BELLEFONTE'S NEW STEAMER A
Svccrss.—The new Steam Fire Engine,
which the citizens of this town purchas-
ed for the Logan Hose Co., No. 1, ar-
rived on Friday last and was taken di-
rectly to the Hosa house on Howard
street. Itis asmall size class 5 engine,
| weighing 4500 pounds, made by the
| Silsby Fire Engine Company, at Seneca
Fall, N.Y., and is a model of beauty in
construction. Everything about it is
finished in nickel except a small portion
of the running gears which is painted in
| red and black, the Logan colors,
The trial was made on Saturday after-
noon at the race bridge on West High
street. The suction hose was thrown
into the race and the fire lighted. A 5
pound steam pressure was gotten up in
five minutes and enough to run with in
about seven. Taking into consideration
the fact that the water in the boiler was
perfectly cold when the fire was lighted
this was remarkably quick. At first one
stream was tried, and trom the Spring
Creek bridge it threw water onto the
roof of Finkbinder’s building, a distance
of about 2350 feet, and toa heighth of
about twice that ofthe Bush Arcade,
which is the tallest building in town.
Two streams were then tried with about
the same result in force, and the head
was but slight.y decreased when four
nozzles were brought into play. The
next trial was made at the N. E. corner
of the Diamond, trom which point, with
a fire plug feeder, it threw water clear
over the Court House to Garman’s Hotel.
It was then taken up East Linn street
i and tried. It will be remembered that
during the fire which destroyed Mr.
Morris Cowdrick’s large stable last
spring, the town force would not throw
a stream of over 25 or 30 feet, but when
the engine was used a solid column of
135 feet was thrown. :
In every way the steamer surpassed
its guarantee and the Logan boys were
very highly pleased with it. We might
say right here that the Council has been
considering the advisability of erecting a
public building for Bellefonte for some
time, and we beleive that the lot on east
Howard street, now used by the Coronet
Hook and Ladder Co., hasbeen purchas-
ed for that purpose. In the Spring a
handsome building will, probably, be
erected on it in which will be a police
station, council chamber, a hall for the
firemen, an engine house with stables
for the horses which will be bought and
worked on the streets. By this arrange-
ment the town will save the expense of
keeping up a number of small buildings,
will have an efficient fire service and a
public building to which we can all
point with pride. We hope that the
new project will be tavorably acted
upon by Council and that the work of
improvement will go on without any
interruption.
A Lucky RAILROAD CONDUCTOR.—
The Penna. Railroad Company has
handsomely treated Conductor Samuel
F. Keller, who has so long been favor-
ably known to travelers on the P.& E.
and N. C. raiiroads. Mr. Keller was
the Democratic candidate for Sheriff in
Dauphin county at the last election and
was elected by a majority of between
800 and 900, notwithstanding that the
county usually gives about 2000 Repub-
licar majority. During the campaign
the Company gave him one month’s
leave of absence. After the election Mr.
Keller went back and resumed his daties
on the road. His official duties will
commence on the first Monday of Janu-
ary and will last three years. Mr. Kel-
ler was preparing his resignation as con-
ductor when an order was issued giving
him three years leave of absence. This is
one of the longest leaves ever known to
have been given by a railroad company.
The office is worth from $7,000 to 10,-
000 a year, and if Mr. Keller, after the
expiration of his term, shall want to
resume his old place on the road he will
find it open for him.
A Koca ParieNt.—Mr. Frank
Beardsley, a resident of Lock Haven,
was the first man in Pennsylvania to re-
eeive an injection of Dr. Koch's won-
derfal lymph. The operation was per-
formed at the University Hospital, in
Philadelphia, on Wednesday afternoon,
Dec. 17th. Mr. Beardsley is suffering
from bone tuberculosis and decided to
undergo the treatment with the hope of
being benefited thereby. At the present
writing he is doing very well and other
injections will soon follow. The pa-
tient manifested a slight nervousness
when Dr. White inserted the lymphatic
needle under the skin between his
shoulder blades, but he soon gained con-
fidence and stood the operation, which
however is not at all painful, very
nicely.
