A Question That Must Be Determined.
We see it stated, by one or two of
our Philadelphia exchanges, that the
so-called ‘‘Pennsylvania Democracy,”
that proposed to test the legality of the
late Democratic State convention, has
given up the idea of carrying the mat
ter to court. This determination on
the part of these political sore-heads, is,
we presume, in consequence of the
action of both the Democratic and Re-
publican organizations in placing their
candidates in the field by nomination
papers, as well as by party conventions,
thus anticipating any legal decision
that might be made. Under the cir-
cumstances, these Republican aiders
feel that if they would win, they would
win nothing but an opinion, as both
the regular candidates would be in the
field legally under any decision, and
their efforts to make trouble, in this
way, for the Democrats of the State,
would be work for nothing.
But whether they drop the question
of the legality of the late party conven-
tions, matters nothing now, as the
action of the two state chairman in
putting their respective candidates in
nomination by both methods, will re-
quire a decision by the court to deter-
mine which of the two nominations are
legal, so that tickets can be printed cor-
rectly.
To stop now would be to threw the
responsibility of determining what head
the candidates names should be printed
under, upon the County Commissioners
of the different counties, and in some
counties they would appear one way
andin others another.
To secure uniformity in the tickets
this matter must be legally decided,
and we hope that chairmen WricHT
and GILKENsON will see that this is
done at as early a date as possible.
As to what that decision will be the
WarcamaN has not the least doubt. It
will be that the conveations were prop-
erly constituted, and that the names of
Mr, Hancock and Mr. Grow shall be
printed on the ticket under their re-
spective party appellations. It will
leave to the Prohihitionists, the Peo-
ples-Labor party and the “Pennsyl-
vania Democracy, the pleasure of mix-
ing their candidates up in one column
under the head of “by nomination pa-
pers” and of explaining to the voter,
which is which, when he comes to cast
his ballot. =

They Won't Be Heeded.
The American Protective Tariff
League, an organization intended to
assist in making tariff robbery a per.
petual infliction upon the American
people, is sending around blank peti-
tionsto be signed and sent to Congress
as remonstrances against the passage
of the WiLson bill. These protests
have to be “worked up,” which in
many instances is done by interested
beneficiaries of tariff spoliation com-
pelling their employes to sign them,
under penalty of discharge if they re
fuse to do it.
Many signatures are got in this way,
the New York Zvribune boasting that
1,250,000 names have been secured on
these cooked up petitions. But they
will receive but little heed from a Dem-
ocratic Congress which was instructed !
by more than 5,000,000 votes to go
ahead with the work of tariff reform,
A Foolish Paper.
What a foolish paper the Sunbury
American endeavors to make itself ap-
pear to be by its effort to convince
Congressman WOLVERTON that he
ought to vote against the WiLson
tarift bill,
This is foolish for a number of rea-
80DS.
In the first place, Congressman WoL-
VERTON is a Democratic representative
and the Wirson biil is a Democratic
measure,
Secondly, the very large majority of
the voters of his district who elected
him, at an election in which the issue
was directly on the question of tariff
reform, enjoined upon him to support
a tariff measure that would reform the
abuses of the McKINLEY tariff, and the
WiLson bill is intended to do that.
Thirdly, as a man of good sense he
understands very well that all this
clatter against a Democratic tarift is
merely a re-echo of the Republican op-
position to tariff reform which had its
chance at the ballot box, at the time of
his election, and was overwhelmingly
outvoted.
For these reasons the Sunbury Amer-
ican is very foolish in advising Con-
gressman WOLVERTON to vote against
the Wirson tariff bill. Bat it is a
Republican paper, and all of them are
a little oft at this time.
Congress Is Truly Informed.
The President has placed before
Congress all the papers and dispatches
relating to the Hawaiian affair as fast
as they have been received, or were
available for transmission to that body.
He bas nothing to withhold, and no
reason or inclination to conceal any-
thing he has done in that matter.
Everything that has been developed
shows that his purpose was to preven;
this government from being a party to
an unjustifiable act in helping to over-
throw another government towards
which it bad no reason to be unfriend-
ly, and possibly to avoid its becoming
liable for indemnity.
