culty. The storm was severe and hard-
ly anything was saved, the house and
store being totally destroyed. It is feared
Mrs. Williams’ will not survive the
shock.
Bx PREPARED FOR A GREAT FLOOD— }
It has more than likely dawned upon
the minds of our readers, who live near
streams sensitive to floods, that when
|
|
i
the unusual blanket of snow, that covers | 3 on
| have organized a bar association with
the ground in this section, begins to
melt there will besuch a body of water
seeking some natural outlet that all the
streams will be swollen to unprecedent-
ed volume. We advise all to be pre-
pared for the floods when they do come,
but hope, meanwhile, that the melting
of the snow will be so gradual as to
make them not near so disastrous as first
thought pictures them. To give you an
iden of what volume of water there is in
the snow that covers the ground we can
illustrate best by telling a little incident
that occurred on Halfmoon hill, in this
place, Monday morning.
Since retiring from the superinten-
dency of the Bellefonte gas and steam
heat works Mr. Robert McKnight and
his family has occupied & house in that
quarter. The water mains do not run
on the hill, consequently people up there
depend on cisterns. Mr. McKnight’s
cistern having ‘gone dry,” as they say,
he set about to melt snow, on Monday
morning, avd filled a large wash boiler
which he packed as hard as he could.
When the snow had all been reduced to
water his curiosity led him to see what
quantity of water the snow had made.
Upon measurement it was found that
the boiler, which is, 12} inches deep, con-
tained just 8} inches of water, a little
over one-fourth the volume of snow that
bad been putin. Thus it will be seen
that the snow on the ground will event-
ually be reduced to about one-fourth
as much water as its present volume,
The question that presents the most
alarming phase, however, is: Will it go
off with a quick thaw, or gradually ? If
the former there will undoubtedly be a
great flood, but if the thaw is gradual
the volume of water that will drain off
through natural channels will be great-
ly reduced, since there being very little
frost in the ground a large amount of
the water will be taken up by it. Tt
will be best to be prepared for the worst,
for should a rain add to the melting
snows the floods will be most disastrous.
A NrwsprarER Lie.—The reportsent
to the city papers from this place to the
effect that “Davy’’ Kochler had frozen
tr death in the storm last Friday con-
tained about as much truth as half the
other trash that Bellefonte’s catch-penny
correspondents work off as telegraphic
news on their papers. This is the sec-
ond case this winter with which State
papers have been bamboozled. Only a
few weeks ago Mr. Henry Rothrock was
reported to have perished while driving
to Snow Shoe, when he was at home in
his warm house all the time. When
last Friday's storm came these avaricious
news mongers were at a loss for some-
thing to color their stories of the bliz-
zard with, so they straightway thought
it would be a brilliant stroke to have
“Davy” frozen. Knowing that he is
an itinerent peddler, carrying a pack in
all sorts of weather, and troubled with a
nervous affection that really would have
rendered him helpless in such a storm as
last Friday’s, they sent out the report
that he had perished. A credulous pub-
lic believed the tale amd it soon was!
noised about in all quarters. The ap-
pended note from “Davy” shows how
much truth there was in 1t and also that
while they had him dead in a snow drift
near State College he was miles away
from that locality.
PurLirspurG, Feb. 11, 1895.
Dear Sik —The report that I froze to death
near Lemont, is false. I was over here in Clear-
field, Co. at the time and in the best of health.
Yours truly

Don’t ForGET W ASHINGTON’S BIRTH-
pAY.—Don’t forget Gregg posts hot tur-
key dinner Feb. 22, for 85 cents. Din-
ing rooms open from 11:30 a. m., to 2:30
p. m., and continue on the restaurant
plan until 11 o’clock p. m. Don’t forget
that Gregg post has the finest lodge
rooms in Central Pennsylvania. The
walls are hung with the pictures of the
greatest generals and statesmen of the
late war, also there are in the post rooms
quite a lot of relics of the late war.
Tables made of guns ; canon and swords
that were in the late war. A visit to
the rooms is worth all the dinner costs.
Don’t forget that we are ail old soldiers
and that there is nota man in the Grand
Army of the Republic, under 47 years
old, and that the organization will only
be in existence a few years more as those
are only eligible to membership who
have an honorable discharge from the
U. S. service between 1861 and 1865.

