THINGS ABOUT TOWN & COUNTY.
— Secure your seats early for the
Ada Richmond Burlesque Co.
— The large traffic caused by the
picnic has made all trains arriving in
Bellefonte very late this week.
—— Mr. Robt. Haines and wife were
with a theater party which came in from
Snow Shoe to the opening of the Opera
House.
—— Mr, and Mrs. Andy Bell, of north
Thomas street, returned from an ex-
tended trip through the west, last Fri-
day evening.
——The Lock Haven papers are all
tooting their horns over the probable
advent of a one horse circus into their
sleepy little burg.
Last Monday was the Hebrew New
Years day and the jewish merchants of
our town observed it by closing their
places of business.
——An Edison phonograph, with
cylinders playing various popular airs,
attracted a crowd to the Diamond on
Monday night.
— The sporting people of some of
our neighboring towns have been feeced
by a man who claims to be the agent of
Sells Bros. & S. H. Barret’s united circus:
——Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Maitland, of
‘Williamsport, are the proud parents of
a litle baby boy. Mrs. Maitland was
formerly Miss Minnie Garman of our
city.
—Charley Nau, Bellefontes ac-
complished pianist, has been engaged
by W. Fisk Conrad, to furnish the mu-
sic for his Tyrone Opera House this
winter.
— The ladies of the U. B. church of
this place will hold a fair and festival,
Sept. 27th, in the Bush Arcade. Meals
will be served at all hours during the
day in restaurant style.
——Mr. Hammond Montgomery, the
fireman on the Lewisburg passenger
train,who was hurtin the wreck of Sept.
9th. had so far recovered as to be able
to be taken home on Saturday.
——We had the pleasure of a brief
call from Mr, James C. Waddle, the
popular conductor on the B. E. V.
Road. He is taking a week off to at-
tend to some business, as he says, but
we think his business will mean a big
time at the Granger's picniz this
week,
——Mr. C. D. Keller, of La Jose ac-
companied by editor Pennybacker, of
the Coalport Standard, were in town on
Monday and Tuesday on their way to
the Granger's Picnic: Mr. Keller is the
the same genial whole-souled democrat
of by gone days and does not seem to be
a bit older than he was when he left
here twenty years age. at present is
operating a general store at La Jose.
——Hugh Taylor, the energetic young
foreman of the Logan Machine
Works Steam Heating Dep't, of this
place, is dividing his time be-
tween several large jobs now under con-
tract with his firm. Hugh is a thorough
mechanic and anything he does will be
of the best. He is at present at Watson-
town.
——The Baker farm in College town-
ship, near Oak Hall station, is for sale.
This would be an excellent chance for
anyone wishing to purchase a highly
desireable country home cheap as the
farm is offered low. It isin excellent
condition, with good water and fruit
and contains one hundred and fifty
acres.
——Another point in favor of the
marriage failure theorists is given by
the recent attempt of a four months
bride, Miss Smith, of near Cantre Hall,
to shoot her husband, Samuel Meyers.
They bad quarreled and the wife went
to the home of her parents. The hus-
band following, to persuade her to re-
turn, was met by his spouse who fired
upon him with a revolver. No injury
was done however.
—— Albert Inlow, the son-in-law of
Mr. C. H. Struble, of Struble’s station,
died on Monday morning last from the
effects of an injury received, several
weeks ago, by the falling in of the sides
of a ditch in which he was digging.
The earth caved in crushing the lower
part of his body so badly that paraly-
sis was the result. His remains were
buried in the cemetery at Pine Grove
Mills on Wednesday,
John F. Maginness, the popular
‘writer and compiler of the History of
the West Branch was here on Saturday.
He was interviewing the projectors of
the proposed Veteran's History of Cen-
tre county. If Mr. Maginness should
be employed as one of the writers on
this work it would certainly prove a
benefit to their hstory as he is one of the
ablest and best known journalists in this
part of the country.

Sap DrRowNING ACCIDENT.—We are
called on to-day to record a very sad ce-
currence, being the drowning in the
river between 10 and 11 o'clock this
forenoon, Saturday S:pt. 13th, of little
Frank Gearbart, youngest son of C. R.
Gearhart, the insurance agent. The
little boy was playing just above the
Tallon House on the river's edge where,
Mr. Schuyler has built a sort of warf
which is rip-rapped on either side with
stone, and only one log of which, owning
to the high water, stood above the cur-
rent. In walking on this log to go from
one end to the other, the poor little fel-
low fell into the water and sank. Sev-
eral persons witnessed the occurrence
and did what they could to rescue him,
but it was too late. He went down the
last time with his hands together as one
in the act of prayer and that was the
final scene in the sad and heart-breaking
tragedy.
