CounciL IN Session —Council met
in its chamber Monday evening, with
all members present but two. The work
was hustled through in a very short
time, owing to the small amount of
business to be transacted. None of the
committees except the finance had any
report to make. This latter reported &
balance due the treasurer of $10,675.49.
Exonerations for taxes for 1891, were
reported to be $964. Council approved
the report.
The borough solicitor was instructed
to settle the water tax with Spangler
and Gephart, for the “brick row,” on
the same basis as last year. With 50
per cent off. Then Gen. Beaver moved
that the borough begin quarrying stone
for the purpose of giving poor people
employment, provided the work can be
done at a cost of fifty cents per cubic
yard. The motion carried.
Council then took up the question of
Bellefonte's centennial exhibition and
formed the following outline for a
program: On June 5th, the laying of
the corner stone of the Curtin monu-
mont. On the 6th, the district fire-
men’s convention. On tha Tih, the
dedication of the new city hall and the

TAKEN SICK IN THE JURY BoX.—
While serving as a juror Will Wood-
ward, of Howard, was taken violently
ill and for & while the Court was thrown
into a great excitement. He was sitting
on the Philipsburg case, which has been
trying ever since Monday evening, and
as the court room has been very poorly
heated all week he contracted a bad
cold. On Wednesday he took some
medicine for it and apparently it was
an over dose for just before noon yester-
day he was seized with a violent fit of
vomiting and did not recover for some
time. He was excused from the jury as
the counsel on both sides agreed to go
on with the case with eleven jurors.
WELL PLEssED Wit WHAT THEY
SAaw.~The House committee on Agri-
culture spent a day at The Pennsylvania
State College last week, looking around
the institution on matters of interest to
their official duties. They came to
Bellefonte on an afternoon train and
visited ex-Representative James Scho-
field in a body. All of the members but
one had been 1n the Legislature with
him and were quite delighted to see
their jolly colleagne again. Jamey
showed them the various points ot ib-
terest in the town and during their stay
they left us to understand that they bad
all been very highly pleased with State
College. The institution was an agree-
able surprise to a number of the com-
mittee and it seemed their general be-
lief that the College ought to have most
anything it wanted in an appropriation
line.
Foster Prepicrs THis KIND oF
WEATHER.— My last bulletin gave fore-
casts of the storm wave to cross the
continent from Jan. 1 to Feb. 4 and Feb.
6 to 10. The next will reach the Pacific
coast about Feb. 11, cress the western
mountain country by close of 12th, the
great central valleys from 13th to 15th
and the eastern states about the 16th.
This disturbance will be at its great-
est force west of the Mississippi river,
and the greatest precipitation will occur
east of that river. The warm wave will
cross the western mountain country
about the 11th, the great central valleys
about 18th and the eastern states about
15th. The cool wave will cross the
western mountain country about the
14th, the great central valleys about
16th and the eastern states about 18th :
SPRING DROUGHT.
The spring drought will begin a little
later than it did in 1894. All the coun-
try east of the meridian 100 and north
of the 40th degree of north latitude, also
the country east of the Mississippi and
north of Tennessee and North Carolina,
will experience a drought in April and
May. Not every locality in the coun-
try will be dry, but a large portion of
the country mentioned. In a larger
portion of the country east of the Miss-
issippi river and south of the Kentucky
and Virginia an excess of rainfall will
occur in April and May. Readers must
not construe the above to mean thata
universal drought will occur in the
north and a universal flood in the south.
It simply means that & deficiency will
occur in the northeast as a whole and an
excess in the southeast asa whole. I have
not yet determined what will be the
rainfall for April and May between the
Rockies and parallel 100. That coun-
try is in doubt.
The above forecast is not reliable for
any one small locality, and it can only
serve as sn indication as to what the
genera! effect on crops will be from a
deficiency northeast and an excess south-
east. Farmers and planters can make
their own estimates and determine what

