County Expenses Increased Twenty-Six Thousand Dollars a Year. As yet the Republican hoard of county commissioners have failed to.show how they have met an annual expenditure of over $63,000, with an annual tax levy which, without deducting commissions for collect- ing and exonerations, amounts to but $43,- 024.18. They have also failed to explain how they expect to, meet this yearly expendit- ure of over $63,000 with a tax levy reduc- ed to $36,877.87, as it has been by the half mill reduction, made for political effect and to deceive the tax payers now that they de- sire re-election. The truth is no explanation that they, or any one for them, can make will con- vince the people who pay the taxes that over sixty thousand dollars of expenses can be met and paid out of a net income amounting to less than forty thousand dol- lars. So that the plain fact stares them in the face that their certified statement of the county finances ie false or that there is a county indebtedness being created of which they say nothing. Failing to beable to explain the kind of book keeping they have been exhibiting to the public, they attempt to justify their management of county affairs by an effort to prove that it has been almost as economic- al as that which immediately preceded it, forgetting the one important fact that they were elected in1896 because thé tax payers were dissatisfied with the manner in { ' which county affairs were then managed, and that if they have not improved on that management, they have failed in their promises, as well as in the expectations of those who bear the burden of taxation. In the figures given out by them, in jus- tification of their method of doing business and of their management of the commis- sioners office, they admit that they have ex- pended more money each year they have been in office, than the average yearly amount expended during the six years preceding their control, and thousands up- on thousands of dollars more than it cost to run the county prior to 1891. Daring the three years—1888--"89’—-90— when the finances of the county were man- aged by commissioners HENDERSON and DECKER, and whose administration of af- fairs was considered and denounced as the most reckless and unbusiness like manage- ment ever known in that office, the total expenditure for all purposes for the three years was $140,557.03 or a yearly average of but $46,850. In those three years $34,- 681.17 was expended in building bridges and $1,732 for permanent repairs to the public buildings and grounds, thus making the average cost of the ordinary county ex- penses, outside of bridges and repairs to buildings, both of which are considered permanent improvements, but $31,046, each year. Messrs. RIDDLE and FISHER have been in office almost three years. For two of these only have the figures been given showing what their management is costing. From their certified statements it will be seen that in 1897 they paid out for all purposes $61,251.13 and for 1898, $63,239.11, mak- ing an average yearly of $62,245.12. Of this amount $5,140.56 was expended on bridges and $4,000, as they claim, on re- pairs to the court house, leaving the aver- age cost of county affairs, without any per- manent improvements, under their manage- ment $57,679.89, or twenty-six thousand six hundred and thirty-three dollars and eighty nine cents MORE than it was under the unpopular and reckless management of Messrs. HENDERSON and DECKER. It we compare the present expenditures with those of the six years preceding the administration of Messrs. HENDERSON and DECKER, when A.J. GRIEST and JOHN Worr had charge of the business of the commissioners office, the difference will be still more startling. Why there is extraordinary increase in ex- penditures we leave the two men who have been instrumental in making it to ex- plain. The county is no larger than it was ten years ago. There is not as much crim- inal litigation as there was then; there are not as many days of court now as there were then; the assessments are no harder to make now than then; constables have no further to come now than then; there have been a few additional election districts created that would add to the expense of holding elections probably a couple of hun-- dred dollars, and the county now pays for the ticket printing which it did not then de, which would make an additional in- crease of three or four hundred dollars. But even admitting that the election ex- penses have increased to the extent of a thousand dollars, how are the other twenty six thousand dollars to be accounted for. This is