    SENATOR TEMPLETON SENTENCED.—
Former State Senator Chambers O. Tem- 2
All our merchants report a very satisfactory .
pleton, of Tyrone, over whom has been
hanging the charge of mis-appropriating
money entrusted to his care to his own
use, voluntarily appeared before Judge
Baldridge in Hollidaysburg on Wednes-
day plead guilty and was sentenced to
pay a fine of two hundred dollars and
undergo imprisonment in the western
penitentiary for a period of not less than
three years nor more than twelve. The
former Senator is only a shadow of his
old self and the scene in the court room
when he appeared for sentence was really
a pathetic one. The same afternoon
sheriff Orr, of Blair county, took Mr.
Templeton to Pittsburg and turned him
over to the penitentiary authorities.
PASTOR INSTALLED.—Rev. S. C. Stover
was officially installed as pastor of the
Boalsburg Reformed charge on Wednes-
day as successor to Rev. A. A. Black.
The services were held in the Boalsburg
Reformed church in the morning and
large representations were present from
all the churches in the charge. Dr. Am-
brose M. Schmidt, of this place, made the
address to the minister and Rev. H.L
Crow, of Hublersburg, made the address
to the congregation. One pleasing fea-
ture of the day was the fact that the
church - members took advantage of the
occasion to make a liberal donation of all
kinds of provisions and supplies to the
minister. and his family, for which they
naturally are very gra

A BOOMING BIBLICAL STATEMENT—The

| longing to the Centre County Bible so-
ciety is rapidly selling, some of it below
the act cost. ithin the past few
days, the Depository inthe Y. M. C. A.
bujlding, Bellefonte, has received pur-
chasers and cash orders too numerous to
mention. One Bible school superinten-
dent sent cash for 18 bibles at 50
_cents each, for that number of the worthy
and most needy members of his school.
Another for 10 bibles at 23 cents for the

i Quite a number of our folks are on the sick list+
but none of a very serious character. The result
of neglected colds more than anything else.
Christmas was observed here on Sunday. Quite
ents were exchanged as usual, and everybody
{ seemed gay and happy. of course the children had
| all the fun they wanted, in addition to their stock
| of candies and toys.
| The Mummer club of Spring Mills calculated
to have a big time on Saturday last, but by some |
| mishap it fizzled out. Only a few made their ap- |

learn that the parade had been postponed. because

and delightful one. The church was handsomely
decorated, evidently the work of skillful hands,
and brilliantly illuminated. The program was
music and singing. The opening organ prelude
W. Lemen during collection, were both charming:
ly executed by C. E. Zeigler, the superintendent
children in their respective parts. The little
speakers did remarkably weli, delivering their
pieces like born orators. Some of the young la-
dies who took part in the recitations and singing,
displayed abilities of a high order of excellence
but a church, would have been applauded to the
very echo. The building was crowded to its ut-
most capacity. At the conclusion of the exercis-
es all the scholars received a package of candy.
Christmas eveningattracted a large congregation.
‘The church was beautifully decorated with spruce
and evergreens. The recitations, dialogues and
singing were all of a pleasing character and ad-
tertainment each scholar was presented with a
box of candy.

at the home of their sister.
D. J. Williams and family, of Gattenville. and
Miss Hilda Bjork, of Perth Amboy, spent last

The United Evangelical protracted meeting is
in progress and the pastor is assisted by Rev.
Campbell. It is hoped that there will be much
®ood done.
The first part of this week brought rain, sleet
and snow and for awhile it looked as though there
would be a general breakup, but it filled both the
ground and cisterns with water.
Head of Stee! Trust Resigns.
William Ellis Corey, president of
the United States Steel Corporation
since the resignation of Charles M.
Schwab, the first president, seven
years ago, himself tendered a formal
resignation at a regular meeting of
the finance committee in New York.
To all intents and purposes the resig-
ration has been accepted.
The finance committee passed upon
, it favorably, and it will come formally
before the board of directors at their
regular quarterly meeting on the 25th
of the month. That they will accept
it there is no doubt.
In 1907, when Mr. Corey married
Mabelle Gilman, the actress, it was
widely reported that he would be suc
ceeded as president, and there was @
faction of the board which rather
openly favored his retirement. It is
understood that his retirement has no
relation to his domestic affairs.
Boiler Explosion Kills Sixteen.
, Fourteen men were instantly killed
. and two have since died from injuries
received in the explosion of a tubular
boiler in thc engine house of the More-
wood Lake cmpany, the largest ice
; plant in Berkshire couuty, near Pitts
! field, Mass.
. The police theory of the explosion
is that a new safety valve which had
been installed by a Pittsfield firm wae
choked in the pipe leading from the;
boiler to the valve, and that whe eas
the gauge was set for only forty
pounds the boiler may have been car
rying 200 pounds of steam when it
: blew up.
The boiler house was demolished in
# second, snd pieces of the boiler,
timbers and human bodies were hurled
through the air.
One body was blown a distance of
200 feet and another 150 feet. The
cylinder of the boiler was found in &
tree on the edge of the luke more than
100 feet away, while a large piece of
iron was picked up 200 yards from
where the boiler house stood. i

A fire that destroyed three houses
fn Minersville, Pa.. resulted in the
death of the five children of John Mar-
kasavage. They ranged in age from two
months to eight years.
The infant was burned to death,
while the other four were slightly
burned, death having been caused by
suffocation. All of the children could
probably have been saved if the par-
ents had not lost their heads in the
excitement following the discovery of
the fire.

Fewer Lynchings in 1910.
Lynchiugs in the United States, ex-
cluding murders or killings in armed
race conflicts, numbered only 47 in
1910, against 57 in 1909, 65 in 1908, 51
in 1907, and 68 in 1906.
There are no official records of these
