Ordi- narily Marels is the month of storms, rain, high winds and the varions ‘kinds of dis- agreeable weather, hat this year this month of terrors was exoeptionally mild, even toa number of thander storms. This mouth, bowever, we are having the oold, storms and high winds generally prevailing in March and the question naturally arises, are the seasons changing? Is winter being shoved farther into the lap of spring and will the time come when the boys will go snowballing on she Fourth of July and we will all celebrate Christmas in the summer time ? It such is the cace in a thousand years or so we will be compelled to bave a board of revision for the almanac as well as the calendar year. ——The ‘‘contrariwiseness’’ of an anto- mobile kas 15h yet been tully accounted for. Sometimes they ran very smoothly ; sometimes they act like a bucking hroncho; sometimes they won’s go a all, and then sometimes they go when you don’s expeos or even want them to go. The latter was the case with Dr. Kilpatrick’s Franklin ranabout on Monday morning. The ma- chine was standing in front of Temple Court with the steering gear turned to- wards the street. A bard gust of wind came along and striking the top of the machine amidsheets started it on a journey across the street where it ran into Col. Coburn’s buggy, breaking a wheel and frightening the horse so shat it ran away. Fortunately nobody was hurt and no farther damage was done. Robert F, Hun. ter’s machine out a similar caper last week but did no farther damage than to buts into a telephone pole. Two STORES RANSACKED BY ROBBERS. —Robbers again manifested their presence in Bellefonte on Monday night when they effected an entrance into both Mouotgomery & Co's. clothing and gens tarnishing store and W. 8. Zeller’s drug store and ransacked both places. They got in by breaking the glass in the rear doors which open oo an area-way between Crider’s Ex- change and Crider’s building. Just what the robbers were alter is hard to determine from what they took and what they didn’s take. In breaking the glass in she door leading into Montgomery's store one of the roh“ers evidently out his hand or arm as there was blood on the door knoh. on the floor, counters and clothing. The only thing missed from the store was one suit of clothes, a rain coat and & suit case. From the drawer of the cutting table the thieves secured a big pair of woissors and with these badly mutilated the valuable cash register recently installed hy the firm, and that notwithstanding the fact that every drawer in the register was anlocked and standing open. No attempt was made to blow the safe, so far as conid be seen. Iu Zellers drug store the robbers took | several handfuls of cigars from the cave but vo boxes, fooled around among the fishing tackle bat so far as could be dis- cerned did not take any. There was a money drawer in the store sanding open | in which were a namber of nickles, but | these were undistarbed. The only things | taken tn addition to oigars were three dishes of ice cream. Whether this is an indica- tion there were three robhers or thas if only one man did the joh he was so fasti- dious that he could not eat ice oream ous of a once-used dish, of course cannot be told. Whoever the party or parties were, how- ever, one thing is certain, they either live in Bellefonte or else had been here long enough to ges very well acquainted. They not only knew the most vainerable point of entrance to the stores but they also knew that Clande Smith lived on the third floor of the Exchange. The men had some- where stepped in soapstone or some white sabstacce and their tracks were not only traceable all through the two stores bat up the two flights of stairs into the Ex- ohange and close to Smish’s door, where they had evidently gone to see if he were awake or in bed asleep. While so far there is no trace of the robbers the police aathorities feel confident they will be ahle to catch them, as from the amount of blood in Montgomery's store one of them muss have a pretty badly cut hand. mis PINE GROVE ODD FerLrows Have Bie TIME. —Last Saturday evening was a momentous event in the history of the Peousvalley Lodge, No. 276, I. 0. O. PF. of Pine Grove Mills, as it not only marked thejinstallation of officers for the ensuing year but was made she ocoasion of the burning of a five year mortgage on their property.
