THE BoroUGH DADS AT IT AGAIN. —
Bellefonte council never seems to want
for work and when the semi-monthly
meetings come around there is invar-
iably a lot of business that needs look-
ing after. ‘We have neither time nor in-
clination to go into a discussion of how
well the town’s business is cared for by
the citizens elected for that purpose,
but it is safe to say that of all the |
councils elected there seems to be no
radical reforms inaugurated so it is nat-
ural to conclude that they are all ‘‘tar-
red with the samestick.”
The meeting on last Monday night
had nothing unusual as its out-come
and elicited very little interest. The
fact being that since the cows demon-
strated so forcibly their ability to run
the town the citizens have wisely taken
a back seat and are serenely biding the
time when Bellefonte borough will be
quoted along with other stock yards.
Council was called to order with
members Dartt, Garman, Hillibish,
Gerberich, Williams and Potter in their
places. After the approval of the min-
utes of the previous meeting commun-
ications were heard. Among them were
several asking for improvements on
streets and one request for tax exonera-
tion.
The Street committee reported a
number of sewer repairs as well as its
list of property owners upon whom de-
mands will be made immediately to re-
pair their boardwalks and comply with
other borough ordinances.
The Water committee reported its
work wellin hand, but owing to the
constant breaking of the old pipesin use
the work is very expensive.
Under nuisances a stench was report”
ed rising from the sewer which runs
down Lamb street to Spring creek. It
is said that there is not sufficient water
running under the east side of the
bridge to carry ‘the sewerage away.
Council gave orders to have the course
of the stream diverted so as to abate the
nuisance.
Borough solicitor Dale was author-
ized to notify residents along the new
street on the extreme eastern boundary
of the borough to have it opened for
traffic by June 10th. If it is not com-
plied with by that time the street com-
missioner has orders to do the work.
The new street will cross Bishop, High,
Howard, Lam#, Linn and Curtin and
will be known as Wilson street.
Mr. Gerberich, chairman of the Fi-
nance committee, announced that it
would be necessary to lay the following
tax rate: ‘three mills for streets, two
mills borough and six mills interest.
After the consideration of a number
of minor matters and the approval of
bills council adjourned.
McCoy & LINN'S CHAIN WORKS
Booming. —It is with considerable sat-
isfaction that we note the enlargement
of the MeCoy & Linn chain works be-
low town. Several years ago the old
wire mill, which stood on the Milesburg
pike, was transformed into a chain mill
where part of the product of the McCoy
& Linn iron furnace is being worked
up for the various markets into which
it finds its way. The plant started off
as a very modest little affair and as time
has rolled on its output of chain has
been so much in demand that tke capac.
ity has been constantly increased. Just
recently an addition to the works has
been made until nearly 50 skilled chain-
makers, together with a dozen or more
helpers, now find daily employment
there.
The superior qualities of the chains
made from charcoal iron makes the pro-
duct of the McCoy & Linn works very
salable. Itis the WATCHMAN’S wish
that the demand for the chain may be-
come so great ere very long as to necessi-
tate the tripling of the present capaci-
ty.
DickrINsON VERSUS STATE COLLEGE.
--The ball club from Dickinson college,
at Carlisle, journeyed up to State Col-
lege on Saturday to get revenge for the
dfubving their foot ball team got at
Harrisburg last Thanksgiving, but they
were disappointed, for the ball players
at Centre county’s big educational in-
stitution were too much for them and
the game resulted in the score of 13 to 9.
The threatening weather of the morn-
ing had much to do with the small at-
tendance, but those who did risk the
elements were well ertertained with the
game. While there was nothing of the
“gilt edge” order about the ball that
was played, yet the heavy batting and
the few good plays made coupled with
the blunders of the visitors made the
game fairly interesting.
Finissep 'WirH THIS COUNTY.—
The Home Comfort Range company
which has been operating in Centre
county during the past few weeks has
suspended operations in this. section for
a while. During the stay of the agents
of this company they placed a great
many wrought iron ranges in Centre
county homes. All of which, so far as
we have been able to learn have given
entire satisfaction. The stoves were
handled from Beech Creek whence Mr.
Brashear, the superintendent, sent his
agents in all directions. They were an
honest, straightforward party of men and
did a good business on tair principles.
——DRegular passenger trains will be.
gin running over the Clearfield and
Mahoning rail-road on Monday May
29th.
——Charles Hoover, the Lycoming
county man who was murdered in a
drunken brawl, was a son of Mrs. Jesse
Kreamer, deceased, late of Millheim,
—~——Mrs. John Baisor, nee Miss
Mary Mattern, of Scotia, whohas been
so seriously ill for four months with in-
flammatory rheumatism, is so much bet.
ter that she is able to be about.
——Johnstown policemen arrested
twenty-three cows in one ward in that
city one day last week. We would
like to see officers Montgomery and
Gares go into the South ward of Belle-
fonte and try such a business.
——While the sexton of the DuBois
Lutheran church was ringing his con-
gregation to devotionals last Wednes-
day evening, the bell gearing broke and
the bell fell to the bottom of the tower.
It is a little disfigured but still in the
ring.
——The body of Mrs. Kate Sebastian,
the colored woman who has been miss-
ing from Jersey Shore for some time
was found in the river the other day.
Boom hands on the boom below Linden
bridge discovered her among the logs.
As the woman had been of an unsound
mind the coroner’s jury returned a ver-
dict of suicide by drowning.
-——Thos. B. Kellar, clerk at the Em-
pire House in Tyrone, went fishing at
Roaring Springs one day last week and
was seized with an attack of vertigo
while standing on the bank of the
stream. He fell into the water and
would have drowned had not a compan-
ion pulled him out. As it was it re-
quired two bours rolling to resuscitate
him.
——Sam Loyd, the mathematician
and author of the famous ¢15 Puzzle”
is said to have discovered the presence
of the ““Wolt” in simple addition, as in
music, and has woven the principle into
a little puzzle for the explanation of
which a Mason & Hamlin organ is offer-
ed. As mentioned in our advertising
columns the mathematical, mystery is
being sold for the benefit of the Press
Club Building and Charity Fund for
one dime.
——The marriage of Miss Mary Fish-
er to Mr. Edmund S. Holmes, of
Moorestown, N. J., was celebrated at
the home of the bride's parent’s, near
Unionville, on Thursday of last week,
the Friends ceremony being observed.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. Wm. P.
Fisher, proprietor of the extensive Bald
Eagle nurseries, her husband being a
worthy young husbandman from New
Jersey. Only the immediate relatives
witnessed the ceremony.
——The large steam saw mill of
Schoonover & Stewart at Winburne,
Clearfield Co., caught fire last Friday
morning and burned to the ground.
The mill was new and according to the
Philipsburg Ledger cost $25,000. Two
houses owned be Sommerville & Buch-
annan, together with $10,000 worth of
lumber, helped make the fire a disastrous
one for Winburne. Schoonover & Stew-
art had no insurance at all, while the
two dwellings were partly insured. The
fire originated in the boiler room of the
mill.
——The frame dwelling house at
State College owned and occupied by
Frank Gates and family was totally de-
stroyed by fire on Sunday night §about
twelve o'clock. The building was sit-
uated on Beaver avenue and is suppos-
ed to have caught from the explosion of
a lamp in the hands of Mrs. Gates.
When the first alarm was given many
of the residents and students turned out
and the flames were quickly extinguish-
ed, but scarce had the people returned
to their homes when asecond alarm was
given and the same house was discov-
ered on fire again. This time it burned
clear down and very little of it’s con-
tents wassaved. Mr. Gates carried full
insurance.
MARRIED.-— Tuesday evening May
16th, at the residence of the bride’s par-
ents, corner of Bishop and Spring
streets, by the Rev. W. A. Houck.
Miss Katherine H. Stott and Mr. Wil-
liam R. Jenkins.
The wedding although a quite home
affair was considered, by those who had
the honor to be present, un exceptionally
pretty one. Miss Kate the bride, is the
oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James
Stott and is well known throughout
this community having been connected
with our postoffice for three years as
stamp clerk, besides being a musician of
more than ordinary talent. The groom,
one of our most prominent and progres-
sive citizens, is senior member of the
firm of Jenkins & Lingle, machinists,
and a part owner of the Bellefonte Sup-
ply House.
To Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, who will be
“at home’’ after June lst, at their High
street residence, we extend our sincere
congratulations and wishes for an un-
clouded future.

