visible in the heavens. It is many
times larger than a full moon and is

miles.
ERGY:
StrANGE METEORIC Visrrtors.—This
community has been thrown into a fev-
er of excitement by the falling of sever-
al fire bails of undoubted meteoric origin.
Coming as they have, just when a great
comet is absorbing public atiention |
they bave caused no litle apprehension |
from certain classes of people hers and |
local astronomers are kept busy answer-
ing the wild questions of those who
have been frightened into believing that
the earth is soon tc be bombarded from
the heavens.
Several weeks ago pede:trisns, on
Bishop street, were dazzled by a bril-
liant flash of light that seemed traveling
from east to west. The phenomenon
was noticed just at mid-day and at the
time very little atlention was given it
For, singular as it may seem, each
individual who saw it thought that it
was imiginary, but upon the subsequent
finding of a meteoric stone, which had
fallen in front of St. John’s Catholic
church, on Bishop street, they began to
tell of their strange experience of the
day before. I'ive or six of the most rep-
utable business men in the town,
among whom are Cyrus Strickland and
William H. Grenninger, witnessed it
and now tell the same story. They say
that the meteoric spark, or whatever it
is, appeared to them to be intensely
brilliant and was flying at lightning
speed. As the sky was perfectly cloud-
less there can be no doubt that the
flinity stone, resembling an orangs in size
and shape, found next day, is the cooled
off fire ball which had shot over their
heads,
On last Friday morning William
Robinson, a well-to-do farmer, who
lives near Hecla Furnace, a few miles
below Bellefonte, was going .out to his
barn to feed the stock. It was just half
past five o’clock and quite dark. He
had almost reached the barn when his
attention was arrested by a peculiar
hissing noise overhead. He stood riveted
to the spot, as a ball of fire went shoot-
ing by. It struck the earth, in a corn
field, a short distance away, and Mr:
Robinson says that when it lit little
sparks flew off in all directions. He ad-
mits that he was somewhat frightened,
as a number of Adventists in that sec-
tion are firm in the belief that there 1S
to be an end of things earthy next
month, and ran to the house for his
brother. Together they proceeded to
the spot where the ball had fallen and
sure enough it was there sizzling and
steaming away in a little pool of water
caused by melted snow. The brothers
were afraid to approach it at first, but as
it cooled off they grew more courageous
and finally William picked it up. Ev-
en then it burned his hands but upon
waiting til it cooled, they were
able to make a careful examination of
it. Finding that it was a flint stone,
according to their notion of its composi-
tion, they brought it right up to this
place where a number of persons sug-
gested that it be givento John W.
Moore, a local astronomer. He made
an analysis of it with the following re-
sult: It weighed a trifle over two
pounds and resembled ckeré, which is
abundantly found in both Nittany and
Penns’ valleys. In composition it was
90 per cent. silica and 10 per cent. water.
Many were the speculations as to the
probable origin of the fiery visitors, but
since Prof. Holmes’ comet, has come to
claim so much attention, most every
one is now prepared to argue some rela-
tion between the cooled off stones on
exhibition here and the monster comet
which is cavorting through space at the
rate of 400 miles per second.
Loox Our ¥or THE GoLD Brick
SWINDLER~—-Our exchanges are telling
how a Lycoming county farmer who
d:d’nt read the papers was neatly swin-
dled by a gold brick scheme. "He was
led to believe that the gold brick had
been brought east by an Indian, and
by representations that it was worth $5,
000 he was induced to make an advance
on prowise of an equal division of the
full price. ?
A confederate of the swindler, repre-
senting himself as an expert from the
United States mint made a test of it and
pronounced it good. The money was
paid and the farmer went to a jeweler
to have the nugget tested. Upon dis-
covering that he had been victimized he
concealed his identity.
District Attorney Reily has received
information that leads him to believe
that ke can capture the swindlers, and
is now making an effort to find the vie-
tim.

CRITI ALERT, TIEN RE
Is He A Liar ?—Fred Comley.
{ tells the following dog story in the Cur-
| wensville Reveiw, of last Saturday. We
“don’t like to doubt his veracity because
we think a Centre county animal cap-
able of doing almost anything, yet we
, are afraid Mr. Comley spreads it on a
little too thick.
“He tells that he knew of a family
: that lived in Unionville, Centre county,
| They immigrated to the far west—Kan-
{sa3. A dog accompanied them on their
journey. After they arrived at their
destination and had gotten fairly settled
in their new home the dog concluded
that he did not like Kansas atmosphere.
The faraily arcse one morning at an ear-
ly bourand missed the canine. They
| wrote a letter to a friend in their
former home stating that the animal
had disappeared and in their opinion he
bad been either killed or stolen. Now
comes the peculiar part of the story.
Comley states that in just three days
from the time the dog left Kansas he
was back in Unionville, he having
traveled the entire distance on foot, that
his legs were worn off up to the knee
joints. Kind friends tock him in and
cared for him and in a short time new
feet, toes and claws commenced to grow
out of the knee joints and the dog is liv-
ing to-day, aged 72 years, 9 months
and 30} days.”

STRICKEN WITH APOPLEXY ON THE
STREET.— While going from the Foun-
tain house, where he lives, to the home
of L. T. Munson, on Saturday evening,
Dr. George M. Swartz was stricken with
a slight stroke of apoplexy.
‘When he left the Fountain house he
was feeling all right, but by the time he
reached John B. Linn’s residence, on
Allegheny street, a strange numbness
seemed stealing over him. His cane
dropped from’ his hand without his
knowing it and he wandered on to the
Howard street crossing where he lost
control of his right limb. He swung
around in a dazed sort of away and fell
over in the street. Some passers by
noticed his condition and helped him
back to the hotel where he gradually
recovered the use of his right side.
Dr. Swartz is quite an cld gentleman
and altogether a likely subject for
apoplexy.
