SINGERLY IN BELLEFONTE. — The
presence of candidate for Governor,
‘Wm. M. Singerly ; John S. Rilling, of
Erie, candidate for Lieutenant Gover-
nor; David F. McGee, of Lancaster,
candidate for Auditor General; Wal-
ter W. Greenland, of Clarion, candidate
for Secretary of Internal Affairs; Hen-
ry Meyer, of Allegheny and our own
Thomas Collins, candidates for Con-
gressmen-at-Large, together with such
distinguished Democrats as Wm. F.
Harrity, W. U. Hensel, John K. Gar-
man and others, in Bellefonte, last Sat-
urday morning Was the signal for a
great out-pouring of Democrats from
this vicinity to show proper courtesy to
the visitors during their short stay.
A political mass meeting at half past
eight o'clock in the morning was an un-
heard of thing until Saturday when it
was clearly demonstrated that the peo
ple will turn out any time to listen to
men who can talk reason on a subject
worth hearing. As Mr. Singerly said
when he commenced his address, it was
surely the sunrise of Democracy, for
just as the special train bearing the
campaigners pulled into the Peunsylva-
nia station the sun peeped through the
heavy morning fog and smiled on the
great crowd of enthusiasts who had got-
ten ahead of it on that day.
Immediately on the arrival of the
train the party was escorted to carriages
thence Meyers band led the way up
High street to the Court House, the
Wm. M. Singerly club, of Bellefonte,
three hundred strong, escorting the visi-
tors. The auditorium was already fill-
ed when the procession reached the
Court House and many of those who
had been down to see the train come in
were left, for they could not get in the
building at all.
Hammon Sechler called the meeting
to order and introduced Col. Singerly.
He spoke a few moments on general
topics, paying pretty tributes to the
lamented Curtin and to Bellefonte’s
honored candidate for Congressman-at-
Large, Thomas Collins. Owing to the
fact that this is his opponent’s home he
did not enter into his usual debate on
the Hastings fallacies, but left that part
of the program for another speaker.
Our candidate delighted every one with
his frank easy manner of greeting and
speaking to men and made many friends
by his visit.
«The daddy of them all,” as we heard
a number of admirers dub him, W. U.
Hensel, followed with one of those en-
tertaining talks for which he is so well
known. He did not feel as much dis-
posed to be lienient with Hastings as
did Mr. Singerly, for he said the Demo-
crats had just as much right to carry
their fight into Dan’s own home as the
«Hero of Johnstown” had to go into
Philadelphia, Mr. Singerly’s home.
Mr. Hensel denied that Pennsylvania
is sitting in sack cloth and ashes waiting
for the return of Republicans to power
and well he might for to-day the indus-
trial condition of our commonwealth is
at least one hundred per cent better than
it was at any time during the operation
‘of the McKinley bill—we invite a denial
of this statement.
David M. Magee, our candidate for
Auditor General, was the next speaker.
A clearer cut more explicit explanation
of the tariff and its|burdens to the masses
has never been delivered from a Belle-
fonte platform. He arraigned the Re-
publican party for fostering trusts,
while they robbed the poor man. He
is a forcible talker and dealt with “hard
pan” facts much to the delight of his
auditors who had been waiting for a set
speech on the issues of the times. As
the party had only an hour to spend
here he was forced to stop speaking be-
fore he had had time to finish all of his
argumentation, but when he retired to
get breakfast cheers rang through the
building like rolling thunder.
Hon. John K. Garman, of Luzerne
county, was the last speaker, He con-
fined himself to urging a large Demo-
cratic tarn out at the election and asked
for the undivided support of the party
for our county ticket. His was a
pleasant talker and his remarks were
well received.
Mid the greatest enthusiasm the party
was escorted back to the train and were
taken on to Lock Haven where another
ovation awaited them.
The crowd was a genuine surprise to
every-one. and showed all too plainly
for the Republicans that Democrats in-
tend standing true to their convictions
this fall. Everything was cheering and
while men yelled themselves hoarse in
trying to drowned the music of the band
faithful” Jim Cornelly was high on
Half-moon hill firing dynamite as &
salute to the man who should be the
next Governor of Pennsylvania.
Is THIS TRUE.—A large number of
coins were plowed up on the farm of I.
M. Harvey, in Bald Eagle Valley, this
county, on Saturday. The coins are
silver and copper, of English, Dutch
and French issue. All ave dated pre-
vious to 1770. They were plowed up
in a radius of about eight feet. It is
supposed there might have been a keg
full that had been buried suddenly in
the time of the Revolutionary war, in
anticipation of a raid by the Indians,
and that the settler either was killed or
forgot to mark the spot.— Philipsburg

