A NEw YEAR AT THE PENNSYL-
vANIA STATE CoLLEGE.—The opening
of a new scholastic year at The Pennsyl-
vania State College, on Wednesday
morning, was fraught with an unusual
significance, because of the marked ad-
vance in the number of students that
applied for admission to the institution.
Last year the members of the faculty
were to a degree surprised that notwith-
standing the general business depression
that affected all portions of the country
the roll of students increased from 281
to 316 but the most sanguine expecta-
tions, founded on that increase, were
eclipsed Wednesday when the students,
old and new, reported for entrance.
The corps of professors and instructors
has changed somewhat since last year,
the most noteworthy being these : Prof.
G. G. Pond, who spent the year in Ger-
many, is back to take up his work at
the head of the Department of Chemistry.
Dr. Runkle has arrived from Iowa.
Prof. Pattee, the new head of the Eng.
lish work, comes from Dartmouth Col-
lege. Among the other new men are
Mr. Farnsworth, of Harvard, assistant
in Modern Languages ; Mr. Larned, of
the University of Wisconsin, assistant
in Electrical Engineering ; Mr. Tudor,
of Jobn Hopkin’s University, assistant
in Mathematics ; Mr. Sellew, of Cornell,
assistant in the Preparatory Department.
Miss Tredley, the new Librarian, is a
graduate of the famous Dewey Library
system in New York city.
In addition to the new men, Messrs.
Rebhun, Mattern, Hunter, and Brenne-
man, graduates of the college, have been
made assistants in various departments.
These appointments bring the number
of the teaching force up to 43.
Many changes about the main build-
ing meet the eye of the old student. The
summer months have given time for the
introduction of an extensive ventillating
gystem, which will add materially to
the healthfulness and comfort of both
dormitories and class rooms. Improve-
ments of other kinds have been made so
that the college grows in equipment and
beauty continually. That it is becom-
ing better known throughout the coun-
try is attested best by the continued in-
crease of the number of students. Thus
far there have been 287 students entered
with enough applications for places to
(run the number to nearly 400. The
Freshman class alone will number more
than 125.
In athletics the college will maintain
its enviable position on the foot ball
fleld. Among the new men there is said to
be some excellent material out of which,
with the old men who have returned,
manager Spence hopes to selecta strong
eleven. A training table is to be es-
tablished so that every care can be given
to the players. This year games will be
played with strong elevens and it is
hoped that the blue and white of
State will wave victoriously afte,
every contest. In general athletics
more will be done this year than ever
before and next Spring base ball will be
taken up with an interest that has not
been felt at the college for some years.
Walker, Butler’s crack pitcher, has en-
tered school, and as several other play-
ers of repute are to be found among the
new students a good team in the Spring
will not be surprising.
McQuowN THE RepuBLICAN NoMmI-
NEE FOR SENATOR.—The conferees of
the Republican party of the Centre-
Clinton-Clearfield district met in the
parlors of the Bush House, in this place,
yesterday afternoon and nominated M.
L. McQuown, editor of the Clearfield
Raftsman’s Journal, on the first ballot.
The counties were represented as fol-
lows : Centre by A. T. James, of Phil-
ipsburg, W. I. Fleming, of Bellefonte,
and F. H. Clemson, of Benore. Clinton

S. Grow and Geo. Shull, of Lock Ha-
ven. Clearfield by Howard Hartswick
E:q., W. Clarke Miller E:q., and ¥.
H. McCulley. ;
On the first ballot Messrs. Fleming
and James, of Centre, voted for Mec
Quown giving him 5 to O. A. Harvey,
the Clinton candidate’s, 4. Clemson, of
Centre, voting for Harvey.
Tae Last or Courr WEEK, —In
our report of the court proceedings last
week we published «everything up to
Thursday evening. Only two cases came
up afterwards. They were those of Isaac
Raven vs. the Millheim turnpike com-
pany to recover $15,000 damages for a
crushed ankle received from being
thrown from a vehicle on that therough-
fare. Plaintiff having claimed the road
was too narrow for passing. An award
ot $5,000 was given him.
John Rockey vs. Central R. R. of
Penna. An action for damages to farm.
He received a verdictin the amount of
$1,486.
Cur 1x Two By A Train.—Clara
the sweet little daughter of Frank John-
son, who lived here a year ago, ran in
front of a train at Sunbury, on Mon-
day, and was cut in two. Her remains
were brought to this place Wednesday
and taken on to Zion for burial. When
| residents of this place Mr. and Mrs,
| Johnsen lived on east Bishop street. He
' was a brakeman on the local freight
' running between here and Sunbury.
——The looted Second National bank
of Altoona will probably open for busi-
ness next week.
——Tyrone boys have fun at the ex-
pense of the cow catchers up there by
ringing an old cow bell around in the
alleys.
——The Philipsburg borough coun-
cil voted the Clearfield traction company
exemption from taxation for a period of
ten years.
