PROF. CoLE’S IDEA OF COMING WEATH-
ER. — Prof. Coles in Storms and Signs
makes the following predictions for Janu-
ary : :
“All of the destructive storms that oc-
curred last month came upon the very days
that we had the danger signals displayed
on our Storm and Signal calendar. Dur-
ing the current month the regular storm
periods will occur between the 1st and 8th,
the 11th and 15th and the 18th and 25th ;
and the reactionary storm periods between
the 8th and ‘11th, the 15th. and 18th and
the 25th and 31st. The new moon will
occur on the 20th, and the planets will then
be in position to cause high gales and de-
structive showers in. many parts of the
country, just before, on and after that
date. Hurricanes will continue to sweep
tae seas, and the Great Lakes. Watch out
for a sweeping storm that will come upon
us without any warning from the weather
bureau. While blizzards are raging in all
their fury in the Western and Northern
States, the Eastern and Middle States will
be enjoying sunshine and flowers; and
while the wild winds and blizzards are
raging in the Eastern States, the Western
States will undoubtedly see strange appear-
ing electrical storms with thunder vibra-
tion accompaniment.

Tasseyville and started out to cut wood,
when after making a few. strokes his ax
caught in a limb, causing it to slip and
strike him on the foot, nearly severing the
big toe and the one next to it. Dr. Lee
fixed up the wound and the unfortunate
man is doing as well as could be expected.

on Wednesday morning by being trampled

——Harry Grove, the nineteen year old
son of Wm. Grove, of Shiloh, was badly
hurt last Friday in a peculiar way. He
was repairing a stall in William Zettle's
stable, when a horse reared up and knock-
ed him down: remaining standing ' on the
boy’s head until it was removed by force.
He was unconscious for several hours after
the accident, but Dr. Dale was quickly

—— Between sixty and seventy. guests
were present to witness the wedding of
Miss Emma J. Hockman to Mr. Witmer
B. Grove, of Spring Mills, which was cele-
brated at the bride’s home near Mingoville
on the 25th ult. Mrs. Grove is a daughter
of Mr. Mrs. Peter Hockman and is said to
be a very charming young woman. Rev.
H. I. Crow performed the ceremony,
which was followed by a reception and
splendid dinner.
——The Petriken memorial fund had a
New Year’s gift of $245.35 given it with
the proviso that it be used for purchasing
books: for the library which it is hoped is
to be built in connection with the hall.
The money was a fund started several
years ago for a library by a couple of the
young people of the town. To the project
Col. Jawes Milliken, of New York, con-
tributed one hundred dollars and the bal-
ance was made by the Dramatic Club at
their entertainment ‘The Wedding March’’
and Mrs. M. D. Burnet’s character party.
——The First National bank of Philips-
burg, of which our former townsman F.
K. Lukenbach is now cashier, has sent out

condition at the closing hour on Dec 13th.
At that time they had $653,924.94 on de-
posit and were carrying a reserve of $259,-
841.75. The First National of Philips-
burg is certainly a very strong institution
for a town of Philipsburg’s size and with
such men as Wm. P. Duncan, Geo. W. Mec-
Gaffey and F. XK. Lukenbhach directing it
who can say that it is not safely guided.

——The New Year’s ball of the Logans
was a greater success than usual. There
was a larger crowd present than has been
the case for a number of years, better mus-
ic and a better time for all. The whole
affair reflected much credit on the commit-
tee in charge Messrs Shields, Archey, Mor-
rison, Cassidy and Waite, who are grateful
for all favors received and want to extend
particular thanks to Col. W. F. Reynolds
and Jos. IL. Montgomery for the ‘use of
horses, to Capt. Taylor, and to Mr. G. R.
Spigelmyer for the famous Racket elephant.

——The coming of the farce comedy,
“The Air Ship,’’ to Garman’s on Tuesday
night, Jan. Sth, will reveal an entirely
new entertainment prepared upon original
lines and filled to the brim with attractive
features and novel ideas. The company
presenting the piece numbers some twenty
people. “The Air Ship’’ is a musical farce,
embracing many of the special features of
burlesque, extravagance and spectacle, and
it is promised that the production will far-
nish a distinct surprise in the richness of
its scenic and costume embellishments, a
lavish outlay having been made to surpass |
in these respects any similar productions of
recent years.

——The performance of the amateur
minstrels, at Garman’s, Tuesday night, at-
house of the season. While the boys were,
for the most part, troubled with bad colds
the musical numbers were very pleasing
and proved a delightful prelude to the sev-
eral cleverspecialties in the olio. Perhaps
the most artistic numbers in the opening
were the overture and ‘‘Where is My Boy
To-night’” which was sung by Mr. Edward
Fleming with splendid effect. The
Forgerines, Messrs Rine, Peters, Rice,
Howard and Freddie Gregg, proved a revela-
tion to \anst people who had expected lit
tle from hat number. As acrobats the
boys caught the house and the buck and
wing dancing of Bobby Green earned the
encore it received, while Billy Rine’s jig
dancing proved more popular than ever.
Fred Smith as Prof. Pigginfront, with his
trained elephant, hear and frog, was a
howling success, as was also Mr, R. A.
Beck’s vocal, clarinet and violin solos.
and on Tuesday night his triumph was
most complete. Taken as a whole the
show was pleasing and, all things consider-
dancing, comes to Garman’s.
So
ever given by the local amateurs.
Minnie E. Gammo, of Buffalo Ran, and J.
Andrew Gettig, formerly of Linden Hall,
but now of Braddock, was solemnized on
Wednesday the 26th ult., at 4 o’clock at
the United Brethern parsonage on south
Thomas street. Their engagement had
been announced and the time of the wed-
ding decided upon some time ago but Mrs.
Gummo’s health did not warrant any great
festivities at home, so they came here to
have the ceremony performed.
Rev. T. W. Perks officiated. The bride
was accompanied by her sister, Mise Kate
Gummo, as maid of honor and the groom’s
brother, Samuel D. Gettig, of this place,
acted as best man. The young people de-
parted on the 4:44 train for a short wed-
ding journey, after which they will go to
housekeeping at Braddock. The bride is
the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Gummo, of Waddles, and is a
most excellent and capable young woman.
Mr. Gettig is energetic, industrions and
bent on making generous provision for a
comfortable home. He is now employed
as carpenter with the Braddock Traction
company.
