provements.
——The citizens of the vicinity of the
rail-road crossing at Geo. W. Jackson
& Co's mill have petitioned Supt. E. B.
‘Westfall to put a watchman there.
Council joined in the petition. It is
certainly a very dangerous crossing
4nd should be guarded 1n some way.
~——Af an executive meeting cf the
district firemen's association, held at
‘Osceola recently, the time for holding

considerable interest to Bellefonters. It
proposes the appropriation of $5,000 for
the erection of a pedestal for a statue of
the late ex-Gov. Curtin at this place.
The bill will more than likely pass and
in such an event the monument fund
will receive a very material boost.
——The court refused to grant an or-
der for the payment of expenses incur-
red by holding an inquest over the
body of Scott Beckwith, who accidental-
ly shot himself at his home near Port
Matilda recently. Judge Love held
that there was no necessity for holding
an inquest as a member of Mr. Beck-
with’s family was present when the
accident occurred and consequently
thera could have been no question as to
the ina nor in which be met his death.

ance of $8,632.03 due tke borough treas-
urer and then after approving bills,
aggregating $2,784.05 the old council
adjourned sine die.
Immediately thereafter John B. Linn
Hsq. appeared in the council chamber
and administered the oath of office to
Harry Keller, new member from the
North ward ; W. R. Brackbill, new
member from the South ward and W.
ward. The new council organized at
once by the election ot John C. Miller,
as president and Isaac Mitchell as clerk
for the ensuing year. The session then
adjourned until evening.

Gares were retained.
Regular business was then taken up
and disposed of as follows; Daniel
Snyder’s request for a boardwalk on the
east side of North Allegheny street re-
ferred to the Street committee. A com.
munication from Col. Wm. Short-
lidge on the water question was referred
to the Water committee. John S.
Waite appeared and asked permission to
lay three iron rails under Water street,
near the High street bridge, his pur-
pose being to move a little building
thereon in which he will have a bicycle
repair shop and salesroom. Council
granted the permission with the under-
standing that no entrance is to be made
from High street.
Other business of trifling import was
considered and council adjourned. An
idea of how much the expenses of the
borough have grown can be had from a
look at the statement when it is pub-
lished.

Finep ror CoNTEMPT OF COURT.—
Poor overseers McClure and Miller were
taken before Judge Love, on Wednes-
day morning, and fined $50 each for con-
tempt of court. A year or more ago
the Danville insane asylum received a
judgment against the borough of Belle-
fonte for the maintenance of two pa.
tients whom the present overseer, Mc-
Clure, claimed had been entered for
treatment irregularly. Notwithstand-
ing the decree of court the overseer
ignored the attachment and paid no at-
tention to it, until Wednesday when
the Sheriff was given a writ to take both
of them: before the court.
The fine will be revoked if the over-
seers pay the claim within five days. It
would be a good thing if McClure
wou ld have to pay the fine all himself,
for he has piled a big bill of costs on the
borough already through his senseless
litigation in the case in question. He
knew at the start that the bill was a
legitimate one and should have paid it
at once so as not to lose the credit of the
borough at Danville, for only a few
weeks ngo that institution refused to ad-
mit a patient from this place beeause
our bills were nt paid.
and after a few felicitations to retiring
members the report of the finance com- !
T. Hillibish, re-elected from the West
The first business session of the new!
ing committees for the year as follows :
——Turb Kreamer bas moved from
this place back to his former home at
~ Aaronsburg.
~——Many potatoes are said to have
been frozen in Warrior'smark valley
_ during the recent blizzard.
——Four year old Florence Manley,
of Canton, Pa., was burned so badly,
. by her clothing catching fire, that she
| died.
| ——The Lock Haven board of trade
is nibbling at the bait on the hook with
which a tapestry mill is fishing for a
“location.
1 -
——A Lock Haven boy’s pet cat at-
| tacked his pet pigeon last Friday after-
noon and in the scrimmage the cat fared
! much worse than the bird.
——A. G. Morris and Sons, Tyrone
| machinists, have contracted to manu-
facture the Bliven steam generator, the
| invention of 8 New York marine archi-
| tect.
——The Tyrone post office is to be
moved from its present location to &
room in the Conrad block. The present
quarters are too small for the growing
needs of the office.
—— Charles Woodin, a Tyrone hotel
man, has purchased a seventeen acre
field near that place for a consideration
of $3,000. A race track that he has al-
ready commenced building was the in-
centive.
—A notable wedding that took
place near Spruce Creek the other day
was that of Mr. Rush H. Howell, of
Tyrone and Miss Lizzie W. Henderson
the pretty daughter of D. P. Hender-
son Esq.
——Three hundred conversions have
rewarded a protracted meeting that has
been going on in the first Methodist
church in Huntingdon since last fall.
During the same time the second Metho-
dist church has added one hundred and
eighteen converts to its roll.
——The P. R. R. station at Mill Hall
was burglarized on Saturday night
while the employees were at supper.
About $20 were taken from the safe.
The burglars entered through a room
in the rear of the office, the transom
having been broken to effect an en-
trance.
——An exchange says: ‘Farmers
are being caught on the billboard privi-
lege racket. Two men paint a sign on
the farmer's fence and give him a few
dollars to guarantee them that no one
else will be permitted to paint sign®
over them. The farmer is asked to sign
a receipt acknowledging the payment of
the money in order that they can return
the same to their employer. The re-
ceipt which he signs turns out to be a
promissory note for $200 or $500, as the
case may be.
——Charles Frohman’s “Charley’s
Aunt” company, that played at Gar-
man’s last Saturday night, was by long
odds an organization of the cleverest
comedians that has visited Bellefonte
this season. A fair sized audience was
thoroughly amused from start to finish
of the clean cut comedy. It isan up to
date production without a song or a
dance or a joke, other than the one
great joke around which the plot is so
neatly woven. This was the second one
of Frohman’s companies to play in
Bellefonte this season and our people
have learned now that the name of the
great theatrical impresario is alone a
sufficient gaarantee that any attraction
under his management will be worth
seeing.
— The Bellefonte Board of Trade
was to have bad a meeting last Tuesday
evening to consider some important
business, but as no one but the officers
appeared the meeting was not called to
order. Two communications regarding
industries wanting locations were ready
to be presented had there been a quorum
present to act on them. One is
from the Dougherty Typewriting Co.,
and the other from some gentlemen
who controls a patent for the manufac-
ture of structural glass, both of which
seemed to have sa business-like ring.
The latter letter referred to the idle
glass works here and the writer thought
the plant would be an excellent one if
the proper gncouragement were offered.
OperRA HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS. —
Manager Garman has awarded the
Phenix planing mill company the con-
tract to make some much needed im-
provements in the opera house. The
last row of seats will be taken out and a
glass partition built around where it
stood. This will separate the main por-
tion of the house from the foyer. One
staircase only will be used for entrance
to the gallery. The proposed changes
will be made at once and will add much
to the comfort of the house. as it will
prevent drafts frem the rear and stop
the annoyance always oocasioned by
those going to and from the gallery.
If Mr. Garman would remove about
four rows of seats in the house and give
the others more space he would do more
other way
for his patrons than he could in any’
THE WORK OF THE LICENSE COURT—
A larger attendance than usual was
present at court during the fore part of
the week, for the licenses were to be
disposed of and fifty-three applicants
were on the qui vive until Judge Love
eitber blasted their hopes or granted
their petition.
The fact that a new court was to deal
with the licenses probably had as much
to do with the increased number of ap-
plicants a8 anything, but it was under-
stood also that many promises had been
made prior to the election. Just who
made them is not known, but they were
understood to be sanctioned at head-
quarters, hence many of tha fellows who
worked for Love's election had reason,
at least, to imagine they would get li-
cense. But, like ‘Squire Osmon, of Port
Matilda, and his pass to the Hastings
inauguration, they found that Republi
can promises didn’t amount to much,
Nearly all of the old applicants were
granted license and only three of the
entire lot had remonstrances to fight.
These were Jas. A. Decker, at Pine
Grove Mills, against whose application
there was a strong remonstrance both in
Ferguson and College townships, E.
Korman, at Aaronsburg, had a remon-
strance filed to offset his petition, claim-
ing that a license was not needed at
that place, owing to its proximity to
Millheim ; W. H. Spangler’s applica-
tion, at Blanchard, was opposed for the
same reason and all three were knocked
out.
The following is the disposition the
court has made of the cases thus far.
The soveral cld ones held over are no
in danger of losing their license. They
are orly being held until some changes
are made in the bonds they have filed.
These were granted :

