Hastings has been prevailed upon to accept the position of judge in the Philadelphia Press contest for the best definition of a home. The contest was among the women readers of the Press and Mrs. Hastings will have over a thous- and letters to read before she can decide which one of the contestants has won the $10 gold piece. The Senior assembly at The Penn- sylvania State College, on Friday night, proved a very delightful dance, though the unpleasant weather kept the attendance down toa very small party.

The Academy boys were greatly disappointed, as they had sold a number of tickets and advertised the game extensively. The Williamsporters claim to be the champion High school team of the State and as the Academy team has been winning from very strong opponents a fine game was in anticipation. Mr. Charles Harvey Hile, formerly of Bellefonte, was married to Miss Georgia Goodnow Doyle, of Washington, D. C., on Saturday, November twenty-seventh. They will be at home, at Brookline, Mass., one of the prettiest of Boston suburbs, after December 12th Harvey was graduated from the Pennsylvania State College in 1892 and while a student there devoted considerable time to literary work, all of which he has dropped now that he is su- perintendent of outside work for the West End traction company of Boston. Was It A FAKE Howrp-Up ?— Milton Bickle, a 17 year old son of Isaac Bickle, noon, on Wednesday, in a great excite- ment and ‘told the authorities that he had been held up, while driving from the home of his brother, Lyman Bickle, near Zion, to this place. The hold-up occurred on the main road to Zion, about 2} miles east of Bellefonte and near the home of James Simmonds. The boy says he was driving along the road with his trunk in the conveyance, when two men came out of the woods and ordered him to stop. When he refused they brandished a revolver and yelled “Money or your life.”” Even this did not stop him and as he leaned forward to get his whip, the taller of the two fired at him, the ball passing through the left breast of his coat and his underclothing, but did not touch his body. He stopped then and handed over his pocket hook containing a little more than $15. Bickle described his assailants as being a tall man, with a full beard, cap, ragged coat and shot gun. The other one was short, wore a light colored slouch hat, blue blouse and overalls and carried a rifle. Both were white and unmasked. He says they ran down the road afterwards and turned back into the woods. Officer Mullen accompanied young Bickle back to the scene, but most careful inquiry failed to find a trace of such men as had been described. The story looks very much like the work of an active imagina- tion and is not very generally credited, though no one seems to understand what incentive the boy might have had to make up such a story. Had they been tramps they would not have been dressed as they were, nor would they have had guns. Had they been residents of the county such a description ought to have located them easily. Had they wanted to kill him they would have shot with one of their guns, and not a revolver. ee GP men. A PRETTY TRIBUTE TO AN HONORED MAN.—When associate judge Corlis A. Faulkner stepped down from the bench, in the court house, last evening, his last reg- ular official service to Centre county had been finished and the seat he vacated left vacant forever, unless the constitution of the State is changed and the manner of reg- ulating the judiciary. He is the last associate judge for the county and when his term actually expires, January 1st, 1898, there will be no one to take his place and the president judge will preside alone. During judge Faulkner's six year’s tenure of office he was a dignifi- ed, honorable official who commanded the respect of ever hahitue of the court house. He was neither ‘‘a severe,’’ nor ‘“‘a sour- complexioned man’’ hence Walton most certainly would have called him a com- petent judge. The esteem in which hes held in Belle- fonte, where he has made so many friends during his regular official visits, found most effective expression, on Wednesday even- ing, when a banquet in his honor was given at Ceader’s. Fifty-five of our most reputable citizens, representatives of every trade and profession, were there because they admire judge Faulkner. A banquet of nine courses was served and while the wines and cigars were receiving their at- tention toasts were responded to by presi- dent judge Love, J. C. Meyer Esq., Jno. M. Dale Esq., W. E. Gray Esq., E. R. Chambers Esq., Hon. James Schofield, Wm. C. Heinle. Esq. and Thos. H. Harter. All of the re- sponses teemed with the admirable charae- ter of the guest of honor and when judge Love paid his tribute to his friend and co- adjutor itseemed as if nothing more could have been said in compliment of a man. ee A NEEDLE AND THREAD PAsS THROUGH A CAT’s HEAD.