TaEY ELOPED AND WERE CAUGHT.
— Last Saturday policeman Gares went
to the home of Thomas Rishel, in this
place. and upon & warrant sworn out
by Amos Redding, who has been work.
ing at Snow Shoe, arrested ‘Prof.”
Clarence Davis and Mrs. Ella Redding,
charging them with fornication, adul-
tery and conspiracy. The pair was
lodged in jail and held for a hearing. It
came off before Justice John B. Linn
Tuesday evening when the deserted hus-
band withdrew his suit and the parties |
were discharged, upon promise that
Davis was to leave the country and Mrs,
Redding return to her home.
During the hearing the lawyers got
mixed up in a very disagreeable con-
troversy which came very near ending
in blows and perhaps would have done
so had not Justice Linn given both of
them the sound lecture they so richly
deserved. Just what force these fel-
lows expect to make in their argumen-
tation by flinging personalities at one
another is hard to see.
District attorney Singer ordered the
re-arrest of both Davis and his mistress,
immediately upon their discharge, and is
now holding them as criminals against
the county. He proposes pushing their
trial and intends to make it bad business
for fellows to run oft with other men’s
wives, *
This so called “Prof,” Clarence Davis
is a one legged individual, who, were he
in possession of his lost member, would
pass, without any make up, for a French
dancing master. He is a tall man with
dark mustache and pointed chin whis-
kers and looks quite likea *‘Prof.” un-
der a high silk hat. Several years ago
he found his way into the Bald Eagle
valley where he made a living giving
magic lantern shows and it was near
Howard that he came very near drown-
ing one tims. It was in the Spring of
the year and the creek was a perfect
flood. The “Prof.” had an engagement
to show in Hublersburg one night and
was on his way from Eagleville to that
place, when he came to the Howard
bridge, in attempting to reach the ap-
proach to the bridge he got into deep
water and his horse, buggy and a little
boy, who was with him, were swept
down by the current. The boy and the
“Prof.” were rescued more, dead than
alive, but the horse and buggy, with the
magic lantern traps, went to a watery
grave.
When the unfortunate showman was
fished out of the flood he was taken to
the home of Jonathan Schenck Esq, one
of Howard's most reputable citizens,
who lived near by and there he stayed
until he got fixed up and started at kis
business again, But during his stay in
the Schenck home he fell in love with
Mrs. Amos Redding, a daughter of the
house who was living at home because
of some slight disruption with her hus-
band. After awhile, however, he start-
ed away on a tour and shortly after he
had gone Mrs. Redding disappeared and
was away some time. She returned
home and staid awhile, then went away
again, but not until the third trip was
she found living with the “Prof.”” He
came here last week and procured
boarding with the family of Thomas
Rishel, who lives near the poor house,
saying, at the time, that he expected his
wife soon. She followed about two
days later and they were happy as bugs
in a rug when policeman Gares nipped
their dreams of bliss in the bud. The
arrest followed and they are both in jai)
awaiting trial.
Bail has been offered Mrs. Redding
bat she won’t leave jail unless some-one
puts up for her “Prof.” too.
THE SALT Lick GAs AND Orn Co.—
Ata meeting held in Snow Shoe last
Friday for that purpose a party of gen-
tlemen organized a company to be
known as the Salt Lick Gas and Oil Co.
Officers were elected and the company
will soon issue eight hundred shares of
stock at $5 per share. The money re-
ceived by this sale will be used in sink-
ing three wells along the Susquehanna
river near Salt Lick, where ex-Repre-
sentative J. H. Holt thinks there is both
oil and natural gas. He is the origina-
tor of the new company and bases his
hopes of success on intormation gleaned
from an old diary kept by his father, in
which it is written that one time early
in the century old Mr. Holt, with some
men, undertook to drill a well in the
vicinity of Salt Lick. When they had
reached a certain depth a great fire
burst out of the hole, burning off the
drill rope, and burning the derrick also.
They lost their tools in the hole and
having no way to recover them the
work stopped. The fire burned from
the hole some time before it was smoth-
ered out.
Now Mr. J. H. Holt thinks it was
gas that had become ignited and caused
his father to abandon that work, so he
has great hope of finding either oil or
gas and the holes will be drilled to a
depth of 2500 feet for that purpose.
The officers of the new company
are: President, Hon. J. H. Holt ; Vice
President, Samuel Christ; Sec. and
Treas., M. Fredericks ; Directors, J udge
J. W. Smith, Sam’l Christ, M. K.
Kulp, J. H. Holt, T. B. Buddinger, |
Hon. W. W. Betts, Hon. W. E. Rit-|
ter, C. M. Bower and Ira C. MceClos.