——The coal war which is being wag-
| ed in Bellefonte is quite a blessing to the
| poor people of this vicinity.
——The Electric Light Co’s linemen
commenced wiring for the arc light on
Tuesday. Supt. Kitson hopes to have
the streets lighted some time in the
early part of January.
——The search which has been kept
up for several weeks for Mr. Newton
Graham, the gentleman who is lost
somewhere in the mountains near Clear-
field, has thus far availed nothing. Tt is
feared that he lies dead under the snow.

——1If you saw the handsome new
steamer on Saturday; help pay for it by
buying a ticket to the Logan Hose Ball
in the Arcade on New Year’s Eve.
There is a letter in the Altoona
post-office addressed to Dear Old Santa
Claus, North Pole. The post-master is
in a quandary as to which route it
should take.
——We regret to learn of the death of
Mrs. Eliza J. Bartholomew, which oc-
curred at her home at 23, Bluft street,
Pittsburg, on Sunday, Dee. 21st. The
deceased was the wife of Allen Barthol-
omew, formerly of Walker township,
this county, and was 61 year of age.
——We are indebted to Mr. Harry
W. Tibbens, the editor of that spicy lit-
tle journal, Chat, published at Altoona,
for a Christmas number of the same.
It is a'neatly gotten up, 20 page, illus-
trated magazine, and is the only pnbli-
cation of the kind in Central Pennsyl-
vania. Its editor is but a young boy
who formerly attended the High School
here. ‘We wish you success, Harry.
From the Freeport, Ill, Daily
News of recent date, we learn of the
death of John Bair a former Centre
county man. He died in the village of
Dakota, near Freeport. His illness was
of short duration and it was not thought
that it was dangerous until shortly be-
fore his death. When here the deceas-
ed was a veterinary surgeon and as such
was quite successful. He went West in
1885 to practice his profession. The
deceased was 65 years of age and leaves
but one daughter, Mrs. Dr. Mingle, of
Dakota, to mourn his loss.
——Much complaint has been heard
of the disorderly character of the County
Institute last week. Much of this was
due to the unruly conduct of many of
the spectators, but a large percentage of
the teachers were equally ill behaved
Frequently the proceedings presented a
scene of disorder of a discreditable
character. Some of the teachers, male
ard female, seemed to think that the oc-
casion was particularly designed for
flirting and levity of that kind. It is
getting to be questioned whether County
Institutes are worth the time and money
expended upon them, and if such con-
duct becomes an established feature of
their proceedings, public opinion will
come to the conclusion that they are
not worth the time and expense.
——The energetic and successful mer-
chant and P. M. at Port Matilda, Mr,
S. R. Pringle, is not often caught nap-
ping, but when he was called into the
parlor to adjust the stove pipe on last
Saturday evening, and on hurrying in
was confronted by a gay party of his
friends and neighbors who had assembled
to do honor to his fifty-first birthday an-
niversary, his amazed look and surpris-
ed ejaculations were genuine. After a
short time he set to work to entertain
the company and all passed a very
pleasant time. The edibles had been
prepared by Mrs. Pringle and daughters,
and consisted of al] the delicacies of the
season. The guests did ample justice to
them. One of the appropriate gifts much
prized by the recipient was a gold ring
from his children, We jointhe guests
in their best wishes, and hope Mr.
Pringle may see the return of many
happy birthday anniversaries.
—— We call the attention of the people
of Bellefonte and vicinity to the last en-
tertainment which will be given under
the Star Course. Tt will be the Red-
path Concert Company, ‘composed en-
tirely of solo artists of national reputa-
tion.” The company includes Miss
Chamberlin, the original whistling so-
loist, Miss Clara Hunt, soprano, Miss
Edith Christie, violinist, Mr. Ed. XK.
Hood, humorist and Mr. J. Francis
Gilder, piano soloist. The concert will
be given in the court house, Tuesday
evening, Dec. 30th. This will be the
last of the Star Course series, and the
ladies have selected an unusually fine
one to leave the farewell impression.