one of the questions that the present managers of the county affairs, should be made to answer before they get a single vote for re-election. It won’t do for them to say ‘‘wedid as well as the Dem- ocratic board that preceded us,’’ for such is not the case. But even if it should be so, the work of that board was not approved by the tax-payers, or the present board would not have been elected. It was to effect reforms and better the management of county aifairs that Messrs. RIDDLE and FisHER were elected. How they have done it is shown by increased expenditures, to meet which increased valuations and in- creased millage both had to be resorted to. ——Don’t neglect to pay your taxes be- fore Saturday, October 7th. ——Editors JOHN F. SHORT and GEORGE E. OWENS, of the Clearfield Republican, were arrested on Saturday and gave bail for their appearance at court to answer the charge of having libeled Senator M. L. Mec- QuowN, editor of the Raftsman’s Journal. The offensive article appeared in last week’s Republican and attacked the former Senator’s public career. While we know nothing as to the truthfulness of the article we do know that all three of the Clearfield papers have been indulging in more editor- ial personalities during the last year or so than has been good for the papers or the political organizations they represent. ——Remember that if you want to vote you must have a receipt for state or county taxes that have been paid within two years. The safest way is to pay them before October 7th, which will be the last day. ——When the present board of commis- sioners of Centre county get through ex- plaining to the owners of dogs in the coun- ty what right they have to levy more taxes on dogs than is necessary to pay for sheep that are killed we will lead them into making a few more blundering admissions of incompetency. So you are counting on $700 net income from dog tax, are you? Don’t you know, Messis. RIDDLE and FISHER, that you are thus confessing your intention to violate the law your oath of office was taken to uphold? Don’t you know that you are not allowed to assess a larger tax on dogs than is required to pay for the sheep that are killed within the year for which the tax is levied p ——Commissioner’s RIDDLE and FISHER bave jumped right into. the fire in their efforts to get out of the frying pan the WATCHMAN dumped them into when it showed up how expensive, beyond all oth- ers, their administration has been. The law that they are sworn to obey says that they may levy only enough dog tax to pay for the sheep that are killed by dogs during the year for which that tax has been levied, yet in their desperation they assert that they intend to levy $700 more than enough so that they will have that much more off dog owners to pay for their extrava- gance during another year. ——The public school teachers of the State are the ones who should be emphatic in recording their votes against this QUAY- STONE administration. Many of them are teaching for less salaries than they would have earned had STONE not cut down the school appropriations, so that the liquor men would not have to pay a just share of taxes.

The coming exhibition, to be held in the city of Reading, on the 3d, 4th, 5th and 6th of October, judging by the preparations in progress, will eclipse all previous efforts in that direction. Many special attractions have been provided, and the display in every department promises to be very fine. In fruit the county is rarely excelled, and the season having been favorable, a fine assortment of varieties may be expected. The trotting, ranning and pacing races will be exciting and di- versified by a special program of amuse- ments in front of the grand stand, given between the heats. The railroad com- panies have granted liberal concessions and will run excursions at a single rate of fare for the round trip. Cars run direct to the grounds. Reading is one of the most at- tractive cities to visit, and is seen at its best during the week of the county fair. 4 ALUUAdmiral Dewey is Home Again. Voyage of 28,000 Miles Has at Last Come to an : End—Two Days Ahead of Time—The" Admiral Is in the Best ‘of Health Although Tired After the Two Years of More Than Ordinary Service, Etec. NEW YORK, September 26.