ET A SB BT EN ET Er FE TES SEES SU ML ST Os . lows at Upton’s house, through the news- papers, for the purpose of forming an Odd Fellows’ Lodge. The meeting was held, and Pennsylvania Lodge No. 1, was formed. But four men residing in the State was present, viz: John Pearce, who was selected as noble grand ; James Day, as vice grand ; John Upton, as treasurer; and Samuel Croucher, as Guardian. Mr. Rob- inson was selected as secretary until the first member, Thomas Hepworth, was ad- mitted and substituted as secretary, and these five resident members canstituted the first lodge formed in this State. The lodge continued to meet at Upton’s, and carried on its business in the original convivial style of the English Lodges, un- _.der the jurisdiction of the Manchester wi Unity. ; They continued to meet and obtain members without having authority from a legal Lodge until June 1823, when having increased greatly in membership, and feel- ing the importance of some legal authority for their acts, without which their ad- vancement would be hampered, if not al- together confined within narrow limits of their own members, on June 6th, 1828, ad- dressed a letter to the Grand Lodge of Maryland and the United States, asking a charter from that body, and on June 15th, 1823, the charter was granted, and twelve days afterward, on June 27th, 1823, the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania was consti- tuted and opened, with Aaron Nichols as grand master and Benjamin Daffin as grand secretary. The Baltimore brethren early endeav- ored to bring the Odd Fellows of the var- ious lodges above mentioned as existing in New York State in connection with them. In this they met with opposition such as had not existed in the case of Massachu- setts and Pennsylvania, for the reason that the lodges in New York claimed to be of as high authority as the Grand Lodge of Maryland. Columbia Lodge, above re- ferred to, especially claimed that its au- thority was equal and even superior to that of the organization which sprang from Washington Lodge, because of the charac- ter which it had received. Thomas Wildey had been elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Maryland and the United States, and he took upon himself the task of endeavoring to induce the New York brethren to come into the fold. In order to make this possible he had conceived a plan, which was to consti- tute each State in the Union a separate Grand Lodge jurisdiction, with power to institute lodges within the geographical limits of each State respectively. By this plan each Grand Lodge was to have exclu- sive authority of the government and con- trol of its own subordinates, and there was to be a representative General Grand Lodge to govern the whole. He offered the charter which Washing- ton Lodge of Maryland bad procured from the Duke of York Lodge of Preston, Eng- land, and which had at that time been sanctioned by the ‘‘Manchester Unity,’’ as the nucleus around which the whole of the Order in the United States then in exist- ence could concentrate. This plan he submitted to the New York brethren, but they refused to consider the matter until it was decided whether the charter which Columbia Lodge had re- ceived was a valid instrument or not. When Grand Master Wildey had perused this document he found it to be more elab- orate than the one received by Washington Lodge from the Duke of York Lodge, and that it had received the full sanction of the District Grand Lodge, which quality was lacking in the Duke of York Lodge dispen- sation. He at once perceived the danger of repudiating such a warrant, and recog- nized the validity of the Columbia Lodge dispensation. This having been settled, Columbia Lodge was induced to surrender its claim of superiority and to make application to the Grand Lodge of Maryland and the United States for a charter for a Grand Lodge in the State of New York, which pe- tition was favorably entertained, and the charter was granted to the Grand Lodge of the State of New York, which was insti- tuted June 24th, 1823. Thus, the Grand Lodge of Maryland and the United States had under its jurisdic- tion the Grand Lodges of New York, Mass- achusetts and Pennsylvania. The very ad- mission of these Grand Lodges made it nec- essary that some such plan as had been suggested by Grand Master Wildey should be carried into effect. ; The scheme was accordingly submitted ® to the several Grand Lodges, with the re- » “ y ult that at the annual session held on the nd of February, 1824, such a plan was adopted and a Grand Committee was ap- pointed to make arrangements for the or- ganization of a Grand Lodge of the United States. In order to avoid all questions of anthor- ity, the Grand Lodge of Maryland and the United States was invited to convey the charter which it had obtained from Eng- land to the Grand Lodge of the United States, for the exclusive use of that body. On the 15th of January, 1825, the first constitution of the Grand Lodge of the United States was adopted, and such Grand Lodge became duly organized and became the supreme authority of the I. O. 0. F. At that time it had under its juris- diction in Maryland three lodges, in Mass- achusetts two lodges, in New York one lodge, and in Pennsylvania three lodges. Looking back to that time from the con- dition of the order of to-day, it seems al- most absurd that there should have been such great pretensions about so small a membership, but the wisdom of the policy there originated has been establisded by the growth of the Order. