Tug ConrAD HoUusE AGAIN A Vic-
1M oF THE FLAMES, —If there is one
building in Bellefonte that has done its
best to withstand the ravages of fire it is
the old Conrad house, the charred and
blackened walls of which te-day stand as
a monument to the indendiary who
started the fire which gave it itssixth
scorching.
Shortly before four o'clock last Mon-
day morning Dr. Geo. F. Harris, who
lives on High street near Allegheny,
was awakened by the smell of smoke.
Having had a previous experience of
the same sort he went out to investigate
and found that a fire was burning fierce-
ly in the hallway of the Conrad house,
which stands on the east side of Alle-
gheny street, just opposite the Brocker-
hoff House and immediately between
the Jackson, Crider & Hastings bank
building and Lyon & Co's store. An
alarm was quickly turned in but for
some reason the whistle was not blown
for some time after the fire was discov-
ered and by the time the fire deparment
was on the scene the flames hac¢ burned
their way from the first floor clear to
the roof.
Had the Undine engine not met with
an accident on the way to the fire the
flames might have been subdued before
they gained such headway, for two
young men who heard the first alarm
succeeded in getting it out of the
engine house, on Logan street, but in
coming down the hill it ran away from
them and striking the heavy iron lamp
post at Aiken’s corner fell clear over
on its side and smased the post into a
hundred pieces. Of course it was rendered
useless and as there was very little
force from the plugs all that could be
done was to wait for the arrival of the
Logan steamer. It was on the scene in
a few moments and soon a number of
streams were turned on the fire, which
had by that time broken out at many
places on the roof. The flames burned
fiercely for awhile, but the heavy
stone walls of the building kept them
well confined so that neither the bank
building, Lyon’s store building, nor
Garman’s stables in the rear were dam-
aged and the fire was so well handled
that none of the adjacent buildings were
in danger at any time.
The Conrad house was completely
gutted. Fire, smoke and water played
havoc with the interior of the building.
The flames ran along the partitions,
which burned like tinder, and were not
stopped until they had badly scorched
all of the building except the southern
end. That portion was badly damaged
by water so that none escaped.
The first floor was occupied by the
pool room of Geo. B. Crawford, Beezer’s
meat market and the law and insurance
offices of W. C. Heinle and Chas. Smith
On the second floor Dr. J, H. Mullen
had his office and living room. He was
away at the time and his effects were
badly damaged, The Centre Democrat
printing office occupied the southern
end of the second floor and for awhile it
! looked as though it would be entirely
destroyed, but that part of the building
was not damaged except by water and
the Democrat suffered little except on
its paper stock and the inconvenience
occasioned by moving. It issued, as
usual, from Garman’s Opera house build-
ing, on High street. The third floor
wage unoccupied.
The following insurance was held on
the building and contents :

——On Sunday evening last Lock

gone up in smoke. It originated in the
confectionery store of F. E. Finney, on
Main street, and spread to the adjoining
properties of W. H. Parsons and "J. C.
White, the former a grocery, the latter a
meat market. The buildings were all
frame structures and in each instance

s pecial week of court, which began on
Monday morning, with Judges Furst,

resulted in the partial clearing up of
some of the work that has been hang-

A decree was handed down in the
case of Mrs. David Lohr vs Pailipsburg

here for some time. At the November
term a jury awarded her a verdict of

By TEE COURT.
A. O. Furst, President Judge.
The first case taken up was that of
Philip Collins vs the Bellefonte Cen-
tral Railroad Co., to recover for the rol-
ling stock now in use by defendants to
which he claims ownership. It was a
case that seemed reasonable to all who
listened to it, yet a technicality left the
question in doubt. It arose from the
sale of the old Buffalo Run road on a
mortgage, the present company having
been the purchasers; and they claimed
that they bought all appurtenances with
the road. The prosecutor brought suit
to recover for the rolling stock because
he averred that it belonged to him and
could not be transferred on the sale of
the Buffalo Run, because he had only
leased it to the Buffalo Run Co., on a
consideration of $2500 per annum. The
case tried until Wednesday noon when
Mr. Collins was given judgment in the
sum of $12,891.42.
In the case of Mary Fravel vs Sarah
Crisssman, executrix of Ete, of Adam
Crissman, deceased, an action to recov-
er amount due plaintiff from the estate
of Adam Crissman, a verdict was or-
dered by the Court in faver of the plain-
tiff in the sum of $658.81.
In the case of Alfred Jones represent-
ing Jones & Landon founders, of Phil-
ipshurg, use of, vs. Pennsylvania State
College, a verdict was found for the
plaintiif in the sum of $344.09. Case
was brought to recover unpaid balance
on contract for a steam heating job
which tue College claimed had not been
done satisfactorily.
In the case of The Bird Coal and Iron
Co. vs E. C. Humes a jury was sworn
and instructed to return a verdict in fa-
vor of the defendant. The result ofa
settlement after years of litigation,
The breach of promise case of Carrie
V. Wilson, a vivacious young woman
from Hublersburg, against Harry
McCauley, a young farmer’s son from

tention of the court now. The young
lady claimed he had paid her attention
for six years, given her various presents,
his picture and lastly promised mar-
riage ; to all of which he entered a full
denial. In her suit she did not stipu-
late what amount she would like to
have for her affections, so lightly val-
ued by McCauley.

