business in Tyrone. He learned his trade

being properly started Andrew ought to
make a success of the new venture.
——There will be a change in the run-
‘ning of nearly all the Pennsylvania trains

only a few minutes, yet it will be enough
to cause annoyance if yon are not ac-
quainted with it.
——The Brockerhoff house hus looks as
neat and pretty as new paint and artistic
finishing can make it. It has just come

now a rolling advertisement of the good
work done at those shops.
——The Centre Hall Reporter is respon-
sible for the scare that the annual session of

will convene in that place this year.
——The Undine fire company, in prepa-
ration for their annual Thanksgiving ball,

— “Professor’’ Day, the modern hyp-
notist, closed a very successful week’s en-
gagementat Garman’s, on Monday evening,
by entertaining the largest house of the
season. Though Day has only to do with
hypnotism and the results that can be ac-
complished through its employment it has
been a long time since there has been so
much entertainment provided at Garman’s.
Everything he does or persuades his sub-
jects to do is neat and clean, so that no one
could find the slightest pretext on which
to decry the phenomena.
Two OLp FIGHTERS.—A fist fight has
seldom a funny side because the better
nature of everyone is shocked by the mani-
festation of such brutality but Bellefonte
laughed a great deal, last Friday, when the
facts of a fight which two of her oldest
residents indulged in became known.
Nearly everyone knows old Johnny Cald-
well. He is 78 years old and indeed it
seems as though he ought to be about an
hundred, for he was quite an old man when
he used to deliver coal for the Snow Shoe
company and spend his idle time chasing
the boys who were wont to disturb his
geese on their nests on the island near
where the Central R. R. of Penna. station
now ‘stands. Johnny isn’t one of the
most robust of men, In fact he is little
and skinny and scarcely weighs 100 lbs,
but he still possesses that refreshing Irish
grit that seems to hang on to the last breath
of age. Last Friday morning he was walk-
ing along Beaver street, when he met his
anything but friend, Benj. Housel, aged 82,
and too heavy tobe weighed on a scale that
doesn’t register at least 200 lbs. The elec-
tion had been of too recent occurrence for
the men to pass without some remark and
the most natural thing in the world for
them to begin to twit one another about was
the division of the spoils of the Republican
victory. Johnny Caldwell said it would
be hard to remove the Democratic mail
carriers without cause, the lie passed and
the two old fellows were fighting like game
cocks in less time than it takes to tell it.
Housel’s superior weight told in the
in fighting. In fact it was only a matter of
a minute or so until Johnny was broad on
his back, while Ben was sitting astride of
him, choking him with the one hand and
laying on with his cane with the other.
It is just as bard to make an old dog
forget his old tricks as it is to make one
learn new ones and that accounts for
Housel’s eye looking like the eight ball at
pool before he got Johnny down. The
as a scrapper and before his opponent sat
down on him he decorated Benjamin's eye
in such a way as would have made ita
capital ornament for Mark Hanna’s flag
day.
About the time the two.old fellows had
exhausted themselves and were too weak
to give the peace maker the thumping he
usually receives Dr. R. G. H. Hayes ar-
rived and separated them. Each proceeded
“to take the law’ on the other, but the
{law refused to have anything to do with
either. so the old scrappers pass without
| speaking now, but they watch each other
out of the corners of their eyes, all the
same.

THE GLASS WORKS WILL BE IN BLAST
SooN.—It has been five years since glass
has been made at the factory in this place
and it is now beginning to look as if it will
not be half as many weeks until the plant
will be in full operation again.
Last Monday the last dollar of the neces-
sary $3,000. to start it off on the co-opera-
mains only to put a new roof on the
factory and divide the furnace, so that
four pots only need be worked. It will
not take long to accomplish this so that
it is confidently expected that before the
middle of December the factory will
be started up on a safer basis than it has
| ever heenoperated on before.
It will be wholly on the co-operative
plan; the skilled workmen controlling
everything, with the possible exception of
the books, which will be turned over to an
expert accountant. Under this plan there
will be no interest on borrowed money to
pay, no high salaries to officials and no one
but practical glass men directing the work.
Tf the factory cannot be made a success un-
der such conditions then there can be no
possibility of making money in the glass
business in Bellefonte.
The final arrangements were concluded
yesterday about noon and what will be
known as the Co-operative Glass Company
Thomas Shaughensy ; manager, James Con-
roy ; directers ; Jacob Gehring, John A.
Waite, Matthei Vable and Louis Kohlbeck-
rer. The other men interested are Herman
scoyoc.
They are to get the factory free of rent
until August ’97. After that time they
have an option to lease it’ at $600 per
year. Council has already exonerated half
the taxes. !

