A ee Kurds Butcher Americans. Swept Down on the Unsuspecting People of Egin and Murdered Them Without Mercy. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 21.—Details re- ceived here regarding the massacre at Egin, in the Vilayet of Kharput, show that it oc- curred on the 15th and 16th of the present month. The Kurds attacked the Armen- ian quarter, killed a large number of its in- habitants, and pillaged and burned their houses. Many Armenians escaped to the mountains. According to the accounts of the Turk- ish Government, 600 Armenians were killed at Egin, and these advices also state that the outrage was provoked by the Ar- menians firing into the Turkish quarter. No authentic details of the massacre have yet been received. eo The Armenians of Egin escaped the massacres of 1895 by purchasing their se- curity with money and produce. It is feared here that the massacre at Egin is the beginning of a fresh series of massacres in Armenia. A special cabinet meeting has been held at the palace in order to con- sider plans for completing the defenses of the Dardanelles, as proposed by the Russian General Tschikatscheff, who inspected these fortifications sonre time ago, which was re- garded as indicating an understanding be- tween Turkey and Russia for defensive purposes. Artin Pasha, the Turkish Under Secre- tary for foreign affairs, has been instructed to accomplish the reconciliation of the gov- ernment with the Armenians, the means suggested being that Armenians should send an address to the Sultan, praying for protection, asserting that the Armen- ians are always loyal and condemning the agitators. The Way It Was in Arkansas. From the Pittsburg Post. “The fact that a State like Arkansas, with the character of whose elections we have become familiar, exhibited such a splendid increase of Republican votes of such a sig- nificant decrease of Democratic votes, is in the highest degree important, and a rela- tive increase of Republican votes in the other States of the middle and West would give us a practically solid vote.”’ Thus General Grosvenor is chasing sun- beams and electing McKinley on paper. . The best test of the strength of parties is on the presidential vote. In 1892 Arkansas voted as follows, compared with the vote at the late election : 1892, 1806. Democrat. c....ie we 87,834 091,124 Republican 46,884 35,836 Populist. ..11,831 13,989 Prohibiti 113 742 The total vote for President was 147,929, and at the late election for Governor 141,- 150. The ‘‘splendic increase’ of the Re- publican vote of which Grosvenor speaks was, in fact, a positive .decrcase of 11,048, while ‘‘the significant decrease’’ of the Demoratic vote was made manifest by an increase of 3,290. Won’t General Grosven- or please try it again ? Troops Called Out. Three Companies of Militia in Leadville—General Brooks Establishes a Camp on the Old Base Ball Grounds—The Greatest Caution Displayed in En- tering the City—The Movements of the Troops Being Sullenly Watched. LEADVILLE, Colo., Sept. 22.— A special train of eight coaches after waiting some time for a second ‘section, with companies from Greely, Boulder and Longmont, also a long line of freight cars, containing horses, ammunition and provisions, pulled into Leadville at 8:30 this morning. The approach to Leadville was made with great caution, three companies of infantry de- ploying skirmishers for six miles before reaching the city. The men slept in the cars all night, breakfast being served at 5:00 a. m. The movement of the militia is being sullenly watched by groups of strikers. General Brooks has decided to pitch camp in the old base ball grounds, near the depot. the space being amply saf- ficient to hold several thousand men. ADDITIONAL LOCALS. ——ZEx-Senator W. W. BETTS, of Clear- eld, died at his home, at noon, yesterday, after a long illness with Bright’s disease. Senator BETTS was one of the prominent Democrats of this district, though not active in politics since his refusal of a re-nomina- tion for the Senate his counsel has been much sought by party managers. ie ——Oliver Whitmer, a carpenter em- ployed at the Morris lime operations about this place, met with a serious accident at the Buffalo Run quarries, on Monday. They were tearing out some old trestle work, when Oliver lost his balance and fell forty feet to the ground. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and taken to his home, where he is in a preca- rious state. His thigh is broken and he is suffering with a number of other injuries. nn A POSSIBILITY THAT THE GLASS WORKS WiLL START.