Tue ForRMAL OPENING OF THE NEW
ARMORY.—To-night will see the reali-
forward to the happy opening of the
handsome new armory which Col. W.
Fred Reynolds has built for them in
this place. Everything isin readiness.
The immense hall where the dance and
reception will be held has been artis-
tically festooned in the national colors
by a Harrisburg firm of decorators and
Geo. Baldwin, the florist, has left the
trace of his pretty work in the delicate
flowers and potted plants that will lend
| an additional charm to those who be-
hold it for the first time to-night. The
Cathedral band of Pittsburg composed
of twenty-six pieces under Peter Dan-
hart, director, will furnish the music
during the reception that is to last from
8 until 9 o’clock. Then the band’s or-
chestra will render the music for the
military ball that will conclude the
evening's entertainment.
There will be no speeches, only a re-
ception in which Gov. Pattison and his
staff and other distinguished military
men who will be present will partici-
pate with the following patronesses :
Mrs. D. H. Hastings, Mrs. J. A. Wiley,
Mrs. W. W. Greenland, Mrs. W. Fred
Reynolds Mrs. E. W. McCaskey, Mrs. F.
W. Kinkaid, Mrs. J. L. Spangler, Mrs.
Wm. F. Reber and Mrs Wilbur F. Reed-
er. It isto be regretted that Mrs. Patti-
son, who was to have been one of the pa-
tronesses ,will be unable to be here on
account of illness.
Governor-elect Hastings and his en-
tire cabinet will be in attendance. Gen.
Frank Reeder having telegraphed his
intention of being here, yesterday morn-
ing.
Following the reception will be the
grand march led by Governor Pattison
and Mrs. D. H. Hastings, then the
dancing will;be begun. At mid-night
refreshments will be served, by Cedars,
in the gun room and will consist of
rolled bread, tied in red, white and blue
ribbons ; meat sandwiches, salads on
plates garnished with lettuce, assorted
creams and cakes and coffee.
After refreshments the remaining
numbers of the twenty-four dances on
the card will be completed.
The affair is expected to mark the
zenith of anything in the social line
that has ever been attempted in Belle-
fonte and the indications now are that
it will even surpass the hopes of the most
sanguine. Certain it is that from the
point of distinguished people present it
will surpass any gathering ever held in
this portion of the State. On the floor
of the armory will be seen the only liv-
ing ex-Governors of Pennsylvania, the
present Governor and the Governor-to-
be. This will be an incident which
probably has never before occurred in
the history of the commonwealth.

