McCLAaiN—HOLLIDAY.— Quite preten-
tious in character, if not in size, was the
wedding on Wednesday at the bome of
Col. abd Mrs. J. L. Spangler, of their
daughter, Miss Emma Alvira Holliday and
Col. James A. McClain. The happy event
was witnessed by about one hundred and
twenty-five invited guests and the affair
proved a brilliant social fanction.
The parlors of the Spangler residence
were profusely decorated for the occasion,
the predominating colors being yellow and
white against a green background. Chrys-
anthemnms were the principal flowers used.
The ceremony, which was performed by
Rev. Father McArdle, of St. John’s Cath-
olio church, took place before a floral altar
erected in the southwest parlor. Christy
Smith's orchestra played the Mendelssohn
wedding march and the bride was given
away by Col. Spangler. The attendants
were Miss Margaret Brisbin, as bridesmaid,
and Thomas Sharbaugh, of Carroltown,
best man.
The bride was gowned in a white lace
robe trimmed in lace applique. She wore
a white lace hat with ostrich plumes and
carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses
and lilies of the valley. The bridesmaid
wore a gown of white organdie trimmed in
lace and carried a bouquet of pink chrys-
anthemums.
Following the ceremony and congratula-
tions an elaborate wedding breakfast was
served by caterer Joseph Ceader, after
which there was a regular program of mun”
sioand mirth until late in the afternoon
when Mr. and Mrs. McClain left on the
4.44 train for a wedding trip to Washing.
ton thence to Florida.
The bride is one of Bellefonte's best
kuown avd popular young ladies. She is
highly accomplished and fitted in every
way to grace the fireside as well as preside
over her husband's home. She was the
recipient of a large number of presents
which included silver, ohina, cut glass,
linen, brieabrac, ete. The hridegroom is a
pative of Bellefonte and well known all
over the State. About twenty-five years
ago he served two terms as Register of
Centre county. When the coal boom
struck Cambria county he was one of the
first to leave Bellefonte for that place and
now he is notonly interested in various
coal operations there but cashier of the
First National bank at Spangler and has a
number of other business interests in that
seotion ; and it is at Spangler they will
make their home after December first.

Reilley, of Philadelphia ; Mis. Michael

COMMISSIONER'S APPOINTMENTS. —
Woodring and Zimmerman, the two Re-
publicans elected county commissioner
last week, lost no time in making their
appointments. They held a meeting in
this place last Satarday and elected Ed-
ward R. Williams, of Unionville, as clerk ;
Clement Dale Esq., attorney, and Levi
Symmonds, of Benner township, janitor.
Mr. Williams was the only candidate for
clerk while Mr. Symmoonds bad an easy
thing in being selected as janitor. The
principal contest was on the selection of an
attorney. For this position, which pays
three hundred dollars a year, there were
six applicants, or practically every Repuab-
lican lawyer in Bellefonte, and naturally
every one of them presented a long list of
reasons why he should be appointed.
With snch a condition of affairs the com-
missioners-eleot did nothing Satnrday fore-
noon but concider the propositions of the
various candidates with the resals that all
of them were eliminated from the contest
but ex Judge Jobn G. Love and Clement
Dale Esq., and at a meeting Saturday alter
noon the latter was selected. In making
their appointments so soon after being
elected the new commissioners displayed
good common sense, inasmuch as it will
save them a lot of trouble in being wor-
ried by an army of candidates for the
varions positions ; and will also save any
would have-been aspirants from the ex-
pense and anxiety that wounld necessarily
have followed in the wake of an applica-
sion for a job. Dr. W. W. Feidt was ap.
pointed county physician.

FOREIGNERS IN TROUBLE.—On Sanday
a number of foreigners who are inmates of
a boarding house near the old glass works
went to the home of another of their coun-
trymen aod speat the most of the day
drinkiog beer. Late io the afternoon they
went to their boarding house, considerably
under the ivflaence of liquor. The resalt
was a distarbance was started which the
boarding house keeper undertook to quell
and in doing so ejected one man from the
house. His friends called up the Sheriff's
office by telephone and asked for help.
Deputy sheriff Fred Reese and policeman
Harry Dakeman wentdown. Upon their ar-
rival the only men to he found, it is al-
leged, w=se she hoarding house keeper and
another foreigner who had taken no part
in the sorap, so they a: :»sted them and put
them to jail. Ono M :aday when it was
discovered that two innocent men had been
arrested they were discharged, but were
compelled to give bail for the payments of
the costs.

