LukeNsacE—BuLLock.—St. John's
Episcopalean church, corner of Lamb
and Allegheny streets, was the scene
of a beautiful wedding service Wednes-
day evening. It was the marriage of
Frank Kreamer Lukenbach, of Philips-
burg, to Katharine Whiteman Bullock,
of this place. The pretty church was
crowded with people all eager to witness
the nuptials and promptly at half-past
six o'clock the tones of the Lohengrin’s
bridal chorus rolled out from the pipe
organ the north doors of the church
swung slowly open and the bridal party
entered. The ushers, Messrs. C. E.
Turnbach and Harry Green, of Phil-
ipsburg, John Vogt, of Tyrone, and
James Harris, of
the maids Misses Emma Mont-
gomery, a cousin of the bride, and Miss
Charlotte Spiglemeyer of this place,
followed by the bride, on the arm of her
uncle Mr. Franck Montgomery, were
was attended by Mr. John T. Fryber-
though impressive ceremony of the
church, was carried out, Rev. Wright,
the rector of St. John’s officiating.
Then the strains of Mendelssohn's
grand wedding march swelled through
the edifice and the newly made bride
and groom departed.
A wedding supper was served the
bridal party at the home of the bride,
on north Allegheny street, after the
ceremony then Mr. and Mrs, Luken-
bach departed for a tour.
The wedding attracted more than
usual interest in town, owing to the
well known young people whose union
it consummated. The bride was
gowned in white ottoman silk, with
duchess lace, diamond and veil, while
her maids looked sweet in white mus-
lin de soie with point trimmings. The
conventional evening dress gave an air
of grace to the gentlemen, the party be-
ing effective in every detail. The church
had been ornamented with tropical
plants by a professional florist and the
whole surroundings of the beautiful
structure were in perfect harmony with
the brilliancy of the occasion.
The groom is the oldest son of Mr.
A. Lukenbach, of thie place, and for
years has been in the banking busi-
ness. Atone time he was a trusted clerk
in the Wm. F. Reynolds & Co., bank
of this place, but resigned to accept a
tellership in the Moshannon bank of
Philipsburg. This latter position he
has filled with fidelity for several
years. He is a young man of most ex-
cellent character and should make the
happiest of brides. Mrs. Lukenbach
is the only daughter of Charles R,
Bullock, Dec'd., a young woman
whose sweet nature has made her a
very popular girl in Bellefonte. Her
marriage will leave a sphere unfilled
here which can only be recompensed
by the thought that she is the happy
bride of a worthy groom. Her future
home has already been furnished in
Philipsburg where she will grace the
house her husband has prepared.
UNIVERSITY EXTENSION LECTURER.
—-Prof. Stockton Axson, late of the
University of Lemont, will deliver what
we hope will be the initial one of a se-
ries of lectures to be given in the Univer-
sity extension course. The lecture will
be delivered in the Court House and
will be free of charge, everybody being
cordially invited. The idea is to try to
procure a series of reputable lecturers
under this plan and it can be done easily
if the people only turn out and give it
some encouragement. Seven eminent
lecturers can be procured so that the
seriber one. To-night is the time, don’t
miss it.
DavGHTERS OF ANDREW GREGG
Hurt.—On last Saturday as Misses
Annie and Mary Gregg, daughters of
Andrew Gregg, of near Centre Hall,
were driving down the Nittany moua-
tain toward their home, their horse
frightened and ran away, throwing
both girls out. They were both se-
riously hurt and rendered unconscious
by the fall, and when they did not re.
turn home at the time they were ex-
pected, friends went to look for them.
The search was rewarded by finding
the voung ladies lying by the roadside,
both unconscious and the elder with
blood oozing from her head. They
are both recovering.

| ty about two hundred gentlemen assem-
bled in the court house, last Thursday
| night, to talk the thing over and hear
the further reports of the committees
that had only partially completed their
duties when the meeting on the previous
Tuesday evening was called.
