CourTr PROCEEDINGS—CONTINUED.
‘When the WATCHMAN went to press
last week the case of Boyd Stonerode, of
Milesburg, charged with forgery and
false pretense, was on trial. Though
the evidence against him seemed most
conclusive he was able to prove an
alibi and in this way secured a verdict
of not guilty. We do not wish to enter
into a discussion of this case, but there
was certainly perjury committed during
its trial. Men who have known Stone-
rode for years swore positively that they
saw him on the way both to and from
Centre Hall, while his mother and sis-
ter swore that he was home for dinner
on the same day, so that he could not
have been near Centre Hall. There
were several discrepancies in the testi-
mony of the women that seemed tohave
been lost sight of by the jury. At all
events Stonerode is cleared, but his trial
has left some one to answer the crime of
perjury. The costs in the case, some
$95, were equally divided.
Joseph Iddings, charged with assault |
and battery by Sarah J. Eckley, was
sentenced to pay a fine of $20 and «costs,
In the case of J. Wesley Decker, con-
victed of cruelty to his wife, he was sen-
tenced to pay $20 fine and costs.
“Prof” Clarence Davis was sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary at solita-
ry confinement and a fine of $1.
George Goodman, who pleaded guilty
to an attempted rape on 12 year old
Minnie Calderwood, of Fairbrook, was
sent to the Huntingdon Reformatory.
This concluded the business for the
week. The following cases were either
settled or thrown out before going to the
jury:
James Wagner, of Milesburg ; com-
mon nuisance. Indictment quashed.
Tony Wood, larceny ; prosecutor, H.
C. Limbert. Bill ignored.
Wm. H. Smith, Ferguson Twp. ; lar-
ceny ; prosecutor, Wm, Eckle. Bill
ignored and prosecutor to pay cost.
Foster Housel, Spring Twp., assault
and battery ; prosecutor, Wm. Halder-
man. Settled.
Wm. Halderman, assault and battery;
prosecutor, George Housel. Settled.
Wm. R. Ettlinger, of Haines Twp. ;
assault and battery. Prosecutor, Benj.
Benner. Continued to next term.
Wm. Baney, adultery; prosecutor,
Joshua Folk. Bill ignored and county
pay costs.
John Vallance, Bellefonte ; false pre.
tense. Bill ignored and prosecutor,
Herman Martz, pay the costs.
Samuel Bruss, Potter Twp. ; assault
and battery. Prosecutor, Triah Oss-
man. Settled.
Howard Fellenbaum, Bellefonte ; lar-
ceny. Prosecutor, Louis Fabian. Bill
ignored, county pay costs.
Overseers of Spring Twp. ; neglect of
duty. Prosecutor, M. Dougherty, of
Axeman. Bill ignored.
REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
To the Hon. Judges of the Court of Quarter
Sessions in and for Centre County. :—The grand
inquest for August term submit the following:
They have acted upon thirty-seven bills of
indictment presented by the District Attor-
ney for our consideration, five of which were
ignored and the remaining thirty-two return-
ed true bills,
At the instance of the Court we examined
the public buildings. The jail and public of-
fices were found neat and clean, discovered
no want of proper attention on the part of of-
ficers.
Evidence of want of repairs, in order to pre-
serve the public property from further de-
struction was quite noticeable in several in-
stances, and we respectfully submit “the tol.
lowing recomm.endations : {
1st. Werecommend achange inthe plumb.
ing in the cell at the jail, so as to afford a bet.
ter water supply for cleanliness of prisoners
by supplying a basin for washing so as to
avoid the wetting and consequent rotting of
the floor as at present.
2d. We recommend a re-papering or wains-
coting of vestibule at main entrance to jail.
38d. We recommend repairs to the roof of
jail to prevent leaks which are injuring the
ceiling.
4th. The S. E. corner of the wall of main
building of the jail needs some attention as it
appears to be giving away.
5th. The stone wall surrounding jail yard is
not in good condition. The inside is rough
and uneven, by reason of some stone being
loose and the plastering impaired by the
weather. We would suggest that the inside
of wall be recovered by cement or some dura-
ble material and the top of wall or coping with
galvenized iron or other indestructable mate-
rial to prevent the action ofthe water on the
wall hereafter.
6th. The outside woodwork of the jail re-
quires painting.
7th. We recommend the removal of the un-
sightly wire fence enclosing jail park.
7th. The District Attorney's office needs
re-papering and floor repaired.
8th. The ceiling of the Arbitration room
needs papering or painting.
10th. And further: We see the necessity
of more room for Jurors. Also room for wit:
nesses attendant upon the Court other than
the main body of the Court room; and we
therefore recommend that such necessary re.
pairs and additions be added to Court House
as will better accommodate and facilitate the
transaction of the business cf the Court.
We desire to return our thanks to the Court
and the District Attorney for uniform courtesy
and assistance during our deliberations. 7
MINORITY REPORT OF GRAND JURY AUGUST 3, 1805.
“To the Honorable Judge of the Court of Quar-
ter Sessions in and for Centre County:—The
undersigned members of the Grand Jury
August 3,1895, respectfully represent that they
do not concur in the majority Report in its
recommendations to wit, namely: “And we
therefore recommend that such necessary re-
pairs and additions be added to the Court
House as will better ‘accommodate,” etc., ete.
For the following reason: 1st. The county
treaspgy is not in condition to warrant such
unlimited expenditure. jand 2nd, the taxpay-
ers of the county are already overburdened
with taxes and it would be inconsistent with
sound business principles to place upon them
additional burdens at-the present time.
Respectfully submitted,
Jas. F. WEAVER,

