Beworai Watpan Terms, $2.00 a Year, in Advance. Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. 19, 1897. EbpiTor. | | | | P. GRAY MEEK, - g Pennsylvania Valor Commemorated. | The valor of Pennsylvania soldiers had a | merited tribute paid to it in the recent | dedication of monuments on the battle | fields near Chattanooga, Tenn., in which | the seventy-eighth Pennsylvania infantry | and twenty-sixth Pennsylvania artillery took a gallant part and displayed their de- votion to the old flag. A number of the surviving members of those regiments par— ticipated in the ceremonies that revived the memories of those heroic days and com- memorated the service of those comrades who died in order that the Union might live. Of the battles fought in the neighbor- hood of Chattanooga that of Chickamauga was pre-eminent in the fierce character of the fighting and the courage displayed by the contending armies. On no other field was the bravery of the American soldiers on either side more brilliantly exempli- fied. It was a most disastrous day for those who fought for the Union, but it was no disgrace to them to have been beaten by soldiers as brave as were those whom the South put into the fie'd to fight. In no war recorded in history did braver men contend with each other than were those who fought in the oposing armies during our civil war. When they were able to perform such deeds 1m’ fighting against each other what would they not be able to do as comrades in arms fighting against the enemies of their reunited country ? Our up-town contemporary, the Gazette, can prate until it is tired of “‘stir- ring up the political slop-tub,”’ getting ‘‘up on the band wagon to stop the musie,”’ ‘“impartial charges,’ of people having ‘‘their livers blown clear across the street’’ and such other elegant expressions as it may chose to employ, but it won’ change the truth of what the WATCHMAN has said regarding the CORNELLY trial one jot. The WATCHMAN has never said that CORNELLY is innocent, nor does it presume to say so, but it insists that it was wrong to convict any man on the testimony of a character like FRANK GILLESPIE. Notwithstanding the Gazette's denial of it GILLESPIE was “maudlin drunk’’ on the streets of Belle- fonte on several occasions. Honorable peo- ple of the town will swear to this. Accord- ing to WEBSTER ‘‘the credit of a witness may be impeached by showing that his reputation for veracity is bad.’’ In addition to the direct sworn statements of residents of his own town to this effect, GILLESPIE lied more to his first boarding house mis- tress. while in Bellefonte, than Toy Pkp- PEE would ever have thought of doing, and most of the affidavits presented to estab- lish a character for him were negative in their nature, the deponents swearing that they had never heard his character discuss- ed. If GILLESPIE was doing right the night he stood on the Brant house steps with revolver drawn ‘‘on the gang who wanted to dohim” will the Gazette kindly explain why he disappeared so early the following morning and was not seen again until late that night, when it became known that he would not be prosecuted ? A man who is in the right rarely has cause to fear the con- sequences. —— ——The political suits in the eastern part of the State, in which former secretary of the Commonwealth FRANK REEDER, was mixed up, have all been dropped and the prosecution of the supposed bribers for WANAMAKERdropped. It behooves some- one to come out now and say that har- mony is once more restored in the Repub- lican ranks. tiem Edentified at Last. The Murdered Boy Found in the Car at Williamsport. After the body of the boy who was found dead in a horse car in the Williamsport yards Saturday, October 16, had been ex- amined by different parties from various sections of the country, it has at last been identified. The dead boy’s name was Hen- ry Daringer, and his address was at 113 Caldwell street. Pittsburg. The Williams- port Times says that the murdered hoy’s brother, Albert arrived from Pittsburg Monday evening. Yesterday morning he presented Chief Wise a letter of introduc- tion from the authorities of his native city. Chief Wise questioned the young man as to the clothes his brother wore and concerning any peculiar marks he might have on his body. The clothes were described perfect- ly before he saw them and his description tallied exactly with that of the hoy found. When Chief Wise, after bringing out the bag of clothes that were found on the body, took up the cap, Daringer exclaimed ‘‘that’s his cap,’ and instantly recognized the shoes, pantaloons, vest and coat in quick succession as they were taken from the bag. Although satisfied that the murdered hoy was his brother, he accompanied the chief to the city engineer’s room, where a proof, of a photograph taken at the time the re. mains were exhumed shortly after burial, was made. Here the last doubt, if any re- mained, was removed and he unhesitating- ly decided that he had found his brother. Owing to the condition of the remains, it was finally decided that the body should be allowed to rest in the Williamsport cemetery. Remedy for Poison Ivy. I have noticed in recent issues quite a number of receipts to kill Poison Ivy. Here is a simple and with most people a sure remedy ; Sweet spirits of nitre. Ap- ply whenever itching begins, or at least three or four times a day. I hope this may be a boon to some sufferer. ——>Subseribe for the WATCHMAN. Cartwright Monuments Dedicated Where Men of Pennsylvania Fought. The Survivors of One of the Great Battles of the War Gather on the Heroic Ground and Listen to Ad- dresses.