There will not be many more attrac-
tions this season, so if you care to see
any more you had better not miss this
one.
——Among the new advertisements
that appear this week is that of Miss
Blanche Straub, whose ladies’ furnish.

her place in the Aiken’s block on Alle-
gheny street. She is offering bargainsin
Kai Ki silks, sponge crepon for inter-

hastened to his rescue and made the
itinerent umbrella fixer return his ill
gotten gain.

— Philipsburg amateurs posed in
living pictures Thursday night and of

be given. The Ledger says they have a
young lady over there ‘who looked the
character to perfection, but nothing was
said as to the likeness of her feet to the
jdeal whom ‘Little Billee’” loved so
fondly—But then this is a sensitive sub-
ject with the average Philipsburger.
——Many little social entertainments
had already told that the penitential
Lenten period was over, but it remained
for the Seniors of The Pennsylvania
State College to erd all doubt as to the
length of time the gay set would refrain
from dancing. Their spring assembly
in the Armory, last Friday night, at-
tracted un large number of strangers to
the college. The dance was simply a
repetition of the many delightiul affairs
already given there under Senior patron-
age and every-one seemed thoroughly
charmed with the time they had.
Morris McCAFFERTY PRoBABLY Lost
His Lire YESTERDAY AFTERNOON—One
of the saddest accidents that has occuf-
red in this town for some time was
that by which pretty little Morris Me-
Cafferty has probably lost his life.
He is the 8 year old son of James
McCafferty, who lives at the glass
works, and met withthe accident while
hanging on a freight car, just below
the C. R. R. of Pa. station in this
place, yesterday afternoon.
He had been over at the oil house
until the local freight came in with a
box car ahead. It stopped just below
the station until the passenger train,
that was made up on the main track
ran out. Morris ran over and was just
climbing on to the front of the box car,
when the passenger started and at the
game time the freight started to push
up to the station. The jolt of starting
knocked the little fellow off. He fell
under the car and one wheel cut his
left leg nearly off. It was just hang:
ing on when conducter Hoag, of the
freight, picked him up, after both
trains had been stopped. He was sent
to his home, whea Dr. Seibert did all
in his power to relieve his suffering.
Up to the time of our going to press
last night reaction had not set in
and it was unable to determine wheth-
er he would survive. If he does an
amputation will be made this morning,
but the physician feared he would not
live through the nizht.
He was one of the cutest looking,
most interesting little boys in town and
no one has ever looked into those grea,
brown eyes without expressing admira-
tion for the child. He was as bright as
wherever he went.
THE LATE Sets H. YocuMm.--The
death of Hon. Seth H. Yocum occurred
at his home in Passadensa, Cal., on
Thursday, April 18th, after a long illness.
At one time he was one of Belle-
fonte’s foremost citizens, having built
the fine home on the Milesburg pike
now occupied by Mr. Edward Shoe-
maker. He was a native of Columbia
county, and came to Bellefonte in 1874,
to succeed his lamented brother, George
M. Yocum, in the law firm of Bush,
Yocum & Hastings. Mr. Geo. Yocum
having met 2 sad death by the acci-
dental discharge of his gun while deer
bunting on the Alleghenies.
Yocum was a polished gentleman, bril-
liant in conversation and of a literary
turn of mind. He became very promi-
nent in this section in the campsign of |
1878, when, as a Greenback candidate,
he defeated the late ex-Governor A. G.
Curtin for Congressman from this dis-
trict.
Several years after his return fron
Washington he retired from the prac-
tice of law and moved to Johnson City,
Tenn., where he superintended the
operations of a large tannery, owned by
his father-in-law, the wealthy John Hor-
ton, whose son is now vice president of
the U. S. Leather Co. His health
failed while living in Tennessee, and he
moved thence to Passadena where he
has led a retired life ever since.
Deceased was about 60 years oid and
leaves a widow with five children, three
of whom are at home and two sons,
Charles and John, both being located in
New York, where they are employed by
the U. S. Leather Co.

Philadelphia, where he was engaged in
business until six years ago, when he

A CHiLp TrAIN WRECKER. — A
twelve year old boy, named Prestcn
‘Watson, who had been in jail here
a few days ago awaiting trial for
attempted train wrecking was ad-
judged too young to be amenable to
the law and was discharged by the court
on Wednesday.
On Monday of last week a west bound
freight train on the Beech Creek rail-
road ran into a rail-road tie that had
been placed on the track & short distance
west of Gillilandtown, near Snow Shoe.
Fortunately the tie was very rotten and
the engine cut it in two without being
derailed. :
Three boys were arrested for putting
the obstruction on the track. They are
Preston Watson, Robert Cooper and
William Shope, all of Snow Shoe, and
about twelve years old. The two lat-
ter were released after young Watson
had confessed himself as the culprit. He
gave as his reason for doing it “I wanted
to hear the engine screech.” The little
fellow must have had a very meagre
idea of the seriousness of his crime, as
he might have been the cause of the loss
of many lives through his trying to
make ‘‘the engine screech.”
