a. Demorealic Aan. Bellefonte, Pa., June 14, 1901. —— — CorRESPON DENTS.—No communications pub lished unless accompanied by the real name of the writer. ee —————————— THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY —Robert Thompscn, of Bellefonte, has been granted a pension of $12 per month. ——County Superintendent of schools C.

E. congregation held their Children’s Day services in their church on St. Paul street on last Sunday evening. —The Ladies’ Home Missionary 'Socie- ty of the Presbyterian church, of Mill Hall, will meet Thursday afternoon, June 20th, at the home of Mrs. Samuel Harris. ——The Germania orchestra of Lock Haven, which is considered one of the finest orchestras in this section, played at the Beta Theta Pi dance at State College on Monday evening. ——-Sunday was a great day for Belle- fonte liverymen. Every old skate that could be strapped between shafts was good for $3 or $4 that day, so great was the de- mand for horses. —Frank Saucerman was the lucky marksman who won the 38 cal. Winchester rifle given away by Joshua Burley. Frank hit the duck 494 times, and Wm. Kline came in second with 465. ——=Severe frosts frightened the farmers, fruit-growers and truckmen throughout parts. of Clinton county on Monday morn- ing. As it turned out, however, hut little damage was done. ——Two small deer are in the habit of feeding in the fields of the Hale estate ad- joining Philipsburg. They can be seen al- most any day browsing away as though they were part of a farm flock}of sheep, and apparently not a particle afraid. —A number of cattle, pasturing on the mountains between Sugar Valley and the lower end of Nittany Valley, have been found dead—supposed to have been poison- ed by eating laurel or some other poisonous plant. Alvin Smith has lost three of his herd, and the Ira McKibben estate has found one, belonging to it. dead. A team of gray horses, owned by Robert Taylor and driven by Sanford Wil- ‘son, frightened at a dog on Allegheny ‘street, on Wednesday afternoon, and ran away. The horses or the wagon were not ‘hurt in the least but a mail box that was fastened to an iron post at the Brockerhoff corner was smashed to pieces. No other damage was done. ——The horse and buggy that was left at Kohlbecker’s hotel in Milesburg, some time ago by a traveling salesman, who skipped out without paying his bill, has been claimed by an Altoona liveryman named Walters. The man who had hired it had only lately been discharged from the Altoona hospital and stated that he wanted to drive over into the country to see some relatives. Rev. Dr. Lawrence M. Colfelt preached in the Presbyterian church in this place on Sunday evening, using the same text that had furnished the theme of his baccalaureate sermon to the class of 1901 at the College that morning. While the sermon was powerful, as are all of Dr. Colfelt’s pulpit productions, it was not as deep as many of his former efforts here, probably because it had been designed for a younger audience than was the one that crowded the Presbyterian church. ——An interesting game of base ball was played on Saturday at State College be- tween the scrub team of the College and the Academy team here. The game was full of excitement from start to finish, and although our boys were fairly beaten we must say they played a most excellent game. The score was 8 to 3 in favor of the College scrubs. The last game of the season to be played by the Academy boys ‘will be at Williamsport where they will meet the Dickinson Seminary team next Saturday afternoon. : ——On Sunday afternoon a gang of men who should have bad more respect for the day, if they have none for themselves, ‘gathered on Half-moon hill for a game of cards. They had proceeded but a short time when a fight ensued ‘in which one of the party was badly cut and otherwise used up. Possibly the fact that their actions, and results, have become public may pre- vent a recurrence of such conduct. If it does not, and this Sunday gambling is con- tinued the WATCHMAN will feel justified in giving the names of parties concerned to the public. ——The police have found it necessary to coop a number of drunks and disorder- lies the past week. Among this list of per- sons who have been disgracing themselves, were Jno. Sourbeck Jr., and fruit vender Cunio, who entertained the loafers up about the diamond, on Tuesday, witha “‘rough and tumble,” that didn’t show up to the credit of either. For their fuss and the fun they furnished they were sent to the lock up and each fined $5.00. Harry Boas followed them for getting drunk, and had the satisfaction of sleeping off his load in the town cooler. The names of the other two who marched out the board walk with the officer we did not learn, THE AcADEMY TEA.—We have always beén proud of our Academy—that is of the very excellent scholarship ever maintained by Rev. J. P. Hughes ; its students have graduated with credit from Princeton, Bryn Mawr, Harvard and other colleges, and we can point with pride to many prom- inent men and women who have had their early education at the Bellefonte Academy. For many years Mr, Hughes, and Mr. James Hughes,have worked untiringly and with little encouragement from the town to make this school recognized among first class preparatory academies, and we are glad to see that their indefatigable efforts are now being recognized and appreciated by the public. Properly appreciated can scarcely yet be said for while much tangible encouragement has been given them in the past few. years, their enthusiasm and devo- tion to the cause of education are deserving of the heartiest support in the way of appa- ratus and buildings so necessary in the modern scholastic world. To the credit of those in charge at the Academy it may be said that no matter what was lacking in the way of equipments, no improvement could ever have been made in the way of teachers ; these have always been the very best men and women of experience and well able to second all the Hughes plans and efforts. The rapid strides taken by the Academy can only be properly appre- ciated by those whe attended it ten or more years ago and now go back and look over the grounds. One of the new and very de- lightful features is the annual reception given at the close of the spring term. Tt was held this year on last Friday evening, June 7th, from 7 until 10 o'clock. The main building of the Academy was beauti- ful with its lavish decking of flowers, palms, rugs, gay cushions, and hosts of very pretty and charming girls formed the finishing feature. In the receiving line were Mrs. James R. Hughes, Miss. Law- rence, Miss Wirts, Miss Overton,} Mrs. Babb, Miss Ottalie Hughes and her friend Miss Janet Kuhn, the two latter just home from college at Hagerstown, Md. Refreshments and music by the Belle- fonte orchestra finished the list of ‘things necessary’’ for absolute enjoyment and the guests were certainly appreciative of all that had been done for their entertainment. The invitation, extended to the graduating class, alumni and directors of the High School was accepted,and these added to the students and alumni of the Academy made an unusually large number of guests pres- ent. Each year these affairs seem to in- crease in popularity and success and this last was undoubtedly the most delightful of the Academy receptions. After the reception an informal dance was given in the Arcadg by the young men. rrr fp fp prensa OF INTEREST TO SURERVISORS.—A de- cision, that shows the responsibility of road Supervisors, has just been rendered by the Luzerne county court, and which we recommend every man holding this po- sition in Centre county to read and remem- ber. It is applicable here just as well as’ up in Luzerne, and a full knowledge of the responsibility, that rests upon the individ- ual who is placed in charge of our high- ways, may save him trouble and the dis- trict he represents costs and damages. The case referred to was that of a woman and her husband against the township of Lehman for damages. One night in tbe winter of 1895 they were on their way to attend a grange meeting. At a point along the road snow had drifted and frozen to a solid mass, so that when the sleigh struck it there was an upset and the woman was so severely injured that she has been an invalid ever since. The jury struggled with the matter some forty hours and final- ly awarded the woman $1,000 and the hus- band $113 for the loss of his wife's service. The figures are not high for the extent of the damage apparently done, but the fact, that there was any recovery at all, fixes up- on tha township the responsibility for keeping the roads clear and safe for travel. In a very few sections of the State is any attempt made by the authorities to clear the roads of snow and ice. —— Qe. KEEP YOUR EYE OPEN FOR THEM.— A couple of swindlers, whom it might be well for people to keep a look out for, are working their way West and are about due in some of the localities in which the WATCHMAN circulates. The one was heard from in Sunbury, the other in Miflin- town. The Sunbury fakir sells a glittering looking lamp-tip represented to be alamin- um, which turns out “to be the cheapest and most worthless tin. He bas left piles of them in every community he has visited, and the whole lot put together are not worth the price paid for one. The other cheat, who has been reaping a short crop along the Juniata valley, selects ministers and official church members’as his victims. He represents that he has been sent as the representative of an estate in Washington to inform the party, that he calls upon. of a bequest having been made to the church in which the minister or other persons is in- terested, aud that the money is ready and subject to sight draft. He gives the names of the party upon whom to draw, shows a certificate to the effect that the heqnest has been made, and winds up with presenting a bill of expenses, which he asks to be paid, and which is usually handed over. He is said to be a slick one, and has done a num- ber of ministers along the Juniata valley out of sums ranging from $4 to $10. He is heading westward but may turn up at any point. : OE fe — ~——‘“The Man in the Moon’’ opera will be produced in Clearfield in the near fu- ture. Prof. J. G.

