THE Passixa oF THE MANN'S AXE.
—Au item of pews from Lewistown an-
nounces the fact that the plant of the
American Axe and Tool company, better
know as the Mann's axe factory, located in
Mann's Narrows, near thas place, is being
dismantled. The best of the machinery
will be shipped to other plants operated by
the company while the balance of it will be
sold as junk.
The dismantling of the above plant marks
the fast passing out of existence of the
Mann Axe, which in its day was regarded
by woodsmen as the best axe manufactur-
ed, and thereby haogs a tale which is of
more or less local interest, owing to the
fact that the first axe manufactured by the
Mann's was made at Axe Mana, not far
from Bellefonte.
It was in 1825 when William Manu, an
axe maker, came here from Johnstown,
Montgomery county, N. Y. He hought
the ground on Logan's brauch, two miles
southeast of Bellefonte, on which he bhuils
an axe factory, and around which grew the
village of Axe Mann. Two years later he
wis joined by his brother, Harvey Mann,
and the two soon built up a profitable trade
and opened the way for the extensive manu-
facture of axes. Their brand they named
the Mann axe, and as it proved to he an
exceptionally good implement, the demand
incieased beyond the capacity of their
plant.
Consequently, in 1833 William Maun
retired from the original firm and went to
Lewistown where be built the plant as that
place. As the sous of the elder Maun's
grew to manhood they engaged in the bhusi-
negs with their fathers and a quarter of a
century later the axe factory at Mill Hall
was built by some .[ the Mann's. For
years the thiee factories did a big hosiness
aod their output was limited only to the
capacity of their factories.
Sometime in the latter eighties the
American Axe and Tool eompany was or-
ganized as a trust and very flattering offers
being made to the Mann's the three plants
were absorbed by the trust and most every
member of the Mann family given a good
position. James H. Maun, of Lewistown,
was made treasurer of the company and the
late J. Fearon Mann, then a resident of
Bellefonte, was made superintendent of the
Axe Mann factory ata good salary. The
trust operated the plants only about two
years when they closed them down and
gradually every member of the Maun fam-
ily dependent on the plants at Axe Mann
and Lewistown were squeezed out of their
interest in the company and from that time
on hoth plants were operated only spasmod-
ically for a few years then closed down for
good. The plant at Axe Mano was dis-
mantled a number of years ago and now
the one ut Lewistown is being torn down,
so that all that now remains of the once
historic Mann's axe factories is the plant as
Mill Hall; while the implement itself has
been so changed as not to be recognized as
the once famous Mann's axe.

BiG BARN BURNED.—The big hank barn
on the farm lately owned hy L. C. Bolopue,
east of Howard was entirely destroyed by
fire early Sunday night. Mr. Bolopue, who
intends going to Oklahoma to make bis
home, recently sold the farm to Richard
Hoghes, of Osceola Mills. Last Wednes-
day Mr. Bolopue made public sale of all
his farm stock, machinery and grain, Mr.
Hughes being a big buyer, so that in Sun-
day night's fire he lost not only his build-
inge but also two horses,one cow, five hogs
and about eight hundred bushels of grain,
as well as some hay and farm machinery.
The fire started about 8 o'clock in the even.
ing in the hay mow and when discovered
had gained such headway that it was im-
possible to save anything. It is believed
: to have been the work of a tramp. The
loss is quite heavy and the amount of in-
surance carried, if any, has not been learued.

No NEW DEVELOPMENTS.—Up to this
writing there have heen no new develop-
ments in the case of the murder of Josiah
Dale, on Nittany mountain, two weeks ago
last Monday night. The local authorities
are doing everything in their power to run
to earth the man who so deliberately fired
the fatal shot, but as the deed was done
under cover of darkness, and no real trace
or clue left, is isa difficult matter to ferret
out the guilty party. But the old saw is
that murder will out and there is little
doubt but that the murderer of Josiah
Dale, as well as those of John Kachie, near
Clarence, and Clyde Auman, in Penn town-
ship, will be detected some time and
brought to justice. So let the public at
large possess their souls in patience and
await for fall developments, which, we
have no doubt, will all come in due time.

FIRE LAST SBATURDAY.—Shortly after 1
o'clock last Saturday an alarm of fire
‘brought out the fire department, the
flames proving to be in the house on Val-
entine street just two doors fiom the Belle-
fonte hospital, owned by a Mrs. Gray and
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Young.
The fire bad already gained such headway
that it wae impossible to extinguish it un-
til the building was almost totally destroy-
ed. Moss of the fainiture was saved. The
fire caught on the rool and as a high wind
was blowing the firemen had some diffienl-
ty in saving the adjoniing buildings.

—-—Henry Lowery with bis son James
and daughter Bella were among the very
few excursionists who went from Bellefonte
to take a lock at the new capitol building
last Saturday. Of course Henry isa car-
penter and likewise of course, he is a Re-
publican, which probably accounts to a
great extent for the way in which he up-
holds the capitol as a most magnificent
building, fully worth the thirteen million
dollars it cost, though he concedes that the
contractor was houeatly entitled to ten per
cent. profit on the job.
——The time of year is now here when
the wise buyer is beginning to look around
for the best place to make his or her Christ-
mas purchases. And to do this sucoesstally
is a moss perplexing question. The busi-
ness men of the town—that is, the mer-
chante—could help the purchaser out con-
siderably by advertising his Christmas
specialties. Aud in doing so ie would not
only be helping the public bat he would
be increasing his holiday trade anywhere
from fifty to one hundred per cent. The
wise buyer will go where he knows he can
get what he wants. And as everybody
reads the newspapers these days, au ad-
vertisement therein will tell the public
just what you have got to offer. As an ad-
vertising medium the WATCHMAN cannot
be excelled in bringing the results. We
know this. To convince yourself, try it
with a holiday ad.

ly in bis den, which was under the roots of
a fallen tree. The two men were almost
within reach of the bear when they shot
bim and two well directed shots put two
balls in his head befsre be could make a
move. Though the animal was not weigh-
ed it is estimated by those who examined
it that it would tip the beam at not less
than three hundred pounds. | This was the
second bear killed by the Daley's this win-

THE VILLAGE PARSON.—‘‘The Village
Parsou’’ is expeoted to draw largely at
Garman’e, Monday evening, December 3rd,
as it is claimed to be one of the strongest
and best plays seen at this theatre this
season. The story of the play is one of
considerable power, iy which the sorrows
and contemplations of a village minister
are detailed. He is subjected to strong
trials through the supposed faults of his
wife aod ber father, who are really inno-
cent. The good man goes from bad to
worse, aud the wrongs are corrected in the
orthedox fashion. The cast is made up of
many prominent dramatic players and
new and saperb scenery is employed, while
the production is moss complete in every
way.

——Great indignation is felt among the
students of the Bellefonte Academy over
the fact that the Baltimore University foot-
ball team cancelled their game with the
local eleven for Thanksgiving. The Balti-
moreans asked for the game early in the
season, put it on their regular schedule
and every arrangement was eatislzotorily
wade. Then on Monday, at the last mo-
ment, they telegraphed cancelling the
game, unless the Academy would consent
to play them in Beliefonte and put up a
guarantee for their expenses, ete. Thi, of
