ed to grow worse and she asked to be

Veytown she could gono further and
was carried into Dr. Rothrock’s office,
where she worked in convulsions until
Monday evening} when death relieved
her. The trouble issaid to have been
caused .by her leaving home without

zette.
ELECTROCUTION IN TYRONE. —Coun-
cilman Study of Tyrone had big worthless
black dog that he wanted to get rid of.
He went to the electric light plant and
had Superintendent Smith subject him
to electrocution. Wet sponges were
placed on the head and at the base of the
spine of the victim and the connection of
thedeath-dealing wire was made at these
points, the operation thus being precise-
ly similar to that in Kemmler’s case,
except that the human victim was strap-
ped to a chair while the canine had to
stand up and.receive his medicine. The
current was turned on, and the dog was
given about five hundred volts. He
dropped and died without the slightest
knowledge of what hit him. It was a
decided success.
Jupee Furst DecipEs A WiLL
ContesT.—The Huntingdon Monitor of
last week says.—Judge Furst on Mon-
day rendered a decision in the matter of
the will of Isaac Hawn, of Huntingdon
county, which will be considered by
those contesting the same as the final
legal action, and a prompt settlement of
the estate of the deceased by the execu-
tor will follow.
For two years past the nephews and
nieces of Isaac Hawn have been contest-
ing the validity ot the will made by the
deceased in 1850, and every process of
law was resorted to effect a change.
The recent decision of Judge Furst
was rendered in answer to the petition
of nephews and nieces to set the will
aside and grant an issue ordering the
case to be tried before a jury. The
court refused to grant the issue and or-
dered that the costs be paid by the peti-
tioners.
JUBILANT PHILIPSBURGERS.— The
Republicans of Philipsburg were greatly
tickled with the result of the manage-
ment by which the best of the county
convention were given to candidates
from that town. The Journal, of that
place, published on the day after the
nominat'ois,gives the following account
of the ovation with which the success-
ful Philipsburgers were received upon
their return home from the convention :
‘On the return of the successful candi-
dates last night a large crowd was at the
station to give them a hearty welcome,
notwithstanding the heavy rain that was
falling. On the train coming in sight
the ameteur band made things lively,
added to which the lusty cheering of the
crowd rendered the scene a very animat-
ed one. A procession was formed,
headed by Capt. Steel Crissman, the in-
domitable leader, and the candidates,
delegates and a large crowd of admirers,
followed to the lively strains of the band.
Colored lights were burnt en route. From
the steps of the Lloyd House Capt. Fry-
berger and Major Wolfe in felicitous lan-
guage, expressed their surprise at the re-
ception that had been accorded them.
8 — The typhoid fever, with which
Tusseyville was so grievously afilicted
is disappearing. The two patients who
are stilldown with it are on a fair way
to recovery.
SURIERY
Clearfield county has greatly in-
creased in population within the last de-
cade, which in 1830 was 43,406, and now
amounts to 68,158, on increase of 24,760,
or 56 per cent. Thereare few counties
in the State that will make a better
showing than this. Of its towns Dubois
has increased from 2718 to 6307; Houtz-
dale from 2070 to 2215; Osceola from
1253 t6 1737; Clearfield from 1809 to
2256; Curwensville from 706 to 1651;
Brisbin borough erected since 1880, has
a population of 1502, and the new bor-
ough of Irvona has 1622, The most
populous township is Woodward, with
5579 inhabitants.
——The 80th anniversary of the birth
of E. C. Humes, President of the First
National Bank of Bellefonte, occurred
last Saturday, he having been born on
the 23d of August, 1810. He started his
business career in the mercantile busi-
ness, but for a number of years he has
been a leader in the financial movements
in this section of the country. Mr.
Humes, who is the possessor of large
wealth, is not merely a money maker,
but is a gentleman of education, he hav-
ing been graduated at Dickinson college
in 1829. He is still quite active and
vigorous for a man of his age.
——Says the Huntingdon News: “The
young man Laporte, who escaped from
the Reformatory about six months ago,
was arrested in Chicago last week, and
brought back on Saturday. Laporte
was from Frie, where he was employed
"on the wharf. After his escape he went
to Chicago, and while coming out of a
theatre he was recognized by Wilson
MecClaughry, son of the superintendent,
who tried to arrest him, but his com-
rades rescued him. The police and Mr.
