Tate and Solomon W. Fry, both of Bellefonte, for $10 each, per month, also Samuel Zimmerman, of Milesburg, for $8 per month. ——The plant of the Harrison Hosiery Co. at Millheim is to be lighted by elec- tricity. A dynamo has been purchased and the surplus engine power will be util- ized in running it. The Pennsylvania R. R. Co. garden- ers have been here and the flower beds about the station are well started in growth towards the beautiful condition they ap- pear in later in the season. —— Unofficial reports from the returns of the census enumerators in Bellefonte show an increase of population of about 1,000 in the borough. It will probably be in the neighborhood of 4,800. ——DMarion the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bauer, of Bishop street, while playing in her father’s store, Monday, fell, striking her forehead and cutting it severely against a pair of scales. ——-On Saturday night the Meyer Bros. saw-mill near Coburn caught fire and was totally destroyed.

The old Christian church at Flem- ington is being torn down and an edifice, one story high will be erected on the same site The new building will be 40x50 feet in dimensions, and it is expected will be completed ~hout September 1st. ——1t is beginning to look as if the first meet of the Bellefonte Driving Assoziation, on July 25th and 26th, will be very much of a success. On Wednesday four entries were received for horses from one of the best stables in Union county. Capt. A. C. Mingle purchased the Parson’s properties on Bishop and Logan streets at private sale for $2,850. At the time it was offered at public sale contractor Wm.

Miss Margaret Teats becomes head opera- tor and succeeds to the flower agencies held by Miss Tripple. ——Miss Esther Gray, youngest daugh- ter of Mrs. Emma T. Gray, formerly of Philipshurg,but now matron of the Strouds- burg Normal school, was recently graduat- ed from the Wyoming Seminary, at King- ston, with the highest honors in her class. She completed the four years course at that institution in two years and two terms. Eleven students of the electrical en- gineering course under the care of F. F. Thompson, left State College yesterday morning for a week’s visit and inspection of the great clectrical plants in New York city.

He arrived home Thursday night and the next morning the first thing he did was to land a trout out of the Bush house dam that was 16 inches long and weighed one pound and 9 oz after it was cleaned, that is, the trout did. He caught it on a red lizard. ——James Finnegan was arrested and held ander $400 bail before justice Sand- ford in Philipsburg on Tuesday evening, for selling liquor to minors, selling it ou Sunday, and selling without license.