—Admiral George Dewey arrived off New York at dawn and the Olympia is now ‘ané¢hored in American waters in sight of Sandy Hook. The first shout of welcome was from the pilots and crews of pilot boat No. 7 fifteen miles south of the Hook lightship. It'hap- pened to be Pilot John Peterson’s turn, Olympia ana brought her around the Hook and into the lower bay. The marine observ- ersalong the coast had sighted the Olympia in the first light of the morning. The shore batteries of Fort Hancock, manned by gun- ners called from breakfast, let loose seven- teen guns, The flagship replied with twen- ty-one, and let go her anchors not far from where the cup challenger Shamrock is moored. The admiral was in his own country again, after twenty-three months’ absence. He had returned ‘‘great with the arduous greatness of things done,’’ and he scarcely seemed to realize it. The pilot had brought aboard the Sunday papers, and a reporter of the Associated Press was re- ceived by the admiral in a cabin littered by illustratod Dewey editions, which to- gether made hundreds of pages in black and white and in colors, all concerning the great admiral and the preparations made to receive him. ‘It almost saddens me,’’ he said, to see what m$ people are doing for me. The pride. and gratification is immense and I cannot express the appreciation I feel. I did not know, I didn’t really perceive un- til this morning the splendid welcome that my countrymen are giving me. The Gov- ernors of many States are coming to see me, and the troops from Florida, Georgia and other far-away States are on their way to take part in receiving me.’ The Admiral stroked the head of a taw- ney-haired dog, the Chow dog of a Chinese breed that appears in the illustrated inter- views with the Admiral. ‘Bob here,”’ said he, ‘‘is not well. He yearns to be ashore. He is sick to get a little grass and to scamper around. I feel a good deal that way myself. I am mighty glad to get home. It is not good for a man, any more than a dog, to live on shipboard for twen- ty-three months.” The Admiral said that he felt tired, but he did not look so. His complexion is a clear bronze, his hazel eyes bright, his bearing brisk and rather jaunty. Some deep lines are under his eyes and around his mouth, but his voice is singularly clear and pleasant. The Admiral’s whole pres- ence is that of a man in his fullest powers. His manner is gentle and kind, but he is exceedingly wary and did not permit him- self to wander off into politics or to exer- cise those positive views he no doubts holds about the Philippines and American affairs there. His attention was brought to inter- views in which he is described as going rather fully into the character of the Fili- pinos and their fitness for self-government. Alluding to his arrival two daysahead of the time he was expected, Admiral Dewey said : “I am sorry that I am ahead of the schedule. The Olympia has been steamed at the uniform rate of ten knots an hour since we left Gibraltar. Several days ago we knew that we would arrive before Thursday unless we moderated our speed or. went somewhere out of our course. .Cap- eld a donsultation. The propriety of run- ning into Hampton Roads or some other port in the south was spoken of, but we concluded that we ought not to touch land first ‘anywhere except at New York. If was suggested that we cruise some distance outside New York harbor until Thurday, but we knew that if we did we would be discovered and reported. The weather looked a little squally, and it seemed to be better to be inside the Hook than outside. But the consideration that really decided us to come into port was to give Captain Lamberton a chance to clean up the ship before our voyage up the harbor. Captain Lamberton and I are proud of the Olympia and we wanted enough time at our anchor- age to rub her down and make her look spick and span.”’ : The Olympia looks as smart now asa yacht. The anchors were hardly down be- fore details of the crew were washing the ship’s white sides and touching up the stains with paint. The Admiral’s first business was to send an officer ashore with telegrams for the navy department, Mayor Van Wyck and General Butterfield annonncing the arrival. He then spent most of the morning in look- ing over newspapers and receiving repor- ters. Admiral Dewey then had a succession of notable callers. Rear Admiral Sampson, with Captain Chadwick, chief of staff, and Lieutenant Commander Winslow, his flag lieutenant, came on the Dolphin. When the dispatch boat was a mile away it be- gan firing an admiral’s salute and the Olympia replied with an rear admirals salute of thirteen guns. The Dolphin anchored near the Olympia and Rear Ad- miral Sampson and his staff went on board. They were received by Admiral Dewey, Captain Lamberton, Lieutenant Brumby and the officer of the deck, the full marine guard and band being paraded. The of- ficers went to the admiral’s cabin. Rear