N. A. Caulkins and Mrs. Mayzie Hoovler were arrested at State College, on W ednesday, on the oharge of adultery, broecght to Bellefonte and in default of bail were locked np in jail for the night. The man and woman came fo Bellefonte about s x weeks ago and took board and lodging at Pbilip Beezers as man and wife. Capt. Canlkins represented that he w as an organizer for the Sons of Veterans. He also is a photographer and since be has been in Bellefonte he has gone around the town taking pictures of various busi- ness places, ete. Wednesday morning two men arrived in Bellefonte and gave their names as John C. Caulking and Samuel C. Hoovler. They made inquiry as to whether Capt. Caulkins and wife, as he represented, were in Bellefonte and on being informed that they were the two men disclosed the fact that the woman was Mrs. Hoovler, the wife of the younger man; who had left her home, bushand and little girl, on Decem- ber 22nd, and gone away with Capt. Ca ulkins, who is also a married man and had left a wife and twoohildren. The part- ies all hail from a place named Hickory, in Forest county. When Capt. Caulkins decided to leave home he took his wife and children to her parent’s home in Oil City. t When Mr. Caulkins, Sr., and Mr. Hoov- ler ascertained that the runaway couple were in Bellefonte they at once had a war- rant sworn out for their arrest on the charge of adultery. The man and woman had gone to State College for the day and Cap tain Montgomery and his son, R. B. Mont- gomery, drove up in a carriage, found the two at the College hotel and arrested them. The two were very much taken aback when the officers made known their errand and when brought here and taken to the jail Mrs. Hoovler fainted and had to be carried to hercell. She was hysterical all of Wed- nesday night, but declared that she would die before she would go back to her lawful husband. Yesterday morning at 10 o’ciock the two were given a hearing before justice of the peace John M. Keichline. They did not deny the charge against them and both were held in the sum of $500 bail for trial at conrt. Neither of the two being able to furnish bond both were taken back to jail where they are at this writing. © Whether or not they will be able to get bail or whether they will be compelled to remain in jail until the April term of court remains to he eeen. When Mrs. Hoovler was brought down to the justice’s office she grew exceedingly hysterical and at the threshold of the door she fainted and had to be carried into the room. The proceedings were very brief and at their conclusion she was as- sisted hack up to the jail and into the fe- male department after which a physician was called in attendance to give the wowan something to quiet her nerves. She continually cried for her mother and { begged her lawful husband, Mr. Hoov- ler, to accompany ber to the jail. The case will be tried in this county, inasmuch as the crime with which they are charged was committed here. re Ql mmr NINETY YEARS OF LiFe.—Last Satut- day Mrs. Love Aon Taylor, of Milesburg, celebrated the ninetieth anniversary of her birth and in the evening quite a large loaded | at the Taylor home'and made the occasion one long to be remembered. Mis. Taylor is one of the most remarkably well pre- sérved women in the county and one of the very few who have passed the four-soore- aud-ten mark. Her maiden name was Lucas and she was born in Milesburg on the 28th day of January, 1815. All her life was spent in the Lome of her birth. She was united in marriage with Thomas B. Taylor, also a native of Bald Eagle valley, a farnaceman by trade and who worked mostly for the Cartins. Mrs. Tay- lor has four children living, namely: Mrs. Agnes Grant, of Berwick; Squire W. F. Taylor, of Tyrone, and Misses Lida and Florence at home. Since early girlhood the subject of this article has been a mem: ber of the Methodist church and is a thor- oughly conscientious, Christian woman. May she live to enjoy many more just such pleasant anniversaries. —— ee THE BUILDING COLLAPSED.-—Tueszday afternoon, about 4.15 o'clock, the main building of the Howard fire brick plant, just in course of erection at that place, collapsed slightly injuring two men and burying a third beneath the fallen timbers who, hewever, escaped without a scratch. The injured men were James Schenck, who had the small bone in his ankle broken,and Nathaniel Pletcher, one rib broken. Wm. Aostin was inside the building trimming up some lumber when the crash came and, though he was almost completely buried beneath the fallen timbers, he escaped without even so much as a scratch. The building was a frame one 62x72 feet in size and was so far completed that the roof was being puto’. The collapse came without any warning and, though vo one is able to assign a positive reason it is the general sopposition that the slate roof heing put on was too heavy for the timbers used in the framework. The hauild- ing will be rebuilt as quickly as possible. pe AA en ——Guy Dale, the nine-year-old-son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Dale, had the middle finger on his left hand amputated, last Sat- urday.

Gre ——Dauring the past week the smallpox quarantine has been lifted from both the poorhouse and the house of Mrs. Hugh Tay- Jor, on east Howard street, and the oo- cupants are naturally rejoiced over their liberation.

