A LARGE MATCH FACTORY FOR BELLE-
FONTE.—Basing the statement on present
calculations that seem to warrant it we
want to announce that by January 1st.
1900, the plant of the Pennsylvania Match
Co., located at Bellefonte and employing
seventy-five hands, will be in full operation,
turning out a daily product of 400 gross of
boxes containing 200 matches each.
The factory will be located on the ground
that lies along the B. N. and L. railroad
tracks between the old ‘‘fish pond house’
and Spring creek. Work was begun on
the site on Monday. It will have to be
drained of several small springs before it
can be used and this will be accomplished
by conducting their overflow into the race
from the Phoenix mills.
The factory will be 260ft. long by G60ft.
wide in the main building, with & boiler
and engine house and chemical building
separate. All will be of brick, one and
two stories high, with slate roof. Architect
Robert Cole is working on the design now.
The company will get the site in shape and
put up the foundations, but the structure
ahove will be let to contract.
The Pennsylvania Match company is
made up of several of Bellefonte's leading
business men: Among whom are Col.
W. Fred Reynolds and Joseph L.
Montgomery, S. A. Donachy, formerly
superintendent of the Hanover and York
match factories before they were gobbled
up by the trust, and owner of valuable
patents in match making machinery, came
here with a proposition that looked busi-
ness like and the gentlemen took
it up; preferring to make the venture
themselves to having the factory go else-
where. It is claimed that matches can be
made just a little cheaper here than most
anywhere else, because the wood mostly
used for them is second growth pine of
which large quantities can be procured in
this section.
The factory will be under the direction
of S. W. Donachy, an experienced match
maker who will bring enough skilled work-
men with bim to run it properly. In the
wood department, where there will be a
full saw mill out-fit all men will be em-
ployed. In fact about two-thirds of the
seventy-five hands will be men, while the
balance will be boys and girls.
Jos. L. Montgomery will have complete
charge of the business end of it and he as-
sures us that the venture is a bona fide
business undertaking out of which the
projectors expect to make some money;
owing to the superior advantages of Belle-
fonte as a location for such a factory.

SNow IN LowER BALD EAGLE.—While
we are ready to acknowledge that they do
have some things in the Bald Eagle valley
that are to be found no where else on earth
we're afraid there must have been a fly
roostin’ on the specs of the man who re-
ports that they had a snow squall down
there Tuesday night. :
It felt almost cold enough for snow and
on Wednesday and yesterday mornings, the
mercury took a very decided tumble. from
the high and mighty elevation it has had
since early in the spring. About Belle-
fonte there was a heavy frost yesterday
morning, but not quite enough to nip a
few straw hats that are still wandering
around and look as though they ought to
be laid away to get ripe for duty as rab-
bit’s nests about Easter time.
If this weather is seasonable we're per-
fectly willing to accept it without a mur-
mur, but how in the world is the question
of seasonableness to be determined when
it is recalled that on September 26th and
27th, 1881, at the time of the obsequies of
the martyr President Garfield, the ther-
mometer registered 107° and 105° respec-
tively in the shade.

STATE-GETTYSBURG.— To-morrow after-
noon The Pennsylvania State College foot
ball team will play the Gettyshurg College
eleven on Beaver field. The game will be
called at 3 o'clock sharp.
This will he State’s second line up
against an outside team this season and
will serve to show what effect the game
with Mansfield Normal last Saturday had
on the blue and white players. While
the scrub team could have defeated Mans-
field quite handily the game had its good
results as a practice and at several phases
came within an ace of ‘costing State the
ignominy of heing scored on.
At the very opening of the game Mans-
field worked the old cross-pass on State
aud would have scored had it not been for
Hewitt’s fleetness. Again, near the close
of the second half, the visitors undertook a
field goal from the 35yd line and so beau-
tiful was the attempt that the ball struck
the cross bar and only missed going over
by a bound the wrong way.
The final score, after the two twenty
minute halves, was 38 to 0 in favor of
State.

A SLIGHT BLAZE.—About half past eight
Monday night the fire department was call-
ed out on an alarm that had been rung in
from east Beaver street. The fire was only
a slight one, however, and was put out he-
fore the arrival of the engines.
It was started by a lamp that exploded
in the sitting room of Henry Gault’s house
and might have been far more serious had
it not been for the timely appearance of
Paul Sheffer, who was passing along Curtin
street and ran to Mrs. Ganlt's assistance.
He beat the flames out with a broom.