The committee on location reported
that the McCoy & Linn meadow north
of town would be large enough if two
adjoining plots of five acres, owned by
John P. Harris and the Rhoads estate
could be secured. This would give a
ground of twenty-one acres there. The
only option the owners would give was
a five years lease with privilege of re-
newal. Rental not to exceed $650 per
annum, A regulation half-mile track
could be put on it provided the course
of the creek is changed. The cost of
such work and the building of the track
was estimated at $8,000.
The Humes field south, of town, was
reported too small, but by taking an
adjoining plot, making twenty-seven
acres in all, as much room as necessary
could be had. This ground will cost
$300 per acre and the estimated cost of
grading for track was put at $5,000.
The other available location is the ad-
joining Valentine property which was
reported on favorably but no option had
been secured on it.
The committee on plans for permanent
organization then reported as follows :
Name—*“Centre County Agricultural
and Industrial Association.
Purpose—For the advancement of the
agricultural and industrial interests of
Centre county.
Officers—President, two vice presi-
dents, secretary, treasurer and an execu-
tive committee composed of seven mem-
bers to be selected from various sections
of the county. The president, vice presi-
dents, secretary and treasurer to be ex-
officio members of the executive com-
mittee.
Capital Stock--The Association to be
incorporated under the laws of the com-
monwealth of Pennsylvania regulating
and governing corporations of the first
class. The amount of capital stock of
the Association to be $15,000, consisting
of one thousand shares of the par value
of $15 each,
Short speeches for the good of the
project were then made. J. C. Meyer
Ksq., on behalf of the committee that
had been appointed to go to Lewisburg
to look up the plan of its fair organiza-
tion, that though supported by the
smallest county in the State it had been
a paying venture from the start.
Messrs, M. Fauble, J. WW. Gephart,
Clement Dale, Thos. A. Shoemaker and
Geo. T. Bush were then appointed a
committee to solicit subscriptions. After
this the meeting adjourned to meet again
at the call of the president.
BELLEFONTE DEMOCRATS LINING UP
FOR BATTLE. —The Democrats of Belle-
fonte have wakened up to a realization
of the necessity of organization for the
fight in November. Oa last Friday
night about a hundred of the party
workers met in the law offices of
Orvis, Bower & Orvis and organized a
Democratic club to be known as the
Wm. M. Singerly club of Bellefonte.
The meeting was called to order and
the following officers elected for the en-
suing year: President, Hammon
Sechler ; vice presidents, H. Y. Stitzer,
Ed Brown Jr., and Al. S. Garman;
secretary W. Galer Morrison ; treasurer
Geo. W. Jackson; finance committee
Wm. J. Singer, Jacob Runkle and J.
C. Meyer. Upou taking his seat Mr.
Sechler made a brief talk urging the
Democrats to put forth every effort to
roll up a larger majority than ever in
Old Centre.
Upon motion the finance com-
mittee was instructed to procure a
suitable room in which meetings can be
held every Tuesday evening. It re-
ported later that the assembly hall in
the Reynolds bank building would be
opened at once. The delegates to the
State convention of Democratic clubs at
Altoona to-day were then elected as fol-
lows: J. C. Meyer, Ed Brown Jr.
Frank Waltz, Mortimer O’Donohue,
Patrick Garrity, Rob’t J. McKnight,
Hon. Fred Kurtz, John Trafford and J.
L. Dunlap, with the first named gentle-
man as delegate at large. After this
business a brief address was made by D.
F. Fortney and the meeting adjourned
until Tuesday evening.
The second meeting of the Wm. M.
Singerly club met in its hall in the Rey-
nolds bank building on Tuesday even-
ing. Owning to the death of Gov. Curtin
no speeches were made but the details of
the proposed trip to Altoona wera an.
nounced. The club will leave Belle-
fonte, accompanied by the Bellefonte
band, on the early train and spend the
entire day in Altoona, returning this
evening. Hickory canes will be carried,
symbols of the true Democracy of the
county. The finance committee report-
ed sufficient funds collected to defray all
campaign expenses and the most flatter-
ing evidences of a wholesome benefit to
the party were manifest.
