THE DISTRICT CONVENTION A GREAT
Success.—The first convention of the
firemen of Clearfield, Centre and Clin-
ton counties and of Tyrone and Bell-
on Wednesday, was a success in every
sense of the word.
The town had been gaily attired by
professional decorators and when the
firemen arrived Wednesday morning it
looked more as if dressed for a national
holiday than simply in honor of visitors.
Arches, bunting and flags were artistic-
ally arranged on street and building
and Philipsburg capped the climax by
even surpassing her wonted hospitality.
Everything was done to the pink of
nicety, the arrangements had been care-
fully made and fully carried out. No
hitches were discernible and the organi-
zation which will afford many a good
time for the firemen of this District was
launched into permanency in an appro-
priate way.
The parade moved promptly at
eleven o'clock in the following order :
Police detail, carriages containing town
council and visiting officials ; chiefs and
ex-cheifs ; Duboise band and fire de-
partment ; Curwensville band heading
the Rescue fire company of that place
and the Reynoldsville fire company ;
Excelsior fire company of Bellwood *
Houtzdale band, and fire] depart-
ment ; Citizens, and Friendship fire
companies of Tyrone ; Osceola band ;
Columuia and Columbia Jr., fire com-
panies of Osceola ; Visiting firemen not
organized, including delegations from
Bellefonte and Mifflin ; Clearfield fire
company ; Lock Haven Good Templar
band ; Good Will, Hope and Hand-in-
Hand fire companies of Lock Haven ;
Hoyt hose company of Blossburg;
Philipsburg band ; Hope and Reliance
fire companies of Philipsburg ; Dark-
town fire brigade of Williamsport.
The parade was the largest of the
kind ever seen in Philipsburg and the
representatives all made a fine showing.
The sports in the afternoon were well
contested and drew an enthusiastic
crowd.
In the steamer contest the Union
company of DuBoise wasthe only one
entered as the Neptune Co., of Tyrone,
had been debarred for not parading.
The Union was accordingly awarded
the prize of thirty-five dollars. The
hose contest was won by the Hand-in
Hand company, of Lock Haven. It
was awarded the first prize, $20.
In the hub contest, the DuBois
company received the first prize, $10.
it ran two blocks in 26 seconds. The
Clearfield band won the band prize of
$15. Curwensville took the prize for the
largest company, Houtzdale for the best
uniformed company and Osceola for hav-
ing the man with the largest nose.
The meeting of delegates effected a
permanent organization and decided to
hold the next annual convention at Du
Boise, on the 18th of June, 1894. All
left well pleased with the first meet of
the District firemen.
Tue Masons Visitep BY Hie
Di1GNITARIES.-- Wednesday was a bright
one in the history of Bellefonte chapter
H.R. A. No. 241, asit was the occasion
of the visit of the Grand High Priest
Edgar Tennis, and the officers of the
grand holy royal arch chapter of Penn-
sylvania. The visitors arrived on the
evening trains and were met by a dele-
gation from the home chapter they were
escorted to the hotels where they took
supper and prepared for the visitation
which began at half-past six and lasted
until after twelve o’clock. The cere-
monies observed were all very pretty
and impressive and when once finished
the whole assemblage adjourned to the
Brockerhoff House where a banquet
awaited them.
Words will scarcely describe the looks
of the dining room when the doors were
thrown open to receive the Knights;
it seemed a veritable fairy land. The
soft low lights of the banquet lamps, the
delicate harmony of the masonic colors
which prevailed in the decorations, the
shimmer of the rich cut glass and the
dreamy music all made it an ideal scene.
Eighty covers had been laid and there
was a knight for each one. With deft
grace the waiters served the various
courses of the following menu.
Oysters,
Blue Points,
Raw, Stewed,
Turkey, - - Cranberry Sauce.
Fricassee of Chicken, au Petit pois verd
Potato Salad, Salad de Volalie.
Pom de terra al’ Orleans.
Sugar Cured Ham, Tongue, Saratoga Chips,
Croquetts of Rice, au vieux Rum.
Grapes,
Choice Apples.
Chocolate Ice Cream, Vanila Ice Cream,
Assorted Cakes, Bisque Ice Cream,
Celery, Bananas,
Coffee. Tea, Chocolate,
Presiding at the spread was G. H.
P. Tennis, and the grand officers were
all grouped about him, while distinguish-
ed visitors from Huntingdon, Williams-
port, Lock Haven and Clearfield wera
| seated at different places about the ta-
| bles.
In the arrangement and serving
of the banquet Mr. Neubauer,proprietor
of the hotel, surpassed anything of the
kind that has been attempted heretofore
in this place, and the guests speak in
the highest praise of his entertainment.