A HISTORICAL ORGANIZATION,
Co. B. 5th, Reg. N. G. P. is the con-
tinuaticn of a military organization that
was effected in Bellefonte in the month
of July 1838. It was first known as
the Bellefonte Fencibles which were or-
ganized in the hall over the old
Miles tavern with the late An-
drew G. Curtin as captain. On the
roster of the original company can be
found many names that have since
gained prominence in military, political
and business circles. The late Gen. Wm.
H. Blair, who won his title for having
been the first officer to cross the bridge
at Antietam, figured in its early history |
and it was while in the service that the
great friendship between him and Cur-
tin, that lasted until his death, grew up.
Gen. Beaver and Wm. Tripple were
Lieutenants of the company.
This company was mustered into the
service during the war through which
it served with distinction. Its organiza-
tion was kept in tact for a number of
years afterward, but the death of many
of its members made its continuation
impossible, so a few years prior to 1880
it lived only in name. June 12th of
that year a new organization was made
and the company was mustered into the
State service. Since that time its his-
tory has been a blaze of military dis-
tinction. From its ranks have sprung
men who have held positions in every
branch of the State’s military service.
The membership was always made up
of young men of integrity and conse-
quently it never failed in the most rigid |
adherence to duty. General Beaver was
one of the officers it gave to the State
service and the long list of officers on
the Governor's, Division, Brigade and
Regimental staffs, who are Bellefonters,
are indirectly indebted to Co. B. for the
military education and start that has
given them the offices they fill with so
much distinction now.
The officers of the Co. have been :
Captain, Amos Mullen, 1880-89, when
he was elected Lieutenant Colonel of
the Reg. and was succeeded by Wm.
F. Reber, who still commands the com-
pany. Its lieutenants have been : Geo
L. Potter, 1880-87 ; J. D. Geissinger,
1884-88 ; Phil Foster, 1884-93 ; Hugh
Taylor, 1893-94; Geo. L. Jackson, 94
and Wilbur F. Reeder who is now Ist
Lieut,
BRIEF SKETCH OF THE ARMORY.
The need of a permanent home for
the company and some place that
would be more suitable than the old
skating rink, or whatever hall could be
rented in town, continued making itself
felt more and more every year until
some time last winter Lt. Col. Wm.
Fred Reynolds, of the Governor's staff,
became interested in the company and
was induced to build 1t a permanent
home. He tried to procure the McCaf-
ferty property, on west High street,
along the rail-road, with the intention
of erecting an armory and business
block combined, but the owners asked
more than he cared to pay for the site,
so he opened negotiations at once for
the purchase of the present location on
the north west corner of Spring and
Lamb streets. The deal was consum-
mated in April, one lot having been
purchased from the Bellefonte Central
R. R. Co. the other from John P. Har-
ris. Early in May the work on the
building began. John Noll had the
contract for the excavation and stone
work. It being the original intention
to build the entire building of rough
blue lime stone, but this was abandon-
ed because of the difficulty in procuring
suitable stone. The basement walls, 18
feet high, were completed in stone, and
the balance is of red brick, in a very
ornamental style known as ‘rock
work.”
The building fronts 83 feet on Spring
street and extends back 135 feet along
Lambstreet. It is two stories high, the
lower floor, or basement being divided
intoa gun room 78x25, a company as-
sembly room 38x25 and a property
room 16x18. The entrance to the main
drill floor is off Spring street, where a
very imposing archway 18 feet wide, 16
feet deep and 35 feet high leads to the
drill hall which is 78x90 in the clear.
At the west end of the hall is a stage
24x48, at either side of which are dress-
ing and toilet rooms for ladies and gen-
tlemen. A great truss roof spans the
entire structure and gives the building a
height of 78 feet. Two galleries 12x78
are run across the east end of the build-
ing, and underneath them are separat®
quarters for the commissioned and non-
commissioned officers. :
The drill floor is of beech and maple
and is extremely roomy, being large
enough to mancuvre a company in al
most any manger. The side walls are
of plain red brick, the open roof being
finished in straw colored plastico, which
gives its heavy timbers a lighter ap-
pearance than 1s really the case.
The building is of modern architec- |
ture with quaint gables, turrets and
battlement porches in front, all of
which add to its ornamentation. It
will make a most commodious home for
the company and is the finest company
armory in the State. Its estimated
cost being between $15,000 and $20,000.
The architects were Wagner &
Reitmyer, of Williamsport ; John Noll
had the stone contract ; Henry Bartley
did the wood work; S.
had the painting ; and Frank Wallace,
of Milesburg bad the brick work.
If you have never seen “Uncle
Tom’s Cabin” go to Garman’s next
Thursday night and sce Stetson’s mam-
moth company play it as it should be
played. It might be the last opportu-
nity you will havo,

