The News tells a most deliberate
lie when 1t says that there is'nt enough
level ground in Bellefonte to accommo-
date Lee’ circus. Barnum and For-
paugh both found enough for their big

vate yards in Bellefonte.

Two BrirLiaNnt WEDDINGS.—
Youngs axp MyEers.—The Roches-
ter N. Y. papers say the wedding, last
Thursday evening, in the third Presby-
terian church in that city, of Miss
Grace Myers and Frank A Youngs was
one of beauty and interest. The church,
which is the largest in the city, was filled
with guests to witness the ceremony at
half past seven, which was solemnized
by the Rev. Dr. Patton assisted by the
Rev. Richard D. Harlan.
“The six bridesmaids, three gowned
in white morie antique Dresden design,
and three in white morie, all wearing
pink roses in bonnet effect and all car-
rying pink roses and maiden hair fern,
separated on entering the church and
proceeded up the side aisles followed by
the ushers. Near the altar they met
and separated three bridesmaids and a
like number of ushers standing on each
The
maid of honor, Miss Mable Myers,
dressed in pink crepe and chifton, and
the bride supported by her father enter"
ed by the centre aisle passing by the
bridesmaids and ushers, who followed
after them and met the groom and his
best man at the altar.
The bride who is a daughter of Mr:
and Mrs. J. H. Myers, is well known
in this place where she has visited a
number of times since the family made
this their home. She is a tall, fine look-
ing girl and looked exceedingly well in
her gown of heavy white satin, duchess
lace and tulle veil. She carried a bou-
quet of orchids and maiden bair fern.
After the ceremony & reception and
supper were given to one hundred and
fifty guests at the home of the bride's
parents.
WARFIELD AND HARRIS.—No social
event this season has created more in-
terest than the marriage, last Tuesday
evening, of Miss Emily E. Harris and
Frank Warfield, which took place: at
the home of the bride’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. John P. Harris.
Although only friends from a dis-
tance and those most intimate with the
family had been invited to the cere-
mony. The house was crowded at halt
after six when Rev. Dr. Laurie of the
Presbyterian church took his place in
the reception room, which was beauti-
fully, though not protusely, decorated
with Easter lilies, white carnations,
smilax and palms. Mary Weaver, the
bride’s niece, and Elizabeth Gephart, J.
W. Gephart’s little daughter, with rib-
bons outlined an aisle for the bridal
party, composed of the ushers, John
and Edward Harris, brothers of the
bride, the groom and his best man,
Charles Wilhelm, of Reading, the little
flower girl, Mary Swoope of Curwens-
ville, and the bride escorted by her
father. The bride, who is a popular
and well-known girl, wore a pure white
satin gown, The bodice trimmed with
real lace and a few sprays of orange
blossoms. Her tulle veil was held in
place by a diamond ornament, a gift
from the groom, and she carried a
shower bouquet of bride’s roses and lil-
ies of the valley. The flowers and rib-
bon girls were in white and carried
white flowers.
Most of the prominent people of the
town attended the reception, which was
given directiy after the ceremony, and
for two hours the rooms were thronged
with friends congratulating the young
couple, and enjoying the social occa-
sion. Miss Margaret Snowden, of Phil-
adelphia, played the wedding march and
Decillo’s orchestra furnished the music
during the reception. The bride and
groom left in a special car on the 9
o’clock train over the Central R. R. of
Pennsylvania of which Mr. Warfield ig
the general freight and passenger agent.
On their return they will go ito house
keeping in their own home on west
Linn street. Many valuable and ex-
quisite presents were received.
A Growing TowN.—The town of
State College holds the same relative
relation to The Pennsylyania State Col-
lege, as the many villas surrounding
them do the larger business cities. Year
by year this centre of learning is attract-
ing thither hundreds of young men in
search of inexpensive education, the bet-
ter fitting them for the battles of life,
while many of the well-to-do farmers,
retiring business and prosessional men
are erecting beautiful homes and re-
moving their families there ; it accord-
ing them ali the convenience of the lar-
ger towns while it opens to their child-
ren golden opportunities for the higher
education at a cost within the reach of
all. Surrounded by every home com-
fort and pleasure, this village has more
than doubled its population within the
past two years and business houses of
every branch are springing up, to which
has been added a well appointed hard-
ware house conducted by genteel and
obliging young wen, who will be
pleased to serve those who favor them
with their patronage. See big advertise-
ment elsewhere.

