Heinle, Exq., reported the following. The Democracy of Centre county in conven tion assembled do resolve: First. That we call the attention of all fair. minded citizens to the glaring rascalities of the Republican officials in the chief city of the Commonwealth, where millions of the public money have been boldly|stolen fromjthe Treas- ury and largely employed in the corruption of voters at the polls; where pretended com- mittees of investigation have refused to ex- pose the chief conspirators in the looting of the city treasury, through fear that the expo. sition would bring disaster and ruin to the Re- publican party. Second : That we charge that the present Auitar General ard State Treasurer have neglected to make periodical settlements with county treasurers as required by law; that the State Treasurer has placed state funds in inse- cure banks ; that the Auditor General has per- mitted mercantile appraisers to swindle the State by gross frauds in the collection of mer- canulie licenses, and in general aided and abetted dishonest officials to use their posi. tions to enrich themselves at the expense of the tax payers, whereby large sums of money belonging to the people have been annually | wasted and stolen. Third : That in view of the malfeasances in the finances of the Confmonwealth by the lead- ing men in the Republican party, we declare that public safety and security demand that all honest citizens, regardless of party affilia- tions, should unite in supporting candidates for Auditor General and State Treasurer of | known integrity, belonging to the Democratic party, in order that the true condition of the ! State’s finances may be fully investigated and the chief actors in public crimes brought te punishment. Fourth : That the faithful discharge of offi- cial duty at Harrisburg by steadily and cour- ageously guarding the public funds against needless and extravagant expenditure ; stem- vacation with his Centre county friends. ing the flood tide of vicious and useless legis- lation; approving such legislation as tends to the amelioration of the oppressed and se- curing to them their rights, and at all times having a jealous concern for all the varied in- terests of our grand Commenwealth, make the name. of Robert E. Pattison shine as that of a true patriot, and merits from'us our un- qualified endorsement of his administration of public affairs as the Chief Executive of Pennsylvania. After the unanimons adoption of the above,Judge Orvis presented the follow- ing in relation to the basis of represen- tation in future congressional and sena- torial district conferences,which was un- animously adopted. Wazereas, All nominations of candidates for public offices to be voted for by the people should be made by the people themselves, or by their representatives chosen in such man- ner as to give every qualified voter an equal voice in making such nomination, and where- as the method of making district nominations in the Democratic party in the central part of Pennsylvania by district conferences,in which every county has the same representation re- gardless of its population or democratic vote, is manifestly unjust, and is at variance with the genoral plan of organization of the demo- cratic party, therefore be it Resolved, 1st. That hereafter the Democrat- ic party of Centre county will insist that the representation in all district conferences or nominating conventions from each county, shall be in proportion to the Democratic} vote of such county. 2nd. That we favor making the nominating convention sufficiently large to properly rep- resent and voice the wishes of the people, and therefore favor the allotment to each couhty in the district of a delegate for every five hun- dred democratic votes (or fractional part there- of over one half) cast at the last Presidential oi gubernatorial election. 3rd. That we favor the election of the Dis. trict delegates to the nominating conventions by the people at the primary elections, with or without instructions as the voters may jdeem best, and that said delegates be elected in sin- gle districts, so that each delegate will be re. sponsible to the voters of his immediate dis_ trict for his actions in the nominating conven- tion. 4th. That the County Committee of Centre county be, and the said committee is hereby iustrueted, to apportion said county into ten Delegate Districts, each containing as nearly as may be an equal number of democratic votes, without dividing an election district, and to publish said apportionment a sufficient time before the primary election of 1892, to give the voters fuil and ample notice thereof. 5th. That at the primary election to be held in 1892 there shall be elected in each of said Delegate Districts in the county, one Congres- sional delegate who shall attend the Congres- sional Conference or nominating convention» for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress from the 28th District of Pennsylva~ nia. And that district delegates be elected at ever subsequent election whenever al district nomination is to be made. 6th. That a committee of three be appoint- ed of which the president of this convention shall be chairman, to attend the next Demo- cratic County Convention of the several coun- ties composing our present Congressional, Senatorial and Judicial Districts, and lay these resolutions before said conventions, and re" quest the co-operation of the democracy of said counties in establishing this reform in making district nominations. 7th. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Chairman ofthe Democratic Coun- ty Committee of each of the counties compos- ing the present Congressional, Senatorial] and Judicial Districts of which Centre Jeounty forms a part. The chair appointed Judge Orvis and F. K. White to attend the conventions suggested in the 6th resolution. There being no other business the convention adjourned sine die. FrLour MiLL BURNED AT PHILIPS- BURG.