Hastings’ Fight for His Home County.
Notwithstanding the strenuous ef-
forts ot Governor Fon SE other
embers of his “Combine” to create an
impRegion throughout the State that
everythings serene in Centre county
they have all-tha-while been ordering
oe Sl “get down on’’
the wen who have been™quietly work-
ing up a Quay sentiment right on the
threshold of the Governor's home.
A: first the movement was pooh-
hooed, then it was sniffed at and now
it is being fought ae an earnest, aggres-
sive opposition to the man who thought
that all he would need do was to tell
Centre county Republicans that they
were to make him a State delegate at
the convention next Tuesday.
There is little use denying the fact
that much dissatisfaction exists here
over the way the administration has
been carried on. Not only on account
of certain local appointments that have
been made, but as well, because of cer-
tain obnoxious legislation. The Quak-
er element, for the most part conserva-
tive Republicans, are indignant over
the signing of the garb bill; the sol-
diers are incensed because the Governor
vetoed the measure giving them preced-
ence in appointments; the poorer
classes are dissatisfied with legislation
that has increased salaries and offices
and at the same time made them the
prey of coal oil monopolists ; and the
miners in the Philipsburg region are
protesting at the fate of the bill that
aimed to secure them safer and better
oil for their work in the mines.
These are only a few of the causes
that have tended to arouse Centre
county voters to a pitch where a very
little bit of effective work on the part
of, Mr. Quay, at the operiug of the fight,
would have absorbed the “Combiae’s”
entire attention right here in Centre
county and possible have ended the
contest before it had fairly begun.
As it is the “Combine” has had to
send AMES into Philipsburg, where he
revealed the fact that Hasting's sole
ambition is for the Presidency 10 1896,
and made more enemies than friends
for the Governor. It is reported that
Mr. Axes stated that the Governor
hopes to see such a fight between REED
and McKiNLEY as will afford an op-
portunity for the Pennsylvania dele. |
gation to force him on the National
Convention. In view of the fact that
this information came from a promi-
nent Philipsburg Republican it can be
accepted as reliable.
The opposition is headed by Ap
Dave Esq. of Bellefonte, and Vicror
Gray, of Philipsburg. Unfortunately
for their success, neither one of them
have had much experience in politics
—except what Mr. DALE was able to
pick up a few years ago when the Gov-
candidate tor Assembly. Many promi-
nent Republicans in Bellefonte and
throughout the county are not only
opposed to GILKESON but avowed ene-
mies of Governor HasriNGs and they
do not hesitate to say so. W. I. FrLex-
ING, who has lately received a $1,400
appointment in the State Departm ent,
is doing missionary work among them,
but with little success.
Though the Quay people began
their fight when it was too late to win
they have, nevertheless, made it pain-
fully evident to the Governor that the
course he has ursued since going to
Harrisburg has not been one ‘0 retain
the friends who did so much to send
him there.
——The Christian Endeavorers, at
their convention in Boston, enlarged
the scope of their discussions by con-
sideriag the question of good citizen-
ship. The daty of being a good citi-
zen is next in importance to being a
good christian, and yet how widely it
is neglected. This neglect is mani-
fested particularly in the manner in
which the citizen performs his political
duties. It is not contended that his
duty requires him to vote any partic-
ular party ticket, but if he does not ex-
ercise his right of suffrage carefully,
conacientiously and intelligently, he is
remiss. There has certainly been a
great deal of this kind of remissness in
this State, when its government has
been allowed to fall into the bands ot
such political pirates as are now rum-
ning it.

An Object Lesson.
The Trenton potteries furnish the
best object lesson on the tariff that has
yet been presented. The duties on
china, stoneware and all kinds of pot-
tery was always rather stiff, but the
McKiniey bill increased the protec-
tion by from 5 to 10 per cent. Four
months after the passage of that bill
the workmen at Trenton went on a
strike against a redaction of 22 per
cent in their wages. :
The WiLsoN tariff brought the duties
on china and stoneware down from an
average of 60 per cent to an average of
35 per cent. - Since that tarift went in-
to operation, less than a year since,
there have been two advances made in
the wages of the Trenton potters, the
last one taking place week before last,
ranging from 10 per cent. on certain
products to 40 per cent. on others. In
eanitary pottery ware the increase has
averaged more than 20 per cent.
