BR En ——— ————————————— Pine Grove Mentions. The, venerable Amos Royer is lying at deaths door. Our M. E. neighbors will observe Sun- day evening the 24th ints. for children’s day exercises in the church at this place. A band of Gipsy fortune tellers camped just out side of town and as usual had a better crowd than the evening prayer meeting. We regret to note the illness of our friend, Wilson Gardner, who is suffering from a partial stroke of paralysis effect. ing his speech and right side. Miss Maggie Goss one of Altoona’s graceful young ladies is administering to the wants of her grandmother here, who for some weeks has not been in her usual health. Robt. Glenn Bailey, one of the mountain city’s hustling businesss men came down to his parental home to report his bounc- ing boy baby to his little sisters and brothers. Communion services in the Presbyte- rian church next Sunday a m. Childrens day services in evening when a carefully arranged program will be carried out by Supt. Dr. Wood. George A. Tate one of the P.R.R. Co, great big six footers,on the Pittsburg divi- sion, is off duty and is saving his board by | visiting Centre county friends who al-' ways are very glad to see him. Mr. George Gitt one of Hanover’s hust- ling business men is making his annual visit to his sister Mrs. C. T. Aikens, George is one of those pleasant and agreeable young men who our townsfolk are always pleased to meet. A cordial reception was held at the home of Hezikiah Ewing and wife at Fairbrook when a large number of invited guests assembled to do honor to the marriage reception of their oldest son Morrison, to Miss Laura J. Postlewait. Mrs. Mararet Lutz of Bellefonte is this week keeping her big son-in-law Fred Meyers company in doors where he is nursing a bad eye that has caused much uneasiness among his friends, but fortu- nately it is improving and likely his sight will be restored in time. The following Monday evening, a free lecture will be given in the same church on the habits and customs of Turkey by Prof. S. H. Stineman who comes highly recommended as an orator and humorist. The Turk’s marriage ceremony will be performed, and everybody is invited to attend. Mrs. Sarah Kuntzleman a sprightly and refined old lady of Huntingdon was in at. tendance at the funeral of her sister-in- law, Mrs. Henry Garner. She failed to recognize but few faces after a quarter of a century’s absence, aside from her silvery locks the hand of time has touch- ed her tenderly and she has every ap- pearance of a well kept woman who is al- ways welcomed by her friends. Miss Maud Williams of Tyrone is visit- ing friends about Fairbrook. On Wed- nesday during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Campbell at the Rhone anni- versary, and the older members of the family at the College Commencement, Maud fell, broke her arm and dislocated the elbow of the same arm. Little Maggie and Clay Campbell her play mates at the time, realized the situation at once and sent for Dr. Houser who set the arm to the childs relief. Summer is upon us with all its usual warmth. The long period of wet weather has changed into cloudless skies with cld Sol pouring his rays down the near way on mother earth, and the forenoon farmer ison the jump getting ready for hay making which will be a very short and light crop. Timothy may make a good showing but clover is unusually short and the long cool wet spell pro- duced an abundant crop of sorrel and weeds of all kinds. Beside dealing out the mail as post- master at this place D. W, Miller has im- barked in the raising of fancy stock. His usual good judgment and care is very evident in his fine heard of Holsteins, A few days ago one of his blooded cows had a calf that tipped the scales at 95 lbs. two hours after birth. He has also been successful in raising the intelligent Scotch collie a dog that is especially useful to and adapted for the farmer. The games our Excelsior base ball team have won were both over Boalsburg, one two! Saturdays ago when the score was 7toll in favor of the Excelsiors— not feeling satisfied under the woes of defeat, the Boalsburg boys came up last Saturday determined to take the laurels away with them, but in this they failed for the close contested a game was? to 9 in favor of the Excelsiors. They are a jolly set of fellows and have much to hope for and should not be discouraged. This being an exceptional season for frosts, strikes, floods and hard times gen. erally there is still a happy thought that our long anticipated railroad is very near as the right of way with the exception of a small tract has been secured. In the early part of this week five of our sub’ stantial business men went into a guar- anteed;bond tothe railroad officials for the sum of $2,000 which amount is thought to be sufficient to cover all damages along the route from Strubles Station to this place, of the above amount the committee in charge of the funds are still $390 short which should be speedily subscribed so as to relieve them of {financial embar- resment, letit be done at once so the good work can be completed by 1895. The death of Elizabeth Ann wife of Henry Garner occurred at their home near Fairbrook on the 8th inst. while it was generally known that she was ill and her mind some what affected, the news of her death was a surprise as she was not confined to her bed. Dropsy and heart failure were the cause of her death, Deceased was born in Moor township Northampton county Sept. 10, 1818 her parents David and Barbara Miller moved to Centre county in the thirties. She was the widow of Samuel Bloom to whom she had five dhildren David H. Bloom, of Jewel county Kan. is the only one liv. ing. Mr. Bloom died in Nov. 1849 and she married Henry Garner June 27th 1850 to this union 4 children were born.

