charged.

——The Drs. McGirk, of Philipsburg, on
Friday removed a piece of John Hicklin’s
skull and now that unfortunate individual
appears to be regaining his power of speech.
Two yearsago Hicklin was a clerk at the
Potter house. There was a big fight in front
of the place one night, which he wanted to
see,and arrived .on the scene just in time to
be struck on the head by a brick that one of
the participants threw at the other. Hick-
lin suffered greatly from the injury, bus
after awhile it grew better avd he bade fair
to get well. Later, however, his speech be-
came affected; growing gradually more so
until be could scarcely talk. The opera-
tion after two years resulted in finding a
piece of the skull pressing on the brain and
with its removal relief will very probably
come.
most before the residents were aware of it
and before there was time for any uncalled
for. excitement. or scare State College de-
veloped a bad case of 'small-pox and had it
secnre in the strictest kind of quarantine,
‘entirely removed from the possibijity of |
.the contagion spreading. : Zi
Miss Mable Holmes, a young lady of that
place, who had spent several months visit-
‘ing in Pittsburg returned to her home on
‘Thursday, September 25th, apparently in
perfect health. On Thursday, Oct. 2nd,
just one week later her condition was such
that Dr. W. S. Glenn was called to sce her.
He diagnosed the case as small-pox and
ordered a rigid quarantine at once, though
the danger from contagion at that time was
not great, as none of the vesicles had brok-
en. ‘But determined to run no risks and to
do everything possible for the safety of the
community the young lady was taken to
an old and unoccupied house on the Holmes
farm, a mile north of the coliege. This
was done early Friday morning so that al-
most before anyone knew that she was ill
she had been removed to a perfectly isolated
place. There her mother stayed with her,
while the hunt for an immune nurse was
on. Noue conld be found and on Tuesday
Jennie Weaver, who had been in Belle-
fonte nursing Jessie Etters, went to the
case anil is now in charge.
Dr. Glenn has taken several photographs
of the case and says it is one of the best
developed he has ever seen. He says that
every precaution has already been taken to
prevent the spread of the disease and that
he has no fear of its going any further.

BECKWITH SENTENCED.—Frank Beck-
with who was convicted of murder in the
second degree at the August term of court
was sentenced on Tuesday and will have to
serve only a little over six years in the
western penitentiary for having shot and
killed his wife at Sandy Ridge on the morn-
ing of Feb. 16th. ;
Beckwith has been confined in jail here
since his trial ; his attorneys having suc-
ceeded in holding him here, under the pre-
tense of an argnment for a new trial, until
friends could circulate petitions praying
for the leniency of the court. How well
they succeeded is seen in the sentence of
nine years, one dollar fine and costs of
prosecution, when the maximum is twenty
years. The new commutation law will cut
even this light sentence down to six and
one-half . years, or only a little longer than
the same court gave George Walker for
stealing an old horse down at Curtin’s
Works. Sauraly this is placing a very light
estimate on the value of human life,
Argument. comt opened Tuesday morn-
ing and the first case taken up was Beck-
with’s, Hoh M. Bower and W. E. Gray ap-
peared for the prisoner and. in proof of onr
assertion that the move for a new trial was
only a play for time neither one of them
alluded to.a new trial, though that is sup-
posed to.have been the, reason that Beck:
with was pot sentenced at once: Instead
they presented petitions asking for clemency
and confined their remarks wholly on that
line. ©. sug
J. C. Meyer appeared for the Common-
wealth and urged the court to give the
prisoner the full penalty for his crime, but
the result was as above. Beckwith was
very evidently more than satisfied and
much reason did he have for it. In the
first plage he knew that many anotber man
had hung on less damaging evidence than
was shown against him and, in the sec-
ond, he was. to suffer little more for taking
a human life than a tramp was given for
stealing an old horse.