BURNED ON SUNDAY. — About one
o'clock Sunday afternoon the house, barn
and out-buildings, owned by John Dolan,
near Jacksonville, were totally destroyed
by fire with nearly all of their contents.
Most of the furniture, two horses, two
cows, farm implements, 300 bushels of
potatoes and 350 bushels of corn are lost.
Mr. Dolan was in the house at the time
the flames were discovered, but they had
gained such headway before he noticed
ing building. The loss is a very serious
one to the family, as they carried no in-
surance.
The rumor that a little girl of the family
had been burned up in the house is all a
hoax.

— Statistics of this year’s crop of ap-
' ples are beginning to come in. The New
England Homestead estimates the crop in
the United States at a little less than 59,-
1 000,000 barrels, as against 57,000,000 bar- |
Cruse, George Scigwort and George Van- | rels in 1894 and 60,500,000 barrels in 1895.
It appears, then, that the crop which was
| supposed to be phenomenal is so only in
| certain sections, and the general average is
low, rather than high. New England and
i New York, however, report over 16,000,-
| 000 barrels, as against a little more than
| 7,000,000 last year ; while Michigan has
| the largest and finest crop she has ever
{ had. This is a situation where facilities
| tor distribution are needed, in order that
all parts of the country may have their
i share of the fruit.

| ——Col. William - E. Potter, the dis-
| tinguished and well-known New Jersey
| lawyer, died after a long illness of locomotor
| ataxia, at his home, in Bridgeton, on Mon-,
| day. Col. Potter stood high in military
i circles as well as judicial, for his career dur-
| ing the war was most honorable and gal-
lant. He took part in nineteen engage-
| ments and was one of the six officers de-
| tailed to deliver the colors surrendered by
| Gen. Lee's army to Edward M. Stanton,
| at Washington, in ’65. He was a member
, of the Society of the Cincinnati, the Loyal
; Legion of Pennsylvania and the Meade
| Post, of Philadelphia. Col. Potter always
| seemed very near to Centre countains.
| His mother was Jane Barron, of Ferguson
| township, and through her he was related
to the Barrons, Mitchells and Meeks. Rev.
| J. P. Hughes, of the Academy, was named
after his father, James Boyd Potter, and his
| pastor, Rev. S. W. Beach, is a son-in-law
| of Mrs. Nancy Orbison, of this place.
Lots oF THEM.—Among the good men in
the county who are being talked of as pos-
sibilities for commissioner’s clerk are ; Ir-
vin Morris and Henry Haupt, of Milesburg ;
Thomas Mitchell, James B. Strohm, Col.
Amos Mullen, and H. B. Pontius, of Belle-
fonte ; Joseph Barton and Jason Under-
wood, of Unionville ; James Gregg and a
Mr. Confer, of Milesburg ; G. H. Heber-
ling, of Pine Grove Mills; J. N. Spiker
and a Mr. Shaffer of Potter township ; and
a number of other worthies. All these
men are being talked about and boomed
by their respective friends. We are sorry
there are not places for them all.
For the Bellefonte post office there are a
number of fellows nibbling who will possi-
bly take the bait and get at it right, within
afew days. Among them are : Harry Brew,
Col. Geo. A. Bayard, James I. McClure, S.
H. Diehl and Al. Dale. The latter ought
to have an easy thing, as he is the orginal
Quay man about here, but it is just possi-
ble that Governor Hastings will attend to
Al. You know Al and the Governor are
not the best of friends, so it would hardly
be possible for him to let the botanist law-
yer run off with such a plum.
The Commissioners elect have a fine ar-
ray of talent to select an attorney from.
Clement Dale, Charles Hewes, W. F. Reed-
er, W. E. Gray and E. R. Chambers would
all like to have the $500 a year that is in
the office. Col. Reeder is looking for some-
thing bigger, however, a job that will take
him away from Bellefonte, so he is not se-
riously considered. Chambers and Gray
seem to be the leading men in the fight.
Then there is Orrie Atwood’s job at the
court house which Josh Foulk, Thos.
McCafferty, Isaac Dawson and Hun-
ter Knicely all think would suit them
toa T.
As a whole the applicants are a good lot
of men and if there is anything in party
service being rewarded they deserve some-
thing, everyone of them. We fear how-
ever, that it will be, as it always has been,
down and some new favorites will be
taken up.

