are so full that it is necessary for him to
keep pulling s»me to make room for the
others to grow.
Tue KevsroNE HILL ATTEMPTED
MURDER AND SuICIDE.— We last week
gave a short notice of the attempt of
Reuben Wilkings to murder Mrs. John
‘Wilson at Keystone Hill, a mining vil-
lage near Philipsburz, and his attempt
afterwards to commit suicide, and also
the unfortunate family complication
that led to the crime. A local paper,
giving further particulars, says:
Mrs. Wilson informed Wilkings that
he would have to change his boarding
place. One word brought on another,
and Wilkings, becoming enraged, pick-
ed up a base ball bat and struck Mrs.
Wilson a severe blow on the back of the
head, who rushed out of the house, gave
one piercing scream and fell unconscious
to the ground.
Wilkings, thinking possibly that he
had killed his victim, ran up stairs and
loaded a gun with the purpose, evi-
dently, of shootirg any one who might
rush in to arrest him. He then conclud-
ed that possibly it would be best for him
to take his own life, and made all nec-
essary preparations. Placing a news-
paper on the floor, and having a cup in
readiness to catch the blood, he secured
a razor and cut his throat, severing the
wind pipe, but not getting far enough
back to cut the jugular vein. He sat
down on a chair and left the blood run
into the cup, a position in which he was
found when some of the neighbors rush-
ed in upon him,
Mrs. Wilson was carried into the
house, previous to which a neighbor,
Mr. George Hill, came to town for Dr.
Harman and Officer Simler. Both hast-
ened to the scene of the difficulty, Dr.
Harman attending to the injuries of
Mrs. Wilson, who was found to have
received an ugly fracture of the skull,
near its base, and Officer Simler placing
Wilkings under arrest. They were sur-
prised to find that he had cut his throat,
and when the Dr. attempted to dress his
wound, he showed considerable resist-
ance. When told that he was under ar-
rest he submitted to having his wounds
dressed and then was taken to the Min-
er’s hospital, where he lingered until
last Friday afternoon when death put
an end to a career which was wound up
with the commission of a great crime.
At last accounts there were indications
of Mrs. Wilson’s recovery.
A letter found on the person of
Wilkings, written after he had struck
Mrs. Wilson, and intended asa “dying
confession,” is said to contain some ugly
developments which would not be fit to
publish.
Mr: CasanNova’s WESTERN INTER-
ESTS.-—Speaking of that prominent Cu-
ban American citizen of this county,
whose interests largely connect him
with its coal operations, the Philipsburg
Journal says:
Hon. J. N. Casanova, who has been
absent on a pleasure and business trip
to Colorado and Utah, is home again.
He was accompanied by ex-Senator
Waliace, who is still in the west. Mr.
Casanova has interested himself in Wal-
lace’s Colorado silver mines, and will
proceed at once to develope the same by
means of electricity, which will not only
facilitate the business, but prove a great
financial saving, cutting down the ex-
penses at least $45 per day. Mr. Casa-
nova, who has also recently purchased
an interest in the famons Chippewa
Springs, at Chippewa I'alls, Wis., will
establish his headquarters in Chicago.
The President of Ecuador has-just hon-
ored Mr. Casanova by appointing him
on the commissicn to represent that Re-
public at the World’s Fair in Chicago,
and the fact that he speaks French and
Spanish fluently, with his general
knowledge and fitness in other respects,
will enable him to fill the position most
creditably,
First PENNA. CAVALRY.—The First
Pennsylvania Cavalry will hold their
annual reunion at Emperium, Cameron
county, on September 9th and 10th, and
great preparations are being made there
to receive them. Among the distin-
guished people expected to be present on
this occasion are Ex-Governors Curtin
and Beaver, Gen. Hastings, Ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor Stone and others. The
Cameron county Press says that this
will be the greatest event that has trans-
pired in that town for many years and
will attract a large number of people.
The town will be beautifully decorated
with arches, flags, etc., and at night the
streets will be illuminated with natural
gas. The fire department und a number
of invited organizations will take part
in the parade, and last but not least the
handsome ladies of the town will be out
in all their beauty. From this itis plain
to be seen that Emporinm expects to
bave one of the brightest and most en-
joyable occasions in its history.
BorouGH DELEGATES.— At the Re-
publican primaries last Saturday even-
ing the following delegates were elected

tion on Tuesday.

sive use, and its merits are being gener-
ally acknowledged.
——Five of the recently locked out
puddlers of the Logan Iron Works of
Mifllin county arrived here last week
and got employment at the nail works.
A few weeks ago some dozen of the iron
workers at the nail works left here and

ers at Logan. This seems to have been
something of a swap.

