Lock Haven and Sunbury are hoth moving to secure the games. Why not play the latter, at least, at Hecla park? ——The Centre Hall borough council has awarded the contract for the new wa- ter plant over there as follows: For fur- nishing all equipments for aud pipes, hydrants, fire plugs, valves and tittings, to R.

No award was made on the reservoir as the council has decided to build a small- er one than was estimated on. -Bellefonte was thrown into a fever of excitement, on Wednesday morning, by an alarm of fire. It was rung in from east Lamb street, where the double frame house, owned by Mrs. Mary Blanchard, was dis- covered to he on fire. Quite a hole was burned in the roof and garret floor, but be- fore more serious damage had been done the flames were extinguished. Former sheriff W. Miles Walker occupies one part of the house, but the other is unoccupied and it was the part on fire. The fire is supposed to have caught from rubbish burning in the yard. ——In having lost Mi. and Mrs, B. C. Achenbach and their interesting family of boys, as residents of Bellefonte, we cannot but feel enviable of lock Haven, their new home. During their vears of life here all of them were deservedly popular. The bakery and confectionery which Mv. | Achenbach directed was always stocked | His candies. cakes, pies, | with the best. breads and had a reputation that would follow him a far greater distance than to Lock Haven. As a caterer he was ices always reliable and many a Bellefonte af- | fair has been largely dependent on his share of the work for its success. We understand that he has already opened a place in the Brown building, in Lock Haven. where he wiil handle nothing hut confectionery and fancy cakes, besides catering and serving oysters and ices in season. Anything that was purchased at Achenbach’s in Bellefonte was all right and we have no hesitancy in saying to the people of Lock Haven that they may ex- pect te find it the same at his store in their city. if jin. *Pointer’’ is not | THE GLASS WORKS ed again for the winter, on Wednesday, when the first blowing was made. Tt had been expected that blowing would be be- gun two weeks ago but a controversy as to the wage scale delayed the work. In fact the Co-operative company has just figured in what might probably be the beginning of one of the greatest conflicts in which or- ganized labor has ever participated. When the factory was about to resume here the flatteners and cutters declined to go to work at the wage rate adopted and signed by the western wages committee of the glass worker’s association. Up to this season all skilled workmen about the glass factories of the United States have heen members of Labor Association 300, which has been known as the strongest labor or- ganization in the world. It embraces all classes of skilled workmen about glass fac- tories and protects their interests in such a way that very few disturbances occur in that industry. The flatteners and cutters, however, while still members of the moth- er organization, have lately come to the belief that their interests have been made secondary to that of the blowers and gath- erers so that they have made another or- their own wage scale. With this done the flatteners and cutters at the Bellefonte fac- tory refused to go to work under any other than their own scale and then L. A. 300 stepped in to insist on its supreme right to make the wage rate. With the flatteners and cutters out there was no hope of starting the factory and Mr. St Peter, secretary of the national or- ganization, came on to straighten out the difficulty. He was met here hy 8. S. Cake, president of the flatteners and cutters or- | ganization, who had come on to urge his members to stand out for recognition for the new organization. Mr. St. Peter's only | course then was to secure flatteners and cutters who had not left the old organiza- tion for the new one. This he did and all of last week the town was crowded with glass workers. Coming and going constant- ly there were new faces among them every day. Finally enough were secured to start the factory here and blowing has been he- gun. | In order that Bellefonte people under- | stand just what has been done, because | they have been instrumental in starting the factory here, secretary St. Peter has made the following statement concerning | the difficulty : “The scale for the window glass workers association that has been signed by the Bellefonte Co-operative glass com pany is the scale that was prepared by a majority of the members of the western wages committee. This committee is elected by the member- ship at large of the entire organization and is given full power to arrange and prepare a scale that has been done and its report has been endorsed by the executive | board of the window glass worker’s associ- | ation, by grand master workman, J. R. Sov- board of the lerign, and the executive | Knights of Labor.’ “Every man employed at any of the skill- ed trades in or about the works here is a full fledged member of local assembly 300 | K. of L.. and the fact of his showing a will- ingness to abide by the ruling of the execu- | naces and has everything pertaining to the | tive board is a proof of his fealty and love | trade. rd, and the State- | { for the mother organization.’ f “President Vernes was in town, on Tues- day, and heartily endorsed the actions of the members who went to work here on Wednesday and promised the financial and morai support of the organization and | his instructions to secretary St. Peter were | to guarantee the members who have re- | sumed work that the organization will | stand with them so long as it shall last. | | He was assured by the members of the Co- | mittee and in case any other was made | with any trade or trades, collectively or | separately, that the scale prepared by the western wage committee would he can- celled.” “It was also mutually agreed and under- | stood that any member of the window glass worker's association, whether a stockholder in the Bellefonte Co-operative or not, that refuses toabide by the decision of the major- ity of the members will not be permitted to work for the Co-operative at any future time, if they can be prevented from doing | so by the national organization.’ The unfortunate feature about this trouble has been that one of the cutters, Mr. Calhoun, is an eighth owner in the Bellefonte Co-operative plant and as he has cast his lot with the new organization of course he will not be permitted to work hy the old. He was notified to return to work | under the western rate or debar himself from future employment here. The notice was served yesterday. The factory has resumed with just doub- le the employees, all around, that it had last fire. Instead of a four pot furnace | they have eight pots and will make just twice as much glass. We sincerely hope | that this little difficuity at the outset will have no effect on the successful operation | of the plant during the winter. The first | blowing resulted in splendid glass. -—e CORNELLY’S ATTORNEYS To ARGUE | FOR A NEW TRIAL.—Among the twenty- | nine cages on the docket for argument | court, which begins next Tuesday, is that | of James Cornelly in motion fora new trial. | The assignments of error upon which the l application has been made have al- ready been published in this paper.

