Though | was well known by a number of people in ! He's FROM SCRANTON, —On Monday af- ternoon a man who gave his name as James Torrell and who said he bailed from Saran- ton, came topsy-turvying down High street as the result of baving partaken to liberal- ly of the “cup that cheers.” He stopped at Doll's bakery in the Bush Arcade, step- ped in the doorway and deliberately kick- ed io the lower balf of one of the big plate glass windows, then stepped back, survey- ed bis work and remarked: ‘“Now what in ——= did I do that fo1?"’ Of course is was impossible for the by- standers to answer his question, and nos wishing to do things by halves he went into the store, grabbed a broom and pro- ceeded to knock out the pieces of glass thas badn’t fallen to the floor, an occupation he was engaged in bus a very brief while, as the Doll brothers forcibly ejected him into the strees. The man then went to she Bush house for more stimulant and it was while there thas he was arrested hy the police and locked np. He was given the alternative of paying for the broken glass as well as costs or going to jail and as he bad no money to pay with be was sent to Fort Kline and it is likely that a charge of malicious mischief wiil be lodged against him. Torrell, it appears, isa bartender and bad been working in Lewistown until recently when he lost his job through bard drinking. It is stated that he walked over the feven mountains and Monday afternoon as he was coming in the pike a Spring township farmer pass- ed him. Being a little tired Torrell said: "Give me a ride to Bellefonte, pardner.”’ ‘Can't do it,” replied the man; “I've got too big a load on.”’ “All right,’ said Torrell. “I've gota big load on myself, and I guess I'd better walk it off.” ad FIRST DEFINITE TRACE OF CENTRE HALL Postorrice ROBBERS.—On the morning of Easter Sunday the postoflice at Centre Hall was broken into, the safe blown open and cash, stamps and perd@pal papers belonging to postmaster George M. Boal stolen. Though the rohbers were seen when they left the postoffice they sue- | ceeded in making their escape in the dark- ness, leaving no trace, whatever, as to which way they bad gone. The next day two tramps were arrested between Spring Mills avd Coburn and brought to jail here and are still being' keld on suspicion of their baving been connected with the crime, Up until this week the only evidence ax to the way the robbers went when they left Centre Hall was the finding of the tools which they used to force an entrance into the building under the station platform at Grange Park. Oo Tuesday, however, while fishing in the Seven mountaine, Mif- flin Moyer found the mail bag which the robbers carried away with them, lying at the edge of the stream. The place where it was found was about one and a half miles beyond Potters Mills. Iu the wail bag were all of postmaster Boal's private papers which had been carried off by she robbers. From this it is very evident that the robbers made their escape direct across the Seven wountaing, and there is now a supposition that they may have had a horse and wagon in waiting a little distance from Centre Hall and thus were able to get out of the community the same night. The mail bag was returned to the Centre Hall postoffice on Wednesday. aaa EIGHT INCHES OF SNOW .~--In last week's WATCHMAN appeared an item on the cool weather during the month of April in which it was stated that snow had fallen eleven of the eighteen dass up to that time. Asif in confirmation of that item, aud before the paper reached its readers— in fact, early Friday morning—it began to snow and the storm was as big a one as any during the winter. It snowed all fore- noon and until about one o'clock and the fall of snow was fally eight inches. Of courte much of it melted that day, but some of it lay on the ground most of Satar- day. Naturally such a fall brought in ev- idence the ‘‘oldest inhabitant’ with “his tale of woe’ and, though ‘we thought eight inches of snow on April 19th some- what of a record breaker we were easily silenced by the man who remembered twenty years ago when there was sucha deep snow-fall on the 20th of April in Williamsport that the street car companies were compelled to put on snow plows in order to clear their tracks. ee MASQUE CARNIVAL AT THE RINK FOR BENEFIT OF THE BELLPONTE HOSPITAL. -=Zhe ladies of Bellefonte have arranged with Richard + Taylor, manager, for the holding of a masque carnival atthe skating tink, next Wednesday evening, May 1st, for thé benefit of the Bellefonte hospital. The public in general is invited and every- body will be welcome. The usual prices will prevail for admission and skates. Ice cream and other refreshments will be serv. ed at reasonable rates. If you ever skated on rollers in your life you don't want to miss this carnival as it will be a big event; and if gou’never saw a pair of skates you want to go next Wednesday night just for the enjoyment you will have out of is. A —————— MARRIAGE LicENsEzs.—The following marriage licenses were issued the past week by Register Earle C. Tuten: : William L. Markle, of Hollidaysburg, and Katharine Lyon, of Bellefonte, Charles O.