Admiral Sampson said that he was delight- ed with the evident good health of Admiral Dewey and he told .the admiral that he looked much younger than most of the portraits made him out to be. Rear Ad- miral Sampson remained on board for more than an hour and after returning to the Dolphin he said : . ‘‘Admiral Dewey is delighted, as is every one aboard, to reach his native shores again. He is much moved by the great kindness and enthusiasm of the people and, though shrinking from too much ceremony and public display, feels deeply the regard of which these are the outcome. In fact he feels and expresses himself precisely asa man of his fine and modest temperament may be expected to do. honors in him these fine qualities as well as those sterner ones which have given him his fame.”’ ’ Dr. Sanhorne, of the Port physicians’ staff, visited the Olympia and looked at her papers. Eleven of the crew of 375 men have typhoid fever. Some of the cases are convalescent and all of them are of a mild type, according to Dr. Percy, the ship’s surgeon. No one has died of the fever and with this exception the sailors and marines are well. Dr. Percy is unable to account for the presence of typhoid on the ship. The cases are not numerous or serious enough to cause him alarm and it is proba- ble that the sick men will be taken ashore to a hospital to-morrow. All day tugs, sail boats and excursion steamers came up near the Olpmpia and took a look at her. Everybody who asked was permitted to come on hoard. Some of the parties of sightseers on launches and steamers were invited by the officer of the deck to come up the gangway. The Oly- mpia’s anchorage was rather a lonely place and at 5:30 a. m., he was put aboard the tain Lamberton, Lieutenant Brumby and I The country |- and altogether not a great many vessels made a point of going there. ' Admiral Dewey purposes, unless his plans shall be changed by the reception committee, to bring the Olympia up the lower bay and anchor inside the harbor with the squadron of United States war- ships off Tompkinsville, of which squad- ‘ron ‘he is now in'saperior command. Dewey Interviewed. His Opinion of Otis and Also of the Filipinos. NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—The Evening Post prints an interview with Admiral Dewey, in which he is quoted as saying: ‘I thought this thing in the Philippines would be over long before this, as it should have been. I can’t imagine how they stood out until now. Of course there was the rainy season and I suppose little was done. One great trouble out there has been that Gen- eral Otis has tried too much. I told him. He wants to be general, governor, judge and everything else, to have hold of all the reins. No man can dothis. It is enough for a man to do one thing, to be one thing, but when a man tries to do everything and to be everything it is easy to imagine the result. ‘“The fight in the Philippines should be easily ended. The people had been so bad- ly treated for such a length of time by the Spaniards that they are distrustful. This is the great difficulty in dealing with them. Where we have met them and they have been in such contact with us to learn that we mean to treat them well; where they have seen that we mean what we say, there is no trouble.” “Do I think the Filipinos are fit for self- government? Well, no; not just now. They probably will be in a little time. Many of them are quite civilized and good people, but I do not think they are fit for self-government just yet.’ It was suggested to the admiral that the Democratic slate had been settled with Admiral Dewey for the Presidency and General Wheeler for the vice Presidency. ‘“Well,” said the admiral, ‘‘we should make a pretty mess of it. General Wheeler of course has had some training in the polit- ical school, but then he isa West Pointer. I had forgotten that. He would want to run everything as he would a regiment, and, of course, would make a splendid mess of it. You cannot run a government as you would & regiment.” ‘“Well, admiral,’’ suggested the reporter, ‘‘it would not be such a change.’’ ‘‘Yes,’’ said the admiral, ‘‘It would he a very great change. I am nota politi- cian, I am a sailor, my training has been all that way. I am at home on board my ship. I know my business or at least should know it. I am perfectly satisfied to die a simple sailor, who tried to do his duty. I am not a politician. I cannot make a speech, I wish I could, but I have to be content with my lot.” Dewey Ready for To-Day. Olympia Moved Majestically up the Lower Bay and Passed Through the. Picturesque Strait Amid Booming Guns—Noisy Welcome was Given—Thous- ands Upon Thousands Witnessed it From Shore, Balcony, Window or Housetop. NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—Through frolick- ing whitecaps the Olympia moved majes- tically up the lower bay to-day and passed through the picturesque strait, guarded by Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton, amid the booming of great guns, and there, inside the city gates, Admiral Dewey and his gal-. “lant tars received the glorious, ‘thunderous | welcome of the steel-walled' mei of wat as their stately ship glided up to her position at the head of the column, there to remain until the great naval pageant starts on Fri- day. Never, perhaps, did a trinmphant warrior returning from a victorious cam- paign receive a more impressive welcome. Although thousands upon thousands wit- nessed it from shore, balcony, window or housetop, and the man-of-war anchorage at Tompkinsville, where the fleet lay, fairly swarmed with tugs, yachts and steamers and every sort of harbor craft, all jet black with wild, cheering, exulting people, and the towering white walls of the city be- vond were gay with a million of welcom- ing flags, to-day’s greeting to Dewey was the greeting of his comrades of the navy. And it was eminently fitting that his com- rades in arms should have the first chance at him whom the millions are waiting to honor. The people will begin to get at him on Friday and Saturday. Very early in the morning, before Dewey left his anchorage inside Sandy Hook, Rear Admiral Howison, commander of the South Atlantic squadron, aboard his flagship, the Chicago, which arrived outside last night, travel stained and weather beaten, after her journey of 21,000 miles around South Africa, foamed in past the Hook, expect- ing to join the North Atlantic squadron in receiving Dewey upon his arrival. As Howison rounded the Spit, there, right under his eye, lay the Olympia. Dewey’s flagship was no sooner recognized than preparations were made to give her the loudest and most hearty welcome a ship could give. SEVENTEEN ROARING GUNS HEARD. The sides were manned, the marine guard was paraded and seventeen roaring guns were loosed in honor of Dewey. The Chicago’s jackies cheered wildly as she steamed past. The Olympia responded with thirteen guns, and the two admirals, come together from the two ends of the earth, waved a welcome to each other from the bridges of their respective vessels. The tugs and harbor craft which had been hovering about since daylight, toot- ing and shrieking their salutions at every opportunity, fell into her wake and puffed proudly up behind her. Every vessel che passed gave her a vaporous salute, and, as the shipping increased, the noisy demon- strations became almost continuous. The figure of the hero of the day was in full re- lief against the sky as he stood upon the bridge chatting with Assistant Secretary Allen and the group of officers. He oc- casionally turned and bowed to the noisy crowd. The grassy heights of both Wadsworth and Hamilton were thronged with specta- tors as she approached the Narrows. Sud- denly a tongue of red flames leaped from the granite side of Fort Wadsworth, and like the recoil came a streak of fire from the granite wall on the opposite side. DEAFENING ROAR OF SALUTE. Then alternately from each side, came the deafening roar of an admiral’s salute of seventeen guns. Slowly and majestically the Olympia passed the smoke-wreathed forts, answering the salute, gun for gun, until she became so enveloped in her own smoke that it seemed she might have broken her steam chest. Then she passed through the steam curtain and stood revealed before the whole Atlantic squadron, waiting an anchor off Tompkinsville to receive her. Every bit of brass and gilt on every ship of the re- ceiving column had been burnished, every spot on the white hulls painted over and every marine and sailor looked his best. Every officer had douned his most showy uniform. A Frightfal Accident. Four Men Ground to Pieces Near Elizabeth Furnace. A short distance east of Ale’s crossing, a mile below Elizabeth Furnace, a distress- ing accident occurred about twenty min- utes past 8 o’clock Tuesday evening, when four men were ground to pieces by engine 1276 passing over:their: bodies. Engineer John H. Curry and conductor Joseph Ed- mundson, whose homes are in Tyrone, had taken a train of empty cars from Harris- burg to Altoona Tuesday afternoon, and were on the way to Tyrone at the time named ahove with the engine and cab. Coming this way the engine was reversed | and consequently