Spring sills
On Thursday and Saturday evenings dur-
ing the last month, C. P. Loug has been hav.
ing auction to remove some of bis surplus
stock.
-
April fooling was quite limited here on
the Ist inst. It must have heen forgotten by
the boys, or possibly they have golten over
the nonsense.
Rev. J. Max Lantz has been returned to
the Pennsvalley charge to the delight of his
congregation. During the past year the rev.
erend gentleman has made many friends and
become quite popular.
Our merchants report & fair business dur-
ing the month of March; commercial agents
stopping off here say that traffic on the road
is entirely too conservative for their pocket
books. When it costs six dollars to sell five
they think it about time to take a halt.
The next move will be to move to the
garden for digging purposes. Some little
garden has been made already for onions, to
be in time for the owion snow. However,
the weather has been a little off for much
garden work. There is plenty of time yet.
Quite a number of our people are caught
with empty ice houses. They waited too
long for the granite like crop. Among the
delinquents was the hotel, but the landlord
succeeded in purchasing a stock in Rebers.
burg and had it hauled here and packed in
his ice house.
The little folks are making large calcula
tions on Easter eggs. At most any time now
a half dozen or more can be seen looking at
the sugar eggs displayed in the store win.
dows and telling each other hew many they
expect, and then their eyes assume the di
mensions of a silver dollar.
Dr. Gentzel, veterinary surgeon of our
town, reports considerable sickness among
horses and cows and he is kept very busy.
He says there is no particular ailment, only
a tired condition with a slight fever which
yields very readily to proper treatment. But
the doctor remarked that only about half
the animals receive the care and attention
they should, hence the ‘played out” condi.
tion.
A Temple—Ladies of the Golden Eagle,
auxiliary to the K. G. E., organized here a
few weeks since, was instituted and the offi
cers installed by the grand officers on Tues.
day evening last. They had fifty-five char.
ter members, which is certainly a very good
commencement. A dozen or fifteen Sir
Kuights witnessed the ceremony which
proved highly interesting. The grand offi-
cers from Bellefonte arrived here in ear-
ringes late in the afternoon and were imwme-
diately taken to the hotel. After a rest and
partaking of a sumptuous supper especially
prepared by landlord Wood they were es.
+ corted to the hall of the K. G E. to dis
charge the duties which occasioned their
journey here. At the close of the session
quite an elaborate lunch was served. After
assuring the members of the Temple that it
bad been a great pleasure to participate in
the proceedings of the evening and wishing
them every success, about midnight the
grand officers departed for Bellefonte.

Flames at Fort Worth, Texas, Destroy
300 Dwellings, Three Churches and
Several Warehouses and Business
Places — Twenty Locomotives and
Many Box Cars Also Burned.
To boys and a carelessly thrown
cigarette stub is generally credited
the fire which destroyed property in
South Fort Worth, Texas, that was
valued at $2,000,000, caused the death
of J. J. Newton, a bank employe; the
serious Injury of six persons, rendered
over 1000 homeless and caused the
temporary idleness of several hun-
dred workmen employed in the manu-
facturing plants and business houses
burned.
The burned area is under the guard
of state troops to prevent looting, and
the entire fire department is still en-
gaged in extinguishing the burning
embers, which, with the wind still
high, spasmodically spring into flames.
The fire originated in a barn near
May and Tucker streets. Driven by a
gale, the flames spread through build-
ings made dry by a protracted drought
snd within a few moments the con-
flagration was beyond control. Spec-
tacular in the extreme, the flames leap-
ed from building to building, across
broad avenues and at times for a
block at a time. The rapidity of the
fire's progress rendered impossible the
removal of household effects. Even
trinkets and jewelry had to be aban-
doned.
After eating its way through a
residence quarter, reducing to ashes
300 pretentious dwellings, the Broad-
way Presbyterian church, the Baptist
church, the Swedish chapel and the
Walker sanitarium, the flames, spread-
inz to the south, attacked the manu-
facturing plant of the Sawyer Elec:
trical company. This building was
quickly destroyed, as vere five large
warehouses and several smaller busi-
ness houses.
The yards of the Texas & Pacific
railroad were next in the path. The
roundhouse, the repair shops, the coal
chutes and many box cars were de-
stroyed, and twenty locomotives were
reduced to twisted masses of steel,
Next to the railroad yards is an open
space, and this checked the flames to
the southward.
Great Bridge Is Opened.
Amid the cheering of thousands, the
teoting of automobiles and the blow-
ing of factory whistles, the new
Queensborough bridge at New York
was opened to the public by Mayor
McClellan.
Here are some figures, showing that
in many respects the Queensborough
bridge is the greatest of the four
structures spanning the East river.
Main dimensions: Total length of
bridge, including approaches, 7424
feet; length of bridge proper, 3724
feet, 6 inches; clear height above
mean high water, 135 feet; height of
towers above bottom chord, 185 feet;
approximate dead load, steel paving,
etc., 120,000,000 pounds.
Daily capacity, cars and promenade,
215,000 persons.
Total cost,
$20,000,000.
Location: From East Fifty-ninth
street, Manhattan, across East river
and Blackwell's island, to Long island
City.
Bridge contains four trolley tracks,
two elevated railroad tracks, two
floors, a roadway fifty-three feet wire,
and two footwalks, each sixteen feet
wide.

