oi EAI, Breckinridge’s Answer. He Finds Alleged Flaws in Madeline Pollard’s Declation. WasHINGTON, Sept: 5.—Representa- tive W. C. P. Breckinridge, of Ken- tucky, to-day filed his demurrer to the declaration of Madoline V. Pollard, charging him with breach of promise of marriage and asking $50,000 damages. The demurrer avers that the declara- tion of the plaintiff is bad in substance. The demurrer is based on the three fol- lowing points of law : First—The declaration consists of threo separate counts, which improperly allege three separate contracts of mar- riage, and allege that said three con- tracts to marry were subsisting at one and the same time. Second—Not more than one contract to marry can subsist at the same time be- tween two persons. Third—The third count of said decla- ration is bad in that it alleges matters and things which cannot in law be con- sidered substantive evidence, facts, nec- essary to substitute a cause of action, thereby violating rule 26 of the com- mon law of the court. Justice Getting in Its Work at Last. Philadelphia Election Officials Being Taught the Sancity of Law. PuriLapeErLpHIA, Sept. 5. — Select Councilman Harry Hunter, the Third ward’s somewhat tamous Napoleon of politics, 1s at last to be tried for the conspiracy by which his election was brought about in that Democratic stronghold last spring. So Juge Briggs decided today in putting aside Hun- ter’s demurrer to an indictment long pigeon-holed. The judge says that ‘there is no doubt about the criminal character of the offense charged, and it is for a jury to say whether or not the allegations are true. Meanwhile Judge Butler in the fed- eral court to-day sentenced Charles Me- Gronan, the supervisors at the Vaux- McAleer election in November, 1890, who were found guilty of neglecting their duties, to pay a fine of $300 each and to undergo an imprisonment of 10 months. Pennsylvania’s Chautauqua. HARRISBURG, Sept. 5.—At a meeting of the board of managers of the Penn- sylvania Chautauqua these officers were elected : President, George B. Stewart, Harrisburg ; vice-presidents, Rev. N. C. Schaeffer, D, D., Lancaster; Hon. Thomas C. Zimmerman, Reading ; cor- responding secretary, Rev, H. A. Gerd- sen, Lebanon ; treasurer, George E. Rise, Lebanon. The reports showed that the Chautauqua, during its two years of history, had expended over $21,000, and that its indebtedness, which is for the plant, amounts to $10,000. The last as- sembly was a successful one, the receipts being $4,000. Real Life Saving Exhibition. WorLp's Farr, CHicaco, Sept. 6.— There was a real life saving act on the waters of Lake Michigan yesterday af— ternoon. A yawl with seven men in it capsized off the battleship pier in sight of thousands. Capt. Easton in charge of the German naptha boat, the fastest in the white city, was on thal part of the lake and saw the accident. Two of the men were sinking for the last time when the captain and his crew reached them and used the boat hooks to good advantage. The other four men were clinging to the gunwale of the upturn- ed boat and were easily rescued. More Miils Resuming.

Tae ARMOR WILL Case.—What has been known as the Armor will case has been occupying the attention of the court during the entire week. The case had previously been heard before a master, subsequently taken to the Su- preme court and returned from there to Centre county for trial before a jury. Under the will, as signed by the late Mrs. Ruth Armor, D. M. Butts was ap- pointed sole executor of the estate, and the other heirs assert that undue in- fiuence was brought to bear in the framing of said will and ask that it be set aside. At the time of making the will Mrs, Armor was 91 years of age, and many witnesses, from among the best people of Bellefonte, were called to testify to her conditoin, mentally, at the time the will was signed. Messrs. Beaver, Gephart & Dale, are the at- torneys for Mr. Butts and Messrs Or- vis, Bower and Orvis for the contesting heirs. The case was given to the Jury at noon on Thursday and atfour o’clock, when the WATCHMAN went to press the jury was still considering which side was right in the contest. Our STATE ARMY.—The citizen sol- diery of Pennsylvania has been a source of pride to our people for a number of years and the advance of time only gces the more to prove its excellence. In truth the militiamen of the Keystone State have the reputation of making very worthy rivals for honors with the | regulars of the United States, when both ! are seen together. Major John D.

