Phenix Milling Co. ee THREE CHILDREN PERISH IN THEIR BURNING HoME.—The most frightful holo- caust that has been reported in this section in many years occurred in the lumber woods on Medix Run, Clearfield county, last Thursday night. Frank Carson, who lived in the camp with his wife and five children, was away from home that night and his wife and children were alone. At a late hour Mrs. Carson was awakened from her sleep, al- most suffocated by smoke, and was terri- fied to find the room ablaze. Her situa- tion was frightfully perilous, but she snatched her babe from its cradle and sprang from an upstairs window, followed closely by James, her 10 year old son. Her three other children were still in the burning house and the woman made frantic efforts to rescue them, but all to no purpose. They were burned to death. One was eight, another five, and the other three. Mr. Carson is a brother of Mrs. M. R. Kreamer, of west High street, this place. Two REMINDERS OF, AN UNLUCKY DAY. —Feb. 13th was not without its bad luck to some Centre countains. Henry Rothrock and John Woods, of Nittany valley, bad an unpleasant experi- ence the night of the 13th while attempt- ing to cross the mountain in a sleigh to their home at Zion. They had been down the valley on a long drive, and as they en- tered the mountain their horse stumbled and fell exhausted. The men tried to get the horse on its feet again, but they were not successful. George Flory heard them and went to their assistance, cutting the traces and taking the horse and men to his home where he kept them over night. When George came on the scene the horse had been almost drifted over. The Philipsburg Ledger tells of the force of the winds along the Alleghenies in the following : ‘One of the most astonishing freaks of the high wind of Feb. 13th comes to us from Mr. Aaron Woodring, who lives at ‘the foot of the mountain below Flat Rock. When the family rose Tuesday morning they found that during the night Boreas had playfully torn off a portion of the barn roof 20 feet wide and 40 feet in length, rafters and all. The hay fork, which was suspended from the rafters, had been torn loose from the heavy rope and chain by which it was secured and thrown fifty feet into an adjoining field. The elements did their worst work over in that part of the county, the snow in many places on the mountain being as high as a horse.”’ il eyes PLAYS SELECTED FOR THEIR LITERARY VALUE.—In commenting on the presenta- tion of “The School for Scandal’’ at Gar- man’s, last week, by amateurs from The Pennsylvania State College, we suggested that the boys might find more of interest in some lighter class of plays. The sug- gestion was based on the idea that their histrionic work was being done merely for amusement, but Prof. F. L. Pattee, one of the directors, puts an entirely different phase on it in the letter appended. EDITOR OF THE WATCHMAN, Dear Sir:—In your report last week of the performance of “The School for Scandal’ of the Thespians you made the suggestion that the club should hereafter avoid the long old English playsand devote itself to something shorter and more modern. Will you permit us just a word in explanation? It is custo- mary in most of our colleges for the students to present, under the direction of the faculty, at least one standard play each year. Trage- dies in the original Greek, Latin comedies, Elizabethan dramas with the original stage settings, and French and German plays have all been presented by college students. Such work has been encouraged in every possible way since its educational value to the per- former is obvious. It is regarded almost wholly from the standpoint of the actor. It is a part of his education and one not to be despised. Close contact for several months with a masterpiece like ‘‘The School for Scandal” which Zangwill, pronounces one of the three greatest plays since Shakespeare, cannot fail to be of great benefit to a student. It would certainly not be worth the while to devote a long course of study to the presenta- tion of a light and ephemeral piece of litera- ture. Thanking you for your kind and discrim- inating notice of our presentation of the play Iam, RED LEWIS PATTEE, State College, Feb. 22nd, '99.

