Condo, of Millheim, is among the delegates from Centre county to the United Evangelical conference now in session a Hughesville. —Ten inch ice is being cut on Wea- ver’s dam, near Wolf’s Store. On Monday William Haines hauled a load that weigh- ed 5,6831bs. from that place to Millheim and used only two horses, —Some interesting developments con- cerning the proposed Bellefonte and Clear- field rail-road are promised by the 15th inst. We hope they will be such as will guarantee the building of the road. Paul Fortney, son of postmaster D. F. Fortney, having passed a satisfactory examination, has been appointed to teach the grammar school in Bellefonte during the illness of Miss Anna McBride. Over seven hundred people paid 10 cents admission to the Lock Haven mid- winter fair, on Saturday night. James Dobbins Hawley, the clever reciter of Whitcomb Riley stories, was the feature that night. H. M. Confer, of Howard, killed a porker, on last Friday, that dressed 775 Ibs. "The hog was 9] feet overall and from it 200 Ibs of lard were rendered. One of the flitches weighed 90° Ibs, and the other 96 lbs. Reports from the sales for which the WarcHMaN did the advertising are most flattering. There was a great crowd at commissioner Heckman’s sale yesterday, good prices prevailed and everything was sold. In last week’s issue we stated that James L. Rote and Wm. Poorman, of Coleville, would start for the Klondyke on the 7th. Mr. Poorman has changed his mind and will not go, but Mr. Rote will start just as soon as he can secure a suit- able companion. ——The extensive improvements about | the Phoenix flouring mills in this place will not be completed before April 1st. In addition to the new 60,000 bushel elevators all the buildings are to be repainted and a drive-way built along all sides of the plant. ——To-night State, for the first time in the history of her athletics, will have an opportunity of meeting Cornell at home, The basket ball team from Ithaca will play in the Armory at State College to-night and a great game is expected.

When put in opera- tion at that place it will be known as the Spring Mills planing mill Co., Lim., some residents of that place having bought an interest in the business. Harvey Confer, the former owner, will manage it. —— Detective Geo. W. Vernes, who was here working on the armory, court house and electric light fires, has been transferred from Pittsburg to Cleveland, where he has been made the head of the Perkins’ Union detective agency. If he has to superintend a lot of rascals like Gillespie his position will hardly be coveted by respectable men. ——W. H. Hepburn, who lives east of Bellefonte, was in town, on Saturday, with a big pumpkin story. According to Bill’s version he has a sweet pumpkin that is two years and five months old and still as sound as the day he pulled it and another one from the vine. The other old one was cut up to make Christmas pies and right good ones it made. ——Theedore Haupt left his home in this place, on last Wednesday, and no one seems to know whither he has gone. It is rumored that he started to work his way to the Klondyke, but the report cannot be verified, though it might be true. He is a cigar maker by trade ; a strong, active fel- low who could get through if anybody else could. He has left a wife and family of children behind. A Goon Op MAN GONE To His RE- WARD.—The venerable Michael Fishburn, of Benner township, one of the Kindliest old gentlemen, and conscientious, died at his home one and one-half miles south of Bellefonte on Sunday evening. Though 70 years, 2 months and 14 days old Mr. Fishburn, assisted by his nephew, Win- field Summers, was able to attend to the work on his farm up until last Wednesday, when he began to suffer seriously from a rupture. The day before he had complain- ed of feeling unwell, but Wednesday morn- ing got up and undertook to start his day’s work. It was too much for him and he went back to bed and sank rapidly un- til death released him from suffering. Deceased was a member of the Reformed church and was a thrifty, honorable old gentleman who regarded his home with almost a sacred love and rarely spent any of his time elsewhere. He is survived by his widow, two brothers, Henry and Wil- liam, and one sister, Mrs. Hezekiah Hoy. Interment was made at Shiloh on Wed- nesday afternoon, services having been conducted at his late home by Rev. Eisen- berg, of the Centre Hall Reformed church. li ll fl Mgrs. EMMA C. DALE.