Taylor, on Howard street, last evening. It was just as de- lightful as it was successful financially. Those who sat up and watched for the shower of meteors that was announced for last Thursday night are not saying much about what they saw. The fact is they didn’t see anything, for the shower wasn’t visible in America. ——Mr. Ed. Keefer, Supt. of Stevens’ lime stone quarries, will lead the men’s meeting at the Y. M. C. A. on Sunday at 4 o'clock. A special invitation is extended to all the men and boys of the town to turn out on this occasion as this promises to be a very good meeting. ——1It might be well for the ladies to keep their eyes open for a swindler who is operating as a salesman of tailormade gowns. The scheme is for the agent to collcet §5 in advance for a suit worth $15 that is ordered and promised to be deliver- ed later by a lady who never appears. ——The evangelistic workers ¢f the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. were out on Sun- day night and their labors bore fruit in a great meeting at Shiloh, near Lemont. There was a wonderful turnout and the speakers, Robert Irvin and Francis Speer, were inspired to unusual earnestness. —David Harshberger, the young son of H. H. Harshberger Esq., of Penn street, has heen dangerously ill for some time with something that was supposed to be an abscess on the lung. An operation for its removal was made on Saturday and the discovery was made that there was no ab- Scess there. He is recovering. The Academy foot hall eleven will play the Williamsport High school team on the glass works meadow, on Saturday after- moon. The game will doubtless be a very interesting one and the Academy boys are prepared for it. They intend having the field roped off and several officers there to keep the crowd behind the lines. ——On Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Showers celebrated their fifteenth an- niversary of their marriage at their home near Zion. There were a great many zguests present and all enjoyed the amuse- ments, as well as the bountiful repast that was served. The happy couple were the recipients of many costly and useful gifts in crystal. ——The ladies missionary society of the Presbyterian church held their regular Thanksgiving tea in the chapel, on Tues- day evening. Mrs. James Harris, the president, and Mrs. R. G. H. Hayes, were in charge. Religious services were held from four until five and tea was served from five until six.

Harris Hoy appeared on behalf of Col. W. F. Reynolds to notify council that the first payment of $530.00 on the Undine en- gine house would be due on Sept. 5th. Upon motion of Mr. Houser, seconded by Mr. Wetzel, an order was drawn to lift the bond when due. S. D. Ray appeared to ask council for permission to put in an eight or twelve horse power motor for the new shirt factory and to fix a proper water rental on same. The request was referred to the Water com- mittee for investigation and report. The reports of the various committees carried nothing of particular interest and after they were made the following bills were approved and council adjourned.

If it was, what authority had council to do it? If it was not, why is it permitted to- main there? mfp mm meres THE ACADEMY VICTORIOUS.—The Belle- fonte Academy foot ball team went up to State College, on Saturday, to line up against the Sub-Freshman eleven of that institution and when the score of 6 to 0 in favor of our home kickers became known here the enthusiastic students began ring- ing the Academy bell and kept it going until the arrival of the train bearing the victorious team. A great bonfire was lighted on the hill and the boys were given a royal welcome home because they had won a victory to be proud of. Miller made the only score after a sixty-five-yard run through the entire State College team. The line-up was as follows : Bellefonte. W. Twitmire State S. F.

