GRAY MEEK, - - - Ebpitor EE ————————— Terms or SusscriprioN.—Until further notice this paper will be furnished to subscribers at the following rates : Paid strictly in advance.................... Paid before expiration of year. Paid after expiration of year............ The Post Office to be Moved. Wednesday morning postmaster W. W. MONTGOMERY received orders from the Department to be ready to move the post- office from its present location in the Arcade building to the room recently occupied by V. J. BAUER, the shoe dealer, in Temple Court. As a matter of fact the lozation of the postoffice in Bellefonte is of very lit- tle concern to any one except the owners of rooms that are for rent. Since the es- tablishment of free delivery here the post- office is very rarely frequented except by the runners for the banks and a few busi- ness concerns that can not wait until the delivery of their mail. What public purpose is to be served by changing the location of the office the De- partmenf, probably, alone knows—or it would be better to say that the overly im- portant inspector who was sent here to pass upon the question is the sole possessor of a reason, Certain it is if the office is to be moved that the government will be in- volved in the additional expense of carry- ing the mails both to and from two rail- roads. This will not only materially in- crease the expense of the service but cripple its efficiency and promptness. To cite one case. Under present condi- tions if the 9 o’clock train from Montandon, which brings our heaviest, the eastern, mails, is ten or fifteen minutes late, as is often the case, the carrier has ample time to get them to the postoffice, where the clerks are waiting to begin the distribu- tion, and get back in time to receive the 9:32,0r western mails. Suppose the carrier has four or five times as far to deliver the mail. It will be impossible for him to make the trips as above and he will be compelled to hold the 9 o’clock mails at the station until the 9:32 arrives, thus de- laying the work of distribution and, conse- quently, the deliveries by the carriers. Such delays will not only be occasioned in the incoming mails, but it will become necessary to close the outgoing ones earlier than has been the case. We might repeat that it is a matter of little concern to our people where the office is located, except that they have a right to demand of the Department its location where its greatest efficiency as a postoffice will be served. We don’t want to think or believe that there is any ‘‘graft’’ at the bottom of this movement but when those who are doing this thing will add anywhere from $500 to $1,000 dollars of expense yearly to the costs of handling the mails in this place, without bettering the service in any way, it has a decidedly suspicious look about it. Possibly the same gang that has brought the scandals on the Department at Washington, or one like it has something $0 do with this job. Stitched Wound in a Man's Heart. An Unusual Operation Performed by Dr. Furnivall, a London Surgeon—Case Successtully Treated After Delicate Handling. LoNDON, June 6.—Surgeon Furnivall successfully stitched a wound in a man’s heart this week in the London Hospital. Jobn Long, a laborer, was stabbed through the heart in a saloon row, and immediately after he was brought in Dr. Furnivall decided to make an effort to get at the very center of the wound. Long had lost a deal of blood, but his life was saved 1n the first instance by the blood hecom- ing congealed and closing the wound. The surgeon had to temporarily displace the breast cartilage, the ribs and the lungs. As first be thought the heart itself would have to be removed, but on washing away the blood clots and raising it a little the puncture was found. With artery forceps he grippéd the damaged part, aud, first with catgut, then with silk, sewed up the small wound the knife had made. Almost immediately there was an im- provement of the pulse, and after seventy minutes Long was wheeled out of the operating theater to a bed, where he bas continued to improve. : A similar case was successfully treated in the same hospital two years ago. Starved to Save Loved Ones. NEw YORK, June 6.—Trying to save money to bring his family from she scene of the massacre at Kishenef, Nathan Long- bart, 45 years old, of No. 5 Elizabeth street, starved himself to death. Longbart came here three years ago from a town near Kishenef, leaving his wife and five daugh- ters and a sister. He had sent money at regular intervals to his wife. He worked as a tailor for David Cohen, in Elizabeth street. To save expenses he slept in the shop on a pile of old clothes aud rags. His wages were $8 a week. This week he re- ceived a letter from his wife in which she told him of the death of his youngest child. On May 14th he sent his wife $13 and in the letter accompanying the money he said he hoped soon to send her more, so that she conld get away from peril. To- day Longbart was found dead. Fellow workmen said that for his breakfast he drank a glass of milk. For his dinner and supper he ate some bread and drank a lit- tle milk. Of his $8 a week, it is said that all but a few cents were sens to his wife. ——An exchange says a new hunco game is being worked on unwary merchants throughout the country. A man enters the store, shows a government badge and states that he is in the secret service and on the