—The pretty maltese cat that makes its home at Larimer’s grocery, on south Allegheny street, is the most talked of feline about this place now-a- days. It had always been a playful little animal and usually made friends with every customer of the store, but recently a great change came over its good nature. Instead of playing about from morning 'till night, as had been its custom, the cat became fretful and cross. No one was able to explain the sudden change in its gentle disposition, until a few days ago a lady entered the store to make some pur- chases. While her orders were being filled she picked the cat up to fondle it, but no sooner had she stroked the soft fur on its head than she dropped it with the exclama- tion: “Why this cat has a tooth coming through its jaw.”” One of her fingers had been quite severely pricked as she passed it over the cat’ssmooth coat. An investigation was made and it was found that the point of a needle was protruding through the skin and when it was drawn out nearly a yard of thread was drawn after it. The cat had evidently gotten the needle into its mouth while playing with the thread and the poor little creature had to suffer without being able to explain what ailed it. It is in its usual good temper now that the cause of its pain is removed. oe A MILESBURG MAN KILLED at MIL- ToN.—Harry Shope, aged 23 years, eldest son of Laurie Shope, of Boggs township, was run over by a Reading train, at West Milton, at 1 o'clock, last Saturday moin- ing. Though taken to the Williamsport hospital at once he lived only a few hours. Both legs were horribly mangled and his head was cut in several places. His body, was brought home that day and interment was made in the Messiah cemetery on Monday afternoon. of Dick’s Run, came to Bellefonte about | ——The new creamery and cheese fac- tory for Jersey Shore issaid to be a sure go. ab ——Another test well is to bedrilled for oil and gas in Gallagher township, Clinton county. *oe -——Patrick Kane, the Renovo banker, is going to build a new opera house in Lock Haven next summer.

A widow and five little children survive him. He was born at Matternville, this county, August 22nd, 1857, and at the time of his death was aged 40 years, 3 months and 7 days. His early life was spent principally in the vicinity of the place of his birth, his occupation being that of a farmer. Removing from Centre county, a number of years ago, he became a resident of Sinking valley, where he resided until he became a citizen of Tyrone, seven years ago. Deceased was very well- known in Bellefonte, having covered this territory for the Buxton notion house of Springfield. j >be PHILIPSBURG HAS PROMISED To COME. —The Philipsburg foot-ball eleven, the only team that defeated the Academy boys this season, has promised to play here to-morrow at 2:30 o’clock. The tickets that were sold for the Williamsport High school game for last Saturday will be accepted for admission. ata JOHN WOLF STRICKEN WITH APO- PLEXY. — Former county commissioner John Wolf, one of the best known citizens of Miles township, was stricken with apo- plexy, while on the way home from church last Sunday. He was near Rebersburg when stricken and was carried into the home of J. C. Morris, where he is still ly- ing in a critical condition. A SLICK RASCAL CATCHES A FEW VIc- TIMS IN BELLEFONTE.