H. J. PLETCHER.
THE SECOND WEEK OF COURT.
There was a very small attendance
when court reconvened, on Monday.
The first case taken up was that of the
overseers of the poor of Rush township
vs Austin Lynn. The defendant had
been the former incumbent and when he
came to settle with the Auditors they
threw out bills for supplies he had fur-
nished himself and also one for the rent
of a property he owned. The services
of Dr. Moyer, while attending a poor
patient, were rejected as too high at
$2.00 per visit. A verdict of $237.29
was returned for the plaintiff and an
additional $86.50 subject to a question
of law.
The next case taken up was that of
Thos. Meyer, William L. Wilson and
George Wilson vs Robert and Levina
Downing. It occupied all the rest of
the week and was a case to test the title
of the Robert Downing farm in Half-
Moon township. The nature of the case
is very peculiar and was so mixed up
that it took the attention of the court
until three o'clock yesterday afternoon
when 1t was given to the jury and a
sealed verdict was returned after court
adjourned.
The case of Adriance, Platt & Co. vs
Keen to recover a self binding harves.
ter was next taken up. The jury on
this case was still out when court ad-
journed last evening.
H. E. Corman, of Rebersburg,
has gone to New York to complete his
education in phrenology.
——The St. Paul Sunday school, of
Feidler, will picnick in Winkleblech'’s
woods, on the 14th inst.
——E. M. Huyett, the Potters Mills
lumberman, operating on the Thomp-
son tract, will move his mill to the J.
D. Decker tract next spring.
——Wm. Workinger, a Potters Mills
man, got his hand badly used up in
Huyett’s saw mill recently. Dr. Alex-
ander had to amputate his index finger.
——The wedding of Miss Frances
Loretta Walch, of Lamar, and Mr.
Christopher Nolan, of Bellefonte, has
been announced for Wednesday the
18th inst.
—— While the Washburn show was
taking down tents, at Milton, Tuesday
night, a centre pole fell and injured =
canvassman so seriously that he died
within a half hour. ;
——Curwensville had a fire early
Sunday morning that destroved Way's
barber shop, the household effects of
Col. W. R. Hartshorn, and the office

——Ttis reported now that the credit-
ors of the bank of DuBois will get dol-
lar for dollar. Stock holders Long,

