Three Banks Go Under!
The First National of Clearfield. the
Houtzdale Bank and the Philips-
burg Banking Cmpany close
their Doors. W.ld Rumors
afloat, But Things Bright-
ening up.
The First National Bank of Clearfield
closed its doors on Wednesday morning
of last week and shortly after its suspen-
sion a notice that that bank had also sus-
pended was tacked on the front door of
the Houtzdale bank. The Clearfield bank
was forced to suspend on account of a
continued “run” which began last Dec-
ember when the Wallace failure came
so near wrecking business in that sec-
tion, and was helped along by a family
trouble between the president of the
bank and his brother-in-law Boynton,
who prior to that time was a large stock"
holder, but after selling his stock is said
to have used hisinfluence to cripple the
credit of the institution. The Houtz-
dale branch closed because 'W. H. Dill
who was president of both concerns,
had taken $80,000 of its deposit to meet
the demands made on his Clearfield
bank, and failed to return the collater-
al. When Cashier John B. McGrath,
of Houtzdale heard of the failure at
Clearfield, and realized the situation of
his own bank, he is said to have fainted
and has been sick ever since. The
Houtzdale bank was doing a prosperous
business under the excellent manage-
ment of Mr. McGrath, who stood high
in the estimation of the people of that vic-
inity, and would have had no trouble, but
for the withdrawal of its deposits by its
president, to tide over affairs in Clear-
field.
President Dill of the defunct banks,
and upon whose shoulders will rest the
responsibility for the disasters growing
our of the failures, whether he was alone
to blame or not, isan ex-Method ist
Minister and is now in jail. The dis-
covery by Bank Examiner Miller of
what he conceived to be a false entry of
$10,000, made July 30, and another and
another of the sams kind of $30,000,
made only the day before the bank
closed its door, led to the arrest of Dill,
on information sworn out by the bank
examiner.
He was arrested immediately after dis-
covery of the $10,000 entry, end his bail
fixed at $20,000. While his friends
were getting the bond in shape, the other
entry was discovered and bail was then
refused until United States Commis-
sioner Ambrose and United States At-
torney Lyon should arrive. These gen-
tlemen it is said after an examination of
the books, pronounced the arrest as ill
advised, and without warrant, Dill
still remains in Jail however, having
the parlor of that institution to himselt,
where he is attended by his wife and
son, About Houtzdale where a large
portion of the deposits were mads up of
the earnings of workingmen the excite-
ment grew to fever pitch, and fears of a
riot and threats of lynching were fre-
quent. The Huns and Slavs, burned
Dill in effigy, and were only restraiued
from taking. possession of the bank, by
an increased police force.
The liabilities of the Clearfield bank
will aggregate $150,000, and although
it was first thought that these assets out-
side of the stock were nominally noth-
ing itis now begining to look as if it
will be able to pay dollar for dollar, to
depositors although some of the stock-
holders will loose heavily.
The Houtzdale bank will be able to
pay fifty cents on the dollar, without the
return of the $30,000 from the Clearfield
house, and with.that amount back, will
in the end meet every cent of its obliga-
tions.
ANOTHER COMPELLED TO CLOSE
A disp'tch from Philipsburg on
Monday morning says: This quiet lit-
tle city was electrified to-day by the
posting of the following ominous an-
nouncement on the doors of the Philips-
ipsburg Bank, supposed to be one of the
strongest private institutions in this part
of the State :
“The continued demand ot our depos-
itors is greater than we can meet at once.
We deem it best for all their interests to
suspend payment and liquidate our af-
fairs, We firmly belieye we can pay
every depositor in ful
O. Perry Jonks, Cashier.
Ever since the Clearfield bank closed |
and the Houtzdale bank failed, the
Philipsburg institution has experienced
an unprecedented run. The miners and
their friends first took alarm from re-
low in the crash, though it is stated the
local bank will pay every dollar.
Latest advices from the three towns
state that business is beginning to pick
up, and that the outlook since the ex-
citement has began to die out is not
nearly so discouraging as it first appear-
ed. Cashier McGrath of Houtzdale
and Jones of Philipsburg have the full
sympathy of the people of their respec-
tive communities, and will have the full
support of the business interests in their
efforts to straighten outand square up
their matters. The feeling that seemed
so bitter against president Dill, at first
has changed m aterially and those who
were bitterest in their denunciations of
him are now expressing the hope that he
may yet come out all right, and are re-
membering some of the many kind acts
he is to be credited with throughout the
section, his misfortune affects.
——Ed J. Frysinger, of Chester, Pa.,
offer his job printing office for $500
cash as states that the business of the
office has rected him §1.000 a year.
——1It is rumored that the Houtzdale
schools have been compelled to close
owing to a lack of funds with which to
pay the teachers. Everything went
with the defunct bank and tha school-
board is bankrupt.
——The 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry
Association will hold their 14th annual
reunion at Troy, Bradford county, Pa.,
on Tuesday and Wednesday October
27th and 28th. Reduced rail-road fare
can be had by applying to George F}
Steahline, Orwigsburg, Schuylkill
county, Pa.
——A Tally-ho party which left
here for the cave, on Friday afternoon
last, came home seated in the bottom of
an ordinary farm wagon. Their coach
broke down on top of the mountain and
they were compelled to take the big
wagon in order to get home to catch
the 5-20 train, as several ot the party
were Huntingdon people who had come
over for the Business Men’s Carnival on
Thursday evening.
——George Gill, a young fellow who
lives in Tyrone, was returned to the
Huntingdon Reformatory one day last
week. He had been out on a six
months parole for good behavior, and
kept himself straight until he had but
twenty seven moredays to serve, when
he would have been free, but his temp-
tations were too strong and he got drunk
thus returning himself to the Reforma-
tory for another year. The Tyrone Base
Ball club is out a catcher by the opera-
tion.
A REGULAR MoviNg.— We can hard-
ly call it a burglary, buton Monday
night theives entered John McCartney’s
house, on Marsh Creek, and took away
fitteen dollars worth of dishes, twenty
four gallons of apple butter, seven gal-
lons of peach butter, all the canned
goods in the house and numerous other
articles. Some one must have been
married lately, out in that community,
and wants to start housekeeping or per-
haps a new store is in the wind. No
trace of the movers has been found.
OLEWINE--BoTToRF.--At noon yes-
terday Mr. John Olewine, of this place,
was married to Miss Lizzie Bottorf.
The ceremony was solomnized at the
‘brida’s home near Lemont and a very
happy affair it was. Mr. Olewine has
been connected with the Jas. Harris &
Co. hardware concern for years and is
one of Bellefonte’s steadiest and most re-
liable young men. His bride is the
daughter of Mr. Jacob Bottorf and for
two years wus a teacher in the Belle-
fonte schools. She is bright and attrac-
tive and will make a most excellent
help-mate. Oar congratulations.
AN AvrooNa WEDDING. —A quiet
wedding took place at the 5th Avenus
M. E. parsonage, on Thursday evening,
: Oct. 1st, when Rav. R. H. Colburn‘*said

