THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY —— The curb market in Bellefonte will start on Saturday, May 7th. ——A lodge of K. G. E. was installed at Milesburg on Friday night. ——The engagement of Jacob Gross, the High street tailor, to Miss Margaret Curry, of Logan street, has been announced. Dr. John Sebring, who has charge of Dr. R. G. H. Hayes’ practice during the latter’s absence at Mt. Gretna, will prob- ably locate in Bellefonte permanently. ——A number of the Bellefonte Eagles drove down to Milesburg, on Friday night, to help at the installation of the new cas- tle there. ——Active preparations are in progress for building the Philipsburg electric rail- road. Several car loads of Italians and tools have arrived at that place. ——On page 6 of this issue will be found a complete account of the court proceedings, both for this and last week. Everything that was done at court is reported. ——Erastus Robb, of Bellefonte, has had his pension increased from $6 to $12 per month. Edward Beckwith, of Hannah Furnace, has had the same raise. ——The Ringling shows, which exhibit here next week, are well worth your com- ing to town to see. It will be the biggest circus enterprise that you have ever seen. ——Sam M. Graham and W. Miller Hess left Philipsburg for Mt. Gretna, on Saturday evening. They went down to enlistin Co. B, Capt. Taylor having assured them that he would find a place for them, which he did. ——Walter L. Main’s eircus will exhibit in Tyrone on Monday, May 23rd. The show had intended coming to Bellefonte but the Ringling shows were billed ahead of Main here and he has postponed his coming until later in the season. ——Our young friend James McNichol objects to the position in which he has been classified in the roster of Co. B, pub- lished in last week’s WATCHMAN, and writes that he is merely waiting on the officers’ table and isnot ‘‘officers’ servant.” ——The Philipsburg Record wants to know why that town never has any big fires like we have over here. That's easy. You're too green over there to makea good fire. Now come back at us and say that it is because it is so dry here that we burn so readily. . —C. P. Long has purchased the old Bibby Louse, at Spring Mills, and intends ‘making extensive improvements to it. The building was put up twenty years ago for -a summer hotel, but never was a success. The last few years it has been used by Smith Bros. as a furniture store. -——On another page of this issue ap- pears the business card of Grant Hoover, who represents old line insurance com- panies and does a good business because they are safe and he is fair. No property owner should be without insurance and no one should have a policy written without seeing Grant. ——The observance of forty hours devo- tion began in St. John’s Catholic church in this place on Sunday morning at 8 o’clock and ended Tuesday evening. Rev. McArdle was assisted in holding the service by Revs. J.J. Gormley, of Renovo; Frances McCar- thy, Lock Haven;James Saas, Lock Haven; John Codori, Lewistown, and Thomas Fleming, of Snow Shoe. ——While playing on the sidewalk in front of his home on east Howard street, ‘about noon on Saturday, ten year old Richard McCafferty tripped and fell over backward, stunning himself so that it was sometime before he regained consciousness. At first it was thought the little fellow was dead, but Dr. Dorworth was hastily summoned and brought him around all right after working with him for some time. ——Next Thursday night William A. Stone, Republican aspirant for Governor, will be in Bellefonte to address a public meeting in the court house. It will be in- teresting to watch the changed condition of things when Stone comes, as compared to the gingerly manner in which some of the Republicans acted while Wanamaker was here. Stone is supposed to be the Quay candidate. Quay has the post-offices and that will explain it. ——Commencement week at the Penn- sylvania State College will be from June 12th to 15th, inclusive. Rev. Dr. Lawrence M. Colfelt will preach the baccalaureate sermon on Sunday morning at 10:30, and the Hon. John Stewart, of Chambersburg, will deliver the address to the graduating class. One of the special entertainment features will be a reproduction of ‘‘the Rivals’ which was so successfully played by the Thespians, the college dramatic so- ciety, during the winter. .—In running over the comfortable and cosy business offices that there are so many of in Bellefonte few people would think that one of the youngest business men in town is sole occupant of one of the very finest offices. The quarters that the Edi- son electric illuminating company have fit- ted up for their superintendent are as handsome as any office in town, but they are only in keeping with the splendid plant the company owns in Bellefonte, all of which is under the supervision of Frank C. Williams. THE THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ACADEMY TO BE CELEBRATED IN SPLEN- DID STYLE.