John Thompson, a brakeman on the shifter in the Pennsylvania yards here, had the little finger of his right hand cut off last Thursday evening while making a coupling near the round house. —William H. Runkle, 2nd Asst. hospital steward of the 47th, U. 8. V., was home from Camp Meade on Friday and Sat- urday on a two day’s furlough.

Hillibish had the end of the index finger on his left hand cut off. While he lost only about half an inch of finger it was quite enough to make a cripple of him for some time. ——TFrank Warfield, general freight and passenger agent of the C. R. R. of Pa., and Eliis L. Orvis, Esq., have taken an option on the Harshberger farm in Bald Eagle valley, with a view to developing the fine deposits of cement rock that are said to be found on it. ——There was less game brought into Bellefonte on Mcenday than there bas on any first day of the season known to the oldest sportsman. Of course the fact that most men are too busy to hunt had some- $hing to do with it, but there is no deny- ing the fact that squirrel and pheasants are very scarce, ~-—'There will be a citizen’s meeting in the Reliance fire ccmpany’s house, in Phil- ipsburg, this evening in order to relieve that company of a predicament it is in. The company owns its engine house, but it is located on leased ground and the lease, having expired, it has been notified to move the building within 90 days. An alarm of fire was rung in from the West ward on Saturday morning and in an instant the streets were thronged with people and the races of the fire companies down High street were both exciting and dangerous. A slight fire out at the poor house caused the alarm, but it was put out before the department arrived. —*““The Irish Alderman’’ to be presented here on Monday, Sept. 23rd, is not a bang about burlesque, or a travesty made up of mouthing monalogues, but an out-and-out farce comedy of the first rank, which is a’ very different sort of production, requiring in place of ‘‘a team’’ or an individual, the strength of the most versatile comedians that can possibly be secured. While driving in from her home to that of Dr. Edith Schad, Wednesday morn- ing, Mrs. Julia Schad was thrown from her buggy and quite seriously hurt. The acci- dent was caused by one of the boys having taken the burrs of the buggy to prevent an- other one from using it and then he failed to replace them. Three of the wheels ran off, leaving the vehicle clear down onto the road. Mrs. Schad is 66 years old and suf- fered a severe strain of her back. ——The church sociables, dinners and entertainments are on in full force for the season. Last night the Methodists gave one of their excellent chicken and waffle suppers in the Bush Arcade; Miss Lula Stover’s class entertained a goodly audience in the Lutheran church; the members of St. John’s Catholic church fraternized at a so- ciable at Mrs. George Lose’s on Spring St., and the W. C. T. U. is making great prep- arations for a hig festival to be held the first week of December. ——Thedevil, according to an exchange, was the first base ball coacher. He coach- ed Eve when she stole first. Adam stole second. When Isaac met Rebecca at the well she was walking with a pitcher. Sam- son struck out a good many times when he beat the Philistines. Moses made his first run when he slew the Igyptians. Cain made a base hit when he killed Abel. Abraham made a sacrifice. The Prodigal Son made a home run. David was a long distance and Moses shut out the Egyptians at the Red Sea. CouxciL PROCEEDINGS.—When C. T. Gerberich, president of the council, called his fellow advisers together Monday even- ing there were just five members present : Derstine, Garrity, Wetzel and Tripple. After the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved the following busi- ness was transacted. The Street committee reported laying new plank in High street bridge. Put in new gutter along Reformed church and parson- age. Did some grading on Howard street. Commissioner Johnson reported the danger- ous condition of the road which crosses the Central railroad side track to the furnaces on the road to Coleville. The citizens ask that the upper road be abandoned and that the lower road under the viaduct be used altogether. Council decided to notify the Central railroad company to put some cau- tion notices at this place and lay a proper crossing there. From the water works everything was reported in good running order. Various pipes and hydrants have been repaired. Sent five gallons of water to Prof. Pond at State College to be analyzed but have not heard from it as yet. Pumps running 24 hours. 5 The clerk was ordered to purchase 6 ex- pansion ringers for the fire department. There was nothingof any importance elicit- ed from the reports of other committees. Thomas Eadon claimed damages to a valuable horse sustained by stepping on a piece of broken glass in a pile of rubbish said to have been left on the highway by the negligence of the Street commissioner. This complaint was referred to the street committee and borough solicitor for investi- gation and report and it was worth some con sideration for thetown is frightfully dirty and some of the alleyways are a disgrace to a municipality.

