In accordance with our regular cusiom there will be no issue of the WATCHMAN next week. It will be our mid-summer, Fourth of July, holiday and all hands will take a rest. During the suspension some improvements will be made in the press rooms of the office, which, it is hoped, will relieve us from the trouble we have expe- rienced with floods in the past. The laying off at Christmas and Fourth of July by some country printers is said to be an old fogy idea, but the WATCHMAN is not ashamed to be called an old fogy in this direction, since it contributes so much to the pleasure of its employees, who work so faithfully at all other times. is pel ——The Philipsburg ministers have taken action against Sunday funerals. ——The rains on Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning were God-sends to this community. ——The C.

Do not put it off until the last moment, but be prepared for the event. L. C. Rearick, of Benner township, received a magnificent St. Bernard pup on Saturday. It was a present from his son Lloyd, who is living at Niagara Falls, N. Y., is only seven months old and after he- ing boxed up for nearly three days weighed 951bs. The pup has long, silky hair, white and yellow in color, with a face that bears every mark of a thoroughbred. He at- tracted much attention while at the Amer- ican express office. ——Workmen in the quarries of the Bellefonte Lime Co. at Salona last week discovered a cave that is quite extensive. After a blast had been put off and the dirt cleared away an opening in the wall of rock was discovered. James Caldwell and Clair Kessinger crawled into it to explore the cavern. After going through the small aperture for quite a distance their path suddenly ended in a large chamber, the floor of which was forty feet below them. Upon descending to it they discovered a space about 300 ft. long, with numerous openings It was delightfully cool, the air pure and a spring of cold water was found. Y ——On Friday evening James Derr Jr., the fifteen year old son of auctioneer James Derr, was having fun with exploding lime bottles that finally resulted very disastrous- ly for him. He bad put some lime in a bottle, filled it up with water, drove the eork well in and was waiting for the ex- plosion that was certain to follow had not the cork’ blown out. As it did so the lime water flew into the hoy’s face and will probably cost him his eye sight. ‘Dr. John Sebring was called immediately and ren- dered all possible assistance, but the injury to the sight proved very severe and up to yesterday it could not be told whether he will lose his sight or not. THE BELLEFONTE FURNACE GOEs OUT OF BLAST.—On Monday another industry went out of operation, laying an army of employees off for an indefinite time. It was the Bellefonte furnace and its suspension was probably more far reaching in its effect than would be that of any other of our numerous industries. Fortu- nately the present indications are that the plant will not be idle more than six weeks, in any event not later than the first of Sep- tember. : The furnace was blown out because it was working badly and the high fuel con- sumption in proportion to the amount of iron run made further operations under such conditions certain to be done at a loss. It was decided to ‘‘blow out’’ at once, rather than go backward, and make such repairs as will remedy the inefficiency of the furnace. It will be relined and numerous improve- ments will be made. While the actual capacity of contents of the furnace in cubic feet wiil be reduced the changes are de- signed to increase the output of iron from it with a far less fuel consumption. Under such conditions the furnace can resume and manufacture at a profit for a very cheap market. The contracts for all the changes have been let and the work will be pushed steadily forward to completion. As many of the old men as possible will be employ- ed on the repairs, but there will be a great many who will not be able to get work. The suspension of the Bellefonte furnace means the closing of the mines at Scotia, Red-bank and Mattern’s; a diminution of the force in the Salona stone quarries where the lime stone is procured; a train crew or more less on the Central R. R. of Penna. over which line all the furnace freight is handled; half time for all crews on the Bellefonte Central R. R., because the pines are closed and there is no ore to haul and various other lay offs or half time. The veins of a great industry like the Bellefonte furnace ramify our entire industrial sys- tem and when the life giving blood no longer courses through them the stagna- tion is felt everywhere. With the Empire iron works out of blast indefinitely, the glass works closed for the summer season, the Scale works doubtful of remaining here, the Bellefonte furnace idle for at least six weeks, the farmers of the couity cutting the thinnest and short- est crop of grass they have had for many years and with the grain giving promise of being a greater failure than was last sea- son’s crop the immediate outlook isn’t the rosiest. We are not pessimistic in our view of things. These are the facts, as they con- front the every day observer into the busi- ness situation in Bellefonte today. Happi- ly for us it is probable that the gloom will not last long and we hope that by fall the industrial portion of it will have cleared away. : «de Must ANSWER FOR HIGHWAY ROB- BERY.