B, in this placé, on Ty esday evening, CORRESPONDENTS.—No communications pub- | PETER MENDIS A FREE MaN.—For twenty-days Peter Mendis was forced to remain in jail here because the district at- torney had put confidence in the story of a disreputable character who, after failing in | an attempt to blackmail the poor Italian, | accused him of having poisoned his busi- ness partner, James Maria, twenty-two months ago. It is to the credit of the court that no further postponement of the habeas corpus proceedings was made. The hearing had | already been held up twice to awaib the report of the Philadelphia experts on the stomach and intestines of Maria, that had been sent there for analysis. On Monday afternoon the hearing was called for the Jast time and so that no further injustice would be done Mendis the Commonwealth | undertook to show that it had sufficient evidence on which to hold him, disregaring | the report on the stomach. | Just why this evidence was not present- ed at the first hearing was not discovered until Monday, when its wish-washy char- acter made sport for the large crowd of peo- ple who had gathered to hear the case. The Commonwealth was afraid to present it and persuaded the court to hold the Ital- ian over in jail until something could be heard from Philadelphia. Butas every- one expected nothing incriminating was heard from the experts and after showing about the measliest case that has ever been presented to a Centre county court, ona serious charge, the Commonwealth apolo- gized to the court and asked for the release of the prisoner. Apologies won’t repay Mendis, nor heal his wounded honor for the twenty-days he had to spend in prison. The hearing involved the examination of Joshua Foulk, Hard P. Harris, John How- ley, Dr. Locke, county coroner, Mrs. Anne Spearley and C. M. Parrish, druggist. All of the witnesses had bad some connection with Maria's sickness, burial or the ex- huming of his remains. Their testimony developed nothing that has not already been published concerning the case. Mrs. Spearley, the star witness for the Common- wealth, got on the stand to tell ‘‘the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth” and ‘‘sassed” the attorneys to her heart’s content, hut unfortunately the “truth” she told on the stand did not tal- ly with what she had told the district at- torney before and she was not in the box long until the court wearied of such a sorry perversion of justice and wrote out a dis- charge for Mendis. October 26th. The consolidated orchestra will furnish the music and preparations | are being made for a big time. ——Owing to the crippled condition of of the Susquehanna University foot hall team the game at State College, advertised for to-morrow afternoon, has been canceled. State will play no more ames at home bhe- fore going to the University of Pennsylva- nia next Wednesday. —W. V. Hughes, one of Alioona’s leading contractors formerly of Bellefonte, has received the contract from A. B. Cun- niigham & Co., to build their new six- story wholesale tobacco warehouse build- ing fronting on Market street, Philadel- phia, and will begin the work in a few days. Every holder of a ticket for the Peo- ple’s popular course of eight entertain- ments for $1 is entitled to one seat, but | those who prefer can have their seats re- served in advance by the payment of 10 and 20cts extra for each entertainment. The admission for single entertainments will be 50 and 75 cts. Among the speakers who have heen chosen to discuss topics of interest to farm- ers at the farmer’s institutes in the State during the coming winter are Prof. W. A. Buckhout, Prof. Geo. C. Butz, Dr. H. T. Fernald and Dr. William Frear, all of The Pennsylvania State College. The choice was made by the state department of agri- culture. —George W. Jackson, senior partner of the banking firm of Jackson, Hastings & Co., has been confined to his home, on Linn street, for a week with a severe cold. For a time he was threatened with pneumonia, but the danger from that is past now, though he is not: regaining his accustomed health with that rapidity that his friends would like to see. Dr. Isaac Guss, of Philipsburg, who recently won $25 for having formed 1,554 English words from the words “Silver Knight,” is working to win the $1,500 of- fered by the National Recorder, of Wash- ington, to the person who makes the most good English words, using only the letters that are to be found in “Patent Attorney Wedderburn.”” He has about 10,000 words already. ——The Pennsylvania State College foot- ball team made a splendid showing against Princeton during