—Tuaesday evening Patrick E. Carrigan’s
“great company of artists’ presented
“Saved from the Slums’’ to a partly filled
bouse at Garman’s. Wednesday Miss
Mabel Charles, the leading lady gave notice
that she was going to quit and demanded
ber pay for playing Monday and Tuesday
nights, on the basis of $25 per week. She
gave as her reason that the show was on
the bam and would go stranded in a few
days. Manager Carrigan refased to pay
her and also held her costumes and trunk,
claiming that her agreement called fora
two weeks notice in case she desired to
leave the company.
Miss Charles then went to the office of
justice of the peace W. H. Musser and
asked that he get her trunks for her by pro-
cess of law. Mr. Musser issued a writ of
trover and conversion and sent constable
Charles Eckenroth to recover the trunks,
whieh he did and took them to the squire’s
office, where Miss Charles was in waiting.
Quite naturally Mr. Carrigan also went to
Mr. Muoseer’s office and meeting Miss
Charles there the two began to vent their
personal spites avd grievances, notwith-
standing Mr. Musser's attempts to keep
peace. Finally Carrigan called Miss Charles
a name that she seemed to think did not
snit her and she told him ‘‘for two cente
she'd box his ears.” He taontingly told
her todo it when, like an euraged tigress,
she ran across the room and with her open
bands slapped him in the face until he
called for help and Musser and Eckenroth
| had to intervene.
Carrigan then left Musser’s office and
going to "Squire John M. Keichline swore
out a warrant for fair Mabel’s arrest on the
charge of assanlt and battery. She was
arrested, taken to the squire’s office and
given an immediate hearing, both squire
Masser and constable Eckenroth being
summoned as chief witnesses. Keichline
held the woman in five hundred dollars
bail for ber appearance at court and not
being able to furnish the amount at once
she was sent to jail. There she remained
until four o'clock in the afternoon when
the hearing in Mr. Musser’s office was book-
ed to take place. and constable Eckenroth
went to the jail and escorted her down. At
that hearing Carrigan refused to pay the
woman's salary due, or even pay the costs,
80 eguire Musser entered judgment against
bim. In order to keep the woman out of
jail Mr. Musser and Ben Bervard, who was
with the show as door-keeper went on the
woman's bond, and Mr. Musser stated that
the woman was all tight, that he knew her
personally and knew her mother before her.
The sequel to the above wrangle, it is
alleged, can be told in one word—jealousy.
Mauvager Carrigan is alleged to be in love
with Miss Charles and she would bave
nothing to do with him but lavished ber
attentions on Ben Bernard, the door keeper,
who claims te be at th: head of the De.
Cordova Amusement Co., of New Yoik.
Maddened by this etate of affairs, it is
olaimed, Carrigan Wednesday morning die-
charged Bernard on the plea that he was
dishonest, and this is what brought about
the resignation of his leading lady and the
thrilling climax which followed. And the
two fond hearts won out and left Belle-
fonte together on the B:16 train Wednesday
evening, so that there was no show that
evening and the only ‘Reflections from the
Hearth’ mavager Carrigan got were those
he bad in the solitude of his own room. In
the meantime the manager has sent away
for a new star and expects to have every-
thing in shape to give a performance to-
morrow evening with an afternoon matinee,
when “‘Saved from the Slams” will again
be in order.
REV. Jon HEWITT GIVEN A CALL. —It
| baviog come to the knowledge of the con-
gregation of St. John’s Episcopal church in
this place that the Rev. John Hewist, of
Columbus, Ohio, who was pastor of the
church bere twenty-five years ago, would
very likely accept a call to again become
pastor bere a call has been extended to him.
| Rev. Hewitt ia now pastor of one of the
| biggest churches in Columbus and draw-
ing a large salary. But his family are all
grown up and his hove all have very re-
| munerative positions so that he and Mre.
Hewitt are all alone. And it has long, been
the wish of both of them to return to Peun-
sylvania and agaiu become a member of
this diocese. Iu fact, it is stated that he
expressed himself as not only willingjibus
rather desirous of returning to Bellefou te.
Consequently, on the strength ota pesi-
tion signed by almost every member of the
congregation, the vestry met on Monday
evening and prepared a formal call which
was sent to Bishop Darlicgton who, if he
approves the same, will forward it tothe
Bishop of the Ohio diocese and through
him the paper will he presented to Rev.
Hewitt. That be will accept the call is
the hope of every member of the Episcopal
church, as well a8 many others who made
the acquaintance of the reverend gentleman
and his family when they formerly lived
here and for whom they have always had
the very highest respeot.

