Flatwitted Sarcasm.
The Democrats might not have nomi-
nated GEORGE A. JENKS as their candidate
for Governor if they had known that the
terribly sarcastic Philadelphia Inquirer
would go so far in its fierce determination
to annihilate him as to spell his front
name with a J. This is so severe a stroke
of scarcasm, with such withering conse-
quences, that the Democrats at Altoona,
might well have hesitated in bringing Mr.
JENKS forward if they could have fore-
seen it.
But in looking at this QUAY organ, in its
true light, it is found expending its dull
wit in a foolish ‘‘wood-pecker’”’ attempt
to injure GEORGE A. JENKS by represent-
ing him to be an opponent of imperialism,
a charge which it has not sense enough to
see will be put to his credit hy sensible
people.
There is no doubt that the Democratic
candidate for Governor, whose compre-
hensive mind and well trained judgment
of public policies, are capable of compre-
hending the evils that would be entailed
upon this country by imperial projects, is
opposed to this government entering upon
a career of land grabbing in distant parts of
the world, but such questions are not in-
volved in the work he has been called upon
to do, in restoring honest government to
this State, nor will they claim his attention
while engaged in the campaign that is in-
tended to overthrow a corrupt political
machine.
The silly jibes of the Inquirer well be-
comes a paper that does not appear to have
sense enough to be ashamed of being the
special organ of such a political character
as QUAY, nor sufficient comprehension to
understand the public injury it is doing in
supporting the iniquities of his machine
rule, if it could be supposed that it had
conscience enough to deter it from doing
what it knew to be wrong.
-—Congressman ARNOLD was in Phil-
ipshurg during the early part of the week
and the Ledger says he was laying lines for
the endorsement of the Centre county con-
vention. If everybody in the county
thought as kindly of him as the Ledger says
Philipsburg people do he would have plain
sailing, but such is not the case. His ap-
pearance in Philipshurg marks the opening
of a contest in this county that promises to
shake the Republican organization up so
badly that it will scarcely recognize itself
when the trouble is over. Gov. HASTINGS
and his friends are forced into the CLEM
DALE wing because they would sooner see
any other living man than ARNOLD win.
DALE, of course, is glad to have their aid
even though he cannot fail to realize that
they will only swing with him because
they consider him the easiest pill, of the
Wo nauseating ones, for them to swallow.
The Governor intends making a fight to
the finish right here, because he feels that
the only place left where he has any in-
fluence is Centre county and if he can’t
hold it against such an arch enemy as’
ARNOLD he will be a dead duck sure. Just
to show to what extremes they are going
already it might be mentioned that Col.
GEO. A. BAYARD made a mysterious trip
to Bedford during the fore part of the week.
Of course this would have no significance
under ordinary circumstances, but when it
becomes known that Col. BAYARD has
given up hopes of getting the post office,
that the Governor was sojourning at Bed-
ford at the time and that the Colonel came
home shouting for DALE for Congress and
REEDER for Senate anybody with any
political perspicacity will understand why
he went to Bedford, and that he was won
over by some of the fairy tales that are he-
ing manufactured to prejudice ARNOLD'S
chances.

is timely advice, no doubt, but we would

preaches and stop looking under her bed,

With Us.
the navy, secretary Long having to-day
issued an order requiring its use for decks
of battleships and monitors, the only place
from which it had been excluded by pre-
ceding orders on account of some com-
manders’ reports of dampness. The secre-
tary has decided that the battle of July
3rd has removed any doubt as to the im-
portance of protecting warships from fire
by the best means within reach. So he
will appoint a board to consist of a line
officer, a naval constructor and a chemist
to examine reports coming from officers
commanding ships fitted with fire proof
wood, especially those who were present
in the battle where the Spanish ships were
burned, and he has instructed the construc-
tion bureau to gather all the information
possible of this kind for submission to the
board.
WHITE ROBED PEACE.
NEW YORK, August 2.—A special to the
{ Evening Journal from Madrid, published
in a late extra edition of that paper, says :
*‘Spain accepts the principal conditions of
peace as set forth by the American govern-
ment, and only the peace details are needed
to cause all hostilities to cease at once. A
reace delegation will be chosen at once to
confer with the representatives of the
United States. The peace conditions set
forth by President McKinley were discuss-
ed at length to-day by Minister Sagasta,
and at the conclusion it was given out of-
ficially that the terms of the United States
would he accepted.
amendments in the proposition of the
United States that Spain will ask to be
made, and if this is done peace will be de-
clared at once.’