—An exceptional treat is in store for Bellefonte and vicinity. The month of June will conclude the thirtieth year of Rev. J. P. Hughes as principal of the Bellefonte academy and a committee of graduates from this historic institution is developing a plan for a grand reunion of the students who have been enrolled during that time. Nothing is being left undone to make the reunion a success, intellectually and socially. Established in 1806—a worthy rival of forty other academies in the State, it has steadily improved throughout the years in its attractiveness, its equipment and its course of instruction; strengthening its fac- ulty each passing year until it stands to-day without a superior in thoroughness of its foundation work. The published records of its students in the respective colleges they attend show that the honors they are winning are due to their thorough academi- cal training. The other thirty-nine acade- mies contemporary with this one in the early part of the century have been closed long ago, but the life of our own academy is more energetic and fruitful than ever before. At the coming reunion facts will doubt- less be brought to light with reference to the good work of the academy under the principalship of Mr. Hughes that will not only interest but astonish many of our people. No more opportune time for such a reunion than the present, when the recent needed and worthy improvements the trustees have wisely made in the buildings may tell to friends from far and near of the increased impulse in the work and the pos- sibilities created thereby for even better work than has as yet been done. The col- lege requirements are increasing year by year and the academy is to be congratulated that it has been able to keep abreast with the new demands, even to the point of carrying off the highest honors in some of our leading universities. You will hear more about this later. The date about settled upon for the coming event is June 21st. The program will provide for a general meeting to be held, probably in the court house, on the after- noon of that date to which the public will be invited. Dr. Francis L. Patton, presi- dent of Princeton University, and Dr. Geo. W. Atherton, president of the Penna. State College, have both accepted invitations to speak on this occasion. Gov. Hastings and Gov. Beaver will also be expected to take part. Other interesting addresses will be delivered by prominent graduates of the school in every walk of life. A five o’clock tea will likely be served on the hill by the alumni to the visiting students and friends. A promenade will be enjoyed from 7 to 9 in the evening oun the academy grounds and then the social climax will come in the way of a delightful assembly to be given in the armory. The music will be furnished on all these occasions by a full orchestra from Williamsport. Invitations are now in preparation to be sent to hundreds of the old students at home and abroad. — 90 CouNcIiL MEETS AGAIN. — There was only one absentee when council convened on Monday night, so the business was hustled through with dispatch. Fire marshall Joseph Wise appeared be- fore council and explained that owing to there being only a 3in. supply pipe on south Potter street, Reynold’s Ave. and Willowbank street the fire department was seriously handicapped in handling the big fire in that end of the town several weeks ago. W. C. Heinle appeared in behalf of Miss Maggie Miles, who fell on the pavement in front of Daniel Garman’s residence, on High street, about Christmas time and broke her arm. Mr. Heinle asked that she be reimbursed in the sum of $75 which he considered had been her outlay necessitated by the injury. The case was referred to the Street committee for investigation. Representatives of the Central Commer- cial telephone company were present and asked for franchises to erect poles and maintain lines on the several streets and alleys of Bellefonte. Ellis L. Orvis and C. M. Bower both spoke in behalf of the fran- chise. They stated that the company in- tends making Bellefonte its headquarters and will employ a number of people here. This is the company a complete description of which was given in last week’s issue. An ordinance was drawn up granting the franchise. Burgess Naginey reported the condition of the alley leading from the Catholic church to Cherry alley to be bad and coun- cil referred it to the Street committee. The Street committee reported various repairs. The Nuisance committee reported objectional dumping of ashes at various places. The Water committee had a brok- en plug on Willowbank street to talk of and the Fire and Police committee report- ed the new hose recently purchased for the fire department to be satisfactory. Council directed the burgess to formally thank the fire departments of Lock Haven and Tyrone for the kindness evidenced in their willingness to come to our aid during the big fire of the 21st. The following consumers were reported as having refused to sign water contracts for the new year: St. John’s Episcopal church, F. W. Crider, J. A. McKee, Jenk- ins & Lingle, First national bank, William Storm, Peter Mendis and McCalmont & Co. Council directed that the supply should be cut off without further notice. Bills to the amount of $661.42 were ap- proved and council adjourned. lpm ———Robert Barnhart, a brakeman on the Lewisburg freight, had a finger smashed while making a coupling at Centre Hall on Tuesday. ——Lock Haven is going to do some more street paving this summer. re ens ——~Capt. C. N. Gridley, of commodore Dewey’s flagship, the Olympia, was a class mate of R. C. Irvin at Annapolis. el ope i ——Dr. John Sebring, of Philadelphia, is looking after Dr. R. G. H. Hayes’ prac- tice here while the latter is away as as- sistant surgeon of the 5th Reg. Pa. Vol. U.S. A. pe ——The Straits Settlements are the British possessions in the straits of Ma- lacca, the Prince of Wales Island and the province of Wellesly. The strait of Ma- lacca leads from the China Sea to the Indian Ocean and separates the Malay peninsula from Sumatra. gt ——TFacts are not dreams. The Ringling shows are great and you will miss it if you don’t see them. The shows only exhibit at York, Lancaster, Williamsport, Belle- fonte, Johnstown, Uniontown and Pitts- burg in