——Farmsalong the line of the Cen-
tral R. R. of Pa., through Nittany val-
ley, seem to be in a particularly fertile
condition, An air of prosperity is
everywhere apparent and the prospects
for a good grain crop in the fall are
splendid. Some farmers are ploughing,
while others are busy with other neces-
sary work. One of the notable features
along the route of the railroad is the
great amount of the Hoy Keystone
fence in use. Inquiry as to the satisfac-
tion it is giving elicited nothing but the
highest praise.
Deate oF Mes. KLINGER—On Sun-
day, the 18th, Mrs. Mary Klinger,
widow of the late Jesse Klinger, died of
paralysis at her home on West High
street.
She was remarkably well and active
for a woman of her age, 79 years and 7
months, and on Thursday evening went
to bed in her usual health—without a
complaint. Friday morning her son-in-
law, Mr. George Marshall, was awak-
ened by her peculiar breathing and on
going to her room found her paralyzed
and unconscious, out of which she nev-
er recovered. Mrs. Klinger was an
excellent woman, kind cheerful and in-
dustrious, and her pastor Rev. M. O.
Noll, at the funeral services Tuesday
morning in the Reformed church, paid
# most pleasing tribute to her christian
character and quiet, useful lite.
Of her nine children, one son was
killed in the war; Laura, for many
years a valued and faithful employe of
this office, died some years ago; and the
others Mrs. Apne Coxe, Mrs. Jane
Marshall, Mrs. Mary Derstine, Mrs.
Margaret Harper, John, Jacob, and
William are all living in or near Belle-
fonte.
SQUIRE SAMUEL F. FosTER.—Una-
ble to rally from the wearing, wasting
effects of the grip, contracted early last
Fall, ‘Squire Samuel F. Foster, died at
his home on Water street, this place, be_
tween flve and six o’olock Thursday
morning. No complaint seemed to have
been suffered other than just the grad-
ual weakening which . resulted in
death. For years he had been a justice
of the peace in this borough and since
the death of the late Bartrim Galbraith,
has been court crier also. He was first
appointed a justice by Gov. Pattison
and was elected twice afterwards, all of
his three commissions having been
signed by a Democratic Governor. He
was a zealous Democrat and bore the re-
spect of all who knew him.
Samuel Foster was born in Lancaster
county in 1823. When a young man
he moved to Millroy and thence to this
place, where he has made his home ever
since. Oa Oct. 30th 1851, he married
Jane Steele, of Philadelpia, their union
having been blessed with two children,
Jane Porter Foster, Dec’d., and Edward,
who lives at home. Mrs. Foster died
three years ago. He was a member of
the Presbyterian church and of a kindly
temperament, a man who was always
willing to help his neighbors ard his
friends in whatever way it was possible
Heserved his party with fidelity in the ca-
pacity of county commissioner and when
his declining days came he had nothing
but an honorable life to look back over.
Funeral ~ervices will be held tomor-
row, Saturday, afternoon at half past
two o'clock.
CONFERENCE APPOINTMENTS, — The |
sessions of the Central Pennsylvania
Methodist conference closed in Harris- |
burg on Tuesday, with the reading of |
tbe appointments for the various dis-
tricts. Some changes were made in this |
district which come as a decided and |
unpleasant surprise to many of the,
churches. The lifting of Dr. B. B.
Hamlin, from the eldership, and the re- |
placing him by Dr. D. S. Monroe, when
he had only one year to serve un-
til he intended retiring from the pulpit,
is & proceeding the propriety of which is
not exactly clear to many of the church-
es, but we are confident that there is
some very good cause for the change,
else it would not have been made.
The appointments for the Altoona
district are:
Presiding Elder—D. S. Monroe.