Dears oF Msgs. C. D. KELLER. — |
The announcement of the death of Mrs. |
C. D. Keller, at her home in La Jose, |
Clearfield Co., on Mondav evening, at |
seven o'clock came with strange sudden- |
ness to her friends here, who knew that |
Mr Koller had been in a precarious
condition for some months ; but thought
that she was enjoying her usual good
. health.
Mrs. Eloise Keller was the oldest
daughter of the late R. D. Cummings,
who twenty-five years ago, was one of
the best known citizens of the county.
Her early girlhood was spent in Belle-
fonte, and before she was twenty years
old she married Mr. C. D. Keller, who
at that time was one of the prominent
merchants of the town. Prior to 76
they moved to Philadelphia, where they
lived until six years ago when they
went to La Jose. Mrs. Keller, was an
exceptionaily kind woman and her death
is an irreparable loss to her husband,
sister and niece. Mrs. M. F. and Ella
Hacker, who have always lived with
her. Her other sister Mrs. Geo. Grimm,
lives in Reading. She is to be buried
this morning at La Jose.
RECEIVING BLESSINGS. --Two of the
most talked of men in Bellefonte Tues.
day morning were Mr. F. B. Crider and
Mr. Murty Cunningham. The former
employed the latter to put a top coat on
the concrete pavement around his stone
business block on the northwest corner
of the Diamond. Mr. Cunningham’s
men went to work at it Monday after-
noon, but rain stopped them, just after
they had put on several coats of tar and
to protect which they spread sand over
it. The rain turned to snow and such a
slop as that snow, tar and sand made ;
and as people waded through it they
were altogether unconscious that shoes
were being ruined. Tuesday's dawn
told the tale of destruction which not
only affected shoes, but carpets in many
homes in town.
The tidy housewife could not imagine
how such “awful” black boot marks
were made all through the house until
an examination of the inmates’ shoes re-
vealed the tell tale tar. Many carpets
are rained and consequently many bless-
ings (?) have been sent on the owner
and repairer of that pavemen!, who
thus unconsciously were subjects of con-
demnation.
DAVID SHEARER OF Z10N Digs—Short-
ly before noon last Sunday David Sharer,
one of the oldest and best known resi-
dents of the vicinity of Zion, departed
this life after almost a year’s affliction
with paralysis.
Having fallen from:ja cherry tree, a
number of years ago, he received in-
juries to his spine from which he never
fully recovered. In February last he
was stricken with paralysis, then. dur-
ing the summer another stroke prostrated
him and a third rendered him perfectly
helpless.
Deceased was buried on Tuesday,
Rev. Lohr officiating. He was a life
long member of the Evangelical church
and leaves a widow with four children
to mourn his death.
teNRY TRESSLER'S COBBLER SHOP
BURNED.—At an early hour last Satur-
day morning Henry Tressler, who lives
on the road running through the ‘‘big
hollow’’ from the Boalsburg pike to
Rock Mills, was awakened by the lurid
glare of fire and on springing to the
window he saw that his cobbler shop,
standing between his house and] barn,
was enveloped in flames. Notwithstand-
ing he had been confined to the house
with illness for a period of five weeks he
hurried out, but the flames were beyond
control and his shop almost in ruins.
With the neighbors, who had arrived by
that time, he succeeded in saving the
house and barn. His loss cn the shop
is $500 with $368 insurance. All of its
contents were burned.
Lost AN EYE.—Joe, one of the twin
sons, of Prof. G. W. Twitmyer, prin-
cipal of the Honesdale public schools,
was hit in the eye by a stone, thrown
from a sling in the hands of a hoy, on
the street, from which he has lost the
sight of that eye. Ha still can see a lit-
tle but the doctor says the lens is de-
stroyed and he must lose the eye. Little
Joe is a great favorite in the town and
excitement became so high that the
father of the boy who threw the stone,
found it best to take him away, which
he has done. Prof. Twitmyer is well
known in this county, his old home,
where his many friends will be grieved
to learn of his son’s misfortune.
Two InpusTrRIOUS FAMILIES. —Two
brothers of Rote, Clinton county, are
prosperous farmers. One of them is
father of a family of six girls while the
other has just as many sons. The former
runs a cider mill and his girls helped
! him squesze out 600 barrels of cider
| during the season just closed. The girls
| of course, would be very apt at squeez-
ing, but they are all good farmers as
well, being able to plow and harvest as
| well as their male cousins.
The boys, however, are not. behind
| the girls for they can do house work.
{ Byeryone of them, and have helped
| their futher thresh 13,000 bushels of
grin with his thresher already this
"seascn,
Rev. Fatber D. J. Gallagher,
intends giving up the pastorate of the
Tyrone Catholic church, on account of
ill health.

A rumor is current that a Patton
township school teacher mercilessly beat
a boy recently because he had stayed
away from school without the teacher’s
permission, though the father of the
child bad told him he could do so. The
boy was flogged with a club until he
was terribly bruised and cried for mercy.
——Schofield’s great mark down sale
is going on and every one is pleased

such a variety you never saw as at
Schofield's. The prices are not below
cost but the margin is very small. Call
and see these specialties.
——The wise buyer this year will
spend his money in a way that will give
him the most return and instead of pur-
chasing a lot of knic-knacs for the chil-
dren to break up in a few days he will

shoes. No better place in town to get
the latter than at Mingle’'s—where a
list of special offers is now attracting
public attention. Elsewhere in this
paper will be found a new advertisement

pay you to read. Slippers and shoes
alike are offered to Christmas buyers at

WaErRe CarisTIANS WiLL Nor
Ficar.—The war that has been going
on in the Evangelical church in this
State for years between the Dubbsites
and the Esherites and which ended last
summer in a decision of the supreme
court, which declared the former faction
to be the rightful custodians of all the
church property, has ended most dis-
astrously in a great many parts of the
State. But over at Tusseyville the mem-
bers of the Zion Evangelical church are
about divided equally between Dubbs
and Esher. The victorious faction did
not put the others oul, however, but
decided that it would show a more
christian spirit to share the church with
them, so that now the two factions
worship turn about.
