Bmore Jay Terms 2.00 A Year,in Advance Bellefonte, Pa., Mayil8, 1894. P. GRAY MEEK, Epitor Will They Re-elect Him, Judge CravToN, who has been ac- cused of conduct and characteristics that should not belong to a judge, and who in his judicial office, particularly in maintaining a mill for the grinding out of improper naturalization, has done Hotes enough to disgrace the ermine, has been renominated by a large majority for another term by the Republicans of Delaware county. There cannot be a doubt that he has been guilty of practices which entitle him more to an impeachment than a re-election. No question can be eoter- tained that he has dragged his judicial robes through the dirtiest of political cesspools, and that he has resorted to the lowest methods of politics to main- tain his seat on the beach. The oppo- sition of the best Republican element in his county has sprung from these defects in his character and methods. The most reliable Republican journals of the eastern part of the State testify to his unworthiness. Nevertheless, he has been renominated by his party, and the endorsement has been made by a great majority. Now what will the people of Dela- ware county do in this case? It is said that the Democrats will have a good chance of electing a judge if they put upa good man. Bat the Republi- can majority is large, and when it comes to voting, the members of that party have a habit of overlooking fitness, honesty and decency and woting for candidates without regard to the ab- sence of those essential qualifications. We should therefore not be surprised to see the Republicans of Delaware county, “for the good of the party” rallying in support of 2 man who has proven himself unfit for the judicial of- fice. . Deserving Severe Punishment. Mere trespassing upon the grass in the capitol grounds, for which Coxey bas been arraigned before a magistrate, is but a slight offense compared with that with which some of his followers have been committing in the West, Out in that region they have become organized bands of highwaymea who have feloniously taken possession of trains and forcibly seized the control of railroads. Not content to tramp the highways, which is the ordinary mode of locomotion for such vaga- bonds, they aspire to join the main army at Washington inan easier and more expeditious way, and consequent- ly they resorted to the accommodation of railroad Yravel by violent meane. By such high-handed proceedings a stoppage of all traffic was brought about on the roads thus taken posses- sion of, including the transportation of the mails, inter-state commerce and everything else. The laws of both the States and the nation have thus been violated. These unruly vagabounds went even further than this in their lawlessness at North Yakima, in the State of Washington. They resisted the authority of the Federal courts, fought a battle with the United States marshals, killing and wounding several, and in short levied war against the United States. Here was a misde- meanor of the most aggravated char- acter. The offense of Coxie at the seat of government will perhaps be treated with the light ‘punishment of a fine, but the example he has set has en- couraged offenses which should meet with the severest punishment of the law. On Tuesday morning the Con- gressional Record was burdened with 112 columns of a speech which Sena- tor Quay has started to read in the Se- nate in the hope of delaying Democrat- ic legislation on the WiLson bill. No one knows how long the speech will be and the Senator don’t know himself. for he neither wrote, it nor does he know who did. He has been receiving it on the installment plan from somewhere and reads it just as he can get it in. The wonder to usis that Congress will permit of the publica- tion of anonymous communications in the Record. No reputable newspaper would publish the stuff. ——The burning of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, Dr. TarLwace's church, makes the third destruction of that edifice by fire. It seems almost re- markable that his congregation should be called upon eo often to repair losses by fire. —1f you want printing of any de- scripton the WaArcaMAN office is the place to have it done. Unjust Blame. The tariff bill in the shape in which it will sooner or later pass the Senate, will not be satisfactory to the Demo- cratic party. It will not be the meas- ure of tariff reform which they expect- ed to secure. Somebody is to blame for this, but nothing could be more outrageously unjust than the New