fire is authenticand can be relied upon
as presenting the facts in their plain and
unvarnished light. Every incident was
carefully noted by an eye witness and
nothing is over drawn.
—— Representative Jno. T. McCor-
mick and daughter Cora were pleasant
callers on Wednesday afternoon. Miss
McCormick was interested in the mys-
teries of the art preservative and we had

at an exceedingly rapid gait.
——The report going the round of
county newspapers that Bellefonte’s
bonded indebtedness is causing many
departures from tbe town is untrue. |

000 she has a water works which alone
is worth five times that sum.

the loss of a devoted mother, who had
come to this place that she could have
the advantages of the best medical skill.
Fyneral services were held from the
Catholie church on Tuesday.
‘WEDNESDAY MORNING'S Bic BLazE.
—A¢t twenty minutes past one o'clock
on Wednesday morning the most disas-
trous fire that has visited Bellefonte,
since the burning of the Humes block
and the 1st National Bank, broke out
in the south-west corner of the mam-
moth ware house, owned by the Hale
estate, at thefoot of Lamb street. Most
of Bellefonte’s residents were in a heavy
slumber when the fire was discovered
and it was several minutes before an
ALARM WAS SOUNDED FOR THE WEST
WARD.
But before the fire department arrived
the flames had made such headway that
the entire building was ablaze. From
the corner in which it was started they
leaped up to the roof of the building
and a gentle north wind fanned them
into an awful fury. Flames were lick-
ing the entire northern side before a
stream was gotton on and when; the
couplings were made and the hose men
shouted “water” it was too late for of-
fensive work and their attention had to
be turned to the lumber yards of P. B.
Crider and son in which the fire was
making rapid hcadway. Six streams
were soon playing on the lumber piles
but another building should have taken
the firemen’s attention just then.
NO EFFORTS TO SAVE THE MLLL.
The big flve story flouring mill of
Gerberich, Hale & Co., stood just across
the track from the ware house and
though the truckmen had run ladders
up to its roof fully twenty minutes be-
fore it began to scorch there was not a
line of hose near it and not a single
stream turned toward it. Instead, there
seemed to be an inclination to save a lit-
tle 6x10 cooper shop valued at about
$100.00 when one of the most complete
125 barrel mills in the State was in the
most imminent danger. Finally when
the flames burst out at every crevice on
the mill roof some one realized that the
building was on fire and a futile attempt
to save it was made. After the three
upper floors were one great mass of
flames the streams from two nozzles
were directed at them when one, if it
had only brought into play when it
would have been of some use, would
havesaved the building.
TWO ACRES OF FLAMES.
( When the mill property was beyond
Vall control the flames had leaped from
one lumber pile to another until there
were two acres of roaring, raging fire.
So intensely hot that constant streams
were kept turned on the Thomas] street
houses fully one hundred yards away.
Yet they smoked and scorched until the
gravest fear that they would be burned
was entertained. The intense heat and
the lack of fire shields hindered the
work of the firemen to a very material
degree and the awful headway which
the flames attained became exceedingly
alarming. They danced and crackled
from one pile of lumber to another until
half the big yard, with the cooper shop
and keg mill, was ablaze. Then all ef-
fort was concentrated on the planing mill
and only by the most desperate work
was it kept from burning,
THE RED BRIDGE ON FIRE.
Perhaps the most ludicrous incident
about the big conflagration was the way
in which street commissioner Shaughen-
sy and the burdened taxpayers of the
town worked to save the long red bridge,
which spans Spring creek at the foot of
Lamb street. Wild ideas of an addi-
tional $20,000 indebtedness for the town
must have been incentive that prompted
the heroic means that were taken to save
the bridge. ‘Whatever they were, the
effect was material for the structure is
entirely uninjured this morning, with
the exception of having its side burned
off. Thedrive way is not at all weak-
ened and it can be repaired at a very
trifling cost.
At one time it was feared that the
northern end of the lumber yard, below
the mill, would take flre, but the office
building which was completely gutted
formed a shield and by keeping it well
drenched a line of buckets proved suffi-
cient to save that postion of the yard.
UNDOUBTEDLY OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN.
| Mr. Gerberich, of the milling firm of
Gerberich, Hale & Co., which occupied
the big ware house, in which the fire
originated, told a WATCHMAN reporter
that he did not think there had been
any one in the ware house since Mon-
day and, as there hes not been a fira in
the building for years, incendiarism can
be the only cause attributed. When we
arrived at the scene of the conflagration
the fire was still on the lower floor of
