EE SAAS. Bellefonte, Pa., November 29, 190l. P. GRAY MEEK, - - Eprror nm —— Terms oF Susscrierion.—Until further notice this paper will be furnished to subscribers at the following rates : Paid strictly in advance........ccovevnees $1.00 Paid before expiration of year.......... 1.50 Paid after expiration of year............ Impending War on Trusts. There are generous promises heing made freely these days of a legal crusade against the trusts in the near future. The organi: zation of the Northern Securities company, which is the legal title of the great railroad trust recently chartered in New Jersey, ap- pears to be the straw which has hroken the camel’s back. That and one or two other colossal combinations are said to bave ex- cited the enmity of the President and un- der his instructions the Attorney General will act. The old SHERMAN law is said to be the instrument of attack. : It is not surprising that the organization of the vast railroad trust has excited alarm It contemplates vast conquests in the in- dustrial and commercial world. Its capit- alization is gigantic, $400,000,000 in stocks and as much more in bonds with a power of expansion without limit or restraint. With such a cleavage in the industrial af- fairs of the country it aims to compass the control of all the great transportation sys- tems. These pians fulfilled it would soon be able to command contiol of the govern- ment. We are not surprised, either, that the billion and a-balf dollar steel trust is to be exempt from the hostile operations of the government. The charter for that industrial mammoth was drawn by the Attorney General and naturally he will pot attack it. But he may point the way to others to proceed. That is to say it is not unreason- able to assume that the same legal proc- esses which avail to nullify the charter and cripple the operations of the railroad trust ought to achieve the same resul ts if directed against the steel trust. ——The man who rushed into the WATCHMAN office a few mornings ago and said : . *‘I seen you done a very had thing in saying that the judge done right who sentenced four boys to a house of correction because they wouldn’t go to school’ is evidently the same fellow who ‘‘seen his duty and done it.” ——Building battleships that are to cost between five and six million dollars and then inventing a new explosive, five cents worth of which will blow the bloomin’ battleships to Bremen and back is just the kind of profitable business the United States government might be expected to be in. Tree Blown Off Church Tower. For Fifteen Years it Had Been One of the Curi- osities of Utica. Utica, Nov. 24.—A tree which for over eighteen years had thrived on the top of the north tower of the Church of the Ree- onciliation was blown down Saturday after- noon. The tree, which was believed to be of mountain ash, a variety rarely seen in this locality, bad heen the subject of ocea- sional illustrated mag zine articles, and to visitors Uticans bave told with pride the origin of the little shrub. It had been . one of the curiosities of the city. The church is built of stone and is the only Universalist chuich in the city. About fifteen years ago. a little shrub was noticed growing from between the many crevices on the top of the tower. 1n summer it was covered with foliage, aud when the little tree matured, red berries followed the unfolding of the leaves. Large quantities of ditt had been deposited by storms between the cracks. The rains kept°the accumulation moistened and the tree prospered until it reached a height of about five feet. The tower was covered with the tree’s branches. The roots ex- tended through the crevices until the church elders feared that it would disturb the masonry and force the stones out of position. Some wanted the tree removed, but the church members had become at- tached to the odd sight and all attempts to remove it were over-ruled. Two years ago the water began to leak through the tower and the stones were covered with tin. It was then that the tree hegan to decline. The dirt in the cracks did not furnish the tree with nour- ishment because the tin 100f prevented the rain from reaching the roots. The tree declined and last summer had scarcely any foliage. During the storm Saturday the tree was uprooted, the tin roof torn away and the tiee toppled over into Seneca street, sixty feet below. It is generally believed that some bird dropped the mountain ash berry while on the tower. Undertaker Was Ahead Of Time. Man He Wanted To Bury Declines To Die WILKESBARRE, Pa., Nov. 24.—Under- taker McLaughlin, of this city, received word that a man named Gordon had died in an outbuilding at Hanover township. He drove to the place with a hearse and a rough coffin. ‘The man was found alive hut very sick. The undertaker said he would take charge of him anyhow. He was put in the hearse and on top of the coffin was brought to a hospital © in this city. The hospital physicians say the man will recover.