Hereafter meetings will be held every
Tuesday evening 1n the club rooms.
Good speakers will address them eetings
and all are earnestly invited to attend.
EEE TR Rl MEST SS IOS:
Continued from Page 5.
EARLY POLITICAL CAREER.
The reputation he had made as a
speaker in 1840, in behalf of General
Harrison, gave him leading rank on the
stump in 1844. His successes in this
campaign stamped him as a man of not
only great oratorical power but of keen
wit and humor, and of political foresight
far beyond his vears. From this cam-
paign’ Mr. Curtin’s political advance-
ment dated, and his reputation as an ad-
vocate grew.
In 1848 he was a Presidential Elector,
and his efforts in behalf of General Tay-
lor were everywhere recognized as con-
tributing to his election. In 1852 he
was again upon the electoral ticket, and
in the forefront of the battle for the
Whig party. In 1854 his leading posi-
tion as a man and politician was so well
recognized that his party desired him to
become its candidate for Governor. He
declined the honor, but gave
his best efforts to the election of
Mr. Pollock, who, after his suec-
cess, appointed him Secratary of State.
In those days this position was one of
greater power and influence than at
present, for in addition to the regular
duties of Secretary of State those of Su-
perintendent of Public Schools were ad-
ded, and under his administration the
school system of the State received a
strong impetus in the direction of its
modern developement.
In the years from 1854 to 1869, when
the Republican party was springing into
life as a result of the agitation of the
slavery question, he naturally took
a leading position in the stirring
events which attended the birth
of the new party, and in 1860 was
made its candidate for Governor. This
honor was the more conspicuous because
of the all important questions then
pending, and because the future of the
party, virtually born with his nomina-
tion, depen ied almost entirely upon his
success.
AT CHICAGO IN 1860.
The election of Lincoln depended up-
on the two doubtful States, Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana. Both of them held
their State election in the October pre-
ceding the November election, and it
was therefore essential, nationally, that
these two States should declare for the
Republican candidate to insure his elec-
tion. When the Convention met at Chi-
cago, it was apparent that Seward was
the choice of a large majority of the dele-
gates. But it was morally certain that
Pennsylvania could not be carried for
the Republicans with Seward as the
Presidential candidate ; for it had been
charged, and was believed, that he had
been elected Governor of New York as
a Whig, upon an understanding with
Bishop Hughes that the school fund of
the State was to be divided with the
Catholic educational institutions. Hence
the native Americans in the Republi-
can party, who came to it after the death
of the Know-Nothing party, were bit-
terly opposed to him. It will thus be
seen that at the outset of Mr. Curtin's
career as the [Republican nomines for
Governor, his own position as well as
the position of his State attracted the at-
tention of the whole country.
The Pennsylvania delegation in the
Presidential Convention of 1860 was
instructed ‘for General Simon Cam-
eron, with John McLane, of
Ohio, as its second choice. The
necessity of carrying Pennsylvania in
October for the success of the Republican
ticket in November being so apparent,
Curtin went to Chicago with A. K. Me-
Clure chairmen of the Republican State
Committee where he met Henry S. Lune
of Indiana. It would be hard to picture
the important part. which Mr. Curtin
and his position played in the nomina-
tioa of Mr. Lincoln. Heand Henry S.
Lane, of Indiana, decided the contest in
Lincoln’s favor.
While the Convention was largely in
favor of Mr. Seward, most of the dele:
gates outside of New York were willing
to forego their preference, and nom-
inate a candidate acceptable to Mr. Cur-
tin and Henry S. Lane, the candidates
for Governor in the two October States.
ELECTED GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA.
The Presidential Conve ntion
over, Mr. Curtin turned his
his attention to the duties of his own
campaign with characteristic energy,
and his brilliant personal canvass is still
remem bered with enthusiasm. He was
elected in October, by a large majority, as
was Henry S. Lane in Indiana.
