I , 6 CouxciL Meets AGAIN.—The first _ May meeting of council for 1894 was ‘held in the chamber on Monday eve- ning with every member present except | Gegeral Beaver, who was out of town: ' The busin ess was transacted as follows : Under reports the Street committee * "reported a new crossing laid at Penn | and High streets, and was authorized to advertise for proposals for grading Curtin street at its intersection with Allegheny. The committee was directed | to give a grade for the new Armory to | be built at Lamb and Spring streets, but | upon a request from the Bellefonte Gas Co., the matter was reconsidered and held under advisement until May 21st. The Finance committee reported a bal- ance due the borough treasurer of $5,- 856.01 and was ordered to consider the necessity of exomerating W. Keeler from the payment of his taxes. He hav- ing appeared and stated that he was un- able to pay them. The Water commit- tee reported many repairs, and accepted the responsibility of laying a water main out to the extreme east end of High street. The people of that end have been praying for water for some time and now that council has granted their petition they are accordingly happy. . Under the head of miscellaneous busi- ness the matter of back water rent claim- ed against McCalmont & Co. was taken up and the time of service reduced from five to three years. The solicitor was accordingly instructed to present a bill for $30. The Fire and Police committee found fault with the police officers in allowing so many drunken men to go ou the streets. We are glad to see ibat council bas wakened up and we trust that the police will get a shaking up too. There is a law which enables an officer to arrest any man who is drunk in a pub- lic place, no matter whether he is order- ly or not. Itshould be enforced and every person seen on the streets under the influence of liquor should be locked up. There would be fewer insults for women in the town if this law was en- forced. Then too, we would like to know why the ordinance making it un- lawful for boys to be on the streets at night is not enforced. There was a great fuss made when it was passed, but like everything else it has been left to become a dead letter. We appeal to the Burgess to order the police to attend to their duties, they have been instructed once what to do and that should be erough. ADDITIONAL PosT-OFFICE CONVEN- 1ENCES.—The post-office department has promulgated an order substantially as follows, which will enable the public to send largesums of money by mail at a much lower rece than formerly «7 “On July 1st there will be for sale at the post-office .&—rew money order by which large and small sums can be trans- mitted by latter with safety, and at rates much less than the present. Orders for $2.50 or less can be had for three cents, and orders for larger amounts up to $100 at rates graded up to thirty cents. The schedule of fees for the new money or- ders has been reduced to the basis now charged by the various express com- panies for transmitting money, and will be as follows: For $2.50 or less, three cents ; $2.50 to $5, five cents ; $5 to $10. eight cents ; $10 to $20, ten cents ; $20 to $30, twelve cents ; $30 to $40 to $50, eighteen cents ; $50 to $60,t wenty cents ; $60 to $75, twenty-five cents; $75 to $100; thirty cents, The postal note gives no security to the sender. Anybody can get them cashed simply by signing his name and presenting it for payment at any post- office authorized to pay postal notes. The new money order, on the other hand, by a system of coupons serving as effective checks both upon purchaser and post-master, is apt to prove a satisfac- tory solution ot the long mooted problem of reissuing fractional currency for con- venience in mail purchases. Under the new system post-masters will receive a commission of three cents for each money order issued. At pres- ent they get three and one-half cents for each order issued and the same amount for each order paid, and one per cent. for each postal note issued, and three-fourths of a cent for each note paid. This reduction of the fees on large sums of money transmitted by money order is a good thing. The present rates are too exorbitant, for the people can get their money transmitted by ex- press companies at much lower rates than the government charges.’ Deputy PROTHONOTARY FOREMAN WiLL RETIRE.-—-This is the last week David I. Foreman will serve in the capacity of deputy prothonotary for the county.