There the last patient bas practically recovered and ir will be only the question of a few days until the quarantine card will be taken down. mmm —— Wednesday morning Mr. Henry Linn purchased the entire interest of the Wilkinson estate in the China ball, on High street, and from now on will be the sole proprietor of that establishment. Mr. Lino has had several years practical ex- perience in the business, going there when Samuel H. Taylor resigned his position as manager, and has proven to the public that he is thoroughly conversant with the china business. There is no doubt that he will weet with the success he so weil deserves. Mrs. Wilkinson retired from a partisanship in the firm because recent good fortune enabled her to do so. —— There came very near being a seri- ous conflagration at the home of John M. Woomer, on Bishop street, Wednesday evening. After he had eaten his supper and was ready to start down town Mr. Woomer lit a cigar and then threw the lighted match into the cuspidor, whioh was sitting under the edge of the couch. The lighted match struck the fringe of the couch trim- mings and in an instant the couch was all ablaze. From the couch the flames spread to the window curtain and the carpet en- | tirely destroying the former and burning a big hole in the latter before the fire was extinguished by Mr. Woomer and others of the family. OI course the couch was entirely ruined, t REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES-—The Repub- lican primaries held last Saturday evening were exciting enough because of contests for the nomination of overseer of the poor, borough treasurer and auditor. For the latter Maurice A. Jackson easily won cut over two other contestants, Isaac Under- wood and G. Edward Haupt. For treas- arer Hard P. Harrie was the victor in a contest with W. B. Rankin, but when it came to the overseer of the poor the fight was an exceptionally olose one. The pres- ent incumbent, S. H. Diehl, carried the West ward and George L. Smith got the North ward while the two we re atiein the Sonth ward, each receiving 65 votes. This was a predicament unexpected by all and the conferees were entirely at sea when it came to making the nominations for the borough ticket. They did not know wheth- er to declare them hoth nominated or neith- er one or to pick out a new man entirely. They considered the question of telegraph- ing Senator Penrose for information in re- gard to the matter, inasmuch as it was principally the fight of Col. Chambers for Smith that got them into the trouble. A$ one stage of the game the question of send- ing for President Roosevelt was even con- sidered bat all propositions were finally discarded and a second eancus in the South ward decided on as the only way out of the difficulty. That was held on Wednesday evening and the result was 85 votes for Diehl to 63 for Smith and at the conference held shortly after the close of the polls the conferees had no trouble to declare who was nominated. Yesterday Mr. Smith filed nomination papers and will run as an independent for the office, thus making the fight for overseer a three cornered one. The full list of nominations made is as follows: : BOROUGH. - Fredsurer............cocivn dia Hard P. Harris Overseer of the Poor.. w...5amuel H. Diehl Auditori..ii.......000 0 Maurice A.

Amos Mullen A RANGE EXPLOSION.—With a noise like the booming of a Japanese cannon the range in the kitchen of the Johu Harrison house, on east Bishop street, occupied by Mr. John A. Sharp and family, exploded Sunday morning, completely demolishing tlre stove and badly wrecking she kitchen ; and it was simply a miraculous. circum- stance that Mr. Sharp, who was standing barely three feet from the stove, was not badly hurt, instead of escaping with merely a scratch or two. Mr. Sharp came down stairs at the usual time to make the fire. He tried the spigots at the sink where he found the water running all right and naturally supposed the water in the range connections was not frozen. He lighted the fire and turned to thesink to wash his bands when there was a terrific explosion, followed by a shower of fire and broken metal. The stove was entirely wrecked, part of it having been blown out through the kitohen window. The coffee pot was blown up against the ceiling knocking off a big patch of the plastering. The fire was thrown all over the floor aud up against the sides of the room and while burned blotches are numerous on the oileloth and wall paper, no conflagration occurred. Several small pieces of the broken metal struck Mr. Sharp and while his clothing was badly torn and burned he suffered only a few slight scratches. The accident was evidently caused by the water having frozen in the pipe connections and when the fire was started and steam began to .generate in the waterbaok, there being no natural source of expansion the explosion foliowed. The stove was so badly blown to pieces that it could not be repaired and the result was the compulsory purchase of a new one. 3 THE SUPREME COURT DECREE IN THE GREEN AND DILLEN CASE.—The decision of the Supreme couort in refusing a new trial for Ira Green and William Dillen was received by Prothonotary A. B. Kimport, last. Friday, and is noteworthy for its brevity, being one of the briefest decisions handed down by that body. The decree, per curiam, in full is as follows: The evidence in these cases does nob raise the slightest doubt about the guilt of the appellants, or the degree of it, the fairness of their trial, or the correctness of the rulings of the trial Judge on the law as applicable to the evidence. The specifications of error them immaterial and most of them frivo- lous. So far as the points. raised would justily notice they are sufficiently discuss- ed in the opinion of the Court below re- fusing a new trial. . The judgments are affirmed and the rec- ords remitted for purpose of execution. When Green and Dillen were informed of the action of the Supreme court they heard the news with the same stoical de- meanor and characteristic bravado that has so much marked their condact throughout all the proceedings since the commission of their orime on July 29th. Their only hope now is that the board of pardons, be- fore whom their oase will be carried, may commute the death sentence to imprison- ment for life, but even this hope grows fainter in view of the unanimity of senti- | ment in all she past proceedings. are all of | -—The real estate in Millheim belong-' ing to the late Mrs. Rebecca Musser was recently sold as private sale.

U. was that given in Petriken hall, last Friday evening, by the Estelle M. Clark Company, of Chicago. Each one of the four ladies composing the company is an artist in her live. Unusnally sweet and hird-like were the notes of Miss Mildred I. Langworthy, the first soprano. Her singing was simply ex- quisite. Of Mrs. Bessie Mercer, contralto, it may be said that voices such as she pos- sesses are as rare as they are beautifnl. Her solo work left nothing to be desired. Mrs. Estelle M. Clark, reader, was charm- ing in ber role, and displayed remarkable versatility; but perhaps her greatest sumc- cess was her charming rendition of “Hia- watha’s Wooing,”” from that immortal creation of Longfellow, “‘Hiawatha.'’ The quartet work of the company could bardly be surpassed. Especially pretty and grace- ful was the minuet given as an encore, showing the ladies to the bess possible ad- vantage. Judging from the generous amount of app lause bestowed upon the fair entertainers, and the complimentary re- marks heard at the close of the concert, the ladies of the W. C. T. U. have indeed suc- ceeded in gratifying the high musical taste of the people of the community in present- ing to them this company. Dr. E. J. GrAY’S WILL.—The will of the late Rev. Dr. Edward J.
