Were BELLEFONTE MERCHANTS
BTuxe ?—Tuesday evening two well dress.
ed and very centlemanly appearing men
arrived in Bellefonte and registered at the
Brockerhoff house for the night. They
gave the nawes of A. J. Limeberner and
C. W. Dickenshied, hoth of Philadelphia.
Dutiog the evening they let the fact be
known that they were traveling in the in-
terest of a movement to have the mercantile
tax law repealed. Mr. Dickenshied ap-
peared to be the spokesman for she two
and be had a line of talk that would catoh
the most wary.
He started out by stating thas the total
amount of mercantile tax collected in the
State of Pennsylvania was almoss one and
a quarter million dollars ; but by the time
the appraivers were paid, the advertising,
the commissions on collecting, eto., and
various other expenses in connection there
with only about swenty thousand dollars
were left to tarn into the state treasary.
Of conrse it was described as being the
most pernicious piece of graft of any law on
the statute books.
They farther stated that a movement
bad been started in Philadelphia to have
the law repealed and the only way todo it
was hy concerted action of the merchants of
the State. Consequently an organization
had heen perfected which was knowu as
The Business Association of Pennsylvania.
of which Dickenshied was vice president,
the ohjeot of which was to prepare petitions
aod have them sigoed by the merchants
throughout the State, which would be pre-
sented to the nexs session of the Legislature
asking for the repeal of the law. And she
only way to bring the master properly to
the merchants was to present is to them
personally, and that was the reason they
were traveling. Their business card gave
their main office as being in the Weighs.
wan boilding, Philadelphia.
Wednesday morning the two men were
up bright and early and started in to work
the town. They are wise in their business
for the first firm visited was one of the
most prominent in Bellefonte. The men
stated their business as given ahove and
asked the proprietor if he objected to sigo-
ing their petition, on which they claimed
they already had over twenty-three thous-
and names. Naturally the merchant was
only too willing to put his name to any
petition thas promised him relief from such
a burdeu of pernicions taxation and he
signed the paper promptly. Then came
the eye-opener.
After the merchant had signed the peti
| tion and been politely thanked for his will-
inguess to help along the good canse he was
very politely told that of conrse there was
considerable expense entailed iu making
the canvass and in getting the matter in
shape to present to the Legislature and for
thie purpose a fund was being raised by the
voluntary contributions of she merchants
who bad signed the petition. Of course,
they stated, it was not obligatory on any-
one contributing anything if they did not
see fit to do so, and this plausible argument
bad the desired effect and the merchant
most always paid.
The two men worked Bellefonte Wednes-
day morning mavaging to see most every
merchant in town aud not only got their
signature hut contributions from each in
soms ravging from two to five dollars.
They left that same day on one of the noon
trains and then the merchants began to get
awake. The more they thought about it
the more they were couvinoed that they
bad been stung good and proper and that
there was nothing booafide in the proposi-
tion. They made inquiries for the two
gentleman, bat found they had lefs the
town quite snddenly and then they sought
their attorneys and the aberiff. Bus neither
of the latter could understand where the
merchants had any chance to recover and
consequently shey are wondering just what
they were up against,
It is variously stated that the men ocol-
lected anywhere from two to three hun-
dred dollars for their morning’s work in
Bellefonte, though the amount is hardly
that large. Whether genaine or a swindle
their scheme is a slick one for parting the
merchant from his dollars. One fact thas
makes it look u little suspicious is that the
same night the two men were in Bellefonte
another gentleman from Philadelphia was
here, and he at the time told some things
that were not exaotly bubbling with over-
confidence in the scheme. But whether a
genuine or a swindle the Bellefonte mer-
chants feel that they were taken in good
and proper.
Dickenshied, by the way, olaims to be an
old newspaper reporter and to have worked
oo all the leading newspapers in Philadel.
phia at one time or another, and one piece
of evidence that the whole thing is a frand
is the fact that when paid money he always
gave a receipt and these he signed “'E. B.
Sterlivg,” although otherwise he traveled
under the name Dickenshied.
From here the wo men went to Tyrone
where they worked the gullible merchants
with the same facility they did bere then
left for other places further west in she
State.

FINED FOR ILLEGAL FISHING. —George
Gill, of Julian, was given a hearing before
justice of the peace John M. Keichline, on
Monday, on the charge of illegal fishing
and was fined twenty-five dollars and
costs. The case is a peounliar one all
throngh and by all moral rights ought
never to have been prosecnted. From the
evidence at she hearing, given by such
reputable men as Howard Holzworth and
others, it developed thas Mr. Gill bas a
dangbter who is eritioally ill with con-
sumption. She has very little appetite
and her ove craving is for fish. As the
time of the high water in the Bald Eagle
creek a month or more ago the stream
overflowed and quite a number of fish were
washed out of the stream. After the water
had subsided Mr. Gill was going acroes a
field and came © a small pool of water,
several hundred feet away from the creek,
in whiob he espied a pike.
Realizing tbat it would bea question
of a day or two until the water would dry
np and the fish would be left flonndering
on dry land with no possibility of getting
back into the oreek, and knowing the
craving his daughter bad for fish he caught
the pike with his hands and sent it to her.
Game warden Shannon, of Tyrone, hearing
of the incident, bad Gill arrested last week
even though he had been told all the facts
in the case. At the hearing Gill admitted
takiog the pike and told the story substan-
tially as related above. Of course there
was nothing for the justice so do but im-
pose the fine as presoribed by law.
Bat it seems to us that this is more of a
case of persecution than prosecntion and
game warden Shaunon has not gained any
popularity in Centre counsy by his action,
according to the oriticisms of everybody
who kuows of the case.
AcADEMY MINSTRELS TONIGHT --The
