THE SWORD RETURNED AFTER THIRTY- SIX YEARS.—In the WATCHMAN issue of March 18th was told a pretty war time in- cident that had a tinge of sadness about it, since it recalled the death of brave young Hardman Petriken who went out to the war from here and fell on the field at Antietam. It was the story of the recovery of Petriken’s watch and sword, through the generous offices of a confederate officer, the return of his watch and the years of persistent effort that finally succeeded in restoring the sword to Miss Marian Petri- ken, the sister of the martyr lientenant. The return of the sword was made the occasion of a pleasing ceremony among the many veterans in this place, on Wednesday night, and the halls of Gregg post, No. 95, G. A. R. were crowded with interested spectators to witness the final graceful act of Maj. William M. Robbins, of the 4th Alabama infantry, when the foe of war times showed himself the friend of peace. Hardman P. Petriken was enlisted in Co. E. Fifth Penna. Reserves. The night be- [ fore the battle of Antietam he was ordered out with a squad to reconnoitre, and also station an additional picket outline. The night was very dark and rainy and the enemy in closer proximity than supposed, the consequence being that Petriken’s squad ran into the Confederate picket line and were fired upon. Petriken fell mor- tally wounded at the first fire, but his men escaped. Major William M. Robbins, of the Fourth Alabama Regiment, found the wounded federal officer and did all possible to relieve the suffering of his last moments. To Major Robbins Lieutenant Petriken gave his watch to be sent to his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Wallace Petriken, in this place, and also the message, ‘‘Tell them at home that I died for my country.” In the advance the next morning by the federal army Petriken’s body was found and sent home, while the same day under a flag of truce Major Robbins sent toa member of General Sumner’s staff the watch and message, which were returned to the mother about a year afterward. In the ex- citement incident to the killing of Petriken Robbins forgot to recover his sword, and ever since he has had the one purpose in mind, to recover the same and return it to A few weeks ago his search was rewarded by locating the sword in the possession of an old comrade living in Texas, from whom it was an easy matter to get it. Once in Maj. Robbins’ hands he opened communication with Governor Hastings and expressed his desire to return it in person. When thise intention became known here the people at once decided to make it the occasion of a public demon- stration. They were hearty in the opinion that such a spirit of friendliness should not go unrequited. Accordingly from the time of Maj. Robbins’ arrival in town, on Mon- day, until he departed, yesterday morning, his visit was one round of entertainment. Maj. Robbins was the center of attraction everywhere and his courteous, genial man- ner made him more popular than he had become even before his arrival. The presentation was made Wednesday evening in the Post rooms. Gen’l James A. Beaver presided and opened with a hearty address of welcome to the distin- guished visitor. Maj. Robbins then made his address of presentation, telling all that he knew of Lieut. Petriken’s death and finally handing the sword to Maj. W. C. Patterson, of State College, who received it for Miss Petriken. Maj. Patterson was probably the last man to speak to young Petriken before he fell, as he was with him and only a few yards distant when that fatal volley was fired on our unsuspecting skirmishers, Col. D. F. Fortney followed with a speech, then former Judge A. O. Furst moved that the Grand Army of Cen- tre county tender a vote of gratitude to Maj. Robbins, Capt. Sterret, Lieut. Vaughn and others who assisted him in the rer covery of the sword. It was a stand- ing vote and before the question had been fairly put all were on their feet, so anxious were they to attest their good fel- lowship for their comrades in grey. The meeting closed with a talk by Col. John A. Daley, of Curtin township. While here Maj. Robbins was the guest of John P. Harris, cashier of the Jackson, Hastings & Co. bank. A dinner party in his honor was given on Wednesday evening and the following gentlemen were guests. Genl. Irv. Curtin, Col. J. P. Coburn, Maj. W. C. Patterson, H. P. Harris, James Har- ris, Chas. McCurdy, Wm. P. Humes, Isaac Mitchell and Frank Warfield. oto AL GARMAN’S NEW HOTEL SCORCHED, Word was received in this place, shortly before noon yesterday morning, that the Empire house in Tyrone was burning down. The news created considerable excitement in the town since the hotel had but lately been purchased by Mr. A. S. Garman, of this place, for $9,000. The first reports were to the effect that it would be totally destroyed, but last night it was learned that only the roof had been burned and that all other damage was done by the water. The fire is supposed to have caught from a defective flue. As it was Mr. Garman’s intention to re- model the interior he will have his oppor- tunity now. He and Mis. Garman and their son Ira went up yesterday afternoon, it having been their intention to take charge to-day. Appraisers were at work adjusting the value of the furniture of the former pro- prietor, part of which Mr. Garman intended buying, when the fire broke out. All of the new furniture is still at the freight station in Tyrone. The lower floors of the house can be gotten in condition to open at once so that the fire will not be as serious to the new owner as was first supposed. He has $4,000 insurance on the building and as he had not purchased any of its contents he is secure. —The Millheim Methodist Sunday School raised over $18 for the starving Cuba fund, last Sunday. reir ne Mr. H.

