Want Free Delivery.
A Deputation to Secure It For Tyrone Called
at the Post Office Department Wednesday
WasHINGTON, July 18.—W. Fisk
Conrad, postmaster at Tyrone and Hon.
C. S. Jones, accompanied by Congress-
man Hicks, visited the postoffice de-
partment this afternoon and bad a
conference with the first assistant post-
master general concerning the estab-
lishing of free mail delivery at Tyrone.
The policy of the postoffice department
does not seem to favor free delivery, as
expressed by General Jones. except in
cities of not less than 20,000 inhabi-
tants Mr. Conrad presented the claims
of Tyrone in a very forcible manuer,
and insisted that, as the office at Ty-
rone had for two successive years
brought itself within the requirements
of the law authorizing free delivery, its
postal receipts exceeding $10,000 per
year, he claimed the duty of the de
partment was very clear.
Postmaster Jones made the same
claim last year, but was refused on ac-
count of lack of sufficient appropria-
tion. The postmaster general did not
decline to establish free delivery, but
intimated to Mr. Conrad that he would
prefer an expresssion of the people on
ile subject by petition, after which he
would make a decision. The party,
after paying their respects to Posimas-
ter General Bissell, called upon Sena-
tor Quay and Hon. James Kerr, clerk
of the house, and these gentlemen were
also enlisted in procuring for Tyrone
ite right under the law, and, in case
free delivery is established, the proba-
bilities would be that the postoffice at
East Tyrone would be discontinued.

Let there be larger mains laid to sup-
ply the town and then there will be no
trouble from the people who live on the
hills and can’t get water more than half

spring for all and when people pay
taxes for it it is quite natural that they
should want it and have it too. Belle
founte is growing and itie ridiculous to
think that the mains that supplied the
town twenty years ago are large
enough to do it now.

——The Good Will Hose Co. of
Howard, which was organized a short
time ago, held a festival in the school
house yard on Saturday evening, July
14. There was a set of knives and forks
and jdoz. tablespoons and 1 doz. tea
spoons chanced off. Mr. George Sny-
der, of Bellefonte, got the knives and
forks, No. 6 drawing them, and Am-
brose Holter drew the spoons, No. 28
being the lucky number. The gross re-
ceipts were a few cents less than $83,00
which will make the net amount about
$56—. When the company was form-
ed there were about twenty-five mem-
bers, but when the festival work was to
be done there were only about half a
dezen of them to be found. At about
7.80 o'clock the Co. had a parade, which
was led by the band followed by the
company with the two hose carts and
700 feet of hose.

——The iron bridge that spanned
Spring Creek at the Nail Works below
town, washed away by the late floods,
has been replaced and isnow in as good
condition as ever. The flood carried
the bridge in tact to the turn, a half
mile below, where it was stranded, until
‘W. B. Maitland’s men took it apart
and rebuilt it on the old abutments.
Little damage was done to it aside from
the bending and twisting of some of the
irons.
——Edna, the dear little daughter
and only child of Mr. and Mrs. Demp-
ster L. Glenn, of Braddock, died on last
Friday and was buried on Sunday. The
little one with her parents spent last
summer in Bellefonte and was admired
and loved by many who will be most
sorry to hear of her death which was
caused by a fall. She slipped on the
pavement and fell fracturing, as it is
supposed, her skull, for while she
lived nineteen days after the accident
and the best physicians in Pittsburg
could not discover a bruise or an in-
jury, she was picked up in a con-
valsion and never regained conscious-
ness.

