up Wednesday. The colored fellows
had boarded the train at Osceolo and all
being drunk raised a disturbance in
which conductor Haupt and several of
the passengers wero roughly handled.
John Newberry started the fuss and will
more than likely get a trip to the ‘‘pen.”
George Reeves, Elija Cook, Augustus
Hoster, Wm. Beverly, Sam Roach,
Rich Coleman and Wm. Swarm were
other colored men in the crowd but as
no evidence was found against them
they were not included in the indict-
ment, though they had been held in jail
here awaiting trial. A traveling man
named Charles Gray, from Tyrone, was
involved in the trouble. He bad wan-
ted Newberry, who was sitting on the
arm of his seat, to let another passenger
in to sit down beside him, but the latter
refused and a fight ensued. Allison
Haupt was knocked down between two
seats and kicked several times. Some
of the negroes had revolvers, but did
not use them.
The case is etill on trial.
REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
The Grand jury baving completed its
work reported as follows and adjourned.
To the Honorable, the Judges of the Court
of Quarter Sessions of the Peace in and for the
County of Centre. ‘The Grand Inquest of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, inquiring for
the county in all matters relating to the same
do respectfully report; That we have acted
upon 18 bills of indictment, and that 17 were
found true bills and ode was ignored. We beg
leave to further report .that we have visited
and inspected the county buildings, ‘and our
| observations prompt the following sugges-
tions :* At the county jail the roof needs re.
pairing and the wood work repainting as itis
in a very dilapidated condition. The inside is
in a clean, neat and good condition. We re-
‘commend the removal of the gallows from the
inside of the jail and the painting or papering
of the vestibule, and the repairing of the walls
around the jail yard. At the court house we
recommend that larger and more commodious
rooms be provided for the grand and traverse
jurors and also a room provided for witnesses.
From the appearance of the ceiling in the
court room the rcof of the building is in a bad
.condition, and should be repaired. The of-
fices are all in good condition except the arbi-
tration room and the District Attorney's room,
which needs papering. We find that the
building is not sufficiently heated and recom-
mend the Commissioners to make better pro-
vision for the same. We respectfully tender
our thanks to the Tonotable Judges and Dis-
trict Attorney, for their courtesy and assis-
‘ tance rendered us during our deliberations.

department was petitioned to change

DearE oF Mes. RYMAN.—Among
| those recently departed to the land be-
| yond the sun, who have “‘wrapped the
drapery of their couch about them and
i 1aid down to pleasant dreams,’ is that
| good old lady, Mrs. Ellen Ryman, of
| Howard, this county, formerly wite of
Jacob Ryman, deceased, of Milesburg.
This sad event, which has deprived the
community of one of the best of women,
occurred on the 4th of the present
month, (Jan. 1895,) at the ‘home of her
son-in-law, H. A. Moore, of that bor-
ough, with whom she had made her
home for a number of years. This kind-
hearted and most excellent old lady had
achieved the age of 78 years and six
months before she received the sum.
mons to “come up higher’”’ and gladly
obeyed the command, being a consistent
member ot the Baptist church at Miles-
burg, and ready to give an account of
her stewardship to her Lord and Master.
Her remains were interred in the Union
cemetery in the latter place on the 7th
instant. This lamented mother in Israel
has left to mourn her departure from
among them, the following children:
Mrs. Elizabeth Parsons, of Altoona, Pa.;
Miles Ryman, of Punxzsutawney and
Mrs. H. A. Moore, of Howard, with the
latter of whom she had made her home
gince the death of her husband.
The departure of the good old lady
has left a sad vacancy in the pleasant
home at Howard, but the dear mother
has gone to renew her youth in that
‘house not made with hands, eternal in
the Heavens.” There all may hope to
meet her and renew the kindly associa-
tions so mournfully interrupted here on
earth.
“Farewell, mother, thou has left us.
Here thy loss we deeply feel ;
But tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.”
Morning, and evening, evening and
morning will come but she will not
come with them, nor will she until that
eternal morning of which it is written
“there is no night there.” F.
TraINs SNoweD Up,—The big fall
of snow last Friday night wus perfectly
harmless in iteelf, but the high wind
that began blowing on Saturday and
continued all day Sunday drifted the
snow into piles mountain high. :
The public highways always have to
suffer more or less blockading when the
snow drifts. Though the wagon roads
are seldom very open in the country
districts when there are many snow falls
during a winter, the railroads are ex.
pected to keep running as usual. How-
ever many lines were snowed up on
Sunday and Monday and not until
Tuesday morning were the branches,
radiating from this place, cleared out.
The Bald Eagle Valley road was
least troubled of all, and aside from an
express train sticking in a bank at Vail,
on Monday morning early, little delay
in the running of trains was noticed.
The road running from this plaee to
Lewisburg was effectually blocked up
and only with the assistance of sixty
snow shovelers was it gotten open by
Tuesday morning. The early train from
Lewisburg, on Monday morning, got as
far as Rising Springs and then had to
run back, while it took Harry Reamer’s
train, which left here at 6:30, until 2 in
the afternoon to get out to Pleasant
Gap, a distance of only five miles. The
road was finally opened by mid-night
and trains are running as usual. The
Beliefonte Central and Central R. R. of
Pa. both experienced considerable dif-
ficulty in getting wrains over their lines,
but by night their roads were opened
and trains were running through to
State College and Mill Hall.
The branch to Snow Shoe was the
worst of all the roads, since it closed up
on Saturday. The passenger train that
leaves here about 8:30 in the morning
didn’t get through to Snow Shoe at all
thet day and the wreck train had to
help them open the road up.
NarrowLY EscaAreDp FREEZING. —
Last Friday Amos Mingle and David
Ross, with five of their children and
Blair Mingle as driver, left their homes
in Birmingham to attend a funeral at
Penna Furnace. The party arrived at
their destination all right, but on return-
ing Saturday, they had not gone far
when the horsesstalled in & snow drift.
They could not move the sled, nor could
they extricate themselves after they
had been unhitched. The little chil-
dren almost perished and they were car-
ried to an house some distance away
where they had to be immersed in cold
water before they awakened from their
benumbed condition. Then the two
men returned to the sled and found the
driver lying in the bottom as stiff as
could be and almost frozen. He was tak-
en to the house where it took a very long
time to revive him. The horses had to
be dug out and the party had not reach-
ed home on Monday. The accident oc-
curred near Franklinville.
Mg. STINE 1s IMPROVING RAPIDLY.
—The condition of Mr. D. C. Stine, who
was so seriously hurt about ten days
ago, while inspecting cars for the C. R.
R. of Pa. is so much improved as to en-
courage strong hopes for his speedy re-
covery. At first it was feared his in-
juries would prove fatal, but we are
pleased to announce that already he is
able to sit up an hour or so during the
day.
‘ ——There is_
lis of Dorging Rebers-
burg’s two whier companies inti one.
J though the convention of the Centre
first class works. “
_ ——Tho Asronsburg eorrespondent to
the Millheim Journal is “fur ninst” a
county poor house.
~——Mr. 8. D. Tobias, a brother of
ex-county Recorder Wm. A. Tobias,
died at the home of his brother in Mill-
heim, on Wednesday evening, after an
ill ness of nearly thirty years, deceased
was bd years old and was a druggist by
profession. About fourteen years ago he
was a clerk in Shugert’s drug store in
this place, but had to give up the work
on account of his health. Funeral ser-
vices will be held tomorrow morning at
Millheim.
CoMING ATTRACTIONS.—Among the