Spangler, both of Blanchard. Samael B. Leitzell, of Punxsutawney, and Edna Thomas, of Bellefonte, ov PARSON'S ABSENT-MINDEDNESS SPOILS 4 Goop STORY.-- Just because Rev. J. Alli- son Platts bad aspell of absent-minded ness on Monday we bad a good story for this week’s paper which we were compelled to ‘‘blue pencil,’ which means kill it becanse it wasn't correct. On Saturday the rever- end gentleman made preparations to take a trip to Elmira, N. Y. He purchased his ticket and lefs it with his clerical order in the pocket of his heavy overcoat., Sanday afternoon he looked for bis coat and found it among the missing and he at once jump- ed to the conclusion thas some bard-hears- ed person had surreptitiously entered the parsovage on Sanday morning, while be was laboring lor the spiritual welfare of his congregation, and had carried off his ooas, vierieal order, milroad ticket and all. The matter was reported to the police and Rev. Platts was compelled to defer his de- ing until afternoon. Of course the writer heard the stiry and we already had in typea thrilling story picturing the lowness and bard-beartedness of the individual who would enter a minis- ter’s home and steal bis overcoat while he was preaching repentance to sinners in need of salvation—as well as others. But the whole story was spoiled later when it was learned that the parson’s overcoat had been returned. In fact, it had never heen stolen at all, hut had been ‘left in Yeager & Davis’ shoe store by Rev. Platts himself, who absent-mindedly walked off without it. The result is that he now not only has his overcoat and clerical order back hut also bas a railroad ticket to Elmira that he bas no immediate nse for. A LITTLE DIPHTHERIA SCARE. —Post. master Thos. H. Harter and the employees io the Bellefonte postoffice bad a little diphtheria scare last Friday morning which ccnsiderably agitated their usoally calm | demeanors. It appears that for a week | prior to that time Morton Smith, mailing | clerk, had been troubled with a sore throat. It started with a slight attack of quinsy, | after which sore spots developed which the attending physician diagnosed as tonsilitis, but the illness was not bad enough to keep Smith confined to the house and be was at work every day. Friday morning he went to the postoffice as usual, opened up and distributed ‘the 8.16 mail of the :vening previous, then went home for his breakfast. Feeling quite badly hie sent for bis physician. who, alter making avotber examination, pro- | nounced the disease diphtheria. Some- time later Will Chambers went to Smith's home on Bishop street and learning the doctor's decision hastened back to the post- office avd told the story, which vaturally created considerable consternation. The Postoffice Department at Washington was telegraphed for instructions as to what should be done aud the local hoard of health appealed to. The former advised following the instructions of the latter which were to send out the carriers with the morning mail then clese the office for five hours avd fomigate it as well as the wails thoroughly. All the employees were also fumigated and so far nos another case of the disease has appeared. In the mean- time Smith is getting along all right and wiil be out in a few days. tea CurFEw LAW T0 Go IN EFFECT ON MoNpAY.—In accordance with the ordi- nance recently passed by borough council the curfew law will become effective next Monday evening, so when you hear the fire alarm blow at 8:45 o'clock don't think there is n fire and start to hant it ; but in- stead, il you are under sixteen years of age you’d better hunt your home. And while we don’t wish to appear personal we want to extend a special warning to such boys as Matty Dooley, Jakey Lyon, Bernie Me- Clein, eto., eto., etc., to be sare and get home hefore nine o'clock and thus escape falling into the hands of the police. -e Boy KILLED ON RAILROAD.—Michael Thrusoo, aged ten years, and his little sis- ter, of Powelton, near Sandy Ridge, were playing on the railroad near their home on Tuesday afternoon when engine No, 1842 roving light came along. The children failed to see or hear it until it wae almost upon them. The little girl jumped and es- caped bus the boy was struck and hurled to obe side of the track with such force that be was instantly. killed. The body was picked up and taken to Osceola where it was prepared for burial, the funeral being beld yesterday. : bi ’ ——— Ea in ——— “SEVEN Come ELEVEN.’ —Quite uatur- ally the foregoing sounds something like a game of eraps, but this was far from it. In fact, to be exactly correct, it should be ‘‘eleven come seven,” for Monday was the eleventh anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Beezer and in celebra- tion of the event they bad a trout sapper at which seven were present. Of cofirse we donot know just who caught the trons, but there were plenty of them and to spare. It might also be mentioned that it was a stag affair and those who were present were Jobo F. Potter, D. J. Kelly, DeLaun Stewart, Thomas Beaver, H. S. Ray, Frank i "| Hawn, of DuBoie, and George A. Beezer. The decorations included beautiful ecarna- tions. — * WANT MORE WAGES. —The members of the local carpenters’ union have given no- tice that they want an increase in wages of two cents an hour, or. from $2.50 to $2.70 per day, beginving with May firse. Up to this time the various contractors and the proprietors of the two planing mills have given no intimation as to whether they will pay tie advance demanded or not. In the event they refuse to do so there is talk of a strike, but it is hoped the matter may . be amicably compromised on acoeptahle ! terms to both sides. ! partare for Elmira from Monday morn- | One or THE DELIGHTS OF AvroMopIL 1%6.