He was walking past a pile of glass in the ware-room and did not no- tice that one jagged piece protruded beyond the rest until it had slashed his leg. ——The appearance of a ‘‘Woman in Black’’ in Bellefonte seems to be no longer permissible of doubt. As to her motives there is no reasonable explanation, but if she serves no other purpose than the fright- ening of children off the streets ata late hour every parent in town should welcome her coming and magnify her bug-a-boo pro- pensities to the fullest. —— President Geo. W. Atherton, of" the Penna. State College, and Gen.

Ishler, of Tusseyville, and ‘Miss Leah Elizabeth Kaufman, of Lamar, were warried at the home of Rev. H. J. Crow, pastor of the Reformed church at “Hublersburg.

They will make their future home at Tusseyville, ~— Remember that next Thursday even- ing the entertainment that Mrs. Lonsbery and Mrs. Seibert are so certain will be ‘‘well worth a dollar’’ will be given in the Methodist church lecture room, and from what we heard of it ourselves, at a rehears- al the other evening, we’ll have to go the ladies one better and say that it will be well worth two dollars but won’t cost any- |* thing like that much. ——A christening is rarely made the dig- nified and beautiful ceremony it should be and was in the christening of George Har- ris Shugert, infant son of John M. and Katherine Cartin Shugert, on Wednesday morning in St. John's Episeopal church. This little one is the first great grand child of the late ex-Governer Andrew Gregg Cur- tin to be born in Bellefonte and had the honor of his maternal great-grandmother’s presence at his baptism. His{sponsors were his maternal grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. ‘George Harris, Mies Adaline Harris and his father, John M. Shugers. ] New Rouges rok Rural Mam De. LIVERY, «On Tuesday a lage delega- tion of indignant citizens from Patton township were in town protesting against doing away with the post office at Waddle, which would be one of the results of a free mail service through the Buffalo Run val. ler. Over in Penns-valley they are desper- ately anxious to secure the service. The Centre Hall Reporter, of last week, says, ‘Valentine Shoenberger,a special route agent of the post office department, has been in town since last Monday going over the territory of the proposed mail route in the north precinct of Potter township. The route laid out by him on Tuesday starts at Centre Hall post office, thence to John Conley, east by J. A. Keller's to Perry Breon’s, retrace *o Krape farm and continue south to turnpike at a point near Indian Lane, thence east by pike to public road east of Daniel Keller's. thence north to road leading to Howard Darst’s, thence east by the same road to public road leading from Brush valley road to Union church, thence north by said road to Brush valley road, thence west to CentreHall on same road, thence west to Crotzer’s hill, thence south by way of David Keller farm and Leonard Rhone to Boalsburg road, at Boal farm, thence west to J. E. Rishel’s, retrace to near Richard Brook's on G. M. Boal farm, thence east to Loop road near D. L. Bartge’s and south on same by Grossman to Strohm farm near Tusseyville, thence east to road ata point east of Samuel Flory farm, thence north by D. W. Bradford to Boalsburg road near John Kline, thence east on Boalsburg road to Old Fort, thence north to Centre Hall post office, making a distance of twenty-two and three-eighth miles. The south side of Potter township will be served by two routes from Spring Mills, as recommended by Agent Shoenberger. The route will serve the sections about Cen- tre Hill and Colyer and close the post offices at these points. The Potters Mills and Tusseyville offices will be kept opeu. Considering the topography of the south side and the business relations between that section and Centre Hall, one would natur- ally be led to think that Centre Hall would be a more advantageous point for distribu- tion. Agent Shoenberger represents that Spring Mills was selected as the point from which distribution should be made, because of a petition largely signed by the residents of the south side of Potter township asking that Spring Mills be made the distributing point, and although natural conditions seem contrary. the will of the people should be respected.’ 2 i ae THE SPRING CHANGES.