test Parisian bonnet.

been a sufferer for many months.
——The interior of Sechler & Co’s.,
well regulated grocery, in the Bush

ance just now. A complete re-arrange-
ment of the shelving, with an artistic
display of canned goods, makes the
store about the trimmest looking one in
town.
——Two years ago there was a for-
eignerin Bellefonte who made a pro-
fession of cleaning furs, He was very
-out-spoken in his endorsement of the
ideas of Anarchism, so when the news
came that 8 man named Vaillant had
thrown a bomb into the French cham-
ber of Deputies, in Paris, many thought
it was the man who was here. An in-
vestigation has disclosed the fact that
the description of our Vaillant and the
one who threw the bomb on Saturday
does not tally.
Doings AT CourT,—When the
WATcEMAN went to press last week the
jury was out on the case of Lot. W.
Kimport vs M. G. Brown to recover
damages for lumber cut on his land by
defendant. The ownership of the land
was in dispute until the court decided it
to be the property of plaintiff whereup-
on he immediately brought suit for
damages. The jury awarded him $97.-
97.
The next case taken up was that of
Jno. C. Motz vs Harvey Bishop, to re-
cover damages for the burning of a saw
mill. It appears that the plaintiff
owned a mill and a lumber yard near
Coburn, which was on the route of a
tram road which led to a lumber opera-
tion' which Bishop had farther in the
mountains. A dinkey engine hauled
the logs out from Bishop's place to the
wharf on the L. & T. rail-road. One
day this engine stopped to take water
near the Motz mill and sparks from it
set fire to an old stable near by ; from it
they spread to the lumber, which with
the mill, was entirely destroyed. Plain-
tiff claimed $5,000 and was awarded
$100. His attorneys moved for a new
trial.
Foster Fannon and Robert Brennan
vs D. R. Thomas. This case grew out
of a horse trade between John Rishel
and Fannon. Rishel traded a stallion
for an old mare which he found out
afterwards would balk and of course
wanted Fannon to take her back which
he would not do. So one evening th®
wily John returned the mare, ‘swiped’
his stud and hurried home. Later he
sold the horse to D. R. Thomas and
Fannon hearing this got out a writ of
replevin to which Thomas responded by
giving bonds for twice the value of the
horse. Fannon would not take his old
mare back, but carried the case to court
and received a verdict of $160 which
Rishel will have to pay as he guaran-
teed the sale of the stallion to Thomas,
Danville asylum for insane vs the
Bellefonte overseers of the poor. Ver-
dict for plaintiff of $843.48.
Case of Geo. W: Jackson vs] Nittany
Valley R, R. Co., to recover damages
for right of way through plaintiff’s ore
operations below town. There was only
about one acre of ground occupied but
the line ran across the mines in such a
way as to interfere with their working.
Sometime ago viewers awarded Mr.
Jackson $4,000 damages. The case was
tried and to the surprise of all the jury
found for defendants.
The case now trying is that of Ly-
man Korman vs A. G. Morris to recov-
er damages for the loss of his sight
while working for defendant at his
stone quarries in Armor’s gap. The
prosecution is basing its claim on the
fact that a faulty fuse caused a prema-
tare explosion by which Korman lost
his sight.
Tue BURGLAR, —First a page in Con
gress, then a railroad man, then an offi-
cial in the Knights of Labor, then a
student of law, actor, journalist, lectur-
er and playwright. This in brief cov-
ers the workaday history of Augustus
Thomas, author of “The Burglar’’—one
of the most successful American plays,
financially, of the time and an artistic
triumph of the first magnitude.
When Fritz Emmet was playing to
the children of North St. Louis “Gus,”
a light-haired tot, was his warmest ad-
mirer, and in playing second to Joe he
got his first ideas of acting. At eleven
he was a page in Congress and a pet of
General Ben Butler. Halt a dozen years
later he worked at railroading in St.
Louis, and at nineteen was master work-
man of Assembly No. 9, Missouri. His
reputation as the youngest master work-
man in America gave him much fame.
He joined the Dickson Sketch club in
St. Louis, wrote the play ¢Editha’s
Burglar,” played the burglar through
the country, and then brought out
“Alone,” “Combustion.” “Afie”
Thoughts,” “A Leaf from the Woods,”
and “A Man of the World.” He
studied law, went into newspaper work,
became a successful reporter, ‘‘correspon-
ded” the Blaine illness at Muskogee, I.
T., from a cow pony’s back, and de-
livered humorous and serious charcoal
lectures through the South sand West.
Two years ago he settled in New York,
and has since written plays for Mana-
ger A. M. Palmer.
The Burglar will be presented at Gar-
man’s opera house tomorrow evening.
MARRIED A QUARTER OF A CENTURY.
—This evening December 15th, Mr. and
Mrs. R. A. Kinsloe, of Philipsburg,
will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniver-
sary of their marriage. In other words
it will be the silver wedding of the well
known editor and his estimable wife.
Mr. Kinsloe has been connected with
the newspaper business of this State for
years and has become so well known
that there will be few who will not be:
gratified with us that he has happily
reached the twenty-fifth mile stone on
bis journey of married life. It is sad,
but inevitable that we must all grow
old and we trust that Mr. and Mrs.
Kinsloe may be spared to celebrate
many more anniversaries of their wed-
ding.

