THE CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY TO BE CoNTINUED.—In a recent [issue of the WATCHMAN was published the report, covering a period of fifteen years, of the Children’s Aid Society of Centre county and the announcement that it wonld be- come defunct unless love of humanity moved some one to continue the good work so successfully and long carried on by Mrs. Kurtz and Miss Natt. Too deeply interested in such a philanthropic work to see it abandoned, Miss Natt is making an effort to insure its continuance aod has issued a call to the public for co-operation aod support. A meeting will be held this, Friday afternoon, at three o'clock in Petrikin Hall to reorganize the society and get the women of the town and county interested. = Mrs. Rankin. president of the western Children’s Aid, will preside. It is desired and hoped that many women will feel this urgent claim of a most worthy charity and give at least an hour of time this afternoon to attend the mees- ing. Even though ycu may not have money to contribute towards the further- ance of this work, your time and talent’s will be worth more than money and could 108 be better spent. For LOVE he inferes- +d in this Society, that means so much wood to poor children ‘and through them _ to the world, and attend this meeting. rrr Qo mem DONATIONS FOR THE HOSPITAL ASKED. —No public appeal has been made recently for donations for the hospital and a nam- ber of things are much needed.

A COWARDLY ASSAULTED BY A NEGRO. —Wednesday’s Altoona Tribune contained the following account of a cowardly assaulé on Miss Emma Love, sister of Judge John G. Love of this place and who is well known in Bellefonte as well as in the western part of Centre county, where she was born and grew to womanhood : ‘The people of Tyrone were thrown into a state of wild excitement Tuesday evening by a da~wuidiv and cowardly assault on Miss Emma Love,a sister of Judge John G. Love, of Bellefonte, and one of the most highly esteemed young ladies of Tyrone, at the bands of a cowardly and burly ne- gro. Miss Love resides near Nealmont,one of the suburbs of the town, with a sister. She bad been in Tyrone during the after- noon shopping, and left for her home about 7 o'clock. She rode tc Nealmont on a trolley car and started to walk to her home and when within a short distance of the house a burly negro stepped out from be- hind a tree, where he had been in hiding, and dealt her a murderous blow on the bead with a club, which felled her, uncon- scious, to the ground. In falling her head struck a sharp stone and a deep gash was cat in her forehead ahove the left eye. The negro probably thinking he had killed his victim, hurried away, and a few minutes later Miss Love recovered and managed to make her way to the house. A physician was summoned and her wounds dressed, and while undergoing the painful operation she related her experience. The police authorities of Tyrone were at once notified and a man hunt for the ne- gro was begun. The scene of the assault was visited and Miss Love’s purse was found, but the money it contained, about $5, was missing. A negro was picked up by one of the posses scouring the country, bus it is not thought that he was the assailant. The people are eager and anx- ious to capture the fellow, and to aid them a pair of man-trailing, bloodhounds, re- cently purchased in Boston by Clark Gra- zier, of Huntingdon Furnace, will be put on the trail in the hope of capturing the villain.”’ Since the above was put in type it is learned that two negroes, Edward Mills and Lewis Carnegie, who lived in a shanty not far from the Hamer mill, have been arrested on suspicion of Mills being the man who committed the assault. When the Grazier bloodhounds were secured and given the scent they followed the trail of Mills from the place where the orime was committed to the lock-up in which he was confined. Miss Love, however, failed to identify Mills as her assailant. —— Love DID Nor LAUGH AT THIS JOKE. —The Washington, D. C., Post, of Satur- day, tells the following story of the plight a newly wedded couple were in a few days ago in a hotel in that city. Inasmuch as the bride was formerly Miss Bessie Stroop, of Milesburg, well-known in this vicinity we republish the story so thas her friends may enjoy the joke that was evidently so embarrassing to the present Mr. and Mrs. McClure. ; *‘Mr. Frank McClure, connected with the Patton Water Company, of Patton, Pa., is at the Hotel Johnson with his bride on a honeymoon trip to the Capitol, and in the lobby of the hostelry is their trunk, bound about with forged iron bands, im- possible of being opened except with a cold chisel. The big trunk is not only steel clad but is the most gorgeously decorated affair ever used to hold a wedding troussean. The sardtoga is bedecked with hunches of American flags, and to it are attached half a dozen old shoes of various brands, to bring the happy couple good luck. Bat what luck is there in having a trunk hermetically sealed asks the groom? On the ends and sides of the trunk are in- scriptions warranted to bring bluehes to the cheeks of the bride every time she re- members that it reposes brazenly in the lobby, where all who pass may read. ‘‘Look at us,’’ says one of the inserip- tions. Another sign reads: ‘‘Ain’t we sweet.” Oa the ends, in chalk, passers-by may see ‘‘Just married” and ‘‘Dovie’s end.” On the top is a printed card, ar- ranged throngh the forethought of the friends of the happy pair. It contains the following : ‘‘Can’t you see that Frank and Bessie are on this train. off on their honeymoon.’ Everything is new to them; they don’t know how to act. Watch them grin. Isn’t that cute. Give them the glad hand.” The bride was Miss Elizabeth J. Stroop, of Milesburg, Pa. The friends of the bride and groom sent them off to the Capitol in style after the wedding, and they arrived at the Johnson on Thursday evening. eee lens THAT KARTHAUS FIRE BRICK Co.—A$ present there is a scene of activity about Karthaus, in Clearfield county, where a large force of men and teams are pushing the work of erecting the building and kilos of the new Karthauns Fire Brick company in order to get the operations advanced as far as possible before freezing weather sets in. The foundations have already been completed for the main building, which will be 70 feet wide by 250 feet in length, and an additional building 40x60 feet is also in course of construction. Work is being actively pushed on the foundations of ten kilns, which will bave a capacity of burning 30,000 brick per day, while ground has been stalked off and preparations are being made to huild the large shed for the storage of brick. Orders have been placed for a 200-horse-power engine and two boil- ers, with acapaocity of 125-horse-power each. The machinery to be installed will all be of the latest pattern, with a view of turning out the largest number of bricks with the least amount of labor, although the plant will give steady employment to a large number of men. As already stated, the olay to be used has heen thoroughly tested and found to be of a quality second to none in this section of the State. Hence the brick manufactured will be of the finest grade, for which a ready market will be found. ode ——Last Friday Mrs. William Reasner was taken to the Philipsburg hospital and was operated on the following day for cancer.