A New PLATFORM NEEDED.—The
condition of that part of the platform at
the Pennsylvania railroad passenger
station in this place where the hacks
stand is in such a bad condition that it
is altogether out of keeping with the
idea of good repair which has always
charactertized the property of this com-
pany.
The planks are rotted so badly as to
make them dangerous to horses, and
pedestrians especialy, for the platform is
used all the time as the regular pave-
ment is included in it. What is needed
there is a good asphalt pavement, some-
thing that will stand the constant ase to
which ii is subjected.
The company will have to do some-
thing soon and when it is done it is just
83 easy to do it right as any other way.
——We have received from Beezer
Brothers, architects of Altoona, Pennal
& handsomely bound and elegantly illus-
trated book of 180 large pages, entitled
“Architecture practical and theore-
tical.” The volume reflects much eredit
on the authors, inasmuch as they are
very young wen yet. It is now eight
years ago since they left this place, and
the character of this book gives abuadant
evidence of exceptional progress and
success in their profession. An exam-
10ation of the many designs of resi-
dencss, business and public buildings,
churches, schools ect.,, many of which
have been erected during the past three
years, shows that they are doing some
elegant work. The residence designs
illustrated are especinlly noticeable and
beautiful. Their good proportions and
the harmonious arrangement of porch
and roof lines, gives them that truly
noble architectural character in which
dignity may be found even for the most
modest building. On the first twenty
pages appears several articles written by
the Beezer Bros. pertaining to architec-
ture and building materials. The read-
ing matter accompanying the designs is-
well written, and interesting as well as
instructive.
To any one having in contemplation
the erection of a building, whether for
residence or business purposes, and
whether of modest or assuming propor-
tions, this book of Beezer Bros. would
be a veritable treasure, because of the
ideas suggested and information given,
and doubtless many, into whose hands it
falls, will consider themselves under
great obligations to the enterprising
publisHers.
MoDERN GyYPsIES.—A. Jersey Shore
correspondent of the Williamsport
Times says: Monday at noon livery-
man J. D. Bowers and manager of the
Buss Line William Hepburn, with Joa
Bowers and Ed. Crab to look after the
horses and Abe Rodearmel to act as
chief cook, left town with 12 to 15
horses on a decidedly novel trip. The
party have everything required to camp
out in true “gypsy” style. They struck
camp “Bowers,” at Mill Hall Monday
night where they will remain for a few
days, when they will move towards
Bellefonte. They will be joined by
horsemen at Lock Haven and Belle-
fonte, which will increase the number
of horses to 35 head. The object of the
trip is to trade horses, watches, race,
wrestle, run a foot race, or in fact any-
thing one might find in a genuine
‘gypsy’ camp. Arrangements were
not completed for ‘fortune tellers.”
The party reached here yesterday
morning. *They might take Jim Mec-
Culley or Abe. Baum along as fortune
tellers. Either one of these well known
liverymen would be able to tell a tale
that would tickle young or old.
THE CASE OF GEORGE POTTER.--
Last week we published the gist of a
rumor that was afloat to the effect that
George Potter, a son ot John F. Potter,
E:q., of Milesburg, had been found,
with his throat cut from ear to ear, in a
wood near Olean, N. Y. Fearing lest
the report was untrue we did not give a
full account of the case, which the fol-
lowing letter from Mr. Potter, himself,
will now explain :
Miressure, July 15,1894.
Mr. George Meek, Bellefonte, Pa.
My Dear Sir:—In regard to many inquries’
relating to my son George about whether or
nct he was the person killed at Olean, N.Y. I
would say that I am not yet prepared to tell.
I was summoned home from Penns valley, on
Thursday afternoon, and learned the fact that
my son George was missing from his boarding
place in Cross Forks, Potter Co. Pa. The fol-
lowing item had been cut from a paper pub-
lished at Coudersport, Potter Co.
“The dead and decomposed body of an un-
“known man was found in the woods about a
“mile south of Olean N. Y., Sunday afternoon.
“The throat was cut from ear to ear and a
“bloody razor wae found about 40 feet from the
“body.”
I took the 9 o'clock train from this place,
Thursday evening to Lock Haven. Staying
there all night I 1efton the early morning
train on the P. and E. R. R. arriving at Cross
Forks at 6 P. M, of Friday evening. I met at
once at his residence near the depot Mr,
Mears one of the managers of the Lackawana
Lumber Co., who is also postmaster at that
place. He knew George well and spoke of
him in commendable terms as he had em-
ployed him since the beginning of last Octo-
ber and had retained a large lot of mail for
him, letters, newspapers and magazines. I
then saw the gentleman with whom he had
boarded since last October, and stayed all
night with him. Some of the in formation there
found was that he left that place on June 4th,
soon after eating his dinner and has not been
seen or heard of by any one at Cross Forks
since. All of his personal effects were in his
room, justas though he had walked out to
return in a few minutes. His clothing hang-
ing some of them in his clothes press, some
in the room, some in his chest, which had
been forced open and his writing desk was
also opened. A large and almost new note
and bill pocketbook was in his coat pocket
hanging in the room ; one that he seemed to
have alwaye carried when traveling—no mon"
ey in it, but papers some of value to him only,
He had been earning a considerable amount
of money and saving it, his books and ae-
counts show this.
The man with whom he boarded says they
or no one else seems to have noticed him go
away. He did not iatimate of any intentiom
of leaving then or in the future. He had been
in the employ of the Lackawana Company
over two years, and they know of no reason for
him leaving. If the body at Olean, of which
they know no more about than Ido, is George’s
then I am satisfied from what I have already
learned that he was decoyed away.
An hour after I returned home one cf my
twin babes, 17-months old, died, which was
well when I left home. Cause of death, teeth”
ing, which caused paralysis.
I had a ticket from that place back to Lock
Haven reaching there Saturday night at 11:25
which would have left me at that place over
Sabbath ; but some unforeseen power seemed
to impel me home. So I started on foot, before
4 o’clock Saturday merning, without breakfast
and walked 18 miles through the wild moun-
tains of Potter county over an untraveled
lumber road scarcely making the 10 o'clock
trein on the P.and E. R. R. thereby getting to
Lock Haven in time to reach home about 6
o clock P. M. I hope to be able to make furth-
er investigation soon. Respectfully,
Jounx F. Porter.
It was most unfortunate that Mr.
Potter was unable to investigate the
matter further for there can be little
doubt that the body found was that of
his son, who had been away from home
for nearly three years. . If, as indica-
tions seem to point, the body was that
of George Potter the question at once
arises. How did he get to that place,
and was he murdered or was it a sui-
cide ? There was every appearance of
his getting along nicely. He was liked
by his employers, was making consider-
able money and had little reason for
taking his own life. On the other hand
he was in that community alone, was
known to have had considerable savings
and what could have been easier than
for some one to entice him intp the
mountains and kill him. His nature
was not quarrelsome—in truth he was
one of the most inoffensive young men
we have ever known—so that the idea
of a fight ending in his being killed is
not tenable.
Now with these facts to confront us
there is certainly ample reason for in-
vestigating the case, but unfortunately
the father of the boy is not financially
able to find out the truth and it is to be
hoped that friends will step in and help
along the investigation.
FosTER’S PREDICTIONS.—Since Rev,
Hicks called a halt to the general ap-
propriation of his weather prognostica-
tions, that had been made by the news-
papers all over the country, Mr. Foster
has been supplying the wants of the
people who look for warnings in the
phases of the moon and various other
climatic agitators.
Whether there is any accuracy in
these predictions or not, or whether the
people who read them believe in them,
there is still a demand for talks on the
weather and until Mr. Foster says, nay,
we will publish his ideas of how the
elements are acting. In tbe event of his
shutting off, like Hicks, we will be forced
to go back to some of our local wiseacres
who stick their onions and tramp them
down by the signs of the moon and
never fail to get the fringe around their
bald-pates cut in its increase.
Mr. Foster sent outa bulletin on Sat-
urday to the following effect :
“My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent from
the 12th to the 16th, and the next storm
will reach the Pacific coast about the
17th, cross the western mountains by
the close of the 18th, the great central
valleys from the 19th to 2lst and the
eastern states about the 22nd.
The principal feature of the disturb-
ance will be the extensive rain it will
cause, but it will still leave many places
short on rainfall and poorly prepared to
meet the August drought,
The warm wave will cross the west-
ern mountains about the 17th, the great
central valleys about the 19th, and the
eastern states about the 21st. The cool
wave will cross the western mountains
about the 20th, the great central valleys
about the 22d and the eastern states
about the 24th.
The fifth principal storm wave of
July will reach the Pacific coast about
the 23d,,cross the western mountains by
close of 24th, the great central valleys
from 25th to 27th and the eastern states
about 28th. This disturbance will in-
augurate a heated term that will become
very oppressive during the last part of
August.
The warm wave will cross the west-
ern mountains about the 23d, the great
central valleys about the 25th and the
eastern states about the 27th. The cool
weve will cross the western mountains
about the 26th, the great central valleys
about the 28th and the eastern states
about the 30th.

