Musser and Capt. Amos Mullen, all of Bellefonte. —The ladies of the Bellefonte Metho- dist church are making arrangements to present the ‘‘Spinster’s Convention’’ some time in the spring. It isan amusing play in olden time manners and dress, very much on the order of the ‘District Skule,’ which was given with go much success here recently. Rev. George King preached his fare- well sermon to the Milesburg Methodists on Sunday night and departed for Confer- ence at Hazelton. Rev. King has heen there five years and in that time he has done a wonderful work. It is not a matter of surprise, therefore, that the Milesburg people are very sorry that he will have to change. ~—Geo.L.

A meeting of the general monument com- mittee is to be called soon and a permanent working organization effected.

She was engaged in getting dinner and had the beans hoiling on the stove, in a fairly tight vessel. There being too little an opening for the escape of the steam the vessel exploded; scattering hot beans and scalding water in all directions. Mrs. Heb- erling and her little daughter were both badly burned. The former suffered most. Her face, neck, arms and shoulders were burned in such a painful manner as to make her survival a serious question for a while. She is recovering nicely now, however. Report has it that the ceiling of the kitchen looks as though it had been shot at by a first class hailstorm. ote THE COOPER SHOP AT MORRIS’ GAP QUARRIES BURNED.—The cooper shop at Morris’ lime kilns in Armor’s Gap caught fire Monday evening and its lurid glare in the heavens northeast of town was enough to create a little excitement on the streets. The shop was a large frame building standing near the kilns and crusher at that place and it was with difficulty that the latter more valuable buildings were saved. In fact it became necessary to take a fire engine down from this place to keep the flames from spreading. The shop wa: a frame structure and con- tained about one thousand barrels in var- ious stages of completion, together with the tools of the workmen engaged in mak- ing them. The origin of the fire is a mys- tery. There was no insurance. coe — WELCOME NEWS FOR FARMERs.—It is a matter of more than ordinary importance to the farmer to know that there is one im- plement that he must have that can be had without paying an increased price for it. It is the Oliver Chilled plow. There is no place else that farmers are offered this opportunity,but Messrs. Potter & Hoy, the enterprising hardware men of this place, have made arrangements by which they can furnish them at former prices, and they purpose doing so. For this opportunity every farmer will be thankful. An adver- tisement in another column tells all about it. Er SuPT. GEORGE GRIM HAS RESIGNED. — Supt. George Grim has resigned his posi- tion at the Empire iron works and will move his family to Columbus, Ohio, where he has accepted a much better place. The Grims will leave here on the first of April. Though they have been residents of Belle- fonte but a comparatively short time they have made numerous friends who will be genuinely sorry to learn of their departure. At Columbus Mr. Grim will have sole charge of two furnaces, either one of which is much larger than the Empire. fp —— Three large tramps entered the Mill Hall electric light plant about mid-night Saturday and after thinking they had over- powered night engineer William Gingery, they turned off the town circuit and pro- ceeded to ransack the place. The engineer wrested himself loose from the two who were holding him and fled from the build- ing; giving the whistle a toot as he ran. This brought F. G. Davis, Joseph Bowes and Davis’ father to the rescue. Then the four Mill Hall men went at the tramps and trounced them good. It is thought that the tramps intended to turn off the lights and procure tools with which to burglarize a number of places in the town. errr Ql rrr ——Owing to unforseen circumstances, Dr. Salm will be unable to take personal charge of the office he has opened at 21 north Allegheny street, in this place.

Consultations free. ee ——A party of three tramps got drunk and camped out for a night near the Phil- ipsburg tannery on Monday. They built a fire and probably after failing to sleep one of the men rolled into the hot coals and was terribly burned about the breast and other parts of his body. He was taken to the hospital.

Mr. Kneiss is very well known in Bellefonte and his friends bere will be pleased to know that he has finally decided to quit and take the ‘‘easy days?’ that his years of faithful, hard work have earned for him. SHE HAD VISITED HERE FREQUENTLY. —The Lancaster Intelligencer recently pub- lished the following obitnary of a young | woman who has frequently visited her rela- tives, the Potters, in this place, and who will be remembered by the many friends she made here. Margaret Potter Foltz, wife of Charles Steinman Foltz, of the Intelligencer and the Penn Iron company, died on Sunday morn- ing, Jan. 28th, at 10:20 o’clock at the Uni- versity hospital, in Philadelphia, where she had been for several months undergoing treatment.