—Early last Tuesday morning a fire broke out in the flour mill of Brin- ton, Duncan & Barnes, at Philipsburg, resulting in its entire destruction. The loss is estimated at $10,000, on which there is an insurance of $5,500-= $3,500 on the building and $2,000 on the stock, ete. Considerable flour, feed, ete., was removed from the building during the progress of the fire. Fortunately about $2,000 worth of grain, etc., order- ed and on the way, had not yet reached the mill, having been delayed at Tyrone or some other point along the route. The origin of the fire isa complete mystery. Some think the building was set on fireby a passing locomotive; oth- ers look upon it as the work of an incen- diary, while the impression with many is that it caught from heated bearings. Tue CHRONIC INsANE HOSPITAL. — The Philadelphia Record says : “The commission to locate and build an asy- lum for the chronic insane met Thurs- day and organized permanently by electing Wharton Barker president ; Henry M. Dechert, treasurer, and John M. Reynolds, secretary, Hon. B. Storm and John Curwen, M. D. and the other gentlemen named, constitute the com- mission. They received personal and written applications from committees. representing different counties. . They will go into the Schuylkill, Lebanon and Cumberland valleys, and thence to various points in the central portion of the State. The act of assembly appro- priates $500,000 for the purchase of 500 acres of arable land and the erection of buildings at a point accessible to the State hospital for the insane. Other visits will be made at an early date.” The Bellefonte committee may conse- quently look for a visit from the regu- larly organized commission soon. ——The annual reunion of the three western companies of Gov. Beav- er’s old Regiment, the 148th Pa. Vols., ; will be held at Indiana, Pa. Aug.27th, a pressing invitation to the remainder of the regiment has been extended by Senator H. K. Sloan on behalf of the Western boys. Those desiring to at- tend can procure card orders for tickets by applying to D. S. Keller, Belle- fonte. A PAIR OF BEAR Stomims.—It isa little early for bear stories, which usual- ly make their appearance when the sea- : son is further advanced toward fall, but i the bears reem unusually frisky this | year. It appears that one day last week while Harry Smith and Percy | Myers, two Nippenose boys, were on | their way to Waterville, with loads of | bark, two large bears stepped from the side of the road and followed them for some distance, when the boys concluded to try their luck at throwing stones, these being the only weapons they had at that time. But the bears not heeding the stones came still closer to the wagon, at which time the boys thought it best to short distance, stopped and began firing at them again, when oneran up the mountain. The other getting angry, came for the boys and each of them got a stick out of the bark rack and made for the bear. They clubbed him until they were nearly exhausted, when they espied the other bear coming down the mountain. The boys jumped into the wagon again and had to leave them, went on to Waterville and gave the news to an old hunter, who went along back with the boys, but the bears were no more to be found. About the same time as the above ad- venture three residents of Haglville had a lively experience with members of the bear family in the woods at the head wa- ters of Beech Creek. They were Ir- vin and D. B. Kunes and W. W. Clark, who had gone into the woods to look up stray cattle belonging to them. The first bear they encountered was a large one, supposed to weigh 500 pounds. D. B. Kunes had taken a big dog with him and after considerable urging the dog attacked the bear. Bruin ran for a short distance and then reversed the order of things by turning on the dog. Thedog ran back to where the men were, with the bear closely following. One of the men climbed a tree, and the others by dodging behind trees succeeded in evad- ing the attack of the infuriated animal until the dog again put it to flight, ANOTHER PREMATURE BLAST.— Quarry accidents resulting from prema- ture blast are of too frequent occurrence. One occurred last Saturday in the Me- Ateer quarry, near Union Furnace, Blair county, seriously injuring John Himes and Jacob Espot. They were filling with powder a hole which had been pre- viously shot with dynamite, and it is evident that a spark remained from the shooting. A quantity of powder had been poured into the hole and Espot had the second can under his arm and in- tended finishing to get ready to fire the charge when there was a terrific explo- sion, the full can of powder exploding in his hands. Himes jwas taken to his home at ‘Franklinville and everything done to relieve his sufferings and it is ex- pected he will recover. Espot, after having his burns dressed, was taken to the hospital and made as comfortable as the nature of his injuries would permit. His face, arms, chest and right knee are badly burned. Itis not thought either men will lose his eyesight. AN ARM SHoT OFF AT Lock HAVEN. -—William Charles, a former resident of Philipsburg, but for some months past a clerk at the Central Hotel, Lock Haven, met with a misfortune Monday morning about half past seven o’clock, that may result in his death. Heand the porter of the hotel were having a little scuffle, in a sportive way, when the latter pick- ed up a gun which had been left in the room by another party, and not know- ing thatit was loaded, pointed it at Charles, “in fun,” with the remark, “I’1l shoot you.” And sure enough, he did shoot him, the ball penetrating the right elbow and almost severing the arm, and at noon reaction had not yet taken place, and grave fears were enter- tained respecting the resuit. The por- teris said to be in deep anguish over the sad termination of his reckless use of the gun, but Mr. Charles’ friends are hop- ing that beyond the loss of the arm, which is bad enough, there will be no more serious results. No Special TRAINS To NEWTON HawmiutoN.—No ‘special trains will be run to the Newton Hamilton campmeet- ing this year. It was the request of Presiding Elder Lantz and Secretary Rhodes that no special excursion trains be run on Sunday, and the P. R. R. company decided to run none but the regular trains. There will be excursion rates as usual. The effect will be to keep away the customary huge crowd: on Sunday, but it will be the better for the attendants who go to campmeeting to worship. This is the first time in the history of the Newton Hamilton camp that no excursion trains will be run to the grounds on the Sabbath, and the effect will be watched with interest. Cows KILLED BY LigHTNING.—Hurry Sayder, a farmer who lives in Nittany valley, between Mackeyville and Clin- tondale, was unfortunate enough to lose three valuable cows last week. They were under a tree in a pasture field when the tree was struck by lighting, resulting . in the killing of the cows.

