ketch you if you don’t lock cut.”
BorougH CouNcIL.—-At the regular
| meeting of the Bourough Council on
Monday evening the Street Committee
reported the Lamb street bridge in bad
condition and unsafe for traveling.
The Water Committee reported the
water works in good shape and working
fourteen hours a day, and recommend-
ed the laying of a 12-inch pipe from the
works to increase the water supply in
the northern part of the town. The
laying of this pipe would save a pump-
ing of 216,000 gallons of water per day
with the stream pump, and would af-
ford an unlimited supply of water in all
parts of the town. The recommenda-
tion was unanimously adopted.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported progress in the matter of getting
the council chamber building repaired.
The Market committee report $11.50

mittee was instructed to repair it tem-
porarily and make it safe for the pre-
sent.
One member of the Nuisance commit-
tee reported a number of nuisances on
jail hill in the shape of hog pens, and
suggested the passage of an ordinance
prohibiting the keeping of hogs inside
the borough limits.
The Street committee submitted the
profile of grade as made by the borough
engineer for Linn street with the re-
commendation that it be adopted, which
was accordingly done.
The Street committee was instructed
to attend to the complaint of Mr. Fort-
nay that the water from Allegheny,
Linn and Curtin streets, in times of
heavy rains, ran through the stone
school house yard and washed it badly.
THE BLAME SHOULD Go WHERE IT
BrLoNGs.—Adjutant General Green-
land at Harrisburg on Monday stated
that the militia men will be paid for
their services at the encampment at
Gettysburg as soon as the pay rolls
have been received at his department
and approved. The Harrisburg Patriot
says : Governor Pattison and Adju-
tant General Greenland disclaim all
blame on the part of the national
guard authorities for the delay in ship-
ping the troops from Gettysburg. Con-
cerning the complaint of rations, Ad-
jutant General Greenland says Colonel
Curtin took extra pains to visit the bri-
gades to ascertain whether they had suf-
ficient food supply and was assured that
all were satisfied, and especially was
this so in his report on the first brigade.
The matter will not be allowed to rest
until the real offenders are personally
brought to light.
Ex-SENATOR PEALE oF Lock Hav-
EN DECLARES HIMSELF 0oUT OF POLI-
TICS.— At the anpual pumpkin picnic
held in Nippenose Valley last week, ex-
Senator Peale delivered an address in
which he said in reference to the news-
paper talk of his entering the contest
for State Senator, that his ambition had
run its course. He was done with poli-
tics. He knew of no office within the
gift of the people he wouid accept. In
1877 when he was named for State Sena-
tor by his constituents the nomination
cost him but $15—honest legitimate ex-
penses. But so corrupt have politics
become since that time that a nomina-
tion for the same office now would cost
fully $5,000. As he was addressing an
audience composed of both parties he
did not confine himself to his own party,
but attacked political corruption in gen-
eral. The ex-Senator’s remarks were
listened to with great interest.
HARTMAN—-GARBRICK.—On the 15th
of August the wedding bells rang mer.
rily at Hecla Park. The occasion of it
wus the marriage of Mr. Calvin S. Gar-
brick and Mary Hartman, which took
place at noon on that day at the home
of the bride's parents, Rev. W. K.
Diehl officiating. The day itself sym-
pathetically smiled in brightest sun-
shine upon the happy pair. After the
ceremony a sumptuous feast was served
and enjoyed by all present. Later in
the day tbe bride and groom left in
their own conveyance for an extended
trip. “Cals” superb team of bays is
able to cover many miles in a few days.
All his friends unite in congratulating
him in securing for himself such a
charming companion, who will help
him hold the reins in the future, and the
best wishes of a host of friends follow
the happy pair. *
The report that Gardner, the ab-
seconded cashier of the Altoona Second
National Bank, had been heard from
| and that he intended to return and de-
| liver himself up, has not, as yet, been
| confirmed. In addition to the arrest of
| clerk Miller for waking false entries in
Harry L. Calbaugh,
tha bank books,
on a similar charge.
SPER
—J. K. Rohn has been appointed |
postmaster at Eagleville.
—— The Lock Haven picnic at Hecla
Park last Saturday numbered about six
hundred attendants.
——The body of I. J. Thompson,
who died in the hospital at Warren,
was taken to Lemont last Saturday for
interment.
——Mr. and Mrs. Will H. Keller, of
Lancaster, are rejoicing over a young
son, who was born the day his grand
futher, the late Col. D. S. Keller, was
buried.
—— Charles Jobson, of Mill Hall,
was in Altoona last Friday when Bank
Examiner Miller shot himself. He
says that the excitement over the occur-
ence was intense.
——Rev. Charles T. Steck, formerly
of this place, but now of Shamokin,
was a candidate for either Congress or
Assembly in Northumberland county,
but the result of the county convention
does not show that he was nominated for
either of those offices.
——The Democratic Convention of
Lycoming county, which met in Wil
liamsport on Tuesday, made the follow-
ing nominations : Congress, William
B. Holloway ; state senator, Hon. J.
Henry Cochran ; members of assembly,
Otto G. Kaupp, H. H. Rutter and Wal-
ter E. Ritter, the latter renominated for
the third time.
