A Bia Fire SuxpaY MorNING.—A
fire which threatened to wipe out a large
portion of Bellefonte was started in an
ice house,at the rear of the Bush Arcade,
just across the creek from this office,
early Sunday morninz. When it was
discovercd the flames had made such
headway that the saving of adjoining
property was all that was possible.
With the wind blowing a gale of six-
ty miles an hour, rightinto the business
portion of the town, and five frame sta-
bles and numerous outbuildings already
in a blaze, the firemen went to work
with a determination that was desper-
ate. It wasa fight for hundreds of
homes and a score of business houses
but after five hours hard work the fire-
men came out victorious.
DETAILS OF THE FIRE.
From the ice-house, in which it start-
ed, it communicated to an old oil house
near by. Thence it ran up through a
long shed to the stable on the rear of
Mrs. D. G. Bush’s Spring street lot,
The stable being full of hay and fodder
made a frightful blaze. Showers of
sparks being carried by a terrific gale
clear to the extreme eastern end of town.
In the Bush stable was a cow, a car-
riage, two costly phaetons and the old
family horse, all of which were burned
but the cow.
The next place that was noticed to be
on fire was the rear end of the handsome
Arcade building, which fronts on High
street. The prompt work of firemen
rescued it for the time; then turned
their attention to the stables of D. G.
Garman and Dr. Robert Hayes, both of
which were on fire. All that human
hands could do was done without avail,
and seeing the futility of their work the
water was all turned on the big brick
house, on Spring street, occupied by
Dr. Hayes and Harry Keller. Again
and again it was on fire and each time
it was put out, but at last the flames
and smoke from the burning stables
drove the firemen from their posts and
the flames got in between the roofs on
the house. It was a mansard, with tin
on tup of shingles. The fire must have
caught at a gable window which had
been left open. Five streams were im-
mediately turned on it, but as the fire
was all inside it got such a headway
that it was difficult to arrest. Finally
when it did burst out the work had tell-
ing effect, for 'twas but a very few mo-
ments until it was under control. The
building was gutted, though the walls
are intact and will not have to be taken
down.
It seems almost impossible that during
the fire sparks were carried, nearly a
mile, to the home of Robert Hepburn,
which was on fire several times. The
home of Abe Baum, Mrs. Schrock, and
Brockerhoff’s feed store, on Bishop
street, were all on fire and only the hard-
est kind of work saved them. Brocker-
hoff’s house, Meyer’s and Wm. Grau-
er’s, on Spring street, were ignited sever-
al times, but escaped with slight dam-
age to the roofs.
The fire assumed its most serious as-
pect when the Arcade building took fire
the second time. Everyone seemed to
realiza that if it should burn Bellefonte
would lose her beauty spot. The win-
dows were burned out of the new part
and the old end was completely gutted
on the second and third floors, though
Powers’ shoe store and Twitmyer’s tin
store escaped without a penny’s damage.
The fact that both new and old portions
of the building had metal roofs and the
former metal cornices is all that saved
them. Fire gotunder the roof of the
old portion however and the water that
was required to stop it did considerable
damage to the plastering.
In all her history Bellefonte has nev-
er witnessed a fire that looked as fore-
boding as the one looked on Sunday
morning. Everything seemed against
the arrest of the flames until they had
burned their course, but the desperate
work of the firemen and the wall of brick
houses, with slate rcofs, on Spring street,
are all that saved us from the most disas-
trous conflagration we have ever been
visited with. The water was there in
abundance, Atone time there were
six streams playing on the fire and all
of them with a head that carried clear
over the highest buildings. But with
all that the escape was miraculous.
Bellefonte firemen are to be congratulat-
ed. Certainly a trained, paid depart.
ment could not have done better. They
have clearly demonstrated to our citi-
zens that they are deserving of all the
praise that is being bestowed upon them
and every man worked as though his
lite depended on the result. Surely the
Logan steamer has paid for itself and
the New Undine Fire Co., merits your
support. The Hookies too, came in for
a large shure of the laurels. All of
them were firemen in every sense of the
word. Let your generosity measure
your appreciation of the work they have
done for you,
WHO THE LOSERS WERE.
Dr. R. G. Hayes is the heaviest loser.
A stable, a new buggy, harness and
other stuff, all of his outbuildings and
his brick house, on Spring street, having
been consumed. Together with much
furniture and carpet which could not be
gotten out of his house. Loss cover-
ed by insurance.
Mrs. D. G. Bush is the next heaviest
loser, For her the flames destroyed
two ice houses, 8 good barn, a horse,
two pbaetons, a carriage, harness and
damaged the back of the Arcade build-
ing to the extent of $1,500. Her loss is
covered by insurance.
Next on the list comes Daniel Gar-
man, whose stable containing four
sleighs, a buggy and a carriage is & to-
tal loss,
Harry Keller, who occupied rooms in
the Hayes house, lost furniture and
clothing to the extent of $75. He did
not carry insurance.
George Lonberger, who lived in the
back part of the old portion of the Ar-
cade suffered a slight loss from water.
And two boys who had just fitted up a
room there for sleeping purposes were
drowned out before they go into it.

