Dorworth and Miss May Sullivan Crider were united in mar- riage at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Crider, of east Linn street. The nuptial ceremony took place promptly at 7 o’clock and was witnessed by only the relatives of the contracting parties and a few intimate friends. The interior of the Crider residence was taste- fully . decorated with palms, evergreens and potted plants while the spacious east parlor, in which the ceremony took place, had been specially arranged for the oc- casion. Promptly at the appointed hour Miss Nancy Courtright, of Beverly, N. J., began the beautiful wedding march by Lohengrin. This was the signal for the Rev. John A. Wood, Jr., of the Methodist church, who officiated, and Rev. William Laurie, of the Presby- terian church, who assisted in the cere- mony, to take their places at the marriage altar, and almost simultaneous the wed- ding party appeared, entering in the fol- lowing order : First came the groom accompanied by his only brother, William J. Dorworth, as best man entering from the dining 100m. |. Then followed the maid of honor, Miss Mary Isabel Crider, a sister of the bride, attired in a gown of point-de-sprit and carrying a shower bouquet of pink roses preceding the bride and her father, Mr. F. W. Crider, who came down the long stair case and proceeded through the hall to the arch of the parlor where they were met by the groom and his best man. The bride wore a gown of white chiffon cloth heavily trimmed with Duchess lace a talle veil with a - beautiful fleur- de-lis pin of pearls and diamonds, the gift of the groom, and carried a shower bouquet of white roses, lillies of the val- ley and maiden bairfern. The ring cere- mony was used by the officiating min- isters. Immediately following the ceremony and congratulations of the friends an elaborate wedding dinner was served. The wedding reception began at 8 o’clock, the bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Crider and Dr. and Mrs. E. S. Dorworth receiving the sev- eral hundred friends who came to tender congratulations and good wishes to the young couple. It was after 10 o'clock when the bride and groom, in their own car and the visiting newspaper- men in another car departed on a special train for Tyrone and the east. The groom is a son of Dr. and Mrs. E. S. Dorwortb, of this place, and is a graduate of the Bellefonte Academy. Early in life he showed a penchant for newspaper work, frequently contributing news items to the various papers of the town. He got his first real newspaper training in the cam- paign of 1894 when he accompanied the Hastings party throughout the State in the interest of the Philadelpbia Inquirer. In the fall of 1895 he became local editor of the Daily News, in this place, a position he filled for over a year. From Bellefonte he went to. Harrisburg as a stenographer in one of the department offices and a year or s0 later accepted a pcsition as reporter on the Philadelphia Press. Since that time he has been employed continuously either on the Press or the Pittshurg Times and now holds the very responsible position of State political writer on the Press. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and M:s. F. W. Crider, one of Belle- fonte’s leading [amilies, and is a young woman of many accomplishments andj charming graces. The presents she received were numerous, valuable and useful, consisting of almost every- thing necessary to farnish and adorn a home ; among them were two chests of flat silver, a silver tea service, sil- ver vegetable dishes, many pieces of ex- quisite cut glass and a wealth of rare china, vases and bric-a-brac, Among the out-of-town guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Henderson, Charles Henderson, and the Misses Hen- derson, of Montgomery, Pa. ; Miss Bar- rows, Williamsport ; Caleb North and Miss Elizabeth North, Washington, D. C. ; Miss Nancy Courtright, Beverly, N. J. ; Mrs. Charles Cochran, Williamsport ; Mrs. Mary M. Jacobs, George Jacobs, Seattle, Wash- ingtou ; John Jenkins, Miss Annie Jenkins, Mise Graee Jenkins, Milton, Pa. ; David Jenkins, Steelton, Pa. The newspaper men and personal friends of the groom who attended the wedding were Max G. Leslie, chairman Pittsharg Republican Committee ; Hon. F. W. Ed- wards, ex-member Legislature ; Morgan E. Gable, managing editor of the Times ; F. W. Strayer, Dispatch ; Chester D. Potter, Gazette, allf of Pittsburg, Pa. W. W. Long, city editor of Press; S. R. Kirkpatrick, W. R. D. Hill. as- sistant night editor of the Press; W. G. Weart, assistant sporting editor of Press ; Peter J. Hobin and C. R. Michael, of the Ledger ; Geo. J. Brennan, Inquirer ; Peter Bolger, Record ; Col. C. L. Hopkins,South- ern