i.
WaAT CouNciL pip MoyDAY NIGHT.
—-At its regular semi-monthly meeting,
on Monday evening, the borough coun-
cil transacted the following business :
The Street committee reported con-
siderable work done on the streets late-
ly, repairs that have made the Lamb
street bridge temporarily safe, and that
the men who have been working for the
borough, breaking stone, struck Monday
morning when it was proposed to pay
them 50cts per cubic yard instead of by
the day. Such men should not receive
a penny of aid from the poor funds. If
they do not intend to give full value in
work for the assistance they receive
their names should be stricken off the
overseer’s list. This thing of the over-
seers of the poor keeping big, strong
able bodied men the whole year round
is getting to be entirely too much of a
burden to the tax payers and it is time
we demand & more business like conduct
of the poor accounts. When men are
needed to work on the streets the over-
seer should furnish them from his list of
those who are drawing help from him.
And when once at work they should
not be paid a cent unless they work for
it. There is certainly no justice in mak-
ing one laboring man, who is thrifty
enough to work and get along, and has
to earn every dollar he gets, pay taxes to
be given out to a lot of lazy, good for
nothing fellows who want to be paid for
doing nothing or live as parasites on
their neighbors.
The Water, and Fire and Police com-
mittees had nothing of importance to
report. The Market committee reported
the collection of $11.70. The Village
Improvement committee reported that
the grand jury had approved the bill
providing for a new iron bridge over
Spring creek on Lamb street and that
the court would approve it at any time.
The suggestion that council act on it at
once is a good one and should be follow-
ed out, as a new bridge is needed badly
there. We would suggest that when the
plans are drawn for the proposed bridge
that the committee, Messrs. Williams,
Dartt and Brockerhoff, have a care that
there is no such a botch made of it as
was made of the one on High street.
There should be no truss work at all
above the level of the drive way.
Among the miscellaneous business ;
there was the appointment of a commit-
tee, Messrs. Beaver, Garman, and Ger-
berich, to look up the plans for a cen-
tennial celebration of Bellefonte in
1895. A shortage in favor of the Trea-
surer of $8,849.91 was reported and
council authorized him to negotiate a
loan for the amount until the 1st of
Cctober,when it is thought there will be
enough turned in from the tax duplicate
to pay it. The sewer on Lamb street
was reported as a nuisance and a bad
crossing as well asa sorely neglected
drive way were reported on Thomas
street. The borough engineer offered to
prepare an accurate map of the borough,
as many copies as wanted, for $250. A
profile map of the streets to be $100 ad-
ditional. Upon motion of Gen. Beaver
the street committee was empowered to
look up a cheaper means of lighting the
streets of Bellefonte than the present
contract affords. Council then approved
bills to the amount of $580.93 and ad-
journed.
MicaAEL STROEM'S HORSE RECOV-
ERED.—Last Wednesday night a good
horse, harness and comparatively new
buggy were taken from the stable of
Michael Strohm, at Centre Hill. The
following Friday afternoon Charles
Meyer and Stanley Ryan, two eighteen
year old Milton boys, were in jail
charged with the theft, the particulars of
which are about as follows :
Young Meyer, who is ason of Howard
Meyer, was raised in Potter township,
this county, where he has many rela-
tives. On the 25th of August he, with
his friend Ryan, came up to visit rela-
tives about his former home and on last
Wednesday evening, having decided to
return to Milton, the boys left the place
where they were visiting ostensibly to
go to Centre Hall to remain all night
and catch the early train home next
morning. They did not do this however.
Instead they went to the stable of
Michael Strohm and secured the horse,
buggy and harness. Then they started
off toward Union county.
When Mr. Strohm discovered his loss
next merning he telephoned in all direc-
tions a discription of his property and
later in the day he received the informa-
tion that two boys had been seen driving
such a conveyance down the valley.
This aroused suspicion as to the two
Miltonians and an investigation disclos-
ed the fact that they had not been to
Centre Hall at all, neither had they been
passengers on the train that morning.
Accordingly Mr. James Strobm went to
Milton, Thursday afternoon, where it |
did not take him long to find out that |
the two feilows had driven thither, but
instead of having a dun horse they had
traded it off en route for a little black
mare. The livery stable where the trade |
had been made was hunted up and there, |
sure enough, was Strohm’s dun horse, |
with his mane and tail both cropped. |
Mr. Strohm then got out a warrant
for the boys, but Ryan had fled to Wil- |
liamsport, where he was apprehended |
latsr. They were both brought to jail |
here to await trial. The property was
all recovered in & good condition.
——The public school at Feidler will
open next Mouday.
——150,000 people attended the
Grangers picnic at Williams Grove.
——C. W. Smith, of Beech Creek,
has the contract for doing the carpenter
work on the Disciple church at Mill
Hall.
——F. O. Hosterman, of Millheim,
and L. E. Stover, of Haines township,
have purchased J. C. Smith’s hardware
store in Millheim and will take charge
of it Oct. 1st.
——W. F. Wise, the Tyrone scenic
artist, lost a pile of money in the
spectacular production of Herculaneum
in Philadelphia. His property was
sold by the sheriff the other day.
——The production of Willard Spen-
cer’s opera “The Little Tycoon” by
Houtzdale amateurs is said to have been
fine. Editor Williams, in his Philips-
burg Ledger, went into ecstasy over it.
——The Reliance fire company of
Philipsburg is preparing to celebrate
the centennial anniversary of the set-
tling of that town. The event will oc-
cur some time during the present
month.
—— John Bottorf, a sixty-year old
resident of Tyrone, died in that place
last Friday afternoon. He had been a
blacksmith by trade and was the first
postmaster of East Tyrone. Deceased
was born in this county and leaves a
gister, Mrs. Martha Ray, who lives near
Lemont.
.—The Hebrews of this country on
October 1 and 2 will celebrate new year
or the 5655th year, for which event ac-
tive preparation is in progress. On Oc-
tober 3rd the feast of Guldolyah, Rabah
will be celebrated. A number of holi-
days occur later in the month, all of
which will be duly celebrated by the
Hebrews of this place,
——The headquarters of the Pennsyl-
vania Reserves, during the National en-
campment at Pittsburg next week, will
be room 3, Conestoga building, corner
of Wood and Water streets. All com-
rades can have their mail addressed to
that place and it will be looked after. A
good programme has been arranged for
the entertainment of the Reserves.
——The annual convention of the
Centre county Christian Endeavor
societies in this place, on Wednesday
evening and Thursday, attracted quite a
number of delegates. The sessions were
held in the Presbyterian chapel, on
Spring street and proved, quite interest-
ing. Ministers from all over the county
were in attendance and addressed the
meetings, while Rev. H. G. Furbay, of
Tyrone, and State Secretary George
McDonald, of Altoona, lent their efforts
to its attractiveness,
——Mr. D. W. McCloskey, one of
Curtin township’s staunchest Demo-
crats, left his home on last Wednesday
morning at 4 o'clock and arrived in
Bellefonte a few minutes after 7 o'clock,
a distance of sixteen miles, apparently
very little fatigued. Mr. McCloskey is
fifty-six years of age, and the feat of
walking that distance in so short a time
is one that very few of our young men
would attempt. He gives a most glow-
ing and enthusiastic account of the po-
litical situation of Curtin township and
says the Democracy of old Curtin was
never in a more healthy condition than
at present.
——The opening attraction at the
opera house Wednesday evening was
“Romeo and Juliet,” presented by the
Jane Coombes company. Jane looked
old enough to have been Shakespeare’s
orignal love maiden, indeed she was old
enough to have known better than to
attempt a character so far beyond her
capacity. Her Romeo was enough to
turn her auburn wig grey ; the orches-
tra, a Bellefonte aggregation, was
equally as bad and the stage manager
handled the scenery in such a ridicu-
lous manner that the audience was kept
in an uproar all the time. It was an
ideal transition from the sublime to
the ridiculous and though the audience
had assembled to see a good play
they were amused with the farcical
nature of the entertainment presented.
There was one man in the company
who deseryes credit for having carried
out his part in a very good vein. He
was Henry Mitchell as Mercutio.
MurDER IN Lock HAVEN.—Joseph
Moore, of Lock Haven, and Amos
Winchester, of Wayne, got into a fight
in Peck’s pool room in the former
place, Wednesday night, the result
being that one man is dead and an-
other not expected to live.
Both men had been drinking and
when Winchester drew a large hunt-
ing knife on Moore; Wm. Reeder, an
electrician in Lock Haven, went to the
latter’s assistance. Winchester turned
on him, severing his wind pipe with
one slash of the knife and then cut
horrible gashes in Moore’s body, about
the kidneys and in his throat. Reeder
died in a few minutes and Moore will
hardly recover. Winchester is in jail.
Court NEWS FOR THE WEEK.—We

