paper on which he could write a receipt,
but while she was in another part of the
house the supposed burgess skipped out
and later she found out that her money
had been paid to the wrong man.
THE JUNIOR ORATORICAL CONTEST.
—Garman’s opera house was filled from
the orchestra circle to the last row in the
gallery on Friday night, when the ora-
tors of the Junior class of the Bellefonte
High school were to contest for the
Reynolds prize. The stage was artis-
tically set and draped in red and white,
the class colors.
Eight young ladies and gentlemen,
together with Mr. Ammerman, the
principal of the High school, and Rev.
J. W. Rue occupied seats on the stage
and while the orchestra played its first
selection the interest manifested on the
many faces in the auditorium found ex-
pression in conversation and friendly
wagers as to which one of the contes-
tants would be successful.
After the invocation James G.
Wright was introduced. His subject:
“Touissaint L’Overture,” was a good
one, very cleverly handled. Blanche
Underwood followed him; ‘A second
Trial” being the subject for her pleasing
recitation, which proved to have been
the prize winner. The next declaimer
was Willis A. Ishler, the eldest son of
ex-sheriff Ishler. Hetold of the ‘Lights
and Shadows of Scottish Life,” in a way
that left a very favorable impression
with the audience.
Music again afforded an opportunity
for the friends of tke youthful orators to
compare notes and, as warm friendship
invariably blinds all failings in those
whom we admire, there were just three
divisions ot people in that audience who
were convinced, by that time, that their
favorites were sure of the prize. The
next declaimer was Willis Knox, a
manly looking boy, who seemed almost
as much at home on the rostrum as if
he had been an elocutionist. “Silent
Influences” were worked up so nicely by
the young man that when he reached
his climax in an epic to mother a vote
of the audience would surely have given
him the prize forthwith. But following
him came Myrtle Longacre, who did
very well with ‘Little Will,” though
her selection was a trifle too pathetic for
such an occasion. Then Freida Baum
recited ‘‘a Brave Boy” in a way that
raised the hopes of her friends. Mabel
Fauble followed her and in an easy,
graceful manner recited ‘Better than
Diamonds.” When she had finished it
was clear that her work had left a very
favorable impression and added more
to the trials in store for the judges:
The last selection was, “The Whistling
Regiment,” by Bessie Orris, a pretty lit-
tle lady whose performance was very
creditable.
The judges, W. I. Fleming, E. R.
Chambers Esq., and Rev. B. C. Shaw,
retired then and the orchestra played
until they had come to the determina-
tion that Blanche Underwood had come
nearest to perfection in the various di-
visions into which the work had been
reduced.
As a whole the contest wasa very
creditable one and the large audience
told of the interest taken in it by the
townspeopie. The good done by such
measuring of oratorical powers is ines-
timable. No one can realize how valu-
able an acquisition, to a young man or
young woman, itis to be able to say
what they might wish to say in a clear,
forcible way, without that stammering
embarrassment which too often is found
to have been the Shibboleth of many
who would otherwise have been illus-
trious.
CouxciL Iv SessioN.—Oa Monday
evening council met, and transacted the
business that had accrued during the
two week’s lapse between its regular
meetings.
Council accepted an invitation to
participate in a body in the Centenial
celebration on June 7th.
The Street committee reported consid
erable work done in various parts of
town as well as the usual cleaning up.
In response to a petition endorsed by
this committes council gave it discre-
tionary power to act in the question of
allowing booths on the streets and alleys
of Bellefonte for the sale of produce,
fruits, etc. The petition was a protest
against granting such privileges.
The Nuisance committee reported
that the nuisance supposed to be main-
tained near the poor house was an an-
noyance to none and that its members
had been able to find nothing wrong
with the sanitary condition of the “Big
Spring,” which bad been reported pol-
lated by adjacent cess pools and drains.
The Water committee reported its
department in good condition, that a
new motor had been putin at Sour-
beck’s, on High street, and that the
flowers around the “Big Spring’’ had
recently frozen. The request of Jenkins
& Lingle and Wm. B. Maitland for
water at their works at the old car shops
was referred to this committee for
action.
R. McCafferty & Son appeared to ask
for an extension of time for the comple-
tion of the Lamb street bridge. They
got it and council ordered them paid
$126.14 for work completed, to that
date. An ordinance was then presented |
|
and adopted, which authorizes the paving i
of the Diamond in this place with com- |
posite pavement, the borough to bear |
one-third and the adjoining property |
holders two-thirds of the cost. The
same to be done under an act ot 1889.
After authorizing the payment of
bills to the amount of $302.89 council
adjourned.
———Warriorsmark farmers are re. |
planting their corn.
——The American express company
has opened an office at Mackeyville.
——The Philipsburg village im-
provement society is actively engaged
in cleaning up that town.

Philipsburg opera house and will man-
ageit during the season of ’95-'96.

and eighty-eight inmates in the Hunt-
ingdon reformatory when the roll was
called Saturday night.
