THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
——The Undines and their big picnic at
Hecla Park on July 4th will be “it.”
——Seventeen horses were sold at the
Millheim sale last Saturday at an average
price of $175.
G. Wesley Gray, a well known
farmer of Patton township,suffered a stroke
of paralysis on Saturday and very little
hope of his recovery is entertained.
——Tonight the reception at the Acad-
emy will occupy the attention of the friends
and patrons of that institution. At its
close the annual dance will be held in the
armory.
——DLunday Lucas is the new mail carrier
for the rural route in Union township ;
Chappie Underwood is his alternate. He
made his firss trip on June 1st and found
forty mail boxes in place.
——Landsy and Antrim, the Philadel-
phia artists, are showing another very ex-
cellent portrait of a Bellefonte gentleman.
It isin oils and was executed for Col. J.
L. Spangler. The likeness is exceptional
and the coloring sosoft as to make it a very
pleasing picture.
——The marriage of Miss Marion Hard-
ing Curtin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Wilson Curtin, to Mr. James Davis Win-
sor Jr., will be celebrated at ‘‘Bretona,’’
their country seat, near Philadelphia, on
Thursday, June 16th. The bride-elect is
a grand-daughter of the late Governor
Curtin.
——At a meeting of the Bellefonte school
board Monday evening it was organized for
the new year by the election of Cap. A. C.
Mingle as president. All the other officers
were re-elected. The report of the board
this year will show a better condition of
finance than ever before.
——Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hunter came
home from Philadelphia on Tuesday hav-
ing brought their listle daughter Nancy
with them. She underwent an operation
for enlargement of the glands of the neck
while in the city and it is to be hoped that
the relief secured will be permanent.
Quite an interesting tennis tourz:a
ment is being played by the students at
the Bellefonte Academy. That institution
makes an important feature of the physical
development of its students by caring for
the body as well as the mind, with such
sports as do not interfere with class room
duties.
——According to an order recently pro-
mulgated from regimental headquarters
Co. B, Fifth Reg. will attend the ceremo-
nies incident to the unveiling of the monu-
ment to Gen. Hawkins, of the Tenth,
which will occur in Pittsburg tomorrow.
The company will leave this evening and
return Sunday.
——Edgar T. Burnside has leased the
Haupt fruit orchards on Pardue mountain
and will try his hand at apple and pear
raising during the summer; not so much
for the wealth he expects to get out of it,
but merely as an experiment and a means
of diversion while recuperating his health
ab their place on the mountain.
-—The second annual reunion of the
Hazel and Shaeffer families will occur at
Hecla park, next Wednesday, June 15th.
While the occasion is one designed express-
ly for the kith and kin of the two families
mentioned they cordially invite any of
their friends who might care about meet-
ing with them on that day. The Zion
baud will be there to furnish the music.
——The flags on the State College main
building and armory were hung at half-
mast Tuesday, May 31st, the day of Sena-
tor Quaay’s faneral. Senator Quay was
associated with the late Gov. Curtin in the
early movements for the establishment of
the State College on the basis of the United
States Land-Graund of ’62, and, while he was
never actively identified with it he always
gave it his friendly and helpful support,
especially during the later years of his life.
——The friends of D. M. Kerlin, former-
ly of this county, who has been living at
Rudd, Towa, for years, will be glad to
Jearu that he is hale and hearty as be ap-
proaches his 820d year, though it will be a
matter of regret to know that he has near-
ly lost his eyesight. 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.

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.

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.

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-

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 :

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.

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.
