GLAD Tipinags. —No doubt every citi-
zen of Centre county and especially this
part of it, will hail with gladness the
news that the affairs of the defunct Cen-
tre Iron Company, have been settled in
a way that they will r sume work in a
very short time, We:k afier next the
mines will be started and then, just as
soon as they get enough stock ahead, the
furnace will be put in blast. This cer-
tainly makes a bright prospect for the
summer, especially after the unusual de-
pression of the last season. Many men
will be given employment and again the
martes of Bellefonte will be quickened
with the impetus of trade,
‘While we are rejoicing over the prospects
of a brighter futureit might not be amiss
to give a thought to the man who has
done s0 much to secure this condition of
affairs, Ever since the Centre Iron
Company became insolvent Mr, J.
Wesley Gephart has been working to
effect a settlement which would secure
to the stock holders some tangible evi-
dence of the money they had invested
and to the workmen a continuance of
employment. His efforts have not been
in vain for now all the old stock holders
have their full value of stock in the new
Valentine Iron Company and since the
working capital of the new concern has
been raised there is every evidence of a
successful resumption. Mr. Gephart de-
the new firm and when business again
looms up under the pressure of a great-
er demand then we should think of the
‘man who has done so much to promote
such an end.
The entire plant will be under the ex-
clusive management of Messrs. Daniel
Rhoades, Robert Valentine and Mr.
Gephart, each of whom’ represent an
element of the stock holders. They will
appoint such assistants as are needed,
but at no time will the direction of the
plant be given to any one who is not di-
rectly under their supervision.
The word of repairing at the Belle-
being pushed as rapidly as possible and
just as scon as the condition of the
weather warrants all the banks along the
Buffalo Run Railroad will be opened
preparatory to its going into blast.
TweNTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY. —
Gregg Post, No. 95,
anniversary of the establishment of
the G. A. R. with appropriate ser-
vices on Monday evening last. A re-
gular business meeting was held un-
til eight o’clock, at which time the doors
were thrown open and the public invit-
ed to take part.
Comrade Geo. F. Harris presided, and
after a short prayer by Rev. Eminhizer,
of the U. B. church, comrade R. C.
Irvin was announced. He read the his-
tory of the post from the time of its in-
caption, and by dint of giving away
some post jokes, made it quite interest-
ing indeed. The historian was interrupt-
ed by the reading of the general order
which was read ut a given time in every
post room 1n the United States.
A male quartette composed of Messrs.
Keplinger, Lukenbach, Brandon and
Voris sang several sweet selections, after
which John G. Love, E:q., was intro-
duced and made the address in his usual
able and eloquent manner. Mr. Voris
brought down the house with his laugh-
ing,and W. I. Swoope talked in his
usual happy vein. Speeches were also
made by Col. Keller and comrade D. F.
Fortney.
The evening will long be bright in
the minds of the old veterans, for their
post has never known anything but
prosperity, and they are proud of it.
A THRILLING ADVENTURE WITH A
BEAR.—A man named Spangler, resid-
ing along Pine Creek, Lycoming coun-
ty, had a thrilling adventure with a
bear during the recent severe snow
storm. He started to walk down the
track from Ansonia to the shanty of a
man living in the gorge about four miles
below. He had gotten into the wildest
part of the gorge when a very large
bear slid down the side of the mountain
and confronted him on the railroad
track. He had nothing but a large
hunting knife to defend himself. The
bear, which was ravenously hungry, at-
tacked him, and a lively tussel ensued.
Spangler struck right and left, and in-
flicted several severe wounds on the bear,
which had the effect of greatly enraging
it. At last it made a dash for him with
open mouth, and as he held the knife
upright in his hand, he thrust it into the
mouth of the beast, which closed his
jaws upon it. He dare not withdraw
his hand, and the knife was fast in the
roof of the mouth of the beast. It
struggled fearfully, but he held on,
while the blood spurted in a stream over
his arm and into his face. He evident-
ly had severed an artery, for in a fow
minutes the bear rolled over dead. Just
{at that moment a train came up and
took Spangler aboard. He looked very
much like a pig sticker in a Chicago
slaughter house, but having killed the
| bear, he was the hero of the hour.

MEMORIAL SERMON. — The Lock
Haven Democrat of Monday says : The
memorial sermon preached in the M. E.
church at Mill Hall yesterday by Rev.
John J. Pearce, asa tribute to the late
Rev. Daniel Hartman, who recently
died at West Chester in his 81g year,
was a very appropriate one and the
church was crowded by an eager and
interested audience, all or nearly all of
whom knew or at Jeast had seen the
good old preacher. The services were
opened with singing by the choir, after
which the scripture lesson was read and
prayer offered by Rev. S. W. Pomeroy,
of the Presbyterian church. The ser-
mon was then delivered by Rev. J. J.
Pearce from the text found in the 54th
verse of the 116th Psalm: “Thy
statutes have been my songs in the