county, had a snow squall on Monday

tree and had both shoulders dislocated.
——Barnum'’s circus was in Altoona,
on Saturday, but didn't show owing to

count of the high wind. The circus left

REFORMED CHURCH S0CIABLE.—The
ladies of the Reformed church of Belle-
fonte, will hold a sociable at the home
of W. H. Derstine, on north Penn
street, this Friday evening. All are
cordially invited to go and enjoy the
hospitality of the ladies of the church.
A good programme has been arranged.
——John H. McNally, a resident of
‘Woodward township, Clinton county,
was arrested, on Thursday, charged
with embezzling the funds of Clinton
Lodge, No. 98, I. 0. O. F., of Lock
Haven. He had been treasurer of the
organization for fifteen years and is
short $3,000 in his accounts. The man
has born an enviable reputation hereto-
fore.
——On Saturday evening, . October
28th, Kellar, the prince of magicians,
will come to the opera house for one of
his unique performances in legerdemain.
He needs no introduction to our readers
as he has been here twice lately and his
entertainments were of such a high or-
der of merit that the house was crowded
both times. There will more than likely
be a rush for seats so you had better se-
cure yours early if you intend going. A
special train willrun over the Bellefonte
Central to the College after the perform-
ance.
HE May Come HERE.--A glib-
tongued stranger, with a new swindle, has
made his appearance in Clarion county.
He asks whether or not the family has
lost any children and if the answer be
in the affirmative, the age, etc., will be
asked. Subsequently he puts in an ap-
pearance with a certificate containing
the information given and demands $5
for the same. His idea is to frighten
women into paying the amount. Throw
a pan of hot ashes in his face or let the
bulldog play with him.— Clarion Dem-
ocrat. 3
DeatH oF Mes. LEYDEN—Mrs |
Louisa Alexander Leyden, died at her
home at Beech Creek, on Wednesday
morning, of consumption of the throat,
and while her death was not expected so
suddenly, she has been in failing health
for three years.
Her early girlbood was spent in
Mifflin Co., where she was born in 1832.
A daughter of James and Ann Alexan-
der, she manifested the same characteris-
tics that made her brother, the late Hon.
Cyrus T. Alexander the prominent man
and lawyer he was. After her marriage
to Mr. Daniel Leyden she lived two
years in Tennessee, then until ’77 in
Bellefonte, and since then at Beech
Creek.
Her social and intellectual nature
naturally fitted her for a leader among
women and for years she was one of the
most active workers in the Women’s
Christian Temperance Union of Clinton
Co., and the Beech Creek Presbyterian
church. =
Her husband and four children,
James A, of Idaho ; Harry and Mrs.
Elliot, in Chicago; and Edward, at home
have the deepest sympathy of the com-
munity for she was an exceptional wo-
man.
Funeral services will be held at her
late home. The remains will be brought
here for burial this afternoon on the 5:20
train and will be taken direct to
the Union cemetery.
——People who went from here to
Chicago were somewhat abashed at the
general desecration of the Sabbath in
the Windy city. Every visitor from
these parts, where the Sunday is as
sacredly kept as it is possible for it to be,
was shocked at some one thing oran-
other that was seen carried on, on the
Lord’s day just as on any of the other
days of the week. In fact one parent
from this place wrote to her boy not to
go to the Fair on Sunday, because it
was wicked and imagine her horror
when she received word from him that
he had taken her advice and did not go
with the rest of the fellows, ‘who in-
tended spending the day in the art gal-
‘lery, but had grown so lonesome in the
afternoon that he went out to the ball
grounds to see Monte Ward’s team play
ball.” It was the truth for ball games,
theatres, stores, drinking places and all
manner of amusements were on out
there on Sunday, with larger crowds
than ary other day of the week. Our
good christian readers need not have
gone clear to Chicago to have seen part
of those things at least, for on Sunday
last there was a match game of ball out
at Roopsburg in which the Egg Town
team wiped up the ex-brewers in a hotly
contested game. There was quite a
crowd of sports from Bellefonte in at}
tendance too.