—On Sanday afternoon Dr. J. J. Kil. patrick took his wife and little daughter out for an automobile ride and made Hecla Park their destivation. About six o'clock in the evening, just as they started on the return trip howe, the casing on one of his rear tires came off. Of course there were no witnesses present so is is impossible to chronicle all the pleasant things the doctor undonbtedly said during the one hour or more he was engaged in tryiog to replace the casiug while Mrs. Kilpatrick and their little girl stood by, shivering with the cold. Fortunately, however, just about dark De- Laan Stewart and his mother and Mr. and Mrs. George A. Beezer and two children, who bad taken supper at the Country club, came along and seeing the doctor's predie- ament stopped to offer condolences. Mrs. Kilpatrick and listle girl were put in the rig and Mr. Stewart drove on home while Mr. Beezer remained to help doctor the an- tomobile. But it wounldn’t doctor. Try their best the two of them could not re- place the loosened casing. Now “Gyp” bas always been a good liveryman, so call- ing some of his horse sense to his aid he suggested that they take off the inner tube and come home on the rim of the wheel, an undertaking that seemed preferable to camping out all night. Of course the doctor fell in with the idea and the tube was removed, the machine cranked and the belated automobilists started. Naturally an antomobile always makes enough noise but the racket made by Kilpatrick and Deezer on their way home was beyond conjecture. In facta threshing machine would bave been com- parative silence alongside of it. When they reached Zion they ronted one of the merchants out of church and bought forty or filty yards of rope which they wrapped around the wheel as n'sort of muffler then started on homie, but by the time they got to the top of the hill this side of Zion the tope bad heen cat into shreds and was strewn by the roadside, so they were com. pelled to buzz-saw their way home, reach- ing bere along toward nine o'clock, with one rear wheel whose rim was so ‘badiy battered thas it mdy have to he replaced with a uew one. . But then they got home. yaa STEVE SiMCor's Bony Locartep.—On Tuesday afternoon the body of Steve Sim: coe, the last of the three Austrians killed in the big fall of rock in No. 2 quarry of the American Lime and Stone company, on the evening of December 7th, 1906, over four months ago, was located, though up to this writing it bas not been recovered and it may be several days before it is. It will be recalled that Steve Bovango, Steve Simeoe and Mike Bovaugo were loading a car when the slide occurred. Steve Bo- vavgo rin up the side of the quarry alter calling the.davger signal to his compan ions, but be did not get high vnoogh and was caught hy the falling roek« and hie legs and the lower pats of bis body +o bad: ly crushed he died shortly after being re- moved. The body of his brother was re- covered some #ix weeks after the accident and was found only a short distaues from where the men bad been at work when the slide ccourred. Simcoe’s body has been found wedged under the car they were loading,and under two immeuse rocks which it will be neces- eary to blass before the body can be re- moved. Evere effort will be made to re- lease the remains as soon as possible, alter which they will be buried in the Catholic cemetery, - oe Kxow A Goon THING WHEN THEY SEE Ir.—~It is not all of us who know, ao- knowledge or appreciate a good thing when we have it. There are those who do, how- ever, and the WATCHMAN is prond of the fact that among its multitude of patrons there are few who do not. Late mails have brought us many kind words and much encouragement, and we kuow that no exe onse will be necessary for the publication of just a few of these appreciative expres- sions : From Mr. J. A. Heckendorn, of Karthaus: “Your paper is a household necessity.’ From Mrs. David M. Weaver, of Bellwood: “The WATCHMAN is getting better every week and soon ought to be as perfect as a paper can be.” From Mrs. Hattie F. Stover, Millbeim : ‘Have oyed the WATCHMAN more the last year than ever before.” From Mr. G. K, Hall, Spirit Lake, Iowa : “Jt is like writing av old friend to read the WaAarcnMan.” From J. W. Fay ., Galesburg, Ill : “I was raised in re rr pambaty, county, and the WATCHMAN is like a letter home weekly.” °°: From J. H. Adaws, le, Arizona: “I do not wonder that my old home county re- mains steadfastly Democratic amid the po- litical demoralizatian that has overwhelmed Pennsylvania. It has the WATCHMAN asa guiding star, and no one who has ever read it but recognizes its honesty and ability and respects its consistency and fearlessness.” VERSATILITY PERSONIFIED.—We al- ways knew that Ollie Campbell was one of the best telephone men in this part of the State, as well as a good trout fisherman and a “‘hail fellow well met,” but as to his theatrical talent we were in the dark and, naturally, beiog a friend of his, we quaked iv our shoes lest he would not hold the boards down all right in his part in the amateur theatrical performance at Barnes: boro on Wednesday night of last week. But our fears were all for naught. When the performance was ready to begin it was discovered that the leading soloist was missing and Ollie was substituted. Hasti- ly blacking his face he appeared before the footlights, and John C. HMilier, in the Barneshoro Siar saye, “his singing brought down the house, especially when his voice reached as high as eighteen amperes or de. scended to one obm ; be also displayed so much energy that his dynamo caused a short circuit and burned out his lightning arrester.” 4 '
