After the plaintiff had produced all their testimony the de- fendant moved a compulsory non-suit, which was granted. The plaintiff at once obtained a rule on the defendant to show cause why the non-suit should not be taken off, which will be argued later. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ex-rela- tione H. M.

Continued. “A CaraBLE CoMPANY.”’—That is what the Kane opera company advertised and the advertisements were more than ful- filled. The compavy came to Garman’s, on Monday night, to sing Offenbach’s comic opera ‘The Grand Duchess’’ and it is really a pity that there were so few peo- ple there to hear it. The production was effectively costumed and the roles were all admirably sustained. In fact there was not a single feature in which the Kane company did not outrank the Andrews people by a very large margin. Miss Gilman sang the leading role with a dash and grace that carned several en- cores for her, and the cutest, daintiest lit- tle woman who has been seen at Garman’s for a long time was Grace Hazard, who sang the role of “Wanda.” Her specialties were zhout as clever and refined as any one could have desired. Martin Pache sang “Fritz” with an ease that was pleas- ing, while Adolph Mayer in the role o “Prince Paul”? sang himself His voice is peculiarly mellow, but much of its effect is lost through indistinet enun- ciation. The comedy end of the opera was ably sustained by Mountjoy Walker and Charles Meyer whose characters of ‘‘Baron Puck’ and ‘General Baum’ gave them ample opportunity to keep the house going. Master Maurice Poure, the boy violinist who has been with the company several weeks, is a wonderful performer ou the violin. He is a Detroit lad, but has stud- ied in New York long enough to earn a scholarship to Brussels, which he means soon to take advantage of. The company will sing here again next Monday night when it is to be hoped that they will have the packed house their work merits. As ‘‘the Grand Duchess is not as tuneful as some of the other operas in their repertoire they will probably change their bill. oa AN INjgusTICE.—In the report of the council proceedings published in this paper last week the writer inadvertently stepped on the weak links in the chain that holds a faithful bus illy paid individual to a semi-public position. In commenting on the petition of the Logan engine company for the right to abaudon the individual heating plant in their building and in- troduce central steam we said that the cause of the complaint that there is not uniform heat might probably be removed by giving uniform attention to the heating apparatus. Now right there is where a wrong im- | 2 | mous places of Halfmoon valley. pression was conveyed to the public. Be it understood that we meant no reflection | on the Logans, or their faithful major domo, George Fasig. They do not have money to pay a janitor who might look after their heating apparatus, so its care is dependent upon the members who visit the house at different times. Thus, you see, the heat must he afilicted with intermittent fever most of the time. It is only right that the men’s quarters should be made as comtorta- ble as possible all the time.

He was a respected citizen, a mem- ber of the Methodist church and during his active life filled a prominent place in the doings of that town. Ig i DAN’L MEYERS KILLED ON A LUMBER Jon.—The many friends of Daniel Meyers, eldest son of Thomas Meyers, of this place, | will be sorry to learn of his tragic death, which occurred ona lumber job in Elk county on last Friday afternoon. Deceas- ed was well known here, where he went to school and before leaving was connected with Meese’s grocery store. The body ar- rived in Bellefonte, Saturday evening and was taken to the home of Wm. Tressler, at Fillmore, whence burial was made on Sun- day afternoon, in Meyer's cemetery. De- ceased was abont 30 years old and unmar- ried. The particulars of the accident that ve- sulted in his death are about as follows : Wednesday, Meyers, in company with some other men, was engaged in hauling logs by means of a train of flat cars from one point on the lumber job to the saw mill several miles distant. During one of their trips to the mill one of their number was thrown from the cars and killed. The men did not take him to the mill then, hut left him until they had gone to the mill and unloaded the logs. Then Myers and two other men started back as fast as they could with the engine without cars. They were running tank iirst and at a rapid rate | of speed, and suddenly, when rounding a sharp curve, the engine upset, pinning the three men underneath. terribly crushed and scalded. them died almost instantly, lingered in terrible agony until Friday af- ternoon, when he died. i l I Kinnep BY THE CARS.—Geo.

B. Peters, of Oak Hall, was in town on Friday morning and was surprised to see that we had so little snow here. Over his way he said there was fine sleighing. In fact there is sleigh- ing in nearly all parts of the county except Belle- fonte. Such a state of afinirs recalls an explana- tion we once heard as to why snow invariably laid several weeks longer in other places than it does here. An old Half-moou resident once tried to make us believe that “Bellefonte is just that much closer to the bad place” than any other section of the county. We had never been cognizant of living in amodern Sodom or Gomorrah before, nor did we place any confidence in such an explana- tion, but certain it is that snows melts faster in Bellefonte, than it does in other parts of Centre county and it might be because this is such a hot town. —There was a trio of Pine Grove Mills sports in town on Monday, looking anxiously at the sky and wondering whether the snow was going to get too deep for them to get home on wheels, As we haven't heard of their being snow botind on the way wo have taken for granted that J.
