AN ALLEGHENY STREET BrLAzE.—
At two o'clock Wednesday morning
the sleeping populace of Bellefonte was
awakened by the cry of “fire !”’ but it
seemed ages before the paople got out,
and the flames were bursting from the
roof of the three story brick building,
on Allegheny street, occupied by Kep-
linger & Co.’s drug store and the pho-
tograph gallery and residence of John
Moore, before a stream of water was
turned on. The Undine Hose Company
was first on the ground and quickly
run a line up over thejroof of Ceaders’
bakery and played on tho flames from
that side. They were followed in a
couple of minutes by the Logan Steam-
er and the Cornet Hook and Ladder
Co., and in just six minutes after leav-
ing its house the ‘Logan’ had three
streams through 1}, 1 and § inch noz-
zles on the burning building and they
were throwing water at the rate of 500
gallons per minute. ~~ °
The rear of the third floor was fitted
up for photographic purposes and was
built of wood. This burned like tinder
and great flames leaped out in every di-
rection. The efforts of the firemen were
concentrated, for the time being, upon
this part of the building, and it was not
long until the flames were gotten under
control, though a man on the roof of
McKee’s hardware made the discovery
that the fire had eaten its way in: be-
tween the double root on that building
and was bursting through in many
places. The axemen were on hand and
a number of holes were made into which
streams were turned and soon every vest-
ige of fire was out in that part. Then
all that remained to be done was to out-
en the flickering flames, and in doing
this the buildings were completely del-
uged. Property that was not injured
at all by the fire was ruined with water,
McKee’s hardware suffered entirely
from water, and all the bright goods,
cutlery, etc., will be rusted until it is of
no value. The stock is fully insured.
Keplinger & Co., are the heaviest los-
ers, but it is covered by insurance. Mr,
Moore’s household goods and gallery ef-
fects are a complete loss and he held an
insurance of two thousand dollars on the
whole.
The building in which the fire origin-
ated is owned by Mrs. Jno. B. Linn,
whose loss will be about three thousand
dollars. The McKee building is own-
ed by Mrs. Linn and Mrs. Mary Banch
ard. The loss on it is slight.
The fire originated in Moore’s gallery
where Mr. Moore had gone to hunt
some medicine which he had been tak-
ing, and while looking around for it his
lamp was accidentally knocked over.
He tried in vain to smother the flames
but the burning oil ran in among his
chemicals and then he kad to run for
his life and to save his family, who were
sleeping on the second floor.
The work of the firemen was excel-
lent and the good judgment they used
in handling the fire was the subject of
general comment. Though the whole
town seemed to have been in a dead
sleep at the time the first alarm was
given, when the department got there it
did telling work. The fact that the
building was sandwiched in between
two other ones whose roofs were tight
against it, made it all the harder for
them to keep adjoining property from
burning, but they did it and this will
put another feather in their caps.
The fire was altogether out by three
o'clock and then the firemen went to
their houses, where hot coffee, sand-
wiches and rolls were waiting them as
testimonials of their good work from
Mr. Jos. Ceaders.
WeppING BELLS NEAR FLEMING. —
The wedding of Miss Estella M. Hoov-
er and Irvin C. Way took place at the
home of the bride, Wednesday, May 6th.
The parlor wasihandsomely decorated
with spruce, fern and wild flowers. At
1 o'clock p. m. about seventy persons
assembled in the parlor, and Miss Alice
Smith began playing the wedding
march. Soon after the march began,
the bride and groom, accompanied by
Miss Elda N. Hoover and Mr. Chas. A.
Peters, of Towa, marched slowly to the
farther end of the room, the bride and
groom stopping under an arch of spruce
and wild flowers, where they were met,
by Rav. Bouse who performed the cere-
mony.
The bride was dressed in white wash
goods, made with plain skirt, short
sleeves, low neck filled in with lace,
which gave a very pretty effect.
Soon after the ceremony the company
was invited to dinner, where they found
the tables set with everything that
tempted the appetite. Many handsome
presents wave given, which they will
find very useful in going to housekeep-
ing. They carry with them the best
wishes from all their friends.
ASKING oR A NEW TRIAL.—The
Lock Haven Ewzpresssays that Charles
Cleary, who was a second time found
guilty of the murder of Policeman
Paul, of Renovo, Saturday made formal
application through his counsel, Messrs.
Kress and McCormick, for arrest of
judgment and a new trial. Leave was
granted by the court to the defendent to
file the motion, and three weeks time al-
lowed to file the reasons.
Hiren for the 4th !
KELLER-ORVIS.-The ceremony which
united in mariage Miss Annie Orvis
and Mr. Harry Keller, was performed
at the bride's home, on East Linn street,
on Tuesday evening, May 7th, at 6
o'clock.