The wisdom of the selection of Gover-
nor Curtin from his party stand point was
justified from the day he assumed the
position to which he had been elected,
in the intelligence with which he dealt
with the grave questions forcing them-
selves upon him as the Executive of a
great State, with the nation upon the
threshold of a sectional war. Ha was
guided by wise counselors and was him-
self discreet, conservative, and able in
the discharge of his important and deli-
cate duties, during the trying days when
all were endeavoring to peaceably pre-
vent rebellion. He was patriotic, firm,
and even stubbornly courageous
when all efforts failed and the war
came,
A PATRIOTIC INAUGURAL.
In his inaugural address in January,
1861, Governor Curtin said :
“Noone who knows the history of
Pennsylvania and understands the opin-
ions and teelings of her people, can just-
ly charge us with hostility to our breth-
ren of other States. We regard them
as friends and fellow countrymen, in
whose welfare we feel a kindred inter-
terest ; and we recognize in their broad-
est extent all cur constitutional obliga-
tions to them. These we are ready and
willing to observe, generously and fra-
ternally in their letter and spirit with
unswerving fidelity, Ours is a National
Government. It has within the sphere
of its action all the attributes of sover-
eignty, and among these are the right
and duty of self preservation. It is bas-
ed upon a compact to which all the pec-
ple of the United States are parties. It
is the result of mutual concessions,
which were made for the purpose of se-
curing reciprocal benefits. It acts di-
rectly on the people, and they owe it a
personal allegiance. No part of the peo-
ple, no State, nor combination of States,
can voluntarily secede from the Union,
nor absolve themselves from’ their obli-
gations to it. To permit a State to
withdraw at pleasure from the Union,
without the consent of the rest, is to
confess that our Government is a failure.
Pennsylvania can never acquiesce in
such a conspiracy, nor assent to a doc-
trine which involved the destruction of
the Government. If the Government is
to exist. all the requirements of the Con-
stitution must be obeyed; and it must
have power adequate to the enforce-
ment of the supreme law of the land in
every State. It is the first duty of the
national authorities to stay the progress
of anarchy and enforce the laws, and
Pennsylvania, with a united people,
will give them an honest, faithful, and
active support. The people mean to
preserve the integrity of the National
Union at every hazard.”
SERVICES DURING THE WAR.
The civil war tollowed close upon
Curtin’s inauguration as the Chief Ex-
ecutive of the State, and when the first
gun was fired, he sprang to the duty of
raising troops for the General Govern-
ment, with an energy and spirit un-
equalled by any other State Executive.
He encouraged enlistments in every
possible way, and in an eloquent war
speech just after the fall of Sumter he
kindled campfires upon almost every
hearth in Pennsylvania, and called
more men into service than were asked
for by the General Government.
Governor Curtin’s administration was
conspicuous for the beneficent and mer-
ciful policy adopted to temper the terri-
ble scourge of war. He was ceaseless
in his devotion to the interests and the
wants of those whom the State had giv-
en for the national defence. He went
to the field and visited them in their
camps, not with pomp and ceremony,
bat to encourage them by personal in-
tercourse. In the hospitals he
gave words of hope to the-
wounded and suffering, and bore mes
sages of affection to and from loved ones
at homes. No letter from a soldier at
the front whether officer or private, was
ever received without being promptly
answered. It mattered not how impos-
sible was the request, if it could not be
granted the reason of the refusal was
kindly told, In every time of suffering
and discouragement the soldier felt that
he who represented the power and maj-
esty of the Common wealth at home was
mindful of bim. Wherever were sick-
ness, or wounds, or death, there was the
official agent of the State to perform
every duty to the living and the last
rites to the dead. The bodies of the
dead were brought back to sleep with
their kindred, and their names enrolled
in the lists of the martyred patriots.