the first thirteen minutes of play in their game, on Wednesday, but then weakened and were beaten by the score of 34 to 0. State undoubtedly has splendid material, the equal of the best of them, but lacks in that good, hard, honest training that gives endurance and is the only thing that will work them up to the standard that such men should attain. ——The Bellefonte chapter Daughters of the Revolution made a change in the plan of their delightful gatherings by driving to the Old Fort, last Thursday af- ternoen, and taking supper at the historic old hotel. The ladies had a dual purpose in their visit. Besides enjoying the social features that are so charming in their order they talked over the scheme of erecting a tablet at that point, where they believe the first building in the county was erect- ed. The fort was established by Gen. The Italian was very happy that night and held an impromptu reception wherever he met anyone. THE MAN WHO SAVED GEN. BEAV- ER's LIFE GETS A MEDAL oF HONOR. —Frederick F. Rohm, of Harrisburg, has lately been awarded a congressional medal of honor for distinguished service at the battle of Reams’s Station during the civ- il war. The occasion for this conferring of such an award on Mr. Rohm is so closely allied with the military career of one of Bellefonte’s most distinguished citizens that the following story of it will doubt- less prove of interest to most of our read- ers. Frederick F. Rohm is a watchman in capitol park, and did not learn of his good fortune until he read it in the newspapers. He received a letter from secretary of war Alger on Monday. Rohwm’s gallantry consist ed in saving the life of General James A. Beaver, at the great risk of his own. Gen. Beaver has never forgotten his rescuer, and when he became Governor he appointed Rohm to a position atthe state arsenal, and subsequently secured for him the place he now fills. Gen. Beaver did much to- ward securing the medal for the hrave watciman and has telegraphed his con- gratulations. The story of the loss of Beaver’s leg and his rescue by Rohm is part of the history of the battle of Ream’s Station. August 16, 1864. Beaver was at the time colonel of the 148th regiment and Rohm was chief bugler of the 16th Pennsylvania cavalry. Just after the Sixteenth had passegl a small piece of woods about 100 yards from the Union line of intrenchments, Rohm no- ticed a field officer lying on his back in the dust in the middle of the road waving his hand toward the cavalry. His attention was attracted to him by the fine new dress uniform and the shoulder straps of a colo- nel which he wore. Rohm jumped off his horse and taking his blanket placed the officer upon it and with the aid of three other men dragged him back to the intrenchments under a heavy fire. While he was being placed in an ambulance Rohm asked the wounded officer his name, ‘‘Beaver’” was the faint response. The spot on which Beaver lay when rescued by Rohm soon after became the fighting ground between Hancock’s corps and Hill’s men, and had the wound- ed officer not been carried away he would have been trampled to death in the awful charge which followed. Asa result of the wound Beaver lost his leg. ade SALONA’S REMARKABLY OLD MAN. — Samuel Hartman, of Salona, is probably the oldest man in Nittany valley. He has lived a score of years more than the time allotted to man, yet he is able to move about as a man many years younger. It is hard to realize there are men living to-day who were of school age when we fought with Great Britain, in 1812. Mr. Hartman was, in 1835, a gatekeeper on the old canal, and can relate some interesting anecdotes. He cleared a farm in the wilderness when the nearest neighbors were miles distant and when wolves prowled about at night. He was a member of one of the first abolition organizations and afterward hecame identi- fied with the Republican party, but for Potter, in 1777, and was as a protec- tion from Indians. several years he has been an uncompromis- ing Prohibitionist. It was thought that the fires in the new glass works, in Lock Haven, would be lighted yesterday. It is expected that the blowing of bottles will be begun on Monday. vee Frank D. Fisher, head of the hook binding department of the Democrat Pub. Co., of Lock Haven, was in town, on Tuesday, taking measurements for some fine work they expect to do for the county commissioners. —*9e Port Bilger was severely injured by being kicked in the breast by one of his father’s horses last Friday morning. The accident occurred at his home, at Arctic Springs, between Philipsburg and Beaver Mills. ge as ——DMiss M.