On Tuesday a force of men began erecting a pole line at Hamer Mills, Blair county, that is to ran through Tyrone, Warriors-mark and Seven Stars to connect with the Central Commercial company’s lines now already working as far as Penna. Fuarnaze. The work is being done by the Phoenix company of Altoona and is under contract to be completed by December 25th. When the connections are made the patrons of the local company’s lines will have service to Tyrone, Altoona, Hollidaysburg, Meyers- dale, Berlin, Salisbury, Somerset, Rock- wood and down to Oakland, Md. This will prove quite a boon in the way of service in the Western part of the State, but when the connections are made through to Williamsport and the many private lines along the Susquehanna are brought into the system: a very comprehensive serv- ice will be secured both north and east. an THEIR TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY. — Next Thursday, November 30th, Mr. and Mrs. H. T. McDowell will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their marriage at their fine country home at Abdera. In announcing the event last week we stated that it would be the twenty-fifth an- niversary, but we got them married just five yearstoo long. They will celebrate their china wedding instead of the silver one and those who have been fortunate enough to be invited may depend upon having a good time. coo a Broke His Lec oN A Foor BALL FIeLp.—Shortly after the beginning of of the foot ball game between the Academy and State College sub-freshmen at the Col- lege, last Saturday afterncon, Maurice Otto, a son of Hamilton Otto, the Alle- gheny street cigar manufacturer had one of the bones of his left leg broken, just above the ankle. The accident occurred in a scrimmage. He was brought home on the evening train and will be laid up for seme time. ee ee AAPA ren. LOCATED IN CUBA. -- On Wednesday Miss Julia L. Reed, who was so well known here because of her successful serv- ice zs lady principal at the Academy, sailed from New York for Havana. She has ac- cepted a position in a private school in the Cuban capital and expects to spend the re- mainder of the winter there. “oe ——While hunting deer, fifteen miles from Lewisburg, Frank Blair, of Mifflin- burg, was shot in the liver with a load of buck shot by his companion who saw him in the brush and thought he was a deer. Blair will die. ——The public schools of Karthause, Clearfield county, have heen closed for two weeks, on account of the diphtheria. ee ——Chas. E. Stover has closed his bak- ery at Aaronsburg and gone to Altoona, where he has secured employment in the railroad shops. Lebel ——DMrs. John B. Potter, of Alexandria, Huntingdon county, who died on last Sat- urday afternoon in her 62nd year, was a sister of Wm. Hopkins, of Howard, this county. EA Ll ——Don’t ask us to make an exception of you. We want to treat all alike and for that reason no one who does not pay for it in advance will get the WATCHMAN for $1 a year. Sa ——Fred A. Casey, mail clerk on the C. R. R. of Pa., is off on a ten day’s vacation to his home in DuBois. He just happened to get there in time to enjoy a surprise party that was given in honor of Mrs. T. F. Casey’s thirtieth anniversary. Sn pe —— While working on the new bridge over the Moshannon between South Phil- burg and Chester Hill, last Thursday after- noon, six workmen met with a disaster that was chilly, if nothing else. One of the stringers gave way, precipitating them into the stream. *0e Dr. M. J. Locke’s condition is slightly improved. Little David Harsh- berger is on a fair road to recovery, but Miss Marion Petriken will hardly survive the attack of acute Bright’s disease with which she has been suffering for ten days past. She was reported to be very low last evening. : yg ——Last Friday J. R. Reeder, of Wood- ward township, Clinton county, was walk- ing in the woods near Mader’s when he heard his dogs barking. On going to them he discovered that they had run a fox up a tree—fuuny isn’t it—which he promptly knocked off with a stone and then the dogs captured it. 090 ——Four of the men who were impli- cated in the great ‘‘corn eob pipe swindle” were convicted in the United States circuit court, at St. Louis, last Tuesday. Among them was Henry Ringbeck, the man who fleeced several Bellefonters on a fake prop- osition to start a corn cob pipe manu- factory in this place. ob citi —— John G. Platt, of the wholesale grocery firm of Platt, Barber & Co. of Phil- ipsburg, has purchased the coal on 200 acres of the Owens lands near that place, but it isnot known whether he will develop it himself. Mr. Platt isa very good business man and for that reason we predict more of a success for him as a coal operator than he experienced during his short game of poli- tics in Centre county. —1It is reported that a great many cattle that were sent out to the Alleghenies for summer pasture by farmers in Half-moon and Bald Eagle valleys, have failed to turn up. The herders are at a loss to under- stand why so many have disappeared. ‘While there are generally a few that never return after being turned into the mount- ains the percentage of losses this fall seems to be too great to ascribe to ordinary causes. AA —Melvin Williams, of Osceola, and Har- ry Spanogle, of Munson’s, were riding to- gether on an ‘‘Allepopper’’ train, on Mon- day evening. The latter had a gun with him-and in some way it was discharged, the entire load entering Williams’ left ankle, shattering the bone and leaving the foot hanging by shreds of flesh. The un- fortunate man was taken to Osceola, where his leg was amputated below the knee. — 09 — ——Rev. C. S. Long, pastor of the Chris- tian church at Lock Haven and well known wherever that church is organized in this county, has tendered his resignation, to take effect some time during Jan. 1900. He has received a call to a young church at Scranton and is so impressed with the needs of the field that he thinks he will sever his long connection with the church in this district. At a later meeting of his old congregation a vote was taken asking him to reconsider. Oe -——While John D. Barker, who lives near Philipsburg, was running his legs nearly off in a search for deer, miles away from home, last Saturday, a fine big buck came out of the woods and jumping into one of Barker's fields, ate itself full of turnip tops and departed before the empty handed hunter returned home. It was another case of the two boys who hunted over most of New Jersey in a vain search for rabbits and