Three prisoners awaiting trans-

near escaping from the Lycoming coun-

out on the roof when discovered and

three or four dollars in change.
‘When John Miller, the boy who has
charge of out-going mails, opened the
office Wednesday morning he noticed
that the place was filled with powder
smoke. At first he was a trifle frighten-
ed, but further investigation proved that
the place had been visited during the
night by persons not on the list of em-
ployees. A sky light in the rear of the
office furnishes light for the distributing
clerks, whose racks are immediately un-
der it, and from the table of one of these
Miller noticed a long ladder running up
to the opening in the ceiling where a
window sash had been taken out.
Things were in & generally ‘topsy-
turvy’’ condition. There was water all
over the floor, fuse and powder lying on
top of the safe. By the time the carriers
began to report for duty and post-master
Feidler arrived at the office there was
the greatest excitement. A large crowd
had gathered in front of the building
and many wild rumors were sent afloat
by the fellows who do nothing else.
From all appearances the robbery was
perpetrated about as follows: A ladder
was procured at the back of the Arcade
building, where the workmen are busy
repairing the damages done by the re-
cent fire. A transom was taken out of
the sky light and the ladder run down.
Once in the office the robbers opened all
the drawers that were locked, by cutting
away the wood near the locks and forc-
ing the drawers open. The change
drawer under the stamp window was the
only one that contained any money and
its, contents did not amount fo more
than $3 or $4. This they took, all but
a few pennies. Then the stamp drawer
underneath it was opened and the
stamps taken out and carefully wrapped
in tissue paper. After this had been
done they went back and began work
on the safe. A hole was drilled clear
through the top and a charge of powder
putin. 1t was evident that the explo-
sion scared the fellows off for everything
indicates that the work was dropped
just as soon as the explosion went off.
The stamps which they had so carefully
wrapped up were forgotten in their
haste to get away. The safe was scarce-
ly damaged at all by the explosion but
its contents, valuable papers and books,
were badly burned by the powder.
The cracksmen would ,have had to fill
the whole inside of the safe with explo-
sives before they could have blown it
open by the way they went at it. How-
ever the thing has caused a great lot of
excitement.
It is evident that some one who knew
all about the place was implicated, but
who ever it was they might have known
that all of the post-office funds are taken
to the bank every night.
AxNorTuER OPPORTUNITY.—Those who
were so unfortunate as not to have heard
Hon. H. M. Hinckley, of Danville,
who spoke in the court house for the
Young Men’s Christian Association
some weeks ago will do well to avail
themselves of this, another opportunity
to hear that gentleman lecture, in the
court house, on Monday evening, Dec.
19th. Subject “Saul—Paul” or “Tha
Manliness of Christianity” given under
the auspices of the Young Mens Chris-
tian Association. Mr. Hinckley is the
author of this lecture and his delivery
of it is a master effort. His oratory is
sublime and the intense personality
with which Le invests his lectures is all
inspiring. His eloquence is unsurpassed
and his exposition of the conversion of
“Saul of Tarsus’ into “Paul the Apos-
tle” will no doubt have the effect of en-
lightening those who bave not
heard him on that grand bi-
blical event. You will not only be
repaid by hearing the lecture, but
will help along the Young Men’s Chris-
tian Association, which is endeavoring
to increase and better its facilities for
the comfort and welfare of Bellefonte’s
young men. The association needs help
to get on a good footing and money is
one grea; need. Surely all will avail
themselves of this chance to show their
appreciation of its efforts by turning
out next Monday evening, Dec. 19th, at
8 p. m., At the court house. Admis-
sion 25 cents.
Orr—KocH.—Wednesday evening at
6 o'clock a very pretty wedding cere-
mony was pertormed at the home of
Franklin Koch, about two miles east
of this place, which united his youngest
daughter, Ida M., to Alfred L. Ott,
of Axe Mann, Rev. Houshour, of the
Luteranb church of Belletonte, officiat-

Furey, Sue Koch and Jennie Ott all look
ed radiant in gowns of handsome texture
while the groomsmen, Whitmer Ott,
James Strausser and Samuel Hazel hon-
ored the groom by their dignified bear-
ing. A large number of friends and |
relatives witnessed the ceremony and |
many useful presents were received. !
The hapyy couple left on the 8:54 train |

wishes of the WATCHMAN be with them.

Bellefonte, on the Milesburg pike, was
severely injured, last Friday morning,
by being hit by a flying rock from a
blast which had just been put off.
Shultz was riding out of the quarry on
the back of his car and did not know
that the blast was being put off when a
great rock struck him on the back in-
flicting painful wounds. He was taken
to his home, in Milesburg, where he is
getting along nicely.

burning has not been used since the Lo-

The fire was undoubtedly of in-
so much news:

