his eyesight - would be impaired, but the
physician does not fear such a serious out-
> come now.
—Mis. W. H. Wilkinson and Sam
Taylor, her manager, have just returned
from New York and China Hall is already
beginning to tell tales of what they did in
the great emporiums of that city. The
loveliest and most dainty china. bric-a-
brac, and china novelties are finding their
way into Bellefonte’s beautiful store and
such a selection as is now being offered
there is enough to transport the most
wsthetic house-wife. The newest designs
are always to be found at China Hall and
there is no place in Central Pennsylvania
where purchasers have such a variety to
select from.
SHE STOPPED THE TRAIN SO SHE COULD
SET HER WATCH.—A good story has just
come to be public property which shows,
to a nicety, the imperturbability of a cer-
tain young school teacher who would be
generally recognized if we were to give her
name. She was teaching school, several
winters since, at one of the small towns
along the upper end of the Bald Eagle val-
ley rail-road. Wesay small town because
the place was only a flag station and trains
did not stop, except on signal, unless they
had passengers for that point. As most
school teachers possess a watch, be it
Elgin, Waltham or Waterbury, she was no
exception to the rule, but like most women
she wound it only when she thought of it
and that was about half the time.
Of course the school was regulated by her
watch, so you can see that with the time
piece in motion about half the time things
went in a rather spasmodic manner. Chil-
dren were often spanked for being late
when they had actually arrived at school
half an hour before the hour for its call to
order. Many times they were sent home
so long before the right meal hour that they
imagined themselves hungry and sent their
mothers into fits of consternation over the
seeming unreliability of their good old
family clocks. These things went on until
the set order 6f things in the entire com-
munity was broken upon and an investiga-
tion disclosed the fact that the school-
marm’s watch had been the cause of it all.
She was a pretty, winsome young thing
and the directors were a little shy about
calling her attention to the matter. But
as things usually doin the country the
stories that were being told finally reached
her ear. She was furious, of course, that
any one should question the reliability of
the solid gold time piece she had paid seven
dollars for during the last institute. In
fact, she got so angry, the longer she thought
of, it that she went off to bed without wind-
ing it.
Next fnorning she was at a loss to know
what to do. She wouldn’t have looked at
the old shelf clock in her boarding house if
she never had been able to tell the time.
And yet, under light of present circum-
stances, it was next to a necessity for her to
have her watch right. Just when she was
about to give up in dispair a happy idea
struck her : She would go down to the
rail-road and ask one of the train-men the
time so she could set her watch. Down
she went, and when the little waiting shed
| was
|
reached she realized that unless |
| there was some one to get off, the
i train would not stop. An instant
| later another thought entered her mind
and caused her to shake out a few
more of the convolutions in her gray-mat-
ter. She would flag the train, just as if
she intended going away on it. oy
Presently the morning passenger round-
ed the curve up the track and whistled for
——then began a frantic waiving of
arms in front of the shed until the two
puffs of white steam and the following
toots of the engine whistle told her that
the signal had been seen and the train
would stop. It pulled into— and
stopped, the brakeman bounded down onto
the stone ballast with all that gallant sup-
pleness that makes them appear like jump-
ifig-jacks when there is a young woman
about, the conductor walked out onto the
platform, with that Townthetrain air of his,
and shouted ‘“All-a-board.”’ Then, and not
until then, the young teacher coyly niheed
up to the brakeman and said, in a No. 50
voice : “Will you please tell me what
time it is, I want to set my watch ?”’

Co. B. INSPECTED, —The annual inspec-
tion of Co. B. 5th Reg., N. G. P., of this
place, was made in the armory on last Mon-
day afternoon and evening. The state
property was inspected during the after-
noon and in the evening the men were
drilled for the examination of the inspect-
ing officers. . :
The company made a very creditable
showing and was reported much improved
in every way over its condition for several
years past. B company had been first in
the regiment for a number of years, but the
boys lost their high position through va-
rious little disturbances in the organization
and now seem determined to regain their
old rank of honor.
The Coleville band, that will probably
become the regimental band, was present
and furnished music. After the inspection
the young folks present danced for a short
time. A cosmopolitan, though thoroughly
enjoyable party. .
One of the pleasantest features of the
evening was a surprise that the men had in
store for their young captain, Hugh S.
Taylor, Esq. In a neat little speech H. C.
Quigley Esq., a past captain of the com-
pany, presented him with a handsome,
gold mounted sword and belt as an evi-
dence of the esteem in which he is held by
the rank and file. Naturally abashed hy
such an unexpected and gratifying token
of good will Mr. Taylor did not lose his
composure entirely, but made a ringing
speech to his men that was full of earnest
feeling.
The military dignitaries present from a
| distance were as follows : Major John P.
Penny, inspecting officer, of Pittsburg ;
sergeant Moore, of Harrisburg, of the state
arsenal ; Capt. Pierson, of U. S. A., station-
ed at Pennsylvania State College; Col.
Theo. Burchfield, of Altoona ; Adj. Phil.
D. Foster, of State College.

