A cordial reception was held at the home
of Hezikiah Ewing and wife at Fairbrook

Mrs. Mararet Lutz of Bellefonte is this
week keeping her big son-in-law Fred

nately it is improving and likely his sight
will be restored in time.

Prof. S. H. Stineman who comes highly
recommended as an orator and humorist.

performed, and everybody is invited to

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-

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

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.

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

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

failure were the cause of her death,

IMPORTANT TO APPLICANTS FOR Po-
siTIoNs IN THE Post OFFICE.—The
following has been handed us with the
request to publish. Persons who desire
to be placed upon the eligible list as
candidates for clerks or carriers in the
post office at this place should read and
remember the dates given :
“The Civil Service Commission at
Washington has ordered that an exami-
nation be held in Bellefonte, on Satur-
day July 7th, 1894, commencing at 9
o'clock, a. m., for the grades of clerk
and carrier in the Bellefonte postoffice.
Only citizens of the United States can
be examined. The age limitations are
as follows: For carrier, not under 21
nor over 40 ; for all other positions, not
under 18 years. No application will be
accepted for this cxamination unless
filed in complete form, at the postoffice,
on the proper blank, before the hour of
closing business on July 2nd, 1894.
“The Civil Service Commission takes
this opportunity of stating that the ex-
aminations are open to all reputable
citizens who may desire to enter the
postal service without regard to their
political affiliations. All such citizens,
whether Democrats or Republicans, or
neither, are invited to apply. They
shall be examined, graded, and certified
with entire impartiality, and wholly
without regard to their political views,
or to any consideration save their effi-
ciency, so shown by the grades they ob-
tain in the examination. For applica-
tion blanks, full instructions, and infor-
mation relative to the duties and salaries
of the différent positions, apply at the
postoffice.”
The Columbus Conference.
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. TheShenango
Valley Steel Mill has some large or-