—— Sinking valley farmers have re-
ported eighty-one cattle missing. As
they were all pasturing on the Alle-
ghenies they are supposed to have died
of Anthrax.
——Wahile drilling for a more abun-
dant water supply the DuBoise water
company struck a copious flow of salt
water at a depth of 235 feet.
a strong odor of gas also.
—— George Hutchinson, of Warriors
There was |
Mark, who was sergeant-at-arms of the
House of Representatives in 1891, is be-
ing talked of as a possible deputy secre-
tary of the commonwealth should Hast-
ings be elected.
——A masa Winchester, the Wayne
desperado who murdered one man and
nearly fatally stabbed another in a Lock
Haven pool room last Wednesday night
waived a hearing for trail at court. It wag
done to avoid the excitement that would
have attended a hearing.
——The farmers ot Sinking and Canoe
valleys had a fine tine at the barn rais-
ing on the farm of ex-sheriff Thos. K.
Henderson, near Morrell, in Hunting-
don county, on Friday. A big dinner,
lots of fun and a quickly raised frame
were the results of the day’s party.
——A cow belonging to Thomas Bar-
ber, of Huntingdon county, swallow-
ed a table fork some time ago. Last
week her owner noticed something pro-
truding from her body just back of her
Jeft fore leg. Upon examination it
proved to be iio prongs of the fork,
which was straightway removed and
the cow is well.
——Old mother Huntingdon is all
worked up over a scandal that is likely
to become public gossip in that town
within a few days. A wronged husband
has caught his wife in her unfaithful-
ness and demands $100 from her lover
or vows he will prosecute him for alienat-
ing the wife’s affections. The fellow
does not own a hundred and can not
borrow it, so the delicious (?) morsel will
soon be in all the gossip’s mouths.
——At Faubles’, the largest exclusive
clothing store in Centre county, the fall
and winter lines of goods are attracting
much attention. The manner in which
some ready made clothing is finished
now-a-days is equal to the out-put of
most merchant tailors and people who
want to be well dressed on little money
can find exactly what they are looking
for at one store in this place, at least.
Such a store is a great advantage to any
town and Bellefonte has reason to con-
gratulate herself that she possesses a
clothing establishment as extensive as
Faubles’.
——Robert J, the famous pacing
horse that has made such remarkable
time within the last two weeks, break-
ing the world’s record, was bred and rear
ed at Williamsport by R. J. C. Walker.
When Mr. Walker went to Earope he
sold all his horses except Robert J, and
he gave him to his trainer, Champ
Brown, who entered the colt in his first
race in Altoona. He got his first record
of 2 22} at Albany when he was 3 years
old. He is now 6 years old. Brown sold
him for $1,500, and is probably kicking
himself for it at this instant for to-day
two more ciphers at the right of that
figure would hardly buy him.

C. L. BurriNgToN IN THE Torts. —
On Friday of last week C. L. Buf-
fington, formerly of Milesburg, was dis-
charged from the employ of the Balti-
more produce and commission company,
doing business in Altoona, because he
was drunk and unfit for work says the
Altoona Times. That night he was
arrested at his home in Tyrone and
committed to jail in Hollidaysbarg in
default of $1,000 bail. He is charged
with having taken $300 of his employ-
er’s funds, his peculations having begun
April 12th, N early every week there-
after he helped himself to extras by
depositing a less amount at bank then
he had been given to leave there.
Mr. Buffington is well kno wn heres
since he was at one time book-keeper
for Alexander & Co. lime and coal deal-
ors of this place. His wife, with three
children, live in Tyrone.
A FararL WRECK oN THE P. anp E.
Near Lock HAVEN. —The P. and E-
construction train leit Lock Haven to
go north cn schedule time, lust Saturday
morning, and had just reac! ed the curve
on the Bridgen’s farm, two miles north
of that city when a south bound freight
train crashed into it. It had been cus-
tomary for the construction train to
back up to Ferney and there take a sid-
ing until the freights had passed, but on
this fatal morning it had not reached
that point when the heavy freight round- |
ed a curve and crashed into it before an
alarm could be given.
The engine of the freight train plowed
clear through the cabin car of the work
train in which were sixteen men, all of
whom were caught in the wreck except
flagman John Carroll and John Maley,
who had been on the lookout and barely
had time to call to their comrades to
jump, before the crash came. When
the engineer of the freight saw that a
collision was inevitable he blew an
alarm whistle, put on the emergency
brakes and he, with his fireman, jumped.
The work train was made up of about
six flats and the cabin and was com-
pletely telescoped.
Harry and Robert Simecox, who were
on the other side of the river at the time
of the wreck, rowed across and helped
rescue the injured from the perilous
positions many ot them were in. Lock
Haven physicians Ball, Hayes, Watson
and Armstrong, arrived on the scene
soon after and the Bridgens home was
turned into a hospital. There the injur-
ed were carried. They were James
Kane, fractured thigh ; Thomas Green,
bad scalp wound and disjointed ankle;
John T. Crowley, bad scalp wound;
Washington Smith, scalp wound ; Geo.