District Attorney Spangler who has charge of her case has been in Johnstown during the week looking up evidences. — i ——Mzr. John F. Harter, revenue collect- or for the district of which this county is a part, has sent out the following notice : “In order to accommodate applicants, and save them possible expense and trouble, deputies will specially attend the following places, to receivé taxes and issue stamps : Lock Haven—S.

H. Williams, music; G. W. Rees and James Harris, fi- nance. rere Qe ren ——T'here are many persons who could take a pointer from the managers of the Woodford, Ill., county fair and not be hurt a particle by it. On the back of the complimentary tickets issued to the press, is the following recognition of the value of the advertising given them, and the paucity of the pay that is usually doled out in tickets in return : “This ticket has probably been paid for ten times by the paper to which it is issued. It will be honored in the hands of man woman or child, white or black, red or yellow, who favors the association by presenting it, good for entrance and grand stand, and bearer if driving will be entitled to pass team free. The association recognizes the fact that its splendid success is due to the notices so freely given by the press, and while we cannot render an equivalent in cash, we return our grateful thanks.” ee AA eee. ——The convention of Christian Eo- deavors of Clinton County, held at Beech Creek, last week brought forth some very interesting information regarding the strength of the society in that county.

The officers elected were : President, George S. Garth, Mill Hall ; first vice president, H, W.. Shaffer, Lock Haven ; corresponding secretary, Laura Leitzel, LockHaven ; treas urer,C. T.

