ber of the third class which considers it
a duty to haze the members of the fourth
class. Recently several members of the
fourth class were hazed by some of the
members of the third class, and it was
at this bazing the authorities of the
academy claim that Mr. Cruse was a
spectator. Mr. Oruse was sum-
~moned before a court martial, who had
-been investigating the alleged hazing
cases, and upon his refusing to disclose
the names of the guilty parties he was
discharged for refusing to obey orders,
Andrew is well known in Bellefonte

WeppING BrLLs.—A large con-
course of Bellefonte people assembled in
3
? the Methodist church on Wednesday
~ | evening to see the marriage of Mr. Phil
| Foster, of State College, to Miss Bertha
{ Haupt, of this place. Promptly at six
| clock the church organist, Miss Mac-
| umsey, commenced the beautiful Hy-
menial marca by Mendelsohn, and the
main entrance doors were thrown open,
revealing the bridal procession. First
came the ushers, Messrs Rankin and
Noll, of Bellefonte, Charles Foster, a
cousin of the groom, from State Col-
lege, and H. B. McLean, of Pittsburg.
| Then the prospective bride and groom.
The Rev. Houck was waiting at the

wife. The groom is one of State Col-

promising young man. His bride is the
youngest daughter of Mr, Simeon

"A MURDER IN SUGAR VALLEY.—
The Lock Haven Democrat states that
a terrible affair occurred on the 18th
inst in the Sugar Valley narrows,
which has just come to light, the result
of which was the loss of another valua-
ble life at the hands of an unrelenting
and cruel murderer. The fearful deed
was committed in the broad glare of the
open day, about one mile from the pub-
lic road, in a place not much frequented
by man or beast. What the victim's
first name was we do not know, but his
surname was Bear and he did not belong
to the white or Caucasian race. On the
contrary he was quite black, and was
hunting chestn':s, when he was met by
a man from Centre Hall by the name
of Webber, who was prowling around
those parts and had been frequently seen
by varions percons. Whether they had
ever met before we do not know, but at
any rate, on coming in contact with each
other on this occasion Webber immedi-
ateiy raised his gun and shot Bear dead.
Next day Webber was not seen and has
not been heard from since. No arrest
has yet been made.
A Farrsrun Doc wao SAvED His
MasTtER’S Lire.—On Thursday night
of last week, says the Coalport Standard
Farmer L. Imler, living near Utahville,
returned from Houtzdale, where he had
been to collect ~ome money, and while
putting his horse away in the barn, was
assaulted by tw) unknown ruffians, who
had, doubtless, followed him from
Houtzdale, to rob him. One of the
ruffians struck him with a knife while
the other beat him with a club. They
would have murdered him but for the
sudden appearance of Mr. Imler’s huge
farm dog, which bounded on the scene
and pinned one of the villains to the
ground, allowing Mr. Imler to escape
to the house, whare he aroused his fam-
ily and rang the farm bell and brought
the neighbors to the rescue. The dog
in the meantime had fought valliantly,
but the two robbers managed to escape
from him and get away in the darkness,
Craims $6,000.—Judge Mayer will
have a case of somewhat more than or-
dinary interest before him at the next
term of the court in Elk county, as we
learn from one of the papers of that sec-
tion that Mrs. Harry Wilson bas
brought action against Robert Cochran,
of Weedville, claiming damages to
the extent of $6,000 for the illegal sell-
ing of liquor to her husband, Harry
Wilson, on tha 20th day of August, and
at previous times, causing him on the
last mentioned date to become intoxicat-
ed, by reason of which he wandered on
the A. V. railroad track and was struck
by a train of cars and permanently crip—
pled and disabled. Mr. Wilson is now
under treatment in a hospital. The fam-
ily consists of three children. A. H.
Cole is the attorney for the plaintiff. —

a stretcher, and was supposed to be bad-
ly hurt, but a thorough examination
since gives the assurance that there is
no internal injury. Mr. Blair lives on
Fairview street, and is getting along all
right.— Lock Haven Democrat of Sat-

APPLE BLossoMS AT EAGLEVILLE.—
Mr. John J, Shaffer, the popular in-

tree on the premises of David Bumgard-
sner near Hagleville, which is now full
| of blossoms.— Lock Haven Democrat.

by all who knew her. About a year
ago she went with her mother fo live
in Massachusetts where her brother
and two sisters were employed, and it
was there that she contracted a cold
which developed into consumption.

