Rp an ST TE SE 2 LS RR IO A | AN Errort To REVIVE THE CoUNTY | Farrs.—There was a meeting last Fri- | day evening at the Brockerhoff House | of a number of prominent citizens of our town which had for its object the establishment of an o:ganization for the purpose of restoring tie old time agri- cultural anniversary in the shape of a county fair, in connection with a track suitable for the trial of speed. Mc. John Meese was called to preside over the meeting and G. M. Bush acted as Sec- retary. It was reported that Messrs. J. M. Bunnell, John Waite, George B. Brandon, Daniel Garman and others interested in the enterprise, had looked around for a site suitable for a purpose of this kind, and it was suggested that land on the Beaver and Humes farms, just out of town, might be procured and would be suitable. The location that seemed to meet with the most favor is on the Brockerhoff farm near Roopsburg, where there is a meadow said to contain enough ground for the required track, besides enough elevated land on which the buildings to be used by exhibitors could be located. The following committees were ap- pointed : On location and price of ground: Philip Beezer, George B. Brandon, John Waite and J. M. Bun- nell ; on grading the grounds and fenc- ing the same: S. M. Buck, William Lyon and Thomas Shoemaker. It was then moved and seconded that these committees go out to see the Brockerhoft site, and take with them Clement Dale, Esq., to do the surveying. John Waite assured those present that this piece of ground could be purchased fora reason- able sum of money. It was the general opinion of those present that this would be the most suitable place. A Bie Prick wor Trour.—Consta- ble Kelly, of this city, went to Philadel- phia about two weeks ago to interview Thomas B. Hoffman in regard to some trout fishing of his in waters controlied by the Big Bear Fishing club, of this city. Thomas, not desiring to be both- ered any further with the matter, Landed over thesum of $100, the pen- alty for such an offense. The members’ of the above club express themselves to the effect that they will prosecute to the extent of the law every pecson infring- ing upon their rights. The act of June 3, 1878, under which private streams are protected, is very plain on the sub- ject. Section 21 provides as follows: “Any person trespassing on any lands for the purpose of taking fish from any private pond, stream or spring, shall be deemed guilty of trespass, and in addition to damages recoverable by law shall be liable to the awner, lessee or occupant in a penalty of $100 for every such offense.” — Williamsport Gazette § Bulletin. A Farraress HusBaxp.—A man by the name of Wilson, whose wife was formerly a Miss Weaver, and who lived in a house a few doors below the jail on Church street, skinned out he other day with all the money he had in his pocket, not making any provision for his wife whatever, although she was in a delicate condition. And he not only left her thus but took a little money she had laid aside in a bureau drawer, thus leaving her utterly destitute. The next thing of course was a constable’s sale followed by the hauling away of the furniture. Mrs. Wilson's father came and took her away yesterday and she will thus be saved from suffering the pangs of hunger, but the husband of hei’s deserves a horsewhipping, while any creditor who would thus trouble and disiress a poor woman, selling the bed from under her, as it were, is no better than he should be.—Lock Haven Democrat. CLAIMED To BE WILsoN.—District Attorney Meyer continues to gat notices of arrested persons who are alleged to look like Wilson the escaped murder of Harry Waterhouse. The latest is a man arrested in Madison, Wisconsin, and detained in jail at that place. A picture of him sent on to Mr. Meyer is said to be ga wood likeness of Wilson, and the description of him is also similar. An- other circumstance which is said to have a strong bearing is that the man in Madi- sun refused to have his picture taken and it was done against his will. But there is nothing 1n this,as most prisoners object to being photographed,they being afraid hat the pictures may be used against then. ——The Jersey Shere correspondent of the Williamsp rt Sun sent that paper the following: “Some of the trout fish- ers of this town went up to McElbattan run, at Wayne, the otherday, and found two or three parties who were robbing the stream in order to supply the Lock Haven hotels. %7hat was still worse, it took but a short time to satisfy them that trout were being killed by the hun- dred by the use of dynamite.” ——The reception given by the Belle- fonte Club last night was an affair of splendor and elegance. The handsome rooms of the club were beautifully dec- crated with palms, lilies and ever- greens, and presented a bewildering pro- fasion of lovely women. Stopper and Fiske’s from Williamsport furnished the music for the dancing. 