er attractions still as a bid for favor.
The WATCHMAN wishes him success.
SWORN IN As JUDGE.—On Monday
day morning, in the presence of most of
the practitioners at the bar of Centre
county, and a number of others. Hon
John G. Love took his oath of office as
president judge of the 49th District, in-
cluding Centre and Huntingdon coun-
ties. The oath was administered by Re-
corder W. Galer Morrison and to-day
finds Hon. A. O. Furst an ex-judge
and back at the practice of his profes-
sion, while it is no longer “Jack,” but
Judge Love. ‘
Associate judge Benj. Rich was ther,
to be sworn in too and it did not take
Recorder Morrison long either to bind
his claim for a five years seat in ex-
Judge Riley’s chair.
Immediately upon the oath taking
court was convened and a few petitions
were presented after which adjournment
was made and congratulations were ten-
dered the new judge and his Republi-
can associate.’ Ex-Judge Furst had not
been there during the formality of
swearing in his successor, but appeared
later. Judge Love remained for a
meeting of the bar association, over
which he presided, being its ex-officio
president, but left the same afternoon
for Huntingdon where he is holding
court.
The meeting of the Centre county
bar association was called to appoint &
committee that will represent this coun-
ty at a convention to be held in Harris-
burg, Wednesday, Jan. 16th, for the
purpose of organizing a State bar asso-
ciation. The committee will be made
up of Gen. Jas. A. Beaver, Hon. A. O.
Furst, C. P. Hewes Esq. C. M. Bower
Esq. and D. F. Fortney Esq. With
such a distinguished party representing
it Centre county ought to get in on the
ground floor of the new organization.
Messrs Hewes, Reeder, Chambers,
Meyer and Orvis were appointed a com-
mittee to look into the home associa-
tion’s library and report on its condition,
after which the meeting adjourned.
The speculation as to what the new
judges would do regarding the force of
attachees about the court house has been
settled, so far as some of them, at least,
are concerned. Jobn Dunlop, the
court crier, and Martin Morrison, tip-
staff, were both ousted and the good Re-
publicans, Steele Hunter and Tom Me-
Cafferty were given their respective jobs.
The Democrats who were thinking that
possibly these officers would not be re-
moved know better now and should
have known long ago that Republicans
are not fools enough to let Democrats in
in office if Democrats are such gillies
themselves.
FrIGHTFULLY BURNED.—Very early
Monday morning an explosion on the
plant of the Bellefonte Gas Co., on
Lamb street, resulted in the frightful
burning of Sup’t. E. E. Kitson and
Albert Schad the junior partner in the
plumbing firm of R. J. Schad & Bro.
of north Allegheny street.
A new 200 horse power boiler,
that had just been mounted to augment
the battery of boilers that supply the
town with steam heat, was being con-
nected with the steam main at one end
and the big smoke stack at the other.
Boiler maker Wm. B. Maitland and a
gang of his workmen were doing the
latter work, while Schad’s men were
finishing up the steam connections.
A new valve had been put on the
steam pipe that tapped the new boiler
and connected with the others as well.
As the other boilers were all in use at
the time the valve was closed, but evi-
dently it leaked a trifle, for when the
connections had all been made Sup’t.
Kitson and Mr. Schad climbed up on
the scaffolding to close the man hole in
the boiler. They had scarcely started
their work when the explosion occurred
and a solid sheet of flame shot out on
them. The former was painfully burn-
ed about the face and hands, but not so
badly as his fellow workman, whose
face, arms and half of his head was
burned in blisters. The men were tak-
en to their homes and medical aid sum-
moned. Both are doing well now.
The explosion is supposed to have
beer caused by the generation of a
highly explosive gas by the action of
the steam that entered the boiler,
through the leaking valve, upon the
crude oil that had been put in the boiler
to protect it from the lime in the water
used.
THE KARTHAUSE GAs WELL Is A
FaiLure.,—The expectations of the
stock holders in the Karthause oil and
gas company are blasted, so far as the
first prospect for getting rich quick is
concerned. Last week the drillers
reached the 2000 feet mark in the test
well and it will not be drilled any deep-
er, having gone that deep and found no
quantities of oil there is no mse in
going any deeper. While going through
various kinds of red rock and sand dur-
ing the first several hundred feet the in-
dications were all that could have been
desired, but of late as the drill has pass-
ed through the ground favorable for oil
and gas, all hope of striking the desired
materialsjhas been abandoned.
Wells on other sections of the land,
leased by the company, may ke put |
down, but whether the prospecting will
be extended further depends on the
stockholders determination,

——Mr. and Mrs. Thos. H. Murray,
of Clearfield, gave a large reception at
their home last Thursday night. It
was to introduce their daughter, who

——There was quite a flood on the
West Branch on Monday and Tuesday.
It resulted in taking all the ice out of
the river. Gorges are formed in Wil-
liamsport, Linden and Jersey Shore.
——1TIt is said that Messrs W. H. and
A. C. Mann intend erecting new build-
ings on their lots in Mill Hall and when
completed the gap caused by the big
fire there last summer will be complete-
ly closed up.
