Bivds of a Feather.
Governor PENNYPACKER has practieaily |
declared that RoBERT M. SIMMERS, an
agent of the State Dairy and Food commis.
sion, who was suspended some time ago for
grafting will be re-instated. The Governor
hasn’t studied the case and doesn’t know
whether the accused is guilty or innocent.
But S1MMERS has been accused of graft
just as QUAY was accused of using the
state funds and as DURHAM and MARTIN
were accused of misfensances. ‘‘One touch
of nature makes the whole world kin,” and
the charge of graft enlists the sympathies
of PENNYPACKER. He may not bave in-
dulged the crime himself hut he loves those
who have and “‘birds of a feather flock to-
gether.”
SIMMERS was suspended by Pure Food
Commissioner WARREN on an affidavis
made by Alderman RosBiNs, of Wilkes-
barre, alleging that SiMMERS bad asked
him to overcharge fines and costs in cases
brought before him by S1MMERS, which he
did, dividing the prooseds of the fraud with
SIMMERS. An investigation since made cor-
roborates the statement of the Alderman,
He operated extensively in the northwest.
ern counties and in every case there were
overcharges. Naturally the Governor is
friendly toward him under the ciroum-
stances. His operations were in a small
way but they show that he bad the in-
stinots of QUAY, even if he badn’t the op-
portunities,
It is not surprising, either, that in mani-
festing his admiration for this cheap graf-
ter PENNYPACKER should avail himseif of
the opportunity to flingat Mr. D. CLAR-
ENCE GIBBONEY, of Philadelphia, who was
counsel against SIMMERS in the investiga.
tion. PENNYPACKER hates an earnest and
honest reformer as ‘‘the devil bates holy wa-
ter,’’ and says that ‘‘Mr. GInBOXY is one of
those men very worthy, perhaps,and means
well, but draws conclusions without suf-
ficient evidence.” The false syntax express
ed in that statement may be overlooked bus
she bad worals should certainly be repro-
bated. It is a shame that only vice is ap-
planded by PENNYPACKER.

PHILIP B.
CRIDER
—
DEATH OF PHILiP B. CRIDER.- Belle-
fonte and Centre county has loss another of
its prominent and well known citizens in
the person of Philip B. Crider, who died at
the home of his ton, F. W. Crider, on west
Lion street, at 11 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing. His illness dates back some two years or
more when be suffered a stroke of paraly-
sis which left him in a partially helpless
condition so that he has been an invalid
ever since. For the past year or «0 he grad-
ually grew worse and is was evident every
day that bis death was only a question of
a brief time, so that whea it did occur it
was not unexpected.
The sabject of this sketch came of good
old sturdy ancestry. He was a son of Wil.
liam and Mary Crider and was born in
Clinton county January 9th, 1822, so that
be was just eighty-five years and one day
old when be died. As that early day the
country was but meagerly developed and
his parents being poor he had few adranta.
ges of echooling and early in life started
to be sell-supporting. He learned the bus-
iness of manufacturing woolen goods under
John Rich and John Hillard, at Pine
Creek, Clinton county, with whom he re-
mained thirteen years. He then purchased
the old homestead and farmed for several
years when he launched into the lumber-
ing business.
His first venture was au operation bhe-
tween the Mosbannon creeks, in this coun-
ty, where he was engaged with Samuel
Crist, of Lock Haven, then cue of the big-
gest lomber operators in this part of the
State. He remained with Mr Crist three or
four years then began manufacturing lum-
ber for the Snow Shoe 1ailroad company.
Later he and Mr. Crist purchased the
plant and stock of Holmes & Wigton, also
big lomber operators. He next associated
bimsell with Gen. Beaver, the late E. C.
Humes aud others in operatingon a large
tract of land in Clearfield county. Later
he associated with himsel! his son,
F. W., and they began operations in the
Snow Shoe region gradually reaching out
until they bad lumber operations in vari-
ous parts of the country. Some twenty
years ago they established their plans in
this place and have since made the planing
mill business one of the important branches
of their large operations,
Notwithstanding the fact that he was so
extensively engaged in lumbering he never
lost his love for farm life and yeas ago
bought a large farm in Liberty township,
this county, which he made his home for
several years and where he proved that’
farming does pay. There is probably not
another farm in Centre county that has
heen brought up to the bigh state of culti-
vation as has the Crider farm in Bald Eagle
valley, while its buildings are models in
every way. In his farming Mr. Crider was
just as successful as he was in his lamber
Operations.
He was a man of a rather retiring dispo-
sition so that he never pretended to figure
much in public life, though he was always
a staunch Republican. His] whole time
was devoted to the management of his bus-:
ivess interests, a fact no doubt that ac-
counted for his wonderful success. Though
for a number of years the active manage-
ment of all their operations was in the
bands of bis son, Mr. Crider up until he
was stricken with paralysis two years ago
always kept tab on everything and could
transact business with the same sagaeity
he could when in his prime.
In 1844 he was united in marriage to
Mies Catharine Miller, of Clinton county,
by whom be had three children, only oue
of whom survives, Fountain W., of his
place. Mrs. Crider died in September,
1885.
. At the time of bis death Mr. Crider was
a member of the Methodist church and
Rev. James B. Stein will officiate at the

