Sears Lovell. Deteils of the elope- ment were given in last week's VW ATCH- MAN, at which time this paper exclusively stated that the pair bad passed through Mill Hall and were in the Susquehanna vailey somewhere. Saturday last the pair were seen in the vicinity of Hepburoville, in Lycoming county, and the father of the girl notified. Accompanied by another member of the tribe and policeman William Beezer the father went to Hepburnville the same af- ternoon, only to learn that the elopers bad not been apprehended but had heen permit. ted to go their way unmolested. Beezer returned home but Lovell remained in that neighborhood. On Sanday the pair were traced and captured by David Harer and George Slaugenwhite, who had seen the offer of $100 reward for their capture. They were caught in the narrows near Lar- ryville, after the two men had followed their tracks in the dusty road for a distance of ten miles. They were taken to Harer’s home in Larryville where they were kept prisoners until Mondvy morning when chief of police Green, of Jersey Shore, was notified who, accompanied by the girl's father, went after the pair. The latter had worked himself into quite a passion when they reached the Harer home, and drawing a big knife, made for young Lovell in a way that sent the head- strong wooer on his knees in the road to beg forgiveness. Policeman Green inter- fered and told the elder Lovell to put ap his knife ; that if there was any killing to be done he would do it. The girl, howev- er, was made out of braver stuff than her married lover, as she declared to her fath- er that “‘there was no use of making a fuss; that she was going to have him and would lose the last drop of blood in her body to stay with him.” Bat the young man’s fear, the girl's bravery nor the elder Lov- ell’s ire could not stay the machinery of the law once it bad been set in motion and the result was that on Tuesday morning the pair were brought back to Bellefonte, the man taken to jail and the girl turned over to the custody of her parents and, it is alleged, was well chastised for her mad escapade. Thursday morning Lewis Lovell was given a hearing before justice of the peace John M. Keichline. The father of the girl testified to the two going away together and being away for a week before being caught and brought back ; Mrs. Lewis Lov- ell, the wife of the eloper, testified that they had been married in Gettysburg over two years ago and in proof thereof produe- ed the marriage certificate. The prisoner himself was then given an opportunity to tell his story. He admitted he was mar- ried but claimed that he had not the life of a dog living with his wife ; that he loved and bad the greatest respect for his coungin and that be went away with her so that both would be happier. He denied that be had any intention of marrying her, say- ig that they were making for some big city in New York State where he was going to get work and bave ber to keep house for nim. When asked how they got away without being caught he said they travel- ed Bald Eagle mountain as far as Lock Ha- ven and kept to the woods as much as pos- sible. Alter hearing the evidence Justice Keich- line remanded him to jail tor trial, without bail. When the officers started to take Lovell to jail there was a demonstration unlooked for. His three sisters clung to his neck, crying and kissing him, and this was too much for his wife, who also kissed him good bye and herself began to cry. When they started up the hill the women followed and appealed to the men to rescue Lovell from the officers of the law, bat they made no move todo so. Through it all Canachan Lovell was possibly the most composed as far as noticeable and was tak- en back to camp by her father. The elopement of the cousins is the se- quel to an old love tale of four year's standing, begun when the girl was but fil teen years of age. Two years or more ago the gypey tribe separated, I. Sears Lovell and party traveling west and the party of which Lewis Lovell was a member going east. Separated from his cousin Lewis Lovell met and married the woman who is now his wile. The tribe was united in last May and since have been traveling together north through Pennsylvania until they reached thisjplace. In the meantime the old love flame was re- kindled and the elopement of two weeks ago followed as the sequence. An effort has already been made to settle the affair but whether they will be able to do so or pot, is not known. mma ss A —— Couxcin MEETING. —It was a brief ses- sion of council held on Monday evening.

The real genu- ine, full-scented polecat, and that they were of the fastidious kind was proven by the faot that they made Lion street their stamping ground.

They were all finally frightened away with- out doing any damage. ———— A me ———— —— Are you reserving Saturday, Sep- tember 1st, to attend the Williams family annual reanion in the John Q.Miles grove, in Huston township?

HOSTERMAN'S SUCCESSOR ELECTED.— —Among those who went to Atlantic City | Barley, HARDEST RAIN StoRM IX YEARS. — The hardest thunder and rain storm that has been witnessed bere in years passed over Bellefonte Monday afternoon It came up quite suddenly and began at just 4 20 o'clock and from that time until five o'clock the rain descended in torrents. In fact, the downpour was so terrific that many were disposed to believe it a clond- burst. The rain was eccompanied with the severest thunder and ightoiog heard and seen here this season, though so far as can be learned the latter did uo damage aside from burning out telephones, eto. The storm was purely local in character, extending from the vicinity of Pleasant Gap to Bald Eagle valley. In Bellefonte the effects of it were perbaps more noticeas ble than anywhere “Ise. Every street in the town resembled a small river, the con- sequence of which was that some of them were badly washed while portions of the gutters on High street were washed ont. Bishop street was badly washed, at one place the foundation being washed away from under a heavy flagstone pavement. The water from the street ran into the Brant house bar room to a depth of eigh- teen inches. The Daily News press room had a foot or more of water in it, while scores of cellars of piri ate houses were flooded. Spring creek raised two feet and fences and lumber were washed away. Even the big epring was cloudy, but this was from surface water washing into it and not through the regalar source of supply. Bat the fact caused considerable comment as most everyhody expressed themselves as to its being the first time they bad ever seen the water in the spring anyways clouded. The Bellefonte Central railroad was con- siderably damaged from Waddle down to Colevilie. The roadbed was washed out, ties washed away, one small bridge gone and stones weighing a quarter of a ton and all kinds of debris piled on the track. The train from State College due here at 6.30 p. m. did not get through at all, but by transferring and hauliog them part of the way on Saperintendent Thomas’ motor car the passengers were landed here a little after 10 o'clock that night. It rained bard again on Tuesday but the downpour was not nearly so great as that of Monday after- noon. tees fA smessteet— A THRILLI¥G RESCUE.—A brave and thrilling rescue of a small boy from drown- ing was witnessed in this place Monday evening. It was just alter the big rain storm that a number of small boys, among them Gilbert Sheckler, the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Sheckler, were playing on the foot bridge that crosses back of the big spring to the Phoenix planing mill. In some way the Sheckler boy lost his balance ard fell into the water, which at that place is from three to four feet deep. Not a man was in sight but the boy’s play- mates soreamed for help and shouted that Gilbert had fallen into the creek. Young Mac. Waite, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Waite, was crossing the trestle of of the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad when he heard the boys’ cri-- and bis first thought was that it was his own little brother Gilbert. Quick as a flash he start- ed on a run over the trestle, pest the Phoe- pix planing will and across the green to the creek. When within twenty-five feet of the bank he saw the boy sink for the second time and throwing off his coat as he ran he jumped as far as he conld into the creek then hastily swam to where the boy was and grabbed him as he came to the sur- face. In less than a minute he bad the lad safely on shore and in his mother's arms. The child was speedily resuscitated and is none the worse for his accident. After the rescne young Waite went unconcernedly home and changed his wes clothing for dry. nn QA en ———H. L. Rooney and I. F.