Williams. | ER REcorD.—Joseph Houser, of Lock
{ Haven, has kept a record of the storms
{ from the firs of last December to the
first of April, 1891, and reports as fol-
lows :
December had one day rain storm and
10 days of snow storms ; fall of snow
during month 48 inches. January had
5 days rain storms and 5 days of snow
storms ; fall of snow during month 11
inches. February had 8 days rain storms
and 5 days of snow storms ; fall of snow
during month 14 inches, March had 11
days rain storms and three days of snow
storms ; fall of snow during month 25
inches. Total 8feet and 2 inches of
snow. The highest temperature record-
ed was on the 17th anc 18th of February
at the time of the late flood, when the
mercury registered 71 degrees ; the low-
est was one degree below zero, on De-
cember 20th and on March 1st and 2d.
——A wedding ceremony was cele-
brated in the Catholic church on Tues-
day morning at eight o’clock. It was
the marriage of Miss. Mary Doll, of
Roopsburg, to Mr. Alfred Beezer, of
Altoona.
——The Renove News now boasts
of the possession of a fine new Hoe press.
It will probably be better than ever in ap-
pearance, but we doubt if the new press
will make the News look any nicer than
it already does, for it is a clear, well
printed journal,
——The awful propensity of Philips-
burg girls for hanging on is well illus-
trated in a wedding which took place in
that town one day recently. The bride's
fellow had the grippe and she got so briefly sketched the life and character
of the veteran soldier of the Cross,
whose whole life had been devoted to the
service of God and who could most ap-
propriately say of the statutes of the
Lord, which had been his delight to
obey, they have been my “songs,” so
familiar and pleasant were they to him.
Mr. Pearce spoke of the old preacher’s
last words which were “Sunshine, Sun-
shine.” His last sermon was preached
in the church at Salona, May 18, 1890.
Mr. Pearce’s sermon was much appre-
ciated and was heard with profound at-
tention. The audience seemed to feel
the full impressiveness of the occasion.
Rev. L. G. Heck made afew remarks
befitting the purpose for which the
meeting had been announced, after
which the exercises were brought to a
close in the usual way, all feeling that
the memory of the good old man had
been fitly commemorated by a people
among whom he had so long resided.

employes at Wigton’s “Troy Mines’
held a meeting on Wednesday to take
action for the relief of the family of
Thomas Adgar, a fellow employe who
was killed recently by a fall of coal at
Troy Mine. The sum of $285 was
raised and paid to Mrs. Adgar, who was
overcome with emotion by the unlooked
for but much needed assistance. A debt of
$110 which Adgar owed on his property
was paid off, as well as $30 funeral ex-
penses, leaving $145 of a surplus, which
will be a defense against immediate ne-
cessity, The Recording Angel will
make a credit mark to the account of each
of the kind-hearted wage-earners who
contributed to this beautiful act of chari-
ty. “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
the least of these, my brethren, ye have
done it unto Me.”— Philipsburg Jour-

——Miss Marie Bishop, the dancing
teacher from Williamsport, met her class
for the first time on Friday evening
last. She had plenty of boys, but not a
single girl was to be seen. The class
will dance in Bush’s Hall every Friday
evening.
——A few days ago while Dr. Jacobs,
of Centre Hall, was alighting from his
buggy, his foot slipped from the step and
he fell forward out of the vehicle. The
horse frightened and sprang forward,
the rear wheel striking the doctor on the
side, breaking several ribs and otherwise
badly bruising him.
——We regret to learn that Miss
Hilda Baum, the agreeable daughter of
Mr. Abraham Baum, of this place, who
has been visiting in Evansviile, Indi-
ana, for the past four months, has {con-
cluded that she likes that place so well
that she will remain there indefinitely.
Her friends here will miss her.

ed that this meeting will materially
benefit the home assceiation as it is in
an extremely shaky condition.
——Quite a little excitement was raised
about noon on Wednesday at the crossing
at the passenger station. It was caused
by a little girl being knocked down by
the wheels of one of Edward K. Rhoades’
coal wagons. It looked very much at
first as though the wheels had gone over
the little one, but she was worse scared
than hurt, If she hal fallen under the
wheels, however, she would have been
badly crushed, as the wagon had nearly
two tons of coal on it.
——1Its a matter of much satisfaction
to the people of our town to see the
work Commissioner Shaughensy has al-
ready done on the streets. At this season
when most towns of Bellefonte’s size
are plodding through mud hub deep,
dust is actually flying on our streets and
the explanation for this is found in the
fact that with the first signs of a settling
of the weather Mr. Shaughensy put on
his full force and scraped every street
in town. The result is that they are in
excellent condition and really better than
we have ever see them at this time of
are issued, This action on the part of
the Centre county newspapers has made
business profitable for Lock Haven min-
isters, as prospective brides and grooms
object seriously to having their. plans
made public in advance of the wedding,
and consequently come to Lock Haven
to obtain the license and employ a Lock
Haven minister to perform the cere-
mony.
DeaTrH oF A FORMER PROMINENT
Crrizen or CENTRE CouNty.—Wil-
liam Cooke Duncan died at Lewisburg,

Business Notice.
——Farmers should bear in mind that the
spring and fall seasons of the year are the time
to build Barbed Wire Fence ; for the reason
that the wire during extrems warm weather
expands very materially—the contraction of
which in extreme cold weather causes it to
break orsnap. If the fence shall have been
built in extreme cold weather the wire will ex-
pand and sag during the warmer seasons;
therefore, the best time to buiid a wire fence
isin moderate, cool weather. The wire fence
recently built on the line of the Bald Eagle
Valiey Railroad demonstrates that the link
barbed wire made of steel is the best wire
made for fencing purposes. The link wire is
sold by McCalmont & Co., of Bellefonte, Pa., at
lower prices than this wirc has ever been’ sold
heretofore.
Farmers will promote their interest by ex-
amining the fences built of the different
makes of wire and consulting McCalmont. &
Co. concerning the prices of the same.
