——A terrific bail storm passed over the
lower end of Nittany valley Sunday even-
ing about five o'clock. The worst damage
was done in the vicinity of Nittany and
Soydertown, where small trees were twiss-
ed off, the corn and potatoes cus to shreds
and much of the small fruit knocked off the
trees.

—— Habitues of the Bush house had a
fire scare last Saturday night, or rather at
a very early hour Sunday morning. A
college student who was stopping there be-
came somewhat befuddled and could not
find bis room and in lighting matches to
see the number on his door set fire soa
curtain. The flames were easily extinguish-
ed and the young man requested to go to
another hotel where he wouldn't bave so
much trouble finding his room.
——The Fourth of July was very quiet
in Bellefonte. The picnic of the Undine fire
company at Hecla park, while being the
nearest place of amusement to spend the
day, was not as largely attended as in
formerfyears. This ~as probably because
of the faot that there was a big time at
State College and also one at Snow Shoe,
and the Bellefonte pleasure-loving contin-
gent was divided among the three places.
Bat aside from that fact many people re-
mained in Bellefonte and spent the day
quietly at bome.
——Miss Blanche R. D. Harvey, of
Williamsport, and Miss Claza F. Herrick,
of Utica, N. Y., spent last Thursday night
at the Brockerhoff house in this place. The
young women are on a roundabout tramp
from Williamsport to Utica. They left the
Lumber city on Monday of last week and
walked to Jersey Shore where they spent
the night. Tuesday night and Wednesday
forenoon were spent in Lock Haven and
Wednesday night at a farm house in Nis
tany valley. Thareday morning they
walked to the Country club where they
got their dinner and spent most of the
afternoon, coming to Bellefonte in time
for supper. Friday morning they left for
State[College and from there expected to
go down Penusvalley and north by way of
Sunbury. The girls are making their
tramp just for fun and are taking it by
easy stages. They are well sapplied with
money and enjoy all the comforts to be
obtained wherever they spend a night.
Miss Harvey, by the way, is a relative of
the Orvis’, in this place.
MULHOLLAND.—After a lingering ill
ness of from foar to five months James L.
Mulbolland, one of Bellefoute’s oldest and
moss respected citizens, died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. C. C Shuey, in this
place, at 10.15 o'clock Monday evening.
His illness dates back to lass spring when
be slipped oo the icy pavemens, fell and
sustained injories which developed an
acute attack of lumbago and kiduey trouble.
For a month or so prior to his death he
was confined to his bed.
Deceased was born at Karthaus, Clear-
field connty, Jaly 25th, 1827, hence had
he lived twelve more days he would have
been eighty-one vears of age. When a
young man he cam: to Bellefonte and
learned the trade of a machinist with the
old firm of Todd & Duncan, working
successively for them, W. P. Dancan &
Co. and Jenkins & Lingle. About fifteen
years ago advancing age compelled him to
give up work and since then he has made
his home with his daughters, Mis. Shaey,
of this place, and Mrs. Stover, in Carwens-
ville.
Mr. Mulholland was an old soldier,
having served during the Civil war. He
was a member of the Methodist church and
a faithful attendant as all simee. A quiet
and uvcstensasious man he had the highest
regard of all who koew him. His wife
died many years ago but surviving him
are the following children : W. H. Maul-
holland, of Clearfield ; Mrs. Andrew
Stover, of Carwensville; R. W., of Altoona;
Mrs. T. A. Ardelland Mrs. C. C. Shuey,
of Bellefonte, and Mrs. 8. R. Rilling, of
Altoona.

