With his new gun, his little wonder ‘‘Nicie’’ and his unerring aim he brings down about as much as a half dozen ordinary hunters. On Wednes- day he caught ten rabbits and three pheasants. The International operatic cencert company that sung at Garman’s Friday night was by long odds the most artistic musical organization that ever appeared there. The singing was delightful from the opening number to the closing scene of the fourth act of “‘Trovatore,” where the trio was simply superb. — Advertisements are being posted for women and girls to work in the Bellefonte shirt factory. Seventy-five of them are wanted and those desiring places should apply to John C. Miller. Mr. Witters, the shirt man, arrived from Lititz on Wed- nesday night to make arrangements for the immediate removal of his factory. ——1It will be gratifying to the friends of the Hon. J. P. Gephart to learn that he has so far recovered from his recent serious illness as to be able to walk out on pleasant days. " Being in his 73rd year very little hope for his recovery was entertained when rhe was taken so ill several months ago, but izhe surprised everyone with his remarkable - vitality. ——The New York Central is a great rail-road. It seems to be equal to any «emergency. On Saturday night it took - two hours and fifteen minutes to run a foot- ball excursion train from Williamsport to © Mill Hall, a distance of twenty-seven miles. 1 It was running with a truly funereal aspect . as was becoming the load of ‘“‘dead ones” dt was hauling. ——Oae night last week Fineberg’s store at State College was burglarized to the amount of eighteen gold watches and sev- eral gold chains, trance to the store by cutting out a rear window. The following night they got in- to A. V. Miller’s boarding house and stole $30 in cash. The thefts were evidently committed by persons acquainted with both places. The burglars gained en-. uaa n . i ag ~ A en ES THE STATE-BUCKNELL GAME.—For the third time in thirteen years the Bucknell University foot-hall eleven has been trium- phant over State and a sadder and more surprised lot of foot-ballists never left a field than were those wearing the blue and white when the referee’s whistle stopped the game at Williamsport Saturday after- noon aud all hope of tying the score of 5 to 0 was at an end. State has been flying along under the de- lusion that she is the Harvard, Yale, Princeton - class this year, with such teams as Bucknell’s unworthy serious considera- tion, but George Hoskins gave coach Boyle and captain Randolph such a bump on Sat- urday that they wakened up very soon to discover that their pipes were out. With a team that seemed most unfortu- nately selected the College journeyed to Williamsport, confident in her supremacy. It required but a few scrimmages to break the spell and after the awful realization dawned upon the blue and white that she had caught a tar tar her generalship seem- ed as bungling as that of the English at Glencoe. A surprising feature was the fact that only once during the game did Bucknell have the hall nearer State’s goal line than 30 yds and that was at the time she scored her only touch down. While State was on Bucknell’s 20yd line three times and lost the ball on downs by using plays on which she hadn’t gained an inch previously. Saturday was undoubtedly Bucknell’s day and she won by fair and square meth- ods in a very clean game. Such a result could not have been obtained on any other day during the season. The Lewisburgers were in the pink of condition, while State presented four cripples and a man who had never been in‘a game before, all loaded to the gunwales with confidence and that is the reason they slipped up on the Bucknell gold brick. Since the two institutions have met on the foot ball field they have won and lost as follows : Year. State Bucknell 0 No game. The only consolation there was in the Saturday mess for the State rooters was the failure of the Bucknell supporters to back their team. There was no Bucknell money to call odds of 5 to 1 on State and the only bets the gold and blue had to of- fer were 1 to 3 that they would score. They had no more idea of winning the game than they had of using Hoskins’ head as a bal- loon from which Stanton might have ac- complished a parachute drop behind our goal line. The only hope they had of scor- ing was through Mr. Phenomenal Mathew- son’s drop kicking, but on the only two at- tempts he