Goodling, of the Evangelical church, performed the ceremony at twelve o'clock. A number of friends were present and after the cere- mony 2 nice dinner was served. . MANGLED BY A MOWING MACHINE. — It was only through a most miraculous es- cape that this community was not shocked by another horrible fatality on Saturday. About 3 o'clock that afternoon Charles Taylor, the twenty-one year old son of George Taylor, a well-known farmer who lives on the Henderson, or ‘‘back Hunter’’ farm, near Fillmore, was mowing clover. He was driving a tea..: of colts in the ma- chine and they were very fractious. The young man was able to manage them, how- ever, until one of them suddenly shied oft at a load of hay that was being hauled out of the field. Taylor lost his balance and fell over in front of the cutting bar. The team then started to run, but with rare presence of mind and seeming to realize that he would be chopped to pieces if he did not keep himself out of the way of those terri- ble knives that were clicking with the rapidity of lightning, Taylor held fast to the lines. In this way he kept his body from being perforated by the sharp guards and after the team had run about 15 rods he got it stopped. Exhausted, bruised and bleeding the young man was unable to get loose when he had stopped the horses, but Robert Henderson and some men, working in an adjoining field, saw his plight and hastened to release him. When they had picked him up it was found that a guard had pierced his left arm above the elbow and that his right side was terribly lacerated. After he had been taken home Dr. J. L. Seibert, of this place, was called and at- tended to his injuries. The young man suffered terrible pain for a few days, but is getting along as nicely as could be ex- pected now. His escape from a horrible death is really miraculous and largely due to his rare presence of mind in holding onto the lines, after falling from the mower seat, and in that way holding himself out of the way of the knives. > A Bovy’s NECK BROKEN.—A frightful accident occurred on the farm of John Sei- bert, four miles west of this place, at 5 o'clock last evening, whereby little Charles Dale, the 5 year old son of Samuel Dale, of Warriorsmark, was instantly killed. The lad was a grand-son of Mr. Seibert and, with his mother. was visiting at their fine country place. During the afternoon of the fatal day the men were engaged in hauling in hay and bad just unloaded a wagon in the barn and started to go back to the field. The team was standing near the barn and the lad was swinging on the stay chain, when the horses started and he was thrown under the wheels. * Not a sound was uttered from the little lips, but John Seibert came out of the house just at the instant the rear wheels were passing over his neck. He grabbed the lifeless form of his little nephew, but it was too late. The heavy front wheels had killed him. His neck was broken. The child was carried into the house and physicians called from Bellefonte, but it was too late. He was dead when they arrived. A PECULIAR AcCIDENT.—While Samuel Tressler, of Nittany valley, was riding a colt and leading several others, a few days ago, one of them kicked up and knocked him clear off of the one he was riding. Though he was badly shaken-up and bruised, no bones were broken. ) >> Robert Moyer, baggage master on the Lewisburg train, was knocked out of his car, at Axe Mann, yesterday morning, by having his head knocked by a building that stands dangerously near the track. He was leaning out too far, seeing that a baby carriage was gotten off all right. He was cut and bruised about the head and shoulders, but not dangerously hurt. GET R. T. Bloom, of Mileshurg, an em- ployee of the Central rail-road company of Pennsylvania, had the third finger on one of his hands badly crushed and broken on Monday morning. He was holding a drill when the handle of a 161b sledge broke and caused his injury. — >. ——While riding a horse on his father’s farm, down in the Bald Eagle valley, last Tuesday afternoon, Ralph, the 12 year old son of H.