The day was an ideal one, though a trifle too warm for foot ball, and a fine game would probably have been witnessed had it not been Friday and the 13th. There had scarcely been ten minutes of play when the most brutal scene ever witnessed on Beaver field was enacted. Burns, one of State’s star half-hacks, had just made a brilliant run of 80 yards and had been downed, when one of W. & J’s. men ran up and deliberately ‘‘kneed”” him. Not satisfied with this another fell on him and a third is said to have kicked him. Of course the little player was quite se- riously hurt and the brutality of the attack upon him precipitated a fight between some of the players of the two teams. State then declined to go on with the game and it was declared off ; neither side having scored. While the visitors were very strong, they were not any stronger than they were ex- pected to be and while their beef made it look for a while as if they would score, the longer the play continued the more evident did it become that they were outmatched in the science and finer points of the game. It is to the credit of Washington and Jefferson that most of the men on their own team deplored the disgraceful exhibi- tion of brutality on the part of several of their players. They now offer State $500 for a game in Pittsburg later in the season, but it is hardly likely that one will be played. *o0 ARE WE TO HAVE A SHIRT FACTORY Too ?—Several months ago the WATCHMAN alluded to the possibility of a shirt factory for Bellefonte and made the statement that should it materialize it would probably be located on the second floor of the Crider building, on High street, occupied by Mec- Calmont & Co. At that time the proposition made by the gentleman who desires to locate here was in the hands of the board of trade and see- ing that it was likely to lie dormant there Mr. Ed. K. Rhoads, with F. W. Crider, and several others, took up the matter personally and are now on a fair road to success. The amount they will have to raise in order to secure the indus- try is only $800 and as it will employ from seventy-five to one hundred girls the return to our people ought to be very large. Up to Wednesday evening John C. Mil- ler, in whose hands the paper was placed, had raised about half the sum and if you feel like contributing anything you should doit early as the gentlemen cannot wait longer for ug, because of the necessity of getting to work at once for their spring and summer trade. They have been investigat- ed and the firms with which they have done business for years give them the highest testimonials. Milesburg is also trying to secure this in- dustry and have offered the old Methodist church property, witha cash bonus, be- sides. em ein AAP ——Reports from the vicinity of Phil- ipsburg are to the effect that sportsmen over there bagged very little game on the first day of the season. One man got eleven squirrels, another had six squirrels and three pheasants. ——Miss Brew’s dancing school reopened for the winter season last evening. ——— Ae. ——DMusicians are wanted for the 47th U. 8. V. Inf. band at Camp Meade. re Qn. ——A. M. Harter, of Woodward, got seven pheasants on the opening day of the season. ——While hunting above Stormstown Jos. Griffin, of Tyrone, shot two wild tur- keys at one shot. — ——Perry Gummo, John Miller, David Wilson and another man each got a wild turkey in the vicinity of Howard on Mon- day. ——Deputy prothonotary Arthur Kim- port came in from his Monday’s hunting expedition with three squirrels and a pheasant. eee ——Joseph Ross is reported to be in a very precarious condition at his home near Pleasant Gap with cramps, which seized him on Wednesday. ——A marriage license was taken out in Lock Haven Tuesday by E. P. Tate and Miss Annie V. M. Rockey, both of Patton township, this county. *00— ——1Isaac Thomas and his son Isaac Jr., of North Thomas street, were among the lucky hunters on the opening of the season. They brought home two wild turkeys from out about Cato. i gpa ——The little town of Mill Hall is get- ting down to business on a large scale. Besides lighting her own streets with elec- tric light work was begun, Monday, to hang wires to Flemington and soon the lat- ter place will be lighted with electricity from the Mill Hall plant. ws ——The Commercial telephone company is again active in the effort to extend its lines to Lock Haven. Manager John T. McCormick and Ellis L. Orvis were down last week trying to remove the one obstacle in the way. It is an objection to crossing the railroad tracks at Castanea. *0o ——The venerable John Wagner had a fainting spell last week that caused his family much concern, but he has recovered almost entirely and is enjoying his usual health. He isso well and alert and bright fora man of his years, 92 and over, that others who consider themselves old at sixty should take a few lessons in his art of liv- ing. iede —The Town Crier’’ to whom Hamlet refers to in his advice to the actors, has no part in ‘‘the Irish Alderman’’ that bril- liant booming farce comedy to be pre- sented here on Monday, Sept. 23rd. Each character in the play is assumed by the very highest order of comedy talent that could be secured for his or her part, the result is an artistic success, such as very many theatre-goers do not see in a life time. eal ——Montgomery & Co’s. pumpkin con- test, last Saturday, was a great success. Fifteen pumpkins were entered; varying in size from that of an ordinary cocoanut to the monster weighing 