Have We a Public Spirited Man ?
Belletonte is well on toward the cen-
tury mark of her existence, as a bor-
ough, and she has ample reasons for
being proud of herself. No town of
the same size, in the State, can show
80 many handsome business blocks
and residences and surely none have
cradled as many men born to become
illustrious in the eyes of the nation,
But with all her lovliness she hasnever
become so endeared in the hearts of
any of her sons that they have cared to
erect a monument to themselves with-
in her confines,
A town whose wealth far suspasses
that of many triple the size and one
which has thrown riches into the laps
of a score of her song, without a public
building, without a monument of any
sort to express the gratitude of those
whom she has favored or a single mark
expressive of a personal desire to be re’
membered by posterity, is indeed
strange. Yet such is the condition of
Bellefonte:
The only object to which we can
point as the outcome of any other than
a remunerative investment is the foun-
tain which the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union secured years ago
and presented to the town and which
has ornamented the public square ever
since.
Has Bellefonte, among her citizens
one who will immortalize himself by
building a Public library or some oth-
er monument to his memory. Some
one whose desire to remembered by
coming generations will break his purse
strings and make his name loved as
long as the town stands.
The Watchman’s School for Voters.
The WarcuymaN has decided to es-
tablish a school for voters in the coun-
ty and just as soon as the booths and
other paraphernalia, required by the
Baker law, arrive a schedule of the
time and places the school will be open
will be published.
It is the intention to have every-
thing complete, even down to the most
trifling detail, so that a voter who has
once cast his ballot at the Warcayan’s
election will know exactly how to per-
form the same operation when the real
election takes place. The tickets will
be printed with the full National, State
and County tickets, and everything
possible will done to thoroughly ex-
plain the working of the new system.
All of the arrangements fcr the
school have not been completed nor
have the places for holding it been ful-
ly decided upon, but it is highly prob-
able that Millheim, Spring Mills, Cen-
tre Hall, Boalsburg, Pine Grove Mills,
State College, Stormstown, Philipsburg
Julian, Fleming, Howard, Zion and
Bellefonte will all be visited and per-
haps the Granger's picnic.
Look out for the Warcumax’s dates.
‘The report that Senator HiLL
intends to withdraw his boom and go
off the Presidential track gives encour-
agement to the hope that he will pur-
sue such a course, which in the end
will be better for himself and the Demo-
cratic party. There is no denying that
he has considerable strength and that
he has done the Democracy some ser-
vice, but at this time his candidacy ia
a disturbing element and is ouly in the
way of that harmonious action which
is required for Democratic success.
——The Chicago Herald is of the
opinion that the disposition of the
Democratic party to go West for a
candidate this year is on the increase.
It is true that there are some promis-
ing “dark horses” roaming through
the political pasture fields of the West,
and one of them may be lassoed by the
Chicago Convention and put in harness
for the Presidential campaign, but pre-
sent appearances rather indicate that

The Awful Fury of a Kansas Cyclone.
Its Origin and the Amount of Damage it Accom
complished.—The Ruin at Harper is Fearful:
—At Least Sixty Buildings Were Crushed and
Many More are Damaged to Some Extent—
Hundreds of Families are Homeless and Des-
titute.
Kansas Crry, May 29.-—The tornado
which formed in Southern Kansas Fri-
day night, and swept across the counties
of Harper and Sumner, left death in its
path. To add to the havoc wrought by
the dreaded monster of the air, a water-
spout claimed its share of the general
wreck, and devastated the northern part
of Harper county, while lightning sent
its fire to scorch and burn. Towns,
cities and farmhouses were alike in the
awful maw of the destroyer, and the
works of man were swept from the face
of the earth, and human life went out in
the twinkling of an eye. Fifteen dead
at Wellington ; seven dead at Harper,
and five dead at Argonia are the victims
reported from the towns, while the agri-
cultural district immediately surround-
ing those places the number reaches six
more making a total authentically re-
ported of thirty-three with probably
many more who will succumb to the
terrible injuries inflicted by the storm.