the tender was ahead. | At the point where the:accident occurred an east bound freight train was moving on track No. 2 while Mr. Curry’s engine was on track No. 1, directly along side the freight train. The air was heavy and the smoke from the engine of the freight train settled about the tracks and obstructed the view completely. It is not definitely known, but supposed that four men were walking east on track No. 1, and were run down by engine No. 1576, the noise of the train on the other track preventing them from hearing the approach of the engine be- hind them, while the smoke and the dark- ness of the night hid them entirely from the view of the engineer. They were evi- dently knocked down and rolled beneath the tender and engine, and later on passed over by several trains moving east before their mangled bodies were discovered by a watchman. The tank connected with Engineer Cur- ry’s engine contained but little water and coal, and for that reason jostled about con- siderably and prevented Mr. Curry from noticing any jar that may have occurred when the men were struck. When the en- gine arrived at Tyrone Mr. Curry discover- ed blood and pieces of garments on his en- gine, which was the first intimation that he had of the accident. He immediately reported the matter to the Altoona office. The men were horribly mangled; but two of their faces were recognizable yet Wed- nesday morning had there been any one present who knew them. They were young men not tramps, it is supposed, but on the way possibly to DuBois. An envelope found contained the name and address of James Hazlett, Wellsboro. . othirg fur- ther was discovered by which they could be identified. Later in the night coroner McCarthy was notified of the accident. He held an in- quest but no further information could be ascertained, and a verdict of accidental death was rendered. The remains were gathered up Wednesday ‘forenoon and con- veyed to the Lafferty undertaking establish- ment at Altoona and prepared for burial. Later it was learned that the names: of the unfortunate quartet are: James Haz- lett Jr., James H. Kerwan and John H. Dickinson, all of Wellsboro, Pa., and Rich- ard McKay, alias Richard Joseph Adams, of Providence, R. I. American Vessels Make Things Lively in Subig Bay. Krupp Gun Was Captured. Insurgents are Supposed to Have Got it from the Spaniards. Good Work by the Marines, WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—Acting Secre- tary Allen, of the Navy Department, re- ceived a cable from Rear Admiral Watson to-day giving a brief account of the engage- ment at Subig bay. It is dated the 24th at: Manila, and 838: © rior Coa ‘Mandora discovered heavy gun mounted opposite Kalaklan Point; Subig bay, ex-' changed shots with Charleston. Sent Charleston, Monterey, Concord and Zafiro, with detachment of marines and sailors from Baltimore, to capture and destroy. Attacked insurgent position 23rd; after bombardment, landing party carried en- trenchments, dispossessed ‘enemy and de- stroyed a 16-centimetre Krupp gun. Casual- ties : William Shepherd, apprentice, sec- ond class, Charleston, seriously wounded; Charles Haffke, coal passer, Concord, heat prostration. . Insurgent fire heavy, but poorly aimed. Enemy’s loss unknown. Full report mailed. The important feature of the en- gagement is the fact which is disclosed that the insurgents have been able to ob- tain Krupp guns. time of the outbreak of the insurgents against the Americans that the artillery of the insurgents consisted of a few obsolete guns captured from the Spaniards. Act- ing Secretary Allen says it is evident the navy at Manila does notintend to allow any fort to be erected by the insurgents which can be reached by the ships, and he is convinced that the squadron under Rear Admiral Watson will be able to keep the shores guarded and repeat the lesson of yesterday if the insurgents are found to be operating on the cost.

Weaver, { who had “been ‘a resident of -Aaronsburg since 1886, died at his home in that place on Wednesday, after: nearly a year’s illness with heart disease and dropsy. Not until six weeks prior to his-death did he give up and remain in the house. = Deceased was born in Haines township, August 29th, 1837, most of his life being spent on his father’s farm east of Aarons- burg, until he built his home in that vil- lage and located there to operate a meat market and do a general huckstering busi- ness. The later years of his life were de- voted to peach culture. Associated with R. B. Boob he owned one of the largest and most profitable orchards in the county.