—While house bunting seems to be the principal diversion of some of our good citizens, the changes that are going to be made this spring are not nearly so many as usual. Mis. D. W, Woodring has bought her brother’s interest in the Galbraith property on Howard street and with her family will take possession of it the 1st of the month. Conductor John D. Hall, who now occupies the same, will move into the Kline house on Spring street. Rev. Crittenden has leased a house on Cur- tin street. Mr. aud Mrs. Boyd Wilson will move from Petriken building into the Mor- rison house on east Bishop street now oc- ocupied by the Woodrings. Joseph Lose and his wife are going into the Curry house on east Logan street,and the house they ocoupy on Water street has been rented by William Royer. Orrie Kline will get possession of Joseph Beezer has purchased the Rankle property on the same street. George Bartiey bas bought the house now occupied by the Beezers and S. D. Gettig will move into the house vacated by the Bartleys. John Gress has purchased the Beck property on Methodist Hill and will move his fam- ily from his present home on Water street on the 1st. E. M. Huyett, the lumber: man, who has made his home in one of the Zeller houses on Howard street for some mo ntbs moves back to Centre Hall. Dr. and Mrs. Tate are going to housekeeping in one of the flats in Petriken building ; Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Hindman will move into Mrs. Orbison’s house on Curtin street recently vacated by E. M. Greist. Miss Ellen Woods has leased the Miles home on Bishop street and Charles A. Hazel will go to housekeeping in the house she now ooc- cupies. Mrs. W. H. Page will occupy part of Mrs. Hibler’s house on Allegheny street. eee A ere en esseeet SEVERAL LARGE SALES WITHIN THE WEEK. —Within the next week or ten days there will be several very large sales in Centre county. To start off with that of Mr. James G. Fortney, three miles east of Pine Grove Mills, which is advertised for Tuesday, March 24th, is going to be an exceptional- ly large one. Because there is such a great quantity of stock and implements to sell it will begin at 9 o'clock in the morning. Next Thursday, the 26th, G. W. Keizh- line will have bis sale at his home 1 mile north of Rock Springs. It will begin at 10 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Keichline’s implements are especially worthy of this notice. . Most of them are new and of the best make. He has a fine lot of stock to sell also. re ce A MARTIN-BARNHART.—Miss Elizabeth Martin, daughter of the late John Martin who was for many years postmaster a Milesburg, and Harry Barnhart were unit- ed in marriage at the parish house on Mon- day evening at seven thirty o'clock. Rev. Father McArdle pronounced the ceremony and the bridal couple were attended by Miss Mary Martin as maid of honor, and Mordecai Miller as best man. The groom is one of the younger sons of the late John Barnbart and is an upright, industrions young man. He is employed as book keeper at R. B. Taylor's coal office and is perfectly capable of providing a comfortable home for his bride. the Royer house on east Bishop street and. «Miss Sydnia May Gramley of Aarons. i burg, and Albery Miles Armes, of State | College, were married on Sunday morning, the 15th, at the Lutheran paysonage in Aaronsbuig hy the Rev. B. R. Sheeder. ——— —— Wednesday's Philadelphia Press de- voted three columus to the exploitation of the property and proposition of the British American Dredging Co., in British Colum- bia. This is the property developed by Mr. Switzer, of Philipsburg. A ~——The Rev. W. F. D. Noble, well known to many readers of the WATCH MAN, now pastor of the Methodist Episco- pal church at Sn, 'dertown, has declined to consider a proposition to become pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Ogden, Utah, which pays a salary of $12,000. Mr. Noble’s many friends about were will be glad to know that he is to remain in this conference. — Ap pn, ——To secure original stories and essays for publication in its columns, the Free Lance, the publication of the students at The Pennsylvania State College, instituted a prize competition which has resulted as follows : stories, Ist prize, $10, Benno J. Uhl, Renovo; 2nd prize, $5, Miles W. Ster- rett, Erie; prize essay, $5, Miss Bertha Gilli- land, New Bloomfield. a —-‘‘Francesca da Rimini,’’ as present- ed at Garman’s on Tuesday night by the Porter J. White Co. was superb. The cos- tuming and scenery were such as is seldom seen in this place and the action far beyond the average talent of road companies. This notice is not written at the request of the management of either the opera house or the ‘Francesca’ Co. but merely as a mat- ter of justice to an exceptional lot of play- ers who merit crowded houses everywhere. ee meen —— The Presbyterian church at Tyrone is about to lose their pastor, Rev. Mr. Wisely, who in the six year of his pastorate there has bad no less than six calls from other churches. At this time he is wanted at Trenton, N. J.; Newark, O. and at Dr. MoCook’s church in Philadelphia, of which the aged divine is pastor emeritus. This church offers Dr. Wisely a salary of $5000 a year, but the Tyrone people have a handsome parsonage and their present salary of $1800 is to be increased to $2000. —— “The Mipister's Son’’ is devoid of the usual traveled path of rural dramas, seeking effects by other means than the ex- ploiting of live stock and kindred devices which have grown tiresome through fa- miliarity. The simple way and naturalness of the characters in the play, helped along by a clever company, make this production one that will long linger pleasantly in your memory. It will appear at Garman’s Monday night, March 23rd. — —— Little Miss Catharine Humes Allis