sold over $5,000 worth of threshing ma-
chinery this season, consisting of three
traction and one portable engine, three
large Peerless Separators, including one
small thresher and separator with one
horse tread power. This large sale in
Centre county indicates that the Geiser
traction engines, threshers and separa-
tors are still in the lead as well as the
most popular farm machinery.
David M. Lieb, principal of the
Bellefonte schools, was a guest of Krom’s
Hotel last night and left for home this
morning. Mr. Lieb is a cultured
scholar and one of the most successful
of teachers. Mr. Reed, proprietor of
Krom’s Hotel, is quite lucky in eatch-
ing on to distinguished travelers, most
of whom know where the good *‘vittles”
are with which to comfort the inner
man.— Lock Haven Democrat of Satur-
dey.
——The Ladies’ Mite Society of the
Howard Evangelical church, will hold

——Aaron Williams received a letter
from George Wilson, who is looking
after his farm in Colorado, informing
him that there were 80 acres of wheat
and 25 acres of corn on Williams’ place
destroyed by a hail storm on the 16th
of July. Mr. Wilson ‘says the wheat
would have yielded at least 2000 bushels,
Wilson says that he had on his own
farm about 2000 bushels of wheat and
about 1000 bushels of barley destroyed.
The storm cut a swath through the
country about 5 miles wide and 15 or 20
miles in length. One farmer who lost
300 acres of wheat, estimates that with-
in 10 miles of Fort Collins, there was at
least $250.000 wor‘h of wheat destroyed:
Mr. George Wilson above mentioned is
asonof W. L. Wilson, of Half Moon
township, Centre county, Pa.
——DMre. Anna Beezer, who died at
her home on Spring Creek, about two

Henry, Frank, John, Andrew and Fer-
dinand Beezer and Jacob Gross were
the pall-bearers.
LE TE TE ART
CounciL MEETING,—At meeting of
borough council last Monday evening
there was considerable discussion in re-
gard to opening up streets and alleys.
John G. Love, esq., represented Wil-
liam Steel in opposition to the opening
of an alley running south from the Aca -
demy and through his property. John
Blanchard, esq., represented Prof.
Hughes in favor of this alley, which was
closed by mutual consent some years ago
and which is now wanted to be opened
and used as a public highway. The ques-
tion was referred to borough solicitor
Dale with instructions that he should
thoroughly investigate the matter and
report at next meeting. Chief Burgress
Reeder represented that citizens of north
ward wanted a light to be placed at the
corner of Linn and Allegheny streets,
and he also asked council to take
some action to prevent cows from being
at large on the streets. Solicotor Dale
was instructed to go on with the pro-
ceedings for opening Humes strect, and
also an alley parallel with Bishop street
between Logan and Willow streets east
to the Lewistown pike. The street
committee was directed to establish the
grade on Willowbank street. A motion
of Mr, Gault to pass an ordinance to pro-
hibit the running of cows on the streets
of Bellefonte was not seconded.
Market fees to the amount of $10.50
were reported.
Chairman Hillibish of the Water
committee submitted a plan for the erec-
tion of a standpipe six feet above the
present reservoir. 1t will force the wa-
ter four feet higher than at present in
the elevated perts ofthe town, and in-
crease the pressure three pounds every-
where. It will also greatly save ex-
pense at the water works and will soon
pay for the cost of its erection, estimated
to be about $200. The Water commit-
tee were instructed to proceed to erect
the standpipe in accordance with this
plan.

BEATEN AT Lock HAVEN.—On Sat-
urday morning last the Bellefonte Ball
club, accompanied by thirty or forty
enthusiasts, went to Lock Haver to,‘‘do
up” the team of that town. The mem-
ory of the great victory over Harrisburg
the Wednesday before still fresh in their
minds, seemed to add an unwonted con-
fidence that more laurels were to be
brought into camp, but they were weep-
ing willows instead.
After arriving at Lock Haven the
Bellefonte contingent amused itself in
making the Lock Haven sports ‘take
water,” for odds of 4 to 1 were freely of-
fered on our boys and they were not
taken. The game commenced prompt-
ly at two, with Bellefonte at the bat.
Pretty singles by Quigley, Woodcock
and Yerger, together with two sacrifice
hits and an error,netted us two runs in
the first inning, and when Lock Haven
came in for her half, the first two bats-
men were fielded out, but the third and
fourth took, each, a base on slow field-
ing. Here a hit to deep center brought
them both home, for Rine and Quigley
both started after it, and though it wa$
in the centre field territory, they ran to-
gether with such force that both receiv-
ed very painful injuries. This accident
was most costly, indeed, and seemed to
completely dishearten Bellefonte, Once
afterward our instinctive superior play-
ing put us in the lead, but the men
seemed too listless to hold the place and
eight innings of very uninteresting ball
were dragged through.
The Lock Haven grounds are very
poor in the field, and the fact that our
players had to jump ditches, thistles and
four foot mullein stalks was demoraliz-
ing, indeed, but it was an excellent
pointer to the management. Before the
team is taken dewn to oursister town
again, hardle racing will have been on
the training list. !
The score by innings was as follows:

