Tae DeMocrATIC CoUNTY CONVEN.
TION. —Promptly at 12.85 County Chair-
man, J. C. Meyer, called the annual con-
vention of the Democracy of Centre
county to order, and after a few explan-
atory remarks about the presence of dele-
gates, acting Secretary, William G.
Runkle, called the roll of delegates by
precincts,
When chairman pro tem Meyer de-
clared the convention ready for the elec-
tion of a permanent chairman, W. C.
Heinle HEsq., South ward Bellefonte,
nominated Dr. F. K. White, of Philigs-
burg 1st ward, while Walter Garrity,
North ward Bellefonte, nominated W.
Miles Walker, of the North ward of
Bellefonte, for the office. The roll of
delegates elected White on the first bal-
lot, the vote standing

Upon motion of Mr. Heinle the final
organization of the convention was com-
pleted as follows: reading clerk, I. J.
Dreese, of College Twp. ; roll clerks,
Mortimer O’Donohue, of Spring,
and J. P. Sebring, of Halfmoon ; secre-
taries, R. A. Bumiller, Millheim; W.
Fred. Kurtz, Centre Hall; Charles 1.
Kurtz, Bellefonte, and Geo. R. Meek:
Bellefonte. The committee on resolu-
tions was appointed by the Chairman as
follows: W. C. Heinle, Bellefonte ; S.
J. Herring, Gregg; J. C. Smith; Mill-
heim ; Oscar Holt, Burnside; and W.
W. Spangler, Potter. The order of
business was then adopted and carried
out as per motion.
SHERIFF CONDO NOMINATED.
In order Cyrus Brungart, of Miles ;
Geo. B. Crawford, of Gregg; John P.
Condo, of Gregg ; Geo. Parker, of Phil-
ipsburg; H. F. McGirk, of College ; and
John Corrigan, of College, were placed
in nomination by their constituency.
At this juncture and before the ballot-
ing began the committee on resolutions
reported that it had completed its work,
but asked to have its report held until
after the nominations. Balloting be-
gan as follows :
Brungart.......
Corrigan 4 4

Under the party rales the candidate
having the lowest number of votes on
the third ballot was dropped, and the
fourth ballot finds Mr. Corrigan’s dele-
gates divided between MecGirk, Parker
and Brungart, but as the Philipsburg
leader did not catch quite enough he fell
out.

On the fifth ballot the thirteen dele-

themselves to Brungart and Condo thus
leaving Mr. McGirk out of the contest.

The sixth ballot was perhaps the most
interesting of the lot as the contest be-
tween Condo and Crawlord, the two
Gregg township aspirants, waged very
warm. The McGirk delegates cut loose
decided the question in favor of the
commercial man and the present deputy
sheriff was laid off to wait further and
more propitious political weather.

The seventh and last failed to decide
the contest in favor of either candidate,
the ballot resulting in a failure of the
tellers to bring the result out alike. An
eighth ballot was taken resulting as fol-

TREASURER’S OFFICE AFTER AN
OCCUPANT.
The presentation of names for the of-
fice of County Treasurer having been
declared in order the following were
presented: Wm. T. Speer, of Belle-
fonte; J. H. Beck, of Walker; A. J.
Griest, of Unionville ; John Q. Miles, of
Huston; John F. Potter, of Boggs;
Howard A. Moore, of Howard ; J. T.
Lucas, of Snow Shoe. The first three
ballots went as follows :
1st. 2nd. 3rd.

The third ballot resulted in a tie vote
between Johnston and Potter and as un-
der the rules neither one could be
dropped, both candidates withdrew
promptly and let their delegates loose
for the fourth ballot, which resulted as
follows :

The question arose at this juncture as
to what constituted second instructions,
whereupon chairman White ruled that
for second instructions a candidate must
have a majority of the votes cast at the
primaries to that effect.
The fifth ballot bowled Mr. Griest out
of the race and resulted as follows :

THE TRI-RACE FOR REGISTER.
Nominations for Register came in
promptly when the chairman called, but
they stopped after the names of C. A.
‘Weaver, of Harris; A. G. Archey, of
Ferguson ; W. J. Carlin, of Millheim ;
and G. W. Rumberger, of Philipsburg
had been presented. Before the ballot-
ing began, however, Mr. Archey’s name
was withdrawn leaving but three men
in the field. The first ballots resulted
as follows.

On the fourth Squire Carlin having
cut his delegates loose there was a gen-

W.GAYLOR MORRISON WITHOUT OPPO-
SITION.
As there was no person who cared to
contest Mr. Morrison’s right to a re-
nomination for the office of County Re-
corder, the convention gave him the
honor by acclamation. The fever of
giving acclamatory nominations seized
the convention and T. Frank Adams,
of Bellefonte, and Geo. L. Goodhart, of
Potter, were nominated to succeed them-
selves as Commissioners of the county.
The contagion spread and carried H. W.
Bickle, of the North ward of Bellefonte
and W. W. Royer, of the Southern pre-
cinct of Potter, through as candidates
for auditors. Ellis L., Orvis was the
unanimous choice of the convention for
County Chairman in 1894.
Mr. Heinle having secured the floor
he read the report of the committee on
resolutions which was adopted as fol-
lows : ”
Tue Dewocracy oF CENTRE County IN CONVEN-
TION ASSEMBLED, RESOLVES:
1st. That we endorse the administration of

revision of the tariff, and that strict economy
shall be observed in all public expenditures.

the duties for which is was assembled at the
call of the President.