—About ten days ago a neatly dressed, smooth faced, well educated young man called on a number of ladies in Bellefonte and interested them in the use of agate-ware for cooking and kitchen utensils. He carried a profusely illustrated catalogue and was very glib of tongue. His ‘‘blither”’ had its fruit in a number of orders which were accompanied with the cash and then the young man dis- appeared and has not been heard of since ; neither has the agate- ware. It is not a reflection on the gullibility of Linn and Curtin street women to say that they were the only victims of the swindle, for the fellow displayed his exceptional cunning by selecting two such fine resi- dence streets and then announcing. that he would sell his wares in no other portion of the town. ooo HAD RELATIVES LIVING IN THIS COUN- TY.—William Adams, the ferryman who was drowned at the Montgomery slip, on the West Branch, last Monday morning, was a relative of the Bartleys and Smiths in this county. He was a nephew of Mrs. Henry Bartley, of Willowbank street, Bellefonte, and it has been only about two weeks since his mother and sister were here on a visit. g Adams was 39 years old and leaves a widow with three children, all girls. He was a painter by trade but had been farm- ing at Montgomery, while acting as ferry- man. The morning he lost his life the river was high and swift. It was about 5:30 o’clock and he had some trouble in getting his hoat started from the slip, but when it finally did move out into the stream Adams did not realize that it was under way and walked right off the rear end into the water. He was dressed very heavy, with an overcoat, rubber coat and rabber boots and all that his two passengers heard was his shout: “I’m drowning.” It is supposed that his heavy clothing bore him right down, hecause he was a very strong swimmer. I ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS FIRE AT BEECH CREEK.—Beech Creek is considerably ex- cited over a number of undoubtedly incen- diary fires that have occurred in and about that place recently. Several weeks ago the large barn on the Berry farm, near there, was burned in a very mysterious way and at midnight, Tuesday, the store and saddlery of H. H. Berry & Son, in the town, were destroyed. It is the general be- lief that these fires have been spite work. The particulars of the fire are as follows : At twelve o’clock Tuesday night fire was discovered in the two story frame building of Richard R. Berryhill, on Main street, Beech Creek. The interior of the Berry- hill two story store room was all ablaze, and no one attempted to save anything in it. The men who were first on the scene then directed their energy to getting to a place of safety the stock of H. H. Berry & Son, shoe and harness makers whose building adjoined that of Mr. Berryhill on the left. Most of the stock in this building was saved. In a very few minutes the build- ing in which the fire started was a roaring mass of flames, so that the residence and store of Geo. D. Hess and the Gould house were in immediate danger and were protect- ed with difficulty. Their untiring efforts along saved the large residence in which Mr. Berryhill lives, and which was not more than 20 feet from his wagon shop. istimated loss on Berryhill, $2,000, in- sured. Berry loses $1,200 and had no insurance. DIED AT A RIPE OLD AGE.—Mrs. Rachel Reifsnyder died at the home of her daugh- ter, Mrs. Ambruster, at Farmer’s Mills, on last Sunday. She was 84 years, 4 months and 1 day old and had been a resident of Centre . county since 1841. Mrs. Reif- snyder was a Goss and was born in War- wick township, Lancaster county, in 1808, having married Willlam Reifsnyder in 1830. © Nine children blessed this union, five of whom are living. They are Mrs. Mina Evans, Potters Mills ; Mrs. G. Am- bruster, Farmer’s Mills ; Mila Leah, and J. H. Reifsnyder Esq. and William H., of Millheim. Burial was made at Millheim, on Wed- nesday morning, services having been con- ducted in the Lutheran church by Revs. Rearick and Wolfe. fi ll li Louis DAGGETT KILLED.—Louis Dag- gett Esq., of Tioga, the esteemed father of W. L. Daggett, proprietor of the Bush house, in this place, was accidentally killed yesterday morning. He had recently purchased a timber tract in Tioga county and was going over it to examine it when a limb from a tree fell and struck him on the head. He lived only a few moments afterwards and no one but the workmen were about him when he died. Mr. W. L. Daggett left here, Wednesday morning, to go home for a visit and fortu- nately saw his father before the sad fatality occurred. He was 83 years old. I I I AUSTIN SCHENCK.