tor of the A. M. E. church of this place,
has been assigned to Haven chapel, Philips-
burg. Rev. J. M. Wilkes, who was the.
pastor there, has been transferred to Greens-
burg. '
——A little son of William Rider met
with a very painful accident at his home at
Scotia one day last week. He had been
given a clothes pin to play with and stuck
it in his mouth, of course. Then he fell off
the chair he was sitting on and landed on
his head on the floor with the result that
the clothes pin tore several of his teeth
loose from the lower jaw.
——The action of council in rescinding
the order prohibiting burning leaves on the
streets is indeed a sensible one. The San
Jose scale that has been doing more to kill
the trees in Bellefonte than any other
enemy they have is encrusted on many of
the fallen leaves and unless they are burn-
ed the scale will not be destroyed.
——It is a little Mate for snakes but
George Eberhart dispatched one last Thurs-
day that proves that they are still abroad
in the land. He was on the mountain back
of the chain works “when a black snake 4ft
9in long appeared in his path. “Pappy”’
had just killed an 81b wild tarkey and was
feeling equal to any emergency so the reptile
didn’t last long.
——Malcolm Bullock fell off a porch at
his home on east High street and broke his
upper jaw one day last week. As the child
is only three years old it was quite a diffi-
cult matter to treat him properly for it.
A plate was at first put in to hold the
fragments in place, but the child worked
it about so that it did no*good. Then he
was taken to Dr. Hayes’ laboratory and
holes hored clear ‘through the jaw bone.
Into these Dr. Tate, the dentist, wove gold
wire in suck a way as to firmly hold all the
pieces and the little sufferer i is getting along
very nicely now.
.——The Y. M.C. A. was fortunate in
securing Rev. Horace Lincoln Jacobs, of
Altoona, to address the anniversary meet-
ing and reassembling of the Association
which will be held Sunday evening in the
Lutheran charch. On Sunday morning
Rev. Jacobs will preach in the Methodist
Episcopal chureh here as Dr. Shriver, in
order that Mr. Jacobs can be here, will
exchange pulpits with him and preach both
morning and evening inthe First Metho-
dist church in Altoona. There will be no
services in the Methodist church in the
evening, for the congregation will join'in
the union services of the anniversary.
——C. H. McLain bas resigned his posi-
tion with the Central railroad and is going
back to Jersey Shore, his old home, to
manage a well established store which he
recently purchased. ’Tisa pity that Belle-
fonte is not having an Oak Grove or some
other kind of a bonanza being built near
it for it needs all of the citizens of the Mec-
Lain type that it has and begrudgingly
gives up one of them to another community.
No one begrudges Mr. and Mrs. MoLain
their opportunity, though it is a good one,
and everyone hopes they will strike it rich
but: we are sorry that it did not anchor
them here. Toe} expect to leave on Tpes-
day.

THE CORNER STONE OF PETRIKEN HALL
LAip.—Sunday afternoon was ideal for the
important ceremony that was to be per-
formed in Bellefonte. 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.

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.

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.

A TRAIN STRUCK THEM.--W. M. Rich-
ards and his brother from Port Matilda had
a narrow escape at Philipsburg on Friday

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.

——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.

——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.

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.

has always been such a prominent and
kindly factor in church, Sabbath school

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.

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.

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.

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.

—Mrs. W. L, Daggett returned from Baltimore
on Tuesday ; having been with Mr. Daggett ever
since he underwent his serious operation in
Johns Hopkin’s a month ago. She brought the
cheering information that his condition is very
satisfactory to both physicians and nurses and
that when she left he was able to take afew steps,
a feat it was hardly expected he would be in con-
dition to do until at least eight weeks after the
operation.

delphia Monday morning to place the embryonic
terror of Thomas street in a hospital, where we
all hoped they would be able to do something that
will relieve the strain that threatens to make him
walk lame all of his life. Several years ago he
caught his foot in a Reynolds Ave., board-walk
and twisted his leg so that he has been lame evar
since. He is such a bright, clever youngster
that we all wished for the best until Wed-

soon as possible, even before they took him to

had been in Centre county since Sept. 9th left for
his home on Monday morning. He is a member
of the well known Houser family of whom there
are so many in this’ community and as he left
here in 1871 it was natural that he should enjoy
the trip back to old scenes that were familiar to
his boyhood. He said before leaving that he had
had a nice time and enjoyed the vacation very
much, though he was sorry that he did not have |
time to get around among all of hiv friends. This
fact he regretted very much, as there were many
he would like to have spent a day or more with:
before returning had want of time not prévented
it. The thing that impressed Mr. Houser most in |
Bellefonte was the match works. He inspected
the plant and carried a box of matches back to
show his Nebraska friends what fine little light
sticks are made here. His wish in parting was:
“Good bye to all. May you continue to prosper.
Come and see us, We will treat you right.” And
we believe he was sincere in al! of it.