—The death of Mrs. Emma C. Dale occurred at her home, at Dale’s Mills, near Pleasant Gap, on Mon- day afternoon at 1 o’clock. She had been sick for scarcely more than a week when the rheumatic fever, with which she had been suffering, settled in her brain and caused death. Deceased was 38 years old and had been a life long member of the Lutheran church. She was a daughter of Mr. Amos Clemson, of Rock Springs. Mrs. Dale is survived Dy her husband, her daughter Grace, 10 years old, and three brothers and one sister. The latter are D. M. Clemson, of Pittsburg, president of the gas department of the Carnegie steel and iron company; Frank H. Clemson, resident manager for the same company at Benore; C. C. Clemson, book-keeper for the Carlim coal company at Williamsburg, and Miss Ella Clemson, Baileyville. Her remains were interred in the Lutheran cem- etery at Pleasant Gap yesterday morning, Rev. G. W. Lesher, of Boalsburg, having officiated. ll ll li Diep IN WIscoNsIN.—On last Thurs- day, February 24th, Joseph Reesman, of Sharon, Wisconsin, died in the 82nd year of his -age. Mr. Reesman was born near Millheim, Centre county, and spent the early part of his life on a farm near Mackeyville. For five years during the civil war he was interested with his broth- er-in-law, Robert Mann, in the ax business at Mill Hall. He never recovered from the shock of his wife’s death, which oc- curred a few years ago, bub continued to grieve for her as if life had lost its charms. Mr. Reesman leaves a handsome fortune to his heirs. li i I ——Heart disease was the cause of the very sudden death of W. W. Caldwell, at Salona, early Sunday morning. He had retired in his usual good health, hut shortly after mid-night was awakened by a strange sensation in his heart. He got up and went down stairs calling his daughter to assist him, but before she could get him into a chair he had expired. Deceased was a veteran of the 7th Penna. Cav. and was 58 years old. He is survived by three children. Burial was made at Cedar Hill, on Tuesday afternoon, the pall bearers hav- ing been James Conley, Wilson Miller, I. C. Stoner, Robert Krape, George Krape and P. H. Best. Nearly all the pall bearers served with the deceased in the Seventh cavalry. I I I —Paschal H. Fairlamb, died at his home in West Philadelphia, on Friday, Feb. 25th, in his 49th year. He was a dealer in coal, lime and builder’s supplies, with yards on the Schuylkill river front, and was a 32nd degree mason, having been connected with Lu Lu temple, Mystic Shrine, in that city. Mr. Fairlamb was the husband of Mrs. Ada Weaver Fairlamb, who will be remembered as the eldest daughter of the late Geo. W. Weaver, of this place. ll I ll —Benj. Harrison Reed, the 10 yea old son of John Reed, of Coleville, died at the home of his parents, on Tuesday night. The boy had suffered for nearly a year with heart trouble, but was thought to be on the way to a permanent recovery when the disease became acute and killed him. His remains were buried in the new iron worker’s cemetery at Valentine's iron works, yesterday afternoon. Revs. Me- Ilnay and Wren officiated. li fl ll —John Spanogle, aged 73 years, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Wesley Me- Kinney, at Port Matilda, last Saturday. Burial was made on Monday. -. A SUCCESSFUL OPERATION.—Miss Anna McBride, teacher of the grammar school in the South ward school building, under- went an operation for appendicitis, last Saturday morning. She suffered a slight attack last August but recovered from it and had been teaching regularly until Monday of last week when she became se- riously ill. An operation was deemed necessary and Dr. Deaver, of Philadelphia, was sent for. He performed it, assisted by Dr. Dr. R. G. H. Hayes. The operation was highly successful, the appendix was found to be in a diseased con- dition, perforated and an abscess formed, but Miss McBride's health was so delicate that her recovery has not been quite as rapid as her physician had hoped for. She had a very satisfactory day yesterday. panei —D. B. Dunkle, of Williamsport, has bought the old iron about the burned Rock mills. He will ship it from here. iis —The Cornell University basket ball team will play at State College to-night. The game will be called at 7.45 sharp. —— ——To-morrow James L.