He died in Texas after the war, and his widow, who had been Ruth Lee Norris, of Watertown, Wis- consin, made her home in that town, where Margaret Irvin, her only surving daughter, grew to womanhood, graduating from the High school and entering the University of Wisconsin in 1886. She took the full scien- tific course, easily meeting the notably high standard of that University, and grad nated with honors in 1890. She was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gramma fraternity. After graduation she taught botany and physics in the High school at La Crosse, Wisconsin, until her marriage with Mr. Foltz, whom she had met when on a visit- to her cousin, Mrs. A. J. Steinman, of Lan- caster, in the summer of 1892. She was married at La Crosse, April 25th, 1894. Mrs. Foltz had two children, both of whom survive : Ruth Potter Foltz, and Frederic Steinman Foltz.

SE —Mrs. Daniel Irvin, of Julian, spent Sunday at the Bush house visiting her son and danghter-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. Edward P. Irvin. —C. M. Bower Esg., went to Philipsburg last evening on business pertaining to the settlement of a large estate for which he is counsel. —Deputy postmaster Austin Brew has returned from Atlantic City, quite improved in health as a result of his two week's rest there. —Miss Mollie Snyder and her sister, Mrs. Ed- ward Cooke, left for New York on Monday morn- ing, to be gone ten days. —Willis Williams, the youngest son of Cap’t. 8S. H. Williams, arrived home from St. Louis, Mo., on Saturday morning. He had been work- ing in that city for about a year. —Train dispatcher John Walsh of the C. R. R. Pa., has returned from Corning, N. Y., where he was on a little visit designed for rest from the great strain of work which has broken him down lately. —James Conroy, manager of the Bellefonte Glass Co., went to Philadelphia on Monday to consult Dr. Curtin for a week or ten days. For some time he has been troubled with something like pleurisy. —On Saturday Mr. George Williams, of Lemont, was in town making arrangements for the sale of his household effects. He expects to break up his home now that Mrs. Williams is dead and his children are all married and gone. —Col., W. Fred Reynolds went to Lancaster Monday afternoon, called there by the iliness of his grandmother, Mrs. Ellen J. Forduney, who expired that evening. She was the widow of the late Col. W. B. Fordney and was 87 years old. —Mr. James Lingle, the veteran dairyman of Milesburg, was an early caller on Monday morn- ing. That iz, it was early for us, but for a man so long schooled in early rising as Mr. Lingle has been 8 o'clock a. m. undoubtedly seemed like the middle of the day. ] — Joseph L. Neff, the stalwart auctioneer, farmer and Democrat of Boggs township, was in town on Friday on his way up Buffalo-run to cry the Behrer sale. Ie has been on the block a num- ber of times this spring already and has had the satisfaction of having fine returns for his work. —Joseph Leathers, of Mt. Eagle, was a Belle- foute visitor on Wednesday. He farms down in Howard township and, like all the other members of that well known family with whom we have had any dealings, prefers having usin his debt to having the conditions reversed. He is a son of 8. B. Leathers Esq. —Former county commissioner H. C. Campbell was in town between trains yesterday on his way home to State College from a visit to his son John, who is in the A. G. Morris office in that place. Mr. Campbell is living in retirement at the Coliege, while his son Milo is running the farm down at Fairbrook, —Herbert Sheffer has already given up his position with the C. R. R. of Pa., freight depart- ment to accept a position as traveling salesman for the Fairbanks Scale Co. Mr. Harry Brew has been promoted to the office of Pittsburg agent for the Fairbanks Co., and his elevation made a place into which Herbert Sheffer will fit nicely. The Sheffers will not move away from Bellefonte. —Mr. Henry Walkey, of Logan street, was wan- dering around in the West ward Monday evening and dropped into this office for a little chat. Of course it isn’t an unusual thing for him to be over in the West, but it is at night. All day long he works at pattern making at the Jenkins & Lingle shops and that just reminds us that last fall he thought he would try a change and went elsewhere to work. It lasted only a few months; for Henry had been so long with the Jenkins & Lingle people that it seemed unnatural to be without him and he went back. —Miss Anna Valentine left for Summerville, Ga., on Wednesday, in the private car “Octavia.” She was accompanied by her sister Caroline and nurse. Miss Valentine's recovery from her re- cent severe attack of pneumonia has been slow and she was so weak and nervous that it was thought that the spring months might be spent in the South, thus encouraging a more rapid ‘and permanent recovery. Summerville is a resort just outside of Augusta, where the fine hotel Bonaire is located. Mrs. Margaret Wilson and