The Street committee reported the Bishop street sewer completed and that work has been resumed on the Howard sireet sewer. The Market committee tarned in $2 40 markets fees. The Fireand Police committee reported that recently a mao wade his escape from the new steel cell io the lockup, bus the authorities got even with him for daring to do such & thing by re-arrestiog him and baviog him heavily fined by the burgess. Complaint was made about the condi tion of the pavement infront of 8. D. Ray's property on sonth Water street and the clerk was instructed to notify him to bave same repaired. Residents of Petriken ball complained abouts members of sue Bellefonte club burning rubbish in the rear of their house on Spring strees, on the grounds that it was daugerous. The Nai- sauce committee was instructed to investi- gate the case aod if the pracsioe is carried on to suck an extent as to be deemed a nuisance to notily the club to abate it. Piobably the most interesting work of council was its action on the Pruner orphanage question. Is will be recalled that the last ordinance passed by council in favor of accepting the bequest of she late Col. E. J. Pruaver for she establishing of an orphasage, was vetoed by burgess John L Curtin. The question was called up on Monday eveniug by Dr. Kirk making a motion that the ordinance be passed over the burgess’ veso. The motion was seo ud- ed by Mr. Shuey and in putting is before council chairman Harry Keller stated thas be did not believe she action legal. The ordinance was passed, however, by avote of 6102, aud thas the question is disposed of. And now we trust that the action of council in passing she Praner orphanage over the Mayor's veto will prove a source of much . graufication to the gentlemes who were 80 deeply interested in bringing about that result. There can be no doubt of it, since some of them went so far as to write most scarrilous letters to promiuent people of the town who held opposite views on the question and then were too cowardly to sign their own names, but uot clever enough to escape leaving ear marks that bave since revealed their iden- tity. As yer we have found no one who opposed the orphanage proposition for personal reasons while candor [forces to state that so far as several members of the council are concerned their own state ments convict them of being for is because of purely personal reasons. It is rumored that two others were very assiduous in se- curing the orphanage because they bave caudidates for matron whom they bope to land in that position. If this is true there is this extenvating cironmstance to excase men who would lend themselves to a caw- paign of anonymoas letters under the guise of pre-eminent purity aud in the face of a majority of the taxable property iu the town, The WATCHMAN never was opposed to the orphavage for any other reason than is did not believe is needful to any condition in Bellefonte. On the other hand jt does believe that the money which could have been secured would have dove a greater good through the hospital. Bat since we are © have the orphanage we trust that a field will open up in which it may be able to prove itself a great agency for good. The following bills were approved and oiders drawn : Street pay roll. WiLL Meer IN BELLEFONTE NEXT YEAR.—At the twenty-sixth annnal re. anion of the Forty-ninth regiment Penna.

Pressed brignettes, by the way, are manufactured out of the screenings of roft coal, culm from the anthracite mines and lignite, the latter being secured from the vast heds of that mineral in Oregon. The company gave a recent test in Altoona which was eaid to be very satisfactory. ——Though the Bellefonte Academy foot ball team may not he winning games by very big scores, they are making a record they can be proud of.

Last Sasarday the strong Dickinson Seminary eleven came to Belle: foute and played the Academy on the glass works meadow grounds and although the visitors outweighed the Bellifonters the latter played them to a standstill, the score being 6 to 6. Today the Academy team will leave for Saltshurg where they will play Kiskiminetas tomorrow and on Monday will the Iudiava Norwal school team at Indiana. May they come home with two scalps haugiog at sheir belts. REUNION oF FIrsT DEFENDERS. — The annoal reunion of the Seventh Pennsyl- vania infantry, better known as the ** First Defenders,” was held at Roalsburg last Saturday and never was there a more suoc- ces~ful gathering of thie small band of veterans than on that occasion. The day was an ideal one and the big-hearted, open- bavded hospitalisy of the people of Boals- burg could nos help but make the gather. ing anything (hav a most pleasant ove. The entertainment committee were lavish iu their preparations for the entertainment of the soldiers. All told there were some sixty comrades present but of this number only thirteen iepresented the 108 men com posiug company H, who lefs Boalsburg forty-six years ago. They were Col. C. L.