‘Worthy, a former reformatory employe,
got on his track and succeeded in cap-
turing him.
——The Centre Baptist Association
comprising delegates from the Baptist
congregations of Centre, Blair, Cambria,
Huntingdon and Mifflin counties, will
convene in sixtieth annual session at Ty-
rone, Tuesday morning of next week,
September 2, at nine o’clock, and the
convention will continue for three days,
the day sessions being held in the Bap-
tist church and night sessions in the
First Methodist ehurch. There will be
about 175 delegates in attendance, who
with other visitors will make the num-
ber present for the occasion over two
hundred persons.
——The Democratic convention of
Clinton county last Tuesday made the
following nominations: Mortimer F.
Elliot, of Tioga county, for Corgress ;
T. C. Hipple for State Senator; J. C.
Quiggle for Assembly; John F. Brown
for Prothonotary ; W. M. Everhart for
Sheriff; S. 'W- Caldwell for County
Treasurer; James W. Clark for Asso-
ciate Judge : H. B. Kleckner and J. F.
Brosius for County Commissioners, and
W.F. Moyer and H. A. L. Bridgens
for Auditors.
~—Our venerable friend, Mr.Geo. L.
Peters, of Union ville,who has been visit-
ing members of his family in Iowa, has
returned home with the expectation of
spending the remainder of his days here
in Centre county. Mr. Peters is firmly
convinced that Iowa will be perma-
nently Democratic, and hopes to live
long enough to help wrest Pennsylvania
from the grasp of the ““bosses’”” who have
| controlled its policy in the interest of
the monopolists and political bosses.
——The only surprise that will be ex-
pressed at the announcement that T. P.
Rynder, the Greenback leader, of Cen-
tre county, will be a candidate for state
senator, will be caused by the slowness
in which Mr. Rynder has progressed
with his announcement. There are no
off years with Mr. Rynder’s candidacy.
It is perennial.— Williamsport Sun and
Banner.
——The Philadelphia Times in a
strong article recommends General D.
H. Hastings for Director General of the
World’s Fair at Chicago. It says:
“Heis in no sense a candidate for the
position, aad we are not advised of his
willingness to accept it ; but if Chicago
wants to have the most useful Director
General within reach, General Hast-
ings will be invited to the task.”
Mr. Daniel Garman, proprietor
of the Garman opera house, sports a $250
silver mounted set of harness made by
Mr. James Schofield, the renowned har-
ness maker of this place. Several years
ago he made a $325 set for Mr. H. Brock-
erhoff. Jim knows how to do this kind
of work in addition to doing some fine
political work when occasion requires it.
——The Republican County conven-
tion refused to nominate Col. D. S.Dun-
ham for Commissioner, and to make
amends for this slight Judge Furst made
him a tipstaff last Monday. No doubt
the Colonel feels like stirring up the Re-
publican bosses with:the long pole with
which he is now armed.
——The child of a Hungarian, who is
| employed below" the Forge, died Satur-
day morning and while waiting on the
undertaker the dead body was Iaid out
on one end of the table while the grand-
father of the child and several compan-
ions were playing cards on ‘the other
i end.— Tyrone Herald.
BELLEFONTE DRoPs A GAME TO THE
P. R. R’s.—The long looked tur ball
game between the Penna. Railroad club
of Philadelphia and the Bellefonte’s was
played on the ball park on Monday af-
ternoon last. By three o'clock, the time
at which the game was called,fully two
thousand people had gone through the
gate—and over the fence—and when the
tears appeared on the field they sent up
cheer after cheer. The visitors were
dressed in natty suits of gray and ma-
roon eolors,while the homé club wore
the combinations for which all our nines
are noted. The P. R. R. team is the
pennant winner in thesuburban League
of Philadelphia, which is made up of the
best amateur ball talent in the country,
and though we succeeded in downing |
them last year by the scoreof 21 to 7,
the conservative base ball men of our
town were not so sanguine of the result
this time, as the team pitted as our rep-
resenatives, the best that could be gotten
up, was not as well practiced as the one |
that won us laurels last season.
Miller, a young catcher,was put in to
support Ellenberger for the home team,
but it was found necessary to substitute
Fahnestock after the second inning, as
Miller was unable to hold Ellenberger’s
swift drops and shoots. Had this change
been made at the beginning the result
would have been much different.
