risburg
——The time approacheth for the
22nd annual masquerade ball of the Lo-
gan Steam Fire Engine company, and
the boys are making elaborate prepara-
tions for it.
——Mrs. Mary Jacobs, whose hus-
band, the late George Jacobs, was one of
the most prominent members of the
Juniata county bar, has been visiting
her sister Mrs F. W. Crider for several
days.
The entertainment given by the
Boston Concert company, in the Pres-
byterian chapel, on Friday evening, de-
lighted a fairsized audience and 1n ev-
ery way fulfilled the expectations of the
most sanguine.
Prof. Ellsworth, the horse trainer
left town on Friday and his class, when
it assembled in the old Logan Machine
‘Works, found no professor. They had
learned too fast we presume and their
instructor thought further lessons un-
necessary.
Ever since the Carnival and the
paying off of the Y. M. C. A. debt we
have been promised that the gymnasium
would be opened, but if things drag on
as slowly as they have been doing, the
winter will have gone before the place
is ready for use.
Evecy-one in this community re-
members Henry Herman, the merchant
and manager who dealt with our peo-
ple back in the seventies. Well he
moved from here to Tyrone aad 1s now
leaving the latter place for Pueblo, Col.
The Tyrone business men gave him a
big banquet,on Tuesday night, in honor
of his departure.
——The singing class, which Prof,
‘W.T. Meyer has been conductng in the
Presbyterian chapel, for the past two
months, has closed for the present. The.
training received by those who attended
is said to have been very valuable and
it is altogether probable that another
class willl be organized ere long.
—— Bellefonters will be interested in
knowing that Mrs Jessie C. Laurie, of
Philipsburg, was married to J. Bdward
Horn,on last Friday afterncon. Rev.
J. H. McGarrah pronounced the zere-
mony, in the presenceof a few intimate
friends, after which the couple departed
on a southern tour. The groom is a
civil engineer and isone of Philipsburg’s
most promising young men.
‘We are pleased to learn that Mr.
Harry Green has secured a position in
the Moshannon bank, at Philipsburg.
Harry is alive, energetic young man
and will do himself credit inthe new
field. Fora number of years he was
connected with the Bellefonte Glass
‘Works and the reputation he gained,
while with that company, for careful-
ness and attention to his employer's in-
terests, was enviable indeed.
——The Young Men’s Temperance
Club,of Bellefonte,met on Thursday eve-
ning and elected the following officers
for the ensuing year: President J.
Linn Harris; Vice President Abram
Hamilton ; Secretary, Isaac Under-
wood ; Assistant Secretary, John Dun-
lap ; Treasurer, Elmer Straub ; Execu-
tive Committee, James Harris ; Chair-
man, Samuel B. Shafferand C. F. Cook.
The organization is in a very flourish-
ing condition and is doing an excellent
work among the young men of our
town.
VIA
A SINGULAR Casg,—'Tis seldom one
hears of a man living for any length of
time with a broken back yetsuch was
the case with James Johnston, an em-
ployee of the Beech Creek railroad com-
pany, who had his spinal column brok-
en, by being thrown from a hand car,
last summer. He was taken to the cot-
tage hospital, at Philipsburg, where he
was made as comfortable as possible, the
attending physicians having no other
thought than that he would die inn
few aays. Johnston lingered on and, to
the surprise of everyone who had heard
of the case, did not die until last Satur-
day.
‘When the hospital authorities
found that the man had no
idea of dying they had him removed to
his home, which is away down along the
Moshannon creek, below Kylertown.
There the unfortunate fellow laid and
heroically bore the excruciating pain
until death relieved his sufferings. The
family is very poor andit was neces-
sary for the district poor overseers to ar-
range for the burial. Accordingly an
undertaker was sent for and when he gr-
rived with the coffin it was found that
there was no way for him to get it over
to the little house, which is perched
away up in a dosolate spot on the lett
side of the creek, except by a narrow
and exceedingly shaky foot-bridge.
Nothing daunted the undertaker fasten-
ed ropes to the box, fore and aft, and
two men succeeded in carrying it across
the bridge, though the waters of the
swollen stream danced and splashed ov-
er the boards on which they were walk-
ing.
The house was reached and the corpse
placed in the coffin, but when they
started on the return it was found that
the bridge, which had barely supported
the two men and their burden before,
would not carry the increased weight of
thedead man’s body. For a long time
they planned how the crossing could be
made and at last harness was put on the
strongest man and he dragged the
coffin and its burden over the plank.
Then the funeral started, through the
woods for the burrying ground, with
neither minister ncr friends to offer a
requiem to the departed.

