A Bowrp ROBBERY OF A FARMER.—
Another illustration of the danger of
keeping large sums of money at home
instead of depositing|it with some respon-
sible bank, is furnished by one of the
boldest and most successful robberies
ever perpetrated in Westmoreland coun-
ty, which happened in Sewickley town-
ship, Wednesday of last week. The
victim was John Carnahan, a prosper-
ous farmer, who in a short time was re-
lieved of $6,000 by an unknown thief,
The matter was kept secret until Friday
evening in hopes that some clue might
be obtained of the robber. Mr. Carna-
han was at work in a distant part of the
farm, and his housekeeper, us has been
her custom, was churning in the spring-
house, a short distance from the house,
and some time during her absence the
robber entered the house and going to
an upper room opened a bureau drawer
where the money was hidden and took
the entire amount, $6,000, and made
good his escape without leaving any
clue that would lead to his identity.

Case oF CHARLES CLEARY.—The
application for a new trial for Charles
Cleary, the Renovo youth who slew
officer Paul while in the discharge of
his duty, is being argued this afternoon
before Judge Mayer and his two asso-
ciates, Judges Crawford and Clark.
There was a mass of evidence read to
the court this forenoon, but nothing
new was developed.
Cleary looks well and apparently does
not feel much concerned. He has had
two trials thus far, and was convicted
each time in the first degree. He doubt-
less feels that the longer the delay 1n
his case the better his chances. What
the decision of the Court in the matter
of granting him a third trial will be, of
knows.—Lock Havon

formed, will return to Bellefonte from

him a hearty welcome.