THE PENNsYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE
FRESHMEN BANQUET THEMSELVES.-—
The Freshman class of The Pennsyl-
vania State College has ‘‘scored on”
the Sophs and while the upper class-
men are cussing their luck the under-
lings are happy in the thought that
and not even 2 “scrap” marred the
pleasure of its consummation.
It has been a custom of the College
authorities this season to give each of
the classes a sled ride and when it came
the Freshmen’s turn, last Friday night,
there was never a suspicion of such a
thing afloat, but those embryo students
didn’t do =» thing but tumble in under
the good warm blankets and come down
here for their first annual banquet. The
Bush House was their destination and
proprietor Daggett and his corps of as-
sistants were ready to receive them, for
be had been notified long before and
the banquet that was spread in the
spacious dining rooms was a master work
of culinary skill. Becide each cover laid
a beautiful menu embossed in the class
colorg, a unique red and black 98.”

When the last course had been served
and the smoke from the cigars
hung curling about the festooned
chandeliers Roy Albert MacDonald, as
toast master, rapped the class to order
and called for responses to the various
toasts proposed on the menu. The boys
all bad something jolly to say and
when James Wallace White had put
the last touches on his painting of the
class’ future they left the dining rooms
and spent the rest of the night in little
‘groups, scattered through the wide cor-
ridors of the hotel, recounting Col-
lege experiences, singing songs and en-
joying themselves in whatever way
suited their tastes, for Mr. Daggett had
insured them a good time and the house
was theirs.
AccipENTALLY KILLED HIMSELF. —
On Thursday of last week, Scott Beck-
with, who lives near the foot of the
Alleghenies, on the road from Port
Matilda to Philipsburg, was loading his
rifle preparatory to going hunting, when
the gun was accidentally discharged,
the ball entering his jaw and penetra-
ting the brain. The unfortunate young
man lived only an hour after the ac-
cident occurred and his death was par-
ticularly sad since he leaves a bride of
only a few months and an aged mother
without husband, son or any apparent
means of support. The shooting was
witnessed by a little girl who was in
the house at the time. Deceased was
just 21 years ot age and worked at any-
thing be could find to do. An inquest
returned the following verdiet :

IN JAIL For AssaurT.—On Monday
afternoon August Prentis, a woodsman,
who had been arrested at Mill Hall last
week, after having eluded the officers
for several months, waslgiven a hearing
in Lock Haven, charged by Miss Perry,
a pretty school teacher, with having at-
tempted an assault on her. She told the
followin g story : :
“She had been teaching school at Keat-
ing and one evening after dismissing
her pupils she returned to the school
house to get her pocketbcok which she
had forgotten. After she entered the
building Prentis followed, closed the
door and locked it. She requested that
he open the door, which he refused. He
then grabbed her, knocked her down, and
when she attempted to rise he knocked
her down again, when she made another
attempt to rise ; the third time he struck
her, her head struck something and
she became unconscious... When he
was striking her she offered, Prentis her
pocketbook, containing twenty-five dol-
lars, and a gold watch, with the hope
that he would desist, but this he refused,
with the angry reply that he would kill
her if she would not succumb to his
lecherous demand.”
In default of bail Prentis was sent to
jail. His bravado manner at the hear-
ing has led many to believe him guilty.

jury.
a
Toe WEEK IN TRADE.—In summing
up last week’s business record Dunn’s
Review put the situation as follows:
“Things look better near the close this
week, because it is believed that a new
loan will be negotiated. There was
need for relief, since January closed
with the heaviest exports of gold ever
made in any month, and the heaviest
withdrawals of gold from the Treasury,
$43,368,108, the hope of a new loan be-
ing the one thing which has lifted prices
during the past few days. January
leaves behind it the lowest average of
prices for all eccmmodities ever known ;
for cotton, iron and its products, woo)
and silver, the lowest monthly average
ever known ; and for wheat a range
above the minimum, but yet declining
rapidly toward that puint. Industrial
operations have not materially diminish-
ed, though it has been a disappointing
month because the general revival ex-
pected has not come.”
