‘WHOSE BABY Was It ?—A startling dis-
covery was made by a brakeman on a west
bound local freight on the Bald Eagle val-
ley, Wednesday afternoon. When the
train reached Port Matilda a baby was
found in one of the box cars. It was plainly
a new born child and bad no clothing at all
on ; being merely wrapped up inan old
shawl.
As the train was a local freight and had
made a number of stops between I.ock Hav-
en and Port there was no way of telling
where the babe had been placed on the car,
or whether it had been alive when it start-
ed on its journey.
Such a case needs police attention, for it
might possibly have been one of the most
cruel forms of infanticide.
A
GREAT REFORM GATHERING HERE

AN East LAMB ST. HOUSE BURNED. —
Between twelve and one o’clock Tuesday
morning the frame dwelling house occupied
by the Misses Margaret’ and Jennie Laugh-
lin, on east Lamb street, caught fire from a
defective flue and was burned to the
ground.
The fire wasseen by several people about
the same time and when they arrived at
the scene the front door of the house had
to he broken in before the ladies could he
aroused. Chas. McClelland, John Laurie
and Calvin Pifer were on the scene early
and as the fire burned very slow they were
able to save most of the household goods.
The fire had gained such headway before
the arrival of the companies as to make it
impossible to save the Laughlin house, so
all of their energies were directed to sav-
ing adjoining property, some of which was
on fire several times.
There was $500 insurance on the furni-
ture and $800 on the building. The prop-
erty belonged to the estate of the late Mar-
tin Laughlin and will hardly be rebuilt.
THE THIRTY DAY FURLOUGH EXPIRED.
—The furlough of the soldiers of the Fifth,
U. S. Vols., expired at eleven o’clock on
the morning of the 18th and the companies
reported at their various armories for duty.
B company located in this place has natur-
ally been the object of greatest interest to
Centre countians and its future always a
matter of conjecture. Seventy-two of the
boys were on hand when Capt. Taylor
called them back to duty in the armory at
eleven o’clock Tuesday morning, four fell
in before the inspection was over and the
fifteen Philipsburg members arrived on an
afternoon train. About ten of the men are
still at their homes or in hospitals where
they are confined by illness.
In his speech to the men Capt. Taylor
announced that their time of final muster-
ing out had been extended until Novem-
ber 7th and that they would be expect-
ed to hold themselves in readiness for duty
at any moment. That meant that none of
them dare work, they must all wear their
uniforms constantly and report at the ar-
mory at 9 a. m. and 4 p. m. for roll call.
It seems pretty hard to compel the boys to
loaf about here for twenty days longer, to
subsist on their scanty $13 per month pay
and the 50cts. per day that has been al-
lowed t’\em for rutions. ~~. ;
It has been decided that the Fifth is to
go to the Peace Jubilee in Philadelphia,
but funds have been provided to trans-
port only 50 men of each company in the
regiment. Some of the companies have de-
clared their intention of staying at home
unless all the men are taken, while others
will draw lots for chances on the trip.
Adjutant General Stewart says that
former members of the National Guard,
who enlisted in the United States service
and were honorably discharged, will be
given sixty days after their muster out to
re-enlist in the National Guard, and those
who re-enlist within the next sixty days
will be credited with continuous service in
the National Guard. The old regiments
will retain their old numbers.
ACCORDING TO FOSTER.—The next dis-
turbance is to reach the Pacific coast about
the 18th, cross the west of Rockies country

leys 25th to 22nd, eastern States 23rd.

ALL THE COUNCILMEN PRESENT.—
Something is certainly going to happen
soon. All of the councilmen have attend-
ed two successive meetings. On Monday
night they were all there and transacted
the following business.
The request of L. C. Wetzel for an addi-
tional light on Curtin street was referred
to the Street committee for investigation
and report. Mrs. Bernard Powers’ request
to have the water main extended to her
property on east Lamb street was acted up-
on and the Water committee was instructed
to lay a 1} inch pipe. Requests were made
for new sidewalks along Ridge street, be-
tween Curtin and Beaver, and on east Bish-
op street walk was reported in bad shape.
Both were referred to the Street committee.
A renewal of the $10,000 insurance policy
on the boilers at the water works was ap-
proved.
The Street committee reported work done
on Bishop, Lamb and Thomasstreets. The
Fire and Police committee had no report to
make. The Water committee reported a
new fire plug placed at the corner of Cur-
tin'and Spring streets, sundry repairs to
the service and that the steam pump is
running sixteen hours a day. The market
committee reported the collection of $5.50
in fees.
Upon being hauled up before council for
not properly performing the functions of
his office James McCafferty informed the
august body that it is not his duty as high
constable to arrest itinerant cows. Jim
told them that they had no jurisdiction
over him and couldn’t make him resign
and there he had them, for they didn’t
know whether they could or not.
Col. W. Fred Reynolds appeared and of-
fered to pave the alley between his prop-
erty and the Blanchard house, on Linn
street, if council would abandon it, but
council came to the conclusion that it did
not have the power to do it. After decid-
ing to build a new vitrified brick sidewalk
in front of the water works bills to the
amount of $335.22 were approved and
council adjourned.
