TER'S FORTUNE. —Oan Friday, July 5th,
Miss Imogene McMillen, the cooly sister
of Major C. G. McMillen, of Dayton,
| Obio, but formerly
ber home in Dayton. She was a woman |
of various eccentricities of character and |
this was clearly shown when her will was
read after the faoneral in which she set |
3
aside the sum of thirty cents a week for
i
| the sapport of a favored horse aud cat. |
Miss McMillen owned considerable real es- |
tate and, after making a number of small
bequests, she left the bulk of her fortune
to her brother, Major C. G. McMillen, as |
the closest sarviving relative, her family |
physician, Dr. G. W. Miller, having been
appointed administrator of the estate.
Very littie cash was found in the bak
to her credit and during she week follow- |
ing her death varions stories were told of
Lier distrust of banks while the fact leaked i
out that only recently she bad withdrawn |
five thousand dollars in gold from one of
the Dayton bauks, having carried the
money away in a tin bocket. These stories
led to a suspicion that Miss MoMillen |
must have bad money hid in or around the
house and on Friday, July 12th, just ove |
week alter ber death, the administrator of
the estate, Dr. Miller, with Major MeMil- |
len and others made a systematic search of
the house. Every room was gone over!
thoroughly, the walls sounded and the
floors examined without revealing avy se- |
cret hiding place. Finally the searching |
party went into the cellar aud after a balf |
bour’s diligent search, in which almost the |
entire ground floor bad been gone over, |
found iu one corner a glas: pot baried in
the ground which wheu brought to light
was found to be practically filled with
glittering gold pieces. When the money
was counted it was found that the vessel
cootained exactly fourteen thousand dol-
lars,
The money was at once deposited in the
bank and, with the bulk of her other prop-
erty, will be inherited by Major MeMillen,
a fact his many friends in Bellefonte are
pleased to know and on which they ex-
tend him beartiest congratulations.

IMPROVEMENTS AT GAMBLE, GHEEN &
Co's MirL.— The improvements which
have been going on at the flouring will of
Gamble, Gheen & Co., in this place, were
completed on Monday aud on Tuesday the
water was turned in the race and the mill
and wheel pit of solid concrete. Heretofore
the above were built of wood bat even by
usiog the best lamber obtainable, they
rotted in a comparatively small number of
years aud bad to be rebuilt. This time the
proprietors decided to put in concrete and
the work bas heen completed and there is
hardly any doabt hut that it will last a
lifetime, or longer.
The wheel pit bas been lowered several
feet and with the installation of new twin
turbine wheels the power of the mill has
been increased at least fifty per cent., or
soffictent to drive all the machinery in the
mill at one time and do it easily.
While the water was: out of the race con-
crete walls were pat on both sides just be-
low the trestle running from the Penneyl-
vauia railroad into the Beilefoute Fuel and
Supp!y company’s yards. These walls were
put there not so mach for the protection of
the banks on either side as they were for
the foundation walls of a building which
it is the intention to erect there atsome
fatare date.

Lors oF SUCKERS. —There are always
lot: of suckers in the world bat the suckers
we mean this time are the kind that live
in the water, and they were to be seen in
Spring creek on Souday in vast numbers.
A fall head of water had been turned in
the race for the purpose of cleaning it of
the refuse lodged therein and this left very
little coming over the breast of the dam
so that from the falls above the WATCH-
MAN office down to almost the Central Rail.
road of Pennsylvania depot the water was
unusually low and practically stagnant.
Iu the deep places opposite aud below the
Bush house the bed of the creek was literal-
ly covered with suckers with a fair sprink-
ling of trout. The former species of fish
averaged from six to ten inches with
a few that were perbaps fifteen inches
in length. The trout ran in seize all the
way from about four inches up toa foot with
several about fifteen orsixteen inches long
and one that must have been at least twen-
ty inohes in length. Quite a number of
Bellefonters as well as strangers who were
in town over Sunday took a look at the
fish and the usual crowd of small boys in-
dulged in the sport of throwing small stones
at them just to see them scatter and swim.
Monday morning the race gates were clos
ed, the water came down the creek as usual
aud the fish sooght their customary hiding
places, much to the disgust of a number of
fishermen who were early at the stream in
tbe hope of having some easy fishing.

In Cave HoMeR J. LINDSAY. — Belle.
foute has missed a number of her “favorite
sons’ this week because they are all doing
duty as soldiers of the Commonwealth in
the anuaal encampment at Camp Homer J.
Lindsay, at Tipton, Owing to the fact that
this is the first time in a vamber of years
that the camp bas heen located so near
quite a lot of Bellefonters have taken ad-
vantage of the fact to visit the soldiers. Of
course they found them just as it was ex-
pected they would, every one of them as
much a soldier as Centre countiaus always
are. Aside from that there hasjbeen noth.
ing new or unnsaal in their camp life. The
daily rontine of drills, guard moant, ete.,
have been performed with machi ne-like
precision and through it all the boys of
company B as well as the hospital corps
performed their parts nobly. With the ex-
ception of one or two cases of heat]prostra-
tion every man has so far stood the test of
camp life very well. Colonel Taylor, who
is the next youngest colonel injthejbrigade,
has received many words of praise on the
five showing of the Fifth regiment, a fact
due to his untiring energy since he wae
elected colonel only a few months ago.
The attendauce at camp has heen quite
large Ou Sunday it is estimated that faily
twenty thousand visitors were present. In
fact the crowd was so great that both the
Pennsylvania railroad and the trolley com.
pany’s facilities were congested and they
were noable to handle the people on sched.
ule time. Yesterday, Governor's day, the
crowd was also quite large hut not as big
as on Sunday. Today the soldiers will
hreak camp and most of them will have
left for their homes before evening. The
Fifth will be the last regiment to leave so
tbat company B will not reach home until
tonight.
