says “James Lee, who lives just beyond
the southern limits of town bored down
40 feet the other day and struck valua-
ble iron ore, at 58 feet he encountered a
stream of water, at 68 feet he found a
cave.”
| Tre AwruL CRIME OF A BruTE
, FarrER.—This community was shock-
| ed, last Saturday, when the evidence of
| the most fiendish and incomprebensible
cruelty of parents was brought to light
in a little story and a balf shack, located
‘on the tack road to Pleasant Gap and
"about one mile east of Axe Mann. There
| the Bellefonte police found a nine year
old boy in a condition that beggars de-
scription. He was naked, emaciated
for want of food, battered. bleeding and
maimed. The most horrible evidences
of the brutal passions of parents, whose
cruelty admits of no comparison, for
brutes die for their young.
For nearly a year residents, in the
vicinity of the home of Milton Harman,
had been convinced that he was abus-
ing his nine year old boy, but as he is a
vindictive man they were afraid to rep-
rimand him or report him to the au-
thorities. It was a frequent occurrence
for passers by to see the father knock the
boy over with anything he could get his
hands on and the continued bruised con-
dition of the poor child’s body told only
too sad a tale of the awful abuse it re-
ceived. The reason why all the spleen
of the father was vented on this one
child is said to be because it was born
before his marriage to Mrs. Harman,
who 1s supposed to have been a Gypsy.
The boy had been given to a man
named Cyrus Spangler, of Lykens, Pa.,
who had adopted it, but upon the death
of his wife he returned the child to its
parents with the understand that he was
to provide for its clothing until it was of
age. This was in October, 1892. Since
that time the cruelty has been kept up.
It found its culmination last Friday,
when the case was reported to District
Attorney Singer. He immediately took
steps to investigate the matter and with
officers from here went out to find out if
there was any truth 1n the reports. Upon
arriving at the house Harman told
him that the boy had been sent back to
Dauphin county ard was not there. On
returning to town, however, they re-
ceived information to the effect that
Harman had not been away from home
and consequently could not have driven
the child to Lewistown to take the train,
as he alleged to toe officers, who then
| concluded that it was either dead or
concealed somewhere.
THE ARREST.
A warrant was procured for the arrest
of the parents and armed with the same
officers - Montgomery, Gares and Foulk
went back on Saturday morning. Upon
their arrival Harman, who was at work
in his blacksmith shop, claimed that his
wife was away visiting and that there
was no one in the house, but the officers
heard a noise inside and after gaining
an entrance the warrant was read to the
man and woman and the search began.
The sight that met the eyes of the po-
lice was one not soon to be forgutten.
Filth and stenches of intolerable kinds
made their duty a hard one to perform.
There isn’t a single chair in the house, a
three legged stool comes nearest to it. Old
boxes are used to sit on and the other
furnishing of the downstairs room was
a rusty stove, a dirty cradle with a
straw tick in the bottom of it, on which
a six months old babe rested without
pillow or covering, a broken down bed-
stead, part of a sink and an old rack of
a bureau, all bespattered with grease
and filth. These were the comforts of
that home. Under the bed was the
oldest child, a boy, vainly hissing the
family dog to attack the officers.
THE BOY FOUND.
The man and woman having been
secured they were forced to divulge the
whereabouts of the boy. She directed
the searchers to an upstairs room. They
could hardly ascend the steps for the
foul odor that seemed to eminate from
all quarters and when the landing was
reached they saw nothing but the rags
and bits of harness scattered about over
the floor. Through the half open door
they saw two beds in the next room and
directed their search in that one. There
upon one of the dirty beds, with noth-
ing to cover his nakedness but the- tat-
tered remnant of a cotton shirt, lay the
child, more dead than alive, both hands
tied to his back and in a condition
which were we to tell you of it you
would turn from this columu in revolt.
The child looked half starved and on a
stand by the bed wae a crust of bread
smeared with molasses, but just far
enough away that it was out of reach.
BROUGHT TO JAIL.