Wicuira, Kas., May 29.—The storm
belt was six miles wide—a straight blow
with severe hail along the outside. The
storm origirated west and south of Har-
per and swept away thirty-five buildings
before reaching that town. At Harper
the ruin is fearful. At least sixty build-
ings are crushed to the earth and their
contents a complete wreck. A hundred
more houses are damaged more or less
and scarcely a building escaped injury
in that town. Hundreds of families are
homeless and destitute, without tood or
shelter. A. Beatty, u farmer living one
mile north, had all his fine buiidings
destroyed. His little daughter, Minnie,
received a severe scalp wound. Peter
Girard, a boy, received a severe wound
in the leg. , Mrs. A. Ferry was caught
in the ruins of her residence aud receiv-
ed a slight wound. Miss Florence Say-
ers was struck by flying debris and re-
mained insensible for an hour. Mrs.
Felrath, living west of town, was brought
in this morning severely wounded.
Gottlieb Hanhardt and family, two
miles northeast, were seated at the sup-
per table. They were carried one hun-
dred feet by the wind. Mr. Hanhardt
received a wound in the foot. The
house of M. M. Anger, north of town,
was blown down over the family, bruis-
ing them considerably, but not seriously.
Ellis Miller and family, two miles south-
west, narrowly escaped with their lives,
their houses being crushed flat. Both
public school buildings were badly 1n-
jured, one being a total loss. The Cath-
olic and Germ an churches were demol-
ished and the Baptist and Christian
churches were greatly injured; the
Masonic block, the Queen City block
and the opera louse block are almost
worthless. Of the eleven houses north
of the Santa Fe track, eight are crushed
to the floors and the contents area total
loss. In the Odd Fellows’ cemetery,
one mile northeast, over one-third of
the monuments are prostrate. The grand
stand and buildings of the fair grounds,
one mile south, are leveled. The mayor
miles. In Garden Plains township two
brothers were picked up and carried a
distance of 200 yards and let down al-
most side by side. One of them was
badly injured in the fall, while the oth-
er escaped without a scratch.
At 7.40 the tornado assumed its char-
acteristic shape and at once commenced
its work of destruction, leaving ruin and
devastation in its trail. It struck this
city a regular broadside. Its greatest
force was in the northern portion where
the destruction is complete. It is im-
possible at present to estimate the entire
loss sustained by the city and surround-
ing country with any degree of accuracy
but it will not fall far short of $500,000.
not more than 609 out of 800 or 900 res-
idences of the city have escaped damage,
but a large majority of them are only
slightly damaged. It has been estimat-
ed that nearly 150 houses are total
wrecks while as many more are badly
damaged. The amount of cyclone in-
surance in the town is very light, while
in the country it is compartively noth-
ing.
Another serious loss is the new $14 -
000 school house which is a total wreck.
There is scarcely a residence recogniza-
ble as such on Central avenue from the
Presbyterian church north. About all
the stores in the north half of the city
arein ruins and their contents greatly
damaged. Many of the people are not
only destitute of shelter, but of focd and
clothing as well. A relief committee
has been organized and to-day a formal
proclamation was issued by the mayor
reciting the distress of the people and
calling for aid.
The correct list of the dead, as far as
ascertained, upto 6 p. m. to-day is as
follows: W. L. Stranahan, Mis.
Thomas Gallagher, Mrs. Gallagher's
4 year-old child, Louis Harrison, Mrs.
Howard Tomlins’s child. The suppos-
ed fatally wounded are as follows : Mrs.
Howard Tomlins, Mrs. Felrath, Pete
Girard. Mrs: A. Frey, Mrs. L. Harrison
Mr. and Miss Nace, Mrs. Sayers, James
Dickinson, 8. Challis, wife and baby.