Pennsylvania, so you can have an idea of the size towns they stop in. o> — ——The fiftieth convention of the Sus- quehanna dental association will meet in Williamsport, on Wednesday and Thurs- day, May 11th and 12th. Dr. Charles M. Bordner, of Shenandoah, formerly of Belle- fonte, is president of the association and will deliver the president’s address before the convention. ah. ——At the fourteenth annual meeting of the Central Pa. Odd Fellows association held at Danville recently the following of- ficers were re-elected : President, Wil- liam H. Kiess ; secretary, Joseph H. Mack- ey ; treasurer, Charles Scheffel, all of Wil- liamsport. Bellefonte was selected as the place of meeting next year. ee ——W. B. Reeve, organist at St. John’s Episcopal church, receives scholars at his home, 25 south Thomas street, for instruc- tion on the pipe organ, piano, voice culture and harmony. Since locating in Belle- fonte Mr. Reeve has met with exceptional success as an instructor. He is a close student himself and in his work with scholars takes such a deep interest that they are rapidly advaneed. an ——=Some of the brightest and cleverest people of the town are enrolled as scholars of the district school, which is now being organized under the direction of Mrs. Ach- enbach, of Williamsport. Mrs. Achenbach, who has the knack of being a typical old school marm, a Samantha Allen and a per- fect humorist on the stage, is so in demand that the school here cannot be held until the 20th, but from all indications it will rival in fun any entertainment that has ever heen given in the town. ———— AO ——George Reiber and James Runkle, of Tusseyville, two of Potter township’s oldest and most popular gentlemen, were in Clearfield last week to spend a couple of days with ex-commissioner James Savage, father of Matt Savage editor of the Spirit. More than fifty years ago these three now very old citizens were companions and close friends and during all this half cen- tury they had not seen each other. The visitors had planned their trip as a surprise to Mr. Savage but were most welcome and their going in such a way only proves how the friendship formed in youth ciings to the memory and with unyielding force im- pels men together when in the evening of life they talk over the leng but seemingly brief past together with what it holds worth remembering. Mr. Savage urged them to remain over to see Mr. Bryan, but business called them home the day before he was there. Mr. Runkle is 73 years old and Mr. Reiber is 68. — ——While Robert Montgomery and George Dolan were painting on the exterior of Wm. B. Rankin’s house, on east Curtin street, last Saturday afternoon, the scaffold- ing on which they were working gave way and the men escaped falling thirty-five feet to the ground in a very singular way. They were working up on a gable, when it was discovered that they could not reach the highest point from their scaffold. In order to reach it they got a step ladder which Montgomery held while Dolan was painting. Suddenly the scaffold began to give way and both men would have fallen with it, but Montgomery hurriedly jumped for a window while Dolan grabbed the roof. There he hung, dangling in mid-air, thirty- five feet from the ground, with his strength fast giving way, when Montgomery leaned far out from the window and then they did a regular circus act that saved Dolan. He let go and dropping onto Montgomery’s shoulder was soon safe on the window be- side him. rr pA ——Take our word for it, the Ringling circus that will exhibit here next Tuesday will be as fine a show as ever appeared in Bellefonte. We are not telling you a cir- cus story when we say you will find it to be over twice as large as the largest circus Walter Main ever brought to this place ; and he has the credit of bringing good ones. The Ringling shows have never been through this country before and that is why few people have heard of them, but the best idea of the size of a circus is al- ways had by counting the number of cars required to transport it. It costs money to haul cars over the rail-road, so it is to be inferred that they are not hauled unless there is something in them. You can in- quire at the Pennsylvania railroad office here and they will tell you that they have orders to collect freight for fifty-eight cars. There never has been a circus in Bellefonte before, excepting the Barnum and Fore- paugh shows, that used more than twenty- eight cars in transportation, and neither of them had as many as the Ringlings. MRs. CHARLES GEHRET Is DEAD.—MTrs. Charles Gehret died at her home on south Potter street, this place, on Sunday after- noon, after a protracted illness with pul- monary troubles. She had been in a de- cline for several months and the excite- ment of the frightful fire in that quarter of the town two weeks ago seemed to shock her nervous system so that she collapsed. She was a daughter of Robert Watkins and was born July 31st, 1871. Ten years ago her marriage to Charles Gehret was celebrated. One son was born to them and survives. Funeral services were held in the United Brethren church Wednesday afternoon, in- terment having been made in the iron workers’ burying ground at Valentine's. I I ll ——The death of Chester Wilcox which occurred very suddenly at his home in Philipsburg, on Tuesday morning, will be regretted in many parts of this county where the young man had friends. Having been an active Democratic worker his ac- quaintances include men in all parts of the county and it will be because of the gen- tlemanly, straight-forward character of the young man that they will be grieved to learn of his