NOVEMBER QUARTER SEssioNs.—The first week of the November quarter sessions court adjourned last evening after hav- ing disposed of all the cases on the cal- endar Monday, with Judge Love presid- ing. The morning session was taken up with the usual routine of court business, viz : the presentation of petitions, hearing of 1eports of constables, ete. S. B. Row, of Philipsburg, was appointed foreman of the grand jury and after that body was charged it went to work at once on the nineteen bills of indictment presented to it. Cases were taken up as follows : J. Vietor Royer. who has heen a student in the law offices of Fortney and Walker for the past two years, was, upon motion of C. M. Bower, president of the board of examiners, admitted to the prac- tice of law in the several courts of the county. Mr. Royeris a young man whose character is likely to leave a very honor- able impress on the bar of this county. Conscientious and considerate he has made hosts of friends since locating in Bellefonte and they will unite with those of his home village of Spring Mills in wishing him a great measure of success in his profession. The first case called was Com. vs Harry J. Shuey, prosecutor J. Kusuer, charge for- gery and obtaining goods on false pretense. Two cases. This is the forgery case from Ferguson township, where the defendant issued two forged checks, one on F. L. | Black and one on W. E. Meek, and passed one on the prosecutor, getting in return some goods and money, and the other to Mr. Foster, getting the money on it. The defendant waived the finding of the grand jury and plead guilty. The father baving made restitution and the young man not being of a very strong mind, and a petition being presented signed by some of the best citizéns of that community, counsel for the defendant asked that sentence be suspend- ed, which the court held under advisement until Wednesday. The young man was examined by a physician who pronounced him not too dull to know the difference be- tween right and wrong, whereupon the court sentenced him to the Huntingdon reformatory. Commonwealth vs Geo. L. Spangler, of Eagleville, who was indicted for selling liquor without license and to minors. He entered his plea of guilty and waived the finding of the grand jury. then presented a petition which was signed by a large number cf substantial citizens of Liberty township setting forth the fact that they thought that justice has heen meted out to this defendant by {his arrest, and that he had stopped the illegal prac- tice for which he was indicted and asked that the court suspend sentence. The court disposed of the case, suspending sen- tence for the present and directing the de- fendant to pay the costs, as well as stating that in the event of his resumption of this illegal dealing out of intoxicants he would be called up and given the full penalty of the law. The first case on the civil list for the week, James Nolan vs Rosa Pierce, of Phil- ipsburg, being an appeal from the judg- ment rendered by a justice of the peace and from which an appeal was taken, was con- tinued. The case of H. M. Danning vs Ann W, Beddle, appeal, plea “‘non assumpsit,’’ was settled by the parties in interest. The case of Mary S. Thomas vs Thos. Butler and Burdine Butler was continued on the ground that one of the defendants had pneumonia and could uot tein at- tendance upon the trial of the case. Terms of settlement were agreed upon in the case of O. Perry Jones use of Kate A. Miller ys Jane Gowland. y Commonwealth vs. Harry Bottorf, charged by his wife, Mrs. Bottorf, with as- sault and battery, and aggravated assanlt and battery with intent to kill. The de- fendant entered his plea of ‘‘not guilty.” It appeared from the evidence in this cause that on Saturday, the 16th inst., the de- fendant drove to Snow Shoe and that it was about G6 o'clock in the evening he returned; that Mis. Bottorf heard him coming in the lane and that she supposed he was drunk ; that she went to meet him and found that he was in a drunken stupor and that she Jed him to their home which is above Run- ville a short distance ; that when they got to their home Bottorf assaulted her, choked her and fired two shots at her with a re- volver ; that he also pulled a lot of hair out of her head. The defendant testified to the fact that he didn’t remember a single thing that had taken place that night as he was so drunk that he knew nothing. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty on the first count, heing assault and battery. Bottorf was sentenced to pay costs of $25 and four months in the county jail. Sentence was suspended in the case of Commonwealth ve. Thos. Holt who was in- ‘dicted by his wife, Clara Holt and Sarah Spicer for assault and battery. He was di- rected to pay the costs or arrange the same. The Court suspended sentence in the case of Commonwealth vs. Walter Cathcart who entered his plea of guilty to the charge of assault and battery. He was directed to pay the costs between this and January term of court. In the case of Commonwealth vs. John Erb who was indicted for assault and bat- tery upon the person of Jake Herman ; the grand jury ignored the bill and placed the costs of prosecution upon the prosecutor. | A nol pros was filed and the costs paid in the Commonwealth vs. Orie Showers who was indicted by Frank Irwin on the charge of carrying concealed and deadly weapons. Jacob Swires, who was indicted for vio- lating the pure food laws, and in which James Faust was the prosecutor, paid the