He writes that the farmers of their section are having the same trouble with their corn that those of Centre county have been having, and much of it is to be replanted. ——The Nittany furnace will likely go out of blast on or about July 15th. The furnace has contracts to fill that will keep it running to about that date. Nothing definite is known as to resumption at eith- er the Bellefonte or Nittany furnaces. It is a matter governed entirely by the con- dition of the iron market. The Bellefonte furnace had been in continuous operation since September 27th, 1900, when Sara Hastings lit the fires. ——J. Malcolm Laurie has resigned his position as assistant cashier of the Centre County Banking Co., in this place, to be- come cashier of a new bank to be opened at Wynburne, Clearfield county. In addition to having charge of the new bank he will be manager of a water and lighting com. pany to be organized there. Altogether the pew position is not only one of consider- able responsibility, hut a decidedly remu- perative one as well and we know of no one who will give it more assiduous or consei- entious care than Mr. Laurie. A BURGLAR SHOT AND CAPTURED AT JULIAN.—The career of at least one of the burglars who have been making country stores their prey for several years past was abruptly ended at Julian last Friday morn- ing when Howard Turner shot and captured a fellow who was running about in his store as if there was no one to question his right. THE ROBBER TRAPPED. Mr. Turner runs the general mercantile store formerly owned hy the late vener- able Daniel Irvin. He closed op at the usual hour Thursday night and went to his home. About 11 o’clock he was aroused by a man named Hoover who had been sit- ting up with Mr. Irvin. Hoover told him that there was some one moving around in the store with a light. Thinking that it might possibly be his clerk Mr. Turner went to the latter’s home to locate him. As he was in bed no doubt remained of the intruder’s having no right in the store. Having secured a shot gun the three men proceeded to the store and had just reach- ed a rear window when the burglar, boldly carrying a light, came out of the main store room and started to descend the few stairs leading to the ware-room half-a-story be- low. Mr. Turner raised his gun and fired. Immediately the light went ont and nota sound came from the inside. Fearing to enter the building lest the burglar might be lying in wait to kill them they posted guards and kept watch till day- light when they pushed the door open and found him lying face downward, just inside the door. When turned over he showed no signs of life until Turner dashed some water in his face. Then he woke up. His face and hair were clotted with blood and there was a wound over his right eye, where a shot had struck him. Fortunately a scale beam just inside the window through which Mr. Turner fired bad deflected the shot so that the burglar did not get the full charge, which would undoubtedly have kiiled him. As it was he received a shot in his hand and another that grazed the skull above the right eye; ‘neither one being serious. HIS DESCRIPTION. The fellow was armed with a 38 and a 32-calibre revolver. The former was empty. He gave his name as George Henderson and says he lives in Colorado. He is about 5ft. 25 or 30 years of age, smooth face, dark hair, gray eyes and wore a shabby gray suit. He says he was penniless and made his first attempt at robbery for the purpose of fitting himself out; which statement is possibly true. For no other one than that it was a first attempt would explain why he was roaming about through the store carrying a lighted lamp, at such an early hour in the evening. He had picked up Mr. Turner’s dress suit case and packed it with underwear and a few other articles for traveling, evidently intending to he a stylish hobo in the future. TURNED OVER TO THE LAW. He was turned over to constable Calvin Holt who, with W. 8. Talhelm, brought him to this place. At a hearing before justice Keiohline he plead guilty to burg- lary and was committed to jail for trial. Before leaving Julian he remarked to Mr. Turner: ‘‘You are a pretty poor marksman.’”” Meaning, of course, that he realized how narrow his escape from death had been. It is thought that after heing wounded be went and laid down by the door; in- tending to seize the firet opportunity to slip out and fight his way to liberty in the darkness, but the opportunity never came. ——— nis A REAL BENEFIT.—The base-ball game between State College and Watsontown, on Friday afternoon, proved a more profitable attraction than its promoters had hoped. From a base-ball stand-point it was not a very interesting game for the reason that State won by the score of 6 to 0 with ap- parent ease. Only three plays during the game partook of the spectacular order and they were made by Mason and Ray for State and Case for Watsontown. There were probably fifteen hundred people on the grounds ready to cheer every good play and the Coleville band lent its best efforts toward keeping time between innings from dragging. To Bellefonters the most interesting fea- tures were the pitching of Dick Quigley, a brother of H. C. Quigley Esq., of this place. He was in the box for State and in addi- tion to holding the visitors down to five hits had perfect control of the ball. The other player in whom the crowd was speo- ially interested was Eddie Keichline, who is playing centre-field for the visitors. While we all know that he is quite a clever player the home audience on Friday seem- ed to be too much for him and he did not show up in his usual good form. The financial results were quite satis- factory ; there heing $95.60 earned to- ward the payment of old hospital bills. ——— net THE LECTURE THIS EVENING.—An op- portunity will be given our people this evening of hearing an eminent colored lecturer on a subject with which he is per- sonally acquainted and one in which we have all been more or less interested for several years. We refer to the lecture on South Africa by the Rev. C. M. Tanner, D. D., in the court house. He is one of the eminent men of the South African con- ference of the A. M. E. church and his lec- ture on the “Natives and Their Costumes” should prove very interesting. Go to bear him. You will be helping along a good cause. ye -—Harry Carver, of Snow Shoe, and Miss Myrtle E. Lucas, of Union township, were united in marriage by the Rev. J.