THE SEASON’S FIRST SHOW .— Walter
L. Main’s big railroad show proved all
that was claimed for it at the two per-
formances here Friday afternoon and
evening. The trapeze performers and
tumblers were artists of exceptional
ability. Walter L. Main is undoubted-
ly a great showman. Only a few years
ago he started out with a small wagon
circus, visiting only small towns. This
year he has probably the finest equipped
eircus on the road. Everything is new.
in the afternoon and evening the in-
numerable variety of performances were
above the ordinary, and the audience at
each performance was well pleased.
The show did not arrive in town until
10 o’clock Friday morning, owing to a
wreck on the railroad and the transfer
from the Baltimore & Ohio to the Penn-
sylvania railroad. The parade was de-
layed, consequently, till 2 o’clock in the
afternoon, but when it did come it was
big. Many of the animals’ cages were
open during the parade, and the ele-
phants, camels and Arabian ponies, rid-
den by Arabs and Turks, presented a
picturesque appearance. Large crowds
from neighboring towns and country
were circus visitors, — Connellsville
Courier of Friday, May 5th, 1893,
Main’s circus will be in Bellefonte on
Saturday, May 27th.
KiLLED oN THE MILESBURG BRIDGE.
—A sad accident occurred on the rail-
road near Milesburg shortly after one
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, in
which the venerable Thomas Eckert, of
Snow Shoe Latersection, lost his life,
He had been in this place during the
morning and about noon started to walk
home. All went well until the bridge
which spans the Bald Eagle creek on
this side of Milesburg was reached.
The old man was crossing it and had
gotten about to the middle when he
raised his eyes and saw a train bearing
down on him. He turned about and
started to run off the bridge but ’twas
too late. The train was approaching at
such a speed that it could not he stop-
ped and it struck the unfortunate man,
killing him almost instantly.
It is supposed that Mr. Eckert did
not hear or see the train until it was al-
most on top of him because he had very
poor hearing and his eye sight was also
failing. © The train that killed him was
the Lock Haven local treight on its way
to this place. The body of the deceased
was not mangled at all. . Scarcely any
marks were discernible after the acci-
dent.
Deceased was a forgeman when he was
young enough to work, and for a long
time was in the employ of the Valen-
tines at this place. He was 77 year
old and will be buried at Unionville
this morning at ten o'clock.
——Lock Haven wants to have an
old fashioned Fourth of July celebration,

