WILL PURGE VOTING LISTS
Political Parties In Philadelphia to
Look Up Bogus Names.
Philadelphia, Aug. 22.—The regular
Republican organization took steps
looking to the purging of assessors’
lists of alleged bogus names. Mayor
Weaver in his crusade for good muai-
cipal government recently ordered a
thorough canvass of the city to deter-
mine accurately the number of voters
in each precinct. The canvass was con-
ducted by the police and other eity em-
ployes, under the direction of the de-
partment of public safety, and at its
conclusion Director Potter, of the Ge-
partment, announced that 60,000 ficti-
tious names had been discovered om the
assessors’ lists. This charge has been
denied by the organization leaders, who
admit that fraud might have been prac-
ticed in a few precincts, but declare
there never has been any wholesale
padidng of the lists.
In order to refute if possible the
charges the Republican city committee
at'a meeting adopted resolutions pro-
viding for a careful house to house
canvass. The various ward committees
met and the members were informed
of the city committee's action. They
were instructed to canvass their wards
and precincts thoroughly and to asalst
the representatives of the City Party,
a reform organization, in their can- |
vass of voters.
Chairman Donnelly, of the: Demo-
cratie city committee, issued a call for
a meeting of the committee to. be held
Friday, when a similar canvass will be
ordered.

+-Subeeribe forthe “WATCHMAN:
Committee Wants Correct Names of Cen-
tre County Soldiers.
Bates, in his History of the Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers, states that the 161st
Regiment of the line (16th Cavalry) com-
manded by Col. J. Irvin Gregg, of Cen-
tre county, was recruited in part in Cen-
tre county. No soldiers from that regi-
ment have so far been found. Are there
any surviving members of it in this
county or are there any friends of de-
ceased member, who can give the names
of men from Centre county who enlist-
ed in that regiment? So far the com-
pilers of the names for the monument
have not been able to find any.
It is important that the names of any
men from this county who were in that
d | regiment should be furnished immediate-
ly either to Gen. Curtin or ’Squire Mus-
ser.

WiLLiAMs FAMILY REUNION. — Had
the weather man made things to order he.
could not have arranged things for a more
pleasant day for the big family reunion, in
Jobn Q. Miles’ grove, in Huston township,
than that of last Saturday. The sun shone
brightly from early morn ’¢il night and yet
it waesnot $00 hot to prevent all presen
from having a most enjoyable day. And the
gathering this year was quite a large one,
the crowd being estimated at over two
thousand people. They came on every train
and by vehicles from all that country round
about. The Forest City band, of Scotia,
delightful musio.
The gathering was called to order at 11
o'clock by.” W. 8. Williams, president of
the association, who in a brief speech told:
of these-annual reunions and expressed
gratification at seeing so many present on
this, their sixth annual gathering. After
prayer by Rev. A. C. Lathrop and the
singing of ‘‘Blest be the Tie that Binds’
by achorue led by Miss Lola Williams,
the address of welcome was delivered by
Gordon Williams and then adjournment
was made for dinner. This, of course, was
one of the important functions of the day
‘but so elaborate were the preparations
and so full the baskets that no one bad |
exouse for going hungry.
At the Afternoon’s meeting addresses
were made by ex-Judge John G. Love, J.
I. L. Hare, of Flemington; Clement Dale
Esq., and Rev. A. C. Lathrop, while ap-
Misses Mable Gates, Lydia Miles and
Nannie Hoover. : ;
Among the amusements of the day were
two games of base ball, the first between
the Buffalo Ran and Port Matilda nines,
the former winning by the score of 14 to 3.
The second game was between a pick-up
team and Scotia nine,the latter winning by
the score of 9 to 8. All in all the day was
an exceptionally pleasant ope for all
present.

Nexr WEEK'S HoMICIDE TRIAL. —The
regular term of quarter sessions court will
be held next week and while there is quite
a large lias of oaces on the docket for trial
there is pechaps only one of those to be
tried to which any special interest attaches
and that is the homicide case against Chas.
and Howard Stewart and Winfield Gregg,
charged with being implicated in the death
of Michael MoHugh, at Osceola, on the
night of April 11th.
The particulars of the case are not very
complicated. The dead body of McHugh
was found in the Moshannon creek on the
morning of April 12th, and at the time it
was supposed he had fallen’ in and was
drowned. Later evidence came to light
the most of the night previous in a cabin,
drinking, and that they were heard to
quarrel. What followed the quarrel has
not yet been brought to light bus the
prosecution claims to have sufficient evi-
dence to bring about a conviction, if not
of murder, at least in one of the lesser de-
grees. Already a large number of wit-
nesses have been subpcenaed in she interest
court issned a compulsory process to en-
able the defense to summon whatever wit-
nesses they deem it necessary to have pres-
ent in the interest of the defendants.
The prosecutor in the case is the dead
man’s son, Barney MoHugb. For. the
Commonwealth District Attorney W. G.
| Runkle will be assisted by James Gleason
Eeq., of Clearfield, Ex-Judge John G.
Love is attorney for the prisoners and will
conduct the defense single-handed and
alone.
It is now pretty certain that the oase of
the Platt-Barber company against John
G. Platt, for alleged embezzlement and
misappropriation of funds, will also be
tried next week. The attorneys on both
sides are working hard to bring the case to
trial, and it will doubtless prove as inter-
esting as the homicide case.

