way that would open the eyes of a brag
house-keeper.
The bands in Bellefonte are hard
at work practising for the many calls
that will be made for their services this
summer. A little walk on Logan street,
Monday evening, found the Undine
players assembled in the engine house
playing away as if their lives depended
on it. They were making good music
too and during our stay ran over some
Tue CENTENNIAL. —AL & joint meet-
ing of the Centennial committees held in
the court house, Friday evening, the
finance committee reported that enough
the proposed celebration. This insures
a big time for Bellefonte in June and ig
to make it the grandest demonstration
over witnessed in Central Pennsylva-
nia.
All of the committees reported their
lines of work already laid out. The
committee on parade having secured the
exhibit of our industries. The
works committee reported the comple-
tion of arrangements for a magniticent
pyrotechnic display which will be made
on the island in Spring creek, just above
this office. A more suitable locaticn
for such a display could not be found
anywhere in town. The men who will
have it in charge will thus be removed
from the interference
there will be a better opportunity for the
crowds tc witness the scene. Then the
effect of the vari-colored lights on the
crystal waters of the stream will pro-
duce an effect almost bewildering in its
beauty.
Already many organizations through-
out the county are making preparations
to attend one or both ofthe days and if
you have not made up your mind to
visit Bellefonte on this occasion you
will certainly never have another op-
portunity of this kind.
Thursday will be the firemen’s day,
the program of which has already been
published, while Friday will be the
Centennial anniversary proper. Among
the greatest attractions that are in prep-
aration for the latter will ba the
museum of relics that is being arranged
for purposes of exhibit. Any old thing,
that has a bit of history, is just what is
wanted by the committee in charge.
The success of the demonstration, of
course, depends entirely upon our pec-
ple. Sabscribe literally and work en-
thusiastically to make it a fitting one
for Bellefonte.
He WiLL StAYy.—It is with genuine
pleasure that we announce that Secre-
tary F. H. Cota has reconsidered his
resignation and will remain in charge of
the Young Men’s Christian Association
here.
It was a matter of deepest concern to
those interested in the Association, for
the work of the secretary had been of
such an order that his loss would have
meant the practical closing of the build-
ing. Mr. Cota having been such a
zealous laborer for success there has
been a tendency to let the entire work
fall on his shoulders, this led him into
the ungrounded belief that his course is
not endorsed by the public, hence the
resignation.
If a true expression of the esteem in
which Mr. Cota is held were had we
ratber think the delusion under which
he has been laboring would be quickly
dispelled. For we are not willing to be-
lieve tbat there is a persen in Bellefonte
so narrow minded as not to recognize
the great, unselfish, earnest work he has
done for our young men and boys.
A visit to the Asscciation rcoms ab
any time will give an excellent idea of
are glad that the directors rose to a
realization of what the possible loss of
Mr. Cota would mean to Bellefonte :
The following resolution was unanimously
passed by the Y. M. C. A. board of directors at
their meeting on Monday evening :
“The resignation of cur general secretary
having been presented to the board by the
president in accordance with the request of
the secretary said resignation to take effect
June 1st, it was unanimously resolved by the
board that in view of the exceptionally ac-
ceptable services rendered by Mr. Cota to the
Association and to the community, in view of
the attachment of our young men and mem-*
bers of the junior branch to him personally
and in view of this appreciation of his work in
the Association and in view also of the general
expression of opinion in the community by
the friends of the Association, by the mothers
of the boys of the town and by many persons
having no connection with the Association in
any way it is deemed inexpedient to accept
Mr. Cota’s resignation, believing as the mem-
bers of the board do, that it was offered under
a misapprehension of the facts and that Mr,
Cota be respectfully requested to withdraw
the same, the board hereby pledging them:
selves to hearty co-operation with him in ac’
complishing the resuits which he feels have
not yet been attained.

such a gathering will be held at Hecla.
Prominent speakers and christian
workers will be there to address the

ANOTHER HONORED CHURCHMAN.--
The A. M. E. church does not vainly
congratulate itself upon the distinction
she enjoys as a favored representative
of our race variety throughout the
world. No power or party seems more
disposed to appreciate this fact than
our own great national government.
As a connection, gratetu! reference may
be made to the Recordership of Deeds at
Washington ; the Consulate at Santos.
Brazil ; the Fort Missoula, U. S. Chap-
lainey ; the ministry and Coasulats to
Liberia, and now the Chaplaincy of the
celebrated Ninth Cavalry, U. S. troops
The lucky recipient of this latest gov.
ernment post of honor and emolument
is a young, vigorous and brilliant repre-
sentative of the church and race in the
person of the Rev. Geo. W. Priolean,
professor ut Payne Theological Semi-
nney, Wilberforce, Ohio. Aside from
the sectarian and personal interest we
feel in the appointee, it is our convie
tion that the president, in the selection
of Prof. Priolean as U. 8. A. Chaplain,
has made no wistake, but that the race
is most creditably represented in him. *