——Constable James McMullen, of
Milesburg, undertook to arrest John
Johnson in that place, last Thursday
night, without reading the warrant to
him. Johnson resisted and escaped af-
ter throwing the constable down three
times,
——The festival that was to have
been held at the Summit Hill church
on Saturday evening, has been post-
poned until the 14th inst. on account of
another festival in that vicinity. Re-
member this change as you won’t want
to miss the festival. It is going to be a
fine affair. :
——Mrs. Frank LaJoy, who is sep-
arated from her husband and lives at
the Ramsdale house, in Philipsburg,
took a dose of oil tansy, on Tuesday
night, and was still unconscious the fol-
lowing evening. What her intent in
taking it was or whether she will re-
cover is not known.
——Mailesburg’s council is to have a
new meeting house. The present struct-
ure being inadequate to the governmen-
tal needs of the town the Albert Owen
property has been secured by an ex-
change of the old council building and
$50 boot. It is proposed that the
new Milesburg hook and ladder com-
pany will occupy the first floor of the
building.
——Speaking of Mr. Chamberlain,
of Milton, who often visits his
daughter, Mrs. A. O. Furst, in this place,
and who although closely related to the
last century is not of it. for he is neither
old in looks, action or heart, a Milton
exchange says. ‘Moses Chamberlain
enjoys the distinction of being a brother
of a man who was killed in battle 118
years ago. Such a thing would seem
impossible at first thought, but it isa
fact. Mr. Chamberlain is 83 years old,
and was born 35 years after the battle
of Germantown, (1777) in which his
brother, aged 18, lost his life, The latter
was the oldest of 24 children, and Mr.
Chamberlain is the youngest.
A DasTARDLY TRICK.—On Tuesday
evening the home of Joseph Spangler,
a son-in-law of ex-county-treasurer
James J. Gramley, who lives on the
latter's farm, at Madisonburg, was
“torn out” from cellar to garret. Two
men, one wearing a dark shirt and a
dark hat, the other wearing = straw hat
and a white shirt were seen in that vi-
cinity the evening before by Mrs. Spang-
ler and a neighbor, but nothing was
thought of them till the next evening
when the trouble was made.
It was just after supper, while the
men were out in the field in front of the
house and Mrs. Spangler had gone out
to pick some elder berries, leaving her
! baby and children in charge of the girl,
| who was washing the dishes in an out
kitchen. The screams of the children
attracted the people in the fields and
they ran to the house to find that 1t had
been ransacked from cellar to garret.
Milk crocks were upset, beds torn down,
pictures pulled off the wall and mutila-
ted, meat und wool mixed up together
and, in general, everything was topsy-
turvey. The two men were seen run-
ning from the house but they escaped
through Peter Yearick’s corn field,
near-bye, thence to the woods.
A lot of the neighbors gathered in to
help Mrs. Spangler fix up again and
this being done they all met in the sum-
mer kitchen to talk over the dastardly
deed, when screams were again heard in
the house and everyone ran, but ’twas
too late again. The miscreants had
been there to do a second ‘‘tearing out.”
When Mr. Spangler heard the cries he
ran arcund the house to intercept the
men, but they escaped him and having
no firearms he was unable to bring them
down. This time they carried the baby
out of the house and dropped it about
12 rods away. It is believed that they
intended burning the house and carried
the child out so it would not perish.
After this second fiendish visitation
some men decided to remain all night
on watch. They staid there until
morning, but left about day break.
About 5 o’clock Mr. Spangler and his
hired man went to the barn to do the
work, Mrs. Spangler accompanying
them to milk. While away a front
window was smashed in and for a third
time the house was turned upside
down.
Just what motive these men have in
such despicable work is not known, for
Mr. Spangler and his family are well
thought of in that community and no
enemies are known to either of them,
Even though this is true it is surmised
that the authors of the trouble don’t
live very far distant from the Spangler
home and if the surmise is verified they
.will speedily be brought to justice.
CeSTRE COUNTY AND THE DEMO-
cRAfIC STATE CONVENTION.—It is not
often thats convention of the State
Democracy is held so near Centre
1 county as will be the one to convene at
Williamsport, on Wednesday, Sept.
11th, norjs such an opportunity af-
forded every day, of journeying to that
town and back for $1.00, yet both these
inducements are being held out to the
Democrats of Centre county just now.
We have an aspirant for a position on
the new Superior court ticket in the
person of C. M. Bower Esq., and it is
expected that his interest will be great.
ly furthered by the appearance at Wil-
liamsport of a large delegation of his
| friends at home. “Accordingly arrange-
ments have been made with the Central
R. R. of Pa., to sell tickets, from all
points along its line, in Centre county,
to Williamsport and, return for $1.00.
The tickets will be good to use on Tues-
day evening trains, if any one cares to
go down then. The train that most
of the party from here will use will
leave at 7:40 and returning, will leave
Williamsport about 9 o’clock.
The Undine band will go down on
Tuesday so as to be on hand to receive
the Bower club when it arrives next
morning. As 125 tickets had to be pur-
chased to insure such a low rate, it is
desired that every one who can will go.’
The trip will be a pleasant one and po-
litically profitable, as it will afford an
opportunity for all our people to wit-
ness a gathering of the State Democracy
and be benefited thereby, besides, if a
large crowd turns out, it will do much
toward impressing on the convention
the popularity of Mr. Bower at home
and lend that argument in behalf of his
nomination.
Free stabling will be furnished. per-
sons driving to Nittany to take the
train. The hotel stable there will af.
ford free quarters for the horses of those
Democrats who drive there to take the
ain.

of Mrs. Barbara Gross, died last evening

ter a long illness of diseases following

known young woman in Bellefonte and

surprising. >

Wednesday. Both were in town attending

Hutchinson, of Jacksonville, this county; but
it is some years since the family left there
for Freeport, Ill. Fourteen years ago, on ac-
cbunt of Mr.Hewitt’s health, they went to Cali-
fornia and settled at Riverside, the beautiful

—W. A. Beer, Clarion county’s agreeable and
live superintendent, was in town last Friday,
giving Prof. Gramley pointers on a successful
reading course for teachers. Clarion county
has made great strides in grading up its
schools and teachers and Prof. Beer was asked
by the superintendents of Clinton, Centre, and i
Clearfield counties to come in and give them |
the benefit of his experience. Mr. Beer was |
in the Legislature in '$2, which thoroughly |
satisfied him with political life, and we doubt
not that he has been able to do much more for
humanity through the schools than he ever
would have accomplished through politics.
One of the practical results of his last year’s
work was $412 for the Nebraska sufferers, a
penny offering of the school children of Clar-
ion county. '
Ax EpiTor BURGLED.—A burglar
succeeded in burgling editor Kurtz, of
the Centre Hall Reporter, last Thurs-
day night, and now he is out a pair ot
trousers, $23 in cash, alot of notes and
valuable papers and bis railroad pass.
Mr. and Mrs. Kurtz were both awake
when the burglar entered their room
but mistook the flashes of his dark
lantern to be light from a neighbor's
house until it was too late to stop the
thief.
This story sounds a little fishy, dont
you think? We don’t like to believe
it, but we'll bet dollars to doughnuts
that Fred just covered up his head
when he saw that light.
Mrs. Barefoot’s house was entered
the same night, but nothing of value
was taken. A suit of clothes was stolen
from the home of Mr. Snyder the keep-
er of the toll gate.