York World's putting on President CLEVELAND ‘the responsibility for this shameful outcome of a great pop- ular struggle.” It blames him for not forcing through the Senate a prop- er Democratic tariff bill, as he forced the repeal of the SHERMAN law. Nothing could be more absurd or unjust than to hold Mr. CLEVELAND responsible for the effects of the trea- son of half a dozen Democratic Sena- tors, How could be be expected to control them when the motive of some of them for opposing the W iLsoN bill is the personal grudge which’ they hold toward him. ,This is the explanation of the opposition of Davip B. HiLr, the “spoiled child” of the New York Democracy, whose factional malice towards CLEVELAND makes it prefer- able to him that he should turn trai- tor to his party than that a party meas- ure in which the President is deeply interested should be successful. Sena: tors MurpaY, of New York, GORMAN, of Maryland, MoreaN of Alabama, and probatly oneor two others are actuated more or less by similar per- sonal animosity towards the President. Under such circumstances there is no sense whatever in blaming the Presi dent for not restraining the action of men actuated by such a spirit. As well might WasaiNgTON have been blamed for not preventing the treason of BENEDICT ARNOLD. Over Forty Thousand Persons Saw the : Great Race. Dr. Rice Won in Fast Time—It Was an Excit- | ing Struggle from Start to Finish and Thous. ands of Dollars Changed Hands on the Result of the Uncertain Contest—The Scenes After the Race. New York, May 15.—The Brooklyn handicap, the first big turf event of the season, was won by Dr. Rice in the fast time of 2:07}. Over 40,000 people saw the race. It was an ideal day for the race. The track was in perfect condi- tion and there was every prospect of the record of 2:07 flat, made by Dry Mono- pole, getting lowered. The big event was the fourth race on the card. It was scheduled to take place at 4 o'clock, but it was nearly 4.48 when the flag fell. The horses were at the post nearly forty minutes. Break after bresk occurred, but not one was even enough to warrant their getting the word. Copyright, Herald, Ajax and Comanche came out to the furlong post fully half a dozen times. Copy- right’s fractious temper was realiy the chief cause of the delay. Sport, con- trary to general expectations, behaved himself well throughout the coming or- deal. Comanche was restless and did considerable buck jumping. Lowland- er also gave a grand stand exhibition of bad temper. He managed io unseat McDermott once and had him on his neck several times. A crowd of several thousand persons surged around the chute. A start was finally effected. It looked to be a fair one for all but Low- lander, Martin, howeyer, did not think it was a start and Clifford was left standing still. Thompson also began to pull up Sport just as they got the flag. McDermott made no effort to join the field with Lowlander. He simply cantered back to the paddock. Clifford and Sport went after the others but gave up the unequal struggle very soon. Fred. Foster, the owner of Dr. Rice, backed the horse heavily on the winter books. His winnings : ggregate $50, 000, in addition to the stake, which is worth $25,000, $18,000 of which goes to Dr. Rice. Largest Gasser on Earth. Struck in Wildcat Territory and Setting the Country on Fire. ToLepo, May 14.—The largest gas well in the Ohio or Indiana fields was drilled in on the Wallace farm, three miles west of Fostoria, to-day. The lease is owned by the Chicago Oil Company, and the well was started last week in territory which was con- sidered worthless. It came in at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and when the tools were thrown out the workmen had to run for their lives. The drill stem and rope were blown fully 500 feet. The well is estimated at 50,000,000 feet of gas a day, the largest well on earth. The gas caught fire from the forge, and the derrick has been burned to the ground. The woods are blazing in many places, and flames can be seen shooting up 100 feet above the tree tops. One curious feature is that in more than 100 places water is spout- ing through the ground to a height of 10 to 20 feet. Death of General Dechert. PHivapeLrHIA, May 13.