DETERMINED To DIE.—Some weeks
ago we published an account of Herbert
Spencer Darwin’s having stolen three
horses from a Williamsport stable, and
subsequently of his arrest and incarcera-
tion. He claims to be a linial descen-
dant of the great english naturalist, but
his somewhat peculiar actions have led
to the pelief that he is not altogether
sane.
The Gazette and Bulletin, of Will-
iamsport gives the following account of
one of his determined efforts to end his
life : That rather mysterious individual,
Herbert Spencer, now in jail awaiting
trial on the charge of horse stealing, ap-
parently has a desire to end his life in a
sensational manner, his last attempt
having been made last evening. Ever
since Spencer’s suicidal traits commenc-
ed to display themselves, strict watch
has been kept over him for fear that he
would cut short his existence, and one
ortwo men have always had an eye to
his every movement. :
As Spencer’s health required more
comfortable quarters than that afford ed
by the prison cells, he had been removed
to the hospital room on the second
floor. Last evening one of the prisoners,
Charles Donley, who was watching
Spencer, came down stairs to assist in
sweeping out the hallway on the first
floor. When he returned to the hospi-
tal room about 8 o'clock he found the
door locked and Spencer refused to admit
him.
Donley at once informed Sheriff
Michael that the door was locked, and
the latter hastened to the spot. The
dooris a wooden one, and With one
heavy kick the sheriff broke it loose
from its fastenings, Spencer was walk-
irg about the room shaking his left arm
and scattering blood in every direction.
He carried a bloody looking instrument
in his hand that had the appearance of
being a kife, and he threatened every
one who approached him. Dr. Connelly
was called in, and with his assistance
Spencer was quieted and a piece of glass,
about five inches long, was taken away
from him.
He had procured this glass by break-
ing a pane in the transom over the
door, and with it cut a rather ugly
looking gash in his right forearm. Dr.
Connelly bandaged the wound but
Spencer threatened to tear the bandages
off again.
Tom Mann, another prisoner,fwas de-
tailed to share the labor of watching
Spencer through the night, and he and
Donly were left with the prisoner pa-
tient. About 9.80 o’clock last night Sher-
iff Michael was again summoned to the
hospital room, and he found Spencer
with another ugly piece of glass in his
possession. This was taken away from
him and a search instituted. Upon a
window sill two or three more pieces of
glass were found. These were removed.
Spencer had evidently procured them all
from the same place, and it was likely
his intention to prepare for an emergen-
cy ; if he was frustrated in one attempt
he would make another.
GorroN’s MinsTrRELS.—T he Waver-
ly,N. Y., Daily Free Press, of Sept. 1,
says: Gorton’s Minstrels gave an ex-
cellent entertainment in the Opera
House, Monday night, to a large au-
dience. The interest awakened with
the opening musical feature, introduced
in the first part. The troupe is a really
meritorious one and does not travel on
its reputation with a few ‘‘dummies”
and a job lot of ‘‘old furniture:”” They
are wide awake and abreast of the
times. The specialities were all good
being a departure’ from the old Rip Van
Winkle rut traveled by so many burnt
cork artists. Charles H. Larkin’s solo
“Loves old Sweet song,” was rendered
in a manner that awakened a slumber-
ing memory of the days of “Auld Lang
Syne’ in the hearts of his attentive au-
dience and elicted sincere and well mer-
ited applause. The club swinging by
Dewitt Cook was a rare treat to all who
are fond of athletics. Johnston and
Ward’s “On Guard’ is a novelty in a
military sense of the word, and we
would not be surprised to hear of John-
ston drawing a pension long before his
hair is gray. “The picture that is turn-
ed toward the wall” as sung by Eugene
Klliott merited and received a hearty
encore. Garman’s Opera House, Dec.
5th, 1891.
His First Nigar iN TWENTY-FIVE
YEARrs.—It is a singular fact that in all
the times Mr. William Wolfe, the John
Wanamaker of Centre Hall, has been
in Bellefonte he has not spent a night
in town for 25 years, but he was caught
on Tuesday night when an unusual
press of court business compelled him to
take a bed at the Bush House. Now
since the ice has been broken, and no
direful result experienced, we suppose he
will favor us oftener by spending a night
in town.

