It is needless to remark that they hac a good time at Hecla park on Wednesday. There is a rumor abroad that Penn’s Cave bas been sold to a syndicate of Brook- lyn capitalists, but it sounds like the same old story that has been going the rounds for years. In fact, it is, for there is noth- ing in the story. ——Mike Hasel is announcing the ar- rival of ‘‘a young Democrat’’ out at his home on Spring creek and he is just about as happy over it as if the blessed little mite were numerous enough to elect Bryan and the whole Democratic ticket. ——Mirs.

The Catholics had quite a large turnout and a very enjoyable time, especially over the cake walking exhibition given by Misses Annie Fox and Betty Heinle. ——Wahile at Coburn recently to give suggestions as to laying of a course of water pipes from a mountain reservoir to that town, Supt. Samuel Rine, of the Bellefonte water works, expressed himself as highly pleased with the outlook for an abundant and inexpensive water supply. Sup’t.

Gepbart met with an unfortunate accident at his home on North Allegheny street, Wednesday morning, that is likely to add serious complications to the long illness he “has been suffering. While walking about on the second floor, shortly after he had gotten up, he tripped and fell and in doing so fractured the bone of his left arm near the shoulder. While the shock was a very serious one to a man in Mr. Gephart’s condition he has with- stood it as well as could be expected. BurGLARS Loor THE CENTRE HALL PosT-OFFICE.—A wrecked safe, general disorder of the interior and all money gone was the spectacle that greeted postmaster Boal, when he opened the post-office at Centre Hall yesterday morning, after he had been warned by F. M. Crawford that a robbery had evidently taken place. There had been a burglary and the only clue to its perpetrators was the recollection of two suspicious acting men who were about the town all day oz Wednesday. The office occupies part of the Reesman tinshop, on Main street, right in the close- ly built portion of the town. The burg- lars effected an entrance by cutting out one of the window lights in the upper part of the door. Then, with a screw driver, they removed a Yale lock and were inside. With tools stolen from Rearick’s foundry they drilled the safe, which was only a fire proof one, a # inch hole being drilled just to the left of the lock. Enough of a charge was put in to blow the door off. The report was heard by Frank Crawford, an employee of the Potter & Hoy hardware store in this place, who was at his home in Centre Hall that night, but it was’nt loud enough to more than awaken him, so he did’nt get up to make an investigation. He fixes the time as about 2 o’clock. Postmaster Boal states that the burglars carried off about $150.00 in stamps and a considerable sum of money, which belong- ed to private parties who had taken it there for safe keeping. Among them being Miss Flora Love, $20, and the Presby- terian church, $25. The exact amount has not been made public. There were some notes and other valuable papers in the safe which were carried into the back room and looked over, but were not taken. The mails were also undisturbed. It is the general impression that the two suspicious looking characters seen about town all day Wednesday are the guilty parties. In fact one of them spent some time in the foundry, from which a drill, sledge and other tools were taken to be used in cracking the safe. —_——e FoR THE BUsINEss MENS Prcxic.—For the Business Men’s picnic, which is to be held at Hecla park next Thursday, August 30th,—if it doesn’t rain—arrangements are about completed. In the first place, if it rains Thursday you are all to remember that the picnic will be held next day, Friday. The Central R. R. of Pa. people bave guaranteed that they will have forty pas- senger coaches on hand and that no freights will be run over the road that day, so it is reasonable to suppose that all the people will be able to get there and get away again on something near the schedule time. There are indications that there will be an unusually large turnout from Williams- port, a fair representation from Lock Hav- en and, while Bellefonte has had almost a surfeit of gala events this season, it is like- ly she will send her usual large contingent. According to the report of the committee which met at the Fallon house in Lock Haven, on Monday afternoon, the amuse- ments this year will be entirely new. With this end in view they have secured a theatrical and vaudeville company from Williamsport. The actors ‘will give Irish and musical specialties, using the pavilion in the east park for a stage. The well known Laport sisters will be among the actors. The performance will continue two hours in the afternoon. It was also decided that ex-Governor Hastings shall deliver the principal ad- dress. An orchestra of ten pieces and the Good Templar band, of Lock Haven, will furnish music. A hase hall game between clubs of Lock Haven and Bellefonte will also be played. — Orr THE BELLEFONTE FURNACE WILL RE- SUME AS SOON AS REPAIRS ARE COMPLET- ED.