the task of getting it up.

Monday to look up old friends and business
interests hereabouts. It was W. S. Port, of

nedy will make. For years he was instructor
in wood working in the Mechanical Engineer:
ing department of the Pennsylvania State Col
lege and resigned that position to go into the
building contracting business.
ON FREE ADVERTISING.—An ex-
change makes these sensible observa-
tions: “Every line in the newspaper
costs the proprietor something. Ifit is
for the benefit of an individual it should
be paid for. If the grocer were asked
to contribute groceries to one abundant-
ly able to pay for them he would refuse.
The proprietor of a newspaper must pay
for the free advertising if the beneficiary
does not, and yet it is one of the hard-
est things to be learned by many, that a
newspaper has space in its columns to
rent, and must rent it to live. To give
away rent for anything less than living
rates is as fatal to a newspaper as for a
landlord to furnish rent free.

ReED’s. Bopy Founn.—The body of

which capsized in the Susquehanna riv-
er, above Lock Haven, just four weeks
ago yesterday, was found last Friday
morning, floating among some logs,
nearly a mile below the place where the
drowning occurred. The position of
the body when found gives rise to the
belief that Reed was swimming when
death overtook him. The features were
distorted and the body was badly discol-
ored and swollen. Funeral services
were held at the home of his father, in
Lock Haven, on Saturday morning.

To the Democrats of Centre County.
Three years ago I was a candidate tor the
nomination of sheriff. After being announced
there was also a candidate for the nomination
of Treasurer in the same township, and find-
ing that the nomination of Sheriff belonged to
the other side of the mountains and that if I
should remain in the race there would be
more or less dissatisfaction, I withdrew my
name as a candidate ; my motive being pure-
ly for peace and harmony in the Democratic
party, and now as all these difficulties are set-
tled in the minds of the Democrats I an-
nounce myself as a candidate for the same of-
fice, leaving the matter with the many Demo-
crats of Centre county.