| building and confined to the south-west
corner thus evidencing that the torch
' must have been applied at that place.
| No more opportune time nor richer
| field for the work of an incendiary could
have been selected. As the location of
| both buildings was such that they could
| be fired without danger of apprehension
"and there being so much lumber in the
| locality an awful result could be truly
| expected. The question now evolves :
| What was the motive?
: THE LOSS.
| Mr. Gerberich estimates the loss.
es sustained by his firm as follows : The
| mill iuilding, stock and machinery
| $35,00), on which there is $20,000 in-
surance $12,000 on the mill and appur-
tenances and $8,000 on stock. The ware
house $4,500 with a little over 10,000
bushels of wheat, with some corn ears
and oats, had $2,000 insurance on the
building and $6,000 on the grain. Mr,
Crider estimates his loss at $8,700, but it
will hardly reach that figure and is cov-
ered with insurance,
HISTORIC BUILDINGS.
The two buildings, which are now
blackened ruins, were perhaps the most
prominent land marks in the town and
as they marked the beginning of industry
in Bellefonte, in the first year of her ex-
istence, it is sad to think that they have
been effoctually and forever removed
from view.
The Gerberich Hale & Co. mill was a
five story stone, brick and frame build-
ing with a capacity of 125 barrels of flour
per day. It was one of the most com-
plete as well as valuable small mill pro-
perties in the state. Having heen built
with the first year of the 19th century
its claim to age is beyond dispute. Jas.
Smith, a son-in-law of Jas. Dunlap,
was its builder and operator until 1809
when Hamilton Humes became his suc-
cessor. In1834 Wm A. Thomas pur-
chased the property and operated it
with Jno M. Wagner under the firm
name of Wagner & Thomas. J. M,
Wagner & Co, afterwards became its
owners and were succeeded in 1874 by
Duncan, Hale & Co., under which name
the place has since been known, though
lately Wm P. Duncan retired leaving
C. T. Gerberich and the late Dr. E. W.
Hale as sole owners. The building
had been improved and rebuilt, from
time to time, until it bore no resemblance
to the original structure. It was owned
by the Hale estate and was equipped
with the most improved machinery for
the manufacture of its celebrated ‘Snow
Flake” flour. A complete system of
flre appliances was to be found on each
floor of the building, but no effective ef -
fort to use them was made, An enor-
mous stock of flour, bran and corn
with two thousand bushels of wheat was
stored in the place.
The enormous ware house,in which
the flames were first discovered, was built
in 1849 and occupied until 1859 by
Wager & Thomas as a ‘cheap cash
store.” The building, an immense
| frame structure. was four stories high, in
which 10,000 bushels of wheat were
stored. P. B. Crider & Son had much
valuable kiln dried lumber stored in it
and three large safes were also there for
safe keeping. It was located right at
the old canal basin and at one time was
the great business stand of this whole
region. Out of it sprang the firm of S.
& A. Loeb. This building will never
ba rebuilt, though if the mill site zan-
not be sold to good advantage we are
authorized to say that in all probability
it will be rebuilt.
MiLesBura's HEAVY FIRE Loss,—
About half past eight o’clock, on Wed-
nesday evening, the little town of Miles-
burg was startled by the cry of “Fire!”
and upon investigation the three tene-
ment frame house, on Main street, owned
and occupied by William Grassmyer
was discovered to be on fire. The flames
seemed to be bursting out at every place
on the roof before a general alarm was
given, and as the town does not have a
fire department all that could be done
was to form a bucket brigade for the
saving of adjoining property.
The calmness of the evening prevent-
ed disastrous results, but as it was the
flames quickly licked up the double
house owned by John and Saul Confer,
on the north, and from there they spread
to the grocery store of John Miles, over
which was the Odd Fellows hall, and
while these buildings were being con-
sumed the little stone structure, former-
ly occupied by J. B. Proudfort as an un-
dertaking establishment, caught and in
no time was in ruins.
The Cornet hook and ladder com-
pany were on the scene and did most et-
fective work. Tt was largely due to
their timely appearance that the whole
square did not burn. 1t was just eight
minutes from the time they lett their
truck house until they arrived at the
scene of the conflagration, a distance
of two miles, And their work was ex-
captionally effective. The Logan
steamer Co, also went to the assistance
of the people down there, but their hos,
cart broke down and while the steamer
was ready to flood the whole town, it
had nothing to squirt through until the
fire had gotten under control.
The whole loss will aggregate about
$6,000 or $8,000. It is supposed that
the fire caught from an upturned lamp
in the Grassmyer house. The loss will
be quite serious to the families who
lived in fhe houses for they were, for the
most part, laboring people and hardly
