°C | From Lonpox To MEXIco oN Foor.
Deumorratic aclu '_The Brockerhoff house, entertained
SoD ' a traveller, on Monday night, who is
. perhaps the first of his kind to pass
' through Bellefonte.
About 6:30 in the evening a rather
chunky, sandy haired, sunburnt pedes-
"trian strode into the hotel office, carry-
ling a small telescope and black over-
coat. He presented a letter to proprie-
tor Neubauer, who was in the office at
the time and the genial host's
“why of course,” answer to the quiet
question of the traveler aroused our
curiosity. He had been asked if he
woald entertain the traveler for the
night, free of charge, and after the
affirmative answer the stranger register-
ed. His name was Vyvyan Gray.
After he had removed the travel stains
on his clothing and cleaned himself up
a little we interviewed him and learned
the following :
Vyvyan Gray is an English newspa-
per writer, who has seen fourteen years
work asa war correspondent in the
Soudan and is now carrying out a wager
that he can travel from London, Eng-
land, to Monterey, in Mexico, depend-
ing entirely on the charity of the people
whom he meets for his subsistence.
The wager came about as follows : One
evening while chatting with members
of the London press association a wager
was made that Gray should cross the
Atlantic and make his way the best he
can, trusting to the hospitality of
Americans for boarding and traveling
expenses, to Monterey, Mexico, where
he is to meet a brother of the president
of the press assciation and then start on
his return trip home. On the home-
ward trip he must raise $5,000 by de-
livering lectures in various towns and
must be back in England by St. Pat-
rick’s day, 1895. If Gray fulfills his
part of the agreement he is to receive
$5,000 from the president of the London
press association and $5,000 from the
Daily Telegraph of that city.
Gray accepted the wager and on
February 6, 1894, started from Derby,
England, and walked 162 miles to
Liverpool. In that city he signed as
stoker of the steamship Cephalonia and
landed in Boston, March 9. On March
17, he started on his long tramp through
the United States, He went to Albany
New York, called on Governor Flower)
which executive treated him very cor-
dially, thence to Elmira, thence to Can-
ton, Bradford county. From that place he
walked to Williamsport, a distance of 40
miles, in one day, winning a pair of
shoes by the performance. From Wil
liamsport he walked to Lock Haven,
thence to this place, and left here Tues-
day morning for Tyrone, He is walking
west to Pittsburg where he expects to
work his passage on a river boat down
to New Orleans. Thence he will go
around the Gulf of Mexico to San An-
tonia, Texas, thence to Corpus Cristi and
then 40 miles over-land to Monterey.
He registers at every post-office or rail-
way station in his route.
During Monday evening we had a
long talk with him and found him to
be well educated and conversant on
American questions as well as those of
most all lands. He was hopeful of
winning his wager, but deplored the
accident by which Irish and Scotch
companions had been laid up in Elmira.
The one with a bursted varicous vein,
the other with a knee badly lacerated,
by a bottle thrown from a passing train.
‘While here he met Burgess Gray, who
signed his book of registration and the
County seal was also stamped on one
page by Commissioner’s clerk, R. F.
Hunter.
Gray said he rarely got tired during
the day, but often felt very bad when
rising time came in the morning. As
that seems to be a common masculine
affection we told him he need fear no
bad results.

Opp FeLrLows DAY AT LEWISBURG.
—Extensive preparations are already be-
ing made for the entertainment of the
thousands who will throng Lewisburg’s
streets on Odd Fellows day, Thursday,
April 26th. An unusually interesting
program bas been arranged, and the
event promises to far surpass the centen-
nial anniversary in 1885 and Grand Ar-
my day held at Lewisburg a few years
ago. The grand parade of Odd Fellows
in bright regalia and bands of music,
will be an attractive feature, as Lewis-
burg, with its broad, level streets laid
out at right angles, affords unequalled
advantages for parading. In the morn-
ing the address of welcome will be de-
livered in Odd Fellow’s hall by Hon.
Benjamin K. Focht; later the opera
house will be thrown open when ad-
dresses will be delivered by Rev. David
Craft and other prominent members of
the order, including officers of the grand
lodge. The general parade will take place
at 2 o’clock ; the dress parade of Patri-
arches Militant will occur on the Bucknell

Mr. Jenkins and J. F. Mann propose
pushing the manufacture of this rake
for all it is worth and we trust that
their efforts will meet with success. The
rake is cut from one piece of steel.
Governor Curtin is able to be out
again after quite a serious confinement
with a lame shoulder. He fell on the
ice near his home some time ago and
was so badly injured that when a pas-
ser by helped him to his feet he re-
marked. “Look over there I think
some one must have fallen and hurt
himself.” When, in truth, some one
had fallen, but it was the venerable
Governor himself.

