G. P. en- campment, is only $1. This low rate for the 62 miles will remind some of our old readers of the days when Lewistown was our nearest rail-road station and Bob Cum- mings and Watty Graham ran rival stage coach lines. The competition between them got sb hot that they hauled passengers over for $1 and ga@ them dinner besides. Harry Williams, one of S. H. Wil- liams’ painters, performed a remarkable acrobatic feat, last Monday morning, that possibly saved him from serious injury. While engaged at painting the house of police captain H. H. Montgomery, on east High street, the ladder on which he was standing slipped, precipitating him to the ground. The fall was quite a high one and might have injured him had he not turned a flipper. just before he lighted, so that he struck the ground feet foremost. CooL ROBBERS CARRY AWAY GOODS FROM ONE OF BELLEFONTE'S LEADING STORES.—About the coolest and most de- liberately worked robbery that police an- nals have any record of in Bellefonte was that of Powers’ shoe store, on High street, in the Arcade, early last Monday morning. The noise of the work was heard by Mr. and Mrs. Fritz, who occupy apartments on ‘the second floor of the building, and both of them saw one of the robbers, while he looked, deliberately, at them, yet, withal, the store was opened, many shoes were taken out, the burglars locked up the room again and left so coolly thatno trace, what- ever, remains by which there is any hope of apprehending them. The story of the robbery is about as follows : About 1 o'clock in the morning Mrs. Fritz was awakened by a bumping sound that seemed to emanate from the store room below. She called her hushand’s attention to her suspicion that there was something wrong, but he reassured her by explaining : “Qh, it is only George Williams, the clerk, putting his bicycle away,”’ as he had been in the habit of leaving it at the store after late night rides. Both went to sleep again and think it wasat least an hour later when they were aroused by a loud slamming noise, like that caused by a falling window. Both Mr. and Mrs. Fritz got up and went out onto the balcony that runs along the High street end of the building and were surprised to see a man standing at the curb directly in front of Powers’ store. ~Imme- diately upon his seeing them he ran down the street and into the main hallway of the Arcade, but ina few moments he ran out again and on down Water street. From the dirty finger marks on the door and above it it is evident that entry was made through the transom, one of the kind that is closed by aswinging window, hinged at the top. Appearances indicated that one man entered and then opened the back store windows, through which the plunder was passed to confederates waiting on the out-side. The store was securely locked, when Mr. Powers entered it Monday morn- ing, the rear shutters were fastened on the inside, but not as he had been accustomed to fasten them and one of the windows was left hoisted. This led Mr. Powers to be- lieve that the robber left the store by means of the transom and that it was the noise caused by its dropping that. aroused Mr. ‘and Mrs. Fritz. Some people think that the robbers had a wagon in the alley, at the rear of the building, as the rumbling sound of wheels was heard in that quarter during the night. And such a thing is unusual. Mr. Powers is unable to estimate his loss, as his stock was not in order, it having been left, from a Saturday rush, to be put in order on Monday morning. There were at least thirty pair of fine shoes taken, three special orders, and possibly more. The safe was not touched. There was con- siderable money in it. ——ate——————— ROBBERS ABROAD IN THE TOWN AGAIN. —The excursions of the robber band, that has been creating so much alarm among the women—and we might as well include the men, too—in this place, for some time, still goon. And they seem justas secure in their night-time marauding as ever they were. Early last Saturday morning a domestic in the home of Samuel Sheffer, on east Cur- tin street, was awakened by some one pok- ing his hand through the screen door that opened from the room she was sleeping in out onto a second story porch, at the rear of the house. Earlier in the morning she had been down stairs, trying to cure a toothache, and at that time heard a strange noise, but supposing it was made by a dog she went to bed without further thought about the matter until the above occurred. Of course she screamed. The fuss aroused Mr. Sheffer and the boys, who ran to her rescue, bui the burglar escaped. He jump- ed to the ground and fled with his com- panions, who were evidently waiting be- low, for several men were seen to run out of the alley. ee HARD LINES FOR A LOVER.—On Mon- day a young Lock Haven man named Tim Donnevan came up to this place to see a girl to whom he had been paying addresses for some time. When he called at the house her step-father objected to his entering and when the suitor persisted he was violently ejected by the irate head of the house, who happened to be the possessor of strong blacksmith arms. . Nothing daunted the young fellow went down street and purchased an armful of groceries, thinking, with these, to cajole the father into a better impression of him. But it had quite a contrary effect, for when he appeared at the house the second time that worthy sailed into him and gave him a good trouncing, then called the police and had him locked up. The young lady took out a warrant, Wed- nesday, and had him lodged in jail, for making threats about her. npr el lems. RIDING TO BEDFORD.—A party of young ladies and gentlemen from this place started overland, to Bedford, last Monday. They made the trip in what must have been a very enjoyable way. Some of them were on horse-back re in a carriage and some on bicyclés. The party is composed of Misses Caroline and Annie Valentine, Miss Elizabeth Blanchard and Miss Alice Wilson, of this place ; Miss Marcie Seiler, of Harris- burg ; Ned Blanchard and Frank Rhoads, of Bellefonte ; and Don Halderman and Jim Cameron, of Harrisburg. The crowd that left here was increased when Hollidayshurg was reached. ———————— ——Mert Cunningham is putting a con- crete crossing, over Spring street, on the south side of High.