able to sustain such serious loss.
—— The death of Mrs. Frank E. Bi-
ble, of Philadelphia, occurred in that
place, on last Tuesday morning. She
has been suffering for some time with
consumption and her death was a re_
lease from the awful disease. Mrs. Bi-
ble’s maiden name was Allie Minsker,
whose brother died in this place several
months ago. Her husband and little
children have the heartfals sympathy of
the entire community,
JoHN M. WAGNER DEaD,—The sub-
ject of this article died at his residence
in Central City, Pa., May 23rd 1892 at
10 o'clock p. m., in the 69th year of his
age, after a long and patient illness.
| About one year ago he was taken with
: the Gripp, and never recovered and it is
! seldom that death summons one from
| the walks of private life where loss is so
“deeply and generally felt.
The deceased was born in Lebanon
county Pa. and came to Bellefonte
as an apprentice to the flouring mill of
his brother D. M. Wagner, and Wm.
Thomas, known now as the Gerberich
{ & Hale mill, in the year of 1848 ; com-
pleted his trade and succeeded his broth-
er D. M. Wagner as principle miller,
operating the mill for years. In 1859
hetook charge of the Green mill in
Milesburg Pa. and succeeded in bring-
ing it to an excelent standard and repu-
tation as a flouring mill. He remained
there three years. He then moved back to
the old Thomas mill in Bellefonte,
and formed a partnership with Sholl &
Gerberich ; the firm being Wagner,
Sholl & Gerberich. This firm continued
for nine years, at the expiration of which
time it dissolved and he then returned to
Central City and, just opposite to the
Green mill, erected the large roller
flouring will, known as the Wagner
mill, where he has carried on a large,
flourishing and lucrative business ever
sinc. Some four years ago he retired
and gave the business over to his
sons John and William. He contented
himself in stimulating the industries of
Milesburg and Central City. Erecting
several large brick housesin the latter
place and taking a hand in all the im-
provements undertaken in his neighbor-
hood.
Four brothers and four sisters survive
him. All of them reside in Lebanon
county. He was a consisteat member
of the Reformed church. Always ac-
tive iu church matters and of his im-
mediate family he leaves to mourn his
loss seven daughters and two sons,
John, William, Mrs. Mary Weaver,
Mrs. Sadie Keichline, Mrs. Jennie
Keichline, Mrs. Jas. Weaver Mrs. Lew
Wallace, Mrs: Jas; Williams and Miss
Ella Wagner. The deceased was one of
the few men whose reputation slander
dares not touch: Whose retreat ma-
lignity dares not invade ; whose motives
prejudice dares not impugn. Men who
knew him best loved him best, and those
who associated with him most valued his
friendship most. His religion extended
into his business transactions and was
mingled with the intercourse of daily
life. He was not rich. His wealth was
not drawn from the earnings of the
poor. He was loved and respected by
all. That respect was carried by an up-
right deportment and a holy life. He
was a tender husband and a kind father,
and his fall has left a chasm in the fan-
ly circle which He alone can fill, who
has promised to be a father to tha fath-
erless and a husband to the widow.
Bora Micar Have BreNy KILLED.
—On Tuesday evening about seven
o'clock a runaway occurred on Bishop
street which might easily have resulted
fatally for both horse and horse man.
A young man employed by J.
H. Yearick, at Pleasant Gap, was
driving down Bishop street in a road
cart to which a spirited black mare was
hitched. When passing Blackford’s
restaurant a little boy either struck the
horse with & batted stone or with the
bat itself, for suddenly the animal rear-
ed and plunged forward. She became
entirely unmanagable and galloped
wildly down the street. But when the
Allegheny street corner was reached her
rate of speed was so great that it was
impossible to turn the corner and the
young driver strove vainly to keep her
in the road. She sprang across the gut-
ter at Aikens’ music store and almost
turned a somersault in against the large
plate glass windows, throwing the driv-
er clear over her head and into the door-
way of the store. A large crowd gath-
ered quickly but the plucky young
country man was on his feet in an in-
stant and thoughtfully jumped on the
animal’s head, thus holding her until
the bystanders had pulled away the cart
and harness. When she got up it was
found that one of the small bones of the
pasturn joint, of the lett front leg, was
broken, while an ugly gash at the place
marked where the leg had struck the
heavy curh. All along the face of the
buildirg hair and blood marked where |
the'animal had struck with such terri- |
ble force and it seems miraculous that
both driver and horse were not killed or
seriously maimed.
HuNGARIANS RoBBED.—On Monday |
night the hungarian house, just above |
the church, at the Valentine Iron Com-
pany’s works was robbed of a trunk
containing a little over $180.00 and the
poor foreigners are now trying to find
some clue as to the whereabouts of their}
hard earned cash. ’