Charged With $100,000 Shortage.
An examination of the books of the
office of the Baltimore, Md., city reg.
ister shows a shortage of more than
$100,000 in the funds of the office. Wil-
liam F. Downs, stock clerk in the
office named, is under arrest. It is be-
lieved that most of the stortage, if not
all of it, will be traced to Downs,
though this may prove difficult.
It is said that Downs, one of whose
duties was to make the daily deposits
of the city funds in the various banks,
made out deposit slips for less than
the amounts that should have been
deposited, and afterward altered the
figures in the bank books to make
them correspond with the amounts
that should have been deposited.
Priest Is a Bankrupt.
Rev, William McMahon. the pastor
of St. Bridget's Catholic church at
Cleveland, O., and the editor of the
Catholic Universe, filed a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy in the United
States court. In the petition his total
liabilities are stated to be $1,594,141.64,
with assets aggregating $75,207.08, of
which $71,300 is real estate. The se-
cured claims amount to $946,925.73;
unsecured claims, $371,207.91, and
commercial paper, $185.918.
Kidnappers Under Bail.
Mrs. Helen Boyle, wife of James H.
Boyle, kidnapper of Willle Whitla,
was arraigned before Justice of the
Peace Thomas McClain at Mercer, Pa.,
charged with kidnapping.
She entered a plea of “not guilty,”
and was held for the action of the
grand jury in the sum of $50,000 bail
Her husband waived a hearing at
Sharon, Monday, and is held in the
jail here on a similar bond.
Virginia Shaken by Earthquake.
Two separate and distinct shocks,
presumably of earthquake, were felt
at Winchester, Va., on Friday. Many
residents were awakened and consid-
erable alarm was felt.
Reports from Charlestown and Har-
per's Ferry, W. Va, show that the
shock was felt there. The vibrations
lasted about one-half a minute and
were from west to east.
B. & O. to Spend $10,000,000.
It is understood in Baltimore, Md.
that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad is
figuring on buying an immense amount
count being estimated as high as $10,
000,000. Tentative plans have been
prepared which will call for 6000 to
10,000 steel freight cars of various
types and many heavy locomotives.
Shot In Back by Discharged Werkman
John Daly, of Elizabeth, N. J., was
shot and probably fatally wounded by
Frank Cariola, a Sicilian. Daly is fore-
man for contractors who are building
up the Bronx sewer in New York, and
had discharged the man for an infrac-
tion of the rules. This was the cause
of the shooting. Daly was standing
with his back to Cariocla when shot.
Farmer Victim of Pickpockets.
Christian Lichty, a Paradise town-
ship, Lancaster county, Pa. farmer,
was relieved of his wallet, which he
carried in an inside vest pocket, by a
pickpocket. It contained $900 in cash
and about $2300 in checks. The rob-
bery c-curred in front of a hotel in
Lancaster and was unnoticed by the
farmer or those talking to him.
Walked 1800 Miles In 89 Days.
T. R. Deckrow, of the United States
Signal Corps, arrived at Gulfport,
Miss, having walked 1800 miles from
Sault Ste Marie, Mich., in eighty-nine
days. Deckrow started the walk with
three companions, the stipulation be-
ing that the distance be made in
ninety days. The other three dropped
out.
Separate Votes to Be Taken on Hides,
Lumber, Oil, Barley, Tea and Coffee
Schedules—T7Twenty Republicans and
Four Democrats Broke Away From
Their Party.
Washington, April 6.—Three o'clock
p. m., April 9, was the time set by
the house for a final vote on the
Payne tariff bill. The long expected
resolution from the committee on rules
closing general debate, providing for
certain committee amendments and a
full and free opportunity to alter the
lumber and hides schedules, was re-
ported and adopted, with sixteen votes