——The case of Governor Hastings
vs. F. J. O'Connor, of Johnstown, for
libel, will come up at Ebensburg, on

ganization of that town, accompany the
Clearfield fire company to this place
during the ficemen’s convention.
——An isolated ward is to be built
for the Cottage hospital at Philipsburg.
That institution stands a good chance of
receiving an appropriation of $15,000
for maintenance now since W. P.
Duncan Esq. has been to Harrisburg
to protest against a proposed allowance
of only $5,000.
——Miss Mary Fleck, daughter of
Mrs. Elizabeth Fleck, formerly of Phil-
ipsburg, was married to William Rap-
sher, a son of Senator Rapsher, of Mauch
Chunk, on the 14th inst. She will be
remembered as a pleasant visitor at the
home of Hon. James Schofield, in this
place, and is his sister-in-law.
——A little girl wrote the following
composition on ‘Saw Mills:” “Saw
mills is very useful. If it was not for
saw mills we wouldn’t have no sawdust
to stuff our dolls. If I was adoll I
would rather die than to be stuffed with
straw. Straw is very ticklesome when
you ain’t got anything else on your in-
side. Iknow a good deal more about
saw mills, but my paper is all gone.”
——Two Falls Creek wretches decoy-
ed a Keating, Clinton county, woman
into & lonely road near that place last
Friday evening under the guise of giv-
ing her employment as a cook in a lum-
ber camp. They robbed her of all the
money she possessed and attempted out-
rage, but her cries brought help and the
brutes fled. Later information is to the
effect that the woman’s name is Mrs:
Birge and her assailant, was George
Hart, of DuBois. He has been arrested
and has confessed.
For BELLEFONTE MorHERs.—The
dance which the firemen in this place
will hold during the Centennial will be
wholly for the entertainment of their
visitors, many of whom will be entire
strangers. It is very necessary that
mothers see to it that their young
daughters, those under sixteen years of
age, are not allowed to attend these
dances. The same air of security will
certainly not surround them that does
at the dances when none but home
firemen are in attendance, all of whom
are well known.
IN A Oritican CoxbirioN.—We re-
gret to learn that the illness with which
Mr. Henry Noll, of Pleasant Gap, has
been suffering for the past two months,
bas developed so rapidly that his life is
now dispaired of. James, who is in col-
lector Herring’s office at Scranton, and
Dr. Samuel, a recent graduate of the
Medico-Chirurgical college in Phila-
delphia, were both telegraphed for and
arrived here Wednesday to be at the
bed side of their father.
ATTENTION WHEELMEN. -- The
Bellefonte wheelmen’s club have
arranged to hold a lantern parade
on Wednesday evening, June 5th,
1895. All cyclers are cordially in-
vited to join with the club to make this
parade one of the most attractive dis-
plays of the coming Centennial celebra-
tion. Colored lanterns will be used for
decorations, and the parade will start at
8:30 p. m. sharp.
The Bellefonte wheelmen have ac-
cepted the invitation of the Centennial
committee to take part in the grand in-
dustrial parade, on Friday morning,
June 7th, 1895, and will be glad to
have all the wheelmen of the town and
county help them make the cyclists’ por-
tion of the parade a great success. The
rooms of the club in the Centre county
bank building, corner of High and
Spring streets, will be open to all visit-
ing wheelmen during the centennial.
For further particulars in regard to
arrangements for the parades, address
George L. Williams, captain.
THEY SLEPT WHILE THEIR House
Was RoBBED.—A week ago, if you
had told Archie Allison the junior
partner in the Logan machine works
company, of this place, that it would be
possible for burglars to enter his house
and go within a few feet of the bed in
which he slept, without his hearing
them, he would have laughed at you.
He wouldn’t do it to-day, however, for
that is exactly what someone did early
Monday morning.
Mr. Allison occupies a pretty little
home on North Allegheny street. He
was sleepier than usual, so he Says,
when he retired about midnight Sun.
day. His wite and infant daughter,
Mrs. Humes and a maid are also oecu-
pants of the house and the whole house-
hold was pearly frightened to death
when they awoke in the morning to find
how nearly they had all been carried
off.
Some time between the hours of 12 m
and 4 in the morning burglars effected
an entrance through a kitchen window,
After propping all the doors open, in
order to make a hasty exit if necessary,
the dining room was visited. Nothing
was found suitable to their cupidity
there, so Archie’s bed-room was visited
next and there, while the lord of the
house slept sweetly, his trousers and
underclothing were secured from a chair
at his bed-side. The burglar then went
back to the kitchen where he was con-
siderate enough to leave the keys that
were in the trousers’ pocket and the un-
derclothes, taking the trousers, a pen
knife and between $12 and $13 along.
In a coat, that hung on the back of
the chair from which the trousers were
taken, was a wallet containing $45 of
which Archie is still the happy pos-
8essOr.
A rather lucky incident of the rob-
bery is that by which $30 was
saved to Mrs, Allison, his mother. On
Saturday he drove over to Spring Mills
for her and just as he was leaving his
brother’s home, the latter handed Mrs.
