THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY ——The Centre Hall evaporating estab- lishment has used up 1,400 bushels of fruit within a few days. Presiding elder Dr. D. S. Monroe delivered a masterful sermon in the Meth- odist church in this place last Sunday even- ing. —If any man in Bellefonte imagines that there isn’t anything to live for all he needs to do is to watch the army of pretty girls that troops up and down our streets. Rev. W. P. Shriner, of the Walnut Ave. church, Altoona, will preach in the Methodist church in this place at both morning and evening services on Sunday. ——DBanker Wm. B. Mingle, of Centre Hall, is going to try peach growing as an investment. He has purchased the Greiter property, near Penns Cave, and intends setting out a peach orchard in the spring. ——I. Rush McClintick, employed as a lineman at this place by the Central Penn- sylvania telephone company, has been transferred to Williamsport and Benton Tate will take the place he has vacated here. ——Frank Wallace Jr., of Milesburg, who is lying in a Columbus, Ohio, hospital seriously hurt by his fall from the 5th Reg. train, is improving. The latest word was received from him on Saturday and it was very encouraging. ——To-morrow the Nittany Rod and Gun club will entertain the property owners on whose lands the club has game protective rights. There will be a big dinner at the club house and amusements for both men and women during the day. Roger Bayard, who was in Ponce, Porto Rico, as an orderly on Gen’l Brooke's staff, has written to his father, in this place, under date of Sept. 26th, that he is well and in good spirits. He expected to sail for Santiago, Cuba, on the 27th, thence to the United States. —1It is reported that Wm. Fisher, the Unionville nurseryman. will pack 10,000 bushels of apples this fall. He has grown 7,000 bushels in his own orchards and will buy 3,000 bushels to fill his cold storage house. Each apple is wrapped in paper and packed away until sold. —In next week’s issue we will pub- lish a full digest of the game laws of Penn- sylvania. Though it frequently appears in print there is a continual request for it and it is particularly with the desire of keeping our sportsmen straight that we re- publish it just on the eve of the fall gun- ning season. ——Robert F. Hunter is at work filling up the mustering out blanks for the mem- bers of Co. B, 5th Reg. U.S. V. It is the intention to insert the name of each soldier on his discharge certificate in old English lettering, so that the papers will have an artistic appearance commensurate with their value as souvenirs for the boys who were in Uncle Sam’s service until honor- ably discharged. ——Owing to continued ill health Rev. W. J. Stewart, pastor of the Methodist church at Pleasant Gap, has relinquished his charge. His people showed very little consideration or justice in their treatment of him and it strikes us.that if some of the churches don’t get a little of the spirit of Christ into their action soon they will be beyond reviving. ——Ten year old Alvin Fetters, of Pot- ter street, found a loaded dynamite cart- ridge on Sunday and immediately pro- ceeded to find out whether it was any good. He placed it on a stone and struck it with a hatchet. The cartridge proved good enough to make everything in that locality fly. It exploded with terrific force wounding the boy seriously in the face and neck. ——On Monday of last week L. H. Mec- Cauley and Miss Emma Bergstresser, both of Hublershurg, were married. The cere- mony was performed at the home of Rev. George 8. Bright, in Philipsburg, whither they had gone to be united because the bride is a sister of Mrs. Bright. The groom is a thrifty young farmer in Nittany val- ley and is a son of John McCauley, one of the well-known men down there. —Bellefoute’s new military organiza- tion, Co. M, 21st Reg. N. G. P. has received a portion of its equipment. The boys will bave new ’98 model 45cal. Springfield rifles. They are different from the old guns in having the bayonet fastened on the ram-rod, consequently there will be no side arms to rattle on the hip of the modern soldier. The new rubber blankets have flies for arm holes and a neck-yoke, so that they will serve the dual purpose of blanket and rubber coat. They have single web cartridge belts of the regular army pattern and haversacks with web straps. : ——F'red Blair, eldest son of Frank P. Blair, of this place, has been very seriously ill with typhoid fever during the past week. On Tuesday his temperature was away up to 104.8° and it was a question whether he would survive. He is better now and his friends are quite hopeful of his recovery. He came home from Pittsburg on Tuesday of last week, feeling unwell and took his bed at once. Dr, Fussel, the fever expert at the University hospital, Philadelphia, was here to see him on Wednesday. The eminent physician is a brother of Mrs. Blair. HowARD’S GALA DAY FOR THE SOL- DIERS.