made State's men had him drop- ped hefore he even got the ball lifted from the ground. Lene. : A DECISION OF INTEREST. --On Wednes- day judge Love handed down a decision in the case of Bilger vs Spring township. It is to recover for services in destroying Cana da thistles and is of interest to taxpayeis all over the State. : In July, 1898, supervisor John Bil- ger, of Spring township, was notified by the constable of the township to cut certain Canada thistles on lands along the public road before the thistle went to seed, under penalty of prosecu- tion. Bilger cut the thistle and received pay for the same from the township treas- urer. Last spring, when the auditors aud- ited the township accounts they surcharged Bilger with the amount. Bilger brought suit against the township authorities to re- cover for the work done, and at the last term of court a jury awarded him a verdict for the amount of $9.35. Judge Love hand- ed down his decision, setting aside the ver- dict of the jury, in a declaration that sup- ervisor Bilger cannot recover from the town- ship, according to the law, but must bring suit against the owners of the property The reason that the supervisor was un- able to recover from the owners of the prop- erty at the time was that it was the proper- ty of the defunct Valentine iron company, which later passed into other ownership by process of sheriff’s sale. El eT THE BusH HOUSE To CHANGE COLOR.— Ever since 1874 the Bush house has stood as a great white sentinel at the railroad gateway to Bellefonte. Most of the travel- ers who either stop or pass through the town have been impressed with its greatness and in many instances the Bush house is the one building they remember. For years it has been white or cream. In 1874 it lost the original brick color by being kalsomin- ed, but now it is,to go hack again. Ecken- roth and Montgomery have just secured the contract to make it red again and have be- gun the job. First, the building will he washed all over with lye in order to take as much of the old paint as possible off of it and then it will be painted brick red with dark green trimmings. The change will be very marked and is calenlated to change the entire appearance of this part of the town. msec ——Bills aggregating $1000 have already been rendered the commissioners by con- stables who have done their duty by fight- ing forest fires within the past year.

At the age of 88 he went out to exercise his right of citizenship.

The church had recently been repaired at a cost of $500 so that it presented quite an attractive and comfortable aspect to the large congregation that gathered to hear Rev. 8S. F. Forgeus chaplain of the Hunt- ingdon reformatory. —O ——The Reliance fire company solicitors in Philipsburg are having trouble raising enough money to purchase a $1,200 site for their engine house, which has to be moved on account of an expiring ground lease.

He was at I't. Reilly last week, but is now at the Precidio in San Francisco preparatory to sailing for Manila. While it has been a number of years since Will was in Belle- fonte there are many here who remember him and will be glad to know that he is among the living.

GILLILAND, Sec’y. a ——The stunting habit of cigaret smok- ing is said to be on the increase among Ty- rone public school children. EE —— aN : ———— JoHN C. MARTIN PASSES AWAY.—On Thursday evening Milesburg lost one of her best known citizens when John C. Mar- tin passed quietly into the realms of im- mortality. His death occurred at his home and was the direct result of a cold that he contracted while visiting his son Daniel in Philadelphia last September. The cold settled in a wound in hisside and while he suffered greatly from it it was not thought it would prove fatal until he took the last sinking spell from which he could not rally. Deceased was born in Howard, August 9th, 1844, and was a son of Hugh Martin, a pioneer of that place. His early life was spent about Howard and after beconiing an iron puddler he moved to Mileshurg, where he resided thereafter; being employed at the McCoy & Linn works almost constant- ly until he retired to become postmaster of his town under the first Cleveland admin- istration. His work was so efficient then that during Cleveland’s second term he was again called upon to serve as post- master. He was a veteran of the civil war from 61 to 765. In 1861 he enlisted in Co. A, 45th P. V. and at the