THEGRAND JURY RETURNS TRUE BILLS
AGAINST MAJOR HASTINGS.—A$ Philadel-
phia on Monday the grand jury found four
true bills of indictment against Maj. W. H.
Hastings, who was arrested here on Sept.
8th, and taken to that city to answer the
charge of forgery and false pretense, prefer-
red by Gen. Lew Wagner, president of the
Third national bank. Three of the indict-
ments charge him with fraudulently mak-
ing written instruments, and one with ob-
taining money by false pretenses.
The alleged fraudulent instruments were
papers purporting to be invoices for goods
shipped by the Hastings Truss company, of
which the defendant was president, to El-
liott & Bros., Rocke, Tompsill & Company,
and the Australian Drug company, all of
Australia. The invoice called for goods
valued “in the aggregate at $5,550.75, and
it is alleged that on the strength of the pa-
pers, which were hogus, Hastings obtain-
ed $5,000 from the Third national bank.
According to the indictments this defen-
dant is confined at Moyamensing jail in de-
fault of $15,000 bail.
The next day Maj. Hastings’ case was
called in judge Beitler’s court. and the
Governor’s brother surprised everyone by
pleading guilty. Nothing was done in the
matter beyond recording the prisoner’s
plea.
The defendant was taken up from Moya-
mensing, where he is confined in default of
$15,000, and when arraigned he admitted
his guilt, pleading to all four indietments.
The pleas being recorded, assistant district
attorney Finletter stated to Judge Beitler
that in addition to the specific charges con-
tained in the indictments there were cer-
tain other matters which he desired to pre-
sent to the court, and he would accordingly
ask that the hearing of evidence be post-
poned for the time being.
The judge granted this request, and it is
understood that Mr. Finletter and law-
yer H. A. Morrison, on behalf of Hastings,
will agree upon a date to have the matter
heard. 3
James Hastings, another brother of former
Governor Hastings, isin a critical condi-
tion in Philadelphia. He is suffering from
a severe malady, which effects both legs.
He is 60 years old and resides at 1709 Jef-
ferson street, Philadelphia. He has been ad-
mitted to the University hospital.
Dr. Goldsmith stated that Mr. Hastings’
case is very serious. ‘‘The patient is
very ill,’” he said. “I have not thorough-
ly examined him, but from what I have
seen I believe that both legs will have to
be amputated. Owing to his extreme age
considerable care will have to be exercised
to save his life.” !

‘SWEET WEDDING BELLS.—A very pret-
ty wedding was celebrated at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Morris W. Cowdrick, 1815
Sixteenth street, Niagara Falls, N. Y., on
Tuesday evening, when their daughter,
Mabel S., was united in marriage to Mr.
Peter Romeiser by the Rev. R. C. Grames,
of St. James Methodist Episcopal church.
“The maid of ‘honor was Miss Edith Otto,
the bride's niece, of this place, and among
the guests were Mrs. A.:S. Garman, Miss
Rubie Piper and Mrs. Thos. Rosensteel, of
Tyrone, and Morris Otto, of this place.
The bride and groom left soon after the
ceremony for a visit to’ Williamsport,
Bellefonte and Tyrone, where the bride has
many relatives and friends. She is a fine
looking girl and so amiable and attractive
that she was always a great favorite here,
the family home until a few years ago.
Her father and brothers are all doing so
well at Niagara that there is no likelihood
of them coming back to Bellefonte and now
there is one more tie, for Mr. Romeiser is in
the employ of the Carborundum works
and is a well to do young man, thoroughly
identified with the progress of Niagara
Falls, where they will make their home.

world requires specialists these days and is going
in for the eye, ear and throat.
—Mr. and Murs. D. M. Kerlin, with their neice,

friends about here; their former home. Mr.
Kerlin didn’t say whether his next visit will be
after an absence of seventeen years, as his last
one was, or not, but we rather think he won't
stay away so long, as his visit has been so enjoy-
able that he will come back oftener in the fu-
ture to see the friends of his boyhood days.
AFTER FORTY-THREE YEARS.—One day
last week a reunion of six sisters occurred
at the home of L. C. Bullock at Mileshurg,
which will ever be a memorable event to
them, since it was the first time they have

They were Mrs. Kate Peters, Fleming;
Miss Mollie Eckert, Bellefonte; Mrs. Eliza-
beth Nyman, Fleming; Mrs. Sara Brown,
Pittsburg; Mrs. Etta Watson, Snow Shoe;
Mrs. Lydia Baker, Desmoines, Iowa.
Of the six girls two are daughters of
