A Tombstowe for “Warren
In all of the history of Bellefonte there
wae pever such a character as Warten
Burnside. Afflicted as he was be was
possessed of a big heart and unmeasurable
kindness. Since his death vo stone of any
kind marks his last resting place and a
movement has been started to raise a fund
for the purpose of erecting a suitable tomb-
stone over his grave. Will you contribute
a small amount for this purpose? The

Methodist Episcopal Comnference.
The Thirty Eighth Annual Session Now being Held in
Tyrone.
The thirty eighth annual session of the
Central Pennsylvania conference of the M,
E. church is now being held in Tyrone and
is very largely attended. Bishop Joseph
B. Berry, of Buffalo, is presiding. The
Central Penvsylvania is one of the largest
and most important conferences in the
State. It includes almost 70,000 members
cared for by 260 pastors. They worship in
627 church buildings erected at a cost of
$3,350,000, with parsonage property valued
at $600,000. Tnere are 640 Sunday schools
with an aggregate membership of 72,000
scholars led by an army of 10,000 teachers.
Last year these churches paid for pastoral
sapport $260,000, and laid an offering of
$61,500 on the altars of the churches for
missions, with munificent gifts to other
general benevolences aggregating almost a
like amount.
Some idea of the territory covered by the
conference may be gleaned from the fact
tbat pastors come from such distant points
as Berwick, Hazleton, Ashland, Harris-
barg, York, Chambersburg, Bedford, Cur-
wensville, Clearfield, Renovo and Em-
porium. These points outline in a general
way the territory embodied.
Monday aud Tuesday were occupied with
examinations of the young men, each one
of whom is required to complete a four
year's course of study in certain hooks de-
fined by the law of the church. These ex-
aminations are now over and the young
men as well as their instructors and ex-
aminers are taking part in the business of
the conference.
The first service was held Taesday even-
ing and was in the interest of the Women's
Home Missionary society, which this year
celebrated its silver anniversary. Alter an
inspiring anthem by the choir, Rev. BC.
Conner, of Altoona, conducted devotional
services, announcing the hymn beginning
““Tell it out among the nations,’’ and lead-
ing in prayer. Miss Bertha Curry, of
Wariiorsmark, sang ‘‘Open the Gates of
the Temple” with fine effect.
The music under the leadership of F. M.
Waring, with Mra. 8. B. Beyer as organist,
and sapported by a choir of picked voices,
promises to be a specially attractive fea-
tare of the anniversary cocasion. “Silver
Bells,” written ly for this ccoasiou,
was sung by the choir to the tune, ‘‘Faitb
of Oar Fathers.”
Murs. George Edward Reed, of Carlisle,
made a few welcoming remarks, introduc:
ing Mrs. May Leonard, Woodruff, secretary
of the bureau for Porto Rico missions, who
was the lecturer of the evening. The lec
ture was illustrated by many beautiful
stereopticon pictures and was listened to
throughout with great interest. Singing
followed and the andience was dismissed.

“A DeservED COMPLIMENT. —The Mount
Union Republican of ‘last week comments
on Rev. Koehler’s having acted as moder-
ator of the congregational meeting in the
Bellefonte Presbyterian church when Rev.
J. A. Platts, of Allegheny, was elected pas-
tor and pays the following compliment to
Rev. Wm. Laurie:
This is the church which Dr. Laurie
served twenty-nine years. The congrega-
tion is one of the most important in the
Presbytery. * * * If Rev. Platts
equals Dr. Laurie as a preacher of a pare
gospel he will merit the love of his people.
In Janvary Dr. Laurie was in Mount
Union and held services for a week. At
that time the Republican said of him :
Dr. Laurie has just closed a series of serv-
joes in the Presbyterian church here. His
discourses were marvels of simplicity and
directness. Every one felt that it was for
him or her. Preacher and hearer were in
bappy relation. * * * Dr. Laurie bas
spent a long and vigorous lile preaching
the gospel and ministering to suffering
men and women. Always a great student,
he has reached a scholarship so great that
all the frills and show of scholarship have
disappeared and the simplest English
words carry his intens: meaning far better
than the shallow show made by the three
syllabled words used by the preacher with
*‘a little learning."

speak of the very bad roads and streets
that now abound throughout the county

of ten days to two weeks ago.