—It will be cheering news to this com- munity to know that the big plant of the Bellefonte Furnace Co. will be put in blast again immediately upon the completion of the extensive repairs now in progress out there. It bad been the impression that the fur- nace was only being put in condition to start as soon as the iron market would look up a little, but the WATCHMAN is authorized to state that the plant will be put in operation probably by September 15th and not later that Oct. 1st. On Monday a large ,gang of extra brick layers arrived from Pittsburg to help on the work of relining the stack and the final repairs are being rushed along as fast as possible. As soon as they are completed the furnace will start. —— A GENERAL ELECTRIC LIGHTING AND TROLLEY LINE CORPORATION CHARTER. —Recently there was granted at the State Department in Harrisburg a charter to the Bellefonte Electric Co. which includes as its incorporators John C. Miller, 8S. D. Gettig, E. L. Hoy, C. M. Bowerand Ellis L. Orvis. The dreams of the company are to harness one of the many water powers in this sec- tion of the county and generate electricity, which is to be supplied at a’ very low cost for lighting the surrounding villages, at the same time furnishing motive power for a network of trolley lines that is to connect them all in one system. ——— ee PRAISE FOR THE COLEVILLE BAND.— The Coleville band, which has been en- gaged by the local fire department to re- ceive the visiting firemen and escort them to the places assigned them, came over from Bellefonte last evening and discoursed sweet music on our streets. To-day they are busily engaged in making the visitors feel that they are “welcome to the burg. They are a jolly set of fellows, and what's of more value in a musician they can play rattling good music.—Wednesday’s Phil- ipsburg Journal. volts. ——The Juniata valley camp-meeting at Newton Hamilton closes to-day. th en ——The Atlantic Refining Co. will prob- ably erect an oil supply tank at State Cel- lege; ——An incipient ; fire slightly damaged E.

Won’t the rest of you readers, who are a little in arrears, come to the rescue ? — ——Baurglars forced their way into the Atlantic Refining Co’s office in Philips- burg, early Saturday morning, and blew open the safe with such force as to smash in the wall of the opposite side of the room. oe —— ——While running away from a blast on Friday afternoon an Italian employe in the Salona quarries was struck on the leg by a flying rock. It cut his leg badly and broke the bone. He was taken to the Lock Haven hospital. ~——The Reformed church at Aaronsburg has come in possession of the Elias Zeller property at Loganton. It belonged to Mrs. Zeller, who willed it to the church after her nearest of kin died,and as they are all gone now the church will obtain possession of the legacy, which is quite a valuable prop- erty. —— Edward Stump recently bought the Thomas Edwards property, near Aarons- burg, tor $1,400. He also bought the old David Acker home in that village. He paid $500 for it and will make it his babi- tation ere long. Among the real estate deals lately carried into effect in that lo- cality was the sale of Mrs. Sara Shafer’s house and lot, on Main street, to Mrs. Car- oline Malze for $525. SpE The Chester DeVonde Co., made many friends during their rehearsals and opening here last season who will be glad to know of their return next week for a five night’s engagement at Garman’s. They will open on Monday evening and con- tinue until Saturday. There will be no performance on Saturday, because the com- pany will have to leave here that after- noon in order to reach Chicago in time to open there the week following. tre te WA ——Prof. Geo. W. Twitmire, formerly of this place, who has been teaching so suc- cessfully at Bethlehem, Pa., for some time, has just been unanimously elected super- indent of the public schools of Wilming- ton, Del., and has already begun the organi- zation of his work in that city. Prof. Twitmire is to be congratulated on his re- markable success as an educator and on his good fortune in having it recognized in such substantial manner as this new posi- tion does. atm ——Samuel B. Quiggle, a son of George B. Quiggle, formerly of Salona, was elec- trocuted in the Edgar Thompson steel works at Braddock on Monday night. He was an electrician and was on the top of a twenty foot ladder fixing an arc light when he suddenly received a current of 4,000 It drew him from the ladder and for a moment he hung suspended on the powerful, death-dealing fluid,then he drop- ped to the ground and died in the emer- gency hospital two hours latter. ae rene ——A special meeting of the Centennial Commission was held in the office of the president, Col. W. F. Reeder, on Friday evening, and the treasurer, Jno. M. Shugert, made his report. It showed that to pay every bill in full would necessitate the raising of $75 more; a surprisingly small deficit when the small amount of money originally raised and the splendid demonstration made with it are consider ed. The fact that the Commission is only $75 short is a forcible attest to the judg- ment and economy of the men who had the celebration in charge. ht ——1In another column of this issue will be found the advertisement of the Belle- fonte Real Estate and Loan Co., an or- ganization lately brought into the busi- ness arena by John C. Miller and Edmund Blanchard Esq. Its purpose is to buy and sell real estate and negotiate loans on secur- ity. The fact that Messrs Miller and Blanchard have combined in such a business guarantees to those! ‘patronizing it a careful and judicious treatment of all transactions. They are gentlemen of high integrity and can be relied upon as safe in their counsels and conservative in their estimates of value. They have opened an office at 3, east High street, where you will always receive cour- teous attention to the business you have to give them. considerable talk in anticipation of the re- vival of agricultural fairs for Centre coun- ty, after a lapse of nineteen years. The splendid new grounds of the Centre Coun- ty Agricultural Exhibiting Company, near Bellefonte, with