THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
——Spring opened up in great glory,
but the four days since the opening have
more than eclipsed it.
——Nicely’s horse sale, at Millheim,
was very poorly attended on Wednesday.
Only two horses were sold.
——Presiding elder J. H. Pershing will

——A literary and musical intertain-
ment was given at the United Brethren
church, corner of Thomas and High streets,
last Thursday evening.
——Grocery-man John Q. Miles expects
to move into the McQuistion house, on
west High street. This doesn’t look as if
he was going to leave the West ward.
——Hon. W. K. Alexander, of Millheim,
has formed a partnership with E. B. Mec-
Mullen, for the manufacture of roller flour
at the old Musser mill in that place.
Detectives are at work in Bellefonte
trying to ferret out the culprit who set the
Centre county court house on fire. Two
Pittsburg men are working on the case.
Bill Doak, a well known character
in Bellefonte, has just pulled through a
: very serious attack of quinsy in Tyrone,
where he is following the cobbler business.
——No finer lodge rooms are to be
found in Central Pennsylvania than those
of Bellefonte Castle, K. G. E., since they
have been so handsomely decorated as they
are now.
——Ex-county commissioner Jas. B.
Strohm has taken a civil service examina-
tion for an appointment under the McKin-
ley administration. He was in Philadel-
phia for that purpose last week.
——M. B. Garman recently purchased a
7yr old pacing mare at a horse sale, at
Richmond, Ind., that is too speedy for the
other fast nags about Bellefonte. She has
a mark of twenty-one and has done a six-
teen clip at trials.
—Eli Erbard, of Unionville, went
down to the Pennsylvania hospital, in
Philadelphia, some time ago to undergo an
operation on his leg. He stood the opera-
tion satisfactorily and is now getting alon
as well as could be expected. '
——The mission workers from the Belle-
fonte Y. M. C. A. went over to Boalshurg
and ‘conducted what is reported to have
been a very successful service in the Luth-
eran church, last Sunday evening. It is
said that there were five hundred people
present.
—Mr. W. W. Montgomery and fim-
ily have moved into there new home on Al-
legheny street, and Mrs, Hoy is busy mov-
ing into the house, on Linn street, vacated
by the Montgomerys. The Bellefonte
club will move into the house vacated by
the Hoys next week. :
—Next Wednesday evening, March
31st, The Pennsylvania State College man-
dolin club and quartet will give a concert
at Garman’s. - The program is published
elsewhere in these columns and a perusal
of it ought to convince all that a very
pleasing entertainment awaits those who
attend.
— Milesburg bad a fire scare, on Mon-
day morning. The roof of Edward Brown's
house, on Hazel street, was found to be on
fire about five o’clock in the morning, but
the prompt arrival of the hook and ladder
company saved the building from further
damage than a few small holes in the roof.
A defective flue caused the fire.
——It is rmored that Wm. DP. Humes,
of this place, would like to be made com-
missioner of railroads by the McKinley ad-
ministration and if the rumor has any
foundation we trust that Mr. Humes will
be successful in his aspiration. Bellefonte
has no more conscientious nor affable citi-
zen than Mr. Humes and anyone could es-
pouse his cause without fear of having to
regret it.
—While sleeping in his father’s store
at Madisonburg, on Sunday night, Clyde
Smith was almost asphyxiated by coal gas.
When he awoke in the morning he felt as
if choking to death and in trying to get to
the door fell over several times. Finally
he did reach a broken window, where he
got enough air to resuscitate hini, but not
before he had broken his nose by his fall-
mg in sinking spells.
—Mr. and Mrs. J. Mitchell Gardner
entertained a party, last Saturday after-
noon, that for real pleasure and genial fun
surpassed any society event that has heen
given this season. Harold, their only
child, was six years old and for him the
party was given. The little ones invited
were the envy of the town for his chums
bad found out that there was to be ‘“‘two
kinds of ice cream and{six big cakes.”
From thirty to thirty-five of them and
nearly that many grown peoplejwere there
and a royal good time did they have.
The games were a perfect show, the re-
freshments were great, but the climax was
reached when each guest drew a little
whistle with a balloon end from] the big
Jack .{orner pie.
Is BELLEFONTE TO HAVE A SHOE
MANUFACTORY ? — The Bellefonte board
of trade met, on Monday and Tuesday even-
ings, to entertain a proposition for the loca-
tion of a manufactory for hoots and shoes
in this place. The gentleman who pre-
sented the matter before the board was
Mr. W. A. Hughes, of Williamsport, who
claims to possess valuable patents and ma-
chinery, but is not possessed of enough
money to properly push a business.
He had been operating in Williamsport
until it became impossible to go on longer,
owing to difficulties with his partner in
business, so the plant came to a stand-
still. Mr. Hughes’ patent is for cutting
out uppers by machinery, a hitherto ex-
pensive hand process, which will give him
a great advantage in cost of manufacture as
by his process shoes can be made at just
half the cost required at the present.
Mr. Hughes proposition to the board of
trade was this: He is to turn over ma-
chinery, patents, etc., valued at $18,000,
to a stock company for $15,000 ; $8,000 of
which is to be paid him in stock of the
company and $7,000 to be in cash to liqui-
date some obligations he has in Williams-
port. As the company is to have a capital
of $25,000 this would make it necessary to
raise $17,000 in cash. But asitis to bea
stock company everyone who goes in will
receive stock to the amount of his sub-
scription. The proposition is by no means
a bad one, as Mr. Hughes nvites an inven-
tory of his appliances and puts them in at
$15,000 within $2,000 of as much, in
amount, as he asks Bellefonte to put up for
stock. ; :
Hammon Sechler, A. C. Mingle and J.
C. Meyer were appointed to go down to
Williamsport to inspect his machinery and
thoroughly investigate. They went down,
on Wednesday morning, and spent the day
in that city. They made their report
at the meeting of the board, held last even-
ing, and it was anything but favorable to
the project. The committee could not see
that Mr. Hughes’ machinery and appliances
were worth as much as he valued them at,
but the matter was not dropped and is still
being held under advisement.
Burgess Naginey presented a proposition
of a Columbus, Ohio, man to establish a
cob pipe manufactory here. This proposi-
tion was a good one, as it requires the out-
lay of only a thousand dollars and the gen-
tleman, who has had years of experience in
the business, offers to run it for a percent-
age of the profits.. He would ask no salary,
thus making his pay dependent entirely
upon his own efforts to make the busi-
ness go.
Centre county could furnish the corn
cobs without any trouble.