—The citizens of Howard and the district about that thriving little town did themselves proud last Friday by the recep- tion they gave in honor of the boys they had furnished for the Hispano-American war. A more perfect day for such an event could not have been made to order and the town was resplendent in patriotic decorations and effervescent with hospi- tality. A crowd of several thousand peo- ple were there to enjoy the program which a hustling committee had planned for the day’s entertainment of the soldiers and the expectations of all were more than fulfilled. The morning ceremonies began with a parade which formed on Black street, near the station, and moved promptly at 10:30. It was led by grand marshall Cap’t. S. H. Bennison and J. N. Bogle, chief of staff. The aides were Col. John A. Daley, Walter Jenkins, J. S. Holter, Cap’t. J. A. Quigley, D. U. Irvin, Reuben Snyder, M. S. Betz, Will Weber, R. H. Bennison, Claude Moore, H. C. Holter, J. W. Mayes, J. F. Holter, W. T. Leathers, Chas. Wood- ward, Hunt Thomas, Scott Neff, R. H. Thompson, R. Gardner, John Buck, Oscar Lucas, Will Schenck and Eddie Bechtel. Following them were the members of the town council, the local ministry, repre- sentatives of the press and invalid soldiers in carriages; Undine band, Bellefonte ; Gregg post, Bellefonte ; Grove Bros. post, Howard ; Geo. Harleman post, Blanchard ; Foulk’s drum corps, Bellefonte ; Co. B, 5th Reg. U. S. V. Bellefonte ; Linn Bros. drum corps, Blanchard ; Howard camp P. O. S. of A. and visiting members of the order ; thirty-three ladies and gentlemen on bicycles and a large patriotic float carrying seventeen girls, representing the public schools of Howard. The parade moved from Black to Grove, to Main, countered to Walnut, to south Walnut, countered to Black, where the speakers’ stand was erected in front of the hose house. It was a very creditable parade and was applauded all along the line of march by the crowds that thronged the side walks. The public meeting was presided over by Hon. John A. Woodward, who was in- troduced hy Mr. J. Norris Bogle, chairman of the committee. Mr. Woodward made a neat speech, touching on the sad side of the story of the soldiers’ home coming without all of the boys who went off to the front in April. The band played, then Rev. J. R. Sechrist pronounced the invocation. A chorus of young ladies and gentlemen sang ‘‘America,’’ as the next number, and Rev. A. P. Wharton was introduced for the ad- dress of welcome. He was followed by Cap’t. H. S. Taylor, of B company, whose interesting response was given close atten- tion. After the band had played ‘‘the Stars and Stripes Forever,”” Hon. John G. Love was introduced and talked until it was time for dinner, when the crowd was invited to the public school grounds, where the ladies of the community. served a delicious lunch. During the afternoon Cap’t. Taylor and his men gave an exhibition drill that lasted an hour or more. The men were in fine fettle and went through the various move- ments with a dash that was inspiring. The rest of the day was given over to pleasures of whatever sort each person craved and a general good time was had. It was certainly an eventful day for Howard and that it was managed so well and pleasantly is a credit to all concerned. The residents of that vicinity seemed the personification of good-will and received so graciously and entertained so well that theirs was surely up to the standard of lavish fetes that have been given our sol- dier boys since their return. The committees in charge were : Arrangements—J. Norris Bogle, chair- man ; A. Weber, J. Will Mayes, H. A. Moore. Provisions—D. R. Wilson, chairman ; S. H. Bennison, Hunter Thomas, Max Alli- son, H. C. Holter, Chas. Woodward and J. Grant Swires. Finance—Jokn 8. Holter, chairman ; S. Frank Holter, John Weber, Hayes Schenck, Will Weber, W. H. Long and John A. Daley. gen. MicHAEL KELLY’S HOUSE BURNED.— A two story frame house on Beaver street, owned and occupied my Michael Kelley, was destroyed by fire Sunday evening en- tailing a loss of about $1,000. He has $700 insurance cn the building and $200 on furniture. The fire alarm sounded just ahout the time the churches were leaving out and the streets were crowded with excited peo- ple, all bewildered as to the location of the fire until the flames were discovered shoot- ing high into the heavens in the northern end of town. There was no one at home but Mary, the eldest daughter, who was sitting on the front porch when the reflection of the flames on an adjacent house attracted her attention. Upon looking up she discovered the whole roof of her home in flames. She ran to give the alarm, but the fire had gain- ed such headway before its discovery that it was impossible to save the building. The people who got there ahead of the fire department succeeded in saving some of the furniture, but the building is a total loss. The fire is supposed to have been caused by a defective flue. Saas -——Editor R. A. Bumiller, of the Mill- heim Journal, who has been seriously ill with paralysis, has been in a little more hopeful condition since Tuesday, when he took a slight turn for the better. Qf rr Sixty-three year old Jesse Kreamer, of Millheim, enjoyed a surprise birth-day party that was given at his home on Tues- day evening. ——The Falls Creek girl who does’nt know what an ox is must be in blissful ignorance of what a glorious event it makes to roast an ox whole. — ee ——The Bellefonte club closed its doors on Oct. 1st. A decline in membership necessitated the suspension. The club will probably be reorganized. —— lr —J. C. Linginger, general secretary of the lately reorganized Lock Haven Y. M. C. A., has resigned, the resignation to take effect on December 1st. ote That Sugar valley rail-road scare is being revived and the farmers down there will be dreaming again that the iron horse is snorting along through their fields. —eie= ——Mill Hall’s new fire brick works started operations on Monday morning.