— Albert Dickson, alias Bert Delige, is in jail here under $5,000 bail, charged with having murderously assaulted and tried to hold up merchant Jobn Hough and his son Thomas at Scotia on Thursday night, June 7th. A full account of the shooting at Hough and his son was published in the WATCH- MAN at the time. It will be remembered that the Houghs had closed their store about 9 o'clock that evening and were pro- ceeding homeward through some red oak brush when the click of a revolver stopped them. Before they could recover there was a shot, then another, and another. One of the bullets struck the boy in the right shoulder, another went through the father’s coat and another flew after them as they fled down the road. While no accusations were made Mr. Hough had his suspicions as to their as- sailant. He asked the county commis- sioners to employ a detective to work up the case, but these officials declined on the ground that it was the duty of the residents of Scotia to make the first effort in that direction. Later Dan Clemson, of Pitts- burg, sent a colored detective on to work on it. On last Friday be became convinced that he had his man and per- suaded Delige, who is an athletic young negro, horn and raised about Scotia, to come to Bellefonte with him. The man became suspicious when the train reached Coleville, however, and slipped away. He ran up over Half-moon hill and was not lceated again until. evening, when he was arrested at the house of some col- ored friends on Logan street. At the hearing, on Tuesday, before justice Keichline several witnesses testified that they bad seen Delige enter the clump of trees shortly before the assault. The detect- ive also produced a revolver secured from the accused man and showed that the bul- let taken from young Hough’s shoulder fit- ted it exactly. This was deemed enough to hold him for court. so the justice fixed the bond at $5,000, which Delige conldn’t get and went to jail. lose. ——The Spring Mills postoffice was entered by burglars on Tuesday night last, anid after ransacking the place and dam- aging the fire proof safe they secured about fifty or sixty cents. Not a stamp was tak- en. They effected an entrance by prying open the front door. After they failed to secure any booty at the postoffice, they visited the shoe emporium of C. A. Krape and introduced themselves by prying open a side door. Mr. Krape says nothing was taken. Of course the robbers escaped. renee (pl eee ——G. R.

He will recover. ——Since the closing of the iron furnaces and the mines at Scotia and Red bank it bas heen easier to get men and teams to work on the new grounds for the Belle- fonte Driving Association and now that place is alive with men and horses. Every effort is being bent to get the track ready for the Centennial. Already its contour can be seen from the grading that has been done up to this time. re ——ALl. Diehl, of Pittsburg, who will be remembered as a resident of Thomas street, this place, and a former employe of R. J. Schad & Bros., plumbers, is so seriously ill that his relatives in this section have been sent for. Since moving to Pittshurg he has been working for the Kelly & Jones Co. On Wednesday morning he was not ex- pected to live over the day. He has pneu- monia. Mr. Diehi’s wife is a daughter of Mr. James Holmes, of State College. woe irs A number of new and ornaméntal flower beds have been made at Hecla park and that resort presents a more attractive appearance than ever from the railroad. With the workingmen fast replazing the last wooden trestle—the one over the canal at Shoemaker’s—with an iron structure; all of the passenger coaches looking spick and span under new varnish and every engine completely overhauled the Central railroad outfit presents an appearance that is scarce: iy rivaled by many of the bigger systems. rT ey ——The Citizen’s Hook and Ladder Co. of Milesburg claims to have first mortgage on Saturday, July 21st. They are going to hold their annual festival on that day and there will be a great time down there. It will bein Bulloek’s hall and the Milesburg fire laddies can be depended upon to make all who patronize them on the 21st as hap- py as can be. They merit the most liberal patronage, as does any volunteer fire or- ganization and the past record of the Citi- zen’s company in Milesburg has been such as to guarantee it as a future blessing. BAP mms een ——A. M. Mott has just completed the erection of a monument in St. John’s Catholic cemetery in this place that. is the largest piece of work there. The monu- ment is of Barre granite, 22ft. high, 6ft. at the base, and is surmounted by a Celtic cross. It was erected for the Tammany estate and is very impressive in its appear- ance. There are five of the family buried in the lot upon the centre of which the monument stands. Marking its outer edges are twenty-two granite posts, 1ft. square and carrying brass railings. There are ten grave makers; making in all a splendid memorial to the Tammany fam- ily. Mr. Mott’s execution of the work has been artistic and it is well worth a walk out to the cemetery to see that we have a marble worker here who is equal to the best. Sle an gain tl THE TrRUusT HAs NOT ABSORBED THE MATcH WoORKs.