that her vacation has come. She is one
of the county’s most earnest teachers.
Lincoln J. Carter's great scenic
production “The Fast Mail” comes to
the opera house next Monday evening
with all its realisms in stage effects.
The freight train, steam boats and fast
mail train all are wonderful bits of stage
mechanism and are worth seeing. The
company that plays out the well sus-
tained plot of the play isa thoroughly
capable one. The last appearance here
elicited much commant.
-—R. J. Henderson, of Renovo, a
nephew of Mrs. Reuben Valentine of
this place spent Sunday with his aunt
out at “Burnham.” Dick, as he was
known to Bollefonters before he left
here in 1878, has a good position in the
P. R. R. shops at Renovo and since
leaving here has been married. His
wife is a daughter of our esteemed
friend John U. Shaffer, owner of the
Renovo Record.
——General Benjamin F. Fisher, of
Valley Forge, lectured in the chapel of
the Pennsylvania State College, last
Saturday night. His theme, ‘‘Reminis-
cences of life in, and escape from Libby
Prison.” was an old one, but told in the
manner that characterizad the Ganeral’s
lecture, it took on many new phases
and was very entertaining. Ha was one
of the original nineteen officers, who
planned and executed the work of dig-
ging the famous tunnel through the walls
and thence out under the prison yard to
the street. r
——Rev. Crosthweite, of Williams-
port, filled Dr. McGarrah’s pulpit in
the Methodist church here on Sunday
morning and evening and gave two
talks that could not have been more ap-
propriate had he been studying the
characteristics of his auditors for years.
He gave all the fellows who leave the
church the moment everything doesn’t
run according to their particular dictate
a decided combing and perhaps the
venerable preacher's pointed talk on
the aims and requirements of christiani-
ty will have a much needed effect in the
church here.
——On Monday afternoon A. J.
Greist, of Unionville, was walking
down High street, in this place, when
in front of the Arcade he stepped on the
iron grating that covers the coal hole,
in front of the post-office, and before he
could realize his legs went down into
the hole, throwing him violently on
the pavement. Mr. Greist is a very
heavy man and the fall might have
proven very serious. As it was ho
crawled out gracefully, swore a little
about his skinned shins, and limped
over to the Bush House. If the ex-
Commissioner hadn’t have been so fat
he might have gone clear down, but the
hole was not quite large enough to take
him in. The grating doesn’t fit any more,
so we are led to believe that he
stretched the hole pretty badly.
Mo~NDAY EvENING'S CoUNCIL MEET-
ING.--Only five councilmen were in
their places when the meeting was
called to order last Monday evening,
but there were enough of them to trans-
act the business that came up.
Under the head of complaints Jas.
Harris appeared and asked council to
to stop residents of the west side of
Spring street from dumping ashes down
over the steep embankment onto Water
street properties. The school board
sent in a communication protesting that
the high constable is not enforcing the
cow ordinance. Mr. Shortlidge, repre-
senting McCalmont & Co., asked to
know on what grounds a bill, for $50
back water rent against his flrm, had
been put into the hands of a collector,
All the complaints were referred to the
propercommittees. The Street commit-
tee reported progress with its Spring
work. The Water committee reported
the painting of the fountain in the Dia-
mond. The angel having been made a
pure white and her pedestal a lemon
yellow, giving a colonial effect. We
will look in the Gazette’s “That col-
umn’ to see whether Francis says the
same thing about the angel’s seat as he
did when the hitching posts in front of
Harris’ hardware store were painted
such a well known shade of yellow.
Permission was granted the Hale es-
tate to temporarily raise the breast of
the Spring Creek dam so 8s to throw
more water into their mill race. The
rules and regulations to govern the
movements of the Board of Health
were adopted and $100 voted for its first
year’s expenses. Council then instruc-
ted the solicitor to inform the burgess
and Mr. Berger's bondsmen that if he
did not do his duty as high constable
they would be held responsible in suits
for damage.
This ended the miscellaneous business
and after acting on the routine work
council adjourned.
LitTLE GIRL DROWNED AT PORT
MATILDA.—A sad accident occurred at
Port Matilda, on Saturday afternoon,
and as its result the body of little Effie
Young 18 lying peacefully in its grave
and her loving parents are almost dis-
tracted at their sudden bereavement.
The story of her death is about as fol-
lows:
On Saturday afternoon, about three
o'clock, her father left her at home,
bright and happy as usual. Shortly
afterwards she went out to Awmmer-
man’s vacant lot, near tha rail-road
station, to play with some other chil-
dren. There they romped along the
| banks of Laurel run, which had become
greatly swollen by the melting snows
and was a torrent of rushing, muddy
waters. The children became separated
while playing their games and ’twas
not for some time that Effie Young was
missed. All the little ones began call-
ing her, but no response came. Then
her bonnet was picked up on the banks
of the stream and that seemed to con-
vince everyone that she had gone home.
They went in search of her there, carry-
ing the bonnet with them, but she was
not to be found. This alarmed her par-
ents and they instituted a thorough
search. Men hunted along the stream
in all directions until a party of them
saw the little body in an eddy, quite a
distance below the place at which the
bonnet had been found by the children.
When taken from the water it was al-
ready badly swollen and shortly after
turned black.
Burial was made on Sunday and a
large concourse of people assembled to
express condolence for the living and
sorrow tor the dead. Effie was a bright
child and very pretty.
Mgrs. McGARRAH 18 DEeap.—The
death of Mrs. James H. McGarrah
occurred at her late home in York, last
Monday evening, after a protracted ill-
ness. Deceased was a woman 60 years
of age and leaves three children, two
sons and a daughter, with a husband to
mourn her demise.
Rev. J. H. McGarrah was formerly |
presiding elder of the Altoona district of
the Methodist church, his last appoint-
ment was at First church, York, and
while there he was directed by the last
conference to succeed Rev. Houck at this
place, The illness of Mrs. McGarrah
made it impossible for them to move
here and Mr. McGarrah has only been
here one Sunday since his appointment.
The people here will be sorry to learn
of his hereavement.
BurLpIiNg A NEw STORE.--Millheim
the metropolis of Penns Valley seems
to keep moving right along, notwith-
standing the cry of hard times. The
people down there are never panic
stricken or troubled with finding gold
mines, but they hustle all the same and
make improvements as often as many
towns which profess far more impor-
tance. This summer there will be con-
siderable building, and among the new
buildings, none will be much more of
an improvement than the store building
which E. P. Mauck is erecting, on Penn
street, adjoining his house. For four-
teen years he has been associated with |
his father, in the furniture business and