JAKE FroM IN MoRE TROUBLE.—Jacob
From, of Centre Hall, the man who a year
ago figured so conspicuously in the Dale
marder case and who two months ago was
caught stealing corn from the field of James
Stahl, bas heaped more trouble on his
shoulders by stealing ohickens from Mrs.
Charles MoClenahan.
The pilfering of Mrs. McClenahan’s hen
roosts occurred on the night of November
15¢h. Mr. McClenahan is a keeper for the
Spruce Run Park association on the Alle-
gheny mountains and of course was away
from home at the time. The MeClenaban
fowls were not locked up, some of them
roosting in the hen house and some ona
nearby tree. On the night in question Mrs.
MoClenaban heard a big commotion among
her chickens and on looking out of the win-
dow she coanld plainly see a man very
deliberately stealing the chickens from
their roosting places. She was alone at the
time and quite naturally was too much
frightened to make any outory or attempt
to drive the man away. As it was a bright
moonlight night she simply waited until
the wan, with his hands full of chickens,
started for home when she easily reocog- |
nized him as Jake From.
The next morning Mrs. MeClenaban
swore out a warrant for From’s arrest on
the obarge of stealing her chickens aud at
a bearing belore justice of the peace W. B.
Mingle he was held in five hundred dol-
lars bail for his appearance at court. The
MecClenaban home is at the foot of Nittany
mountain, only ahcut one hundred rods
from the From home, and the latter evi.
dently thought be would have an easy
thing making a transfer of the chickens,
kvowing that Mr. MoClenaban was away
from home.
When From appeared in court here on
Monday, therefore, it was with two charges
of theft hanging over him. When the case
against him for stealing corn from James
Stahl was presented to the grand jury for
consideration he waived a hearing and plead
guilty, probably in the hope that by so do-
ing the court would be lenient in pronounc-
ing sentence.
On Wednesday the case against him for
stealing the chickens was taken up. The
grand jury returned a trae bill and From
entered a plea of ‘‘not guilty.” He was
pat on trial and Mrs. McClenahan testified
that he was the man she saw stealing her
chickens. From produced several wit-
nesses who testified that the night in ques-
tion be was at a farm house south of Oid
Fort. The jury, however, returued a ver-
dios of guilty.
From was sentenced to the western peni-
tentiary for 1 year and 4 months in the
Stabl case. Sentence in the chicken steal-
ing case was suspended.

KiLLep IN LoulsiaANA WHILE HUNT-
ING. —Edward Tibbens Johnson, formerly
of Beech Creek and well known through-
oat lower Bald Eagle valley, but who of
late has been one of the men in charge of
the Merrill Lumber company’s operations
at Ticfaw, La., was accidentally shot by a
fellow huuter, last Friday, and died a lew
mivnates later. Johnson, who was about
thirty two years of age, had been in the
south about three years. Ooe of the warm-
est friends he had in that section was Dr.
Banghart. Last Friday the two men went
out gunning for birds and as Johnson wae
the better shot of the two he told the dootor
to take firat shot at any birds raised and if
he missed them he would try his lack, They
bad not been long ont when their dog raised
two birds at once. Doctor Banghart threw
up his guo and joss as he did so Johnson
stepped in range to get a shot at the second
bird and received the fall load of shot in
bis side.
With an incoherent exclamation he
fell to the gronnd and expired in less than
a half hour. The unforiuvate young man
was a son of Mr. and Mrs William Jobn-
son, of Dents Ran. who survive him with
two brothers, two sisters and a young wile
to whom he was married less than a yenr
ago. Tbe remains were taken to Beech
Creek where burial was made on Wednes-
day afternoon.

mittees wae nothing of any importance.
Under the bead of new business the
Street committee recommended that a
crossing be laid on south Water street in
the vicinity of the steam laundry ; that the
eireet from the Bush Arcade south be re-
paired with a good covering of crushed
limestone and that property owners be di-
rected to put down a pavement or board-
walk along the east side of the street from
the Bush Arcade to the W. T. Speer prop-
erties. Council approved the above reo-
ommendations and made the time limit for
putting down the pavements fifteen days.
The Water committee reported that the
boilers at the water works bad been in-
spected on November 28th and found in
good condition.

running at large in Bellefonte on which
taxes bave not been paid and which wear
vo collar or tab. The matter is being held
under consideration to see what can be
done to enforce the law.