their charming location, well appointed buildings and half mile track, that was scarcely completed before it had registered a mile in the exceptional time of 2.17, are all present reminders that the fair will be a certainty and that all this talk about thousands of people, big pumpkins, tall corn, faney needle work and jellies, fat chickens and sleek cattle will not prove an idle day dream. Already the advance announcements are out. The fair will be held on October 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th. On the three latter days there will be races for purses aggregating $2,500 in cash. On Wednes- day three events will be contested : 2:40, and 2:21 trot and pace and a running race. On Thursday there will be trots and paces for horses in the 1:35, 2:27, 2:18 and 3:00 class and on Friday there will bea 2:30 class, a running race and the grand free for all for the $400 prize. - These are only the racing features. In addition to them there will be innumerable other amusements,so that from the moment the gates first open until they are closed on the evening of the last day it will be one round of interest and pleasure such as is not expected by those who do not know the carefully laid plans of the manage- ment. In this connection we are led to some reminiscences of the days of the old Centre County Agricultural Society which was finally dragged down hy its long list of life-member-dead-heads in October, 1881. The Society is still.in existence, but only wakens up once a year to elect delegates to elect trustees to The Penna. State College. The last fair held under the auspices of the Society was on October 5th, 6th, and 7th. It was on the grounds now occupied by the Bellefonte Furnace Co’s. plant and notith- standing the fact that the people were fully aware that the fair was on its last legs and not worth visiting there were thousands in attendance; more than enough to show that the proper incentive would have saved the old fair, even to this day. In the exhibits Alexander Bros. had a few wagons, Gordon & Landis showed some grain drills and reapers, Scott Tate had a collection of fine chickens and Col. Wil-' liam Shortlidge apologized for a poor show- ing in the fancy department. Bunnell & Aikens had a musical exhibit and Hon. L. A. Mackey made an address. There were a few pigsand cattle and other things, but, according to report, there was manifest evidence of the dry rot. In the line of amusements report has it that there were no contestants for the glass ball shooting, the archery contest, the farmer’s trot and the ladies’ and gentlemen’s riding exhihi- tions. The only events in that line being the races. In the 2:50 class Jeff Middagh, of Mifflintown, drove his ‘‘Woodlawn’’; C. Wooden, of Tyrone, ‘‘Bell’”’; Leon King, of Williamsport, ‘‘John King”; Robert Peck, of Lock Haven, ‘‘Little Major’’; and Jacob Cook, of Howard, “Bill”. ‘‘John King” won, the best time being 2:50. The purse was $50. : In the county race John Ballou’s ‘‘Bay Kate’’ beat Rush Larimer’s ‘Brown Dick” in 3:10 and 3:24 and won the maunificent prize of $10. The crowd in attendance was estimated at 6,000 people. On Friday there was quite as large a crowd present and Jeff Middagh’s ‘‘Mis- hap’ won the 2:30 class race in 2:44}. Johu Ballon’s ‘‘Bay Kate’’ was beaten that day by a gray horse from Tyrone, in an im- promptu race, and a fellow by the name of A. Pullen walked a third of a mile in 2:10 for $5, beating Charles Schmidt and Wil- liam Leary. That was the end of the old fair and though it died in a blaze of glory, so far as attendance was concerned, it has taken nineteen years for its revival. Let it be project, not the means or manner of running it, for the men at the head of the new en- terprise are young and aggressive and they offer more in one of their racing prizes than was contested for in all the events in the days of '81. — Con. SPANGLER DROPPED His ‘‘WaAD"’ oN SUNDAY.—While on his way to Centre Hall on Sunday morning Col. J. L. Spangler lost a wallet containing $30 or $40 in cash, several checks for large a- mounts and some railroad mileage. He recovered it a few hours later, but by that time the money had been transferred from his wallet to some one else's. The Colonel and Mrs. Spangler were driving along the pike. At the first toll gate south of this place he took out his pocket book to pay the toll; replacing if, as he thought, in his pocket. When they reached the gate above Pleasant Gap he reached for it again, but fonnd it missing. After a search of all his pockets and the buggy failed to reveal it they turned about and started to drive back over the road, looking carefully on all sides for it. It was nowhere to be seen, so the Colo- nel came on in to Bellefonte and procured another horse and with George Beezer started over the road again. This trip they made inquir, x of every one they met, but without avail. They arrived at the second toll gate and were on their wa back, when Mr. Beezer spied the wallet ly- ing in the road about ‘opposite the home of | the late county commissioner M. F. Rid- dle, in Pleasant Gap. Of course it didn't take long to recover it but the moment it was opened Colonel Spangler discovered that it had been in the hands of some one else, for all the money was gone. The checks and mileage were left, however, as the thief was a enough to know that they might prove the trap in which he would be caught. THE CoMING FAIR.—Already there is nnderstood that the revival is only of the | News Purely Personal. —Mr. and Mrs. Edward Richard returned from a two weeks stay at Atlantic City on Saturday evening. —Mrs. A.

