it was impossible to save any thing in
the building.
A
Celebration of the Glorions 4th!
Itis now almost two weeks since the
citizens of our town celebrated the na-
tion’s 115th birthday, but for the bene-
fit of those of our readsrs who could not
be here to enjoy it and for those who
have not as yet heard of its magniti-
cerce, we will publish a short account
of the proceedings which proved so in-
teresting. 3
The heavy rain of Friday night before
the 4th somewhat dampened the ardor
of enthusiasts,but when the night trains
arrived with different organizations and
crowds of people on’ board, everyone
seemed to forget that the red and blue
had all run out of the bunting upon
which they had spent so much time.
The morning of the 4th dawned clear
and cool, and long before the town
was = aroused train loads of visi-
tors had commenced arriving. They
had ample time to note the elaborate de-
corations along the streets, before break-
fast, and they doubtless realized that
Bellefonte intended having an awful
big day.
Promptly at 10 o'clock tbe parade
was formed, the different divisious rest-
ing as follows: The first division on
High street with right resting on Spring;
‘the second and third divisions on North
Spring and Howard street, and the
fourth division on North Water street.
At 11 o'clock the command was given
and the parade began to move. After a
squad of policemen had opened the
route there came the
First Division.

of staff, Col. D. 8. Keller; Aides— J. C. Meyer,

ing
to Bishop, thence to Allegheny, to Linn,
to Armour, to Curtin, to Spring, to
Lamb, to Thomas, to High, up High to
Diamond where the parade was dismiss
ed.
The speakers of the day, Hon.
A. G. Curtin and Judge A. O. Furst,
then delivered spicy little talks from the
stand which had bzeun erected in the
Diamond, and the mornings program
ended,
During the afternoon the Sheridan
Troop entertained about eight thousand
people on the ball grounds. They gave
a very spirited exhibition of cavalry
drilling and to say that it was enjoyed
is putting it mildly. At three o’clock
the Milton Military band commenced
playing down on the ball grounds and
everyone knew that the long looked for
game between the Po R. R. club ,of
Philadelphia, and Bellefonte, was about
to begin. The game was hotly contest-
ed from start to finish and proved one
of the most interesting Bellefonte has
ever seen. The visitors won in the
eighth inning when they added two runs
to their score, mak ing the final 8 to 7.
In the evening an open air concert
and a large pyrotechnic display proved
very attractive features and seemed to
interest the crowd exceedingly well.
Without doubt the whole proceedings
were the finest our town has ever car-
ried out and with pardonable pride we
can say that Bellefonte has set a pace
tor the future demonstrations of her sis-
ters which they will find a difficult mat-
ter to keep up with; but then it wasa
citizens’ 4th and we were all in it and
feel doubly repaid for the trouble it cost,
Let them come often.
The fact that only two arrests were
made during the day, and that in the
face of a 16,000 crowd of wvisitoss, is
a wonderfully well behaved throng it |
Was.
Ifit were possible to pick one organ-
1zation, from the many visiting, as su-
perior to others, we would center our
choice upon the Rescue Hook and Lad-
der Co ,of Curwensville,their natty suits
and fine appearance eliciting general ap-
plause,but then the two Philipsburg com-
panies and the organization from Mil-
ton, and the Lock Haven boys, and all
the others,looked so well that they were
an honor to the parade. They all look-
ed bright and tidy, and the entire ab-
sence of drunken men was a most com-
mendable feature.
Among the business displays several
are deserving of special note.though the
general character of the floats bespoke
much care and expense in their prepara-
tion. We refer to the large display ot
the Bellefonte Fuel and Supply Co., to-
gether with that of the Acme Oil Co.
Manager J. S. Montgomery evidently
spent a great amount of time and labor
on his display, for it was a beauty in
every respect. Drawn by six well mat-
ed draught horses it elicited general ad-
miration.
The total subscriptions for the day
amounted to $815.50 and expenditures
to $660.66, leaving a balance of $154,84
which was turned over to the Logan
Steam Eire Engine Co. to be paid on
their new Silsby engine.
To four gentlemen, Mesrrs. J. S. Me-
Cargar, John D. Sourbeck, Geo. T.
Bush and Mayor Reeder, the citizens of
Bellefonte are indebted for more of the
success of the day, which we will ever
remember with the pleasantest recollec-
tions, than toany others. Their untiring
efforts reaped a harvest in the unani-
mous expression, “a glorious day.”
