The loas is a big one to Mr. Rine as the meat cost him about $30. THE CAPT. CAULKINS—MRs. HOOVLER EscAPADE.—Sunday morning Mrs. May- zie Hoovler, the woman in the sensational escapade chronicled in last week's WATCH- MAN, was removed from the county jail to the Bellefonte hospital because it was al- leged by ber jail attendants that she show- ed evidence of an unbalanced mind, owing to the shock to her nervous system caused by ber arrest and incarceration. At the hospital the attending physician, while ad- mitting that the woman was in a very nervous state, said her condition was not at all alarming, bardly to be regarded as serious. Her husband, Samuel Hoovler and his father departed from Bellefonte for their homes, last Friday. Before going the husband offered to get his wife out of jail and take her back if she would only go and live contentedly with him in the fu- ture, but she emphatically declined the offer and declared she would only accept her freedom on condition that Capt. Canlk- ins would also be released. The Hoov- lers refused to even consider such a proposi- tion and as Mrs. Hoovler would accept no com promise the men were compelled to go home alone. It is the general belief, how- ever, that when they return, as they mean to do in the near future, some arrangement will be made to secure Mrs. Hoovler’s re- lease. So far as Capt. Caulkins is concern- ed, unless ne can secure bail, or the case against him be withdrawn through the in- tercession of Mrs. Hoovler, he will be com- pelled to remain in jail and stand trial at the April term of court. AMONG THE SICK.—Mrs. Gotlieb Haag is lying very near the point of death at her home on Penn street, a victim of paralysis. Mrs. Haag was first stricken several weeks ago and it was hoped the affliction would end there, for the time being at least, but since then she bas suffered a second and third stroke and her condition now is ex- tremely critical. Mrs. Joseph W. Rightnour is lying very low at ber home on east Howard street, a sufferer with that dread disease, consump- tion. Up until less than a year ago Mrs. Rightnour was a healthy woman but a heavy cold terminated in tuberculosis with the result that ber condition now is re- garded as heyond medical skill. Mr. Israel Kauffman, of east Bishop street, went to Philadelphia the latter part of last week to enter the University hospit- al for an operation and treatment for a cancerous growth on one of his fingers, caused by a bruise. Ope finger has been amputated. Col. Amos Mullen, who suffered a slight stroke of paralysis several weeks ago, has so far recovered as to be ont and around again, though he has not yet resumed his position on the police force. rr Gp CLINTON COUNTY'S ITALIAN SUSPECT DI1scHARGED.—Frank Uaro, the Italian arrested, January 16tb, on suspicion of being the murderer of James Cesto, was given a hearing before alderman E. K. Parsons, last week. Uaro was defended by W. C. Krzss, Esq., while the common- wealth was represented hy District Attor- ney Henry Hipple and C. 8. McCormick, Esq. After hearing the testimony of six- teen witnesses, during which it was proven that Uaro was at home in bed at the time the crime is supposed to have been commit- ted, the alderman discharged the accused on the ground that no eyidence had been produced tending to show that he had com- mitted the crime. Uaro, who had heen in jail since his arrest, returned to Mill Hall after the hearing and it is said will go to work again on the railroad. Thus three murders in Clinton county within a year are so far unavenged. a AS TO GREEN AND DILLEN.—Ira Green and William Dillen, the two men in the Centre county jail under sentence of death for the murder of Jerry Condo, bave been moved by Sheriff Taylor to more com- fortable quarters than those they uccupied in the steel cells. The two cells in the female department of the jail, which is en- tirely separate from that of the men, have been thoroughly overbauled and fixed up, farnished with a good bed and a chair in each and made as comfortable as possible to make such a place, and in these the men have been placed with the watchman io the narrow corridor between the two cells. These cells will be their quarters until their case is finally disposed of in either an action of the board of pardons or in the carrying out of the sentence imposed. — tem CoMPANY B INSPECTION—A large crowd attended the annual inspection of company B, in the armory, Wednesday night. The Coleville band was present and fur: nished music for the occasion,and the soldier boys showed up in good form and will doubtless be given their usual high rating. were Major Samuel W. Jeffries, inspector of the Second brigade; Major William J. Nicholson and orderly, of the Seventh U. 8. cavalry, and Colonel Rufus Elder, of the Fifth regiment.

Amos Mullen and the company officers. *0e ~ NArRrowLY ESCAPED CHOKING TO DEATH. —Mrs. Frank Davis, of east Logan gtreet, had a narrow escape from choking to death Wednesday evening. While at supper a particle of food became lodged in her windpipe causing strangulation and the family at once tried heroic remedies, but without avail, until a physician arrived. Had he heen a few moments later it is probable the woman would have choked to death. As it was she was just | about expiring when relief was effected.