railroad passenger agent, all of Phila- delphia. Of the ante-wedding festivities none were fraught with more real pleasure than the dinner the groom gave for a party of his friends at the Nittany Counry club on Wednesday afternoon. A special train carried the guests to the club; leaving here at 11 A. M. The bours until the dinner was served were spent in gunning and in contributing to the fortunes of the genial gentleman who does State politics for the Philadelphia Inquirer. The dinner of roast pig and roast turkey, with all the accesor- ies of a well regulated country club, was a splendid one and the way the groom’s newspaper friends dallied at the tables was the best criterion of its excellence. In ad- dition to the gentlemen mentioned above there were present Mr. W. R. Jenkins, H. E. Jenkins, Dr. E. 8. Dorworth, William J. Dorworth, J. Thomas Mitchell, Esq., Harry Keller, Esq., Francis Speer, of the Gazette; Chas. R. Kurtz, of the Democrat: and Geo. R. Meek, of the WATCHMAN. oe rr— JosgpH L. NEFF INJURED) IN RAIL. ROAD ACCIDENT.—Mr. Joseph L. Neff, the auctioneer and one of the best known men in Centre county, now lies in the Belle- fonte hospital suffering with paiufuol in- juries sustained by being run down by a freight train while crossing the railroad track at Curtin station last Saturday morn- ing and it was nothing less than marvelous that Mr. Neff escaped being killed ont- right. Mr. Neff lives on his farm near Roland and early Saturday morning he left his home to drive to Unionville, where be was booked to cry a sale that day. It was just about 8 o’clock when he reached the station at Curtin and when driving over the railroad his horse and buggy were struck squarely by an east-bound freight train. Mr. Neff was burled a distance of filthy feet and was picked up unconscious from alongside the railroad track. The buggy was broken into little bits while the horse was knocked and dragged together a distance of two hundred feet, being dead when found. Mr. Neff was carried into the depot at Curtic and a burried examination made which disclosed a broken shoulder blade, various outs and bruises and it was feared that he was injured internally. The un- fortunate man was brought to Bellefonte on the 1:05 train and taken to the hospital where he was given every attention possi- ble. Upon a thorough examination is was found that the fracture of the shoulder blade with the superficial contusions were the extent of the man’s injuries, though his nervous system was somewhat racked from the shock of the accident. The frac- tured bone was set and his other injuries dressed by the physicians in charge and at this writing Mr. Neff is getting along very well with no doubt at all about his recov- ery. Eye witnesses to the accident say it was simply a miracle that Mr. Neff escaped as hedid. He is a man 68 years of age. His hearing is somewhat defective and Sat- urday morning he was driving along with the curtains on his buggy down. Know- ing that it was not time for any of the passevger trains Mr. Neff doubtless never thought of a freight train coming along at that hour, while those who saw the ac- cident supposed Mr. Neff would stop to leave the train go by and when they realiz- ed that he did not see the approaching train it was too late to stop him. i ee StiTSON’s UNCLE Tom's CABIN.—The survival of ‘‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’’ at the dawn of the 20th Century is something to marvel over, butit is an assured fact. The elaborate renovation of the old play by Manager Washburn. of the Stetson Company, in a new pictorial dress with up-to-date methods plentifally displayed thoughout its balf-a-dozen acts, furnishes ample proof that ‘‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’’ is still potent. Special scenery for every scene depicted, enlarged choruses of genuine negroes from the cotton-belt, modern up-to-date specialties, two male and female quartettes, a hand of Alabama pickaninnies, a gorgeous cakewalk ina pretty setting entitled “The Palace of Silver Mat,’’ improved light effects and mechanical illusions will be seen in the Stetson production of this famous play. The presenting company in some instances is a double o ne aud contains the names of nunerons footlight favorities. The street parade is said to be the longest, richest and best ever given by a theatrical com- pany. The Stetson Company is hooked at Garman’s opera house, Saturday eve- ning, Dec. 3rd. Matinee in the afternoon. Matinee prices 10 and 25¢. to all parts of the house. oe ot WirH THE I. O. O. F.—A special session of the Grand Lodge I. O. O. F. was held in Bellefonte, Tuesday evening, for the pur- pose of conferring Past Grand and Grand Lodge degrees.

