Le
A FRIGHTFUL STORM IN NITTANY VAL-
LEY.—The mest destructive storm of the
season passed over this seetion last Satur-
day evening and while it was severe
enough for all purposes right here in
Bellefonte its greatest fury seems to have
been spent in Nittany valley. In fact it
swept eastward with ever increasing force.
It rained very hard in Bellefonte, a
number of telephone wires were struck by
lightning and the home of C. C. Shuey, on
High street, was struck ; Mrs. Shuey, hav-
ing been in the act of lowering a window
at the time, was slightly stunned. Down
Nittany valley it played havoc.
While the storm was very heavy at
Clintondale and vicinity there was very
little rain at Mackeyville. The steeple on
the Evangelical church, however, was
blown over. At Loganton the rain fell in
sheets and a great deal of the surface wa-
ter poured into the cellars.
The house of Mrs. Roffe, at Mill Hall,
was struck by lightning, the shock of
which was very preceptibly felt by the in-
mates.
Near Salona the lightning struck the
chimney of Isaac Reish’s dwelling, and
the fiery fluid ran through the rooms and
over the stove. Mrs. Reish was stunned
by the force of the stroke, but soon re-
covered.
From Clintondale to Lamar seventeen
uprooted trees were counted. A large
pine tree was blown across the tracks of the
Central railroad, causing a delay to the
picnic train returning from Hecla of over
an hour. An elm tree on the George J.
Eldred’s estate, that had withstood the
storms for fifty years, was blown over.
The storm’s fury was all spent between
the hours of 6 and 7 in the evening. It
was the most frightful combination of rain,
hail and wind that ever passed over the
valley and its path is marked by a track of
desolation four miles wide—or extending
from Nittany to one mile east of Clintondale.
A perfect swath of trees were felled about
the old Clintondale camp meeting grounds
and scores of fruit trees went down before
the big blow.
Dr. Smith’s orchard is completely ruined.
Lightning struck his house and tore the
slate from one half of the roof, leaving the
rain pour in in torrents and ruining many
of his household goods.
Other buildings struck were the Evan-
gelical church, David Wolf’s house, Adam
Heckman’s farm house, all in or near Clin-
tondale. Jacob Krape’s implement build-
ing blew down and his binder and other
implements were destroyed.
Hail seriously damaged the corn and
tobacco crops on Andy Hunt’s farm. His
loss in these alone will reach $800. Cyrus
Walker’s corn crop is a total loss and many
others have been nearly as unfortunate.
CouNcIL’S REGULAR SESSION.—ALIl but
one of the councilmen were present at the
meeting Monday night and the following
business was transacted.
A petition from the residents of the north
side of east High street was read in which
they asked for repairs to that thoroughfare
and a crossing from Fortney’s office to the
court house. It was referred to the Street
committee with power to make the needed
repairs.
W. H. Musser made complaint of nuis-
ances in front of D. Garman’s property on
east Lamb street and also that residents of
that quarter turn their slops into the sur-
face gutters. The matter was referred to
the Nuisance committee for investigation.
The borough solicitor made a report
against the high constable, charging that
official with neglect of duty in allowing
cows to run at large on the street. Council
took the matter up and demanded that he
either do his duty or resign.
Wm. Hill's request that a boardwalk be
laid in front of A. M. Hoover’s property on
north Water street was referred to the
Street committee.
The request of Mrs. Mary Quinn, of
Logan street, that she be exonerated from
the payment of taxes because she is poor
and ill and unable to make payment of
same, was referred to the Finance com-
mittee.
A badly needed crossing got before coun-
cil through a petition of Linu street folks.
They want a crossing over Locust alley
between the Reynolds and Blanchard
properties and they want it bad. The
crossing is needed there and the Street
committee should act accordingly.
Fire marshall Joseph Wise reported on
the Haag hotel fire that the loss was $2,000,
and the insurance of $1,200, also of the
bursting of several sections of hose.
The Water committee reported the clean-
ing of the reservoir and also that there is a
leak in it that cannot be located. The
pumps are running day and night and
about one million gallons of water are be-
ing consumed daily.
The Market committee reported the col-
lection of $10.20 fees for two weeks.
It was decided to uncover the small
reservoir and build it up to the same height
as the old one and then the question of re-
placing the one inch main on south Spring
street with a large pipe was referred to the
Water committee with power to act.
Bills to the amount of $803.06 were or-
dered paid and council adjourned.

