CrARrGED WITH A SERIOUS CRIME.—
In the WarcaMan of April 21st, 1893,
the following account of an accident
that had happened in Nittany Valley
appeared :
About noon of the 8th inst. Mrs.
Mazie Winkleman, of Nittany, went to
the barn to hunt the eggs. By a mis
step she fell from the hay mow inflict
ing serious injury. Though badly hurt
she managed to drag herself back to the
house and laid down on the lounge.
Her husband's absence and the pres-
ence of no one but little children in the
house left her to sufter with no one to
care for her. Presently her sisters
heard of the accident and hurried to
her home to find her vomiting blood.
Everything possible was done to save
her life but on Monday morning she
died. Deceased was thirty years old
and was the wife of Horace Winkle-
man who, with three small children,
mourns her sad demise. She was
buried on Wednesday.
Rumors afloat after the death of
Mrs. Winkleman occurred led the police
authorities in Lock Haven to believe
that her death was caused by other
means than the reported fall from the
hay mow and that it was only a blind
to conceal the crime of some one. They
began to investigate the case and from
information received from doctors Hus-
ton and Conser, who were in attend"
ance when she died, were justified in
preferring the charge of abortion
against John H. Wahn, a young man
residing in Lock Haven, whom they
arrested on Wednesday of last week as
he was about to board a midnight train
for points unknown.
At Nittany Hall, the place where
the unfortunate woman lived and where
the crime is supposed to have been
committed, is in Centre county the Lock
Haven authorities could go no further.
District Attorney Wm. J. Singer, of
this place, was notified of the arrest
and of the supposed crime and on last
Friday morning went down to Lock
Haven to consult with District Attor-
ney Hall, of Clinton county. The evi-
dence against him was so convincing
that he was brought to jail in this
place on Friday evening. He had a
hearing before Justice Foster who com-
mitted him without bail.
Whan admits that by special invita-
tion he visited the Winkleman resi.
dence on the Saturday previous to the
death, to see Miss Mauck, Mrs, Win-
kleman’s sister, with whom he was ac-
quainted and upon whom he had called
before. During the day, he says, Mrs.
Winkleman became very ill and he was
consulted in regard to her ailment. He
then started with his horse and buggy
for a drug store to get some medicine.
When he returned Mr- Winkleman was
at home, and he did what he could to
relieve the sick woman, but she grew
worse during the night, when he advis-
ed them to call the family physician,
which was done the next day. Some
time during Sunday he left the Winkle-
man home and returned to Lock Hav-
en. Drs. Huston and Consor attended
Mrs. Winkleman from that period until
her; death the following day. The
former physician was not satisfied with
the story told by the Winkleman’s as
to the cause of Mrs. Winklemans death
and proceeded to make an examina-
tion. It revealed every evidence of
abortion and he thought of Wahn at
once. Because he knew he had been
at the house the day before and was a
quack doctor making a specialty of
women’s complaints.
John H. Wahn was originally from
Philadelphia and is about 27 years old.
He found his way to Lock Haven sev"
eral years ago and was employed by
the Y. M. C. A,, as director of physical
culture. Unsavory tales questioning
his christianity arose and he lost his
position. He remained in Lock Hav-
en, however, and began to do a special-
ist's work in women’s complaints.
Massage treatment and a few other
specialties he administered with success,
and gained quite a reputation in his
line. He continued teaching his Sun-
day school class, where his knowledge
of the Bible and ready answers in bi-
blical questions made hin a valuable
instractor. ‘His admiration for the
girls was always his tault and when a
wife appeared on the scene a great fuss
was stirred up. He smoothed it over
however and has been carrying on as
usual ever since.
When Chief Keller, of Lock Have),
who made the arrest, searched his room
he found instruments and letters in his
satchel which indicate that the accused
might have been doing just such a busi.
ness ashe is charged with. He is a
bright, intelligent looking man and is
stead fast in his professions of his inno-
cence. He says that he never frequent-
ed the Winkleman home and when he
did visit there it was only on invita-
tion. He acknowledges that the dead
woman did take care of his horse one
day for him, but it was done simply as
any other person might have extended
the same hospitality.
District Attorney Singer has been
busy on the case for the past week and
has been forging a chain of evidence
agaiost the accused which he thinks
will be sufficient to convict him. The
body which was buried in Cedar Hill
cemetery, near Salona, was exhumed
yesterday morning an examination be-
ing made. Its result we have been
unable to learn, but will try to give
our readers all there is next week.
——Camp 447, P. 0. 8. of A., will at-
tend a convention, in Renova, on July
4th.
——Mr. _H. A. Moore, of Howard
borough, has announced himself a can-
didate for the cffice ot county Treasurer.
——Mrs. Jane Swires, who until re-
cently had been a resident of Milesburg,
died at the home of her son,in Pittsburg,
in her 84th year.