—After a painful illness that began with an af- fection of the liver, in November last, Brigadier General Robert Porter Dech- ert became uncouscious on Friday, and expired yesterday at 1.12 p. m., at the residence of his brother, Henry M. Dechert, No. 3914 Walnut street. The funeral which was held at 3.30 p. m,, on Tuesday, from the Tab- ernacle Presbyterian church, Thirty- seventh and Chestnut streets, was attended by, a military escort composed of Second regiment infantry, command- ed by Col. J. B Porter, First troop, of Philadelphia, City cavalry, with Cap- tain J. Lapsley Wilson in command ; battery A, Captain M., C. Stafford, and such organizations of the brigade as may desire to participate. | The Tabernacle Burned. | | | Dr. Talmage’s Church Destroyed For the Third Time.— Electric Light Wires Back of the Or- | gan Start It and a Million Dollars Worth of | Property Goes Up to Smoke. New York, May 13.—Fire seems to be the nemesis of Rev. T. DeWitt Tal- mage and the members of his congre- gation. Their beautiful new taberna- cle at the corner of Clinton and Greene avenues, Brooklyn, was destroyed by fire this afternoon. Flames broke out in the church edifice just after those who had attended the morning service had left the building, Not only was the church destroyed, but a near by hotel, and a number of buildings were also greatly damaged. Had the fire broke out one hour earlier while the building was filled with worshippers, it is almost certain that a dreadful panic and loss of life would have resulted. This is the third time that the Tal- mage tabernacle has been destroyed by fire. By asingular coincidence each fire occurred on a Sunday. Everything in the tabernacle to-day was destroyed with the building. Per- haps the loss which will grieve Dr. Talmage most is that of the memorial stones which he brought from the East and which were set in the wall at the right of the organ, encased in stereo- relief work. They were four in num- ber. The fire was discovered shortly after 12 o'clock, just atter the congregation had been dismissed from the morning service. A small boy rushed in from the street and told James Day the sexton that emoke was coming out of the windows. Dr. Talmage was still in the building shaking hands with some people. After some search it was dis- covered that the smoke proceeded from behind the big organ. Almost at thesame time the fire was located flames burst from the top. In the meantime, ex-supervisor Reed, who was in the Summerfield Methodist Episcopal church directly opposite from the tabernacle had also seen the smoke coming from the window and gent in an alarm of fire. By the time the firemen arrived the flames were bursting from all the church windows. Two extra alarms, and finally a special call were sent in, bringing all the engines in Brooklyn and Williamsburg to the fire. The interior of the church was a seething, roaring mass of flames inside of thirty minutes after the fire was dis- covered and by 1 o’clock the root and the handsome steeple had fallen in. Great jets of flames shot across the open space, between the Tabernacle and the Hotel Regent, which is next to the church on Clinton avenue, and in a short space of time that portion of the hotel nearest the church was bura- ing fiercely. The Regent is a family hotel. The guests fled in dismay. At the time ot the fire there were eighty five guests and ninety servants in the house. Two sick women had to be carried out of the place in the building. : The flames spread rapidly through the hotel, and it too was soon afire from cellar to root. The Tabernacle and hotel Regent were completely gutted. Nothing re- mains but the walls. The total loss is estimated at a little over a million dollars. The loss on the hotel Regent, will amount to about $600,000. The loss on the Tabernacle is about $400,000 and the adjoining buildings are reported to be damaged to the extent of $50,000. Four firemen were overcome by the beat during the progress of the flames and had to be removed from the scene. All subsequently recovered. It was supposed the fire was caused by a spark from one of the electric wires behind the organ in the Tab- eroacle. Commonwealers Punished. HELENA, Mont., May 14.