He wasarrested by detective Joe Rightnour in Philipshurg a few days later. | nounced that he had been EE A DISASTROUS FIRE AT Sxow SHOE— The most expensive fire in the history of the town of Snow Shoe occurred there on Tuesday night, when the immense whole- sale and retail establishment of T. B. Buddinger went up in flames. ' Not since June 10th, 1883, when the same stand, then occupied hy William Grauner & Co., was wiped out and $20,000 insurance paid over, has Snow Shoe teen anything near like the big blaze of Tues- day night. Buddinger’s store stood near the P. R. R. depot. It was a large two story frame structure valued at about $6,000 and in it ‘was located’ the general mier- chandise stock of T. B. Buddinger. His store was onc of the largest in the county, ‘as will be seen from the statement that the last inventory showed $62,000 worth of stock on hand. Other occupants of the building were John Kelly, barber; the Commercial telephone exchange, Kelly Bros’ coal office and the postoffice. “The fire was undoubtedly caused by an over-heated furnace or a defective flue. During the day time, about noon on Tues- day, an incipient blaze was discovered near a cold air pipe on ‘one of the three furnaces that were in the cellar of the building, but it was put out before serious damage had been done. : Between eleven and twelve o’clock that night Miss Lizzie Kelly noticed a light at the store building from her room in ‘the Mountain house, across the street, but thinking it was someone with a lantern paid no attention to it. A little later Harry Gansallus and a man named Burns discovered the fire and notified Arthur Bud- dinger, who with a number of men follow- ing, ran to the store. The front doors were broken in and every effort made to save the property, but the flames had eaten their way between the plastering and sheeting in such a way that they could not be reach- ed and it was only a few moments until the whole building was a seething, hissing, swirling sea of flames. Very little of the coutents of the store were saved. In fact the only occupant of the building who did get anything out was the barber and most of his furniture was saved. Buddinger’s loss on building and stock is probably $70,000 with estimated in- surance of a little over half that amount. Mr. Buddinger could not be reached by phone yesterday and the clerks in the temporary store he has fitted up were not prepared to make a statement. Postmaster James Yarnell lost every- thing in the postoffice, even down to the mail key and stamp canceller. The Commercial telephone exchange loss of $500 is without insurance. The P. R. R. railroad station was on fire several times during the conflagration. ee We HAVE AN Inka, —Now. don't get the laugh on us right away by thinking it is strange that we should have an idea, be- cause we'll acknowledge at once that it isn’t altogether our own. Joseph Gilliland, of Lock Haven, Karth- ause and Delaware, started it formulating, in the little bit of gray matter we have been able to preserve out of all these years of wear and tear, when he wrote as fol- lows : “This being ground hog day I send you my check for one dollar for renewal of my subscription to your valuable paper, ete.” Now whether Mr. Gilliland meant anything personal by alluding to that par- ticular day or whether he had merely al- lnded to it asa reminder that in these sausage times every day is a ground hog day we don’t know; but here is the idea. Next Thursday will be St. Valentine's day and do you know it would be a great joke on us if a whole lot of our readers, who are a little in arrears, would send us a Valentine in the form of a check. If the idea strikes you as a good one, and 'y don’t happen to be in arrears, get some friend who isn’t a reader of the WATCH- MAN to send his check for a year’s sub- scription. We'll promise not to get mad at any of you. oe COMPLETELY PARALYZED. — Eight or ‘nine weeks ago Charles H. Waite, brother of Darius Waite, of this place, while em- ployed at his work at Pitcairn, was struck by a plank from a car and badly crushed in the abdomen and hips. He was hurt a great deal worse than he cared to acknowl- edge and did not give up his work until a short time aftei wards, when he slipped and sprained himself in removing a jack from the tracks. Hie waives Mrs. Avna Waite, of south Thomas street, and. his brother went out to see him at the time and al- | %° though they found him very hopeful they realized that he was pretty well used up. | Friday morning they learned that the lower part of his body and his legs had been paralyzed and Saturday a m an- A par- alyzed from his neck down.

SELVES CREDITABLY.—Therc ‘was a very appreciative, though not as large as it should have been, audience at Garman’s on Tuesday night to hear the concert by the Colevilleband. This amateur organization has worked itself up to a position of leader among bands in this section, and naturally, the public is beginuing to awaken with a sense of belated pride. ‘The concert Tuesday evening was divided into four parts. 1st, band work; 2nd, spec- ialties ; 3rd, band ; 4th, a farce. It would require far more space than we have at oar disposal to take up every number sepa- rate, therefore, only a few will be mentioned Of course they were all meritorious. . The band played surprisingly well. There was a noticeable absence of indi- vidual blowing and the piano movements were splendid. Its best numhers were the overture from the ‘Barber of Seville’” and the Waltz ‘‘Danube Waves.” Chas. Rote’s cornet solo in the ‘‘Flirtation Polka’ was very nicely handled and received the enthu- siastic applause it merited. The alto solo ¢‘Sparkles Waltz’ which Scott Lose; who has probably been playing in bands longer than any other man in the county, plaved was a revelation of his artistic ability. It was one of the sweetest numbers of the night and easily divided honors with Sam- uel Bryant's cornet solo, “Sea Flowers Polka." The big feature of the variety portion of the program was Mrs. Charles Rote’s trom- bone solo. Mrs. Rote’s season of work with Wallace’s circus has given her a pro- fessional an that is decidely striking and she was recalled several times. The illustrated songs were well present- ed and Billy Rhine contributed a dancing number, Philip Garbrick showed feats of strength with gun, pick ax and glass cane evolutions, while the inimitable Jim Har- ris had a burlesque on Franciscus, the | magician, that was uproarious. Charles Rote was the star actor in a clever little after farce called ‘‘The Haunted Tavern’ which was carried through in a successful manner. The pictures and light effects were by Mallory and Taylor and played a large part in making the entertainment a suc- cess. Some of the views along Bald Eagle and Spring creeks shown by the young photographers were certainly beautiful. or tl omer AN EXJOYABLE BIRTHDAY SURPRISE. On Friday evening, February 1st, a very enjoyable surprise party was given by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Meyer at their home near Boalsburg in honor of the birthday of their oldest son Nevin W. He, with his cousin, Mr. George Meyer, of the Branch, were in- vited to spend the day with their aunt at the College. After enjoying a good dinner and seeing all the fine stock and other sights at the College they returned home aud were surprised at the company of jolly young people who had gathered there to have a pleasant time.