JunGE Furst OVER-RULED IN THE
ARMOR WILL CASE.—One of the most
complicated cases that has come before
the Centre county courts for years has
beep that in which the testamentary
capacity of the late Ruth B. Armor has
heen questioned by the Armor heirs.
The case arose from a claim made by
Monroe Armor et al that undue influence
was brought to bear on decedent
by her executor David M. Butts when
the will was made.
It was tried first before the Orphan’s
court at which Judge Furst ruled that
she was of sound mind and hence capa-
ble ct making a will at the time she
did. The case was entered on the dock-
et as follows: D. M, Butts Executor
of Ruth B. Armor ve Monroe Armor
et al, heirs of Ruth B. Armor. De.
fendants appealed to the Supreme Court
where the decision of Judge Furst was
reversed and it was sent back here for
trial by jury.
At the last August term it came
up and a verdict was rendered for de-
fendants, whereupon Judge Furst set
aside the finding of the jury, ona re.
served point of law, said reserved point
baving since been published. When
motion for a new trial was made at Ar-
gument court it was over-ruled on the
reserved point of law that she was
testamentary capable at the time
she made her will and the case
stood in that condition until yester-
day’s session, when Associate Judges
Riley and Faulkner over-ruled the
President Judge as follows:
The opinion and decree filed on October 13th?
1893, in this case by Hon. A. O. Furst presiding
judge having been prepared aud filed by him
without consultation with the majority of the
court, does not correctly express the opinion
of the court. We differ from the conclusions
drawn by the president judge from the testi-
mony given on the trial of the case, and are of
the opinion that there was ample evidence
requiring the court to submit to the jury the
question of testamentary capacity of Ruth B,
Armor, on February 20th, 1890 and to justify
the jury in finding the verdict for the de-
fendants.
We therefore over-rule the president judge
in his order to enter judgment for the plain-
tiff on the reserved question notwithstanding
the verdict for the defendants..
And now October 20th, 1893, we order judg"
ment to be entered on the verdict for the
defendants. And we farther order the Pro_
thonotary to certify the record, and judgment
thereon to the Orphans’ Court.
By the court.

cated condition of the case is rather hard

if the ruling yesterday is sustained, the
verdict of the jury in August will
hold.
THEY WIN AND LoSE oN THE First
Trip.—Much interest was manifested
in the out-come of the first trip away
from home of the Pennsylvania State
College foot ball eleven this season. As
so much had been said as to the strength
of the players and no opportunity given
by which a comparison withthe strong
team of last season could be drawn, the
result of last Saturday’s game at Char-
lottsville, Va., and Monday’s game at
Washington, D. C., was looked upon
as the only eriterion of the kind of foot
ball P. 8. C. will put up when she lines
up against such rivals as Bucknell,
Franklin and Marshall, Dickinson and
Lehigh University. The former game
with the. University of Virginia, was
an interesting and well played one, our
team having come off victorious with a
goal from a touch down while thesouth-
erners were contented witha 0. Inas-
much as Johnny Poe the great Prince-
ton coach had been training them this
victory is looked upon as very satisfac-
tory by these who think the eollege
eleven stronger this year than ever.
The game with the Columbia Athlet-
ic club, on Monday, was more of a slug-
ging match than a foot-ball contest and
resulted in a score of 12 to 6 in favor of
the Columbias, after the umpire and
three Subs. had all been taken into the
fight for the home club. They made
two touch downs in the last three min-
utes of play which seems evidence that
Capt. Haley did not even attempt to
have his men hold up the robbers.
The out come of the trip proves the
surmise of the WATCHMAN, made sever-
al weeks since, that Dowler, who is a
wonderful guard, falls far short of the
requirements of a tackle. He should
go back to his old position ere he loses
the honor which would keep his name
tresh in the annals of P. 8. C’s foot ball
career. Wolfe would play better at
tackle, a place be always filled hereto-
fore. White and Harris on the ends
are setting a fast pace for the rest of the
team and more than {ulfill expectations.
At centre rush Mr. Hoskins has found
a place where his enormous muscle can
be brought into play with telling effect.
He met two giants while on the tripand
held them both. The other new man
on the team is Dunsmore another tack-
le ; he is perhaps the best find of the
season. Brown is again playing his
fine game at full and Atherton is even
better than he was last year at quarter.
The weak places yet, if there be any,
are the halfs, but it is not likaly that
any change will be made as Fay will
play with the team and the ends will
be worked quite as much as the halfs.