costs of prosecution and also a fine of fifty dollars. The case of Commonwealth vs. Jacob Lutz, one of the overseers of the poor of Benner township, who was indicted for as- His counsel | sault and battery upon the person of Susan Gingerich and the jury after being out for twenty minutes returned a verdict of not guilty and it we the costs upon the county. It appeared from the evidence upon the trial of the ease tbat Mrs. Ging- erich, was a charge upon the poor district of Benner township and that she was in the custody of the defendant in this case ; that some of her household goods, etc., were in the possession of the overseer and when she went for them he would not deliver them to her. She alleged that the de- fendant used violent means in putting her out of the house, and that he threw her off the porch injuring her severely. The defendant testified that he did not treat her cruelly and used no more force than was necessary. Calvin Stiles, of Philipshurg, who was indicted for aggravated assault and battery with intent to kill, and with larceny from the person of Jeremiah Roan, changed his plea from not guilty to that of ‘‘guilty”’ after the evidence on the part of the Com- monwealth was all in. From the evidence in the case, this defendant on or about the 4th of October last was in company with the prosecutor, Mr. Roan and a Mr. George and were indulging very freely with intox- icants. Later in the evening Stiles and Roan were seen going down the Penua. R. R., toward Clearfield and about 6 o'clock the chief of police of Philipshurg was in- formed that some one had assaulted Mr. Roan and that he was Iving on the R. R. track. He at once went to the place and found that Mr. Roan was bruised up con- siderably and stated that Stiles was the guilty party; that he was robbed of his money amounting to ahoutsixteen dollars or more. The policeman then went in search of Stiles and found him in the Barnes house, and at once took him in cus- tody. The next morning Mr. Roan identi- fied Stiles as being the man who assaulted him and took from him his money. Most of the money had been recovered hy the policeman when he made a search of the defendant. Sentenced to four years and four months in the western penitentiary. Harry Miller, colored, who was indicted for malicious mischief was acquitted. The evidence was to the effect that some time ahout the first of August some one had turned the switch on the C. R. R. tracks below the depot in Bellefonte and that when the night train came up it was partly derailed. Some time afterwards, about two weeks, it seems that coun- ty detective Rightnour took young Miller to superintendent Gephart's office, where he, (Miller) stated that he had turn- ed the switch half way and could not get it back into place. He also stated the same facts to Mr. Walsh and to Squire Keichline. The defense was to the effect that Mr. Rightnour told Miller that if he would go and tell Mr. Gepbart that be did it he would very likely drop the matter, and upon the advice of the county detect" ive he alleges that he confessed;to a erime- that he was uot guilty of. : The first case called on the civil list was that of Hanscom vs Jacob Quiggle, which was an appeal from the judgment rendered by a justice of the peace. The defendant nor his council appeared and a verdict was taken in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $54.68. A voluntary non suit was entered in the case of W. H. Garbrick vs A. J. Gaibrick. This was also an appeal from the judgment rendered by a justice of the peace. The report of S. Kline Woodring Esq., auditor in the Geo. W. Hoover estate, was confirmed by the court. In the case of John G. Dubbs vs John Herman to recover for a ton and a half of phosphate which prosecutor had gold to de- fendant, Herman said the sale was con- ditional that his land-lord, Adam Wagner, would pay half, but the latter had pre- viously notified Dubbs that he would not do =o then suit was brought to recover the half which Herman had declined to pay. Verdict for prosecator in sum of $17.11. D. Z. Frain vs the C. R. R. of Pa. Suit to recover for ties delivered to the defend- ants at Nittany. He claimed pay for 100 No. 1 and 60 No. 2 ties, but the inspection made it 41 No. 1, 105 No. 2 and 16 rejected. Mr. Frain claimed that the inspection had been too close. The defendants made a tender of $42 65 but it was refused and suit brought for $55. Verdict for defendant for $51.50. After the jurors for the MeCalmont-Rish- el case were drawn all the otheis were dis- charged from further attendance at court and that case was taken up on Wednesday afternoon. : The case of McCalmont & Co. vs John Rishel, the Beuner township farmer, to re- cover $110, the price of a McCormick bind- er they allege to bavesold to him last July, was taken up Wednesday evening and giv- en to the jury at noon yesterday. Mr. Rishel set up the defense that he had not act- ually purchased the machine, but had only taken it on trial. The jury was still out at 5 o'clock last evening but a few mo- ments later came in with a verdict of $112.- 69 for McCalmont & Co.

The Grand Inquest of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, inquiring for the County of Centre, in all matters relating to the same. do respectfully report, that they have acted upon nineteen bills of indictment of which sixteen were found true bills, and three were ignored We beg leave further to report: That we have visited and inspected the county build- ings and find them in good condition.

