hearse had to get off to keep from being
hit on the head.
Ax INTERESTING EVENT IN LocaL |
ATHLETICS.—A new and very interesting
epoch in the athletic life of the Bellefonte
Academy will be ushered in next Monday
afternoon at 3:30 o'cleck, when the Kis- |
kiminetas Springs schicol base ball nine—
the leading *‘Prep’’ school team of Western |
Pennsylvania—will inaugurate athletic re-
lations with the Bellefonte Academy —the |
leading secondary school of Central Penn- |
sylvania—on Beaver field, at State College. |
| Both nines are playing fine ball and a most
interesting and exciting contest may be ex-
pected. The “Kiski’' nine defeated the
State Reserves at Baltshurg recently by the
iscoreol Sto 1.
A very interesting incident in the ap-
proaching contest will be the fact that the
Fallerton brothers will be the opposing
| pitchers and that fact in itself promises a
good game.
For many years past the Academy has
had strong foot ball aod base ball teams |
but has never been able to compare their
strength with the respective teams of the
tions and the expense necessitated in bring-
ing their teams together. State College,
with her wonted farsightedness, has ap-
proved in mass meeting the plan suggested |
hy Mr. Jas. R. Hughes to have one base |
ball game in the spring aud ove foot ball
game in the fall of each passing year play- |
ed on Beaver field hetween the Academy
and some standard preparatory school team.
The State College students voted to give
these games their heartiest financial sup- |
port, which means much for the Academy.
Such a plan will nos only benefit the Acad-
emy by giving it an opportunity to ad-
vertise its desirable location and its worthi-
ness as an opponent to the ‘Prep’ schools
of its class and to the public at large, hut
it will demonstrate to the students of the
visiting teams the attiactiveness of The
Pennsylvania State College both as to its
beautiful environment, fine buildings, and
its high grade of practical intellectual work
done. The influence that will react upon
both institutions can never be measured.
A large number of friends of the Acade-
my should attend this interesting occasion.
The State College cadet band will furnish
the musie. On Decoration day the Acade-
wy will play a return game at Kiskimine-
tas. The tickets at State will be sold hy
the College students who prepared at the
Academy.
Prof. Wilson, who isat the head of the
Kiskiminetas school, was a college mate of
Mr. Jas. R. Hughes at Princeton.
Last FripAY's BENEFIT Base BALL
GAME. —The base ball game played on the
Meadowbrook park grounds, last Friday
afternoon, between the State College re-
serves and a mixed Bellefonte team result.
ed in a victory for the former by the score
of 9 to 2, but more important than all the
neat sum of about $110 for the benefit of
the pathological department of the Belle-
fonte hospital.
The State College ’'Varsity team bad
agreed to come down but at the last mo.
ment was unable to do so aud the reserves
were sent instead. The [I (lefonte team
was made up of mostly Academy players
though for six innings Otto caught Faller
ton, the Academy pitcher, while Scott
played first and Gephart middle field. The
game was not as interesting as expected
and there was the usual after talk of unfair
decisions, pit ball and licorice, but with
all that none of the spectators begrudged
the money spent because they knew it was
going for a worthy cause.
And in this connection we might say
that those who had the benefit in charge
wish, through the columns of the WATCH-
MAN, to convey their especial thanks to the
Coleville band, who farnished their de-
lightful music free; to the Y. M. C. A. for
the loan of their chairs; to the Bellefoute
Central railroad company which transported
the College team to and from Bellefonte for
nothing as well as for their liberal excur-
sion rates; to the Brockerhoff and Bush
houses for entertaining the visiting team
free and to any and all persons who in any
way contributed to the success of the
benefit.
ALLEGED EHOOTING EPISODE. —Some
excitement was caused on Sunday evening
by a hurry call for the police, which was
followed a few minates later by James
Jodon, a young man of Coleville, making
his appearance in Bellefonte in quest of of-
ficers, stating that his younger brother,
Ollie, had shot at him three times and dis-
playing a hole in his coat under the left
sleeve which he said was made by one of
the bullets. The yoong man was very
much excited hut at the time failed to lo-
cate a policeman, and when he finally did
do so the officer declined to go to Coleville
aud investegate the affair, as it was out of
bis jurisdiction and Jodon had no warrant
for the arrest of his brother.
As near as can be gleaned the facts of
the affair are about as follows. Ollie Jodon
was walking with a young woman of Cale-
ville and in passing his brother James the
latter made some remark that angered the
former to that extent that he went home
and got his revolver and when he again
met his brother indulged in a little gun-
play. While James in his excitement Sun-
day evening showed a hole in his coat
which he averred was made by one of the
bullets, his brother Ollie declared thas he
shot in the air every time and bad no inten-
tion of doing anyone any harm. On Mon-
day James went before 'Squire Keichline,
swore out a warrant and bad his brother
arrested. He gave bail in the sam of one
thonsand dollars for a hearing on Saturday
June ist, when the true story of the affair
will likely be revealed.

