Bic Fire AT CoBURN.—Lste Tues-
day night the town of Coburn was
startled by the cry of “fire” and though
the first warning did not foretell an
alarming Situation an investigation dis-
closed that the large grain house and
creamery of Luther Guisewhite was
ablaze.
The absence of fire protection made it
most alarming and by the time the fire
had burned out, Guizewhite’s buildings,
together with 1000 bushels of wheat, a
lot of rye, oats and other articles amount-
ing to $7,000 in value were totally de-
stroyed. He had about $3,000 insur-
ance.
There was no wind at the time but
the flames spread to the lumber yards of
the Harter brothers and licked up about
80,000 feet of lumber, then consumed
50,000 feet owned by C.C. Lose. In
addition to these four freight cars, one
loaded with salt, were burned and the
railroad station was badly scorched.
The fire is supposed to have started in
tbe engire room of the creamery where
they had been working late that night.

7 P. M. Mr. Eugene H. Heverly and
Miss Anna Marilla Stewart, both of

by Rev. J. C. Young, in the presence
of a few intimate f{riends. The bride
was exquisitely * attired in heavy
cream satin and presented a beautiful
appearance. The groom is a handsome
young man of industrious and temperate
habits. Surely a brilliant future is be-
fore the happy young folks.
Mr. Heverly holds a lucrative posi-
tion in Mann's axe factory, near Lewis-
town, where he ard his bride will locate
for the present. After the marriage
ceremony had been performed the
invited guests sat down to an elegant re-
past, a most royal feast, so delicately
prepared and so tastefully served as to
please the most fastidious.
After the feast. came the big serenade
by the boys and girls of the village, yes,
even many of the married people, who
likely bad passed this way before, joined
with the younger ones to do honor to the
newly married couple.
KiLLep WuiLk Rassir Hustine,
— A sad accident betell Russell Confer,
the 16 year old son of Elias Confer, of
Loganton, on Saturday afternoon. The
young man had becn out hunting for
rabbits and was standing on a log, with
the butt of his gun on the log at his
side. The weapon slipped out of his
bands and scraped aiong the log, dis-
charging it. The load entered Confer’s
body in the abdomen, on the left side,
going upward and lodging near the
right lung. He was so near home that
his mother heard his cries and went to
his assistance. He was carried into the
Henry Quigley and Mrs." W. Frederick house where he lingered in great pain

——Among the many entertaining
literary features at the Academy, Fri-
day afterncon, was the Addisonian
Mirror, tbe society paper issued by the
students at the end of each term. It
was full of choice articles and jokes of a
locai nature that made it doubly enter-
taining. ‘Bobby’ Valentine, the staff
artists had illustrated some of the best
hits in a way that gave them an addi-
tional pointedness. An original poem,
by Miss Elizabeth Gephart, the little
daughter of Supt. J. W. Gephart, of
the Central R. R., embodied a beautiful
Thanksgiving sentiment in verses of
which many an older writer might feel
proud.
——One of the meanest, most con-
temptible tricks we have ever heard of
was the one some miserable shyster
played on David Meyer, a farmer living
near Linden Hall. Mr. Meyer uses
about 1200 feet of inch metal pipe to
conduct water from a near-by spring to
his farm house and barn. The pipe was
laid on the surface. Though the con-
stant flow of the water through it would
have kept it from freezing this unknown
stopped up the lower end, during the
recent cold weather, and the water froze
solid all along the pipe. A new line of
pipe will have to be laid to supply wae
ter for the farmer and his stock. We
didn’t think there was a wretch in Cen-
tre county despicable enough to have
been guilty of such a trick.