Miles & Co., grocers on south Spring street, this place, has under- gone a change by the retirement of Ed- ward Schofield, the junior partner. He has been succeeded by S. S. Miles, of Port Matilda, a brother of John Q., who has had many years experience in the mercantile business. oe — HUSTLING TO AVOID THE TAX—Under a recent act of the Legislature all alien la- horers of this State are to be taxed three cents a day and there is a general scramble among them now to get out naturalization papers. On Monday thirteen Polanders came in from Snow Shoe to file their first papers with the Prothonotary. It is highly the proper thing to tax this class, but we trust our judge will be very discreet in granting naturalization papers to them. Sed No NOTION OF STARTING.-—A rumor has been in circulation, the last few days, to the effect that the Valentine iron com- pany’s rolling mill is going to start soon. Inquiry at the offices of the firm discloses the fact that the rumor is entirely without foundation. ——Don’t forget the Hecla to-morrow. great picnic at oo ——=See Lyon and Co’s new advertise- ment of warm weather clothing. ro ——The Undine celebration at Hecla park to-morrow will really bea nice place for you to go. There will be plenty of fun for all. ile ——Local capitalists are negotiating for the purchase of the Philipsburg electric light company’s plant, most of the stock of which isowned by Hon. J. N.

About a year ago she joined the Presbyterian church and became so zealous in the work that she lost her reason. tae ——Mr. D. M. Cowher, whose son, A. Boyd Cowher, lives at Hunter’s park, has charge of one of the largest roller mills in Western Pennsylvania now.

The gentle- men were very much pleased with the place and thought it an advantageous loca- tion. vi ——In publishing an account of the pur- chase of carefully mated mounts for the Sheridan troopers of that place the Herald says ‘‘the troop will have a fine outfit of complete horses.” Just what is meant by complete horses we are not able to guess, unless it is that these have all of the tails that grew on them. ———— te ——Rev. E. B. Sowers, of Philipsburg, won the second prize in a word contest that was carried on by the American Nation Co., and will receive a diamond ring. The first prize is $500. Rev. Sowers will have no use for such a jewel and intends selling it to give the money to missions. Billy Tobias, of Millheim, also won a diamond ring. ee. Mrs. George Cathcart and her neigh- bor Beck have gotten into difficulties again and justice Keichline has bound them over for court in the sums of $200 and $300, respectively. They live, side by side, on ‘Methodist Hill’’ and from all re- ports their lives must be one continued scrap. The latest unpleasantness was char- acterized by the women deluging one anoth- er with dish water and Mr. Beck and the Cathcart boys exchanging compliments with stones. —_— ee ——DBaron Steigel, founder of the bor- ough of Manheim, ceded the site for the Lutheran church in that place to the con- gregation for five shillings and the pay- ment of ‘‘one red rose” every June. In later years the church has organized a great rose carnival in commemoration of the philanthropist and it is one of the annual events of that place. For the one that was held, June 13th, Dr. Alfred Bierly, of Chicago, a noted composer who was born in this county, wrote an anthem that was considered the finest musical number of the day. — oe ——One of our correspondents has made a suggestion that is indeed worthy the con- sideration of road supervisors and those in- terested in good roads in all parts of the county. It is that such persons meet mn convention, either by picnic or special meet- ing, once a year to discuss methods for road improvement. When it is considered how essential to the economic regulations of trade good roads are and that every portion of Centre county might profit by the expe- rience of the others it will be seen how fruitful such a meeting might prove to be. Now that the State is doing something for better roads would it not be becoming the individual to waken up ? lar AN OPEN MEETING.—Next Tuesday evening, July 6th, exercises will be held under the auspices of the Prohibition league of Bellefonte, in the temperance rooms, in Crider’s exchange. They will begin at 7:30 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Goodling, pastor of the Evangelical church, will de- liver the address and the Prohibiton quar- tette will sing. All are very cordially in- vited. as Louis DoLL EXONERATED.