At once men went to work to find the
body, using grappling irons, hooks and
poles, fishing hooks and everything they
could think of that would be likely to
attach itself to his clothing, and this
search they kept up until balf past one
o'clock. Finally Al. Hanna, ina boat
with Ira Smith rowing, felt his imple-
ment cling to something soft, and rais-
ing it up found that he had secured the
body of the unfortunate little victim.
The drowned child was found about op-
posite the upper side of Vesper street,
quite a distance above where he fell in,
the current of the eddy having carried
up instead of down. The body was at
once taken from the spot to the under-
taking establishment of Nelson Sloan,
to be prepared for burial, so as to avoid
as much as possible the horror of the
shock to his parents, especially to his
mother. Little Frank had made sever-
al narrow escapes from drowning pre-
vious to the fatal accident that befell
him to-day.
The deep sympathy of the community
is with the afflicted parents in their sud-
den and irreparable bereavement.—
Lock Haven Democrat.
AN INGENIOUS JUSTICE.~~Over near
Punxsutawney a couple appeared be-
fore Justice R. B. McKee, the other
day to get married. Some one had car-
ried the *Squire’s Binn’s Justice away,
and as it was his first marriage, the tem-
porary borrowir.g of this book kind of
embarrassed him. Knowing it would
not do to leave the couple know he was
in a box, he commanded them sternly to
stand up. They arose before him in a
frightened manner and he proceeded as
follows : “John do you: love this girl
well enough to marry her ?” John
said “yes.” Then turning to the bride
the Justice said : “Mary Ann, do you
love this girl well enough to marry
her 2? John said “yes.” Then turn-
ing to the bride the Justice said:
“Mary Ann, do you think you can keep
this fellow ; give him lots of spending
money, provide everything needed in
the home ; never go out in the after-
noon ; let him go and come as he pleas-
es; never scold him when he comes
home full ; never talk back to him ?”
She said yes, and then striking an atti-
tude, Bob, said dramatically: ‘Then
John and Mary Ann by the power vest-
ed in me by Binn’s Justice I declare
you man and wife.”” The groom prom-
ished to send Bob a bushel of potatoes,
five heads of cabbage and some turnips,
next season, and left the office with his
bride. Ever since, Bob has been put-
ting on airs because he got out of his
difficulty so well.
Tae MirroNn Fair.—I'he Milton
Fair which will be held on the 30th of
September and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of
October, is one of the most flourishing
fair associations in the State. The at-
tractions this year surpass all previous
efforts. The general premium list has
been enlarged and the premiums are
more liberal than heretofore. The en-
tries for trials of speed are highly satis-
factory to the management both as to
the number and the character of horses
to take part. Thecitizens purse of one
thousand dollars for trotting of the 2:25
class will attract some of the finest horses
in the country. In addition to these
the special attractions which have al-
ways characterized the association’s
meetings, will be better than ever. Ex-
Governor Pattizon and Ex-Senator Del-
amater, candidates for governor, will be
present and deliver addresses. We can
ascure our readers thatif they attend the
Milton fiir they will have no reason to
regret it. All the railroads leading to
Milton will run excursion trains and sell
tickets at excursion prices.
AN OLDFASHIONED JOURNEY.—A
nice reminder ot the 40s is seen in a re-
cent trip from Huntingdon Indiana, to
Milesburg, this county, made by W. S.
Walter, his wife and two children.
{ They drove the entire distance—700
{ wiles—ina one horse wagon, the trip
taking fourty-four days for completion.
{ This novel idea of driving through was
taken for a three-fold purpose, viz: econ-
omy, health and pleasure, all of which
were realized. Mr. Walter and his fam-
ily arrived at his father’s,John Walter’s
near Milesburg, on Sept. 3rd. On the
journey he reports having seen very lit-
tle fruit of any kind and during the en-
tire time they were in but three storms.
——Don’t miss seeing Ada Richmond
and her Burlesque Co., play “Chow
Chow’’ at the Opera House on Wednes-
day evening, Sept. 24th.
Quite a pleasant family birthday
party and reunion took place at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Brooks, near Pleasant Gap, on Friday
last.
SEER a
J. W. Hoover has meved his
Dry Goods and Grocery store from Uni-
onville to Scotia. He has combined it
with the a store already operated by
him at that place.