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was now fully established in this country upon a plan which made it possible that the Order should continue to extend throughout the territory of the United States without let or hindrance. From time to time lodges were instituted in other States and Grand Lodges estab- lished to take charge of them. Thus, the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia was instituted on the 24th of November, 1828. The Grand Lodge of Delaware was instituted on 27th of June, 1831. The Grand Lodge of Ohio was insti- tuted in the month of January, 1832; the Grand Lodge of Louisiana on the 5th of March, 1832; the Grand Lodge of New Jersey on the 3rd of August, 1833; the Grand Lodge of Kentucky on the 14th of September, 1836; and so on from time to time, until in each and all of the States of the Union and most of the territories there existed a Grand Lodge which had been in- stituted under the authority of the Grand Lodge of the United States, the title of which has since been charged to ‘The Sov- ereign Grand Lodge.”’ In 1845 the Order had triumphantly through the crucial period of its ex- istence and had become a permanent insti- tution in this land. It had been disrobed of its swaddling clothes and assumed the habiliments of youth and was entering into the age of sturdy manhood. In its youth it had bravely withstood the assaults of fanaticism, under the guise of anti-Ma- sonry, and was foremost among the secret fraternities that repelled that crusade and tolled the bell and sang the requiem over its destruction, and was crowned with that garland of victory which presaged its phe- nomenal growth and prosperity. The progress of the Order is unprece- dented in the records of fraternal organiza- tions. When the first lodge was instituted April 26th, 1819, there were only five Odd Fellows, which number had increased in 1840 to 11,166 from which time the mem- bership grew steadily until the year 1855, when it numbered 200,600 members. The membership then gradually decreased, mainly because of the financial depression of that time and the coming on of the great Civil War, until in the year 1863, when it had reached the point of 133,269 members on incomplete returns. From that time until the present the membership has steadily increased, until on the 1st of January, 1895, in the United States and British America alone it reached the enormous number of 788,968. It will be noted that in a period of thirty years, to wit, from the first of January, 1865, to the 1st of January, 1895, the net increase in the Order in those two countries has been 651,345, showing the enormous aver- age advance of over 21,700 members per year during that time. And this refers only to the male members. Plenty of Cases for the Quarter Sessions Court. A large Attendance at Court—Expensive Petty Litigation for Centre County— Women in Abund- ance and Some of them Should Have Been Asham- ed of Themselves—Several Important Trials. The regular April term of quarter sessions court was notable for the number of wo- men in attendance and, it must be said, that some of them were grievously discred- itable to the honor and decency of their sex. The court convened with judge Love on the bench. The morning session, Mon- day, was given over entirely to the hearing of petitions and the reports of constables. It was after the latter had all been present- ed that the judge took occasion to make some very opportune remarks on the duties of constables in the matter of forest fires. He stated that it was the duty of every constable to organize a posse and ex- ercise every available means to stop forest fires whether they might be started in the distriet.in which he has been elected to of- fice or not, and that especially in the mat- ter of ferreting out the parties who set out such fires should they be vigilant. The court left the constables to understand that it will punish those guilty of setting fires to forests with the severest of penal- ties and urged on such officers the necessi- ty of discovering every offender. ‘‘The devastation of our forests,” said judge Love, ‘‘is becoming far too serious for us to pass over lightly and we will certainly make examples of any persons found guilty of setting fire to them.” When the trial of cases was taken up several that should never have found their way into court were presented first. One of them, in particular, was