IRVIN’S HARDWARE STORE ON FIRE.
—At an early hour, on Sunday morn-
ing barber R. A. Beck came down from
his home to his place of business in the
basement of the First National bank
building to see if everything was in good
condition, just as he has been accustom-
ed to do for a number of years. His at-
tention was attracted by the smell of
smoke and upon making an investiga-
tion he found that it was coming from
the large four story stone. building
fronting on Allegheny street and just
in the rear of the Exchange. He gave
an alarm and the fire department was
on the scene ina very short tinte.
When it arrived the firemen went to
work to locate the fire and as the Irvin
hardware store was puffing out smoke
likea monster engine it was there that
the flames were supposed to be. No fire
could be found in the large store room,
until some one reached the rear of it and
discovered them in the cellar. Three
streams of water were directed to it and
it was not long before the last spark was
flooded. :
‘When the smoke had cleared out, an
investigation revealed the fact that the
fire originated in the rear end of the
cellar and had evidently been burning
for some time before the discovery was
made, as the heavy joists and a large
part of the floor were burned out. The
cause of the fire is not definitely known,
though it is supposed to have been from
spontaneous combustion. There were
several cases of glass goods, packed in
swamp grass, immediately under the
place where the fire began and it is
thought that the grass being damp had
become heated and taken fire.
Ed Irvin, who manages the store, was
out of town, having started on a bicy-
cle ride to his home, at Julian, just a
few minutes before the fire was discov-
ered. The only damage to the stock
was done by the water and smoke, as
both those elements are particularly
destructive to hardware goods. Mr Ir-
vin estimates his loss quite heavy. The
insurance adjusters are at work on the
case and just as soon as a settlement is
effected the store will be open for busi-
ness again.
——The Lock Haven school “oard
has gotten itself into a rather coupro-
mising position by accusing contractor
Tate of this place of being in ‘‘cohoot”
with architect Cole, both of whom are
employed on the new school building in
that city. Messrs Tate and Cole are rep-
utable men and should demand a re-
traction of such a charge as can surely '
have been made from no other than a
" malicious motive.
—— The paved streets in Clearfield
are now over a mile long.’
——0Call and see E. Brown Jr’.

——The fire brick works at Retort:

burg.

——Lock Haven will undertake to

ed bv making company H., of that
place, a signal corps.
——On Wednesday afternoon last,
Milton H. Attig and Samuel Jones, of
Tyrone, started for the World’s Fair.
They were on foot and took turn about
pushing a wheel barrow on which there
was a keg of beer.
——Salvetto Grecco, the Philipsburg
Italian who was taken to Altoona by
United States Marshal Yerger, charged
with opening mail that did not belong
to him, has been discharged because no
evidence could be produced against him.
——-James H. Brown, a well known
resident of Lock Haven, was killed on
the railroad, near that place, on Mon-
day morning. He was walking on the
track when a train of cars struck and
killed him. He was fifty seven years
old.
——While driving up the mountain
from Centre Hall, on last Saturday
evening, Robert Roan, a young man liv-
ing in Buffalo Run, who was accompa-
nied by a young lady met with an acci-
dent which proved rather disastrous.
They were driving a horse from Potter’s
livery stable, in this place, and "some-
thing frightened it causing it to plunge
over the bank. The occupants of the
buggy jumped and escaped uninjured,
but the horse fell over the bank and
was killed.
—— About two weeks ago an oid man
named Shearer, of Black Bear, went
into Philipsburg where he hired a horse
and buggy, ostensibly to attend a funeral
at Port Matilda. He did go to Port,
but continued to Bradford county, where
he has relatives. Liveryman Adams
started to look the matter up and tele-
graphed the Bradtord officials to arrest
the old thief. They did so, but the
horse died the day after its recovery in
Bradford, and Shearer escaped over the
line into New York state. He served
a term in prison for horse stealing some
years ago.
ONE TRAIN A DAY To SNOW SHOE.
—On Monday morning a new schedule
went into effect on the rail-road between
this place and Snow Shoe, whereby the
the train service was reduced to one
train a day. Formerly a passenger train
left Snow Shoe in the early morning,
ran into Bellefonte and returned to
Snow Shoe at noon, making a corres-
ponding trip in the afternoon, but un-
der the new schedule the train will
leave this place at 8:58 a. m., arriving
in Snow Shoe at 10:23 a. m. Leave
Snow Shoe at 8:00 p. m., arriving in
Bellefonte at 4:50 p. m.
Such an arrangement has undoubted-
ly.been necessitated by the dullness of
traffic and we hope will not prove a
permanent one. It is extremely unsatis-
factory to both ends of the line and will
i have a tendency to drive away what lit-
tle trade from that region Bellefonte
has.

Morris’ BurraLo Run LiME KILNS
AGAIN DAMAGED BY FIRE.—It has
been just about a year since the lime
kilns of A. G. Morris, on Buffalo Run,
were badly damaged by fire and yester-
nay afternoon flames again threatened

ner yesterday workmen were wheeling
lime from one of the kilns into a box car:
It was still very hot and being dumped,