—Governor Hastings Slightly lI. CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., November 14.— Governor Daniel H. Hastings, of Pennsyl- vania, and his staff, and Commander-in- Chief J. P. 8. Gobin, of the Grand Army of the Republic, with his staff arrived here yesterday morning on a special train and proceeded at once to Lookout Inn. Friday night and yesterday morning many special trains loaded with Pennsylvanians arrived, and there are now several thousand veter- ans here. The occurrences of Saturday were the regimental dedication of monu- ments. The survivors of the regiments en- gaged in the Chickamagua battle gathered around the monuments erected in their honor and dedicated them with appropriate exercises. These consisted principally of addresses, music and unveiling ceremonies. At 12 o’clock the monument of the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry, near Jay’s saw mill, was dedicated. The oration was delivered by Major James G. Vale. The Seventy- Ninth regiment monument, on Kelley's field, was dedicated at 1 o'clock. The or- ation was delivered by E. K. Martin. The Seventy-Seventh and Fifteenth Pennsylva- nia monuments were dedicated at 2:30 o'clock. At 1 o'clock the survivors of the Seventy- Eighth Pennsylvania held a reunion on Lookout mountain. To-day and Monday morning various other regiments will dedi- cate their monuments. Last night the re- ception at the Auditorium furnished enter- tainment for all the visitors. The Fifth regiment band, ordered to Chattanooga for the occasion, furnished the music. Governor Hastings, General Gobin and others delivered addresses. Governor Hastings was indisposed to- day and was not able to attend the two regimental dedications which occurred at the National Chickamauga park this after- noon. but had contracted a slight cold which it was feared might be aggravated by ventur- ing out into the rather chilly atmosphere that prevailed this afternoon and early evening. The monument of the Seventy-Eighth regiment is a handsome one and is located near the Kelley house a point where the hottest fighting in the famous battle oc- curred. The monument was formally dedicated at 3 o'clock this afternoon, Colo- nel Blakely, president of the Pennsylvania battlefield commission, presiding. The oration was delivered by Colonel R. P. Scott, president of the Seventy-Eighth regi- mer t organization. Nearly 200 survivors of the famous command were present. The Twenty-Sixth Pennsylvania battéry monu- ment was also dedicated this afternoon, Lieutenant Ritchey, of Pittsburg, heing the orator of the occasion. GLORIOUS DAY FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA VETERANS WHO WENT TO CHATTANOOGA. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 15.—This was a glorious day for the Pennsylvania veterans who came here to dedicate their monuments to the memory of their heroes in the great war, exemplified in their val- orous conduct on the fields of Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Orchard Knob and Lookout mountain. The day was as bright and balmy as an afternoon in May and there was not a thing’ to mar the perfect enjoyment of the occasion. The dedicatory ceremonies occurred at Orchard Knob, where a stand had been erected, and before 2 o'clock, the hour set for the ceremonies, the government reser- vation about the stand was crowded with old soldiers, their wives and children, fully 5.000 people being within sound of the voices of the speakers. On the stand sat the distinguished speak- ers and representatives from the local posts of the Grand Army of the Republic and N. B. Forest camp of Confederate Veterans. Hon. H. Clay Evans, General John P. Gobin, General Latta and other distin- guished visitors also occupied seats on the platform. The Fifth Urited States regi- ment band from McPherson barracks fur- nished the music. GENERAL ROBINSON PRESIDED. Brevet Brigadier General William A. Robinson, of Pittsburg, president of the state battlefield commission, presided, and opened the ceremonies by stating the ob- ject of the gathering. He called for prayer from Dr. Thomas H. Robinson, who deliv- ered a fervent invocation. At the conclusion of the prayer General Robinson introduced Colonel Archibald Blakely, of fhe Seventy-Eighth regiment,’ who representing the Pennsylvania battle- field commission, formally transferred the monuments erected by the state to the government. Following Colonel Blakely, Governor Hastings spoke, delivering the monuments to the national government. The govern- or’s address was frequently interrupted by applause. The monuments were then formally ac- cepted on the part of the national govern- ment and transferred to the national park commissioners by Hon. John Tweedle, chief clerk of the war department, repre- senting