I. Foreey, located at Cold Stream, near Philipsburg, was totally destroyed by fire at mid-night Monday. In addition to the slaughter house and cattle sheds, nine dressed carcasses, fifty beef hides, a lot of calf skins and sheep skins were burned. The loss is estimated at $2,000, against which there is a partial insurance. The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary origin. BELLEFONTE’S DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. —DBrigadier General Evan Miles, U. S. A, distinguished and promoted for exceptional bravery before Santiago, was an arrival at the home of Mrs. R. V. Pugh, on Curtin street. His health is so shattered that he is receiving as few callers as possible, hop- ing in the Cuban campaign. General Miles went to Cuba as the 1st Inf. fore El Caney, where he commanded the 1st, 4th and 25th regiments which formed the centre of Lawton’s division. His heroic action there, supplemented by his work in the trenches before Santiago, was ago he received a commission as Brigadier Gen eral in recognition of his services. He is a son of Richard Miles, one of our olden day residents, and a nephew of Joseph Miles, deceased, whose late home is on Bishop street, just opposite the Catholic church. In 1861 he was commissioned a 9nd Lieutenant in the army by Simon Cameron, the secretary of war. He fought with dis- tinction all through the rebellion and con- tinued in the service afterwards. He has been a great Indian cam paigner. General Miles’ mother was a Miss Van Cleve who was a teacher in the Bellefonte academy, when Robt. Valentine and his generation were boys, more than fifty years ago. The General is on his way to San Fran- cisco, but expects to remain here several weeks. While in Cuba he contracted southern fever and was in a precarious con- dition when brought to the hospital at Ft. McPherson, in Georgia, from which insti- tution he was only recently discharged. —— A POUND SoCTAL AT HUBLERSBURG.— The Ladies Aid society of the Reformed congregation at Walker had a pound social at the home .of Rev. J. M. Runkle, at Hublersburg, on Wednesday of last week. There were about forty-five people present and all seemed to have fully realized their duty. The ladies took quite a lot of eat- ables with them and the men had feed for the parson’s horse as their contribution So that both the wants of manjand beast were abundantly catered to. The society pre- sented Rev. and Mrs. Runkle with an ar- tistic wheel quilt. The list of good things to eat included everything from turkeys down to milk and honey. Besides the pound gifts there were re- freshments for the party, so that it was not long until a table had been spread and there was bountiful repast for all. After the dinner the president of the society, Mrs. Fred Schenck, called the assemblage to order and the business meeting ‘was opened with a prayer by the pastor. Miss Mabel Yearick, the secretary, them read the minutes of the previous meeting and Mrs. G. D. Glossner made her report as treasurer. It showed that since the organ- ization of the society, Feb. 3rd, 1897, up to the date of the last meeting, the pro- ceeds had amounted to $220, which the ladies had expended in beautifying the church. Among the improvements made have heen a new carpet, and inside sliding blinds. Remarks by the pastor followed this excellent report and then the president made an address in which she extolled the men who had lent a helping hand to the good work. This concluded the business portion of the program and the rest of the afternoon was given over to social enjoy- ment. Towards evening the party left for their homes, all having enjoyed the day immensely. vo ARRIVALS ARE FEW AT THE JAIL.— The advent of a new boarder at the jail, a few days ago, was hailed with delight by the ten inmates who had grown sick of one another’s society and longed for something new to drop in among them. The stranger was a gentleman by the name of Murphy. from Rush township. He decided to come over and board with sheriff Cronister be- cause he and his wife had a few little dif- ferences and their society was no longer mutually congenial. In fact it is reported that Mr. Murphy, out of the goodness of his heart, thought he would be doing his wife a positive kindness by promoting her transit into the next world. And offered so to do. While it was not Mrs. Murphy’s desire to cross her husband she preferred even that to crossing the Styx, but settled the whole matter more to her satisfaction by having Murphy brought across the moun- tain. ta INTERESTING COURSE OF ART LECTURES AT THE COLLEGE.—The department of in- dustrial art at the College has been so fortunate as to secure a course of three lect- ures on art by Mr. George Breed Zug, of Pittsburg. The lectures are illustrated by photographs which Mr. Zug personally collected in Italy, and the collection has been said to be the finest west of the Alle- ghenies. Mr. Zug is already known as a lecturer in Boston, Philadelphia, at Bryn Mawr College, and other places, as well as in Pitts- burg, and the public is anticipating a rare treat. The series began with the lecture given yesterday afternoon and will be continued this afternoon and to-morrow afternoon. The time of the lectures was set at 4 o'clock p. m., in order to give the people of Bellefonte and places in the vicinity an opportunity to attend. Course tickets for three lectures, only $1. Single tickets, 35 cents. ing that several weeks of quiet rest in this place will re-invigorate and bring about the robust health he enjoyed before participat- Col. of | election.

