When court convened, on Tuesday, ex-judge A. O. Farst, one of she counsel for the defendants, again asked for a continuance, first, because he had a bad cold and was in no condition physically to do justice to his client’s cause, and,second, because the depositions taken in securing evidence to substantiate several of their reasons for wanting a new trial had not been paid for as no arrangement bad been made with the county commissioners for the witness fees, and he asked the court for an order on the commissioners to pay the witnesses. Judge Love in reply said that he never heard of a case where parties wans- ing a new trial asked that their expenses be paid by the county and that he could not grant th= order. And as to another continuance of the case, it had already been continued too long and thas argument must be made that day. Mr. Furst made the argument for the prisoners, speaking over an hour and confining himself closely to the reasons for a new trial as published in the WATCHMAN a month ago. District Attorney N. B. Spangler made the argu- ment for the Commonweath. He was very brief, talking only about fifteen minutes. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Love took the papers in the case for ex- amination and consideration. It is quite likely the court’s decision will be handed down within a week, when, if a new trial be refused, the prisoners will he sentenced. > ALMOST ASPHYXIATED.—Ambrose Ray, a brother of S. D. Ray, Esq., was so nearly as phyziated with coal gas last Friday night that it required the most strenuous measures on the part of the attending physicians to revive him, which was done only after several hours of hard work. Mr. Ray has a furniture repair shop on east Howard street in the rear of whichis a room which he has comfortably furnished as a sitting and hed room combined, tak- ing his meals at his brother’s house. Ambrose is usually an early riser and around in time for breakfast. [Last Sat- urday morning, however, when the family of S. D. Ray were ready for the morning meal Ambrose bad not appeared. Merely thinking that be had overslept himself they ate their breakfast and Mr. Ray went to his office. Eight o'clock came and Ambrose had not appeared. Beginning to feel some alarm Mrs. Ray sent one of her daughters up to see what was wrong. The girl found the doors of Ambrose’s shop locked, all the windows fastened and the curtains down and though she called loudly and knocked on the doors and_win- dows there was no answer from within. When the girl returned and told her mother the conditions, as she found them, Mr. S. D. Ray was hastily summoned and be, making his way to the shop as quickly as possible, broke open the door and was almost overcome by the rush of gas from within. As soon as he could doso Mr. Ray made his way to the rear room and carried his brother into the fresh air, send- ing a burry call for the doctor. and it was almost noontime before Ambrose was fully revived. It appears that he had gone to bed as usual after fixing the fire so it would keep till morning. Sometime during the night the stove pipe came apart, thus al- lowing the smoke and gas to escape into the room, soon filling the compartment and overpowering the unconscious sleeper. Had Ambrose not been discovered when he was it would in all probability have been too late to have saved his life. —_— on _ MRs. LOWERY’S SURPRISE. — It isn’$ often that husband’s are thoughtful enough to plan anything unusual in the way of a surprise for their better-balf and when an incident of that kind does occur it is all the more gratifying to the party most interested. Last Friday was Mrs. Henry Lowery’s forty-second birthday anniversary and in hovor of the event her husband and daughters arranged a surprise party for that evening. Not dreaming of anything of the kind Mrs. Lowery was al- most over-come with pleasurable emotion over the kind thoughtfulness of her hus- band and children and it is hardly neces- sary to say that the evening was a most enjoyable one for all. : The guests present were Rev. J. A. Wood and wife, C. C. Shuey and wife, J. I. Ole- wine and wife, M. I. Gardner and wife, J. P. Smith and wife, John Meese and wife, Christ Beezer and wife, J. W. Barn- hart and wile, James S.

No explanation can be given of his unfortunate affliction. — Ome —— Every one of the eighty colts at the Gentzle & Beezer sale at the Haag house stables on Tuesday were sold, and it took auctioneer W. F. Smith, of Millheim, just two hours and filteen minutes to ges rid of them, and that at very good prices. One team of yearlings brought $160 while a pair of weanlings sold for $70.