Goon TELEPHONE SERVICE.—In the
rush of compiling election returns, eto.,
last week, the WATCHMAN only casually
referred to the efficient service rendered by
the Pennsylvania telephone company on
election night. That company inaugurated
a new departare on election night by un-
dertaking to furnish the election returns,
both local and national, to the public. To
do this a number of long distance tele:
phones with special wires were installed in
a namber of places in the town, one of
which was the WATCHMAN office, and the
service rendered was of the very hess. Not
only were the county returns quickly and
accurately handled but among the earliest
pews received from the State and nation
was that served by the telephone company.
And the best part of it all was that the
service was free, a fact which demonstrates
that the Pennsylvania company does all
it can to cater to the interest ol its ous-
tomers, as well as the public at large.

EpriscorAL CHURCH ALMOST COMPLET-
ED.—The repairs on St. John’s Episcopal

public worship. The pointing and replac-
ing of the broken stone in the walls were
finished last Friday and the carpenters are
now at work on the changes to be made on
the interior. These are principally around
the pulpit and are quite elaborate. A
Spauish dole will be placed in front of the
chancel as the gift of Mrs. Edward Rioh-
ard. All new windows will be put in with
the exception of the large memorial win-
dows. The doors have been changed to
open outward instead of inward, thus afford
ing a better means of egress in case of
fire. When finished the Episcopal church
will be one of the bandsomest houses of
worship iv Bellefonte.

from the international congress of agricul.
ture at Rome in time to serve in that ca-
pacity. Mr. Rbone presided at the meet-
ing of the State Grange the last time it was

lege, will be the principal speaker at the
meeting on Tuesday evening, December
Sth, when he will talk on the sabjeot,

three hundred students and friends came to
she College in a special train of seven
coaches while scores of she alumni of both

ly outclassed can easily be seen by the
score. To morrow State will play Aaoap-
alis at Annapolis.

THAT AIR LINE RAILROAD. —The corps
of engineers who bave been at work in
this part of the State for some time past,
surveyiog for that much talked of air line
railroad projected by Joseph Ramsey Jr.,
is till in Centre county, surveying in the
upper end of Pennsvalley. They have run
a number of surveys through Hallmoon
and Ferguson townships and have evidently
not yet found she route they desire. From
all indications State College seems to be an
objective point but they have so far failed
in finding a route which will take them
through that town. The last survey they
have made runs trom a point near Love-
ville through Gatesburg and the Barrens to
the grange hall at White Hall and asross to
the base of Tussey mountain a short dis-
tance west of Boalsburg, where they take
up the course of the old original survey.
This line is from one to two miles west of
State College and from four to five miles
north of Pine Grove Mills. Of course the
survey has not been determined upon, even
in the problematical stage of the road, and
it it is even built an entirely different roate
may be taken. Be that as it may, how-
ever, the presence of the engineers in the
west and southern portions of the county is
causing considerable excitement among the
farmers and others in the neighborhood in
which they are working.

will be observed next Friday, November
20th, and the celebration bids fair to rival
even the most memorable of past cccasions.
Assurances of attendance have come from a
number of prominent men of the State.
The program for the day will be arranged
with the thought of conveying to the visi-
tors some adequate conception of the daily
life of the twelve hundred students. In
addition to the public meeting and ad-
dresses in the anditoriam as well as an in-
spection of the shops, laboratories and
buildings, the regiment of college cadets
will be officially inspected and she annual
game of football will be played between
the Sophomore and Freshman teams, which
ia one of the big events in college athletics.
The Bellefonte Central railraad will ran a
special train to the College that day, leav-
ing Bellefonte at 9:35 o'clock in the morn-
ing.
~The large barn on the farm of Peter
Meyers, near Martha, and which was ten-
anted by his son, Charles Meyers, was en-
tirely destroyed by fire last Wednesday -
night. When discovered about nine
o'clock in the evening the flames had gain-
ed such headway that nothing could be
done to save the building. Mr. Meyers
and his son attempted to rescue the stock
and narrowly escaped with their own lives.
In addition to the barn three horses, three
head of beef catile,three hundred
wheat, this year's crop of bay, corn fodder,
eto., as well as all the farming implements
were burned. The total loss is oy
at about four thousand dollars on which
there is only a partial insurance. From
the barn the fire communicated to a tract
of woodland nearby and it required the
combined efforts of quite a force of men ail
next day to conquer the flames.