Representatives were present from all over the county and several Lock Haven and Williamsport physicians attended. A committee from the West Branch medical association was present to make arrangements for the hold- ing of the next annual meeting of that so- ciety in Bellefonte. During Tuesday’s meeting interesting papers were read by Dr. W. B. Henderson, of Philipsburg ; Dr. George F. Harris, of Bellefonte, and Dr. E. A. Russell, of Unionville. ve ——C. H. Bressler, representing the Democrat publishing company, of Lock Haven, spent Tuesday in town in the in- terest of the blank book department of that concern. He interested a number of the court house officials in a fine piece of work he was showing and it is likely paved the way to some trade in this place. Lock Haven is near at hand and any bind- ing or blank book making you need can be promptly done there as well as at any other place, and far better than at a great many. +o ——An old horseman says: ‘‘Now that fly time is approaching those who have charge of horses can save a great deal of annoyance by a simple remedy. When you go to the stable in the morning, take with you a sponge and a pail of water. Wash the eyes and heads of your horses, and make them as clean as you would like your own face to be when you appear at the breakfast table. Did you ever notice that flies are continually buzzing around the heads of horses in hot weather? There is a cause for it, and the cause is that the heads of horses are dirty. Try the simple remedy, and see if good results do not fol- low.” If the operation doesn’t keep the flies off the washing will be a good thing for the horses at any rate. THE ARMY WORM A PEST.—The army worm is on the march again and from all parts of the State come reports of the damage wrought by these multi-legged lit- tle worms. Their appearance has caused many people from affected districts to ask the state department of agriculture for relief and a circular just sent out by Dr. B. H. Warren, state zoologist, contains informa- tion that might help some of our readers to protect their fields and lawns. “The fully developed worm is a little over an inch long, of a gray or dingy black color with black stripes and narrow lines of white on back, and the under surface is of a more or less greenish color ; the head is smooth and yellowish, with two black lines running from top to mouth. It has sixteen legs, and those from the middle of the body are each marked with a shining black or blackish band. The worms, when disturbed, curl them- selvesiup like “cut worms,”’ and drop to the ground. They complete their growth in about one month, at the end of which period they burrow into the ground an each caterpillar changes to a brown pupa, from which, in two or three weeks, the moth emerges. The female moth is said to lay about 750 minute and white eggs, and these hatch in from eight to ten days. TO PREVENT THEIR SPREAD. The best authorities recommend the mowing of a wide swath around the invad- ed field, then plow a deep furrow with the straight side toward the part to be protect- led, and at intervals of a few feet make holes with a crow-bar, or dig small pits in- to which the worms entrapped in the ditch will fall. Where the number of worms is’ very great and the ditch becomes partially filled plow a second furrow, thus covering up the worms and providing a second line of de- fence. Some authorities recommend the use of kerosene sprinkled over the worms entrap- ped in the ditch and thereby destroy them; others use a slight covering of straw which is set on fire, and accomplish the same re- sult. It is also recommended that ordinary fence hoards be set up on edge, end to end, across their path, and then apply a coating of tar or kerosene to this wooden barrier, which checks their progress. Some ento- mologists recommend spraying of the grass ahead of the worms with Paris green, thus poisoning the forage on which they subsist. For this purpose one pound of Paris green to 150 or 200 gallons of water is a proper proportion. The most effective method seems to be recovered..| the constructing of a ditch with the plow, as stated above, cutting the side next the part to be protected perpendicular, and then attending to the destruction of the worms as they are entrapped in the ditch.” ‘ at Wuy WE Dip IT.—The following para- graph, which appeared in a recent issue of the Magnet and for which we thank Mr. Bailey, the editor, needs a word of expla- nation from the WATCHMAN. The Magnet said : The WATCHMAN, decidedly the handsom- est and best edited sheet in Centre county, is also remarkably enterprising and issued an extra edition, Saturday morning, telling all about the convention. The edition referred to was the four page issue of this paper that reached Centre county readers on Saturday, containing a full report of the Chicago convention, up to 12 o'clock Friday night. The WATCH- MAN had special telegraphic reports from Chicago up to that hour and as it became known that no nomination for Vice Presi- dent would be made it went to press so that its readers would know who was at the head of the ticket and how the work had been done, before the close of the week. | - The extra was not published as a money making scheme. It was simply for the benefit of regular readers. And, like our extra and art supplement on the Ettlinger murder, was appreciated. These departures are not made without considerable expense, but that is never con- sidered when we have an opportunity to serve our readers. > — HarPILY WEDDED.—On Wednesday evening, at the home of the bride’s father in Pittsburg, a pretty wedding was solem- nized, when Miss Anna Hunter, of that place, and William T. Speer were united in marriage by the Rev. L. C. Barnes of the Fourth avenue Baptist church. Although the wedding was a quiet home affair, with neither ushers nor attendants, it was very pleasant and pretty. The bride was dressed in white organdy over white silk and carried a shower bouquet of lilies of the valley. She is the only daughter of John Hunter, superintendent of highways of the city of Pittsburg, and is said to be an attractive and bright girl. . The groom is the third son of W: T. Speer, of this place, and when at home was one of our most popular boys.