While drunk Coburn King, hostler at

got into an altercation with merchant
A. Kessler of that place. Hot words
brought on plows and King, drawing

thigh. Bystanders interfered then and
the slasher was put under arrest, given
a hearing and committed to jail for
court, but while eating supper at the
Musser house in the custody of consta-
ble Mensch the man made a rush for
the door and escaped to the mountains,
He is still at large.
Kessler’s injury is a flesh wound
about an inch deep and two inches
long and is not serious.

Court NEWS FOR THE WEEK.—The
work at court this week has been very
slow indeed. Up ’til noon yesterday
only two cases had been heard.” They
were :
Samuel Wolfart, of Loganton, Clin-
ton county, Pa., against his brother’s
wife, Mrs. George Wolfart, of Miles
township. Samuel had loaned his broth-
er about $6,000 at various times and
took a judgment note, and, in compli.
ance with his brother’s request, he nev-
er entered the same. Geo. Wolfart
became involved and gave his wife a
judgment note for money he had bor-
rowed from her. She proceeded upon
the same and secured title to her hus-
band’s property. Samuel entered his
judgment but it was too late to secure
anything. He claims this was a fraud-
ulent proceeding. Verdict for the de-
fendant, Mrs. Gao. Wohifart, was re.
turned.
McCalmont & Co. vs. Eve Sharer
of Taylor township. An action to test
title to property. MeCaimont & Co.
held a judgment against Christ Sharer
and when an effort was made to sell
certain property they supposed to be his,
his wife, Eve Sharer, laid claim to the
same. This case was given to the jury
yesterday at noon. Verdict for Sharer.
; The case of J. A. Lukens vs. Owen
* Jones, both of Philipsburg was taken
up then. Verdict for Lukens.
WILL Go 1x10 BrLast.—1It is almost
certain that the Valentine furnace at
this place will he put in blast again on
next Monday morning and the works
will resume full handed in all depart-
ments. The fires had been banked for
several weeks but the rolling mills and
all the banks except Nigh, where re-
pairs are being made, have been run-
ning right along. With wheat, oats,
cattle, leather and other commodities all
rising in price and increases in wages
everywhere the good times seem return-
ing for sure.
Dickinson vs StaTe.—This after-
noon at 3:15 the Dickinson college base
ball team will give the blue and white
of State a chance to get even for the
defeat the latter suffered at Carlisle on
the opening of the season.
Dickinson has been playing very
good ball this season and an exciting
game will doubtless reward those who
go to sea it. Play will be called at 8:15
sharp, on Beaver field, at State College.
Admission 35 cents.
BASE BALL AT THE
morrow afternoon
Preps. will play the Lock Haven Nor-
mal school base ball club at the College.
A special train will leave here at 1:30
One way fare for round trip. A good
game can be looked for. 3
COLLEGE.--To-
Giants, the jolly colored ball players,
will play State's team on Beaver field.
It will be a great game, well worth see-
ing and will be called at 3:30 sharp.

AN HoNEST BANK PRESIDENT.—
The unexpected return home of James
E. Long, president of the defunct bank
of DuBois, has put quite a new light on
the gloomy outlook for the creditors of
that institution. He started on a trip
{ abroad shortly before the bank closed its
doors and the most natural conclusion
was that he knew all about the impend-
ing crisis. Mr. Long says now the first
be heard of it was on his arrival in Paris
and further :
“The assets of the bank, I am told,
will come within $40,000 of paying
everything. But whatever they lack
will be paid, if I have to pay every
cent of it myself. If the sum needed is
all I have and my wife has to sell her
personal effects and jewelry, no man will
suffer. On the marble shaft above my
| father is the legend : ‘Here lies an hon-
est man.’ I am old and broken in
health, but I will begin anew, without
a cent, if necessary, to square off the ac-
counts, and without staining that
name.”

ATTRACTIVE WINDOW DRESSING. —
The WATCHMAN has been telling its
readers every week about the special
bargain sales at the new Globe store in
this place, but notwithstanding these
sales are becoming very popular with
buyers in this community there is an-
other feature at the Globe that has at-
tracted considerable attention. It isthe
artistic work of their window dresser.
Itis well known thatan attractive
window is one of the best bidsa firm
can make for trade and in the face of
such knowledge we are not surprised to
hear of the increasing popularity of the
Globe. Its windows have been artistic
creations of real merit and if you ap"
preciate anything like a tasteful exhibit
of beautiful things a glance at the
Globe window will always please, if the
present standard is maintained.
This week a floral May pole charms
the eye in the millinery window. It is
an original design and certainly a pret-