his mangled body when it was picked
up.

ted. Philipsburg gave notice that it
would be unable to handle the affair
this year.
——Mifflinburg, Millheim and Mill-
mont physicians operated on Henry

town is Frank Mullen Esq. who has
left his large mercantile business at

iota in appearance, he finds many
strange faces on our streets.
——The Altoona and Philipsburg
railroad company built a temporary
crossing over the Tyrone and Clearfield
branch of the P. R. R. at Mapleton ear-
ly Sunday morning. Anu engine and
two passenger coaches were run across
while the Pennsy watchmen slept, and
now the new road is carrying passengers
between Philipsburg and ;7;Osceola
Mills, a transfer being made at Maple-
ton.
——While watching the smouldering
ruins of the Loose’ saw mill, in Miles
township, Brady Houtz was seized
with an epileptic fit and fell into the fire.
He was employed, with two other men,
to keep the flames from spreading to
the adjoining mountains. His face
was badly burned and his right had so
charred that when the fingers straight-
ened out they cracked and broke at the
joints. He is not expected to recover.
——The Altoona state league base
ball club has been touring in the South
for some time and is in fine form. Its
appearance at State College to-morrow
afternoon when the Collegians will be

interest. The State College team has
been defsated wice this week, once by
the University of Penna. at Philadel.
phia, and by Dickinson college, at Car-
lisle, so it may be expected to play a
strong game to retrieve its fallen laurels.

AN IDeA oF How Heavy THE Sxow
Was.--Now that the big snow of last
week has all disappeared we wonder
that reports of more damage from it are
not heard. In any other year the melt-
ing of such a great quantitity of snow
would have been sure to cause a flood,
but the remarkably dry winter we had
left the ground almost parched so that
as fast as the snow melted it was drunk
down by the thirsty ground. In fact so
much of it disappeared in this way that
notwithstanding the fact that it all
melted in three days there was scarcely
any rise of water at this place. Under
ordinary circumstances such a bed of
snow going off in so short a time would
have caused a pretty big flood.
Perhaps the most singular feature of
the snow was that it wrecked so few
buildings. We were expecting to hear
of the collapse of a great many struct-
ures under its great weight, but with
the exception of geveral weak sheds
there was little damage done in this sec-
tion. An idea of how heavy the snow
was can be had when we inform you
that the amount that fell on the scales
at Nittany, a station on the C. R. R. of
Pa., weighed just 1640 lbs. and the
scales are only 8 x 12 ft. in dimensions.
THE ProPoSED ARMORY FOR Co,, B.
—-A movement has been agitated for
some time that has had for its object,
the securing of a permanent and prop-
erly appointed barracks for our crack
Co, B, 5th Reg. N. G. P. Some time
ago there was talk of buying the lot at
the corner of High and Railroad streets,
now cccupied by Maitland’s boiler
works, and building thereon a fine
brick armory that should do duty as a
concert hall, bowling alley and shoot-
ing gallery as well as be a proper home
for the soldiers. The deal fell through,
however, owing to a failure to arrange
satisfactory terms with Mr: Chas. Mec-
Cafferty, owner of the property. The
question of the erection of an armory
then lapsed into quietude for a while,
but recently it has been revived and is
now a sure go.
The company has made arrangements
for the purchase of a lot, 145 x 90 feet,
on the northwest corner of Spring and
Lamb streets and the armory will be
built on that site. The structure will
be either of brick or stone, with trussed
roof. Thorough in its equipment and
an ornament to the town. Work will
be begun as soon as the design is de-
cided upon.
