Tee ELEcTION IN THE COUNTY.—
The returns from the various precincts
of tho county are published herewith.
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 :

FIRE AT STATE COLLEGE. —At shout |
8 o'clock yesterdey morning a fire broke
out 2t Stute College that totally de-
stroyed the Landsome new chapter
| house of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. |
| It is supposed that the building took |
| fire from an open grate on the first floor :
| and the interior was burning fiercely
{ when & student named Reynolds, from
Lancaster, wbko i en inmate of the
{ house, was awakened in a nearly saffo.
i cated condition by the smoke. 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. :

“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.
