jumped from his horse, whigh frightened
before he could catch its head, then it
jumped into the canal and swam to the op-

covered the saddle and caught the horse.

Shearer and her daughter-in-law, Mis.
Harry Shearer. The table was beautifully
decorated with great chrysanthemums and at
each place were roses, carnations and hand |
painted cards. Tributes from the land and
sea were served and all so good that the
guests declared the dinner a veritable feast.
In last week’s issue we told of the

Port Matilda, and were out ten days. One
deer and quite a quantity of small game
rewarded their hunt. The gentleman from
Houtzdale shot the deer which was a large
buck, some say there was a pheasant roost-

Tirs WEEK'S SESSION oF CoUurT.—The
regular sitting of the quarter sessions court
for November began, Monday morning,
with Judges Love and Faulkener on the
bench. There was an unusually large at-
tendance during the week and the business
was all wound up yesterday.
The many witnesses which the grand
jury had to examine delayed the work
somewhat and the time was filled in with
the trial of several civil suits. The grand
jury finished its work Wednesday even-
ing, however, and was discharged. The
cases disposed of were taken up as follows :
Grand jurors called, and T. L. Kessing-
er, a merchant in Hublersburg, was chosen
foreman, after which Judge Love delivered
an able charge to the grand jury.

THis 15 THE KIND oF WEATHER WE
ARE 70 HAVE, SAYS MR. FOSTER.—My
last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm
| wave to cross the continent from the 22nd
| to 26th, and the next will reach the Pacific
{ coast about the 27th, cross the west of
| Rockies country by the close of the 28th,

| the west of Rockies country about the
| 30th, great central valleys Dec. 2nd,
eastern States Dec. 4th.
This disturbance comes in the high tem-
| perature storm period, and warm weather
{ will precede the storm centre, and these
high temperatures will continue through-
out most of the first week in December.
i with this last disturbance of November
and, for the time of year, the weather will
be fined and pleasant.
Temperature of the week ending Nov.
29th will average about the normal, the
first part of the week being colder than the
last part. This will be the drovght week
of the month—22nd to 29th, inclusive—
and very little rain or snow may be ex-
| pected.

heavy snows and rains, came almost exactly
on time.

fine field goal from the 35 yd. line. State’s
admirers have not lost faith in her by long
odds. Next season she will appear on the
grid-iron with all the benefit of this year’s
experience and having lost only three men
by graduation there is every reason to be-
lieve that she will take her former position
of leader in the class in which she is rated.

——An important production in the
melodramatic line is that of ‘“‘the road to
wealth”, a play from the pen of Mr. Wn.
Talbot Burke. The principal feature
| of the performance is the introduction of
the bicycle. One entire act is devoted to
the wheel, one showing the I.. A. W. meet
at Asbury Park and another giving, by the
aid of a mechanical device, a race in which
Mr. Joe Harrison, the Asbury Park wheel-
man,— champion bicycle rider class ‘“A”’ |
96, has been specially engaged to ride in.
Mr. Harrison is one of the most popular
riders of the day, his capture of the
championship Class A—-at Manhattan Beach,
last summer, was one of the best exhibi-
tions of riding ever given on the Man-
hattan course. It is said to bea thrilling
scene combined with others of a startling
nature goes far towards making up a rare
evening’s entertainment. “The road to
wealth’’ comes to Garman’s next Tuesday
night, Dec. 1st.

THE SILVER WEDDING.—On Monday
evening, the 23rd inst. Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
mer L. Malin celebrated the twenty-fifth
anniversary of their marriage. From eight
until twelve o'clock their pleasant home,
on Howard street, was aglow with light
and gayety and the affair was a most en-
joyable one, without any of the stiffness
and formality which usually gloom society
events.
The wide porches were enclosed with
canvas and the house was beautified by
many flowers. Great bunches of chrysan-
themums, roses, and carnations decorated
the tables and mantles and in the reception
room a drapery of smilax, over a corner of
palms and fern, made an artistic back
ground for the receiving party. Mr. and
Mrs. Malin were assisted in receiving their
guests by Governor and Mrs. Hastings,
who have always been their close personal
as well as political friends. Most of the
prominent people of the town were present
and among those from a distance were Mrs.
Samuel O. Malin, of Radford, Va.; Mr.
and Mrs. R.M. Bailey, of Williamsport ;
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Mitchell, of Tyrone;
and Wilbur Harris.
The original wedding was celebrated at
Gen. Beaver’s, he was Mrs. Malin’s,
Elizabeth Miles, guardian and at that time
occupied Gov. Curtin’s house on High
street. Dr. W.T. Wylie, then pastor of
the Presbyterian church of this place, but
now of Sparta, Ill., performed the cere-
mony and his benediction must have been
as prophecy for their married life has heen
fraught with harmony and happiness. Not
a sorrow has troubled their home while
their three children are blessings indeed.
Auspicious as the first wedding was it
could not have heen more delightful than
the anniversary. The Undine orchestra
was present and played its best ; Dr. Laurie
made a happy little speech ; an excellent
supper was served ‘‘and bright the lights
shone o’er fair women and brave men,”
might well have been written for the occa-
sion. The gifts in silver were so many
and beautiful that Mr. Malin no longer de-
spises the white metal. Mrs. Beaver’s bon
bon dish was one of the most highly appre-
ciated. Gov. Hastings and Gen. MecCor-
mick, of Williamsport, sent a case contain-
ing a dozen of forks, a dozen table and a
dozen tea-spoons. Mr. Malin gave his bride
of twenty-five years a diam ond pin, and of
cut glass, china, etchings and furniture
there was a goodly array.

