GEPHART Esq. WELCOMED HoME.-~In a very informal, though intense- ly enthusiastic, way Bellefonte turned ont on Saturday evening to welcome home a man who has done more than any other, within recent years, to build up the busi-- ness interests of this community. It has been almost wholly due to the in- dividual effort of J. Wesley Gephart that the Bellefonte furnace and the Scotia ore mines are in successful operation to-day, he was the promoter and builder of the Central R. K. of Pa. and his faith in Belle- fonte’s resources and energy in the direc- tion of enlisting outside capital in their development have resulted in the purchase of the old Valentine iron works and all the ore rights of that pioneer ind ustry in the Nittany valley. This means employment to a thousand or more men in Centre coun- ty and it was but a fitting expression of appreciation that vented itself in the dem- onstration on Saturday evening. Mr. Gepbart bad been in New York car- rying his big deal to consummation and when the word reached here that it had | been successful there was a spontaneous outburst of gratitude that called for some public entertainment. A large banquet was first spoken of, but those who knew the man best knew that he was very much averse to any ostentatious display, in fact when a similar affair bad been proposed on a former occasion he sat down on it most effectually. Many plans were suggested, but finally it was decided that a very in- formal little reception would be given him. Something, the very simplicity of which would prove its genuineness. Even this it was feared would prove distasteful to the modist gentleman of whom so little is heard and yet by whom so much is accom- plished, but inasmuch as it was the act of friends and veighbors it was decided to go ahead on the assumption that no man could be offended by such an unfeigned compli- ment. It was all arranged in less than half a day, consequently the crowd that thronged High street, when -the train bearing the honored townsman drew iuto the station, would bave more than pleased a Prince Henry. The band was playing, everybody was cheering and the lurid glare of red lights lit up the streets clear up to Mr. Gephart’s home on east Linn street. Mayor Edmund Blanchard, representing the town, and Judge John G. Love, representing the Board cf Trade, were at the station ; bav- ing previously corralled L. T. Munson, one of the resident incorporators of the new Nittany Iron Co. They were not long in discovering Mr. Gepbart, who was made to understand that there was no escape aud he was conducted to a waiting carriage. Mayor Blanchard entered it with him and Judge Love escorted Mr. Munson to an- other carriage, both drawn by spanking teams of four. The band wheeled about and started up High street and the ear- riages followed. Though very short the parade had all the other requisites of a rium phal pageant. The streets were lined with cheering people all the way to the Gephart home. There the Mayor made a brief speech of welcome to Mr. Gephart and introduced Judge Love who spoke more at length on the significance of the event. Though very much fatigued by the work of the week Mr. Gephart replied in a hap- py vein, expressing his great sense of satis- faction at having given up the law for the more strenuous manufacturing business. It was all over in less than an hour, yet it was oue of the most sincere, and for that reason we say the. most appreciative, ex- pressions that the people of Bellefonte have ever given vent to. Noman deserved it more than J. Wesley Gephart and there is ev ery 1eason why he should be proud of the unaffected gratitude of his friends and neighbors, as shown on Saturday night. y es ie dips A FEAST OF DAYS.—On Tuesday, Wed- n esday and Thursday of next week there will a big fair and festival in Petriken hall, the proceeds of which will b> used to purchase chairs for the auditorium.