664 lbs, that took first prize of a $10 suit of clothes for Joseph Baird, of Milesburg. H. C. Wood- ring, of Port Matilda, took second prize, a $5 suit, with his pumpkin that weighed 64} lbs. Each of the other thirteen econ- testants were given an egg carrier by the generous firm. Only two prizes had been advertised but Montgomery & Co. never do things by halves, so they made them all feel good by giving each a prize. W. G. Runkle, Esq., and W. A. Alexander, of Union township, were the judges. EEE eat ——A sensational escape from the jail at Clearfield was made Saturday evening by C. Woodring and Harry McEwen, who were awaiting trial on charges of larceny. Assistant turnkey Fred Forcey and Miss Alice Shugarts, matron, had entered the cell 100m to serve supper to the prisoners. As Miss Shugarts was in the act of passing food to Woodring he dealt her a blow in the face, brushing her aside from the door- way. Woodring and McEwen then rushed out and fled down the front steps. Miss Shugarts recovered at once from Wood- ring’s blow, and, securing a revolver, dashed to the street after the fleeing prisoners, and shot at them four times. None of the shots, however, took effect. McEwen crossed the river below town and Woodring ran to West Clearfield and took refuge in a house. He was discovered there, and as his capture was about to be made he jumped from a window and fled. rn pp pret A BOUQUET FOR CUMMINGS.—The many friends of Ralph Cummings in this place will be pleased to read the following, which we take from the Philadelphia Times’ expert resume of the State—Princeton foot ball game on Wednesday. Cummings was an Academy student last year and while his home is in Cape May he was so well liked here that everyone will be glad to know that he is making such a brilliant record. The bright particular feature of State's work was the playing of Captain Randolph Wood and Cummings. The latter put up a remarkable game in every respect. He was all over the field, several times tackling the backs, and catching the punt before the ends were down. Three times he saved the ball for his side on fumbles by falling on the ball and twice secured it for State on Princeton’s fumbles, one after the full back had muffed the punt and no other State player was near. His passing was sure and clean. Booth is a veteran centre, but the youngster clearly outplayed him in every respect. Cummings is a big, lithe boy, about 19 years old, and as strong as a Texas steer. He is a player of great nat- ural ability and with another year’s ex- perience will have no peer on the gridiron. DEATH OF MRS. MONROE. — The an- nouncement of the death of Mrs. Caroline M. Monroe, wife of Dr. David S. Monroe, the eminent preacher and presiding elder of the Altoona district of the Methodist Episcopal church, which occurred at her home in Altoona, on Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, was received here with sincere regret and much surprise. It was not known that she was sickand she was so eminently fitted for her position, so gra- cious, so thoughtful and kind that here and elsewhere, where her husband had been stationed, she was highly esteemed and appreciatively liked. She had only been ill a week or so and died of pneumonia, from a cold contracted while sitting in a cold room at the house of a friend on whom she was calling. A daughter of Charles M. Pearre, an officer in the confederate army, she was born in Frederick county, Md., December 3rd, 1833. She was married, in 1862, to Rev. Monroe, and, their only child died some years ago, but two sisters, both living in Westminister, Md., and a brother in Texas survive her. Itis her devoted husband though who has suffered an irreparable loss, for while she was a most faithful church woman, interested in all its work, and a sympathetic neighbor she was es- sentially a home woman and constantly thought for his comfort and happiness. Her pastor, Rev. Horace Lincoln Jacobs, assisted by Revs. A. W. Guyer and G. M. Hoke, conducted the funeral service at her home in Altoona on Wednesday evening. Thursday, her body was taken to Baltimore for interment in Mt. Olivet cemetery. fl I f MILLHEIM’S OLDEST CITIZEN.-—Reuben B. Hartman died at his home at Millheim, on Sunday afternoon, after a long illness with kidney troble. Deceased was born in Heidelberg township, Lehigh county, April 19th, 1820, and located at Millheim in 1839. His earthly possessions at that time were the clothes he wore, but with a rare stock of ambition he went to work and made the most of his opportunities zo that when he came to.die he was one of the most respected and generally esteemed residents of the place. In 1833 he married Margaret Harter, a daughter of John Harter his first employ- er, and to their union was born eleven children as follows : Sarah J., died in in- fancy, C. W., Lydia R. Leitzel, John H. B., William, Minnie Harter, all of Mill- heim; Mary E. Harshbarger, of Aurora, Ill. ; Anna M. Weber, of Rebersburg; Amelia M. Stover, of Coburn ; Thomas and Gertie, who died early in life. Deceased was for years a traveling agent for the famous old Hathaway cook stoves and then went West to locate, but later in life returned here and bought the old foundry at Millheim, which he owned un- til the time of his death. He was a Methodist and a Democrat un- til 1892, when he became a Proh ibitionist. Burial was made at Millheim on Wednes- day morning. | : li SQUIRE JONES.