Among the latest papers sent by the
President to Congress was a communi-
cation from the Hawaiian provisional
President to the American minister,
which was characterized by insolence
to our government and insult to its
chief magistrate. Of course this was
highly pleasing to the Republican
members of Congress. They are bound
to back up a bad business which was
commenced in the Harrison adminis-
tration by the complicity of minister
Stevens in the plot that overturned
the established authority in Hawaii,
recognized by this government, and by
all the world, as the legitimate author-
ity at the time when the American
minister took a leading part in the
conspiracy that overthrowed it.
A Gang of Outlaws,
The pottery manufacturers are try-
ing a very impudent blaff in their plan
of opposition to Demccratic tariff re-
form. The combine that has a monop
oly of this line of industry has made
a cut of 10 per cent in the wages of its
workmen as a consequence, 80 alleged
of the threatened reduction of the tar-
iff, and gives warning of another cut
of 20 per cent. “in case the WiLson
bill becomes a law.”
It is needless to say that there is no
proper occasion for these wage reduc-
tions, which are intended only as a
menace to scare Congress from its in-
tention to reduce the tariff under
which this combine has been able to
practice its monopoly.
That this imprudent and overbear-
ing combination of industrial conspira-
tors does not require a reduction of the
tariff to ‘‘necessitate’” a reduction of
their workmen’s wages, is shown by
the fact that three months after the
McKiniey bill gave them protection
to the full extent of their unreasonable
demands, they made a reduction of 22
per cent in wages, which led to a long
and costly strike.
Such a gang, which practices extor-
tion on their workmen as well as upon
the public that is compelled to use
their wares, should be regarded and
treated as outlaws.
Dr. Talmage Means It.
Brookryn, N. Y., January 23.—
The Rev. Dr. Talmage gave out the
following statement to-day :
“My resignation is positive. I will
ask the presbytery at the spring meet-
ing to dissolve my pastorial relations.
“I hope no effort will be made to re-
tain me. 1 have expended all the ner-
vous energy I have to spare on finan-
cial questions.
“Fighting two great fires bas taken
all my surplus forces. I must keep
my health for preaching the gospel.
“I am in communication with no
other church and have no plans for the
future.”
The doctor said that he did not have
the slightest imputation against Mr.
Wood, the former treasurer of the tab-
ernacle, who had been a faithful work-
er in the church for many years,

The Big Fight Settled in Three Rounds.
-
Two Thousand Spectators See Corbett Knock
the English Champion Silly in Just Nine Min"
utes. The Fight not Interfered with.
The great prize fight beteen James
J. Corbett, the American champion,
and Charles Mitchell, the Englishman,
which has been exciting sporting cir-
cles for months took place in an arena,
erected on the Jacksonville, Florida,
fair grounds at one o’clock yesterday
afternoon. Two thousand people
cheered when the contestants entered
the ring, little expecting that their
sport would be over so soon.
Governor Mitchell was defeated, at
the last moment, in his efforts to stop
the fight as the Duval Athletic club
had been granted an injunction res-
training the troops, that had been
massed at Jacksonville, from interfer-
ence.
Charley Mitchell looked thin and in
the pink of condition, and said before
the fight.
“Corbett may whip me,” but if he
does he certainly will be aware of
the fact that he was fighting.”
There was not an ounce of useless
flesh on Mitchell, and he was then
down to about 172 pounds and his mus-
cles were standing out on him like
whip cords. His wind was excellent,
and his closest friends expected that he
would win beyond a doubt.
The betting was light, with the odds
ranging between two and three to one
in favor of Corbett, but the betting fra-
ternity seemed inclived to hold on to
their money.
James J. Corbett was feeling good,
but was a trifle impatient and said be-
fore entering the ring: “I stopped
training two days ago, and am quietly
resting until I am called upon by the
Duval Athletic club, but this suspense
is worse than fighting.
I am ready to enter the ring and am
in first class condition. Heentered the
rieg at 190 pounds and was as hard as
a roek.”
The rounds in detail were as fol
lows :
1s Rounn.—Men shake hands, fight
begins ; 2:23 Corbett leads with left on
Mitchells chin, they clinch and ex-
change body blows, Jim reaches
Charley's left eye heavily and round
ends.
28p Rounp.—A wild charge, and
clinch. Jim upper cuts Mitchell as
they come together. The English-
man lands hard and gets a bumper on
the head in return that staggers him.
