ConNgucAL INFELICITY AT HouTz-
| DALE.—According to a telegram recent-
| ly published in the Altoona Times the
| gossips of Houtzdaie are just now revel-
"ing in a choice morsel of scandal. The
report says:
| “Two sensational cases, involving two
leading families in Houtzdale, will be
tried at the next session of the Clearfield
county court. A week or two ago El-
mer E. Kephart, who had heard some
stories of the doings of his step-father,
Samuel T. Henderson, a wealthy and
well-known man, called at the house of
Mrs. David McDonald, with whose
name Henderson’s had been connected,
and he found his step father there. He
was refused admission, and he kicked in
the door and gave his step-father a beat-
ing. Henderson got out of the house and
hit Kephart with a stone, whereupon
Kephart whipped him again.
McDonald, who had separated from
his wife on account of her friendship
for Henderson, heard of the affair, Joad-
ed his revolver and went in search of
his wife's friend. He was persuaded
that lawful means were the proper re-
taliation, and he caused a warrant to be
issued for the arrest of Henderson on a
charge which, if proved, would give
Mrs. Henderson and McDonald ample
ground for a divorce. Henderson had a
surety of the peace warrant issued for
McDonald, and both cases were {sent to
court.
Henderson is a lumberman and own-
er of the electric light plant which sup-
plies Houtzdale and Brisbin. Kephart
was superintendent of it and Henderson
discharged him. XKephart’s assistant re-
fused to take his place, and, owing to
the inexperience of the new employees,
the boroughs have been in darkness
several nights since the affair. Hender-
son left Houtzdale and took his 13-year
old son with him, McDonald will
begin a suit for divorce soon.”
ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.—The Lock
Haven Democrat of Tuesday contains a
story of a remarkable display of intelli-
gence recently made by a young heifer
near Youngdale recently. It says.
“A few days ago a cow belonging to
John Q. Deise became fastened in a cai-
tle guard in a field along the Beech
Creek railroad, about one-fourth mile
east of Youngdale. A freight train went
down the road and when near the point
above mentioned they noticed a heifer
standing on the track. The engineer
blew the whistle and endeavored to
frighten the calf off the track. She
stubbornly refused to move and the en-
gineer shut off the steam and succeeded
in stopping the train when within a few
feet of the animal. Looking around the
trainmen spied the cow and her pre-
dicament and tearing away a portion of
the guard they soon released her. As
soon as the cow moved off in the field,
the heifer ran down the embankment,
made a spring, and jumped clear over
the remaining portion of the cattle guard,
and was soon with its mother. The
trainmen assert that the calf in some
manner reached the railroad track and
pursued the course she did to have the
cow released. They also say that it was
a fortunate thing that the freight came
first, for had the passenger train, due at
that point a short time afterwards, struck
the calf while standing squarely on the
track, the locomotive and passenge,
cars might have been precipitated down
the embankment.”
BELLEFONTERS IN A FATAL WRECK.
—Telegrams received here on Tuesday
evening informed friends of a party of
Bellefonte young ladies, who were on
their way home from the Fair at Chicago,
that their train had been wrecked
thcugh none of their party were hurt.
A special from Whiting, Indiana, is to
the effect that on Tuesday afternoon
at 4:20 o’clock train No. 2 of the Penn-
sylvania ran into an open switch, caus-
ing the engine, mail car and two Pull-
mans to leave the track. The dead are .
Henry Warner, engineer and John
Christie, fireman.
The accident occurred just west of the
One Hundred and Nineteenth street
crossing. Three persons were injured,
including the conductor, but none fatal-
ly. The fireman was buried beneath
the engine and scalded to death by es-
caping steam. The train was composed
of a mail car and nine vestibule cars.
The train was running but ten miles an
hour. Had it been running at full
speed, the death list would have been
large. The fire company was at the
scene in five minutes and extinguished
the rapidly gaining flames. The track
was not cleared until after 8 o’clock.
There were more than 400 passengers on
the train. The engine and mail car are
total wrecks.
Misses Lulu Harper, Mary Butts,
Lydia Harris and Katharine Bullock all
of this place were on the train and have
quite a thrilling experience to tell.
——The State convention of the Ep-
worth League will be held in Williams
port on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of next week. Excursion
rates will be issued on all roads. The
Bellefonte societies will be represented |
by Miss Ella Johnson and Edward Me-
Ginness, for the senior League, and Miss- :
es Josie Willard and Lizzie Allen will
| represent the juniors.