lookout for counterfeit money. He looks over the cash drawer and invariably finds four or five ‘‘counterfeit’’ dollars which he confiscates. The whole thing 1s a frand. ~——8ubscribe for the WATgREMAN, for the mills, was in its normal state. Sink Holes in Kansas, Mysterious Depressions in the Western Part of the State. An interesting phenomenon in Western Kansas is described and pictured in a re- cent report of the United States geological survey, says the New York Sun. One of the natural curiosities of the great plains region is known as the Meade salt well, in Sonthwestern Kansas. It made its appear- ance very suddenly in 1889. On March 3rd in that year the famous Jones and Plummer cattle trail extended right over the spot where this depression was soon to appear. A wagon passed along the trail over the level ground. It isnot known that this spot was seen again until twenty-three days later, when it was found that the ground for a considerable area had sunk into the earth and the hole was part- ly filled with water from an underground source. The cavity was circular and the tracks of wagons and cattle on the trail were still plainly seen on either side of the hole. A considerable area around the hole bad been depressed to a smaller extent. The rink hole remains,and on either side of it are stiil be be seen the road ruts and cattle trails along which for years scores of thousands. of ranch cattle were driven from Northern Texas into Kansas. There were very few routes of travel across this wide plain. But the accident to the surface oc- curred on the most important of them. Those who studied this depression were surprised to find that the water in it was very salty, although the ground water in the neighboring wells contained not a trace of salt. It was also found that this saline water had at times a high temperature, closely approaching the boiling point. The geologists as yet have not been able to explain either the saltness or the high temperature of -the water. It was also found that there were two distinct layers of water, the upper layer, three feet thick, being much less salt than the lower layer, which was six feet in depth. Today the depression measures 260 feet across the top and 126 feet across the sur- face of the pond, which is nine feet deep ; the distance from the bottom of the water to the level of the plain is forty feet. A good sized house might be hid in the de- pression. The geologists say that the Meade salt well is only the most striking of the Kan- sas sink holes. for there are many other de- pressions of similar nature in the state. Large section of the high plains which stretch across the western part of Kansas are fairly pitted with large or small saucer like depressions, sometimes so near togeth- er that a stone may be thrown from one to another. Many of these sinks are shallow, but others are deep, like the salt well here described. The depressions are so numer- ous that farmers are talking of utilizing them for the storage of the spring rains, and thus conserving the water that falls into them for irrigation purposes. It may be worth while to make them serviceable in this way, for irrigation is all that the great region needs to make it wonderfully fertile. We have long known of the countless sink holes in the great cave regions of this country which are formed by water perco- lating through the limestone rocks, dis- solving their mineral particles and thus carrying the rock away in solution. No such explanation, however, can be given of the sink holes of Western Kansas. They are still constantly forming and are grad- ually lowering the surface over large areas, but how they are formed is not yet fully determined. The study that has recently been made of them by the geological survey seems to show that the settling is due in the smaller cases to the gradual compacting of the soil particles by the percolation of water which collects from rain in particular spots and by the chemical solution and washing away of the more soluble particles which com- pose the ground. In the larger sinks which appear sndden- ly, like the Meade salt well, there seems, however, to have been a caving in of the underlying rock bed, which is thin in places and has probably been decomposed and carried away by the underlying waters. Fifty Lives Lost. A Torrent Came Out of the Blue Ridge Mountain Causing Death and Destruction. CoLUuMBIA, 8. C., June 7.—Out of the Blue Ridge mountains a torrent descended at day light yesterday morning on the mill town of Clifton in which there are 4,000 persons. It is estimated that fifty lives were lost. The people bad no warning of the danger. It had been raining through the State for several days, but no fear was apprehended, and the working people of Clifton, who run more than 100,000 spin- dles in the three great cotton mills, retired without intimation that any thing unusnal was in store for them. At 5 o'clock yesterday morning the Pacolet river, which farnished the power ne hour afterward the river had risen thirty feet and the loss of life and property was appalling. The biggest mill in the county, Converse with 51,000 spindles was gone, and two others, Clifton and Dexter, were half wash- ed away. The steel bridge over which the Southern railway from Washington to Atlanta crossed this river, ‘was destroyed. It was supported by granite piers and was considered proof against floods. The greatest disaster occurred in the mill town. The water rushed upon the town, overthrew houses and carried away men, women, and children. Fifty deaths is said to be the minimum loss, but in the excited and terrified con- dition it is impossible to get details. No trains have heen run and no correspond- ents can reach the town. SPARTANSBURG, 8. C., June 7.