death. He was taken sick about a week ago with kidney trouble which superinduced heart failure. He was born November 30th, 1863, and was the son of Henry Wilcox, one of Philipsburg’s oldest building contractors. His father and mother, three brothers and two sisters survive him. Interment was made yester- day afternoon. I I I ——William Arthur Dunwiddie, of Phil- ipsburg, died on Sunday afternoon, having been critically ill for three weeks with pneumonia. He was the eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Dunwiddie and was born at Warriorsmark, Huntingdon county, on Nov. 22nd, 1867. Having located in Philipsburg with his parents in 1885 he made that place hishome. He was a grad- uate in pharmacy and was the owner of a fine drug store in Philipsburg. Mr. Dun- widdie was popular in Philipsburg where his death is greatly deplored, because he was so much of a gentleman and possessed talents that were so enthusiastically lent to the entertainment of others. His hody was buried in Philipsburg on Tuesday. li f I ——Hugh Glenn, one of the good old residents of the town, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Jane Brown on Howard street, last Friday morning. Deceased had been a sufferer with kidney trouble for over a year. He was born in county An- trim, Ireland, June 21st, 1827, and was 70 years old. In 1846 he came to this coun- try. Deceased is survived by one brother and two sisters, namely, Robert Glenn and Mrs. Nancy Bowers, of Buffalo Run, and Mrs. Jane Brown, of Bellefonte. His wife, whose maiden name was Clark, preceded him to the grave 10 years ago. Funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon. I I I ——DMiss Lillie Kephart, youngest daughter of the late Matlock Kephart, of Fillmore, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Simeon Dickerson, in Roanoke, Va., on Wednesday. Though the particulars of her death are not known it is supposed that heart disease was the cause, as she had suf- fered with it more or less all her life. She is survived by two sisters: Mrs. Clark Tate, of Clearfield, and Mrs. Dickerson. The remains will arrive at Kephart’s., at Fillmore, at noon to-day. Interment will be made from there. I I I ——David Woomer, one of the well known residents of the upper end of Bald Eagle valley, died at his home near Bald Eagle on Monday evening rather suddenly. He had been a long sufferer with Brights’ disease, but his death was not considered imminent. Deceased was 62 years old and had spent his life at farming. He was a Methodist of enthusiastic zeal and was buried from the Bald Eagle church yester- day morning. He is survived by his widow, with six children. I li I ——Miss Polly Bower died at the home of her brother, F. P. Bower, east of Aarons- burg, on Tuesday night. Deceased was 53 years old and had been a sufferer with can- cer for a long time.

Solt, William Lucas and George Graham were arraigned before jus- tice Keichline, on Friday evening, charged with having been guilty of tearing flags and bunting from buildings in Bellefonte.

Kimport was down in the lower end of town so early yesterday morning that we were led to believe that proba- bly prothonotary Smith had gotten so deeply en- grossed mm a game of pool at Anderson's the night before that he had forgotten to show up at the office. Our conjecture was wrong, however, for Arthur was just taking a little constitutional before starting his day’s work and was seeing whether he could spot any big trout for himself in Spring creek. —Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Buddinger, of Snow Shoe, were in town on Monday on their way home from Mt. Eagle where they had spent Sunday with Mrs. Buddinger’s father, Samuel Leathers Esq. They had driven down to Mt.

Boxes and all were taken. A lot of che wing tobacco made up the balance of the plunder carried away. P. F. Keichline is unable to state whether anything more than the cigais and tobacco was taken. He counts the value of them at $25.00. Across the street Mrs. William Dezendorf, who was spending the night with her mother, Mrs. James Whittaker, who has rooms over the Republican office on the opposite side of High street, heard the glass break and jumped to a window to see what was going on. As there was an elec- tric light burning in the store she saw a man reaching in through the broken win- dow and unlocking the door. He walked into the store then and soon came out with an armful of plunder. He disappeared, but soon returned for more. By this time she had recovered enough from her scare to waken others in the house and they went out to Mr. Keichline’s home to tell him of it. Of course when he got there the burglar was gone. With the information Mrs. Dezendorf was able to give the police have a pretty fair clue and are working on the case now with the hope of running down the bold burglar. ye ——It is not merely as a matter of adver- tisement that we urge you to see the Ring- ling shows next Tuesday. They are fine and we know you will miss something, the magnitude of which you have no idea of, if you stay away. Judge for yourself. They have more flat cars, alone, than any entire circus train that has come into Bellefonte in eleven years. They have ten sleeping coaches, where the ordinary circus uses four or five. They have three advertising cars, where one or two is the usual number and they have contracted for more food for people and animals than has been used to feed any two shows that have come to Bellefonte since Barnum was here. te a MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is the list of marriags licenses granted by or- phans court clerk G.