—It will be pleasant reading for many of our readers when we state that there is a possibility of the glass works be- ing started within a very short time. The plant has been out of blast for a long time ; there are plenty of people who think money can be made at the business here, just as well as any other place. There is doubtless something in such thoughts, for the factory is in excellent condition. The furnace is all right, there are good pots on hand, ready for use, and all that needs be done is some small repairs to the roof. It has been frequently rumored that the glass works were being looked at by a syndicate of outside capitalists but that has been the furthest it has ever gone. This time, however, a party of practical glass workers whose homes and interests are in Bellefonte, have been making nego- tiations looking toward starting the factory. They are men who are well known here. They are reliable and trustworthy and we hope their efforts will succeed. They have enough ready money to buy what stock is needed to run them until re- turns begin to come in. This, with a re- lease from rent for a year and exonera- tion from half the taxes, ought to start them off in good shape. It is proposed to run the factory on the co-operative plan. In the party there are two flatteners, and several blowers and tenders and an expert pot maker and furnace builder." If the plan is carried out the present furnace will be divided and just four pots will be used. This will furnish work for about twenty men. In the event of a satisfactory arrangement work will be begun in about two weeks, MARRIAGE LicExsEs.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by orphans’ court clerk, G. W. Rumberger, during the past week. Orlanda Lowery and Bella Smith, both of Spring township. é Edward T. Robinson and Clara Way, both of Port Matilda. Theodore N. Brown, of Millheim, and Jennie G. Styers, of Haines township. William E. Cole and Sarah E. Kern, both of Oak Hall. : William E. Brown, of Los Angeles, Cal., and Mary L. Noonen, of Bellefonte. Gilbert Rice, of College Twp., and Mary E. Potter, of Patton tewnship. eee elle. CouNcCIL MEETS.—Seven members of the borough council were present, on Monday night, at the semi-monthly meeting. The Street committee reported that the stone crusher, screener and elevator had been purchased at a cost of $715. The com- mittee also reported that the recent storms undo the work that is done on the hills, just as fast as it is completed. The only rem- edy is to stop using so much clay in mak- ing the streets. If nothing but lime stone is used and a top dressing of crushed stone put on it the rains will not wash it nearly so bad, nor will weeds grow on it until the streets are even greener looking than the cow pastures out side of town. A request of Gottleib Haag for the improvement of Penn street, between Bishop and Cherry alley, was referred to this committee. The Water street committee reported the repairing of a number of leaks, the letting of the coal contract to R. B. Taylor and the good condition of the department. The Fire and Police committee reported that Mr. Humes had consented to repair the Logan hose house. It recommended new uniforms for the police and the burgess was empowered to purchase same. Under this report the question of electing a fire marshall was taken up, but as council had not received proper credentials from the various companies for an election the mat- ter was deferred until later in the evening, when Jas. D. Seibert, of the Logan engine company, was chosen without opposition. The matter of appropriatious was again taken up and president Brockerhofi stated that they would be made just as soon as the fire companies stated what authority council has over them. The Market committee reported the col- lection of $7.20 fees. A draft of bicycle ordinance was read, but not being exactly what is needed it was laid on the table until the next meeting. If council passes an ordinance it should prohibit riding on the side-walks and re- quire the use of bells and lanterns. Mr. John P. Harris requested that the tax on the glass works be reduced one- half for at least a year as there is a move- ment on foot to start it on the co-operative plan and he has offered it rent free, for a year. Council acted on the suggestion and authorized the reduction. After authorizing the payment of bills to the amount of $154.04 council adjourned. Pine Grove Mention. Last Monday morning Jack frost touched vegetation lightly. The venerable Geo. Kustaborder is seriously { ill with a bad cold but at this writing is some better, Mrs. Cyrus Goss with several of her little folks are visiting at the home of her mother. on Water street. J.B. Ard and family are enjoying their yearly outing on the banks ofthe rippling waters of Stone creek, where the air is pure, plenty and fresh. Adam Felty, one of Harris townships big farmers is sick with stomach trouble. For some days his family were much worried but he is better now. Mr. T. J. Devine, of West Point, Va., has our thanks for appraising us of Mr. Wm. H. Hammers’ improvement from along sickness of fever at that place. Next Monday the 28th, Ferguson town- ship schools will open for the winter term. Notices are posted requiring older children to be vaccinated before entering school. After a pleasant visit to the Wilson Gard- ner homestead Harry Gardner and wife and Robt. Gardner returned to their places of busi- ness in the Smoky city, last Monday. Mr. and Mrs. N. O. Dreibelbis have the sympathy of the community in the loss of their dear little son Daniel Washington. He was three months old and died last Saturday of stomach trouble. We are glad to announce the improvement of Mrs. G. W. McWilliams, who was taken ill at the funeral of her little grandchild, at the Pine Hall cemetery, on the 21st. She has been complaining forsome days but ventured to attend the