ings were past saving and only a part

| A Grear GATHERING OF MUSI-
' craNs.—The band tournament and pic-
nic of the bands of Centre and Clinton
counties which was held at Hecla park,
on the C. R. R. of Pa., yesterday, un-
der the direction of the Bellefonte band,
attracted ten thousand people to that
resort, It was the initiatory step of
what will become a permanerdt event in
the future and from which great good
will undoubtedly result to the various
musical organizations participating.
It was a gala day for the band men
and when the morning trains had all
arrived the following bands were found
to be on the grounds: —
Coleville band, Milesburg band, Zion
band, Aaronsburg No. 1 band, Mill-
heim band, State College band, Good
Templar and Military bands from Lock
Haven, Rote band and the Mill Hall
| band.
During the morning the woods re-
sounded with music, all the bands seem-
i ing to vie with one another in the effort
to attract the largest audience. There
was plenty of noise aud such a jumble
of notes that it was difficult to appre-
ciate apy, but when the hour of one
o'clock came and the contest for the sil-
ver cornet and silver slide trombone be-
gan there was music of a very high or-
der.
THE CONTEST.
In order that all might be fair and no
ground left for dissatisfaction the fol-
lowing judges had been selected ; Wil-
liam A. Calhoun, a Lewisburg band
master ; Harry S. Krape, band master
of the Repasz band of Williamsport ;
and Joel Ettinger, band master of the
famous Milton band. All are men who
had no affiliation with any of the or-
ganizations contesting and when the
event was ready to begin they retired in-
toa tent and remained hidden from
view until the last performance was
made. In this way they knew the con-
testantis only by the number by which
they performed and consequently made
the grades without the slightest bias.
The grading was on a percentage sys-
tem ten points having been taken as
follows : attack, ensemble, tone, shad-
ing, forte and pianissimo, tempo, accel-
rando, accentuation, legato and stacato.
perfect.
The bands ali played the overture
“Crown of Victory” by Ripley and for
the most part it was handled very well.
They played in the following order
after having drawn their number on
the program by lot :
Grade
Milesburg band, 21 pieces.......cseesenes .“ 79
Aaronsburg No. 1 band 17 pieces......... iy 74
State College band, 22 pieces.......uueee 4
Good Templar band of
Lock Haven, 25 pieces.... "
Millheim band, 21 pieces. . 72
Coleville band, 22 pieces.......uiiisisens . 5214
Lock Haven Military band 32 pieces... 45
Zion band, 20 pieces............... sirses tents 62
The judges having completed their
grading announced that the Miles-
burg band had won first prize,
a silver cornet and that the State
College band was second, taking the sil-
ver slide trombone.
A feature of the morning's entertain-
ment was the parade of all the bands
around the grounds playing the W. M.
B. march by Hall,
After the contest there were concerts
and dancing at the pavilion where
Meyer’s orchestra furnished the music.
The entire day was enjoyably spent by
those who were there and it was the
unanimous verdict that it was profita-
ble one to the musicians.
A tournament association had long
been looked forward to as beneficial by
band men of this county and it was an
easy matter to perfect an organization
which will be permanent. The follow-
ing officers were selected to serve dur-
ing the coming year.
Immediately before the contest Mr,
Meyer called a meeting of the leaders of
the various bands in attendance. He
was chosen temporary chairman and
stated that the object was to organize a
permanent association looking to annual
meetings in the future. It was the
sense of the members that it would be
necessary to elect a president and a
secretary who are to meet some time dur-
ing the winter and adopta constitution
and bylaws, name the organization and
designate the time and place of the
next meeting. ~~ The officers chosen
were : President, George A. Miller, of
Lock Haven ; vice president John F.
Harter, directer of the Millheim band
and Secretary, S. W. Calderwood of the
Mill Hall band.
Much credit is dune Wm. T. Meyer
master of the Bellefonte band, for his
efforts in effecting this organization and
our home band has reason to be proud
over the successful conduct of this first
tournment.

noon —or twenty years ago to the very
hour—the house that previously stood
upon the same foundation, and was then