a sorry specta- cle of womanly decency and the perfect composure with which two girls sat on the witness stand and testified to the vulgar utterance whieh-ondiofghem had made was such a sight as it might be hoped will nev- er again be seen in a Centre county court. The case that excited most interest was that of the commonwealth vs Sherman and McKinney brought by J. M. Bunnell, a music dealer of Philipsburg. The promi- nence of the men and the nature of their offense were such as to arouse more than usu.l interest and their predicament should be ;a serious lesson to young men who are prone to consider too lightly the responsi- bility that is reposed in’'them by their em- ployers. It was simply a case in which trifl- ing short-comings grew to considerable peculations and the old story of crime find- ing its perpetrator out. The cases were taken up and disposed of as follows : Commonwealth vs John Miller and Jos- eph Miller. Charge, larceny; prosecutor, Joseph Packer. Nolle pros. Commonwealth vs Frank Wallace. Charge betrayal by Martha Parsons. Noile pros. Commonwealth vs Arthur Yandes. Charge, betrayal by Edith M. Gardner. Continued. 4 Commonwealth vs Miller Gomer. Charge larceny by T. B. Buddinger, of Snow Shoe. Defendant plead guilty to larceny leaving the second charge of receiving goods un- prosecuted. Gomer stole goods from Bud- dinger’s store. Commonwealth vs Chas. Houser. Charge, assault and battery by Isaac Thomas. Nolle pros. Commonwealth vs Willis 2 Witherite. Charge, betrayal by May Estight. Continu- ed to August session. Commonwealth vs Harry Lutz. Charge, rape by Dortha May Courter. Litigants were from Marion township and prosecu- trix swore that Lutz had, during the ab- sence of the family visiting, broke the door of the house open and assaulted her. The defendant showed that he was not at the Courter home that day, but was at his own home during the morning and at Howard in the afternoon. Verdict, not guilty. Commonwealth vs Jacob S. Auman. Charge, larceny by Chas. C. Auman. Bill ignored and costs placed on prosecutor. Commonwealth vs Bertha Jamison. Charge, larceny by Chas. C. Auman. Bill ignored and costs placed on prosecutor. Commonwealth vs Benjamin Shaffer. Charge, desertion and non support by Liz- zie Shaffer. Settled. i monwealth vs Mrs. Annie Stevenson. arge, assault and battery by Alberta Huey. Prosecutor testified that she and her sister had been accosted on the streets of Millheim by the defendant who charged the sister with writing threatening letters to her. The defendant said that unless it was stopped someone would be arrested, whereupon Alberta said to Mrs. Jamison, ‘‘arrest my 7? It wasa very vulgar expression for so tidy a looking girl to use, but she grinned and repeated it several times on the stand without any evident embarrassment. Mrs. Jamison then push- ed her against a fence and ought to have slapped her mouth, but she said she didn’t. The jury found her guilty. Commonwealth vs J. Al Sholl. Charge, fornication and basterdy by Mary E. Funk. Litigants were from Millheim and prosecu- trix, a very prepossessing girl of 18, testi- fied that she had had illicit relation with defendant, as well as with others, not naming them however. The defendant swore that he was not the father of her child and that his attentions toward her during a year or more were entirely honor- able. He discontinued his attentions, however, when she swore that he had had unlawful relations with her. Verdict of not guilty and defendant pay all the costs. Commonwealth vs G. C. Peifer. Charge, false pretense by W. H. Korman, of Re- bersburg. Defendant was formerly an im- plement dealer in Lock Haven, but since being sold out by the sheriff has lived with his brother in Wilkinsburg. The charge was that defendant had bought up a num- ber of his brother Harvey’s notes, by giv- ing his own for them on representations that he was more responsible than Harvey, when, as a matter of fact, G. C. was not nearly as well off as Harvey, the former’s notes proving absolutely worthless. Commonwealth vs John Gilliland Charge, betrayal by Fannie Fogleman. Defendant plead guilty and went to jail in lien of giving the usual maintenance bond. Commonwealth vs John H. Taylor. Charge, assault, indecent assault and as- sault with intent to commit rape, by Mrs. Annie G. Summers. Litigants were from Potter township. Mrs. Summers lives on the Treaster valley road in the mountains beyond Potters Mills and according to her statement Taylor, who is a huxster, came to her home during the absence of others of her family and committed the assault. The principal defense set, up was that Mrs. Summers gave conflicting stories to the jus- tice as to the date on which the assault was made. Verdict not guilty and defend- ant 4 of the cost and prosecutor 3. After panelling a jury for the next case the court adjourned until Thursday morn- ing. When court reconvened on Thursday morning the cases of the Commonwealth vs A. J. Sherman and