returned home to find that two hig fat bunnies had been playing on the tennis court in the yard most of the time they were away. re Gl -——Mr. Bert Coote and Miss Julia Kingsley were the leaders in ‘‘The Battle Scarred Hero,”’ an exceedingly clever little farce comedy that was presented at Gar- man’s, on Monday night. It was by long odds the best show of the season and would be a money maker for a return date here, which is saying more than can be said of any other booking than the International operatic company. Mr. Coote’s company is nicely balanced and the comedy is so perfect as to provoke continuous laughter without resorting to horse-play of any sort. After seeing those people stumbling about over the stage as they did it seems to us that the management of the house ought to have some respect for the equili- brium of actors appearing in the house and have that holy old carpet sewed up. THE FOURTH QUARTERLY SESSION OF THE GRANGE. — The county Pomona Grange held its fourth quarterly session for this year Friday of last week at Centre Hall. The attendance was very fair, most of those present being from different parts of the county. The sessions were very in- teresting throughout, and considerable bus- iness of importance was transacted. Chair- man Rhone’s report of the pienie eommit- tee was received with approval, and shows that that concern is in good standing. Another pillar in the county grange is the fire insurance company around which the Patrons circle with the greatest confi- dence gained from past experience. It is financially strong, it is eheap, if is prompt in meeting losses and has eliminated quib- bling on adjustments. In his quarterly report secretary James A. Keller stated that the Centre county Mutual fire insurance company has insur- ance in force at present amounting to $3,- 118,154, and that the notes in force are $158,874. There were risks written dur- ing the quarter in the sam of $203,352, which was a clear gain of $96,324, and a gain in notes of $4,863. The total losses for the quarter were $5,239; the highest sum ever reached in one quarter in the his- tory of the company. These losses have, however, all been settled and paid. Owing to the fact that seventy-five per cent of the losses occurring during the past year were caused by lightning striking un- roded barns, a committee was appointed to secure statistics trom the department at Washington on the efficiency of the light- ning red. The experience of this company has been in favor of the rod. The election of officers for the ensuing year, the installation of which will take place at the next meeting to be held in January at Hublersburg, terminated in the re-election of George Dale,of Lemont, mas- ter; overseer, George l.. Ebbs; lecturer, James F. Weaver;steward, H. Kline; assis- tant steward, George Gingerich; chaplain, W. F. Irvin; treasurer, J. J. Musser; secre- tary, D. M. Campbell; gate keeper, Luther Dale; Pomona, Mrs. J. 5. Dale; Flora, An- nie Kline; Ceres, Florence Marshall; assis- tant steward, Mrs. Wm. Grove; executive committee, James A. Keller, J. 8S. Dale, W. M. Grove, Wm. Grove. It was decided to hold a number of pub- lic and private meetings throughout the county to awaken a deeper interest in grange work in some localities. Speakers from a distance will be secured in some instances, who will be accompanied by a committee appointed by the county grange. There was great interest taken in all the proceedings and many spicy little speeches made by members, besides the carefully prepared address of welcome by James A. Keller. ellis -——Mr. Phil Foster is striving to make the University Inn at State College one of the most attractive resorts to be found any- where and from present indications will achieve great success. Many marked im- provements have been made in the interior furnishings. The lobby and parlors have been redecorated, the dining room is more attractive than ever, largely due to the number of boarders which Mr. Foster’s geniality and desire to please have drawn thither. One of the most successful and prettiest affairs in the history of the Inn was the supper served there on Iriday night, Nov. 10th, in honor of Winifred Meck and her house party, who had driven up in the afternoon and were joined at the Inn by some of their College friends. Cov- ers were laid for eighteen, the decorations were in green and white and the menu, in delicacy and deliciousness, left nothing to be desired. A few of such successes would give Mr. Foster more than a local 1eputa- tion. eA “A RARE TREAT.”’—A much-talked-of amusement is the Cox comedians in “A Man of Affairs,”” which will be presented at Garman’s this evening, Friday Nov. 24th. This great farce comedy was presented at the Hearld Square theatre over 200 times, where theatre-goers were so delight- ed with it that they reluctantly let it leave the metropolis. ‘‘A Man of Affairs,” is the latest London novelty and its success there was marked with the remarkable run of more than 500 nights. Manager Taylor has the rights to this country and it has proven one of the strongest successes of present theatricals. It is a musical comedy with an atmos- phere of the liveliest kind of life, telling a story that is scintillating with witty dia- logue, humorous situations and happenings that are most ludicrous. Prices for this engagement are only 25, 35 and 50 cents. : ——— ee ——DMr. and Mrs, Uriah Kitchen, of Eagleville, celebrated the golden anniver- sary of their marriage last Saturday. The affair was given as a sort of public testa- monial to them by their friends and neigh- bors and Kunes hall was used. The vet- eran groom is a survivor of both the Mexi- can and civil wars. In the former he serv- ed under Gen. Scott and participated in the siege and surrender of the City of Mexi- co. In the civil war he served with the 47th Penna. Vols. awe ——Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Marshall will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage on Wednesday, December 6th. Mr. and Mis. Marshall are so worthy of a golden anniversary and its attendant joys and their spacious home, up Buffalo Run, has been so often the scene of the most gracious hospitality that their friends are anticipating the event with a great deal of pleasure. mma tae PG meer ——George Leathers, who had been em- ployed in the Harrison bakery at State Col- lege, has purchased the Loveland bakery at Mill Hall. ——The Green grist mill at Milesburg bas resumed after a six week stop for re- pairs.