A sharp rally with Corbett having all
the best of it. Mitchell gets in two
blows on Corbett’s neck and is knocked
down twice in return.
3rp Rouxp. — Mitchell appeared-
groggy, Jim rushed at him landing
both right and left heavily on Char-
ley’s neck. Charley went down and
took the limit in coming up. Corbett
then rushed at him like a tiger, Mitch-
ell clinched and Jim threw him off
flooring him with a stiff blow in the
face. Again be took the limit in ris-
ing and when he advanced toward Cor-
bett the latter swung his right with
deadly effect on the Englishman’s nose.
Mitchell reeled and fell on his face.
Mitchell did not come up again and
the referee awarded Corbett the fight
and the championship of the world,
Mitchell's face was covered with blood
and he was carried to his cornerin a
helpless condition. = He had been
knocked out in exactly 9 minutes.
Mitchell’s seconds were, Jim Hall,
Pony Moore, Tom Allen and Steve
O'Donnell, Bat Masterson was time
keeper. .
Corbett’s seconds were John Don-
aldson, Billy Delaney, Jack Demp-
sey and Wm. McMillen. His ti me
keeper was Ted Foley.

Against the Income Tax.
WasniNGTON, January 24.—The
Democratic members of the New York
delegation in the house held a confer-
ence this afternoon. The delegation
passed a resolution pledging themselves
by every parliamentary means within
their power to prevent the income tax
men from having an opportunity to of- |
fer the income tax bill as an amend-
ment tothe Wilson bill. This course
would be pursued :until they received
satisfactory assurance that no such at-
tempt would be allowed on the part of
the income tax men, populists or
others.
A New Road Opened.
WiLkEsBARRE, Pa., January 23.—
The first passenger train, a special, over
the Wilkesbarre and Eastern railroad,
arrived at the station here on the west
side this afternoon. On board of this
train were C. D. McKelvey, general
superintendent of bridges, of Strouds-
burg; C. H. Corcoran, road master;
Frank Zoller, dispatcher, and a num-
ber of friende. This line runs to New
York via Stroudsburg, and ie 166 miles
from here to that city.
Robin-Hood-Opera Company.
Central Railroad of Pennsylvania to Provide a
Special Excursion.
A genuinely good thing is offered
theatre goers on Tuesday evening, Jan.
30th, at the Lycoming Opera House,
Williamsport, when Barnabee, Karl
and MacDonald's “Robin Hood”
opera company will appear for one
performance. The organization is
such as only Barnabee, Karl and Mac
Donald have the artistic faith to send
on the road. In this day of cheap
| companies, when managers in general
are studying how to reduce expenses
even at the expense of performances, it
is gratifying to note that the most suc-
cessful opera comique managers in
America have the courage of their con-
victions and organize for the road a
company comprising sixty high class
artists, a superb cast of principals, a
chorus of thirty-five fine voices, and a
special operatic orchestra ; and furnish
it with elaborate special scenery and
costuming. This is what DBarnabee,
Karl and MacDonald have done for
the Robin Hood company, and they
are being rewarded by overflowing
houses everywhere. ‘Robin Hood”
has broken all records of American
opera and even made a close contest
for honors with the most popular of
light operas of European authorship,
Emiacent musical authorities declare
that it will endure so long as opera
comique lasts, and be classed with
such imperishable works as “Carmen,”
“Bohemian Girl” “Martha,” “Fra
Diavalo,” ete. This position seems to
be well taken, Mr. Smith has carefully
preserved the romantic flavor attaching
to the amiable robbers of Sherwood
Forest, has given them the brightest of
character painting, and has coherently
put together so many of the lively in-
cidents connected #ith them that the
book stands a self established classic.
Mr. DeKovens music contains more of
genuine melody, more of harmonious
orchestration and more of humorous
whimsicality than have been express-
ed in a composer's score since comic
opera writing was first undertaken in
America.
The Central Railroad of Penna. in
order to give to patrons in Bellefonte
and those living along the line an op-
portunity to enjoy this charming
opera will run a special train to Wil-
liamsport and return Tuesday evening ;
leaving Bellefonte at 5.15 and return-
ing at a suitable hour aiter the play.
The fare will be one way rate for the
round trip,
One hundred of the choicest seats
have been reserved and can be pro-
cured at the Bellefonte station. The
ticket agent also has a diagram of the
opera house to enable patrons to select
chairs to their liking. Those desiring
reserved seats should engage them
promptly as all unsold tickets will be
returned Monday evening. Jan. 20th.