The Bellefonte Reformed Sunday
school and congregation joined their breth-
ren from Lock Haven and Nittany valley

——Honors are falling thick and fast
upon W. G. Hoffer formerly of this county
but now editor of the Lincoln (Kansas)
Sentinel. A few weeks ago he was nomi-
nated for Congress by the Democrats in the
6th district in that State and now he is the
proud father of a fine young son.
BI
——Tyrone has a thing that was damna-
ble enough to steal a suit of clothes from a
ninety year old man up there. The clothes
had been given to the old fellow so that he
would look presentable when he went to
Pittsburg to visit his son and he had worn
tags in order to keep them nice for that
purpose.
The will of the late Rt. Rev. Thomas
McGovern of the Harrisburg diocese of the
Catholic church has been entered for pro-
bate. It was executed May 14th, 1895,
and set aside $1,000 for masses for the re-
pose of his soul, subject to the decision of
the next bishop. One third of his life in-
surance is left to his sister Annie McGovern
and the balance of his property goes to the
next bishop.
con
——George W. Barret, a demented man,
was arrested in Tyrone on Monday and he
is thought to be the man who made the
murderous assault on the proprietor of the
Leister house in Huntingdon a few weeks
ago. Barret, when he found out that Mr.
Leister is not dead from the effects of the
bullet wound in his abdomen, confessed to
having shot him. He was barefooted when
picked up by the Tyrone police and the
pair of shoes that were found in the hall of
the Leister house just fitted him.
oe —
——A fine barn on one of the Curtin
farms at Curtin Works was totally de-
stroyed by fire on Wednesday afternoon.
The tenant, Andrew Glenn, was busy haul-
ing in grain at the time the fire was dis-
covered and as the men were all out in the
fields very little of his stock was saved.
He lost a horse, two cows, some sheep and
pigs and most of his implements with all
of the grain and hay in the barn. As he
had no insurance the loss will fall heavily
upon him. Mr. Curtin had the barn fully
insured. The fire was undoubtedly caused
by spontaneous combustion. The story
that threshers had been at work there that
day is not true.
SEER
——The Democrats of Elk county ac-
complished a rather remarkable step toward
harmony at their convention on Tuesday
by nominating every candidate by acclama-
tion. That they were able to adjust all
their differences, incident to having several
aspirants for the same office, before the
assembly of their convention precluded the
possibility of any bad blood and was a long
stride toward success this fall. The nomi-
nees are: President judge, Hon. C. A.
Mayer, of Lock Haven; State Senator,
Hon. W. H. Hyde ; Assembly, Hon. G. R.
Dixon ; sheriff, J. W. Healy ; coroner, Dr.
Albert Milhaupt, of St. Mary’s ; surveyor,
John Morgan.

RELEASED ON A WRIT oF HABEAS
Corprus.—John Podolock, Andrew Podo-
lock, Steve Ferrak and Steve Menorik
the four Hungarians who were arrested on
suspicion of having been implicated in the
murder of Steve Potsulsky, were released
by a writ of habeas corpus, on Monday af-
ternoon.
The men had been in jail ever since the
big Hungarian picnic at Snow Shoe on
June 25th when Potsulsky was murdered,
and the attorney decided to make the Com-
monwealth show why they were held.
Accordingly a hearing before judge Love
was secured for Monday afternoon and he
discharged them when he learned that the
Commonwealth had nothing substantial on
which to remand them to jail.

ROLAND CURTIN TAKES A HAND IN THE

Rico. He is Roland Curtin, eldest son of
Gen. John I. Curtin, of Linn street, and

cal church. He is a Lutheran and as her

A BAp Mix Up. — About the worst
broken up bicycle we have ever seen was
the “Yellow FeHow’’ that Joseph Gessner
carried into Bellefonte on Monday evening.
He had started out for a ride about 6
o'clock and was speeding along the pike
above Valentine's iron works when he met
with the mishap that might have serious-
ly injured him, as well as smashed his
wheel beyond the possibility of repair.
He bad just reached the place where the
Nittany valley R. R. trestle crosses the
pike and, not seeing any one, he kept up
the smart clip he had been running at be-
fore, though he rang his alarm. Just as
he drew near to the crossing, Col. James
Coburn’s carriage came out from under it.
Coburn Rodgers was driving and at the
time was turned about in his seat talking
with the ladies who were with him. He
did not notice the hicycle until it was too
late and Gessner went flying right under
the horses. Fortunately he escaped with
only a few slight bruises, but the wheel
was literally torn to peices. It became
entangled in the carriage and was dragged
quite a distance down the road before it
was knocked loose.

——The Rt. Hon. EL1 TOWNSEND, of
Philipsburg, arrived in town on a bicycle
yesterday on a political hay making tour.
It is not known exactly where he stands

made here on April 14th, 1892, leads us to
believe that if he is not with ARNOLD he
will have to eat all he said then. It is
quite likely, however, he will take on the
J. A. D. style of “sawin’ wood” and try-
ing to get there ELI.