“In the first inning a missed third strike,
after two men had been retired, gave a
left on which Schurr, Clymer, Winters
and Hilderbidle scored. In their half
of the first Bellefonte tallied three times
on hits by Linn and Atherton and over-
throw to first by Clymer.
In the second the visitors added five
more rans to their number on Dickie’s
single and Winetrs home run. Belle-
fonte succeeded in sending Mattern
around the bags, but this was their last
score,though an opportune hit at sever-
al different times during the game
would have netted us several runs. Af-
ter the second Ellenberger went to
work and our boys played a good up
hill game, but the lead was too great to
overcome. Philadelphia again scored
in third, seventh and eighth inning their
score up to thirteen.
The battery work of Denny and Hel-
ler, the second base play of Linn, Har-
vard’s crack right fielder and captain,and
the brilliant tripple of Atherton and
Woodcock, after the former had caught
a hot line ball, were the features of the
game. Fahnstock, the mute catcher,
played one of the finest games over seen
on the home grounds, after he was put
behind the bat.

Dare oF MRS. MosEs THOMPSON.
—Mrs. Mary Thompson, wife of Mr.
Moses Thompson, whose death was er-
roneously announced several weeks ago,
died at Centre Furnace, last Friday
morning, in her 79 years. She was the
daughter of John Irvin, who migrated
from Ireland and, after a short residence
in Lewistown, settled in Centre county
in the latter part of last century and
became one of the largest landowners in
the county. She was married to Moses
Thompson in 1838, and eight children
were the result of this union, six of
wnom survive: Mrs. Dr. T. 8, Crist, op
Lemont; Mrs. John Hamilton, of State
College; John, Willam and James
and Miss Anna Irvin, the last two being
unmarried. The deceased was the sister
of Genersl James Irvin. She was a lady
whose christian virtues and personal |
qualities secured for her a large circle
of loving friends,

‘encampment will be held at Osceola
| Mills, Clearfield county, September 9,
1 10and 11,1890. ANG. A. R. Posts,
' Sons of Veterans and old soldiers of the

| Must Be A BorN Foor.—We don’t
| know exactly who “Dr.” Church
jof Milesburg is, but we understand
| that ke is a young fellow trying
to make a living off the people of
| that vicinity by peddling pills. We are
| told, however, on what we have every
{ reason to believe to be the best of au-
{ thority, that while discussing politics a
‘few days ago, on the streets of Miles-
| burg, this pill peddler asserted in the
| presence of four or five citizens of that
' place, that the “Democratic party was
made up of Catholics and rebels.” 1f
| this is correct, and it is told us as a fact
by one of the best men of that town, we
would advise everybody in that neigh-
borhood to stear clear of Dr. Church.
A man who is fool enough to make such
an assertion has too little brains to doe-
tor a sick dog, and it is not to be won—
dered at that that community has been
having an extra number of deaths of
late. ¢ Dr. ” Church had better pin up
his mouth or emigrate.
A FINE SET oF HARNESs—James
Schofield says that, as a general thing, it
is only once in a lifetime that lightning
strikos in the same place; but fortune
seems to strike him every little while—
politically and in a business way. Did
you see that $250 set of harness that Mr.
Daniel Garman sported on Thursday
&vening ? They are the finest set of silver
mounted harness this side of Philadel-
phia, and as fine as any in the city.
Any person desiring a similar set of
harness will have to leave their order
with Schofield, if they want them home-
made, as he is the only man in Central
Peensylvania that can make them. This
is the third set of such fine harness that
Mr. Schofield has made within 20 years,
and they were the only really fine
harness ever manufactured in Bellefonte.
The first set he made was for Mr. H.
Brockerhoff, and which cost $325; the
next set was for Mr. T. R. Reynolds—
cost $250, and now this set for Mr.
Garman—which are really the finest
harness of the three sets, but, owing
to a decrease in “raw material” Mr.
Schofield was able to get them out for
$250.
Can any other harness-makershow up
a like work ? Ifso, Mr. S. would like
to hear from him. In all cases he wants
it understood that there was no high
tariff on his goods. Mr. Garman had
examined harness in the cities, but pre-
ferring to encourage home industry, and
especially when he could do better at
home than abroed by placing his
orders with a man in whom he had all
confidence, he gave his order to Schofield
and now sports the finest set of harnass
in Centre county.—Daily News.