VISITING STATE COLLEGE ToO-DAY.—
About sixty members of the Legislature ar-
rived in this place last evening and were
taken on up to State College on a special
train over the Bellefonte Central rail-road.
It is a general legislative delegation of
visitation and to-day the gentlemen are be-
ing shown about the institution. It is
unfortunate that such visits are always
made at thisseason of the year, when every-
thing in nature is seen at its worst.
Though the worst at The Pennsylvania
State College is always pretty enough to
charm any one it isa pity that the mem-
bers of the Legislature never have an op-
portunity to visit the place when nature
has added her final adornment and trans-
formed the great campus into a veritable
bower of heauty, and made a landscape
that for grandeur is unsurpassed.
The visit is somewhat in the nature of a
surprise to the authorities, but the build-
ings and grounds of this child of the State
are always in such a condition that there is
never such a thing as getting ready for in-
spection. It has been the rule as the Col-
lege to keep things in such a manner of
neatness and proper order that the place
is ready, at any moment of the year, for
visitors.
Tie HOWARD WATER SupPLY CoON-
TROVERSY ENDED.—Jesse Cleaver, survey-
or, A. J. Swartz, W. H. Noll, W. C. Pat-
terson and W. A. Ishler, the. viewers ap-
pointed by the court to determine the val-
ue of the land about the source of the pub-
lic water supply for Howard borough, this
county, filed their report with prothonota-
ry Smith yesterday.
The commission was appointed to award
damages to Mary M. Frank, of Philadel-
phia, who was able to show title to the
land on which the impounding dam is
built and which was supposed to be owned
by other parties.
The report shows that about one-tenth
of an acre, exclusive of the stream, has
been appropriated by the Howard water
company and she is allowed damages to the
amount of $200.
This award will more than likely settle
the controversy as it is deemed a very
liberal one for the small strip of mountain
land that is in dispute.