—On Thursday morn- ing, at about 2 o’clock, Mr. Austin Schenck, of Howard, died from the effects of stomach troubles with which he has been suffering for some time past. Deceased was born in 1862 and was 25 years old. The funeral services were held on Saturday morning and interment was made in the Schenck cemetery. Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Schenck, both deceased. He leaves to mourn his loss, one brother, John F. Schenck, and two sisters, Mrs. Irvin Lucas and Mrs. Michael Holter. li ll ll ——DMiss Kate Toner died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Daniel Callahan, near Centre Hall, on Monday morning, Novem- ber 29th. She had suffered for years with convulsions and they finally caused her death. Deceased was a daughter of Wm. and Bridget Toner, of this place, and was 46 years, 8 months and 4 days old. Her remains were brought to the home of her brother Patrick, on Logan street, on Tues- day evening, and interment was made from St. John’s Catholic church, on Wednesday morning. ll ll I ——Mrs. Anna Parker, aged over 81 years, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Gill, in Philipsburg, last Sunday evening. She had been ill but a short time with pneumonia. Deceased was born in Ireland and when she came to this country, in 1867, she located at Bald Eagle Furnace, but later moved to Houtzdale, thence to the place where she died. Two sons and one daughter survive her. ——DMiles Towns, one of the pioneers of the lumber business on the West Branch, died at Lock Haven, on Saturday, from the effects of an overdose of laudanum. De- ceased was 72 years old and was a native of New York. He began lumbering, in Williamsport, in 1850. ll ll ll ——Typhoid fever caused the death of Mrs. David Wetzel, at Salona, on Tuesday morning. Deceased was only 38 years old and is survived by a husband and three children. Burial was made at Cedar Hill yesterday afternoon. = — THE SALONA STATION RoBBED.—Late Wednesday night robbers broke into the Central R. R. of Penna., station, at Salona, and secured about $1.50 in money. The desk in the office was broken open, but nothing else was disturbed. ote PRACTICING MEDICINE AGAIN. — In another column of this issue appears the professional announcement that Dr. Edith Harris Schad has opened an office at her home, No. 47 east Linn street, and has re- sumed the practice of medicine. Dr. Har- ris is a homeopathist and met with marked success in the profession while practicing. AE Brit ® GrorGE H. ADAMS.—Tuesday evening Dec. 7th, George Adams will appear at Garman’s in ‘‘Protecto’’ the great trick, fairy pantomime production. Mr. Adams is assisted by his brother, Jas. R. Adams, and a very clever company of players, in- troducing comedy, vaudeville and panto- mine. The following is from the Pitts- burg Leader of Nov. 16th. A combination of comedy, vaudeville and pantomime is offered at the East End theatre for the balance of the week. The entertainment is furnished by the George H. Adams troupe,, and, taken all in all, it is a very creditable performance. A laughable one-act comedy, entitled ‘‘A Country Terror,” in which George H. Ad- ams, Tonina Adams, Lily Adams and W. Leonhart participate, opens the bill. Dur- ing the continuance of the farce many comical tricks, funny sayings, several songs, trios and quartet singing were intro- duced. The vaudeville feature of the pro- gram starts off with DeLow, a very clever slack wire performer. The latter also per- forms some very difficult work on the trap- ese. James R. Adams and Miss Becky Taylor in a comedy act entitled, ‘‘After the Election.”” It is decidedly clever and up to date. Id O’Connell and Dick Mack do a very clever eccentric Irish act entitled, ‘The Battle of Cow’s Run.”’ Incidentally, they crack many funny jokes, and keep the audience in a good humor by lively acrobatic knock-about work. The enter- tainment concludes with James R. Adams’ laughable fairy pantomime in seven scenes, ‘‘Protecto.”’ News Purely Personal. | go through with that part of their annual cycle, | | but not content with this work ithas jumped in- —Mr. and Mrs. Edward Irvin, of Tyrone, spent | to the ranks of monstrosities by bringing forth a Sunday in Bellefonte. second set.