—The Mon- tana contingent of the Coxey army are the commonwealers in the country to be punished by court for stealing a train. Three weeks ago the Montana Coxey- ites, under the leadership of William Hogan, stole a Northern Pacific train at Butte and started to leave the state. Hogan and his men were captured by United States troops and brought back to Helena, where they have since re- mained under military guard. To-day the leaders were brought into United States court, Judge Knowles presiding, for a hearing. The charge against them was contempt of court in not obeying an order ot the court com- manding them not to interfere with Northern Pacific property. After a hearing, lasting all day, Hogan was seat to jail for six months. The engi- neers and firemen for two months each. Big Fire at Boston. Some Twelve Acres of Territory Burned Over and 1,000 Families Made Homeless. Boston, May 15—Some small Rox- bury boys set oasetes up as rivals to Mrs. O’Leary’s cow on the Boston base ball grounds this afternoon and as a re- sult the city was visited by the biggest fire since Thanksgiving, 1893, and a conflagration covering a greater area than any since the memorable one of 1872. While the financial loss is not a circumstance to that of either of the above mentioned fires, yet in less than three hours some twelve acres of terri- tory were burned. The base ball grand stand and bleach- ers, a large school house, an engine house and 164 wooden buildings burned and 1,000 families were rendered home- less. The loss is conservatively estimated at from $300,000 to $500,000, although one authority puts it at $1,000,000. Indications are that the fire was caus- ed by carelessness and mischief and be- came beyond control through stupidity. ——Japanese buggies are drawn by men. SS ——Read the WATCHMAN, Coxey'’s Camp Broken, The Army of Commonwealers Leaves Washington. | — An exchange publishes the following WasHINGTON, May 12.—Tents were struck at “Camp Tyranny” before 9 this morning and an hour later the army was on the march for the new camp near Hyattsville, in Maryland. Carl Btowne made a parting speech, in which he told the men that it would be impossible for him and Coxey to ac- company them on account of their en- gagements in the Police Court ; so the command was turned over to young Jesse Coxey. The three convicted leaders cannot leave the District until their sentences have been imposed and served, since the terms of their bail bonds forbid them to depart the jurisdiction ofthe court. . i Comparatively few people witnessed the departure of the army as it march- ed through the side streets, with the bass drum pounding and all the ban- ners displayed, and it evidently has be- come an exploded sensation in this city. The men were pleased at the prosp ect of another change and talked hilariously of the country fare they ex- pected to get. Coxey and Browne arted from the army to go to the po- ice court, where they expected that the motion for a new trial would be argued, but found that the hearing had been postponed until Tuesday. “General” Coxey talks enthusiastic- ally of the support the army is re- ceiving from the West and ot the car- loads of provisions being shipped for it. He has received an invitation to dre with the Clover Club in Philadelphia on May 17, and says that he will be there unless he is prevented by the necessity for serving an important en- gagement with the District authori- ties. Hyattsville, where the army camps to-day in a small suburban village in Maryland. Most of its men are en- gaged in business or in the government departments in Washington during the day, so that the population during business hours consists mostly of women and children. Naturally there is great uneasiness felt at the prospect of the undesirable neighbors. Last night the school house bell was rung to call the citizens together and two hundred of them marched to the home of J. W. Rogers, who invited the Cox- eyites to camp on his land. Mr. Rog- ers is best known in this vicinity as ‘Pan-Electric’ Rogers, and played a silent part as attorney for Coxey in the Police Court trial. The new camp is about three miles from the District, a pleasant spot, well wooded and well watered. There Cox- ey expects to maintain headquarters for the army all summer if need be, or as he says, until Congress takes action on his bills. He says he expects that the other armies now marching toward Washington will co-operate with him there, and that the movement will in- crease in strength. Coleman’s Property Sold. PHILADELPHIA, May 14.