H. 8. TAYLOR, J. L. SPANGLER, Chairman. Chairman County Convention. Sccond Week of April Court. Court convened on Monday morning at 10 o’clock and after disposing of a number of rules, petitions and motions the firs$ case on the civil list called was that of W. | H. Runkle, use of Peter Smith vs G. L. Goodbart, administrator of ete., of Mary Slack, deceased, James Kimport and L. W. Kimport was taken up. This case is from Potter township and it appears that early in 1902 Samuel G. Slack sold his per- sonal property to his wife, Marg Slack, on a bill of sale, the purchase price thereof be- ing credited on a note held by Mrs. Slack against her husband. Subsequent thereto Peter Smith, the plaintiff, obtained a judg- ment before a justice of the peace, exeou- tion was issued and this personal property levied upon, notice given to the constable that the property was not the property of Mr. Slack but of Mrs. Slack, but the plain- $iff in the exeontion gave the constable an indemnifying bond. The property was then sold and bought in by Mra. Slack, who then put up a bond for the purchase price, which bond stipulated that Mrs. Slack could institute proceedings to try the title to the personal property as well as the constable. Subsequent to this the consta- ble assigned the bond to Mr. Smith and an action was then brought upon she bond. Verdict on Tuesday forenoon in favor of the plaintiff of $163.20. The next case taken up was that of Nel- lie Zeigler ve Barney Mendleman, of Phil- ipsburg, an action for slander and damages. The case grows out of some words passing between the plaintiff and the defendant in the borough of Philipsburg on the 29th of April, 1903, she plaintiff alleging thas she was called certain names, that certain lan- guage was used against her and she brings an action in slander to recover damages from the defendant. The case went to the jary on Wednesday morning and the ver- dict Wednesday afternoon in favor of the plaintiff was for $10.00. . As the WATCHMAN goes to press she case of B. F. Harris vs Huston township, an ac- tion for damages, is on trial. The following cases were continued by the court : Mary J. Gates et al, vs Minnie Rowan and Alfred Rowan. Action of ejectment.

Threatening barometer readings and rapid- ly rising temperature will be noted in western parts as early as the 4th, with greas and growing humidity and increasing storm conditions generally. It is almost certain that a phenomenally warm wave for the season will appear at the same time, and a series of very severe and violent atorms will pass eastwardly over the country from about Friday the 5th to Monday the Sth. Vicious lightning and thunder, with down- pours of rain and hail will attend these storms. Tornadoes are very probable in many localities. A sudden reaction to very cool will follow in the track of these storms, bringing frost to most parts of the country in central and northern sections. The second storm period is central on the 12th, 13th and 14th. Marked thunder storms will occur on and touching the 14th, followed by sudden change to very cool. The third storm period is central the 17th, covering the 16th to 20th inclusive. Look for an ominous fall of the barometer about the 17th, with corresponding increase of temperature, all followed by violent and wide-reaching storms of rain, hail and thunder. In every probability a daily cycle of heavy rains and thunder storms will set in at this time, repeating them- selves about the same hour of the day and night for several days in succession. Al- most to an absolute certainty there will be tornadic storms here and there over the tornadic belt, during this and other May storm periods. The series of storms at this third storm period will terminate in a wide and sweeping storm of rain, wind and thun- der, and be followed by change to much cooler. The fourth storm period is central on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th. It is entirely probable that the daily series of thunder and rain storms, started at the third storm period, may continue into this reactionary period. In sueh event, the general crisis or onlmination of storms will come on and touching the 24th and 25th. In any event, storm conditions will be increased on these dates. Behind the storms will follow rising barometer and change to cooler—much cooler in northern and northwestern States. The fifth storm period extends from the 27th to the 31st, heing central on the 29th. The storms of this period will develop as early as the 28th in western parts, and fall- ing barometer with more rain and thunder will advance eastward over the last three days of May. Rising barometer and obange to cooler will keep close on the heels of storms moving eastward. HART.—Mr. William Hars, a well- known and highly-esteemed citizen of Bellefonte, died at his home on east Bishop street at 12.30 o'clock Saturday morning, after a three week’s illness with acate softening of the brain.