The month will open with high temperatures in all the country, except, perhaps in the extreme west and north, from which points storms will have moved, most likely, and the change of wind and temperature will have set 1n behind them. Central re- gions will get the crisis of the heat and storms about the 1st to 2nd, and eastern sections about the 2nd and 8rd. The everywhere and dominate the weather until the return to storm conditions on and touching the reactionary 6th and 7th. : From the 10th to the 15th of Septem- ber is always marked by abnormal elec- trical excitement. The new moon is on the 10th, and a storm period is central on the 12th. "We therefore advise that all storm developments about the 10th to 14th be quietly watched. It is apt to grow very warm, the barometer will fluctuate, finally falling to danger read- ing in many places, and black clouds with heavy storms will visit all parts. ‘On the 22d our equator cuts the sun, making the day and night equal every- where and introducing spring to south- ern and autumn to northern hemisphere. These great forces cannot shift to oppo- site side ends of our rushing, restless i world without causing many conflicts ° of atmosphere and electricity. From the 21st to 26th we :ail past the centre of our autumnal equinox. The “Vul- can’ period is ventral on the 25th, and the moon is full on the same date. These facts warrant us in warning of danger- ous storm possibilities, say about 22d to 26th inclusive. A good sized polar wave will spread over our deck from the northwest after the storms, overtak- ing their northern and western flanks, and changing the rain, possibly, into early sleet and snow. Very cool weath- er will follow, generally, up to the clos- ing days of the month; at which time it will grow warmer, and reactionary storms will be on as the month expires. Resolutions of Esteem.

We the members of the 45th P. V., Regt. do very willingly and earnestly protest against the erroneous and injurious report which is being un warrantedly circulated against Capt. Henry Stevens of Co. E, 45th Regt. to the ef- fect that he “sold out” his company while in camp Curtin, in Sept 1861. It was at Fortress Monroe that Capt. Stevens found his health giving away, caused by dis- eases lurking in his system contracted in the Mexican war, which was the cause of his res- ignation, and the next in command Lieut. J. 0. Campbell was elected his successor. Capt. Stevens had the esteem and respect of the entire command and he has always been aman of sterling integrity in every walk of life. We therefore] unite in refuting the false charge which is jeopardizing the manhood of as true and brave a soldier as ever drew a sword as was Capt. Stevens of Co. E., P. Vols. and utterly deny the charge as unfounded and untrue. James A. Beaver, late Lieut. Co. 45, P. V. John I. Curtin, Col. 45th, P. V. W. G. Bigelow, late Capt. Co. C, 45th, P. V.

Dunlap, is confined to bed from an attack of typhoid fever. It is hoped by his friends that the attack will be but ina mild form. Mr. Jobn Ripka is entitled to the belt. The first day of the season he brought down ten of | the friskey rodents setting some of the would- be experts in the shade. Capt. Aaron Burchfield is this week greeting his old time associates as the guest of his special friend J. B. Ard. During his stay he has resigned himself to the care of G. H. Woods M. D, for repairs. Our agricultural friends who, on account of the drought, were at a stand still were set a- | float by last week’s rain and quite a large acreage has been seeded. Some few fore- noon farmers are done. The Pine Hall sociable, held last Saturday | evening, was fairly well attended consider- ing the cool evening which was not at all fav- orable to white dresses, ice cream, ice cold lemon-ade etc. Some $36,was realized. Last Monday morni Squire Archey marshalled the stalwarts into line for a stroll over the mountains and from the display of glittering guns and loads of provisions they intend staying until the last of the friskey tribe is laid low. One of our scientific farmers, Wm. Kepler, is this week sizing up the Columbian Exposi. tion while his father Capt. J. M. Kepler is rus- ticating for a short season at his Tionesta home before starting for the Hot Springs where he intends spending several months for his health that has for several years been slight- ly impaired. Mr. Peter Shroats, a prominent Philadel- phia stock-man, was, in the early part of the week, floated around among the farmers by P. F. Bottorf. We understand quite. a number of cows have been sold at advanced prices, Mr. Harrie Bloom sold 3 head for $120, while a number of others commanded about the same figure. : Mr. J. C. Gorman, now in Lis 94th year, is the guest of his venerable son-in-law George Kustaborder. Mr. Gorman viewed the veter- an picnic last Saturday and was much delight- ed to greet the boys in blue, considering his advanced age his step is as quick and light as most of men at 50. He bids fair to round up his one hundredth anniversary. The matter of free text books is being dis. cussed by our curbstone committee. In as much as there will be no change in the text books, to any extent, it would be well enough for the school board to request all scholars to bring their old books and let the teachers de- cide what books are required. By so doing they will save the taxpayersa considerable sum. With free text books there is no need of any children absenting themselves from school. . We doubt however if the percentage of attendance will increase, as the excuse has not been so much an account of books as for want of warm and comfortable clothing. With free wool there should be no searei ty of that raiment which is now within the reach of any industrious person and there is no reason for non attendance of children at school. ——The following letters remain uncalled for in the Bellefonte P.