—John G. Jones, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Port Matilda, died at his home, in that place, on last Thursday night, of heart trouble after years of ill health. He was born near Stormstown 79 years ago, but his parents removed to Port Matilda when he was a mere child and his entire life was spent there. He was a shoe maker by trade but for many years he was engaged in the mercantile business until ill health compelled him to retire. He had been justice-of-the-peace for some years and is survived by two daughters, Nancy, wife of Henry Bennett, and Bella at;home. His wife preceded him to the grave some years ago, but a sister and five brothers are living, Mrs. Margaret Rook, William, Ed- ward, Levi, Adie and George. He was buried Sunday in the William’s burying ground by the side of his wife. Rev. Whiley, pastor of the Methodist E. church, assisted by the Revs. Borden and Downing, of the Baptist church, conducted the services, which were largely attended. He was a kind, christian neighbor, a lov- ing father and a good citizen. I I I A SUDDEN DEATH.—Samuel Hasel, the foreman in this office, and his wife were sadly bereaved on Tuesday by the death of their dear little son, Lewis, who died of membraneous croup at their home on east Bishop street. He was not well on Sat arday night nor Sunday, but the doctor did not decide he had croup until Sunday even- ing. Then he was very sick all Monday, til evening when there was quite a change for the better and he was up and about the room. During the night he did not seem to suffer much but his death oc- carred at eight o’clock on Tuesday, morn- ing. He was a bright, attractive little fel- low, two years old, and his death was a great sorrow to his parents. He was buried Tues- day afternoon at Pleasant Gap as the Board of Health advised that interment be made as soon as possible and privately. I I f ——Mrs. Gordon Frankenberger, aged 22 years, was found dead on the floor of her home, two miles east of Loganton, on Monday afternoon. Late that afternoon she bade her husband good-bye in apparent good health, as he started for his work, and when the other members of the family returned, shortly afterwards, they found her lying on the floor dead. She is sur- vived by her husband and two children. I ll I ——Fanny Ivy the twelve year old daughter of Dr. William 8. and Martha A. Gilliland, of Karthaus, died recently of diphtheria after being sick but afew hours. She was a winsome, bright child and her death was quite sad. Mes. JoEN CURRY.—The death of Mrs. Bridget Curry, wife of John Curry, the contractor and builder, at her home on Logan street, Wednesday morning, was not a surprise to those who knew her condition for she had been dangerously ill with pneu- monia for more than a week. Her illness dated from Sunday a week ago and she was quite sick from the first. She was 62 years of age and although of a quiet, unassuming disposition she was a most competent and capable woman, greatly beloved by her family and neighbors. She is survived by her husband and eight of the nine children, Mrs. Kate Redding, of Spangler; Mrs. Mary Monaghan, of Buf- falo, N. Y.; John, of Brooklyn; Margaret, wife of J. H. Gross, of this place, and Anna, Bridget, Susan and Christena at home. James, a son, was killed at Buffalo two years ago.

None of the Butts boys are in town any more. Law- rence is still with the Baldwin locomotive Co.; Will is in the navy yard at Newport News and was on the Kearsarge during her recent trial trip, while Fred is learning the paper business at Holyoke. THE Goop TEMPLARS.—It was probably because the majority of the club thought there wasn’t much in a name that Linn and John McGinley, Geo. Weaver, Fred Smith, John Knisely, Robert Mentgomery, George Fasig, J. Linn Harris and George R. Meek selected ‘‘Good Templars’’ as the nom de plume they would carry to their hunting camp in the heart of the Tussy mountains near Monroe Furnace in Hunt- ingdon county. The party left here Saturday morning with enough guns and ammunition to have given Aguinaldo a case of nervous prostra- tion, but up to last evening, when the hoys broke camp there were still a few pheasants drumming over there and some squirrel barking. They were living in tents and were about as comfortable as any party that ever went out from here and if you think they did not have a good time all you need do is to ask Mr. Fasig or Mr. Weaver about their little journey ‘through the gate,” or John Knisely to tell you how he and four others, with five guns, a dog an ax. were deemed necessary to capture a crippled grey squirrel that had crawled into a gum tree to die. eel reeeee—— PLAYED CARDS BY MOONLIGHT.—Such a thing rarely happens and especially at this time of year, when it is usually too cold to sit out at night, but on Wednesday even- ing a party of boys were playing cards on the station platform in this place at 10 o’clock. It was so warm that they were sitting there with coats unbuttoned, very much as if it had been a June night, and the moon light was so brilliant that no one bad a particle of trouble seeing his cards until one of them thought he had three queens and bumped up against three kings, only to find that one of his queens was a jack. The only kick that was made on the light at all was made then, but that fellow stole the next pot, after a little futile bobbing expedition, and he was so happy over it that he forgot all about his earlier trouble. > MARRIAGE LICENSEs.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- phan’s court clerk, G.
