tandon. The groom is a graduate of The
Pennsylvania State College and at present
is a mining engineer for the Hastings &
Spangler Coal Co. He met his bride at
State College, while she was stenographer
to the president, Dr. Geo. W. Atherton.
Rev. R. Crittenden is very sensibly
advising the women in Milesburg to pro-
vide no big dinners for the delegates at-
tending the county Sabbath School Con-
vention te be held there on Tuesday, the
23rd of April. One reason he gives for this
. counsel is that he wants the women at the
convention and not to be detained at home
preparing what is not needful for them to
fare sumptuously on that day.
THE OPENING OF THE FISHING SEASON.
—Monday was a pleasant day, so far as at-
mospheric conditions were concerned, for
the opening of the trout season. but the
water was evidently not right, for from all
parts of the county come reports of poor
catches.
About Bellefonte there was the usual
army of first dayers assembled on the banks
of the stream, but few of them got even
one fish. It was noteworthy that most of
the trout were caught within 500 yards of
the High street bridge and few of them
were under 10 inches long. Logan’s branch,
above the Phoenix mill,disgnsted hundreds
of fishermen who were along it before day-
light. Spring Creek, ahove the old car
works, was a flat failure.
These conditions seem to indicate that
the trout are either getting very much
scarcer or were carried down by recent
floods. Of course the water was very cold —
mostly snow water—and not conducive to
good fishing, but when the large fish that
are 80 well fed right here in town would
bite why should the same conditions not
obtain with the fish elsewhere.
It looks to very much as if the large
trout have been eating the small ones, be-
cause around here there were very few
trout under 9 or 10 inches caught.
Joe Rightnour, John Knisely, James
Delige, Clarence Harper, Willis Shuey,
Charley Heisler, Charley Anderson, Harry
Baum, Will Walker and Jim Solt ail had
strings of from 6 to 25. Some of them 17
inches long and few under 10.
From the lower end of Penns valley the
reports are equally poor. The Drs. Harter,
of State College, caught 18 in Elk creek,
the largest being 12} inches long. Harry
Condo, H. N. Meyer, Harry McManaway
and Thomas Buck caught 74 in the same
stream, their largest being 14 inches.
John McGinley, Jos. Lose, R. S. Brouse,
Homer Barnes and W. C. Cassidy went to
the upper end of Fishing creek. They
caught 140 fair sized fish.
From Philipsburg the reports are equally
poor. Tew of the fishermen of that place
met with much success.
John C. Kuhn, of Centre Hall, was in
town yesterday and said that he had tried
it a little in Penns Creek, but caught only
a few. Will Smith, of Spring Mills, is re-
ported to have caught 71b in that stream,
however.
Henry Royer, of Potter’s Mills, went in
onto Laurel run at Pat Gherrity’s and
caught 75 ranging from 7 to 13} inches.
Thomas Palmer made the next highest
catch on that stream. He got 25.
W. R. Haynes, George Uzzle and Davy
Chambers, the star piscatorial performers
of the Snow Shoe region, make their reports
as follows :—Haynes caught 16lbs on Eddy
Lick, Uzzle and Chambers together were
content with 18Ibs out of Beech Creek and
Wolf run.
The opening of the season was quite pro-
pitious at the Nittany country club pre-
serve. That stream is so well stocked and
the trout in it so hungry that they are said
to run clear out onto the bank after flies.

A PARDON RECOMMENDED FOR CoOR-
NELLY.—A¢t noon yesterday the WATCH-
MAN received the following brief telegram
from its special correspondent at Harris-
burg :
“Pardon recommended for James Cornelly,”
This will be glad news for the many
friends of Cornelly in this place, who have
so persistently labored to secure his release
from a punishment being inflicted for
crimes they believe him to be innocent of.
On Nov. 1st, 1897, Cornelly was sen-
tenced to pay a fine of $1, costs of prosecu-
tion and to undergo imprisonment in the
western penitentiary for a period of 5 years
and 6 months for having attempted to burn
the armory of Co. B, at the same term he
had been acquitted of the charge of setting
fire to the electric light works.
He had been in jail awaiting trial for
several months previous to that time and
remained in jail here until the spring of
1898, or after the Superior court had over-
ruled his appeal for a new trial.
A previous, but unsuccessful, effort had
been made to secure his pardon. On Wed-
nesday C. M. Bower Esq., went to Harris-
burg and argued the case before the Board
of Pardons, after Hugh S. Taylor had se-
cared an opportunity for a rehearing. Yes-
terday the Board made a favorable recom-
mendation to the Governor and now all
that remains is for his signature to the
order of release.
Cornelly is in bad health. IF he is fortu-
nate enough to get back to his home in this
place it is to be hoped that the lesson of
these three long years in prison will have
been of sufficient impressiveness to him to
make him a better man. Jim is capable of
becoming a useful and honorable citizen
and we trust that he has heen permanently
weaned away from the habits that brought
about his implication in the charges that
sent him to prison.