Ses ——Eat native wheat and ask your gro- cer for Phenix Milling Co’s ‘‘Finest” flour. —— ete ——The annual statement of the Mutual life insurance company of New York, which appeais elsewhere in this issue, shows an amazing growth for that corpora- tion during the year of 1898. The assets were increased $23,730,887 and the total sum now held by this institution for the security of its policy holders is $277,517,- 325. The Mutual life, after placing $233,- 058,640 to the eredit of the reserve fund in accordance with the requirements of the New York insurance department, has a re- maining surplus of $44,458,684. The sur- plus shows a growth for the year amount- ing to $8,950,490, from which dividends are apportioned. In 1898, the claims paid arising from the death of policy-holders amounted to $13,265,908, and in addition to this the company paid during the twelve months $11,485,751 on account of endow- ments, dividends, etc. The general busi- ness of the Mutual life in 1898, when com- pared with the results during the previous year, is highly satisfactory. The insurance in force December 31st, 1897, amounted to $935,602,381. On December 31st, 1898, the business in force aggregated in amount $970,496,965, which is unequaled by any other company in the world. Since its or- ganization in 1843, the company has paid to its policy-holders $487,748,910. The success of this wonderful corporation is mainly due to the character of the men in- terested in extending its usefulness. Wil- liam Grauer, of Bellefonte, is one of them. F. K. LUKENBACH’S SUCCESS. — The friends at his home here will be greatly pleased to learn of the promotion of Frank K. Lukenbach to. the cashiership of the First national bank of Philipsburg, to suc-' ceed the late O.P. Jones. The election was made on Monday and is, one that cer- tainly reflects high lionor; upon so young a man. Frank is a son of A. Lukenbach, of Willow-bank street, and got his banking schooling with the firm of W. F. Reynolds & Co. in this place. He had heen offered similar positions in banks at Patton and Winber. In speaking of the selection the Philips- burg Journal says: At a meeting yesterday of the directors of the First national bank, Frank K. Luken- bach was elected cashier and director of the bank. Mr. Lukenbach has been teller of the institution since its incorporation, and his election will give the utmost satisfaction to the patrons of the bank and business men generally, as well as to banking officials of other places. The First national directors have shown their wisdom in his appoint- ment. He is amply qualified to fill the im- portant and exacting position, and is sucha pleasant fellow that he is sure to win new friends and patrons for the bank. We con- gratulate the First national and the new cashier, for both deserve and will undoubted- ly meet with success under so favorable and mutually satisfactory arrangement. John E. Fryberger succeeds to Mr. Luken- bach’s place as teller, which is also most pleasing to the patrons of this well known banking institution, with which he has also been connected since its incorporation. Be- sides his fitness for the position, you will find none more agreeable. S————e THE LONG JOURNEY OF SIX YEAR OLD RUTH GREEN.—Wednesday morning Miss Ruth Green, tourist, arrived in Bellefonte and was escorted from the 9:32 train by conductor Allison Haupt. She was placed in charge of agent H. L. Hutchinson, whom she fairly took by storm and it be- gan to look as if she intended adopting him as her ‘‘papa’’ right off, so peremptory were her orders to remove her cloak, hood and mittens. The little traveler had just arrived from Philipsburg, Montana, having made the journey all by her self and seemed as hap- py and bright as if she had been a veteran rail-roader. While sitting in the station office she chattered away about leaving Butte City, Monday morning, being tucked away to bed by Pullman conductors each night, and dining on the cars all the time. She is only 6 years old, but was not at all disconcerted by that. Last fall she was sent to Philipsburg, Montana, by the Centre county branch of the children’s aid society for adoption by a Mrs. Childs. The latter was recently in- valided and it was no longer possible for her to retain the child, so she was sent back to the kind care of the ladies at the head of the organization in this place. She traveled first class and carried a letter to each division conductor, en route, which practically made her his child while traveling with him. Enough money was advanced with her ticket to carry ber from one transfer to another and when she ar- rived here she had a little of her last al- lowance left. The wee size and tender age of the tourist makes her safe'and happy delivery here a matter of felicitation for the rail-road sys- tems over which she made the long jour- ney. THE SURVIVORS OF THE COLLINS BRA- ZILTAN RAILROAD EXPEDITION.