There they were received by a large gathering of citizens of Boals- burg who welcomed them hy singing *Columbia.”’ Comrade Hook,of Boalshury, presided and introduced Col.

Dinner was served to the rest of the old soldiers present at the school house. Aud just here we want to men- tion that they all got more than they could eat. Mrs. Amanda Fisher was chairman of the committee of ladies who served the dinner and so liberal were they in pre- paring good things that they oonld have fed double the crowd present. In the afternoon another meeting was held at which Miss Maigares Goheen sang ‘* Have You Gos the Coantersign,” while speeches were made by Armstrong Jacobs Col. Greenough aud a dozen others. Seven little school girls sang ** Beautifal Flag of the Brave,” while she meeting closed with the entire assemblage singing ‘* When the Roll is Called Up Yonder." > - SEVENTH CAVALRY REUNION. — Al. most one hundred members of the Seventh Peousylvania Cavalry association were in Bellefoute this week to attend the nnaual reunion of their organization which was beld on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Of course they were heartily received by vice president J. P. Welsh and the heads of the varions de- partments, a< well as that staid old veter- an, Capt. W. C. Patterson, and the day proved all too short for everyhody. Tuesday evening an informal camp fire was beld in the rooms of Gregg Post. Capt.

Masser, John Noll and Capt. Oe. Of comise the even- ing was spent very pleasantly, as there is nothing av old soldier so much enjoys as to interchange notes of that four long years of struggle, unless it is a good dinner, The busine«s meeting of the association was held on Wednesday morning in the post rooms, and the following officials were elected for the ensuing year: President, Wm. Berbeck, Co. C, East Shore, Bradlord county ; vice presidents, U. N. Sonsberg- er, Co. E, Williamsport ; J. H. Snyder, Co. L, Port Royal ; G. W. Democh, Co. B, Williamsport ; Charles Biicker,Co.

ED CHAPEL —Sanday will be a memorable day for the congregation of 8t. John's Re- formed charch as at that time they dedi- cated their hardsome new chapel on #piing street. The dedicatory sermon was preach- ed in the church at 10:30 o'clock in the morning by Rev. Thomas L. Bickle, of Philadelphia, a former pastor. Following the sermon the pastor, Rev. Ambrose M. Schmidt, announced the faot that a new hrass eagle lecturn had been presented to the church hy Mrs. Chestie A. Harper, in memory of her bushand, the late William Harper, which was daly oon - secrated. Jared Harper, the church treas- urer, announced that the new obapel had been built and fornished at a cost of $6,500, which with a nomber of improve- ments to the church, made the total in- debtedness $6 800. Of this amount the congregation bad paid the sum of $4,650, leaving a balance of $2 150 to be provided for. To help make up this sum suhsorip. tions and pledges to the amount of $1,700 were pledged by the congregation, the bal- ance being assumed by the consistory. The debt being fully provided for she congre- gation proceeded to she chapel and the new house of worship was formally dedicated to the service of God. Rev. Bickle again preached in the eve- ning at which time the collection lifted totaled $138. The new chapel is built of vative sandstone with brown stone trim. mings. It is 47x45 feet in size. The first floor is divided into a main auditorium, three olass rooms and a working room for the Ladies Aid society. A spacious gallery surrounds two sides of the chapel and his will be divided into olass rooms. The windows are of handsome stained glass, those on the first floor being memorial windows given hy various members of the oharch. The interior is finished in South Carolina pine and oak. Too much oredit cannot be given the Ladies Aid society for the building of the chapel. They not only contributed two thousand dollars toward the building of the chapel but also furnished the carpet which covers the floor.
