MRS. JOHN M. FUREY. Dropsy caused the death of Mrs. John M. Furey, at her home near Pleusant Gap, last Thursday morning at eleven o’clock. She had been ill for some time and her advanced age of 68 years made it impossible for her to withstand the disease. Deceased leaves several dren with a husband to mourn her death.

A ForMER CENTRE COUNTIAN IN TrouBLE.—Last Saturday’s papers con- tained a telegraphic account of the ar- rest of Thos. A. Lucas, at Scranton. He is wanted at Valparaiso, Ind, for swin- dling and old lady out of $2750. Tom Lucas is well known here in Bellefonte aud was formerly a resident of Howard, where his father, Reuben Lucas, resides now. The story of his trouble runs about as follows ; While engaged as an instruc- tor of a short hand school in Chicago, Lucas became acquainted with Lilly Irwin, who lived with her grandmother at Valparaiso, just over the line in Indiana. He became a regular visitor at old Mis. Owen’s home, and she thinking he intended marrying her grand daughter entrusted him with money to invest for her. His specula- tions were profitable and as long as his attentions to Miss Irwin continued the old lady wae pleased to have him re- invest her earning. But the story runs, that when the investment had netted $2,750 Lucas decamped and was not heard of again until he turned up in Greenfield, Mass. where he married a Miss Hammersley, a pretty girl whom he had met at the World’s Fair. They located in Scranton where Thomas had a good engagement in a School of Mines. There he was arrest- ed and on a requisition was taken to Indiana. We trust he will be able to show himself guiltless of the charge. LAraYETTE BADLY BEATEN.—Con. trary to the expectation of those who had anticipated a good contest La- fayette made a miserable showing in the foot-ball game with the Pennsylva- nia State College eleven, at State Col- lege, last Saturday afternoon. About four hundred people watched the snap- py little blue and white players rua all around the big Eastonians and break through their line as if it had been made up of so many blocks of ice. At no time during the game did the visitors give any evidence that they could play the game. Their wind was as poor as their judgement and they were completely dazad at the rapidly successive brilliant plays of their small- er antagonists. Oue thirty and one twenty-five min- ute halt were played, the score being State 72, Lafayette 0.

The fact that he had been out of work for a long while and his efforts to obtain employment having failed seemed to give credence to this theory. Seigworth was known to have had $45 and a fine gold watch on his person all of which were gone when he was found. This, with the general appearance of the body and surroundings, convinced the jury that the man had been murderad. He was a brother-in-law of A. A. Kohl- becher, of Milesburg. ——Constable Mench, of Milesburg, arrested an old German and his wife near Milesburg last Thursday evening, and brought them to jail here accusing them of stealing D. Smull’s horse, at Hartleton, Union county. Their names are Fleming and both protested their innocence and swore that they traded for the horse in the “Narrows”. The aviwmal they they were driving turned out to be the stolen property but they really traded for it. So when the old man got back to Lewisburg he found himself without any horse at all. His wife was sent to the poor house here to await his return, but yesterday morning “overseer McClute sent her down to him, | | THis WEATHER Is Soo Dug.— Prophet Foster keeps everlastingly at it on the weather prognostication. His latest starts off like this: «My last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm wave to cross the continent from 19th to 23d, and the next will reach the western mountains about the 23d, cross the western mountains by close of 24th, the great central valleys from 25th to 27th and the eastern states about the 28th. This disturbance will be of more than usual force, and will be fol- lowed in the northern latitudes by ugly winter weather. Rainfall will be above the average in many places during the last week in October. The warm wave will cross the west- ern mountains about the 23d, the great central valleys about the 25th, and the eastern states about the 27th. The cool wave will cross the western mountains about the 26th, the great central valleys about the 28th and the eastern states about the 30th. Severe frosts will ac- company the cool wave, probably as fur south as the 34th parallel. Beginning with January these bulle- tins will give in advance the probable average monthly temperature and rain- fall separately for the divisions known as the eastern states, the Ohio valley, the upper Mississippi valley and the northern states east of the Rocky moun- tains. A little later the same informa- tion will be given for the South Atlan- tic states, east gulf states, west gulf states, north Pacific coast and south Pacific coast. The calcalations on my new discovery of the causes that control temparature and rainfall are proving eminently satis- factory, and leave no doubt as to its cor- rectness. The tabies of planetary posi- tions agree with the official records of rainfall and temperature for any past month. The construction of the tables, however, is an exceedingly laborious task. A Cuaxce To Have Your Boys Tavear Music FrREe.—W. A. Good- win, the organist of St. John's Episco- pal church, who has had the entire charge of the choir for the past year, has organized it into a class for the pur- pose of instructing them in reading music at sight and of training the voices of the younger mewbers better. Mr. Goodwin is a musician of consid- erable skill as is attested by the work he has done as choir master at St. John’s He is an earnest instructor, not given to anything other than a careful attention to his duties. At present he is carry- ing the extra work of directing the Bellefonte choral, society but is anxious for a larger choir in his church. In or- der to increase it he has offered instruc- tion in the rudiments of music to all who will join. He informs us that all parents wishing to give their boys the advantage of a vocal training are wel- come to send them to this class. There will be no charge made, the only re- quirement being that they sing in the choir during the regular services in the church. There are many good voices among the young boys of the town and it is the duty of parents to have them trained while yet young as that is the only time when it can be done properly and to the best advantage. Now-a-days it is considered a necessary part of a good education to know how to read music, even if a person is not a good singer. Boys between 8 and 13 years will be received in this class. If you wish your boy to join notify Mr. Goodwin at any time or send the boy himself to the church Monday or Thursday of each week at 7 p m, IMPORTANT. — This issue of the WATCHMAN contains a supplement on which the sheriff's proclamation is printed.

Don’t forget to vote for Savage. Look for his name somewhere on the ticket and put an X opposite it.
