LoNDON, Aug. 17.—The Boer generals,
Botha, DeWet and Delarey, who reached
here yesterday from South Africa,left Lon-
don at half past 9 o’clock this morning for
Cowes, Isle of Wight, to see King Edward,
on hoard the royal yacht, Victoria and Al-
bert.
The hour of the generals’ departure from
London was kept secret, consequently the
streets wera deserted when the three gen-
erals, accompanied by their secretaries, but
by none of the ladies of their party, started
for Cowes.
Upon arriving at Southampton, the Boer
generals were welcomed on board the com-
mander-in-chief’s yacht, Wildfire, hy Earl
Roberts and General Lord Kitchener. They
immediately visited King Edward on hoard
the Victoria and Albert,and were then tak-
en for a trip around the fleet in the Wild-
fire. They returned to London Saturday
evening, accompanied by Earl Roberts and
General Jord Kitchener, who took leave of
1 the Boers at Waterloo station.
In an interview with a representative of
* | the Associated Press, General Botha’s secre-
tary described the visit to his majesty. He
said that when the Boer generals boarded
the royal yacht, King Edward came for-
* | ward and, after they had been introduced,
shook hands with each of them. The Boers
were highly pleased with their reception.
After a brief and informal talk of a non-po-
litical character with King Edward, they
were introduced to Queen Alexandria and
5 | Princess Victoria.
The reception by his majesty lasted a
quarter of an hour. The king spoke of the
gallant and brave manner in which the
generals had fought through the long and
ardous campaign,and of *‘the consideration
and kindness’’ with which the generals had
treated British wounded. His majesty ex-
pressed his warm wishes for their future.
It was at the king’s suggestion that the
Boers took the trip around the fleet on board
the Wildfire.
Bloomsburg's Centennial.
Bloomsburg, Columbia county, Pa., was
founded in 1802, and her citizens are mak-
ing great preparations for a grand celebra-
tion to close the hundredth year since the

union meeting in the M. E. church, con-
ducted by the clergy, and music by a choir

with contests in the morning, and a great
parade in the afternoon. There will be

palace of illusions, an exhibition of wire-
less telegraphy, an historical museum,
beautiful decorations, and many other at-
tractions. Excursion rates have been ar-
ranged with all railroads leading to Blooms-
burg, and it will be one of the grandest
demonstrations ever witnessed in this por-
tion of the state.
Going To Europe.
Charles M. Schwab Tells the Reporters a Few
Things.
NEw YORK, Angust 19.—Charles M.
Schwab, the president of the United States
Steel corporation, arrived here this even-
ing. He was accompanied by his brother,
Joseph Schwab, and his private secretary.
He stepped briskly from the car and as he
did so he said to a number of newspaper
men present.
‘Now, gentlemen, I am going to tell
|.you three thing, and Idon’t want you. to
ask me any further questions. In the first
place; ITdon’t ldok: like a sick man. In
the second place, I feel the necessity of a
rest, and I am going to take one. In the
third place, I am not going to resign, and
have no intention of retiring from the presi-
dencyof the United States Steel corporation.
‘Are you going to Europe?’’ was asked
Mr. Schwab.
“‘Yes,’’ he replied; ‘‘but don’t ask me
any more questions; that’s all I have to
say.”
ADDITIONAL LOCALS
The shooting occurred shortly after 6
o'clock. Five deputies were on their way
to shaft No. 1. of the Lehigh Coal and Nav-
igation company, just outside of the town.
In the centre of the town they were met by
a number of the strikers, who began per-
suading them not to go to the colliery.
The offiesrs did not stop but kept on their
way and tried to prevent any trouble. The
strikers, it ie said, then began to abusethe
men and followed them nearly op to the
colliery. There are conflicting stories as to
what actually brought on the clash, but

shot was heard and Sharp dropped to the:

Attention has been directed, on seyeral oc-
casions, to the methods the large book con-
cerns ' employ to influence directors in
their selection of text books. The work
that has been done in several districts in
this county recently gives color to the ru-
mors that there is corruption and a politic-
al clique pulling together in the interests
of certain corporations. It was openly
charged that friends of Supt. C. L. GRAM-
LEY had offered money, not only for votes
for him for county superintendent, but also
to draw off certain opposition that was re-
garded as prejudicial to his interests. And
now it appears that the same gang is’ tak-
ing more than a good citizen's interest in
the purchase of books in districts outside of
Bellefonte. If they are not inspired by the
hope of a share of the profits, then our diag-
nosis is not correet, bunt to the ordinary
mind it looks very much as if the machine
that tried to buy Supt. GRAMLEY’S way
into office,is now trying to force the way to
the treasuries of the school districts of Cen-
tre county. By axiom 1‘‘things that equal