—The latest reports are that approximately fifty- five persons were drowned in the floods of Pacolet and Clifton. No list of dead is yet available here, but it is supposed that moss of the dead were mill operatives. The bodies of four unidentified white people were taken from the river helow Clifton to- day. An estimate, regarded as conservative, of the loss to cotton millsin this county, is $3,000,000. : A mass meeting of citizens was held here to-day and $3,500 was subscribed for the relief of the flood sufferers. Many generous offers of assistance have been tele- graphed from other cities, ; Congressman Johnson left today for Washington to see Secretary of War Root for the purpose of securing federal aid if possible. The congressman was forced to walk to Cowpens in order to board a north bound train. No train has reached here since the sudden rise of yesterday. ——Every time a man loses his temper he loses his head, and when he loses his head he loses several chances. Fatal Wreck Near Osceola. Freight Trains Come Together at Slate Cut— Three Killed and Three Injured. About 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon one of the most destructive accidents that has ever occurred on the T. & C. branch, took place at Slate Cut, a mile and a-half above Osceola, when a coal train ran into the south bound local freight, killing three men outright and badly injuring three others. As nearly as we can learn, a local train | aleo south bound, parted and the rear end of it crashed into the engine of the local, carrying destruction with it. Engineer -Boger, of the local, his brakemen, Robert Wilson and Andrew Friday, were killed, their bodies being horribly mangled fire- man Waite, of thesame crew, and engineer Ogle Burley, of the coal train, and his brakeman, Harry Lane, were also badly | injured. All the victims of the horrible happening were from Tyrone, except Wil- son, who lived in Carwensville. - The mangled remains of the dead men were tenderly placed in a caboose and taken to Tyrone to be prepared for burial, and the injured were also taken to the same place. It was a terrible affair and casts a gloom over the entire line. David Wierman was shipping a car load of horses and mules to Broad Top and 6 of them met death in the wreck. All trains were delayed by the casualty. Mary is Overlooked. From the Atlanta Constitution, Although the President is quick to send for every local author he has ever heard of, while en swing, and gives him a ‘‘we authors’’ tete-a-tete, we did not hear that he inquired for Mary MacLane when in Butte, Mont. Negro Waves Red Paper Valnly. Six miles out from Samter, 8. C., an ex- cursion train on the Atlantic Coast line, loaded with negroes coming into Columbia to spend the day, early Wednesday morn- ing ran into a washout caused by a clound- burst the night before. Conductor Clements was instantly kill- ed, as were also four negroes, one being a woman. About 30 passengers were in- jured. Engineer Wilson was badly scald- ed, but not seriously injured. Surgeons were sent on extras from both Sumter and Columbia. A negro who saw the washout made a desperate effort to warn the train with a piece of red paper in his band, but the engineer either did not see his signal or saw it too late. The killed are : J. J. Clements, Wil- mington, conductor; Frank Ross and his wife, Minnie Ross, of Sumter, colored; Joseph Davis, of Marion, colored; Edward Weston, of Sumter, colored. Weston died on the relief train on the way to Sumter, S. C. . ADDITIONAL LOCALS ——Rev. Dr. E. J.

STUNNED BY LIGHTNING.—A peculiar accident occurred on High street, near the residence of Daniel Garman Monday after- noon. During one of the several thunder showers that passed over this place that afternoon Mrs. Jas. Rote, and her daugh- ter-in-law, Mrs. Charles Rote, were driving down the street in their buggy. There was a blinding flash of lightning that stunned their horse 30 that it fell on its knees, breaking the shafts. Neither cone of the ladies was injured by the stroke. Cpr gentlor ——The Bellefonte amateur operatic minstrels played to a crowded house at Gar- man’s last Friday night and, if the public is to be believed, gave general satisfaction. In truth the comment on the show seems to be far more enthusiastic than it merited, for while the amateurs did the very best they could under the circumstances the actual talent in Bellefonte is capable of far better work. However, it served the pur- pose of amusing a great: house full of peo- ple and netting about $130 for the hospital. HE EscAPED THROUGH THE CAR WIN- DoW.—Chief of police Lanner, of Lock Haven, was on his road from Altoona to that place, last Friday night, with a pris- oner who was wanted for jumping a board bill at Peter Meitzler’s hotel. When near- ing Milesburg the prisoner asked to be permitted to go to the lavatory and when hedid not return for some time chief Lan- ner went to look for him and discovered be had escaped through the car window. Chase was given for a sbort distance, bub the fugitive could nowhere be found.