Miss Sallie Norris traveled as far as Harrisburg with her in her car. —One of the pleasantest visitors we have had in along time was the venerable father of Mr. John T. Zeigler, of Abdera, who was in town on Mon- day and dropped in to pay a little bill for his son. The old gentleman has reached the 74 year mark, but he still farms, runs a saw mill and travels over the country selling his products with the alacrity and shrewdness of youth. It isn’t only business he is up on either, for when our glib old Irish friend Jimmy Clark began to spout off Boer and Philippine war politics the elder Zeigler took up the discussion with the air of a man thoroughly familiar with the subjects. —S. B. Leathers Esq., of Mt. Eagle, was in Bellefonte Friday; being only his second visit to town since last fall. Mr. Leathers is of the opin- ion that when there is really nothing to bring a person to Bellefonte he has no business to come, and his logic is sound. Itis usually the fellow who comes to town without any business who is neglecting some work at home and they often get into mischief here, too. Mr. Leathers came up to get a nice check cashed that paid for a lot of handle wood he had furnished the Mt. Eagle Handle factory, then he started in to pay off the one or two little bills ontstanding against him. —On Monday Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Spangler, with their six children, departed for Freeport, Illinois, to make their future home near that place. Mr Spangler is married to former county treasurer James Gramley’s eldest daughter and they had been living on the Curtin farm in Pot- ter township for four years. Their sale there, Tuesday of last week, amounted to $2,030. The Spanglers will farm just outside of Freeport for Christ Showers, an implement dealer of that place. We congratulate that community on hav- ing secured him as a resident, for, barring pol- itics, he certainly is about as nice a man as can be found anywhere, And in politics Mr. Spang- ler never was so bad a Republican that he couldn’t vote for a good Democrat once in awhile. —Benj. Beaver, of State College, spent Monday in town on business. While here he dropped in to see how badly we looked after being flooded, as we were recently and he undoubtedly came to the conclusion that whatever our condition might have been we weren't a bit worse oft than he was the day he tumbled into Sweitzer run in Orn- dorf’s meadow, near Woodward, years ago. Ben was just a boy then and was on his way to Sun- day school, when he met Harrison Clark, his sis- ter and another girl. The four of them were dressed in their Sunday-go-to-meeting’’ best and went happily along until they struck Sweitzer run and all got onto the plank that crossed it at the same time. The plank broke, of course, and down went the quartet of youngsters. They fell into about three inches of water and six of mud and you ean imagine what they looked like when they crawled out and struck for home. The Warcuman office was a sorry sight, we'll own, but we'll bet Ben didn’t look much better. —Former county treasurer John Q. Miles, of Huston Twp., was in town yesterday. —Mrs. W. A. Lyon, of Allegheny street, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Claire B. Williams, at her new home in Plainfield, N. J. —Mrs. Anna Woodcock went to Berwick Mon- day to stay with her cousin, Mrs. Miller, at the Methodist parsonage until conference is over. —William Raymond, who keeps the lumber road of the Linden Hall Lumber Co. in proper condition at all times, was a Be llefonte visitor yesterday. —Turnkey Wallace Brungart went down to his home in Miles township yesterday to attend his father’s sale. The latter expects to move into Rebersburg in the spring. —Emanuel B. Peters, of Oak Hall, was in town yesterday: having come down to go on Mrs. Rid- dle’s bond as administrator of her late husband’s estate. He is a brother of Mrs. Riddle. —Mrs. John Porter Lyon went up to Tyrone yesterday to attend a dinner given by Mrs. La- port. She returned last evening to continue her care of her mother who has been ill with grip ever since her return from Washington. —George W. Reese and George Miller went down to Hazleton yesterday to attend the annual conference of the M. E. church of Pennsylvania now in session. They were to have been accom- panied by Wilbur T.Twitmire and W. I. Fleming, both of whom were detained at home by serious illness in their families. —William Bilimyer was a Montour county vis- itor who was in town yesterday taking out letters of administration on his brother's estate, the late David K. Billmyer, of Haines Twp. Henry Eisenhuth, the Ingleby lumberman, was with him assisting in getting the legal papers properly ex- ecuted. ———— lenis WEATHER A LA FOSTER.—My last bul- letin gave forecasts of the storm wave to cross the continent from March 7th to 11th and the next will reach the Pacific coast about 11th, cross the west of Rockies coun- try by close of 13th, great central valleys 14th to 16th, eastern States 17th.