Rt. Rev. Thomas McGovern, bishop
of the Harrisburg diocese of the Cathnlic
church, was consecrated to that high posi-
tion just nine years ago. The bishop was
consecrated by bishop O'Hara, of Scranton,
assisted by bishops Gilmore, of Cleveland,
and Waterson, of Columbus, O., in St. Pat-
rick’s pro-cathedral, Harrisburg. He was
ordained a priest 36 years ago and came
from that nursery of bishops, St. Mary’s
college. The arch-hishop of New York
and he were fellow students and, as bishop
McGovern says: “I preached my first
sermon in Frankford, Philadelphia, in
which diocese I remained until I was cut
off from it with Bellefonte and Bradford,
when they were cut off from the diocese of
Philadelphia.’’

April 9th, and Friday, April 23rd, as Arbor

the planting of three hundred and fifty mil-

It was really a matter of very great
surprise that so much interest was mani-
fested in the Corbett-Fitzsimmons prize
fight in this country. Indeed preacher and
layman, farmer and townsman, profes-
sional and mechanic were.all wrought up
to a high tension over the stories of it.

Mrs. Margaret Alexander, whose
condition has been so serious for the past
week, is reported to be improving very
fast. Her daughter, Mrs. Harvey Yarring-
ton, came up from Richmond to be with
her and will stay until summer. Mrs.
Alexander will move into the McClure
house, corner of Spring and Bishop streets,
just as soon as she is able.

A very interesting game of basket
ball was played in the armory of The
Pennsylvania State College, last Saturday
evening, between the Bucknell University
team, from Lewisburg, and State's team.
The visitors came with an unbroken record
of victories for the season, having downed
State in a previous contest, but the defend-
ers of the blue and white, having become
better acquainted with the game, won it by
the score of 10 to 7. Basket ball is a new
game at State College and is about as clean
a variety of indoor sport as is possible to
indulge in. It is snappy from the start off
and depends more on agility and headl-
work than brute strength. 5

——An alarm of fire from the West ward
called out the department, about seven
o’clock, last Friday evening, and, as is
the case, half the population of the town
was running hither and thither with pie-
tures of as deep concern on their faces as if
the dismal old fire horn had been Gabriel’s
trumpet calling them all to judgment.
The alarm had been sent in from the Bush
house, wherz a lot of steam was making its
way heavenward from the roof. It did
look as if the big hotel was on fire, but in-
vestigation disclosed a different state of af-
fairs : The steam exhaust for the building’s
service had been connected with a ventila-
tor and as the traps were not working
properly dense clouds of steam were pour-
ing out of it.

SURPRISED THEIR FRIENDS.—Deputy
prothonotary Arthur B. Kimport was
married, at Selinsgrove, on Tuesday, and
will return to Bellefonte in a few days to
make a home for himself and his bride.
Few of Arthur’s most intimate friends
knew of his matrimonial intention until
the nuptial was announced and now the
habitues of the court house are hiding
their time to give him a royal welcome
home. He is a son of the late Daniel Kim-
port, of Harris Twp., and, while a very un-
ostentatious young man, has been one of
the most popular officials ever estab-
lished ot the court house. His bride is a
daughter of Adam Felty, of Furguson
township, and is said to be a young wo-
man endowed with splendid domestic at-
tainments.
We welcome them to Bellefonte and hope
that their life together will be as bright
and happy as June sunshine.

