Oa motion of Wilbur F. Raeder,
Esq., Howard B. Hariswick, of Clear-
field, was on Wednesday morning ad-
mitted to practice law in the courts of
Centre county. After which court ad-
journed.
This was one of the briefest sessions
ever held in the county and if work
were done at all times with such dis-
patch there would be far less expense
arising from our court. Perhaps the
fact that the court room was thoroughly
cleaned out and a bright new carpet
placed in the bar, with new matting in
the aisles had something to do with the
expeditious manner in which the work
was carried through.

earthquake had caught them last Friday
morning when the dynamite factory of
that place had blown up. Three em-
ployees of the works, Wm. King, Geo.
Lyons and Fred Badger, wera blown to
atoms. King was blown 400 feet and
the largest part of his body found
weighed only six pounds. The explo-
sion shook the whole town and it was
feared many of the buildings would fall
because of the severe rocking motion
given the ground by the terrific concus-
sion. It is not known what causad the

——Will a merchant who is wise,

boy hates a drum, when no politician
schemes, when mince pie makes pleas-
ant dreams, when its fun to break a

when the drummer has no brass—
when all these things come to pass—
then the merchant who is wise, may

THE BELLEFONTE Post OFFICE A
MoNEY- MAKER. — Looking over the
annual report of the Auditor of the
Treasury for the Post-office Department
wo noticed that for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1892, the Bazlletonte office
had $9,614,20 gross receipts. A. salary
of $2100 was paid the post master, the
three clerks received $1500, the four
carriers received $3,414,10 and in-
cidentals amounted to $398,96. Leav-
ing a netrevenue to the government of
$2,201,14.
The receipts of the Philipsburg
office were $8,738,568. The postmaster
received $2000, his clerks were paid
$900 and incidentals amounted to $892,
36. Leaving a net income of $4,946,22

Tae BEeLLEFoNTE Furnace Co.,
Resumes OPERATIONS.--At exactly
half past seven o'clock on Monday
morning Miss Helen Ceaders, the bright
little daughter of Joseph Ceaders the
Allegheny street baker and confection-
er, applied the torch which put the
great furnaca of the Bellefonte Furnace
Company in this place, in blast. Since
February 1891 the big iron plant had
been standing as silent as if no breath
of life had ever pulsed through its
flues and the restless throbbing of tha
pumps which had become such & por-
tentious sound in our industrial world
was silent as the grave. The idleness
of such an industry meant thousands of
dollars of loss to Bellefonte and it was
quite natural that its resumption should
have been hailed with delight.
At the furnace, in the quarries where
the lime stone for the flux is procured,
at Graysdale mines and at the Red bank
mines the company employs over three
hundred men. Such a force makes quite
a showing in the business of a town.
The first run of iron was made on
Wednesday morning and it is to be hoped
that the good work will continue for
many years.

