change bills of large denomination and,
necessarily, bad to make frequent visits to
his depository. The thief must have seen
him going once and, discovering the
cause, made farther trips unnecessary by
walking off with the entire pile.
FALL WEDDINGS. —The wedding of Miss
Annie M. Brooks, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Jasper Brooks, of Pleasant Gap, and
Harry S. Gentzell, at the home of the
bride’s parents on Thursday afternoon, the
26th, was the social event of the fall at
Pleasant Gap. The assemblage, the deco-
rations, the music, the weather—every-
thing was as auspicious as the most exact-
ing bride could wish. The house was lav-
ishly decorated with laurel, palms and fall
flowers. The multi-colored costumes of
the guests added brightness to the scene
‘and the day and evening were gorgeously
beautiful.
Miss Rhoda Alexander, of Lewistown,
played the wedding march from Lohengrin
and just at five o’clock the wedding party
entered the reception room in the follow-
ing order. The groom and his best man,
Winfield Bathgate, of Altoona, the brides-
maid and usher, Miss Mary Twitmire and
Cloyd Brooks, the little flower girl, Helen
Brooks, the bride’s sister, and the bride and
her maid of honor, Miss Clara Gentzell,
sister of the groom. A solid screen of
plants and flowers decorated one end of the
room and there Rev. G. W. Lescher, of the
Luthern church, awaited the party and
performed the ceremony. The bride, who
is quite a musician, looked exceedingly at-
tractive and girlish in her gown of white
Paris muslin. She did not wear a veil,but
had white roses in her hair. Her maid of
honor was dressed in white organdy with
pink carnations in ber hair. The brides-
maid wore ceil blue silk with white carna-
tions and the little flower girl was gowned
in cream silk and carried a great basket of
white and pink roses.
After the ceremony, congratulations, and
inspection of the many handsome presents
received, a bounteous supper was served to
the one hundred and fifty guests by a Belle-
fonte caterer. Elaborate preparations had
been made to give the bride and groom a
rousing send-off but they cleverly escaped
the conspirators and calithumpians and
drove to town in a borrowed buggy, which
they took without permission, while a car-
riage waited for them at the door. They
left on the 8:30 train for a two week's stay
in Baltimore, Washington, Point Comfort,
Richmond, Atlantic City, Philadelphia and
Benton, Columbia county. Upon their re-
turn they will make their home in Altoona,
where the groom is an employee of the P.
R. R. company.

HoOFFMAN-WALKER.—The marriage of
Miss Caroline E. Hoffman and W. Harri-
son Walker, our prominent young attor-
ney, Wednesday evening the 25th, at the
home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Alvah A. Hoffman, in Pleasantville, Ve-
romance which bad its beginning several
years ago when they were students at the
same institution.
The wedding, in keeping with the promi-
nence and position of the bride’s family,
her own individuality and that of the
groom, was a brilliant and fashionable af-
fair. There were many guests present.
The house was luxuriant with flowers and
decorations. The music was far above the
ordinary and. it was a merry party which
ended only after the bride and groom start-
ed on their journey to the South.
The ceremony was solemnized at 8 o’clock
by the Rev. Dr. Charmock, of the Presby-
terian church. The bride wore an exquis-
ite gown of white crepe de chene over tat-
feta and carried a boquet of brides roses.
Her maid of honor, Miss Ella Leonore
House, was dressed in pink batiste over
pink taffeta and carried pink roses. There
were two little ribbon girls, Marjorie Stew-
art, of Titusville, and Marguerite Shel-
madine, and the best man J. 8. Omwake,
of Shippensburg. The reception was fol-
lowed by an elaborate supper and the pres-
ents received were beautiful and rare. A
silver tea service and tray was the gift of
the Centre county bar of which the groom
with whom he is much of a favorite sent
their remembrance in the form of a hand-
some leather chair.
Mr. Walker, who is the junior member
of the law firm of Fortney and Walker, is
a graduate of the Dickinson law school.
He is an active member of most of the social
organizations of the town and is moreover
a young man of ability and push. His
bride, who is an only child and a Wilson
college graduate, is quite clever, as well as
prepossessing. They will make their home
on east Linn street in the McFarlane house,
which Mr. Walker recently purchased and
which is now being remodeled for their oc-
cupancy.
JOHNSON-MALLORY.—A small, though
happy and auspicious, wedding was celebra-
ted Wednesday morning at the Johnson
home on east Bishop street when Miss Em-
ma Johnsen was united in marriage to
H. Burt Mallory. Owing to the recent
death of the hride’s mother there were no
guests out side of the two families. The
house bad heen tastefully decorated with
flowers and plants and a fine wedding
The bride was very becomingly dressed
in white nainsook aud the ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Dr. Shriner, of the
Methodist church, at 11 o’clock. Mr. and
Mrs. Mallory departed cn the 1.05 train
for a short wedding trip and upon their re-
turn they will make their home with the
bride’s father, Mr. Joel Johnson, on east
Bishop street. Miss Ella Johnson, the
bride's sister, is to be married the latter
part of this month and they are both such
excellent young women and so capable
that Mr. Mallory and Mr. Smith are fortu-
nate indeed.

