Hick’s oN NovEMBER WEATHER. — Irl Hicks, the weather prophet, in his forecast for November, says that about the 2d and 3d of November will centre a reactionary change to warmer, which change will begin in the west with southerly winds, growing cloudiness and rain. These conditions will ad- vance eastward during the 3d and 4th, followed closely by the shifting ot the wind westerly and colder. About the 7th a very marked storm period will be- gin. Both the Vulean and Mercury disturbances are central on the 8th, making direct connection with the new moon on the morning of the same day. This period will set in with decided change to warmer in western parts, re- sulting in very active storms of rain and wind, turning to snow and sleet in many places northward aad followed ——On last Friday, Mrs. Delinda ; promptly by a severe and general cold Mason, aged 82 years, of near Beech Creek, died of old age. —— The heavy frost on Monday night put an effectual end to outside plant vegetation in this section. —— Interesting revival services are being conducted in the Evangelical church on Willowbank street. ——Miss Develing and Mrs, Tonner gave a most delightful Hallow E’en party at their hospitable home on} Tuesday Evening. ——The Pennsylvania synod of the Presbyterian church will hold its next annual session in Tyrone, during the month of October 1894. ——XKellar played to “standing room only” at Garman’s, last Saturday night. wave. From about the 7th to 10th, be- ginning in the west, all parts of the country willin turn experience the progressive and changing phrases of the period. There are reasons to apprehend hard and dangerous gales in connection with the disturbances of this period, es- pecially on the lakes and northerly seas. Sharp cold and freezing may be expect- ed immediately behind the area of low barometers, and storms, causing cold and frosty weather, generally up to the changes to warmer and stormy from about the 14th to 16th.

The final crisis of this period may not come until full moon, on the 23d, but be ready for severe storms with danger on the lakes, at any time during the period. The Venus extremes from warm to sudden and piercing cold, with thunder and rain, turning to northwest gales and snow, will show themselves at this time. The Venus equinox is central on the 9th, and its influence will be plainly felt in all disturbances for about twenty ays before and twenty after that date. Ordinary or normal disturbances other- wise will be excited into great and pro- longed violence, so that many disasters will be heard from. movement about the 23d to 27th will The reactionary ——Secarlet fever and diphtheria are both prevalent in Altoona. ——Thirty-four prisoners are confin- ed in the Clearfield county jail. ——Ovide Musin grand concert com- pany will be here next Thursday even- ing, November 9th, for an entertain- ment in Garman’s opera house. ——Mrs. Robert Gilmore’s millinery in the Brockerhoff house block is the only place in town where a large and varied assortment of fine hair switches and stamped lined can be found. ——Helen Dauvray Ward, the actress, is suing for a complete divorce from her husband, John Montgomery Ward.

Feidler the post master at this place has resigned and only waits for the acceptance of his resignation before retiring from his office. When the news that Mr. Feidler had resigned leaked out there was a general scramble among the applicants for the appoint- ment and Messrs.

After the family of Sheriff [shler had finished supper, on Saturday evening, they were sitting about the dining room table talking, when footsteps 1n the kitchen attracted their attention. An immediate investigation was made, but no one being found in that part of the house, which can be entered from the jail yard, the jail was looked into and the discovery made that Sammy Meese and John Watkins were missing. The masons had been in the jail that day fill- ing up the hole in cell No. 14, through which Johnson and Freeman escaped. They had completed their work, the cell had been scrubbed out and left to dry, but before the mortar had time to set, Meese and Watkins tore itout and escaped. They made a rope of the bed clothing with which they lowered themselves to the jail yard and boldly walked out through the kitchen of the jail. Meese was serving a sentence of nine months for having assaulted Charles Shearer atthe Brockerhoff house jon the 16th of last August. Heis a short, heavily built young man with a brown mustache and dark hair and is an iron worker by trade. Watkins was sent up, at the August term, for one year for having kept a bawdy house out along Marsh Creek somewhere. He is a man about 6ft 2in in height, very thin, with eyes deeply sunken in his head, heavy light mustache and about forty years of age. WARD'S BEGINNING AS A CURVE PrrcaEr.—The following article from the Harrisburg Telegraph seems to con- tradict the idea of many Bellefonters that J. M. Ward learned to throw a curve when he was a student at State College. : “The Chambersburg Repository refers to an article printed in these columns some time ago in which the asertion was made that Will F. Hutter, of Har- risburg, now of Titusville, first taught John Montgomery Ward how to pitch acurved ball. The editor of the Re- pository wrote to Mr. Ward to ask him to settle the question, and Mr. Ward replied as follows. “Neither Frank Hutter nor John Flack taught me the carve.

The discourse on Sunday at 2;30 is upon “The United States in Prophsy’” and will be followed by other lectures show- ing that catholicism and protestantism are resolving into a religious hierarchy in this country. Lectures are held each evening. Diep SuDDENLY.—On Sunday morn- ing at ten o’clock the death messenger summoned the mortal remains of Mrs. William Harrison, of Pleasant Gap, in- to immortality. She had been ill only a day and the sad conditions attending her death made it a peculiarly afilicting one to her husband and infant daughter, who survive. At the time of her death Mr. Harrison was at New Kensington, but arrived home in time for the funeral on Wednesday. Deceased was about twenty five years old and a daughter of the late Henry Eckenroth, of Pleasant Gap.

As the town has ne regularly organized fire department and people were all wrapped in slumber the flames completely destroyed the mill with all its machinery and consid- erable finished work. The loss will ag- gregate $2500, on which there is no in- surance. The flames spread from the first build- ing to the large brick roller mill of the D. A. Musser estate and before they could be subdued had damaged the property to the extent of several hun- dred dollars, The farm house of J.