——The Labadie- Rowell Co. in Faust,
at the opera house, Wednesday evening,
Oct. 18th,
George A. Spangler, of Lock
Haven, has been arrested for dynamit-
ing fish in Bald Eagle creek.
——Jobn R. Plummer, of Tyrote,
found a honeysuckle bush in full bloom,
on Brush Mountain, last Friday.
——Altoona is beginning to rival
southern and western towns. Two wo-
men have been assaulted on the streets
of the Mountain city within as many
weeks.
——The Tyrone Herald thinks there
ought to be a garbage crematory in Ty-
rone. They should have had one dur-
ing the summer and put that base ball
club in it,
——Seventy-five citizens of Osceola
have petitioned the court to compel the
school directors of that borough to fur-
nish free text books, as provided by a re-
cent act and appropriation by the Leg-
islature.
——At a meeting recently held in
Philadelphia for that purpose, J. W.
Gephart Esq., of this place, was elected
general superintendent of the new Cen-
tral Rail-road of Pennsylvania. Frank
Warfield, for many years connected
with the Beech Creek R. R., at Jersey
Shore, was elected general freight
agent.
At the United Brethren Confer-
ence of the Allegheny district, held at
Mt. Pleasant recently, the following ap-
pointments were made in this county :
Bellefonta, D. W. Blackburn; Mill-
heim, C. C. Miller ; Philipsburg, M. G.
Patterson ; Port Matilda, W. Cramer ;
Stormstown, J. S. Tallhelm and Wal-
lace Run, W. R. Dillen.
——John Beld, the Greek, who stole
$11,000 from D. H. Crage, the Potter
county rail-road contractor, died in jail
in Smethport. It is supposed that the
wound in the foot he received from the
officers from whom he tried to escape
after his arrest and the strain caused by
exposure on his flight were the direct
causes. He had just been sentenced to
four years in the penitentiary.
——A young white man of this place
has brought disgrace to his respected
family by having had his jaw broken by
a blow from a colored man. The two
were members of a crowd that plays
poker in barn lofts and all sorts of
places, and got into an altercation
about twenty cents, the result being as
above stated. The break is ofsuch a
complex nature that only the most care-
ful treatment will save him from life
long disfiguremen t.
——Edward Murphy, of Big Run,
Jefferson county, died on the cars at
‘Woodland, near Clearfield, on last Mon-
day morning. He had been a sufferer
with heart and lung trouble and wanted:
to visit his father at Everett, Bedford
county, before he died, but the journey
was too much for him and just as the
train reached Woodland he expired. His
wife, his sister and his brother-in-law
were with him at the time.
——An unknown man was killed on
the rail-road, near Tyrone, on Saturday.
While attempting to board a west
bound freight train he was struck by an
east bound express. The Herald says;
“The dead man wore fairly good clothes
and his pockets contained only a few
trinkets with nothing at all: by which
he could be identified. He was about
forty years of age, stoutly built, with
dark complexion, black hair, mustache
and goatee, and was doubtless of Ger.
man extraction”.
——While driving along the road
near the Mill Hall axe factory, on Sun-
day afternoon, a horse hitched to a bug-
gv in which Miss Dora Garbrick, of
Jacksonville, and Miss Bertha Emerick,
of Rote, were riding became frightened
and started to runaway. It struck the
buggy ot Mr. Frank Ohl, throwing hig
wife out and seriously injuring her, and
finally got so near the edge of the creek
that both buggy and horse fell over the
embankment into the water. The
young ladies had fortunately been
thrown out before the vehicle went over
the bank. Miss Emerick was seriously
injured and was unconscious for some
time. Her companion sustained a few
slight bruises.
——At¢t the hom of his mother, at
Pleasant Gap, on last Sunday evening
the soul of John Dearment passed into
eternity. By trade he was a miner of
that honest straightforward type that
makes all callings honorable, however,
humble they may be. Fearing an at-
tack of Typhoid fever he came to his
mother’s home on the 1st of September,
where he knew the best care would be
his should those fears prove true. The
fever came, and he survived it, but only
to be stricken with pneumonia, which
soon proved fatal to his worn out con-
stitution. A wife, his mother with six
brothers and sisters survive.

THE GILBERT OPERA COMPANY.—
M eprockE—The production of Mil-
loecker’s opera, “The Black Hussar,”
by the Gilbert Co., at Garman’s opera
house, on Monday evening, was some- |
what of a disappoictment to a large
audience. The music of “the Hussar’ is |
difficult to sing and being almost void
of catchy little airs it leaves some very |
difficult work for a company to produce i
in a successful manner. The leading
roles were all well sustained and when
the colds with which several of the ar-
tists were noticeably suffering were tak-
en into consideration, their work was
very creditable indeed. It was in
the chorus, especially ir the male, that
the company was weak. The voices did
not seem to harmonize and their was so
much hesitation and drag that one was
led to suppose the chorus very green.