The sale will begin at 10 o'clock in the morn- ing and will be well attended. ——Governor and Mrs. Hastings and Miss Hastings, Senator and Mrs. Cochrane and Miss Cochrane, and attorney general and Mrs. McCormick left Harrisburg, last evening, for a trip of three weeks in Califor- nia. a CHESTER SPRINGS AND COL. CURTIN. — The annual report of the Pennsylvania commission of soldiers’ orphan schools is just out and through the courtesy of Col. Austin Curtin, superintendent of the Chester Springs school, we have one before us. It is a very interesting publication and contains a complete resume of the work that is being done at the four schools in which 945 orphan children are being trained. In view of the fact that Col. Curtin is its superintendent and that Miss Daisy Bris- bin has just left here to assume her new duties as an instructor in the school, the one at Chester Springs is naturally the most interesting to us. There they have 268 scholars, 21 of whom will complete their terms this year. For the year end- ing May 31st, 1897, it cost $28,784.19 to maintain it and though it had within six- teen of the largest number of children to care for its expenses were $7.36 per child lower than the school with the lowest number of children, which was the Har- ford, with 105 less than Chester Springs. Such a report must certainly be very gratifying to Col. Curtin and his friends. One of the full page illustrations in the re- port shows a portion of the grounds at Chester Springs and ‘old Doc.,” the Col- onel’s famous sorrel horse, is posing with as much military dignity as if he were honoring the division staff at a grand re- view of the Guard. - ————ee ANOTHER Boy SENT TO THE REFORMA- TORY FOR CATTLE STEALING.—On Wed- nesday sheriff Cronister took Dave Camp- bell to the Huntingten reformatory where he will serve a term for having been im- plicated in the stealing of several cattle from the fields of Jacob Woodring, a farmer near Port Matilda, one night last Sep- tember. He makes the third boy con- victed for having helped steal those cattle, which they sold to dairyman McClain, at Bald Eagle. Edward Woodring was convicted at the last November term of court and sent to the reformatory. Shortly afterward Ardell Campbell was arrested at Bellwood and was tried at the January term. He got two years and three months in the peni- tentiary. At his trial he implicated his brother Dave, who was then arrested and brought to jail. Not wishing to prolong his time in jail he pleaded guilty at a ses- sion of argument court and was promptly sent to the reformatory. The way they have heen hustling the boys off for this cattle stealing job is evi- dence that it is considered almost as grave a crime in the East as it is in the West. leet at Wity Nor AN OLD TIME CELEBRATION IN BELLEFONTE ?—It wasn’t the weather that brought the matter to mind, but we have heard considerable talk of it and want to ask your opinon as to the advisability of having a glorious old time Fourth of July celebration in Bellefonte. There hasnt been a big disturbance in the town since Al Dale got the post-office and it be- hooves us to have a general shake up before our bones get so dry and dusty that they might collapse at the crack of a cannon or cast no shadow in the glare of a red light. Let us have a good old time, one of those times when everybody bumps into everybody else, when fire-water and fire- crackers get mixed in a glorious pande- monium of patriotism and the police don’t cut any ice, because nobody cares whether they are police or not. That is the kind of a time we ought to have; something hig and glorious and effervescent. Everything conspires to help out such an undertaking. The Fourth comes on Mon- day, so that we can get rested for the hlow- out on Sunday and then after we have had all the pyrotechnics we want we will all have heads big enough to compare very favor- ably with the braiby craniums of the army of state school teachers who will troop into the town next day to hold their annual convention here. It will be quite possible that secretary Long can be prevailed upon to send the White Squadron up to have a little deep water practice and manceuvring on Spring creek and if he does ma) or Naginey will be able to prevail on him to leave the boats lie off the point above this office for the pleasure of the school teach- ers during their stay. Let us have a demonstration by all means. A big demonstration. half-past four o’clock, on Sunday after- noon, fire was discovered in the hay loft of the stable at the rear of the house occupied by M. B. Garman, on north Allegheny street. It was a large wooden structure and filled to the roof with hay and straw, so that it was but a few minutes from the time the fire was discovered until the entire building was enveloped in flames. The fire spread to the gas works and tke stable on the rear of the Tate lot, just across the alley, and to Dr. J. L. Seibert’s stable on the south. The latter was beyond saving before effective streams could be gotten onto it, but the gas works were saved and the fire in the Tate stable was subdued after the roof had been burned oft it. The stable in which the fire originated was one of the best fitted out in the town. It was owned by Thos. B. Hamilton, of New York, but Mart Garman rented it for his horses, and owning