—For tie past few days a rumor has been afloat on the streets to the effect that the match trust had absorbed the big plant of the Pennsylvania Match Co., in this place. The WATCHMAN has authority for stating that the rumor is alto- gether groundless and that instead of the works lapsing into a state of inactivity, as would probably be the case in event of their falling into the hands of the trust, improved machinery is already being added for the purpose of increasing the capacity. The local owners of the plant are more than satisfied with their enterprise, which is best proven by the fact that they haven’t any stock on hand at all and every exigency is heing worked to meet the great demand for the product Monday ground was broken for th new ware house, that is to be 118ft x 40ft in dimensions, a new sanding attachment is being added to the old press and another new one is being installed and everything looks as if the plant is entirely too prosper- ous to pass into any other hands than its present owners. It is even hoped that arrangements can be effected for the comfort of the employees and the successful operation of the machin- ery, so that there will be no need for the suspension of work during the months of July and August, as is the case in many of the large match factories in the country. Lire CrusHED Our UNDER Toxs | OF BRICK. — Michael Ward and Hugh | Hampton were terribly injured at the Bellefonte furnace shortly before one o'clock yesterday afternoon. Together with a number of other men they were cleaning up under the mantle of the furnace. The bosch had been torn out. and preparations were being made to take out the old lining when about a ton of the brick above them came loose, and, without a moment's warning, buried Ward and Hampton under the weight. As quickly as possible their fellow work- men got them out. Hampton was severe- ly cut about the head and back, hut was conscions. He was carried to his home, where an examination revealed the fact that no bones were broken and reports last night were to the effect that he was resting easier. When they reached Ward he was uncon- scious. Themen at the furnace say they could not detect any breath until after he had been carried to the laboratory and this condition is what gave rise to the first story sent out that he was dead. His condition was such that a careful ex- amination could not he made, but it was evident that his skull was crushed and his leg broken in several places. It seemed best to send him at once to a hospital, so he was put on the 1:42 train and taken to Lock Haven. When he arrived there Le was in bad shape and it was some time before the physicians decided to operate on him. Finally they attempted trephining, but his skull was in such terrible condition that he died while on the operating table. A later examination showed that in addi- tion to having his skull so badly crushed both arms were broken between the elbows and wrists and both legs were broken he- low the knees. The body will be brought to this place this morning and will be takea to his late heme with Mrs. McDonough, on Wager street. Ward was 36 years old and is survived by two little boys, Johnny and Willie, aged 7 and 8 years. His death is a very lamenta- ble one, his wife having died several years ago. oes nila SurciDE NEAR HowA rRD.—The self hanging of William Masdon, a 60 year old farmer, at his home about two miles north east of Howard, early Wednesday morning, was not much of a surprise to the people of that community. He had been in ill health for several years and was so much affected by it that his mind had been erratic for some time. In fact he had often “hreatened to destroy himself, so his wife aud children were con- stantly on the watch to prevent such an attempt. Wednesday morning he arose, as usual, and was making the fire, when Mrs. MMas- don and the childreli went to the barn to milk. Upon their return the father was not to be seer and as the rein from a bridle, that Harry had used the night be- fore and left lying on the porch after re- turning from taking a horse to the field, was gone their worst suspicions were ar- oused at once. After searching all over the place for the father, they found him’hang- ing from a rafter in the garret. It was only about three quarters of an hour from the time he bad heen seen alive, but life was quite extinet and all efforte to resusci- tate him were in vain. When in full physical and mental vigor William Masdon was a man of considerable prominence down there. He was straight forward and honest ‘and was Democratic always. The mother and four children who survive have the sympathy of all who know the circumstances of this sad bereavement, which would not have occurred had illness not shattered the mind of the unfortunate husband and father. Interment will be made this morning. a a gp A DISASTROUS FIRE AT BOALSBURG.