—The sur- vivors of the ill-fated Madeira and Mamori railroad expedition held their third annual reunion in Philadelphia Saturday evening, and among those present was C. S. d’Invil- liers, of Altoona, who was chief engineer of the expedition, and W. K. Martin, also of Altoona, who was assistant engineer. The expedition in question started down to Brazil in the ‘“Mercidita’’ in January, 1878, to construct a railroad in one of the most pestilential spots of South America. The second ship of the expedition, the ““Metropo- lis,”” was wrecked off the South Carolina coast, with a frightful loss of life. The contract to build the railroad had been se- cured by the late ‘“Tom’’ Collins and his brother Peter the most famous contrac- tors of their day. CouNcIiL’s REGULAR MEET. — There were seven members of council present at the meeting Monday night and they dis- tinguished themselves by passing a leaky cow ordinance and tying up the borough in a light contract that is possible toinvolve $18,000 and more during the five years it can run. The Water committee reported a num- ber of frozen pipes fixed, the engines at the works running day and night and every- thing in good order. The Street commit- tee reported removal of snow from pave- ments and gutters and to it was referred a complaint about a fence that is reported as an obstruction to the pavement in front of the Pruner property on Pine street. Under the head of unfinished business the cow ordinance was taken up, but the objectionable clause mentioned in last week’s WATCHMAN was not expunged. It was passed with slight modification and owners of vacant lots in the town can now begin to connive with cow owners who want to let their bovines run at large. An appropriation of $106 was made to the board of health for the current year. The contract for forty-five arc lighfs at $80 each per year, giving the Edison com- pany the right to annul the contract at the end of one or to continue it for five years, was passed. With this done council ap- proved the following bills and adjourned until Monday, morning, March 6th, when the present body will be dissolved. Street pay roll... $31 81 Water pay roll.. 85 75 W. N.

Houseman, of Altoona, spent several days in our town recently in the interest of his mother’s estate. Mrs. Charlotte Kepler royally entertained a party of young people at the Kepler man- sion, last Saturday evening. Frank Bowersox and his good wife have gone to Altoona to enjoy a short vacation and see their new grandson, Franklin. James and William Musser packed their trunks the day after the election and left for Freeport, Ill., where they will engage in tilling the soil. Dr. Kunes, of Scotia, is the possessor of as fine a team of high steppers as the country affords. He looks closely after his patients and occasionally comes over into this valley. Hon. J. T. McCormick is carrying one hand ina sling from the effects of a fall on the ice, last week, but it did not interfere with him getting out the vote in the solid north. J. B. Ard and wife are both laid up with grip. Mrs. Ard has been suffering for some weeks with neuralgia of the face and found no relief ’til several of her teeth had been extracted. On Tuesday George Jordon, who for years farmed the Holmes farm in this township, moved to the Burchfield property near Shin- gletown, where he will continue to grow blooded stock and big crops. Jacob Harpster, of Clearfield, is spending a week among his Centre county friends with headquarters at Samuel Harpster’s at Gates- burg. He is having a good time with lots of attention and sight seeing. Mrs. John Bowersox took advantage of the good sleighing and drove over from Milroy to enjoy a few days at the old McCormick home. She says they have a beautiful place in the Kishacoquillas valley but after all there is no place like home. A jolly sledding party from State College, Lemont, and Boalsburg halted at the cosy home of J. R. Smith, on Main street, last Sat- urday evening, and were royally received. The latch string at the Smith’s is always out and there you will have a hearty greeting and lots of fun and feed. Jacob Woodring, of Port Matilda, accom- panied by his estimable wife, whose maiden name was Harpster and who has many rela- tives in this valley, visited here this week. They are both