The Presbyterians intend building a par- sonage for their minister, Rev. Christine. They have already commenced the erection of a stable. Wm. Rearick, of near Spring Mills, is seriously ill. His complaint seems to be cancer of the stomach. Mr. Rearick is the father of our townsmarr W. O. Rearick. Dr. J. F. Alexander, who hasthe reputa- tion of keeping the best driving horses in the community, has added another to the list, the horse ‘‘Pilot,;’ had a good record on the track at Lewisburg. Rev. Christine, pastor of the Presbyterian church, as well as Rev. Eisenburg, of the Reformed church, held a series of meetings in their respective churches last week, which were largely attended. Almost the full Democratic vote was cast in Potter township, and the entire Demo- cratic ticket was elected, with the exception of John J. Arney, who was defeated by George Sweeney. Miss Catharine Decker died Saturday morn- ing of last week very suddenly of heart com- plications. She was aged near sixty years. The deceased had her home with her brother, Mr. Michael Decker, who lives about three miles east of town. The population of the town is rapidly in- creasing, many new families are moving in. Four new houses have been erected quite re- cently and there 1s more to follow. Many houses intended for one family are now crowded with two or three. Daniel P. Houser, of near this place, re- | turned from Philadelphia Saturday after- noon, whither he had gone to have an opera- tion performed on his eye, mention of which was made in these columns two weeks ago. The treatment at the hospital proved a suc- cess, and Mr, Houser feels that he will have the continued use of one of his eyes. The borough election passed off very quiet- ly, everything moving along in good order. B. D. Brisbin. was elected mayor, over John Krumbine, Democrat, C. F. Denninger, Re- publican made a chase for councilman, sece- ond term and won. The balance of the Democratic ticket was elected. In order to set the Democratic voters right in the eyes of the county Democracy, let me | | | | | | | say that the Democrats defeated on Tuesday | were not turned down because they were | Democrats, but there was an issue. A ma- jority of the tax-payers of the borough do and have been for years wanting the borough to purchase the water company’s plant but have been unable to do so. Recently the Bi- ble estate gave the town authorities an option for their water, which, by the way, would furnish the town with a sufficient quantity of water at all times and for all purposes, and the Republicans that were elected favored that scheme. The Democrats in the borough of Centre Hall are always loyal when it isa matter of party, but sometimes it happens that their best interests will not be served unless the ticket is cut when it comes to vot- ing for borough officers. We make this ex- planation because repeated effortsare made to make it appear that our Democrats are dis- loyal to their party when they only wish to throw off the yoke of a corporation that is taxing citizens past endurance. The Centre Hall Democrat will stand by his gun when the occasion demands it. Pine Grove Mention. Walter Weaver carries the mail from the station to the postoffice. Squire J. M. Keichline, of Bellefonte, spent Sunday with his mother, on Main street. Mahlon Beck and his mother, of Loveville, were the guests of W. D. Port on Saturday. Daniel M. Stover, one of our most respect- ed citizens, is very ill at his home near Pine Hall. Miss Sallie Barr, the well known teacher, was in town the fore-part of the week visiting Postmaster Miller's. Miss Lavina Gates, of Fairbrook, is spend- ing the winter with her sister Mrs. J. L. Rumbarger, on Main street. James Aikens and his sister Miss Theresa, | one of Milroy’s most attractive young ladies, are visiting at the parsonage. Last Saturday Drs. Dale and Houser held a consultation over Mrs. A. M. Brown, who has been seriously ill for three months. There is little hope of her recovery. On the 22nd an excursion will be run to Bellefonte and return for 25 cents the round trip. Don't forget it or the turkey dinner which will be given in the G. A. R. rooms that day. Last Saturday evening the Lutheran par- sonage was illuminated throughout and Mas- ter Claud Aikens entertained his little asso- ciates with a birthday party. He was five | years old.

As soon as he is able to travel he will go toa Philadelphia hospital and have an operation performed. Tuesday’s election was unusually quiet. The Republican vote was well out, while forty-one Democrats stayed at home causing our side to lose a school director, road super- visor and township clerk, all excellent men and all deserving the full support of their party. The register shows 243 votes, 190 votes were cast with 41 Democrats and 12 Republicans absent, hence the result. Rev. Heppler ably filled the Presbyterian pulpit last Sunday afternoon and roused his congregation by the plain tally he gave them about Ananias and kindred sins. He plain- ly denounced the selfishness of modern Christians and rated covetousness and lying as twin brothers, He asserted that true Christians did not stop giving with the tenth and that if they would be blessed they must make sacrifices. Since last November, J. F. McCormick has been up in the northwestern tier of counties helping along the farmer’s institutes, which the Department of Agriculture is working diligently. He has charge of the Chautauqua department which originated at the Ex- periment station, but in his zeal and energy he tuckered out and had to come home to headquarters for repairs. He is suffering with a slight attack of pneumonia, but under Dr. Glenn’s care expects to go back to his work in a few weeks. Since tha~railroad has been completed our Stone valley neightors have caught the fever and are anxious to have their ore hills ex- cavated. Along the south base of the third mountain prospectors have found large quantities of fossil ore, which is traceable for 7 or 8 miles west. At the railroad meetings held recently at McAlevey’s Fort eight thou- sand dollars have been subscribed and the right of way to Huntingdon. It isnot proba- ble that the road will cross the mountains here as the natural course seems by the way of Spruce creek. A. A. Miller, S. S. Gricb, Andy Lytle, J. J. Houser, Frank Weaver, J. C. Aikens and C. H. Evey, a jolly, well kept set of fellows of State College, visited the Penns valley lodge last Saturday evening to advocate the organization of an encampment lodge at State College. A special meeting was held on the 17th, at that place, to see if such an organization could be effected with Storms- town, Penns valley, Boalsburg, and Lemont. The charter, and out-fit will cost in the neighborhood of $350 and there is no doubt but a good encampment can be instituted. ANoTHER WEDDING.