—Brewer Louis Doll, of Roopshburg, was returned, re- cently, for having sold a four gallon keg of beer to Claude Miller, a minor son of George Miller, of this place, and a hearing was given him, Friday evening, before jus- tice Keichline. As no evidence was produced to hold Mr. Doll for violation of the liquor laws he was discharged. Mes. SETH H. Yocum.—The death, of Mrs. Seth H. Yocum at her old home, in Middletown, N. Y., on last Friday evening, was most unexpected to her friends here for while it was known that she was in failing health when she came east in May it was thought that her life would be spar- ed for several years. Her death is particu- | larly sad as she had just gotten back to | her friends, after an absence of some years, and her children are just at an age when they need her most. She was well and favorably known here where she will be remembered as a woman of rare intelligence and gracious personali- ty. Her husband represented this district in Congress in 1878-9 and while here they built the fine country place now the home | of the Shoemakers, north of town. After- | wards they removed to Johnson City, Tenn., and from there to Passadena, Cal., where Mr. Yocum diel, in April, 95. Mrs. Yocum came east in May with her two daughters, Bessand Martha, and her son, Frank, to make her home with her sister, Miss Florence Horton, at the Horton home in Middletown and her death will be a great sorrow to her family. John is with the U. S. Leather company in New York ; Charles is in California, where Joe, the third son, recently graduated at the Leland Stanford University. I ll ll THE DEATH OF SAMUEL TIBBENS.— The remains of the late Samuel Tibbens were interred, on Sunday afternoon, the funeral having been from the home of his son Henry, on east Howard street. Rev. Ed. Hoshour of the Lutheran church offici- ated and interment was made at Pleasant Gap. Samuel Tibbens was 79 years old when his death occurred, last Friday afternoon, and with his passing one of the old land- marks of Spring township is removed. He was born at Laurelton, Union county, Feb. 18th, 1818. When a young man he came to this county where he married Elizabeth, daughter of Joseph Gerberich. He settled on a farm, four miles east of Bellefonte, where he remained until he re- tired from active work, in 1869, when he moved to Boiling Springs. He lived there until 1884, when his wife having died, he went to live among his children. Deceas- ed was a highly respected citizen and a man whose active life was characterized by a lively interest in matters of public good. He was the father of nine children, all of whom survive. I fl ll DEATH OF MRS. MARGARET NOLAN.— On Tuesday night at her home, on west Lamb street, Mrs. Margaret Nolan, widow of the late John Nolan, died, after a long illness of Bright's disease and paralysis. Mrs. Nolan was a genial, companionable woman, acquainted with all the older resi- dents of the town and while she and her family bad nothing but what they labored for they had pleasure and contentment, for they took time to enjoy life and were sat- isfied. She was born in Perry county, October 15th, 1823, and although past the allotted time of years retained her remarkable memory and conversational power ’til the last. Her daughter, Alice, devotedly cared for her during her long illness but neither love nor skill could stay the sum- mons. Her other children are Charles, of Newark, N. J. ; Christ, of Butler, and John Ford, of Slippery Rock. She was a devoted Catholic and she will be buried this morning at 10 o’clock from St. John’s church. f ll ll | DroPPED DEAD IN THE BARN.—The venerable Thomas Marshall suddenly ex- pired in the barn on the McKnight farm, near Hunter's park, about 20 minutes after 8 o'clock Wednesday evening. Though he was 76 years old Mr. Marshall was still a very active man and was helping Mec- Knights with their harvesting. He had been unwell for a few days, but was not serious enough to quit work and on Wed- nesday evening he left the field ahead of the other men to go to the house. After unhitching the horse from the hay rake he led it into the stable and was about to un- harness it when he dropped dead. Mr. Marshall had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Maud Benner, at Rock Forge, but will be burried from his son’s home, above Fillmore, to-day. I I I Broop PorsoNING KILLED Him. — A. H. Hunter, a well-known Mill Hall citizen, died last Monday morning, after ten day’s illness. He had been working about the brick yards when he suffered a slight in- jury to his leg.