Allison $30. She did not have a purse
with her and asked Archie to carry it
for her, He took the roll of money,
placing it in the watch pocket of his
trousers. Never thinking of it again,
until the robbery made it necessary to
take an inventory of his possessions, he
found that when he had retired Sun.
day night he had not changed his moth-
er’smoney from his Sunday clothes to
the pockets of the ones he intended
wearing Monday, so it was safe in the
ward-robe and he had something more
to congratulate himselt over.
THE MYSTERY DEEPENS.—Many
rumors have been afloat since the
WaArcHMAN published an account of
the finding of the body of an unknown
man in a swamp near Fowler station
last week. Everyone seems to have a
different opinion as to who it might
have been, the most ridiculous of all
these theories being the one that the re-
mains were those of “Billy” Wilson, the
man who murdered Harry Waterhouse
here on circus day four years ago and
escaped from jail later.
Since "Squire Osman’s inquest on the |
body the residents of the vicinity have
begun to remember that early last spring
& strange man appeared about there.
If their memory runs aot to the con
trary he looked very much like the body
found at Fowler the other day. The
story they attach to him is about this:
A strange man appeared in that vi-
cinity early last spring, apparently hav-
ing gotten off a valley train. He carried
& satchel and said that he came in
from the west to look up some land he
wanted to buy and find relatives named
Gingery and Ardery. Wandering about
in the vicinity he came to the house of
a man named Nearhoff, to whom he told
his story and who took him out and
started him straight on his road again.
As the two men walked along together
the stranger told his guide that his name
was Garner and that his car fare had
been paid to Tyrone. After getting
him on his way right Nearhoff left him
and returned home. This was the last
seen of the strange man, though shortly
afterwards a covered wagon was noticed
going along the road in the direction he
was traveling. It also turned into the
woods at a point near where the body
was found and returned soon atter wards.
Whose wagon it was, or who the occu-
pants were, or what they were doing
there, nobody knows.
At the inquest a hole was found in
the skull, near the temple, but the jury
were unable to decide whether it was a
bullet hole or not. The left arm was
broken too, but this might have been
done since the body has been lying
in the marsh. District Attorney Singer
went up yesterday morning to investi-
gate the case, but had nothing to say
for publication.
A BrAVE LiTTLE PATIENT.—Mer-
chant W. T. Meyer, of this place, is in
Philadelphia where his nine year old
daughter, Maud, isa patient in the
Howard hospital. A recent attack of
the grip resulted in enlargement of the
lymphatic glands of the neck for which
she has undergone several operations.
Dr. Martin has removed forty-seven en-
larged glands, some of them as large as
an egg.
——~Centennial medals are already
displayed in many Bellefonte stores.
STRAWBERRIES AND ICE CREAM To-
NIGHT. — The Igdies of the Reformed
church intend holding a strawberry
festival in the Y. M. C. A. rooms this
evening. Everything that is delicious
will be served and all are invited to
attend.
Tue Icy MAY oF ’84.—A corre.
spondent of the New York Maii and
Express writes: This spring is al
most a duplicate of the spring of 1834,
except that we have had heavy frosts
instead of snow and light frost. Ice
formed as thick in May of that year as
window glass. On May 14 I hired out
to work on a farm, two miles from
Courtlandt. The spring had been very
similar to this, Fruit trees were in
, blossom the day I commenced working,
but it began to grow cold, and continu-
ed to do so for three days.
Finally it grew so cold that Mr, How,
for whom I worked, had to wear an
overcoat and mittens while ploughing.
On the 17th it commenced snowing very
fast, and the flakes were soon eight to
ten inches deep. On the 18th and 19th
it was very cold. Potatoes that were
covered up with straw in the barn were
frozen. On the 19th and 20th we drew
wood on a sled.
The sleighing at that time was good.
Nearly all the leaves dropped off the
trees in the forest.
WANTED—A Lyon & Co's store,
Bellefonte, 50,000 lbs. wool.
A SpECIAL MEETING OF COUNCIL.——
Necessitated by the Lamb street bridge
trouble council met in special session,
Wednesday night, to consider what
could be done to get out of the dilemma
into which the failure of R. McCafferty
& Son, to complete their work on the
abutments, has plunged tham.
The contractors were originally bound
up to have the work done by May 1st
and, having failed in this, they were
granted an extension which has availed
nothing. Owing to the low price at
which they took the work good masons
feared to enter their employment and
on Wednesday the constable seized the
effects of the firm on a judgment issued
by John Keichline. This was only one
of several entered against the contrac-
tors, who to protect themselves had con_
fessed judgment to T. McCafferty in the
sum of $50.
While council was investigating these
matters the county engineer appeared
to state that the work done thus far was
not according to specifications, since on
the upper side of the abutment the
Stones were not laid so that their joints
would bind.
Council instructed the Street commit.
tee to prccure some one to finish the
work and it is altogether probable that
Jas McCafferty will be given the job.
The employes of R. McCafferty & Son
will all be paid.