Our First CoacH.—Bellefonte is
neverslow in taking on metropolitan
airs and our energetic business men are
always on the lookout for some new at-
traction for their establishments. This
time it is in the livery of Mr. Jas. Pot-
ter and the addition is a handsome
“Tally-ho” coach. It was built by W.
J. Meyers, the coach maker at Pine
Grove Mills, and is a model for comfort
and beauty. We can imagine nothing
more ‘‘sporty’’ than being a member of
a party which hires this conveyance for
picnic purposes. Perched on one of the
many seats away up on its top one ex-
periences the most pleasant sensations
and then what, with a careful driver
and a fleet team, has he to do but enjoy
himself?
This coach is a thing which any man
might feel proud to possess and we con-
gratulate Mr. Potter on the foresight
which prompted him in having it built.
Visitors FrRoM THE WEsT.—Centre
county is just now being honored by a
visit from several of her former resi-
dents. They are Squire Elias Heckman
and wife and Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Rote,
of Orangeville, Ill.,and Mr. Solomon
Ermold and wife, of Buckeye, Ill.
Mr. Heckman left Penn Hall
about twenty years ago and has not
been back until this time, while Mr.
Ermold left the same place half a
century ago. They will visit friends in
the lower end of the county. We wel-
come them back to ‘old Centre’ and
hope that their visit may prove a pleas-
ant one.
"A UNIONVILLE BENEDICT. — Mr.
Joseph T. Barton, of Unionville, was
married to Miss Alice Smith, of the
same place, on Tuesday evening, July
performed at the residence of Rev. Geo.
Elliott, on Linn street, Bellefonte, and
was strictly private. The young couple
had been members of a cave party and
instead of going home on the evening
train they tarried here and were happi-
ly made one.
~ Mr. Barton is head clerk in the gen-
eral mercantile establishment of T, E.
Griest, at Unionville, and is a young
man of good judgment aud business
ability and has figured quite prominent-
ly in the politics of the Bald Eagle con-
tingent. His bride is a prepossessing
and intelligent young woman who will
make him a valuable help-mate. We
hope that their married life may be
but a continued honey-moon.
ACCIDENT AT A LuMBER JoB.—The
Sugar Valiey Journal of the 3rd inst.
states that an accident happened on Bar-
ner & Engle’s lumber job, near Carrol,
on Tuesday, of last week, by which
Robert Barner, the 19-year-old son of
Daniel Barner, nearly lost his life. The
young man, in company with three or
four othur workmen, were chopping
down trees, and while thus engaged a
large hemlock tres fell upon Robert,
breaking his backbone and otherwise in-
juring him severely. He was imme-
diately removed home and medical aid
was summoned. Kind friends are giv-
ing every assistance possible to ease his
suffering, but the chances for his recov-
ery are doubtful.
——We are under obligations to Cen-
tre Council No. 703, Royal Arcanum,
for an invitation to attend a basket pic-
nic to be held in R. A. Park, at Philips-
burg, on Thursday, July 23rd. The
picnic will undoubtedly be a success,
as our Philipsburg friends know so
well how to successfully conduct such

EE tr A FE A Tt EE WS POSIT RR
A TrusTED EMPLOYEE KILLED. —
One of the saddest accidents which has
occurred in the neighborhood of State
College for many years resulted in the
death of Mr. Jas. Fulton, a young man
whose conscientious work for his em-
ployers and whose straightforward man-
ner with men had made him a gereral
favoritein the community.
On Thursday evening, July 9th,
when every man on the College farm
was working his hardest to harvest the
hay crop which was down, and when
they had gone out for the last load they
little realized that on the retnrn they
would bear one of their number, dead.
But such was the case, for while Mr.
Fulton was driving the team from the
field tothe barn he accidentally fell and
the half ladened wagon passed over his
chest. Life lingered about ten mix utes
and then he died. The result of a brok-
en spine.
He was about 34 years old and leaves
a wife and one child; the leader of the
College band and always honored by
his felbw workingmen.
Tay SURPRISED Him, —On last Fri-
day, Jaly 10th, Mr. Geo. L. Peters,
who lives on the Hoover place above
Dick’s Run, celebrated the 79th year of
his life in a way that afforded much
pleasure to many of his kin. The old
gentleman had not anticipated anything
unusual for his birthday, however, and,
when cne after another, friends and re-
latives, began to assemble at the home-
stead he beggn to realize that there was
something up, and before long he fonnd
himsef surrounded by all of his children
but the two sons who are in Iowa, his
grand children, nephews, nieces and
friends, .