—Robert H. Coleman’s Cornwall ore banks and the turnaces at Cornwall and Lebanon were sold out to the Lackawana iron company, of Scranton. The sum paid, it is said, amounts to about $3,000.000 of which $1,000,000 is cash. This leaves Coleman his home at Cornwall, one farm at Bismarck and another be- low Cornwall, and the Colebrook es- tate, which includes Mt. Gretna. It is claimed that the sale will secure the payment of all Coleman’s debts, in- cluding the arrears to depositors of the trust and safe deposit bank. It is de- clared that the purchasers contem- plate building two new furnaces. ADDITIONAL LOCALS. ——The little borough of Chester Hill adjoining Philipsburg has a $5,000 damage suit on hand. Two years ago a Mrs. Cook, a washerwoman, fell on a defective board-walk and sustained per- manent injuries-—so she claims. —— Wm. Buck, of Millheim, died after a lingering illness with consump- tion at the home of his son, last Thurs- day afternoon. Deceased was a tailor by trade and a member of 203rd Pa. Vol. He was buried Saturday after- noon with the honors of war, the W. W. Bierly post, twenty-two strong, be- ing in attendance. —— Mrs. John Clark, Mr. John Kurtz’s mother, who died so unexpect- edly last Saturday at her brother’s, Mr. David Butts’, on Linn street, came here several months ago from her home in Williamsburg to visit relatives. She was so well, and the change had seem- ingly done her so much good, that she was prevailed upon to lengthen her stay. A week ago Tuesday preparatory to her return home she was out making calls, and had just returned to her brother’s when she was stricken with paralysis and died Saturday. Monday she was taken home to Williamsburg and buried Tuesday afternoon, she was not considered serious at first, but her death was peculiarly sad as her hus- band, to whom she was devoted, broke his collar bone the evening she had the stroke and was not able to come to see her at all. Mrs. Clark’s first husband, Mr. Kurtz, died years ago and she has made her home in Williamsburg where her husband is a banker for more than twenty years. She was 66 years old and a conscientious member of the Pres- byterian church. Besides her husband and two sons, Mr. John Kurtz and his brother Tom, who at one time worked in this office and who is now a Meth- odist preacher at Coneaut, Ohio, she leaves several step children who loved her as their own flesh and blood. i | } i | | INSUBORDINATION MEANS DEgaTH. account of how an unruly inmate of the Huatingdon reformatory met a sudden death at the hands of a cell keeper last Friday. “Thursday was the first time that in- subordination at the Pennsylvania In- dustrial reformatory was properly dealt with, according to general opinion ex- pressed at Huntingdon. It involved the life of a prisoner, but the occasion called for his death or that of defenseless Mr. J. L. Bookhamer, keeper of the solitary cells. Edward Wood and a fellow prisoner named Waldon conspired to kill Mr. Bookhamer, keeper of the solitary cells of the Huntingdon reforma- tory Thursday. Armed with iron bars, secreted in their pants legs, they made the attack in one of the cell hous- es. Wood struck the guard several ter- rific blows, and in warding off a perhaps fatal one, Mr. Bookhamer sustained a fracture to his right hand. To him it was a fight for life and his courage nev- er left him. Just as Wood and Wald- on wereabout to make another revenge- ful attack, Bookhamer came in posses- sion of a 38 calibre revolver through the assistance of Guard Matthew McAteer, and with this pointed directly at them held both at bay for a moment. Sev- eral times he asked them to surrender, but Wood’s only reply was something like “You're afraid to shoot—— —— —,"" and then another at- tack was attempted. But it was brought to a sudden ending. Book- hamer fired and Wood fell to the floor and expired in a moment. The bullet entered the lett side of his body under the arm and lodged near the heart. Waldon fled to another part of the in- stitution. Bookhamer’s act is commended, as it was necessary. He was encountering desperate men and was compelled to employ desperate measures. Coroner Harmon summoned a jury and viewed the body and heard con- siderable testimony. At the conclusion of the hearing the jury rendered a ver- dict exonerating Mr. Bookhamer, on the ground that he acted in self defense.

To Trout FISHERMEN. — Several weeks ago we published a decision ren- dered by Judge Sterrett, of Luzerne county, in which he ruled that no stream which bad been stocked with small trout fry could be protected under the law as a “stocked stream’’ unless tbe required screens were in use in tue stream to keep the growing flsh in sepa- portions of the water. That is 1f any person should put small trout fry into a stream and then tack up the usual cau- tion notices, such notices would be of no effect since the law making it a mis- demeanor to fish in ‘stocked streams’ stipulates what a stocked stream must be. It must have screens of various sizes to keep the fish separate and the fish therein must be fed by the parties who desire to protect them under the’ law. Now Judge Sterrett’s ruling only holds in cases where a stream is pro- tected by the caution notices, but has no screens. No matter how many notices may be tacked up along such a stream it will be lawful for you to fish in it, pro. vided the owner of the property through which the stream flows does not prohi- bit you from trespassing. If he should have trespass notices posted, however, then you will be liable to arrest, and a fine, or imprisonment, or both, may fol- low. So after all the ruling ot the Luzerne county judge has very little bearing on the questiun of liberties in trout fishing for men who go to the trouble of stock- ing a stream and try to propagate trout will not be likely to leave you fish on their property, so even if they do not have screens in the water, a simple trespass notice will warn you to stay off and you must heed it or abide the con- sequences. Pine Grove Mentions. Rev. C. T. Aikens is this week absent from his charge attending Synod at Se- lin’s Grove. Mrs. Kanode, a well known old lady of three score years and ten, and who it is always a pleasure to meet, is this week the guest of her son-in-law, W. J. Meyers, on Main street. George Smith one of the State capitol’s hustling business men is spending this week at his old home viewing the pave- ments where he used to stump his toes and make wry faces. Last Sunday Rev. C. T. Aikens adminis- tered sacrament at Pine Hall, where some thirty members were added to the congregation. The Rev. isa young man and rallies the young around him, and just as soon as they become members they are no longer drones, but wide awake members. Our young friend James Harpster is laid by for repairs with a gashin one of his legs just below the knee, which will disable him for weeks to come. He was engaged cutting logs on Tussey mountains and experienced consi.erable difficulty in securing a doctor to dress the cut» which bled so freely thathe was very weak. Mr. N. T. Krebs this week bade adieu to his legion of friends and is, we suppose by this time, thinking longingly of '‘the girl X left behind me,” as he delves into Black - stoneand other legal lore in the office of his uncle, Judge Krebs in Clearfield, where with his bright mind and his natural elo- cutionary powers, we will expect him to turn out more than an ordinary every day lawyer. Our young ministerial friend W. C, Dunlap is now the pastor of a flourishing congregation. The Lutheran congreza- tion at Duncannon experienced some trouble 1n the past five months in finding a pastor to take their old one’s place who had accepted a call elsewhere. A num- ber of candidates had preached for the congregation and trustees but none of them had been quite satisfactory. About four weeks ago Mr. Dunlap, yet a student at Gettysburg seminary, held commun- ion service for this shepherdless flock, and shortly after received a call to take charge of them in July which he accep- ted, to take effect the first of June. To this young divine the WaATcEMAN adds its heartiest congratulations, and hopes that he may enjoy many years in the service of the Master with flattering benedictions of an observing people. Last Sunday evening at early twilight the Chistian Endeavor Society ushered in throngs of people to witness their first anniversary which was held in the Luth- eran church. By the time of commence- ment every available space was filled, The church was tastefully decorated, the altar was literally covered with palms and blooming flowers, the odors penetrating the whole building. An in- teresting programe had been arranged and was carried out to the letter by the president, J. B. Piper, who tried to make the services as impressive as possible and quite well did he succeed. The singing, under the leadership of Rev. Aikens, was up to the standard of which this choir is noted and the congregational singing was elegant. Miss Maggie Brett presided at the organ and to her untiring efforts much credit is due. A large membership from State College, Boalsburg and Bailey- ville were in attendance, many of them were untiring and persevering in the Christian Endeavor work in assisting to bear each other’s burdens and in conclu- sion all the success that the C. E. has at- tained they owe to God's great kindness towalds them. League Anniversary. The anniversary of the State College chap. ter of the Epworth Leagne was held on the evening of the 13th with a well crowded heuse. The programe was carefully prepared and fit- tingly carried out. The flower decorations were elaborate ind