of life the blighting hand of death is
thrust. Lives that were bright and

—The Latest Paris Novelty—The
MARRIAGE OF JUDGE LiNN's DAUGH-
rER —Miss Blanch Linn, of Williamn-
sport, was previous to her father’s
death, engaged to be married to Prof.
Charles W. Fleming, of Pittsblrs.
The following is an account of their
marriage under extraordinary circum-
stances :
Early in the present month Professor
Flewing went to Philadelphia on busi-
ness. While there he received a tele-
gram: from his betrothed stating that
her father, who had been an invalid for
years, had become suddenly worse, and
was at the point of death. The Profes-
sor was urged to hasten to Willam-
sport.
He took the first train, and on his ar-
rival found Judge Lynn on his death '
bed. Calling his daughter «nd the Pro-
fessor to his bedside, he said it had been |
his desire to see them married before he
died, but as dissolution was near he
knew his wish could not bs gratified. |
He insisted, however, that as all the
members of the family had gathered at |
the homestead, the wedding cere mony
should take place before his body was
carried from the house.
The young people promised the dying |
man that his wish would be carried out.
The family was summoned and inform-
ed of the agreement. No objection was
offered and Judge Lynn fell back on
his bed and expired.
Thursday afternoon, October 16, the
Lynn homestead at Williamsport was
filled with the friends of the dead Judge '
and his family. The corpse of the jurist
reposed in a handsome casket in the cen-
ter of the room. Ina few minutes a
most extraordinary scene took place. A
minister arose and requested Blanche
Lynn and Charles W. Fleming to step
to an open spacein the room near the
head of the coffin. The younz lady,
leaning on the arm of Mr Fleming,
sobbing and with grief depicted on every
feature, took a position where they |
could look upon the face of the dead. |
The Judge’s wish was complied with
and the young couple wers married.
After pronouncing the pair man and
wife and bestowing on them his bless-
ing the minister procseded to conduct
the funeral services over the remains of
Judge Lynn.
It is to be regretted that the marriage |
under such peculiar circumstances, did
not, in its most essential particulars,
oonform with the above statement
which appeared in the Philadelphia
Press, and that it occurred contrary to
the wishes of the Judge's friends and |
family. The Williamsport Republican,
whose reporter interviewed the family,
reports the facts tobe as follows:
During April of the present year Miss
Blanche Linn visited Pittsburg and
there for the first time met Professor
Fleming. He was an accomplished mu-
sician, and when Miss Linn returned
from Pittsburg it was to inform her
friends that she was engaged to be mar-
ried to the Professor. Later the time
for the wedding was appointed and the
holidays promised to find the William-
sport lady and the Pittsburg professor
made one.
On the Saturday before the death of
Judge Linn, Professor Fleming arrived
in Williamsport on a visit. Within
the next few days the Judge died and
on Wednesday, October 15th, the fami-
ly was horrified to learn from Miss Linn
and the Professor that they had made
up their minds to be married on the
followfng day. In vain the relatives
protested. Miss Linn and the Profes-
sor had made up their minds and ali of
the entreaties of friends would not
change them. They were married in
the parlor of the Linn homestead on
Thursday. The body of Judge Linn
was in a room up stairs at the time, and
the only persons present with the bride
and groom and minister, Rev. Mr. Boal,
of Newberry, were two married sisters
and one brother-in-law, and they were
there under protest. Judge Linn had
no part in bringing about the marriage
and his relatives in the city are indig-
nant that Professor Fleming should
have gone off to Pittsburg and circulat-
ed such a yarn. The idea of the friends
of Judge Linn is that Fleming wanted
a little cheap notoriety, and that he
prevailed upon Miss Linn to consent to
the marriage which took place within
the house of death. His action in going
to Pittsburg and causing the widespread
circulation of the yarn published above
proves this fact, and it is not to be won-
dered at that the relatives of the dead
Judge are indignant.