JoEN M. RANKIN.—Joho M. Rankin,
of Johnstown, formerly from Centre counn-
ty, died in the Cambria hospital on August
17¢b, from the effects of a fall from a lad-
der in the boiler house of ‘the Cambria
Steel company, where he was employed.
‘The distance of the fall was only four feet
but resulted in fatal injuries to his spine
from which he died in less than a day. He
was born August 1st, 1858, and was 47
years and 16 days old. The deceased was
the only son of James and Amanda Ran-
kin and was born near Churchville, Clarion
county. His parents died in early life and
he was taken in charge by the family of
Wm. Robinson, of Nittany valley, when
bus fifteen months old. He was brought
up and lived with this family until man-
hood. In 1881 he was united in marriage
with Miss Annie B. Walker. To this union
three children were born, one of whom, a
little daughter, survives him. He is also
survived by his wife, and an aunt, Mrs. A.
F. Markle, of State College. The sur-
vivors of the Robinson family who were
present were Mrs. Simon P. Neyhart, of
Milesburg, and Mrs. Emma Lebkecher, of
Bellefonte. He wens from Mileshurg to
Johnstown nineteen years ago where he
bad since resided, and where, by his cor-
rect life and general disposition he won
for himself the friendship and esteem of
all who knew him.
The remains were brought to Milesburg
on Friday evening and taken to the home
of his wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jona-
than Walker. Funeral services were held
on Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, conduct-
ed by pastors Lathrop and Zeigler. Inter-
ment was made in the Messiah cemetery.
The services were largely attended, and
the floral tribntes were especially beansi-
ful. In these were represented the F.
Street M. E. Church, of Johnstown, of which
the deceased was an active member; several
orders to which he belonged, and his fel-
low employees of the Cambria works.

WALLACE'S BRICK PLANT.—On Satur-
day the writer accompanied Robt. F. Hun-
ter in a little trip around in his foureylin-
der Franklin and one of the places visited
was the brick-making plant of Mr. Frank
Wallace, at Milesbarg. And it must be
confessed that we were exceedingly,though
agreeably, surprised at what we saw as
well as the magnitude of the plant. Through
the kindness of Mr. Wallace we were shown
through the place from start to finish and
it must be admitted that he has one of the
most complete brick-making plants in the
country today; and a greatmany of the most
modern details entering into its construc-
tion were original ideas evolved by either
Mr. Wallace or his sons. :
The brick making machine is one of
the standard machines in general use.
From the large sheds in which it is stored
the olay is carried in automatically fed
chain buckets up an insline to a height of
about twelve fees where it is dumped into
the mill to be ground. From the mill it
drops into the mixing trough where it is
thoroughly mixed and forced out at the
further end through a conical opening the
exact size of a brick’s length and breadth,
which has the effect of compressing it very
solidly. As the clay comes out it is fed
onto the cutting machine and when that is
filled one throw of a huge lever back and
forth and ten nicely moulded and cut bricks
are ready to take away while the cutting
machine is being rapidly filled again. This
machine has a capacity of 45,000 bricks a
day though up to this time it has only
been run at a capacity of 20,000. :
From the outting machine the green
brick are placed on iron cars standing on a
two foot railroad right by. These cars
have a capacity of from 500 to 600 brick®
each. As soon as filled they are transfer-
red from one railroad track onto another
and run right into the drying oven. This
is a huge brick ¢flair 24x85 feet in size
with a capacity of 50,000 brick, go modern-
ized and arranged by the Wallaces ideas
alone thas in it the brick can be dried
and ready for the kilns in twenty-four
hours. When dried the brick on the cars
are pushed out at the other end of the dry
ing oven onto transfer tracks by means of
whioh they are ran. right into the baking
kilns to the very spot of unloading, so that
from the time the brick are piled on the cars
at the ontting machine they are not touched
by the band until they are unloaded and
stacked up in the kilns. The kilns are of
the same modern design used at all fire
brick plants, with some improvements
made by Mr. Wallace.
As the present time they have four bak-
ing kilne, of 50,000 capacity each in opera-
tion, ‘and have now begun the erection of |
a battery of four more, so that when these
are completed the capacity: of the plant
will be just double its present output.
The brick when put in the kilos area
grayish white in polor and when baked,
the natural red brick color. If takes about
eight days to properly bake a kiln of fifty
thousand brick.
Mr. Wallace purchased the ground and
established his plant at the present site in
1894 and although he has run it contin-
uously ever since, making quite a number
million of brick he has not been able to sup-
ply the demand and his present stock on
hand 18 very low. His clay beds are among
the beat in this part of the State and con-
tain am almost inexhaustible enpply. A$
present Mr. Wallace employs from twenty
to twenty-five hands and they are never
troubled with any strikes or shut-downs.
