GEORGE N. BRANDON BANQUETTED.
— Perhaps there is nothing quite so sat-
isfactory to a man who, after having
passed a number of years in a certain
community, finds when he comes to de-
part therefrom that his mode of life and
his fellowship with men has been such
that his going will be sincerely regret-
ted. One feels that he has not lived in
vain if he is beloved by a single soul,
and how much greater the appreciation
when a body of a town’s most represent-
ative men gather to express a substan-
tial tribute of esteem when one of their
number has concluded that the time for
severing the ties ot friendship, which
daily contact bas strengthened, has
come.
On Monday evening fifty-two of
Bellefonte’s most reputable citizens,
men representing every branch of in-
dustrial interest in our town, sat about a
richly set banquetting board in the din-
ing room of the Brockerhoff house.
Very litile was said and the expectant
look on the countenances of all seemed
to indicate more plainly than words that
the party was not complete. Present-
ly the hall doors swung open and two
gentlemen were seen on the threshold.
They were George N. Brandon and
William C. Heinle Esq., the expres-
sion of the former was a study, indeed,
completely abashed by the undreamed
of scene that greeted his eye, while a
gladsome light flashed over his face as
the reality began to dawn. The latter’
beaming countenance told all too plain-
ly that the scheme to banquet Mr.
Brandon 1n his own hotel had proved
even more successful than anticipated.
Mr. Heinle escorted the guest of hon-
or to a seat at the right of the head of
the table and then, after a sweeping
giance down along the two rowsof faces,
he began explaining to Mr. Brandon
why all those people were there and
what had been the incentive to bring
them. The fact is that for five years
George N. Brandon has catered to the
wants of the guests of the Brockerhoff
house in a way which his own success
bears the best testimony. He came to
Bellefonte, from Easton, a complete
stranger who by his gentlemanly man-
ner at all times, charitable disposition
and indefatigable determination to take
care of his own business quickly won a
place in the hearts of many Bellefonters.
Realizing that the time had come when
Mr. Brandon was to depart his friends
could think of no more fitting way of
expressing their esteem for him than to
banquet him. When Mr. Heinle bad
concluded, he responded very teelingly
and assured his friends that that mo-
ment was one of the most satisfactory
of his life.
The banquet was served under the
direction of Mr. Henry Yeager, the vet-
eran caterer, and was all that could
have been desired. When the last
course had been gone through with
toast-master Heinle called on many of
the gentlemen for responses to toasts he
propesed. Among them were Reore
sentative Jas. Schofield. John M. Dale
E:q,S. H. Williams, J. A. McCargar,
John C. Miller, John G. B. Kinsloe,
elitor of the Lock Haven Ezpress, J.
A. Feidler, William Lvon, Moyer
Lyon, Col. Dunham, William and Lew
Grauer, J. M. Neubauer, the very af-
fable gentleman who will succeed Mr.
Brandon as proprietor of the Brocker-
hoff house, and others. All of the
responses were in that happy vein that
batrayed only too well the feeling of
hizh esteem thal is cherished here for
the man in whose honor it was given.
The whole affair was a delightful suc-
cess.
Mr. Brandon will leave Bellefonte
about the 1st of April for the new town
of Spangler, were he has built a large
hotel which he hopes to make quite a
summer resort. The best wishes of the
WATCHMAN go with him.
A Loxg DrAwN-ouT CASE.—A spe-
cinl term of court 18 now sitting in this
place, Judge Wilbur F. Sadler, of
Carlisle, presiding. The case being
tried, tor there is only one to come be-
fore it, is that of the Tyrone Mining
and Manufacturing Co., vs James Cross,
which involves about four hundred
acres of rich ore lands lying in Patton
and west Ferguson townships, this
county. It first came before the court
in 1887, the suit having been brought
as early as April, 1884, but a settlement
was effected and it did not come into the
courts until three years later. At that
time the Company won and the court re-
fused a new trial An appeal was car-
ried to the Supreme court in Oct, 1888,
where the ruling of thelowar court was
reversed. Atthe December court it was
tried here and Cross won, again an appeal
was carried to the Supreme Court and
again in 1889 it reversed the decision of
the lower court. The case was taken
up at the September Court, in '90, and
Cross won again. An appeal was made,
a year later, before Judge Krebs who
granted a new trial and it has now been
going on since Monday, with poor
chances of ending before next week.
It is a valuable piece of land heuce
the costly litigation. The ablest law-
yers in this district have been employed
and many of the best known surveyors
of the State have been called as wit-
nesses. Judges Cummings, Simonton
and Krebs, have already ruled on it and
now Sadler is bearing the testimony.
——The current report that the Car-
wensville Lumber Co., was in a strained
financial condition was a canard.
——Curwensville visitors to confer-
ence were R. D. Swoope, J. R. Irvin,
C. E. Patton, F. L. Arnold and H. B.
Thompson.
—— The Renova Press, the sprightly
little daily, which began life last fall
has suspended because of the ill health
of its boy editor, E. P. Kirk.
——Editor Harry A. Thompson, of
the Mt. Union Times, accompanied by
a Mr. Rex were conference visitors who
called at this office. Both were pleased
with the WATCHMAN'S home.
——A very distinguished looking
stranger on our streets during the week
has been Ex-Senator S. R. Peale, of
Lock Haven. He is interested in the
Cross case now being tried at court.
——The latest reports from Clifton
Springs carry the glad intelligence that
Joe W. Furey is slowly improving in
health. His physicians say that perfect
rest and time will effect a permanent
cure.
—— Four horses, two colts, five cows,
two salves, a lot of ducks, oats, hay,
implements and harness were burned up
by the fire that destroyed Mrs. Alex-
ander Ale’s log barn, near Warrior's
Mark, early last Friday morning.