funeral services when she was prostrated with a nervous chill. Last evening the Ferguson township Bryan and Sewall club held their first meeting at Pine Hall, when the silverites had a big rally. The school house, in which the meet- ing was held, was packed long before the hour of meeting. Shortand breezy speeches were made by Foster, Colfax and others concerning the true financial condition of our great country. A gold meeting was posted for Baileyville last Tuesday evening with Rev. Illingworth as the orator. But for some unknown cause he failed to put in his appearance, probably the same fate befell him that did the Boggs- township speakers last week. After waiting, and waiting in vain the small crowd of yellow boutenniers withered in the silver chill and the speaker went with the G. O.P. The good book tells us that at times we look through a glass darkly but the time comes when the darkness is dispelled, everything becomes clear plainer. For the last year or more Charles Stover has been making regular visits to Potter township. But lately everything was made clear, when he and Miss Nettie Fry, of near Cen- tre Hall, were united in marriage. The groom is one of our most industrious young men. The bride is a daughter of Emanuel Fry, of Potter ‘township, she is endowed with all the qualities required to make a good help mate through life. Here is our Za¥~ Charles to you and your lady. A SAD DEATH.—It is with sadness that we record the death of a former Centre county boy. From a letter written by Grant Yarnell of Wyoming, we learned that his brother Boyd had been shot by a bushwhacker several weeks ago. From what information/can be obtained, Boyd was engaged in the cattle business and had sold a lot of cattle on the day he was shot which fact points to the conclu- sion that he was murdered for his money. When found his pockets were rifled and turned inside out. Some four years ago the three brothers Grant, Boyd, and Griffen left Centre county for the wilds of the far West to engage in cattle and sheep raising. From what can be learned they have been fairly successful and made some money. The dead boy wasason of our townsman, Henry Yarnell, who with his large family of sons and daugh- ters have the tender sympathy which so sad a death meritsq The silverites of Boalsburg and vacinity had a rousing meeting on Wednesday evening of this week. The town hall was packed and the entire meetings was a success. The spokesmen were J. C. Meyers and W. C. Heinle and from the amount of R. M. Foster’senthsiam we ave inclined to think that old Harris will show large increased majorties on the 3rd day of November. Hon. W. A. Murray was elected chairman, and Cyrus Durst, Lawience Fox, Frank Weiland and Jacob Weber, vice presidents. W. H. Fry, secre- tary. ' Port Matilda Pointers. Mr. A. P. Stevens and wife of Ramey, and Mrs. Vara Mills, of Houtzdale, have been on a visit to their many friends at this place. They returned to their homes on Tuesday evening. The U. B. conference being Maxwell and Ott, of this place, have re- turned to their homes. Rev. Ott has been transferred to the Coalport charge and will remove to that place in a short time. Elias Walk, of Taylor township, has been making Lis home with his brother who Michael, near Vail station, for a couple of months, being in failing health all sum- mer, died, on last Sunday evening, and was buried at Mount Pleasant cemetery on last Tuesday. There was quite an accident occurred to a gentleman and two ladies from Osceola, on their way to this place last Monday evening. They were about 2 miles from here when the gentleman made an effort to pass a buggy in front of him and in driving to one side of the road he did not notice a small over, ReV-! bridge ahead of his team. His carriage ran . over the edge of it and was upset, throwing the three occupants out. The horses became frightened and broke away from the carriage. The ladies were considerably bruised and were hrought to this place, where Drs. Harsh- berger and Thompson gave them surgical at- tention. They were able to make their re- turn home by rail, on Tuesday cvening. We did not learn their names. All Through Brush Valley. The Lutheran church in Rebersburg has a new roof. What makes Mr. Henry Detweiler, our popular school teacher, smile so serenely is the indisputa- ble fact that it is a Bryan baby. Charles Haines, one of our well known young gentlemen, is very ill with typhoid fever in Ken- tucky. We sincerely hope he may recover and be with us again as in times gone by. Mr. C. C. Loose is the only man of our valley who had the pleasure of hearing Bryan in Washington Park, N. J., last week. Mr. Loose said he could have listened to him two hours longer. Now some honest (?) Republican candidate was made to believe by one of our boastful gold Dem- ocrats, that there are twenty Democrats voting for McKinley in Miles township. Any one that can tell an equally big lie will receive a gold medal. Calvin Bower, Esq.; will speak to-morrow even- | Ing at the east end of our valley in Brumgart's | school house. Let our people go and hear him. ' He is a very able speaker. Letevery farmer take ! his neighbors to hear the all-convincing story of free silver and sound money. J. C.