THE GUN BLEW UPp.—Yesterday Benj. Shaffer, of east Howard street, borrowed Jerry Shutt’s muzzle loading shot gun and began to clean it up preparatory to taking a hunt to-day. After he had it in good shape he decided to try it and went out in- to the back yard to shoot it off. The breech blew out sending the full charge of powder into his face, seriously injuring him. Dr. Harris was called in, but the unfortunate man’s face is too bad- ly swollen to permit of the removal of the powder from his face and eyes. Though he will not lose his sight it is feared that that of his right eye will be impaired. Sh a Kune’s saw mill, near Eagleville, was destroyed by fire Wednesday night. Partially insured. gal LE ——About 7 o'clock Monday evening Kellerman’s house, in Tangletown, near Milesburg, caught fire from a defective flue. The Citizen’s hook and ladder com- pany of the latter place was on the scene promptly, however, and soon subdued the flames. il ANOTHER LARGE BARN BURNED IN BrusH VALLEY. — Last Thursday after- noon about 3 o'clock the large bank barn owned by Mrs. Philip Hubler, located near Rebersburg, was discovered to be on fire and the entire community was thrown into a fever of excitement. The barn was completely enveloped in flames before they were discovered and all effort to save it was fruitless. Nothing is known as to the cause of the fire. The building was insured for nearly $2,000. re BALD EAGLE VALLEY’S LARGEST BARN IN AsHES.—The monster barn on the “Mud lick’’ farm, 1} miles west of Julian, was totally destroyed by fire, on Wednes- day night. The farm was occupied by H. K. Mattern and everything he had in the barn was burned, with the exception of the live stock. No idea as to the origin of the flames is had. There was some insurance on the property, but not enough to cover the loss, i a A PECULIAR GAs LEAK. — For some time the odor of illuminating gas had been detected near the entrance to Rowe’s fur- niture store, in the Bush arcade, on High street, but the pipe men in the employ of the gas company were unable to locate it. The mains are from ten to eighteen feet deep along near the High street bridge, hav- ing been laid years ago before the street was filled up to its present grade. This makes it a difficult job to strip them, so it was put off as long as possible with the hope that the locality of the leak coald he nearly | located by the odor. On Monday it became so strong, just in front of Rowe's show window, that a hole was punched into the earth between the paving stones and tried with a lighted match. No sooner had the light been ap- plied than with a terrific report a jet of flame shot high into the air and another blew a large stone from the foundation wall and shot far ont into Rowe's cellar. The gas had followed the pipe into the | cellar and for awhile made it very canger- | ous. The place was full of mattresses, | burlap, excelsior and other inflammable furniture packing so that it required con- | siderable work to keep it from taking fire. It was nearly mid-night when the pipe | was stripped and found to have been broken almost in two. ANNIVERSARY MEETING.—The annual gathering together of the friends of the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. to commem- orate with fitting service the closing of a year’s work and to pray that rich- est blessing may crown the work of a new year will be held in the Presbyterian church, on Sunday evening, October 17th. Rev. Dr. Lawrence M. Colfelt will de- liver the address and everyone is cordially invited to attend the meeting. A male choir will sing with W. T. Meyer, as or ganist. E The condition of the Bellefonte associa- tion is most encouraging indeed. It needs but a visit to the rooms to convince any- one of the good work that is being done there and the number of frequenters of the reading, game and conversation TOOMS, the gymnasium and bowling alleys is the greatest earnest of their attractiveness. Lately the halls and assembly rooms have been freshened with new paint, the bowling alley overhauled and other im- provements made that lend an additional charm to the building. It is a splendid rendezvous for boys and young men and, in truth, many older gentlemen find pleas- ant recreation in the association TOOMS, where the pure, moral atmosphere that per- vades every nook and corner is a constant revelation to them. There are many Bellefonte parents who have not the slighest idea where their boys spend their evenings and, probably, less concern, yet if they were to institute a search some night they might be surpris- ed to find them comfortably reading whole-, some literature or indulging in beneficial athletic sports in the association rooms ; there under the care of a pleasant, chris- tian manager. ye THE BELLEFONTE Y. M. C. A. AND PEOPLE'S POPULAR LECTURE COURSE. — Because of the fact that a misunderstanding is reported to exist in some quarters relative to the interest the Bellefonte Y. M.C. A. has in the proposed course of eight entertainments to be given in Belle- fonte during the coming winter the board of directors of the association, at a meeting last Monday