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.

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.

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.

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.

——The Bellefonte amateur operatic
minstrels played to a crowded house at Gar-

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.

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

——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.

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

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.