Gibson, of Pine Grove Mills, were in town on Monday on business relative to the estate of the late Jno. B. Mitchell Esq. —Mrs. John P. Harris Jr., of north Thomas street, is away on a visit of three weeks with friends in Philadelphia, Wilmington, Del., and her parent's home at Parkersburg, W. Va. —Mr. and Mrs. Themas Hill, with their chil- dren, who had been here for some time visiting Mrs. Hill's mother, Mrs. F. C. Richard, of east Linn street, left for their home in Philadelphia on Monday afternoon. —Mr. J. R. Young, representing the Sentinel, Barnesboro's sprightly publication, was in town over Sunday, the guest of W. H. Taylor. Mr. Young reports the newspaper business as being very good up in the new coal metropolis. —Mrs. John Lauth, who spent the past winter in Mexico where Mr. Lauth is developing some mining properties, but has been at her old home below Howard since May, was in town Wed- nesday doing a little shopping and making some calls. —Mr. and Mrs. J. Kennedy Johnston, with their children, returned from a visit to the for. mer's parents at Mt. Eagle on Tuesday evening. Mr. Johnson was off on a trip to the country for his health. Tt is slightly improved but it is like- ly he will have to give up office work for several months. —Wallace Reeder was an arrival in town on Wednesday. He had just returned from his trip abroad with the Haverford College cricket club of which he is a member. He landed on Tuesday and will spend the remainder of his vacation with his parents, Col. and Mrs. W. F. Reeder in this place. —Mr. and Mrs. James Lane and Miss Mary Thomas departed, Monday morning, for At- lantic City, where they will spend the balance of the summer season before taking up their winter residence in Philadelphia. Yesterday morning Misses Grace Mitchell and Bertha Shaffner left to join them at the shore. The entire party will be at the Kenilworth Inn. —Col. D. S. Dunham, the veteran journalist of Howard, bade his friends in this section farewell, on Monday, and started for Passadena, Cal, where he hopes to find the climate more conge- nial and comforting in his declining years. His only daughter, Mrs. Grace Dutton, has been lec- turing in the Chautauqua courses in California for several years and makes her home at Passa- dena. We earnestly hope that the Colonel will find new vigor of mind and body out there and return to his friends in this section. Mrs. David Behrer, of Benore, was in town doing some shopping on Monday and honored this office with a call. Of course she was too polite to say so, but our plaintive appeal for funds in last week’s issue must have led her to believe that the sheriff was about to gobble up the entire establishment, for she came to the rescue so handsomely. Mrs, Behrer and her ex- cellent husband are among our oldest friends in Buffalo-run valley and we were very sorry thata threatening rain and her anxiety to start home before it began prevented a longer call. —Col. James Milliken, of New York, is register- ed at the Bush house, where he expects to be for some time, as he is here on his regular summer visit. The Colonel looks exceptionally vigorous and his friends are very much gratified 1n noting the improved condition of his health over that of a year ago. He has just returned from a season at the Green Briar White Sulphur Springs which he concluded with a few days at Bedford, just for “auld lang syne.” When seen by a Warcumax representative Wednesday morning he wasina delightfully reminiscent humor and told some of the incidents of his extensive travels abroad and at home which have never been made public in any of the lectures he has delivered. Col. Milliken’s experiences and acquaintances are probably as varied and extensive as are those of any man living to-day. When itis remembered that he left Bellefonte on hig first business ven- ture with $5. 85 in his pocket his great successes since are a flattering testimonial to his keen business foresight and careful judgment. His first venture was as a salesman for the iron from the old Valentine furnace here. In those days the iron was shipped by canal to Williamsport, thence to Ralston over a primitive railroad line. From that place it was hauled by wagons to Elmira and then shipped by water to Rochester, where it was sold for $120 per ton. —Mr. Alexander Shannon, well known to many of the older readers of the WarchMAN as a former resident of the county and to nearly ever one in Penns valley, where he formerly resided and still has hosts of relatives and friends, was back from his western home last week greeting acquain- tances of his earlier days and visiting scenes once familiar to him. Nineteen years ago Mr. Shannon left Centre Hall with little else than a promising family, good health and a determination to earn himself a home. If you would see him now and the