PoNcE, Porto Rico, July 31, via St.
Thomas, D. W. I.. Aug. 1.—Colonel Hul-
ings with 10 companies of the Sixteenth
Pennsylvania has occupied Juan Diaz,
about eight miles northeast of Ponce, on
the road to San Juan. The American flag
was raised and greeted with great enthusi-
asm by the populace.
The protected cruiser Columbia went
ashore while attempting to enter the harbor
of Ponce, but is expected she will be floated
to-morrow.
General Brooke arrived this evening.
During the afternoon seven companies of
the Nineteenth regular infantry arrived on
the Cherokee.
Cable communication was opened to-
night, but the line will not be in full opera-
tion for several days.
The railroad from Ponce to Yauco is now
in the possession of the United States
troops. General Stone found five mines on
the track. These were destroyed and the
track is uninjured.
Proclamations have been issued by the
authorities of Yauco as a United States city
expressing delight at annexation and the
administration of General Miles and wel-
coming the American troops.
The Mayor of Ponce has called upon all
the residents of that place to exercise calm-
ness and circumspection under the new and
desirable conditions. He also urges for-
bearance toward conquered enemies. Much
enthusiasm is everywhere manifested at the
sight of the stars and stripes.
General Miles has issued a lengthy order
of instructions of the same tenor as that he
gave to General Shafter at Santiago. THe
local mayor and judges and police will re-
main in authority, subject to the orders of
the military governor. Their receipts
amount to a considerable sum of money.
Chaplain Chadwick, of the Cincinnati,
formerly of the Maine, introduced to Gen-
eral Wilson this morning two of the lead-
ing Jesuits of Ponce, representing 1,000
churches and their dependents in this prov-
ince. The priests wanted information re-
garding their support, and General Wilson
said that under the constitution of the
United States it was not possible to apply
any governmental money for church pur-
poses.
Spanish volunteers continue to come in
and give themselves up in increasing num-
bers.
The following is the text of the mayor's
proclamation, issued at Yauco as a United
States city :
‘‘Citizens—To-day the citizens of Porto
Rico assist in one of her most beautiful
feasts. The sun of America shines upon
our mountains and valleys this day of July,
1898. It is a day of glorious remembrance
for each son of this beloved isle, because for
the first time there waves over her the flag
of the stars, planted in the name of the
Government of the United States of Ameri-
ca by the major general of the American
army, Senor Miles.
‘Porto Ricans, we are by the miraculous
intervention of the God of the just given
back to the bosom of our mother America,
in whose waters nature placed us as people
of America. To her we are given back in
the name of her Government by General
Miles, and we must send our most expres-
sive salution of generous affection through
our conduct toward the valiant troops rep-
resented by distinguished officers and com-
manded by the illustrious General Miles.
‘‘Citizens—Long live the government of
the United States of America. Hail to
their valiant troops ! Hail Porto Rico, al-
ways American !