——A Curwensville Democrat went
down to Cleveland’s inauguration and
upon his return was met at the door by
the nurse, who held a new girl baby up
to the wondering gaze of its pa. Not
abashed by the presence of the little
stranger he askad: “Girl or boy?
“Girl!” replied the nurse. ‘Name it
Ruth then’ said the father.
——George Hutchinson Esq., and
wife, of Warriors Mark, spant Sunday
in town, guests of the Brockerhoff.
Mr. Hutchinson was Sergeant-at-Arms
of the House during the last session of
the Legislature a:d now holds a posi-
tion in one of the Departments at Har-
risburg. They dined with General
Hastings Sunday evening.
——Among the new advertisements
this week will be found that of the
Wrought Iron Range Co., of St. Louis,
Mo., which 1s about to introduce its
ware into Centre county. Mr. 8 T.
Brashear, its gentlemanly agent, has
his head-quarters at Beech Creek
whence he will work over the entire
county. te
—— Mr. Thos. F. Gramly, one of
Harris township’s best citizens and
most reliable Democrats, has pulled up
stakes, and is now running a livery,
feed and sale stable in Punxsutawney.
There are few better fellows than Mr.
Gramly anywhere, and it is the earnest
hope of the WATCHMAN, that he way
find bis new location both pleasant and
profitable.
——Thos. J. Riley, accompained bv
his brother-in-law, Mr. Johnston,
wholesale liquor dealers in Pailipsburg,
were in towa on Tuesday to Lift their
liquor license which was granted by the
License court two weeks ago. Ex-mayor
Stuart Brouse and Lewis Grauer were
showing them around town and we ven-
ture the assertion that they bad a
pleasant. day.
—— After settiing up his business
here Mr. W. T. Sterratt departed for
his home in Miriam Park, Minn. on
Wednesday evening. Ho» sold his prop-
erty at State Colla, tha one occupied
by the late Joseph L Mitchell, to Mer.
W. C. Patterson, Sup’t of the Exper-
imental farm at the College. Mr. Ster-
rett just stayed long enough io impress
all those who had the pleasure of meet-
ing him most favorably.
——An exchange tells of a lady who
decided to scare her husband, who was
quite a hard drinker, so that he would
reform. To do this she procured a cos-
tume of a devil that had been worn at a
masquerade. The next time the erring
spouse came home feeling happy she
quickly donned the costume and as he
opened the door she stepped forward and
said in sepulchral tones. ‘Come with
me—I am the devil.” The result rather
startled her, as the response that greeted
her was : “Zat so? Shake, ol’ boy.
I'a your brother-in-law. I married
your sister.”
——John R. Clarke, who will deliver
his**To and Froin London,” in the Conrt
House one week from to-night, is no ex-
periment. He has been before the pub-
lic for nineteen seasons, and from all
parts of the country come the most flat-
tering reports of his ability. To those
who heard him during Institute week,
he lectured in the Court House the
night the home minstrel held forth in
the opera house, we need not commend
him, for it was hearing him once that
prompted the W. C. T. U. to get him
again, and while he comes here under
its management his “To and Fro” is by
no means a temperance lecture; but a
popular success, abounding in song, fun,
pathos, descriptive passages, stories of
real lite, bits of autobiography and
sketches of great men.
AN Answer To MiLLHEIM ReaD:
rs. —On Wednesday a letter, bearing
the Millheim posi-mark came to this
office. In it wasa question concerning
the fence laws of the Stats. Oae of our
Millheim readers claiming that no
fences at all are necessary under the
present law, the other contending that
the law does not apply to out-side
fences —that is, fences along the public
roads. In answer to their query we beg
to make the following statements.
What was known as the general
fence law was repealed by the Republi-
can Legislature in 1887 and since that
time there has been no law requiring
land owners to fence any part of their
property.
The fence question was an issue in
the last fall's Lisgislative fizht in this
county and the WATCHMAN explained
the situation many times during that
campaign.
Several cases have been tried in court
here, and before justicesin different parts
of the county, which have sprung direct-
ly from the fence question. In all of
the cases suit was brought by property
owners who had let their fences go
drwn and as a result nsighbors’ cows,
pasturing along public roads, trespassed
on the unfenced land. They were
promptly penned up and damages were
allowed.
A recent ruling of Judge Furst is to
the effect that a property owner is re-
quired to fence against his own cattle
only. That is if he wants to pasture he
must build fence or provide some way
of keeping his cattle on his own land or
be prepared to pay damages if they tres-
pass on a neighbor’s property. Uader
this ruling you will readily see that tbe
law does not require you to fence an
inch of your land and it will award you
damages if eattle or other out-side
agents causes it.
In conclusion we would say that un-
der the law now in force no fences what-
ever are required. Along the public
roads nor any-where else, and if any
person’s stock gets on your land yon
have a legal right to pen it up and hold
it until the owner of the same pays all
costs. Upon his refusal to do this the
law provides a way for disposal of the
trespassing animal.
Try VisiTEp THE COLLEGE.—On
Tuesday the Senate appropriation com-
mittee visited the Pennsylvania State
College ard made .a hurried, though
careful, examination of the manner in
which the institution is conducted.
The committee arrived in this place,
i from Lock Haven,in the morning at
10:25 and was taken direct to the Col-
lege by a special engine. The return
was made in time to connect with the
5:20 mail for Huntingdon.
A WATCHMAN reporter interviewed
several members of the committee and
found them well pleased with what they
saw at the College and it is highly pro-
bable that among other improvements
to be made soon there will be a beauti-
ful grand stand and athletic club house
erected on Beaver field.
The mem ers of the committees were :
George Handy Smith, of Philadelphia ;
W.S. Smith, of Lancaster; L. R.