Both Sides Anxious for a Settlement—A Possi- ble Compromise. CoLUMBUS, Ohio, June 11.—After an executive session of the Scale Committee of the miners’ and operators’ Conference lasting two hours, this morning, the miners’ delegates asked time to confer again, and the Committee adjourned to 8 p. m. Both sides are anxious to make settlement, but there are sticklers on both sides who prevent it. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio operators would pay the 70 and 79 cents per ton demanded by the miners, but Pittsburg operators will not agree to it. Al. Sweet, representing Northern Illinois operators said he did not believe the miners of his district would accept a settlement on the 60 and 69 cent basis contemplated by the compromise. Colonel W. P. Rend, of Chicago, who has frequently propos- ed solutions of such questions, arrived here to-day and laid before the miners’ representatives a compromise that may be accepted. It is this: : The miners are to accept 60 and 69 cents per ton now, but after September 1, 1894, they are to receive 70 and 79 cents, the scale they are now demand- ing. The feature of this is that it will permit the operator to get out coal for contracts on hand before the advance in wages takes place. ; Secretary McBride heartily approved the proposition as did also J. W. Craw- ford a member of the Executive Com- mittee of the Illinois miners. The Striking Miners. Central Pennsylvania Men Will Not Surrender. PUNXSUTAWNEY, June 12—“No sur- render’ was, in eftect, the outcome of the miners mass meeting to day and in emphatic language were the coal com- panies denounced for refusing to make any compromise with the delegates at Altoona. The leaders advised the men to remain just asthey are, to obey the law and to offer no violence to the guards; if they do this they will be victorious in the struggle. The Italian and Slav contingent among the miners was excited, but con- servative gpeepies made by interpreters kept them in check. ost of the men who had been served with eviction notices at Horatio volun- tarily left the houses to-day. The fail- ure of Governor Pattison to respond to their request for the use of tents until the trouble is over is causing them anx- iety. The settlement of the strike in other sections has had no perceptible effect upon the miners in this district, and the outlook to-night is that the strike will continue indefinitely. Many Miles ot Burning Timber. Serious Forest Fires in Michigan—A Lumber Village Wiped Out. MARQUETTE, Mich., June 11.—De- structive forest fires are raging in the neighborhood of Nestoria, fifty miles west of here. Two bridges on the South Shore Road, near here, were burned, stopping traffic to Duluth, and a | ard fight was necessary to protect the Com- pany’s property at Nestoria. The burn- ing district coversan areaof a mile wide and five miles long, and the destruction to timber must be enormous. Similar big fires extend southward at intervals for many miles. Sagola, a lumbering village of 400- inhabitants, was com- pletely wiped out Saturday night, and a freight train on the Milwnukee & Northern passing through there was set on fire and several cars burned. Only the most meagre reports can be received as in many places wires are down and travel suspended entirely. A Famine of Pig Metal. Blast Furnaces in the Shenango Valley Tied Up by the Strike. New Castig, Pa., June 11.—The first consignment of Southern pig metal ever brought to New Castle arrived Saturday for the Baldwin & Graham Stove Works. It was purchased in Alabama, owing to the coal strike, which has paralyzed all the industrial establishments in the Shenango Val- ley. Blast furnaces in Sharpsville, Sharon, and New Castle, with the sin- gle exception of the Shenango Valley Company’s furnace, are now coked down. There is not only a coal and coke famine here, but also a metal famine, something that was never koown before. At the Atlantic Fur- nace there are 12,000 tous of metal,but it is being held by a Pittsburg specu- lator for higher prices.
