THE BURGLARS BURGLED AGAIN.—It
seems that Bellefonte is a safe, if not par-
ticularly profitable, field for burglars to
work in. They run from house to house
with impunity, eat meals, hunt for money
and do everything with such sang froid that
people here are coming to look for the noc-
turnal visitors with a kind of twitching of
those involuntary muscles of the scalp that
have something to do with raising the hair.
* There is no fake about these burglars.
They are the real, bona fide thing. They
carry dark lanterns, and shoot off revolv-
ers and run away whenever the brave wom-
en of the households go to catch them.
The night before the election, that was
Monday night, you know, the burglars
took advantage of the great political dem-
onstration down town and visited Linn and
Curtin streets. From the most reliable in-
formation that can be learned there were
two men doing the work. Tracksabout all
the houses showed the imprints of feet en-
cased in pointed toed shoes and feet with-
out any shoes at all. From these tracks it
it supposed that one fellow watched out-
side, while the bare footed individual went
in. It is thought that the fellows started
in on Curtin street, for L. A. Schaeffer’s
dog made such a fuss up about his house
that that gentleman got up and discovered
two men running down the alley toward
Linn street. The home of W. W.
Montgomery, on the latter street, was the
next scene of operation. There a win-
dow on the east side was pried open-with a
flat chisel, the same way in which every en-
trance has been forced, and a plant was
taken from the silland the burglar entered.
After ransacking everything down stairs he
went to the second floor and entered Mrs.
Montgomery’s room. She has been ill for
some time and her daughter Emma has
been sleeping with her. There was a dim
light burning in the room and the man’s
passing between her and it wakened Mrs.
Montgomery. She wakened her daughter
by touching her, but the latter screamed.
Then the intruder blew out the light and
Mr. Montgomery and Joseph ran to the
scenc. The former had a revolver and
could have winged the burglar had he
been able to see. As he fled down the
stairs the fellow turned and fired a shot,
presumably to stop his pursuers, as the
cartridge was a blank one. Nothing was
secured there.
Charley Cruse’s home, four doors below,
was next entered from a porch window.
After everything, down stairs was explored
the hall doors were set open to make an
easy escape in case the trip from the second
story would have to be made quickly. In
opening the vestibule doors, their creaking
awakened Charley,and he got up and light-
ed the gas, then he threw open the door
and heard the burglar run out. He ac-
knowledged that it was some time before
he went down to close up his house again.
Jack Dale’s house, two doors belowCruse’s,
was not forgotten and there everything
was easy until the man entered Mis. Dale’s
room. She had not been sleeping soundly,
owing to Mr. Dale’s illness, and in a half
aroused condition realized that some
stranger was in her room. She called for
her husband and the burglar fled.
Woodcock’s house, just across the street,
was the next place visited. Lee Wood-
cock had come homelfrom Philadelphia to
vote and left his clothes in a room adjoin-
ing his bed room, when he retired. The
burglar secured them and a gold watch
and chain and $5 in cash. This was the
only place where the inmates were not
aroused. Lee’s trousers were found, the
next day, in the alley near Orvis’ house.

BUCKNELL WON.—Of course it was a
dissapointment for the white and blue
rooters, on Saturday, to see State’s team go
down before Bucknell, but the game was a
good one and the Lewisburgers were rob-
bed of much of the glory they might other-
wise have had over the victory by the an-
nouncement, made before the game, that
State did not expect to win.
State’s men looked like pigmies when
lined up against the strapping wearers of
the orange and blue. They didn’t act
like pigmies after the play had commenced,
however, for they repeatedly broke up the
Bucknell interference and tore holes through
their line, with an ease that encouraged
those along the side lines to think that she
would with even with the long odds that
were against her. Bucknell got around
State’s right end. twice in the first half.
Once for 45 yards and later for 20 yards
and a touch-down. No goal resulted.
In the second half State kicked off and
Bucknell returned the ball to the 35 yard
line ; there Heckle caught it and carried it
back 10, then State lost on downs and
Bucknell secured it and by successive
plunges sent Bunnell over the line for
another touchd-own. Goal resulted, 10 to 0.
Though State did not score three quar-
ters of the play was in her opponent’s ter-
ritory and threc times Bucknell’s goal
line fairly had to bend out to keep from be-
ing crossed, but fate was against a score
and it was not made.
There were many reasons why State was
not expected to win on Saturday, but now
that the game is over it can be seen that a
very little changing might have made her
victor.
A CHILD’S SINGULAR DEATH. — Joe
Esenwine, died this afternoon about 1
o’clock from injuries received on Saturday
evening, when he, attempting to arrange a
“‘tick-tack’’ on a window, let it fall to the
ground and while stooping to pick it up
some children on passing threw corn in his
face, a grain of which struck him in the
eye and one of them also kicked him. He
started for the door of his home and step-
ped on the porch, off of which he fell back-
ward. He lingered in great pain until
this afternoon. He was 7 years of age.