Object lessons on this subject, how-
ever, are being furnished in every de-
partment of manufacturing industry.
——With a split in their party and
the industries booming in every quar-
ter, the Republicans ‘of Pennsylvania
will enter into the coming State cam-
paign amid great discouragement.
There will be an absence of the gayety
with which they sounded the calamity
howl, and reveled in the business dis-
trees that prevailed last year. The
business relief which the country en-
joys ie a serious matter to the Repub-
lican politicians.
A Mystery No Longer.
Bodies of the Pictzel Children Found in Toronto,
They Were Buried in a Cellar.— Evidently
Killed by Insurance Swindler Holmes, Who
Wanted to be Relieved of Their Care—He Will
Undoubtedly be Taken to Canada on a Murder
Charge.
Toronto, Ont., July 16.—Found
buried in the cellar of the house No.
16 St. Vincent street were the bodies
of Alice and Nellie, the two missing
daughters of Benjamin F. Pietzel. De-
tectives Cuddy, of Toronto, and Geyer,
ot Philadelphia, made the discovery,
and all the doubts as to their fate have
been set at rest. It is now a matter
almost beyond doubt that H. H.
Holmes, when here last October, de-
liberately murdered the pair and thus
rid himself of two troublesome young
beings after he had murdered their
father in Philadelphia.
The 1nquiries begun by the police
led to the knowledge that Holmes and
the children lived at the house in ques-
tion, and search was made by the two
officers. A photograph of Holmes was
shown to Frank N. Nudel, of the edu-
cational department, owner of No. 16,
and without any hesitation he identi-
fied it as that of his tenant. When
they reached the cellar it appeared to
the detectives that something had, dis-
turbed the cellar floor. A short dis-
tance below ‘the surface they came
across the arm and a portion of the
head of one of thelittle murdered girls.
Further work soon revealed the entire
body, not only of the first, but of “her
sister. Both bodies were naked and
uncoffined and had lain there in all
probability since last October.
There were no traces of violence on
the bodies, and it is thought that
Holmes decoyed the children into a
trunk under some pretext and took
them to the house. Then gas was in-
serted by means of a tube through a
small hole. The trunk, with a hole in
it, neatly covered over with a strap
tacked down was found in one of
Holmes’ rooms.
No trace of the boy Howard, a lad
of 8, had been found, but he is thought
to be undoubtedly dead.
As the crime was evidently commit-
ted in this country it will be necessary
to extradite Holmes and put him on
trial for murder here.
The last trace the officers had of the
children was at Detroit. They were
taken there from Chicago, where they
had been attending school. They
boarded on Congrees street, west, one
week in 1894, Holmes secured posses
sion of Alice, aged 13, first taking her
to Philadelphia to identify her father’s
body. Then he went to St. Louis, and
told the mother that he would put
Howard and Nellie in a good school in
Indianapolis. This was on September
28, 1804. Mrs. Pitezel received two
letters from Holmee in Indianapolis,
and acting on his advice she went to
her parents’ home in Illinois. Becom-
ing. worried about the children, she
went to Chicago, where she received
word from Holmes to go back to De-
troit. She met him in that city and
demanded the children, but was in-
duced to go with him to Toronto, and
then to Burlington, Vt.
Holmes is the blackest villian the
police of the United States have had
their hands on for some time. He
swindled the Fidelity Mutual Life As-
sociation of Philadelphia out of $10,000
and that led to an investigation which
has revealed that B. F. Pietzel his
three children, and the two Williams
girls of Texas were allmurdered by
the swindler,

Hazevron, Pa., July 16.—An im-
mense stripping operation will be be-
gun at the Hazelton mine colliery by
the Lehigh valley coal company in the
near future. A contract has been |
given out to strip nearly 3,000,000
cubic yards of earth at thia time. Two |
steam shovels will be put to work and |
several hundred men given employ- i
ment for a number of years. A new!