Constable Miller intends to do his duty, no matter who it hits, so the people of Spring township who have Canada this- tle on their property had better start dig- ging it out. It is far cheaper to destroy it yourself than to pay the law’s price. Work at the new fair grounds is pro- gressing nicely. The water was turned out of the old and into the new channel on Wednesday and now the work of grading can be pushed along with greater speed. The drying up of the old creek bed was the signal for hundreds of boys to gather there and nearly every one of them came home with a nice string of suckers. Very few trout were seen and none are known to have been caught. rh — al LI COUNCIL AND THE BUSINESS TRANSACT- ED.—All of the members of council were present at the meeting Monday evening and the following business was transacted : C. M. Bower, as chairman of the commit- tee on location for the soldiers’ and sailors’ monument, appeared and informed council that a site had been selected in the Dia- mond just west of the long crossing from First National bank to Blair's jewelry store. The plot is in the shape of a Key- stone and takes up about 800 sq. ft. of the Diamond. Council acted unanimously up- on an ordinance making the grant presented by Mr. Bower. The Street committee reported the laying of several new crossings and sundry repairs. The Water committee reported work pro- gressing on the pipe laying on North Alle- gheny street. The Fire and Police com- mittee brought before council the probable need of extra policemen during the Cen- tennial and the committee was given power to act in the matter, to purchase extra hel- mets and to mount several officers whose duty it will be to precede the parades. The finance committee of the Centennial was present and asked for an appropriation of $500 from the borough. After some dis- cussion it was unanimously granted. The Burgess reported the collection of $20 in fines during the month. The mar- ket committee was instructed to cause the arrest of all huxsters found hawking pro- duce on the streets earlier than 9 o’clock in the morning. Probably the most important bit of busi- ness that came before the body was the in- structing of the Nuisance committee to act in the matter of cleaning up the creek bed between the High street bridge and the water works. It bas long been a disgrace and an eye sore but it remains to be seen whether this committee will be any more diligent in doing the work than several of its predecessors have been. After approving bills to the amount of $760.55 council adjourned. ——— THE MULE BUCKED.—Jacob Spangler, a young man employed on the farm of Hen- ry Gingerich near Linden Hall, met with a singular and serious mishap a few days ago. He was working corn with a mule and when the dinner bell rang he unhitched, mounted the animal and started across the field to the house. He had gone but ashort distance when the mule began bucking and Spangler was unseated. In falling off he was unable to extricate his one foot from the harness, but hopped on the other one, thus keeping himself up for a short distance. Then the mule began to gallop and being no longer able to run on one foot the un- fortunate man fell over and was dragged about 80 rods, when his shoe tore off, leav- ing him free. Elmer Campbell and some of the Ging- erichs found him in the lane in a deplorable condition. Both bones of his right leg were broken, several ribs were broken, back and hip bruised, the skin torn in many places, but fortunately there was only a slight hurt on his head. Dr. Kidder was called and gave him the necessary medical atten- tion. Spangler is an unmarried man, 33 years old. His home is at Tylersville. vee AN AFTERNOON WEDDING.—The mar- riage of Ruth E. Tripple, youngest daugh- ter of the late William S. Tripple,and Har- ry C. Yeager, which was celebrated on Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. M. D. Tripple, on Spring street, was a very quiet affair on account of both families being in mourn- ing. Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian church, performed the ceremony. There were no attendants and only the members of the two families were present. The bride, who is a most pleasant and affable girl, was gowned in grey nun’s veil- ing trimmed with accordion pleating, ruchings and renaissance lace. Her going away gown was a dark grey tailor-make of Irish frieze. A luncheon was served di- rectly after the ceremony and the young people, accompanied hy several of the guests drove to Milesburg, whence they left on the 4:44 train for Pittsburg. Upon returning they will go at once to the Brant house, of which the groom has been the nominal proprietor since the death of his father. Not an invitation was issued for the wedding but that the young people have the good will and wishes of many friends was evidenced by the number of handsome presents they received. From the patrons of the Bell telephone exchange, where the bride had been head operator for several years, was fifty dollars in gold, while a sil- ver set was the gift of the groom’s em- ployer. lode CENTENNIAL PLANS MATURING.—The latest news as to the coming Centennial is the announcement of the Finance commit- tee that the Bellefonte council has appro- priated $500 to the fund and the County Commissioners have done still better by appropriating $1,000. The Decoration committee has finally decided on the following plans for street decorations: There will be a great flag, with pennants, hung at every approach to the town; at each corner of the High street bridge will be erected a column and on the centre a high flag staff from the top of which to the columns will drape lines of streamers giving a canopy effect; across High street, between McGinley’s cigar store and Beezers’, the principal arch will be erected upon which will be mounted a brilliant electrical banner, then columns crowned with colored lights will enclose the entire Diamond in a Court of Honor; other columns will be erected at Bishop and Allegheny streets and at Howard and Allegheny streets. .| $77,500. ——J.