tum imparted by the rapidly running

A. Stranahan, State Chairman of the

tention. Matt Savage arrived in town
during the progress of the meeting and
when he appeared in the hall the crowd
nearly went wild. He explained that
he had just won his case at Harrisburg
and would be a candidate under the
head of “Citizens” party and asked
every Democrat to vote for him.

WEATHER FOR THIS MONTH, ACCORD
ing To Foster.—My last bulletin
gave forecasts of the storm wave to cross |
the continent from the Z4th to 28th and |
| the next will reach the Pacific coast |
about the 29th, cross the western moun- |
tains by close of the 30ih, the great
central valleys from 31st to Nov. g!
and the eastern states about Nov. 3.
This disturbance will be above the
average in force and severe frosts reach-
ing far into the cotton belt will follow
it. The second storm wave of Novem-
ber will reach the Pacific coast about
Nov. 4, cross the western mountains by
leys from 6th to 8th and the eastern
states about the 8th.
This disturbance will be at its great-
est force in the eastern states about the
9th and the cool wave will be most
severe in the Mississippi valley about
the same time. Warm waves will cross
the western mountains about Oct. 26th
and Nov. 4, to the great Central
valleys about Oct. 381 and Nov.
6th and the eastern states about Nov. 2
and 8.
Cool waves will cross the western
mountains about Nov. 1 and 7, the
great central valleys 31 and 9th, and
the eastern states about the 5th and
11th.
The first half of November will be
generally stormy, with indicatious of an
early winter that will not be realized,
for November will average warm and
dry. This, however, will be only the
general average of the whole United
States. My local calculations for rain-
fall and temperature of November are
not completed, but I will give what
these incompleted calculations appear
to indicate for November.
For the northeastern states, including
all north of the Potomac and east of the
Alleghenies, the temperature of the
month will average from three to five
degrees above the normal, and the rain-
fall from one to three inches below.
My calculations for the southern
states are not far enough along to be
reliable, but probabilities seem to indi-
cate that both temperature and rainfall
will be below the average. ~ Important
factors were lacking in making the cal-
culations for the above forecasts, and
readers should not expect them to be
verified, but the probabilities are with
the forecast’ as made and they indicate
what the style of my predictions will be
beginning with the month of January,
1895.
On less complete calculations I based
my general forecasts for Oc tober and up
to this writing, Oct. 20, the predictions
have been most remarkabl y well veri-
fied.
Taree BurcLArRs KrLLep.—Three
burglars who were stealing a ride ona
Beech Creek freight train were Killed
Tuesday morning at 2:15 o'clock in a
wrack near Viaduct. The train con-
sisted of forty-five empty cars coming
west. About 150 yards east of Viaduct
a brake beam broke on a car about the
middle of the train, and dropped down,
wrecking seventeen cars. In one of the
cars were four tramps stealing a ride:
Three of them were killed outright and
the fourth was terribly hurt. He gave
his name as Lewis Frump and his resi-
dence Williamsport. He said he was
coming to Philipsburg to seek work.
He said he didn’t know the other three
who were in the car when ha got in,
The three dead men had a complete out
fit of burglars’ tools, seven revolvers,
two razors, and one of thew carried a
large dirk knife. Iach one had a bur-
glar’s musk and a gag, and the mask
and tools showed that they had been
used.
Drs. Henderson, of Philipsburg, and
Belcher, of Manson, weat down to the
wreck on the early train, and mada the
injured man as easy as possible, and had
him brought to the Philipsburg hospi-
tal. He will hardly recover as his in.
juries are very serious. The burglars
had Sunbury newspapers in their pock-
ets, which looks as if they had come
from that town. Oae of them was con-
pletely beheaded .
Later.—John B. Long and John
Todd, Jr., overseers of poor of Rash
township, went down to Viaduct and
took possession of the bodies of the dead
close of the 5th, the great central val-!
burglars and brought them to Philips
burg last evening.
, An examination of their clothes leads
to a suspicion that they were all Wil-
liamsport men. They were well dress-
od and wore clean, good underclothes
and linen. In the pockets of one was a
Seitinger, barber,” On the reverse side
was : “Drummer, Company B, Twelfth
regiment, N. G. P.” On the right arm
of one of the others was tattooed in
India ink, “C.G. Carr.” His under-
clothes were marked “C. G. Carr.”