several fast ones it was necessarily equipped with a fine rac- ing outfit, besides the numerous wagons and costly harness. One of the stable boys was in the office with several companions when the fire was first discovered and they had to work des- perately fast to save the horses and car- riages, so rapidly did the place burn. The horses were turned loose onto the streets and the carriages hauled out onto Lamb street. The only things that were not saved were the nickle-ware and the hoots and odd harness. It was fortunate that the Garman stable had a tin roof on it, for that kept the flames confined and probably was the cause of the saving of adjoining property. Mr. Hamilton carried $300 insurance on his building ; M. B. Garman had $1,000 on the contents, but all of the amount was specified and on articles saved except $200. Dr. Seibert’s loss is estimated at $900, on which there is sufficient insurance to cover the amount ; the George Tate stable was damaged to the extent of $150, the loss he- ing covered by insurance. Both the Logan and Undine companies had their new hose in use and not a break occurred during the fire. FL A House BURNED DOWN AT COLE- VILLE.—About four o’clock Wednesday morning the frame dwelling house of Abram Switzer, at Coleville, caught fire and was totally destroyed, with most of its contents. Mrs. Switzer discovered the fire first. She had been ill and had a lamp burning in her bed-room and when she first saw the flames they were located about the flue in the second story, so she thinks. She sprang from her bed to give an alarm, catching up the lamp at the same time, but unfor- tunately she tripped and fell, the burning lamp rolled out of her hands and the oil ran over the floor, making what was at first an incipient blaze a fire in which her own life was in great danger. The people of Coleville were aroused and kept the flames from spreading to adjoin- ing property, though no alarm was sent in to this place. Mr. Switzer carried $400 insurance, an amount hardly sufficient to replace the loss that he has suffered. re ba ——The home of Daniel Sherlock, near Hollidaysburg, was totally destroyed by fire, on Saturday morning. Mr. Sherlock had gotten up early in the morning and after building a fire in his stove started for the stable to do the morning chores 2 leaving his three sons and two daughters asleep in the house. When the fire was discovered the entire lower floor was en- veloped and the only escape the children had was cut off. They had to be taken from an up-stairs window in their night clothes and even then several of them were painfully burned. The unfortunate man lost everything he had and is left in utter destitution. To add to the afiliction one of Mr. Sherlock’s daughters is lying at the point of death at the home of Mrs. Louisa Bush, in this place, where she is employed as a domestic. She has typhoid fever and her mother has been with her for two weeks, neither one of them knowing of the misfortunes that have befallen the father and other children. hid pi) ——The Logan engineman whogot so ex- cited when the fire alarm sounded, on Sun- day afternoon, that he got his one gum boot on over top of his shoe, had his own time getting it off again, after the other firemen had all left the house for the scene of the conflagration. Asa rule fire- men don’t swear much, but they do say that on this particular occasion they couldn’ tell whether it was the engine smoke or the lone fireman that made the air so blue. ————..— LUTHERAN CHURCH SERVICES.—Public installation services will be held in the Lutheran church, on Sunday, March 6th, 1898, at 10:30 a. m., at which time Dr. H. C. Holloway will be installed as pastor of the Bellefonte congregation. Rev. J. R. Dimm, D. D., president of Central Penna. Synod, and Rev. C. L. McConnell, of Mifflinburg, Pa., will be present to conduct services. A memorial service will be held in the evening at 7 o’clock for Rev. David A.Day, D.D. All are invited to be present at these services. ee QA eres. ——A team of heavy draft horses driven by John McCaffrey slipped over an embanlk- ment at the ‘‘devil’s elbow’? on the moun- tain road, above Renovo, on Monday after- noon, and rolled 300ft. down the moun- tain side. One of the horses was instantly killed and the other so badly injured that it had to be shot. The driver only saved himself from going over with the team by jumping. A SUNDAY AFTERNOON BLAZE.—About A VALUABLE HISTORY OF THE 49TH.— R. 8 Westbrook, secretary of the veterans society of the 49th Reg., P. V., is engaged on a historical work that promises to be a very valuable compilation of war-time sta- tistics. Particularly it will be the most valuable work ever published to veterans of the 49th. It will contain a complete record of the nineteen companies in the regiment, giving a roll of the members, every day’s marches, fights or camps dur- ring its entire service and many incidental stories thereto. The data has been com- piled from state reports and diaries of Capt. Christian Dale, Adj. A. T. Hilands, George Wills and others. It will be a large book, bound in cloth, with leather quarters and printed on heavy paper. The price has been fixed at $3 per copy, which seems small when the amount of work that has been required to publish it is to be repaid by a limited edition of five hundred copies.