— With the Nail Works, practically

down, many think forall time, and the
Bellefonte Furnace out of blast one
would think that the measure of this
locality’s misfortunes was about full.
But things are never so bad that they
cannot be worse, and Tuesday’s Phila-
delphia Times brought the news that
the “National Heat and Power Com-
pany,” another organization which has
bean making experimental tests of a
new gas produzing process down at the
Nail Works and in the success of which
some of our citizens are largely interest-
ed, is now in trouble. The New York
correspondent of the Times gives the
facts connected with this enterprise and
the trouble that threatens it in the fol-
lowing statementunder date of Dec-

opinion that about 50 per cent. can be
paid from its resources without any aid
from Clearfield. The amount that the

upon the New York market through the aid
of magnificent offices and alluring prospec
tuses, The plaintiff is the well known William
McMahon, who has just succeeded in tieing
up Boston $1,000,000 worth of securities belong-
ing to James M. Waterbury, the president of
the Twine Trust, as & result of some secret
promoting which he claims to have done in
the efforts made by a combination of wealthy
men ‘o gain control of the underground rail-
way franchise of the metropolis. His latest
suit has been brought in the Philadelphia
Common Pleas Court against Ex-Governor
James A. Beaver, Ex-Adjutant General Daniel
H. Hastings and others, representing the Na-
tional Heat and Power Company. His counsel
is Mayer Sulzberger and the matter has pro-
grossed so far that already a day has been fix
ed for trial.
“McMahon claims that the National Heat
and Power Company was organized in Penn-
sylvania with headquarters at Bellefonte with
a capitalization of $1,000,000. Its basis of exis-
tence was the possession of a method whereby
gas could be cheaply made and practically ap-
plied for puddling iron, re-heating and other
manufacturing purposes.”
“The company removed its headquarters to
this city, with the view to induce capitalists to
take an interest in a developement of the in-
vention. The capital stock was increased to
$5,000,000. and the services of McMahon, who
is known as a bold and audacious promoter,
were secured as boomer-in-chief. A really
magnificent suite of offices in the Manhattan
building, 40 Wall street, were leased and fur-
nished in a style that was fairly dazzling.
Handsome Turkish rugs covered the floors,
silk tapestry curtains and portieres draped
windows and communicating doors. The fur-
niture was of thzmost expensive character,
In these apartments McMahon was installed |
during 1889 and 1890 and in them he practiced
his wiles upon the big financiers of the me-
tropolis.
From the gorgeously appointed offices of the
National Heat and Power Company McMahon
invited capitalists to invest money in the
Pennsylvania corporation, and he claims that
he was highly successful. He alleges that he
induced Alfred Sully, the tamous millionaire ;
0. L. Jones, another millionaire,and the practi-
cal controller of the gravel roofing business of
the country ; and two other wealthy and influ-
ential men, to agree to furnish all the money
that was required in the enterprise, provided
they were given a practical demonstration of
the utility and the economy of the invention.”
“The demonstration took place in Bellefonte,
where the New Yorkers who attended were en-
tertained by General Beaver. It is alleged
‘that the demonstration was not successtul, in
that it was not presented in a practical form.
Certain it is that the New Yorkers were not
satisfied. Further practical demonstrations
were promised, but never took place, and fin-
ally Mr. Sully and Mr. Jones and their asso-
ciates refused to invest any money in the en-
terprise. Some time after this the National
Heat and Power Company abandoned the New
York financial field, presumably in disgust,
and restored its head quarters to Bellefonte.”
“Notwithstanding the fact that the Pennsyl-
vanians interested in the company are wealthy
and influential men, McMahon swears in his
complaint that he personally advanced moneys
to some cf those connected with the corpora-
tion as individuals and that he also advanced
money to the company itself to carry out ex-
periments and in partial payment of the rent
of the magnificent offices in the Manhattan
Building. It is for these amounts that he ‘has
brought suit. McMahon is like a bull in a
china shop when he is started on a rampage
and he prornises to make these legal proceed-
ing very interesting.”
The foregoing is the story as told by
the correspondent of the Times. What
truth there may be in the statement
that suit has been entered for the recov-
ery of money advanced by McMahon,
we know not, but we do know that the
experimental plant that has been in
operation at this place for some time,
has been doing the most satisfactory
work, and gives promise, to those who
have invested in it, the most abundant
returns. The suit story may be all cor-
rect, but all the same the Gas Machine
is going to prove a success,
——LAFAYETTE'S new President, Dr.
E. D. Warfield, favors us with a copy
of the adresses that were delivered at his
recent inauguration. He makes a bold
and earnest plea for the introduction,
retention and assertion of the distinctive-
ly Christian element in alX grades of edu-
cation. His hopeful view of the tendencies
and aims in the teaching given in such
institutions as Lafayette College promi-
ses well for his success in building up
that college, both by his administrative
power, and his gifts as a ready lecturer
and an enthusiastic teacher in fullest
sympathy with the buoyancy of youth,
The methods of teaching so ably employ-
ed at Easton bespeak a hearty appre-
ciation of the needs of our entire school
system, and assure us of the skill and
zeal of the large and atle Faculty of
Lafayette College.