A HARROWING SCENE.—One of the
most heart rending scenes which has
ever been witnessed in this community
shocked the residents of Port Matilda,
on Wednesday morning, at half past
seven o'clock Mr. and Mrs. George
Ammerman had left their two children,
aged one and four years respectively,
eating breakfast and had gone to a
neighbor’s for a few moments. Tt is not
known how long, but shortly, after they
had gone flames were discovered burst-
ing from every window and opening in
the house and the people who rushed to
the scene of the conflagration were pow-
erless to rescue the little ones whom they
knew to be onthe inside. At last a
man determined to enter the burning
building and cheers went up as he disap-
peared in the doorway, out of which
volumes of heavy black smoke was
pouring. With the flames almost lick-
ing his face he ascended the stairs, but
no where could the children be found
and he was forced to jump from an up-
stairs window to save his life. There
the crowd stood. Powerless to do any-
thing to save the lives which they
knew were being lost in the flames
which danced and cracked in the morn-
ing dawn. And the grief stricken par-
ents, almost beside themselves with
sorrow, could do nothing for their dar-
lings.
The charred and unrecognizable re-
mains of the children were found after
the fire. Thisshould be a warning to
parents not to leave their homes without
someone in charge.
MATTERN —BAISOR.— AL the residence
of Mr, David Mattern, in Half Moon
township, on Tuesday afternoon, at two
o'clock, a ceremony was pronounced
which made Miss Anaa, the eldest daugh-
ter of the househoid, the wedded wife of
John Baisor, of Benore. A large num-
ber of friends witnessed the nuptials and
partook of the elaborate collation which
was afterwards served. The groom is
a clerk in the store of Clemson &
Gossage, at Benore, and is an indus-
trious and conscientious salesman, while
his bride is a most estimable young wo-
man indeed. The happy couple left for
a two weeks trip which will include
Pittsburg, New York and Washington.
The WarcuMAN tenders its hearty con-
gratulations.
The High school and Academy
elevens played an interesting and very
exciting game of football on the Athle-
tic grounds, on Saturday afternoon.
Several weeks ago the Academians beat
the High School boys 88 to 0, but the
score was decidedly different on Satur-
day. Up to the end of the game the High
School was ahead, 6 to 4, but just as
time was called, ty a successful cross-
pass, one of the Academy halfs carried
the ball from mid field across their op-
ponents line and made a touch down,
no goal resulting, and the game ended
8 to 6. It was full of snap from start to
finish and was witnessed by a large
crowd of young ladies and men wearing
the colors of their tavorite schools.

——Thursday evening of last week
Peter W. Keller, one of Lock Havyen’s
oldest citizens died, in his apartments,
in Keller's Hotel, at that place. He
was taken sick in the hotel and the na-
ture of his malady would not admit of
his being taken to his home on Church
street.
——A¢t 7:30 last evening Mr. John
Fisher and Miss Eva Kaup, both of
Boalsburg, were married in the Lutheran
church at that place. A reception was
held at the bride’s home and many

tender their congratulations. May hap-
piness and success through life be theirs.
——TFor the third time Mr. Isaac
Frain, of Abdera, has been elected to
succeed himself, as Master of Pomona
Grange and during the year of 1892 he
will preside over the order’s delibrations.
In Mr. Frain the grangers have rec-
and the most fitting tribute they could
give him was his continance at their
head.
~——The Huntingdon News says:
Lawrence L. Brown, son of S. T. Brown
of this place, has gone to the University
hospital, in Philadelphia, for treatment
for Bright's disease with which he has