the doctor seems to know what he is
writing about.
——Mrs. Jacob Gotshall, of Galla-
gher township, Clinton county, hanged
herself to the shaker of a threshing ma-
chine on last Friday afternoon. Her
husband and daughter were in the corn
field at the time and when they en-
tered the barn made the horrible dis-
covery, She was dead with her toes
scarcely off the floor. She had made
two attempts at suicide before. One by
setting herself afire, the other by a dose
of laudanum,
WaERE MeETINGS WILL BE HELD.
—Democratic meetings will be held this
evening in the Holt’s Hollow school
house, in Boggs township, and in Mann's
school house, at Axe Mann. To-mor-
row, Saturday night, at Eagleville and

Foor-BALL AT THE COLLEGE.--On
Saturday afternoon Nov. 12th, the foot-
ball eleven from Bucknell university,
at Lewisburg, will line up against the
strong State College team. It will be a
game worth witnessing, for it is need-
less to say that the rivalry between the
two institutions will be an incentive to
the hardest kind of work. The game
will be played on Beaver field and {will
be called at two o'clock sharp. A spe-
cial train will run over the Bellefonte
Central R. R., leaving here at 1 o’clock
p. m. and returning in time for connec-
tions to Tyrone and Lock Haven. The
admission will be 50cts.
FIRE AT STATE COLLEGE, —Between
eleven and twelve o'clock last Monday
morning some students who were work-
ing in the chemical laboratory, at the
Pennsylvania State College, noticed that
the roof of the middle wing of the main
building was on fire. They quickly
gave the alarm and for a little while ex-
citement reigned supreme, but the
flames were extinguished before much
damage was done.
It is supposed to have caught from a
spark from the stack which runs up
through that portion of the building,
Some men had been burning rubbish
down in the cellar. The prompt response
of the students, and workmen about
the place, prevented a serious conflagra-
tion.
The Washington and Cresson literary
Society balls are located on the fifth floor
in that wing, the latter being consider-
ably damaged by a bursted hose.
A BIRTHDAY PARTY.—On Tuesday
evening, October 25th, the residence of
Mr. James W. Beck, near Jacksonville,
was the scene of a delightful birthday
party given in honor of John Beck,
who had just completed his twentieth
year. A large party of young folks
were present and spent the evening in
enjoyable amusements. At 10 o’clock
refreshments were served much to the
delight of the merry young people.
The following is a list of persons who
were present: Misses Lavina McEwen,
Alice Bergstresser, Laura Welsh, Eva
Yearick, Nellie Johnson, Katie Kling,
Emma Bergstresser, Mary Gensil, Em-
ma Long, Ada Y earick, Minnie Leath-
ers, Jessie Beck, Bertha Wilson, Sanctie