son celebrated her eighth birthday on last Saturday by having eight of her playmates spend the afternoon with her. It is need- less to say that they bad a good time and lots of delicacies to eat for Catharine isa most unselfish little lassie and her home is generously equipped with'all the games and toys that a child could desire. The guests were Mary Warfield, Catharine Love, Nancy Hunter, Margaret Gilmore, Sarah Hastings, Janet Potter, Mary Schad and Helen Chambers. ——The quaint little shanty at ‘‘Alto”’ in which Mr. and Mrs. George Thompson have heen so happy almost since their mar- riage, was destroyed by fire early Monday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson lived there so as to be near his work as superin- tendent of the lumber operations at that point and while the home was only tempo- rary they had it fixed up so cosily and had 80 many of their handsome wedding pres- ents there that the loss is a very heavy one. In fact they had no insurance and were ahle’ to save only theirsilver and some cut glass. It is supposed that the fire caught fiom the chimney. It was beyond control when Mrs. Thompson discos ered it. ATR —— Because of an expressed opinion that college students in general and especially students of State College are sons of wealthy parents. an incomplete list of men in this college who are, wholly or in part, working their way through their course of study has been prepared. Oat of a total of five hun- dred and seventy men enrolled in regular and special courses, eighty nine are engag- ed insome kind of work by which their ex-’ penses are decreased. Many others would do outside work if they could find the work to do. Besides these there are many who either earned the money for their col- lege course hy their own exertions before going there or who have borrowed the money and will have it to repay when they are through. In very few institutions is there less of the aristocratic spirit than at State. rmtreesen Gl errebmanren ——Cousiderable opposition has develop- ed to the proposed mail route starting from Scotia mines. It is mostly based on the great delay there would be in the delivery of the mail from Bellefonte and points within the county east and north of it. As at present carried via of Tyrone, mail post- ed at Bellefonte, or passing through this of- fice, for Sootia, lies over night at Tyrone and reaches its distributing point after nine o'clock the next morning, or too late for distribution hy carrier the next day. Con- sequently a Monday’s letter from this place or any point along the Bald Eagle valley, could not reach its destination until the second day after it had been mailed—un- less the starting time of the carrier was fix- ed to suit the incoming mails of the same day. Even this would be an inconvenience to many residents of upper Buffalo Run who are now, aud have for some time been serv- ed with three mails a day from this point. Waar me Cousot. Dib <The last meeting of the town council on Monday evening was attended hy Messi= Jenkins, Reynolds, Fenton, Wise, Mallory, Kirk and Destine. Steet committee reported cleaning different streets and alleys. The alley next to the residence of Mrs. Miles on Bishop street is in bad condition. Chairman Fenlon, of the Water commit- tee reported that the pump at the water works is not working right as yet. The manufacturer has asked for two weeks more time, as he wanted to put in a new pump, and then hoped to have the wheel working up to the contract. Chairman Kirk, of the Nuisance commit- tee reported the bad condition of the walk in front of McCafferty block and the eross- ing owned by the P. R. R., on West High street. The clerk was notified to give the property owners ten days notice to repair these places and if such was not done, to repair it at their expense. A request for the extension of the water to the corner of Ridge and Beaver streets was referred to the Water committee for investigation. On motion of Dr. Kirk seconded by Col. Reynolds, a meter was ordered to be placed on the water pipes of the Penna. railroad at the passenger station and meter rates charged after the 1st of April. The request of Geo. Gross for per- mission to sprinkle west High street dur- ing the summer months was granted. Burgess Walker offered an ordinance in- flicting certain penalties for drunkeness, which after some debate was adopted and ordered to be printed. Boro Treasurer Meek asked for an order of $1,000 to pay current expenses. Dr. Kirk objected saying that the Boro had overdrawn the limit allowed by law. Boro Solicitor Fortney explained the law in re- gard to the matter and the order was finally drawn on the water fund for $1,000. The water wheel and pump which the E. Keeler company of Williamsport placed in the water works and which faiied to do | the work required, is still stored at the water works and the clerk was instructed to notify the Company to remove the wheel and pump at once. Messrs. Reynolds, Kirk and Fenlon were appointed a committee of three to revise the ordinances and have them printed in book form.

