CENTRE HALL PosTOFFICE ROBBED. —A
trail of bloodshed and robbery seems to he
"| banging over Pennsvalley, the latest mark
of its course being the robbery of the post-
office at Centre Hall at an early hour Sun-
day morning. It was just about two
o'clock when half the people in the town
were awakened from their peaceful slnmbers
by a terrific explosion. There was no mis-
take but that the explosion was almost in
the centre of thetown but in the dazed and
sleepy condition of those who were aronsed
it was some little time before the exact
place was located and by that time the rob-
bers had secured their booty and made
their escape.
The Geiss home is right across the sticet
from the postoffice and Miss Verna Geiss
was naturally awakened by the noise of
the explosion. Sbe ran to a front window
and was jost in time to see three men leave
the building and make away toward the
depot. She immediately called D. B. Brix-
bin and E. M. Huyett, nearby neighbms
and told them what she had seen. Word
was at once telephoned Mr. George M.
Boal, the postmaster, that the postoflice
was being 1obbed. In the meantime some
balf a dozen or more men had arrived on
the scene and they surrounded the build-
ing so that in the event of any of the rob.
bers etill being within they could effect
their capture or at least prevent their es-
cape until more help arrived.
It wae not long nntil Mr. Boal arrived
and with several other men entered the
building only to find that their birds had
flown. The door of the big safe had heen
drilled and blown off with such force as to
fall against the side walls of the room. A
thorough examination showed that the rab.
bers had gotten away with everything of
any value, which included the following :
Stamps, $424.73 ; postal funds, $47.75 ;
money order funds, $13.19 ; seventy-five
blank money orders numbered from 5125 to
5200. The above was government prop-
erty. Of Mr. Boal’s private property they
carried off a bandle of deeds and mortgages,
several agreements, quite a number of notes
representing a large sum of money aud a
whole lot of private papers that it will be
impossible to replace, so that Mr. Boal’s
personal loss is quite a large ove.
As soon as the robbery was discovered
searching parties were formed and the town
and veathy country gone over thoroughly
but the night was so dark that it was im-
possible to get any trace of the robbers,
Early in the morning news of the robbery
was telephoned to Bellefonte and all sur-
rounding towns. Quite a number of Belle-
fonters went to Centie Hall, among them
sheriff Henry Kline and policeman William
Beezer. Not being able to find any trace
of where the robbers went it was like
hunting a needle in a hay stack to try to
find them. Kline and Beezer went down
the valley toward Spring Mills and coming
across two tramps sitting along the railroad
boiling coffee proceeded at once to arrest
them. The men were brought to Bellefonte
and locked up. They gave their names as
William White and Edward Rine, and it
is bardly likely they are the right men.
The robbery was evidently the work of
professionals, from the neatness and dis-
patch with which they did the job. The
tools with which the door was broken open
and the safe drilled had been stolen from
Samune! Knepley's blacksmith shop. This,
some thooght, indicated that the robbery
had been done by local people, but proles-
sional safe-crackers these days do not carry
any tools on their person, relying entirely
on stealing what they need from the near-
est blacksmith shop.
The fact is now recalled that last Friday
and Saturday three strange men were no-
ticed around Centre Hall and several times
they bad been seen lurking in the vicinity
of the postoffice. As it is,however, it would
be doubtful if anybody would be able to
identify the men, even if the; were to be
caught and should be the right parties.
EASTER SERVICES IN THE BELLEFONTE
CHURCHES. —The Easter services in the
Bellefonte churches last Sunday were ex-
ceptionally interesting. All the pastors
preached appropriate sermons in the morn-
ing and in the evening there were special
programs of song service. All the churches
in town were profusely decorated with
potted plants and flowers and every one
who attended felt that it was good to be
there. The music in all the churches was
well worth hearing as the ohoirs had heen
well drilled and special singers bad been
secured for the occasion. In St. John's
Reformed church the benevolent offerings
were the largest for several years, amouns-
ing in all to $108.65. Daring last week
the following new members were received
into that church: Mr. and Mrs. Edward
Harper, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Klinger,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Deitrick, Miss Bertha
M. Deitrick, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Tillman,
Mrs. Mary Greth and Blaine Mabus.
EGas AND PorAToES. — In accordance
with the request of the Ladies Auxiliary of
the Bellefonte hospital for an Easter dona-
tion of eggs and potatoes from the pupils
of the public schools, last Thursday, all
responded most liberally. The total con-
tribution was just sixty-one dozen and
eleven, or 743 eggs in all and ten bushels
of potatoes. There was not a scholar in
the school who did not contribute either
an epg or a potato while some took a hall
dozen eggs and others a peck or half
bushel of potatoes.

