He threw out a skermish line and drill- ed in various manners, Some of our people, when they heard the bugles and drums, thought that the company bad been ordered to the coke regions. The fires that have been raging on the mountains throughout Centre + county for the past week have been un- usually destructive to timber. Along Ushe' iine of the Lewisburg road two large saw mills have been completely wiped out, along with many miles of tram road and logs ready for the mill, One of them was owned by P. B. Crider & Son, of thisplace. Gotlieb Haag had the largest backing in his application for license for the Cummings House that was ever pre- sented to the consideration of a court in this county. His petitions were signed by 1236 names, mostly solid and sub- | stantial residents of the country districts, who understand the necessity for a pub- lic house in Bellefonte where they can ‘be accommodated. They will take the refusal of Mr, Haag’s license not only as a wrong to that gentleman, but as an injury and offense to themselves, A Braz oN LaMB STREET.—About ten o'clock on Monday night the fire alarm sounded for the north ward and upon following the crowd we were led to No. 204 East Lamb street, wher fire had already broken through the roof of a two story frame dwelling owned by General Beaver. The house was unoc- cupied, and as the fire broke out in the upper story there is very little doubt as to its being of incendiary origin. The effective work of the new steamer was very nicely displayed and in fact had it nct been there much other pro- perty might have been destroyed. The force of water from the plugs was barely strong encugh to throw a stream up to the'porch roof, and from the moment the engine streams got into play,though the men were a little slow in getting up stream, effective service was noticeable. It was attached to the plug in front of Gen, Hastings house and forced the water clear up the hill. So strong was its pressure that the hose burst in three places, thus delaying the work several minutes, but after its streams were turned on the burning building it was not long until the flames began to dieout. The house was totally destroy- ed, and we believe altogether covered by insurance, though the claim will not be paid because the place had been un- occupied for twenty-two days longer than the limit allowed by the insurance companies, TaEY PURCHASE A NEW Pump.— On Thursday evening last the council, in special meeting, decided to buy a new pump for the wator works, the finance committee having reported fav- orably to its purchase. But two bids were received, those of Chas. F. Hoag- land, for the Rose pump, and of Mr. Faley for the Northington, the former being $2,325, the latter $2,000 for the same size and style of pump. Council was unanimous in accepting Mr. Faley’s bid, and the Northington pump will be purchased and put to work by the first of June. The parts are as follows : Weight 7 tons; high pressure cylin- ders, 14 inches in diameter ; 2 low pres- sure cylinders, 20 inches in diameter ; 2 double-acting water plungers, 12 in dia- meter, all having a 15 inch stroke, With a 75 pound steam pressure this pump will be capable of delivering 1,500,000 gallons of water every 24 hours. The new pump will be placed inanew building just below the old pump house, where suitable connections will be made. 11s Honor NARROWLY EscApus.— On Saturday morning last, while presi- dent Judge A. O. Furst was giving di- rections to the carpenters who were re- pairing the large barn, on the old town, he narrowly escaped an injury which might have proved fatal. The wind was blowing quite strong at the time and a heavy fifteen foot ladder, which had been placed against one of the barn doors, fell back over the end of the barn bridge as the door blew open. The judge was standing down at the end of the bridge and had barely time to | lean back, allowing the falling ladder to strike his arm. If he had not received warning just when he did the ladder weuld have fallen on his head with a probable fatal result, K~xockep Him DowNx For His Moxey.—Edward Shank was bookeep- er on the Michaels drive until it reached Mahaffey, when he resigned. But Shank, it seems, wanted to make money easier and quicker than poring over long lists of names and ledger accounts, and according to this notion went for one of the bosses, D. W. Michaels, Tuesday of last week. He and Mich- aels started down town to go to the ark and while passing through the covered bridge at Mahaffey Shank handed Michaels a cigar, which the latter pro- ceeded to light, and while doing so Shank dealt him a blow on the head that felled him to the floor, cutting a deep gash, Shank knew that Mich- aels had several hundred dollars on his person, part of which was found missing afterward. A warrant was issued for Shank, who skipped out on a double quick —Curwensvitle Review of last week, Dox't BE AsHAMED To HAVE PEoPLE Kyxow You ARE A WRITER.—Mr. Schofield desires us to state through the columns of the WarcHMAN that he will not take notice of any communica- tions that appear in the Gazette unless signed by the writer's name. Deeming, as he does, the editor of that paper to be a perfectly irresponsible person, he cannot take cognizance of letters writ- ten by democrats or republicans unless such persons possess the manhood to give their names to the public as the writers thereof. It seems absurd to us to think that a citizen of Bellefonte should make charges against one of our borough officers and not have the courage to give his name for the substantiation of facts. If the charges are right, then he would be doing his town a great service Weaver place, about four miles below | ——Gold wall paper, 10c a bolt at Williams. ——*4One of the Finest,” at the Opera House on Tuesday night, May 5th. ——Help the Y.