her mother it was decided to have the
marriage take place away from home. C.

William Grenoble, an old soldier
who was shot clear through the body in
the Civil war, was up on a ladder picking
apples from a tree in his yard at Pleasant
Gap, on Tuesday. The limb he was pick-
ing from and against which the ladder
rested was heavily ladened with fruit and
when Mr. Grenoble removed part of the
weight it sprung up, leaving the ladder
without support. It fell and the un-
fortunate man had the bone of his right leg
broken clear off, mid-way between the knee
and hip. As he is 60 years old the injury
is quite serious, though he is resting as
easy as could be expected.

——Henry Confer, a Howard township
farmer, was in town on Tuesday and had
occasion to saunter through the corridor of
of the court house. Just at the time Hen-
ry was ambling peacefully along he was
accosted by two beautiful young jaglets
who were loafing about there. One of the
latter called the inoffending stranger a
name that had more trimmings than beau-
ty, but the echo of it had hardly ceased
reverherating through the halls than the
one drunk made about half a dozen revolu-
tions in mid-air and the other ran howling
like a Comanche Indian. They say the
name that they called Confer was a bad
one, but the eye the other fellow has now
is far worse.

——~State won her second game of foot
ball on the fair grounds here on Saturday,
by defeating the Western University team
from Pittsburg by the score of 27 to 0. It
was not what could be called an interest-
ing game, though it served to show that
State has made marked improvements in
her play since the game with Susquehanna
a week ago While still a little slow the
blue and white interference formed quite
effectively so that her backs were able to
make consistent gains around the ends, and
many long runs were made by Bennet,
Whitworth and Russell in consequence.
With Smith and Commings on the field
again it looks as though Capt. Hewit will
have one of the best teams State has bad
for years.