THREE MEN INJURED.—Edward Nei-
hart, Thomas Shope and another workman
by the name of Immel were badly hurt at
MecCalmont’s quarries on Wednesday after-
noon.
A blast had failed to go off and the men
bad returned to the hole to investigate the
cause when it unexpectedly exploded, in-
juring all of them.
Neihart was the worst hurt. His face
was badly lacerated, eyes blown full of
sand and the flesh torn off his left arm
from the shoulder to the tips of his fingers.
Shope had two fingers on his left hand
broken, his arm lacerated and otherwise
burt. Immel escaped with a few slight
cuts and bruises.

——When John Kelly and his bride,
who was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry

——'Squire F. P. Musser, of Millbeim,
on Tuesday, heard testimony in the cases
and counter cases of Monroe, Kulp & Co.
and Nathan Hough, each charging the other
with cutting timber on lands not belonging
to them. It was interesting to note that
two of the witnesses were men of extreme
old age. M. D. Rockey, of Tylersville, who
is 86, was there and Augustus Ceyer, of
Loganton, 79 years old, also testified in a
clear, concise way.
eens
——J. W. Boileau, of Pittsburg, the
representative of the proposed American
lime trust was in town again on Tuesday,
in company with A. G. Morris, of Tyrone.
The purpose of his visit was to renew over-
tures to certain of the local operators, but
nothing further has developed in this di-
rection than was told exclusively by the
WATCHMAN last week. Propositions have
been made by the trust to all of the opera-
tors here and the latter have made their
offers to the trust, but no papers effecting
a consolidation have been signed.

——Being unable to produce the $250
license fee and $9 costs of entering the
same, after he had been granted a brewer’s
license for the Roopsburg plant by the last
court, Matthews Volk has closed the
brewery and left for parts unknown. The
failure to renew the license left the internal
revenue collector with ninety barrels of
beer on his hands out there and baving no
legal warrant to sell or give it away, it was
poured into Spring creek. When he first
began brewing Volk’'s beer found a ready
market, but the demand becoming greater
than the facilities for proper brewing
the heer was put on the market in an
inferior condition. This naturally re-
sulted in a loss of bueiness and the exhaus-
tion of Matthews resources.
ise
——When seen in town on Monday Mr.
Robert Henderson, who is the unfortunate
farmer on the B. F. Hunter farm, on which
the large barn was destroyed by fire last
Thursday morning, with such serious loss
to him, said that he did not believe that
the little boy living with him had had any-
thing to do with its origin. While we had
no intention of imputing that the lad had
wilfully set it afire, in our report of the
conflagration, we may have done him an
injustice by even publishing the rumor that
was afloat to the effect that he had been
‘‘the accidental cause of it.’’ If we have in
any way reflected upon the conduct of the
little fellow we cheerfully make amends
for it, for if there is anything unfortunate
it is for one to be under the odium of an
offense of which he is entirely guiltless.
This is not to say, however, that the acci-
dental firing of that barn would have at-
tached any discredit or disgrace to him, for
accidents will happen and at any time and
any place.