——The fifty-fourth birth-day of Mr.
Riley Pratt, a prominent resident of
Unionville, was celebrated Thursday of
last week by a pleasant reception at his
residence in which a number of his
friends and neighbors participated.
What gave additional interest to the oc-
casion was that it was also the fiftieth
anniversary of Mrs. Pratt's birth-day.
A sumptuous dinner was served on the
lawn,
A Brutal TrAMP.—Harry Jodun,
who is engaged during the night at
Walker's lime kiln in Nittany Valley,
was the victim of a brutal assault last
night by a tramp who wandered into
the kiln sheds in the early part of the
evening. Mr. Jodun, in response to an
appeal from the tramp for something to
eat,gave him half of his midnight lunch,
and was afterwards assaulted and brutal-
ly beaten by the man whom he had be-
friended. Jodun was struck several
times on the head with a club and ren-
dered unconscious by the blows. When
he came to his senses the tramp had fled,
taking with him what tobacco and oth-
er articles Jodun had in his pocket, The
tramp is described as a large man with
a dark mustache.— Lock Haven Express.
——Mr. Robert Sechler, the mail
agent on the railroad between this place
and Lewisburg, has recently been over-
taken by sore afflictions. Last Friday
morning he was on his way to Altoona
to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs.
Margaret Ishler, and when he reached
Bellefonte he received a telegram an-
nouneing the death ot his little boy at
Lewisburg. On account of this sad news
he was unable to attend the funeral of
his sister, as he immediately returned
home.
A Poisonous PLANT.—The cucum-
ber vine, which grows so numerously in
most gardens, coming up in the term. of
a weed, is often trained as a trellis vine.
It is pretty but dangerous. Mrs. Laura
Boles, of Wilmore, on the Pennsylva-
nia railroad, was badly poisoned about
two weeks ago by handling a wild cu-
cumber vine which had been growing
over a window of her house, but had
fallen to the ground.
She had worked for several hours at
refastening it, and was immediately af-
terward taken violently sick. Her body
swelled to an alarming size, and white
blisters appeared on every part of her
person. It was feared for some time
that she would not survive, but she is
now out of danger.
——Our good friend W. C. Heinle,
esq., of this place, has determined to en-
ter the Life Insurance business in earn-
est, and will hereafter present to the peo-
ple of Centre and Clearfield counties
the Northwestern Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, of Milwaukee, Wis. It
is one of four of the largest companies in
the United States, and is purely Ameri-
cau. While we take no sides with any
one in the insurance business, yet from
the past history and record of Mr.
Heinle we are satisfied that he will pre-
sent this company to the people of his
district fairly and honorably. Since he
has been in the fire insurance business he
bas earned the reputation of standing
close to his policy holders, and every
loss that his companies sustained was
always promptly and liberally settled.
We congratulate the Northwestern
Insurance Co., as well as the people of
Mr. Samuel Musser, an old citi-
zen living in the vicinity of Penn Hall,
died last Saturday evening at the ad-
vanced age of 79 years, He was an ex-
cellent citizen and an honest and suc- | the districts, that the company is repre-
cessful farmer. Deceased was a brother | sented by a man who so far has filled
of the late Dr. P. M. Musser, of Aarons- , every position held by him with the
burg. strictest fidelity,
Court PRoCEEDINGS.- -The regular
August term of- the Centre county
court convened on Monday,the forenoon
being taken up with such preliminary
business as the reports of constables, m o-
tions by attorneys and swearing in of
the Grand Jury, Thomas B. Potter
was appointed foreman of the latter.
The commonwealth cases were then
taken up as follows :
Com. vs. Wm. Raymond. Larceny ;
presecutor, Hayes Schenck. The defend-
ant was the alleged gypsy, who was ar-
rested last May on the charge of having
stolen a buggy, lap robe and harness
from the prosecutor at Howard. He
was subsequently arrested near Coburn
and committed to jail. Wm. Gray,
esq., did his best in defending him, but
the jury considered him guilty and
brought in a verdict to that effect. He
was remanded to jail to await sentence.
Com. vs, Powell Garick. Larceny.
The charge against the detendent, who
is a Hungarian, was that of stealing
clothes from Abraham Robinson, at
Snow Shoe. Notwithstanding a zealous
defence by Lawyer Quigley he was
found guilty and remanded to jail for |
sentence.
Com. vs. P. B. Swartz. Forgery.
This was the case that was tried at the
April sessions and the defendant found
guilty, but a new trial was granted.
Robert Confer was the prosecutor, the
charge being that the defendant had
forged a supplemental contract in re-
gard to the harvesting and delivery of
grain, Confer having been a tenant of
Swartz. The jury sustained the verdict
of last April, returning the defendant
guilty. Sentence not pronounced when
we went to press.
Com. vs. Charles Miller. Assault and
battery: G. H. Hall, prosecutor. Ver-
dict not guilty and costs equally divid-
ed between prosecutor and defendant.
Com. vs. Isaac R. Willians. Charge
embezzlement of road funds. Prosecu-
tor, S. H. Kunes. Verdict, guilty.
Sentence was suspended provided the
defendant repays the amount before
Nov. court.
Com. vs. Frank Brown, of Moshan-
non, f. and b., pleaded guilty and usuaj !
sentence imposed.
Com. vs. Daniel Brent. The defen-
dant, a colored boy who became intoxi-
|
cated and flourished a razor at the depot |
and cut Charles Wabble, was convicted |
of carrying concealed weapons.
Com. vs. J. F. Karsher, book-keeper
at the Sandy Ridge brick works, charg.
ed with selling liquor without license.
Verdict guilty.
The grand Jury reported that thir-
teen bills were eonsidered, of which four
were ignored, Repairs were recom-
mended at the county jail, the court
house roof, in the Prothonotary’s office,
and the removal of the water closets at
the rear of the court house.
K. or G. E. ReuNION.—The Golden
Eagles, who took their flight from this
place Thursday of last week, for Hunt-
ingdon, seem to have spread their wings
in that direction with good effect, as
they captured the reunion of next year,
which is to be held in Bellefonte. It
may be taken for granted that no effort
will be spared to make it a big affair.
Bellefonte also won the next prize, in
the election of Dr. Hoy as President.
The contest for the location of the next
reunion was between Bellefonte and
Osceola, but the Iatter place didn’t seem
th have any show at all. The golden
plumaged knights who went from here
to attend the Huntingdon demonstra-
tion were, Dr. J. E. Ward, Dr. H. K,
Hoy, Dr. J. W. Hafer, James Alexan-
der, Elmer Straub, James ;Noll, David
Foreman, William Dawson,}: Samuel
Shirk, Gaylor Morrison, David Barlet,
Newton Gibson, Ottis Hile, John Muf-
flefinger, Isaac Dawson, M. M. Linsey,
John Nighthkart, C. H. McCoy, J. H.
Cole, John Anderson, Abe Hamilton,
G. R, Hughes, R. S. Brouse, L. H.
Wirn, William H. Noll, William Hog-
gart, Anthony DsArment, Raymond
Karstetter, John Eisle, Ed McGinley,
Robert Corl, Jr., and E. E. Ardery.
The parade is said to have been one
of the finest that has taken place in
Huntingdon for a great many years, and
that 1t was far superior to the Fourth of
July parade held there this year. There
was between one thousand and twelve
hundred Knights in line, and it certain-
ly was a grand sight, as nearly all of
them were uniformed and carried
swords.
SEVEN DEATHS IN SIXTEEN MONTHS.
—A strange fatality has attended those
connected with the banks of Tyrone,
during the past sixteen months. In
that time seven deaths have occurred
among those engaged in banking orin
their tamilies, as follows: April 24,