Promptly at the stated time Miss
Ohnmacht’s march,by Mendelssohn, was
heard and the wedding party entered
the large parlor, in a corner of which
an altar of flowers had been built. Rev.
Miles O. Noll, of the Reformed church,
officiated. The ushers were Messrs.
Ivan Goethe and A. Wilson Norris, of
Harrisburg, and H. C. Quigley and W.
S. Furst, of Bellefonte. The bridesmaids
were Misses Sara Harvey, of Lock
Haven, a cousin of the bride ; Rebecca
Lyon; Martha Keller, a sister of the
groom, and Caroline Orvis, sister of the
bride, all of Bellefonte. Then came the
bride, leaning on the arm of her father,
dressed in a handsome gown of white
Bengaline, en train, with duchess lace
and veil. Her ornaments were a dia-
mond pendant and a diamond hair pin,
a present from the groom. Orange
blossoms were worn and she carried a
bouquet of roses. They were met at
tie altar by the groom and his brother
Will who acted as best man, The cere-
mony was performed with a ring and
then the happy pair held a reception
which for brilliancy and elegance was a
marvel. The costumes worn by some
of the guestswere exceptionally striking,
and such an assemblage of preity women
is seldom seen.
The ushers wore neat gold pins, pre-
sents from the groom, and the bride fa-
vored her maids with rosalinds in har-
mony with the pink trimmings of their
white silk mull gowns.
The groom is the oldest son of Col.
D. S. Keller, one of the leading attor-
neys of this place,and is a young man of
exceptional mental qualities. He was
in the first graduating class from the
Bellefonte High School, in ’84, and in
the following year he was the succesful
competitor in the entrance examination
for West Point, but being too young to
enter the Academy he spent his time in
teaching and advanced study for the
law. Prominently identified with the
N. G. P., Sergeant Major of the 2nd
Brigade, under Beaver’s generalship, he
was continued in military service as
assistant clerk in Adj. Gen. Hasting’s
office at Harrisburg. Since January he
has continued his law study with his
father,and several weeks ago was admit-
ted to the bar. His bride is the second
daughter of ex-judge Jno. H. Orvis, and
isa young woman of culture and in-
telligence.
A great many guests from a distance
were present.
AN AIR LINE THRouGH CENTRE
'County.—The New York and Chicago
air line railroad, which has been talked
of for a year or more in this section, is
now being located through Sugar Val-
ley. The Centre Hall Reporter says
the new line leaves the Lehigh Valley
road at Mauch Chunk, and strikes
Bloomsburg, thence down the river to
Lewisburg.
The corps of engineers started at Lew-
isburg and entered the mountains north
of the Brushvalley narrows, and came
out at a point near Stover’s, in the east
end of Miles township. From thence
they struck across to Sugar Valley,
close to Tylersville, and will aim for
Washington Furnace, thence for Mill
Hall and on to the mouth of Beech
Creek, Clearfield and Punxsutawney ;
thence west, going north of Pittsburg
to reach Chicago—making an air line
between New York and Chicago, re-
gardless of towns between these two
great cities.
This new trunk line will be 240 miles
shorter than any other line between
New York and Chicago, and will use
the Lehigh Valley road from New York
to Mauch Chunk, with several links
west already in operation, to fill up the
line, in addition to the new sections to
be built from Mauch Chunk to the
Ohio line.
North of Mifflinburg Nitiany moun-
tain will be tunneled. ;
A trunk line like this, 240 miles
shorter to Chicago than any other route,
will bea lively competitor to the other
trank lines west. The company intends
to have this air line completed in time
for the Columbian exposition in Chicago
in 1893.

tress having assured her that she was
with friend® who would protect her she
told the following sad story :
She said her name was Laura Virginia
Davis and that she had been stolen
from her home near Harrisburg. The
gypsies made her appear as their child
and by constant beating and threats of
horrible punishment that would be in-
flicted, she was frightened into not re-
vealing herself to any one. Half naked,
with her little bare feet cut and bruised
by jagged stones she was compelled to
beg and steal for the miserable wretches
who claimed her as daughter. And the
poor little thing’s story was full of her
sadness and the cruelties of her gypsy
life.
The chief of police was notified, and
having taken charge of the child, he
telegraphed the authorities at Harris-
burg, but received no answer. The
editor of the Patriot was then telegraph-
ed toand after an investigation he answ-
ered that the facts were substantiated
and they should hold the child.
Standing isolated along the tow-path
of the Pennsylvania Canal, about three
miles from Harrisburg, is a dilapidated,
weather-beaten, two story frame struc-
ture, occupied by Albert Dougherty,
his pretty young wife and half dead
babe, along with two other families.
Dougherty is about fifty years old and
occasionally works with his neighbors |
at Long's brick yards, near Harrisburg.
Until about three years ago this rick-
ety house was the home of an old blind
man named Davis; who for many years
earned a livlihood by playing a worn