ErTERS ELECTED COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT. — Owing to the fact that county superintendent C. L. Gramley withdrew his name as a candidate for re- election on Monday, the convention of school directors on Tuesday was devoid of that excitement that always surrounds an exciting contest, and yet there was just enough of the sensational connected with the gathering to make it interesting ; in fact, perbaps a little too interesting for some, There were just 173 directors present when Sup’s. Gramley called the convention to orderast 12 o’clock. Dr. W. W. Andrews, of Philipsburg, was elected chairman and after he bad ascended the rostram and thanked the directors for the honor con- ferred upon him, Mr. Gramley arose and begged the privilege of the floor for a few minutes, in which he stated to the con- vention that after having been elected four times he bad been induced to allow his name to be used as a candidate again this year and he had yielded and doue so ; hat that on, Monday he had withdrawn from the contest and was not a candidate before the convention. Speaking further Mr. ‘Gramley said : “For twelve years and seven months I have served as your county superintendent; four times you have elected me and for this I thank yon, as well as for the trust reposed in me. Ihave always tried to the best of my ability to do my duty as I understood it. I may have erred at times, as anyone is like- ly to do, but if so it was an error of judg- ment and not intentional. The incoming superintendent will find that he has to be firm—did I say firm? I have been charged with being dictatorial, but a man can’t listen to the personal appeals of all, if in his judgment it interferes with what is for the best interest of the schools ; the best for your boys and girls. I might not have made a speech here today but when I am charged with being dictatorial ; when IT am charged with having written anonymous letters—a thing I never did, as I am neither afraid nor ashamed to sign my name to Deceased was 41 years of age and prior | DAVID 0. ETTEES. anything I write ; and when I am even charged with having been drunk, then Iam here to defend myself, my name and my character. And I want to say right here that any gentleman who says he ever saw me under the influence of liquor is not a gen - tleman, as the accusation is false as false can be. Anyone who knows me knows that I am fanatical on the temperance question. I neither touch, taste nor handle the stuff, and I will here offer to pay $100 to any charity, charitable institution or hospital you may name if any man here or in the county can produce the proof satisfactory to any reason- able body of men that I was ever intoxicated; provided he will agree to pay $25 to the same if he fails to do so.” Mr. Gramley’s drastic talk was the more surprising because entirely unexpeoted and it is hardly necessary to say that there wasn’t anyone present who took up she cudgel he threw down. As the close of Mr. Gramley’s speech D. F. Fortney Esq., arose and introduced the following resolution : Resolved, By the school directors of Cen- tre county in convention assembled, that we approve of the course pursued by C. L. Gramley who, for more than twelve years has been the superintendent of the schools of the county and has therefore had the entire supervision of the schools and the policies pursued in their advancement. We endorse his course as being progressive, active, energetic, industrious, ever looking to the improvement and the growth of the schools under his supervision. We com- mend the manner in which he discharged all the duties of the office : and his efforts to elevate the grade, standing and efficiency of the teachers in the county is to be: com- mended as gratifying in the highest degree to the school directors of the county. The resolution was promptly seconded and in support of its adoption Mr. Fortoey made a brief speech in which he farther extolled the good work of Mr. Gramley, declaring that he had personal knowledge of the work of every superintendent in the county except the first one and, while it was no disparagement to any of them, it could truthfully be said that Mr. Gramley was the most progressive and aggressive of them all; and that she present high stand- ing of all the schools in the county was wainly due to the advanced methods in- augurated by him and pursued ander his - direction. Tbe resolution passed without a dissenting vote and Mr. Gram- ley arose and said ‘‘Thank you.”* : The convention was then fully organized by the election of S. M. Smith, of Centre Hall, and Dr. O. W. McEntire, of Howard, secretaries, and Mr. G. G. Fink, of Huston, reading clerk. The roll call showed 173 directors presents. When the chairman announced the convention open for the nomination of candidates for the county superintendency Hon. W. C. Heinle nomi- nated David O. Etters, of Bellefonte, and Dr. O. W. McEutire nominated Millord K. Pleteher, of Liberty township. Esters was elected on the first ballot, the vote standing as follows : Etters Pletcher......... Spe eammbpsesares Both the successful and unsuceesstal can- didates were called upon for brief speeches, alter which the convention adjourned. A MATRIMONY SOCIAL.—All persons of the Methodist or any other church in the town who were not at Mrs. 8. A. Bell's ‘Matrimony Social’? Tuesday evening, missed an evening of great sport. The house was crowded to its limit with noth- ing to mar the success of the evening save the non-appearance of the men who were advertised to describe their ideal woman— it muy have been that they had no ideal or again from a lack of news. However, be it as it may the sociable was a great success, both socially and finanoially,and the thirty- two dollars realized by the women went far towards compensating for the absence of some bashful young men. The Logan fire engine house being just across the street from Mrs. Bell's home, and because she is their veritable ‘‘good angel,”’ the boys added their very liberal patronage to the financial saccess of the event and Harry Tibbens contributed some exquisite flowers that were later sent up to Green and Dillen, with a liberal sapply of cake. ee ——While dragging logs in a lumbering camp, in the mountains west of Pas. Gerri- ty’s,last Friday afternoon, Reuben Foust, of Potters Mills, met with a painful accident.