It is hoped that the efforts of the
Central Officials to make the new line
attractive to the people of Bellefonte
and Nittany Valley will meet with a
generous response from our citizens.
Lay aside business for a few short
hours ; take a trip over Bellefonte’s
“Royal Blue Line” and enjoy a first
class entertainment. :
#0, man dead set for money, O toiler in the
e,
Slip off and get some honey that'll sweeten up
your life.”
Nearly 2,000 Men Went to Work.
HAarRrIsBURG, Jan. 23.—Nearly 2,000
men went to work at the Pennsylvania
Steel works to-day, and there is great
rejoicing at Steelton. Stacks that have
been smokeless since the first of the
year are sending their black clouds
skyward, and the hum of machinery is
sweet music to the ears of the army of
workmen. Orders now in will keep
the big plant running at least ten days.
Lillian Married Again.
New York, Jan. 21—Miss Lillian
Russell, the comic opera queen, was
married this morning at 11 o’clock to
Mr. John Chatterton, known on the
stage as Signor Perugint. The ceremony
was performed by Judge Moller, of Ho-
boken, N. J. A dinner was given to-
night at Mrs. Chatterton’s residence.
During the day Mr. and Mrs. Chatter-
ton had many callers, who came to ten-
der their congratulations.

nized on Tuesday. The ceremony was per-
formed at the Methodist parsonage in
Stormstown, Rev. A. P. Wharton, offi-
ciating. Immediately after the ceremony
they left for a trip to Philadelphia.
A GreAT HUNTER.-—-Mr. George
‘Weaver, of Romola, one of the WATCH.
MAN'S valued subscribers was in town
last week and told us of some of the
game he has killed within the past year.
He has trapped and shot this season
seven catamounts, five in Clinton county
and two in Centre : two bears, two deer,
two coons and two black skunks. He
was in Lock Haven, and secured his
bounty for killing the catamounts.
One of the ‘‘cats” was over four
feet long and is said to be one of the
largest of that species of animal shot in
Clinton county. The animals were
caplurad in the wilds near Hays station
on the Beech Creek railroad.
The Curwensville Presbyterians
have called Rev. David Craighead to

College and Harris townships are mak-
ing up a car load of provisions and
clothing which they intend shipping
to Pailadelphia, for distribution among
the poor people in the Kensington dis-
trict where so many are out of em-
ployment. Such acts of charity on the
part of country people who see so lit-
tle of the real suffering from povert y,
is to be commended and we hope every
district in the county will be moved to
similar charitable work. The car will
be shipped on Feb. 2ad.
A ProMiNeNT MAN Digs. — The
death of J. C. Motz Esq., which oc-
curred at his home, near Woodward,
last Thursday morning, removes from
that community a man who had at-
tained a degree of prominence in the
county. He was a well known lumber
operator and a leader in the Evangeli-
cal church. His demise, in his 61st
year, was a release from a long period
of suffering from rheumatic troubles.
A widow and three sons survive to
mourn his loss. Funeral services were
held on Sunday.
——Every tradesman bas some special
branch of his work, which he prefers to
the exclusion of all others, and conse-
quently we daily find men who, while
they have mastered their trade, are
neverthless more proficient in one line
of it than in another. Such must be the
case with Mr. Jacob Kast, the jolly
butcher who manages Mattern’s
slaughter house up Buffalo Run. He is
said to be an excellent butcher, yet his
fort is sausages and puddings and he de-
lights in making them. We know
whereof we speak because we have been
fortunate in sampling his work many
times.
——The marriage of Miss Elizaleth
Shortlidge and Mr. John Walger,
which was solemnized at the home of
the bride’s parents, on Thomas street,
Monday evening, was a very quiet af-
fair. Only a few intimate friends and
relatives were present at the ceremony
that was performed by the Rev. Dr,
Laurie, of the Presbyterian church.
The bride, a daughter of Mr. and Mus.
‘William Shortlidge, is well and fav-
orably known throughout the com mu-
nity. ‘While the groom, whose home is
in Kennett Square, Chester Co., has been
for a number of years book-keeper for
the firm of MecCalmont and Co. We
extend our kindest good wishes for their
happiness and prosperity.