The police were afraid to move it at
first but Dr. Hoy assured them that
there would be no more dangerin bring-
ing it to Bellefonte than in leaving it
there in the filth, so father, mother, the
four children, who were all nearly nak-
ed and so dirty that their color, wheth-
| er black or white, couldnt be told, and
| officers were all loaded into a wagon and
brought to jail. The four little child-
ren could not be left at home because
they were too young so they were taken
to jail with the parents and staid there
until Monday morning, when the poor
overseers of Spring township took them
i away.
The hearing was held before Justice
Linn, on Saturday afternoon, and the
child was the only evidence needful to
commit the fiends for trial. The case
was to have come up at this term of
court, but the condition of the boy
would not admit of his appearance at
court and the case was postponed until
the April term.
THE BOY'S CONDITION.
When put in evidence at the bearing
: little George Harman presented a de-
plorable condition. Covered from head
Ito foot with a scurvy coating he looked
as though he had not been washed for
years. In his matted, unkempt hair ver-
min had made a nest for dear knows
how long. Sores, some of them festering,
others clotted with dry blood, were
covering every portion of his body and
limbs. His face was battered and scarred,
a portion of his upper lip gone and his
front teeth all knocked loose ; the lobe
of his left ear had beer cut off last fall
by acorn knife, thrown at him by his
raging tather. His arms and body were
one perfect mass of sores, some of them
as large asthe bottom of a tin cup,
others smaller, but the strange white
appearance of these sores led to the con-
clusion that the child has very little
blood in its body, for when washed off
the wounds were perfectly white. The
legs seemed battered to an unrecogniz-
able mass of semi-rotten flesh. The
left one is festering all along and both
knees are swollen to twice their natural
size, but it remained for the left groin
to disclose the most hellish of all the
brutality that the child must have suf-
fered, for where the left leg joins the
body it was rent and torn as if some
monster had tried to tear the child limb
from limb. In truth the whole sight
would move the strongest heart to tears
of compassion ! for that suffering and
maimed little creature, who seemed to
bear it all with patience, but alas, it
seemed more because of fear of worse
treatment if he should cry out. It
would have taken but a spark to kindle
the furor of those who witnessed the
scene to that point when the lives of
Harman and his wife would have been
taken by the angry mob. Indeed the
was much talk of lynching and had
there but been a leader there would have
been hundreds to follow and drag them
from the jail to any torment that could
have been devised. :
Little George Harman was a bright
well clothed boy when he returned from
Lykens and he regularly attended the
Axe Mann school. His teacher, Miss
| Jennie Twitmyer, considered him a
bright child and said he was very cour-
teous and well behaved, but as time
went on his clothes became ragged and
he began to look stupid and pinched.
He would go to school in the morning
and not return home for dinner, though
he carried none with bim. His half
naked condition told only too plainly
that the money Mr. Spangler was send-
ing him for clothing, from Lykens, was
being used for other purposes and oft
times his teacher would share her din-
ner with the wretched, half starved
child. This went on for a few weeks
then he did not) return to school any
more.
It is said that Dr. Emerick, of Centre
Hall, was in attendance upon the family
and we can’t conceive why he didn’t
report the case long ago, since he must
have known of it.
ILLITERATE PARENTS.
Harman and his wife were frightful
looking] things when taken to jail, as
were the other children, None of them
had enough clothing to cover their
nakedness and dirty was no name for the
condition they were in. Sheriff Condo
made them all wash and then burned
their clothes which were alive with
vermin and gave them clean ones to put
on, and when once washed up they did
not look so repulsive. ;
Both parents are of German extrac-
tion. Harman being 28 years of age,
was born in Berrysburg, Pa. Heisa
big strong man, a blacksmith by trade
and has lived at Paddy mountain tun-
nel, where he worked on a lumber job
for Meck & Naugle, Linden Hall, and
lately near the home of Joseph Ross
near Pleasant Gap. Recently he had
been working at one of the Valentine
Iron Co’s., mines and though indus-
trous he was apparently always poverty
stricken. This was perhaps caused by
the slovenly wife, whose name was
Mary Youndt, before marriage, and
whose chief accomplishment is to smoke
a dirty black pipe. About the premises
can be seen six pet rabbits, some chick-
ens, a dog and two skeletons that pass
for a horse and heifer respectively.