Because the weather did not suit him and he wanted rain for his farm he took his gun, one bright Sunday morning, and rushing impulsively out into his orchard pointed the weapon at the heavens and be- gan to utter the most blasphemous oaths. Immediately he became petrified in the position of sacrilege that he had taken. Not a muscle could he move and members of the family, who discovered him there later in the day, thought him turned to stone. Tor two and a half days, the story runs, he stood there like a statue in the orchard, until it was finally decided to build a shed over him as a protection from the elements, for no one knew how long it would last. The occurrence caused the greatest ex- citement in that community and all kinds of stories were set afloat. They found their way into almost every newspaper in the | country and, of course, were not believed. | In fact it seemed so preposterous that most of the papers contradicted it afterwards | and just as promptly accepted the refuta- | tion as they had the story itself. Dr. 0. W. McEntire, of Howard, has placed us in possession of two letters, however, that appear to be reliable and they confirm the story of the remarkable occurrence. They are from A. C. Quigley, | postmaster at Instanter, Elk county, near which place the offending farmer lives and | as he is known to be a thoroughly respon- | sible man there is nothing left to do but believe what indeed is a modern parallel of the awful fate suffered by Lot’s wife. The letters are as follows : Instanter, O. W. McENTIRE, M. D. Dear Doctor : Your letter of the 18th inst., received inquiring as to the truth of the sev- eral different reports running through the newspapers of your section of the State, con- cerning a farmer being turned into stone. I will say, in reply, that a man by the name of Decker, living near here, is reported to have had an experience of that kind, but was in town yesterday looking very pale and scarcely able to talk. He denics the allega- tion. But there are different people here | who positively claim to have seen him when | he was in the position as reported by the pa- pers. These people say that on occount of some mysterious influences they were unable to get close enough to make identification complete, but they are positive that he was the man. On the contrary Decker is very quiet on the subject and absolutely refuses *a., Sept. 21, '97. | to discuss it. | was supposed to have happened he was a One thing is very apparent that before this very profane man, but now he is altogether changed, so much so, that one having known him before would not now recognize him at ago that any of you need be reminded of the time, yet there must be surprise in the | minds of those who visit his place at the ! extensive proportions it has assumed. | From a very modest little beginning he has | built up what is one of the most complete | establishments of the sort in town.

It was on the night of November 2ud. Lee Woodcock had just gotten home from the Medico-Chi., in Philadelphia, to vote with his party the next day and the | burglars carried off his trousers, $5 and his gold watch. The trousers were found in the alley near the Orvis home, further east on the street, but nothing was ever heard of either money or watch. The watch was a very handsome’ gold one that had been presented to Lee by his uncle William Lee Woodcock Esq., of Altoona. An inseription on the back of the case told of its being a present and of its donor. Almost a year has elapsed since it was taken and this makes its recovery all the more remarkable, for it has been recovered. A few days ago Mr. Woodcock, of Altoona. received an express parcel from Harris- burg and in it he found the watch that he had given his nephew. No word or ex- planation or demand for reward accom - panied it, and though the watch is again in the hands of its owner the mystery of its disappearance has been made deeper hv the mystery of its recovery. - vos DEATH oF Mis.

Deceased had suffered about two years with pulmonary troubles and her death, though expected, was sad because of its occurring just in the full bloom of womanhood. April 8th, 1885, she was married to Mr. John O’Connor, then an employee of the Bellefonte nail works and they resided in Bellefonte until the fall of 1894, when they moved to Philadelphia, where John is em- ployed in the federal customs service. The development of her trouble was so rapid, after leaving here, that last April it was deemed best for her to return to Centre county and she came to her childhood’s home at Gillilandtown, but the disease was too far advanced to he arrested and she gradually sank away to a peaceful death. Funeral services were held over her ye- | mains in St. Mary's Catholic church, in Snow Shoe, on the following Tuesday | morning and interment was made at that place.
