——The stories of Bellefonte corres-
pondents to city papers to the effect that
the Bellefonte Furnace Co’s. plant is
preparing to go in blast soon, is like
most of their news. A lie.
Harry Taylor has resigned his
position with McCalmont & Co., im-
plement dealers, to accept the position
as driver for the Adams Express Co.
vice Herbert Shaffer resigned.
——The McCoy & Linn iron works,
near Milesburg, have started up with

idle nearly all winter, but are now run-
ning full handed in all departments.

ing are some of the external changes
planned.
— Nigh ore bank near this place,

sons hardware dealers of this place have

Tue First NATIONAL BANK Has
ELECTED A PRESIDENT.--The vacancy
caused by the death of the late E. C.
Humes Esq., was filled by the directors
of the First National bank here on last
Tuesday morning, when they elected Dr.
George F. Harris, a son-in-law of the
late Andrew G. Curtin, president of that
institution. There had been considerable
speculation as to who would be made
president and indeed the bank’s direc-
tors came very near having the work all
done for them by the chronic gossips of
the town.
At the meeting Tuesday morning the
eligibility of several gentlemen was dis-
cussed and the position was offered to
Robert Valentine and William P.
Humes, both of whom were disinclined
to accept it because of extensive outside
interests. Then the directors took the
matter under advisement and it was de-
cided to make the office of president one
that would require as little attention as
possible and under such conditions Dr.
Harris was prevailed upon to accept it.
He is an individual share-holder, besides
representing the extensive Curtin in-
terest in the bank. The position will
require very little of his time, as he
would not accept any office that would
interfere with his extensive practice, in
the least.
Col. James P. Coburn, of Aarons-
burg, was elected to make up the com-
plement of five directors, who are : Geo,
F. Harris, president ; Robert Valentine
Esq., William P. Humes, John B. Linn
Esq., and Jas. P. Coburn. They meet
weekly to direct the bank and their in-
structions will be carried out by cashier
John P. Harris and book-keepers W. P.
Humes and Moses Montgomery, while
Dr. Harris will draw a nominal , salary
for supervising the work and signing the
necessary bank papers. An idea of the
financial rating of the First National
can be had when we say that its stock,
$100, per share at par, is valued at $160,
with none of it for sale.
The pleasant features of the new or-
ganization are that it will bring Col.
Coburn, whom everyone admires so
much, up to Bellefonte at least once a
week and that it will not rob the medi-
cal fraternity of the town of one of its
greatest ornaments—as was at first
feared.

day of last week Mr. James Hamilton,
of Willowbank street, celebrated the
91st anniversary of his birth. A large
party of his friends and neighbors hav-
ing dropped in to congratulate him and
make the day a memorable one. Mr.
Hamilton is Bellefonte’s oldest resident
and is truly a remarkable man. Though
within nine years of being an hundred
years old he finds no difficulty in walk-
ing about the town and his mental
faculties are just as concise and quick
as they were forty years ago. Almost
every day be is seen driving back and
forth on the streets and it is said that be
takes genuine delight in driving out to
his farm, near Pleasant Gap. and spend-
ing half a day roaming over the broad
acres there, tho supervision of which he
has never thought of resigning to young-
er hands. He starts his new year in
best of health and with the earnest
wishes of a legion of friends that he may
live to round out the century at least.

——On Sunday the body of an old
German named Henry Bonneka, who
had led a recluse life in Altoona for

edly the motive.

formation of the baggagemasters of the

queer looking pauper on Benner town-
ship, who can’t be induced to stay any-
where but right in Bellefonte. He was
one of the fellows whom Bellefonte’s
snatch penny correspondents reported
perished in the blizzard last winter. Old
Jake is a well known character in many
parts of the county, for he is continually
on the tramp end has always felt so
much at home everywhere that he would