But they were princi- pally farmers, and it is possible that a hotel that accommodates only farmers isn’t worthy the favor of a license. It took ever since March for the great ju- dicial mind that governs such things in this county, to determine that hotels which accommodate drummers and oth- er floating travel are alone entitled to such favors. LurneraN Sy~op To MEegr.-~The annual conference of the Lutheran Synod of Central Pennsylvania will meet in the Luthern church at Salona, on Tuesday, May 12th, and continue in session until the 14th. There are from fifteen to eighteen Lutheran minis- ters and as many lay delegates expected to attend. ONE MAN PowEeR.—In refusing Mr. Haag’s license Judge Furst stepped one step into the dark as far as the adminis- tration of justice goes in our county. By arbitrarily refusing an application in which all the requirements of the law were present, and the necessity of the place shown beyond that of any hotel in the history of our county, that golden rule, ‘equal and exact justice to all,”’has been set aside with monarchical power. HoNorR To A BELLEFONTER.—Law- rence Li. Brown, who has now large coal mining interests in the Broad Top Re- gion, has recently been tendered a posi- tion as speciol agent of the Interior Dept, The office coming to Mr. Brown, as it does, unsolicited on his partis an especial honor and we understand he has deeid- ed to accept it temporarily. The imme- diate duties of the office will. we believe, cause him to visit the leading blast fur- naces and rolling mills of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Alabama. His family expects to spend the summer in Bellefonte. He enters upon the duties if he should come out openiy and | stand in readiness to prove them. If | not,one can easily discern the motives of cowardice which prompted him to sign’ ing the past two or threee weeks visiting | fictitiously. of the office at once, but is now detained in Philipsburg by the dangerous illness of Mrs. Brown who has been there dur- Mrs. W. P. Duncan. A Sap AFFAIR. -- On April 23, a Miss Bertha Everett, whose parents reside in Philipsburg, left that place intending to go to Haverhill, Mass., to visit friends. trunk checked from Tyrone to Boston, and left the same day on Atlantic Ex- press. Yesterday a message from Phil- ipsburg requested the Tyrone authorities to have the trunk ordered back to Phil- ipsburg, as the young lady had been found dead in bed at Boston. When sne leftshe was the very picture of health and seemed to look forward with a great deal of pleasure to the trip. A dispatch from Boston states that she was suffocated by gas in aroom in the Parker House in that city. Itis be- lieved that she blew it out upon retiring for the night. : Back ALREADY.-—About the first of April Mr. A. Sternburg, with his wife and little son Walter, left Bellefonte to join the part of his family which had preceded him to Seattle, Washington, where a house had been prepared for the parents comiag. On Tuesday night the same party passed through Tyrone on their way to Allentown, where Mrs. Lichten, a daughter, resides. Mrs. Sternburg did not like the west and per- sisted in returning until Mr. S. conclud- ed to bring her back. He will stay east until fall and then he proposes go- ing back for another trial. are in receipt of Beirly’s Jubilee Choir, and dealer, of 113 Adams street, Chica- go, Ill. The publication is replete with fine selections adapted specially to choir use and contains many solos, duets,trios, quartettes, ete. of value to church choirs. Prof Beirly is an old Centre county boy who has gained a degree of prom- inence in musical circles of which he can justly feel proud and the publica- tion which he has just issued is an ex- ceedingly meritorious work. ANoTHER OF OUR INDUSTRIES CLOS- ED.