Gi lt Dr. J. B. Laird, who was a surgeon during the rebellion and afterwards located at Milesburg for the practice of medicine, died at his home, in Bellwood, on Saturday. Deceased was 73 years old and was a life- long member of the Presbyterian church. oven: —Uncle Tom’s Cabin will be played at Garman’s next Tuesday night. Though the modern interpretation of Harriet Beecher Stowe'’s great play has drifted about as far as possible from the original, the Martin company is one of the best that is playing it on the road and will probably please those who never get tired weeping when little Eva dies or laughing when Topsy does her funny “stunts’” with aunt Ophelia. —A special meeting of the Huntingdon presbytery was held at Tyrone on Monday for the purpose of dissolving the pastoral relations that had existed between Rev. T. S. Armentrout, of Spruce Creek, and his charge. Rev. Armentrout desired to be re- leased so that he could ‘accept a call toa church in the Lackawanna presbytery. He gave as his reason for desiring to make the change that his health has become such as to make it necessary for him to do as little traveling as possible. LES : pot pe ii f —— Blair county has taken the rather unprecedented course of rel easing murderers rather than bear the expense of prosecuting them. Frank Wilson, who was convicted of murdering old Henry Bonnecka, an Altoona recluse, and sentenced to be hung on Nov. 24th, 1897, was granted a new trial by the supreme court. Rather than lay out the $7,000 that would be necessar y for the trial he was taken into court last week and discharged. It had cost $40,000 to secure his conviction at the first trial. Le ——The Kennedy players closed an ex- ceptionally successful week’s engagement at Garman’s on Saturday. The S. R. O. sign was out before the curtain went up on the first act and the last appearance proved just as meritorious as the first. While the repertoire of the company is made up of the border drama style of plays they are all cast so that the exciting realism is had though they are toned down so as not to appear too full of blood and thunder. John J. Kennedy is clever enough to make a pleasing entertainment by himself. This is not too say that the other members of the company are not good. APE ——An anti spitting ordinance is badly needed in this town, for one can scarcely walk along the streets without having ones clothes contaminated. Our pavements are filthy with slime and tobacco juice. In the large cities the health protective so- cieties have waged war so incessantly in this direction that everyone is beginning to realize what a dirty and disease hreeding habit it is and stringent measures are being taken to prevent it. But here the spitter thrives and increases until your clothes are befouled by great squirts of tobacco juice, if you are obliged to go by their loafing places, and, worse still, you and all your fellow creatures breathe in the microbes or disease germs which they scatter broadcast on the walks and then wonder why you have consumption or its like. —-The wind storm that blew up so sud- denly late last Thursday night was more than the smoke stack on the steam laundry could stand and it went down before the blast. The large flag that had been float- ing from a cable stretched between the Bush house and the McClain block was blown down also. When the new roof was put on the Bush house a few weeks ago the mechanics removed the iron anchor ring and just fastened the cable around one of the chimneys. Though it was fastened down close to the roof the weight of the flag in the gale pulled the entire chimney off. It was fortunate that there was no one passing on the street, for there was a perfect shower of bricks fell when the flag came down. D. C. Weik, of Milton, had just stepped out of the main entrance of the hotel, but had not reached the street when the crash caused him to change his mind very suddenly and scoot back for the office. DIED WHILE AWAY FROM HOME.—The death of Mrs. John H. Miller, of Rock Springs, occurred at the home of her brother, Mr. James Watt, in Tyrone, on Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. The cir- cumstances surrounding her death were particularly sad, since she had been in the best of health when she left her four chil- dren who are at home, on Saturday morn- ing, Nov. 5th, and started to Tyrone with Mr. Miller to do some fall shopping. Upon arriving in Tyrone Mr. and Mrs. Miller went at once to the home of her brother. They had been there but a few moments when Mrs. Miller was taken sud- denly ill with what proved later to be paralysis. Her condition was extremely serious from the first and but little hope of her recovery was entertained. On