While rich fall col- | ‘ors gave brilliant hue to hill and vale, car- rying the sed notice that nature was dying the beginning of another work was being made. A work that will go on through all time and will never die until the last day is come and the great army of white rib- boners are called from the field forever. The occasion was the laying of the cor- ner stone of the memorial hall to Miss Marion Petriken. A large crowd of people was attracted to the site of the hall on High street and at 3:30, when the ceremonies opened, the street was blocked with on- lookers. A temporary floor liad been laid to furnish a platform for the clergy and the members of the W. C. T. U., the latter or- ganization having met in their rooms on Allegheny street and proceeded to the new building in a body, president Mrs. John P. Harris and secretary Mre. James Harris, leading the way. A union choir of half a hundred voices opened the services by singing the hymns on the program and when they took up that old familiar melody ‘‘Stand up, Stand up for Jesus’’ the great audience joined with such fervor that it could be heard in all parts of town. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. W. H. Brown, of the Evangelical church, after which Rev. Dr. Laurie made the invocation. Another hymn was sung and Dr. W. P. Shriner, of the Methodist church, delivered the first address, taking for his theme the life and character of the noble woman whose last will was to help the cause of christian temperance. Anoth- er hymn followed this and Dr. H. C. Hol- loway, of the Lutheran church, was intro- duced. He spoke ou the building for Christ and the wonderful work of the W. C. T. U. in the country. At its conclusion Mrs. John P. Harris placed a copper box contain- ing the archives in the stone and reading a list of the articles it contained as follows . Sketch of Miss Petriken ; photograph of “the house she occupied so many years; list “of scholars who attended Miss Petriken’s school, collected by Mrs. H. C. Valentine; a list of contributors thus far toward the erection of the building; a letter from Neal Dow, father of Prohibition in Maine; a list of members of Temperance Tight Bearers, Miss. Annie V. Lyon, leader; a letter from Frances E. Willard, the inspiration and leader of women; resolutions of Bellefonte ‘Temperance Union, organized by Col. ‘Woodford, on the'death of their youngest ‘and most interested member, Harold Rich- ardson Harris ; souvenirs of the Centre county and ‘Bellefonte centennials, a copy of each “weekly paper of ii ‘town, also of the Daily. With this done Rev. Gorgs I. Brown, rector of St. John’s Episcopal ehurch, car- ried out the ceremony by laying the cor- ner stone in a very impressive manner, then Rev. T. W. Perks, of the United Brethren church, prayed,and another hymn was sung, Dr. Laurie pronounced the bene- diction and the service was at an end. Pe —— FIRE IN TEMPLE CoURT.—For the sec- ond time since it-was built Temple court was threatened with destruction by fire early Wednesday morning. The large rooms lately occupied by Sam’l Lewin were being cleaned up for Sim the Clothier and there was much paper and litter in the cellar. It is supposed tbat some of the workmen dropped a spark into the rubbish and it smoldered there until towards morn- ing, when it broke out into flames. The fire was burning fiercely when the rooms were opened in the morning and it was with considerable effort that they were ex- tinguished. Those who were there say that had the fire had about fifteen minutes more start it would have been quite disastrous. — i ree Fike NEAR TUSSEYVILLE.—The fine country home of James Runkle, about one- half mile above Tusseyville, was totally destroyed by fire shortly after noon last Friday. The fire caught from she flue in the summer house and spread with such rapidity that only a few of the household effects were saved. The loss ie very heavy, as Mr. Runkle had noinsurance. Heis the father of Wm. H. Runkle, attorney, of this place. TP A TRAIN STRUCK THEM.--W. M. Rich- ards and his brother from Port Matilda had a narrow escape at Philipsburg on Friday afternoon. They had been in that place with a wagon load of produce and were driving from Philipsburg to Chester Hill. Going ' out Presqueisle street at a’ pretty lively clip they were crossing the P. J. E. and ‘E. railroads tracks when a freight train suddenly hore down upon them. The men could not get ont of the way and were strnck. William had his wrist broken, one of the horses had two legs cut off and the wagon was completely demolished. Officer Sankey shot the injured horse to put it out of misery. # >> Two ‘WOMEN IN AN ACCIDENT AT UNIONVILLE. —Mms, T. E. Griest and Miss Maggie Rich started to drive to the upper cemetery at Unionville, on Tuesday morn- ing, with Griest's team of gray horses. In ascending the very steep hill near the school house the horses shied at a stone at .the rondside and wheeled around so sud- denly as to throw both ladies out.