to spare, notwithstanding the deser-
tion of twenty Republicans. Four of
the sixteen votes came from the
Louisiana delegation, who likewise
broke away from their party. Previous
to the adoption of the resolution thers
was some severe criticism of it from
the Democratic side. Aside from the
interest which attached to this pro
ceeding was the speech of Mr. Clark,
of Floridas who denounced Bryan and
Bryvanism, Populists and Populism,
and who declared that he would sup-
port the Payne bill if it contained
what his constituents wanted—a duty
on Sea Island cotton and protection
for citrus fruits, pineapples, etc. His
remarks led him into an exciting col
loquy with Mr. Randell, of Texas, and
other Democrats, but he declared that,
having been instructed by the legisla:
ture of his state and his constituents
as to the stand he should take on the
erticles mentioned, he would not vio
late hig solemn obligation to them.
His whole attitude was one of defi
ance to the Democrats of the house.
Separate votes are to be allowed on
hides, lumber, oil (countervailing duty
removed and 75 per cent ad valorem
substituted), barley, barley malt, tea
and coffee.
Before the rule was reported there
were numerous speeches on the bill,
those occupying the floor being
Messrs. Bartlett (Georgia), Calder
head (Kansas), Burgess (Texas),
Stanley (Kentucky), Hobson (Ala
bama), Gillespie (Texas), Thistlewood
(Nlinois), Saunders (Virginia), Reed:
er (Kansas), Madden (Illinois).
An interested spectator throughout
almost the entire session was Mrs.
Taft, who was accompanied by her two
sons and Captain Archibald Butt, U.
S. A., one of the president's aides.
GIRLS LED ROBBER GANG
Robbed Pedestrians at the Point of
Revolver.
Memphis. Tenn., April 6.—Memphisg
boy burglars, led by two young wo
men, have been exposed and the ring:
leaders are under arrest. Before the
capture was made and Mrs. J. E. Wait,
a blonde of twenty-four, was taken in
to custcedy, the gang had successfully
robbed E. A. Gillespie's drug store in
South Memphis. One of the girls had
robbed pedestrians at the point of a
pistol and the gang in other ways had
terrorized the neighborhood near
where the girls lived.
LILLEY CRITICALLY ILL
Condition of Connecticut Governor ls
Causing Much Uneasiness.
Hartford, Conn., April 6.—The iil
ness of Governor George L. Lilley
from nervous exhaustion has assumed
a serious aspect, and his condition is
causing much uneasiness. The affec-
tion of the nerves, which has been
most pronounced in his stomach, ap
parently attacked his heart and kid
neys. It was stated, however, that
while the governor was extremely ill
these was no immediate danger of
death.
Baby Dies as Priest Christens It.
Neighbors and passersby at Button-
wood and ..inth streets, in Philadel

four-months-old baby, too
to save its life. He had

Roman Catholic church, when
suddenly came to the little one

heart, he ran to the residence
Horace C. Lewars. The baby was
before he reached the dector’s

victed of defrauding clients of $300.

High Pressure Days.
Men and women alike have to work in.
ces«antly with bran and band to hold their
own nowadays. Never were the demands
of business, the wants of the family, the
requirements of society, more numerous.
The first effect of the praiseworthy effort to
keep up with ali these things is commonly
seen in a weakened or debilitated condition
of the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both body
and brain, and in extreme cases in com-
plete nervous prostration. Iv is clearly
seen that what is needed is what will sus.
tain the system, give vigor and tone to the
nerves, and keep the digestive and as.
similative functions healthy and active.
From personal knowledge, we can recom-
mend Hood’s Sarsaparilla for this purpose.
It acts on all the vital organs, boilds wp
the whole system, and fits men and women
for these high pressaie days.