There was no dancin’, but lots of singin’, playin’, speech makin’, etc, etc. When it was all over but the hurrahin’ the Rev. ‘‘Hoora’’ took the floor and did the rest. eee ll ——The repeated rumors that W. C. Heinle Esq., is a candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination for Assembly led a WATCHMAN reporter to ascertain the grounds for it. When asked if it were true Mr. Heinle became non-committal and said: “It is a little early yet, and I am not prepared to say whether I will be a candidate or not.” —— —By reference to our advertising col- umns it will be seen that Katz & Co. have their millinery opening on next Monday and Tuesday, April 4th and 5th. This is an event which is always looked forward to with impatience by most of our lady readers, and from what we know and have seen there is a rich treat in store for them. CSET Frank Igo, a freight engineer run- ning on the Bald Eagle valley, met with quite a serious mishap last Saturday even- ing. He was pulling his train in onto a siding at the Beech Creek station when he jumped off the engine, not noticing that he was right over a cattle guard, and was caught. His collar bone was broken and an ugly gash was cut in his head. He was unconscious when picked u p. — oo — ——After being an invalid for six years as a result of nervous affections Lizzie Swartz, a 21 year old Williamsport girl, walked down stairs Tuesday morning and claimed to be in perfect health. The four weeks preceding Tuesday she had been in bed in a delirious condition. The remark- able cure is ascribed to the answer of the prayers of a Seventh Day Advent preacher, his wife and her own brother, all of whom are converts to the faith cure process. a. ——Butts and Croshy is the name of a new firm of architects and engineers locat- ed at 48 Pearl St., New York City. Belle- fonte will be interested because one of the firm. Edward P. Butts, is a son of the late D. M. Butts of this place. Until re- cently he had been associated with Ashley B. Tower, of New York, but this departure is a new one and we hope it will prove successful. Mr. Butts is a graduate of the Pennsylvania State College, while his part- ner claims the Boston Institute of Tech- nology as his alma mater. Cn yeti —To-day the new Millheim telephone exchange is to have connection with Belle- fonte. There are about thirty subscribers in that locality, they have long distance phones and have contracted to keep them for a period of three years. It will cost ten cents to talk to Millheim from here and the folks down there will be charged the same to talk up here. There will be two operatives in the Millheim exchange, which will control the lines to Spring Mills, Coburn, Aaronsburg and Rebersburg. For the present there will be but one operative in the Centre Hall exchange. ee ——-The Undine Easter assembly will he given on Monday evening, April 11th. This year it will be held in the armory of Co. B for the first time. The Arcade hall has heretofore been the regular place for the Undine’s Easter dances, but it is too small to accommodate the crowds that have come to enjoy these well regulated after lenten affairs and the more spacious armory will be called into play. The grand march will begin at 9 o'clock; the Undine orches- tra furnishing the music. Prior to the dancing the Undine band will give a thirty minute concert. The committee in charge is composed of Joseph McMahon, Benj. Hoffman, Harry Lose, Harry Parks, Bruce Garbrick, John Houser and William Smith. ——— WoRrTH HEARING.—The organ recital, in the Presbyterian church on the evening of the 14th, promises to be a great treat for the people of this community. Miss Neubaker, the organist, comes from Phila- delphia highly commended as a musician. Two of the vocalists from a distance who have promised to take part are Mrs. James Scarlet and her brother Charley Lyon, of Danville. Mus. Scarlet has sung here several times before and she has the happy faculty of pleasing the audience, whether it be critical and exacting or simply good natured and fun loving. Miss Furst, of Lock Haven, will sing and a good elocu- tionist recite, so that the program will be ‘varied as well as spicy. JOHN B. HECKMAN’S SUDDEN DEATH. — It was a matter of deep surprise and regret to his friends in this place when they heard of the sudden death of John B. Heckman, which occurred at his home, in Spring Mills, early last Monday morning. He was taken sick about noon on Sunday and a physician was called. He was suffering with convulsions, which could not be re- lieved and precipitated heart failure, caus- ing his death. - Deceased had been living a retired life in Spring Mills for several years. He was one of the most prominent and influential men in Gregg township and his death leaves the place of a good citizen unfilled. Of a generous disposition and kind man- ner he was esteemed by the people of that community as he was loved by his family. He was 65 years and 5 months old. A widow, his second wife, and eight children survive. They are Jefferson, Jonathan, William, Adam, Daniel, Alice, Ella and Mis. Thos. Decker. Rev. Rearick of the Centre Hall Lutheran church conducted the funeral services that were held on Wednesday morning. Interment was made in Heckman’s cemetery. I I ll NEARLY DROWNED.