Willie Hess, as he is more familiarly
known here where he spent his bdyhood
days, very ably filled the Lutheran pul-
pit in the absence of Rev. Aikens. Mr.
Hess was always noted for his elocutiona-
ry and oratorieal talents and did not dis-
appoint his hearers. His sermon was a
model of clearness, conciseness and com-
prehensiveness, as he did not preach over
the heads of some of his congregation,
and under those of others. Many were
the favorable comments made on it by
those who bad the pleasure of hearing
him and as he is one of the brightest
young preachers in the Lutheran Synod,
he has had numerous calls to fill pastor-
ate charges, but prefers a professorship in
some institntion of learning.
Our townsman W, J. Meyers last week
royally entertained brother-in-law Frank

delighted with his visits which he says
will be more frequent when he can reach
here by rail, which now appears to bea
certainty. President Frazier and Supt.
Thomas of the B. C. R. R. met our com-
mittee who have the matter in charge on
the 13th inst and had all the required
documents legally executed for the build-
ing of the road which the president said
would be commenced on or about
Aug. 1st. It now appears that the Y. will
be constructed more than half a mile
north of the town just as the road strikes
the Ard and Bailey line, and it looks very
much as though the road some day would
be coniiniied through the middle of’ the
valley. :

It Seems Like a Letter from Home.
ViNeranp, Kansas, July 14, 1894.
P. Gray Meek, Esq., Ed. Dem. WATCHMAN :—
Dear Sir. We receive the WATCHMAN
regularly every Monday morning, and assure
you that its arrival is looked for with pleasure.
It seems like a letter from our old home.
Though it is fifteen years since we came to
Kansas we are still interested. We are think-
ing of paying our native State a visit this fall
and shall be in Bellefonte if we do. Wishing
you success.
I am yours
Mrs. S. R. FUNK.