TEMPORARILY PARALYZED. — On
Sunday evening the friends of Mr.
Chas. T. Cruse were horrified to hear
that he had been stricken with paralysis
and that his whole right side had been
affected. While sitting at the supper
table, and apparently in the best of
health, his head suddenly fell forward
and he showed no signs of life. His
father and brother carried him -to a
couch in an adjoining room and Dr,
Harris was sent tor, but before the ply=
sician arrived he had partially recovered
from the stroke, which is said to have
been occasioned by a clot of blood on
the brain. Charley's many friends were
sore distressed over his serious afiliction
and they are greatly pleased at his com-
plete recovery.

A GREAT ACCOMMODATION FOR
PENNS VALLEY.—The evening {rain
which now runs over the B. N. & IL.
between this place and Coburn will
prove a great accommodation to the
many people living along the line of
this road, as it gives them an opportuni-
ty of remaining in Bellefonte until six
o’clock in the evening if it is necessary.
The new train leaves hereat 6 p. m. and
runs through to Coburn. Arriving
there at 7:10. On the return it leaves
Coburn at 7:25 and arrives at this place
intime to connect with the 8:49 express
for Lock Haven and points north and
east.
It will be seen that, with such an ar-
rangement, people living between
here and Coburn can leave home in the
moruing and spend a day in Tyrone,
Snow Shoe, Lock Haven and interme-
diate points and return the same even-
ing. Those who find that they cannot
finish their business in this place in
time for the 3 o’clock train will find the
latler one a great convenience.

AN IMPOSITION ON THE PEOPLE.—-
It is really too bad that our people are
taken in so often, but in this case we
cannotsee who is to blame as no one
knew of the wonderful prestidigiator,
magician and necromancer who has
turned up in our midst. On last Satur.
day we had Kellar who is supposed to
be the world’s greatest magician, but
his tricks and illusions have been so
thoroughly (?) explained that we feel
like thumping our shallow pates for
having been deceived by his bungling(?)
performances,
Did you read Monday’s daily Qa-
zette? If youdid you are doubtless
thinking what miserable dupes you made
of yourselves, at the opera house, on
Saturday afternoon, And if youdidn’,
do so, by all means, for perhaps if Mr.
Kellar’s sleight had a tendancy toward
shaking your belief in reality then the
consciousness that you are really your-
self will return.

DiLL’s Cask SETTLED. —At the trial
in Pittsburg last week the case of ex-
banker - preacher Dill was settled ; his
wife having secured the creditors at the
sacrifice of her own handsome dwelling
house, bank stocks and other valuable
securities together with the deposits and
bank stock of her father and mother.
The creditors of both the Houtzdale and
Clearfield banks will consequently re-
ceive dollar for dollar for all their de-
posits. Later information is to the ef-
fect that Dill has refused to sign the pa-
pers which the comptroller of the cur-
rency had agreed to and is likely to get
into serious trouble yet.