stripping will also be opened at the No. |

for several hundred more hands. ;
East Liverpoor, O., July 16.—The |
Knowles company’s big potteries, the |
largest in the United States, and the |
works of Cartwright Brothers, Burford |
Brothers, Wallace & Chelwynd, the
Seabring pottery company, the East
Liverpool and the Standard pottery
company all resumed operations this |
morning. Three fourths of the pot-
teries in the city are in full operation
and others are ranning part time. y
This sudden boom in the pottery
trade is brought about by the recent
cut of the American manufacturers in
the selling prices, which are now down
to the importers’ prices in English
ware. The manufacturers say they
expect a steady ran from now until
December. ]
HoLripaysBura, July 16.—The pud-

New Casri, Mich., July 16.—The
Cleveland Cliffs iron mining company
bas raised tlie wages of all its em-
ployes from 10.to 25 cents per day, ac-

because warranted by the improved
condition of the ore market. .

SoMg Facts ABour Cusa.—In a
communication published in the Phil-
ipsburg Journal of the 12th inst. Hon.
J. N. Casanova, of that place, makes the
following comparative statement of the
races making up the population ofthe
island of Cuba, to retain which Spain is
making such a strenuous effort.
these there are 197,000 white with a
death rate ot 24.87 per 1,000; 43,000
colored with a death rate of 39.55 per
1,000; 10,000 Chinamen with a‘ death
rate of 38.10 per 1,000. =
Of the white population there are Span-
iards from Spain 63,000, with a death
rate of 28.80 per 1,000 ; other foreigners
4,000 with a death rate of 33.50 per
1.000; native Cubans 130,000 with a
death rate of 22.71 per 1,000; native
Cubans under 5 years 45,500 with a
death rate of 31.64 per 1,000; native
Cubans over 5 years 84,500 with a death
rate of 17.78 per 1,000.”
It would seem from this summary
that our colored population would not
be so largely increased, after all, in the
event of Cuban annexation to the Unit-
ed States and that the whites are very
largely predominant on the island.
Ir You Have Noruixa ELst To Do
Reap ABour THE WEATHER.—Mr.
Foster, the old stand-by prognosticator.
says :
“My last bulietin gave forecasts of
the storm wave to cross the continent
from the 18th to the 23rd, and tha next
will reach the Pacific coast about the
23d, cross the west of Rockies country
by the close of the 24th, the great cen-
tral valleys the 25th to 27th, the eastern
States on the 28th.
During and immediately preceding
this disturbance will occur the hottest
period of the month, accompanied by in-
dications of drought. The drought in
Florida and the southeastern states will
increase, and northwest of St. Louis, in
the direction of Manitoba, moisture will
be deficient.
A warm wave will cross the west of
Rockies country about the 23d, the great
central valleys the 25th and eastern
States the 27th. Cool waves will cross
the west of Rockies country about the
26th, great central valleys 28th and east-
ern States 30th. This cool wave will
probably cause light frosts along the
northern borders of the United Sta tes,
keeping up the record as a most remark-
able crop season.
July and August rains will probably
put rollin, ‘ands in good condition for
plowing, preparatory for sowing winter
wheat, but soils that hold water longer
than the average will probably be too
wet.
In the great central valleys heavy
rains will fall in September and the
plowing should be completed as early as
poesible, not only for the reason men-
tioned above, but-also because of the
severe winter to follow.
In thenorthern portion of the winter
wheat belt sowing should be completed
early in September, in'the south a month
later, and the plowing should be com-
pleted long enough before to give the
soil time for becoming packed, so that
the wheat plants may have a solid bed
instead of a loose ash bank in which to
germinate.
Fhe roller should be thoroughly used.