~—— While the kind of weather we have
been having this week is not the kind to
make a man feel very much like digging
garden or mowing the lawn, yet the time
is fast drawins near when the man with
the spade and hoe will be in daily evidence;
and it will only be a question of a few days
until the farmers will be busy plowing for
their spring crops.

-— Among those who moved this week
were E. J. Teaman from the Cooke house
on Willowbank street to the R. M. Magee

Tuesday, April 9th, at 1 o'clock p.m.
sharp. This demonstration was one sched-

persons interested are invited to attend

instructive as to the destruction of insect
pests.

—— Joseph J. Rhoads, a son of Mis.
Maria D. Rhoads, of this place, was recent-
ly promoted from the position of assistant
engineer of the Philadelphia and Erie di-
vision of the Pennsylvania railroad to that
of assistant engineer of the Philadelphia
Terminal division on the main line of the
Penueylvania railroad, with headquarters
at Philadelphia. The appointment, which
sock effect April 1st, is one of considerable
responsibility and comes to our fellow-
townsman as a well-merited promotion.

——Rev. Joseph Barnard, of Madison,
Ind., will be in Bellefonte and preach in
the Presbyterian church next Sanday, in
the evening only. It wiil be remem-
bered by the older residents of Bellefonte
that Rev. Barnard was pastor of the Belle-
foute church in the early sixties. At that
time he was very much interested in the
welfare of the Bellefonte Academy and it
was while a resident here that his son,
George Gray Barnard, the celebrated scalp-
tor, of New York, was horn. While here
Rev. Barnard will be the guest of Mr.
William P. Howes and that gentleman
very kindly invites all his old friends to
call and renew acquaintance once again.
EE— ad
—— Qu Monday evening a certain Belle-
foute gentleman went intoa pool room in
town and took off his overcoat to play a
few games of pool. When the game broke
up he looked for his overcoat and it was
goue and all inquiry failed to locate its
whereabouts. Naturally, the conclusion
was reached that somebody had taken it in
mistake, inasmuch as a strange overcoat
was left in ite place. Tuesday morning,
however, when the first named gentleman
came down stairs he found his coat bang-
ing on the rack in the ball, and is now
more mystified than ever to understand
how it got there. In the meantime, up
until this item was written, the strange
coat left in the pool room has not been
called for.
——On Thursday of last week a well
dressed stranger stopped at the home of D.
0. Downing, at Vail, and told him the ap-
parently plansible story that while he and
his wife were passing there a day or two
previous he lost a diamond stick-pin valued
at $1,500, and asked him if he had seen or
heard anything of it. Mr. Downing told
him he badn’t and after pretending to
search for it for some time the man said he
would bave to go and gave Mr. Downing
his address in one of the large cities, telling
him if he found it to write him as he would
pay a large reward for its recovery. The
same evening another stranger knocked at
Mr. Downiog's door and on being confront-
ed exhibited a stick-pin which he said he
had found nearby and would give to Down-
ing for just enough cash to take him to
Pittsburg. Mr. Downing didn’t bite and
the man is likely walking to the Smoky
city. It would be well for people in the
country to be on the lookout for these two
bunco-steerers.
~——A new sign has been put up by the
Adams Express company in front of their
office in the Bush house block, and just to
keep even the American Express com-
pany’s wagon has been repainted like new.
— —
mutual agreement between the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph and Cable
companies a new schedule of rates was put
into effect on April first which provides
for an increase over the old rates of any-
where from ten to thirty-three per cent.
From Bellefonte instead of the old flat
rate of twenty-five cents to moss all towns
in Pennsylvania and New York city, the
rate now is twenty-five cents to Harrisburg
and towns within a limited square of
Bellefonte; thirty cents to Philadelphia,
thirty-five cents to Pittshurg, forty cents
to New York city, and correspondingly
increased rates to other States. It is stated
that the increase will mean the flowing
into the coffers of the telegraph companies
of from six to seven million dollars a year
over avd above the receipts in the past.
This will make up more than five times
over the recent increase of ten per cent. in
the salaries of their employees.
It is also stated by shippers that the ex-
press companies have increased their rates
on varions classes of merchandise, one
Bellefonte business man asserting that his
express charges on certain packages are al-
most double what they were a year ago; in
fact, they have become so excessive that he
has notified all manafactorers with whom
he deals to in the fatare ship all goods to
him by freight, unless specially ordered.
In Bellefonte there is also a tendency to
increase prices. The proprietors of the
Bush and Brockerhoff houses are sending
out notices to their patrons that on and
after April 15th, their rates for board and
lodging will be increased from $2.00 to
$2.50 per day, a fact, they claim, rendered
absolutely necessary because of the ad-
vance in prices of all the necessaries of life.
The Centre county doctors have for some
time been considering the question of rais-
ing the obarge for visits from $1.50 to
$2.00, so that the only real thing that is as
cheap as it ever was is the pure mouotain
air we breathe, and we live in daily dread
lest some corporation will begin to bottle
that aod charge us for it.