This action was taken after careful con-

the principal ones being that it so greatly
interfered with the studies of the younger
pupils during the last month of school, or
else they were physically and mentally over-
taxed. Of course this does not conflict with
the regular High school commencement

CARDIDALES REGISTERED. — Last Satur-
day was the last day for the registering of
candidates to be voted for at the June
primary election and the limited number
who registered is evidence of either one of
two things. Either that there are not very
many men who aspire to the two offices to
fill in the county this year, or the people
at large have a= yes no understanding of
the new primary law and failed to com-
prebend the fact that in order to be eligible
to be voted for a man must 1egister his
name twenty days prior to the election.
While there are only three offices in the
county to fill, two of them, prothonotary
and district attorney, are fair salaried
ones, now that the office of district as
torney will pay the next incumbent a salary
of one thousand dollars a year.
Of course, in the Democratic party hotb
of the present incumbents, prothonotary A.
B. Kimport and district attorney W. Groh |
Ruukle, are entitled to renomination for a |
second term, and naturally they are the
only two Democrats registered. Bat nota
Republican registered for either office, and
this is the surprising part of it, as they are
not usually so willing to allow an office to
slip away from them without even making
an attempt to grasp it. And the only ex-
planation we can arrive at is that they all
realized the utter futility of trying to heat
two «uch good officers as Mr. Kimport and
Mr. Runkle and hence decided to save their
time, wind and money.
For the three delegates to the Republican
State convention four candidates registered:
Hard P. Harris, of Bellefonte; H. K. Hoffer,
Philipsburg; Charles A. McClure, Belle-
gonte, and W. L. Fosper, State College.
On the Democratic ticket four candidates
registered as delegates to the State conven-
tion and all are entitled to be voted for.
They are : W. B. Mingle, Centre Hall; W.
H. Fry, Ferguson township; E. A. Faulk-
ner, Philipshurg, and Charles Schad, Spring
township.
D. W. Pletcher, of Howard, registered
on the Republican ticket for county sur-
veyor and Harry Keller for chairman of
the county committee, while no Democratic
candidates registered for either office.
Courr NEXT WEEK.—The first regular |
{
term of May court will begin next Mon- |
day and will naturally be one of more than
ordinary interest. The criminal Jist is not
an exceptionally large one. Possibly the
only case of universal interest on the list is
that of the Commonwealth against Jacob
From, charged with the killing of Josiah
Dale, of Centre Hall. At this late day
there i» nothing newer in the case, #0 far as
bas been made public, than WATCHMAN
readers already know. Mr. From con-
tinues to maintain his innocence of the
crime or any knowledge in connection with
it, while the Commonwealth evidently be-
lieve they have evidence enough to connect
him with the commission of the foul deed.
One thiog is certain, however, aod that
is that so far it is a case of purely circum-
stantial evidence as there as yet has not
been brought to light anything near like
direct testimony to fasten the crime on Mr.
From or any other man. That it was a
most cowardly and dastardly deed no ove
can help but admit, and the perpetrator
deserves the full penalty of the law. The
only question at issue is to be reasonably
certain of baving the right man.
Col. E. R. Chambers was this week re-
tained by Mr. From to assist in his defense
80 that the array of legal talent who will
fight for his acquittal now includes John
M. Keichline, J. C. Meyer and Col. Cham-
bers. They feel very confident that they
will have little trouble securing dr. From’s
full and entire acquittal of vot only the
awful charge of murder bat of even any
knowledge of or complicity in the deed, as
they aver that they bave an exceptionally
strong defense.

THE LoGAN'S BENEFIT.—It is a fact
much to be regretted that the young peo-
ple of Bellefonte who worked so hard for
several weeks in practice and then gave
such a creditable performance of ‘The
Rector of St. Marks’ for two nights last
week had as their reward the meagre sum
of possibly forty-two dollars as the net re-
sults of the benefit to the Logan fire com-
pany. The young men and women em-
ployed in the cast as well as those who
took the minor parte gave a really credita-
ble performance and they were deserving
of far better patronage. And aside from
this fact the Logans were deserving of more
munificent support at the hands of the peo-
ple of Bellefonte. When there is an alarm
of fire the members of the company are al-
ways ready and willing to tarn out and
never leave their post of duty until all
danger is past, so that last week’s benefit
was a poor financial testimony on the part
of the people of Bellefonte, who should
have turned out and given them royal sup-
port.
