In townships and all the boroughs ex- cept Bellefonte only the names of the successiul candidates for the various of- fices are given. The returns are about correct, as taken from the return sheets in the prothonotary’s office. It is im- possible to draw any conclusion as to the relative strength of the two parties in the counly, since in some precincts two men of the same political affiliation ran for the same office under different heads. Some very surprising returns are noted, among them being the elec. tion of Democratic constables in two | ! inspectors, Fred Dale, D. M. Tate; Reg. as. | sessor, Isaac Armstrong; overseer of poor, . Frank Weaver ; gchool directors, J. P. Jack Republican wards of Bellefonte and the election of a Republican constable in tho Democratic ward. The Democrat- ic sweep in College township was a great victory for the workers up there and they are justly proud of it. There was a light vote out on “the other side of the mountain,” which is probably accounted for by the cxtreme- ly cold weather: Bay : BeLLEFONTE Borough. NW. [8 W. [WW TREASURER: Chas. F.

About | the same time a number of villagers | had discovered it and were sounding 1 { { warning to the boys, i As the fire bad started near the foot » of the stair case it made escape by that ' means impossible and many of the oc- | cupants were taken out with difficulty. {Some cf the boys barely saved their live: B. F. Fisher Jr. and K. P. Har- "der both having had tbrilling escapes. The bouse was a cased brick and slate ! structure and occupied a site on the {campus between the Ina and the ar- { mory. It was only completed last April and was valued at between $10,- 000 and $12,000. There is insurance on it amounting to $9,500, with $1,000 on the furniture. : It was counted the finest club house | I'at the college. Had it not been for the ice and snow the fire would undoubtedly have spread. As there is no means of fighting fire at State College, other than by buckets, and with the wind blowing a perfect | gale at the time, it was a very serious | situation for the villagers. Nearly every building in the placa is of frame and a fire once started would be disastrous in ite results. Dear Ar Starke CoLnece.—The death of Miss Jeanna Hunter, which occurred at ber home, at State College» last Saturday morning, after a week’s illness with preumonia removes a most estimable Indy whose memory will be revered by the community in which she bas lived so long. { Her death. though sudden, was not al- ; together unexpected as the disease de- veloped with unusal severity. | Miss Hunter had lived at State Col- | lege for thirty-eight years and her one : sister, Miss Sophia, with her brother, Capt. John A. Hunter, of Storms- town, are the only remaining members ! of a once large family. Her early life wre gpent in the vicinity of Pine Grove Mills, having been born on the old John Weaver farm, near that place, gisty-seven years ago. Her remains | were buried there, Tuesday, after Rev, | Heaney had conducted services at tne house. : The death of this good woman is truly a logs to that community. Her simple, christian life, her charities and kindly nature made ber always much loved by those who knew her, yet in her death tbere should be nothing of sorrow, for already her pure soul is with its Crea- tor. : ——Robbers are getting in good work "in Milton, S— ——Rev.

At any time you drop in yeu will be served with turkey, oysters, salads, cold meats, ica cream or whatever your appetite might crave. “Father” Ruthven, the man who bas been lecturing over ths country under the guise of an ex-pricst, and drawing crowds by advertising “for men only” and “for women only,” bas been shown up to be an imposter. He has lately been in the Clearfield region io flaming those whose morbid minds crave such stories as he tells, but he will more tban likely give Philipsburg a wide berth, as the Ledger has published a two column exposal of him. It is a matter of gratification to us that this man was in Bellefonte a year or soago and po one would give him a hall in which to lecture. Singing CONVENTION.-—-A singing convention is in progross at Mt. Eagle church this week. There is a large class of singers, who are instructed by J. KE. Jobnson, assisted by Miss Kate E. Doroblaser, as accompanist. A large audience witnesses the singing esch sessicn. It will close on Saturday evening with n concert. All aro cordially invited.