fame, is the representative to the Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association of Penn-
sylvania meeting to be held soon and is
instructed to vote to hold the spring
meeting at Harrisbarg.
That the Academy, high as it is
and exposed to every blast that blows,
was comfortably warm last Friday and
not obliged to suspend business as the
Court House and every other school in
the town was, is something of a phe-
nomenon and is much to the credit of
the managers of that institution and the
Maitland system of heating, which it
uses.
——George Thompson and James
Meyers, wagered twenty dollars, in a
Lock Haven hotel last Friday, that the
former could not leave that place in the
evening and arrive in Chicago, by noon

reached the Windy city at 7:40 Sunday
morning. Meyers thought he wouldn't
be able to get through on account of the
snow, but hedid.
Mrs. Margaret Derr, aged 73
years, formerly a resident of this place,
died in the Home for the Friendless, in
Williamsport, last Thursday from ill-

Mrs. Derr, was a resident of Bellefonte
and her remains were brought here for
burial. She was the mother of James
Derr, of this place, and was provided
for by her other son Frank who lives
in Williamsport.
——There is a bill before the Legis-
lature to stop the killing of pheasant for
market purposes for a period of ten
years. It will be unlawful, if the meas.
ure passes, to kill pheasant for sale or
have them for sale, but they can be
hunted for one’s own use. Sucha law
will not do much in the way of protec-
ting the game birds. What we should
have is a law prohibiting their being
killed at all for a period ot about five
years.
——A kitchen range in the home of
W. K. Calvert, of Altoona, exploded
last Friday fatally injuring his aged
father-in-law Jacob Daniels, who died
at the hospital Saturday evening,
and breaking the legs and arms of two
children and terribly scalding a domes-
tic. The pipes had been frozen up and
when a fire was made in the range the
explosion occurred. Mr. Calvert just
buried his young wife on the preceding
Saturday. Aged Mr. Daniels was
a resident of Stormstown, this county,
and had been at Altoona at the time of
Mrs. Calvert’s death. She was his
youngest daughter. His remains were
brought to Stormstown yesterday morn-
ing. Deceased was 78 years old.
HarDpsHIPS OF PIONEER LIFE IN
CLEARFIELD CoUNTY.—The Philips-
burg Ledger tells the following bit of
interesting news about some of the pri-
vations suffered by the people who set.
tied the little colony that now bears the
name of Frenchviile. in Clearfield coun-
ty:
“We had a very pleasant call yes-
terday from Mr. Charles Viard, of South
Philipsburg. Mr. Viard’s father was one
of the early residents of Frenchville, and
his story of the privations the founders
of that little bit of transplanted France
endured is interesting and pathetic. Mr.
Viard’s own story is worth telling in
brief. His uncle came first to Awerica,
and after he had been here a few years
wrote for his brother to come. The
family landed at New York in the early
fall and the uncle sent a friend to bring
them to Frenchville with $200 he had
saved to pay their expenses. Through
some misfortune the friend lost the
money, or was robbed. The uncle could
not send them more as he had no more,
so the family, consisting of the father
and mother and four little children, one
a babe in arms, bravely set out on foot
to walk to Frenchville, 300 miles.
Charles was only 5 years old, but he
says the memory of that tiresome jour-
ney is indelibly stamped on his memory.
The poor little stock of money the father
had was carefully husbanded to buy
eatables, and sometimes kind people
took pity on them and gave them food
and lodging, but generally they slept
in barns and cattle sheds. They fol-
lowed the Susquehanna river from Har-
risburg to Lock Haven and from there
‘went to Bellefonte and Snow Shoe, ar-
riving at their destination in midwinter
in freezing weather, shoeless and nearly
naked. The last franc the father had
was spent at Central Point for food.
But at Frenchville they found kind
friends, a warm home, food and cloth-
ing, and in the joy of meeting the good
toncle” the pain and misery they had
endured was forgotten. Not forgotten
exactly, but it was like a dreadful
dream."
A ResuME oF TRADE FOR THE
WEeEK.—1In Dunn's Review we find the
following summary of business for the
week ending Feb. 9th, 1895:
“A whole week, the confident expec-
tation of the sala of bonds has kept back
exports of gold. Withdrawals from the
Treasury amounted to about $2,000,000,
but were mainly for domestic purposes.
No bond bill has passed or is likely to
pass Congress, and in the two months
ending with February 1st the Treasury
actually lost $67,000,000 in gold, of
which $40,400,000 went into circula-
tion, and $25,300,000 besides the product
of the mines went abroad. How to ar-
rest this outgo in either direction is a
problem which another issue of bonds
may possibly solve. It is hoped that
the negotiations with foreign bankers
may secure some improvement, though
it is clear that sales of securities there
will have the same effect as it the bonds
were placed in this country, and they
may not be stopped by the new trans-
actions. In other respects the domestic
money market is decidedly encourag-
ing, with a fairly hopeful increase in
transactions of commercial paper, though
receipts of money from the interior con-
tinue surprisingly large for the season.
The condition of industries, if not de-
finitely better, at least presents some
points of encouragement
The failures for the month of January
show an aggregate of $15,103,292 liabi-
Dities against $29,843,028 last year, and
in manutacturing only $3,728,587 against
$11,589,715 last year, while in trading
the liabilities were $11,055,105 against
$17,284,587 last year. The remarkably
large decrease in manufacturing failures
deserves the more attention because
prices of manufactured products have so
greatly declined during the year, and
the output has been greatly reduced.
Failures for the past week have been
981 in the United States, against 385
last year, and 58 in Canada against 60
last year.
WiLL BELLEFONTE HAVE A SHIRT
FACTORY.—At a special meeting of the
Bellefonte Board of Trade, held on Tues-
day night, the special committee com-
posed of Messrs. Hammon Sechler and
F. W. Crider, that visited Lewistown,
with a view to investigating the shirt
factory made its report. The gentlemen
bad visited Lewistown and made a com-
plete investigation of the enterprise that
wants to locate here. They were very
much pleased with it and seemed to
think it & good thing. There had been
a factory at Lewistown, operated by a
stock company. Of late it has not’ been
in operation and a Mr. Parker, who had
been its manager, is desirous of getting
in business for himself. Accordingly
he visited Bellefonte and sought the
assistance of the Board of Trade. His
straightforward manner won him con-
sideration and a committee was appoint.
ed to investigate. This was done and
the report Tuesday night followed.
Mr. Parker’s plan is to form a stock
company here with a capital of $10,000
of which amount he will subscribe a
tenth and go to work at once. Em-
ploying at least seventy-five hands.
The Board will appoint a committee
to solicit subscriptions and recommends
the enterprise to our people. Let us
have a shirt factory.