THE WEATHER THIS MONTH WILL BE
Tars KIND—SAYS MR. FOSTER :—My
last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm
wave to cross the continent from the 24th
to 28th, and the next disturbance will
reach the Pacific coast about the 29th,
cross the west of Rockies country by close
of the 30th, great central valleys 21st to
November 2nd, eastern States 3rd. This
disturbance will occur during the high
temperature storm period, and the temper-
ature storm period, and the temperature
preceding the storm centre will register
high in the northern States, which will
wave, which will not reach far southward.
The warm wave of the above disturbance
will cross the west of Rockies country
about Oct. 29, great central valleys 31st,
eastern States Nov. 2nd. The cool wave
will cross west of the Rockies country about
Nov. 1st, great central valleys 3rd, eastern
States 5th.
The second disturbance of November
will reach the Pacific coast about 4th, cross
the west of Rockies country by close of
5th, the great central valleys 6th to. 8th,
the eastern States 9th. This disturbance
will occur between the high temperature
and the low temperature storm periods of
the months, and, therefore, the tempera-
tures are not expected to go to extremes.
It will cause heavy rains in middle lati-
tudes, heavy snow in northern latitudes,
and following light frosts are expected in
the middle latitudes of cotton belt. The
warm wave preceding this last disturbance
will cross the west of Rockies country
about Nov. 4th, great central valleys 6th,
eastern States 8th. The cool wave will
cross west of Rockies, country about the
7th, great central valleys 9th, eastern
States 11th.

SATURDAY NIGHT'S MEETING. — All
bail to the Democrats! They were scarce
in some wards on Tuesday but at the
demonstration, Saturday, they did show up
spendidly. Delegation after delegation
came in from the country until the town
was alive with people and enthusiasm.
From Penns valley they came five hundred
strong not counting the three bands. If you
don’t believe us ask conductor Reamer.
The Buffalo Run train brought down two
hundred and that was after the rates had
been raised from 20 to 30 cents. The Nit-
tany valley hosts numbered about one hun-
dred and fifty, without the Zion band, and
you know that counts for twice that many.
And from Bald Eagle, Buffalo Run, Penn
and Nittany valleys came hersemen by the
score. :
The parade, with A. S. Garman as chief
marshal, was way ahead of anything that
has ever been in the town. A bugler with
a guard of honor from the junior Bryan
and Sewall club led the march. Then the
junior Bryan and Sewall club uniformed
and carrying red lights. The speakers in a
carriage dratvn by four white horses and
then the surprising feature of the big
parade—the delegation on horseback, num-
bering two hundred and eighty by actual
count. Prancing and dancing were the
sixteen white and one dun horses that led
the cavalcade, colored lights and banners
waved in the air and the whole was inspir-
ing, triumphal and grand. Nearly a
thousand men were in - the four divisions
which followed, many carrying trans-
parencies, banners or mottoes of the cam-
paign. Ten bands played and the aids
were wonderful in their dignity and show-
ing. Dr. Alexander was general like in
appearance while his steed fairly shown in
its trappings. Mr. Sechler looked selemn
and the dignity of the others was impres-
sive.
The floats were especially good for a
political parade. John Q. Miles, as the
‘‘genuine simon pure Hanna'’, was seated
high up on a china barrel well covered
with dollar marks. Another wagon hauled
The two little Achenbach’s were posed
as the ff‘The Gladiators’ on another
wagon. JOf course the silver one was vie-
torious but long before the parade was
over he tired out and laid down by his gold
brother.
with fetters of gold and Jim Cornelley’s
Democratic rooster leading the G. O. P.
elephant caused much cheering and laugh-
ter. Uncle Sam 16 to 1 and the millionaire
bond holder were all well represented and
called forth much praise.
The court house proved too small for the
great crowds that eagerly listened to ex-
Congressman James Turner, of Michigan,
Hon. James Kerr, of Clearfield, Col. J. L.
Spangler and Hugh S. Taylor, Esq., who
were the speakers. An over-flow meeting
was held in the Diamond and the enthusi-
asm aroused by the speakers has never be-
fore had a parallel at such a gathering in
this place.

Miss MARTHA THOMPSON.——The funer-
al of the late Miss Martha
of Stormstown, Penn’a., eldest daughter of
ex-Sheriff John Thompson, was held Oct.,
son homestead now occupied by Mrs. A. J.
Thompson. The services were conducted
by Dr. H. A. Thompson, of Dayton, Ohio,
a brother of the deceased and Rev. Mr.
Singer, of Stormstown. The remains were
borne to the grave by six of her nephews
where she was laid to rest by the side of
her father and mother in the Friend’s bury-
ing ground. : ‘
The deceased for the past four years
made her home with her only sister, Mrs.
George Horlacher, of Montoursville, but at
the time of her death was visiting her
niece, Mrs. W. A Everett, of Blooms-
burg, Pa.
Her death, which occurred at 5.50 p. m.
Friday, Oct., 23, 1896, was a very sudden
one, and a shock to all who knew her.
Paralysis of the heart was the cause of
death. She had been in her usual health
to the time of her death, and the last
did last week.’
Her earlier years were spent in school
teaching, which she often said she liked
better than anything else. She had been
a consistent member of the Tyrone Presby-
terian church for a number of years, and
her life had been a benediction to all.
Deceased was aged 72 years, 5months and
23 days. /