THE Post OFFICE AT STATE COLLEGE
BURGLARIZED. — Thieves forced an en-
trance into the post office at State College |
early last Friday morning and after blow- Lor how, hut follows the command of his su-
{ perior and in doing so he should have the
ing open the safe with nitro-glycerine se-
cured $2,028.00 worth of postage stamps
and between $40 and $50 in coin.
When post-master Stuart entered the of -
fice in the morning he found it a complete
wreck. The force of the explosion had
scattered the fixtures, mails and documents
abont promiscuously and things were so
badly torn up that it was most apparent
that the explosion of the safe must bave
been terrific in ioice.
The report was heard by lodgers in the
building in which the post office is located,
but thinking it merely the revelry of some
students they did not go to find out the
cause, sn ile '
Mr. Stuart telephoned all over the coun”
try at once and notified the department at
Washington. Up to this time. however,
no trace of the robhers has been discovered.
As two strange characters were seen
about the village Thursday and early Fri-
day morning four men were seen leaving
Struble’s station, a mile distant, on a hand
car, it is supposed that the two were part of
the gang and were there getting the lay of
the land. ‘They abandoned the hand car
at Hunter's park and presumably - struck
over the Bald Eagle mountains to the B.
E. V. railroad.
Among the stamps thev took weie a
number of she old Columbian variety.

money ou his person. The detectives of

——A rather interesting little story of
the shrewdness of Miss Susan Carpenter.
Frazer, of Lancaster, who is here attending
the state conference of the D. A. R., of
which she is state regent, is going the
rounds as follows : Last sammer she bought
twenty tous of hard coal which were stored
in her cellar for this winter’s use, but a
short time ago the autocrat of her culinary
department was taken suddenly and seri-
ously ill and it became necessary to close
her house and take up quarters at a hotel
for the winter. She saw a chance for a lit-
tle ‘‘speck’’ in her stock of coal, so ad er-
tised in the newspapers that she had twenty
tous of anthracite coal to sell to the highest
bidder, and on Monday morning, hefore
many of her neighbors had arisen from
their downy couches, she had sold it for
$15.00 per ton, and by dinner time the
coal was out of her cellar and she had the
money in her pocket, clearing by the trans-
action the neat little sum of $200.

——The conduct of the people who were
at the station in Bellefonte Wednesday
morning to witness the departure of the
local company for the strike ‘region was in:
marked contrast with that of many others
in different parts of the State. While the
sympathy of the masses is undeniably with
the strikers no odium should be caste pon
a soldier when he goes out to his duty. To
him there are certain things as immutable
as the laws of the Medes and Persians and
first among them -is the oider to obey.
The good soldier asks not what for, when
plaudits, rather than the hisses of his fel-
lows. The duty may be irksome, unjust
or altogether distasteful to him, but he
performs it becanse he is a good soldier
and a good soldier's first requisite is to
obey. The strikers need have no more fear
of the militia than the innocent children,
who cheered their departure from this place
Wednesday morning; for if they comport
themselves as law abiding citizens should
do there will be no conflict. To our mind
we see in this general order calling out the
entire Guard of the State a golden opportu-
nity for the strikers. By their conduct
they can demonstrate beyond the cavil of
autocratic operators that they are honorable
citizens and respect the law, though it isso
outrageously administered against them.

SECRETARY GAMEL TO LEAVE BELLE-
FONTE.—There will be general disappoint-
ment as a result of the announcement that
secretary Frank H. Gamel, of the Bellefonte
Y M.C. A. has tendered his resignation
and will leave here on Monday. =
He goes to Hazelton, a much larger
field where a larger work is in a
worse extremity than was that in
‘Bellefonte when he came here a little over
a year ago. While his successor has not
| yet been chosen it will probably he Mr.
Hindman, of New Brighton, a man who
has been raised in Association work, is a
college graudate and has been under Mr.
Gamel in other places long enough to ab-
sort many of his ideas, which Bellefonte
knows to be good ones.
Little need be said of Mr. Gamel’s
work here. The Association was at its
worst when he came. Fallen in public
opinion, useless as a christian agency and
with its property under the sherifi’s bam-
mer he has, almost alone. re-established it
on a basis of permanence and efficiency
never before known. Mr. Gamel will be
miseed in Bellefotte, but it was nos to be
expected that he would remain here. He
is far too able for such a limited field.
OCTOBER WEDDINGS. —October, always
a favorable season for weddings, is record-
ing them this year as though the past sum-
er had been unusually auspicious. for love
making, Wednesday evening. Miss Bertha
Gentzel, eldest daughter-of Mr. and Mrs:
Robert Gentzel, and William Rider, - both
of Willowhank. street, were united in mar-
riage by their pastor, Rev. Dr.. Shriner.
The marriage took place at eight o’clock at
the Methodist parsonage on Linn street and
was witnessed by the bride’s uncle and
aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Bartley. = The
bride was becomingly dressed in white
Paris muslin and after the ceremony the
young people proceeded to the home of the
groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Rider,
where they will reside for a time at least.
The bride and groom are favorably known
to the young people of the town, but they
are so young that their marriage was a sur-
prise to their friends. They are both dili-
gent and well to do and have our best
wishes for their happiness.

