It appears that on Tuesday morning a man who said he was a postofiice inspector arrived in Howard and informed the post. master that two professional oracksmen had been traced to Howard or vicinity and shat is very likely was their intention to rob the postoffice that night. Later in the day Seven strange men also arrived in Howard who stated that they were United States marshals and were also on she srail of she two postoffice robbers. All the govern- ment officials advised the postmaster nos to leave any money or stamps in the post- office that night and to see that she place was well protected against burglars, The officers also visited the First National bank, of Howard, and informed cashier Masthew Rogers of the circumstance, ad- vising him to keep a goard in the bank durivg the night, and thas be or any other of the bank officials should not go near she building after dark, less they he mistaken for the burglais and probably be shot. All these precantions having been taken the officials were lying low ready to hag their qaarry when shortly after dark livery- man Joseph H. Daunkle discovered that one of bis fastest horses as well asa buguy and baruness had been stolen. The alarm was given and word telephoned in every direction but no trace of auyone could he found aotil the next morning when the horse and rig were tound on the road near Beech Creek. If the men were professional oracksmen they evidently were smart enongh to spot the government officiale and stealing the horse and rig drove 10 Beech Creek aud got ont of the country on the first train passing thas station, and before any alarm bad been given. PA rmem—— ANENT THE BELLEFONTE Swixg Fac. TORY. —Two weeks ago executions were issaed against the Bellefonte Swing com. pzoy and their plant and property in this place was advertised to be eold as consta- bles eale last Satarday. Such a condition was precipitated by the sadden’death of the late Thomas J. Sexton, who had prac- tically been the head of the firm for some months past and because of the lack of a proper clerical force had not kept the hooks aud affairs of the company eisher ap-to- date or in a thorongh bosiness.like way. Not wanting their property or their husiness sacrificed the surviving members of the firm interested outside hosivess men in the matter with the resalt that au amicable arrangement was made whereby the coredi- tors consented to the appointment of a re- ceiver for the property, aud accordingly the court on Monday appointed Mr. Claude Cook as receiver, Mr. Cook has heen endeavoring this week to straighten out the tangled affairs of the company bat so far has made so little pro- gress that is is impossible to tell what the outcome will be. The company has a big plant with a lot of valaahle machinery and it it can be avoided the same should not he sacrificed. They have weveral orders on their books and it is the desire of the re- ceiver to fill these as soon as possible, with the sanction of the court. In the mean time Mr. Cook will endeavor to get some line on the company’s affairs so that if the final showing warrants it, the plant can either be operated by the old company or disposed of to advantage to sowe one who may wish to conduct the business. > AUTOMATIC VENTILATORS, ETC. — It may not be generally known bat it iss fact, nevertheless, that whas it is believed will prove one of the bess automatio ventil- ators ever patented or manufactured is the invention of oor townsman, Robert F. Hunter. Mr. Hunter spent months on working oat the problem of an antomatio, sell regalativg veutilator and then bad enough of them manafactured to show what they are compared with other anto- matic ventilators on the market. They are not only simpler in construction but more effective as a ventilator and can be manu- factared to sell at a much cheaper price than other ventilators, His invention haviog been broaght to the attention of capitalists in Williamspors a company was formed and a plant estab- lished at Jersey Shore which will make a specialty of manufacturing Mr. Hunter's ventilator as well as a number of other de- vices he has patented. For she present the company will mannfactnre and sell them on a royalty with ae opiion good for two years to purchase the same outright for the sum of five thousand dollars. This price, of course, includes only the patent to the ventilator aud not thas of any of Mr. Hunter's other patents. ———— FIRE Ar VALLEY View. —Early yester- day morniug fire broke out in the building occupied by A. I. Garbriok at Valley View, in Buffalo Ran valley, as a store and not having any fire protection the bailding and entire contents, together with an adjoining stahle were entirely destroved.

The loss to Mr. Gar- brick was quite heavy, although he had his stock and buildings partiatly insured. Mr. Walker had a little insurance on his faraiture bat Mr. Imel bad none.

The young people then faced a predicament they bad uot anticipated aud finally justice of the peace John M. Keichline was appealed to and, with a pamphlet of the marriage li- cense law, he convinced the clergyman that it was Dot necessary to bave as witnesses persons acquainted with the parties in issne. That the fact that a marriage license had been issued to them was evidence that they were entitled to marry, and then the noptial kpot was tied to the great relief aud bappiness of the yoany couple. They remaived over night at the Brookerhoff hone, leaving for their home in Clinton county yesterday morning. etree ltt eee rane Dean INTERFERED wiTH HoNEY- 3M00N.—Last Thorsday morning Charles Welsh, a son of Zaria 8.

Though the body was not matilated it is supposed that the man met his death by beiug strack by a train. The only mark of identification was a package lying alongside of the body on which was written in pencil the address, Patrick Henosil, Roaring Spring.