Miss Chamberlin is a concert in herself,
which will be worth any one’s time to
hear. We append a brief press notice
of each member of the company and
feel that you cannot but be strack with
its excellence:
Miss Chamberlin’s whistling is re-
markable for its varied expression. She
performs difficult operatic airs, chang-
ing the expression from the piquant
brillianey of the piccolo to an exquisite
flute-like softness with perfect ease.—
Philadelphia Telegram.
The solo singing by Miss Clara Hunt
was fine, She captivated the audience
completely.— Erie Pa. Dispatch.
Mr. Hood's readings and impersona-
tions were among the happiest efforts
that have been heard on a Detroit stage.
— Detroit Free Press,
Mr. Gilder’s brilliant pianoforte solos
produced the usual enthusiasm, and
each was redemanded. This accom-
plisted performer is fast becoming more
and more a favorite with concert audi-
ences.— Philadelphia Press.
The gem of the evening was the vio-
lin solo by Miss Christie. Never was
sweeter music made from this, the most
wonderful of all instruments.—7%e Syr-
acuse, N. V., Standard.
Dears oF MRs. MARGARET I.GREGG.
—The death of this most estimable wom-
an occurred at her residence in Miles-
burg on Saturday, Dec. 20, 1890. She
was a daughter of John Irvin, once a
prominent citizen of Harris township,
who built the mills and kept store at
Linden Hall, where Mrs. Gregg was
born, Oct. 11, 1803. She was married
Dec. 2,1824,by Rev. Wm.Stuart, to Hon.
Andrew Gregg, a well known iron-mas-
ter in Centre county and active business
man, who represented the district com-
posed of the counties of Lycoming,
Clinton and Centre in the State Senate
in 1856-1861, and who died in Miles-
burg, May 15, 1869.
Her whole long life of eighty-seven
years was spent in Centre county ; a life
fragrant with the memory of her good
deeds; a life of constant blessing to her
family and the communities in which
she lived ; a life which closed in a tri-
umphant departure. Her la‘est thoughts
and anticipations were of the re-
newal of the kindred tie in Heaven,
and of blissful communion with those
who had preceded her to the eternal
world.
“The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and Jost,
awhile.”
In early life she dedicated herself to
God and never broke her vow. For
many, many years she was a consistent
member of the Baptist church and died
in that communion ; and from her sweet
face, calm in death, a voice of love seem-
| ed to come, bidding all cease to weep in
| gloom for ber who had exchanged earth’s
toil for Heaven’s rest,
The funeral took place from her home
in Milesburg on Tuesday at 2 p.m,
the officiating minister taking for his
theme very appropriately, Rev. 14 chap-
ter, 13 verse. “And I heard a voice
from Heaven saying unto me, write,
blessed are the dead which diein the
Lord, from henceforth: yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
laborers, and their works do follow
them.”
Mrs. Gregg leaves to survive her two
sisters,Mrs. Eliza I. Curtin and Mrs. W.
‘W. Potter, of Bellefonte. Her surviv-
ing children are Gen. John. I. Gregg,of
Washington City, Andrew Gregg, of
Penns Valley, and Misses Annie, Juliz,
and Susan Gregg, of Milesburg.
A DEsPICABLE AcTiON —On Tues-
day morning last a two horse bob-sled
was passing the Bush House and a poor,
frail looking little girl, with the hope of
getting a sled ride, jumped on it. No
sooner did its driver discover her on the
sled than he struck at her with his
heavy whip-stock, Fortunately the
stroke fell slightly short of its mark or
the little girl would have received a
blow on the head. When we take into
consideration the fact that the fellow—
we can’t call him a man, for it would
imply manhood which is certainly for-
eign to him— had no load whatever on
his sled and that the little one could not
have weighed more than sixty pounds,
it was one of the most contemptible
things we have ever witnessed on a
Bellefonte street.