1 A orchestra ' Unionville is proud of her new | granite and marble works. Mr. Bow- | man, the proprietor of that establish- i ment, has already doubled his business | of last season. | Captain James S. Hall, of Reno- | ve, is a candidate for the associate | judgeship in Clinton county, nomina- | tion under Democratic rules. The cap- tain is a capable and weil known man and should he succeed would fill one of | he side-chairs with ability and dignity. 1 i The ruined walls of jthe Tyrone | chia house, which was burned some time ago, fell on Thursday of last week during the storm, and a young man named Harry Sutton, who was passing, was caught by the mass of falling brick and plaster and buried. He was rescued alive, but was badly hart. His collar bone was broken and he received some bad scalp wounds. ——>Somebody has discovered that the peach trees in the northern part of the State are infested with millions of minute microbes that have attached themselves to and will certainly destroy all the leaves, and con- sequently destroy all the young fruit. Is there noend to the enemies of this delicious fruit? Having escaped the May frost, must it be destroyed by a set of dirty microbes ? —Durfhig a terrific thunderstorm on Thursday evening of last week, a gang of railroad engineers near Hunting- don took shelter under a freight train, some of the men sitting on the rails un- der the curs. They. had scarcely gained their position before fourteen of the men were shocked by lightning which passed along the rail. Oliverand Alex- ander Moore and Patric Ross were se- verly injured. The others soon revived. ——Hon. John Walls, of Lewisburg, died on Thursday of last week, in the Tniversity hospital, at Philadelphia, at the extremely old ageof 71 years. About three weeks before he had an operatiou performel for a cancer located on his face. When he was 78 years old he was afilicted with a cancer on the right arm and the arm was amputatted. He then learned to write with his left- hand. The deceased was the father-in- law of Judge Bucher, of Lewisburg ; he was an associate judge, fora while, of Union county, and served a term in the State Senate. —— Judging from statements made us by Col. Richie of Lock Haven, in a let- ter under date of June 5th, there can be but little reliance placed in the allega- tions of C. J. Chester, whose letter wes published in the WaATcaMAN of May 29th. We neither know CHESTER nor anything about the matters of which he writes, but if he has made a false statement of the treatment he received at the hands of the G. A. R. posts of Lock Haven, or of the Soldiers Home at Erie, the columns of the WATCHMAN are at the service of those who desire tu correct them. — The recent census of Johnstown, which now includes the various boroughs which were swept by the flood, shows that there hasbeen an actual in- crease of 1,258 souls, notwithstanding the loss of 1889. Moreover, the town has been substantially rebuilt, seven new churches indicating the growth of the place in buildings of all kinds. One of the conspicuous new features of the city is the hospital built as a memorial out of the surplus funds contributed for the relief of the inhabitants. Already the flood of two years ago is little more than a memory-—a very sad memory for those who lost retatives and friends in the great rush of waters, — Ez. A New Post Orricr.—-The Mill- heim Journal of the 4th inst, says: «J. H. DeLong, the ‘postmaster at the new office “Livonia,” which has lately been established at the east end of Brush Valley, writes us that he has received his supplies and that everything is in first-class working orderin the new office that they mailed 63 letters and 4 postal cards the other day, that he has sworn in George B. Stover as lan assistant and employed George W. Adams as mail carrier. The mail carrier will leave Livonia regularly every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday noon, wait at Loganton until the mail arrives from Lock Haven and Coburn and bring it here the same evening.” Ex-SexaTor PEALE oN PoLnrrics.— To a Philade!pha Inquirer interview- er ex-Senator Peale, of Lock Haven, ex- pressed himself the other day as fol- lows : “As to politics, there is little new. Of course the Democrats are one and all for Cleveland. I have not mata single member of that party who is in favor of Hill or anybody else except the ex-President. We are sure that he will go in boldly, if at all, with his belief published to all the world. As far as ambition is concerned, he has little to gain, for he has been in the White House once.” To the question whether thers was any feeling in his section favorable to run- ning Governor Pattison for Viee Presi- dent in case Cleveland is renominated, he said he had heard of no such feeling. Gyre During the past week persons been in Bellefonte attending the tax appeals. The Valentine furnace is work- ing very satisfactorily since it was started last week, turning out about eighty tons of metal a day. Governor Beaver is repairing the house belonging to him on Lamb street that was damaged by fire some months ago. WANTED.—A good horse in ex- change for carriage work, at MecQuis- tion & Co's.