nut Avenue, John W. Rue; Eight Avenue, J

Wm. A. Houck, who for five years
has been the pastor of the Methodist
church here will go to St. Paul’s M,
E. church, at Hazleton, one of the best
appointments in the conference. Dur-
ing bis work in Bellefonte Mr. Houck
has done much for christianity in
the town. Broad minded as he is in
his views he occupies a higher plain
than most of the co-workers in his
church, and it was through his liberal
ways that he was able to reach out and
draw about him, in a bond of friendship,
every churchman in this town. Itis
with regret that his congregation bids
‘him adieu, and the town feels that his
stay here has been profitable for it.
The following statistics regarding his
pastorate were compiled and read at the
last regular service he conducted here,
on Sunday night, March 10th.
During the past five years $7,500 have
been raised for improvements, the pay-
ment of church debts and the erection
of the Cpleville chapel. Ten years ago
the amount of money collected for mis-
sionary purposes was $120. Five years
ago, the amount collected was $460.
Last year $5618 were collected and this
year the money collected for all kinds of
missionary purposes will foot up almost
$750. Five years ago the church book
showed a total of 339 members. Dur-
ing Rev. Houck’s pastorate 245 new
members were added. During the same
time 170 members have either died or
been dismissed to other churches (six-
teen of which number went to Coleville
on the erection of the chapel at that
place) leaving a net roll of member-
ship at the present time of 414. Dur-
ing the past three years the Epworth
League and the Junior Epworth League,
the Woman’s Foreign Missionary So-
ciety and the Young Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society have been organ-
ized, giving four new arms for church
work. During Mr. Houck’s pastorate
he attended 101 funerals, all either
members of his church or members o
families whose heads were Methodists.
CounciL Ar Work.—Council met in
regular session on Monday evening and
it was very late when the last business
had been finished aud adjournment or-
dered. Secretary H. C. Quigley, of the
Board of Health, submitted the rules
and regulations of that body for approv-
al, Henry Wetzel Esq, was chosen
borough engineer at a salary of 40 cts
per hour for all services. The salaries
"of policemen were fixed at $35 per
month and the Sup’t of the water works
was retained at the former rate. Per-
missions were granted for a number of
private improvements, which touch pub-
lic property, and the Central railroad of
Pa, was charged $100 per annum for
water rent. Other business of a routine
nature ended the sitting.
——-Clearfield Episcopalians will be
gin building a new church on April 1st
-—- Suits made to order at from $15
to $18. All new spring goods, at
Montgomery & Co’s., tailcrs.
——The next session of the Central
Pennsylvania Methodist conference will
meet in Tyrone, in March, 1895.
——Miss Graham, the milliner, de-
parted for Philadelphia and New York
on Wednesday morning and will not re-
turn much before April 1st. While
away she will study with the leading
milliners in the city and select a fine
stock of Spring and Summer gocds for
her growing trade here.
—— Five hundred Altoona laboring-
men marched along the line of the new
railroad, on Tuesday, and drove all the
ltalians employed away from their
work: The fight was caused by the
foreigners having offered to work for
75cts a day The Americans did not
injure person or property but their de-
termined demeanor was evidence that
they would not tolerate such an outrage
on the rights of the honest toiler.
——The idea advanced by Gen.
Beaver, at a meeting of Council Mon-
day night, that it is advisable to make
the suburban streets of this place as fine
as possible, isa very good one and
should be carried out. If all the new
streets of the town were put in first class
condition there would be some induce-
ment for prospective builders to locate
on them, then too they would afford ex-
cellent thoroughfares for pleasure
drives.
A CHANCE ror ALL.—The Keystone
suspension fence advertisement, in an-
other column of the paper, is well worth
looking up, as it affords an opportunity
for you to make a thousand dollars, if
you can find the proof asked for, and if
you are unable to secure the amount of-
fered it will be the best of evidence that
the fence is worth an investigation and
a trial. It is an ornamental, as well as
durable and wonderfully cheap fence.
——One of the largest public sales
that has taken place in this community
for a long time will be held in this place
next Wednesday, March 28th. Besides
the particular interest it will have for
farmers who are looking for an oppor-
tunity to purchase implements, buggies
or carts at a great reduction, there will
be an exhibition of the Elmira fire-
proof roofing felt and ebonized paint
which will be worth coming a long die-
tance to see. The sale will ;be held
at the carriage shops of J. 8. Waite &
Co., on Water street, in this place,
where the Elmira felt Co. is erecting a
house over which coal-oil will be freely
poured and the building then set afire,
Notwithstanding its saturation with the
inflammable oil the fire proof felt will
save the structure from destruction.
Don’t miss this sale.

Hx Lost His WaGER.—On Monday
evening Alf. Baum, a Bellefonte livery-
man, undertook to drive from the Court
House to Kohlbecker’s hotel, in Cen”
tral city, and return in twenty five min-
utes. He had wagered twenty five dol-
lars that he could cover the distance,
six miles and one furlong with one
horse in the time stated.
A large crowd of sports gathered in
the Diamond to see the start and inas-
much as the required time was so short
they waited about for the return. Many
watches were being watched, but when
the twenty-five minutes had elapsed the
racer had failed to appear, though just
two minutes and thirty seconds too late
to win his bet the horse and driver ap-
peared flying in Allegheny street.
When Baum pulled up in front of the
judges his pretty bay speeder was as wet
as if it had just come out of & bath. It
had lost its owner’s money and looked
dejected enough to have realized it too.
The liveryman could bave made the
time had he not have worked his horse
so hard in the morning, when he made
a trial rip and did it in twenty-five
minutes. Then too a rain, during the
day, made the roads soft and in conse-
quence the time was slower,

opened at noon Saturday and he con-
tinued doing the nice business he had

ment was only temporary and Mr.
Gramley is sounder to-day than he was
before he assigned.