A Very OLD DocUMENT.-—In our
next issue we will publish a list of the
names of the taxables in Bellefonte in
the year 1824, when Anthony Kleckner
and Jacob Hering were Commissioners
of Centre county. We have in our pos-
session the tax duplicate for that year
issued to Franklin B. Smith, who was
cellector then. He was an uncle of
E. I. and Jos. Gilliland, who conduct a
large general merchandise business at
Pottersdale, Pa.
On the duplicate are many names
still prominent in town and some that
have long since ceased to be heard.

blue for ladies at §4. The best we have
ever seen for the money. Lyon & Co.
GRAND MILLINERY OPENING NEXT
TugespAyY.—Already the feminine heart
is fluttering in anticipation of the de-
light which the grand opening of fall
and winter millinery at Mrs. Gilmore's,
on Tuesday, October 24th, will’ bring.
Such a stock of fine hats, bonnets and
trimmings has never before been
brought to the town and when Mrs.
Gilmore displays her full line of dainty
novelties in head-gear the expectations,
of those who are looking for something
fine, will be realized.
Specialties, at her store in the Brock-
erhoff house block, are stamped linen
and hair switches of which she carries a
complete line. A call will convince you
that she has the best.
Don’t forget that next Tuesday will
be the opening day.
TaEY MET A BEAR.—One night last
week, says a late issue of tke Tyrone
Times, Hiram and John Waite, of Wa-
terstreet, Huntingdon county, went to a
neighboring mountain for coons.
Neither of the boys are over 16. They
carried a double-barreled shotgun and
were accompanied by & dog. The dog
soon tracked a coon, which led the boys
a weary chase almost to the top of the
mountain, where it was treed by the dog.
Hiram, the elder of the brothers, strap-
ped the gun on his back and started to
climb the tree. He had ascended only
about ten feet when a large black bear
appeared on the scene. Hiram jumped
to the ground and with his brother start-
ed on a run for their home, about half a
mile distant: The bear, which had kill-
ed the dog at a blow of its paw, started
after the boys down the mountain.
The boys were too frightened to at-
tempt to show their pursuer fight and
so they continued to run. The bear
gave the boys a close chase until they
reached home when they succeeded in
getting into the door just asthe bruin
came up. Mr. Waite aroused by the
boys’ cries, soon ascertained the trou-
ble and, with a farm hand, he attacked
the bear with an axe and killed it. The
bear was a full grown female and
weighed 170 pounds.

A BELLEFONTE Boy PROSPERING IN
PHILADELPHIA.—From an article in
the Commercial Times, of Monday, we
learn that Meyer G. Guggenheimer is
now proprietor of a large commission
house at 716 Arch street. His specialty
is furs, and the Times says:
“In his salesroom will be found a
large and complete assortment of cloaks
and furs, all of the very latest and most
fashionable styles, elegantly and suitably
trimmed by the most skillful designers,
while the finer grades are fully equal in
all respects to the same class of goods
made to order at any of our leading es-
tablishments. We would call attention
to his line of fur garments and ladies’
neck scarfs and to his fursin general,
which are not surpassed by anything of
the same character to be found in this
city. Mr. Guggenheimer is in position
to give to the trade the best advantages
as to cost of the goods.”
Meyer will be remembered as the old-
est son of Isaac Guggenheimer, who was
at one time one of the leading merchants
of this place. His friends here will ba
gratified to learn of his success.

ON THE LECTURE PLATFORM.—Mr.
‘William 1 Swoope, of Clearfield, who
at one time was a lawyer in this place,
has decided to turn his talent as an elo-
cutionist and lecture entertainer to prof-
it. A descriptive eircular of his reper-
etoire informs us that he will take the
platform with two lectures, “men and
women in fiction” and ‘‘the passions in
Shakes peare,” as well as an abundant
store of tragic and comic impersonations.
Mr. Swoope is a good talker and has
had the advantage of a very thorough
education and will doubtless succeed in
pleasing the most critical audiences.

Tue EmsezzLiNG TYRONE Post OF-
¥ICE CLERK SENTENCED.—The October
term of the United States district court
opened Monday at Pittsburg with Judge
Buffington on the bench. The second
case tried was that of Samuel N. Wil-
liams, former chief clerk in the Tyrone
postoffice, for embezzlement. The de-
fendant admitted his guilt, and his attor-
ney, Ex-Governor JamesA. Beaver, of
Bellefonte, made a brilliant and sympa-
thetic appeal to the court for leniency.
His appeal which recited all the mitiga-
ting circumstances entitling the young
man to the most generous treatment
consonant with the law, was besides
backed up by an immense petition sign-
ed by the citizens of Tyrone. General
Beaver asked that his client be sent to
the Huntingdon reformatory. Judge
Buffington sentenced the young man to
pay a fine of $5 and spend one year in
the Huntingdon reformatory. The sen-
tence is as light as could possibly be ex-
pected.— Herald.