——The death of Mrs. Edward Bech-
dol, which occurred at her home in
Hublersburg, on Tuesday morning, was
one of particular sadness. She was a
bride of just five weeks when she fell a
victim to grip and died. Her maiden
name was Maggie Decker.
——Judge Gordon's first sitting in the
License court in Clearfield county has
thus far been rather encouraging to the
temperance element over there. The
Curwensville Review in an article on
the question says: “Of the hotel peti-
titions before the court 59 have been
granted, 45 refused and 33 not yet acted
upon. Restaurant applicants, 9 have
been granted, 13 refused and 8 not acted
upon. One distillery and two brewery
licenses were granted. This is an en-
couraging report for the first license
court presided over by Judge Gordon
and is an indication that about one-half
the applicants will get license. A. care-
ful review of the list shows that licenses
have been judiciously located for the
accommodation of the traveling public.”
OF REVOLUTIONARY ANCESTRY.—A
woman whose ancestors figured with
distinction in the Revolutionary army,
died at three o'clock on Tuesday, on
north Spring street. It was Miss Mary
DeHaas who, with her sister, moved here
from Romola lastspring and had since
resided in one of the Powers houses.
She was a daughter of the late John P.
DeHaas, of Curtin township, and a
grand-daughter of General Philip De-
Huss, who was a line officer in the
Revolutionary war, and also an officer
in the French and Indian war previous
to that.
Deceased was about fifty years of age
and had been ill but a short time. She
was a devoted member of the Disciple
church and her remains were taken to
Romola yesterday morning, where in-
terment was made in the Disciple
grave yard.
GALWAY AND HARRIS.—A wedding
that was the society event of the week
was that of Miss Lydia Toner Harris,
only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Harris, and William H. Galway,
of Radford, Va., which was solemnized
Tuesday, at 12 o’clock, at the bride's
home on Howard street.
The house was decorated with great
masses of flowers, palms and screens of
smilax and a number of friends and
relatives witnessed the ceremony which
was said by Rev. William A. Houck,
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
The bride, who is quite a favorite in
the social circles of the town, wore a
gown of heavy white silk, trimmed
with Duchess lace, a diamond pendant
the groom’s gift, and carried bride’s
roses. After the wedding breakfast Mr.
and Mrs. Galway left on tte 2.15 train
for a wedding tour which will terminate
at their new home in Radford, Vir-
ginia, where the groom, who for several
years was connected with the Centre
fron Co, of this place, is cashier of
the Radford Trust Company. ~

BURNED BY A PREMATURE EXpLo-
sion oF Rock Powbper.—About dark,
last Saturday evening, an explosion of
roek powder came near ending the life
of young William McMullen, who lives
at Morris’ lime kilns on the Bellefonts
Central rail-road. The particulars of
the accident are about as follows,
The quarrymen at the kilns had some
powder which they thought to be re-
fuse so when their work was over, on
Saturday, they set about trying it. A
can containing about 90 lbs of the ex-
plosive was taken out to be tested.
Some of the powder was laid on the
ground near the can and ignited. It
went off with a flash that extended to
the can and set fire to the great bulk of
powder in it. Of course there was not
much of an explosion, for the stuff was
not confined, but with a mighty puff
it belched fire in all directions. Young
McMullen was unfortunately near
enough to be caught and the flames
completely enveloped him. His head,
arms and the upper part of his body
being borribly burned ; at first it was
thought fatally, but by careful nursing
the doctor entertains hopes of his recov-
ery.
FrANK MokLe’s Tragic DEATH.—
On last Thursday morning Frank Mo-
kle, a son of Mr. Wm. Mokle, of Lemont,
met with a most tragic death while at
hie work in the Pennsylvania rail-road
shops in Altoona. He was a boiler
maker’s helper and was at work in the
round house when the accident, that
snuffed out his life, occurred. With
some other men he was engaged in put-
ting an engine tender on its wheels
when his head was caught and crushed
between the tender and a trestle,
His remains were taken to his father’s
homein Lemont and funeral services
were held on Sunday morning. So
large was the attendance at the funeral
that the services, that were to have been
held in the Evangelical church, had to
be held in the Presbyterian. Rev. C. H.
Goodling, of Centre Hall, delivered the
sermon. A wife and a two week’s old
babe mourn the loss of a devoted hus-
band and father.

people will doubtless be gratified to learn
of its introduction.