THE UNDINE'S DANCE.—The fifth an-
nual ball of theUndine fire company at-
tracted quite a large crowd to the Arcade,
Wednesday evening, and those who were
there carried away the memory of a very
delightful dance. To the music of the Un-
dine orchestra fourteen couples opened the
dance with a march. Joseph McMahon
and his sister, Miss Celia, having led in
the many intricate evolutions executed by
the gallant men and pretty girls.
The dance was successfully managed by
Messrs. Flack, Smith, Hoffman, Beck and
Lose, the company’s committee, and the
pleasure of everyone was so carefully ca-
tered to that all had a good time.
These select dances of the Undine’s seem
to strike a popular chord for they are al-
ways well patronized by the young people
who feel sure of being nicely entertained.
Just before the dance the band and com-
pany made a short street parade.

News Purely Personal.
dn,
—Ralph F. Martin, of Rochester, N. Y., enjoyed
his Thanksgiving with Bellefonte friends.
—Samuel J. Gettig Esq., went to Harrisburg,
Tuesday morning, on important legal business.
He returned Tuesday evening.
—Will Hoy, of State College, came to town on
Monday morning looking as if he was going to
mete out justlee for everyone.
—Abe Weber, J. L. DeHaas and Hayes Schenck,
were a trio of Howard's all-around good fellows
who were in town, on Wednesday afternoon.
—County superintendent of schools, C. L.. Gram-
ley, spent Wednesday in town making the pre-
liminary arrangements for the meeting of the
teacher's institute.
—Edward Quigley was in town last week after
an absence of nearly two years. He has left the
employ of the Buffalo Forge company to ac-
cept a position in Philadelphia.
—Judge ahd Mrs. Cyrus Gordon, Miss Me-
Collough and Rachel Weaver, who are coming
over from Clearfield to attend the College Assem-
bly, will spend Sunday with Mrs. Bush.
—Eddie Hill has gone to Philadelphia where he
expects to hecome a student on the school ship
Saratoga. So far as the complexion is concerned
Eddie can discount most of the tars on the water.
—Miles Osmer, who is a well known young man
about Bellefonte and had been in the employ of
S. H. Williams, house decorator, has gone to
Lincoln, Neb., where he expects to join a brother
in the restai@®ant business, !
—We noticed I. (i. Walker, of Stormstown, on
our streets on Wednesday. He is a gentleman
who looks on the bright side of most everything
and it is well that he does, for the recent burning
of his big farm barn, with all of its contents, was
enough to discourage most any one.
—Miss Sophia 8. Rockey, of Hubler shurg, was a
very welcome visitor on Tuesday. She devotes
some of her time to making the Walker township
women look stunning in the smart gowns she
turnsout and was in town getting a few ideas as
to the fashionable combinations for women's wear
this winter.
—Supt. W. C. Patterson, of the Pennsylvania
State College experimental farms, was in Belle-
fonte, on Wednesday, getting ready for Thanks-
giving. Ie is one man at least, who has plenty of
the things to be thankful for and we know of none
who reverence the source whence all good things
come more than Mr. Patterson.
—P. 8. Meyer Esq., of Boalsburg, spent Tues-
day in town looking bright and cheery as if noth-
ing had happened. You know Mr. Meyer ran for
Commissioner at the recent election, but he
wasn't the only good man who went down. It is
to his credit that he takes defeat so gracefully.
—Nicholas Redding came up from his iome in
Gettysburg last week and ix spending a few days
here looking after some property he owns in the
vicinity of the glassworks. He and his seven sons
ave all farming near Gettysburg. Everyone of
the seven has a farm. Nicholas is looking just
as he did when he left here years ago.
—Mur. J. Toner Lucas, of Moshannon, has been
in town most of the week attending to some busi-
ness and making his friends happy by little calls
when his time is not otherwise occupied. Mr.
Lucas was an aspirant for county treasurer in
1893, but the fact that he didn’t get the nomina-
tion made him none the less the gool Democrat
he was prior to that time.
—Professor George C. Butz, of the department
of Horticulture at the Pennsylvania State College,
and Mrs. Butz, spent Wednesday after noon in
town. Prof. Butz is very much absorbed in the
proper organization of the new borough regime for
State College and improves every opportunity to
post himself as to how things are done in a well
regulated horough.
—Fred Bottorf was in town again, on Tuesday
and Wednesday, busying himself about that pet
railroad scheme for Pine Grove. By the latter
part of next week the road will be completed into
Pine Grove town then all the promoters up that
way willbe ont ofa job. They deserve much
credit, however, for sticking to the project until
they pushed it through.
—Auditor-elect Gi. G. Fink spent Wednesday in
Bellefonte telling about the fat hogs he had kill-
ed the day before. Two of his porkers dressed
nearly 800 Ibs. and he rendered 227 Ibs. of lard
from their fat. Mr. Fink didn’t come to town ex-
pressly to tell the people about his hogs, but
when other fellows began to blow he concluded
that he wasn't going to take a back seat when he
had the facts and figures to bear him out.
—Major R. H. Foster, of Harrisburg, came to
Bellefonte, on Tuesday, to appear as a witness in
the Cross vacant land suit. He is so well known
here that his leisure moments were taken up
greeting the many friends ‘who remember him
when he was a resident of the town and was one of
editors of the Democrat. He is looking remark-
ably well, for a man who has been as near death's
door as he was a year ago.
-=M. D. Snyder, of State C‘ollege, was in town,
on Tuesday, on business relating to the contem-
plated change in some of the old business places
at State College. A few years ago he was doing a
remarkable business in the general merchandise
iine, but impaired health .nd other causes com-
pelled him to give up his store and go back to
his trade of carpentering, which is less confining.
The Krumrine brothers bought the place and
have been running it ever since. Now they in-
tend moving into W. L. Foster's new block, leav-
ing the Snyder stand vacant. This condition will
not last long, for it will only be a matter of a short
time, until some one gets it, for itis certainly
about the most desirable location for any kind of
business at the State College.
—S. Cameron. Burnside, Esq., and Robert J.
Moore, both of Philadelphia, were guests at the
Bush House over Sunday. The gentlemen were
on their way home from a ten days outing at the
Spruce run game preserve and a fine deer was
shipped to the city,on Saturday, the result of their
hunt. It is stated that Mr. Burnside hit the deer
first and that one of his compdnions finished it
up. The Sunday was very quietly spent here
among Mr. Burnside’s friends and politics was
even tabooed in the talk. In view of the fact that
Mr. Moore is acknowledged leader of the Combine
in the 4th Ward and that Mr. Burnside wields a
potent influence in Centre county, as well as in
Philadelphia, it was quite a trial for both to keep
quiet on the subject.