Mip SUMMER RACES-—The manage- ment of Bellefonte’s attractive fair grounds do not propose to let the 4th of July pass by without offering the people of this section of the state, some amuse- ment. It has arranged for mid sammer races on that date and everything is being put in the best of order for that purpose. Many of the best horses in the central part of the State have been secured, the track has been thoroughly gone over,a purse of $500.00 is promised and every indication points to a most successful and entertain- ing meeting. The purses will he as fol- lows : : 20 Class ' Trot & Pace 6 .. $150.00 18 “ i “ “ i * 200,00 The races will not be called until 2 p. m. so that persons who desire taking their dinners with the firemen at Hecla Park can enjoy both. oN "A Youne THIEF.—Minnie Foulk the 15 year old daughter of Josh Foulk, was arrested of stealing and is now making her home, for the time being, in the jail. For soms time past the local authorities have been trying to find a clear case of theft against this young woman, but they never could get their point accomplished, until this morning. The facts of the case can be very easily told without going into a lengthy detail. Mrs. Agnes Moore who has rooms in the Crider-building on Al- legheny street was out walking on Sunday and she passed this person with a waist on exactly like her daughter's. After reaching home she examined her ward robe, which was on the fourth floor of the building, and found not only the flannel waist gone, but two coats, a number of heavy skirts, a plush cape, lace curtains, and a number of other articles. She went to Col. Mullen and the two went to the Foulk home on High St. Mrs. Moore demanded her cloth- ing, the girl admitted stealing it and said she would take it home, which she did. Mrs. Moore then told Miss Jennie Morgan about the theft, and when Miss Morgan examined her ward robe she found all of her winter clothing gone. She made information against the girl, the police were given a search warrant, and all of the clothes missing were found at the girls home under the bed. She was then arrest- ed and taken to jail, to awaita hearing and trial. Later—Mrs. Foster Williams had quite a good bit of clothing and other articles stored away on the same floor of the Ex- change and upon investigatson, she finds most everything gone. She had a search warrant issued and finds all those at this house. —————— A es SWEET WEDDING BELLs.—The little Evangelical church on Willowbank street, on Tuesday evening, was the scene of an event that will long he remembered by those who were present. It was the mar- riage of Samuel N. Roberts and Minnie E. Markle, both of Bellefonte. There were no invitations issued but it was under- stood by their many friends that all were invited, and the result was that the church was crowded so much that the doors were locked a half an hour before the bridal party arrived. Promptly at 8 o'clock Prof. Philip Meyer, who is an accomplished musician, began the beautiful bridal chorus and march from Lohengrin. First entered Messrs. Clarence Longacre and Oliver Hazel, followed hy Chas. Newcomer and James Shook as ushers, Mr. Samuel Gettig as best man and Miss Ella Miller as maid of honor. They were followed by the bride and groom. She was dressed in a traveling suit of light steel cashmere trim- med in Persian lace, and the groom in con- ventional black. Rev. Wm. Brown per- formed the ceremony that made this happy young couple one. They left on the 8:30 train on Tuesday evening for a short bridal tour East. *0e MRs. JoHNSON.—Lydia Cordelia Rey- nolds, aged 72 years, wife of Joel H. John- son died at her home on east Bishop street, Saturday evening. She was born in New- berry, Lycoming county, and was a daugh- ter of John Reynolds. When 18 years of age her parents moved to Hublersburg, where she was married and later came to Bellefonte to live. She is survived by her husband, Joel H. Johnson, her children John Curtis, Milton, Harry, Mrs. W. C. Coxey, Emma and Ella and a brother, John M. Reynolds, Carlisle, Iowa. Funeral services were held Tuesday after- noon at 2 o’clock, Rev. Wilford P. Shriner officiating. Interment in the Union ceme- tery. Mrs. Johnson’s death can scarcely be said to have been unexpected for she bas heen an invalid for some time. About ten years ago she bad a stroke, which paralyzed the muscles but not the nerves and left her helpless but a constant and intense sufferer. An energetic and very capable woman, do- ing constantly for others—at home, in the community and church—her helplessness was a very serious affliction, but these years of suffering and sorrow have been so bravely and uncomplainingly endured that she was an inspiration to others: seeming a living testimony to- the comfort of living near to Him who shall wipe away all tears. Ii I li W. A. KERLIN.—Scores of readers of the WATCHMAN will regret to learn of the death of W. A. Kerlin at his home in Cen- tre Hall, on Wednesday evening last. Mr. Kerlin had been an uncomplaining suffer- er, from bronchial trouble, for several years, and his death comes in the shape of a release of pain toa good man. He was born in Benner township 45 years ago, and has resided the greater portion of his life within this county. While able to be about he was a devout and working men- ber of the Lutheran church. He leaves a widow and four children, Arthur E., Wal- ter M., Edwin M., Nellie E., together with a host of friends to mourn his demise. Funeral, this, Friday morning. I Ll I DEATH OF MRS.