The “Hagenbeck’’ of Gilbert's under-
study, Fred Huntley’s “ Helbert’’, George
Williams’ delineation of “Piffko#’’ and
the Misses Reed and Freeman in the
characters of “Mina and Rosetta’ were
especially worthy of notice. All their
songs were artistic and rendered in a
manner far beyond the capability of the
chorus to sustain.
The failure of “Fleurette’’ to appear
and the absence of the ‘superb orches-
tra’ were disappointments explained by
a necessity to curtail expenses because of
poor business. The orchestra, all but
the pianist, and *‘Fleurette,”” the prem-
ier danseuse, having been released in
Williamsport Saturday night.
‘With a better chorus the Gilbert
company would be an excellent organi-
zation, for the leading people are very
good.
THE VENERABLE JoHN HARPER
DEeAD.—Yesterday morning at eight
o’clock the venerable John Harper, of
south Thomas street, succumbed to the
ravages af a paralytic stroke which had
been working his final dissolution since
last Thursday. Just one week ago he
was stricken and the paralysis gradually
overcame him, extending from his left
side to his arms, his tongue his eye sight
and finally his heart.
John P. Harper was born in Haines
township, this county, on June 18th,
1806, and was ccnsequently 87 years of
age. His early life was spent in agri-
cultural pursuits and from the home of
his birth he moved to Beech Creek,
Clinton county, where in 1882, his wife
died. Shortly afterward he came to
this place and has resided here with his
daughter ever since. He was a devout
Methodist, never failing in his church
no longer attend. Two sons, John, of
Lock Haven, and Theodore, of Union-
ville, and one daughter, Miss Mary, of
this place, mourn his death. He was
an uncle of Jared and William Harper
of this place.
Funeral services will be held in the
Methodist church, on Saturday.
A PROMINENT RESIDENT oF CENTRE
Harn Expires.—After an illness of
only five days with typhoid pneumonia
Levi Murray died at his home, in Centre
Hall,on last Sunday morning. The
serious nature of his malady being un-
known to the community the announce-
ment of his death was a severe shock to
it. Deceased was 51 years of age and
had occupied a position of esteem among
the people of his town. Fora number
of years he was engaged in school teach-
ing, from which he went into the car-
riage building business, but lately he
had been following his old profession of
teaching. He was a man of considerable
literary ability and will be missed by a
wife, two sons and a daughter. Deceased
was a brother of Jared Murray, the
druggist, at Centre Hall; Hon. W. A.
Murray, of Boalsburg; John Murray,
of Lemont; Dr. Murray, of Perry
county ; and Mrs. Houser, of Houser-
ville.
A FINE ATTRACTICN.-The summit of !
the Brocken on Walpagis night, one of |
the scenes in ‘‘Faust” which will be |
produced at Garman’s opera house, next |
Wednesday night, is one of the most |
realistic and startling scenic effects now |
on the stage. In this scene Mephisto, |
the evil spirit, shows Faust in the
revels of inferneo. Demons of all sizes
and shapes, witches compounding their
poisonous draughts and dragons with
fire belching from their nostrils. Snakes
twisting and writhing, imps, serpents,
screech owls, ete., are introduced in this |
scene. All this is highly embellished
with the aid of two calcium lights and |
taken all in all it is a wonderful piece :
of mechanism. In this scene also the
spectre of Marguerite appears and again
allures Faust from the demon’s grasp.
Prices 85 and 50 cents. Reserved seats
at Parish’s.

TRAINS COLLIDE AT A GRADE CROSS-
ING—A Tyrone and Clearfield coal train
collided with a Beech Creek passenger
at the grade crossing of the two roads,
just beyond Philincburg, on Tuesday
morning. Though the trains came to-
gether with such force as to completely
demolish both engines and two coal cars
no one was seriously injured.
The coal train was on its way out to
the mines with a string of empty cars
and had just reached the crossing when
the passenger train smashed into it.
Clarence Bradin, engineer of the coal
train, was severely bruised about the
legs and head. Both engineer and fire-
man of the passenger jumped when they
saw that the collision was unavoidable.
There was a watch box at the crossing,
which gives shelter to John Lyon, the
watchman, and when the cars rolled
over they upset the box, but its occu-
pant fortunately made his escape by
jumping out. None of the passenger
cars left the track.