The body was found on the south side of
‘the quarry and about forty fees east, or

Steve Bovango was taken out, which is
| evidence of the fact that the men saw the
slide coming and were undoubtedly ran-
ning out of the mine in the hope of escap-
ing before the slide caught them. The ex-
pression on Bovango’s face was one of
great sarpriee and not one of pain, which
shows that his death must bave been in-
stantaneous,
Av examination of the body showed that
the right side of his head was crushed as
well as bis lefs leg and side, otherwise the
body was not mangled iu the least and in a
good state of preservation. This is account-
ed for by the fact that it lay under a big rock
which had been held up by other smaller
stones. It is believed that the body of
Steve Simeco will also be found nearby in
a day or two.
The funeral of George Bovango was held
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning from the
Catholic church and was largely attended
| by his native countrymen. Interment was
made in the Catholic cemetery.

OFFICERS INSTALLED. —A$
GRANGE
No. 254, of Pine Grove Milis, the follow
ing officers were installed for the ensaing
year by past master E. C. Musser:
Master, H. A. Elder; overseer, ¥. W.

Following the installation exercises there
was a lengthy discussion of the subject
dear to every farmer's heart, that of mar-
keting their products to the best possible
advantage. It was tle general opinion
that farmers should unite in a concerted
movement for the eale of their produce the
same as manufacturers unite for the sale
of their products. By the time this weighty
subject was disposed of everybody was in
good shape to enjoy the appetizing lunch
the ladies bad prepared for them.
A NEw FEATURE IN “UxcLE Tox's
CaBIN.—Mason Bros. claim to have en-
gawed this season the strongest acting com-
pany ever secured to present the gieat play
of Uncle Tom's Cabin. By dispensing
with the customary street parade and by
the employment of only actors and actress-
es of ability they bave been enabled to pre-
sent for the firss time in the history of the
drama a cast capable of giving a correct
aud acceptable production. From Uncle
| Tow down tothe most insignificans role,
the characters are in the hands of artists.
The company makes a feature of its daily
band concerts but there is no street parade,
the performance being given in the thea-
tres and not on the streets. See it at Gar-
man’s this (Friday ) evening.