—While James Val- ance and James Bayard were putting some trout fry into Logan’s Branch, near the home of Mrs. Reuben Valentine, last Fri- day morning, quite a crowd of the child- ren out about Valentine’s iron works as- sembled to watch them. Among the little ones was a two year old child of Frank Garret. In its effort to see all that was going on the little one got on a narrow foot-log and promptly tumbled into the water. The men were 80 intent upon planting the fry that the did not observe the accident until some women near-by began to shout, then they discovered what was wrong and Jos- eph Ayres jumped in and rescued the lit- tle fellow. He had been in the water long enough to render him unconscious and it was only after the most vigorous rolling that life was restored. ll li I MRs. MARY MYERS DIES IN PHILIPS- BURG.—Mrs. Mary Myers died at her home in north Philipsburg, on Sunday night. Deceased was a daughter of Mis. E. P. Trout, of Nebraska, and was born in Half- Moon valley. She had been sick for four weeks and was 30 years old. She was married to Thaddeus Myers to whom she bore five children, three of them having preceded her to the grave. A husband and two sons survive. Two of her sisters are living with the mother in Nebraska. Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon. fl I ll ——DMrs. Catharine Achenbach, mother of B. C. Achenbach, formerly of this place, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. P. Sheetz, in Williamsport, last Thursday afternoon, after an illness extending over ten weeks, she had reached the age of 81 years and her death was due to a general breaking down of her constitution. Her home had been in Sugar valley and she was the widow of the late Hon. George A. Achenbach who represented Clinton county in the General Assembly and in the con- stitutional convention of 1873. The body was taken to Loganton for burial on Mon- day. Mis. Sarah Snook, of this place, is a daughter. I I li ——About 1 o'clock last Monday morn- ing Mrs. Elizabeth Ungert, relict of the late John B. Ungert, died at her home two miles soath of Spring Mills. She had been a long sufferer with enlargement of the heart which caused her death. Deceased was 65 years old, a devout member of the United Evangelical church and is survived by five children. Burial was made at the Cross Roads church on Wednesday after- noon. — oe —— THE ANNUAL INSPECTION OF Co. B.— The regular annual inspection of Co. B, 5th Reg., N. G. P., stationed at this place, was made in the company’s armory, corner of Spring and Lamb streets, on Tuesday evening by Maj. John P. Penny, of Gen’l Wiley’s staff, inspecting officer of the 2nd Brig. and Ord. Sgt. H. P. Moore, of Pitts- burg. Five hundred people were in the galleries to watch the inspection which was exceptionally severe. In every branch of duty the company held itself up to a high standard. The manual, evolutions, skirmish drills and guard mounting were given close attention and particularly with the latter were the in- specting officers exacting. The accoutre- ments, arms and personai appearance of the men could not have been better and altogether the inspection proved very grat- ifying to the friends of B company. The consolidated band was on the stage to play when necessary and contributed much to the pleasure of the guests who were there. It furnished music for danc- ing after the inspection. After the inspection Capt. Taylor and Lieutenants Jackson and Taylor entertain- ed Maj. Penny and Searg. Mcore at lunch- eon at the Bush house. It is more than likely that Tuesday night’s record will restore our company to its old place at the head of the regiment. oa ——George Kreighbaum, of Madison- burg, with his four small children is mourning the death of his wife, Catharine, which occurred at her home on Saturday. An infant daughter died on Friday and the young mother followed very shortly. Funeral services were conducted in the Aaronsburg Lutheran church yesterday by Rev. A. G. Wolfe. ——Mrs. J.