Tue AueusT TERM OF QUARTER
Sessions :—The opening of court,
Monday morning attracted an average
crowd of attendants to this place and to
the disgrace of the county the docket
revealed an unusual number of petly
criminal cases that should never have
been carried here to burden the county.
After the organization and the reports
of the constables the grand jury, under
the foremanship of Geo. M. Boal, of
Potter township, retired to go over the
bills.
During this lull in the proceedings
Judge Furst took the opportunity to in-
struct all constables to see that the law
regarding the destruction of the Canada
thistles is enforced. He ordered that all
public roads be carefully inspected and
that wherever found, the weed should be
destroyed. If property owners do not
do it the constables are authorized to
cut the weeds and charge the work to
the persons on whose land they are
found. This is a commendable action
and the judge will be doing an everlast-
ing good to the county if he persists in
having his order enforced. Canadian
thistles are entirely too common in some
parts of the county and they should be
exterminated.
The regular work of the court then
began as follows :
Commonwealth vs, Margaret Sulli-
van, of Powelton, for assault and bat-
tery. The defendant was accused of
throwing slop on the daughter of the
prosecutor. Not guilty. Hugh O’Don-
nell, the prosecutor, sentenced to pay
two-thirds the cost and Mrs. Sullivan
the other one-third. O'Donnell had to
go to jail for failure to arrange for costs.
Commonwealth vs. O. Mason, assault
and battery. The verdict of the jury
was guilty and the sentence was $25
fine and costs of prosecution.
Commonwealth vs. E. F. Barner, of
Huston township, assault and battery.
Found guilty and sentenced to pay a
fine of $25 and costs of prosecution.
Commonwealth vs. Charles H. Yunk-
er, assault and battery. Found guilty
and sentenced to $20 fine and costs of
prosecution,
Commonwealth vs. Louis Lose, as-
sault and battery, Ed. Foster, prosecu-
tor. Both men are hack drivers ; this
case grew out of an altercation that oc-
curred at the P. R. R passenger depot
on Aug. 10th, in regard to hack posi-
tion at the depot platform. Lose
struck Foster with a whip. The jury
found Lose guilty. Sentence, $1 fine
and costs.
Commonwealth vs. Aaron Mallory,
adultery, Mrs. Dougherty prosecutrix.
After hearing part of the evidence; the
court quashed the proceedings and in-
structed the jury to return a verdict of
not guilty and county to pay costs.
Commonwealth vs. John Klinger,
horse stealing. The defendant’s attor-
ney asked that the indictment be
quashed as the crime was committed in
1891, and was therefore cut out by stat-
ute of limitation, a verdict of not guilty
rendered.
Commonwealth vs. Jacob Test, of
Philipsburg, maintaining a nuisance in
the borough of Philipsburg. Defend-
ant sentenced to pay $1 fine and costs.
Commonwealth vs. John Bowers, T.
F. Farner and Jene Hoover, assault
and battery. Farner plead guilty. $25
fine and costs. Hoover plead not-guilty
but was convicted and sentenced to pay
$1 fine, costs and undergo four months’
imprisonment in jail. Jobn Bowers es-
caped from the officers and has not been
apprehended yet.
Commonwealth vs. A. M. Garver and
Alice Garver, assault and battery with
intent to kill. Prosecutor, Josiah Dale.
Verdict, not guilty and prosecutor pay
costs.
Commonwealth vs. G. J. Woodring,
violating liquor laws. Nol. pros. en-
tered.
Adam Oswalt plead guilty to larceny,
prosecutor, C. G. Kennedy. He was
sentenced to pay $1, costs of prosecution
and imprisonment in jail for four
months.
Commonwealth vs. Chas. Johnson.
Hannah Forsel presecutrix. The case
was brought against defendant, for in-
decent assault on the two and a half
year old daughter of the prosecutrix.
The litigants are all Swedes from the
vicinity of Snow Shoe. Johnson’s only
defense was the plea that he had been so
drunk he did not know what he was
doing. The child's condition, when
her cries attracted her mother, gave
every evidence that a very brutal as-
sault had been made upon her. Guilty
of assault and battery was the verdict.
Commonwealth vs. Frank Davis, f.
and b. Annie Simpson prosecntrix.
This case was rather a singular one, the
girl, who hails from Julian, having had
a married man named Mahew arrested
for her condition. He had been in jail
until friends bailed him out and then
when she took the stand she swore she
did not know who was the father of her
child. This statement enlisted the in-
terest of the judge and upon further
questioning she exonerated Mahew and
blamed Davis. Ha was held in his own
recognizance for appearance at the No-
vember court.
Commonwealth vs. S. H. Chrystoff,
f. and b. Elizabeth Szecskas prosecu-
trix. Guilty and usual sentence.
Commonwealth vs. Harvey = Heaton,
‘Guilty and the usual sentence. ¢
f. and b. Alta Shultz, prosecutrix. |

Toe VALENTINE FURNACE AGAIN
IN Brast.--At exactly ten minutes
past nine o’clock on Monday morning
little Lydia Valentine Bond, the three
year old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Bond,
of Baltimore, and grand-daughter of
Robert Valentine, secretary and treas-
, urer of the Valentine Iron Co., applied
the torch to the bundte of kindling that
had been piled at the opening of the
great furnace in this place. In an in-
stant, it seemed, the flames went roar-
ing up and there had beea a beginning
of work ata plant that haa been idle
ever since the coke strike began, last
spring.
Hundreds of men are employed at
this furnace wheu it is running in all
departments and this resumption of
work will gladden the hearts of a small
army of workers. Through the inter-
est which its managers take in their em-
ployees the mines were kept running at
intervals during the entire suspension of
the furnace and whenaver it was possi-
ble the rolling mill was kept in opera-
tion so that, even while the fires were
out in the furnace, most of the men were
able to make some money in other de-
partments.
The result of this arrangement has
been to give the company about two
months stock of ore ahead, but with the
furnace in blast and the roiling mill
runnieg full time there will be a
brightening up out in that vicinity that
will do one’s heart good to witness. The
mill stopped working from Sunday un-
til Wednesday out of respect to the ven-
erable Jack Reese, one of the oldest
heaters in the country, who died of
dropsy on Sunday.
It is not known how long this blast
will last, but it is to be hoped that the
fires wiil not go out until the lininz in
the furnace is worn out from hard
usage.
RoMEO AND JULIET.—Now get down