night, took action practically as follows : Though subscriptions have heen solicited for what is to be known as the People’s course of eight entertainments, under the announcement that the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. is to share in the profits of the enter- prise, the directors of the association dis- claim any agreement or contract of any participation, whatever, in it. The misunderstanding was in the sale of season tickets which were said to have been offered for $1, without any explana- ation of the fact that an additional charge of 10 and 20cts will be made for reserved seats at each entertainment. The course is a particularly strong one and will prove highly satisfactory to the town, but the association does not care to be identified with it and does not expect to share in the profits, if there be any. een THe NEW UNION CHURCH AT HECLA DEDICATED. —Christ’s Union church at Hecla park was dedicated, last Sunday, un- der most auspicious circumstances and the brightest of fall sunshine. The church was built to till a long felt want for a suitable place for christian wor- ship and the title to the property is so vest- ed that members of any denomination can use it for religious purposes. While there are many families in that community of different sects there are not enough of any particular one to support a church alone, hence the building of the Union. Rev. J. Sechrist, of Howard, conducted the dedicatory services and was assisted by Rev. Crittenden, of this place. Quite a large number of people attended and the indebtedness was wiped out, leaving a small balance in the treasury. The site for the building was donated hy the late J. Cline Zimmerman. gu CATHOLIC CHURCH SOUVENIR.—The dainty littlesouvenir book which has lately heen issued by St. John’s Catholic ch urch, of this place, will be put on sale next week. It is an artistic book and will be an inter- esting heir-loom in any household in this community, whether in town or country, and will be more interesting still ages from now. The price has been fixed at 50 cts and the proceeds will be for the benefit of the church. ee st ——The Jacksonville Christian Endeav- or society held a very entertaining sociable at the country home of Mr. William Irwin, about two miles east that place, on Friday night. Regular monthly sociables are a feature of the work of the Jacksonville society and are proving so attractive that a great many young people of that com- munity are being brought under the whole- some influence of the society. — There will be a special meeting for directors, officers, members and contrib- utors to the Y. M. C. A., in the associa- tion rooms, at o'clock Sunday afternoon. Dr. Colfelt will talk on the work of the association. Owing to the limited seating capacity of the rooms admission will be hy card. Those desiring to attend can secure cards at the association rooms. mn te -—The new United Brethren church, in Philipsburg, was raised on Saturday and it was expected that it would be un- der roof by the end of this week. ta A New HALL For CENTRE HALL.— Work bas been begun on the new town tre Hall and by next spring that town will have one of the best appointed public meeting places in the county. The new hall is to be built in the south- ern end of the town and will be of brick.

Johnsonbaugh, near Hecla park, on Monday morning at 3 o’clock. Deceased was a widow. Her burial was made on Wednes- day afternoon from the new Union church at Hecla. oe -— Mrs. Susannah Biddle, relict of the late George Biddle, of Scotia, this county, died at Arch Springs, last Friday, in her 70th year.

John Rumberger, living near Warriors- mark ; Mrs. William Musser, South Phil- ipsburg ; George, Lewisburg ; Mrs. Ed. Gingery, Arch Springs, at whose home she died, and David, of Scotia. i GEORGE GILL SKIPPED Our.—George Gill, who will be remembered as having played ball with Tyrone when the old Mountain league was in existence, played during the past season with Lock Haven. The pay of the players was a little slow down there so last Saturday they closed the season with a benefit game and dance for the players. It is claimed that Gill handled the funds and instead of distribut- ing them he kept the entire amount and departed. He passed through this place Saturday night. — ee KILLED ON THE BEECH CREEK.—A. H. Clark, a Beech Creek R. R. brakeman, was killed by being struck on the head by the over-head bridge, ahove Mill Hall, yester- day afternoon. His body was found 1 ying on top of a car when the the local freight pulled into Beech Creek. His head was crushed in. KILLED NEAR HOUTZDALE. — Alex Doran, of Cross Forks, Potter county, was struck by an A. & P. connecting special train near Houtzdale, last Saturday night, and received injuries from which he died a few hours later. He had formerly lived at Houtzdale and had returned on a visit to his mother-in-law who lives at Old Moshannon, a suburb of the town. After taking a few drinks he started for her home. When near the Prospect shaft he sat down on the track and was struck by a special train that was speeding towards Philipsburg.