set, throwing him out with the above
result. The case is still on trial.
Toe MuseuM.—A dime museum at
the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, on Wed-
nesday evéning, netted the association
between forty and fifty dollars. There
were freaks of all kinds on exhibition
and every one who was present seemed
delighted with the entertainment. All
of the exhibits stood on high pedestals
and the place looked quite like a first
class freak show.
Of course a show of this kind would
have been incomplete without a fake
of some sort and the people who saw
“the merry-go-round” are the ones who
have no reason to complain of not
having been ‘taken in.” The exhibits
were: The mimic and fancy clog
dancer, Burns Crider ; Siamese Twibs,
Blanche Cock and Grace Mitchell ; the
Bearded Lady, Mr. W. B. Maitland ;
the Lion Tamer, Edward Hoy; Wild
Man of Borneo, Charles Bosner ; the
Pin Cushion Man, E. Grenninger ; the
Dwart, Lotta Spigelmeyer ; the Glass
Hater, Henrietta Butts; the Fat Wo-
man, Harris Heylmun ; Albino, Jessie
Laurie ; the Gypsies, Paul Shaeffer and
Tessie Lyon ; the Tight Rope Walker,
Elsie Weaver ; Three-handed Boy, Mau-
rie Jackson ; the Giantess, Allie Mait-
land ; Monkey boy, Luther Hughes,
Living Skeleton, John Bower ; Snake
Charmer, Annie Curtin ; the $10,000
Beauty, Bert Bayard; Tom Thumb |
and wife, Lee Walker and Margaret
Garman ; the Spotted Man, Austin
Brew ; Armless Woman, Marguerite
Potter ; Lady Sampson, Newton Bailey ;