Both Harman and his wife are alike
to blame for the child’s condition as it
implicates them both. Itis now being.
comfortably cared for at the Almshouse,
where thousands of people have visited
it since Saturday.

BELLEFONTE BIDDING FOR A STREET
CAR MANUFACTORY. —For several weeks
there had been talk of the possible loca-
tion of a large manufacturing industry
at this place, one that would employ
several hundred skilled operatives, but
the nature of which could not be found
out until last Monday night, when a
special meeting of the Board of Trade
was convened in the Court house to take
action towards holding out inducements
whieh it was thought would procure
the Lamokin Street Car Manufacturing
Company for Bellefonte.
The history of the movement to secure
the location of this industry at this place
is about as follows: At the term of last
November court,when the case of Philip
Collins vs. the Bellefonte Central Rail-
road was on trial a Mr. Cochian, of
Chester, was subpeenaed as a witness. It
was his first visit to Bellefonte and while
he was not busy in court he took time
to look about the town and of course
was struck with its superior location as
a manufacturing centre. He inquired
as to the prices of lumber, coal and
iron here, and when he made known the
fact that he was the manager of the
Lamokin Electric Street Car Mf’g. Co.
of Chester, his inquiries were cheerfully
answered. At the same time it became
known that his company was looking
around fer a new location, because the
one it now occupies is too small for its
business and exceedingly unheaithful,
gince it is in a malarial district. He
was driven about the town and many
desirable sites were shown, but the one
that pleased him most was the old car
shops. There he found plenty of build-
ings, plenty of room and unsurpassed
water supply. So well pleased was he
with the site that he returned to Chester
and brought several of the Directors of
company here to look at it. They were
likewise favorably impressed and in or-
der tuo come to some conclusion they
asked what our people would do in the
event of their locating here.
At the Board of Trade meeting Mon-
evening General Beaver gave the fol-
lowing resume of the situation. He
stated that the Lamokin Co. is at pres-
ent doing business near Chester, with
stock and appliances valued at $134,-
000 ; it manufactures electric street cars
and has a monopoly of the business by
virtue ot a number of patents which it
bolds on motor trucks and car construc-
tion ; its present quarters are too small
and it must move to a place where it can
keep up with its orders and manufacture
at least sixty cars per month ; it will in-
crease its capital to $250,000 upon locat-
ing in a new quarter and will employ
more than two hundred skilled opera-
tives, mostly cabinet makers, iron work-
ers, electricians and wood workers; it
has orders ahead for a year and must be
in operation by the first of March ; it
does not want to be boosted by our peo-
ple, as it is a flourishing, well establish-
ed business and needs no support out-
side of a desirable location, for it claims
to be able to compete with the world.
Now the foregoing will give our read-
ers an idea of what the Lamokin Elec.
tric Street Car M'f’g. Co., is and you
cannot but come to the conclusion that
it would be a most desirable industry
for any community, for it will bring
hundreds of men, who will be paid high
salaries, into our midst and men of a
high type of citizenship. Any of you
who have ridden in a modern street car,
know that only the finest kind of ma-
terial and workmanship enter into their
construction and inasmuch as the elec-
tric street railway business is merely in
its infancy it will readily be seen that
such an establishment, controlling un-
deniably valuable patents, will perhaps
grow to an enormous size.
Does Bellefonte want it? that is the
question. Already Lima, Ohio, has of-
fered exemption from taxes for ten years,
$10,000 cash bonus, free buildings and
free grounds. Newark, with ‘railroad
facilities and location perhaps surpass-
ing those of any other American city,
has offered twelve acres of ground val-
ued at $1000 per acre. Williamsport
and Harrisburg have both offered sites
and lastly, Bellefonte was promised very
favorable consideration if it would re-
pair the car shops dam, put a new floor
in the erecting shops and erect an extra
frame building and exempt the company
from taxation for a period of five years,
all of which was estimated and could be
done for $5000, and the amount is now
about raised.
