, and
they would hurry back or the other pur-
ty might be gone. Not until this time
did Mr. Grove suspect anything, but,
waking up suddenly to the fact that
there was something wrong in the mat-
ter, that money wasn’t made in that
way honestly, he made the excuse that
he must go back to the bank before re-
turning, which he did, returning the
money and leaving his “Harrisburg
friena” to wait and watch for him at
he corner of Logan and Spring streets.
How long the fellow waited is not
known, but late in the afternoon the
man who brought Mr. Grove to town
was seen driving out the pike, and on
Saturday evening the horse and buggy
was left at Curtin’, with a note to Mr.
Potter, from whom they were hired,
stating that urgent business prevented
the drivers returning the rig, and telling
him where it could be found.
That Mr. Grove saved his money, and
possibly his life, can be credited to the
conscience that seemed to smite him at
the last moment, and that the two sharp-
ers who attempted to rob him were not
captured before they left the country
can be attributed to Mr. Groves
reticence in saying anything about the
matter until after the scamps had taken
their departure.
Wedon’t know that holding this case
up to the farmers, as a warning against
listening to and believing the stories
which every glib tongued stranger that
comes along tells them, willbe of any
benefit, but if they would place more re-
liance upon and pay more attention to
what is told them by honest newspapers,
and have less confidence in strangers
who present money-making schemes to
them, there wouldn’t be so many of
them robbed or swindled.
——The choral service in the Re-
formed church last Sunday evening un-
der the direction of Mr. W. T. Meyer,
isspoken of in the highest terms of
praise by all who heard it. The choris-
ters consisted of the Reformed church,
choir which is composed of the follow-
ing ladies and gentlemen: Ms, J. C.
Meyer, Misses Lulu Harper, Jennie
Pontius, Sadie Walkey, Berenice and
Aurora Moore, Jennie and Grace Luk-
enbach, and Messrs. W. T. and J. C.
Meyer, A. Lukenbach anl H. B. Pon-
tius. They are all naturally good sing-
ers and had gone through an especial
preparatory training under Mr. Meyer.
After the introductory anthem of
“Praise the Lord,” Rev. Mr. Noll fol-
lowed with a fervent invocation. which
was succeeded with “Sanctus, Holy
Holy,” by the choir in superb style.
The principal part of the programme
consisted of pieces sung in chorus, but
there was also a trio rendered by Mr.
and Mrs. J. C. and Mr. W. T. Meyer,
and duets by Miss Harper and Mr, Luk-
enbach and Mrs. Meyer and Miss Har-
per. The “Te Deum” was an impres-
sive feature of the service. In all re-
spects it was a most successful musical
effort directed to a devotional object.
The operations at the Bellefonte
glass works closed for the season last
Saturday, two weeks ahead of the ap-
pointed time, on account of the break-
ing down of the gable end of the fur-
nace. This portion of the structure is
usually played out by the excessive
heat by the time the working season
closes, and has to be reconstructed be-
fore work is resumed in the fall. Since
the works resumed operations last winter
with a new management and a new
furce of employes it has been doing a
profitable business and bids fair to con-
tinue a career of prosperity.
—1t is reported that Mr. H.T. Long,
who manufactures at Howard those ar-
ticles known as “fifth-wheels,” is will-
ing to move his factory to Bellefonte if
he should receive proper encouragement
from our citizens. There is an exten-
sive demand for his fabrics, and he em-
ploys about fifteen men, with reason to
expect a decided expansion of his opera-
tions at a favorable location. He has
received flattering offers from other
places, but would prefer locating in
Bellefonte, and thinks the old car shops
would afford suitable accommedations.
——Thursday afternoon of last week
Ardrew D. Ritchey, a farmer who lived
about tivo miles from Spruce Creek,
drove his daughter to the railroad sta-
tion at that piace, it being the intention
of the lady to go to Altoona. When
they reached the station Mr. Ritchey
went into one of the stores there, when
he was suddenly stricken with heart
disease and died almost instantly. He
was at the time of his death fifty-eight
years old, His wife, three sons and one
daughter, survive him.
—-Mr. William S. Furst, son of Judge
Furst, having graduated at Princeton
this month, has sailed for Europe, a
pleasure trip which his father promised
that he should indulge in after his grad-
uation. At the college commencement
he won the Class of '59 Essay Prize out
of a class of 141, This is the only
prize Will contested for and the fact of
him having won it reflects considerable
honor on him.
——Mr. H. Grove, of Millheim, some
days ago, was so unfortunate as to have
one of his ribs broken and other injuries
inflicted, by being thrown out of a wag-
on which he was driving down hill:
His horses were frightened by the brake
flying loose, and became unmanageable,
hence the accident. Mr. Grove recent-
ly moved from the neighborhood of
Belletonte to Millbeim, .
——Rev. Dr. Laurie, assisted by
Revs. Hoshour and Hughes, officiated
at tha funeral of Mrs, Charles F, Cook,
Thursday afternoon of last week, Messrs
H. B. Pontius, John Powers, H. D.
Yerger, J. F. Mann, Hammon Sechler,
James Potter, N. 8. Bailey and J. L.
Kurtz, were the pall bearers.

