As a relic of his administration
Governor Beaver Monday had transter-

venirs.
It is stated that negotiations are
pending between the Y. M. C. A. offi-
ciuls and the W. C. T. U. relative to
the transfer of the rooms, library, gym-
nasium and all the belongings of the
former organization to the Women’s

tion that they pay off the indebtedness
of the former. The ladies are undecided
what to do.

first started in as a railroad man. The
conductor's even temper and general
amiability of disposition has kept him

old. Mr. Haupt is just now in the prime
of life and a gentleman the name of
whose friends is legion.”
~——Speaking of Governor Beaver’s
retirement from office, which occurred
on Tuesday, the Pittsburg Dispatch
said : Governor Beaver will probably
return to the practice of law. He will,
however, take a good rest first. It is not
definitely settled whether he will con-
tinue to reside in Bellefonte or remove
to Philadelphia, where itis said he has
excellent opportunities offered him for
lucrative legal business. There are still
some rumors of General Beaver’s politi-
cal promotion at Washington by the
national administration, but these are
not well confirmed.

of tke discipline to whieh an impudent
and fraudulent tramp was subjected at
Philipsburg is taken {rom last Salur-
day’s Ledger of that place:
who wus imposing on the sympathies of
the public by working the one-armed
racket (by buttoning his vest and coat
over his right arm), was hauled up short
by officer Funk on Tuesday evening
and locked up. Next day he behaved
impudently at his hearing before Bur-
gess Warfel, who directed that a ball
and chain be fastened to his leg, and he
be put to work on the streets. He was
an ill-tempered rascal and tried to break
a plate glass window in George’s drug
store, by throwing his shovel at it, but
luckily the shovel fell short of the mark.
A couple of days with a ball and chain
on him took the fight out of him, and
he begaed pitiously to be allowed to go,
promising vehemently that he would
never infliet himself on the town again.
On Friday morning Burgess Warfel
gave him a fierce “talking to” and di-
rected officer Funk to escort him to the
southern boundary of the town and
‘headed him toward Tyrone which the
officer did, and accelerated his departure
by a well administered kick in the rear,
and the chevalier of industry shafiled
off up the railroad at a dog trot gait,
which, if sustained, would land him in
Tyrone by noon.
MATRIMONIAL. — The residence of
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Charles, No. 412,
8th Avenue, Altoona, was the scene of
a pretty and stylish wedding at
clock on Thuar:day evening, Jan. 15th,
the occasion of the marriage of their
beautiful and accom plished daughter,
7.0
Philipsburg, Centre county, Pa. The
bride wore a beautiful gown of rich
cream satin and grenadine, and carried
in herhand a huge bouquet of long
stemmed roses. Her only ornaments
were a tastety necklace and a diamond
ring. The ceremony was performed by
the Rav. R. H. Colburn, pastor of the
5th Avenue 3. BE. Church, of Altoona,
in presence of a large company of invit-
ed guests from Philipsburg, Tyrone, Al-
toona, and other places.
The bride was the recipient of many
viluable presents. The groom is an ex-
cellent young man, of fine personal ap-
| pearance and has shown good judgment
i in his choice of a companion.
An elaborate supper, amid a pro-
[fusion of flowers and smilax as table
decorations, was served immediately af-
| ter the congratulations were over, at the
conclusion of which Mr. and Mrs.Jones,
followed by the best wishes of the their
many friends, left on a late train for an
extended trip to eastern cities.

KiLLep A DEER OUT oF SEASON. —
Lawrence Ritchie and Cecil Hubbard,
of Ritchie, two respectable young men,
were arrested on Tuesday by Constable
Ira C. Hall, of Renovo, for killing a
deer out of season on the 26th of De-
cember while out hunting a bear along
the river at or near Ritchie. The war-
rant was sworn out by Knos Moyer,
game and fish warden. The young men
state that when the deer came running
toward them their excitement was so
great that they forgot all about the
gawe law and both fired at the same
time, laying the unfortunate creature
dead at their feet. Before Squire Cole-
stock the parties furnished bonds in $100
each for their appearance ata hearing