If they would like to save expense by tak- ing one at second hand Bellefonte might dispose of hers to advantage. Something ought to be done with it soon or the corpse will have to be re-embalmed. seh eget ——The many friends of ‘‘Billy’’ Tay- lor, the conductor who is so popular on the Beech Creek road, will sympathize with him in the sorrow. that the death of his aged mother has caused. She was 71 years old and was found dead in bed at her home, in Williamsport, on Friday morning. et ——Chas. W. Scott has at last succeeded in landing the Williamsport post-office plum. His appointment was announced on Monday and ought to give general sat- isfaction, for besides being a very popular Williamsporter he is a man thoroughly competent to direct postal service in that city. ene ip rl Rev. M. K. Foster, of Lock Haven, whose departure for Savannah, Ga., was mentioned .in last week’s issue of the WATCHMAN, has returned, bringing his son with him.

Marstellar, of the Lehigh Valley Co’s. coal operations at Snow Shoe, met with an accident, on Sun- day morning, that will lay him up for some time.

His leg was broken above the knee and other- wise seriously crushed. *Pe ——County superintendent George W. Weaver has introduced a uniform course of study into the Clearfield county public schools. The system is divided into eight grades and teachers are all supplied with record books which they keep and band to their successors, so that any teacher can see just what grades a scholar has made dur- ing fifteen years, if attendance at school should continue that long. —eoto ——Thomas Mahaffey, of McGhee’s Mills, Clearfield county, died at Lexing- ton, Ky., recently. He had enlisted in one of the Clearfield companies and having taken the fever, was left in camp where he died. He was a brother of Harry Ma- haffey, who was a studentat the Bellefonte Academy for several years, and had he lived to come home it was his intention to enter the Academy here this fall. : eee —— While workmen were cutting through a rocky hill on the branch rail-road that is being built from Clearfield Bridge to Belsena they unearthed what has every in- dication of being the petrified body of an Indian. It was found seven feet below the surface. The body is a perfect specimen in every respect, the features being clean cut and lifelike, except for color, and the entire specimen resembling a statue chis- eled by a master hand. The arms of the Indian are folded. Ten men were required to remove the petrified body from its rest- ing place. Qe ——Joseph Gilliland and his brother E. I. Gilliland who for years have done a gen- eral merchandise business at Three Runs, Clearfield county, have sold their business and Joseph has already moved from the locality in which he had heen a leading spirit for years. He was in Bellefonte sev- eral weeks ago, looking for a business opening and caine prepared to buy a home here, but he could see nothing of promise and went on to Centre Hall, where he tried to buy a property near the park. Failing in that he has located in Lock Haven and Centre county has lost the opportunity to gain a most desirable citizen. Edward is remaining in Clearfield county to man- age the farm the boys own there.

Garis, 1 day special police.......... 135 $1,664 32 — einen A UTOPIAN RECEPTION.—One of the most delightful social events in which the young people of Halfmoon and Buffalo Run valleys have ever participated was a reception given by the ‘‘Utopian society of the Moon” in the Grand Army hall, at Stormstown, Friday evening, September 30th. About seventy-five guests were gathered in the large upper room of the hall, which had been made attractive with handsome potted plants. Several pleasant hours sped by with conversation and music and then an exodus was made to the din- ing hall below, where it was hoped some of the secrets of this mysterious society of young men would be revealed. But they proved themselves to be'as able to keep a secret as the proverbial ‘‘man in the moon.’ The room was a veritable bower of beauty, with its festoons of spruce, while the tables, brilliant with snowy linen and a profusion of flowers, held also the usual amount of things pleasant to the taste, Af- ter enjoying the delicious fruits, ice cream, cake and coffee the minds of all were turn- ed to thoughts grave and gay by the toast master, the Rev. R. W. Runyan. The walls, artistically decorated with quota- tions from the wit and wisdom of all ages, were rich in suggestions to those whose lot it was to respond to toasts. Mr. Harry Ebbs then gave a half hour’s entertainment with his gramaphone. So pleasantly did the time pass that the ‘‘man in the moon’’ had made more than half his nightly journey before the guests reluctantly bade good night to his repre- sentatives on this planet, their gallant hosts. Much of the success of the evening was due to the ingenuity and active efforts of the committee composed of Messrs. Har- lacher, Gray, Burkett, Way, R. R. and J. T. Runyan. coSaikiiic tails REV.