Lester Sheffer, Bellefonte agent for Columbia and Hartford bicycles, made the following sweeping cut in prices on Wednesday : 1897 Columbias $75, 1896 Columbias $60, 1897 Hartfords, models 7, 8, 9and 10, $50, other Hartfords $30 and $40. Second hand bicycles at $5 to $30. +e A LoxG BICYCLE RIDE FOR $20.—Jacob Brown and a Mr. Allen, of Wilkesbarre, both missed the east bound Beech Creek. passenger train, at Hawk Run, on Tuesday morning, and as both were anxious to get to Lock Haven before the night train, the only other one over the road, they began talking of the possibilities of reaching there by other conveyances than the cars. The distance is 107 miles and their talk finally culminated in a wager of $20 that Brown could not cover the distance on a bicycle, before the night train would arrive in Lock Haven, carrying Mr. Allen. Brown went from Hawk Run to Clearfield and thence to Lock Haven on his wheel, arriving there an hour earlier than Mr. Allen, who took a later train. The wheelman made the trip of about 107 miles from 8:45 a. m. to 8 p. m. He stopped at Gillintown for din- ner and ate his supper at Eagleville. When Mr. Allen arrived in Lock Haven on the 9:17 Beech Creek train he was met by the wheelman. He gave Mr. Brown twenty dollars, the amount of the wager. News Purely Personal. —Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

RALPH ILLINGWORTH TO BECOME A LAWYER.—Ever since his graduation from Dickinson college Ralph Illing- worth has been a character of more or less interest to residents of Centre county. It was during the holding of the conference in this place that he was ordained in the Methodist ministry. His first charge was the Pine Grove Mills circuit and in Fergu- son township he met and married his wife. Besides these incidents he served the Penns valley circuit and, on the whole, is a pretty well-known young minister in Centre county. It was while on the Pennsvalley circuit that he registered as a law student in this place and began the study of law, presumably as an aid to a clearer concep- tion of the gospel and a more argumenta- tive way of presenting its truths. The real reason for his study of the law bas just come to light, since his announcement that he is going to give up the pulpit for the bar and will soon be among the lawyers in this place. Mr. Illingworth has given evidence of exceptional ability and he will doubtless hold no mean position in the army of young lawyers who are marching to the top. AN UNFOUNDED REPORT.—For sever- al days past reports have heen circulated in Pittsburgh papers to the effect that the co-operative glass company is about to go into the hands of receivers. It is an abso- lute falsehood and we want to make the official announcement that the men are more than pleased with the result of their first season’s work. Next fall the capacity of the plant will be doubled and that fact, alone, should be evidence that the co-oper- ative plan has succeeded here after re- peated failures under other management. The steady, sober character of the men who are interested and their zealous deter- mination to make it go, is largely responsi- ble for the healthful condition of the husi- ness. In talking to one of our leading bankers, the other evening, he stated that he knew the business to be in a very healthful con- dition. The last blowing for this fire was made on Wednesday. Outside papers may put the plant into receivers’ hands as often as they want, but we who live here and see everything that goes on will know how much truth there is in it. > BELLEFONTE PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS ELECTED—At a regular meeting of the school hoard, last Tuesday evening, the following teachers were selected to teach in the Bellefonte schools next year : D. O. Etters, principal; A. R. Rutt, principal of high school, with Roy B. Mat- tern and Miss Ella Levy as assistants ; John F. Harrison and Miss Anna M.

Curry, Rose Fox, Mary Underwood, Anna McCafirey, inter- mediates, and Misses Millie Smith, Jennie Longacre, Bella K. Rankin and Bessie Dor- worth, primaries. The salary list will continue the same as last year. a WILL BE SEVERELY DEALT WITH.— The Catholic cemetery in this place is be- ing made a play ground for people, both young and old, and it is proposed that such trespassers be excluded from the bury- ing ground. It has been the practice to pull palings off the fence and use the cemetery as if it were a public common until those in authority have grown tired of such desecration and now warn the public that any trespassing, whatever, will not be tolerated. Those found within the cemetery, unless having a right to be there, will be prosecuted and punished to the full extent of the law. ce he His LEG AMPUTATED.—Dr. 0. W. McEntire, of Howard, and Dr. Ball, of Wil- liamsport, amputated David Thompson's leg at the thigh last Saturday.