This firm will not come here asking
the people to take its stock nor help it
in any way, because it intends buying
the carshops plant, the owners of which,
have made such a sacrifice in the price
they offered it for, that they felt justified
1n asking our citizens to make the need-
ful repairs required by the Co. None
of the subscriptions are to be paid unless
the Lamokin Co. actually purchases
the shops and locates its plant hare. Tt
will be known very soon whether|Belle-
fonte is to get the industry or not.
Manager Cochran is very favorable
to Bellefonte for in it he says he recog-
nizes superior advantages from the fol-
lowing stand points : healthful location,
proximity and cheapness of iron, coal
and wood, exceptional schools and mag-
nificent water supply.
——Tyrone has only two applicants
for the postmastership of that place.
——The Catholic church and parson-
age at Coalport, Clearfield county,
burned to the ground last Saturday.
Milton council has decided to
pay firemen a salary of fifty cents an
hour while in actual service and an an-
nual salary of ten dollars per year.
——W. A. Sickle, of Bristol, Pa., is
now conducting Else's drug store in
Snow Shoe, which was until recently
under the supervision of Mr. H.C.
Bouse, of Tyrone.
——Ninety-one candidates for certif-
icates as'Mine Bosses in the eighth and
tenth Pennsylvania districts appeared
for the examination held in Philipsburg
last Thursday and Friday.
——Last season every person who
had their sale bills printed at this office
whad a good sale ; plenty of people and
good prices for all articles. The reason
was that our paper is so much better
than that of other offices that it lasts
longer when posted up, our ‘Sale Regis-
ter” in the WATCHMAN]is read by every
one, and in short whenever people see
a “WATCHMAN print’ sale bill they
know where to go to a good sale. Get
your work done here it will pay in the
end.
——The civil service examination for
clerks or carriers at the Bellefonte post-
office will be held on Saturday, Feb.
10th, at eleven o'clock. Three applica-
tions for carriers, viz: James Dolan and
S. E. Hepburn, of Bellefonte, and John
Rowland, of Benore, are on the list, while
Miss Carrie Atwood and Willis Wood-
ring, of this place, and Thos. O. Lytle,
of Loveville, are applicants for creden-
tials for clerkship. The last day for
filing applications was last Monday.
——The tenant house on the farm of
M. P. Weaver, near Axe Mann, caught
fire last Saturday evening and burned to
the ground. It was occupied by Wil-
liam Dearmitt and family and as the
children were in bed at the time they
were rescued only after they bad nar-
rowly escaped burning. The house took
fire in the garret, from a defective flue,
and when the father was attracted up
stairs by a strange crackling noise he
was just in time to save his children, as
the flames were already licking up the
bed in which they were sleeping.

A Sick SwiNpLER Works Two
BELLEFONTE MERCHANTS.—On Tues-
day of last week a fine looking stranger
appeared in Belletcnte and expressed his
desire to locate hear. In his search for
a desirable house he was directed to
George T. Bush, who gladly took him
out to the southern part of town and
showed him a number of good houses in
that-locality. He selected one, that ap-
parently suited him, and asked Mr.
Bush to have some necessary repairs
made. A carpenter was hunted up and
the work begun at once.
With the house secured the stranger,
who gave his name as Thomas Smith,
asked to be taken to a hardware store
where he could purchase a stove and
some tinware. Mr. Bush took him to
W. T. Twitmyer's store in the Arcade
and there he selected a range and some
kitchen utensils. He paid for them
with a check for $62,00, on an Elmira,
N. Y. bank. His bill was $54,00 and
received the change in cash. Together
with Mr. Twitmyer he took his pur-
chases to the house and set the stove up
to await his family’s arrival. But they
never came,
Mr. Twitmyer returned to his place
of business and sent the check to bank
to have it entered to his credit, but alas,
on Thursday it came back from Elmira
with the information that no such a
man as he who had signed that check
had an account at that bank. Of course
Messrs Twitmyer and Bush kept quiet
about the way they were fleeced, but it
leaked out when chief of police, H. H.
Montgomery, on Thursday, received a
letter from J. C. Culp, a Milton hard-
ware man, warning him to be on the
lookout for a stranger who had tried,
unsuccessfully, to work that town.
Smith played a good game and suc-
ceeded in duping our merchants.