——Some days ago the children be-
longing to a family named Shafer, at
Salona, were playing in a tub of water
and their mother called them away. A
few minutes afterwards a blast was set
off in the quarry near by when a large
stone was thrown acd fell right in the
tub. Had it struck one of the children it
was large enough to inflict serious if not
fatal injury.
—— One of the things which is puz-
zling the people of Altoona is the ap-
parent lack of any effort to catch Gard-
ner. As he certainly had between $75,-
000 and $100,000 in cash with him, his
capture ought to mean a great deal to-
ward rehabilitating the bank. Nothing
now is seen of the Philadelphia woman
who was staying here previous to Gard-
ner’s flight,
The Centre Hall Reporter, re-
fering to the fact that 1895 will be the
centennial anniversary of the building
of the first house in Beilefonte, which
was its commencement as a town, sug-
gests that the people of the place should
make a grand centennial demonstration
next year, and call in the outside world
to celebrate with them the hundredth
anniversary of the town.
—— Counterfeit silver dollars of the
coinage of 1891 are reported to be in cir-
culation in Lock Haven. The counter-
feit has a good ring and is noticeably
larger than the usual coin. The spur-
ious dollar can easily be detected from
among a lot of good dollars by the im-
perfect workmanship. The phrase *‘In
God We Trust” is blurred, and the eagle
and goddess are not as finely cast as on
the genuine coin. The banks detected
them first.
—-The Lock Haven Express speaks
of a visit of General Hastings, last week,
to Nittany Valley and the scenes of his
boyhood. Accompanied by Mrs. Hast-
ings he was met at the Central depot
by Mr. George Weymouth, of Lock
Haven, who owns the old Hastings
farm in which the General spent his
early days, to which they went and
where dinner was served. Places of in-
terest in the valley were visited and old
memories revived.
The Veteran. Club of Centre
county will hold their annual picnic at
Hunter’s Park, on the line of the Belle-
fonte Central Railroad, on Saturday,
September 1st. It is held earlier than
usual in order not to conflict with the
National Encampment at Pittsburg.
The arrangements for transportation
provide for one fare tor the round trip
on the Tyrons division and the P. & E.
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
and of the Central Railroad of Pennsyl-
vania ; special train over the Pennsval-
ley road to Coburn in the evening.
Regular trains will carry all others
home the same evening.
——1In the interest of local history
sites cf the old forts that wera built in
Pennsylvania as defences against the
Indians are being marked. This is be-
ing done by an organization called the
Indian Forts Commission, and Mr. Jay
G. Weiser, of Middleburg, Snyder coun-
ty, and Milton S. Lytle, historian of
Huntingdon county, have visited the
sites of four of the old forts in that coun-
ty, and will make a future visit to an-
other. They were as follows: Fort
Shirley, near Shirleysburg; McAlevy’s
Fort, in Jackson township ; Anderson’s
Fort, near Petersburg; Lytle’s Fort in
Porter township, and Hartsock’s Fort
in Penn township. The purpose in lo-
the ledger clerk, hasalso been arrested |
cating the sites of these forts is that they
may be marked with a stone or monu-
' ment as historical landmarks,
FosTER SAYs WE WiLL HAVE a
WagrM FALL AND A LATE WINTER. —
My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm waves to cross the continent from
August 16 to 20 and 22 to 26. The next
will reach the Pacific coast about the
26th, cross the western mountains by the
close of the 27th, the great central val-
leys from the 28 to the 30th, and the
eastern states about the 31st.
The disturbance will be of more than
usual force and severe local storms may
be expected. As this is also an earth-
quake date, it cannot be determined
whether the force will find relief through
a great earthquake in some earthquake
country or a great storm, or be divided
and cause moderate storms and moder-
ate earthquakes.
This disturbance will be at its greatest
within the six days, August 28 to Sep-
tember 2, inclusive, probably on Sep-
tember 1. If it reaches its climax on
that date its effects will be felt on the
Pacific coast and off the Atlantic coast,
as the storm waves will be due on those
meridians at that time.
Very high tides will occur about
these dates. Professor Falb, of Vienna,
has, if the papers report him correctly,
selected Aug. 16 for the great tidal
waves. I would have selected August
29 to September 2, probably September
1, as the date of dangerous tidal waves,
and I am of the opinion that the papers
wrongly reported his dates.
From 17th to 19th of August will
probably develop severe disturbances in
various parts ot the world und produce
hight tides, but nothing to equal those
from August 28 to September 2.
September will be a very warm
month, with no killing frosts, except in
the extreme north, where light frosts
may occur from the 29th of August in
the far north-west to September 3 in the
far northeast. During the last days of
August and the 1st and 2nd of October,
frosts will do some damage in the ex-
treme northern portions of the United
States. September will also be a dry
month as an average over the United
States and Canada. Locally the rain-
fall increase in many of the drouth dis-
tricts, and decrease where rains have
been plentiful.
Winter will probably come in late,
and a long, warm period of fall weather,
with an unusually beautiful Indian
summer, may be expected.

