The wedding in question was that of Mr. Hayward Boone, of Clinton, Ky., and Miss Gertrude Irvin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wash Irvin, of this place, who were married Thursday afternoon, November 17th, at the Lacled hotel, St. Louis, by a resident Methodist minister. After spend- ing a week visiting the sights of the world's fair Mr. and Mrs. Boone departed for the groom’s home in Kentucky, where he conducts a large stationery store and is counted among the successful business men of the place. . In connection with this wedding there is more or less of romance. Three years ago Miss Irvin spent the winter with friends in Kansas City, Mo., and while there became acquainted with her future husband who is a direct descendant of the famous Daniel Boone. He was a very pleasant and industrious young man and before Miss Gertie returned to Bellefonte the two young people decided that their love for each other was mutual and they became engaged. Since that time they, had been corresponding with each other. Death ocduring recently in the family of the groom prevented him from coming to Bellefonte to claim his bride, so arrange- ments were made whereby she should go to St. Louis and there in a quiet way have the nuptial knot tied.

M. C. A. stands or falls and some of them, most able, who have not as yet contributed a cent to the new building gymnasium, we are glad to note that there are persons at a distance who appreciate this christian movement of the young men and are lending a helping hand to Belllonte. Congressman Porter, of Pittsburg, has just sent his check for $100, Platt-Barber and Co., the Philipsburg wholesale grocers on Tuesday sent their check for $100 and Congressman Dresser has sent his for $25. With each of these generons gifts has come a letter expressing the donor's belief in the Y. M. C. A. work and coming as they do, from business men of wide repu- tation we are constrained to remaik that they are admonitions to our Bellefonte business people to rally to the support of an institntion that must certainly bring good results to them, —— \ SI PLUNKARD CoMING.—The great im- peisonator of Yankee character, J. C. Lewis, supported by a grand double company, is to appear at Garman’s, Munday, Dec. 5th, 1904. The play is one of the most realis- tic pictures of country life ever drawn. It has four acts which are brim foll of funny situations and comic specialties. The com- pany carries a brass band and fall orchea- tra, of which every member is a solo artis, and make the famous and original Counn- try band parade which has heen so exten- sively imitated. nn ——Ralph Stewart Geary, the eight- year-old son of Daniel and Ellen Geary, of Millheim, died on Monday of last week of a complication of diseases. —— The remains of R. M. Magee, who died at his home in Philadelphia, Tues- day of last week, were brought to Belle- fonte on the 9 28 train Saturday morning and taken to the Reformed church where services were held at 11 o'clock. Rev. Ambrose Schmidt, the pastor, conducted the services and preached a most affecting sermon. Rev. Wm.

C. Heinle, P. Gray Meek, D. F. Fortney, H. Y. Stitzer, Jared Harper and John P.Harris. Joseph Bros, & Co. vs M. W. Cowdrick. Appeal, plea, non assampsit. On calling over the list of cases for trial the second week of court it was found that in every case except one a continnance was asked for on various reasons, and the court announced that he would not hold court next week merely to try one case, so the sheriff was requested to notify all parties summoned as jurors to stay at home. The first case on trial was that of the Commonwealth vs William Gilliland, Jobn Gilliland aud Jacob Jackson, indiot- ed for larceny, prosecntor George Dale. The. case was one in which the defendants were charged with stealing meat from the smoke house of the prosecutor. =A verdict of guilty was rendered by the jury. In the case of the Commonwealth vs Charles Hardy, the defendant was indicted for larceny for stealing $20jand a gold watch. A verdict of guilty but recom- mended to the mercy of the court was re- turned. Commonwealth vs. Craig Grassmire, de- sertion, prosecutor his wife Annie Grass- mire. Verdict not guilty but defendant pay the costs. Commonwealth vs. Mitchell Young, adultery: This ie the case reported in the WATCHMAN last week in which Young was charged with running away with the wife of fsaac Sager. A verdiot of guilty and recommended to the mercy of the court was returned. Commonwealth vs Mary Reed, assault and battery. This case was from Patton township and the one in which the defend- ant endeavored to stop the Bellefonte Cen- tral railroad company from using the wa- ter on her premises, even going so far as to threaten to shoot the men. Mss. Reed is the woman who also shot constable Henry Montgomery in the finger when he went there to serve a warrant on her. Evidence was heard in the case of the railroad com- pany against the defendant after which Mrs. Reed plead guilty to all the indict- ments against her under a certain agree- mens, and sentence was suspended by the cours. Other cases disposed of were as follows: F. O. Hosterman and L. E. Stover, trading as Hosterman & Stover vs. Jona- than Harter. This case is an appeal from the decision of a justice of the peace and is a dispute on a book account and the roofing of a shed on the farm of the defendant in Penn township. Verdict in favor of the plaintiff for forty-eight dollais and forty-one cents. Commonwealth vs. Zwiogli Weaver, prosecutrix Lizzie Evert, charge betrayal. Defendant plead guilty and the usnal sen- tence in similar cases was imposed. Commonwealth vs, John Miller,colored, indicted for betrayal, prosecutrix Mary E. Fry. Defendant plead guilty and tbe usual sentence was imposed. Commonwealth vs. Earl Freeman, indict- ed for laiceny from Montgomery's store in Bellefonte, prosecutor C. W. Smith. Defendant plead guilty.