BRYAN—BARGER.—At Howard, Pa., Jul
12, 1894, by Rev. N. B. Smith, Mr. James I.
Bryan to Miss Melissa Barger both of Boggs
township, Centre Co., Pa.
Mrs. Esther Gordon.
On Friday morning, of May 18, Mrs. Gordon
the aged mother of J. B. Gordon was d iscover-
ed in her bed wrapped in the sleep that knows
no waking. While she had been quite fee-
ble for some time and suffered with the in-
firmities subject to old age still her sudden de-
parture was entirely unexpected. The funer-
‘al was held Monday morning. Rev.C. Mills
conducted the services after which the re.
mains were laid to rest by the side of her life
companion who had preceded her by several
years.
Esther Hoover Gordon was born in Centre
county, Pa., August 15th 1805 and died May 18
1894 aged 89 years 6 months and 3 days. She
was married to John Gordon June 23, 1825
They lived in Pennsylvania until '68 when
they moved to Minnesota where they lived un-
til June 1886, at that time they moved to Stoc-
ton, Kansas, making their home with their
home with their son Bush as he is generally
called. Her husband died in Febuary, 1889, at
the age of 90 years and 2 months, They were
the parents of 14 children, 3 of whom are liv-
ing. Her’s was one of those rare natures that
inspired love in all who came with in
the sphere of its influence, though so very old
she never became childish but retained her
faculities to the last and was a constant reade®
of good books and. papers. Her husband was
a Democrat and was a subscriber for the
WarcnmAN for many years she was one of 17
children all living to be old but two dying in
infancy Jacoband Joseph Hoover. She was born
and raised in Bald Eagle Valley near Unionville
and was great great grandmother of eight
children, little Elsie Petters of Unionvilles
being one. Her connection was the Hoovers,
Fishers and Ways of Bald Eagle valley. *
A Gay Howard Camping Party.
This being the season of the year in which
nature appears in all her beauty and grandeur
it is but natural that it should be selected by
the true lovers of nature to hie themselves
away from the busy cares of life, and seek rest
and pleasure among the beautiful haunts of
nature. On Monday the 2nd a number of the
young people of our little village were early
on the streets, hurridly making preparations
for a weeks stay among the Alleghenies. It
was not long until a large hack, well loaded
with the gay and happy party, was being rapid
ly driven over hills and through the valleys
wending its way to “Laurel Camp” which is
beautifully located at the foot of the Alleghe-
nies, at the junction of Marsh Creek and Lau-
rel Run.
On either side of the ravine in which this
camp was located, were the towering moun-
tains whose sides were thickly wooded with
lofty pines and hemlock, and here and there
a sturdy oak which stood as sentinels over the
little camp, (to guard the ladies from the
possible bear and a fierce’ band of blood-
thirety mosquitoes located in the neighbor-
hood). The streams close by afforded much
pleasure for the angler, as they abound with
the spotted beauties,and to say that rare and
dainty dish, was greatly enjoyed atthe close
ot day only slightly expresses it, when all
had returned to camp, tired and foot-sore,
from wandering over mountain sides, gather-
ing wild flowers, gunning, fishing &c, a large
“camp fire” would be built, hammocks hung,
and each and all would relate their adven-
tures of the day and after being closely ques-
tioned in regard to the narrow escapes and
brave deeds, the musical instruments
would be brought forth and the beautiful
strains from the mandolin and guitar would
peal forth in that dense forest more charming
than before. Many beautiful vocal selections
in which the entire party would join were also
rendered. These amusements would be kept
up until the wee hours of the morning
when all would retire, to gain fresh strength
and vigor for the morrow.
Those composing this happy party were
Mrs. Blanche Weber, Misses Alice Cooke,
Mary Mitchell, Lula Hensyl, Maud Hopkins,
Bertha Knoll, Annie Hensyl, Will Weber,
Jas. Heverly, W. R. Gardner and Al Irwin.
The camp was also favored by the following,
visitors, Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Long, Mrs. . C.
F. Smith, Misses Julia Smith, Gertrude Benni-
son and Mary Allison. Even the birds ap-
peared to join in the welcome of those visitors
and make their camp life one long to be re-
membered. At early dawn and close of day
these little feathered beauties would perch
themselves in the tree-tops and branches and
peal forth their silvery notes until their little
throats would almost burst. When time came
for breaking camp all thought the time too
short and jcined one and allin saying the
week spent at “Laurel Camp’ was one of the
happiest of their lives. and one long to be re-
membered. JAKE.