The animal is coal black with white feet aud a white stripe down the forehead, and while nob in quite the same class with Dan Patch is just a speedy enough driver to make all George’s associates envious as they see him glide by. It is hardly a surprise that George got the bess driver in the bunch for, though young in years, he has had considerable experience in buying and sell- ing horses. eee ——Mr. Frank E. Naginey, who last week purchased the building on Allegheny street in which his furniture store is now located, contemplates making extensive improvements on the same, though not just immediately. His plans are to build the building three stories high its entire length and for the installation of a combined pas- senger and freight elevator to be located about the middle of the building, or near where his present office is now. He expects to occupy the entire building himself as his present quarters are entirely too much crowded. eee ——Inasmuch as Mr. Harry Yeager’s time is so much taken up in the wanage- ment of the affairs of the Yeager swing factory, which is now in fall operation in this place, the branch shoe store of Yeager & Davis, in Philipsburg, was recently sold to Louis B. Gernon, who will con- tinue the store. Mr. Elmer Davis will move his family from Philipsburg to Bellefonte and will probably have charge of the store here while Mr. Yeager looks after the swing business, which gives promise of enormous growth as they have one order from a Pittsburg firm for 5,000 swings, while another very much larger order has been received from John Wanamaker, of Phila- delpbhia. DOINGS OF THE BOROUGH DADS.—The regular meeting of the borough counasil was held Monday evening with president W. R. Jenkins and members Fenlon, Wise, Derstine, Keichline, Seibert, Kirk and Kel- ler present. The important feature of the evening’s proceedings was a thorough discussion and the final passage of the ordinance granting a franchise to the Bellefonte Traction com- pany for a right-of-way through the streets of the town. The Traction company was represented by J. C. Meyer, Esq., Robt. F. Hunter and John Olewine. In a pre- liminary speech to council Mr. Meyer pre- sented several important objections to the ordinance as prepared by the borough solie- itors, among which was the requirement for paving the streets through which the trol- ley line would pass aud the clause fixing a license fee. Mr. Meyer, who very earnestly declared to council that the Bellefonte Traction company meant to build the road and were not endeavoring to porcure a fran- chise for specnlation or any other than the purpose for which it was asked; said that they were willing to pave between the rails and a certain distance, (2} feet), on each side of the track, as required by the ordinance, with vitrified brick, except on High street from Spring creek to the Dia- mond; on east Bishop street, on zouth Spring from Bishop street to the bor- ough line; on Allegheny street from Linn to Cartin, and one or two other places where the grade is too steep. Council agreed to an amendment as to all the above except High street which they insisted should be paved. As to the clause fixing the license fee, the company objected to a license of $100 a year after the line bad been in operation five years, provided that not more than five cars be operated, and an additional $25 a year for each addition- al car. Both sides were determined but council finally yielded a point by making the time when the tax should become as- sessable at ten years after the opening of the road instead of five. With these and a few other minor amendments the ordi- nance was discussed, section by ‘section, after which, on motion of Mr. Wise, it was duly passed by council. The Traction com- pany have thirty days in which to file an ac- ceptance or rejection of the ordinance. Among the miscellaneons business of the evening was action on the building of the new bridge on High street, over the race near the Pennsylvania railroad, a much needed improvement. The bridge is to be of iron, brick paved. The borough will build the stone abutments and the county will furnish the superstructure. A twelves inch water main was ordered laid from the reservoir down Allegheny street to the cor- ner at the Reynolds bank building. The sidewalk in front of the new Y. M. C. A. building was reported in a bad, even dan- gerous condition and the Street committee was ordered to have the matter of having it repaired attended to. Borough solicitor Fortney turned in $342.26 taxes that had been placed in his bands for collection, and Burgess Walker turned in fines amounting to $4.25. On recommendation of the Fire and Police committee the annual appropri- ation of $250 each to the Logan and Un- dine fire companies was granted. The following bills were approved and ordered paid: Street pay roll....................ih we 8 3101 Bellefonte Gas Co we 48.10 Police pay roll...... 65 00 Bellefonte Electric Co. 353 8&5 ‘“ “ ." =. 14 40 ‘c “ “ 4 80 Penna Telephone Co..... 105 American Express Co... 40 eRe Bi COiviiiiiinniisncsiansicesnns 749 Gardner Coal & Grain Co., sand. 12 74 M.

In fact the ‘‘doin’s’’ are so plentiful that they have come to be regarded as ordinary occurrences. Among the gatherings of the week were an entertainment, last Friday evening, by Mrs. M. A. Kirk, and a euchre party Monday night, by Mrs. Ross Parker, in honor of Mies Nell Burns, of Howard, and Miss Grace Smith, of Centre Hall. Last Saturday evening Miss Nettie Bair enter- tained a number of her young lady friends at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.

The chart opens to- day at Parrish’s, and if you have not already bought a ticket you should do so at once; and in order to give the fire company the benefit, buy your tickets from some member of the company, as tickets sold at Parrish’s or at the box office do not count on the benefit. *oe -— Franklin B.