A TrRAMP’S SLICK TRICK.—Every one
knows that it takes a smart man to live
without working, but tramps are rarely
considered in this class, though there is no
reason why they should not all be placed in
the same category with the more fortunate
fellow who appears to be lying on the top
shelf all the time with not a sign of a
visible income.
There is one tramp in the land, however,
who was born fora better business. He
turned up at Williamsport, the other day,
left his foot-prints all along the Pennsylva-
nia railroad tracks from that city to Snow
Shoe Intersection and then disapeared as
completely as if the earth had opened up
to make an asylum for him.
On Monday morning of last week the
grip of conductor Grubb was stolen at
Williamsport from the rear coach of the
passenger train which left Lock Haven
that morning. In the satchel was the con-
ductor’s punch, numbered 568, and a lot
of duplex forms having thereon numbers
running from 72,320 to 72,394. A search
was made for the grip, but no traces of it
could be found. A few days later the
stolen duplex forms began to show up at
the different ticket offices along the Bald
Eagle valley railroad. It is beleived that
the thief, supposed to be a tramp, went to
Lock Haven and then proceeded up the
Bald Eagle valley road. The first place
he stopped was the Beech Creek station,
where he presented six coupons and re-
ceived the cash for them. Going on up
the road he stopped at Mill Hall, Howard
and Curtin’s Works, each time presenting
six tickets and getting the money for them.
The station agent at Curtin’s Works was a
little more suspicious than the others and
thinking there might be something wrong,
telephoned to Stonerode, at Milesburg, to
be on the look-out for him. A little la-
ter he presented himself at Milesburg sta-
tion, offering six tickets with the request
that they be cashed. Stonerode was on
his guard and kept the tickets but refused
to give the money on them, until he had
inquired whether they were all right. The
man protested that they were all right, and
said he would return in an hour or so for
them. Stonerode then telegraphed S. S.
Blair in regard to the tickets and also to
Bellefonte and other points along the line,
to be on the look-out for him.
The tramp’s last appearance was at
Snow Shoe Intersection. The railroad men
at that station had been warned and were
discussing the coupons when in walked a
man answering his description. Had he
presented any tickets there, he would have
heen held for further investigation ; but
he had evidently overheard part of their
conversation and after making a few in-
quiries about trains lost no time in getting
out.
The thief headed for the mountains and
in no where to be found. Agent Hutch-
inson, of this place, was expecting the fel-
low to show up here and had an officer
ready to arrest him, but this tramp was no"
side-track runner. He was going on straight
lines and had no time for “‘back-in” sta-
tions.
The coupons that he was making money
out of were the kind a conductor gives a
passenger who pays a cash’ fare. Each du-
plex is good for 10 cts at any Pennsylvania
station. They are the draw-backs a passen-
ger gets for the ten cents excess fare he
pays.
A RACE STREET TENEMENT IN FLAMES.
—About four o’clock Wednesday afternoon
fire was discovered in an out-kitchen at they
rear of the large tenement house, on Race
street, just off High. The building is a
large frame structure and burned with
frightful rapidity so that the rear por-
tion was completely enveloped by the time
the fire department reached the scene. In
fact the occupants of the apartments were
able to save very little of their effects and
some of them are left in a very destitute
condition.
The fire is supposed to have been caused
by the seven year old son of John Me-
Nichol, who occupied house No. 2. The
child had a toy engine with which he was
accustomed to play in the out kitchen and
built a fire to make the thing more natural.
It soon ignited the floor but it was not un-
til the little place, was thoroughly ablaze
that the little one ran to his mother and
called her to see the nice big fire he had:
“When she saw it she grabbed him and fled
in terror from the house. The alarm was
quickly rung in and responded to, but the
place was thoroughly gutted, notwith-
standing there was enough water pumped
into it to float it away.
John Miller and family occupied No. 1.
No insurance, furniture badly broken up
and water damaged, some burned.
John McNichol and family occupied No.
Was only living there temporarily.
Good furniture stored on second floor, back,
and all burned. Some saved, but badly
broken up. No insurance.
William Rider and family occupied
No. 3. Goods all broken up and destroyed.
$300 insurance renewed that day at noon.
Jacob Flack and family, also occupants
of No. 3. Lost nearly everything they
had. No insurance and are really in desti-
tute condition.
Theodore McNichol and family, occu-
pants of No. 4. Furniture mostly gotten
out but all more or less broken up. No
insurance. Mrs. McNichol has been sick
in bed for weeks and had to be carried out
of the burning building on a tick.
The building was owned by C. K. Mec-
Cafferty, of Bradford, Pa., and is insured
for $3,000. *