How Delamater Stands in His Own
County.
TirvsvinLe, Pa, Oct. 27th 1890.
Editor WATCHMAN ¢
Some of your readers rnay find interest in a
report from a former Centre county boy of the
present political situation at the home G. W.
Delamater, Mr. Quay’s man for Governor. I
regret to state that Quay’s man is mach dis-
trusted by his fellow citizens where he is best
known. George Wallace Delamater was born
and raised near Townville, Crawford county.
Why Wallace is so unpopular at Townville I
don’t know, but if the Republicans of Town-
ville keep their word, out of about seventy of
hisown party in that borough George Wallace
will not receive more than ten votes at the
coming election.
In Meadville, where Delamater resides,
there is much bitter opposition to him in the
Ropablican party, and it is said, on good au-
thority, that his own ward, which is Republi-
can, will give a majority against him.
Of course Quay’s boodle is looked for. The
Democrats and Independent Republicans are
well prepared for its corrupting appearance,
They have raised a large fund for detecting
and punishing all who make improper use of
money to influence the coming election in
Crawford county. They offer a reward of $100
for the discovery of each case of attempted
corruption of the ballot which shall lead to the
arrest,convictionjand senten :e of the offender.
I believe Delamater will be beaten in his own
county.
Titusville is honored(?) by the citizenship
of Wm. H. Andrews. This man, Bill Andrews,
as he is called here, it a very recent factor in
the politics of the State. But a short time
since there were few so low as to do him rever-
ence. It is true, he was once a big merchant.
But it is also true that he failed as a merchant
in each of six cities and towns, namely: Louis-
ville, Ky., Cincinnati, O., Meadville, Titusville
and Warren, Pu., and Jamestown, N. Y, Now,
business failures may overtake a man from no
fault of his own. It is possible that not one of
he six failures above referred to was the re-
sult of any fault of Mr. Andrews, but it is cer-
tain that he bit off more thanjhe could chew.
He is now Quay’s chairman, or, perhaps more
properiy, Chairman of the State Committee of
the party that isthe property of Mr. Quay.
The belief in this section is that Andrews is
again biting off more than he can chew.
If Delamater fails of election, Quay is
once more a broken man. You remember,
Mr. Editor, that Quay, from the close of the
campaign in 1878 to 1885, when he was elected
State Treasurer, was a disabled politician.
The New York World has published: consider-
able of Quay’s history during the time just
spoken of, but did not publish all. It is not
necessary now to suippiement the record. But
for about seven years Quay was practleally a
political bankrupt. In 1885 G. W. Delamater
and the late Dr. Roberts furnished Quay with
money for a campaign which again put him
upon his feet. It seems that Quay always
plays for a big stake. He owes to Delamater
his restoration to political power, and he re-
turned Delamater’s favor by;making him: the
1 Republiean candidate for Governor. It was
| in the bargain between them. The two: are
now inseparable. If Delamater sinks, Quay
also goes down.
Crawford county constitutes a senatorial’ dis-
| trict. Andrews is the Republican candidate in

A An Appeal to the Laboring Men.
CraTHAM'S RUN, CLINTON Co., Pas,
“Oct. 25th, 1890.
EpiTor WATCHMAN. —Dear Sir :—~1L
suppose yow will naturally be strong
for Bb Gray Meek for Senator. This
is why I hope to get my appeal to
the iaboring men of our district through.
the WATCRMAN.
In my own peculiar way I have de-
voted my entire life and labor to the:
eause of thestruggling toilers, and now
I appeal to them to roll up a majority
for P. Gray Meek that incorporated
sharks may tremble in their boots.
1 am not in favor of Meek because: he:
'| is-a Democrat, or an editor, but because
his past official record proves him to be
|| afriend to labor. I am for Meek. be-
cause he was the champion of the labor
tien bill whieh secures the wages: of’
the common laborer, and because he: se--
cured a special law for Centre county to.
compel railroad eompanies to pay for
the poor man’s eow which their em~
ployes sometime kill on the track.
A man whe has done so much for: the:
laboring men: of Centre county will
‘| look after the interest of labor for: our
Senatorial distriet.
Thereis no danger of incorpoerat-
‘| ed! wealth defeating him in a district.
| like ours, but we ought to give him
such a majority that only the friends. of’
Inbor would dare seek office throughs our
| votes.
You need net vote for Meek because
be is a Demoerat. Throw your polities
to the dogs when it interferes withy your
interests. But vote for him on his- past.
officialirecord. If we do not shew our
. gratitude to friends of labor, how shal}
we make or retain the friendship of
those in position to help us? If you
only knew how I have been warmed w
towards the laboring people when ?
‘learned how liberally they supported
: the paper for which I write, you. would
know the secret of making friends.
‘ When I saw that the laboring men ap-
preciated my work and patronized the
' news paper in which I was interested,
"I became one of them in thoughts, hopes
. and labor.
1t will be so in case you well up a
rousing majority for Meek. He will
‘know his friends and remember them.
Always the friend of the oppressed
| poor. Farawax Moses