photograph of his big farm and the spacious and elegant buildings with their pretty surround- ings and home comforts, you would know that he has succeeded. He tried it first, in Iowa, but found “‘hard sledding.” He then went to North- ern Kansas, Smith county—and purchased a quarter section of land. He lived as most west- ern farmers do at first, in a two-room house, with no comforts or no conveniences; hail storms destroyed his crops, grasshoppers and other plagues came to discourage him, but he worked away determined to have a house, and luck stuck to him until to-day he is the owner of a number of quarter sections of land, a farm from which he ships two or three car loads of hogs yearly, and home comforts that are not excelled by the most. prosperous farmers in this county, Mr. Shannon is not boasting about what he has «done, but he is contented and thinks he has gotten along a little better than if he had not gone West: This may be 80. We have an idea, however, that his per- severance, industry and business methods would prosper anywhere; and that Kansas, with her cyclones and hot winds, her ‘drougths and grasshoppers,even if it has a richer soil and more of it, is not a whit better place for the honest-go- ahead man who is willing to work and take eare of what he works for than Pennsylvania is.

[tis her first visit to that town in twenty years. —Prothonotary M. I. Gardner and Ellis L. Orvis Esq., went to Philadelphia Wednesday evening, to be gone until to-day. Their mission is purely one of business. —Mrs. John DD. Seravendyke, of Baltimore, who has been in Ebensburg most of the summer visiting friends, is now a guest at the Shoemaker home north of town. —Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Meyer and Dr. and Mrs. J. E.

Hoshour, for nine years pas- tor of the Lutheran church in this place, previous to the beginning of his three years pastorate at Hellam, Pa., has just accepted a call to the Beth- any church in Philadelphia. —Ass’t. Surg. Frederick Dale, U. 8S. A, who was recently ordered to report to San Francisco for further orders, sailed on the Garlic, last Tues- day, for the Philippines. Lieut. Dale is the eldest son of Dr. J. Y. Dale, of Lemont. —Miss De Velasco, who is one of the actively interested members of the New York City chap- ter, Daughters of the American Revolution, the star chapter of the Union,and its historical work, is enjoying her annual visit at the Bush house. —Rob’t. H. Reed, of Benore, was in town on Friday and as he didn’t have any complaint to make about that rheumatic——something that caused him to suspend most of his labor some time ago, we took it for granted that he is well again. —Mrs. Edward Tyson, of Philipsburg, with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. W. E. Tyson, of Vail, spent a few hours in Bellefonte on Saturday and were guests at the Gerberich home on north Thomas street. . Mrs. Tyson always finds her time very much taken up when she honors her old home here with a visit because there are so many friends anxious to have part of it. Her mission on Saturday, however, was more to look after - their farm near Pleasant Gap than anything else. —J. 8. Condo. of Jacksonville, was in town on Monday; having taken advantage of a little lull in his work to run up here to attend to some busi- ness and part of the latter was to make us owe Wm. Deitz a whole year’s work. Mr. Condo is the owner of a fine Altman--Taylor threshing out- fit and he is assisted in running it by Mr. Deitz and Albert Orr. They form a trio of threshermen who are hard to beat and when they set up at a barn it means that a new record is to be made in the amount of grain cleaned up in a day. —Col. J. 8. McCargar and Wm. B. Rankin started on what will doubtless be a very delight- tal trip on Wednesday evening. They went to Pittsburg, which was the rendezvous of twenty- four representatives of the Equitable Life As- surance Association who will start on the “Au- gust Outing” which their company pays for for the men who do a certain amount of business for it. They will visit Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Wash- ington, New York and take a trip up the Hudson; returning to Pittsburg in ten days or two weeks. From the time they leave home until they return all the expenses are borne by the company and all the agents have to do is have a good time. If the others are anything like the Bellefonte con- tingent they'll have all the fun that’s going. ———— Qt ——As an evidence that business is brisk at the Brush valley foundry we need but state that proprietor Gramley has lately sold a thirty horse-power boiler and engine to Theodore Hosterman, of Fiedler, for use in his saw mill and a twenty-five horse- power engine and separator to Elmer Wolf, of Green Burr, Clinton Co. ——The new store building which J.