——The Snow Shoe township election
contest case was decided here on Friday by
Judge Love in favor of D. R. Thomas, the
Democratic aspirant for supervisor out
there. The judges had returned the count
as being tie between Mr. Thomas and Mr,
Bullock, his Republican opponent, but a
contest was brought on three ballots that
were not counted in the Western precinct.
The name of Mr. Lucas for auditor had not
been printed in its regular place in the
Democratic column and several of the vot-
ers, instead of writing it out in the column
to the right for that purpose, wrote it in
the blank place in the Democratic column.
Mr. Bullock claimed such votes to be invalid
on that account, but judge Love ruled that
they were invalid only so far as the office
of auditor was concerned and should} have
been counted for Mr. Thomas. A recount
of the entire vote in both precincts}was
then made with the result that Thomas
had 153 and Ballock 149, thus electing
Mr. Thomas. Quite a party of gentlemen
were bere for the argument of the case,
among them being precinct chairman Mar-
tin McLaughlin, Messrs. Chambers, Flem-
ing, Lucas and Thomas.
THE ORGAN RECITAL.—The climax ot |
the week’s services attendant upon the re- | oped in Altoona.
opening of the Methodist Episcopal church
here was reached Thursday evening. Then
the fine new pipe organ, which Mrs. Daniel
H. Hastings procured for the church
through her own personal friends, was
heard for the first time by the general pub-
lic at- a recital given by Miss Isabel Mec-
Dowell, of Harrisburg. Miss McDowell
interpreted the master-pieces of the great
composers, she had selected, so admirably
and the entire program was so above the
ordinary that the recital will be enrolled
as one of the distinctly successful musical
events of the town. And as for thecrowd
that attended why it was worse than going
to grand opera on rush tickets. The seats
and aisles and chancel were crowded til not
another person could he admitted and even
then they came on until a hundred or so
were turned away at the door.
Miss McDowell is a musician of special
charm. Her technique is at once masterly
and unobtrusive and her playing is nicely
balanced with brilliancy and delicacy. In-
deed all of the soloists were of the star class
too, Miss Hench and Miss Douglass, of Har-
risburg,and our own splendid baritone D. E.
Wentzel. Miss Hench’s voice is a clear,sweet
soprano of good quality and she uses it
admirably, with ease and style. She sang
“The Majesty of the Divine Humiliation?’
from Stainers ‘“‘Cracifixion.”” Miss Doug-
lass has a rich, full contralto voice, flexible
and high. In the trio ‘‘I waited for the
‘| Lord?’ by Mendelssohn, the voices blended
so artistically it was almost impossible to
distinguish them. Her selection was
Granier’s ‘‘Hosanna.”” Mr. Wentzel sang
“Fear not, Ye, O Israel’”’ and the audience
delightedly showed their satisfaction and
only restrained their enthusiasm because of
the surroundings.
During the evening Mrs. Hastings for-
mally presented the organ to the trustees
of the church. Mr. F. W. Crider was to
have received it as president of the board of
trustees, but he was at home seriously ill
and Rev. W. P. Shriner was enlisted as his
substitute. His reply to Mrs. Hastings was
fraught with feeling and appreciation and
the evening was a rarely enjoyable one
which gave to its promoters as well as its
musicians a perfect ovation of praise.
bel
JENKINS AND LINGLE’S PLANT AGAIN
ScorRCHED.—The core room and part of the
foundry building of the Jenkins and Lin-
gle plant at the old car works were destroy-
ed by fire early Monday evening. The fire
was first discovered by Eliza Walker who
called the attention of her son William to
the smoke coming out of the end of the
building, but the latter, thinking it was
the usual smoke from the core room,
paid no attention to it until the flames ap-
peared and proved that there really was fire
there. An alarm was hurriedly sent in,
but before the department could get on the
scene the flames were shooting out through
the roof in great sheets.
That portion of the building being of
frame burned rapidly and soon communicat-
ed to the roof of the adjoining foundry
building, which was partially destroyed.
Both members of the firm speak in high-
est praise of the work done by the fire com-
panies after the engines were gotten to
work. When seen next morning Mr. Lin-
gle said that it was really astonishing how
effectively the fire men did work.
Jenkins & Lingle estimate their loss at
about $2,000, all of which is covered by in-
surance. They lost none of their valuable
patterns, and the only real serious incon-
venience the fire will cause them is the de-
lay in their spring work, though it is ex-
pected that in two weeks all departments
will be running again in temporary strac-
tures.
The machine shops and main portions of
the foundry and blacksmith shops were not
damaged.

HENRY GorDON HELD Up.—Henry
Gordon, a resident of north Allegheny
street, was held up by highwaymen while
on his way from church on Sunday night,
and relieved of a silver watch and chain
and about $11 in money.
The scene of the robbery iz at the alley
that intersects north Allegheny street be-
tween Curtin and Beaver. It is within 200
ft. of the arc light at Allegheny and Curtin
and just at the lower end of Gen. Beaver’s
lawn. Mr. Gordon was crossing the alley
when three men pounced out upon him.
Two held his arms and kept their bands
over his mouth, while the third rifled his
pockets. After they had procured all he
had the men gave him a push down the
boardwalk, causing him to fall onto his
bands and knees, then they ran off through
the alley.
Mr. Gordon has no idea as to the identity
of his assailants and as he is well advanced
in years was little able to defend himself
against them.

A THIEF'S WARM RECEPTION.—While
farmer George E. Harper, who lives ahout
two and one-half miles west of Pine Grove
Mills, was in the latter place, on Saturday
evening, attending to a little business at
the end of the week a man undertook to
break into an old house which he uses as a
granary. Mr. Harper's fourteen year old
son George discovered the thief at his work
and shot at him. While the shot went
wide of its mark it had the effect of attracs-
ing the attention of the intruder from the
grain house to the boy. The thief walked
a few steps toward George, who pluckily
stood his ground, and then fired at him,
the ball going through the crown of his
(the boy’s) cap.
George returned the shot, this time evi-
dently with better effect for the fellow
yelled aud ran away, as the youthful guard
sent three more shots whizzing after him.
Mr. Harper writes that the next thieving
visitor to his place will meet even a warmer
reception than the one received on Satur-
day night.

NOTABLE MASONIC CEREMONIES To-
NIGHT.—It has been fifteen years since
Constans Commandery No. 33, K. T. of
Bellefonte has celebrated such an event as
will take place in the Armory this evening
and the memory of that brilliant ceremony
lingers in the minds of many to awaken
delightful anticipation of the installation
to-night.
On the evening of Sept. 29th, 1886, the
Commandery had its last public installation.
Once since that time, when the Comman-
dery opened its new hall in the Reynolds
bank building, it bas taken the public be-
yond the green curtains of Masonry and
entertained lavishly.
It is little wonder then that those who
have been fortunate enough to be invited
to the ceremonies tonight are on the qui
vive of expectation.
The program will begin at 8 o’clock, or
immediately after the Commandery has ar-
rived at the armory. They will march
from their hall in full regalia and headed
by the Coleville band.
The installing officer will be Em. Sir.
Knight Wilson I. Fleming, Grand Senior
Warden of the Grand Commandery Knights
Templar, of Pennsylvania, and Division