Court PROCEEDINGS—The August
term of Court convened on Monday with
more than the usual number of people
in attendance. In the criminal busi-
ness there was a larger number of assault
and battery cases than had come before
the court at any term in many years.
They numbered almost a dozen and
should have been settled before they
reached court, or, what would have been
better, they should never have occurred.
The following is asynopsis of the crimi-
nal business that engaged the attention of
the Court and jury.
Commonwealth vs. Frank Randall
and Joseph Burd; malicious mischief.
Settled.
Com. vs. Annie Hockenbury,
for larceny. Pleaded ‘not guilty”
to indictment, but when the case came
to trial changed her plea to “guilty.”
Not yet sentenced.
Com. vs. Joel Barner; assault and bat-
tery on Henry Yocum, who is quite an
old man. Verdict guilty and defendant
sentenced to pay a fine of $25 and cost,
and stand committed until sentence is
complied with.
Com. vs. Wm. Warner; assault and
battery. Settled.
Com. vs. George Weld; assault and
battery. The defendant, at Port Matil-
da, committed the offense on W. S. Port
whén the latter went to his farm, on
which Weld is a tenant, to take some
lumber. Fined $20 and costs.
Com. vs. Martin Rusnac; assault and
battery. Defendant found not guilty
and the costsequally divided between
him and the prosecutor, Abe Robinson,
the prosecutor.
Com vs. Daniel Robb, for assault and
threats. Bill ignored by the grand jury
and the costs put on the prosecutor,
William Singer.
Com. vs. B. P. Swartz; assault and
battery. The prosecutor was C. C. Nestle-
rode who complained that he had re-
ceived a blow on the head from a whip-
stock in the hands of the defendant.
! Found guilty, but sentence not yet
passed. -
Com. vs. D. CO. Lingle, assault and
battery. The offense was alleged to have
been committed on Green Decker at the
Penns Valley camp meeting some Sun-
days ago. The detendant pleaded guilty
aL
and was held in the sum of $200 to
keep the peace towards the prosecutor.
Com. vs, Wm. Reed ; charged with
selling liquor to minors and to intoxicat-
ed persons. The defendant was the
young man who was detected in ped.
dling whisky in Bellefonte, The po-
licemen of the town appeared against
him. The plea of not guilty was chang-
ed to guilty. Not yet sentenced.
Com. vs. M. G. Ardrey, for
desertion. Held in bond of $300 re-
cognizance for his appearance at court
on the first Tuesday in October.
Com vs. Charles Watson, f. and
b.; Eva E. McKinley, prosecu-
trix. Defendant acknowledged his guilt
and the court imposed the usual sen-
tence.
Com. vs. Wm. H. Cronover; larceny.
True bill found by grand jury. Not
yet tried at the time of this publication.
Com. vs. A. B. Lucas; larceny as
bailee. The action was brought by a Mr.
Parsons who averred that after Mr. Lu-
cas left the employment of Mrs. Dor-
worth at the latter's grocery (Mr. Par-
sons not knowing of his separation from
he store) he, Parsons, gave Mr. Lucas
$10 to apply on a debt, which money, it
is stated, had never reached Mrs. Dor-
worth. Upon hearing the testimony
the court held that it was not a case of
larceny as bailee as charged in the indict-
ment.
Com. vs. A. J. Gorton; assuult and
battery. The defendant, whois an ex-
constable of Philipsburg, was charged
with having forcibly attempted to kiss
Mrs. Elsie Chambers, of that place.
The prosecution alleged that the de-
fendunt entered the house of Mr. Cham-
bers on the 4th of August; that he
knocked and was admitted, remaining
about a quarter of an hour; that the
street door was closed while he was in
the house. The defendant said that he
was called in by Mrs. Chambers, and
that the door was open while he was in-
side, and that heremained only about
five minutes. In regard to nearly all
of the conversation both prosecution
and defense agreed. Prosecution stated
that the defendant being a one armed
man, Mrs. C. opened the door for him
to depart, and while she was so doing he
grasped her band, squeezing it so that
the ring pressed into the flesh, and solic-
ited a kiss, which was indignantly spurn-
ed by the lady. Then he asked her not to
be angry and say nothing about it, but
she replied that she was very angry and
then he made his exit. Defendant de-
nied all this and said that no thought of
kissing was in his mind. Several Phil~
ipsburg citizens testified to his good
character.