Two KiLLep AT TYRONE. — Lest
Saturday morning was one freighted
with railroad fatalities to people living
along the Pennsylvania railroad, near
Tyrone. In the early morning James
A. Jacobs, aged 20, abrakeman on a
local freight was found dead on the
railroad tracks. Itissupposed that he
fell from his train and was killed.
A short time afterwards Owen Mec-
Graw was driving a horse and cart
across the tracks when the animal shied
at the Atlantic express, throwing Me-
Graw out in front of the train. It
catt his head entirely off.
Before either one of these unfortu-
nates were killed a big freight wreck
occurred near Barree, in Huntingdon
county. M. S. Smith, night operator,
turned the wrong switch and a ‘‘double
header” going west collided with a
freight going east. Twenty-one cars
and three engines were piled up. One
of the firemen was buried under the
wreckage. Four wrecking crews labor-
ed all morning to clear the tracks and
by afternoon trains were running
through. The passenger train on the
Bald Eagle Valley road was over two
hours late in reaching this place io con-
sequence of the wreck.
A BeLreroNTER HONORED.—At 8

ident of tha association. Mr. Short-
lidge bas aiways taken an active interest

Goop NEWS FOR THE PREACHERS. —
An exchange publishes the following
bit of news which will doubtless tickle
| many of our half starved, unpaid minis.
. terial brethren : The Supremes court of
for your Pannsylvania has decidsd that a minis-
ter has a right to pay himself wages
‘out of the money collected by him for
church purposes. The dispute was a
matter of $500 a year. The minister
paid himself $1,500 a year; the church
thought he should have but $1,000.
| The court declared that $1.500 was none
too much fora minister and awarded
! him that sum .

three years and his death, at the ad-

u expected. He came to Bellefonte in
18838, having run away from his owner,
in Maryland. His erect figure made
him one of the most noticeable of our

——-Yesterday morning William T.
Hillibish, of this place, received a tele-
gram that stated that his older brother,
Joseph, who had been in the hardware
business in Bradford, Pa., for years, was
ill and could not recover. An hour later
the sad intelligence of his death was re-
ceived. but no explanation as to its
cause. Ha was the third son of the late
Nicholas Hillibish of this place and
leaves a wife, two sisters, Mrs. Roland
Cheeseman, of Washington, D. C. and
Martha, who lives here, and five broth-
ers John, Edward, George, and Frank,
of Canton, Ohio, and William of this
place. Heissaid to have been very
prosperous in business. Deceased was
born on the 11th of April, 1848. His
widow was a Miss Hildrith, of Em-
porium.
ForGED CHECK ON THE FIRST Na-
TIONAL.—For some time sharpers have
‘been at work in Lock Haven passing
worthless checks. Sometime ago we
mentioned the fact that the firm name
of J. A. Harper & Co., of this place,
had been forged for small amounts and
the checks paid by Lock Haven mer-
chants. The sharpers u:ually go into a
store, purchase a small bill of goods,
and offer a check of a larger amount for
payment, receiving the differencein cash.
When the merchant presented the check
at his bank for payment he found it to
be wort bless.
These scamps have been keeping up
a systematic robbery in this way, forg-
ing the checks on Williamsport, Tyrone
and Bellefonte banks.
On Wednesday evening two of the
gharpers went to Elliott's clothing store
in Lock Haven, the one ordering a suit
and offering as deposit a check on the
First National bank of Belletonte, pay-
able to Clyde J. Thomas and signed by
A. G. Morris, the lime-stone operator,of
Tyrone. It was for $16 and the forger
asked for the difference of $8, between
the amount of deposit and the price of
the suit, to be paid him in cash. This
Mr. Elliott refused and kept the entire
check. He was not satisfied thatall
was right and telephoned up here only
to find out that Mr. Morris does not
keep an account here and that the check
was a forgery. Lock Haven police are
hard at work on the case.