A DarrNe THouGH UNSUCCESSFUL
RoBBERY.—On Friday night January
16th, an attempt to “crack” the safe of
Sechler and Co., grocers, in the Bush
House block, was made. The thieves
entered the store from the rear by bor-
ing out one of the lower panels, thus
making a nice hole through which the
store could be entered without trouble.
Ounce in they took the bar off and unlock-
ed it, making ready for a quick flight.
The large safe of thestore sits in the
little office just inside the front windows
and 'twas there the cracksmen went to
work, for nothing else was disturbed.
A hole was started in the steel door just
beside the lock, but it was abandoned, we
suppose, on account of its hardness to
drill.
and a charge put in there. This re-
sulted only in securely setting the Jock
bolts and shehtly springing the steel door
covering. Frank White, the watchman
at the Bush House, heard the shot and
went down and tried Sechler’s front
door Finding it locked all right he turn-
{ed away. Itis thought, however, that
| his presence frightened the burglars
away, for they left all their tools scat-
| tered about the safe. The job was evi-
| dently done by persons unskilled in
| burglary, as every evidence seems to in-
dicate, but the audacity of burglars who
would attempt to blow a safe in so pub-
i lica place is very much wonderad at.
| The safe sits within fifteen feet of the
| plate glass front upon which thereis no
! screen. There were persons sleeping on
the first floor of the Bush House imme-
| diately aboveit. Nextdoora drag clerk
was sleeping in the store and a watchman
| was in the building, while facing the rear
door through which they entered is the
"room of the night boy in Larimer’s
livery stable. The attempt was made
between twelve and one o'clock and
there were quite a number of people on
the streets. Everything used by the
robbers but the stecl drills was taken
from the carriage shop of McQuistion
& Co, on Thomas street. One hundred
dollars would have been the reward had
the safe been opened.

OxEe BrELOVED.—On the swift winged
messenger of Death the light of another
life has been spirited away to that pale
realm where its awakening shall be in the
glowing dawn of an eternal day. Life
hath its sorrows and sadness but, the
sweet and peaceful sleep of rest is the
reward of those who have crossed its fit-
ful stream. Leaves have their time to
fall, and flowers to wither at the North-
wind’s breath, and stars to set ;—-but
still, thou art resting, sleeping yet.
God's finger touched her and she
slept.
The death of Mrs. Cornie Garman
which occured at their hotel, in this
place, on Saturday evening, Jan. 17th
was one of those sad events which herald
alife of mourning for bereaved loved
ones. She had been ill for about two
weeks, but it was not thought to be ser-
ious until it was too late. Then all in
buman power was done to save her life
but without avail. On Friday she began
to sink rapidly and her suffering was
intense. All day she was conscious and
even to the time of her death. Before
the last moment came she had had cal-
led to her bedside all her relatives, resid-
ing here, and confided to them the last
wishes of a dying mother and wife.
Saddest of all was when her pretty golden
haired babies were bade farewell. Little
darlings, motherless, but with a loving
father who will guide their inhocent
foot-steps.
Mrs. Garman was thas youngest
daughter of the late James and Margaret
Crotty, of this place. Four sisters and
two brothers survive her, among the
former are Mrs. Robt Gilmore, Mrs.
Bellefonte, and Mrs. Stinkirchner,
Newton Kansas. She was just thirty
years old and was married to Mr. Garman
about six years ago.