Insists THAT IT WAS MURDER.—
Assistant U. S. District Attorney Grif-
fith insists that the death of Bank Ex.
aminer Miller at Altoona was murder
and not suicide. He said to a Pittsburg
interviewer on Wednesday :
“The murderer might easily have
been inthe room without President
Levan seeing him. The president is
very near-sighted, especially without
glasses. The murderer could have stepped
into the vault, or have made his way
into a back room that was seldom used,
and afterward mingled with the crowd.
The powder grains on Miller's head also
indicated he had not shot himself.
They plainly showed the muzzle of the
revolver had been held a foot and a
half or two feet away from him, which
a person in firing at himself would
scarcely do.
¢ Another thing,” Mr. Griffith said, ‘is
that there were two revolvers in the
drawer lying side by side on the bottom
of the drawer. After Miller was dead
one was found on the top of the other,
and the under one was wrapped ina
newspaper of the date of the day before.
It would have been absolutely impossi-
ble for Miller to have placed the revolv-
er whera it was, if he shot himself.
BeecH CREek PicNic :—Oa Satur-
day, August 25th, the Beech Creek om-
pleyees will hold their annual picnic
and games at Hecla Park. It will re-
quire fifteen coaches to move this party, |
which usually numbers one thousand.
For pure wholesome fun, these Beech
Creek people have a wide reputation |
and it is safe to say that no jollier |
crowd of merry makers will have visited
Hecla this season than this rollicking
party of railroad psople. Aside from
tho usual games there will be tub races,
dancing, pie eating matches and the
like.
——President Levan, of the Second
National Bank of Altoona, isa relative
of merchant tailor Levan of Bellofonte.
——The concourse of Odd Fellows at
the celebration at Rebersburg last Satur-
day was large and the parade was im
posing.
-——Rev. Robert H. Kline will con-
duct theservices at St. John's Episcopal
church next Sunday, August 26th,
morning and evening.
—-C. 8. McCormick, E:q., a well
known attorney of Lock Haven, an-
nounces himself as a candidate for State
Senator on the Democratic ticket.
——The Democratic judicial confer-
ence of this District will meet at Ty-
rone on the 31st inst, and will nomi-
nate C. M. Bower, Esq., for President
Judge of the District, as he has the con-
ferees of both Centre and Huntingdon
counties, .
——The Republican conference for
this judicial district will probably be
held in the first week in September.
The chances between Love and Lovell
are even, as each feels disposed to hold
on to the last. There is not likely to be
much love lost between them.
——L. Olie Meek, whose careful and
diligent work in the composing and job
rooms of this office raised it to its pre-
sent high standard of excellence—a
standard it means to sustain, has bought
Grieb and Nidick’s store at the State
College and gone into the hardware
business. The place is not a large one ;
but if it is possible to help it thrive by
booming a business and conducting it in
an honest and wide awake manner, he is
the one who will do it.
——A later phase of the Altoona
Bank embezzlement was the arrest, on
Monday, of Mayberry Miller, one of the
clerks of the Second National Bank un-
der Cashier Gardner, on a charge of
making false entries in the books of said
bank, by which Gardner was assisted in
his dishonest action. The arrest was
made at the instance of George M. Cof-
fin, chief of the government bank exami-
ners wlio came on from Washington and
took charge of the bank, Miller, who
{ was held in the sum of $5,000, is 23
| years of age and unmarried and came to
Altoona from Sandy Ridge, Centre
county, where he yet owns stock inher-
ited from bis father in the Sandy Ridge
Fire Brick works. Aside from being
wild and addicted to the drink habit to
a great degree, not much of bad can be
said about him, and he is, perhaps, no
worse than many others of his age.

——Between 9 and 10 o’clock last
Monday evening a fire was discovered
in the barn ot Albert Gummo, who
resides near Furst’s in Nittany Valley
mill. Spontaneous combustion is sup-
posed to be the cause of the fire. Short-
ly before the fire was noticed, ason of
Mr. Gummo heard an explosion and ran
to the house and informed his parents.
A few minutes afterwards the barn was
ablaze. The farmers in the neighbor-
hood assisted in getting the horses and
cows out of the burning structure, but
the flames gained such headway that
the barn, wagonshed, corncrib, the sea-
son’s crops, farm implements and four
calves were burned. The buildings
were new, having been erected two
years ago. The loss to Mr. Gummo is a
serious one, and is estimated between
$3,500 and $4,000. He had about $2000
insurance. 0
——The theory that Bank Examiner
William Miller might have been mur-
dered in the Second National Bank has
been abandoned by everybody but Assis-
tant United States District Attorney
Griffiths. He still believes there are cer-
tain features uf the case which look as
if Miller were not a suicide. The loot.
ing of the bank by ex-Cashier Gardner to
the extent ot $100,000, and the shooting
of Bank Examiner Miller while investi-
gating the matter, are twin morsels for
all the gossips in Altoona.
~——There will be a festival at Marsh
Creek, on Saturday, September 8th, for
the benefit of the Marsh Creek Baptist
Mission church. All are invited to at-
tend and aid in a good cause. The fes-
tival will be held in the grove near the