BELLEFONTE, Dec. 15th.
Dear Marion:—One would suppose
that you lived across the continent in-
stead of the Nittany Mountain from the
number of times you have postponed
that long promised visit, and could I
forget that we are especially enjoined to
be at peace with all our fellow creatures
at this season of the year, I think I
wculd accept your excuses as purely
imaginary.
Your letter with copyright protee-
tion would have brought Bill Nye a
good round sum ; but to me, it brought
the idea that you were encouraging the
“old croakers’”’, who imagine that Xmas
has degenerated into a mere season of
gift giving through custom and expeet-
ancy. I will acknowledge that many
people make Christmas a burden instead
of a blessing, but why do you follow in
i
‘their footsteps when you know that it is
all wrong. My purse is actually so thin
this Winter that I feared a collapse ;
but with some care and a great deal of
thought I found it was possible to re-
member every one of the friends, with
out asking a cent of Helen Gould.
For mother we all went together and
boughtan oak rocker, at Eddie Brown’s.
The chair is quite artistic, with its olive
plush cushion and high back ; but we
were charmed with its comfort and
price. Furniture of every description,
from a foot rest toa chamber suit fills
his store rooms. And while Ido not
know who all you are going to remem-
ber this year I do know that any of
the old “regulars” could be made happy
by a gift from Brown’s.
Men are so thoughtless and selfish as
they grow older that Xmas ought to
come six times a year to open up their
hearts and if it did, I am convinced, we
could always find something nice at
Faubles, in handkerchiefs, neckwear,
gloves or clothing. I bought Frank an
alligator bag, not that he wanted it es-
pecially ; but it can be used by us all,
and that is the principle he carries out
in selecting my presents.
Sechler’s groceries’ are so fresh and
clean that they are a luxury as well as a
necessity. I am going to order two bask.
ets of them to be sent to Mrs. Miller and
Miss Mary on Christmas eve with my
good wishes. His candies are the most
delicious I have tasted for some time
and while I know you have no little
onesin your own family I remember
your fond ness fersweets, and those in-
teresting Sunday school cherubs.
Last Christmas I supplied my pro-
tegees with knit slippers; but after a
years experience have concluded that
Mingle’s felt ones are just as warm, just
as cheap and more lasting
the new buttoned patent leathers ; and
patent leathers, of Blucher cut and his
gum boots for men, women, and children
are certainly bargains.
At Irvin's, you know they bought out
McFarlane’s some time ago, we found
just the sleds that Harold and Norman
are expecting. The scissors and carv-
ing sets were just as suggestive of the
wants of dear friends ; but we used our
surplus on a good lamp for Aunt Kate.
Lydia always did cure for the luxuries
of life and she is to be presented with a
chiffon handkerchief from Cooke’s “Bon
Marche” and while they had them as
low as twenty-five cents we preterred a
deeply embroidered one that cost a little
more. They havea nice assortment of
gloves, underwear and notions, and I
would advise you to see their handker-
chiefs before buying elsewhere.
‘With the present rage for silver. Why
don’t you go to Richards for Lottie’s
present ? The fad for coftee spoons has
reached its height ; but now comes the
desire for teaspoons and never was
there a more sensible craze. Richard’s
have gold and silver hair pins, sterling
goap, stamp and bon-bon boxes and their
stick pins are worthy of your most fas-
tidious friend.
Mingle has
Practical John and you ought to
travel together for he believes in labor
saving machinery for women as well as
men and consequently invested in a
washing machine at McCalmont’s. If
your congregation is going to do ' the
handsome thing for its pastor, give him
one of their buggies.
The spices of Araby and the roses of
Damascus are not more pleasing than
the perfumes you can get at Green’s al-
so the most unique novelties. I have
seen this winter are in his show cases.
Fancy work is not out of style by any
means ; but time is so precious with us
that our talent is confined to mittens
and table centres the materials of which
we get at Meyers Cash Bazar.
Toilet articles and pure drugs are
my delight and when you come to use
of my supply I know you wili acknow-
ledge that I used good judgment in

Hoxors For A CENTRE COUNTIAN.—-
The Harrisburg Patriot says: Colonel
John A. Woodward, Monday formally
eutered upon his duties as deputy execu.
tive commissioner of the board of
World's fair managers of Pennsylvania.
Colonel Woodward has been connected
with the board of World’s fair managers
for several months as assistant executive
commissioner in charge of the commit-
tees on agriculture, live stock, public
schools exhibit and other important
committees. He is deeply interested in
the success of Pennnsylvania’s exhibit at
the great exposition and bas frequently
been commended by the state and na-
tional board for the advanced shape in
which he has his work. His promotion

Bali, in Bush’s Arcade. The full Or-
pheus orchestra will be on hand to fur-
nish the music.
In these dances, which our fire-men
give annually, are combined two pur-
poses. The one to afford = little social
pleasure for the members of the com-
pany and their friends; the other to
make what money they can out of it.
The borough appropriates $100 a year
for tke running expenses of each com-
pany, but such a beggarly pittance goes
a very short way toward securing them
comfort in their houses. In many in-
stances assessments have been made on
the members for the maintenance of a
service for the protection of public prop-
erty. Surely that is not right. The
only way for us to correet it is to lib-
érally patronize every entertainment
given under the auspices of our fire de-
partment. Buy tickets to the dance
whether you go or not. The money
will be well spent, Every penny helps.
The logans are especially in need of
your hearty support, because they un-
dertook to purchase a steamer and have
several payments to make on it yet.
If you are asked to buy a ticket, do
it. Help the boys along. You will not
miss fifty cents and it will mean a great
deal to them.
GAME WAS ABUNDANT THERE.—On
last Saturday morning Andrew Lone-

He was one of a party of six gentlemen,
five of whom were from Chester county,
who were the guests of Isaac Barber, a
noted hunter and woodsman, of that dis-
trict. Game seemed extremely plenty
said Mr. Loneberger and judging from
the amount they got it must have been.
Six deer, a bear, three coons, thirty-two
pheasants, eight grey rabbits and two
white ones is the sum total of what their
guns brought down.