HAMILTON. —WADDLE.—On the 19th of
January,1841, at the residence ot Thos. Wad- |
dle, now Roush property at Axe Mann, the
bride’s home,by Rev. Jas. Linn, of Bellefonte,
Mr.James Hamilton to Miss;Hannah Waddle,
all of Contre county.
This happy occurrence was solemn-
ized in the presence of a large party of
relatives and friends, many of whom
are now members of the innumerable
host beyond. These two have been per-
mitted to almost see the dissolution of
their generation, with another pressing
close in their footsteps, while still a third
is claiming right-of-way in the endeavor
to crowd those of former generati ‘ns off
the sphere of action. During all these
changes Mr. and Mrs. II. have enjoyed
Lealth and prosperity, and may yet live |
to see their offspring ¢f the fourth gen-
eration.
HAMILTON. —~HAMILTON. — On the 19th
inst, at their residence on Willow Bank
street, Bellefonte, Pa., by Rev. W. Houck, as-
sisted by Revs. Laurie and Koontz, Mr.
James Hamilton and Mrs, Hannah Hamil
ton.
The ceremonies of the golden wedding
were fixed for five p. m. to accord with
those of fifty years ago, but it was deem-
ed expedient that the guests should be
called at 2 p. m. to the feast, which had
been prepared by this estimable lady,
composed of all the substantials and
delicacies that a well equipped epicu-
rian with unsparing labor, time and
taste couid provide for such an occasion.
After partaking of the viands so
bounteously provided, the afternoon
was spent in social communion, Mr,
and Mrs. Hamilton being the centers of
attraction, entertaining the party by re-
lating incidents of early days in Centre
county. The hour of five having ar-
rived Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton renewed
the mutual vows nade many long years
Rev. Mr. Houck in a few well
timed remarks in behalf of the donors
presented Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton with
the tokens they had brought them, he
closed his remarks with tbe following
appropriate poem :
since.
How wondrous are the changes, Jim, since
fifty years ago,
When girls wore woolen dresses, Jim, and boys
wore pants of tow;
When shoes were made of calfskin, and socks
of homespun wool,
And children did a half day’s work bafore the
hour of school.
The girls took music lessons, Jim, upon the
spinning wheel,
And practiced late and early, Jim, on spindle,
swift and reel;
The boys would ride bare-backed to mill, a
dozen miles or so,
And harry otf before “twas day,some fifty years
ago.
The people rode to meeting, Jim, iu sleds in-
stead of sicighs,
And wagons rode as easy, Jim, as buggies now-
adays;
And oxen answered well for teams, though
now they’d be too slow—
The people lived not half so fast some fifty
years ago.
Yes, everything is different, Jim, from what it
used to be, :
For menare always tamp'ring with God’s great
laws, you see; :
But what on earth we're coding to, does any-
body know ?
[Por everything is changed so much, sinee fifty
years ago,
Rev. Mr. Laurie responded in
behalf of Mr. snd Mrs. Hamilton in a
neat and appropriate response, closing
this ceremony with the following:
Tis fifty years ago to-day *
You twain in marriage were made one,
And o’er the sea of married life
Your happy voyage was begun.
The sea was calm and smooth and bright
As on a tranquil summer day ;
With breezes fair and cloudless sky
Your marriage boat was launched away.
Your eratt was well equipped and manned,
Your cargo mostly made of love,
Your compass was the Word of God,
Your reckoning was with Him above,
When winds were fair and ocean smooth,
You sailed amidst prosperity ;
But storms of wind ur troubled tide
Would sometimes bring adversity.
When tempests lashed the troubled sea
And heaven was dark with eclonds above,
Upon the surging snow-capped waves
You poured the soothing oil of love.
For half a century your boat
Has stood the test of storm and gale,
Yet onward in the voyage of life
As heretofore you safely sail.
In looking back o'er all these years
The hand of God you clearly trace;
And thank him for his constant care,
And praise him for redeeming grace.
May he still guide you in your course
Until the storms of life are o’er,
And you shall east your anchor safe
Upon the grand eternal shore,
There were present at this happy re-
union Mr. P. B. Waddle, now in his
82nd year, Mr. Thomas Waddle, now
in his 72 year, Mrs. Mary Griffith, now
in her 76th year, Mrs. Sarah Williams,
now in hr 64th year, brothers and sis-
ters of the bride, and Mrs. Jos. Miles,

ding. All who witnessed this as well as

the attention, of the purchasing public,
to the extraodinary condition of aftairs
which exists at Power’s shoe store. Mr.
Powers has moved his stock -into the

he will only remain there three weeks.
During that time his old room will be

being done he proposes reducing his
stock of boots and shoes. To do this he
will sell off about two thousand dollars
worth of goods at an unheard of sacri-

[ stock and for no other reason, forit will
involve a great loss to him as the goods
he will offer at this REDUCING SALE are