——Queen Victoria, of England, was
seventy-four years old on last Wednes-
day. She has ruled over Gt. Britain
and her colonies for fifty-five years.
——To-morrow Walter L. Main’s
big rail-road show will be here. It has
won much praise wherever it has ap-
peared this season. Every thing is new
and attractive.
——The Beech Creek extension from
Castanea to Lock Haven will be built.
The citizens of Lock Haven having sub-
scribed enough to guarantee the work it
will be commenced immediately.
——Martin Funk’s four horse team
ran away the other morning in Tyrone,
and the driver, when thrown down and
realizing that the heavy wagon would
pass over him, bad presence of mind
enough to roll between the wheels and
escaped unhurt.
——1Ira M. Harvey, business manager
and traasurer of the Clinton Democrat
News and Publishing Co., has been ap-
pointed post master at Lock Haven.
Mr. Harvey is a practical printer and
abundantly qualified to make a good
official.
-—A relay bicycle race between
Lock Haven and Williamsport will take
place on Decoration day. Seven riders
from each city will participate and
they will endeavor to take a message
from the mayor of Lock Haven to the
mayor of Williamsport in exactly two
Lours. The distance is twenty-eight
miles.
——Memorial day in parts of Penns
Valley including Farmers Mills, Spring
Mills and Georges Valley, will be ob-
served as per program : Veterans,
Sunday school scholars and people gen-
erally will participate: 8:30 a. m.,
Farmers Mills ; 1p. m. Georges Valley ;
5:30 p. m. Spring Mills. Henry Quigley
Esq., will be the speaker at Spring
Mills, Rev. Eisenburg at Farmers Mills,
and D. M. Wolfe at Georges Valley.
The veterans will be accompanied by a
drum corps and a brass band.
——The team of bay horses, which
the Logan Steamer company purchased
at Oak Hall, is certainly a beauty:
The horses are tall, raw boned animals
and will doubtless answer the wants of
the firemen. During the day they
are engaged in running a dray for pub-
lic service. Samuel Geistwhite is their
driver and any orders for hauling will
be promptly attended to if left at
Cunningham’s cigar store, in the Brock-
erhoff house, or at Frank Galbraith’s
jewelry store, in the Bush House.
——Waiter L. Main’s circus was at
Dubois Monday. The Courier says : “It
was a large affair in the circus line and
worthy of the attendance of so many
thousands of show going people. The
parade, free exhibition and two enter-
tainments give six hours of show out
of every twenty-four, and as much more
as patrons desire to make it loitering
around the monkey cage, menagarie and
pufftopped girls among the side show
freaks. Main is a great show manager.
His aggregation and manner of conduc-
ting it are up to date.
Prck-YEARICK.—At two o'clock on
Tuesday afternoon Rev. Miles O. Noll,
pastor of the Reformed church of this
place, pronounced the ceremony which
made Edwin J. Peck, of Nittany, and
Miss Tillie Yearick, of Jacksonville, one.
Their wedding was solemnized at the
parsonage on North Spring street and
was a very private one.
The happy young folks droveup from
their homes in the morning and regis-
tered at the Brockerhoff house where
they remained until the hour set for
their marriage,
The bride is a daughter of Henry
Yeurick, of Jacksonville, and is a young
woman thoroughly qualified to make
her husband a worthy help-meet. The
groom is the only son of our esteemed
friend ‘Squire Soloman Peck, of Nittany
Hall, and is a young man of exempla-
ry habits. Ever since stopping school
he has been connected with his father in
a general merchandise business.
The happy pair left on the 5:20 mail
for. an extended western tour. They
will take in Superior, Nebraska ; parts
of Kansas, Illinois and Michigan. Of
course the World’s Fair is to be includ-
ed in the honey moon. The WarcH-
MAN extends its best wishes for a long
and prosperous married life.
Exarsirion Day 1x Our Pusric
ScHooLs.—Commencement week in the
Bellefonte schools really opened with
the exhibition of industrial art that was
given in the High School building las;
Friday. Those who dil not accept tha
invitations so geaerously distributed
bave no idea what an intersting show
they missed, and the many who climbed
the hill of learning were surprised, ay
even astonished at the work the lads
and lassies have been doing this winter.
All credit is due to the teachers, for
while the directors approved of the
methods and, with their share of the
$5,000,000 that the State appropriates
for public schools, furnished paper, card-
board, paste and materials for work, the
toil, responsibility and practical results
were all the teachers, and through the
teachers the scholars.
When Freebel began his Kindergar-
ten methods the old Yankee school
“master” was making harmony with
his rod instead of a paste brush and
paper but could he have seen the handi-
work, exhibited Friday, that was made,
salected and in many cases designed by
the children themselves, every prejudice
would have been swept away and he
would have been forced to acknowledge
that the sensibilities, will and self ac-
‘tivity can be trained and developed as
well as the memory and tongue.