P. | the Bellefonte High school will be held Tuten was seriously ill the announce- | in Garmans opera house } Wednesday ment of her death, Tuesday afternoon, | evening, June 6th. created much surprise and sorrow throughout the town. In her usual health until less than a week before, a | chill Wednesday evening did not alarm her as she thought she needed only rest and quiet, Thursday and Friday she was better but by Saturday it was deemed best to have her physician. Acute pneumonia had developed by Monday morning and she grew worse so rapidly that even the doctors at the consuita- tion, Monday evening, admitted there was no hope of her recovery. Conscious til the last, her death was as quiet and peaceful as the closing of a summer's day. Marie P. Fifield was born November 10ih 1829 in Fryeburg, Maine where her girlhood days were spent. In 1847 she married Edward Lindley Gray a sea captain of Cambridge Mass. and went with him to the Island of Tahitj in the Pacific Ocean where her husband was the American Cousul for more than six years. On returning to America they took up their residence at Cam- bridge Mass., where Mr. Gray died in '60. Ten years later she was married to Mr. Edward Tuten and came with him to Bellefonte when he and his brother Robert bought the Republican in Jan- uary 1873. Mrs. Tuten was a gentle, kind woman who had always charity for and sympa- thy with the unfortunate or needy. Traveled educated, and an incessant reader she was away above the average person mentally and intellectually and while she was naturally quiet and un- assuming in her manner no one ever met her without recognizing at once her charm of mind and person and her love- able, bright disposition. Of her six children only two Mrs. Frances Gray Gates and Earle Chester Tuten are living and to them who with the bereaved husband wiil miss her most we offer our deepest sympathy. After the burial services, which her pastor, Dr. Laurie, will conduct at her home on east Linn street. at 2 o’clock this afternoon, she will ® be laid | to rest in the Union Cemetery. by the side of her mother and her son Edward Gray, who died in 1884 and who is remembered as a most promising pleasant young man, ——Out of respect to the memory of Mrs. Edward T.

KickeDp BY A Horse AND [DiED.— William Feidler, an old and respected citizen of Gregg tosvnship, died last Saturday from the effects of a kick which he had received from a horse the preceding Wednesday. The accident occurred while Mr, Feidler wss ploughing in a field ad- joining his home. One of his horses began kicking und the old gentleman was struck just above his left temple. He fell unconscious to the ground, where he lay until a grandson, who had seen the mishap from the ‘porch of the house, called his grandmother. She being a feeble old lady could do little else than sound an alarm. A neighbor living a half-mile distant heard her cries and hurried to the scene. The injured man was carried to the house, where he re- mained unconscious until death. Deceased was 71 years of age, a con- sistent member of the Evangelical church of a quarter of a century's standing, and leaves a witow with six children to mourn his death. Funeral services were held in the Green Grove church Tuesday morning. Tue Hiee ScE00L DECLAMATORY CoNTEST.—On last Friday night Gar- mans opera house was crowded with people, all eager to hear the contest for the Reynolds prize of $15 in gold which is open annuaily to the Junior class of the Bellefonte High school. When Meyer's orchestra had finished ed its overture the curtain was raised and the contestants, seven young ladies and three young men, were seated on the stage with various officers of the School Board and some of the instruc- tors. Rev. Zehner pronounced an in- vocation and the contest began. All the young declaimers acquitted them- selves so creditably that it would bea difficult matter for us to single out in- dividual subjects for praise. It was generally conceded to have been the best contest ever given by theschool and the audience was delighted with the excel- lence of the program. After all the ef- forts had been heard the judges retired and found that Miss Lena Baum had excelled in the points of merit required. The prize was awarded her. News Purely Personal. —0Col. D. 8S.

Tae Pests CoMING AGAIN.--A bulletin sent out by the Department of Agriculture states that according to Professor Riley’s chronology in his re- port on the insects of Missouri, “two broods of the periodical cicada are due in 1894, and the insects will make their appearance during the last week of May.” Brood XII, composed of the seventeen-year form of locusts, last ap- peared in 1877, and then visited the vi- cinity of New York, Brooklyn and Jer- sey City, the Hudson valley south of Troy, portions of Connecticut, New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the District of Columbia. In all these states and perhaps also in North Carolina, Indiana and Michigan, the pest may be expected in June of the present year. The larvae, which live under ground, begin to rise and show themselves about ‘May 20, the adults remaining five or six weeks. But the damage done by these insects to fruit and shade trees is usually unimportant. It is serious only when they multiply rapidly and ovi- posit in young nursery stock. In 1887 they arrived in New Jersey on June 1 and destroyed much shrubbery, but their ravages were more alarming than harmful. TE FourtTE HERE. —It is probable that Bellefonte will not celebrate the Fourth of July in any public manner this year ; as for several years past we have had celebrations of ona sort or an- other.