For the small sum of 5300 an Ohio man offers to be a feature of the 4th of July celebration in this place. He will go up in a balloon a thousand feet and then jamp out, descending to the earth by means of a parachute. ——If you have not already visited E. Brown, Jr's new store on Bishop street you should do so at once. bargains await you. —Treasurer Gramley has been’call- ed to hisold home in Miles township twice during the past week to attend the funerals of Mr. Jacob Kephart and of Mre, Samuel Yearick, who was the aunt of Mrs. Gramley. ——McQuistion & Cg)s is the place to get fine buggies, carriages and wa- gons of every kind. Alexander McCafferty, jr, son of Alexander McCaflerty, died of cor.sumption, at his home on Lamb street, on Thursday morning. Two sisters and a brother survive him. 20, ——Mzr. and Mr, James Dumbliton and Mr. J. M. Claar, all Rush town- i ship, accompanied by Mrs. F. P. Green of this place, were welcome visitors of the Warcamax office, on Thursday evening. Rev. F. W. Leidy, pastor of the M. E. church at Pleasant Gap, this county, was married on Tuesday at Tyrone to Miss Grace Illa, youngest daughter of Mr. S. D. Barleigh, of that place. Rev. George Leidy, father of the groom, performed the ceremony, assisted by Rev’s B. B. Hamlin and R. H. Gilbert, 1 ———The entertainment, by the Cath- olic school, which wiil be given in the opera house, on Wednesday night, June 24th, promises to be a very large ly attended affair,and the fact that one hundred and seventy-five students will take part is sufficient guarantee that a good show can be expected. ——Three patients were discharged from the Miners’ hospital at Philips burg on Wednesday. They were Da- | via Lawson, who had a leg amputated; | John Byron, whose right leg was: brok- en, and Charley Stere, a young man who was badly crippled with inflama- tory rheumatism. The patients all go out with gratitude for the kind atten- tion and excellent treatment bestowed upon them. James Schofield, our leading saddler and harness dealer, will start on his trip to Ireland about the 20th inst., and he wants it stated that those who are in need of harness, flynets and other articles in his line, would do well to see him before he starts, and it might not be out of place to mention to those who owe him that his trip will require money and that payment 3 ir from them would be acceptable. At Williamsport Judge Mayer, who was holding court for Judge Metz- cer, sentenced a fellow to the penitentiary for one year for carrying a revolver on his person. The individual was consid- erably surprised, but the law forbids the carrying of concealed deadly weapons. He will know better when he comes out of prison. Judge Mayer's was a proper jndgment 1n this case, con- sidering the fact that halt the homicides come from persons having revolvers handy about their persons. —— A letter from Mr. T. Deschner, of Seattle, Washington, to Mr. John W. Moore, of this place, says there is more basis for the gold excitement at Hllens- burg, in that State, than Eastern people would believe, and that Harry Bush, well known to every Bellefonter, is located right in the midst of it. We hope for the sake of the “hunters” who are roughing it in the mountains about Ellensburg, that the reported find may the lucky boys, who have such bright Lopes of “striking it rich.” . from different parts of the county have’ Great | “pan’’ out to meet their wildest expee- | tations, and that Harry may be one of | rT EET REE | DeaTH oF AN OLD AND EXCELLENT Cri1zeN.—The people of our town were pained to hear of the unexpected death of Mr. Edward Graham, last Tuesday morning, which was caused by heart failure, Mr. Graham had been ill for some time with grip which terminat- ed fatally in the forma mentioned, He was an old, respected citizen, having come to Bellefonte from England when a young man, and, engaging here at his trade as a shoemaker, has been a resi- dent of the place ever since. For some years he had a boot and shoe store in the Brockerhofl’ Hotel building, but for sev- eral years past worked at his trade. Mr Graham was a member of the Episcopal church, and won the esteem of all by his excellent traits of character. His wife survives him, and also five daughters and two sons : Mrs. Gordoz, Mrs. Harper, Misses Mary, Sallie and Emma, and Benner and Edward Gra- ham. The funeral took place from the Episcopal church on Thursday after- noon, Rev. Mr. Davis officiating. A Monster Swixg.—A Meadville, Pa., resident is the only man who has vet come forward with an original sug- gestion worthy of note for the World's Fair in Chicago. His device, if practic- able, will be botb pleasure giving and money-making. Ha wants a mammoth swing, 500 fest high erected, to be operated by electricity. 1t will support a handsome car, which will carry fifty persons. According to the designer's calculations, the car will swing a dis- tance of 1,250 feet. At the extremity of each sweep it will lift the passengers a heighth of 460 feet, affording them a flash view of the exposition, the city, surrounding country and lake. Mid- way 1n its flight the car will travel swifter than a bird and faster than a mile a minute. 1f is to be so stupend- ous and stariling that it will be dubbed the eighth wonder of the world. ALL Towns Have Tuem.