In Miss Rankin’s and Miss Dor-
worth’s rooms, where 160 primary
scholars are taught and trained in the
way they should go, were stars, circles,
and ladders among the innumerable
figures cut from colored paper and past-
ed on a back ground that would have
done credit to many an older brain and
hand, and the exhibit of writing, spell-
ing and free-hand drawing demonstrat-
ed conclusively that the new methods
of instruction are far more productive
of good results than th old.
Splint work, cardboard baskets, cor-
nucopias and samples of work in the
elementary branches were exhibited in
all the rooms and while some of it neith-
er displayed painstaking or genius the
whole was so good that enthusiastic
praise of both teacher and scholar was
heard on all sides. Indeed many of the
scholars should be mentioned specially
for their neat and careful work, and de-
signs like Miss Stonerode’s, who is in
tthe C class of the High school, which
were ingenious and artistic, show the
possibilities of a system, that not only
trains the technical skill ¢but helps the
development of social virtue and mental
independence and spontaneity by its
constant and strict regard to the require-
ments of harmonious developement, of
vhich efficiency is an unerring symp-
tom.”
Tae ORrATorIOAL CoNTEST--Mon-
day evening, for the Reynolds prize of
fifteen dollars, that was given by the
late W. F. Reynolds and continued by
his nephew, Fred, to the member of the
A class of the High school who excelled
in oratory, was heard and enjoyed ty an
audience that filled Garman’s opera
house to overflowing. The contest like
every other contest was interesting in
proportion to one’s interest in the con-
testants. Good music, fragrant flowers,
and red and white bunting filled up the
spaces while intensely patriotic orations
prevailed. The heroes, with all due re-
spect to them, who fought, bled and
died or are drawing a pension to save the
country, deserve a rest and we as an
audience or congregation declare in their
favor.
The contestants and their subjects
wera : Rufus Strobm, The Purpose of
Bunker Hill Monument.” Maurice
Kelley, ‘‘Responsibilities of American
Citizens.” Miss Lizzie Smith, “Home
Influence ; John Keichline, “The Speech
of Regulus.” Fred Blair, “Our Flag.”
William Runkle, “The Honored Dead.”
Miss Isabel Taylor, “Before and After
the Battle.” Clarence Hamilton,
“Adams and Jefferson” and Paul Fort-
ney “The Illustrous Dead.”
The judges, Ellis Orvis, John Blanch-
ard and E. R. Chambers awarded the
the prize to Paul Fortney, although one
of them was in favor of Fred Blair,
while a great many in the audience
thought it belonged to Maurice Kelley
or Miss Smith.
Tre CoyueNceMENT EXeRrcIses—Of
the Bellefonte High School in the
Opera house Tuesday afternoon, were
especially pleasing although a severe
thunder storm and a nervous audience
tried hard to.annoy the speakers, who
with one or two exceptions did remark-
ably well.
The class of '93, the tenth that has
graduated from the school, numbered
thirteen and if ill luck is to befall them
on that account, there was no evidence
of it Tuesday for they left an excel:
lent record as scholars, and as citizens
give promise of usefulness and honor.
George A. Miller, who not only stood
second in his class; but won the Furst
prize in Civil Government and United
States History, was so clear and dis
tinct in his enunciation that it was a
pleasure to follow his Salutatory and
well-written oration “Self Made Men,’
Schools,”
“Live and Let Live” by Miss Bella
Hoover, Chas. F. Harrison’s “Public
Miss Grace Luckenbach
“Pluck a Thistle and plant a Flower”
and “Look Beyond” by Miss Maud
Love, may have been exceptionally
good, but the thunder roared and the
people talked, and we were unabie to
hear.
The subject of David Kelley's ora-
tion was “The Old and the New”
which he delivered in an easy confident
manver that was distinctly heard
throughout the house. “Too Late!
Too Late I” was the subject of Miss
Jennie Longacre’s essay and while a
sweet low voice is an excellent thing
in a woman itoften looses much to the
hearer.
Ruth E. Tripple’s essay “The Martyr
Band” and Daniel Gallagher's
oration ‘Preparation for Life” came
next and they were both interesting
and instructive,
Miss Ella Twitmire's “The Bane of
the Republic” was a wide-a-wake up
tothe times talk on the temperance
question which she clearly and con-
vincingly advocated.
After music by Myer's orchestra
which had rendered several popular
selections, John T. Harris, who re-
ceived special mention and a prize for
his work in mathematics, reviewed the
qualifications, necessities, sacrifices
and achievements of “The Pioneer.”
Miss Mary Schofield added her tribute
of praise to the triumphal progress of
“Modern. Woman” and Harris Heyl-
mun the Valedictorian, naturally and
instructively explained “The Behring
Sea Controversy.”
The evening's exercises were just as
interesting and the class of '93 are to
be congratulated on the success of
its commencement.
