THE REPUBLICANS AND THEIR CIR-
cus.—Tuesday was an eventful day in
Bellefonte. Indeed it was. The leaders
of the forlorn hope were all here and
beld what the un-initiated would un-
doubtedly call a grand hippidrome,
but for the sake of recording it as one of
the political events in the history of th®
county we will be more magnanimous
and term it a Convention.
The etymology of this word Conven-
tion is hardly in place for discussion
here, but its dictionary meaning may
not be amiss, purely as a matter of
elucidation. According to the most ap-
proved authority it is ‘a formal gather-
ing for deliberative purposes” and we
are aro sorry to say that our Republican
friends have go contorted its meaning
that we are led to interpret it thus:
An informal mob with a deliberate pur-
pose. Mor such can be the only accur-
ate meaning ofthe word Convention as
we saw it used on Tuesday.
Bright and early on the morning of
August 22nd Republicans from every
where began to put in their appearance.
Chairman Reeder and his lieutenants
were kept busy getting them all corral-
led and in truth the task was a mon-
strous one. The jack-pot was to be
opened at eleven o’clock and it was cer-
tain that some of them couldn’t ‘‘see’’
it. Matters were adjusted however.
The Cook was goosed, and the Court
House bell rang for the meeting.
It was promptly eleven when the
delegates found themselves in their seats
awaiting the call to order. It did not
come. The managers only wanted to
get the show in out of harm’s way so
there they sat for just half an hour
waiting until the old slate had been
cleared off and the names of the new
sacrifices substituted. One incident in
connection with this expunging, which
was going on in the little room, had
better be mentioned right here before it
is forgotten. Away down at the tail
end of the old party slate the name of
Jesse Cleaver was standing over against
the plug, “for County Surveyor.” It has
stood there a score of years or more.
Somehow or ‘other the sponge only
obliberated part of the name so when it
was again presented in Convention ther®
was a general knowing look passed
around whereupon it was promptly
withdrawn and another substituted:
This was the only break.
At 11:30 Chairman Reeder called
the delegates to order and asked for
nominations for a permanent Chairman.
Of course dear reader you know as well
as if we did’nt tell you that Col. James
P. Coburn’s was the flrst name present-
ed. But the wily Col. had another
mission to fulfill and he declined, where-
upon Col. Austin Curtin was called
upon to fill the chair. He accepted and
perhaps made the hit of his life in the
parody on a Republican eulogium which
he got off. The Colonel should go on
the stage. His sincere expression while
gpouting such a ludicrous thing was re-
markable. Once through he proceeded
with the conduct of affairs in & manner
highly complimentary to himself. In
fact he handled the gavel with a dex-
terity only equaled by the Kentucky
horse auctioneer.
After the chairman had called in all
the little resolutions, which Mr. Reeder
had prepared for John C. Henderson
and others to read, merely to tickle
them and give them an opportunity of
hearing there voices resound in such a
mighty assemblage, the other officers
were chosen as follows: Reading clerk,
H. C. Quigley, Bellefonte ; Secretaries,
Jos. Barton, Unionville, and Steel Criss-
man, Philipsburg; Tellers, J. Laird
Holmes, College township, and T. L.
Crust, Benner township ; Committee on
Resolutions, Col. J. P. Coburn, Haines ;
J. R. Hughes, Bellefonte; S. 8S. Criss-
man, Philipsburg ; G. W. Fisher, Half
moon, and J. L. Kessinger, Walker.
THE BALLOTING THEN BEGAN.
Sheriff was the first, and it was right
there that Mr. Robert Cook Jr, of How-
ard, found that the friends (?) for whom
he had worked had no longer any use
for him. The names of David Reed,
Ferguson township; Robert Cook Jr.
Howard ; John W. Stuart, State Col-
lege ; John F. Harter, Millheim ; Hen-
ry H. Montgomery, Bellefonte ; and
Harry Simler, Philipsburg, were pre-
sented for consideration.

es in great style, bat the funniest
partof it all was the way he was tricked
into beating himself. On the fourth
ballot he gave Harter enough delegates
to hold him in over Stuart and the
Shady transaction proved the death of
Cook, for with Harter in and Stuart out
all of the latter's delegates went to the
Then the Philipsburg delega-
tion finished the job. They were a kind
of a steering committee. The same kind
that Cook was in Wolf's campaign three
years ago. All through the voting the
Cook contingent keep up a continual
cheering and cat-calling, whic! even the
vigorous pounding of Col. Curtin could
not stop. After Harter was nominated
the Convention had to taka a rest.
After dinner the first thing that was
done was to nominate R. F. Com-
ley, of Union Twp, for Treasurer, J. D.
Wagner, of Ferguson, and Sam’l H.
Diehl, of Bellefonte, both having been
forced ont of the race.