Bush, injured in the head and bruised
leg ; Edward Bressley, sprained arm ;
Martin Tyne, badly bruised in back,
head and leg ; Thomas Lonergen, bruis*
ed on head ; jumped from second flat
car ; Warren Zellers, cut in head, feet
and leg bruised.
Two men, Jeremiah Sheehan and
David Forsht were killed. The former
t was found on top of the demolished
engine with the right side of his face
horribly torn, an ear off, an ugly gash
in the back of his head and the left leg
broken. James Kane was sitting astride
the dead body. Sheehan leaves a widow
with two children.
Young Forsht was the eighteen year
old son of engineer David Forsht, of
Lock Haven. His body was pinioned
under ona of the flat cars. It had to be
jacked up and the body dug out. The
unfortunate young man did not die
urtil after his body had been extricated.
His sufferings were terrible.
The cause of the wreck is not known.
The work train is supposed to have been
running on schedule time and engineer
Wayne Simcox, of the freight, claims
he was running on his schedule also,
though it was unathoritatively stated
that his train was ahead of the schedule
and running without orders, else the
construction train would have reached
Ferney, its usual siding, without wreck.
AN UNIQUE BUILDING. —The new
armory, at the corner of Spring and
Lamb streets, that is to be the home of
Co. B, 5th Reg. N. G. P. when com-
pleted will be a novelty so far as Belle-
fonte buildings are concerned. The
original intention of building it of rough,
blue lime stone, so as to give the work
an appearance of having been thrown
together without caro of lines or smooth-
ness of surface, having been abandoned
because of failure to procure the stone,
the work from the first floor level is be-
ing finished in what is known as ‘‘reck’
brick-work.
Frank Wallace and his sons, of Miles-
burg, bave the contract and are hurry-
ing the building along as fast as skilled
workmen can do it. Enough of the walls
have been laid to give an idea of what a
beautiful building it will be when finish-
ed. The brick are all either split in two
or chiseled off before being used and
with the jagged edges out produce a
massive appearance that is very pleas-
ing to the eye. The red mortar in
which they are being layed making it
look like one solid piece of material.
Already plans are shaping for the de.
dication of the armory. Co. B will
open it with an immense military re-
ception. The Secretary of War, Daniel
Lamont; Governor Pattison and staff
Adjutant General Greenland, General
‘Wylie and staff, of the Second Brigade ;
Colonel Burchfield and staff, of the
Fifth regiment; Company D, of Wil-
liamsport, and a number of others,
prominent in military circles, will be in_
vited. With the rate the work is now
progressing there is every reason for the
belief that the dedicatory services can be
held during the latter part of Novembér
or early in December.
The armory and the new Brock-
erhoff building, on Allegheny street,
will be two valuable additions
to Bellefonte’s list of substantial
large buildings. And both are novelties
from an architectural and material of
composition point of view.
——DFriday Louis A. Droffner, gen-
eral delivery clerk in the Williamsport
post-office, was arrested for tampering
with the mails. He confessed having
taken monay out of letters.
—— While a U. S. marshall was tak-
ing Abe Ober and Jac. Weiser, from
Williamsport to the Western peniten-
tiary the former tried to escape at Ty-
rone. When they ate supper at the
Ward house, Monday evening, the of-
ficer removed their handcuffs, After
the meal Ober made a break for liberty
and would have gotten away, but he
fell down a step on the porch of the
{ hotel and was caught before he could
get up.
| AND tHE LIAr's NAME Is REUBEN
Too.—The Galeton Gazette says that
old Uncle Reuben Persing, of Elk run,
' three miles east of that place, has one of
| the queerest curiosities in the shape of a
| cat it has ever seen. It has the hind feet
{of a lamb and the perfect fore feet of a
ground hog. It has fine feathers on the
tip of its tail, and silky wool on 1ts neck
and head. It roosts with the chickens
and lives principally on clover and buck-
wheat.
WortH VisiTING.—Among the ex-
hibits that will attract attention at the
Granger's picnic, at Centre Hall, next
week, will be that of Mr. George Bald-
win, the expert gardener of State Col-
lege. He will have space in the Phila-
delphia building where he will exhibit
a rare collection of palms, ferns, drae-
cinas and other beautiful potted plants,
all of which he will offer for sale at
surprisingly low prices. Don’t fail to
see the exhibit even 1f you don’t intend
buying.
Heck MAN-KREAMER. —At noon on
Wednesday, Jennie the oldest daughter
of Mr. S. W. Kreamer, a well known
Centre Hall merchant, was married to
Samuel D. Heckman, of Lock Haven.
The ceremony was performed at the
bride’s home in the presence of a num-
ber of invited guests. The groom is an
