CoUNCIL IN SESSION.—The regular
meeting of council was held in the cham-
ber, on Howard street, on Monday evening,
Harry Keller Esq., presiding in the ab-
sence of president Brockerhoff.
Under the reports of committees and of-
ficers the following were made :
The Street committee reported the force
at work keeping the gutters open and pave-
ments clean. :
The Water committee reported the repair
of pipes on Bishop and High streets, the
pumps running four nights a week and
everything in good shape.
The Fire and Police committee reported
the buying of a new stove for the Undine
engine house and took opportunity to com-
mend the promptness with which the de-
partment has responded to recent fire calls.
As secretary of the Board of Health
Henry C. Quigley reported that $98.25 of the
’96 appropriation had been expended and
asked that $100 be appropriated for 1897.
Dr. Geo. F. Harris’ term as a member of
the Board having expired he was re-elected.
Burgess W. E. Gray was present and
asked the advice of council on the ques-
tion of granting a transient selling license
to some traveling clothing dealers who have
located, for an indefinite stay, in a room
next door to this office. They had tender-
ed him $20 license which he refused and
asked council what to do in the matter,
there being no well defined ordinance to
guide him. Council left the matter in his
hands.
The News is of the opinion that such
hawkers of merchandise ought not to be
allowed to open up in the town, but does
not explain why it thinks so other than to
say that our home merchants, who pay
high taxes and high rents, should be pro-
tected. The WATCHMAN is of the opinion
that our home merthants will resent the
imputation that they cannot compete
with any traveling sellers in a market
where they have the advantage of the
confidence of buyers. The high rents and
high taxes do not enter into it at all. These
hawkers have to pay higher rent for a short
stay than a man who occupied the same
room for a year would have to pay and the
idea of the license is to make him pay a tax
in that way. What protection have you,
dear News, from any of the city job print-
ing establishments that send men here,
monthly, to gobble up 50 per cent of the
printing of Bellefonte 2 You haven’ even a
burgess’ license or a store room rent to get
out of them, nothing more than the price of
a meal at a hotel during their short stay in
town.
After approving bills aggregating £363.33
council adjourned.

THOUGHT THEY WERE RUNNING.—An
amusing incident occurred at the West
ward, Bellefonte, election precinct, on
Tuesday morning, when H. C. Crissman
and James Kane arrived at the polls, Both
gentlemen were under the impression that
they were on the ticket. The former run-
ning for assessor and the latter for consta-
ble. For awhile they were hustling around
button-holing every voter in sight and
even sought counsel with the notorious
West ward “blind horse,”” but consterna-
tion was struck to the Democratic heart
when Crissman discovered that neither one i
of their names was on the ballot.
Together they appeared before the judge
to announce that the election would have
to be declared off and the printer of the
ballots sent to the penitentiary for having
made such a mistake. The judge set every-
thing to rights, however, by announcing
that the West ward Demoeratio caucus
did'nt know what it was doing when they
were nominated. The mistake was made
in this way : Both the assessor and consta-
ble serving had been appointed to serve the
unexpired terms of appointees and hold
office until the term expires and not until
the next election, as was supposed.
Neither gentleman was much disconcert-
ed, but set to working for their friends
with that ease of mind that is certainly a
great comfort to a fellow when he is not a
candidate himself.

WAS IT AN ATTEMPT TO BURN ST.
JOHN’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH ?—A dastard-
ly picce of business was done in St. John’s
Lpiscopal church, corner of Allegheny and
Lamb streets, this place, last Sunday even-
ing. An entrance was effected through a
basement window and three gas jets in the
choir room were turned on and the henches
piled in the middle of the floor. Burned
matches were scattered about everywhere
and when the janitor and organist Reeve
entered the place before the evening ser-
vice the gas almost evercame them, They
soon located the trouble and a hasty ex-
amination disclosed the fact that an at-
tempt had been made either to burn the
structure or wreck it by an explosion,
though it is more likely to have heen the
work of malicious hoys.
Had organist Reeve entered by way of
the chair room, as is his custom, and at-
tempted to light a match the volume of
gas in the room would undoubtedly have
exploded with frightful results.

AN ANSWER TO MANY INQUIRIES. —We
have had a number of inquiries as to the |
cause of the failure of the auditors’ names |
‘to appear at the bottom of the statement of
the county’s financial condition, recently
| sent ous by the papers of the county. At
first thought it would seem strance that |
' the auditors had failed to attest to the cor-
rectness of the statement, but when iv is |
known that the statement is really not an |
auditors’ statement the mystery is clear- |
ed up.
The published statement is, in fact, a |
statement prepared by the commissioners
mm
hey
file theirs at the prothonotary’s office, where
it can now be seen. It used to be the cus-
tom for the auditors to siggihe statement,
but it was not a necessity.

AN AFTERNOON WITH THE SPORTS.—
To have seen the line of conveyances that
crowded fast after one another on the Lew-
istown pike, on Monday afternoon, one
might have thought a funeral cortege to be
passing along that highway, but when ice
wagous, beer wagons and all kinds of drays
were found to be mixed up with swell
road wagons, cabs and the other smart look-
ing turn-outs that rumbled along the slop-
py road, a different aspect was put on the
scene. ]
The sports of Bellefonte were out for an
afternoon on the famous old racing course
at ‘‘the black barn,” where a quarter of a
century ago John Bauer, a brother of Nich-
olas Bauer, of this place, was killed while
riding a race and where the great ‘‘Chick-
asaw’’ was wont to kick dust in the eyes
of all comers in the running races. In
those days Mart Cooney, Isaac Lose, and
Jim Cornelly were boys, and a reckless lot
too, for they would get astride any kind of
a pedter and ride it to the death, while the
crowd of long-ago sports cheered them to
the echo and used the cool water of Logan's
Branch as ‘‘chasers’”” between heats. The
trio was on the turf, on Monday, but the
running races at ‘‘the black barn’’ are over.
They were there to see two of the ‘“‘has
beens’’ in a harness race.
Ed. Baney had his “Red Royal’’ on the
course and Jimmy McCully busied himself
with his goatee, while jockey Harvey
Baney rubbed alcohol on old ‘‘Bee’s-
Wings”? legs. Considerable scrapping
among the horsemen about town had re-
sulted in a bet of $50, between Baney and
McCully, as to which owned the fastest
horse and Monday the question was settled,
for in two straight heats “Bee's Wings?”
flew right away from ‘Red Royal” who
showed himself a “quitter” in the second,
after making a mighty pretty race over
half the course.
No time was taken on the race. Jimmy
McCully and his friends had that after they
got back to town, and away into the night.
this refrain could be heard floating down
from the big stable in Cherry alley.
“Red Royal” has a trottin’ gate,
Old “Bee's Wings” does the pace,
And though he is a skinny skate,
He's no “lobster” in a race.

DEATH OF MRS. LARIMER.—For weeks
Mrs. Rachel Larimer, widow of the late J. |
Gibson Larimer, has been so seriously ill
with jaundice that her death, on Tuesday,