Garman will start to Richmond, Ind., to-morrow morning, to buy a car load of horses, the first invoice for Mr. Garman’s new sale stables in this place. They say they are going to bring back some good ones. —Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Clemson, of Pittsburg, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Clemson, of Scotia, and Clark Clemson, of Williamsburg, spent Wednesday night in this place. They were on their way to the funeral of Mrs. Emma Dale, at Pleasant Gap, yesterday. Mrs. Dale was a Miss Clemson. —John Montgomery Ward spent Sunday with his relatives in this place and veturned to his of- fice in Brooklyn on Tuesday. He is counsel for the Nassau electric railway company, operating over 175 miles of lines in Brooklyn and suburban towns, so that he finds time for nothing else than the legal business of that corporation. —Dr. W. U. Irvin, of Julian, was in town on Tuesday morning, shaking hands with his triends and attending to a little business as well. The doctor beeame quite popular when a candidate for county coroner, but happily enough he is a much better physician than politician, for his first po- litical undertaking failed, while he has met .with marked suceess in medicine. —Mrs. Daniel Kerlin, of Roopsburg, was in town, on Tuesday evening, and favored the Warcu- MAN office with a call. She isa sister-in-law of our mathematically inclined friend, W. A. Ker- lin, of Rudd, Iowa, and the mother of Ed. M, Kerlin who for years was the miller at Brocker- hoft’s Roopsburg mill. Ed. has gone West and report has it that he is getting along nicely. —Mr. James Dumbleton, of Philipsburg, and Joe Foreman, of Osceola, spent Monday night in Bellefonte, both of them having been here on business relating to the unseated land tax ap- peals. Mr. Dumbleton is one of the most esteem- ed men in that region and is a miner of many years experiénce. He is a type of that seber, thrifty class that commands respect wherever met and, above all, is a Democrat among Demo- crats. —C. C. Bell, of south Thomas street, has decided to move to Huntingdon in order to have his fam- ily nearer his new work as instructor in brick- laying and masonry at the reformatory., While it is to be regretted that Bellefonte is to lose such estimable residents as Mr. Bell's family have been, yet they are to be congratulated, for this move has the significance that Mr. Bell's position is to be a permanent one. They will leave Belle- fonte on the 14th inst. —Watson Struble, of Axe Mann, was in town Monday making arrangements for moving from his present home to the Mrs. Reuben Valentine farm, just south of Bellefonte. Mr. Struble has lived in the vicinity of Axe Mann for ten years, or more, and has farmed the John Olewine farm so long that it will seem strange for him to live anywhere else, but happily he is a man who can adapt himself to any surroundings and will doubt- less soon grow to like his new home. —Misses Emma and Myra Holliday returned from a two week's visit with their aunt, Mrs, Jack McClelland, at Sharpsburg, near Pittsburg, on Monday night. Mrs. Spangler took advantage of the return of her dau ghters to start for Philadel- phia, the next morning, to be gone until the 1st of May. Daisy Brisbin went with her and will spend the time shopping in Philadelphia, until Monday, when she will go out to the Chester Springs soldier's orphan school to begin her new duties as a teacher there. —Mr. D. B. DeLong, of Romola, spent Wednes. day in Bellefonte and found that he had just a lit- tle more business than he could get transacted in time to go home on the noon train, so he had to wait until evening. While here he was purchas- ing some clover seed which leads us to believe that he is going to settle down and spend the rest of his days farming. He is considered one of the best men on a lumber job that can be found and he has bossed many a big one, but for a few years back he has been gradually leaving go of his con- tracts in the woods and we infer that henceforth he expects to spend his time at home with his in- teresting family. He is one of Curtin