residence on High street at 2 30 o'clock on
Wednesday afsernoon. Rev, James B.
Stein, of the Methodist church, officiated
at the services and interment was made in
the Union cemetery.
SWARTZ — Quite a sudden death in
Philipsburg was that on Thursday morning
of last week when Mrs. Henry Swartz died
from a violen# attack of heart disease. She
bad been subject to attacks of the dis-
ease for some months past but she was so
well on Wednesday that not even the im-
mediate members of her family could have
foretold her illness, let alone death. She

ing and about eleven o’clock was taken
ill, dying in less than three hours.
Deceased was a native of Soyder county

five children only two survive, John and
Mrs. Edward Fish, both of Philipsburg.
Two brothers of the deceased also survive,
pamely: R. K. and C. H. Wilson, both of
Lock Haven.
Owing to the oft-expressed wi . of the
deceased that her body would nos be em-
balmed after death the funeral was held
much earlier than costomary. Services
were held as the family home on Thursday
afternoon and the »ame evening the re-
mains were taken to Hublersburg where

Some time during that night both the
above stores, which are in adjoining rooms
in Crider’s Exchange, were broken into
from the rear and robbed. About the same
time young Wolf left Bellefonte and just
what evidence the authorities have to con-

UNIFORMITY IN RAILROAD SIGNALS,
—A few weeks ago the World's Signal
company, composed principally of moneyed
men of Philipsburg and surrounding towns,
was incorporated under the laws of Dela-
ware. It is the purpose to establish a
general and uniform railway signal bausi-
ness throughout the United States and
Canada, and even extend the system into
foreign countries. The new signal system,
by the way, is the invention of J. K.
Johnston, superintendent of the Tyrone
division of the Pennsylvanis railroad, and
it is olaimed is the best signal system ever
invented. Under this system the same
semaphore indications are displayed at
night as are shown during the day, thus
simplifying the line of siguals very much.
The Philipsburg company has secured all
the rights to the Johnston invention, which
bas been patented in the United States,
Canada and foreign ccunties, and it is for
the manufacture and introduction of this
system the World Signal company has been
organized. The new company will give a
demonstration of their new system in Phil-
ipshurg in the near future at which it is
expected prominent railroad men from all
over the country will be present.

CENTRE CouNTIiANs IN Iowa HoLp
PicNic.—Members of the Keystone Club,
an organization of Pennsylvanians many of
whom were formerly Centre countians,
held their annual picnic at Union Park,
Des Moines, Iowa, on July 10th, From
our old friend, Samuel W. Baker, we
received a program and account of the
same from which we infer that the gather-
ing was a big success. Over two hundred
Pennsylvaniane were present and Governor
Cummins, who was born and raised in this
State, presided. Among the speakers was
Capt. J. W. Muffley, known to many
Centre county people, while his daughter,
Miss Millie Maflley, furnished the instru.
mental music. One incident our ocorres-
poudent notes is that an aged lady from
Sunbury who was visiting friends in that
city, prolonged her visit two weeks in
order to be present at the pionic. The
Keystone Club is an incorporated organiza-
tion of which Samuel W. Baker is secretary
and J. W. Mufiley treasurer.

CouNcIL PROCEEDINGS. —A¢ the regular
meeting of borough council last week
policeman Joseph Alters tendered bis
resignation which was promptly accepted
and Harry Dukeman was elected to take
his place.
Dr. A. W. Hater complained of the con-
dision of Reynolds avenue; especially of
the facs that every time it rained the water
from the avenne flooded bis cellar. This
was referred to the Street committee for in-
vestigation and report, and when they went
to investigate they found that Mr. Haler
bad no gutter along bis property at all.
Mr. J. C. Harper brought before council
the matter of the borough owning its own
electric light plant. He stated that with
water power available here a plant could
be run at an expenee of $1,500 a year which
would furnish all the light that could be
used, whereas it now costs the borough
from $4,500 to $4,600 a year. A commit-
tee of three was appointed to investigate
the matter and report.
Every meeting of council, almoss, there
are requests for grades for pavements, eto.,
and as the question has become one of con-
siderable bother Mr. Harper moved that
the borough engineer be empowered to
make a survey of the whole borough and
make a grade book as empowered by
ordinance. To do the work will cost from
three to four hundred dollars but it was
deemed s0 essential that the motion carried
and Mr. Wetzel is now at work on the
survey.