A WeppINGg.—At Mr. William Ker-
stetter’s at Pleasant Gap, on Wednes-
day evening, Feb. 27, at 6:30 o’clock, in
the presence of a few friends, Mr. Am-
mon M. Kerstetter and Miss Clara T.
Barnes, both of Pleasant Gap. Pa. were
united in marriage by Rev. J. C.
Young. Miss Jennie Twitmire was
bridesmaid and Mr. Harry Hile was
groomsman.
Mr. Ammon M. Kerstetter and his
amiable bride are two of Pleasant Gap’s
most popular young people. They set
sail on the matrimonial sea with the
best wishes of their many friends. May
peace and prosperity ever attend them,
as they glide over thesea of time, and
when the voyage is over, we hope they
may land safely in the beautiful haven

McCaLMoNT & Co. WIEL PrOBA-
BLY MovE.—The fact that McCalmont
& Co., implement dealers of this place,
have leased the buildings and yards of
the J. S. Waite Co., on Water street,
seems to indicate that they intend
changing their location in the spring.
Inability to make satisfactory terms
with the owners of the building they
occupy now has forced them to lease the
Waite property. Itis understood that
the Waites will go out of the imple-
ment business soon and their location
will make an excellent one for McCal-
mont & Co.
ORATORS FOR COMMENCEMENT.—The
men who have been selected to orate at
the commencement exercises when the
class of '95 will be graduated from The
Pennsylvania State College are Byron

A New TowNsHIP FoR CENTRE
CouxnTy.—In answer to a lengthy peti-
tion the court appointed a commission
of viewers to decide whether & new
township should be made out of the
northern precinct of Boggs and the east
precinct of Snow Shoe townskips. The
viewers were Jesse Cleaver, surveyor,
John Hoy Jr. and J. H. Holmes ap-
pointed May 5th, 1804, Their report
was filed on the 23rd of the following
August and stated that there 1s “oe-
casion for such a new township, and it
is necessary for the convenience and pre-
tection of citizens of said township.” At
the same time they filed a survey of the
proposed township. It embraced all of
the north precinct of Boggs and that
part of the east precinct of Snow Shoe
lying south of Beech creek from the
Curtin township line to near the old
Snow Shoe pike.
On Saturday, March 16th, an elec-
tion will be held for the residents of the
territory included at which they can ex-
press their wishes in the matter. It
will be held at the regular polling
places. . Should the plan carry it will
greatly reduce the taxes of the people
living in the new township, for they
will receive large revenue from unseat-
ed lands and will have only one school
and few roads to keep up.
