He was stepping from a buggy at Pleasant Gap, when the horse started, nnexpectedly, throwing him to the ground and injuring him considerably. —— Attorney Wm. G. Runkle attended a moonlight party in Howard, on Wednes- day evening, and fair Luna, or some other fair creature, seems to have cast a most peculiar spell over him, for he moves along as if he belonged to some far more ethereal sphere than this one.

There was an immense erowd present and the feature of the even- ing was the annual fantastic parade, which was very laughable. Both the Coleville and Plearant Gap bands were in line, the latter blacked np and riding in an eight horse wagon. There were numerous floats, mounted horsemen and women made for the occasion. That Bellefonte turned out well is evident, for there was not a horse to be secured in any of the liveries in town at 6 o’clock Saturday evening. CEADER’S BAKERY BURNED.—Shortly after nine o’clock Tuesday morning Mrs. Sidney Krumrine, who resides in apart- ments above the Krumrine drug store on Allegheny street, discovered fire in the an- nex to Ceader’s bakery, which occupies a portion of the Sands building next door. She gave an alarm at once, but by the time the department got to the scene the flames had spread all over the building and were eating their way along the cornice into the main building. The fire in the annex was easily gotten under control, but in other places it was very difficult. It is a stone structure and as the flames had run along the cornices and bet ween partitions it was several hours before they were finally ex- tinguished. The building was flooded with water: the most of the damage to that por- tion being caused by it. The plastering fell off in nearly all the rooms and the cel- lar, where the bake oven is located, turned into a veritable cistern. Just how the fire originated is not known. Mrs. Toner was making some pas- try in the kitchen and had gone out for a few moments. Upon her return the whole place seemed to be ablaze. Mr. Ceader was in the ice house and William Doll in the hake shop, but the fire spread so rapidly that by the time they got there they could do nothing but undertake the salvage of whatever materials were near. While most of the goods and cases in the store room and the furnishings of the res- taurant were saved, all of the utensils and Ceader’s splendid equipment for catering were lost. The flour, sugar and other ma- terials in the bake shop in the cellar were ruined by the water, so that in all the loss is estimated at about $1,500 on which there is $900 insurance. J. H. Sands is the owner of the property. His loss is about $1,000, fully insured. A few hours after the fire Ceader had the room in the Reynolds bank building for- merly occupied by Sim the Clothier clean- ed out and was doing business again. He will be located there until other quarters can be secured. *oe AN INOPPORTUNE TIME FOR SUCH AN AccIDENT.—Had they been returning from church or from one of the other regular vis- its the one gentleman of the party makes to Bellefonte not much would have been thought of the accident that befell Frank McFarlane and J. €. Ross, on Nittany mountain, Tuesday night of last week; but inasmuch as it was a Republican county convention that they were on their way home from only their goed characters save them from the suspicion of having been contaminated by assoctation with some of the O. B. Joyfuls in town that day. They say it was very dark and not being able to see the road they just drove down over a steep embankment up in the mountain somewhere. Then there was trouble, The team wanted to get out and Frank couldn’t see just how to accommo- date them until Mr. Ross had walked two miles down over the mountain and secured a lantern and a kindly citizen who got them onto the 10ad again, without having suffered any serious damage. — " WITMER—GARMAN.—The wedding of Miss Elizabeth May Garman to Mr. John Witmer, which was celebrated at the home of the bride’s parents, in Benner township, at noon on Tuesday, was bright and happy as an ideal sumuier day and most auspic- ions circumstances could make it.

Brown Jr. sent a pine apple down that beat the water melon clear out of its class. It was 16 inches high and weighed 5 lbs 2 oz. Such a monster would attract marked at- tention anywhere else than at Brown’s grocery, but there it is only part of every- thing that is big, except the prices. As it is with the pine apple so it is with all the other produce Ed has for sale—the largest to be found anywhere and the prices inva- riably the smallest. Li al ei George Murphy a route agent for the Adams Express Co. lost a pocket book containing $55 at the fancy dress party in the armory last Thursday evening. ~ Mr. Murphy was not dancing. He was merely a spectator .and recalled having had his wallet when he purchased his ticket at the door. After returning to his hotel he missed it. It ‘is not probable that Mr. Murphy’s pocket was picked at thearmory, though he might have dropped his wallet at the door or on the floor, where it could have been picked up by outsiders or fallen into the hands of the flock of vultures that swarms into the armory early in the morn- ings after such affairs with the hope of se- curing things that do not helong to them.

The bar of red hot § iron made such ‘a, wound as it ran through his leg that it was absolutely impossible to effect its healing. The leg was amputated at the knee on Saturday. ; Gable’s hands, that were so badly burned in his frantic efforts to pull the iron out of his leg, can he saved and their amputation will not be necessary, unless some unfor- seen trouble develops.