——TU. S. Senator John Patton Jr.
who was appointed by Gov. Rich, of
Michigan, to fill the unexpired term of
Senator Stockbridge when he died, was
defeated for election last Thursday. He
is a native of Clearfield county, this
State. and a son of Hon. John Patton,
of Curwensville.
——The forging department of the
Mill Hall axe works began on half time
last Monday and the other departments
will follow as soon as the stock js
worked into them. The plant will
work only three days a week until
more orders are received. Itis reported
that 6000 dozen of axes are already
piled up in the stock room. :
——We trust that the rumored strike
of the coal miners in the Clearfield re-
gion will turn out to be ill grounded.
Surely they are not in a position to give
up the little means of sustenance they-
now receive for their work. The weath-
er is too severe to undertake a strike at
this season and while we know that the
miners are imposed upon by the opera-
tors, the idea of a strike now is very ill
timed and would involve all in woe and
misery.
——Frederick Monerieff was arrested
last Monday at Johnsonburg, charged
with the murder of his room-mate Hen-
ry Peoples. The murdered man, who
was a clerk in the bank at Johnson-
burg, was found dead in his room one
day last summer, and as there was no
apparent cause for suicide bis friends at
once made up their minds that he had
been murdered. Monerieff claims he
can prove an alibi, as he was away when
his friend’s death occurred.
——Bell, Lewis & Yates, the coal
operators are beginning to decrease their
force of miners. It has been the prac-
tice for years to have about double the
men who could actually be employed in
the mines at one time, in order that
there would always be some one there to
take the place of any employe. This
practice has resuited in dreadful poverty
among the men, because of irregular
employment. And to alleviate the suf-
ferings the force is to be reduced and
steady-employment furnished the men
who are retained.
——Plans have been submitted to the
Bellefonte council for a proposed new
public building to be erected on the
borough lot on east Howard street.
Bobert Cole & Co. architects fathered
the designs which 1f carried out would
make a very handsome building. The
Howard street frontage is 70ft with a
depth of 50 feat. The idea encourag-
ing the erection of such a building is to
provide a suitable town hall in which
all kinds of borough business will be
transacted. In the plans the first floor
is taken up with rooms for the Logan
engine, hose trucks and engine horses
AN OFFER oF $200 For THE CURTIN
Mo~NUMENT.--The letter which we
pablish below, and which is signed by a
man who left his birth place in this
county years ago, eontains a direct offer
of a subscription of $200 to help along
the Curtin monument fund. It direct8
its use, however, in such a way that
there is a possibility of trebling the
amount. The letter is as follows :
Cuicaco, Inn. Jan. 7, 1895.
Editor DEMocrATIC WATCHMAN—Deéar Sir :—
Iam advised that action is now being taken
by the citizens of Bellefonte, Pa., and vicinity
toward raising a sufficient amount of money
to erect, in Bellefonte, a suitable monument to
the memory of the late Ex-Gov. Andrew G.
Curtin.
As 8 native of Centre Co. Pa., and a staunch
admirer of the unselfish and patriotic deeds of
Gov. Curtin, whom I consider to have been
one of the grandest men ofthe nineteenth
century, second only to the great “emancipa-
tor,” Lincoln,~the most practical way I
can express my admiration will be to offer
substantial aid in theraising of such a fund.
This 1 do by offering to donate the sum of two
hundred dollars ($200.00), the same to be ex-
pended in the purchase of Three Grand Prizes
in the form of Band Instruments, the best
make, which shall be awarded for meritorious
playing at a band contest, the object of which
shall be to enlarge upon amount donated, net
proceeds of said contest to be added to the
Curtin Monument Fund ; said band contest to
be held at Hecla, on the Central R. R. of Pa.
the day preceding the Centre Co. Pa. cen-
tennial celebration to be held in Bellefonte,
in June next.
Feeling certain that said amount of two
hundred dollars ($200.00) can be very material-
ly enlarged upon by the methods previously
indicated, I suggest that this proposal be
published in your valuable journal as well as
duly referred to a proper committee for con-
sideration. I am respectfully,
113 Adams St. ALFRED BEIRLY.
Professor Beirly needs no introduc-
tion to the people of Centre county,
most of whom are already conversant
with his prominence as a composer and
arranger of choral music of every va-
riety. That his offer is inspired by the
love he bears his old home and the mem_
ory of those who have brought honor to
her, there is no doubt and the plan he
suggests is an excellent one for various
reasons.
If carried out it would tend to give a
great stimulus to the newly organized
band tournament association. That or-
ganization could accept the offer and
save the expense of purchasing prizes
for its next tournament the net receipts
showing a corresponding increase, be-
cause of this doing away with the prin-
cipal item of expense attaching to the
tournament. The first meeting of the
association, held last summer, was a
very profitable one. Notwithstanding
the expenses of inception and $100.00
devoted to the purchase ofthe; prizes.
The Bellefonte band realized nearly
$500 out of the tournament, but in the
future the net receipts are to belong to
the association so that it can take hold
of this proposition of Prof. Beirly's and
have ver; little troubie in adding a
nice sum to the monument fund.