rock and Ida O. Deschner one. The
groom comes of a family of more than
ordinary standing and is an .xcellent
young man while his bride is from

and is a most estimable young
lady. They will make their future
home on the caracr at Gth Aveaue and

are worthy and have the congratula-
tions of their many friends,
A HaxpsoMre VILLAGE Pos7-OF-
FICE. —It is seldom that onesees such
ports fiom Houtzdale, and began an op-
en onsiuught on the local bank, gather- |
ing there in line and steadily drawing
their deposits of $360 to $1.000 without
a word of comment from either side.
The bank stood this pressure easly, and
paid out thousands within the last three
banking days. Then the heavy deposi-
tors took fright and began a quiet check-
ing of their balances, which resulted in
the announcement to-day.
The trouble was caused by the fact
that Jonathan Boynton, president of the
Pilipsburg Bank, had loaned his son-
in-law Dill, now in jail, $20,000 a few
deys ago to pull the Clearfield and
Houtzdale banks through, and when
these failed a panic resulted hare. Pri-
convenience and nicety in an ordinary
couniry post-oiiice as is displayed in the
office through which the residents of
State College and community transact
vheir wail business. The room is a nica
large one, centrally located, and papered
and painted in the latest fashion, aad is
fitted out with the Yale system of lock
boxes and receivers. The whole thing
is in antique brass, ash and glass and
presents a very attractive appearance
indeed. Uncle Sam is indebted to
his able officinl Mr. Jos. Mitchell for
this admirable improvement in his mail
service and Mr. Mitchell is to be con-
gratulated on the good taste he hus dis-
played in fixing up the office. It is in
fact the neatest and prettiest office in
the county and that is saying a great
vale enterprise in this region is paralyz-
deal.