The Sun- day North American said: All the former Centre countians residing within twenty-five miles of Philadelphia, or at least 600 of them, came to the reunion held yesterday at Belmont Mansion in Fair- mount Park. A mighty feast was prepared by Centre county’s own daughters. All the vegetables, the games and even the flowers that graced the groaning table came “from home.” Thomas Farner, of Chester, and his ‘‘Roosevelt’”’ family were the first on the scene, arriving shortly after 1 o'clock, and after that the guests came on every trolley car. During the Iull in the eating old time songs were sung and old time stories told by the talented folk from Centre. There was also music with trills in it by Professor William T.

Noll to Miss Amber Parks, of Tyrone, which was solemnized in St. John’s Episcopal church, in Huntingdon, on Wed- nesday evening, June 3rd, at 8 o'clock, was an event of more than passing interest to our readers because of the fact that the groom is very well known here, where he made his home before associating himself in business with C. F. York, the proprietary medicine manufacturer of Warriors-mark. Heisa son of Mr. and Mrs. E. Noll, of north Allegheny street. The Tyrone Herald publishes the follow- ing account of the wedding : The wedding party comprising the happy couple and a large company of their rela- tives and friends, left Tyrone on the even- ing train for Huntingdon where the cere- mony was performed in St. John’s Episcopal church by the rector, Rev. F. C. Cowper. Guests were present from Tyrone, Belle- fonte, Alexandria, Warriors-mark, Hunt- ingdon and other places. A brief con- gratulatory reception was held in the flower-decked rector’s room after the cere- mony. Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs. Noll were tendered a reception at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. York, at Warriors- mark. Mr. Noll is a brother of Mrs. York. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs, John Parks, of Tyrone, and is an estimable young lady whose talent and amiability are recognized and admired. The groom is the son of Emanuel Noll, of Bellefonte. He has attained snocess as traveling repre- sentative for C. F. York, the Malena manu- facturer of Warriors-mark, and is a young man of energy and capability. Mr. and Mrs. Noll at once settled down to housekeeping in their pleasant new home at Warriors-mark, which the groom had complete and ready for their occupancy. That they may have a long, joyous and prosperous life is the ardent wish of their many friends. iad tr ft Clan ——Last Saturday Autonio Puiteh, a Polander who had been apprehended at Jersey Shore for burglary at Snow Shoe, escaped from the officers by jumping from the window of a room in which he was con- fined in Snow Shoe. Notwithstanding he was securely handcuffed he roamed about in the mountains for two days before he was re-captured and brought to jail here. Spring Mills. Mr. and Mrs. Bietz and son Leonard, of Mt. Eagle, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Corman last week. They came here’ for their daughter, Maude, who has been at.’ tending school, and during the session made’ her heme with Mr. Corman. ; The school board of Gregg township orgs ized for the next year by electing the follc ing officers: H. H. Rachau, president; H. ' Braucht, secretary, and F. P. Hosterma: treasurer. The examination for teachers re- sulted in the success of Lutitia Goodhart Theresa Rachau, Clara Condo, Tibbens Zub. ler, Erl Grove and G. F. Weaver. This community is very much incensed and indignant over an outrage committed here a week or ten days since, by a fellow evidently little more than a brute. His daughter, a bright eyed girl of about twelve or fourteen years of age, visited a neighbor one evening, and it seems remained a trifle longer than her father designated. Accord- ingly he bravely armed himself with a buggy whip, called on his neighbor and brutally lashed his daughter from the company, not- withstanding her outcries and pleadings but continued his brutality until they reached home. There was some considerable talk of having him arrested, and its very certain that if an agent for the prevention of cruelty to children resided here, his arrest would not be simply talked about, hut he would be now in the clutches of the law, to answer for this dastardly and cowardly outrage. e————— Hublersburg.