lively, jolly people despite their silvered locks. Mr. Woodring has his political eye on the commissioner’s office and would like to stand in Tom Fisher's boots. Two of our oldest men have been stricken with paralysis. On’ last Friday as George Kustaborder was walking from his barn to the house he felt a sudden dizziness and made a desperate effort to reach the house. Just on the threshold he fell and his wife with the assistance of her sister, Mrs. Tipton, of Howard, who happened to be there, managed to get him to bed. His limbs and one arm are completely paralyzed but at this writing he was some better. Samuel Bressler, while attending the Clemson sale on Saturday, fell over and for a time it was feared the stroke would prove fatal. Now there is some hope of his recovery. DEATH OF MRS. SAUSSERMAN.—On Sat- urday the 18th, Mrs. Lucy Sausserman, widow of the late William Sausserman, died at the home of her son-in-law, H. M. Krebs, on Main street, after a long illness of paralysis. Without a murmur or complaint she endured her sufferings patiently and was fully ready for the change the transition wrought as from girlhood she had been a devout Chris- tian. Her pleasant face and helping hand will be sadly missed in the connection and in the community her death is indeed a loss. Lucy Anna Keller was born near Tussey- ville, Feb. 2nd, 1826. On Dec. 14th, 1843, she was united in marriage to Wm. Sausser- man and soon after they located in Stone valley, near Stoffeys. For more than twenty years they resided here, where she and her family are well known. She was the mother of thirteen children, eight of whom survive her, Mrs. James McCormick, Mrs. Wm. B, Bailey, Mrs. W. B. Ward, Mrs. H. M. Krebs, David, of Kansas; John, of Nebraska; Wm, A., and B. F., of Altoona. Hersisters and brothers living are Mrs. Samuel Stoffey, Mrs. Rebecca Fleming, David and John Keller, of near McAlevy’s Fort and squire Keller of this place. She was buried Tuesday morn- ing in the new cemetery with her pastor, Rev. C. T. Aikens, officiating. Centre Hall. Mrs. W. B. Mingle has gone to Philadel- phia to visit her daughter, Mrs. Anna Hoy. F. M. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford spent Sunday with Mrs. Crawford’s parents in Lamar. Gross W. Mingle sports a new western driv- ing horse purchased at the Millheim horse sale Wednesday. Mrs. Fisher, wife of Rev. Dr. W. E. Fisher, of Shamokin, spent a few days with the Wolf family last week, on her way home from Berlin, where she had been spending a few weeks with her aged father, Mr. Philson. A little child of Mr. and Mrs. George Mowery died after a briefillness. The inter- ment took place at Pleasant Gap Wednesday. The community sympathizes with the parents and family in the loss of the dear little one. George Washington Boal Boozer put in his appearance, Wednesday morning, at the Boozer residence. So much pleased is the whole family with the new arrival that arrangements have been made for his per- manent abode. The horse sale held at Runkle’s hotel, Sat- urday, was fairly well attended. About half a car of horses were sold on that day, and several teams have been sold privately since. The stock was first class and prices ranged from eighty to one hundred and twenty- seven dollars. Mrs. W. H. Bartholomew is in a very critic- al condition at present. Mention was made in these columns of her peculiar malady some time ago. Her jaws are firmly closed, and since Sunday she has been able to take no nourishment at all, in the natural way, and injection was resorted to. Dr. Scott Huff, of Milesburg, stopped over Wednesday night with his brother-in-law, F. M. Crawford, in this place. The doctor + had been to the Millheim horse sale and pur- chased a splendid team of sorrels for driving purposes. practice, and has been very successful in his profession. A pretty wedding took place at the coun- try home of Samuel Floray, near Tussey- ville, Thursday noon. The principals to the contract were Miss Ida Floray and Rev. Dubbs. A large number of guests were pres- ent to witness the ceremony, which was per- formed by a minister from a distance whose name was not secured. Several of the home ministers were also present. Tuesday’s election was a stirring one in the borough and Potter township. In the town nearly the whole vote was out, and all the Democrats on the ticket got notices of their election, except one school director who was shy just two votes. The independent candi- date for constable on the Democratic ticket in the township fell short of election, which left the regular Democratic ticket make a clear sweep. Announcements.