Snyder's millinery opening, which was made under such favorable conditions yesterday morning, continues to-day when more people, than visited her fashionable place on Bishop street during the first day, are expected. Competent judges are of the opinion that Miss Snyder's display of spring hats and bonnets far ex- ceeds anything ever seen in Bellefonte. If you baven’t been there you should see the sight to-day. FR LN AL ——Mr. John Larimer and Miss Emily Furey surprised their friends, on Thursday evening, when they announced their mar- riage, which had taken place at Milesburg that evening, at the home of Rev. E. C. Houck, pastor of the Baptist church. The groom is a son of Rush Larimer and has been employed at the Globe, where he is valued as a popular and intelligent clerk. His bride is a daughter of Morris E. Furey, the well-known Spring township farmer, and is a bright, prepossessing young woman. ——A young Bellefonte dry goods mer- chant took one of the local milliners for a drive on Sunday. They thought it would be fun to go up to the clairvoyant’ along Spring creek to have their fortunes told and so it was until they found that they had a narrow foot-log to cross, ere they could present themselves before the mys- terious person who dissipates the clouds that obscure our future. The young man walked boldly out onto the log about ten feet, but a strange giddiness stole over him so that he had to drop astride of it to keep from falling into the water. His com- panion gave one of those little feminine shrieks—a sort of opening day ‘“‘ain’t it lovely” expression—but that didn’t help the situation. Gush didn’t go. Willie was too giddy for that and he squeezed that log until it began to bark with pain. This attracted the attention of Jim Hale, a farmer who lives about a mile and a-half distant, and he hurried to the rescue. Then they all held hands and got over in safety. SE FAUBLE—ScHLOSS N UPTIALS—'Theugh the wedding, on Tuesday afternoon, of Miss Blanch Loeb Fauble, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Martin Fauble, and Wil- liam Wolf Schloss was intended to be a quiet family affair without any ostentation or show it was one of perfeet appointments and much merriment. The guests were limited to the members of the two families and the colors chosen for tha wedding were white and green, The entire first floor of the Fauble homie, on east High street, was artistically dec- orated with Easter lilies, smilax, palms aud ferns. Miss Mabel Fauble, the bride’s sister whostudied music in Berlin, played the wedding march from Lohengrin aud at 5 o'clock the bridal party entered the reception 100m where Rabbi J. Leon- ard Levi, of Pittsburg, performed the cere- mony. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Jennie Fauble, of Harrisburg, as maid of honor and the groom’s brother, Leon Schloss, of Baltimore, was best mau. The bride wore a handsome gown of white crepe de chene and carried a bouquet of Bride's roses. The maid of honor was dressed in white voile over taffeta and her bouquet was of maiden hair fern. The ceremony was followed by a sumptuous supper served by Ceader, and the bride and groom departed on the 8:16 train for their wedding journey. They will spend their honeymoon in New York and Atlantic city and will eventually make their home at 1934 West York street, Philadelphia. The bride is one of a family of accomplish- ed and attractive young women. She isa graduate of the training school for nurses of the University hospital and was fora year or two head nuise of the Mont Sinai hospital in Philadelphia. She resigned her position on the announcement of her en- gagement and the collection of beautiful gifts which were displayed in an upper room at the wedding evidenced in some measure her geneial favoritism. Mr. Schloss is a traveling salesman for a whole- sale clothing establishment in Philadelphia and isa prominent member of the fraternity. as well as clever and well to do. The out of town guests were the groom’s mother, Mrs. Schloss, his two sisters Miss Mabel and Miss Retta, Kador Schloss, wife and daughter, Catharine, and Mrs. J oseph Elias and her son Justain, all of Philadel- phia, and Leon Schloss and wife, of Balti- more. . ROBERT McCALMONT EXPIRES SUDDEN- LY.—The uncertainty of life was most strikingly exemplified in the unexpected death of Robert McCalmont, which occur- ‘red at the home of his sister, on north Thomas street, at 2 o’clock Tuesday morn- ing. While he had not been well as usual lately his condition gave him no concern and on Monday evening he was at Judge Furst’s office attending to firm settlements when he noticed a peculiar sensation creep- ing over him. He spoke of it and at once got into his conveyance to be taken home, bat lapsed into unconsciousness before reaching there. Though everything pos- sible was done to restore him he lingered in that condition until 2 o'clock, when he passed away. It is supposed to have been caused by a clot of blood on the brain. Robert MeCalmout was born on the old McCalmont home in Marion township on January 2nd, 1841. Being a son of James McCalmont, who was considered one of the most opulent farmers in the valley, he re- mained at home, helping on the farms, until about seventeen years ago, when he left for Minnesota. He was there nearly a year and upon his return was taken into the firm of McCalmont & Co. which had meanwhile been formed by the late Col. Wm. Shortlidge. Robert's connection with the firm continued until the property was purchased by the American Co. and since that time he has not been engaged in business. Surviving bim are his brother James, of State College, and Mrs. Rose Shortlidge and Miss Jane McCalmont, of this place. Services were held at the house vester- day morning at 9:30 after which the body was taken to Jacksonville for interment in the family lot there. I l I Mgrs.

JOSEPH STEINKIRCHNER.—An ill- vess of four week's duration terminated in the death of Mrs. Mary Steinkirchner at her home in Bush Addition, on Saturday morning.