Becker had brought suit against the merchant for as- sault which occurred on January 23rd last. In a business dispute an umbrella tip was pushed through Becker’s chin. The latter said it was intentional, while Liv- eright protested that it was an accident. The cours didn’t have much faith in the accident theory, however. ——— ——The hunting season for small game opened last Saturday but up to this writ- ing there has heen no surplus of game noticeable in Bellefonte. In fact hunters who bave been out —and about every man who owned or could borrow agun has been out—deolare that they never saw game as scarce as it is so far this season. Reports have been received of the killing of perhaps a half dozen wild turkeys, a couple dozen pheasant, an aggregate of possibly one hundred squirrels, but not one quail. nn ——The social doings that have been and are to be in West End is making it, at present, gay enough to perfectly accord with this the gayest season of the year. Last Friday evening Mrs. Geo. Grimm gave a card party. Saturday afternoon Mrs. Ross Parker entertained with cards. Tuesday evening Miss Carrie Harper bad a Flinch party. On Friday evening Mrs. Witmer Smith entertained in honor of Mrs. Shope, of Miflinburg, and Mrs. Soott, of Brookville. Several other card parties are arranged for but the dates have not, as yet, been definitely settled. see AAA eeeeenem ——Job, of Biblical fame, got his rep- utation for patience because of the nu- merous boils from which he suffered but we'll wager a little red apple he never wore one-half the expression of martyrdom that has characterized the features of Mr. Emil Joseph the past week because of the beautiful Job's comforter be is wearing on the bottom of his chin. “The big slump in’ steel wasn’t in it for a minute as a woe. be-gone expression maker and it .wounld take as much as another soar of Rock Island and a big snow storm to bring even the faintest semblance of a smile on his face. Oar sympathy is extended. the valley until Wednesday noon when he AXOTHER OF His Goop Acts. — Few of us appreciate the pleasure others find in doing good turns to those about them. There are those in this world whose prin- cipal enjoyment is in trying to make some- /|-one happy—not very many of them, to be | sure, but there are such, and of them is big-hearted, clever, John Uzzle, of Snow Shoe. When-he is not sending trout, a venison or some other kind of game to his newspaper friends, or running his legs off trying to do a kindness to someone in need, he keeps himself busy thinking what he can do that his neighbors or friends will enjoy and when he once thinks it out, it goes no matter what the cost or trouble to himself may be. His latest in this line was an entertain- ment and supper for the entire lodge of Odd Fellows at Snow Shoe. This was given at Mr. Uzzle’s home on Thursday evening of last week and was attended by almost the entire membership of the lodge accompanied by the ladies of their families. When Mr. Uzzle gives an entertainment it means more than an ordinary supper. It means everything that is good, and as much of it as everybody wants and that was just the condition on this occasion. It was a great lay-out. Nothing that any appetite could wish but was there to be partaken of and in such abundance that there will be no excuse for Snow Shoe having a bungry Odd Fellow for the next month. After the supper the Misses Uzzle en- tertained the party with most excellent music until late in the evening when the party adjourned feeling that it was good to live in a community with such a whole- souled citizen and such accomplished ladies ag is Mr. Uzzle and his popular daughters. SEVERELY INJURED.—Saturday even- ing when Randolph Hoy was on his way from State College to Bellefonte he met with a most painful accident. He was driving a rather fractious horse and when about three miles out of Bellefonte he met Prof. Foss in his automcbile. The horse began to sby and Mr. Hoy attempted to jump from the vehicle and hold the horse by the bridle. Just when he made the leap the horse jumped and instead of alighting on the ground Ran fell astride the wheel and was thrown to the ground. He pluckily held to the lines, however, until the automobiling party went to his assistance. Though the flesh was badly torn on both limbs Mr. Hoy got into the ‘buggy and drove into Bellefonte alone. He went to his room in the Bush House where a physician dressed his injuries and on Sunday, though feeling very sore he was out and around, returning to College, Monday morning. AA THEIR FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY— Wed- nesday of last week Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Murray, of Centre Hall, celebrated their fitsieth wedding anniversary in an unique way. They leisurely drove from Centre Hall to Bellefonte and return, covering the same road they did on the day of their marriage fifty years ago and noting the many and wonderful changes and improve- ments wrought in a half century of time. Mr. and Mrs. Murray have lived continu- ously in Centre Hall the past fifty years and during shat time bave enjoyed the respect and confidence of every resident. They saw Centre Hall grow from a hamlet to the most important town on the South side of Centre county. Mr. Murray bas ‘been a progressive citizen. During his early life he conducted a wagon-maker shop, then took up the general agency for the first mower and harvesting machines, and later, about 1878, he purchased the drug store which he has since conducted in a most successful way. UNDER $1,000 BAIL FOR TRIAL.—In last week’s WATCHMAN was given the par- ticulars of the shooting of Constable Henry Montgomery by Mrs. Mary A. Reed, of Buf- falo Run. Saturday morning she appear- ed before Justice John M. Keichline in this place, for a hearing in the case against | ber of the Bellefonte Central railroad Co. The evidence was strong in favor of the company and Mrs. Reed was held for trial in court. At the conclusion of the hearing she was again arrested on a warrant sworn out by Mr. Montgomery charging her with shooting at him. On this case Mrs. Reed waived a hearing and was also held for trial, $500 bail in each case being asked and furnished. Mrs. Reed, who is a woman about sixty years of age, now expresses sorrow for what she did, bus says she will be in court for trial if she is living. eee QA eee. HowARrD CREAMERY BUILDING BURN- ED.—Several weeks ago the new creamery, owned by David Wilson, at Howard was totally detroyed by fire, the second time it was burned in less than eighteen months. Mr. Wilson at once puta large force of men to work on the erection of a new building which was about completed, though mo machinery had yet been in- stalled when, last Thursday night, it was again burned to the ground. There seems to be little question but that all the fires, and especially the last two, where the work of an incendiary. It is not known if the last building destroyed was insured or not.