Infanta Maria Teresa has Been Floated.
WASHINGTON, July 30.—The following
from Sampson was received at the navy de-
partment this morning :
“PLAYA DEL ESTE, July 29.—Infanta
Maria Teresa, upon which the wreckers
are now engaged, has been floated and will
be brought to Guantanamo as soon as a
small leak is located somewhere in the
bow of the ship. Whether this leak is due
to a small valve heing left open or a hole
which may have been made in her how is
not yet known. Her own pumps are be-
ing used to remove the water, there being
steam in one of her boilers.”’
No Extra Session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—There will be
no extra session of Congress, though the
Senate will have to be called together for
prompt ratification of the treaty of peace if
the present plans of the President prevail.
It was stated at the White House to-day
that unless there should be some extra-
ordinary development the House will not
meet until it convenes in regular session
next December. This statement, made on
the authority of the President himself in
answers to personal inquiries, is the con-
tradiction to reports current among public
men that Congress will soon meet to draft
legislation to meet the demands that will
follow the close of the war, as well as give
formal assent on the part of the Senate to
the treaty.
Congress to Meet Soon.
President Needs Legislation to Have Control of a
Large Army in Peace Times.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—If things turn
out according to the President’s present
expectations, he will call Congress together
again within a very few weeks, the Senate
to ratify a treaty of peace with Spain and
Senate and the House to enact legislation
authorizing the continuance under arms of
a larger body of troops than can under ex-
isting laws be kept in the field in times of
peace. Such legislation will be essential as
soon as a treaty of peace with Spain is rati-
fied by the Senate, because the laws under
which the regular army was raised to a
strength of 62,000 men, and 200,000 vol-
unteers were called into service provided
that these extraordinary bodies of troops
shall be mustered out when hostilities
cease.
It will probably take 100,000 men to
garrison Cuba, Porto Ricoand such territo-
ry as we decide to retain in the Philippines,
but in the absence of new legislation the
regular army on a peace footing of about
27,000 will be the extent of the forces which
the President will have at his command.
The President is confident that the ex-
change of views begun between Washing-
ton and Madrid, through the French minis-
ter, will lead without much delay to the

conclusion of a treaty of peace. He be-
{ lieves the Spanish government will accept
| our terms with reasonable promptness, and
| that hostilities will soon be at an end.
This view of the matter is not shared by
| all the members of the cabinet, however,
nor by army officers. But the President,
better informed of all the ins and outs of
the situation, probably than any one else,
holds serenely to the optimistic view and
looks for a minimum amount of diplomatic
| fencing.
Soldiers Ordered to Come North.
WASHINGTON, Aung. 3.—All the troops
of cavalry with Shafter’s army and the
eight companies of Roosevelt's Rough
Riders have been ordered to proceed to
Montauk Point, L. I., for encampment.
General Shafter has been directed to use
all the facilities he can command and to
send troops North as soon as possible. The
regular cavalry with Shafter comprises
eight companies, each of the First, Third,
Sixth, Ninth and Tenth cavalry, all dis-
mounted, and four mounted troops of the
Second cavalry.
Had Typhoid Fever.
ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 3.—One hundred
and sixty-six sick soldiers brought from
the camp at Tampa, Fla., were landed at
Fort McPherson to-day by Major Tyler,
with his hospital train.” Nearly every man
aboard the train had typhoid fever and
was unable to rise from his berth, and,
with a very few exceptions, every man on
the train was carried on a stretcher to his
ward in the hospital.
Those Sick at Camp Alger.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Such of the
men at Camp Alger as are too ill to be re-
moved with safety on the breaking up of
camp will be taken to the general hospital
at Fort Meyer, Va., for treatment. Those
only slightly ill will accompany the com-
mand. The facilities for attending the
sick at Fort Meyer have been very much
enlarged of late, the riding hall now being
put to use for housing the sick.
Shatter’s Report.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—General Shaf-
ter’s report of the sanitary conditions of
his army on August 1st, received at- the
war department to-day, is as follows :
Total sick, 4,289 ; total fever cases, 3,179 ;
new cases of fever, 639 ; cases fever return-
ed to duty, 679. There were fourteen
deaths on August 1st.

location within a few days.
The Fifth Pennsylvania will get to move
camp at last probably, since all requests
for a change 1n location are being granted.
It is very muddy in and about the camp of
the Fifth again, fresh rains having fallen
Sunday.
The Fifth Pennsylvania was working on
its pay rolls Sunday and Adjutant Fair
and his force of clerks were very busy.
Lieutenants Stayer and Caldwell, who have
typhoid fever on Lookout Mountain, are
improving. :
Col. Burchfield, of the Fifth Pennsylva-
nia, has received from the adjutant general
of Pennsylvania commissions for Second
Lieutenant Robert H. Wiggins, company
B, to be first lieutenant of company L, and
for Sergeant William C. McKee, company
D, to be second lieutenant of the same
company. Lieutenant McKee was former-
ly captain of company D.
The Fifth was reviewed and inspected
by Col. Burchfield at 8 a. m. on the Smith
White field. After the review and in-
spection each batallion commander mus-
tered the companies of his batallion in the
company streets. The boys of the First,
Fifth and Ninth Pennsylvania regiments
will receive their pay some day this week.
It will require ahout $60,000 to pay the
three regiments.
Sergeant Major Butler, of the Fifth, who
has been laid up some time by a spell of
illness, is now much better, and is able to
be out.
Captain Hugh S. Taylor, of company B,
and Quartermaster Sergeant Herbert E.
Burchfield, of the Fifth, have returned
from Pennsylvania, where they were doing
recruiting service.
The equipment of the First, Fifth and
Ninth Pennsylvania is now fully completed
and the boys are consequently happy. The
boys of the First have drawn some very
fine underwear for service in Porto Rico,
and now they are glad they were kept
“waiting so long. In some of the regiments
the underwear is much heavier and of
coarser material. The suits are what gen-
erally retail at $1 a garment, but the gov-
ernment gets them in large quantities at 31
cents each. The boys of the Ninth also
profited by waiting a long time on new
uniforms and shirts, as the material is
much better than that issued to some of
the other regiments. In the way of cloth-
ing, Chief Quartermaster Lee is taking
good care of the Pennsylvania boys.