James Gallagher. The seriously wound-
ed are: S. E. Cole, Robert Liebecht,
Peter Corby, James Dickinson, A. EK.
Mallory and wife, Mrs. Minor, Ezra
Vance, Mrs. Baker, Winn Baker, Mrs.
Matthews. W. C. Lind.
Kansas Ciry, Mo., May 29.—A
special to the Journal from Wellington
Kan., says: The death list remains at
the figures given in the dispatches of
yesterday, with all the injured ones ina
fair way to recover except Mrs. Murphy,
the aged lady who was taken from the
ruins of the Cole Robinson block, and
Jesse Brown, the colored barber.
Quay Says iat
The Senator Says There Will Be One Ballot On-
ly at the Convention.
Prrrseure, May 29.—*“There will be
one baliot only at Minneapolis, and
Blaine will be the man.”
This was the emphatic maaner in
which Senator Quay sized up the Presi-
dential situation this evening just be-
fore starting for Washington. Mr.
Qnay came up from Beaver in the af
ternoon and put in the rest of the day
receiving congratulations from friends
and fire department of Hulchinson,
Kingman and Anthony have relief com-
mittees at work.
Ouxey, Ill. May 29.—A cyclone
passed through this county last evening
doing great damage to building and or-
chards. The path of the cyclone was a
narrow one but its furrow was irresista-
ble, demolishing four barns two miles
east of this city. Young orchards are
badly damaged. The course of the
ed at this writing but so far no loss of
life is reported. The damage to pro-
perty | growing crops is large.
Harper, Kas, May 29.--Reports
from the country around through
which the the tornado of Friday night
passed, demonstrate the loss to be greater
than at first reported. The course of
the storm as indicated by its trail repre- |
sents.an imperfect letter ¢‘S” and swept !
team will be chosen from the East.
in that form a distance of at least fifteen '
storm was from southwest to northeast. !
Only meagre reports have been receiv-
on his victory over Dalzell at the Al-
legheny county primaries yesterday.
. The Senator is banking a good deal on
the desire of Mrs. Blaine to have her
husband accept the nomination.
“Is the Pennsylvania delegation a
unit tor Blaine?’ he was asked.
“I believe so,” the reply came, with
a smile,
“Aren't there ten delegates for Har-
| rison 2"
“Not that I know of, I think you
will find us all voting one way, and
that for Blaine. We will meet in
| Minneapolis ou Monday and probably

Peter Jackson Whips Slavin in Ten
Rounds.
The Australian in a Terrible Condition from the
Fearful Punishment He Received at the Hands
of his Antagonist—Had no Chance Against
Jackson, Yet He Was Game.
Loxpon, May 30.—The national club
was crowded to suffocation to-night
with spectators anxious to witness the
Slavin-Jackson fight. The entrance
became so much obstructed by the
crowd that the owner refused to allow
any more to enter with out a ticket.
Two hundred policemen kept order out-
side the club house, where a surging
mass had assembled with the expecta-
tion of being admitted. Lonsdale open-
ed the proceedings with a speech and
the fight then began. After the first
few rounds it was evident that Slavin
had no chance against the bigger man,
yet he was game and came up pluckily
to the call of time, In the tenth round
Slavin was knocked helpless against the
ropes, being in a terrible condition from
the fearful punishment he had received.
It was ten minutes after eleven when
Jackson and Slavin made their appear-
ance in the ring to begin to ficht. The
usual prelimicaries occupied only a few
minutes. Then ten fierce rounds were
fought, in which Jackson showed super-
iority at every point.
Jackson tipped the scales at 196 and
Slavin at 185 pounds. Jackson's sec-
onds were “Parson” Davies, Joe Choy-
enski and James young. Slavin’s sec-
onds were his brother, Jack, Tom Wil-
liams and Tom Burrowe. Mr. Angle
was referee. All the arrangements for
the fight were admirable and the con-
test was one of the fairest seen in a long
time.