——~Quite an amusing story is being told
at the expense of W. Harrison Walker
Esq., of this place, who is away on his
wedding tour. When he got ready to start
off for Pleasantville to be married last
week he hecame imbued with the idea that
some of his friends in Bellefonte might put
some obstacles in the way of his departure,
80, with his trunk, he started off to drive
to Zion to take the evening train over the
Central. Having reached that peaceful
country village in security he was so much
elated over having eluded the imaginary
obstructors that he spent toc much time in
telephoning back gloating over them. As
a result the train that he wanted to go on
pulled past the station without noticing his
frantic signals for it to stop. Then he bad
to hunt up a countryman down there and
pay him a good round price for half kill-
ing his horse in the effort to drive Harrison
and his trank to Cartin’s in time to catch
the B. E. V. train at that place. He made
it, but when he gets home and hears the
true status of affairs he will realize that it
is not always the best plan to cross the
bridge before it is reached.
A LARGE BARN BURNED IN FER-
GUsoN Twp.—Between 12 and 1 o'clock
yesterday morning fire was discovered in
| the northwest corner of the large bank barn
on the Henry Snyder farm, on the White
Hall road, near Pine Grove. Though the
flames had made much headway in the
upper part of the building before their dis-
covery and the fire was dropping down in-
to the back entry, Mr. Snyder his wife
and their daughter, Mrs. Ralph Illings-
worth, were able to get all of the stock out,
though the women worked until the bair
was nearly all burned off their heads in
their heroic efforts to save the animals,
It was a large barn and held all the
season’s crops, which were destroyed,
though few of the implements were lost
because the adjacent buildings, in which
they were stored, were not burned. .
It is almost a miracle that the house was
not burned, asit is located very close to
the barn. The fire was presumably of in-
cendiary origin. Mr. Snyder carried $1000
insurance on the building.
MRs. LovE.—Mrs. Elizabeth Love, relict
of John Love who died twenty eight years
ago, died rather suddenly at her home in
Centre ‘Hall, on Saturday evening at four
o'clock. While she had been a sufferer for
some time with cancer and dropsy she did
not hecome ill until Monday before her
death, when she took her bed never to rise
again.
Mrs. Love was the daughter of William
and Margaret Carson and was born in Pot-
ter township 75 years, 7 months and 11
days ago. She was a most estimable woman
and was converted in the Methodist church
when quite young, having remained stead-
fast to the last, and issurvived by a family
of grown up children. They are James H.,
of Wilton Center, Ill. ; Mrs. Jane Ruble
and Mrs. Ida Martz, of Tusseyville, and
Miss Flora, who has always remained with
her mother.
Funeral services were conducted on Tues-
day morning at 9 o’clock by Revs. Schuyler,
of the Presbyterian, and Haven, of the
Methodist church. Interment was made
in the cemetery at Centre Hall.
Mrs. Love was a sister of James Carson,
of Spring township.

Oliver, who was bornin Derrydeg, Lima-
vady, Ireland, eighty-eight years ago, died
at the home of her niece, Mrs. T. C. Van
Tries, in this place, Wednesday afternoon.

pneumonia. : :
Her father, John Oliver, was a promi-
nent citizen of Derrydeg, and in 1847 she
came to this country to reside; of late years
having made her home with Mrs. Van
Tries. From the time she was 17 years old
she had been a consistent member of the
Preshyterian church.

at 7:30 at the Van Tries home on north
Spring street and this morning the body
wiil be taken to Graysville for interment.
Mrs. Isaac ny Jas of Chester coun-
ty’s prominent and favored women, died on
Sunday, Sept. 21st, after a short illness of
typhoid fever. Mrs. Worth's death was
particularly sad as it occurred at the home
of her son Tom seven miles from her own
home at Kennett Square. She was taken
sick while visiting there and during her
illness Mr. Worth, her busband, had a
partial stroke of paralysis, making it im-
possible for either of them to go to the
other and about which they worried con-
tinually. Mrs. Worth was about 60 years
of age and a most excellent woman. She
is survived by her husband, and two chil-
dren, Mrs. E. R. Chambers, of this place,
and her son Tom, at whose home she pass-
ed away. Interment was made on Tues-
day.

ed on the Beech Creek road, about four
miles east of Snow Shoe, on Sunday after-
noon. He was a brakeman and was climb-
ing the ladder on the outside of a refrigera-
tor car, when he was struck by a water pipe
and knocked off the train. The fireman,
noticing him fall, stopped the train and
backed up to the prostrate form lying by
the tracks. Thurston was unconscious and
was taken to the Lock Haven hospital,
where he died that night at ten o’clock
without having revived. His home was in
Jersey Shore.

re Ql reer.
McKINLEY.—Any one who wants to get
soon an elegantly hound copy of The Life
of William McKinley, written by Murat
Halstead, fully illustrated and reliable,
will “do a good and helpful deed’’ twice.
Once for himself and once for the new
chapel building at Keating Station, P. &
E. R., by sending his name and address on
a postal card to box 254, Bellefonte, Pa.
The $1.50 paid on delivery of the book
will be a McKinley offering for the chapel.
Murat Halstead’s name is a sufficient guar-
antee for the character and excellence of
the book.
In connection with the above notice, Mr.
Crittenden wishes us to add that men,
women and children at Keating will do
what they can for this greatly needed
chapel, bunilt ‘‘in the name that is above
every name.” They must have outside
help. When finished, all concerned will
hear what they will be glad to know.
At his own expense he has done a little
and says God helping him he will do more.
