THE BALLOT BOXES WILL BE OPENED. —On Thursday morning judge Love gave his final sanction to the shrievalty contest by ordering that all the ballot boxes al- ready impounded should be opened and the vote for sheriff recounted. The order was granted on a petition by the contestants that claimed that inasmuch as both sides had already stated, in their bills of particulars, that there had been illegality it was mete that the boxes should be opened. It will be observed that there has not been a single proof presented, nor the slightest tangible evidence that any irregularity was committed, yet the court has ruled that the ballot boxes shall be pried into even though confronted with the affidavits of nearly all of the election boards in which they solemnly swear that there was nothing illegal in their precincts. Monday, February 8th, has been set as the day on which the proceedings are to be begun. C. P. Hewes Esq., has been ap- pointed examiner and Robert F. Hunter and H. C. Brew clerks. The examiner is required to produce the ballot boxes im- pounded and open the same ‘‘in the pres- ence of the court or a judge thereof’’ and count the votes for sheriff and make a re port as to the result of eaid count. There will be about nine thousand bal- lots to count. This done the contest will be fairly on, for then the taking of testi- mony and argument will be begun. THE UNDINE BENEFIT SCORED A HIT. —As was anticipated the Undine band con- cert, on Tuesday evening, proved a very pleasing entertainment to a well filled house. The musical numbers being espec- ially well rendered and the farcical ending of such a character as to send the people home with the pleasantest memories of the event. Two visiting organizations contributed to the success of the program. The Am- phion banjo club, of Tyrone, composed of Harry Willhelm, leader ; William Sharp, Bud Gray, Washington Stouders, Dr. Jas. A. Witter, John Morningred, Charles Vogt, Albert Vogt, John Sharp, Roy Gillam, Ned Parks and Van Wilson, became favor- ites with the audience from the rendition of their first number. They were encored for every selection and seemed to have played their way into favor with every in- storms of applause their playing called forth. The saxophone quartette of the Repasz hand, Williamsport, comprising Messrs. Ar- den H. Fleming, rank P. Maris, Norman Wood and Charles Haines, lent a novelty and pleasure that was appreciated. Never in its history has the Undine band played better than it did that night. Though small it executed diflicult overtures in a faultless manner and the audience fairly went into ecstacies when ‘‘Joy to the World”? was played with such effect as to impress all that it was a regular concert or- ganization playing and not our own Un- dines. variety and charin to the program and were manifestly appreciated. both of which the Undine men did them- selves proud by their inimitable antics and ridiculous costumes. Both were furiously funny and served the purpose for scenes tomanager W. P. Flack and his assistants : Messrs. F. C. Walz, Scott Lose and Denj. Hoffman. 2 os THE KARTHAUSE COAL FIELDS ARE Nor EXHAUSTED.—Last week we pub- lished a short notice to the effect that the coal fields at Karthause having been ex- hausted the operators were moving their machinery away from that place. The in- formation had been gleaned from another paper and we had no reason to doubt its reliability until informed by a thoroughly responsible gentleman, from Karthause, that there is no truth in it. : Only one colliery has heen closed and that one because satisfactory terms could not he made to re-lease the mine. Several of the other collieries are working right along and it is claimed, by those who are in a position to know, that a very superior grade of coal is being mined.