OPENING OF THE TroUT FISHING SEA-
SON.—One week from next Monday will be
Aprii 15th, and the opening of the trout
fishing season. Quite vaturally this isa
day and date aiways anxiouely looked for-
ward to hy all disciples of Izaak Walton,
and we have them in goodly numbers not
only in Bellefonte but all through Centie
county. Unlike most years for some time
past, when the water would be low and
clear and piscatorialists would bave an op-
portunity to inspect the streams and see
what the outlook for the opening day
would be, there has been no such oppor-
tunity so far this year. The waters have
not only been high but in most of the
streams throughout the county have been
quite cloudy so that it has heen next to
imposeible to see the fish in the stream,and
up to this time none of the local fishermen
can even venture a prediction as to whether
trout will be plentiful or scarce this year.
It is asafe guess, however, that thers
will not be very much difference in the
number or size of the trout in Centre coun-
ty streams this year from any year in the
past decade, the only question will be as to
who will be the most fortunate among the
scores of fishermen who will go out on the
morning of April 15th and sacceed in bring-
ing home a nice basket of the speckled beau-
ties. Certain it is that there were plenty of
trout in the streams last fall and so far as has
been reported there was no special epidemic
of disease among them during the winter;
while the water was always high enough to
keep them from being frozen to death. So
it is safe for all to feel assured of the usual
luck on the opening day.

“Tug Litre HoMEsTeADp.”! — The
amusement loving people who enjoy a good
rural drama of the pronounced type, but
still with plenty of comedy, sensatiof and
heart interest, should witness ‘“The Little
Homestead’’ which comes to Garman’s,
Monday night, April 8th. The story is from
the pen of Mr. W. B. Patton, who has
written a number of well known successes
and in “The Little Homestead’’ has writ-
ten a play that will live in the hearts of the
people. It is told in four acts of an erring
wife, who leaves a happy home to be de-
graded and carried down to destitation hy
a false lover; but virtue (triumphs in the
end. A very difficult character part is that
of ‘Monte Peyser,’”’ which is played by
William McCauley, who is said to be an
exceptionally clever actor and is spoken of
very highly by the press in the cities where
“The Little Homestead’’ has been pre-
sented. All special scenery will be used
in this production.
Soox READY FOR THE Brast.—The
Nittany Iron company is fast getting things
in shape to put their plant in operation
again. If everything goes along all right
the interior fire wall will be completed by
tomorrow night or Monday and they ex-
pect to be in shape to start the fires not
later than the fifteenth of the month. This
is sooner than was anticipated when the
gas explosion put the furnace out of busi-
ness six weeks ago. But they were very
fortunate in being able to remove most of
the filling in the furnace with nothing
more than pick and shovel. This was the
case with all save one big lomp of cinder
and iron, weighing over nine tons. It was
80 hard that fourteen sticks of dynamite
put off on top of it failed to make any im-
pression and it had to be removed by hoist-
ing it out with chain and tackle. It was
then swung onto a flat car, bauled out and
thrown on the cinder dump.