—Owing to the overstocked condi- tion of the market and the consequent low prices of glass, the works at this place closed for the summer season on Friday. This is two months earlier than they usually close and will prove another blow to the business of the town. Most of the employes have al- ready sought work in other parts of the country, though it is their intention to return when the fall season is op- ened. GAYETIES.—Thursday, May 7th, the nuptials of Miss Anna Orvis ané Mr. Harry Keller will be celebrated. Friday evening, May 15th, Miss Bishop will give a dance for her pupils. Tuesday, May 19th, Wallace & Co’s big show will be here. Wednesday evening, May 20th, at 5 o'clock, a large wedding will be solem nized. Thursday evening, June 4th, the Bellefonte club will receive in elegant style. Friday evening, June 12th, Miss Bishop will give a large as- sembly for her class, and on Tuesday evening, June 30th, the farewell hop to ’91 wlll be given at State College. The above is a list of the more im- portant events which will make Bellefonte’s society people gay during the next two months. The dates given are correct, we beleive; so, girls, you can get gowns accordingly, and boys, you can take advantage of these moonless nights by chasing around to the three ball men with the little trinkets and surplus cloth- ing that you have to spare. Hold on to your ehecks, though, for after the storm will come a dry enough time and then probably you can save enough to get back the things which were dear to your hearts, THE COLLEGE ASSEMBLY.—Among the social events that take place through- out central Pennsylvania, probably there are none as elaborately con- ducted and successfully carried out as the assemblies given by the students, of State College, in their handsome armory. The one of Friday evening, April 24th, was no exception to the rule, and we can say with truthfulness that never before have we seen so much youth and beauty on a floor at one time. Stopper and Fisk’s renowned Wil- liamsport orchestra farmished music for the dancing, and their stains were sweet and harmonious enough to afford abundant entertainment for those who did not care to indulge in the gay frivolity. The evening was one con- tinuous whirl from 8 until 1 o’clock. Everything was the pink of nicety, and the committee, Messrs. McKee, Clark, Suloff,Gilkey and Hamilton, were’ show- ered with congratulations upon the suc- cess of the event. A special train from here carried parties from Lock Haven, Tyrone and Philipsburg, and a number of people from Lewistown, Reedsville and West Chester were there to dance with the Collegians. Bellefonte’s quota numbered about thirty, all of whom were delight- ed with the way in which they were re- ceived. Messrs Keckenmeister and Blackford, the new bakers at the College, catered for the assembly in a manner highly satisfactory.

The “wet” place is Charleroi, a manufacturing town in the eastern part of the county. It has been suggested phat the borough council purchase of the coun- ty commissioners the old iron fence that has lately been torn from around the court house yard, and with it enclose the big spring. ——Jersey Shore has been erlarged in extent and population by the Court annexing the Junction ! to its corporate limits, and it can now claim to be the largest borough in Lycoming county with the exception of South Williams- port. { —To-day (Friday) Governor Beav- .er will make the chief address at the | Arbor Day exercises of the Bollefente i schools, on the campus at the brick school building, at about 10 o'clock.