——There is said to be a man in the
Bald Eagle Valley who will have
enough apples to make cider this fall.
If this be true he should be watched or
some one will steal him and his pro-
perty.
——Mr. Thomas Hutchinson, who
was at one time in the express office of
this place, is home on a visit to his
.mother. Tom looks just like he ¢uster’’
except that he has grown a little hand-
somer,
——Some villainous young men in
Philipsburg recently made an admirer
of one of Chester Hill's fair dames
promise them a share in her smileg
and affections by threatening him with
a bath in Cold Stream.
——The license given the traveling
fakirs who visit Bellefonte almost daily
is surprising. On Tuesday night one of
this class opened up in the Diamond.
‘While claiming to want to talk to none
but intelligent people his language was
most vulgar and should not have been
tolerated by the authorities.
——The new chapel at Coleville will
be dedicated on Sabbath next. If the
day is pleasant the services will be con-
ducted in the grove adjoining the chap-
el. Rev. G. D. Pennepacker, of Clear-
field, will preach at 2:30 p. m., after
which the dedicatory services will take
place. A general invitation to all who
are interested in the cause of Cbrist is
extended.
——On Saturday morning last, Mor-
ris Hayden a colored man, had his legs
cut off, by a freight train at Tyrone,
Hayden was drunk at the time and stag-
gered over near the freight depot where
he fell against a moving car and was
thrown under it. His right leg will
come off above the knee and his left at
the ankle. The unfortunate man was
taken to the hospital in Altoona.
The performance of Davy Crock-
et; by Frank Mayo and his company,
on Friday night, last, was exceedingly
fine but the lines of the play are not
drawn for the effective acting that is
found in his beautiful melo-drama of
Nordeck. Though he has made his re-
putation in Crocket we feel that Wal-
demar Nordeck gives him a much
broader field for the full display of
hi talent.
——The Ada Richmoud Burlesque
Co. which will be here on Wednesday
night Sept. 24th has the charming
young actress, Louise Arnot, at its
head. Miss Arnot took Bellefonte by
storm at her last appearance here and
with the fine support that she has with
her this season a good show may be
looked for. Her company includes
fourty people, with a brass band and
orchestra,
It would be no additional ex-
pense to the Bald Eagle Valley rail road
to attach another passenger coach to the
down train on Saturday evenings, and
it would be a great convenience and ac-
commodation to passengers. We have
not been on that train once during the
past six months that it was not crowd-
ed full, and passengers standing in the
isles. Last Saturday night a lady with
three children, along with a dozen of
men, was compelled to stand all the way
down to Port Matilda.
With sorrow we are called upon
to record the death of Mrs. Foster, the
estimable wife of’Squire Samuel J. Fos-
ter of this place, which occurred at her
home on Monday between the hours of
twelve and one o’clock. She was just
sixty five years and eight months old at
the time of her death. Mrs. Foster's
maiden name was Jane Steel, a daugh-
ter of the Hon. John Steel who was one
time collector of the port of Philadel-
phia and one of the most prominent
men in the city of brotherly love. She
was a woman of culture and refinement
and was honored by the whole commun-
ity. A life-long member of the Presby-
terian church, she devoted much of her
time to Christian work and many will
remember her by her charitable deeds.
A husband and one child, Edward Fos-
ter, remain to mourn the loss of a loving
wife and mother. The funeral was held
at the house on Wednesday at two
o'clock.
——Having perfected arrangements
for handling grain, we are prepared to
buy at our Bishop street warehouse all
kinds of grain at market prices, and ex-
change flour for wheat.

AN ACCIDENT ON THE BUFFALO RUN
RAILROAD.—As the down train on the
Buffalo Run road was rounding the
horse shoe curve, about thirteen miles
above Bellefonte, last Tuesday morning
the engine left the track and plunged
down over the high embankment.
There is a very heavy grade at the
curve and on the return trip the engine
usually cuts lodse from the coaches and
runs down around the curve to take out
the cars on the Mattern branch. In
this way much time is saved bat it re-
quires a pretty high speed for the engine
to make the run and shift the cars be-
fore the coaches reach the train again.
The engine jumped the track at the
Scotia crossing and ran for a distance of
one hundred feet on the ties before it
went over the fill. Engineer Jerry
Nolan stuck to his post until the engine
turned over, when he jumped, but his
fireman, Theo. Whittaker jumped just
a little while before. On his fall he sus-
tained an ugly gash on the knee as well
as a number of painful bruises. Jerry
was badly shaken up but not in-
jured. It was indeed fortunate that the
coaches were not attached to the engine
at the time it made its wild plunge as
the bank is from ten to twenty feet high
and if they had gone down it with their
human freight there would undoubted-
ly have been a number of lives lost.