—— We aresorry to learn that Mr.
Simon Loeb has determined to close out
his business and remove to Philadel-

be the withdrawal from Bellefoate busi-

intown. In 1860 Mr. Loeb began life
as an errand boy in the store of Isaac
May, on Allegheny street, and from
that date to the present time he has
been constantly connected with the mer-
cantile business in Bellefonte. His de-
parture we know will be regretted by
all who have had business transactions
with him, but he has made up his mind
to go and the closing out sale he is now
conducting, offers opportunities not of-
ten extended our people.

Court PRocEEDINGS. -—The regular
term of the November court reconvened,
on Monday morning, at nine o'clock and
was compelled to adjourn until after-
noon because none of the cases were
ready. The case of Lydia Keller vs. J.
R. Runkle’s administrators was taken
up first and occupied the attention of
the court until Wednesday morning.
It appears that the plaintiff had been
employed to take care of old Mr. Run-
kle and her work was of a very confin-
ing and disagreaable kind hence her
claim for $5 per week. The jury re-
turned a verdict in her {favor amounting
to $1014.25 which gave general satisfac-
tion, though Love and Hewes, attorneys
for defendants,will move for a new trial:
In the case ot Cunningham & Co., vs.
Mr. M. Leathers, the jury rendered a
verdict of $1608.15 in favor of plaintiff.
In the case of Mr. Scholl vs. M. M.
Musser concerning the title of property
supposed to belong to Thos. Scholl the
jury returned a verdict in favor of plain-
tif: It was a test case and elicited

A BriLnLiANT ReceEPTION.—The
fall reception given by the class of '92,
in the Armory of the Pennsylvania
State College, on last Friday night, was
undoubtedly the most brilliant social
event of the season. The great drill
hall of the cadets was artistically draped
in College colors, and tropical plants and
stacked musketry added but an additions
al charm to the beautiful scene. Stopper
and Fisk’s celebrated orchestra furnish-
ed both the dance and concert music
and the dreamy strains of their beauti-
ful waltzs sent many a light hearted
couple gliding over the polished floors of
the hall, Twenty three numbers wera
danced and then the gay throng disper-
sed carrying with it the remembrance
of one of the prettiest and most enjoy-
able receptions ever given] at the Col-
lege. Though nota success financial-
ly; in every other way it reflected great
credit on the class and its committee.
AMoNG THE SIick.—Miss McBride

Waar Ovur-sipers THINK.—Me-
Calmont & Co., lime dealers and manu-
facturers of agricultural implements, in
Bellefonte, have thirty-eight men work-
ing for them and to each man they pre-
sented a fine big gobbler for his thanks-
giving dinner. That's just one of that
company’s many clever acts and it re-
dounds to their interest in the long run.