Tre COLLEGE Boys Praying Foor-
Barv.--The foot-ball season is now on,
and in consequence colleges are getting
their representative teams trained down
dent body is watching with eager eyes
every mark of improvement that is made.
Centre county’s Institution, in past
years, has not done much at the game
prefering rather to retain a well merited
standing in base ball, but the prospects
for her placing a winning eleven be-
tween the goals this fall is very promis-
ing indeed and Stats College students
are very sanguine that their college will
take the championship of the State
Foot-ball League, which has been formed
between Haverford, Swarthmore, Frank -
lin and Marshall of Lancaster, Dick-
inson of Carlisle and Bucknell of Lew-
isburg. Every effort is being put forth
to get the team in the pink of condition
and thus far the work" has been success-
ful and entirely satisfactory to those
who have the eleven in charge.
line this fall that she has ever put out
before. Read at center has never been
in such fine form, while Hildebrand and
Dowler, his right and left guards, are
bound to win. Hile and Cartwright, as
tackles, are doing great work and their
features of the season’s games. The ends,
Kaittle and Mattern, are both guarded
by new men on the team, but they are
showing up picely in practice and good
work from them is expected. Back of
the line Aull, Fay, Taylor and Ather-
ton, a whole team in themselves, will
represent the college. Aull at quarter
is quick and cool headed whilein Fay,
and Taylor, the halfs, he has two fleet
runners with just enough weight to
make them sure tackles. Atherton at
full back has always played a pheno-
menal game and is leading right off in
practice.
The two practice games last week
one with Lafayette in wbich the Coliege
won, 14 to 4, and the other with Lehigh
University in which she lost, 24 to 2,
are the best evidence that the boys are
well trained and up to the game. If
we were weak at all it was on the ends
and, after Atherton was hurt, at full.
Those places must be strengthened and
we most sincerely hope that Athertou’s
injury will not prove serious enough to
prevent his playing in the championship
games. On both Friday and Saturday
the team more than fulfilled expecta-
tions—with the exception of the three
points mentioned, and we do not mean
that they are lamentably weak by any
odds— but it would be well for the man-
agement to spend extra time with the
ends and a sub-full, for it is well known
that every college in the League will
resort to the play around the ends, ex-
cept Franklin and Marshall and Buck-
nell. We can meet them with confi-
dence in our formidable centre, but
when Dickinson cones with her tricky
end playing we: ... be prepared to
meet it also.
A possible change in the team is in
Haley's taking Cartwright’s place on the
line. In this event Cartwright will go
to Fay’s place at half and Fay will be
subbed. Thechange would bs a wise
one.
The season will open on the 17th,
when Swarthmore will be played at
Swarthmore, and until then every one
will be in a state of suspense to know
the exact standing ot the eleven as com-
pared with one of its rivals.
Tae Bowers Re-uxtoN.—On the
25th of September a very enjoyable
family reunion was held at the residencs
of Mr. Emanuel Bowers, in Curtin
township, this county. It was the oe-
casion of Mr. M. Bowers, the grandfath-
er, having reached the 88th mile stone
of his life and he celebrated his birthday
by loading a load of wood unassisted.
The old gentleman is the father of four-
teen children, four of whom, with their
mother, are now d:ad and seventy nine
grandchildren, with eighty-seven great
grand children, swells the thelroll of his
posterity to an unusual! size. The child-
ren living in this county are George W.,
Thomas, Jas. T., A. C., Mrs. Elizabeth
Funk, Mrs. N. J. Delong and Mrs.
Sarah Neess. The others are Joseph ot
Beech Creek, Mrs, Mary Fulton of Hun-
tingdoa, Indiana and John C, Bowers, £
Aberdeen, Washington, wha sent his re-
grets at not baing able to be there. A
bountiful repast was served and appro-
priate services held atter which every
one turaed in to have a jolly time and
it was had. The merry party departed
wishing old Mr. Bowers many returns
of his unaiversury.
A Busixess CuaNgeE.—Mr, James
McCulley, dv, has purchased from W.
E. Gheen, the grocery store in the Mec-
Clain Block, next door to the WaATCH-
MAN office. Jim is an icdustrious and
careful young man, with a thorough
knowledge of the business, and will con-
duct the store in a manner that will not
fail to please all who favor him with
their patronage. He solicits a share of

faithfully these officials cariied out their
orders let them cross the bridge any
pleasant evening from seven to ten

of a police force which fails to do police