the secretary of war. ACCEPTED BY BOYNTON. General H. V. Boynton, for and on be- a — ree ee =. were received from the | Texas and North Carolina. Cure Hayes Mechesney Clapper Curtin, Cap. Heckel EEE Alberts, Mgr. Diehl Murray ~~ Randolph Ruble THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE FOOT-BALL TEAM OF 1897. half of the national park commission, for- mally accepted the monuments. At the conclusion of General Boynton’s address General Robinson introduced Hon. H. Clay Evans. United States commissioner of pensions. Mr. Evans arose amid ap- plause and spoke at some length. ADDRESSES BY PENNSYLVANIANS. Following Mr. Evans, Colonel Thomas J. Stewart. adjutant general to General Has- tings, and General Latta, of Pittsburg, made short addresses. General John P. Gobin, commander-in- chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, was called for. General Gobin proposed that instead of a speech he would ask the vast audience to sing ‘*‘America,’’ which was done with a vim. At the conclusion of the song the au- dience of General Gobin gave Governor Hastings the Chautauquan salute, with the waving of handkerchiefs, and the presiding officer declared the ceremonies closed. To-night the veterans enjoyed a camp fire at the City Auditorium prepared by the local Grand Army of the Republic and Confederate Veterans. The blue and gray mingled freely and ate out of the same baversack, drank from the same canteen and told yarns until the wee small hours. The Pennsylvania veterans will leave for their homes to-morrow, all delighted with the hospitality they have received from the people of this section. The National Body of the Grangers. Nicaragua Canal Approved—Adopted a Ceremony as to the Laying of Corner Stones—Refuse to Send a ! Delegate to the Women's Congress. HARRISBURG, November 17.—The na- tional grange to-day decided to adjourn finally to-morrow. Ecouraging reports state anasters-of The grange also decided to adopt a ceremony for the laying of corner stones of grange halls. | { The proposition to send a delegate to the The governor is not seriously ill, | women’s congress was rejected, and the Nicaraugua canal project was endorsed in a report from the committee on foreign relations. Secretary of agriculture Wilson made an informal address at the afternoon ses- sion. He congratulated the grange on the important position it occupies and the dignified manner in which the grangers discharge the responsiblities resting upon them. ‘*You recognize the need for education and object lessons in the sciences that relate to agriculture and asked for colleges, ex- periment stations and a department of agriculture that are all engaged in making plain the secrets of nature as they relate to climate and soil, plant and animal in their relation to mankind and his happi- ness,’’ he added, These instrumentalities succeed and are helpful as you are inter- ested in them or neglect them in the sev- eral States of our country. The scientific student of the farm is making household words and fireside talk of what heretofore has been an unknown tongue.” The department of agriculture is trying to help the individual and the State, where its arm is longer than theirs and thus facilities greater. markets, introducing new plants, * gather- ing facts for producers at home and abroad to the end that they may be better inform- ed regarding their work and the operations of those the world over with whom they compete. The time is auspicious for push- ing this work. President McKinley in- structs me to make the department useful to every locality in our broad land, sym- pathizing as he does with the toilers in the field and the forest, factory and mine and with all. homemakers where woman reigns as mother, daughter and wife the only correct unit of society and the sure safe- guard of the republic.”’ An address . was also made by John Hamilton, deputy secretary of agriculture, on farmers’ institute work in Pennsylvania. A resolution was adopted against the grange taking any part in co-operative enterprises and against gambling in fu- tures. The grange will close its sessions to-morrow. Foreign Wheat Shortage. Heavy Falling Off in Russia, France and Other Countries. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—The agricul- tural department has issued its monthly review of the foreign crop situation. Much attention is devoted to the grain crop of Russia, especially wheat, on account of its magnitude as a factor in the European sup- ply. The review says that all accounts agree in representing the wheat crop as deficient, but as to the extent there is much difference of opinion. The preliminary official figures for France show a reduction of 26 per cent below 1896, and 17 per cent below the average for 10 years. As for five years France and Russia produced 26 per cent of the world’s crop, the review says a heavy shortage in both countries would therefore be sufficient in itself to produce a very sensible effect on the world’s supply, independent of the short crops in Austria-Hungary, the Dan- ubian and Balkan countries and elsewhere, and the shortness of the last crop in India, Australia and Argentina. -—~Subscribe for the WATCHMAN.