CoAL.—Messrs. McCalmont & Co.,
who conduct the Peoples’ Coal Yard, of
Bellefonte, on the popular plan of the
lowest price, as well as one price to all,
whether they buy large or small quanti-
ties, propose to give practical force to
their appreciation of the large and liber-
al patronage that is now being extend-
ed to their coal yard by friends and cos-
tomers. They will donate ten tons in
one-half ton lots of Snow Shoe eoal, dur-
ing the ensuing holiday week, to such
meritorious persons as are incapaciated
from earning a competency, or those who
make an honest effort, but fail in so do-
ing. Applications will be considered
and decided on their merits.
—— Charles Cleary, the Renovo mur-
derer, will have another trial at the
January term of the Clinton county
court. The young man is fast enlisting
the sympathy of the people of that coun-
ty, and it is believed that the outcome ot
this trial will be different from that of
« his first which was murder in the first
degree. He shot chief-of-police Paul,
in Renovo.
Pine Hall will have a Musical
Convention soon, Prof. J. A. Weaver
has just completed arrangements for
holding a grand convention in the Luth-
eran church at that place beginning on
Monday evening Jan. 12th, and elosing
Saturday evening the 17th. If you
have an opportunity of attending and
don’t, you will miss a rare chance.
——During the heavy snow last week
a young man was found at 12 e’clock at
night lying in the street at Lock Haven
helplessly drunk and almost snowed
under. He would have been entirely
covered up and perhaps frozen if a po-
liceman hadn’t discovered him in time.
The explosion of the torpedo in

TaE CoUNTY SCHOOL DIRECTORS’ RES- |
OLUTIONS.—A{ the the school Directors’
convention last week the executive com-
mittee reported the following resolu-
tions, which were adopted : 1.—That
we urge upon the Legislature at its |
coming session, the passage of a law
anthorizing the several school districts
to pay the actual expenses of the several
directors from each district in attending
the annual and tri-ennial conventions
of directors. The annual convention be-
ing held for the sole purpose of devis-
ing and discussing measures for the ad-
vancement and promotion of public
school work, and the tri-ennial conven-
tion for the purpose of electing a county
superintendent of public schools, it is
but just and wise that at least the ex-
penses of the directors while engaged in
such work should be paid by the respec-
tive school districts.
2. That the directors of Centre coun-
ty, in convention assembled, do hereby
request the representatives in the Legis-
lature from the county, and the Senator
from the senatorial district, at the ses-
sion of the Legislature to be held in 1891
to do whatever in the discharge of their
duties they can, to support and bring
about the passage of such a law,
8. That it would be a great help to
the directors, and result in building bet-
ter lighted, heated and ventilated school
houses, if the department of public in-
struction should have preparedjand pub-
lished, at the expense of the. State, for
the use of school boards, a work on, as
well as containing plans and specifica-
tions for, the proper construction, heat-
ing, lighting and ventilating of rural
school houses. For the advancement of
this purpose and for the health and hap-
piness of the pupils in our schools, we
would pressupon the department the
great need of such a work.
4. We would again call the atten-
tion of the directors to the fact thata
more abundant supply of apparatus and
help in outline maps, tables, measures,
dictionaries and books of reference will
be of great advantage to both the teach-
ers and the pupils, and do much,indeed,
to advance and promote the efficiency of
the schools of the county.
5. That in view of the fact that
teachers are, under the law, paid for the
attendance upon the session of the coun-
ty institute, the directors emphatically
condemn the practice of those teachers
who answer “present’” at roll call and
then leave the institute and spend ther
time running about the town. We insist
that it is their duty to be present at the
sessions of the institute, and if they are
not, the County Superintendent should
not certify to their presence, and the di-
rectors should not pay for their time.
6. That the Directors’ Association of
Centre county make overtures to the
Department of Public instruetion to
prepare and issue to school directors
proper books for making the records of
the adv@incement of individual pupils
through the proper graded course of
studies adopted for ungraded schools, or
adapt the present series of teachers’ re-
port books to such purpose.
7. We would renew the suggestion
made in our last annual report that the
several boards of Directors in Centre
county subscribe at the expense of the
district for a copy of the Pennsylvania
School Journal for each member of the
board.