John D. McKinney, of Philipsburg, were taken up. The men were charged with embezzlement by J. M. Bunnell, a Philipsburg music dealer, in whose employ they had been. Sherman plead guilty to larceny, leaving the count of forgery untried. When the case against McKinney was called the witnesses for the Commonwealth were examined then he changed his pleas to ‘‘guilty’’ on the count of larceny and ‘‘not guilty’’ on the count of receiving stolen goods. They will like- ly be sentenced to-day. Numerously sign- ed petitions were presented to the court praying for clemency. Commonwealth vs John and Reuben Frantz. Charge, felonious arson, firing buildings and burning barns, by Christian Sharer. The grand jury returned a true bill. Case continued. Commonwealth vs G. C. Peifer. Charge false pretense by A. W. Oliver, on imple- ment manufacturer, was taken up after din- ner yesterday. ——The engagement of Miss Edna B. McClelland, of Beech Creek, to Lieut. Wal- ter B. McCaskey, U.S. A. has been an- nounced.

Phoenix Milling Co. hot ———Robert Valentines have leased their house on Allegheny and Curtin streets to Mrs. Merriman, of Yonkers, N. Y., for three years. In forsaking their home here for Baltimore, Mr. and Mrs. Valentine are not leaving Bellefonte for good, but simply for a change and to be with their daughter, Mrs. Bond, where Miss Emily has spent most of her time for several years. Mrs. Merriman is an aunt of Mrs. H. C. Quigley and the widow of a prominent navy officer and, with her family, will take possession of the house at once. Centre Hall. Catharine Elizabeth Miller for many years known by old and young as grandmother Miller, died at the home of her son Jerre Miller, on Church street, on Friday morning, 21st inst. The funeral took place on Mon- day, Rev. Rearick, of the Lutheran church, of which the deceased was a member of- ficiating, theinterment being in the cemetery at this place. Grandmother Miller's maid- en name was Emerick and she was distant- ly related to the Emericks in this valley. She was born in Dauphin county, Pa., Aug. 4th, 1811. In 1831 she married John Miller, which event took place in Millerstown. Her husband preceded her to the grave twenty- three years ago. Prior to 1842 the couple moved to Roopsburg, thence to Brush valley. Hecla, Spring Mills and finally, twenty-four years ago, to this place. Deceased was the mother of seven children, thirty-two grand-children, and about as many great grand-children. Those of her children who survive her are Jonth. Miller, Bellefonte; Mrs. A. B. Earhard, Gerard, Kan.; John H. Miller, Erie Soldier's Home; Jerre Miller, Centre Hall; and Mrs. P. J. Leitzell, Gerard, Kan.; Mrs. Jacob Ripkah, of this place, and Augustus Miller, of Mill Hall, are dead. The deceased was highly respected by all who knew her. She was a conscientious woman, a thorough christian and devoted much of her time in reading the pages of an oddly shaped German Bible. Pine Grove Mention. Rain is sadly needed as many cisterns are empty and the crops are drying up. Miss Susan Greenawalt, a sister of Mrs. Jacob Keller, is down from the Mountain City on a week’s visit. Last week Miss Anna Musser’s opening of spring millinery attracted a goodly crowd. Solomon, in all his glory, was never more gorgeous than some of her hats and her prices too are most reasonable, While J. Clayton Corl was preparing to sow oats, on last Wednesday, his team took fright and was soon out of sight. Several parties tried/to stop them without avail and they did not slow up until they had run a mile—scattering the wagon and contents all along the road, but fortunately not hurting anyone. Jerry and William Garner recently bagged seven foxes and now pose as the champion hunters of this section. They had spied the mother fox lugging them to new quarters the day previous and as they were digging for the prize she made a cunning dash for liberty and escaped. They will likely ship them to McClure’s menagerie in Bellefonte. Mr. and Mrs. Evey, of Altoona, were guests at Mrs. Julia Musser’s pleasant home, on Main street, this week. Mrs. Clem S. Fortney and her little daugh- ter Tillie, drove up from Tusseyville and enjoyed Sunday with O. B. Krebs and family. Barber Frank Smith reports number three —a fine big boy. The last one he named Wm. J. Bryan so this one should be Schley. On last Friday while stacking logs at the saw mill at the Junction Isaac Harpster was struck on the side by a log and seriously hurt. Mrs. R. M. Illingworth with Henry and Ruth are in from Fairview, Erie county, to spend several months at grandfather Sny- der’s. Soap making and house cleaning are now in order and the next thing needed is cleaner streets. Won’t you turn in and help beautify the town. Mrs. E. C. Fye and her two daughters were the guests at the parsonage Tuesday of aunt Mary Gitt, who will return to her home in Hanover next week. Constable Decker and a large force of men, after fighting forest fires on Tussey moun- tains for several