—James R. Johnson and Miss Nannie B. Lytle were married at the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Lytle, near State College, on the evening of the 3rd, by the Rev. Dennison, of the Presbyterian church. Only the imme- diate friends were present and after the ceremony a delightful wedding supper was served. The next day the happy pair re tened to Bellefonte where the groom is well “mown. He is one of Coleville’s well to-do young men and is deserving of the nice girl he got. Curis DoiNgs.—E. Wagner Herr was very much in carnest when, on the 4th, he and Miss Blanche Felty presented themselves at Rev. Lescher’s at Boalsburg, to he made man and wife. As they had the required permission the ceremony was soon performed and tha young people hied themselves off with the good wishes of their friends. The groom is the third son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael! Herr, he is an industrious young man, capable of doing much good in the world. His bride a handsome young woman | is the second daughter of Adam Felty and a fine musician, having been organist of the Boalsburg Lutheran church for some years. DEATH OF MR. KRUMRINE. — John W. Krumrine died ff His State College home, last Sunday at noon, jof catarrh of the stomach after many weeks of\suffering. After a life of usefulness and peffect harmony with his fellowmen he has entered into rest which awaiteth for the blest. He was born near Millheim, Oct. 3rd, 1823. Sixty years ago his father «Frederick Krumrine, located and bought the farm where Benj. C. Bloom now lives. Here the deceased spent his entire life "til ill health caused him to give up active work. He was one of the officers of the Pine Hall Reformed church, of which he was a consistent member. Politically ho was a Democrat and always served his party well and faithfully. In close touch with his neighbors always, he was past master of Washington grange and interested in its doings. On the 18th of April 1850, he was married to Rosetta Musser, of Millheim, who with their children is left to mourn the loss of a kind indulgent man. The children are Frederick, of near State College ; Mrs. D. H. Fye, of Tyrone; Mrs. Benj. Roup, of Spruce Creek ; Mrs. J. B. Mason, of Mec- Keesport and Elsie at home. A brother, Adam, of Tusseyville. and a sister, Mrs. Peter Louck, of Pine Hall also survive. He was buried from his late residence, Wednesday noon, in the Pine Hall cemetery with his pastor and friend, Rev. Black, officiating. * 42-5-3t Spring Mills. A bill of $73.00 for sheep killed and in- jured by dogs last weck, is now on file at Squire Grenoble’s office. Howard Rossman, the efficient clerk of C. P. Long, was on the sick list for a day or two this week, but is out again and able to attend to his duties. Orris Beatty, a very popular young man of our village, has retired from the service of the P. R.R. and entered into the picture business. T. C. Kenly onc of our active and energetic citizens visited Washington last week on spe- cial business. Mr. K. reports having had a very satisfactory visit. Commercial agents have been travelling through our valley quite lively of late. Alf report business rather quiet and light. Spring orders are backward. The ladies connected with the M. E. church of our village will hold a chicken and waffle supper, on Saturday evening next in the town hall. All are invited. Sleighing in this valley is about over, and probably for the winter. According to the ground hog idea, very cold weather is now postponed ’til next year. Major Huss, the well known shoemaker of our. village, visited Bellefonte last week on business, and was so unfortunate as to lose his watch and several talents of silver. Election here was unusually quiet, con- siderable cutting and slashing was indulged in by the voters of both parties. The con- test resulted in the election of the entire Democratic ticket. The new building erected by Frank Rear- ick, for printing purposes and conducting the bicycle business is almost completed. This week Mr. R. has been receiving considerable stock, printing materials, press- es, ete. Applicants for the postmastership of our village are very quiet at present, and sailing close to the shore. The number has dwin- dled down wonderfully of late. Early in the season the number exceeded the fingers on both hands, now they can be counted on one, and all the fingers are not necessary. Dwellings are very scarce in our village. A dozen or twenty vacant houses would be gobbled up at short notice, if we had them. Of course a number of families will be obliged to “double up” like they did last year. To be sure this is far better than ne shelter, as unpleasant and inconvenient as it may be. Plans for a New Capitol. HARRISBURG, Feb. 15.—Governor Hast- ings to-day signed the joint resolution authorizing him to solicit plans for the pro- posed new capitol building. He will at once arrange to facilitate the work of build- ing by getting plans. Next Monday night on the reassembling of the legislature the governor will send in a communication on the condition of the revenues of the com- monwealth and his views on the matter. of raising money for the building of a new capitol. Captain Delaney, the superintend- ent of public buildings and grounds, is hustling with a large force of workmen to get Grace Methodist church in shape for the reassembling of the legislature. New desks were placed in position to-day. Ten Years’ Imprisonment for Hoffer. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.—John. H. Hof- fer, former cashier of the first National bank of Lebanon, Pa., who was charged with embezzling $109,000 of the bank’s funds, was arraigned in the United States court this afternoon before Judge Butler. After a consultation with his attorneys, the accused pleaded guilty and was sen- tenced to ten years’ imprisonment in the Eastern penitentiary and ordered to pay a fine of $1,000. Hoffer was indicted to-day by the grand jury. New Advertisments. UDITOR’S NOTICE.—In the Orphans Court of Centre county. In real estate of John A.
