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against him be withdrawn through the in-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.

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.

Locke, Col. Amos Mullen and the company
officers.

~ 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.
Those who composed the inspecting party
——Horses at the Waldron: sale, last Sat-
urday, brought a good price.

the Secretary of the Commonwealth fora
charter for a company to be called ‘‘The
Central Pennsylvania Cigar and Tobacco
Manufacturing company,’’ whose privileges
it 8 ball be to manufacture and deal in cigars
and tobacco of all kinds. This will on-
douhtedly mean the establishment of a
plant that in time may grow to be an im-
portant industry of the town.
—— Se
George Furey is now driving a new
horse which he purchased at the horse sale,
at the Haag stables, last Saturday. 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.

——If one wants to be in the swim in so-
ciety these days they must he in the Thomas
street circle. ‘‘Somethin’ goin’ on every
night over there,”’ is the general verdict.
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. C, Bair, of east Bishop street.

—The weather is cold, tis true, and everyone
knows how little natural protection we have left
on top so that when we decide to doff the hat to
each and everyone who has so kindly remem-
bered about their paper bills during the week,
the gratitude we feel can be properly appreciated.
There are lots of things that make a paper go but
none of them help quite as much as the money,
therefore we thank Mr. C. T. Packer, of Brad-
dock ; Mr. D. R. Sweetwood, of Spring Mills ;
Mr. W. A. Saucerman, Altoona; Mrs. Martha
Sperring, of Mill Hall, who writes and says “send
it on because I cannot do without it ;>> Mr, Thos.
K. Henderson, Warriors-mark ; Mrs. Charles
Gilmour, Bellefonte, and Mr. Jas. A. Keller,
Centre Hall. There are not so many of them
this week as we could have wished, but those
that did come are none the less appreciated.

—— “The Parish Priest,” the attraction
which will be at Garman’s next Monday
night, February ‘13th, under the auspices
and for the benefit of the Logan Steam Fire
Engine company, was in Bellefonte two
years ago and was regarded one of the best
entertainments of that season. We are in-
formed by the management that the com-
pany to appear here Monday night will be
practically the same people who were here
two years ago, so that such being the case
all who attend can he assured of getting
their money’s worth. 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.