expiration of his service re-enlisted to serve with distinction until the end of hostilities. In 1872 he was married to Miss Catharine Emel, who survives him with their eight children : William, James, Daniel H., Patrick, Lizzie and John and Mary and Raymond adopted children of a deceased brother. Services were held in St. John’s Catholic church in this place, Monday morning; the large cortege that followed the remains to their last resting place attesting the high regard in which John Martin was held in the community. Miss GRACE Houck MARRIED. — Grace Bonheur Houck, who was so well known and so popular in Bellefonte during the pastorate of her father, Rev. Wm. A. Houck, of the Methodist church, was mar- ried at Mt. Carmel last Saturday evening. The Star, of Monday, published the fol- lowing account of the event : Grace Bonheur, the youngest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Wm. A. Houck, was mar- ried in the Methodist Episcopal parsonage Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock to Mr. Robert Sayre Mereur, division superin- tendent of the Lehigh Coal Co. The cere- mony was performed by the father of the bride in the presence of the immediate fam- ilies: Mrs. Wm. A. Houck, mother of the bride, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Hildrup Jr., Dr. and Mrs. Henry M. Stine and Mr. Herbert S. Houck, of Harrisburg; Mr. Chas. A. B. Houck, of Hazleton, Mr. Frank D. Houck, of Lebanon, Mrs. Frederick and Miss Mercur, mother and sister of the groom, Mr. Fritz Mercur, of the U. 8. A., brother of the groom and Miss Norris, of Philadelphia. In the parlor, attractively decorated with palms, chrysanthemums and varia-colored autumn foliage, produc- ing a most pleasing effect, the ceremony was performed. The bride, ever attractive, was handsomely costumed in an embroider- ed gray crepe and with the distinguished looking groom made a picture as they stood to receive the vows and a father’s blessing that will long be remembered by the wit- nesses. Following the congratulations a supper was served when the bridal couple hoarded the 6:42 Lehigh train for a tour of the Southern States. On their return they will make their home in Centralia. No wedding event in our midst has attracted more general interest than this one cele- brated on Saturday. The contracting couple enjoy an acquaintance and friendship ex- tending over Central Pennsylvania and while only the family representatives at- tended yet testimonials of the esteem in which they were held found their way to the M. E. parsonage. There presents were handsome, costly and in a profusion pos- sibly never approached in a local event be- fore and this large circle of friends wish for them a union charged with all the hap- piness that can come the way of married life. eae —— “Under the Dome’ is from the pen of Lincoln J. Carter who has compounded more successful melodramas than any man now tempting Providence. Witness his ‘Fast Mail,”” ‘‘Heart of Chicago,”’ ‘‘Torna- do” ete., which comes to Garman’s next Monday night. ‘‘Under the Dome’’ is said to be his masterpiece, both as to dramatic construction and in a scenic way. Upon two astonishing illusions he depends this time for success. One is a marvelously clever production of the terrific hurricane which swept the harbor of Apia, March 15th, 1889, and which cost the lives of 144 hrave men and wrecked six of the biggest war ships of the German and American navies. The first of the Samoan scenes shows the beautiful coral reef-harbor outside of Apia and the section of the beach on which the U. 8S. Consulate stands. The fourth act brings in the storm and shows the Trenton battling with the elements of ,wind and water in a vain attempt to keep afloat. Another clever stage 1llusion is the ferry boat trip from Jersey City to New York. Every detail of such a trip is accurately reproduced even to the enlarging lights of the opposite shore as the boat progresses out into the stream. Besides these start- ling effects the play isgiven the aid of some beautiful scenes in and about Washington. The prettiest of these is the Capitol illu- minated. > » . ——Last evening a driving party went up to ‘‘the Burnside lodge’ on Muncy mountain for supper and a view of the mountains in their gorgeous fall colors. They were Misses Helen Fuller and Helen Mason, of Pittsburg, Mary and Winifred Meek and E. T. Burnside, Wm. Wilkins and Hard P. Harris, of