N HUNTING TIME.
For the WATCHMAN.
When long hot summer days have passed
And Autumn’s pleasant time is here
Septem ber crisp and clear and bright
The fairest month of all the year
When stubble fields are golden brown,
And lakes gleam silver in the sun
Our thoughts turn lovingly to thee,
Old, trusty gun.
We take you from your ’customed place
And out into the sunshine roam
With many pleasant memories
Of our boyhoods distant mountain home,
The tall old oaks, the whispering pines
The little streams that singing run,
The rockey dells that echoed back
Your vo.ce, Old gun.
We steal along the stubble fields
Among the shocks of ripened grain
We cast the cares of life aside
We are a merry boy again.
A stir ; a glimpse of plump brown forms
Among the grasses dead and dun:
A sudden whir of rushing wings,
Now, now ! Old gun.
A glimmer of the polished barrels
Two puffs of smoke, a double flash,
A cloud of feathers in the air
In the dead grass a fluttering crash,
Two birds stone dead, ah well, old chum
I call that very neatly done
We have not lost our cunning yet
Have we ? Old gun.

James Schofield.
The senior candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket for the Legislature is forty-
six years old and a man who might tru-
ly be classed among the ‘“selt made’
well-to-do business men of our land.
With a common school education he
struck out to take care of himself and
began by learning the trade of a sad-
dler. His early life was epent in Bir-
mingbam, Huntingdon county, where
not being able to find employment at
his trade he worked in the mines for a
year, afterwards located in Bellefonte.
Two years later he went to New York
to work in a large harness factory, but
longing for the mountains and hills of old
Centre county he returned again to this
place and began business for himself on
a small scale.
Like his ancestors he took a lively
interest in political matters and always
kept himself informed on the issues of
the day. His prominence in the town
gained for him the honor of being elect-
ed a member of the public school board
from a Republican ward and later was
elected over-seer of the poor for three
successive terms in the strong Republi-
can borough. This office he resigned
and in 1892 was elected to the State Leg-
islature from Centre county by a hand-
some majority of 959. In the house he
bas been a creditable Representative
and succeeded in having the bill to
elect tax collectors in boroughs and
townships for three years passed. He
was popular in the Legislature as a Rep-
resentative; was ready to perform his
public duties and crack a joke with his
fellow members. He fought for the
Niles tax bill which the farmers were
trying to pass in order to equalize the
burden of taxation and at all times
worked to help the interests of the peo-
le.
This is what the Philipsburg Ledger
which is an independent Republican
paper has to say of him :
“Mr. James Schofield, of Bellefonte,
Democratic candidate for Legislature
visited Philipsburg on Friday looking
after his chanezs for » majority in this
locality. We have known Mr. Schofield
personally for something like twenty
years and lived in the same town with
him for several years and we never
knew anything against him. He isa
mighty keen, quick witted man and as
far as we know, square and honorable.
He is perfectly competent to fill the
office he seeks, and there is no reason
under the sun why be should not poll
the full Democratic vote of Centre coun-
ty. He ought to get a good vote in
Philipsburg, for his wife is a Philips-
burg lady, the eldest daughter of the
late Samuel Fleck Esq. We should be
very glad to hear of Mr. Schofield’s
election.”