BELLEFONTE PosTOFFICE Box RENTS TO
REMAIN THE SAME. —For the past month
or sv the press of our neighboring towns,
Altoona, Tyrone, Lock Haven, Pbilips-
burg and other places have been very much
exeroised over the fact that the box rents in
their postoffice have been increased. In
fact, have heen almost doubled over what
they have been in the past. The postmas-
ters of the various towns claimed that they
were acting under orders from the Post-
office Department in Washington and were
therefore not themselves responsible.
Naturally a great many box holders in
Belletonte have been wondering if the in.
orease in rentals wonld apply to the post-
office here. As a matter of information as-
sistant postmaster William Chambers was
asked in regard to the matter and he stated
thas there had been no order to raise the
rents here now or at any time in the future.
That the Department at Washington had
asked the postmaster here his opinion in
regard to the matter of rents and that he
had advised against any increase. In fact,
be suggested that if anything be done the
rentals be decreased, as they were thought
to be too high already. And that is the sit-
uation in Bellefonte as it stands at Dresent,
with no likelihood of a change.

A ——
FIRE AT LINGLE'S FOUNDRY. — Belle.
foute was visited by another fire on Wed-
| nesday evening when a good part of Lin-
| gle’s foundry plant was burned to the
| ground. It was jast about eight o'clock
| when the fire alarm sounded bat the fire
| had been burning some time before it was
{ discovered and bad gained such head way
by the time the fire companies got on the
ground that the flames were hard to com-
| bat,
| The fire started in the pattern shop and
from there communicated to the fan room,
then the engine house and finally the foun-
dry building. The three former were total-
ly destroyed while one end of the roof was
burved off the foundry. The origin of the
fire is a mystery, as there is never any fire
around the pattern shop, it being heated
by steam. A very high wind was blowing
at the time and it was only the good work
of the firemen which saved the entire plant
from destruction and probably prevented
the flames from communicating to other
buildings, notwithstanding the nearest was
some distance away.
Mr. Liogle’s loss is quite large. In fact
it is bard to compute as the patterns de-
stroyed were worth more than would ap-
pear at a casval inspection. Though he bas
some insurance it will not half cover his
loss. Some of the workmen also suffered
losses in tools, etc. For instance, Samuel
Gaisewhite’s loss was about two hundred
dollars with uo iusurance,
This is the second time Mr. Lingle has
suffered the destruction by fire of a part of
his plant and naturally he feels his loss
keenly. The destroyed patterns were worth
far more than can be estimated and it is
not only the loss from the value of the
property destroyed bus the inconvenience
is occasions him in his work. He bas some
large orders to fill and bas been working
night and day to do it and the fire has left
bim in a badly ezippled condition.
The loss will also be felt by Mr. Lingle's
employees, some of whom will be out of
work until the plant can be rebuilt. While
as a general thing little is said or besrd
about Lingle’s foundry itis really one of
the best industries of the town. It always
gives work to a large number of men and
many of them skilled mechanics, so that
the monthly pay roll means a large amount
of money which is all spent in this com-
muvity. The plant will be rebuilt juss as
quickly as possible.

PowpeR MILL EXPLOSION TAKEN FOR
AN EARTHQUAKE.—The people of the
south eide—Siate College, Pine Grove
Mills, the Branch, in fact all along the
Seven mountain range were startled out of
their qoiet slumbers yesterday morning
about 5 45 o'clock by what they believed
to be an earthquake. In fact the effect
was 80 like the real thing that they bad
every reason to think as they did. Houses
shook and windows rattled bard enongh to
awaken the soundest sleeper and alarm
most anybody, In Elmer Musser's house
on the Branch twenty panes of window
glass were broken, while windows were
broken in many houses in Pine Grove
Mills and along the mountain.
However, when proper inquiry and in-
vestigation was made it was found that the
shock was caused by the explosion of the
powder mill of G. R. Macabee, of Pitts-
burg, which is located between Hollidays-
burg aud Williamsburg. Naturally, to
cause the shook it did hundreds of tons of
powder must bave gove up in smoke in an
instant. Full particulars have not been
learned aside from the fact that nobody
was killed or even hurt, and the people of
the south side, upon learning the cause of
the shock ceased quaking in their shoes and
went to work as usual.
A number of persons in Bellefonte were
awakened by the shook, which was very
distinctly fels here.