He is wanted to captain and manage the Bradford base-ball team next season, but says it is too far ahead to decide just what he will do. —Mrs. Wister Morris, her two grand-children, Margaret and Morris Wood, and her neice and nephew, Mary and Edmund Blanchard, who came up from Philadelphia to enjoy Thanksgiving with Mrs. Blanchard and the other members of their family, returned to Philadelphia, on Monday. —M. D. Snyder, of State College, was in town Tuesday getting some legal matters straightened up. He reported that old Mrs. Krumrine, of that place, is in an extremely precarious condition and that it was not thought that she would live over Monday night. She is suffering with stom- ach trouble. —Mrs. William Crawford, of Coleville, while in town doing some Saturday shopping, dropped into this office and made a pleasant little call, her chief object being to represent her husband, our good friend “Billy,” who has made up his mind that printers have to live too, and is contributing his share towards their support. —Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kern left for Sunbury, on Wednesday afternoon, there to make their future home. Frank severed his connection with the Bellefonte steam laundry to go into the same busi- ness for himself and we hope that the location he has selected will prove both a profitable and pleasant one for him. —With his weather eye heavenward H. M. Krebs, the hustling Pine Grove carriage builder, dropped into town, on Monday morning, we sup- pose to look up business in this place. It looked very much like snow on Monday, and we thought he was just wondering how many sleighs he will have left from his big stock, when spring comes again. We hope none. —Mrs. Mary Ann Johnston, of Linn street, re- turned from Beaver Falls, on Tuesday afternoon. She had been out there visiting her son George and brought her cute little grand-daughter, Jean- ette, home with her. That Miss will at once set up an absolute monarchy over the Johnston and Aiken’s homes and it will very likely continue as long as she stays here. * - —Dr. Thos. Rothrock, of Eagleville, with his son Charles, was in town during the fore part of the week attending court. What tue doctor doesn’t know about hay fever isn’t worth know- ing, for he has made a specialty of its treatment and has several good cures on the market. He is somewhat of a geologist, too, and finds a deal of interest in nature’s rock formations. —Mr. James Carner, of Hublersburg, was in town, on Wednesday afternoon, apparently not much alarmed at the prospect of having to drive home past the spot where the two highwaymen held Milton Bickel up that morning. Mr. Carner is one of the county’s farmers who is actively in- terested in education and gives much of his at- tention and thought to perfecting the schools of Walker township, being one of the directors. —Mrs. George N. Van Dyke, nee Carrie Noll, isin from Pittsburg enjoying her first visit home since her marriage. Her honeymoon is evidently the ideal kind, for she is the very picture of happi- ness and contentment. The other daughter of the family, Birdie, is recovering so satisfactorily from the serious operation she endured in the Medico-Chirurgical hospital, some weeks ago, that her mother, Mrs. John Noll, returned home from Philadelphia Tuesday. —Tom Morris, ¥ho has had charge of his fath- er's interests here, i. e. employees, lime kilns, farms, ete. for eight years, has turned his back on Bellefonte and gone back to Tyrone, his native heath. Robert, his brother, will take his place here, but whether he will fill it remains to be seen, for Tom was such a satisfactory listener for the club's story tellers, a generous giver to most beggars, a man of affairs and, withal, so good na- tured that he who would attempt it all must he mighty clever. —Mr. George H. Hile, of DuBois, was in town on Wednesday. He comes over occasionally on business and pleasure, for he knows most every- one here, having been employed at Crider's lum- er mill for a long time, but there is no telling how long lis acquaintance with the people will last, if he doesn’t stop talking about Bellefonte being so dry. With a big spring, a brewery, seven or eleven pumps and cisterns, a few milkmen, five bars and a wholesale beer establishment it must be a fellow with one of those perpetual thirsts who can call Bellefonte dry. —George N. Brandon, of Carlisle, is in town for a few days. He is not in the best of health and probably a little Bellefonte air and living will do him good. George is still enthusiastic over music, but has practically given up the piano