It may interest some of our readers to know that the chap- ter to which she belongs, the New York City chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, is the largest in that national society of more than thirty one thousand patriotic women. It hasa membership of over four hundred, with Mrs. Donald Mec- Lean regent, and the tablet was given and affixed by it to the old brick Dutch oven to commemorate the heroism and patriotic services of Captain Thaddeus Avery and his wife. oo —— Children’s day services in the Methodist Episcopal church ¢n Sunday were very good. The sermon in the morn- ing was for the little children and the pas- tor, Rev. W. P. Shriner, preached a very fitting and vitally important one for them. The service began at six o’clock. They were long, as usual, but so interesting that no one but the old growler complained. The little ones of the primary department did exceptionally well and their singing far out rang that of the older scholars. Little Miss Martha Barnhart, with her reci- tation “The Origin of the Violets,” and Alice Lowry, who sang, were the stars and favorites of the evening. The collection of the day, which is always for educational purposes, amounted to $35.66. AT THE AcADEMY.—Never in the his- tory of the Bellefonte Academy has it had such a successful or prosperous year as the one just past. The dormitories were full and the work done in all departments was most satisfactory. Indeed it was so satis- factory that be’. the faculty and scholars separated for the summer vacation the teachers were all re-engaged and many of the pupils registered for next term. It has always beena good school and now it is taking on the proportion of a big school for thee are so many scholars that the corps of teachers bas had to be increased. Maurice J. Babb, a graduate of Haverford college, who has been teaching mathematics at Dickinson Seminary in Williamsport for the last four years, has been secured to assist Rev. James P. Hughes, the principal, in the science and mathematical department. Miss Lawrence will have charge of the girls’ department and teach English and modern ianguage. She is Miss Julia Reed’s successor and in succeeding that excellent teacher had quite a difficult position to fill. Miss Edith B. Wertz has been retained as head of the intermediate school, while the primary department, which has grown and thrived under Miss Overton's capable man- agement until it is one of the successes of the institution, will continue under her care. Prof. James R. Hughes, head master and teacher of classics, with Mrs. Hughes and Miss Overton are now out camping on the Allegheny mountains eight miles from Beech Creek with a party of their students. They went Monday to stay ten days or two weeks. With them are Joe and Helen White, Mary Crider, Helen and Roxy Min- gle, Jennie Harper and Dick Quigley and Will Merry, of Beech Creek. Mr. James will not spend the summer at Cape May this season, as he he has been doing for some years, but is going up into the north- western part of the State to spend his vaca- tion which began on Monday. se———— THE CoMING CIrRcUS.—The Rhoda Roy- al show, that is billed for this place, comes well and strongly endorsed by the press throughout the country and the many peo- ple who have witnessed its performances. This is nothing strange, however, when the sterling merits of its attractions and the ex- perience of its executive staff is considered. The show has made a reputation for itself it is justly proud of, and this reputation has only been secured by fulfilling every promise made, dealing squarely with its patrons and furnishing a high class exhibi- tion. The array of talent with this aggre- gation places it among the foremost of the many railroad shows of the season, and everywhere a hearty welcome has been ac- corded it. One disagreeable element is conspicuous in its absence — that. the rougher elements. The attachees of the show have received unlimited praise for their politeness and courteous treatment of patrons. Every town or city in which this amusement enterprise has been seen this season, its spacious tents have been filled by the best of the amusement loving pub- lic. The features are certainly calculated to please and this fact, coupled with the carefully considered reputation of the show in general, has established for it a record that cannot fail to recommend it to all. Manager I. V. Strebig says: ‘‘The great Rhoda Royal show intend to win for it- self a reputation solely on its merits. We make no promises we do not fulfill; adver- tise nothing we do not show; and give a clean, pure show, at which not the least of- fense can be taken. We want the public to tell us of any shortcoming and we will make them our critics. Our employees must be courteous and alway study the in- terests of the people and our own.” rrr QQ ree DIED AT HUBLERSBURG.—Stewart Lee Bergstresser, of Smethport, McKean county, died at the home of his brother, Edward L.

Y., which was one of the first charitable organiza- tions to recognize the importance of medical help in the missionary cause and establish & hospital. It is out side the city walls just two miles from the west gate but an idea of its work and the dense population can be conceived when Dr. Reifsnyder states that they have had as many as 40,000 dispensary patients in one year.