SLAVIN NO MATCH FOR JACKSON.
Slavin knowing the man he had to
deal with soon abandoned his rushing
tactics in favor of cautious sparring.
When it came to out-fichting Slavin
was no match for Jackson, who display-
ed wonderful science. Yet Slavin’s
sudden collapse in the tenth round, was
an utter surprise to the majority of the
spectators, who had thought that Jack-
son would win only by points.
At the close of the fight, Slavin, as he
lay helpless and disfigured on the floor
of the stage, appeared to be almost dead.
He presented a woeful appearance and
showed very plainly the effects of the
terrible punishment which had been ad-
ministered to him by his dusky antag-
onist.
He lay motionless on the hard boards
with his eyes tightly closed. his face
badly swollen and discolored and his
body covered with the blood which
flowed in crimson streams from the cuts
caused by the sledge hammer blows
dealt by Jazkson. —
The latter, too, had lost some blood
and showed marks cf the terrific encoun-
ter in which he had been engaged, but
he was in a comparatively fresh condi-
tion when the fight was over, and when
Slavin had been officially declared
“out’’ and Jackson had been announced
as'the victor.

Obituary.
Curtis D. Henderson son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
C. Henderson was born Dec. 3, 1874, and died
May 14,1892, at the home of his brother-in-
law’s,, Rev. Mr. Fleck, in Bedford, Pa., aged 17
years, 5 months and 11 days.
Curtis had been unwell for some time, but
his friends did net anticipate any thing seri_
ous. They thought a visit to Bedford would
do him good therefore they persuaded him to
80. For a short time he seemed to improve,
but suddenly took a change for the worse.
When the family received a telegram that he
was very bad Mr. Henderson went to him as
soon as possible and finding him very low
telegraphed immediately for his wife to come.
The next train carried his mother and Elmer
his oldest brother to his side. So while Curtis
was away from his own home he was not
among strangers, but in the home of his dear
sister surrounded with father, mother, broth-
er, and sister. Those loving hearts prompted
tender hands to do all that could possibly be
done to save the boy. But God had sent the
summons, so Curtis had to bid adieu to earth
and loved ones and go to meet God.
It seemed hard that one so young must die.
Surely “God moves in a mysterious way his
wonders to perform.”
Dear mourning friends: I believe it is all
for the best. The Lord gave him to you and
now He has taken him. Then do not weep,
but live so that by and by you may meet him
in that beautiful home that God has prepared
for all who love and obey Him.
The funeral took place on Monday, May 16.
We met at the home of the deceased at 9:00 a.
m. where a short service was held. We sung
“Jesus lover of my Soul” and was lead in a
very appropriate prayer by Rev. Mr. Creig.
after which Wm. Chandler, Benner Meek,
Walter Turner, Edward Williams, Charlie
Myers, and Orlando Boyer, who acted as pall
bearers, bore the casket which held the body
of the darling son, to the hearse, then we pro-
ceeded to the M. E. church in Julian, where
funeral services were held. Rev..T. C. Young
pastor of the family preached from the tex,
“Watch therefore: for ye know neither the
day nor the hour wherein the son ot man
cometh.” Rev. Mr. Moore spoke words of
comfort and sympathy to the mourning
friends. Rev. Mr. Creig also took part in the
services, Miss Mollie Williams presided at the
organ.
After the services had ended the large as-
sembly passed in a silent procession, by the
casket, to view all that was left of that young
man who had so recently moved among us full
of life and vigor. We thought as that weeping
procession passed by, who shall be next to
follow to that land from whence no traveler
ever returns.
Dear friends: Curtis is not dead. He is only
gone to the spirit world we shall meet him by
and by.
Then when all had payed their last sad
tribute of respect to the remains of one whom
to know was but to love, we carried his body
over the cliff to Gray’s cemetery and laid it
beside his brother’s there to rest in peace
till the great rising day,
A Friexp.