THEY ARE FINE.—The Utica. N. Y.,
Press has the following to say of the Cana-
dian jubilee singers who will appear in the
Methodist church, here, next Wednesday
and Thursday evenings, Dec. 2ud and 3rd.
The old plantation songs will never lose
‘| their attraction for lovers of pure and simple
melody, and when sung by such a company
as the Canadian jubilee singers, who appeared
at the First M. E. church last evening, they
are heard in their full power and pathos.
The company consists of eleven members
and was formed about sixteen years ago.
They have traveled extensively, having
spent five years in Europe. The programme
last evening was a varied one, and every
number was loudly applauded, while many
were encored. The soprano solo by Miss
Stewart was especially fine, and when as an
encore she sang ‘Old Folks at Home,” there
was the most intense quiet in the room. The
bass solo, “A Jolly Good Laugh,” exhibited
the full, rich bass of J. A. Cockbin and con-
vulsed all with laughter. The selection by
the ma’ reette is deserving of mention,
as is the bass solo by J. E. Lightfoot. The
entertainment asa whole was an excellent
one.

FELL AND BROKE His Lec.—About
dark, last Friday evening, Ed Kerlin, a
son of A. S. Kerlin Esq,, of Centre Hall,
was walking along the main street in the
town of Lemont. He had just reached
Lenker’s store in front of which, and right
along the walk, a deep ditch had been ex-
cavated, when he tripped and fell into the
ditch, breaking his left leg just above the
knee.
The unfortunate young man’s calls for
help soon brought” friends to his side and
he was taken, on a hand car, to his home,
in Centre Hall, where Dr. Alexander set
the broken bone.
Mr. Kerlin had been engaged as a pub-
lic school teacher at Lemont.

THE LAST WOODEN TRESTLE GOING.—
The only wooden trestle on the line of the
Central railroad of Pennsylvania is at the
juction of that road and the Nittany valley
R. R., about three miles east of Bellefonte.
There a 500 ft. wooden structure carries
the Central trains over a ravine and the
public road to Zion. Xs the life of a hem-
lock trestle is only four years, the company
has taken time by the fore-lock and is fill-
ing up with ballast secured from Morris’
pike quarries. .
Before the wooden structure has lived its
allotted railroad life the viaduct will all he
filled in, except the iron span that crosses
the public road, and the end of the long
bridge will be at hand.

gery and he was overhauled at the
station waiting on a train on which to skip.