Havive aA Goon Timz.—The Mill-
heim Journal says Andrew Weaver, of
near Coburn, whose wife is serving a
two years’ sentence in the western peni-
tentiary, for the murder of her fath-
er-in-law, looks like a new man. He
has a clean shaven face, wears a stand-
up collar, a “Katy,” and says he has
better times now than he ever had since
he was married to Fietta. It is an ill
wind that blows nobody sny good.
WorMs 18 THE Grass.—The Centre
Hall Reporter says the farmers in that
section are complaining lately of a worm
that has been working on the grass, and
some think they will not have a large
hay crop. The worm is under the sod
and cuts it loose from the earth, leaving
the sod loose and easy to pull up. It
works mostly at the roots of the grass,
though some report it above ground,
and doing devastation above.
A Hastings CLuB.—Chairman L. L.
Brown, in issuing a call for the forma-
tion of a Hastings club, in this place, to

kindly invites Republicans of the neigh-
boring counties of Huntingdon, Blair,
Clearfield and Clinton, who are friendly
disposed toward the General, to join the
‘club and go along to help boom his

about $3.00
TaE Last oF AN OLD CHurcH.-—We
observe that the United Brethren of this
place are having torn down the old
frame church building on the corner of
West High and Thomas streets, prepar-
atory to putting up a new structure on
its site. The old building has done
good service for nearly half a century,
but must give way to modern improve-
ments. The new church will be a com-
modious building capable of seating
about 500 persons, and will be a com-
bination of brick and steel sheeting. It
is intended to have it under roof this
year. Mr. Robert Cole is the architect.
SUNDAY ScHoOL CONVENTION.—A
Sunday School Convention will be eld

interesting programme has been arrang-
ed. The convention will be under the
auspices of the Sunday School of the
Evangelical Association. The Com-
mittee of arrangments extend a cordial
invitation to all Sunday School workers
to attend. Entertainment will be pro-
vided for all who will inform Rev. C. V.
B. Aurand, Spring Mills, Pa., of their
intention of being present.
Tune OLp War GovERNoR.—The
Altoona Times says : “The old soldie”
of Pennsylvania are not going to forget
the grand old “War Governor,”of Belle"
fonte. He is to be a prominent figure at
the meeting to be held at Valley Forge
on Thursday. He who is not forgotten
by the soldiers may well be remembered
by the citizens of the republic, and the
renown of the grand old Governor will
ever live in the hearts of the patriotic
people of Pennsylvania.”’ Yes, and out-
side the boundaries of this grand old
commonwealth the reputation and past
records of our own and only Governor
Curtin shine as one of the brightest
pages in American history.— Lock Ha-

WHERE JoUN MADE A MISTAKE. —
Detective Vernes arrested John Fantas-
ki at Renovo, last Monrday for shooting
at a mark on Sunday with a revolver,
thereby viclating the sanctity of the
Sabbath and disturbing the peace and
quiet of the community. The penalty
for shooting on Sunday is $25, but in
view of Fantaski’s ignorance of the
law, the detective promised to let him
off with $10, which he promised to pay.
But another party advised John to pay
no attention to the detective and let
him push the case if he desired to do so-
The result was that John refused to pay,
whereupon he was taken before ‘Squire
Colestock, who fined him the statute
provision of $25 and $2.50 costs. Then
Joknsaw where he had made a mistake,
but it was too late to remedy it.