Nor was the solicitude of the Govern-
or confined to the soldier. He beheld
his family broken, and left without sup-
port and protection by his death. The
desolate hearthstons and the means of
the bareaved excited his sympathy, and
he applied himself vigorously to the orig-
inating of a system of care and instruc-
tion for the orphans of the fallen slain,
which should make the State their guar-
dian and supporter until of sufficient age
to provide for themselves, He was suc-
cessful in his humane and patriotic en-
deavors. The Legislature gave an at-
tentive ear to his appeals, and voted
liberally millions of money for this
worthy object. The fruit of this
expenditure will be most abundant. A
body of well-instructed and morally
trained young men and women will be
given to the Commonwealth, instead of
an equal number of the offspring of
ignorance and want, which otherwise
would almost inevitably have been the
result. When he shall be laid in an
honored grave, no prouder line will be
found inscribed upon his tombstone than
this : “He made the orphans of the
soldiers the children of the State !”’
RE-ELECTED GOVERNOR.
In 1863, Governor Curtin was, from
his arduous labors, broken in health,
and was compelled to give himself, for
weeks at a time, to the exclusive care of
an eminent physician in New York.
President Lincoln, appreciating his ser-
vices, and recognizing the necessity of
a change of climate and employment,
formally tendered him a first class for-
eign mission, which the Governor sig-
nified his willingness to accept when his
term should expire. But in the mean-
time he was nominated for re-election,
and relinquishing his intention of going
abroad, he accepted the call of his fel-
low-citizens, and again entered upon
the canvass. Thousands of voters were
beyond the limits of the C,mmon-
wealth, facing a still defiant foe; but
they generally favored the re-election of
Governor Curtin ard he was elected by
a ‘returned’ majority of about 15,000.
It was the aspiration of his friends
that he should be made United States
Senator at the end of his second Guber-
natioral term, but the influences which
had ever been hostile to him prevented.
Soon after General Grant's election,
Governor Curtin was nominated and
confirmed as Minister to Russia, and
spent neatly four years at St. Peters-
burg.
A LIBERAL REPUBLICAN IN 1872.
Minister Curtin returned home in
1872, and took part in the liberal Re-
publican movement which nominated
Horace Greeley. He was very promi-
nently spoken of for the second place on
that ticket, and was the choice of the
Pennsylvania delegation in the
Greeley Convention for President. His
connection with the Liberal Rapublican
movement, and the fact that his power
and influence 1n the Republican party,
which were eminent while he remained
in the country, but which had been
broken during his absence, carried him
into the Democratic party.
He was a member of the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1872-73, and for a
few years after had little to do with
politics.
HE JOINS THE DEMOCRACY.
When he wearied of the quiet of busi-
ness life and longed for politics, Gover-
nor Curtin found a place in the Demo-
cratic party, and was nominated for
Congress in 1878 when he was defeated by
the Greenbackers. He was nominated
azainin 1880 by the Democrats of his
Congressional district, and was elected for
two terms retiring in 1887 near the close
of his 71st year. In Congress Governor
Curtin was a faithful public servant,
and = attracted much public at-
tention. At ons tims he was Chairman
of the House Foreign Affairs Commit-
tee.
HIS CLOSING YEARS,
After leaving Congress Governor
Curtin pursued a quiet life at his moun-
tain home this] place, respected and
esteemed by people of all classes. His
familiar figure was an every day
sight on our streets. Tall and erect asin
youth he would walk about for his daily
exercise. Until within a very short
time previous to his death ke kept up a
lively interest in the politics of the
county and it was his influence that
made his friend Dr. J. H. Dobbins the
post-master here under the former
Cleveland administration and not until
he had given evidence that it would
prove satisfactory would the department
recommend the appointment of the pre-
sent official. His time was occupied in
lookirg after his business here and dis-
pensing charities. No more pleasant
hour could be spent than a talk with the
ex-Governor, he always loved
young people and gave them friendly
counsel whenever an opportunity pre-
sented itself and those who enjoyed his
intimacy will cherish his charming per-
sonality as long as memory lasts.
Taomas Mires 18 Deap.—One of