The weather has interfered greatly with
G. C. King in getting his saw mill in opera-
tion. The snow drifts prevented him from

the new mill just erected above the railroad
station,
Sleighing and sledding all last week, and
this is spring—more like the middle of win.
ter—with snow 26 inches deep on the level
and drifts from eight to ten feet, and the
thermometer ranging from zero to freezing.
Spring, yes, very like spring. w¢
Penn Hall it seems does not take very
kindly to the rural delivery system. Quite
a number have engaged the services of the
former mail carrier between here and Penn
Hall and he vow carries their mail matter to
and from the Spring Mills office twice a day.
Moving and changing week, quite a num.
ber took advantage of the sledding, and of
course took up their beds and sledded. Sev-
eral families fiom the country moved last
week. They went down the old pike in
sleds in good winter style. The beautiful
snow, however, is rapidly disappearing to be
followed with beautiful mud, and plenty of
it too.
Within the next week the winter session
of all our schools will be closed, possibly one
or two may continue a few days longer. Of
course the little students are not very sorry.
Prof. W. P. Hosterman will commence a
spring session for advanced scholars on the
16th prox. Also in the higher branches for
those desirous of becoming teachers and pro-
fessionals. Professor Hosterman places these
classes on a very high plane of learning.
The studies, instructionsand advantages are
almost equal to any college.

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY
Pittsburg, Pa., March 27.—Five ar-
rests have been made as a result of
the failure of the Enterprise National
Bank of Allegheny, which suddenly
closed its doors Jast October, following
the sensational suicide of its cashier,
T. Lee Clark. The arrests were made
by Deputy United States marshals,
who took into custody Forest B. Nich-
ols, private secretary to William H.
Andrews; Charles Menzemer, George
R. Ralston and Edward P. McMillan,
employes of the Enterprise Bank, and
George E. Cook, an alleged partner of
Cashier Clark in scveral real estate
deals.
A warrant was also issued for
Thomas Harvey, former paying teller
of the bank, but he has not yet been
placed under arrest, as he could not
be found.
The charge against Menzemer is
that as clerk of the bank he certified
checks drawn upon the bank by per
sons who had not sufficient funds on
deposit with the bank to meet the
checks drawn and so certified, this
constituting a false certification.
Nichols is charged with conspiring
with an officer of the bank, who is not
named, to abstract and wilfully apply
unlawfully, monies, funds and credits
of the bank. Ralston and McMillan,
who were clerks in the bank, are
charged with making false entries in
the books to defraud the bank, while
Cook is charged with conspiring to de
fraud the bank by getting false
credits.
In all there are 68 counts against the
six men. Twenty-two are against Nich
ols, 17 against Ralston, six against
Menzemer, 11 against McMillan, 11
against Cook, and one against Harvey.
All the charges are for acts alleged
to have been done between June, 1903,
and the date of the closing of the
bank. The dates of the hearings will
be set when Bank Examiner Moxey,
who is in Philadelphia, returns to this
city, probably on Tuesday next. The
cases will probably be tried at the May
term of the United States district
court.
The charges were formulated some
time ago, and for weeks there have
been rumors that four arrests would
be made. The warrants were not is
sned, however, because the officials
desired to secure evidence that was
being taken in certain civil proceed
ings now under way. When the men
ware placed under arrest they were
arraigned before the United States
commissioner and furnished bonds in
$5000 each.
The arrests are a climax in on? of
the most sensational financial col
lapses that has occurred in Western
Penneylvania, and are the result of the
investigation made by Bank Examiner
Edward P. Moxey, who furnished the
information to United States Commis
sioner William T. Lindsey. The infor
mation was based on the alleged con:
spiracy of Nichols to use funds of the
Enterprise bank in the interest of the
Santa Fe Central Railroad company
and the Pennsylvania Construction
company.
JOHNSON AND SMALL HANGED
Negroes Pay the Penalty For Murder
Of Miss Allinson.
Mount Holly, N. J., March 24.—Ru
fus Johnson and George Small, both
negroes, were hanged in the jail yard
here for the murder of Miss Florence
Allinson, on the outskirts of Moores
town, on January 18. Both fully re
alized their awful doom, but showed
no signs of collapsing.
Small's wife bade him good-bye Fri
day evening, but that ordeal produced
no effect on him. No relatives visited
Johnson since his arrest, and the only
consclation he received was his spirit:
ual advisers. He was the most cheer
ful of the two.
About 75 persons witnessed the dou.
ble execution. Their bodies were turn:
ed over to Undertaker A. B. Grobler,
who will inter them in the Potter's
Field at New Lishon.