The party was a gay one and for the
time being Mr. Peters was made to for-
get that he was slowly but surely drift-
ing down the current of time. The day
was most pleasantly spent and when
evening came all seemed loath to depart.
We wish him many occasions of such
happiness. Friends and relatives were
present from Bellefonte, Port Matilda,
Unionville, Lemont and other places.
A FINE MUsiCAL ORGANIZATION.—
One of the pleasantest memories we
will have of our glarious 4th, of '91, will
be that of the band which accompanied
the Steam Fire Engine Co., from Mil-
ton. It wasthe Milton Military band
and is composed of an exceptional num-
ber of talented young musicians.
‘While their appearance did not exactly
fulfill one’s ideal of a military band yet
if they had called themselves the Mil-
ton Symphony Concert Band the name
would have been well merited indeed.
During the day in Bellefonte the or-
ganization rendered much delightful
music, but perhaps the evening’s pro-
gramme was most enjoyed. About
seven o'clock the band marched up
from the Bush House and took posses-
sion of the stand which had been erected
in the Diamond and there they discours-
ed some selections, which for band pro-
ductions were certainly excellent. Sev-
eral thousand people heard the concert
and from the attention we inferred that
all were alike charmed.
UNIONVILLE HAS A BURGALARY.—
On Tuesday morning last about two
o’clock Squire Benjamin Rich, of Un-
ville, was awakened by some one walk-
ing in his room. Thinking it was his
son, he called him by name, and receiv-
ing no response he looked up just in
tims to see a strange form grab his watch
7th; at 8 o'clock: The ceremony was | 8nd trousers and run fromthe room:
The Squire jumped from his bed and
followed the man out into the landing,
and was just in the act of looking over
the railing when a pistol shot warned
him that he was not needed any longer.
From the position Mr. Rich occupied at
the time, and the place where the ball
lodged in the ceiling above, it is evident
that if the shot was intended to have ef-
fect it was dangerously near its mark.
Unionville is seldom disturbed in ‘her
quiet retreat and this afiair has set
the whole community agog with excit-
ment.
A Livery LunaTic.—Some days
ago Chief of Police, W. M. Snyder, of
Tyrone,went to arrest an insane woman,
wife of W. H. Shelow, of that place.
For the last three months she has been a
terror in the community in which she
lives. When the policeman went to
make the arrest he had a good deal of
trouble, and she defied arrest three
times. The lives of the neighbors were
in danger afid something had to be done.
She was taken up to, the Hollidaysburg
jail shoeless, stockingless and bare-head-
ed because she would not permit any-
thing to remain on those parts of her
person, pulling them off as fast as they
were put on.
Canapa TaIsTLES.—Chief Burgess
Reeder issues a proclamation in which he
gives notice to every person owning or
occupying lands within the Borough of
Bellefonte, on which Canada thistles are
growing, to cut the same, so as to pre-
vent the seed of the same from ripening.
If owners or occupiers refuse to destroy
such thistles, the same will be cut and
destroyed in the manner prescribed by
the Act of Assembly in such cases made
and provided, and in that event the
costs thereof will be collected from such
things.
owner or occupant according to law,
A HorrIBLE DEATH.—A three year
old child of John Wilkins, a blacksmith
at Lemont, got into a field in which
there was a flock of sheep, on last
Thursday. In the flock was a very
cross buck and immediately upon seeing
the babe inside the fence he made for it,
goring and mangling it in a horrible
manaer. When found the body was
altogether lifeless and the mother has
been almost crazed with grief.
ProMoTION OF A CENTRE COUNTY
SOLDIER.- -General J. S, Brisbin will be
retired from active service February 1,
1891. As General Kautz, lately promot-
ed, vice General Gibson, retired, will be
placed on the retited list in January,
1892, the promotion of General Brisbin
before his retirement is probable.
General Brisbin is a Centre county
man and was born in the neighborhood
of Boalsburg, He married a daughter
of David M. Wagner, of Bellefonte, a
very handsome and excellent lady who
died recently.
——Novelties in furniture and wall
paper are the order of the day at E.
Brown, Jr's on Bishop street.