Awful Resuits of Starting a Fire With Kero- sene. PITTSBURG, November 25.—Four per- sons were hurned to death and two seri- ously injured in a fire at 4:30 o'clock this morning, which destroyed the residence of J. G. Miller, on Charles street, Knoxville, a suburb of this city. The names of the dead are: Rose Miller, aged 23 years, terrible burned, and died on the way to the hospital; Amelia Miller, aged 19 years, suffocated by the smoke; Amanda Miller, aged 16 years, suffocated; Sylvia Miller, aged 9 years, suffocated. The injured are, J. G. Miller, the father, who jumped from the second story win- dow, leg broken, and burned, will recov- er; Mis. Miller, badly burned and on verge of nervous prostration. Two other daugh- ters, aged 11 and 13 years, escaped with- out injury. The fire was caused by the eldest daugh- ter, Rose, pouring kerosene in the stove to start the fire for breakfast. The oil in the can ignited and the explosion which fol- lowed scattered the burning oil over the room. The flames spread so quickly that Mr. Miller was forced from the second- story window after rescuing his wife and two of his younger daughters. Rose was burned almost to a crisp and died before reaching the hospital. The daughters were overcome by the smoke; their bodies were found in their rooms after the fire had been extinguished. Mrs. Miller was just recovering from a severe illness, and is almost distracted over the terrible affair. Fears are’ entertained that she will not survive the shock. A Series of Tragedies. MARIETTA, Ohio, November 25.—Rob- ert Wilkin, a prosperous farmer living near | Beverly, this county, in an intoxicated condition last night, was beating his little son with a board when his wife picked up the child and ran with it to her father’s home nearby. Wilkin followed with a gun and when his wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Stokes, came on their front porch to see what the trouble was, Wilkin shot them both. An 18 year old son of Stokes then procured a gun and shot Wil- kin dead. The elder Stokes will die before morning and Mis Stokes’ condition is serious. The Stokes family is very promi- nent and wealthy. A Lack of Information. From the Crowley (La.) News. The slowness of the Samar islanders to believe in their pacification is accounted for by the limited circulation of Republic- an newspapers in that region. Hublershuarg. Rev. Geo. S. Bright, of Shelbyville, Ohio, is spending a few days at the home of his father-in-law, E. L. Bergstresser. On account of the inclement weather Sun- day Rev. Crow was unable to make the trip to Maish Creek. Mrs. Julia Brown returned home after a serious illness at Millheim. She is slightly convalescent and is being cared for by Mrs. Robb, of Eagleville, Charles Kass, a traveling salesman for the Jayne Medical company, spent several days at the home of his sister, Mrs. H. I. Crow. Mrs. David Vonada is seriously ill at this writing. Old age has affected her and she is. Suds wf of side A Union Thanksgiving service was held in the Evangelical church Thursday morn= ing. Wm. Bell, of Bellefonte, helped his son- in-law F. L. Kessinger to butcher last week. Spring Mills. Edwin Ruhl the village landlord, reports a satisfactory business. Mrs. Mary Greuoble, after an illness of six weeks or two months, is slowly convalescing. Mrs. W. R. Donachy, of Lewisburg, who has been visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. B. Hering, for the last ten days, has re- turned home. ! Hunters return to our village hy twos and threes, very few make any flattering reports. Rabbits appear to be quite numerous on the mountains, but the larger quadrupeds seem very scarce——or else have transferred them- selves to safer quarters. F. C. Hettinger, of Blairsville, but former- ly of our village, was here last week visiting relatives and friends. Mr. Hettinger wasa student in our railroad station for a con- siderable time, but left several years for pastures new, and by close attention to the business has been advanced to the position of regular station agent at Blairsville. For some days past, we in this neighbor- hood, were apprehensive of a water famine, as many of our wells and cisterns were ex- ceedingly low, and a few about dry, and fears were entertained that winter would set in suddenly, and of course in that case a wa- ter famine would be inevitable. But happily the recent rains has averted that calamity, and we are now all as serene and happy as huge sunflowers. C. A. Krape of the sh oe emporium has just received a large invoice of first quality rub- ber goods, purchased ata bankrupt sale in. New York, of course the goods were slaugh- tered. In consequence Mr. Krape is selling rubber boats and shoes at low prices.’ Mr. Krape is also our postmaster and the office occupies part of the store room. B ut no matter how thronged the store is with cus- tomers or how urgent the business is, there is never a moments delay in the mailing de- parment. His efficient and affuble deputy is always at her post. What has become of the question of light- ing our streets, has it died out? or are we waiting for some belated pilgrim and his duleina, to step into a mud hole or off the boardwalk, and then making the surround- ing atmosphere sulphurous with astounding expletives. Of course then we’ll agitate the question vigorously—with determination, and proceed with all possible haste to——pro- crastinate as usual. And there too, is the foot log bridge over Penns creek. The floor- ing of this bridge is in a deplorable, if not villainous condition and absolutely unsafe. The flooring has been patched and repatched with nearly as many pieces of boards as Josephs coat had colors. I presume we will wait patiently until some visitor or villager breaks through, and unexpectedly receives a cold water bath: Then we'll discuss the question of a new flooring and finally put on another patch—possibly two patches and call the job finished. :