Brown’s many friends in this place
hope that his illness may not prove ser-
ious, and that be may return homa soon
altogether well.
——Mr. P. H. Musser, Millheim’s
leading jeweler, met with an accident, on
Monday, which will lay him up for some
time. While carrying a kettle full ot
boiling water he slipped and fell and
the scalding contents flew over him
drawing the flesh, wherever it touched,
into blisters. In addition to the horrors
of being scalded the unfortunate] man
fell head foremost through a window
and several ugly gashes were cut on
his head.
——During the stay of the Hettie
Bernard Chase Company in Lock
Haven, last week, W. H. Stevens, one
of the members of the company was ini-
tiated into the order of “Elks” by the
local lodge. After the ceremony had
been gone through with the two large
Elks which are used inthe play of
“Uncles Darling” were taken into the
hall and a flash light taken. 'Tis sel-
dom that a lodge is favored with the
presence of the fleet footed animals trom
which the order takes its name.
——The Philipsburg school children
are happy over the fact that they are
soon to receive the deposits they have
been making in the School’s saving fund.
The three hundred and eighty-five
youngsters were greatly alarmed lest
their savings, which had been placed in
the now defunct Philipsburg bank,
would be lost and the announcement
was hailed with great delight. $1425 is
the amount of their savings and if it is
all drawn out now we venture to say
that Christmas presents will be plenti-
ful over the mountain.
——Two illustrated lectures will be
given in the new Catholic church, Belle-
fonte, on Tuesday and Wednesday even-
ings, December 20th and 80th, by Prof.
Beard. The subject for Tuesday even-
«ing will be the **Passion Play,” and for
Wednesday evening, “The Life and
Journeyings of our Saviour.” These
are remarkably interesting and instruc-
tive lectures, and have attracted great
houses wherever delivered. Admission
will be as follows: Reserved seats 50
cents. General admission, 25 cents, !
children 15 cents. Proceeds to be de-
voted to benefit of the church,

Mgs. SusaANNAH WEAVER.—It is
with mingled feelings of sad duty and
conscious inability that we would ren-
der a tribute to the memory of Mirs,
Susannah Weaver, who died at her
home on Howard street, Sunday night
last. Nearly two years ago Mrs. Weaver
had a slight stroke of paralysis from
which she never fully recovered although
her condition was not considered alarm-
ing ’til a few days since, when she was
taken suddenly ill, and continued to
grow worse day by day till “God’s
hand touched her and she slept.” Mrs,
Weaver had all her life lived in the
community where she was well known
and held in high esteem.. Quiet and
unassuming, yet steadfast and true, she
nobly filled the sphere of wife, mother
and neighbor. She was a daughter of
John and Elizabeth Bridge, and was
born at Farmer’s Mills,in Gregg town-
ship nearly sixty-nie years ago,
early married to David Weaver, a
prominent citizen ofthe county, she
lived for some time at the Weaver
homestead,about three miles from town,
on the Jacksonville road. In 1883 they
moved to Bellefonte, where Mr. Weav-
er died in 1879, and where Mrs. Weav-
er has lived, surrounded by her family,
ever since. The children, who survive
her are: J. C., H. C., Ida, Belle, and
Caroline, with Frank B. and Mary, who
are Mr. Weaver’s children by a tormer
marriage. These with her broth-
ers, Henry Bridge of Clearfield, Jacob
Bridge of Marion township, and her sis-
ter Mrs. Sarah Thompson, of Buffalo
Run, have the consciousness of mourn-
ing a life that was well spent and a
death that was simply a transition from
this world to that of eternal peace.
AN ENJOYABLE N1GHT.—One of the
brightest performances ever witnessed,
says Guy Pemberton in the Evening
Sun, is that delightful, whimsical, nat-
ural play, “She Couldn't Marry Three.”
It is homelike, the story most probable
and interesting, causing tears of sym-
pathy or hearty laughter. Unconscious-
ly you are interested in Miss Kennedy's
portrayal of “Bess.” You laugh and
cry with her as she flits like a beam of
light through each act of the play. She
laughs, cries, sings, dances ; she’s a hoy-
den, a trusting little fisher maiden, and
no matter what she does sha carries you
at her shrine.
What a sturdy, massive, picturesque
figure Mgg<Sullivan is in the character
of “Davie,” the rough fisherman and
heroic lover ; his quiet intensity suggests
the strenguh of the ocean. And I laugh
with reminiscent pleasure as I recall that
delightful, verdant, uproarious, foolish |
“Bob Backus” as played by Mr. Ken-
nedy: I surrendered atonce; I’m laugh-
yet, and I advise those who deplore the
fact that we have so few good plays, go
see ‘‘She Couldn’t Marry Three,” and
be happy. Garman’s Opera House
Monday night, Dec. 14th,
ON HIS FEET AGAIN.--The many
friends ot ex-Senator Wallace will be
gratified to learn that he has succeeded
in making satisfactory arrangements
with his creditors for the discharge of
his assignees and the re-conveying of
his assigned estate to himself. His at-
torneys have filed a petition to this ef-
fect in the courts of Clearfield county,
and unless objection is made before to-
morrow, Saturday, Judge Furst has giv-
en notice that the application will be
granted.
Mr. Wallace has satisfied all his credi-
tors, and has hopes that no objection
will be made to the petition. He be-
lieves that he can handle his estate to
more advantage than his assignees, and
unless something unforseen occurs he
will have paid off all his indebtedness
before another year.
The Clearfield county bank, in which
the ex-Senator was largely interested,
has paid off all the small creditors, such
as widows, orphans and workingmen in
installments. Besides, Mr. Wallace
has made arrangements for the gradual
extinction of all the bank’s indebted-
ness.
Tae CoLuMRIA DAILY CALENDAR.
——An old friend in a new dress, and an
article that has come to be one of the in-
dispensibles of an editor’s desk, comes to
hand in the Columbia Daily Calender
for 1892. The Calendar is in the form
of apad containing 367 leaves, each
5}x2§ inches: one for each day of the
year, to beremoved daily, and one for
the entire year. Each slip bears a short
paragraph pertaining to cycling or some
kindred subject. At the bottom of
each leaf is a blank for memoranda.
The stand is an equally new departure,
being made of sheet metal finished in
ivory black, and is very compact. At
the clcse of the year the stand will be
available for another pad. This is the
seventh issue of this now well known
Calendar, yet all the matter is fresn and
new, and comprises notable events in
cycling, opinions of physicians and
clergymen, hints about road making,
and numerous other topics.
——Editor Savage, of the Clearfield
Public Spirit, and his associate J. F.
Short have been sued for libel by J. F.
McKendrick. It is said that the libel-
ous article was Short but very Savage