For the coming hard winter the plant
might be better prepared by a second
rolling after the wheat has covered the
ground with its green. In many places
rains will have washed the soil from the
roots and left an uneven surface, inviting
the work of the winds and for this the
A DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP. —
Quite an excitement was stirred up in
%this place last Saturday when it became
known that Howard Felienbaum had
disposed of his green grocery stand, on
the southeast corner of the Diamond, to
Fred Sourbeck. The sale developed the
fact that Lewis Fabian, a clerk in Lew-
in’s clothing store, was a silent partner
in the business with Fellenbaum and
though he had furnished most of the
money to start it with he had nothing
to show any claim to the property. As
soon as he heard of the sale the silent
partner became very talkative and re-
tained most of the lawyers he could find.
but meanwhile Fellenbaum had pocket-
ed the purchase money and skipped with
the delivery horse and wagon.
He was pursued by constables armed
with warrants, but was not caught until
chief Keller, of Lock Haven, arrested
him at a farm house near Mill Hall. He
was taken to the former place and given
a hearing Monday afternoon, but mean-
while the authorities from. here appeared
and claimed him as a prey for ‘Squire
Keichline’s court. At 2 o’cléck Tues-
day afternoon that functionary heard
the case and according to his custom pil-
ed $500 bail on the boy #nd bound him
over for court.
The evident slippery character that
had manifested itself in the action of
Saturday made it hard for the boy. to
get bail and it was late Tuesday eve-
ning before an arrangement was made
that allowed him to escape going to
jail. ”
The case was practically seitled by
the attorneys employed by giving Mr.
Fabian the horse and wagon and the
receipts from the stand, but some com-
plication arose next morning that put
it back in its original phase. Nothing
has been seen of young Fellenbaum
since then, though he and his father
both entered in their own recognizance
for appearance at court after Mr. Fa-
bian had heen satisfied.
Such an abuse of trust has rarely been
known in Bellefonte and whén Howard
Fellenbaum finds another friend willing
to do as much for him as Mr. Fabian
did he wiil have become a far better
boy.
A WoMAN PEDDLER Too GAME FOR
MivLesBURG'S Hie CoONSTABLE.—The
staid old town of Milesburg was in an
uproar Tuesday night all on account of
a wandering female,who wanted to camp
all night on one of the main streets of
‘the town. Nowit wasn’t very compli-
mentary to Irv. Morris’ bailiwick io
have a woman peddler pick out the fin-
est street in it as being a quiet place in
which there was little danger of her be-
ing disturbed during the long hours of
the might.
High Constable Ed Bloom resented
such an insult and started to drive the
old woman awsy, but when he ap-
proached her she mistook the object of
his visit. Thinking he bad come to
camp with her she set upon him, and
truly, beat him good. The high digni-
tary was knocked down in the street,but
fortunately the high grass saved his
clothes from being soiled. From the
way the solitary camper set about doing
him up she might have been punching
Bloom yet had Lew Bullock and several
others not gone to his rescue.
5 When they arrived on the scene Joe
Sellers had enlisted in the woman’s ser-
vice and insisted on putting her horse in
his stable and taking her into his own
house for the night. Now Mrs. Sellers
did’nt quite fancy the idea of having
her spouse fighting other women’s bat-
tles, so she hunted herself a club with
which she promised to dispatch both
Joseph and his erst-while friend, if they
did not break away. This so riled Jos-
eph—who is eaid to have had a right
comfortable skate on—that he picked up
a stone which he intended should
knock the fact “of his - being
“boss of that place” ‘into his
good wife's head. Many villagers,
beaded by Lew Bullock, arrived at this
juncture. - The marshall of their forces
told Joe not to strike his wife, where-
upon the stone suddenly sped away
riage manufacturer. A fight ensued in
which the female peddler’s forces were
completely routed. Her army was roll-
‘ed around in the dirt in a most ignomin-
ious fashion, e but it staggered to its
feet in alittle while and made a dash
for the house ; emerging a moment
later with a big shot gun. This struck
consternation to every heart and the
populace fled up the street as if pursued
by a mad dog. Oh, what a scramble
there was. Councilmen tumbled over
little boys, women ran and shrieked in
terror, and pandemonium reigned su-
preme, as the peddler’sarmy charged up
the street. ;
At last account’s Joe Sellers was still
monarch of all he surveyed. He had
driven his family to the poor house for
shelter. The next morning the old wo-