Mill Hall Has a $20,000 Fire.
The Town Again Threatened with Destruction by
Flames.—Fire Started in Mann’s Hardware Store
Causes a $20,000 Loss and Makes Nine Families
Homeless.
The hustling little town of Mill Hall,
about twenty niles east of Bellefonte, was
badly schorched by fire last Thursday night
and for awhile the helpless residents be-
came almost panic stricken as the flames
roared and leaped from one building to
another and they had no appliances for
trying to save their property. To add to
their consternation some powder that was
stored in the rear of Mann’s hard ware store
exploded with terrific force blowing a
shower of sparks high into the air.
The flames were first seen eating their
way through the rear end of Mann & Co.’s
hardware store, shortly before 10 o'clock.
As soon as the cries of “Fire !’’ were heard.
Councilman Aaron Kyler, who resides op-
posite the burning building, telephoned to
Lock Haven for the fire apparatus. One
of the steamers and the Hope hose carriage
were sent up as quickly as possible. The
Hand-in-Hand carriage was attached to a
trolley car and was whirled to the scene as
fast as the electricity could carry it.
The flames spread rapidly. A light
breeze swept through the gap in a north-
eastwardly direction and gave the fire a
steady force. A number of citizens formed
themselves into a bucket brigade and did
heroic work in saving the Kyler hotel,
which came near being ignited several
times. The flames meanwhile spread to
the houses on each side of the hardware
store, and proved so destructive that they
were soon beyond the saving point.
The fire apparatus from Lock Haven
dashed up to the fire shortly before 11
o’clock. The steamer was set to work and
began pumping water from the mill race.
Two lines of hose were laid and three
streams were soon playing on the flames.
These heavy streams immediately had a
subduing effect and the flames at once
yielded to the superior force of the ex-
tinguisher. By 11:30 o’clock the Lock
Haven firemen had the fire under control.
BELLEFONTE APPEALED TO FOR HELP.
When the flames were at their highest
fury the Bellefonte department was called
upon for aid and in less than half an hour
the Logan engine company had their engine
loaded on a car at the C. R. R. of Pa. sta-
tion ready to start for the scene, but word
came that they were not needed and then
it was taken off and hack to the engine
house.
How the flames started is not known,
Grant Crispen, clerk for Mann & Co., en-
tered the store shortly before 10 o'clock.
On entering the store he saw the flames
burning near a window at the extreme end
of the warehouse. He hastened upstairs
to get the books, hut as he was coming
down he was compelled to throw them
down and make his escape from the room,
as he was nearly suffocated by the smoke,
There had been no fire in the store nor in
the warehouse all evening, and the doors
had been closed shortly after 8 o’clock.
As a result of the fire, eight buildings
and several sheds and out-buildings were
destroyed. The following are the names
of the sufferers with their losses and in-
surance :
The two-story building owned by Mis.
L. M. Cole, of Washington, was occupied
by Mann & Co.’s store on the first floor.
Mann &Co.’s loss is placed at about $6,-
500 ; insurance. W. H. Mann reports
that he also lost private papers worth to
him from $400 to $1,200.
Pleasant Valley castle, K. G. E. occu-
Paraphenalia
was lost. Insured $615. The ladies aux-
iliary of the same organization had $100
insurance, on their paraphernalia.
The frame flats were owned by Mrs.
Cole and occupied by C. E. Greninger, S.
A. Wilt, John Peters, John Crispen and
John Hall. Greninger’s insurance on
household goods, is $150 ; on Peters’ the
insurance, is $300 ; Mrs. John Peters, on
piano, $350, and Crispen’s, $300. :
The row of flats were owned by Mrs. L.
M. Cole, and were insured for $2,500.
The Mann building owned hy Mrs. Cole
was valued at $2,500, insurance of $1,500.
The double stone building known as the
8. R. Stover stone building, owned by Geo.
Barrett. An insurance of $500, was on the
dwelling.
Messrs. Wilt, Hall and Murray are un-
fortunates, as they had no insurance on
their goods.
The double two-story stone and frame
building was owned by Robert Mann, and
was one of the landmarks of the town.
Gearhart & Co., have $1,000 insurance on
the property.
The building was occupied by L. S.
Frazer and Wesley Crispen.
Dr. McCloskey’s dwelling and the Kyler
hotel were slightly damaged, but the losses
are covered by insurance.
The losses will aggregate $20,000.