township's most prominent citizens and is very generally es- teemed out about Romola. —Hon. P. E. Womelsdorff, of Philipsburg, was in town on Monday and Tuesday attending the unseated land appeal, as the representative of a Philipsburg land corporation. Thinking that he is “old pumpkins” with Congressman Arnold of course all the would-be postmasters of Bellefonte hovered around the Bush house, bowing and scraping, until the ex-legislative objector must have been forced to imagine himself a big gun indeed. He wasn’t bothering his head about the Bellefonte postoffice, however, as he wants to be State Senator from this district and before any of them could get a chance to tell their tale of un- dying devotion to party and unquestionable right to the plum, he would launch his little boomlet and inform them, in that mild way of his, that he has troubles of his own. AN AMATEUR HIGH-WAYMAN HAULED Up.—Constable G. F. Schell, and high con- stable James Miller, of Mifflinburg, brought George Hassenplug, of Laurelton, to this place, on Monday evening, and he is now in jail to answer the charge of heing a high-wayman. Hassenplug is only 22 years old and is the son of Jesse Hassenplug, a well-to-do farmer of the vicinity of Laurelton. The constables arrested him about 5:30 o’clock in the morning. They had no trouble in getting their prisoner after the y bad made the family understand that they knew he was in the house and that they were there to get him. The crime with which Hassenplug is charged was committed at a lonely point in “the Narrows,” about one and one half miles on this side of the Union county line, on the morning of the 13th of September, 1897. Harry Gentsburger, a peddler who hawks clothing and notions through that territory, was returning to his home in Un- ion county after a trip through Penns and Brush valleys. He was driving along the road, unconscious of any danger, when two or three masked men suddenly jumped out from a thicket and held him up. They knocked him off his wagon and after pound- ing him into a condition of insensibility were in the act of rifling his pockets when John Runkle, of Middleburg, appeared, driving around a bend in the road. The high-way men were frightened and took to their heels, but unfortunately for one of them some clues that led to Hassenplug’s arrest were left. Mr. Runkle saw a one- eared dog, that is said to he Hassenpiug’s, run away after the men and close to the scene of their crime he picked up several gun cartridges by which it is hoped to help prove his guilt. They are of a peculiar make and correspond exactly to some that Calvin Aikey, of Hartleton, bought from Hassenplug afterwards. After the constables had arrested him and were waiting in the hotel at Laurelton for the train to arrive, Gentsburger picked Hassenplug out from among a dozen or more men as one of his assailants. Such an identification appears very incriminat- ing in the face of the fact that the peddler had not seen him since the day he was held- up. The officers are on the track of the others and hope to be able to produce them at the proper time. i iad Sale Register. The experience of those who have used the Warcnyay Sale Bills and “Register” in the past has been so gratifying that we have no hesitancy in proclaiming them the best advertising medi- ums in Centre county for Public Sales. Within the last few years a record has been kept of the cash receipts and gross amounts of the sales for which the advertisements have been left with this office and in every case better results have been reported than from corresponding sales ad- vertised by other places. This spring the Warcu- aN bills will be better and cheaper than ever. Don’t think you can get them cheaper elsewhere, for you can’t. You can get your bills done here just as cheap as anywhere, you can get better sat- isfaction, have your sale advertised better and he fitted out with the necessary sale supplies. When your billsare printed at this office, you get every- thing else for nothing: notes, sale supplies and a notice in this column. Maren 5th.—At the residence of James L.
