Natur- ally, we are not in a position to give a positive answer one way or the other, but this we do know that appearances now are more indicative of the road being bails than ever before. The public at large know that Bellefonte council has been asked for a franchise through the borough ; that the Milesbarg and State College councils will be asked for a similar privi- lege at their next regular meeting ; that Major Richter and a corps of engineers are bard at work on the preliminary survey, and for all thie work the people behind the movement are paying, not asking Belle- fonters to contribute a cent. Further, one or more of the head men are expected in Bellefonte today to see what is being done, #0 that there is every reason to believe that they mean business.

There was little else to do. It is regretable that such should be the outcome of our venture in a friendly rivalry with sister towns bat sach bas been the case. There will be criminations and recriminations, no doubs, bat the people in Bellefonte who bave sup- ported the team endorse she withdrawal for the reason, stated above, that there was lis- tle else to he done. When the leagne was organized it was understood that it was to be confined as pearly as possible to howe, amateur play- ers, and since the line was nos properly drawn probably it world bave been bester bad there been no line at all. For gradu- ally more and higher priced men were be- ing drafted by all of the teams #0 thas it seemed nothing but a show down as to which community could prodace the most money with which to buy the best piayers. All the element of interests and good sport that characterized the opening games of the season disappeared in the wrangle over the players who should be eligible for the closing games. Then, too, an element in each community oconceived the highest ideal of the games to be a betting proposi- tion. Whichever pool would lose, natural. ly it would raise an ado about the make up of the team that bad won. So that there was a continual clash and struggle for new men on the teams who could win games. Not win them for the glory of their town or the perfection of the sport but to swell the wads of the gambling element, While Bellefonte may have done some things she should not have done we think she was neither flagrant nr offensive in this respect. Our team has changed little daring the season. It lost constantly at first, but practice together and team spirit | | was rounding it into a very creditable or- | ganization. Oar people were as loyal to it t losing as they were delighted when it won. | But feeling that the team would stand no | chance agaivst the continuing importations | of the other teams, and nos caring to follow | thas practice, it was decided that she prop- | er course was to withdraw from the league. | In doing so manager Cunningbam sent | the following letter to the president of she | league : i Bellefonte, Pa., August 30th, 1900, Dr. Groner D, Geers, President of the Central Pennsylvanian League, Lock Haven, Pa. Dear Sir :=1 write to confirm my conversation by telephone today with Mr. Reilly, the secretary | of the League, in which I notified him that the | Bellefonte Base Bail Club has withdrawn from the Central Pennsylvania League, and in doiog | 80 we desire to state our reasons, Our conception of the purpose of the league was to play good but clean base ball in honest and straight-forward rivalry among the communities interested in the respective clubs and we think that we have maintained that standard through- out. Recent developments have convinced us that this original purpose of the league is not be, ing maintained. In support of this assertion we would particularly refer to the disregard which has lately been shown to a resolution adopted at a recent meeting of the league at Lock Haven, to the effect that any players signed by any of the clubs from and after the date of that meeting were to he bona fide players of such club and shoulo remain with the club and upon its salary list for the balance of the season. We regret very much that we are forced to take this position but we are satisfied that it is no longer possible to maintain the character of base ball intended when we entered the league ; and this is the only kind of base ball which our club will play or our community countenance, We regret this the more because our communi: ties are deprived of the character of base ball which this league presented to its supporters and patrons before such practices were indulged in. The contests were close, good ball was played and our communities had a sport that was fine and clean between evenly matched teams. The practices that are now indulged in can do noth* ing else than degrade the spirit of the game and are calculated to produce nothing more than a mere gambling contest, Very truly yours, J. M. Cussixguam, Manager of Bellefonte Base Ball Association, At a league meeting on Monday evening, at which Bellefonte was not represented, Renovo also withdrew from membership and it was then decided to disband the league, inasmuch as the season was within one week of heing at on end. Bat this does not mean that Bellefonters will not see any more baseball this season. Bellefonte has already arranged a series of games with Tyrone, Renovo, and it is pos- sible games will be arranged with the Philipsburg team, the Altoona Independ- ents and others, so that we will bave as many if not more games here than if the season in the league had been played toa finish. In last Friday’s league game with the Lock Haven professionale Bellefonte lost by the score of 9 to 5, and at Renovo on Saturday they lost the first game 9 to 1 and the second game was called at she end of the fourth inning on account of raip with the score 2 to 0 in Bellefoute’s favor. On Tuesday Bellefonte went to Renovo and played an exhibition game, being again defeated by the score of 4 $0 0. Tuesday the Tyrone team defeated Bellefonte 8 wo 2. ON TRIAL FOR SHOOTING CAPTAIN.— Lisle Crabtree, formerly a corporal in Troop D, Second United States cavalry, has been on trial by court martial the past week, at Omaba, Neb., for the killing of Captain Jobu C. Raymond, at Fort Des Moines last epring. Cralstree is a native of Philipsburg, this conuty, and at one time was a member of company B, in this place. His mother, Mrs. A. Beyer, of Tyrone, was one of the principal witnesses at hie trial in an endeavor to make him out as insane when he fired the fatal shot. The result of the court martial has not been learned at this writing. —You can make some money if you are in the market for buggy and team nets. Miss Dora Catharive Meyer, daoghter of | ex-connty commissioner and Mis. Philip | H. Meyer, of Centre Hall, aod William Alexander Odenkirk, of Glen Iron, was characterized with enough social formality to make it an event of some importance to the public at large as well as the two most directly interested. The Meyer home was handsomely deco- rated with golden rod and fervs aud about fifty guests were present to witness the ceremony which took place at high noon. Rev. Daniel Gress, of the Reformed church, officiated and the bride and hridegroom went to the altar opattended. Miss Rose Woods, of Boalsburg, played the wedding march from Lohengrin. Following the ceremony and congratula- tions a delicions wedding breakfast was served alter which Mr. and Mrs, Odenkirk left for a brief weddiog trip eass.