Bellefonte, and Dr. Geo. Wickes, of New York. ——Twenty-eight cans of two and three inch trout were received and planted in the streams about here yesterday. —— lp ——The N.Y.C. railroad has putina new siding at Mill Hall that will accom- modate sixty cars. Another indication of the growth of that place. ——Jared Harper expects to retire from business about the first of the year and his nephews, Jerome and Ed, will take charge of the grocery on Allegheny street. eee Ap es. ——The returns for Centre county puh- lished in this issue are absolutely correct, because they were compared with the of- ficial count as certified by the court last evening. —_— er ——Under the Dome,’”’ the big naval comedy drama, which will be seen at Gar- man’s next Monday night, is one of the most pretentious scenic productions of the year. As the action takes the characters of the play to Apia at the time of the terrific hurricane which proved so destruc- tive to the German and American war vessels assembled there, the opportunity for tremendous scenic display is abundant. The author manager seems to have availed himself of his opportunities, as the storm scenes ending in the wreck of the Trenton are said to be marvelously complete in detail and second in their awful realism only to the storm itself. Other scenes of the play are a remarkable mechanical and scenic illusion perfectly counterfeiting a ferry boat trip from Jersey City to New York, a view of the Capitol at Washington during a night illumination, several sets showing familiar localities in Washington and a pretty Samoan scene. News Purely Personal. —E. C. Humes, of DuBois, is in town on a short visit to relatives at his old home here. —Mrs. John L. Nighthart, of east;Bishop street, is in Jeanette visiting her mother.

McClure, from Princeton, and Coburn Rodgers, from State, were among the Bellefonte students at distant insti- tutions who dropped in to vote on Tuesday. —Mrs. William Shortlidge returned home Tuesday from a two weeks’ visit in Westport, where she was the guest of her cousin, Mrs. MecMicken. Mrs. McMicken has given up her home in Westport and gone to Clarion to spend the winter. —Jerome G. Harper has dropped his work in the Harper store, on Allegheny street, for a two weeks’ vacation. After voting, on Tuesday, he started for Pittsburg, but the probabilities are that he forgot to get off until he reached Youngs- town, Ohio. —J. Miles Kephart, L. Olin Meek, John 0'Con- nor and T. Clayton Brown, all of Philadelphia were among the crowds in town on Tuesday. They took advantage of the cheap railroad rates to come up to visit friends here. All of them were looking well. —“Johnny” Mulfinger was in from the Gap yesterday to get the real news of the election and report that they had had a very pleasant time out there on Tuesday. “Johnny” is a good Demo- crat and the returns from South Spring show that there are a lot of others just like him. —Sam Reynolds, of Lancaster, was an arrival in town on Wednesday evening and is a guest at the home of his brother, Col. W. Fred Reynolds. He came up on a little hunting expedition so Col. Reynolds and Joseph L. Montgomery took him down to the Country Club yesterday for quail. —Harry McDowell was up from Abdera on Wed- nesday morning looking as happy as the most successful Democrat in the county. While he was interested in the election returns it wasn't that that made him smile. He has something else on hand that is quite pleasant to contem- plate. —Sam’]l Baiser and his brother Will, two of the best young Democrats in Patton township, and it takes good ones to be Democrats up there, were in town on Wednesday on their way back to their jobs. Sam is working up at Johnsonburg while Will is away ont in Butler county. It wasn’t too [ far for either of them to come home to vote. —John Todd Jr., of Philipsburg, was in town on Wednesday, having come over as return judge from the north precinct of Rush with a vote that the Democrats over there have reason to be proud of. He remained in town only for a short time as he was on his way to Metz, Virginia, where he expects to take a week’s hunting for wild turkeys and then bring Mrs. Todd and John III back home from their extended visit in the South. —Rev. D. Y. Brouse, of Eyer's Grove, was in town on Wednesday and his appearance had un- dergone such a change that few of his friends here recognized him. He has a Van Dyke beard and, we hesitate not to