Those who were not at the Pres-
byterian chapel last Friday night miss-
ed a good treat indeed. Seldom have the
people of this town an opportunity to
show their appreciation of a good thing;
but if applause be the criterion by
which appreciation is measured, surely
the Boston Lyceum Concert felt fully
repaid for their delightful entertainment.
To have selected a favorite would in-
deed have been hard, for each one of the
five members, were artists of no little
ability. Miss Macey’s “Home, Swest
Home,” on the banjo and her recitation
“Money Musk’ pleased the entire aud-
ience, while musical critics were enthu-
siastic in their praises of Miss Mecusker,
soprano, Miss Bullock violinist, Mr. Van
Ostin, ths double Euphonium soloist,
and Miss Lufkin, the pianoand cornet
player, who has been in Bellefonte be-
fore and who, should she come again,
will be sure of a hearty welcome.

A QUEER ReLic.—We were shown a
curiosity Monday by Mr. James A.
Lukens in the shape of a soldier's can-
teen used in the war of 1812. It was
turned from a solid piece of mulberry
wood, and we presume would hold a lit-
tle more than a gallon of water. It had
for many years been the property of
Squire Lukens Atkinson, of Atkinson’s
Mills, Mifilin county, having been pre-
sented to him by a returning soldier. It
afterwards fell into the possession of W.
B. Lukens, of the same place. At the
death of the latter his brother, James A.
Lukens, of this place, fell heir to the
relic, and you may Le assured of the
fact that he values it highly. The sol-
dier who brought the canteen home
from the war made his home at Atkin-
son’s Mills for a number of years after-
wards, and at which place he also died.

THEY Gor DRrRUNK.—George Castle,
of Spruce Creek, aged 19 years,
with to companions, went to Hunting-
don on Saturday night, where they all
got very much intoxicated. About half
past eight o’clock they boarded a west-
bound freight train for home and when
at Warriors Ridge, three miles west of
Huntingdon, Castle lost his hold and fell
under the wheels. His legs and arms
were terribly mangled. He was taken
back to Huntingdon where he died
shortly after from the shock and loss of
blood. He leaves a father and mother,
who reside near Spruce Creek.—Ez.
