——Geo. L. Potter, general manager of
the Pennsylvania railroad lines west of
Pittsburg, has been made general manager
of the Baltimore and Ohio, now that that
road has come under the control of the
Pennsy. :
——The ministerial association of Belle-
fonte met recently and took action express-
ing the regret of that body at the depart-
ure of Rev. Thomas Levan Bickel, the
pastor of the Reformed church here, who
bas accepted a call to the Fortieth and
Spring Garden streets church in Philadel-
phia.
——Dr. Lawrence M. Colfelt will preach
in the Presbyterian church here on Sunday
evening. He is to deliver the baccalaureate
sermon at The Pennsylvania State College
in the morning and his many friends in
Bellefonte will be delighted that this op-
portunity of hearing him will be afforded.
Bierly Bros. of Milesburg, had their
new automobile in Bellefonte on Friday
evening and cut quite a dash rolling about
in it. They built it in their Milesburg
shops and it presents a very handsome ap-
pearance indeed. The ‘‘contraption,’” as
we heard one fellow call it, consumes
gasoline and is capable of making twenty-
five miles an hour.
——DRev. Wilford P. Shriner, pastor of
the Methodist church, delivered the bac-
calaureate sermon to the class of 1901 of
the Bellefonte High school on Sunday
evening. The church was crowded
with an audience that was at once im-
pressed with the significance of the service
and the sincere advice given to the young
people by the pastor. During the evening
Mr. Jay G. Mengel, of Renovo, sang ‘“The
Holy City.”” He bas a sweet tenor voice
of high register and sang with good effect.
— There is a well organized movement
on foot again to close the stores of Belle-
fonte during the months of July and Au-
gust at 6 o’clock every evening except on
pay-days at the furnace, scale works, Mor-
ris, McCalmont & Co. and Stevens’ lime
operations and Saturday nights. The plan
proved so successful last year that the mer-
chants are signing the agreement very will-
ingly. A few are not yet decided, hut it is
probable that they will join the rest and
thereby afford opportunity for all their em-
ployees to have a little breathing spell dur-
ing the hot summer evenings.
——This evening the Coleville band will
give the first of what we hope will be aseries
of summer concerts. They are now at work
securing contributions to pay the expenses
of concerts to be given weekly at different
points in Bellefonte until the 1st of Sep-
tember. The plan is to announce the place
at which each evening’s concert will he
given and the entire program will be ren-
dered there, instead of dividing it up at
various places as in past years. The con-
tinnance of the concerts, of course, depends
on the support the boys receive and we
trust all who are able will volunteer some-
thing toward securing to the town this de-
lightful entertainment during the summer.
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT THE
HicH ScHOOL.—This has been an event-
ful week in the history of the Bellefonte
public schools. The young ladies and
gentlemen who were graduated from the
High school have been in a whirl of excite-
ment ever since Sunday, so much so that
hosts of their friends caught the contagion
and gave over all their time to the com-
mencement.
From the earnest importunities of Rev.
Shriner's baccalaureate sermon on Sunday
evening to the brilliant presentation of
the qualities that make for success in
young men and women by William H.
Keller Esq., of Lancaster, in his address
last evening, the class of 1901 cannot but
feel that they have reached the beginning
of a new epoch in their lives and we hope
that as they pass ‘‘from the life of school to
the school of life’’ they will ever be mind-
ful of the fair start and helpful suggestions
they received during the various exercises.
The junior declamatory ccntest, at Gar-
man’s, on Wednesday night, crowded that
house, as usual, with friends of those who
were to contest for the Reynolds prizes.
Every one of the declaimers did so well
that we could scarce particularize without
doing injustice to others. The decision of
judges in awarding first prize to Miss
Helen Crissman seemed to meet with the
unanimous approval of the audience, for
she recited ‘The Roman Valentine’’ su-
perbly. For the second place it must
have taken very close shading for the
judges to decide whether Lee Adams,
James Taylor or Miss Bertha Faxon was
best, but her recitation of ‘‘Vashti’”’ was so
gracefully done that the prize went to her,
though the boys had acquitted themselves
splendidly. Miss Helen Shaffer probably
held the andience to the closest attention
with her story of ‘The Night Run of the
Overland,” but an unfortunate little slip,
from which she recovered very gracefally,
put her out of the winning class. William
Brouse, Strohm Lose, Irvin Noll, Miss Net-
tie Kern and Miss Kathryn Musser were
all good. In fact the contest improves
every year, both in interest and in the ex-
cellence of the contestants.
The judges were Col. Wilbur F. Reeder,
Rev. Scott and Rev. Kerschner, of Centre
Hall.
Yesterday was graduation day. During
the afternoon the class orations were deliv-
ered according to the program published
last week. The opera house was crowded
and every one of the young speakers was
applauded to the echo, because they were
all deserving of it.
In the evening William H. Keller Esq.,
of the class of ’84, delivered a very able ad-
dress to the graduates. His theme was
qualities that are essential for success in
the lives of young men and women. It
showed the deep thought and sober inter-
est Mr. Keller had given the matter. And
it also showed the friends at his old home
here that there are excellent reasons for the
rapid strides he is making to the fore at the
Lancaster bar.
After the address the diplomas and prizes
were awarded by D. F. Fortney, president
of the school board, and the committee of
the alumni association reported on a per-
manent organization.
A meeting of the association had been
held in the court house yesterday morning
and it was then decided to give an annual
reception to the graduating class. Next
year it is to be given in the armory and
will be made quite a brilliant affair.
McCLELLAND-MORRISON-Quite unosten-
tations, though none the less happy, was the
wedding of Thomas B. McClelland and
Miss Mary Morrison, on Saturday evening.
It was celebrated at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. D. Morrison, the bride’s parents, at
Unionville, and only the immediate fami-
lies were present. After Rev. W. H.
Brown, of the Bellefonte Evangelical
church, had pronounced the ceremony, a
delightful wedding supper was served and
the young couple were extended the most
cordial greetings of all present.
The groom is a son of William MecClel-
land, of this place, and at present is em-
ployed by M. W. Cowdrick, the contractor
at Niagara Falls. He is a straight-forward
young man and has lots of friends here who
will wish him and his fair bride a long and
happy life. Mrs. McClelland is a very
charming and thoroughly capable woman.