Lerr Ruxy WitH A Piston iN His
PockET.—It has become a really dan-
gerous and altogether too general a cus-
tom for young men who want to appear
big, brave, cowardly or something else,
to go about with loaded revolvers in
their pocket. It was this cowardly cus-
tom—cowardly it is, for no one but a
coward will carry a weapon when there
is no danger—that brought Hopkins
and Andrews to the scaffold, and now
bas Wilson within its shadow. For
some time past our policemen have been
trying to break this custom up, and on
Tuesday last received information that
a young fellow up town was brandish-
ing round a revolver and telling what
he would do with it. Shortly after-
wards they discovered him in the neigh-
hood of the Bush House and placed him
under arrest. The loaded revolver was
found upon his person, and information
for carrying concealed weapons was
made against him. Neither of the Jus-
tices nor the mayor being in town, he
was taken before assistant burgess Swoop
who after reading the charge and hear-
ing the testimony, fined him $3 for
“drunken and disorderly” conduct and
ignored entirely the charge upon which
he had been arrested-—the only charge
made against him. Is it to be wonder-
ed at that this section of the State has a
surfeit of criminals when its officials act
as did assistant burgess Swoop in this
case ?
NurruaLs. — On Tuesday evening
last the beautiful grounds surrounding
the handsome residence of the Hon. Jos.
‘W. Merrey, at Beech Creek, were bril-
liantly lighted and decorated, it being
the occasion of the marriage of his eld-
est daughter, Miss Sadie, to Frank T.
Quigley of the same place. At exact-
ly 7:30 o'clock the bridal party passed
through the long parlor and then out on
to the tront veranda where the impres-
sive Episcopal ceremony was pro-
nounced by Rev. C. J. Woods, rector
at Lock Haven. About one hundred
and eighty admiring friends witnessed
the marriage, after which they all Le-
stowed their congratulations on tle
happy couple. A wedding feast was
then spread and it was a veritable meal
for the gods. After this, dancing was
indulged in until after midnight.
Many handsome and useful presents
were received by the bride and groom
who left on the late train for an extend-
ed tour east. We wish them unbound-
ed happiness and prosperity in their life
to come.
MurDERER WILSON BRouGHT BE-
FORE THE CoURT oN A HABEAS Cor-
pUs.—On Saturday last John Wilson,
the man who shot Harry ‘Waterhouse
on one of our streets recently, was
brought before judge Furst on a writ of
habeas corpus. But two witnesses were
examined, viz : John Rine and Rob’t.
McKnight, both of whom were eye
winesses to the murder. Their evi-
dence was enough to send Wilson back
to jail, without bail, where he will stay
until the November court at which
term he will be tried. C.P. Hughes and
W. F. Reeder will defend him while ex-
judge Orvis will assist Dis’t. Att'y. Mey-
er as prosecuting attorney for the com-
monwealth. Whatever be the result of
the trial, this man should be given the
full extent of the law as his crime,
while not premeditated, was as deliberate
as anything could be.
For VioLAaTiNG THE FisH Laws.—
County Detective Keller, of Lock Ha-
ven went to Renovo last week and ar-
rested six persons for fishing on Sunday
in violation of the laws of the State,
They entered bail in the sum of $200
each for their appearance before Alder-
man Noble of Lock Haven. It is re-
ported that the detective has warrants
in his possession for the arrest of a num-
Ler of ether parties, who were out of
town on the evening of his visit to
Renova.
For Rext.—A small house on Thom- |
as street is for rent cheap. A good gar- |
der and all conveniences. Apply to!

Narrow E:cApe: — The Renovo
News says: ‘When Erie Mail east ar-
rived at the damaged bridge above Cam-
eron on Friday evening the train was
stopped and the train hands got off to ex-
amine the bridge and were consuliing
one another as to whether it would be
safe to cross or not. After several min-
utes consultation the crew had about
concluded to cross. Returning to the
train with that end in view, but alas!
about the time they reached the train
they heard a crash, and away went the
bridge in the flood. Just imagine what
a narrow escape from death and a wa-
tery grave that was. Had it held two
minutes longer the whole train, crew
and passengers would have been swept
away.”

ATTENTION, STREET COMMITTEE.—
Some time ago, it w2 mistake not, our
council passed an ordinance prohibiting
the emptying of ashes and garbage in
front of buildings on the public streets.