Chubback, of Towanda ; grand maishall Harry Metzger and grand secretary Joseph H. Mackey, of Philadelphia, and con- ductor Grant McGlathery, of Norristown. Delegations were present from Centre Hall, State College, Lemont and other places. In the evening Mr. J. C.

Carson as postmistress: (The re-establish- ment of the office is dug in a large meas- ure to the untiring efliorts of merchant Frank A. Carson, in whoge store the office will he located. The reopening of the office is in accord with !the desire of the majority of the patrons in that section. aE JoNEs—AMMERMAN.— Tuesday evening of last week Mr. William Jones, of Phil- ipsburg. and Miss Agatha, Ammerman, of Unionville, were married! at the home of the bride's brother, Mr. Carl Ammerman, 814 Eleventh avenue, Altoona. The cer- emony was performed by Rev. G. M. Klepfer. Mr. and Mrs. Jofes took a honey- moon trip to Philadelphia and other eastern cities and have now gone to housekeeping in Philipsburg. | WILLIAM DALEY TERRIBLY CRIPPLED IN RAILROAD ACCIDENT.— William Daley, conductor of the yard engine crew as the Nittany furnace met with an accident last Fiiday morning that bas already necessi- tated the amputation of both his limbs, rendering him a hopeless cripple, and may yet cost him his life, although at this writ- ing the physicians in attendance declare the man’s chances favorable for recovery. Thanksgiving’s 1ain and sleet 1endered the ground quite slippery. Conductor Daley had the night turn and it was jost about four o’clock Friday morning when the engine was heing backed into the cinder pit to take outa pot of cinder. Daley was on the back end of the tender and just above the frog leading ont onto the siding he jumped off to make a coup ling. In doing so he slipped and fell on the track the tender passing over both his legs. No one saw the accident happen and the first knowledge the mien had that any- thing serious had ocourred was when the engineer saw the body of Mr. Daley lying alongside the track. The engineer was running very slowly and was able to stop his engine before the body of Mr. Daley was further mangled under the driving wheels. The unfortunate man was removed as quickly as possible from beneath the engine, conveyed to the Bellefonte hospital and his family sens for, as it was feared he would not recover from the shock of the accident. An examination disclosed the fact that the wheels of the engine had passed over both legs, crushing them hadly. Early Friday morning the right leg was ampu- tated about five inches above the knee and it was then hoped that it would be possible to save the left leg. By Saturday night, however, the condition of the left leg was such that the physicians in attendance feared blood poisoning and it was decided that an amputation of the limb was the surest way to give hope of Mr. Daley's recovery and the operation was performed at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. The patient withstood the operation very well and since that no serious complications bave set in and the physicians feel very hopeful for his recovery. Mr. Daley is a man about 45 years old and, with his wife and four children lives ou east Lamb street. He has heen a rail- roader most all his life, having heen em- ployed by the Pennsylvania. the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania and last by the Nittany Iron company. A number of years ago, while employed by the Central Rail- road of Pennsylvania he met with a bad accident hy heing crushed between two cars since which time he has never been as strong and healthy as he was prior to the accident ; and it was because of this injury that he was taken off the road and given a ‘job in the yard at the Nittany furnace. The train erew of which Mr. Daley had charge last week consisted of James Miller, engineer ; William Peters, fireman and Bruce Peters, brakeman. The engine was No. 1. ovo THE GETTIG, BOWER & ZERBY LAW FIRM. — Judge-elect Ellis L. Orvis will take the oath of office on the first Monday in January and will then he judge of the Centre county courts for the ensuing ten years, if he lives. Mr. Orvis’ accession to the bench naturally compels the dissoln- tion of the old law firm of Orvis, Bower & Orvis, the judge-elect being the last of the original three members of the firm. In order to keep the extensive practice of the old firm as intact as possible Samuel D. Gettig, John J. Bowerand W. D. Zerby have joined together in a law firm organ- ization to be known as Gettig, Bower & Zerby, attorneys-at-law, and successors to Orvis, Bower & Orvis., Although the new firm bas alieady been organized they will not start out in practice for themselves. until January 1st, 1905, when the old firm will be dissolved. Gettig, Bower & Zerby compose a trio of young attorneys who will no doubt make a very able and successful law firm. They have all been trained under the able tutor- age of Orvis, Bower & Orvis. Mr. Gettig, the senior member of the firm, read law under the late judge John H. Orvis as well as the other members of the firm, and was admitted to the bar in 1893, since which time he has been in the office of Orvis, Bower & Orvis and bad the advantage of their counsel. Jobn J. Bower, the second member of the new firm is a son of the late C. M. Bower. He is a graduate of Franklin & Marshall college, read law under the firm of which his father was a member and was admitted to the bar in 1900. W. D. Zerby, the junior member of the firm, is a gradnate of Bucknell, and he also got his law schooling under the firm of Orvis, Bower & Orvis. He was admitted to the bar only last August after having passed a most creditable examination before the Supreme court examining board. The new firm of Gettig, Bower & Zerby will start out under the most favorable auspices and we predict for them a large measure of | snecess in the fature.

Long, Esq., of Rush township who used to be a frequent visitor to Bellefonte, has evidently cetermined to make his trip over the mountain farther apart. In place of coming overto seehow the court was run this week he sent his representative over, and even had him come in and advance the tab on his copy of the Warcumax, —Grandmother Wolf, years ago a resident of Wolfs Store, this county, is lying dangerously ill at the home of her daughter, Mrs. D. M. Weaver, at Bellwood, Pa. Her advanced age, eighty some years, leaves but little hope of recov- ery, notwithstanding the affectionate care that is given her by Mrs. Weaver, and the many friends she has made since going to Blair county. —Mr, John H. Meyer, principal of the Belle- fonte High school, returned Sunday morning from a two week's vacation trip to Columbia, S.