CoUNCIL IN SESSION.—Only six mem- bers were present when council convened, last Monday night. the rather lengthy report of the Nuisance commitiee very little was done. good thing for council that one of its mem- bers employs a typewriter in the ordinary the chairman of the Nuisance committee had to write all those voluminous docu- ments off by pen many of the literary dis- | sertations on economical crossings, derelic- tions of the burgess, and dogs that bark at the moon, would never have had birth. | Among the real business transacted was the hearing of Daniel Snyder's request for the extension of the water service from ' Curtin street to his property on north Al- legheny street. mittee for investigation. | F. W. Crider was present and asked that council take the new public huild- ing off his hands, as it had been com- pleted and ready for occupancy by the bor- | ough. Council was not quite ready to act | : on such a request and held it over fora special meeting on Tuesday night. After | the adjournment the members went down and inspected the new building. | The street lighting question was taken | up again and Mr. Crider appeared for the Edison company to offer forty arc lights at $100 each per annum. Some of the men- | bers deeming this exorbitant voted to lay ; the matter on the table for further consid- i eration until the next meeting. The loca- tion of a new arc light at the intersection | of Bishop and Penn streets was decided | upon. J. M. Dale Esq., appeared as counsel for L. T. Munson and notified council that unless something is done to the north Al- legheny street sewer to prevent its overflow into Munson’s cellar suit for damages will be brought. William Kreamer’s request for tax exon- eration was referred to the Finance com- mittee. Mr. Kreamer has been ill for a long time and unable to.work and on these grounds has asked for exoneration. After approving bills to the amount of $464.77 council adjourned. The adjourned meeting of Monday night reconvened on Tuesday night and upon the recommendation of architect Cole the new _ public building was accepted from F. W. Crider, the builder. The Street committee , Was instructed to lay a vitrified brick pave- ; ment in front of the new building and also to investigate the condition of the sewer at the Munson property, on north Allegheny street, and if necessary to put a trap in there. The rest of the time of the meeting was taken up discussing the changes that moving into the the new building will ne- cessitate. : : Burgess Naginey appeared before coun- cil to refute the charges of dereliction made by the chairman of the Nuisance committee, Col. Shortlidge, the evening before. Col. Shortlidge had magnified im- aginary short comings of the burgess, assert- ting that he had neglected his duty in not stopping the barking of dogs in several quar- ters of the town, particularly in the vicinity of the glass works, where Mrs. Cornelius Bland was sick and disturbed by them. The Colonel’s attack on the burgess was rather more caustic than the occasion warranted but the borough's chief magistrate must have made him regret his hasty language when he answered him with such courtesy as marked his communication of Tuesday evening. The uncomfortableness of Col. Shortlidge’s position is readily seen when it is known that one of the dogs, that caused the disturbance, belongs to McCal- mont & Co., his own firm, and the other to one of his employees. . It will be several weeks before council’s chamber and the Logan engine company are moved into the new house. >be —The train that ran the late Joseph Fox down, on last Saturday, was the B. E.

Besides the orchestra Miss Emma Haeker, prima donna soprano, and Mr. Karl Mar- shall White, reader, are with the company and contribute to the splendid program that will be rendered. Of this organiza- tion the Columbus, Ohio, Press recently said : ."‘The selections rendered were all master- pieces, and the one deserving the most praise was, no doubt, the ‘‘Largo,” by Handel. This has been heard here by the Boston festival and symphony orchestra in other years, but was never rendered better than by the ladies. Mr. White took the audience by his inimitable readings.” This will doubtless be the finest attrac- tion of the course. Tickets are now on sale at Parrish’s. $1 for the season or 50cts. for a single admission. Howard. Mrs. Elizabeth Parsons, of Altoona is visiting her sister Mrs. H. A. Moore.