A HOUSE BURNED AT COREVILLE.—The
two story frame dwelling” house owned
by Mrs. Bridget Kelley and located
at Coleville, a small hamlet west of this
place, was totally destroyed by fire, about
6 o'clock, Tuesday evening.
The house was occupied by Samuel
Sprankle and his family and they were all
in it when it took fire from a defective flue.
As Coleville has no other means than buck-
ets for fighting fire the flames burned with
great rapidity, notwithstanding a drizzling
rain that was falling at the time.
Mr. Sprankle was fortunate in having
gotten nearly all of his household effects
out of the burning building, for he didn’t
carry any insurance. Mrs. Kelley had
$700 on the house, which amount will
probably cover her loss. While the build-
ing was a very comfortable one it was one
of the first to be erected in Coleville and
was built by the late Augustus Cox.
EVANGELICAL APPOINTMENTS FOR THIS
District. —The last thing done at the re-
cent session of the Central Pennsylvania
conference of the Evangelical church, held
at Carlisle, on Tuesday, was the announce-
ment of appointments. Those for this, the
Central district, are as follows :
A. Stapleton, Altoona, presiding elder.
Bellefonte, C. H. Goodling ; Bellefonte cir-
cuit, G. W. Heiney ; Altoona and Bell-
wood, W. M. Sanner ; Howard, J. R. Se-
christ ; Nittany, E. W. Koontz ; Sugar
Valley, C. W. Garrett ; Brush Valley, W.
H. Stover ; Centre Hall, W. W. Rhoads ;
Spring Mills, W. H. Brown ; Centre, J. J.
Lohr ; Millmont, D. P. Shwxeffer ; Buffalo,
J. Schambach ; New Berlin, J. F. Shultz ;
Penn’s Creek, A. D. Gramley; Middle-
burg, J. Hert ; McClure, L. Dice ; Port
Trevorton, W. H. Noch ; Lewistown, Geo.
Joseph ; Patterson, J. D. Shortess.
It will be observed ‘that the WATCH-
MAN’S announcement of several months
ago that Rev. George Zehner would not
return to this charge has been borne out by
the fact. It was denied at the time it was
made.
—
HE THOUGHT IT OUT WHILE ASLEEP. —
Jimmy Cornelly has applied fora patent on
a window washing brush that shows con-
siderable ingenuity in its construction.
His device is to use a hollow handle onto
the end of which there can be made con-
nection with a hose and water conducted
down into a spray in the brush. In this
way store windows can be readily washed,
because there is always a fine spray of wa-
ter squirting out between the bristles of the
brush.
MuTES WERE MARRIED. —An interest-
ing wedding took place a% the home of
Wm. F. Stover, two miles west of Mill-
heim, last evening, when Charles Shriner,
of Mifflinburg, and Miss Louisa Funk, of
Penn township, were married.
As both of them were deaf mutes the
ceremony was gone through with by the
sign language and there was more bowing
and scraping and shaking of fingers and
heads than is usually seen at such a funx-
tion.

THE EXCURSION To PINE GROVE MILLS.
—Headed by the Undine band three hun-
dred and fifty Bellefonte business men,
their wives and sweethearts, started off on
an excursion to Pine Giove Mills yesterday
afternoon. The train left the Pennsylva-
nia station at 2:30 and the fine weather
made the ride along Buffalo Run valley,
then through the ‘‘Barrens’” and out into
the beautiful farming region of Ferguson a
most delightful one.
A great many people from the surround-
ing country had ‘gathered into the vil-
lage to welcome their guests and several
hours were spent in sociability. The trip
proved a most delightful one, not only for
the travelers but as well for the Pine Grove
folks who are never so happy as when
making outsiders feel at home.

The first rafts to reach Lock Haven
this season arrived in that city, on Tuesday
afternoon. The onc raft was from near
’atchenville and the latter came from
Chest creek. The one raft is square pine
and the other is pine and hemlock. The
hemlock timber scaled 11,300 cubic feet.
The arrival of rafts this year on March 9th,
is the carliest that rafts have reached Lock
Haven in years. Last year the first raft
did not float into the dam until April 1st.
Ex-Representative J. H. Patchen states
that from what he has learned there will be
only about seventy-five rafts come down
the river this spring. Of this number
Patchen will have fourteen, Weaver &
Betts, about twenty ; Forcey, about eight.
The rest will be scattering. All of Patch-
en’s rafts will be square timber—mostly
oak.

the lines running out of this place and to-
morrow, Saturday, the Bellefonte Central
company will begin running an experi-
mental train to be known as the Saturday
shopper. These trains will run on the
regular schedule time and their principal
feature will be the fact that half fares are
to prevail. On every Saturday train fares
will be reduced just one-half. This is a
departure and will give people living along
the line of the Bellefonte Central an oppor-
tunity to come to Bellefonte at a very low