And to hear him talk about the delightful weather down there just now, going driving without an_ overcoat, sitting around in your shirt sleeves, ete., while the glo- rious beauty of the mistletoe is prevalent every- where.

There are others who might follow Mr. M.'s example with great pleasure to absent friends and relatives, as with great satisfaction to them- selves as well. —Mr. Robert Mann, or in the more familiar phrase, “Bob” Mann the famous deer hunter was a juror in attendance at court this week and when he was not sitting on a jury regaled his nimrod chums here with stories of the chase— past, present and fature. Mr. Mann is one of the men it is always a pleasure to meet and though he has many friends in Bellefonte who make it pleasant for him whenever he strikes the county capital, yet it went pretty tough with him this week to tear himself away from the Panther hunting club for the last three days o. the ‘deer seascn to come to Bellefonte and serve his coun- try as a jaror. —The hospitable home of Dr. P. 8. Fisher, at Zion, has been the mecca for visitors the past week.

Cordie, of Oil City, and Mrs, George W. Campbell and Mrs, Sarah Fryberger, of Phila- delphia. And what was fuel for the doctor's yarns was the fact that Mr. Wm. H. Moore, of Pittsburg, was also a guest there several days while hunting on the adjacent mountains, and when he went home he: was laden with one wild turkey and a bunch of" pheasants, squirrels and rabbits. — ote ——VFifty guests attended the anuoual banquet of the Citizens hook and ladder company as Milesburg on Thanksgiving eve- ning.

THE PANTHER CLUB GETS FIvE DEER. —The Panther hunting club came home Wednesday night—not as in former years, with one little wee deer—but with five deer to their credit, four of which the Bellefonte contingent brought home with them. They had a forked-pronged buck, a doe and two fawns, nearly four hundred pounds of venison. The Panther club party this yearincluded, Linn and Jobn McGinley, R. S. Brouse, John and Andrew Knisely, Will Cassidy, M. A. Jackson, Harry Gerberich, J. A. Decker, Lewis Gettig and Bruce Garman, of Bellefonte, with Bob. Maun, the Heverlys Alf. Shaw- ley and Jas. Fye, of Curtin township. They were out at what is known as Fisher's hill, about eight miles beyond Eddy Lick. All told the party saw eleven or twelve deer, - five of which number they bagged. Those successful in bringing down one of the fleet-footed animals were Linn McGinley, M. A. Jackson, John McGinley, J. A. Decker and James Fye. It is hardly necessary to say that Panther club stock is now booming even faster than the U.S. steel. The Zimmerman party came in from a week’s hunt on Baker run, back of Renovo, on Wednesday, with four nice deer and a 200 pound bear. Editor T. H. Harter was a member of this party. The Haines party also came in on Wednesday with four deer. They had been out in the Green Woods the past two weeks. All in all the deer season this year was a fairly successful one for the hunters. ’ —_— CAME DowN WiTH THE PIE.—It is always poor policy for a candidate for any political office to make promises before- band, especially promises that may be difficult to keep, as district attorney-elect William Groh Runkle has found out to hiseorrow. The WATCHMAN above all others dislikes to give publicity toa mat- ter of this kind, that ‘twere better left untold, but when a candidate for such an important office seeks to bribea voter by the repeated promise of a certain emolu- ment, then itis not only the province but the duty of every self-respecting news- paper to call a halt. And in a case such as here recorded, when the individual makes his promise in the presence of a number of reputable witnesses. Of course it may only have been a joke of the district attorney-elect to offer a big apple pie, bus the joke was the other way when some of the hoys made it so warm for him that to escape their chaffing he had a big, fat and most delicious apple pie baZzed to order and delivered in prime condition. It is bardly necessary tosay that the man thas got the pie enjoyed it. eb. BEHRES-DECKER.—Mr. Harry Behres and Miss Edith Desker, two popular young people of State College, thought to steal a march on their friends and last 2vening drove to Pine Grove Mills where they were quietly married at the Lutheran parsonage by the Rev.-C. T. Aiken. The attendants were Mr. Luther Fye and Miss Florence Hoy. Following the wedding a reception was held at the home of the bride’s uncle, Mr. William Glenn, just east of Pine Grove. The WATCHMAN joins with their many friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Behres a happy journey through life. —_———— ete ; ——Go to the Katharine Ridgeway company entertainment tonight. re AA een.