See ad- vertisement. A BoLp ESCAPE FroM JATL.—Last Friday morning, James Welsh, await- ing trial for highway robbery, and Frank Waite, for criminal assaultion a little girl, escaped from the jail at Holi- daysburg. They wrenched bars off their iron cots and with them dug a? large hole through a three foot stone wall, and with a rope made out of their bed clothes dropped twenty feet to the yard below, and then with a file, which had been furnished to them in jail by friends filed the lock off the yard gate and made good their escape. There is a liberal reward offered for their arrest. ATTACKED BY HUNGARIANS.—Last superin- tendent of Wigton & Co’s, near Mad- era, while driving along the public road in a buggy, accompanied by his wife was assailed by three Hungarians, One of them struck him on the head “with a rock, knocking him insensible. As they were about to do him further vio- lence Aaron Shoff and his son, ;Lhearicg the screams of Mrs. McGonigal, appear- ed on the scene. The men have not yet been captured. McGoingal was un- armed. He is unable to give any cause for the attack on him. A CLiNTON County FRUIT FARM. —A Lock Haven paper gives an ac- count of a fruit farm belonging to Mr. George S. Good, about a mile and a half from that place. Out of 8,000 peach trees planted, more than 5,000 are growing finely, and, withthe exception of a few recently planted, are all load- ed with fruit. Seven men are kept busy every day in propping the trees. Mr. Good’s system of propping consists of a center pole lashed to the trunk of the tree and the limbs in all directions tied up to this pole by means of tar rope. Some idea of the extent of this tying may be had by knowing that more than $50 worth of twine has been used for the purpose. An estimate of this peach crop is 8,000 bushels, and this is rather an under estimate. The apple trees are equally well losd- ed and the same system of propping is used, Choice Wagners, Baldwins and other varieties of winter apples fairly cover the trees. But for the props the trees would all be broken down with the weight of the fruit. The pear and plum trees are young, just beginning to bear, yet they were loaded with fruit. ANOTHER FATAL RESULT OF CARELESS Piston HanpLINg. — McVeytown, Mifflin county, isin an state of excite- ment over a fatal accident which re- sulted, last Monday, from playing the fool with a loaded pistol. It appears thata party of young men were stop- ping atthe house of Mrs. Wilson, a short distance out of the town, and one of their number was the possessor of a revolver. The young man remarked the weapon was badly in need of clean- ing and handled itin a careless way, after which he laid it on a table. Mrs. Wilson came into the room pre- paratory to getting their noon meal,and, spying the revolver on the table,remark- ed in a jocular way that she had a mind to shoot somebody. She first pointed the weapon at one of the men, then at the others, then at herself, and lastly at the girl, who was seated on the door- sill. To the horror of those present the weapon was dicharged, the ball strik- ing the girl in the eye and lodged in her brain, causing almost instant death. The young lady’s lover was present at the time of the shooting and his grief over the loss of his sweetheart was piti- ful in the extreme. Mrs. Wilson is almost distracted over the awful affair and is now under the care of a physician. The accident, if it may be so called, is the talk of the town and much sympa- thy is expressed for Mrs. Wilson. The coroner held an inquest and rendered a verdict in accordance with the above facts. A Vicious CoppeErmEAD.—Some days ago while Mrs, Knouse, of Tur- key valley, Huntingdon county, was gathering huckleberries, she was bitten on the ankle by a copperhead snake. She applied an onion at once, to draw the poison out, and continued gathering berries. While having a bunch of bushes in her hand another snake (pro- bably the same one that bit her) passed through her hand but did not bite her. A little dog she had with her was bitten, and the canine’s body swelled up as full as the hide could hold. —If you want furniture cheap, E. Brown, Jr’s is the place to get it.