The game will probably be very ago, but since that time the Lock Haven team has been greatly strengthened, in fact so much that they defeated the Normal eleven last Saturday. oe ——On Sunday Dr. A. W. Hafer was walk- ing along the Bellefonte Central railroad track when his attention was attracted to a large wild turkey that had swooped down out of the mountain at his right. It had no sooner alighted on the ground until the doctot’s little brown dog ran after it and the turkey seemed so bewildered that it jumped into the creek, where the dog easily captar- ed it and dragged it to the shore. Then the doctor rescued it from the dog and brought it home. It is micely marked, weighs about ten ponnds and shows few signs of regretting its life in captivity. It is sup- posed that the turkey was bewildered by the fire in the mountain. ee. ——Last Saturday the Academy foot- ball team went up to the College and had the temerity to defeat the Reserves of that institution by the score of 6 to 5. It was a lucky day too, for all of the instructors and nearly every student of the school on the hill had taken advantage of the special excursion rates to go up and see their fa- vorites play. Things looked a little squal- ly for them, however, until something hap- pened away down near the Academy’s goal line and Ran Hoy got the pig skin under his arm. Well, you might have thought he was trying to run back to California from the way he started down the field. Seeing him go over the five yard lines gave one a sensation similar to watching the fence posts from the window of a limited express train. The footing certainly, was good and Ran bad a touchdown hefore the Reserves seemed to realize that there was something doing. It is needless to go into details about what the sundry hundreds of little Academyites did about that time— and some of the big ones too—and they are all taking about it yet. — THE ORGAN RECITAL.—Seldom has a Bellefonte audience been as thoroughly pleased with a first class musical as it was with the organ 1ecital given in the Metho- dist Episcopal charch last Thursday even- ing by Miss Elizabeth Mac Dowell, of Har- risburg. There is no question about Miss Mac Dowell’s ability as a musician and she isa fine organist. She played Thursday evening to a much more appreciative audi- ence than she did at the first recital here, which was given in April when the church was reopened, for that was a free affair with its usual. indifferent crowd, and all of her hearers were most favorably impressed with her efficiency and expression. The vocal numbers of the program were sung by Miss Hench, soprano, whose voice has always been much admired here; Miss Worley, contralto, and Mr. Kinnard, barytone, all of Harrisburg. Miss Worley, and Mr. Kinnard were the new stars of the company and they won for themselves so much glory that should they ever come back to Bellefonte they will meet with a genuine ovation. Miss Worley’s voice is a splendid one of wide range and her solo Buck’s ‘“‘Come Holy Spirit" was so well re- ceived that she was fairly obliged to repeat Lit at the close of the recital. interesting because the Bellefonte boys won | the first game at Lock Haven several weeks | JOHNSON-SMITH—On Wednesday morn- ing cards were sent out aunouncing the marriage of Miss Ella Cordelia Johnson, youngest daughter of Mr. Joel Johnson, and Mr. Myron David Smith, of St. Johns- bury, Vt. The wedding which was cele- brated Tuesday evening at the Johnson home on east Bishop street was a small family affair on account of the recent death of the ULride’s mother. The reception room was prettily decorated with chrysan- themums, ferns and palms and the cere- mony was performed at eight o'clock by Dr. W. P. Shriner, of the Methodist Episcopal church. The bride wore a be- coming gown of white batiste and was the recipient of many useful presents, for she is highly regarded by a wide circle of ac- quaintances. An informal reception and aollation fol- lowed the ceremony and the young people left Wednesday for a short wedding jour- ney. After Nov. 6th, they will be at home at 37 Spring street, St. Johnsbury, Vt., where Mr. Smith bas a good photo- graphic business. The bride is one of Bellefonte’s most excellent young women. organist of the Methodist church and she has always been such a prominent and kindly factor in church, Sabbath school and home affairs that surely she has com- ing to her the best that life can give. *9e — KELLER-MAYES. —It was indeed a pret- ty October wedding that was celebrated Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George S. Keller, of Houserville, when their eldest daughter, Lucy Marga- ret, was united in marriage to Lewis Frank Mayes, the hustling marble dealer of Eemont. There were more than a hundred guests present and the house was in gala attire with ferns, palms, chrysanthemums and autumn leaves. Rev. A. A. Black, of Boalsburg, performed the ceremony at 4 o’elock and Miss Ruth Bottorf played the wedding march. The bride and groom ‘were attended by Miss Margaret Gray, of Woolrich, maid of honor, and Mr. Harry Long; of Lemont, best man. The bride wore a girlish, pretty gown of white Per- sian lawn trimmed with valenciennes lace, and’ the maid of honor also wore white dawn. After the ceremony a sumptuous wedding supper was Served after which the young people drove to Bellefonte and departed on the 8:31 train for Williamsport. Upon their return they will go to house-keeping at Lemont, where their house is already furnished. er Hicks—RicH.—The marriage of Miss Margaret Rich, daughter of the late Judge Benjamin Rich, to Mr. Charles Hicks, of Williamsport, was celebrated at the home of the bride in Unionville on Wednesday evening at 6 o’clock. The af- fair was very simple and unpretentious be- cause of recent bereavements in the bride’s family. Mr. John Rich, a brother of the bride, was the best man and Miss Alice Henchey was the maid, while dear little Margie McDonald bore the flowers that will strew their path through life, Rev. Scott of the Presbyterian church was the officiating clergyman. Immediately after the ceremony a sup- per was served and Mr. and Mrs. Hicks de- parted on the night train for Buffalo and points in Canada. Upon their return they will reside in Williamsport, where the groom is engaged in the manufacture of furniture. mre Serie LyoN-Cox. — The wedding of Miss Margaret Lyon, of Spring township, to Boyd Cox, of Coleville, on Thursday even- ing, was none the less happy or interesting because only the immediate members of the family were present. Owing to the illness of the groom’s mother the ceremony was performed at her home and it was made as simple as possible. Rev. Edmund E. White, of the Methodist church, joined them in the bonds and an informal recep- tion followed. The bride is a daughter of Wm. Lyon and is a young woman amply qualified to make a home all that it should be. Her hushand is a son of William Cox, who is one of the trusted Morris employees in this place. On Friday evening his fellow members in the Coleville band marched up and gave the young couple a delightful serenade. Sets LEATHERS-—BROWN NUPTIALS. -— On Thursday afternoon, the 24th, a small though joyous wedding was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Leath- ers, in Snow Shoe, when their daughter, Beseie, was united in marriage to Mr. Bert Brown, a fireman on the Beech Creek road. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. T. 8. Faus, of the Methodist church, at 3:30 o'clock. The bride was. gowned in dark blue velvet and after congratulations and a fine supper Mr. and Mrs. Brown left for Buffalo on the evening train.