H. Cota in this place, who were interested in his wedding, at New Haven, Conn., on Wednesday, will be pained to think that death changed what would have been a glad nuptial day for him to one of deep sadness. The following clipping from one of the New Haven papers will explain itself : The marriage ceremony of Miss Annie LL. Stone to Frederick H. Cota, which was an- nounced to be held in Grace M. E. church, Wednesday afternoon, January 27, at 5 o'clock, will be held at the. residence of Mr. Joseph Stone instead, owing to death in the immediate family of Mr. Cota. Only rela- tives of the party will be present. The wedding and the funeral of Mr. Co- ta’s favorite niece took place on the same day. —ebe- A LARGE GLASS ORDER.—The DBelle- fonte co-operative glass company has just received an order from a New York State i firm which calls for the delivery of eleven | hundred boxes, as soon as possible. The capacity of the factory is three hun- dred and fifty boxes per week when every- thing runs well, so you see this order will keep the work going at least a month, not counting other orders already filed and those that might come in. be — ——Christian scientist workers are re- earlier so that it was little wonder that their shovels scraped over the brick almost as fast as lightning goes througha moun- tain huckleberry bush. They were keep- ing warm and that was a job in itself. eh ——The retirement of I. V. Gray Esq., from the mercantile business in Philips- burg is a misfortune for that town. Hav- ing been one of its oldest and most exten- sive merchants he had built up a store sys- tem that was far in advance of those ordi- narily found in country towns. His suc- cess seemed assured until several years ago when the general business depression, that affected that region so seriously, bore him down. Recognizing the fidelity of Mr. Gray and the advantage of the business he | had given to Philipsburg his creditors read- ily granted him an extension but the con- | tinuance of hard times has made it of no | avail to him. Last week he conveyed the store to O. Perry Jones Isq., and is no longer connected with it. The misfor- tune of Mr. Gray is simply the story that thousands of other concerns have had to tell during the past six years. The times are no better and nothing that can be done will make them better that does have the expansion of the currency asa | part of the plan. Itis rumored that W. | C. Andrews, the opera house merchant of | Philipsburg, has | not | ported to be making many converts in Nit- | tany valley. rented the Gray store | . . | rooms and will move into them about | : | | April 1st. AA ee THE SAD CASE OF BERNARD JENNINGS. { —Some weeks ago we published an ac- count of the dangerous trouble that was gradually causing the decline of Bernard Jennings and, at the time, intimated that unless relief was soon found this death would be a matter of how long it would take starvation toreduce a strong constitu- tion. The worst fears have been realized. He is dead. After having spent the most of last sum- mer at his home, in Coleville, this place, under treatment of local physicians for stricture of the throat, he entered Mercy hospital, in Pittsburg, on September 3rd. By that time there had been such a growth developed in the opening into his stomach that it was almost impossible for him to swallow. Upon consultation of the physi- cians it was decided to make an opening below the obstacle so that he could take nourishment through a tube. This was done shortly after his admission to the hos- pital and for weeks he was kept alive by being fed through a silver tube. The growth continued, however, and a second opening had to be made, lower down. Af- ter this operation he hung between life and death for a long time, but finally rallied enough to give hopes of his recovery. Un- fortunately the growth in the opening of the stomach continued and again the pas- sage was choked up. Then it became nec- essary todmake another, a third one, and this time the physicians tried it from the back of the patient, but without success. ‘He was operated on, on Friday morning, and died that evening. His brother Tom was a faithful attendant during most of his suffering and was. with him when he died. The body was brought here, on Sat- urday morning, and interred, on Tuesday morning, from St. John’s Catholic church. Bernard Jennings grew up from boyhood in this place. He was 33 years old and was the eldest son of William and Catha- rine Jennings, both of whom survive with one sister, Mrs. James Conroy, and brother Thomas. Berny was a glass blower, hav- ing learned his trade at the Bellefonte fac- tory, and was a genial soul who had many friends about the town. All are genuinely sorry to learn of his death. es ee ANOTHER FIRE ALARM FRIGHTENS BELLEFONTE. — It was about 3 o'clock Wednesday morning when the dismal sound of the fire alarm wakened the sleep- ing population of Bellefonte and started a few of the firemen on a search for the cause of it. The alarm was for the South ward, the third one from that section in as many months, and had been sent in from Bush's Arcade, on High street, where there was a slight fire in the rear of Powers’ shoe store. Emanuel Brown occupies apartments above the store and the smoke awakened him. On going to search for it he dis- covered where its cause was located and The thermometer gave an alarm at once. few people were out. The firemen were there Powers arrived, but had not forced an en- trance to the store. He opened it and put before the fire was back in the repair department, but was so small that one bucket full of water quenched it. A liole about two feet square was burned in the floor and the place will smell of sinoke for a few days as a consequence. It is supposed that a lighted cigar stump, thrown into the spit box thut was filled with saw-dust, smoldered away until it set the box afire and then the flames burned through the floor. The discovery was a most fortunate one, for had it gotten more headway the Arcade might have had anoth- er struggle with fire. The attention of the Water department should be called to a dereliction of duty in not having made an examination of the fire plugs during the cold weather. As might have been expected one was frozen up when the firemen went to connect with it and had there been a dangerous fire its loss would have been seriously felt. There should be some one detailed to examine every plug in town, at least once a day, during this cold weather. Four CHILDREN BURNED AT CURWENS- VILLE.—Curwensville had a frightful hol- ocaust, on Tuesday night, when a small frame dwelling houSe occupied by two col- ored families caught fire and four of the children. were cremated. Though the fire broke out at 6 o’clock in the evening, and there were many persons about it was impossible to recover the children. Their bodies were all found to- gether and, while badly burned, they were not unrecognizable. They were the chil- dren of John Webb. ae WILL HAVE NO BEARING ON THE CON- TEsT.—The fact that after the eclection board of the east precinct of Miles town- ship had counted off, last November, the ballots were taken out and burned will have no bearing on the present shrievalty contest. That precinct is one of the six in the county in which no irregularity is re- reported and consequently the fact that the “ballots have been reduced to ashes will have no effect in the contest. ode CHURCH NOTICE.—The holy communion will be administered in St. John’s Re- formed church, Bellefonte, Pa., on Sunday morning, Jan., 30th, at 10:30. On Satur- day afternoon, at 2 o'clock, preparatory services will be held. Parents who have children to he baptized will please bring them to the church on Saturday afternoon. . R.