RECENT WEDDINGS, — Weddings in the
afterpart of summer are so unusual that
they are sure to attract attention and when
they are celebrated in the presence of one
hundred and fifty guests they are note-
worthy. ‘Such ‘was the marriage of Miss
Caroline Witmer and William H. Huon-
singer, which took place at the home of
the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William
Witmer, of Buffalo Run, on Wednesday at
Riehl Benny : pet :
Rev. Edwin L Eslinger, of the Halt
Moon M.: E. church, pronounced the: cere-
niony just at twelve o'clock. ‘The maid of
honor was the bride’s sister, Miss Jennie
Witmer. Another sister, Miss Annie Wit-
mer, and Miss Mary Hicklen, of this place,
were the attractive little flower girls. Mr.
Thomas Tressler, of Wilmerding, was best
man. A fine wedding breakfast was
served and the young couple left on: the

THE WILLIAMS REUNION.—THe weath:!
éf wis fine, there was ‘an 'abtindance of
everything, good to eat and a Targe and
happy crowd ab: the third annual reunion
of-the-Williams tribe; which was “held in
the grove on former gopnty treasurer John
Q. Miles’ place near Martha Furnace, on
Saturday. If there bad beem any doub$
in any one’s mind as to whether eng h
impottance attached to the event to La
rant the stopping of all but dne of the pas-
senger trains on the Valley at the grove
that day it must have been promptly
dispelled when the size of the crowd was
seen. There must have been a thousand
Williams; and their sisters and their
cousins and their aunts, there that day.
People began arriving at the grove early
in the day and the hours until noon were
spent in greetings. Then came dinner
and small family parties could be seen
scattered all through the grove enjoying a
meal in the woods.
The Forest City band, of Scotia, fur-
nished music for the occasion, besides this
an excellent choir selected from the tribe,
furnished vocal music.
Two ball games were played in the af-
ternoon. The first game was played by the
junior team of Port Matilda and the
Martha team. And the second game by
the Scotia and Port Matilda teams. Ad-
dresses were made, in the afternoon, by
Revs. Downing, of Pitcairn; Houck, of
Milesburg, and editor T. H. Harter, of
Bellefonte.
The officers for the coming year are as
follows : A. C. Williams, president; Mesh
Williams, corresponding secretary; A. Y.
Williams, treasurer, E. TL. Williams,
historian; and W. 8. Williams, poet.
This organization is growing each year
not only in number but in interest.
WHAT THE BLUE JACKET Is DOING.—
The owners of the Blue Jacket zinc mines
at Granby, Mo., most of whom reside in
Bellefonte, appear to have a proposition on
hand that promises a far greater return
and a more permanent investment than
many of the other mining schemes that
have been exploited in this section.
They started with very little capital and
a worn out plant, but an immense amount
of determination and a good mineral lease.
The result has been the satisfactory devel-
opment of the property, the payment of all
its debts, a complete reorganization of its
management and a certainty that it will be
profitable. It is already paying large divi-
dends on its capitalization and has a treas-
ury surplus, so that the Blue-Jacket can
truthfully be listed among the good things.
F. H. Thomas, Supt. of the B. C. R. R,,
‘and Robt. F. Hunter are directing the
work from this end of the line and a Jop;
lin, Mo., mining journal bas published the
following paragraph concerning their prog-
ress.
The Blue-Jacket Mining and Milling
company are developing one of the biggest
zine prospects in the Granby district. Sev-
eral hundred feet of pay stuff has already
been opened up and a prospect drill is kept
at work on new ground all the time while
two steam drills pound away on the stuff
already in sight. At present their turnin
seldom falls below 30 tons and when the
ground has been thoroughly opened up,as
they intend to have it soon, they can easi-
ly igi their output to 50 tons per
week.

THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR CONVEN-
TION AT HOWARD.—For : ten years the
Christian Endeavor workers of Centre Co.
have been steadily carried onward under the
banner of the county union. The con-
vention at Howard, Wednesday and Thurs-
day of next week; Aug. 27th and 28th,
will undoubtedly be the most enthusiastic
mass meeting ever held by the Union. One
of the principal features of the meeting
will be a lecture on Wednesday evening
by Rev. Luther DeYoe, of Harrisburg. Dr.
Schuyler, of Centre Hall, will preach the
convention sermon. Besides those other
prominent Christian Endeavor workers
from our own and other counties will be
present.” The worker’s conferences will be
of special interest to the delegates. | . .
. The Junior rally on Thursday afternoon
will far excel any of former years.
