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

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-

More EscaPEs FROM THE COUNTY
JaiL.--The shades of evening had
scarcely fallen on last Saturday when
the escape of two more prisoners, who
seem to have disappeared into obscurity
as effectually as the two who broke the
jail a week previous.
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. One, James

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.

instruction for the fiscal year ending
June 5, is being prepared by Dr.

and people were all wrapped in slumber
the flames completely destroyed the
mill with all its machinery and consid-

The flames spread from the first build-

could be subdued had damaged the
property to the extent of several hun-

eastern cities are anxiously looking foz-
ward to the great game at Manheim to-
morrow, between the University of Penn-
sylvania and Princeton, those in this
section who admire the popular college
sport are just as much worked up over
the game that will be played on Beaver
Field, at State College, tomorrow after-
noon between the Western University
of Pennsylvania, from Allegheny, and
the State College champions of the In-
ter-Collegiate Foot Ball Association.
The visitors are reputed the strongest
team in the Western part of the
State and as the kickers of the Centre
county institution are considered the
only worthy rivals et the TU. of P. in
the State a strong game, may be looked
for.
A special train will leave this place,
over the Bellefonte Central at 1 o'clock,
returning in time to make connections
both east and west over the Bald Eagle
valley. The round trip fare from here,
including admission to the game, will be
$1.
The line up of the teams will be as
white satin. At the home wedding
blue and white predominated. Two of
the bridesmaids wearing blue silk with
white velvet sleeves and two wearing
white silk with blue velvet sleeves and
all carried bouquets of chrysanthemums,
with which the house was beautifully
decorated. Miss Edith, who wore pink
as one of her sister’s bridesmaids, was
married in white bengaline.
Over two hundred guests were pres-
ent and thoroughly enjoyed the good
music and delicious refreshments.
Many beautiful presents were received,
and after the visit to the Eastern cities,
the young people will go to California,
Missouri, where both have homes far-
nished.