TuANKsGIVING Eve BaALL.— With
the opening of the holiday season the
amusement lovers of Bellefonte always
have two enjoyable occasions to
look forward to. The firemen of the
town find nearly as much enjoyment in
an evening of dancing, at which they
delight to entertain their friends, as
they do in trying to save the property
of our citizens from destruction by fire,
and the companies have selected the
winter holiday season as the one most
advantageous during which to hold
their balls.
According to the time honored cus-
tom of the old Undine Hose Co., No. 2
the new Undine Fire Co., No. 2, which
has risen phoenix like from the ashes of
thaold organization, will continue to
give the annual Thanksgiving eve ball
which the blue shirts have been giving
for years past. These affairs have prov-
en an easy way of raising funds for the
organizations which have them in
charge. Fora person will pay fifty
cents for a ticket and go and dance a
whole night; never thinking what a
great help his money—though small the
amount may have seemed--will be to
the firemen. Our companies are all
volunteers and while the borough gives
them a small appropriation, there are
many little things which are conducive
to their comfort which must be paid for
in some way. Isn’tit far more grate-
ful in us and encouraging to them
to help them along a little, especial-
ly when opportunities of this sort are
given. Every business man or proper-
ty owner should buy a ticket or two,
and all combined a handsome sum will
be realized without anyone having
missed the small out-lay.
The new Undine Fire Co., No. 2,
will give its first annual ball in Bush’s
Arcade, on Wednesday evening, Nov-
ember 23rd, 1892. The proceeds will
be devoted to the better equipment of
the company and a large attendance
should reward their efforts to please the
public. The full “Orpheus” orchestra,
of eight pieces, composed of such ele-
gant musicians as Geo. Brandon, the
Smith and Beirley brothers, Prof. Ro-
bert Tipple, George Flory and John
Meyer will furnish the music for the oc-
casion. No other recommendation is
needed for the excellence of the music
than the publication of the performers
names. Everything will be conducted
in the finest possible manner and the
comfort of those attending will be care-
fully looked after. The best of order
will be preserved.
Go and help the firemen along.
Their heroic work during the last few
days should be a sufficient incentive for
you to do all you can.
To vote the full Democratic tick-
et place a cross mark in the
square to the right of the word
Democratic, thus:
DEMOCRATIC | X
wherever the word Democratic
appears on the Official ballot.
Nothing could be simpler.
Bauer's Store oN FIre.—At 9:15
Monday night fire was discovered in the
cellar ot the store-room occupied by J. N.
Bauer & Son, in the three story brick
block owned by the T. R. Reynolds’ es-
tate, at No. 15, South Allegheny street.
An alarm was quickly sounded and
firemen responded with a promptness
that wasstartling. Two streams were
turned into the cellar and before the fire
had time to do much more than fill the
building with smoke it was completely
extinguished. Aside from the inevita-
ble depreciation in the value of goods
which are tainted by smoke there was
not much damage done. Garman's
store, which adjoins the one in which the
fire originated, was badly smoked and
all of the goods will have to be sacrific-
ed somewhat on account of the smell.
When the alarm was first sounded the
general impression that it was a Hallow-
E’en joke necessitated a second and a
third alarm, before there was a general
response. Volumes of smoke were pour-
ing cut of the store doors when the
WATCHMAN reporter arrived, but the
fire-men worked valiantly and kept the
flames confined to the cellar. Owing to
the dense smoke it was some time be-
fore tke fire could be located.
It is supposed to have been caused by
the accidental dropping of a match ‘or
spark from a cigar into some straw
which was lying at the foot of the cellar
stairs. Monday night was pay night
and the store had enjoyed a big rush.
Mr. Bauer thinks that some one of
the Hungarians or Italians, who were
in the habit of going into the water fau-
cetat the head of the stairs to get a
drink, accidentally left a spark fail in-
to the inflammable substance below.
The oil barrels were right near so the
fire burned rapidly, until; discovered.
It was fortunate that it was discovered
so soon and so successfully; handled or
that whole corner would undoubtedly
have been a ruin at this writing.
Mr. Bauer’s store seems to be ill-fated.
It was in his cellar, while he was in
business on Spring street, that the big
fire which took Strychuine corner in '
1886 began. Then his entire stock was
demolished. This time his only dam-
age is by smoke. Several French plate
windows were broken in the store and
the joists badly charred.

Pine Grove Mentions.
Dr. A. J. Orndorf, of Greensburg, Pa., tarried
a day in our town last week en route to his
mothers home near Spring Miils.
Mr. E. T. Livingston, who has been confin-
ed to bed for some weeks suffering from a par-
tial paralytic stroke is improving but slowly.
That prince of good tellows and one of Lan-
caster’s Democratic wheel hdrses, A. C. Kepler,
recently spent a week here looking after the
agricultural interest of his special friend J. M.
Kepler, who is gaining health at Hot Springs.
Miss Jane Ann Gilliland, formerly of this
community, but now living near Kishoboquil-
las, Miffln county is suffering with slight par-
alysis of one side. Itis hoped by her many
friends and relatives hear that a collapse will
not soon follow.
The drouth of many weeks still continues,
the growing crops are suffering, many cisterns
dry, well’s are rapidly sinking, most of the
heretofor never failing streams are dry, stock
is being driven for miles to. water, while the
roads are lined with water wagons.
And now D. W. Miller is added to the nimro-
dic column. After fifty hunting seasons had al-
most passed before him he conceived the idea
of killing a venison. So taking down his ‘““har--
ers-ferry,” inless time than we can tell it

Boys but a few more days and election time:
will be upon us. Our township has a candi-
date in the field, in the person of farmer John
T. McCormick, a gentleman well-known to the
jas payers, as one of our law makers of the
last Legislature, his record having been unex-
ceptionable and met the entire approval of the
people. On the question ot taxation Mr. Me-
Cormick was not found wanting. His support
and sympathy has always proven to be with
the laboring classes. He has a watchful eye
to the farmers’ interest and has the energy
and conviction to oppose every measure of
Legislature that would be detrimental to the
tillers of the soil. Probably one of the most
important questions to be considered by the
next house will be the fence problem. He is
and always has been opposed to the repeal of
the no fence law, but shall use his influence
in favor of anold time fence law tobe hog
tight, bull strong and horse high and give the
poor man’s cow a chance. Boys get out the
vote and give John the compliment of which
he is so deserving.