V. Pugh and other friends in Bellefonte, Mr. Bond Valentine departed Monday morning for his home in Philadelphia. —Hon. Wm. M. Allison, of Spring Mills, was a Bellefonte visitor on Monday.

Holloway’ returned on Monday from a visit to the St. Louis exposition and the reverend gentleman says he will now have a course of lectures enough to last all the winter. —Capt. W. C.

She will visit at her former home there and in Williamsport for a few days before going on to New York to resume her work as a trained nurse. —Our old friend Frederick Bartley, of Curtins Works, was in town last week looking so hale and hearty that we could not help remarking that transplanting has had little effect in his case. In fact he looked even healthier than he did when living down in Nittany valley. —Jas. Furst, son of Hon. A. O. Furst, left for Pasadena, Cal., on Monday afternoon. He is go- ing to the Slope with the hope of finding perma- nent employment in that congenial clime. He joined Dr. and Mrs. T. R. Hayes in Chicago, Tues- day evening, for the journey together. —Mr. Edward Lucas who a number of years ago was a clerk in Samuel Lewins’ store on Allegheny street but who now is manager of Fabian’s gents’ furnishing store, on Eighth street, Philadelphia, arrived in Bellefonte on Sunday and spent the day in greeting old friends hereabouts. Monday he departed on the Lewisburg train for Penns Cave for a week's visit with his parents. —After accompanying her sister, Mrs. Louis Wetzel and family to Toledo, O., and seeing that they were comfortably settled in their new home and paying a visit to friends in Niles, Mich., Mrs. C. U. Hotter returned to Bellefonte last Friday, spent the night at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. T.