11 rabbits and 8 pheasants. Mr. Sny-
der is sixty-nine years of age, and wears
the belt as the champion hunter of the

ed on Medix run annually for thirty
years past.
——The production of the Cantata of
“Jephthah and His Daughter” by ama-
teurs, for the benefit ofthe Y. M. C. A.,
was a decided success from an artistic
point of view, but the audience at the
Monday and Tuesday night performan-
ces was not near so large as it should
have been. The play was presented by
the best talent that could be procured in
the town and under the careful guidance
of J. E Kane, of Chicago, moved as
smoothly as if it had had been a well
organized road company. However
fairly rendered as were the lines by
those who had them, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that it was a benefit for a
christian purpose, there were those who
had the poor judgment to criticise it in
the severest manner. What motive
could have prompted persons to ridicule
those who were trying to do their best
is hard to surmise, but be it said to their
shame that while they were abusing
those who had the kindness to do what
they could they were only lowering
themselves in the minds of well think-
ing people. We do not mean to say
that every one has not a perfect right to
express his or her opinion on any sub-
ject whatever, but criticisms from people
who could do-no better themselves come
CENTRAL RAIL-RoaD News.—The
long looked for opening of the new Cen- |
tral Railroad of Pennsylvania for pas-
senger traffic which has been set for
| Monday morning, Dacember 18th, is so
| near at hand that those who have been
most interested in securing a new traffic
outlet for Bellefonte, are beginning to
realize that taeir dreams are about to as-
sume material shape.
The road has been completed and
there remains yet only those little finish-
ing touches which time and. the daily
finding of needs can add to make it com-
plete in every respect. Freight bas
been handled during all this week, but
the road will not assume a condition of
‘regularity until the schedule of passen-
ger trains, which we append, goes into
effect.
The WATCHMAN has already .given
its readers full description of all the roll-
ing stock and stations owned by the
new company and there remains only
to be said that its bid for public patron-
age will be based upon a guarantee of
comfort and efficiency in both freight
and passenger.departments.
The list of station agents along the
line of the new road, so far as appointed
will be as follows: Bellefonte, L. T.
Munson ; Zion, J. Philip Gephart;
Hublersburg, P. M. Dietrick ; Nittany,
not named ; Huston, R. E. Peck ; La-
mar, George W. Pletcher; Clintondale,
not named ; Mackeyville, J. Woods
Ferguson ; Salona, W. C. Brown ; Mill
Hall, J. S. Hills the agent of the Beech
Creek railroad company. The engineer
of the passenger train will be Charles
Gilmour and the conductor will be from
the Beech Creek.

Herr tHE LogAN FIREMEN.--It is
well known to the citizens of Bellefonte
tbat the fire companies of this town are
practically self supporting, for while
they each get a nominal appropriation
from council they are forced to make up
the large proportion of their expenses in
whatever way they can. It will be
remembered also that they receive
nothing whatever for their services and
we need not tell our readers how cheer-
fully and faithfully they have been |
rendered. j
That we have a progressive fire depart-
ment everyone is fully conversant and
that progression which has given us
two fine steam engines, a team of hand-
some horses, and all the other perquisites
necessary to goed service, has been due
solely to the untiring efforts of the fire-
men themselves, who are for the most
part men who can not easily afford
personal outlays for such a purpose.
Now it has been customary for the
firemen to ask the aid of our people in
various ways and the Logans intend
asking assistance to help them carry
on a fair during the holiday week,
They want to begin on Saturday De-
cember 22nd and continue for one week
until Saturday, December 29th. Our
people should all respond liberally to
the call of the committee which will
have the work in charge. Fancy
work of all kinds will be accep-
table and the young ladies in town
can find profitable employment in mak-
ing nice trinkets for the firemen. All
kinds of things that can be sold will be
taken and our people should respond
li berally.

NEw RAIL-ROAD CONNECTIONS. —
Most important and significant piece of
railroad construction in the United
States at present is that which will
next spring connect New Haven, on the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie, with Clear-
field, on the Beech Creek road.
The Beech Creek road is now opera-
ted to Mahaffy, twentyfive miles beyond
Clearfield. There now remains but
twenty-five miles of track to connect
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie and Beech
Creek railroads. Both roads are owned
by the Vanderbilts. When the track
is completed it will give the Vanderbilts
access to some of the richest coal regions
in Pennsylvania. More than that, it
will give them a new through freight
and passenger route from Chicago via
Pittsburg and Philadelphia to ‘New
York.
The latter part of the route will be
formed in connection with the Phila-
delphia and Reading and the Lehigh
Vailey. It will make a mileage from
Chicago via Philadelphia to New York
of less than 1,000 miles, almost exacily
the present mileage of the Lake Shore
and New York Central via Buffalo.
By using the more direct and northern
lines of the Reading and Lehigh Valley
the mileage can be reduced to almost
exactly the present mileage of the
Pennsylvania between Chicago and
New York. This plan will be carried
out in itsentirety as early as possible
next spring.--Philipsburg Ledger.

OF INTEREST TO THE NATIONAL
GuarD.—Representatives of the Gettys-
burg land association were in Harrisburg
recen tly to confer with Adjutant Gener-
al Greenland un the selection of a site
for the division encampment of the
National Guard. It is understood that
the level open space across which Pick-
ett made his charge will be selected.
The division encampment next year
takes the place of the one that would
have been held this year, but which was
turned into regimental camps, owing to
the breaking up of the regular camps in
1892 by the Homestead affair. General
Greenland says the guard was never in
bet ter condition, and there is no inten-
tion at present of disbanding any com-
panies to makes room for others, nor of
forming a new artillery ccmpany.—Ez.