strels expect to give another entertain-

Mes. RoBerT HEPBURN'S DEATH.—
Last Saturday, morning the death ange]
touched the beloved wife of Robert
Hepburn, of this place, and she will
awaken only in eternity. Her death
was somewhat sudden as, aside from a
little touch of rheumatism, she had
been in her usual good health up to
Friday. Her son! Edward had gone
away that day, intending to spend the
ni ght, but some strange impulse seemed
to say to him that he had; better return
home. He did it and shortly after his
arrival there his aged mother expired,
surrounded by the loving. members of
her household.
Mrs. Hepburn was nearly 67 years
old and threesons and a daughter are
loft to mourn with their father, the loss
of their dear mother. She was a sweet
old lady and none knew but to love
her.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church Wednesday afternoon.
Tar MINSTRELS A SUCCESS.—For the
third time Bellefonte’s amateur minstrels
bave scored a decided hit as black face
artists. The performance last Friday
night, at Garman’s, having packed the
house with people who left it well pleas-
ed with the program that had been en-
acted with a dash bordering so closely
on professionalism that many were wont
to criticise with the same freedom that
they claim after witnessing an enter-
tainment not purely amateur.
From the time the curtain was rung
up on the opening ’til the good night
chorus the audience was dazzled by the
whirl of catchy music and pleasing
specialties that crowded on each other so
fast as to leave no time for weariment
during the entirejshow.
As usual the musical end of the pro-
gram was wonderfully well sustained
though several of the soloists were suf-
fering with bad colds and consequently
could not do themselves justice. The or-
chestra was superb. The features of the
show that attracted most attention and
many recalls were: George McMahon
in his solo clog dancing ; Amos Parsons,
in his unique dog entertainment and
dancing , little Willie Rine’s marvelous
whistling, Rine and Bradley’s acrobatic
act, Ben Kettering’s play at jugglery,
Phil Garbrick’s dazzling handling of a
flaming torch and gun evolutions and
the singing of the Imperial quartette
composed of Messrs. Tyson, Harris,
Woodcock and Waddle. The jokes
were all new, the songs catchy and the
show, as a whole, far above many road
entertainments that have visited the
town.
Next Tuesday . night another benefit
performance will be given where a
partial change of program will be
made.

* CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CONVENTION—
From present indications it looks as
county societies of Christian Endeavor
to be held at State College on February
7th and 8th, will be a most helpful as
well as interesting one.
The epeaker for the first evening is
Rev. J. F. Hartman, of Altoona, who is
the State Chairman of the “Good Citi-
zenship’’ committees and whose subject,
“Good Citizenship’ describes a recent
movement which should receive the
careful attention of every thoughtful
man and woman.
‘Dr. William Laurie's address on
“Methods” and the parliament on “Gen-
eral Committee Work,” conducted by
Mr. James P. Hughes, are the features
of Friday morning. The afternoon ses-
gion on ‘Junior C. E. Work’ will be
interesting, although rather short, so as
to enable visitors to see the students of
tbe College at their work in the various
laboratories, and take in an exhibition
drill in the armory.
The convention address in the eve-
ning is by the President of the State C.
E. Union, Rev. J. T. McCrory, D. D,
of Pittsburg, who is a very fine speaker.
The evening will close with consecra-
tion services by Prof. J. M. Willard.
A special train will probably be run to
Bellefonte after the close of the evening
exercises.