Mr. Clayton Stover. a brother of the bride was best man and Miss Grace Smith was the bride’s maid. Mrs. F. P. Blair, of this place, played the wedding march. Immediately after the ceremony there was an informal reception and refreshments. Mr. and Mrs. Stover departed on an evening train for a wedding trip east. ee THE DRAMATIC READER.—Miss Gillum, a graduate of the Ithaca conservatory of music, of Ithaca, N. Y., will give one of her delightful entertainments in Bellefonte, in the Lutheran church, on the corner of Alle- gheny and Linn Sts., on Monday evening, June 13th, 1904. Her subject will be selec- tions from Ben Hur, and other readings. Admission 20cts. Proceeds for the benefit of the church. MEETING OF THE COUNCIL.—Aft the regular session of council Monday evening very little excitement occurred and as a result of it the members hardly enjoyed the gathering like they do the ordinary fur flying sessions of recent years. Among the business taken up for con- sideration was the removal of the strip on the dam above this office tbat was placed there with council’s permission some years ago. Mr. Gamel, the new owner of the Hale interests, and Mr. Gerberich, the lessee of their flouring mill, were present and stated that the removal lof the strip in question would work them injury by re- ducing their head of water and they would not permit it. It seems strange that if council had the power to grant the placing of the strip there it has not a like power to cause its removal. Reasonable people will also inquire as to what right council had to work injury to borough property by per- mitting the raising of that dam and back- ing that much more water on the water works, thereby diminishing the efficiency of the wheel there by that much ; not men- tioning the almost complete drying off of the creek during the dry seasons when water is needed badly to carry off the sew- age emptying into it between the dam and Lamb street. The truth of the matter is the old Hale dam has been permitted to fill up with mud so that it won’t hold any water at all. What council should do is to compel the people who profess to own if to clean it out, if they do own it. As a matter of fact the Act of Assembly of 1794 made Spring creek a public highway to the mouth of Logan’s branch and the Hale estate never owned anything more than the land to low water mark. While they have the right of the dam for water power they do not have the right to work injury to similar rights above or below them. Bids for furnishing terra cotta pipe for the new West ward sewer were opened and as they were exactly the same, with the exception of a difference of 1-5 of a cent on one grade of pipe the letting was placed in the hands of the committee, with power to act. A communication was received from C. Y. Wagner offering to lease the mill part of the new Phoenix pumping station. He offered $400, but though it was referred to a committee it was the sense of council that the proposition should be rejected because it wanted control of the steam power at the station, whereas it might have to he used to supplement the water during dry periods. Other business of minor importance was transacted and the following hills were ap- proved before adjournment : Streel pay Yoll.........ciconnninvee meriisiinn seesteive Bellefonte Electric Co.. - Total........ MceMABON—HOUSER. — The marriage of Mr. John Houser and Miss Marge Mec- Mahon, which was celebrated at the resi- dence of Rev. Father McArdle, on Bishop street, on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, was an event of more than pass- ing interest. Aside from the fact that both the young people are popular with their coterie of friends and much interest was manifested in their nuptials John is a prominent Undine and the members of that company had to do things up brown. according to their own ideas. When the wedding party, consisting of the bride and groom and Mr. Abe Houser, the groom’s brother, as hest man, and Miss Annie Danlevy, of DuBois, the maid, emerged from the parish house, their cab had disappeared and in its stead was the fire pat rol wagon of the Undine company. It was a case of ride in it or walk, so the party climbed into it and with the accom- paniment of clanging bells and tooting horns were driven to the home of the bride’s mother, on south Allegheny street, where the reception was held. Their departure for a trip west on an evening train was the signal for another demonstration that the bride and groom won’t soon forget and there was enough rice showered on them to supply the Jap- anese army. Upon their return Mr. and Mrs. Houser will go to housekeeping in this place. — ee GRAMLEY-HAINES.—Oune of the most notable nuptial events that has ocourred in Penns-valley in many years was the mar- riage at Rebersburg, last Wednesday even- ing, of Miss Alma E. Gramley and Mr. M. Clande Haines. The bride is a daughter of superintendent of public schools C. L.. Gramley and has long been a favorite in the social set in which she reigned, consequently her mar- riage was the occasion of more than usual interest. The Gramley home had been tastefully decorated in white and green and about sixty of the most intimate relatives and friends were present to witness the cere- mony, which was performed by the Rev. Bixler, of the Lutheran church. Miss Elizabeth DuBois played the wedding march. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Orpha and Lynn Emerick, of Rebersburg, was the groom’s man. Florence Heckman, of Clintondale, and Harry Hub- ler, of Rebersbhurg, were the flower-bearers and we hope that blossoms just as fragrant as they bore may strew the path of Mr. and Mrs. Haines through life. Immediately after the ceremony an in- formal reception was held and refresh- ments served. : The groom is a son of Mr. George B. Haines, of Rebersburg, and is in business there with his father. an TAN SPECIAL TRAINS FOR COMMENCEMENT. —For the convenience of those desiring to attend the forty-fourth annual commence- ment of The Pennsylvania State College, June 11th to 16th, the Bellefonte Central R.