——Mrs. John Homan, who lived
with her husband at the branch, just
above Lemont, on the road to Pine
Grove Mills, suddenly dropped dead at
the threshold of her home on Thursday
last. She had been as well as usual up
to within a few moments before her
death, when cries for help brought
friends who were leading her into the
house, when death came. Heart disease
is supposed to be the cause.
——McQuistion & Co’s is the place
to get fine buggies, carriages and wa-
gons of every kind.
——Early on Monday morning, July
6th, burglars entered the home of Mr.
John W. Cooke, on North Allegheny
street, and succeeded in finding a gold
watch and chain, a silver watch and
chain, about ten dollars in cash and
some good clothes. Mr. Cooke heard
them in his room, but taking it to be
his son Harry who was going to leave
on the early train he was not disturbed
until it was too late to capture the

——Last Sunday at the home of the
bride, Mr. Frank Galbraith, of Belle-
fonte, was married to Miss Cora Kar-
stetter of Lock Haven, Rev. George W.
Gerhard performing the ceremony.
Speaking of this happy union, the Lock
| Haven Democrat says: Mr. Galbraith
is a jeweler in the Bush House block,
in Bellefonte, and a very indus-
trious and clever young man, well off
and comfortably fixed. He has a fine
establishment and is sure to make a
good husband, Miss Karstetter is a fine
looking young lady, and we wish the
newly married couple much happiness.
——On the night of the 4th of July
the pretty little house, on Curtin street,
owned by Mr. A.S. Valentine, of Al-
lantic City, and occupied by Mr. Ed.
Rowe and family, was burned with all
its contents. Scarcity of water and the
slow work of the department are respon-
sible for the entire demolition of the
place, for when the fire was first discov-
ered a few bucket fulls of water would
have put it out.
Two MeN Brown Upr.—A very dis-
tressing accident occurred at the lime
quarries operated by A. G. Morris, just
below town, on Wednesday morning
last. Two men, Charles Heverly and
Lyman Corman, were setting off a blast
away up in the side of one of the solid
rock walls which vary from 75 to 100
feet in height. They had just com-
pleted a hole six feet in depth and after
having made an unsuccessful attempt at
firing it they were puting in a “sand
blast” when a spark from the first flew
into the six pound can of powder which
they had and a terrific explosion follow-
ed. Heverly was blown off the ledge of
rock on which they were standing and
dashed down on a pile of rock about 40
feet below, while Corman was blown oft
also,but grabbing a safety rope he saved
himself from the awful fall.
Workmen below picked up the man-
gled form of Heyerly and hastened to
the rescue of Corman. Both were bad -
ly burned and cat, but with proper
care will recover.

Lomond, near Philipsburg, drowned
while bathing in the old mill dam ba-
sin, at that place, on Saturday afternoon
last. He was eleven years old.
——The attractions of a trip to
Mackinac Island via the Detroit &
Cleveland Steam Navigation Co!, are
unsurpassed. It only costs about $13.00
from Detroit, or $18.00 from Cleveland,
for the round trip, including meals and
berths.
——The Democrats of Blair county
held their convention on Monday and
endorsed Hon. John Dean for President
Judge and nominated T. D. Hughes for
Sheriff and W. C. Reem for Prothono-
tary.
—— Wall paper in every shade and
pattern at E. Brown, Jr's on Bishop

——The Karthaus Times gets off a
snake story that beats the record so far
this season, That paper says that the
crew on J. S. Michael’s log drive killed
103 snakes in one day between Deer
Creek and Karthaus. Out of the num-
ber 100 were copperheads and the
balance rattlesnakes.
Died.
HOU SEL.—Near Zion, June 22, of diabetes,
George Alexander, son of Foster and Eliza
Ho usel, aged 7 years, 8 months and 8 days.
As the shepher gathers his flock to his
fold, so God, in His wisdom gathers little
children into his heavenly kingdom, and in
taking this one, has removed from the family
a very bright and interesting child. His dis-
ease was not thought as fatal, until he called
his parents and other near relatives to his
bedside and stretched out his hand to bid
them a final good bye, when it was known that
“God’s will be done,” There was a shadow of
sorrow swept over the family and others pre.
sent, that will forever keep fresh in their
memory, especially the parting words of the
dearly beloved child.
Sleep on dear Georgie, takethy rest,
God called thee home, where he thought
best