FRIGHTFUL DROWNING ACCIDENT AT
Lock HAVEN.—During the high wind
storm of last Thursday afternoon the
scow used by the Queen’s Run Fire
Brick Co., of Lock Haven, to transport
clay from the mines, at the mouth of
Qaeen’s Run, to the company’s works
in Lock Haven, capsized in mid river,
three men drowning before aid could
reach them.
Owing to the rough water the boat
had not been loaded up to its capacity
of seventy-five tons of clay and when 1t
left the Queen’s Run wharf for the trip
down the river it carried only fifty ton
| and 23 small cars. Besides thescow’screw,
Harry Long, engineer ; Mack Boyle,
wheelman and Thomas Reed, bowsman,
there were on board : Cornelius Packer,
who had been up the river looking after
some logs, Fred Sonn, a German, Ar-
thur Thomas, colored and a Frenchman
from Peale, whose name was unknown.
The latter three had been up the river
fishing and were returning to the city.
The trip down the river was about
balf made when a severe wind squall
struck them, dashing the waves over the
side of the scow and soaking the clay.
It became so heavy that the cars all fell
over to the one side and the boat careen-
ed. Wheelman Boyle saw the danger
and headed her for shore, but she filled
so rapidly on the one side that she turn-
ed clear over and “he only escaped
through a window of the wheel-house.
All of the men jumped, then scrambled
back onto the bottom of the scow when
she turaed over. Reed who had drifted
some forty feet away was advised to
swim for shore as it was only a short
distance off. He seemed dazed and af-
ter struggling round a little sank from
sight and was notseen again. Just then
Sonn and the Frenchmen were missed
and it was remembered that they had not
been seen after the boat turned. The
men were taken off by row boats from
shore and tramped down to Lock Haven
to tell their sorrowful tale.
Thomas Reed, one of the drowned
men, was about 24 years old, and was a
son of Daniel Reed, ot East Main street.
He was an industrious young man, and
had many friends. Fred Sonn went to
Lock Haven from Hazleton, and at one
time worked in the coal mines in that
vicinity. He wa: an inoffensive Ger-
man, and recently become a member of
the East Main street M. E. church. Of
the Peale man, little is known, except
that he was a Frenchman.
The Queen’s Run company valued the
scow at $3,600. It was righted on
Wednesday afternoon and will be got-
ten ready for work immediately,
No sign of the dead bodies has been
seen.
FINKBINDER'S PHOTOGRAPH GAL-
LERY BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE.—A
loud rumbling noise following by the
crash of broken timbers alarmed pedes-
trians on West High street yesterday,
Thursday, afternoon, and the clouds of
dust and smoke that rolled up from the
rear of Jas. Harris & Co’s. hardware
store told plainly enough that something
extraordinary had happened.
For some time workmen had been at
work at the rear of the hardware tear-
ing away the frame house on Water
street, adjoining Finkbinder’s phot: =
graph gallery, and the building being
removed it was necessary to do consid-
erable quarrying before a foundation
could be had fora ware house which
James Harris will build on the lot. The
blasts were all quite light up till noon
yesterday, little damage if any having
been done to surrounding property.
Then it became necessary to put in a
heavy charge to blow off the side of a
knob of rock which stood in the way of
the workmen. A nine foot hole was
drilled and charged and before it was
fired old lumber was piled over itso as
arrest the flight of small stones.
When the blast was set off the great
rocks flew with terrific force against the
adjacent photograph gallery. Crashing
in its side and carrying the broken tim-
ber with them, they ploughed their way
clear through the building and fell
in the yard of the Van Treese property
next door.
The operating room is a complate
wreck. All the photographic scenery
and appliances are burried beneath the
debris. Fortunately there was very lit-
tle fire in the stove at the time for as it
was knocked over the coals rolied out
in the wreck and there might have been
a fire to complete the destruction.
Neither Mr. Finkbinder nor his em-
ployee were in the building at the time
and it is fortunate that they were not,
for both would undoubtedly have been
killed.

decade since. During the fore part of the
week he was in Philadelphia where his pres-
ence enlisted much interest. He was honor-
ed on all sides by friends of the days when he
was active in political life and who like himself
are fast declining. His visit to Harrisburg
was one of unusual interest, for when back at
the State capitol, where once his great mind
held the course of the Commonwealth during
the country’s darkest hour, straight in right, a
new life seemed to have infused him. All of
the State buildin gs were visited and many of
his old friends were met. His appearance on

EE a SES XR
longed cheers and straightway the following
resolutions was unanimously passed: “extend-
ing to him its patriotic greeting, with a cordial
expression of esteem and a hope that he may
long live in health and prosperity among the
people he 0 ably and heroically represented
and defended in the crisis of the great rebel-
lion.”

brought quite a curiosity home with her
from Lock Haven. It was presented
to her by Miss Furst. It is part cat

tail and body are rabbit. It eats and
plays like a cat and jumps like a rabbit.
The least noise frightens it very much
and it will jump straight up with its