She is an accomplished and amiable young lady and has tbe best wishes of ber many friends for ber fature bappiness, The bridegroom ie the son of the late Jobn and Mrs. Mary Odenkirk, and pow holds the responsible position of station agent at Glen Iron, on the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad, where they will go to honsekeep- ing in the near fotore.

E. church by the pastor, Rev, J. 8. Sounser. They are now away on a wedding trip which will include Philadelpbia, Atlantic City and | New York. The bride is a danghter of Mr. and Mrs. Heory Fox, of this place, and is quite an attractive young lady. For several years past she bad been employed in Joseph Bros. store as a milliner and was as effi- cient in ber work as she is popular among the young people of her acquaintance. The bridegroom is a son of William R. Brach- bill and for a number of years past has been | employed by bis father in his furniture store on Spring street, and is an induos- trious and energetic young man. It is not yet known what plans the young couple bave made for the future, but if they get the full measure of happiness and sucoess wished for them by their many [friends they will he amply blessed, indeed. McMurTRIE—MOBLEY.--Two of How- ard’s well known young people, in the per- sone of Edward MoMurtrie and Miss Stella Mobley, daoghter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin 8. Mobley, were quietly married in Cam- den, N. J., lass week. They succeeded in keepiog the fact of their intended marriage a secret even from their most intimate friends. Mies Mobley came to Bellefonte in the early part of the week to visit friends and later was joined by ber pros- pective husband and the two proceeded to their chosen Gretna Green wheie they were cnited in marriage. The bride is one of Howard's best known and most popular ladies in the younger set, having graduated from the High school in that place last spring. The bridegroom is also well and favorably known. Upon their return they will make their home in Tyrone. > LAUCK—SNYDER —A quiet but pretty wedding was celebrated at the M. E. par- sonage at Pine Grove Mills at seven o’clock on Wednesday evening when Charles D. Lauck, a son of Mr. and Mrs, Adam F. Lauck, of Bloomsdorf, sud Miss Maria Snyder, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Snyder, of Ferguson townebip, were anit- ed in marriage by Rev. J. 8. Bierley. Fol- lowing the ceremony a reception was ten- dered the young couple as the home of the bridegroom’s parents. Mr. Lauck is em- ploged by the Bellefonte Central railroad aod is an industrious young man, while his bride is a young woman of most excel- lent qualities. —— AP — Baupis—FricK.—Edward H. Baundis and Miss Isadora H. Flick, both of Patton township, secured a marriage license in this place Friday morning last and going to Altoona were united in marriage by alderman Theodore Crawford, at his office on Eleventh avenue. After a brief boney- moon the young couple expect to take up their residence in Bellefonte. Ri a A ——Had it not been for a very timely discovery Centre county might now be ap against the proposition of building an en- tire new court house instead of remodeling the old one. A few days ago the officials in the register and recorder’s office perceiv- ed smoke issuing through the oeiling and notified the county commissioners. The latter sent for an electrician who,upon cut- ting a hole in the ceiling found the lath on fire for quite a little distance and the electrio light wires burned off. Had the fire started at night when nobody was around the probability is that the court house would bave been burned. The fire was undoubtedly cansed by defective wir- ing and the decision of the county com- missioners to have the whole house rewir- ed in an up-to-date and safe manner, is thus shown to be a very wise one.