——When the Republican county
commissioners went out of office it was
discovered that they had used $8,461.56
of State funds for county purposes. This
was irregular and unlawful. Last week
the present Democratic board refunded
in full to the State Treasurer this money
which their predecessors had misap-
plied.
There is a good bit of kicking
among some of our idle men because
the Italians and Hungarians have been
given the preference in the digging of
the foundation for the new church, and
we don’t think the complaint is beyond
reason either. When it comes to pay-
ing for the church it will not be the
Italians and Hungarians who will be
asked to help, but it will be those very
men who have been discarded in favor
of foreign labor.—Tyrone Herald.
A MounTaAIN WEDDING.—Rev. J.
‘W. White, a brother-in-law of ex-Gov-
ernor Beaver, pastor of one of the churches
at Milroy, was recently confronted by
a question full of hymeneal perplexities.
A couple came over the Seven Moun-
tains from Centre county to the parson-
age, desiring him to unite them in
marriage, Their license was issued in
Centre county, and a question arose in
the reverend gentleman’s mind whether
it was not the intent of the state law that
the ceremony should be performed in
the county in which the license is grant-
ed. Register and Recorder Boldren, at
Lewistown, was phoned for an opinion
and he thought the preacher was right
in his view. Captain Moore, justice of
the peace at Milroy, was also consulted,
but differed from both the others. At
this juncture a happy thought entered
the parson’s mind, adopting which
would place him on the safe side: By
driving to the tap of the third of the
Seven mountains he would reach the
dividing line between Mifllin and Centre
counties. The couple were willing and
after a long drive the parties found
themselves at the boundery. Stepping
across the line Rev. White sat once pro-
ceeded to solemnize the union of Edwin
Rhul and Maggie Burrell, of Spring
Malls.
The groom, Edwin Ruhl, is the son of
Mr. David Ruhl, proprietor of the
Spring Mills hotel and is a very popular
young man, and his bride, Miss Bur-
rell, is a very handsome lady, and Ed-
win is to be congratulated upon the
success of his choice of a better half.
The couple will continue to ceside at
Spring Mills in the future. They have
the best wishes of all for future hap-
piness.— Centre Reporter.
Narrow Escape oF A DrIviNG
PARTY.— Walter W. Franklin, Esq.,
received a letter from Boalsburg, Centre
county, Pa,, Monday evening, which
gave a graphic account ofa thrilling
runaway accident in which J. H. R.
Wagner, Esq., of this city, and his wife
were injured. Mrs. Wagner, who wrote
the letter, made a narrow escape from a
shocking death.
Mr. and Mrs. Wagner went to Boals-
burg on Tuesday last, where they were
the guests of Mr. Michael Hess, Mr,
Wagner's cousin. On Tuesday the
Lancaster visitors and Mr. and Mrs, Hess
went out driving. They occupied a
vehicle drawn by a pair of very spirited
young horses. The animals became
frightened and could not be controlled
by Mr. Hess.
They ran away and dashed toward the
State College at a maddening pace, It
was certain death to jump from the con-
veyance, and the terrified ladies clung
to the sides of the carriage until the big
gates of the college were reached. The
horses ran through the gates and the
tongue of the carriage was broken off.
A large splinter penetrated one of the
horses legs and this caused the frenzied
animal to plunge ahead in a frightful
manner. The carriage was completely
demolished at the gatesand the occu-
pants were thrown out. Mrs. Wagner
was caught in one of the wheels and
she was dragged about 60 feet. The
wheel broke and she dropped to the
ground unconscious. Nearly all the
clothing was torn from her person.
Had it not been for the breaking of the
wheel Mrs. Wagner would have been
dragged to death over the road. Her
| injuries consisted ofa number of severe
cuts and bruises about the face and
body. Mr. Hess’ leg was broken, Mrs.
Hess was seriously injured, and Mr.
Wagner was considerably cut and
bruised.
Mr. Hess is well known here. Mis.
Wagner is a sister to Mrs. Emlen Frank-
lin. Mr. Wagner's many friends, as
well as those of Mis. Wagner, will be
glad to hear that their injuries are not
of a serious character.— Lancaster Ex-
aminer.