—Every growing, ambitious towp is composed ot three elemnents, Those who work patrioticaily, vigorously and intelligent- iy for its advancement; those who are in a state of apathy or indiffereace ; and those who take a curious delight in dis- couraging the etierts of others by ridi- cule, by a persistent denial that any progress ean or has been accomplished, and by boasting of every other town be- sides their own. The last class are call ed croakers, but they are really sore- thing worse, for their opposition does not arise simply from despondency, but from that unenviable spirit which will neither act itself nor sufler others to act.—Ex, : A BarN BurNep BY WHITE CAPs. —XRichard Ashman, of Three Springs, Huntingdon county, has been made the victim of an incendiary outrage. Warn- ing had been given him by “White Cape’ that his property would be burn- ed Thursday night of last week, but he paid no attention to the notice. At half past eight o’clock that evening his barn was discovered in flames, and in a short time that and all his farming im- plements and three hundred bushels of grain were destroyed. No reason can be assigned for the incendiary fire. The loss will reach $4,000, on which there is no insurance. Ax Duarense WreeL.—Probably the largest casting ever transported by the Pennsylvania railroad arrived in Johns- town last week for the Cambria Iron Company. Itisa half section of a fly wheel for the new billet mill, and weighs 90,000 pourds. The special car on which it was transported from Phil- adelphia was borrowed by the railroad company for the purpose from the Bald- win Locomotive Works, the company having no car with capacity above 80,- 000 pounds. Tae casting will be un- loaded this week and the car will be taken to Philadelphia for the other half of the wheel. . The total weight of the whee! complete is about 180,000 pounds. Ox His WAY 10 ENGLAND. —Sammy Taylor, the champion eatch-as-catch-can wrestler of Pennsylvania, whose home is at Philipsburg, Centre county, passed through the city this morning en route for New York, from which point he will. sail to Liverpool, England, and from there go to London, where he is to measure strength and science with a champion of his native country. He was accompanied by six of his friends of Centre and Clearfield counties, who, with their principal, expect to remain across the waters about six months.-— Williamsport Sun.

REE TREAT =a Tae FourtH or JuLy IN BELLE- roNTE.—The work of preparation for the great demonstration in this place on the coming Fourth of July is making encouraging progress. At the meeting of the corumitiee of arrangements held at the office of Spangler & Hawes last Friday afternoon Mr. Spangler reported that favorable progress had been made in securing special trains to bring the people here and return them to their homes on the day of celebration. Ar- rangements were being made for a train Jo leave hereat 10 o'clock on Saturday night and run over the Bald Eagle Val- ley road to Tyrone and then out to Philipsburg ; another to go over to the Lewisburg road to Montandon. It is believed that no difficulty will be ex- perienced in getting the desired trains, as both Supt. Blair, of Tyrone, and Pas- senger Agent Farrar, of Williamsport, are favorably inclined to do all they can. It was also voted to send invita- tions to Clearfield and Curwensville, and to the G. A. RB. Posts throughout Cen- tre county. The committee met again in the evening and determined to send in- vitations to the Millheim and Boals- burg Bands. Finance committee re- ported about $600 aiready subscribed with a probability of $200 more being raised. An invitation was extended to a fire company at Seneca Falls, N. Y,, which is about making a pleasure trip and might be induced to come 10 Bellefonte and participate in our Fourth of July celebration. The committee concluded to send Mr. J. S. McCargar to Lock Haven, Wil- liamsport, Lewisburg, Sunbury and Milton ; Col. Mullen to Tyrone; J. A. Fiedler to Philipsburg, Clearfield, and Curwensville, and C. L. Gates and Thomas Shauchensy to Altoona and Hollidaysbarg. The object of their mission was to see that the posters were put up properly and to work np an interest among the firemen of this place in favor of the demonstration at this place. It was voted to spend $100 tor fireworks ard Mr. John D. Sour- bezk was appointed to attend to this de- partment and to manage the setting off of the pyrotechnics in the Diamond on the evening of the Fourth. In his mis- sion to Tyrone Col. Mullin will make an effort to induce the celebrated Sheri- dan trocp to come here and take a part in our demonstration. At a meeting of the committee of Ar- rangemenis on Monday evening the most encouraging progress was reported. Word was received from various places of companies that were desirous of visit- ing Bellefonte on the Fourth, and invi- tations were extended to them. The young men of Centre Hall notified the committee that they avould like to par- ticipate in the parade as a fantastic or- ganization. They have accordingly been invited, and those of other places in the county who are fantastically in- clined have also been encouraged to come, This will be make an amusing feature of the parade. ——1If you want furniture cheap, E.