Y., where he is now located, to Bellefonte to act as lightning-slinger and all- around right hand man for agent Harry Hutchin- son, at the Pennsylvania passenger station,dur- ing the absence of operator Ferguson at the world’s fair. The wheel of time brings changes everywhere but Mr. Pletcher does not seem to have changed a hair since he did the regular trick here about five years ago. —Mr. Walter G. Darlington, the man who guides the helm over the political page of the Philadelphia Sunday North American, was a Bellefonte visitor between trains on Wednesday. Mr. Darlington, who is an apt and most versatile writer, was on a flyer through the State sizing up the political situations in local districts. He came here from Altoona, where he had been get- - ting a lead on the congressional fight in the Blair- Bedford district and trying to size up the sena- torial and legislative candidates as to their ideas about “‘press muzzling,” to pick np a few facts on the present status of the judicial fight in Cen- tre county—and when last seen, he had the facts. —Mr. Steele C. Hunter and his brother, Mr. William Hunter, of Axe Mann, departed on Wednesday fora ten day's visit in Pittsburg, where a son and two daughters of Mr. Steele Hunter reside. When we saw the two gentlemen, who look enough alike to be twins let alone brothers, going to the train and learned that they were really going away from Bellefonte for a week or ten long days—an epoch of very rare occurrence in the lives of either—the first thought was that something unusual was sure to occur and we only hope, if such is the case, that it will not be of a calamitous nature nor that anything may befall the two gentlemen to mar the pleasure of this trip. § —Mr. Daniel W. Remer, who the past eigh- teen months has been head clerk in Krumrine’s drug store, gave up his job on Wednesday and went forth to find ‘new worlds to conquer.” In saying find we do not mean that Dan resigned his position without having anything else in sight as that is not the case. He has five very flattering offers from responsible drug firms in Philadelphia and it only remains with him to se- lect the one most suited to his fancy. Mr. Re- mer made many friends while in Bellefonte by his ever pleasant and congenial manner and in his clerical duties in the drug store one could travel a long way and not find one more able and efficient. Mr. Remer went from here to Patton where he attended a dance last night before go- ing on to Philadelphia. —Rev. J. A. Wood, Jr., returned last Friday from a four day’s pleasant sojourn among his old parishoners in Curwensville, it being just five years since he was pastor of the M. E. church in that place. On Sunday he preached a very ap- propriate and eloquent sermon to the Bellefonte firemen and they turned out very largely to hear him. Just forty-one Logans were present in uniform while quite a number were present in civilian clothes. Before going to the church they took up a little collection and put five dol- lars in an envelope and marked it personal, as a gift to the pastor,while the collection plate when passed around in the church was just nine dol- lars richer because of the presence of the fire laddies. In addition to the Logans a large num- ber of the Undines were aleo present. —Mrs. Rose Lyon, nee Sternberg, of Philadel- phia, is visiting Bellefonte friends. —Tuesday afternoon Mrs.Jas. Woomer departed for her old home in-Tioga, called there by the very sudden death of her father. =~ | ¢ —Mrs, C. G. McMillen, after a visit of six ‘weeks with Mrs. J. L. Spangler, left for her home in Dayton, on Tuesday afternoon. —Miss Natt and Mrs. Abram Valentine return- ed home Wednesday evening after ja long visit with Mr, and Mrs. Arthur Valentine in Crafton. —Mrs. W.

She was in town over Sunday on her way home after several weeks of a visit with Mrs. Georgiana Dale, at Lemont. —A. Trude Bidwell, who is now a student of Uncle Sam at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, surprised his friends here by a brief visit homo on Wednesday, returning Thursday ‘morning. It speaks well for the Bellefonte schools and for the young man in particular to know that in his entire class Cadet Bidwell stands first in algebra and third in French while his fall rating is above the average. —Mrs. Miller after a long visit with her moth- er, Mrs. Patsy Stuart, returned to Hagerstown, Md., on Wednesday. It isnot always that one’s expectations in doing great things are realized as were Dave Stuart’s in his big pnmpkin, for,while he does not acknowledge it, that doubtless was the reason he gathered together a house full of visitors at fair time to witness his blazing triumph. —Miss Martha McWilliams, an old Ferguson township resident but who now makes her home in Philadelphia with her sister Mrs. Stevenson, came down from Tyrone, where she had been visiting, to spend yesterday and today with Dr. and Mrs. Van Tries. The comforts and luxuries of city life are never so much appreciated and their indispensability realized as when one long accustomed to them has to be accommodated to all sorts of means of tra nsportation, roads ete. When our county takes advantage of the Grout Road Bill and we all invest in automobiles as we doubtless will when the highways are such as to make it advisable, then can Miss McWilliams and everyone else hope to comfortably travel to see all old friends in any part of the county. ee RACHEL GOLDSTEIN.—‘‘Rachel Gold- stein,” or ‘“The Struggles of a Poor Girl in New York,” which is announced for presentation at the Garman opera house next Monday evening, Oct. 24th, tells the story of a young Yiddish girl, who, in emi- grating to America with her father, meets with many startling adventures. In the end the girl develops into an accomplished and beautiful young woman and marries the man of her choice. In the play there is a storm at sea, a thrilling murder, a horse- whipping scene, and the sensational death of the female villain. These exciting incidents are relieved by comedy, which is really funny, and a love story which is so troe and sincere that it goes at once to the hearts of the audience. Rachel ‘Goldstein will he played by Miss Louise Beaton, a young actress who has attracted much favorable comment by her previous good work, and a strong supporting company. The scenic effects are on an unusually elaborate scale, and include a sensational storm at sea, Long Acre Square at nighs, the Steerage Deck of the S.S. “Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse,’* Hester Street on a busy day, the front of the Hoffman House and the famous Flatiron ' Building in the dgtance as well as a mansion on Riverside rive, Pablic Sale.