Long’s mill, at Howard, at an early hour Sunday merning, and the force of the explosion awoke a number of the residents in that portion of the town. The whole front of the safe was blown out, most of it having been sent flying through the front window into the street. Mr. Long beard the report and looked at his watch. It was then about two o’clock Sunday morning, but he did not go over to his office. Mr. and Mrs. Balser Weber heard it also. Upon investigation Sunday morning it was found that all of his deeds, insurance papers and Securities had been carried off with the eight or nine dollars in cash that was in a large wallet in the safe. ——The week-day holiday at the Bir- mingham seminary has been changed from Saturday to Monday. eee All eee. —Patton is to have an electric lighting plant.

S. Furst Esq., of Philadelphia, spent Sunday at the home of his parents in this place. He went on to Pittsburg, on Monday morning, to be there for a dinner which a Princeton class- mate gave to his ushers the night before his wed- ding. —J. W. Orr, of Walker, was in town last even- ing and inasmuch as he was carrying around sev- eral small bows and arrows we presumed that he was preparing a way for the children down at his home to have a good time shooting the cows, win- dows, and everything else in sight. —Hon. J. N. Cassanova left Philipsburg last Saturday morning on his way to Cuba, where it is his intention to try to get his sugar plantations in_ to productive condition again.

He is a brother of our esteemed patron, Mr. Samuel Sproul, one of Nittany valley’s best farmers and while Samuel is married and has a family of interesting children his brothers Hezekiah and John have found Samuel’s home so pleasant that they have made it theirs for years. The three boys own the fine farm on which they live together. —J. N. Brooks, of Pleasant Gap, was in town Wednesday afternoon, looking the picture of good health and prosperity. The business he is in now has much to do with the latter, we suppose, for the planing mill he is interested in out there is doinga fine business and turning out work that pleases everyone. A specialty is made of fine hand-railings, balcony rails, stair cases and porch ornaments, all of which are done to a nicety at the mill, In driving through Pleasant Gap peo- ple doubtless often wonder where the artistic work is done that adorns so many of the houses out there. We can tell you. It is done at Brook's mill. —Peter Robb Sr., of Romola, was in town Tues- day making arrangements for the sale he has ad- vertised for November 3rd. Mr. Robb has de- cided to quit farming and move into Howard, where he will occupy the house of Ira M. Packer, his deceased son-in-law. Mr. Packer died some months ago, leaving two orphan children the care of which Mr. and Mrs. Robb have assumed. Peter Robb Sr., is one of that sturdy class of Ger- man farmers that has done so much for the de- velopment and substantiability of Centre county. He landed in this country when he was twenty- seven years old and located with his father in Lancaster city. Peter soon decided that he was not cut out for a city boy and told his father so. They had alittle money that had been realized by the sale of their property in Germany and Peter decided he would like to invest ina farm. Ac- cordingly he started to hunt up some friends who were living out on Marsh creek and made the journey up the State alone. Notwithstanding his father’s fear that he would ‘get lost” he found the place and has lived in that vicinity ever since, having grown to be one of the representative men of that region. He has two farms now and has raised a family of children of yhom any parent might be proud. While driving down the hill on east Bishop street, on Tuesday afternoon, C. M. Garman, of the Garman house, met with an accident that only his coolness and nerve kept from being a very serious one. He was driving his brother’s brown horse and had hi. little son in an open wagon beside him. When near Keller's hotel the ring by which the holding-hack strap was fastened to the breeching pulled out. Of course this allowed the wagon to run forward onto the horse’s heels. The animal became frightened and started to run and kick, but Corney held itin as close as he could, so that in kicking its heels did not fly high enough to place them in danger. The horse ran down to the cor- ner of Spring and Bishop, when Mr. Gar- man turned it up the hill and got it stop- ped. In making the sharp curve the little boy tumbled out. He escaped with only a slight cut on the head. The horse’s legs were pretty badly skinned up, bat as soon as he was taken back to the stable new harness was put on him and he went off as if nothing had happened. —— Os.