When this ordinance was passed it was
suggested by council that all persons,
not having any back place in which to
throw their ashes, etc., should procure
neat boxes which they could use and
then,when filled, have them carted away.
Now, this privilege has been greatly
abused and the ordinance is even violat-
ed every day by many of our citizens.
Now we wish to call the attention of
the street committee to this fact. For
in many places on our two busi-
est streets—High and Allegheny—
old broken barrels, overflowing with
unsightly rubbage, have been setting out
in full view all summer. Now, this
thing should be stopped ; and it can be
by simply enforcing the law. There
is no reason whatever why some people
should mar the whole beauty of our
streets by leaving their litter to accumu-
late in front of their houses and places
of business.

Obituary Memorial,
Died at Fillmore, Centre county,Penna., Miss
Nina Kepheart, the eldest daughter of J. Mat-
lock Kepheart, on Sept. 8th, 1830, at 10 o'clock
a. m.,aged 33 years, of malar ia typhoid, which
was contracted some two years since, while
on a visit to Emma Dickerson who resides at
Roanoke Va.,and lately it turned tosciatic rheu-
matism. She had been a patient sufferer for
the past two years, and during that time she
had nursed an aged father through a long spell
of sickness. She was a dutiful daughter, with
goodness of heart for all suffering humanity,
a ministering angel in hours of sickness; One
who had been cherisned with much affection,
and has been the light and joy of many hearts,
has been removed from all the scenes of
earth. She was a christian in good standing
in the M. E. Church. To-day we mourn a sis-
ter who has fallen in the bloom of youth, a
vietim of the ravages of death, like a flower
cut down prematurely. Her death is full of
sadness, We very naturally dislike to see
any enterprise crushed ere it has had time to
develope itself. We dislike to see any project
abandoned ere time has been given to its prac-
ticability. But when a young person dies, a
glorious enterprise is abandoned ere its prob-
able effect is cerlain; a noble project is crush-
ed in the very dawning of its glory. Her sun
went down while it was yet day, her hopes
withered like the broken ieaves of a tiny flower;
her desires of future good and future pleasure
lie with her in the grave, and an aged father,
bowed down with grief, and an affectionat and
loving sister sits brooding over the scene with
tears and lamentations. Another grave is ad-
ded to the silent, city of the dead. One who
has walked, and talked, and sung with us ;
who has shared our joys and been the partner
of our sorrows, is now no more. But while the
form has gone the spirit still lingers and hoy.
ers over the sorrowing friends though the body
is not here; the sweet and precious memory of
virtue and goodness is left for us to cherish.
The one who has descended to the tomb was
loved in life; she is remembered in death; she *
was prized and honored by a circle of relatives,
friends and acquaintances on earth. She will
be sanctified in heaven ; and the tender hymn
which we sang buta moment ago over the
pale form wil! often be sung by those sisters
who are weeping over her coffin.
It will be sung as long as the memory of vir-
tue shall continue and unaffected goodness
shall be appreciated.
We would not linger too long over the grave
or shed too many tears for the bereaved afflie-
tion. The departed one does not need our la-
mentations. She wears a crown of glory now,
and a robe of light, Her companioas are the
pure spirits of the upper world and her cup of
joy is full. J. M. K.
Died.
BLOOM.—At State Collége, Pa., Sept.13, 1890,
Mr. Henry Bloom, ag=d 82 years, 5 months
and 12 days. The funeral took place on
Sunday afternoon from Pine Hall church;
the interment was made in the cemetery at
Pine Grove Mills.
RUPERT.—At her home near Zion, Sevt. 7,
1890, Mrs. M. J. Rupert, in the 68th year of
her age.
Deceased had lived her entire life at the
place of her death. She remembered well
when every one,even the now oldest residents,
came to establish their homes within several
miles of her home. Her father, Thomas Mec-
Calmont, having lived at the place of her death
since 1798. Thus is a knowledge of the early
history of that pertion of the county closed
forever, as no one now remains to write it.
Her brothers and one sister at an early day
located in the western states,only one of them,
Wm. McCaimont,of Freeport, Ill. ,is now living.
Deceased had been a member of the Pres-
byterian church of Jacksonville for forty-five
years—a membership which closed only with
her death.
In later years, though not incapacitated from
active participation in life’s duties, she was a
great sufferer, but amid it all maintained a
cheerfulness and composure, and a tender
sympathy with the cares and anxieties of
others which marked only too well that the
time of departure was near at hand. Truly
she has left a home desolate—the light of it is