A regular Hastings club, all cut
and dried, and cocked and primed for ac-
tion at the State convention at Harris-
burg,was formed at a meeting in Bush's
Arcade on Monday evening, of which
J. M. Dale,esq., was] President. The or-
‘ganization was effected by electing E.
C. Humes President; H. P. Hamis
Secretary and W. ¥. Reeder Captain.
A list of those who will go along with
the club to Harrisburg was read, includ-
ing about ninety from Bellefonte, with
the assurance of thirty-five from Phil-
ipsburg. Arrangements were made for
a club of one hundred and fifty. The
regalia or uniform will consist of a cane,
a badge and a high white hat, the en-
tire outfit, includining the round trip
ticket, to cost about $4.50. The Belle-
fonte band will be taken along, and
perhaps there will be a band trom Phil-
ipsburg. The cars that will carry these
Centre county pilgrims will be hand-
somely decorated and marked with ap-
propriate banners. The Philipsburg
delegation will be met at Tyrone. As
some money will be necessary to meet
expenses, and preparation will be requir-
ed, the following committees were ap-
pointed: Finance—W. I. Fleming, W.
E. Gray and E. R. Chambers. Decor-
ation— S. H. Williams, Amos Mullen
‘and George B. Johnston. Equipment—
J. A. Fiedler, H. P. Harris and John
Bullock. The hats, canes and badges
will be sent to this place and distributed
among the members of the club as soon
as received.
——The closing of the glass works
for the hot months is sending some of
the employes out of town to spend their
summer vacation. On ‘Wednesday
morning Mr. and Mrs. Robert Albert-
son left for a visit to their old home at
Canastota, N. Y., where they will re-
main until work is resumed at this
place in the fall. They made a favor-
able impression since they came to
Bellefonte last Jauuary, particularly
Mrs. Albertson by her attractive ap-
pearance and gentle manners. Mr.
Frank Wescoat would have left this
week for Glassboro, N. J., but was de-
tained by the sickness of his estimable
wife who has been seriously ill at Miss
Morrison’s, on Spring street. The
friends she made since she has been
here are very much interested in her
case.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Aikens,
Misses Stella Armor, Jennie Strickland,
Lillie and Emma Aikens, and Messrs.
George B. Johnston, John Harris. Jr.,
Frank Lukenbach, Samuel Nevling,
Chas. R. Kurtz, and Edgar L. Burn-
side, 211 of Bellefonte, were guests at a
reception by Dr. and Mrs. J. C. M.
Hamilton, of Tyrone, to the graduates
of the Class of "90 of the Mountain
Seminary at Birmingham.
——One day recently a Mrs, Elder,
of West Houtzdale, gave her little
three-year-old daughter a dose of med-
icine. She did not put the bottle en-
tirely out of reach and the little one got
hold of it, drank the entire contents and
died in a couple of hours. There can’t
be too much care taken in keeping dan-
gerous medicines out of the reach of
children.
——Saturday’s Tyrone Herald says
that Jacob Little who lived in Warriors-
mark township, died Friday morning
from the effects of a fall he received a
few days before. His age at the time of
his death was 53 years, 9 months and
13 days. The remains were taken to
Tyrone for interment.
——Some days ago Samuel Rockey,
of Tylersville, Clinton county, was bit-
ten by a copperhead snake: No doctor
being present, or at hand, the folks ad-
ministered remedies which seemed to
have the proper effect and th victim of
the snake bite recovered froir ihe effects
of the poison.
-—The Williamsport papers claim
that the population of that city has in-
creased 12,000 since 1880, it being 18,934
at that time and is now 31,000. By
bringing 1n several adjoining suburbs,
which are claimed as really belonging to
the city,the population, it is said, would
be 38,000.
——Col. J. L. Spangler was one of] a
delegation who with General Hastings
called on President Harrison, Secretary
of War Proctor and Maj. General Scho-
field to invite them toattend the encamp-
ment of the Pennsylvania N. G. at Mt.
Gretna, which commences on the 19th
of July.
——1Ira Ellenberger, the crack pitcher

Mr. Thomas Chadwick, of the
glass works, started with his family for
England last Monday, intending to be
away for several months. His father
died some time in May and he goes out
te the old home to attend to some pro-
perty in which he is interested.
——At the meet of Borough Council
on Monday evening permission was giv-
en the Undine Hose Company to take
their carriage to Williamsport on the
Fourth of July. The Nuisance com-
mittee suggested the erection of a sewer
from Allegheny street and thence down
Spring, to connect with sewer on Lamb
street, to remedy nuisance complained of
with regard to sewer on property occu-
pied by L. T. Murson. The suggestion
was referred to Street committee and
borough engineer for investigation and
report. The Nuisance committee also
reported as a nuisance the photograph
car situated on Penn street, near Bishop,
and the same was referred to Street com-
mittee with power to act.
——The reports that are being cir
culated about the prevalence of diph-
theria or diptheretic sore-throat at the
State College are entirely without foun-
dation, as there is but one case of sore
throat at the College now, and that is
from enlarged tonsils. Dr. Goff, a mem-
ber of the State Board of Health, visited
the College on Monday and after a thor-
ough investigation of the matter, gave
it as his opinion that there was no sign of
diphtheria in any of the cases report-
ed, but that it was a mildly contagious
throat trouble, something like acute ton
silitis. There is but one case in or
about the College now, so that stories
about the stricken condition of the Col-
lege and the surrounding community
are without any foundation whatever.