last Thursday she rallied slightly. Enough, however, to encourage a fleeting hope that she might recover, but directly she re- lapsed and sank rapidly until Monday, when she became unconscious and remained so until her death the next morning. Mrs. Miller was the eldest daughter of the late James Watt, who was one of the most influential citizens about Rock Springs. She was born in Mifflin county and was 52 years, 3 months and 9 days old. Nov. 18th, 1868, she was married to John H. Miller and ever since they had lived on a farm adjoining the parental homestead on which they had been married thirty years ago. To their union six children were born. They are Mrs. Carrie Wieland, Linden Hall ; Mrs. Sara Lemon, Gates- burg, and Gertrude, Sumner, Blair and Maude at home. Besides her brother one sister, Miss Margaret, survives. Mrs. Miller was trained in the doctrine of the Presbyterian church from childhood and never suffered her interest in the church to lapse. She was a true christian woman, having given both of her time and means in the service of the Master. She was a mother and wife whose loss will be sorely felt about the fireside that she elevated and brightened so much, The remains were taken home on Tues- day afternoon and funeral services were conducted there yesterday morning by Rev. T. S. Armentrout. Interment was made at the Graysville cemetery. I ll ll DEATH OF MRs. O’BRYAN.—Charlotte, wife of Walter O’Bryan, died at her home at State College, on Thursday, November 10th. She had been ill for along time and almost a month prior to her death she could take neither nourishment nor medicine. Deceased was the daughter of Zazons and Lydia Lytle. Her entire life had been spent on the family homestead, south of the College, until last spring when the eon- dition of her health made it necessary for the family to move into their new home at State College, where she could receive more constant medical attention. She was a good woman, true and kind, and her place can’ never he filled! ‘Her: husband with the following childrén survive ~ Mrs, Decker, of Spring township ; Piersol, on the homestead, and George at home.

I li I DIED AT SNow SHOE.—On Tuesday evening of last week one of Snow Shoe’s most respected citizens, James Redding, died. He had been suffering with gangrene in one of his legs for some time and finally decided to undergo an operation. On Mon- day the affected member was taken off and the patient seemed to rally. On Tuesday he had a back-set and sank rapidly until he died. Deceased was 76 years old and had spent all of his life in the mercantile business ‘in and about Snow Shoe. He leaves the following children : Henry, of Patton ; Lawrence, landlord of the Mountain house, Snow Shoe ; James, proprietor of the Allegheny house, Clear- field ; Maggie and Mary Redding, of Snow Shoe.

THEY KNOW A THING OR Two.—Last week we mentioned what was reported to us as a fact, that the farmers’ hoys of Nittany valley were hunting quail with pug dogs and Winchester rifles. Not at all in a spirit of ridicule. Oh no! hut just to show the sporting fraternity what ingenui- ty a well regulated country boy will dis- play when hard pressed. With his pug dog trained to point quail and with an aim accurate enough to knock their heads off with a rifle ball the feats of the Nittany valley boy are not to be sneezed at. Yet a correspondent down there, who signs himself “H. J. B.,” views the whole thing as a joke and comes back at us as follows : “In your last issue vou refer to the Nittany valley farmers’ sons as going hunting with Winchester rifles and pag dogs. The boys say they know a cow when they see it and do not take it for a rabbit, as some of the club men have done. And they can very easily distinguish a sparrow from a quail and know that quails are not apt to be sitting at any one’s feet, . Then, too, when they return from a hunt- Ing expedition with a ‘wild turkey it is the genuine article, and not a tame one with sand papered legs, as one of Bellefonte’s editors has done.” “HIB” Now what our correspondent says may all be true. We are not prepared to dis- putea word of it, for we know a few of those Nittany club hunters and we have also heard of the tame looking game that the sporting newspaper men up town, Kurtz and Harter, have been bringing home lately. We have a strong suspicion that this “H. J. B.” would come nearer the initials of the author if the two first letters were ar- ranged so that they were in this order : J. H. and then an eck added to the B. et ggg THANKSGIVING DANCE. — The Senior class of the Pennsylvania State College will hold their regular Thanksgiving dance in the armory at the College, on Friday evening, Nov. 25th.