— Boalshurg, the metropolis of Harris town- ship, came very near being wiped out by the flames last Tuesday morning. As it is charred sites of six barns, several badly scorched houses and a lot of people not yet fully recovered from the scare is the latest report from that place. The village has no organized fire protec- tion and when the alarm was sounded about 10 o’clock Tuesday morning there was great excitement. The flames were discovered in the mow of the stable on Mrs. C. S. Fisher's lot and were beyond control. Fanned by a brisk breeze and fed t by the flammable contents of the building the fire leaped to the Adam Hosterman stable, across the alley. It was soon ea- veloped, then Lot Kimport’s barn took fire and the flames danced along to the stables on the lots of Miss Anna Cooper, Alex Kuhn and David Zeller. All of them were totally destroyed. Meanwhile Mrs. Fisher's house caught fire, as well as Mrs. Cooper’s and it began to look as if the entire village might be swept away. The people worked valiantly with the means at their command, and were able to save the houses, with but lit- tle damage. Mrs. Fisher had $300 insurance on her stable. It contained some hay and paint- ing materials owned by Wm. Hess, on which there was no insurance. Adam Hosterman had no insurance. His loss was quite beavy in wheat, corn, oats and hay. Lot Kimport had $100 insurance on his barn, but the two buggies, sleigh, hay and grain that burned up in it were unpro- tected. Mrs. Cooper had some insurance on her building, Alex Kuhn carried $150, but David Zeller had let his run out a short time ago. None of the last three lost very much in addition to their buildings. The origin of the fire is thought, by some, to have been caused by boys playing with fire crackers, while others think it was of incendiary origin. News Purely Personal. —Mrs. J. L.

Heims Esq. , the Osceola merchant and coal i] ator, was in town between frains Mon- day morning on his way home from Linden Hall, where he had spent Sunday with his father-in- law, D. H. Hess Esq.

Neubauer came to town on Friday evening and tarried with his friends here until Monday. Though a trifle thinner than when he was running the Brockerhoff house he looked ex- ceeding well and his friends were pleased to learn that he has a pretty nice thing in a large hotel at Charleroi. —Williain Kerstetter, of Pleasant Gap, was in town Wednesday afternoon and, of course, we inferred that he had come in to see the circus, but our surmise was wrong.

She is living with her children in Altoona now and, as she is 80 years old, is of the opinion that this will be her last. visit to her old home here. She seemed so bright and active early Monday morning, how- ever, that we are inclined to think that she will have life and health for many another visit to Bellefonte. She will return to Altoona to-morrow. —James B. Noll, of Milesburg, was in town Tuesday afternoon and seemed to be suffering about as much as the rest of us with the extreme heat. It is a matter of comment in his case, for to see him at work before the white heat of the lime kilns he fires one would think that old Sol’s rays would be like snow flakes falling on him. Such is not the case, however. Mr. Noll says the sun affects him far quicker than it does most other people and just a day or so ago he came near being prostrated while doing a little work in his garden. —Tony Richardson, who holds the responsible positions of assistant manager and treasurer of the Rhoda Royal shows, that exhibited here on Wednesday, is about as clever a gentleman as we have ever known to be connected with an amuse- ment enterprise. He probably gets his good looks, good nature and good business tact from an early experience as a newspaper man in Cleveland. Cleveland was too small for Tony, however, and he moved to Ashtibula, where the citizens rose up and made him mayor of the city, In addition, he is an Elk and a 32nd degree Mason, and as he goes traveling over the country his fame has preceded him so that he seems like an old acquaintance when he arrives.

In a series of letters on Colorado, published some time ago in the WATCHMAN, the magnificent scenery about the place and the gorgeous colorings of nature, as well as the splendors of the mountain climb to the picturesque mining camp at Ward were described, so 4 that those who read it are aware of the pleasant places in which Mr. Geihart’s work is being done this summer. ——James Cornelly’s application for a pardon was refused by the Board of Par- dons on Wednesday.