admit, that it is be- coming. Rev. Brouse was in town on a little business at the court house. He had been up in Pennsvalley, where he is delivering a course of lectures, and ran over here between trains, though he didn’t have time to go up to see’ his old friends at Pine Grove. —Two old chums happened to meet in this office Wednesday morning and there was a lot of talking about good times in other days up in Ferguson, Harris and College townships. They were Geo. W. Ward, of Pittsburg, who is in for a visit of several weeks at his old home at Pine Grove, and Charley Moore, of Boalsburg, who was down with the Harris township election returns. —0, J. Stover, a former Centre county boy who is now making as much in one year as he did in five, when working about Eagleville, was in town Wednesday calling on his friends and enjoying himself. He is located at Rathmel, Jefferson county, where he is flourishing like the proverb- ial green bay tree. Mr. Stover is a son of the late John A. Stover, of Eagleville, and part of his business up here is to look after some property he owns down in the metropolis of liberty; a block of which is the Blanchard hotel. oii RRL MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- phan’s court clerk, G. W. Rumberger, dur- ing the past week: Luther K. Dale, of Oak Hall, and Annie J. Houser, of Lemont. Frank L. Baird and Ora S. Boyer, both of Milesburg. Samuel Breon, of Spring Mills, and Eliza- beth A. Bathurst, of Bellefonte. Wm. R. Long, of Howard, and Jose Hoy, of Walker. Ezra C. Harter and Maggie Young, both of Coburn. ce Ap inertia : A MONSTER RADISH.—Bob Haas was in town on Monday afternoon with the great- est monstrosity in the shape of a radish that we have ever seen. It was grown from a common variety seed and weighs 93 lbs. The monster vegetable is on exhibition at the Brant house, where everyone can see it while regaling themselves in the nicely fit- ted cafe. Centre Hall. George Mowery will move to Lewistown in a short time and act stableman for a livery- man in that town. J. Witmer Wolf and his daughter Emma are in Philadelphia. The latter is being treated at a hospital for spinal disease. Rufus Strohm, editor of the Practical En- gineer, published in Philadelphia, came home to Centre Hill to help boost the Republican ticket. Chairman Dauberman was successful in getting out the full vote on the Democratic side, with the exception of those who were unable to go to the polls on account of sick- ness. . The Commercial exchange girls didn’t get enough money in the purse made up by those anxious for election news to buy a farm, but still it showed a good spirit to reward for good service. Lantz Burris, who lives on Meyer Bros. farm near Centre Hill, will move to Mrs. Bairfoot’s farm near Gregg station. Mr. Meyer, one of the owners, will occupy the farm thus vacated. D. J. Meyer will sell his farm stock and implements in the spring and rent his farm to Newton Yarnel, who at present is farming that place with Mr. Mey- er's stock. » Squire Michael Shaffer, who with his son live on the old Foster farm, is contemplating a trip to Illinois between this and the holi- | days. He has a son residing at Cedarville and a brother at Peatone, which are the points he will visit. The squire is a staunch Democrat, and has missed but one election, and that of minor importance, since he has attained his majority. The North Potter election board had new faces on it and performed their duties in a most satisfactory manner. The board con- sisted of Messrs. David Bradford, judge ; in- spectors, James A. Wert and Corman Spicker; clerks, John Wert and Porter Odenkirk. The borough board was composed of Messrs. John Krumrine, Olie Stover, Lyman Smith, Al Krape and W. O. Rearick. The election passed off very quietly, and the tally sheet would lead one to believe that nearly all—Democrats and Republicans— voted fairly straight, which, however, was not the case. Strohm was badly cut by Re- publicans, but the neighborly;Democrats who felt positive that he would be defeated com- plimented him with an X, which evened matters up. Had he received the full Repub- lican vote, together with the complimentaries his minus majority would have been consid- erably lessened. The same program was carried out in the case of Harper and Robb, but to a much less extent. ——If you want fine job printing of every description the WATCHMAN office is the place to have it done.