ARE THEY THE SAME MEN ?-Two
scamps named Henry Shaw and Hiram
Bates are awaiting trial in Philadelphia
for an attempt to bunco a retired mer-
chant of that city by the same methods
that were tried on Mr. Michael Grove,
of Lemont, a couple of years ago. Since
the attempt to rob Mr. Grove was made,
we have noticed, through our exchanges,
a number of cases of the same kind as
occurring in diff erent parts of the State,
some of which were entirely successful.
Up to the time of the captura in Phila-
delphia the rascals avoided arrest in
every instance, and we would not be a
particle suprised if the two men now in
limbo in that city, were the pair, who
pretended to be Harrisburg bankers on
the look-out for a Centre county farm
| and so nearly got away with $3.000 of
Mr. Grove’s money.
Bertha Theime, both of Haltmoon. H.-
A LewisBURG ELoPEMENT. —Thurs-
day night Mark Halfpenny, a gentle-
man of high social relations and interes-
ted in the woolen mill at Lewisburg,
Union county, and having & wife and
family, eloped with Mrs. Alvin Ang-
stadt, the wife of a prominent tobacco-
nist. The couple met at Watsontown
and after taking supper bought tickets
and had their baggage checked for
ieveland, Ohio. Mr. Angstadt took
his wife’s trunk to the depot and bade
her good bye, believing that she intend-
ed visiting relatives at Bealsburg.
Halfpenny had often visited Angstadt’s
house and with the latter's wife the
three passed the evening playing cards,
Angstadt never having the slightest
suspicion that his wife was playing him
false. Angstadt is almost distracted
with grief and has telegraphad the chief
of police of Cleveland to arrest the cou-
ple when they call for their baggage. —
Lock Havea Democrat.
Mgrs. ANDREW GREGG'S DEATH.--
The death of Mrs. Mary Gregg, wife of
Mr. Andrew Gregg, of Potter township,
occurred at her home, on last Wednesday
evening, after a short illness with grip.
D eceased had been in poor health for
some time, but not until taken with the
grip, about a week before her demise,
did her condition became serious, and
then it was fatal. ;
She was well know throughout the
county and was a woman of 57 years of
age and was a leader in Methodism in
the community in which she lived.
Before marriage Ler name was Miss
Mary Smith, ot near Jacksonville, this
county, and her deeds of charity are
sacred monuments to her memory. A
husband and five children survive, their
names being ; Annie, Mary, Andrew,
John and James, the latter two living
at Lemont.
The funeral services were held on
Saturday at 2 o'clock and her remains
were laid to rest in the cemetery at
Centre Hall. The pall bearers were,
Austin Curtin, W. H. Everhart, J. J.
Shaffer, H. C. Reed, A.S. Grow and
Hugh Worrick.
LaAip To REST.—On Jan. 13th, the
angel of death entered the home of Prof.
G. H. Hubbard, of Snow Shoe, and
from that cheerful fireside took the
beautiful young wife, whose womanly
charms and noble qualities had won for
her the love and esteem of all who knew
her. During her sickness, which was
brief and severe, she never murmured,
but bore her sufferings with a cheerful
hope until the Reaper came and took her
to dwell in paradise.
Mrs. Fannie Hubbard was born near
Jersey Shore, Lycoming county, Pa.,
Jan. 6th, 1867, and was aged 27 years
anl 7 days. She was an at
tractive woman, healthy and robust,
and in the very bloom of young woman-
hood. She leaves a devoted husband, a
little daughter, loving parents, and a
large circle of near relatives, who deeply
mourn the loss of a favorite and loved
one. Why this bright, active, young
wife and mother should be called so
soon to join the unnumbered hosts, who
have crossed death’s river, we know
not,}yet we humbly bow to the will of
him who sees the end from the begin-
ning, and “who is too wise to err, and
too good to be unkind.” The good name
she has left behind will be to her
memory a crown of glory; and when
the glad earth smiles again in Spring-
time the bands of those who loved her
will strew the flowers of deep affection
upon her grave. She now sleeps in the
beautiful cemetery at Jersey Shore,
near the home of her childhood. *
GoLDEN EAGLE OFFICERS THROUGH -
out THE CouNTY.—Every castle of the
Knights!of the Golden Eagle through-
out the county has elected new officers