WHAT KIND OF WORK 1s THIS ?—The
borough of Bellefonte has a stone crusher,
purchased at a cost of $779.29. It was
bought because the council did not believe
there could be good streets, when the stones
were broken by the poor people to pay their
taxes. Lveryone knows that the borough
is head over heels in debt, yet the council-
men concluded that poor streets were worse
than a poverty stricken borough, and right
wisely, too, so they purchased a stone
crusher. .
What the public would like to know
er?
When it was bought it was guaranteed
to crush 30 tons of stone per day and at
that rate every street in" town should have
been dressed off by this time, so that the
fine stone wonld have time to be ground
up and formed into a solid mass before the
snow comes, making a good road bed dur-
ing the winter. Instead of such a condi-
tion there are two patches on North Spring
street, a square on West High and a strip
along the middle of High, in front of the
Bush House, that reminds one of the black
back of a yellow donkey. Surely this
street is not to be left in such a condition.
the streets.
What is that crusher for, Messrs Council-
men? Are you saving it for an exhibit at
the next borough centennial ?

COOKE—LONG.—A very pretty wedding
ceremony was consummated at the home
of W. H. Long, at Jacksonville, on
Wednesday evening, when the second
daughter of the household, Miss Emma E.,
was married to Walter I.. Cooke, of How-
ard. The Rev. Jones, of the Presbyterian
church, officiated.
Promptly at half-past five o’clock the
couple, attended by Miss Margaret Long, a
sister of the bride, and Mr. William Mitch-
ell, entered the daintily decorated parlor
of the Long homestead and were married.
The bride was charmingly gowned in white
silk, her maid wearing organdy of the
i same color.
After the ceremony a reception was held
| and a wedding supper served. The couple
were then driven to Howard, from which
place they started on a tour east. Upon
their return they will live in Howard,
where the groom is agent for the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company, and they will go
to housekeeping in the property which Mr.
Poulsen will vacate in a short time.

PROBABLY MURDER.—Clinton county
has probably a murder on its hands and
the new sheriff, R. D. Peck, might have to
perform the unpleasant duty of hanging a
man, as a result of the shooting of 10 year
old Michael Bianco by his uncle-&eorge
Aidum. <
The shooting occurred at Bitumen, in the
upper end of the county, on Saturday
morning. A party of boys were going for-
aging for apples. Aidum, a Hungarian,
Bianco, asked if he could go along. The
request being refused the lad protested,
whereupon Aidum pointed the gun he had
in his hands at him and it went off killing
the lad instantly.
Aidum dropped his gun and fled, but he
was captured at Westport. It is not
known whether he pointed the gun at the
boy merely to frighten him or not. He is
{ now in jail, at Lock Haven, and will be
| indicted for murderin the first degree.

THE BOARD or HEALTH AND MR.
BRADT.—George Bradt is not a remarka-
ble man, in any respect, yet he has showed
himself, abundantly able to take care
of No. 1, especially when the Bellefonte
board of health gets after him with a sharp
stick for not complying with the laws that
body has laid down for the preservation of
the good health of the town.
Mr. Bradt is one of those kind of men
who would attract attention in a crowd.
He is a typical yankee in appearance and
has a wife and four children. About six
weeks ago one of the latter took diphtheria
and the board of health struck for the
Bradt home, on east Howard street, at once.
The customary yellow card was tacked on
the door and the place and its inmates
quarantined. George didn't take kindly
to the chalk marks over which the Belle-
fonte health preservers said he dare not
step. It was very depressing staying at
home when there was a great politcal cam-
paign on. In truth his spirits must have
been well nigh run down when the danger
card mysteriously disappeared from the
door and George and his dog began their
daily ambulations as of old.
The doctors hauled him up before justice
Keichline, where George delared he did not
take the card off and was discharged.
Then his tormentors appealed and the case
will be tried at the coming court.
Meanwhile the four year old baby got
well and now a ten year old girl has the
disease. George kept on going in and out,
so did the dog, until the people got scared
again and the board ordered the dog tied
up. This was done, but no one knows
what George will do. He certainly has
proven his capability of looking out for
himself.