WAS 50 SUCCESSFUL !—We, as a mouth-piece for our brainy Democratic party desire to thank the Daily News, that paper-not--often--given-to--bestowing--even deserved--praise--upon--Democrats, for its tribute to our orators at the banquet given Tuesday night in their castle by the Belle- fonte K. G. E. And indeed literary Belle- fonte might be proud of our party, as for once even the skill of the caterer is made secondary as, ‘‘eloguence ran riot, each succeeding orator endeavoring to con- tribute the richest gems of thought,” the News even regretting that the speeches could not be reproduced in type so that everyone might know there is more than one Chauncey Depew. This peroration of the News was induced by the brilliant speeches of James Schofield, C. M. Bower, J. K. Johnston, N. B. Spangler, S. D. Gettig, all Democrats. It is not surprising that, ‘‘the whole evening was one of en- joyment aud everyone had a pleasant time I” We Democrats do not have to economize for four years to have enough eloquence to make a few campaign speeches but have always enough to wake any oc- dasion memorable. The only ungrateful and discordant ele- ment seems to bave been the Eagle which ‘‘groaned at the good things they contain- ed.”” Only a Republican Eagle would groan at anyone’s else having anything but it might have been generous as the News and screamed in appreciation of the Dem- ocratic Depews ! S—— . A SHOW WORTH SEEING.—That all the successful amateur performances have been presented by the young people of Belle- fonte is soon to be a disputed fact, for the matrons of the Methodist church will, no doubt, share these laurels after their ap- pearancejin comedy next Thursday night. That this assertion may easily be true ap- pears when it is remembered what hits some of these ladies made in the Village Schoc! several years ago. It takes years and experience to mature a real sense of humor as next Friday night's spontaneous mirth will prove. To give proper dignity (?) to the levity of the ladies’ performance, the infant class will have a doll drill and the boys of the intermediate class will move the audience to tears by the melodious (?) strains of their German band. The fout ensemble of an entertainment including such a range of years and talents should surely attract a large audience ! : An admission of 10 and 150ts will be charged with refreshments extra. nee fl mens. ~——The Howe Moving Pictures show comes to Garman’s on Tueaday night, April 7th for the benefit of the Logan's. be a high class entertainment that every- one can conscientiously patronize.

Mr. Conley was stricken with it while sowing clover After the approval of the minutes of the | last meeting, Chairman Derstine, of the | seed and so sudden and severe was the at- tack that it was only through the greatest effort thatjhe succeeded in getting from the field where he was at work, to the house. A physician was immediately called and while Mr. Conley is still in a very serious condition, it is generally believed that the disease has been checked, and that he stands a good chance of recovery. ——e i ——An attempt was made on Monday night to fire the building occupied by Schofield’s harness manufactory, and Hill’s sewing machine office. Fortunately it was discovered by Russell Blair, before it had made much headway, and was ex- tinguished before any damage was done. That it was the work of an incendiary, was shown hy the preparations that had been made, and gives warning to the police, and our citizens generally to be on the look-out for the miscreant who to gratify an insane desire to destroy, would jeopardize life itself.

Ash Wednesday came on Feb- ruary 25th and Easter will cccur on April 12th, almost as late as it can possibly come. Easter may come as early as March 22nd, and as late as April 25th. It depends, as everyone knows, on the phase of the moon. Easter Sunday is always the Sunday that follows full moon immediately following the spring equinox (March). In 1894 it fell on so early a date as the 21st). If the moon is full on Sunday Easter is the Sunday next following, In 1883 the day fell on March 25th, and in this and two following centuries it will occur only seven times on the same date, 1951, 2035, 2124, 2125, and 2198. > In ““The Minister's Son’ will be found a beautiful, simple portrayal of everyday life, showing a son's loyalty to his parents, and while all the village think him a worthless idle and laugh at his invention, he goes to the city and soon interests cap- italists in his scheme, sells out his pat- ents, and returns home in time to save his old father and mother from being turned out of their home.