—Edward Cowdrick with his wife and child
came down from Niagara, Monday evening, fora
short visit to this their old home. A family or
two like the Cowdricks, staunch and true as they
always were, would have beena windfall to the
Democrats on Tuesday.
—Misses Inez and Winifred Fortney, two of
Tyrone’s clever and progressive young women,
were in town, Monday, on their way home from
a short visit at Boalsburg. Miss Inez has been

left his drug store in Washington long enough to
come to Bellefonte, put in his appearance on Sat-
urday night to be on the field in time. Jim en-

rebellions and fever he was perfectly satisfied to
stay on his native heath but a Philadelphia firm,

try, offered him big inducements to go back to
take charge of their lumber interests for six
months, while the general manager came home
for a rest. He will be located about 150 miles
from Cartagena and goes on a sailing vessel which
ships for twenty days on the ocean and a ten days
stop at Cuba.
—The number of voters who were home to show
their loyalty to their party was not a measure of
the means of the two parties.” The Republicans
with all their boodle had scarcely & better show-
ing than the Democrats who, in many cases, de-
pended on the patriotism of their voters to bring
them home and were not disappointed. From
Philadelphia, were John O'Conner, A. Sternberg,
Dave Kelley, Woods Seabring, John Lingle,
Edward Harris, Lee Woodcock, and Olie Meek.
From Harrisburg, W. I. Fleming, Edward
Rankin, Wilbur Harris, and John T. Johnson.

evening.
Dr. Bright was the most conspicuous figure
in the parade among the dozen Brushvalley
representatives at the Republican band picnic
at Millheim. ol:
Ex-treasurer James Gramley is still one of
our very best political hustlers. *‘S’is fa an
goodie cause.” “Ich bring die Demokratischa
on de poles so long os ich leh.”
Henry Kreider, who is attending Franklin
and Marshall college, and the Brungart boys
attending college at Selinsgrove, were home
over Sunday.
And behold the silver patriotism waxed
bold and hot at Livonia on the night previous
to the election, but silver gained the victory
for Reuben had ‘cleared the patch.”
The night in the telephone office, listening
to reports, will long be remembered for its
inflnite length, for its silence, for smiles by
the few Republicans only, for its lack of sleep
and much hope.
We are sorry to say that Livonia's
most enthusiastic silver champion. Mr.
Thomas Stover, who remained over
night at Rebersburg to hear the telephone
announce the election of Bryan, had to carry
the sad news of McKinley's election.
THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT LIVONIA—
Last week was a great success and bore,
precious fruit last Tuesday. It was addressed
by Ira Mitchell, Esq., who made an excellent
speech. The room was crowded in side and out
and, over half of them were Republicans who
are to be complimented for their undivided
attention and excellent behavior. Harry
Yearick, the teacher of that place, was chosen
chairman and presided with dignity and
ability. Very much of the success of this
meeting is due to Messrs. Thomas and George
Stover, and the kind hospitality of Reuben
Stover.
Col. Coburn’s flying visit accompanied
by several other machine bosses caused a
slight sensation among our silver men when
they saw Captain John Bright, Snyder Miller,
and Samuel Strohecker, take to flight
through the valley. But they soon learned
that they were fighting themselves, telling
their Republican brethren to vote for Foster
if place of Wolmesdorff because the latter
was not a wheel of the Hasting’s machine
and would not vote for him for United States
Senator. Fighting Wolmesdorff, who had
made a determined stand against the increase
of salaries under the present burdens of tax-
ation, against the oleomargarine bill, and
anything of a political machine brand, showed
the calibre of the Republicans who brought
on the battle.
NoTicE—Is hereby given that the silver
club and all other silver Democrats will go
up salt river next week on the boat called
“Hannarchy.” Every one must be in Uncle
Sam’s uniform, no bloomers being allowed.
All silver men will occupy the reserved seats
in the parlor. All Jeflersonians will please
occupy the smoking room without the least
bolting. The remains of the Republican
county ticket will begin their work of coal
shoveling at once in the engine room. $200,-
000 is offered to any gold-bug who can boast
of having a five-dollar gold piece and a 53-
cent dollar. Short stops will be made at
Madisonburg, Livonia, Wolf Store, Kreamer-
ville. At Rebersburg it will pass through
the long water ditch, thence to Bryan station
up the river by an underground passage in
order to escape the dark clouds of Republican
gas in the country.