Miles, with Mrs. Miles and their daughter Maggie were down from Huston, on Tuesday. They were real strangers at their old home here, not having been down for some time, and there were many glad to see them. —W. T. Stover, formerly a resident of Rebers- burg, but whose home is now at 1888 Second Ave., Pittsburg, was in town between trains, a few days ago, on his way back home after a short visit to friends at his old home in Centre county.

Fortney, the Boalsburg plasterer, the enthusiastic Democrat and all-around good fel- low, was in town on Saturday atlending to a little fall business and having a chat with his many friends in this place.

They can be depend- ed upon for a good and satisfactory administra- tion and do well to arrange an early out-line of their work. —Dr. Eloise Meek, who was home from Mass_ achusetts attending her sister Winifred’s wed- ding, left Friday night for her work at Tewks. bury. She is one of the internes at the state hospital there and as it is sheltering more than twelve hundred patients now it is impossible for any of the physicians to be away more than a few days at a time. —H. G. Swabb, one of the Centre county family of that name, was in town last Saturday looking up his old friends and making observations of the boom in Bellefonte. He is located in Johns- town now and while he is perfectly satisfied with the Cambria metropolis as a business place, yet he still retains his old fondness for Centre county people and scenes. —Mrs. Letitia Thomas and her daughter, Miss Mary, have closed their home here and gone to Philadelphia to spend the winter.