days, succeed in getting the flames under control last Friday. Mrs. Anna Sausserman, of Altoona, is here for a few days on her way home from Odd Fellows day, where she viewed her big hus- band at the head of the column of the Al- toona Patriarchs Militant. J. Calvin Markel and his wife, of Grazier- ville, visited his aged parents just west of town this week. Uncle Jake and aunt Eliza as they are known by the young people are almost four score years. Mrs. Olie Bowersox and her aunt Mary Jane Stewart, are making their annual spring visit at the old McWilliams home, near Fair- brook. Mrs. Bowersox is much better than she was but her health is yet a source of anxiety to her family. For the first time since their marriage, last summer, S. Cooper Miller and his accom- plished wife visited the Miller home the fore part of the week. Cooper is now teaching in the Lock Haven Normal and his family are very much pleased with their son’s choice. While driving home from Lemont last Tuesday, Dan’l A. Grove had a frightful shaking up. The harness broke and the frightened horse started to run and kick. Soon the buggy was a total wreck and Mr. Grove was thankful that he escaped alive. The horse has since died of its injuries and pharyngitis. On Thursday the 20th Miss Sarah Allanda Markel and James Milton Keller were united in marriage by the Rev. Bergstresser at Grazierville. The wedding, which was to have taken place on March 16th and had been postponed on account of the groom’s ill- ness, was celebrated at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Markel. A reception was given them on Saturday even- ing, the 22nd, at the groom’s parents and the young couple will eventually go to house- keeping in Pittsburg, where the groom will engage in carpentering. He is the oldest son of squire Keller and a well to do young man, who has our best wishes for his success and happiness. ‘Pp Lg Spring Mills. Some wheat fields in this valley, present a decidedly unhealthy appearance—very like a total failure. William Pealer has added greatly to the appearance of his handsome residence by the addition of a story to the back building. A party of twenty ladies and gentlemen of our village, have made arrangements for a moonlight bicycle trip on Thursday or Fri- day evening next. Destination Millheim. Candidates are running to and fro very frequently of late, in fact many come like shadows and so depart. W. T. Speer, of Bellefonte, and H. A. Moore, of Howard, both Democratic candidates for the nomina- tion for treasurer, were here on Wednesday last, seeking old friends and making new ones. The coal excitement in our village still continues. A day or two since a barrel of water was pumped out of the well, and dur- ing the night a greasy substance had collected on the surface which coming in contact with a stick or piece of paper, gave it the appear- ance of having been painted with gold paint —a very beautiful shade of bronze. People here are wondering if we have also discover- ed a gold mine. A geologist would pronounce the sulphurous character of the water an indication of coal, although it might be lo- cated very deep—say within a few miles of China. Hiram Durst has thoroughly remodeled the residence he recently purchased in our village, and formerly owned by John Swarm. The whole interior of the dwelling has been changed and a number of conveniences in- troduced. The exterior is decidedly improv- ed with new modern windows and a very commodious I shaped portico west and south of the building, also a similar porch back of the dwelling. Mr. Durst also intends plac- ing in front a handsome railing. The build- ing will be handed overto the painters in a few days, and when finished Mr. Durst will have a home for beauty and comfort second to none in the village. The extensive building recently erected by J. C. Condo the carriage builder of Penn Hall is a very imposing structure. His pri- vate residence adjacent, is also being re- modeled and an handsome portico is be- ing erected and the building will soon be in the hands of the painters. These are decided improvements to the entire neigh- borhood. The new business: building has a depth of over one hundred feet and a width of thirty-three feet. The ground floor is divided into four departments by large slid- ing doors for wareroom, finishing room, paint room and stock room, in the basement is the general truck department, all the rooms are fitted up with every modern convenience. The finishing room is almost as air tight as the finishing department in a piano factory to keep all varnished work while drying perfectly free from the slightest dust. In connection with this extensive establishment, Mr. Condo has a large blacksmith depart- ment where the workmen are constantly employed shoeing horses, sharping irons, tires etc., for vehicles. His working force consists of from four to six men. Of course Mr. Condo is doing a large business. Announcements. We are authorized to announce Boyd A.