IN THE SociAL WHIRL. — All predic-
tions were fulfilled by the first of the series
of mid summer assemblies in the armory
last Friday night. It proved a really de-
lightful affair, but so warm that is was
indeed remarkable that no one was pros-
trated by the heat. There was a large
number of people present and so many
strangers among them that it scarcely look-
ed like a regular Bellefonte dance. The
experiment of doing without cards led to
confusion in a great many cases and while
there was the customary parade of regret
and make-believe anger whenever a young
lady or gentleman would find themselves
out of a dance, owing to a misanderstand-
ing as to which one it was to have been,
down in their hearts they were secretly
glad of every opportunity to get a rest and
try to cool off.

The lawn party at the home of Miss
Eleanor Mitchell, on Saturday evening,

Mr. Edward Blanchard’s walking party
to Eagle’s Nest began this week’s festivities
on Monday evening and though Mr. Edward
took toa wheel, himself, the others en-
joyed the picturesque scenery while they
walked. In fact a few of the party were
quite overcome with the rugged hills
silhoutted against the azurine sky and had
to return to town, but the most of them
reached the enchanting spot and took
luncheon on the rocks there.

Tuesday night there was a twosing party
up to Point McCoy. Inasmuch as the af-
fair was of such a nature it wouldn’t do to
explain who was there, but they had a
corn roast on the summit, and came home
very jubilant over the tramp up the sinuous
mountain pass to the Point.

Ten couples took supper at the Fort,
Wednesday evening. It was a driving
party arranged in honor of Miss Elizabeth
Peal, of Lock Haven, who is the guest of
Miss Rebekah Blanchard, of east Linn
street. Several of the party started early
and went to the cave, returning to the
Fort in time to join the others at supper.
It proved about the most enjoyable of the
summer’s outings, as each carriage was
loaded with a fine sense of the necessity of
getting thoroughly congenial spirits to-
gether.
Centre Hall.
Dr. D. Solly and wife, ef Harrisonburg,
Va., who have been on a visit to Mrs. Solly’s
parents for some time, go to Philadelphia for
a few weeks before returning to their field of
labor in Virginia.
Mrs. Anna Mingle Hoy and her little
daughter, of Philadelphia, are at home with
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Mingle and will remain
for some time.
Centre Hall is to have a creamery. A rep-
resentative of the Howard Creamery com-
pany put in his appearance at this place the
other day and asked the town to furnish a
site on which to build a creamery. W. B.
Mingle, Esq. took him in charge and in less
time than it takes to tell it, a site was secured
from W. H. Bartholomew--Mr.Mingle and the
latter gentleman to divide the cost equally
between them. It is given out by the How-
ard company’s agent that work will be com-
menced at once on the building, and that the
new enterprise will be put in motion in short
order. The Valley could support double the
amount of cows kept at present, and there is
no doubt but that dairying will be given
more attention in the future by farmers
The conditions following a district devoted
to dairying is always wholesome from a finan-
cial point of view, hence the prospect of de-
veloping this industry should be looked upon
with interest by all.