Meek, of Washington, D. C. who was one of the guests at the Morris-Meek wedding last week, returned to her home on Saturday.

Nolan, formerly of Snow Shoe, but now of Chicago, where he is connected with his brother-in-law, Levy Johnson's wholesale picture establishment, arrived in town on Sunday and tarried until Tuesday morning.

His mother and grandma are well and happy. —D. M. !Shearer, an old Bellefonter, was in town on Wednesday looking around a little and while here he left it be known that he is ready to move back to Bellefonte, if he can secure a posi- tion.

Grove, build the new house he is putting up near the farm that was once his home up Buffalo-run. —Sheriff-elect Cyrus Brungart was in town on Tuesday; having taken advantage of the fine weather to drive his family up to take a look over the place that will soon become their home for three years. Mrs. Brungart, two of their daugh- ters and Miss Watkins were in his party and they had a very delightful time in town while the sher- iff-to-be and the old official were settling on a few little business matters they will close up when the one retires and the other comes in. —J. H. ‘Roush, of Madisonburg, was in town recently; the first time he had been up since the election. He is so actively engaged in farming that it takes most of his time looking after the proper cultivation of his broad acres, but politics is his one diversion and proves the leaven that stirs him up in other directions. Mr. Roush is one of the hustlers down in Miles and when he comes to town his visits are interesting because he knows a thing or two about what is going on. —Dr. George L. Wickes, of New York eity, who had been a guest at the home of P. Gray Meek for the past two weeks left, Tuesday night, for Philadelphia to visit friends for a few days before returning to his office and practice at home. He might be well versed in ills and aches and remedies and the latest surgical methods and he came up here to get away from them; but pheas- ants and squirrels and guns are not for him evidently, for he didn’t hit a thing in a two days hunt but one poor little forlorn quail. ‘edy of this name. “OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.’--Jay Gould, when asked oue time how he attained his riches answered : ‘‘by playing with other people’s money.’”” Hennessy Leroyle, the popular comedian, might give the same an- swer, for in one short season he has won both fame and fortune in the brilliant com- ‘‘Other People’s Mon- ey” has won success on its merits. It is written on legitimate lines, is elean, bright witty and probable. The scenes and char- acters are drawn from modern, every day ‘ American life ; and the principal person- age, ‘‘Hutchinson Hopper” as portrayed by Hennessy Leroyle, is a creation that will live on the stage for years to come. The story of the eomedy is novel and full of natural hamer. Hutch- inson Hopper, the role whieh Mr. Le- | royle assumes, is a millionaire stock-brok- er, happy in the contemplation of his own adroitness, and believes himself able to | cope, not only with his colleagues but with any combination of circumstances. “‘Oth- er People’s Money’ will be played at Gar- man’s Wednesday night, Nov. 29th. a ee A FAREWELL ENGAGEMENT OF LE- ROYLE.—Hennessy Leroyle, in ‘‘Other Peo- ple’s Money," will play an engagement in that charming comedy at Garman’s, Wed- nesday, Nov. 29th, 1899.

Mr. Leroyle on his return will ap- pear in a comedy that is now being es- pecially written for him by a well-known playwright. +o THe UNDINE THANKSGIVING BALL.— Preparations are already well advanced for the Thanksgiving ball of the Undine fire company and those who are invited to the armory, on the evening of November 29th, will doubtless have a very pleasant time.

Beezer, George Doll, Arthur Miller and John Morgan, may be depended on to do things right and insure an enjoyable evening for all who attend. *00 —— ——1It has been announced that chaplain D. H. Shields, formerly a Methodist pastor at Curwensville and other places in the Central Pennsylvania conference, had been ordered to Manila.

X. Ninde, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who says that Shields has been guilty of ‘scandalous immorality.’ The bishop requested that Shields be delayed in San Francisco pending the arrival in Washington of himself and Bishop Hurst. yee BRIGHT Boy WANTED.—An ambitious, bright boy is wanted at this office to learn job printing and press work.