ARE YoU GOING ON THE EXCURSION
To-NIGHT ?—The low rate of 50cts for the
round trip is having its effect in the make-
up of the excursion train that is to run over
the Central to Lock Haven to-night.
ready nearly one hundred people have
signified their intention of going from here,
besides the number that will doubtless
join the party at points along the line.
Arrangements have been made with the
Lock Haven trolley company to have
enough cars over at Mill Hall when the
special arrives there to carry the entire
party to that city.
Although the train is being run to carry
people to the home talent production of the
war drama, ‘“The Drummer Boy of Shiloh,’
that is being played in Lock Haven, it is
not compulsory that those who go on the
excursion attend it.
The round trip fare from Bellefonte will
be only 50cts and excursion rates will be
given at all other stations along the line.
It will be a jolly party and you will have
a good time if you go. :
The train will leave Bellefonte at

HE RETURNED A MANI1AC.—Last June
the WATCHMAN published an account
of the mysterious disappearance of Ed-
ward Selke from hiss home in Scotia,
this county. He is the son of John
Selke and with his father and mother
made up what was to all appearances a
happy, though humble home. Father
and son labored about Scotia and noth-
ing of misfortune crossed their thresh-
old until Edward mysteriously disap-
peared. .
Not a word of intimation as to the cause,
not an apparent reason for his having done
it was left to the family after they found
that he had gone away from them. Why,
none knew. All the newspapers in the vi-
cinity published stories of his disappearance
and every effort was made to obtain trace of
his whereabouts. Five months afterwards
the parental hearts were gladdened by
news from the son, whom they supposed to
have been dead. He was then working on
a farm in Florida and wrote hopefully of
making enough money to return some
time and keep themgpll comfortably for the
rest of their lives, Bit wound the letter up
by asking for money. His parents were so
glad to hear from the only son that they
forwarded enough, at once, to fetch him
home, but they heard nothing further of |:
him until just before New Year’s when he
wrote for money from Baltimore. Again
they sent some to him and he returned
home, but the joy at his return was chang-
ed to sadness when the poor boy was
found to be deranged. He had become a
religious maniac and at times imagined
himself to be the Saviour and different
ones of the apostles.
Frequently his mania would take on a
different turn, when he would declare that
he had been ordered to kill his father and
mother as a sacrifice. These dangerous
spells became of such frequent occurrence
that the family became afraid and notified
the authorities. Saturday the young man
was quietly induced to come to Bellefonte
and visit a friend in the county jail.
Once inside he was confined in a cell and
left there. When it became apparent to
the man that he was to be confined in jail
he calmly resigned himself to fate.
Sunday his prayers and songs kept up
through the entire day and it is said that
some of sheriff Cronister’s boarders were
not the most patient listeners. . Monday
and Tuesday it was the same, but on Wed-
nesday, he had quieted down and seemed
as sane as anyone could be when his broth-
er-in-law, Mr. James Williams, and poor
overseer Kephart, of Patton township,
started away to Danville asylum with him.
It is a very sad case. The young man is
‘only twenty-six years old and is the son of
aged parents.

HE HAD A KNIFE.—Ollie Veters, a col-
ored porter at the Brockerhoff house loaded
up with tanglefoot, on Wednesday night,
and became so offensive about the hotel
that the police were asked to take charge
of him. They did so, until he begged off
and promised to be good, but instead went
up to the kitchen and armed himself with
a sharp carving knife then began hurling
foul epithets at the bar keepers until the
police were called again and locked him
up for the night.
He was taken to jail, yesterday morning,
and committed for carrying concealed
deadly weapons. |

DIPHTHERIA AT AXE-MANN.—Diph-

Axe-Mann again and the people out there

the mumps a few days before his death his
condition was not supposed to be alarming
until Tuesday morning.

county, which is considered a better charge.
—“Johnny” Roundtree dropped into our office

to be so. We were sorry to learn that his health
has not been of the best for some weeks, but we
imagine he gets little sympathy because he al-
ways looks go well and talks so cheerfully that no
one expects his type to be sick at all.

CONCERT AT STATE COLLEGE.—One of
the largest and most enthusiastic audiences
that ever assembled in the college chapel
for a concert attended the opening one
given by the State College mandolin club.
The club was assisted by an excellent
quartette and by a violin soloist. It is to
be regretted that the College was unable to
turn out a glee club this year, but the
mandolin club and quartette are certainly
a great credit to the institution.
Several additions will be made to the
programme for the concert which the Col-
lege boys will give at Garman’s, on Wednes-
day evening, March 31, one of them being
a vocal solo by Mr. Wentzel.