for the pipe organ. His latest fad was a band, but a physician put an end to that musical dream, for it was injuring his health. He has an opera on hand now, which he will soon produce in Carlisle with a professional and amateur caste and an orchestra of forty pieces. It is the opera Fantine, from Victor Hugo's novel, that they are preparing for. . —Col John A. Woodward, of Howard, spent a few hours of several days, last week, in this place perfecting his arrangements for the farmers’ institutes to be held at Spring Mills and Hublers- burg week after next; full programs being pub- lished on page 7 of this issue. Col. Woodward is a very busy man these days, for besides looking after his own farm he has charge of the building of the new College barn, at State College, and is manager of the 2nd Pennsylvania district for farmers’ institutes. It embraces twenty-one counties, in which seventy-eight days of institute will have to be held from Nov. 20th, 1897, ’till March 17th, 1898, and he will have to attend every session to make set speeches or enter whatever discussions that might arise. —Walile in town, last Friday afternoon, Dr, J. Y. Dale, of Lemont, told of a rather singular freak of nature that has attracted no little attention at that place recently. Itis a mountain ash that is growing in the grounds about his pretty home and, as if to set all naturalists to wondering, it came out in full flower and leaf a few weeks ago. The tree is about ten inches in diameter atthe ground and had already blossomed and developed leaves when well regulated trees are supposed to THE REGULARLY EMPLOYED oF BELLE- FONTE.—Col. Dunham has figured out that Bellefonte ought not to be so hard up after all, since there are easily 1,300 persons at steady employment in and about this place. We don’t know whether the colo- nel included himself or not, but if he didn’t he certainly should be given credit while compiling the following, so we will mark his number up to 1,301 dur- ing that time. ; He says that various business enterprises employ men as follows : “A. G. Morris, in his lime business, has on his pay rolls 250 persons ; the Co-operative glass works, 60 persons ; scale works, 42 ; Phoenix planing mill, 21 ; MceCalmont & Co.’s lime-kilns, 40 ; Bellefonte Central railroad, 30 ; P. B. Crider & Co., planing mill and lumber yard, 25; Central railroad of Pennsylva- nia, 41 ; Bald Eagle and Lemont railroads, 16 ; Snow Shoe railroad, 6 ; electric light, 6 ; two flouring mills, 8; Fuel & Supply company, 6 ; Brockerhoff and Bush hotels, 21 ; gas works, 6 ; four printing offices, 23; Linn & McCoy's chain and iron works, 30. Most of these do their trading here. There are fully as many more persons employed in the various trades, clerks, laborers, Etc., making over 1,300 persons finding steady employment for wages out of a total popu- lation of 4,000.’ i eben MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- pban’s court clerk, G. W.Rumberger, dur- ing the past week. Wm. E. Green and Miss Kate Miller, both of Bellefonte. Samuel B. Wasson and Mary R. Glenn, both of Lemont, Pa. Wm. S. Williams and Mary P. Miller, both of Lemont. Charles H. Watson and Finis Vivian Meek, both of Snow Shoe. Franklyn - Kline and Minnie Houser, both of College township. Franklyn Walker and Mollie E. Adams, both of Howard township. te ype MARRIED.—A¢ the home of D. D. Halde- man, in this place, on Tuesday afternoon, November 9th, by Rev. C. H. Goodling, W. H. Miller, of Lock Haven, was married to Miss Jennie Yearick, of College town- ship, this county. Miss Ida Haldeman, was the bride’s maid and William Bittner, of Lock Haven, was the groom’s best man. A dainty wedding supper was served after the ceremony. . — 9s A MILLHEIM JOKE.—The Journal says two girls were stopped on the pike last week by the toll-gate keeper who demand- ed toll. They asked how much it was and were informed that for a man and horse it was eight cents. They curtly replied : ‘‘We are two girls and a mare—gip, Jen- nie,”’ and away they went. Notice. On and after Nov. 15th, 1897, the Phoenix Flouring Mill of this place, previously operated by George W. Jackson & Co., will be operated by the Phoenix Milling Co., composed of W. Fred Reynolds, J. IL. Montgomery and Curtis Y. Wagner. Mr. Wagner, who for several years has con- ducted Rock Mills, has charge of th manufacturing and a high class of flour and feed is assured. The new company solicits a continuance of the patronage which the mill enjoyed, under its former management and will en- deavor to give entire satisfaction to the trade. 42-44-tf PHOENIX MILLING CO.