bach ; the Educated Fleas ; and
the Bodyless Woman, May Cri-
der. Misses Catharine Harris and
Elizabeth Blanchard ran a first class
silhouette photographic establishment in
one corner and raked in the shekels
—— We had a pleasant call from Mr. |
Lew C. Beattie, of Mackeyville, last |
Thursday evening. He had been at-|
tending the band tournament and came :
on to Bellefonte to spend a few hours
here.
For the WATCHMAN.

Die Eitere fihle schtolz un froh—

“Ei, guck juscht wie des Kind doch hot”
No hsaagt die Aunt gschwind, “Tut,tut, tut!”
Was hot dar Onkel saage welle?
Des waer net schwaer sich vorzeschtelle;
Doch wann ’'s aa wohr waer, ’s is net gut
Dass mar alli Wohret saage dhut.
Ich glaab ’s waar besser, in d’r Dhat,

Un dass sei Fraa ihn abgecut
Mit ihrer gschwinde “Tut, tut, tut.”
Des “Tut, tut, tut” recht aazewenne
Will ich dir ’s in ’s Gedechtniss brenne :—
Loss net alles raus was wohr is ;
Schlechte Sache, dreckige Shtories—
So Sache losst mar besser sei—
Geht an de Drecklecher rasch vebei.

A HoreEL TO BE BUILT AT HECLA
Park.--Last week the Central Railroad
of Penna. purchased the brick flour mill
of Isaac Strunk, located at Hecla park,
on the line of the rail-road and the trans.
fer has caused much comment as to the
use the company intends making of the
property. According to some reports the
building will be converted into a repair
shop, where the rolling stock can be
“kept in good condition, but the theory
that seems to have the best foundation
is that it will be fitted up for a hotel. It
is the idea to make the park a profitable
resort and with a hotel there the attrac-
tiveness of the place will be greatly en-
hanced.
Tae CoMING FAIR AT BroOK PARK,
LewisBURG.—The forty-first annual
fair of the Union County Agricultural
Society will be held at Brook Park,
Lewisburg, on Sept. 25, 26, 27 and 28.
Excursion rates on all rail-roads. It is
one of the oldest organizations of the
kind 1n the country, and with increased
age its exhibitions become better. This
fact will be demonstrated this year more
than ever before, as the management is
composed of enterprising gentlemen,
who have formulated a list of premiums
that will prove very attractive to own-
ers of fast horses, live stock raisers,farm-
ers and farmers’ organizations, manu-
facturers and others. Full particulars
are given in pamphlets issued by the
Society, which can be had on applica-
tion or by addressing G. E. Long, Sec-
retary, Lewisburg. Pa. The public is
assured that this year’s exhibition will
prove pre-eminently attractive.