He was a postmas- ‘ter by an appointment received from President Jackson in 1829. He was twice elected Prothonotary and once | Sheriff’ of Northumberland county, and | he was crier of the courts at Sunbury at | the time of his death. His long life and | protracted usefulness may be attributed | to his being always in a good humor ‘and voting the Democratic ticket. ! in, —~— Great bargains in furniture at E, Brown Jr's. ——McQuistion & Co's. shops on Thomas street are full of fine buggies and carriages, which in point of price will surprise purchasers. They can sell a new buggy for $85.00 the equal of which can’t be found anywhere in the county outside their shops, and then they have higher priced rigs, but all wonderfully cheap when stock and workmanship are considered. ——Black cheviot suits, in sacks or cutaways, single or double breasted, in a dozen different qualities at the, Rochester Clothing House. ——Two mails a day, to and from State College, is one of the latest im- provements in the service at Bellefonte. The 6-15 a. m. train will hereafter carry mail from Bellefonte to Coburn and all intermediate points, while the 5-15 train will carry a direct pouch from State College to this place. This will prove a great benefit to the business men of our town, as heretofore it required two days to write a letter and get an answer from any of the points included in the above district. ——Shirts--white skirts, summer flannel, madras, sateens—in all colors and styles—just opened at the Roches- ter Clothing House. ——The Lutheran congregation, of this place, have decided to push the building of its new church structure, on the corner of Linn and Allegheny streets right through to completion. The con- tract for the brick work has been awarded to T. R. Zeigler, of Rebersburg who has given bonds to have his con- tract completed by the first of October. The building will then be roofed and left-stand until next Spring when the interior will be finished. The specifica- tions make it quite an ornament to that end of town. ——E. Brown Jr's new furniture and wall paper store, on Bishop street, is the place to purchase house furnishings. George G. Hutchison, of War- riorsmark, who holds tha responsible post of Sergeant-at-arms of the State Se- nate, met with a painful accident on Saturday afternoon while accompanying a legislative committee to Krie. He was standing near the entrance of the Pullman, car when,at Sharon, the por- ter closed the door sharply, catching two fingers of Mr. Hutchison’s right hand between the frame and the edge of the door. The two fingers were badly lac- erated, the ends being almost completely severed. A physician on board the train dressed the injured niembers, and it is hoped that no amputating operation has since become necessary. ——The finest and largest line of Foreign and Domestic woolens for suit- | ings and overcoats ever shown by us.

Hastings has decided to favor hig townspeople with the lecture which has been bringing him so much favor- able comment as a platform speaker. On next Monday evening, May 4th, he will deliver his celebrated production, “Reminiseences of Johnstown,” in Gar- man’s Opera House. The proceeds will be used to defray the debts of the Y. M.C. A. and it is hoped that a liberal patronage will greet the General and his lecture. ——Low prices, in wall paper, are the order of the day at E, Brown Jr's new store on Bishcp street. No License For THE CUMMINGS Housge.—About the first thing the court did upon its convening on Monday morning was to refuse the application of G. Haag for license for his Cummings House, on Bishop street. Considerable pressure had been brought to bear on the court, both for and against this license, and it had been held over since March term. Mr. Haag had the sup- port of an exceedingly large number of farmers, all of whom stop at his place when in town. ——Wednesday of last week P.O. Stiver of Orangyville, Illinois, formerly of Centre county, married Miss Effie Mingle, of Lock Haven, also formerly of Centre county. The new married couple will reside in Orangeville. MoNuMENTS AND TOMBSTONES, — Anybody who may want to purchase a monument or tombstone I will ask them to please give me a call before purchas- ing, as I have on hand a very large stock of finished monuments and tomb- stones in different kinds of marble and granite ; also a large stock of unfinished work that I can get out on short notice in any style of monuments and head- stones desired: By calling at my yard you can see just what you are buying, and can save at least part of the percen- tage you would have to pay by buying from an agent, in dealing with whom you don’t know what you are getting until you have it. Now, why not go where you can see just what you are getting. By calling tosee me I will convince you that this is correct, It will not cost you anything to price the work. One of my yards is on High street, and the other on Water street near the Big Spring. TI remain very respectfully 15 3. A. M. Morr. Private Sale! Wilson Rowe, who lives in tiie stone house opposite Henry Harris, No. 101, East Howard streel, will offer at private sale, from now until the 1st of June, some excellent furniture, con- sisting of the following articles: Organ, Parlor Suits, Mattress and Springs, Hall Rack, Parlor, Dining and Kitchen furni- ture, Cook Stove, for coal or wood, double and single Heating Stoves,and other house furnish- ing goods. 36 17 3t* WILSON ROWE. rr ——————— Business Notice. ——Farmers should bear in mind that the spring and fall seasons of the yearare the time to build Barbed Wire Fence ; for the reason that the wire during extreme warm weather expands very materially—the contraction of which in extreme cold weather causes it to break or snap. 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 build 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., ab lower prices than this wire has ever been. sold heretofore. Farmers will promote their interest by ex- amining the fences built of the different makes of wire and consulting McCalmoht & Co. concerning the prices of the same. 14 4 Bellefonte Grain Market.