——Itis said that in some localities
an insect threatens to consume a large
portion of the buckwheat crop. It isa
small insect which is making sad havoc
in the crop. It eats the foliage, and of
course the grain will not mature. Buck-
wheat has herefore escaped damage from
insects, butit seems that its time has
now come.

to 6. The game was interesting through-

nice ball and the Bellefonte people will
be glad to welcome their return to our
{ town.
——On Saturday afternoon the Cen-
tre Social Club met the Bellefonte Base
Ball team on the Diamond at the Glass
Works and succeeded in making them
hustle to win a ten inning game. x The
score was 8 to 5 and the first nine can
only claim the victory through the
errors of the Centre Club boys, as they
had sixteen to their creditat the end of
the game.
——During the past six weeks hun-
dreds of sheep have been killed in the
southern end of Westmoreland county.
In every case the slaughter has been
attributed to dogs, but it now appears
that the wholesale killing has beenjdone
by wolves. Several packs of these
fierce brutes have been seen by hun-
ters lately on the ridges in the neigh-
borhood of Mechanicsburg. Altraveler
passing over that wild mountain the
other day was followed for milesfby a
pack of the wolves and only kept them
back by frequently firing his pistol.
A HEAVY STorRM,—According to the
Millheim Journal a very heavy rain
and wind storm passed over that section
of Pennsvalley, Tuesday the 18th, Wm.
Stover's barn west of Millheim was un-
roofed. Whole orchards were ruined
by the wind breaking down the trees or
tearing them up by the roots. The loss
of fruit will be very great on account of
this storm. Corn fields were leveled to
to the ground and the crop considerably
damaged. Hail fell in large quantities
and of thesize of small hickory nuts,
breaking in many windows that were
located in the path of the storm. In
this section of the county httle damage
was done, except in the eastern part of
the Bald Eagle valley where the storm
did some damage.
FruiTLEss TERMINATION OF A
WooprPILE CoURTsHIP.—-Levi Putt, of
Puttstown, Huntingdon county, while
traveling in this couaty a few weoks
ago, stopped at Aunt Polly Stickler’s,
in Bedford township, to rest his weary
bones and get a cool drink of water. He
there met for the first time Miss Louisa
Mower. Itissaid Mr. Putt walked with
Miss Mower from the house to the wood-
pile, when he perched himself upon the
topmost log and, after declaring he lov-
ed her, asked the girl to be his wife.
Strange to relate, Louisa accepted, al-
though she had never seen the gay and
festive widower before. Putt soon de-
parted, and after a brief correspondence
the wedding day was set for August 11,
when about fifty assembled at Aunt
Polly’s to see the romantic couple mar-
ried, butthe gay deceiver, the wood
pile hero, did not arrive. However
Aunt Polly had prepared a big dinner,
and Photographer Weston captured a
picture of the assembled multitude, but
Rev. Fleck did not tie the knot, because,
as the intended bride jocularly remark-
ed, “Mr. Putt did not “putt’’ in an ap-
pearance.” — Bedford Inquirer.
EE EES
——A Philipsburg man told a strang-
eronthe T. & C. traina few evenings
ago that Osceola is a village of only 500
population. Thereupon the editor of
the Osceola Leader waxes indignant and
suggests sundry possibilities in regard to
jealousy of neighboring towns. Osceola
has over 2000 people within its limits.
SINGULAR DEATH oF A Horsg.—A
horse belonging to Mrs. Sarah Butler
broke loose from a hitching post in front
of Gray's Store, on Thursday morning

set, throwing the horse down. The
horse’s head came in contact with the
stone street crossing, with such violence
that he died instantly. She wagon was
badly smashed.— Philipsburg Ledger.

ones.
PENN'S Cave Camp.—There has
been a camp meeting going on at the
Penn’s creek cave, \below Centre Hall,
but it appears that on Sunday last there
were more visitors in the cave than at
the services. Not less than six hundred
people are reported as going into the
cavern and the two boats were kept
busy all day at 25 cents a head, thus
filling the pockets of the proprietor with
filthy lucre. It is said that a woman
and child fell out of one of the boats
during its passage through the cave and
were rescued with great difficulty.

AN Atrocious CRIME.—A dispatch
from Hastings, Cambria county, dated
25th inst., says that yesterday morning a
fiendish crime was committed in the
vicinity of Carrolltown. A man named
Lewis, who drives a team on the work
at the tunnel on the new railroad near
Carrolltown, overtook a Jittle girl nam-
ed Myers on the road between Carroll-
town and Hastings and offered her a
rideon his wagon. She got in and
when they reached a lonely part of the
road the brute took her from the wagon
and assaulted her. Her screams brought
a neighboring farmer to the scene and
the villain was caught in the act. He
fled, but was caught the same night and
taken to jail at Ebensburg. The victim
is only 13 years of age and is in a seri-
ous condition.