A Busy NieNt I1N¥ CoUunciL.—On
between its meetings and began wading |
through the various business that had |
piled up during the interim.
The committees all reported the con-
dition of their work as follows :
stone ; several sewers repaired ; tem-
porary foot bridge built across Spring
| creek at Lamb street and then presented
an ordinance for the opening and grad-
ing of Potter street, the ordinance being
| passed later. This will give the people
lin the vicinity of the new Jenkins &
Lingle machine shops u boardwalk
from south Thomas street. The request
£f Dr. M. A Kirk for a gradeon
. Thomas street was referred to this com-
| mittee as also his request to be allowed
to lay a terra cotta sewer pipe south,
from his property, to the creek, the same
to be laid by the residents along the
street. Mr. Bradley’s complaint that the
sidewalk along S. S. Lyon's property is
in a dangerous condition was referred to
i the Street committee also. Then Burgess
Gray was instructed to act with the
Street committee in disposing of the
ceived for street vending privileges dur-
ing the Centennial.
The Kinance committee reported 2a
balance of $10,273.94 due the treasurer:
The water committee reported various
improvements and recommended that
street sprinkling be allowed only be-
tween the hours of 5a. m.and 7 p. m.
. The C. R. R. of Pa. presented the bor-
ough with & car load of crushed lime-
stone for use about the “Big Spring.”
Said company then succeeded in having
its water tax reduced from $150 to $75
per annum.
The Nuisance committee was in-
structed to abate nuisances occasioned by
an offensive chicken coop out near the
car shops and a bad water pipe at the
rear of the McLain block, on High
street. At the request of the Board of
Health it was instructed also to look
into tne sanitary condition of the sewer-
age about the ‘Big Spring.”
Under the head of miscellaneous
pay, for work done for R. McCafferty &
Sons, on the Lamb street bridge abut-
ments, was refused, as was alse a re-
quest by that firm for an advance of
$125 pay cn the work already done.
On motion of General Beaver they were
told that pay will be forthcoming, but
only in accordance with the contract.
Rev. J. P. Hughes complained that the
cow ordinance is not enforced and that
the bovine nuisance at the Academy is
almost unendurable. He was instruct-
ed to pen them up and sell them if
damages could be collected in no other
way.
After approving bills to the amount
of $851.72 council adjourned.
SToTT—RANKIN—The marriage of
Miss Annie Stott to Mr. Edward B.
Rankin was solemnized at the home of
the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
James Stott, corner of Bishop and
Spring streets, last Thursday evening,
Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian
church officiating.
The house was artistically decorated
and the friends of the young people
who were present were charmed with
the beauty of the ceremony.
The groom is the youngest son of the
late James H. Rankin Esq., of this
place, and has been manager of the
Western Union telegraph office here for
nearly ten years. His bride isa young
woman of whose love any man might
be proud and she will make him an ex-
cellent help meet throuuh life.
After an elaborate wedding supper
the bride and groom departed for a tour
east.
The report is current that the greom
has lately been appointed to a position
in insurance commissioner Lamb ert’s
office in Harrisburg. It is not known
whether be wiil accept it.
SETTLED For $8,500.—Last week the
Pennsylvania railroad company com-
promised with Mrs. Lucretia Peters,
who brought suit here for injuries re-
ceived in an accident at Snow Shoe In.
tersection in 1893. She had sued for
$20,000, but concluded she would take
$8,500 for her injured ankle and not go
into court. The company agreeing to
pay costs and the doctor’s bill also.
The injury was caused by a train on
the Snow Shoe branch sliding into the
last coach on the valley mail west.
The mail train had stopped to take wa-
ter, the rear coach extending down be-
low the intersection of the track to
Snow Shoe. A train coming in from
that place was unable to stop, owing to
the steep grade and slippy rails, and
slid into the rear end of the passenger
train, shaking up the passengers.
—-Philipsburg is wrought up over
the cow ordinance council passed some
time ago. Some people don’t want it
enforced while others are sure it is the
best thing for the town. At all events
a man can't be secured who will faith-
fully perform the duties of high consta-
ble over there.

A BELLEFONTE INVENTOR. — The
following, which is taken from the
Philadelphia Inguirer, tells of a novel
invention of a young gentleman of this
place.
‘Assistant United States Treasurer
Bigler bad submitted to him yesterday
by Wm. Burnside, a Bellefonter, a
novel mechanical device which will in-
dicate the removal of the smallest
amount of coin from the treasury vaults
and he is considering the propriety of
recommending its adoption by the treas-
ury Department.
The coin in the sub-treasuries is
stored in bing, each containing a certain
number of bags of money, a few of
which might readily be abstracted with-
out detection before the entire lot could
be counted. The new device consists of
an arrangement of scales at the bottom
of the bin, which will register accurate-
ly the weight of the contents of the en-
tire bin, and is so graduated that it will
indicate the removal of the smallest
amount of coin.
The qnantity of coin placed in and re-
moved from the bins each day will be
registered with exactness and electrical
attachments give immediate warning of
any attempt to tamper with the delicate
mechanism of the scales. Assistant
Treasurer Bigler says that thefts like
those carried on by ex-Weigher Coch-
ran in the Philadelphia Mint would be
impossible with such safeguards.”

CHANGE oF SCHEDULE ON CENTRAL
R. R. or PA.—On Monday next, May
13th, new schedules go into effect on
the Central of Penna, Beech Creek and
Reading lines. The trains will then
leave Bellefonte at 7:40 a. m. and 3:33
and 8:15 p. m. They will leave Mill
Hall, at 9:12 8. m. and 5:05 and 9:37 p.
m. The new schedule will give a good
through connection to and from Phila-
delphia in daytime ; in addition to the
excellent night service. The train
leaving Bellefonte at 7:40 a. m. arrives
in Williamsport at 10:10, in Philadel-
phia at 5, in New York at 6 and Atlan-

parties can leave New York at 4:30,
Atlantic City at 6:30 and Philadelphia

lor car service to and from Williams-
port to Philadelphia. This new im-
proved service, in connection with the
liberal excursion rates and mileage book
privileges offered by the Central, Beech
Creek and Reading lines, should make
this route more popular then ever to the
East and sea-board points. The new
schedule also enables parties from Clear-
field, Philipsburg, and Snow Shoe to
reach Bellefonte in the morning and re-
turn in the evening—whick was impos.
sible under former arrangements, the
new time tables can be had at all the
Central R. R. stations on Saturday of
this week.

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
earned.