KREBS-REED.—On Wednesday evening
the home of D.C. Krebs, at Pine Grove
Mills, was the scene of a very pretty wed-
ding ‘when Rev. C. T. Aiken pronounced
the ceremony which united in marriage
Miss Katharine L. Krebs and William E.
Reed. :
_ The house was prettily decorated with
flowers and quite a number of guests were
present. at the ceremony which took place
at. 7:30 o'clock.’ Miss Flossie Goss, of
Greensburg, was maid of honor and the
best man was D.C. Krebs. After the cere-
mony and congratulations a fine wedding
supper was served and the newly married
conple, accompanied by the good wishes of
a ‘host of friends, proceeded to their own
nearby newly furnished home. ' The hide
is a daughter of the late Levi Krebs and is
a most capable and attractive young wom-
an. Her husband isa member of the firm
of Reed Bros., mill operators and is held in
high esteem in the community in which he
lives.

RoTE-BLACK. — An auspicious though
quiet wedding was ‘celebrated yesterday at
the U. B. parsonage on west High street
when Miss Lulu Cynthia Rote, only daugh-
ter of Mr. ‘and Mrs. James L. Rote, and
Arthur Black, of Altoona, were united in
marriage. There were no guests present,
except the parents of the bride and groom
and promptly at hall after twelve o'clock
Rev. T. W. Perks pronounced the cere-
mony.
The bride was dressed in a tailor made
gown of grey cheviot and looked exceed-
ingly well. She is prepossessing and quite
popular among her associates. The happy
couple left on the 1:05 train for their new
hame in Altoona, where the groom is a ma-
chinist in the railioad shops. He is a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Black, of Phenix
street, this place.

A
NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH UNDER
AN EXGINE.—Frank Wilmore, of Tyrone,
is lying in tlie Bellefonte hospital with his
right leg badly injured and that he is not
dead is really remarkable, for he was clear
under the pilot of an engine and one more
turn of the wheels would have ground him
to pieces.
Wilmore was drunk here last Thursday
evening and it is not known just how it
bappened but as the special for Coburn was
pulling out of the station conductor Geo.
Whittaker, of the Bellefonte Central, no-
ticed him disappear under the pilot. He
signalled the engineer of the special, which
was stopped at once and Wilmore pulled
out. : :
At first it was thought bis leg was ground
off, but later investigation as the hospital
disclosed that it was nothing more than an
extremely bad bruise from the knee to the
ankle. 2

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE OPERA HOUSE—
The WATCHMAN is very pleased to make
public the information that improvements
are actually being made in the interior of
Garman’s opera house. The width of the
stage well has been increased so as to carry
the largest drops carried by traveling com-
panies and, in addition, some new dressing
rooms are being built.
While many changes that would ma-
terially improve Bellefonte’s play house
could be suggested the two that are being
made are important ones and we must com-
mend the management for having under-
taken them. Many good shows have ap-
peared at a disadvantage here because the
well was 600 narrow to accommodate the
scenery they carry and now things are to
be changed for the better.
——~Charles H. Shriner, the deaf mute
of Union county, who married a Miss
Funk, also a deaf mute, of Penn township,

ing a term of three years for arson.

Thursday, as Miss Parsons was to have been

A DEPLORABLE DEATH.—The death of
Mrs. Martin Reese, at her home in Snow

deplored, not only on account of her chil-

ful and most generous disposition and well