The explosives had been placed in front of a fire to thaw out, they became too hot and went off, with the frightful results mentioned. abe Bobby, the three year old son of John Wilson, of Ridge street, died with croup, on Wednesday evening, at 6 o'clock, and will be buried this afternoon at 2:30. The death of the little fellow has a sadness about it that will appeal to those who know of the sad life he led. > ay ——On last Frid C. 0. Mallory, of Rebersburg, superintendent of the Kream- ersville creamery, met with af accident that came very near costing him his life. His clothing was caught in a revolving shaft and he was drawn into it as quick as a flash, but with rare presence of mind he braced his hands and feet against the wall and saved himself from being hurled about the shaft. The strain was so great that the clothing was all torn from his body. Aside from having his one arm slightly bruised he escaped without injury, >> —— MARRIED AND WILL GO TO AFRICA. -—Several weeks ago Miss Minnie D. May, of Altoona, was in this place visiting her sister whois Mrs. C. C. Miller. While here she addressed a meeting at the U. B. church in the interest of foreign missions. The young lady was married to Rev. James A. Francis, in the Riverside Baptist church, New York city, on Wednesday of last week. Her husband has been a missionary in Africa for five years and the bride and groom will sail for Freetown, on the dark continent, to-day. *o> I. THAT GAME Pureserve.—The story | that is coing the round of city and local | papers to the effect that the MeMullen property, at Hecla, has been bought by a syndicate of sportsmen for the purpose of | making it the center of a game preserve, is altogether without warrant. As yet no | such syndicate has been formed, neither | has the property been purchased nor an op- “tion asked on it. In this story there has been news mak- ers at work, indeed, for the ingenuity of | the writer has been responsible for most | of it. | —_— —~ oe LocAL TEACHER'S INSTITUTE AT HOow- ARD To-pDAY.—The public school teachers of the 4th district of Centre county will meet, for their local institute, in the Methodist church, at Howard, this evening and continue in session during the morrow.

While here he found time to spend a few moments in the Warcn- MAN office ; moments that were very enjoyable to the edito since they were freighted with silver. —Cap’t John A Hunter, of Stormstown, was in town, on Wednescay, from-the morning until the evening train. He was here on business, but he is still so firmly convicted with the belief that we must have more money before we can expect better times that he found a few moments to dis- cuss his theories with his friends. The Captain is one of the old line Democrats in the county, a conservative man, whose opinion is worth some- thing, since he is mature in his thoughts and a close student of parties and policies. « —On Tuesday morning, before Bellefonte had really thawed out from Monday's freeze, young Mr. Thomas, a son of John Thomas Esq., was in town looking as bright and healthy as if such weather were positively needful to his comfort. His home is just a mile on this side of Snow Shoe and they know what cold weather is up there, so that Mr. Thomas was actually enjoying “the weather that was making most of the other peo- ple on the streets slink into their great overcoats until they looked like headless dummies moving about.

The chattering teeth, blue noses, frosty beards and creaking boards told the story of the winter's cold- est night, without referring to the numbed feeling of the fellows who had to be about early. Sunday was a cold, blustery day. A biting, frosty gale blew steadily from the west and when night came it settled down to making ice about as fast as it is possible to do it. According to the returns sent to this of- fice thermometers registered all the way from 0° to 14° below zero. The lowest record was made at Beecher’s lumber camp, on Benner’s run, in the Alleghenies, at 6 o'clock, All of the other records were taken about 7 o’clock in the morning.

Cool wave will cross the west of Rockies coun- try about the 27th, great central valleys 20th, eastern States 31st. This will prob- ably be a severe cool wave and may be a day or two ahead of the dates here given. This disturbance will occur in the high temperature storm period and severe storms may be expected. The notable high tem- perature will precede this disturbance and the no less notable great fall in tempera- ture, with heavy rains, snows, blizzards and others will follow. This disturbance will be quite similar to that which occurred during the first week of the month. Temperature of the week ending Janu- ary 22nd will average about or above nor- mal and rainfall will be below normal. My next bulletin will contain a general forecast for February weather.” ———— ee THE CLEARFIELD COUNTY POOR FARM. —According to the report of the steward the county poor house, in Clearfield county, has been quite a popular resort since its opening a year or so ago.