Commissioners were then nominated
from the names Matthew F. Riddle,
Spring township ; Andrew Lytle, Col-
lege ; Henry Stevens, Half Moon ; and
Jas. B. Strokm, of Potter. It was a set
up job that Riddle and Strokm should
be the lucky ones and they were nomi-
nated on the first ballot.
Three candidates for Register were
presented : Benj. T. Edmunds, John 8.
Bathurst, Howard ; and J. B. Rickard,
Rush township. Two Ballots were re-
quired as follows.

delegates were tired hearing clerk Quig-
ley call their names and the rest of the
nominations were made unanimous. J.
Laird Holmes, of State College, who
had scarcely recovered from the exhaus-
tion occasioned by the oratorical appeal
he had made for Stuart, was put on for
Recorder. John D. Wagner, of Gregg
township, aud Dr.E. S. Dorworth, of
Bellefonte, were the unanimous choice
for Auditors. Dr, Thos. Tobin, of Storm-
stown, was accorded the privilege of
putting up the Coroner’s share of the
campaign “wax.” The party went back
on its old love, Jesse Cleaver, of Union,
and gave Wm. H. Snyder, of Liberty,
the tail end on the ticket. He will run
tor County Surveyor. He will still be
running this time next year. .
For delegates to the State Convention
George W. Hoover, of Philipsburg, and
ox-County Commissioner H. C. Camp-
bell, of Ferguson, were the unanimous
choice. The county chairmah for 1894
was then chosen. You know there will
be a scrabble for the judgeship nomina-
tion next year and W. E. Gray thought
he would hke to be chairman 0 as to
help the Love boom along, but the
Reeder people said “no,” and re-elected
the old chairman by a vote of 64 to 12.
‘Who knows, but that Mr. Reeder may
have an eye on the bench himself. This
being done the Convention adjourned
without even having thanked Col. Cur-
tin for having hammered his arm nearly
off keeping the unruly elements in sub-
jection.

——At Bellwood, on Monday eve-
ning, Albert Pelter, a young rail-road
brakeman who boarded with a widow
named Smith, was aimlessly firing an
old single barrel pistol about the yard.
Some little children were playing behind
a bush in the corner of the yard and
Pelter did not notice them until the last
shot was fired when he discovered that
he had shot little Maud Smith, his sis-
ter-in-law. The ball struck her fairly
in the heart and she never spoke. The
child was four years old. Pelter is al-
most crazed with grief.
Sweet BELLS IN TuNE—The wed- |
ding of Mr. William Frederick Rey-
nolds and Miss Louise Linn Hoy, which
was solemnized in the Presbyterian
church last evening, at seven o'clock, wag
a most interesting and pleasing affair.
The church which is beloved by the
bride and so many of ber relations is
always stately and beautiful. But ar-
rayed in ferns and palms with Bride-ros-
es scattered and massed, and thronged
with friends eager to greet and see the
fair young girl and her bridal party,
which was small owing to the recent
death of the groom’s uncle, it was more
beautiful than ever.
The music itself was one of the fea- |
tures of the occasion and the time came
all to quickly for the guests when the
ushers James Duffy, of Marietta; Elliott
Lane, of Camden, N. J.: Beverly Potter,
Thomas Morris, Joseph Montgomery, Al-
bert Hoy, of Bellefonte ; John Sommer-
ville, of Winburne and Thomas Orbi-
son, of New York, led the procession up
the aisle, followed by the maid of honor
Miss Mary Hoy, who was dressed in
white organdy and carried pink roses.
The bride who is the youngest
daughter of the late Judge Hoy looked
extremely well in her gown of white
silk crepe, that was made with em-
piresleeves of white satin, a long princess
train and a bertha of Duchesse lace.
Her tulle veil was fastened with sprays
of orange blossoms and she carried a
ushower bouquet’’ of brides-roses and
lillies of the valley as she walked with
her uncle, Mr. James L. Sommerville, to
the altar where the groom and his best
man, Mr. John Blanchard, were
waiting.
After the ceremony, which was per-
formed by the Rev. Beach, a cousin of
the bride from Bridgeton N. J. as-
sisted by the Rev. Dr. Laurie, a recep-
tion was given at the bride's home, for
the bridal party and cousins, which in-
cludes many of the prominent families
of the town. Some of the guests from
a distance were Mrs. Samuel Reynolds,
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Reynolds, Jr.,
and Miss Maud Reynolds of Lancaster,
Mrs. Wister, of Overbrook, Philadel-
phia, Mr. George L. Potter and family
of Fort Wayne Ind. and Mr. and Mrs.
James L. Sommerville, of Winburae.
The groom, who is a Lt. Colonel on
Governor Pattison’s staff is one of our
most popular young men and deserves
well the good fortune that has always
been his. He inherited most of his Un-
cle’s large estate and only good wishes and
congratulations followed the happy cou-
ple when they left on the evening’s ex-
press in their private car for Montreal
and other points, after which they will
visit the World’s Fair.
Ar CounciL oN MoxpAy NIGHT.—
At the regular meeting of the borough
solons, on Monday night, there was the
usual amount of routine business trans-
acted and among the new business of
interest was the decision to move the
music pavilion out of the Diamond and
put it in some less coumspicuous place.
Since it. was put where it now stands it
has been an eye-sore and a nuisance and
council etruck the popular favor in
deciding to move it.
The only other matter of importance
considered was an amendment to the
present ordinance restricting cows, pigs
and other animals from running at large
on the streets. The solicitor was in-
structed to draw up an amendment, for
approval at the next meeting, which
will fix the fine at $1.00 instead of $2.00
per head, as it has been heretofore, In-
structions were given the High Constable
to arrest only those cows that were
found loafing about on the streets and
if any appeared to be on their way to or
from pasture they should be unmolested.
The fine of one dollar for violation of
the cow ordinance is plenty. People
do not wilfully violate and some who
cannot procure pasture for their cow and
are forced to drive them to the out-
skirts of town and then run the risk of
their coming back before evening.
A SwiNDLER WILL BE AFTER YOU.

help and the doors being broken in the

general supposition that the fire was the
work of an incendiary and it had been
smouldering there for some timeas the
immense shops were filled with smoke.

if some one was moving about in the

an unusual sight, as the men often work
