WiLL PROBABLY BE RELEASED. — Ia
last week's WATCHMAN was published an
account of G. Melvin Nearhood, a bride-
groom of two weeks, attempting to raise
funds with which to purchase furniture to
£0 to housekeeping at Hannah Farnace by
forging a check for $450 and trying to pass
the same on an Altoona firm. Since the
identity of the young man became known
his father, J. B. Nearhood,of Spruce Creek,
has been in Altoona interceding in his be-
half and the probabilities are thas the case
against young Nearhood will not be prose-
cated eitber hy the City Farniture com-
pany, which he attempted to swindle, or
William Zeigler, proprietor of the Alta.
mont hotel, Altoona, whose name he forged
to the check.
According to all reports young Nearhood
has heretofore led a very conscientious and
npright life, and was always regarded asa
hardworking, honest young man. His par-
ents are among the best known and highly
respected by Sprace Creek and he has a
number of well-to do relatives in Centre
and Blair counties. His trouble started, it
appears, when he arrived in Tyrone upon
his return from hie wedding trip. There
he got mixed up with a number of yoong
men whose capacity to drink liguor was
their hest recommendation and in attemps-
ing to keep pace with them Nearhood he-
came intoxicated. And he claims it was
while in that condition, and in practical
igroiance of what he was doing that he
forged the check and attempted to pass it.
In view of the above extenuating ecir-
cumstances the parties most interested ex-
pressed themselves as not averse to a settle-
ment of the case, which will probably he
the result, if it bas notalready taken place,
and the young men released from custody
upon the payment of the costs,

—— Beginning on or about the first of the
year the Pennsylvania telephone company
inaugurated the system of gharging five
cents to all’ persons using a telephone booth
whether it he at a pay station, in a hotel
or the public booth at the exchange. The
system, of course, is all right so far as non-
subsoribers are concerned but it seems
almost an imposition to charge subscribers;
as frequently a booth is the most accessible
phone they may have when away “from
home ; and it is almost a travesty on good
service to compe! a subscriber to go into
another man’s place of business to tele-
phone to his own home, pay a nickle to
talk from a public booth or else waik home
and tell it and not have the use of the
phoae service for which he pays a montbly
rental. Up lo thie time the United Amer-
ican telephone company bas not promal-
gated any such ruling or adopted the
nickle-in-the slot system.

~——In the old days of primitive rail
roading it was not an uncommon thing to
lose a car or two or even an entire train
but with the present day up-to-date meth-
ods it would seem almost an impossibility
to lose a train aud yet, literally epeaking,
that is just what happened on the Baid
Eagle Valley railroad on Thursday morn-
ing of last week. Mail train east, which
leaves Bellefonte at 9:32 a. m., passed
tiqrongh Beech Creek on time at 10:08 after
which it was practically lost to the officials
and operating force of the railroad for an
hour and a balf. When two miles esst of
Beech Creek one of the driving rods cn the
engine broke causiog the cylinder head to
blow ont. Sapposing he would be able to
ran into Lock Haven ‘‘on one side’ the
engineer disconnected the broken side but
when he same to stare his engine is wouldn't
start and no amount of ‘‘coaxing’”’ would
make it run. In the meantime over an
hour had elapsed and the only thing to do
then was to send a brakeman to the Mill
Hall tower and telegraph for another
engine, so that it was one o'clock when the
train finally reached Lock Haven.

the fact of Philip Beezer celebrating bis
birthday by eotertaining his boarders and
friends at a big dioner on December 27th
and at the time referred to the fact tbat
the ladies present thought him younger
looking than some of the other gentlemen
gathered around the table. Since that,
however, the fact has leaked out that nos
one of that list of eligible widower and
bachelors, such as Billy Runkle, batt
Dooley and Mr. McAvoy, were excepted as
being younger looking or handsomer than
Mr. Beezer. And the ladies present at the
divuoer are considered good judges too.

~~ With the new year a vomber of
Bellefonte landlords gave notice of aun in-
crease in rents for the ensuing year, giving
as a reason for the increase the advance in
price of everything else. While it is trae
that there has been an advance in the price
of almost every commodity, it is also trae
that such advance falls just as heavily on
the renter as itdoes on the landlord ; while
the former has not had the benefit of any
increase in his wages. Every spring there
is an advance in rent ery in Bellefonte and
it is the one thing more than another that
prevents the coming here and locating of
pew industries, eto.

——The blowing of the fire alarm on
Taesday morning caused considerable ap-
prehension as a high wind was blowing at
the time and a fire, once rightly started,
would have been hard to overcome. For-
tavately it proved to be ouly a burning
chimney ou the honse occupied by a Mr.
George Wian and family near the old glass
works site and it oon burned itselt out.
Both fire companies responded very
promptly and had there been need of their
services would bave been on the ground in
very good time.