News Purely Personal. —Tom Morris, of Tyrone, Sundayed in Belle- fonte. —John M. Bullock spent Friday in Philipsburg, the guest of his sister Mrs. Frank Lukenbach. —Mr. and Mrs. John P. Harris Jr., were down from Tyrone to spend Sunday at the parental home on Linn street. —Hon. John T. McCormick, of Ferguson town- ship, was in town yesterday attending to some business that needed looking after before he gets too deep in the spring work on the farm. —Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Struble and their daugh- ter Sallie, who went West seven or eight years ago, are coming back to Centre county next week. They have not decided where they will locate permanently but have taken a house at State Col- lege for the summer. —H. A. Brungard, of Zion, spent a few hours in town yesterday and was much interested in the new turn the Spanish crisis has taken. Mr. Brun- gard is naturally a very conservative man, but like a great many of the rest of us he thinks it is a shame for our government to hesitate longer when so many helpless souls are starving in Cuba. musical instruments, is in town for a day or so, while Lie has several nice sales under way. Mr. Gephart has a store in Millheim that many a larger place would be proud of and the people down there must appreciate his efforts to supply every demand, for he is said to be doing a fine business. —Among the crowd of Saturday shoppers in Bellefonte was Mrs. L. C. Rutter, of Red Bank, whereshe has lived ever since the Collins men began their ore operations at that point. Though the mines have not been in operation since the Bellefonte furnace went out of blast the Rutters have remained there to look after the property that has never been dismantled. —Charles Snyder Esq., Ferguson township’s largest land owner, was in town on Saturday on his annual pilgrimage to the county seat. After leaving Pine Hall, west of State College, the traveler runs into the Snyder farms that stretch across the valley, clear from the White Hall road to the “Barrens.” Fine farms they are and Mr. Snyder has made himself a wealthy man by mak- ing them highly productive. —Mr. and Mrs. Ollie Campbell were arrivals in town, yesterday afternoon from Clearfield. They have returned to stay and will live in one of J. L. Kurtz's houses on east Curtin street. Ollie will begin his duties as manager of the Bellefonte telephone exchange in a few days. In losing Mr. Woomer, who goes to Scranton, we all have regret, putin return we get two of our former residents back again. —John G. Carson, of Buffalo Run, was a Satur- day visitor in town. Mr. Carson is the man who makes a specialty of building pits and burning lime for farmers and he has the reputation of do- ing it so well and so reasonably that he has plenty of it to do. There is one particular advantage in getting lime in this way. In this county, where lime stone underlies nearly all the soil, the farmer can get rid of the stone on his flelds and at the same time turn them to proftt by making lime of them. —Last Friday we had a very pleasant call from J. H. Roush, of Madisonburg, who was at one time a resident of this vicinity. For eleven years he lived on the old Roush farm at Axe Mann, but is now back on' the homestead property near Madisonburg, where he was born. He celebrated his 48th Wirthday on the day after spring was ushered in and if it were possible we hope that all of his life will be as full of sunshine as that day was. Mr. Roush was in town on business con- cerning the Mary Weesner estate. —J. Malcolm Laurie is going off on a nice vaca- tion next Wednesday. After staying until Satur- day in Philadelphia he goes to New York and sails for Scotland, his native heath, to visit his sisters and kin. Mac was a little bit of a lad when he came here, eighteen years ago, to make his home with his uncle, Dr. Wm. Laurie, and this is his first trip back. The reason of his visit, just at this season, is the marriage of one of his sisters, who is going to South Afriea tolive and he was afraid