McCormick, of Ferguson town- ship, spent Monday in town settlingup the busi- ness of his lamented father’s estate. Happily for the family there was none of that unpleasantness that ofttimes accompanies such sad duties. The impress of the straight-forward life of the late J. Shannon McCormick is recognized in all of his children and that is the reason they could “just settle the business up without any trouble whatever.” —Mrs. Aaron Williams surprised her numerons friends in this place hy dropping in on them last week, but disappointed them, straightway, by an- nouncing that she had not returned to stay. She is living with her mother and widowed sister, at Richmond, Ind., and while they all suffer more or less with malaria they will not leave unless it is to move on to Colorado, where a brother is em- ployed as an electrical manager. Mrs. Williams was just here to attend to some business pertain- ing to the settling of her lamented hushand’s es- tate. —Louis J. Evans, not so long ago a resident of Bellefonte, but now located at his old home in Carwensville, dropped into town, on Saturday, to spend a few hours with his friends here. He was on his way home from Willkesbarre, where he had been attending the state firemen’s convention | and looked decidedly natty in his green uniform.

I That was his last visit here and congequently he noticed many changes when he arrived on Mon- day. He has been down in Brush-valley for a week or more and was on his way back to Chicago. BUYING LARGE QUANTITIES OF APPLES IN CENTRE COUNTY.—The farmers of Centre county are realizing ready sale for their apples at McCalmont & Co’s, of this place, and Shortlidge & Co’s, of State Col- lege, whose salesmen are buying all the ap- ples they can secure. They have already purchased about three thousand bushels. The men who are buying state that if the apples had been sprayed in due season, there would he more than twice as many good winter apples for sale; the worms having destroyed or injured, in some in- stances, more than one half the crop. Ori- gen Atwood and James Roan have started the old cooper shop at the nail works and are making the barrels in which the ap- ples will be shipped. The farmers pick the apples and haul the barrels from the near- eststation. The buyers do one half the work in harreling and the seller does half, after which the seller delivers the barreled apples to the nearest railroad station. The buyers of the apples pay the freight on the empty barrels to the station to which they are shipped. This gives a market for apples not heretofore realized by farmers in Centre county. ese THE DIRTIEST TRAMP ON EARTH.—The Tyrone police captured what then believed to be the dirtiest tramp on earth a few days ago and took up a popular subscription to buy soap with which to wash him. After they had secured twenty-five cakes of cleaner the grave question as to who would do the scrubbing arose. The mess was such a filthy one that for awhile it looked as though the hobo wouid escape to further enjoy himself in his portable wallow. But just as the police were about to let him go a colored train jumper was brought in and given his option of becoming a human washing machine or spending ten days in the Hollidaysburg jail. He chose the former and went to work. It took everyone of the twenty-five cakes of soap to get the various crustaceous de- posits off of him, hut when done he looked like a different man. His picture was taken before and after the operation and will be used as a soap advertisement. The removal of the stiffening of dirt left the poor hobo so weak that he had to be sent to the county almshouse to recuperate. see. THE CHRONOTHANATOLETRON SHOW.— Well, why don’t you pronounce it and go right a head reading that this show is go- ing to be the most novel and entertaining in its features of any that has ever exhibit- ed in Bellefonte. It will be here for three nights only, Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of Nov., and in order that everyone can see it the ad- mission has been fixed at the surprisingly low sum of 10cts.