A WARNING SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT.—
The mischievous fellows who have been
amusing themselves by tearing up the
garden on the J. I. DeLong property at
Eagleville had better take this warning
and desist.
Such rascally acts, whether from pure
deviltry or malice, should not be tolerated
in any community, nor will such be the
case at Eagleville. The perpetrators are
warned to desist and if they do not they
will be severely punished.

BURGLARS AT CURTIN’S.—An unsucoess-
ful attempt was made to burglarize John
Parker’s store at Curtin’s works last Friday
night. A shutter was forced open, several

so that they could crawl in, when they
were frightened away. °

evening, when he suddenly fell, his right
hand coming in contact with the knives of
a buzz planer. In an instant his hand was
being ground into powder and the parti-
cles of flesh and bone were so fine that
they were sucked up the dust flues and no
trace, whatever, left of them.

in court and a re-view was made with the
above result.

——Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Gross, of Bishop
street, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lose, of
Water street, are recipients of much at-
tention these days. Fine boy babies have

than cloth in his Taylor shop now and that
Joe no longer needs a ladder from which to
“trim’’ bigh hanging arc lamps.
——The hoiler in the saw mill owned by
Frank Swartz, at Caldwell, Clinton county,
blew up on Friday evening about 5 o’clock

other employee on the mill, was struck on
the hip by a piece of the flying boiler and
painfully, though not seriously, hurt.

351 Auburn Ave. to exposition visitors. It

to stop with the Nivlings and if you are
going you should write them.

——A man who registered at the Central
hotel in Milesburg two weeks ago, sudden-
ly disappeared two days later leaving a
horse and new buggy behind him. He
said he had come from Tyrone and was a
salesman, but had no baggage. He ar-
rived at Mr. Kohlbecker’s place on Tues-
day evening and loafed about there until
Thursday evening when he wanted to
come to Bellefonte, ostensibly to get a pair
of shoes. He was not permitted to take
his horse and buggy unless he would pay
his bill before starting. This he was un-
able to do, so be disappeared, leaving his
nonveyance behind him.

—Batcher Philip Beezer’s bay driving
horse broke loose from a post in front of
the Beezer shop on the Diamond, on Mon-
day afternoon, and created quite a commo-
tion before he was stopped. The horse
frightened at the noise made in loading
empty beer kegs on a wagon, and ran
across the Diamond at break-neck speed.
He turned up north High street and circ-
led the court house, coming out on the
south side and jumping into the grass plot
there. The buggy hung up on the rail
that surrounds it, but the horse galloped
down past the fountain and on to Bishop
street, where he was caught. Not a thing
was broken but a piece of the shaft. Of
course the little iron fence that surrounds
the court house yard was twisted beyond
repair. On the north side of the building
some children were playing, but all got
out of the road of the runaway except little
Lena Boyer. She stood directly in ity
path and, strange to say, the horse leaped
clear over her, never leaving as much as a
mark.