the laundry business would never al- low him to get so far from home. Mac is a mighty nice young man, he has made a success of his steam laundry and he deserves the best of good times among his bonny cousins and aunts. —After spending the Sunday in Philadelphia Lieut. Geo. L. Jackson returned, on Tuesday even- ing, in time for the regular spring inspection of Co. B. He went down to consult an oceulist about his eyes and has brought back an extremely un- pleasant announcement to the effect that he is in danger of becoming totally blind. Coming at this time, just when there seems real danger of a war with Cuba, some of the Lieutenant’s friends are inclined to view the information with suspicion. Even thinking such a thought is the rankest in- justice, for everyone who knows Lieutenant Jack- son knows that his military epidermis has been itching for fight ever since there seemed a chance for one and nothing would be more to his liking than scratching it by leading brilliant charges over Spanish defenses. —Mr. Joseph Carson, one of the young farmers of Potter township, was in town on Wednesday, having driven over from his home near Potters Mills. He reported the pike in bad condition on the other side of the mountain, but the fine day over-head made travelers unmindful of the bad roads beneath. Mr. Carson is the eldest son of the late Joseph Carson and since his father's death he and his brother Franklin have been managing the farm, while their mother, Mrs. Katharine M. Carson, lives in Potters Mills. Mr. Carson’s report of the bad roads reminds us of the smart answer an old Irishman once gave a gentleman to whom he had acknowledged a daily salutation. It was a slushy and sloppy day under- foot, but the sun was shining bright. The Irish- man said: ‘Good marnin Mr. Jones, it isa sloppy marnin.” “Yes,” replied Mr. Jones, ‘‘but it is beautiful overhead.” ‘Your’e roight, sor,” said the Irishman, “but 1 see blessed few goin thot way.” —M. C. Gephart, Millheim’s large dealer in: To REPAIR ST. PAUL'S A. M. E. CHURCH.—Rev. Cyrus ‘Woodson, pastor of St. Paul’s A. M. E. church, is about to undertake some absolutely necessary re- pairs to that structure and finding that the resources of his own congregation are entire- ly inadequate to the work feels compelled to call upon the people of this community for assistance. The building has been left without even the necessary repairs for so long that it has become very dilapidated and almost unfit for use as a place of wor- ship. He proposes to put a new roof on it, fresco the interior and purchase some glass for the windows. In all it will require about $300 and we trust that his request will meet a liberal response. Rev. Wood- son was located in Milton for thirteen years and served the people of Connells- ville very faithfully for a time. He is highly recommended by both clergy and laymen of those towns and can be trusted for faithful honest endeavor here.. a FosTER’S WEATHER FORECAST. — The next storm wave will reach the Pacific coast about 29th, cross the west of Rockies country by close of 30th, great central val- leys 31st to April 2nd, eastern States 3rd.

SHREFFLER—IMMEL.—J. Cl yde Shreffler and Miss Annie Immel were married at the home of the groom’s parents, on South Potter street, Bellefonte, at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning. The cermony was performed by Rev. Allan Rhen, of the U. B. church, in the presence of a small party of the most intimate friends of the couple. Allan Waite was the groom’s man and Miss Josephine Keller was maid for the bride. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served and the couple took the 1.05 train for Lewistown which is to be their future home. Clyde is an industrious, gentlemanly young man who has the esteem of all who know him. The bribe is an estimable girl and we hope their life will prove happy and useful. He has purchased a bakery in Lewistown that he will manage. —_——t MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- phans court clerk G. W.