Forest PrRESERVATION.—The fate of
the forestry bill apparently depends on
a very simple thing. The bill contains
a paragraph, providing that ‘Every
person assisting to suppress a forest fire
when called on for such service by a fire
warden shall be entitled to payment at
a daily rate not greater than one dollar
and fifty cents per day, or proportionate-
ly for parts of & day. The contention
of the critics or opponents of the bill is
that persons still unhung might starg
forest fires for the purpose of putting
them out at the rate of $1.50 a day. The
friends of the bill argue that the para-
graph should remain so that Pennsyl-
vania might find out what forest fires
The point is a
that the well-intentioned measure may
fall through, is a matter of great regret
to all who have knowledge of the im-
portance of the subject ot forest preser-
vation.—Lock Haven Democrat.
WHERE You CAN Buy THE CHEAP-
EST.—-It is a question of dollars and
cents afterall. No matter what people
say it is as natural to save a penny in
buying as it is to eat dinner at the din-
ner hour. Opportunities to make great
savings are not often to be had, but
Lyon & Co’s., big advertisement in
this issue affords just such a chance.
Read it and profit by the bargains it
holds out. A dollar saved is a dollar

Miss Harriet R. Meek, youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher E.
Meek, of Altoons, was married at her
home in that place cn Tuesday the 12th,
to Mr. William C. Snyder, train master
of the Altoona division of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. J. Ellis Bell, as-
sisted by the Rev. William Moses, and
was followed by a delightful supper.
The bride, who is a very pretty and
bright girl, was gowned in white bengal-
ine trimmed with duchesse lace and
carried bride roses. The young couple
will be at home after February 20th, at
Broad avenue and Twenty-fifth street.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR OFFICERS.—
The great storm last week put a damper
on the county convention of Christian
Endeavor societies that was held at State
College, last Thursday and Friday. The
roads being blockaded the attendance
was small and the advertised program
necessarily changed.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, J. Mal-:
colm Laurie, of Bellefonte; Secretary,
Robt. Irvin, of Bellefonte, Vice Presi-
dents, J. L. Holmes, of State College ;
John Russell, of Philipsburg, and Budd
