Bellefonte, Pa., June 20, 1913.
P. GRAY MEEK,
Still Waiting an Explanation.
Although our up town contemporary,
whose owner and reputed editor, now |
kept busy drawing a $5,000 Democratic |
salary, finds ample space to further insult
the Democrats of the county by a reit- |
eration of its foul and truthless insinu-
ation as to their willingness to be the !
creatures of a boss and the purchased
tools “of corporations and whiskey dis-
tillers,” as charged by it, in the issue of
May 22, it has not room for a single line
explanatory of its owner's appointment
of two Republican assistants, (at $2,500
each,) to the only places he had at his dis |
posal in the office given him by the Dem- !
ocracy.
It will take more than the different
excuses he is said to have made to sev.
eral disgusted friends, while home on
Monday last, who demanded to know the
reason for this treachery not only to
those who had supported himbut to the
party as well, to satisfy any Democrat
that he is either fit for, or deserving, the
place, he holds.
To some he alleged that the men who
backed him for the position—Messrs.
VANCE MCCORMICK, A. MITCHELL PAL-
MER and GEORGE W. GUTHRIE—required
a pledge from him before the appoint-
ment was given, to allow them to dic-
tate the appointments under him; to
others he tried to crawl out of the unen-
viable hole he had placed himself in by
asserting that these appointments had
not been made; and that Capt. CARSON,
(one of the Republicans appointed’ by
him and sworn in on the 9th of June, at
the same time, the same place, and by
the samefofficial who administered the
oath of office to himself,) assumed the
authority to make the facts public.
These two stories were the only expla-
nation made.
Our readers can imagine how much
manliness or truth there is in a creature
who thus skulks his own doings and has
not the courage to acknowledge his “first
official” act.

HON. WILLIAM C, HEINLE.
SUDDEN DEATH OF WILLIAM C. HEINLE.
— Residents of Bellefonte and Centre
county were very much shocked on Sun-
day evening when news was received of
the sudden death in New York of Hon.
William C. Heinle, which occurred at
noon that day in the Bellevue hospital.
Mr. Heinle went to New York over three
weeks ago to conclude a real estate deal
that had been hanging fire for some
time. He stopped at the Victoria hotel
and had the deal about in shape to close
up when he was taken sick on Wednes-
day of last week. He grew worse on
Thursday and was removed to the
Bellevue hospital. On Saturday his
daughter, Miss Bettie Heinle, was at the
hospital to see him and the physicians
then assured her that he would be out in
a few days and she made arrangements
to come home with him on Wednesday
of this week. Saturday night his condi-
tion grew alarmingly worse and from that
time he sank rapidly until the end, which
came just at noon on Sunday, his death
being caused by pleuro-pneumonia. His
daughter accompanied the remains home
on Monday, reaching Bellefonte at 8:30
o'clock in the evening, and they were
conveyed to his late home on east Bishop
street. On Tuesday morning the Centre
county bar association held a meeting
and appointed a committee to prepare a
memorial minute. The funeral was held
from his late home on Bishop street at
eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning.
Rev. George E. Hawes, of the Presby-
terian church, officiated and burial was
made in the Union cemetery.
Mr. Heinle was born in Miles town.
ship, on November 30th, 1849, so that at
his death he was 63 years, 6 months and
16 days old. He was of direct German
descent, his father, Jacob Heinle, having
been a graduate of a German University
while “his mother who before her mar-
riage was Miss Catharine Fedrie, was
also a native of the Fatherland. When
a boy only eight years of age deceased
was practically thrown upon his own re-
sources and went to live in the family of
William Walker, at Lamar, Clinton coun-
ty. During the ensuing nine years he
worked around among the farmers dur-
ing the summer and attended school in
the winter time. His thirst for knowl.
edge grew with his maturity and when
seventeen years old he began a course in
the Rebersburg Normal school, working
during the summer months to pay his
expenses during the school sessions, and
when he finally graduated it was with
high honors. He taught school one or
two terms and in 1872 was chosen prin-
cipal of the Philipsburg public schools, a
position he filled two terms. In 1875 he
succeeded the late Governor D. H. Hast-
ings, as principal of the Bellefonte schools
and a year later was chosen principal of
the preparatory department at The
Pennsylvania State College.
When a resident of Bellefonte he began
the reading of law with Col. J. L. Spang-
ler and this he pursued with such close

communication from “A Di-
of the Needlework Guild. mga] “Oo: nd work
Editor Watchman:
From past experience I am very much |
afraid your article in the WATCHMAN of |
June 6th in regard to the Needlework
Guild will be misunderstood by the mem- |
bers, they being led to believe that some |
change has been made, and that Mrs. |
Valentine is the only director, which |
could mean no end of confusion and |
trouble at collecting time to the com- |
mittee. Please make it clear to the peo-
ple that although we are a branch of the |
; National Guild it is non-sectarian, cannot
be under the patronage of any one church '
or confined to the limits of any ome in-
terest; and a home charity unless called
upon for help in some great disaster.
Since we organized in 1911 we have dis-
tributed in and around Bellefonte eight
hundred and thirty new articles of wearing
apparel. Our president was called upon
| to help the flood sufferers in Ohio some
| weeks ago and made a private collection
of two hundred and five articles. I think
| it is only fair to let the contributors know
i how much good they have done,and hope
jit will induce others to join in the good
i work. Men, women and children can
, become members by giving two new gar-
| ments ayear. Any member securing ten
| members or the equivalent (twenty-two
! articles) and one moncy member, no
matter how small the amount, becomes a
director. The present officers of the
| local Guild are as follows:
President, Mrs. John M. Shugert; vice
| president, Miss Mary Blanchard; sec-
| retary, Mrs. W. F. Reynolds; treasurer,
|Mrs. John N. Lane; directors, Mrs,
Denius, Miss Lida Morris, Mrs. Frank
| Crawford, Mrs. H. C. Valentine, Miss
Mary Hoy, Mrs. R. S. Brouse, Mrs. John
| N. Lane, of Bellefonte, and Mrs. G. G.

| SEARS—MCCLELLAN.—A quiet but pret-
| ty wedding took place at the home of
| Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wasson, at Lemont,
' at eleven o'clock on Monday morning,
| when their adopted daughter, Miss Kythe
. C. McClellan became the bride of Harold
| M. Sears, of Corry. The ceremony was
' performed by Rev. W. K. Harnish, of the
Presbyterian church, and the happy
| young couple were attended by Miss Ber-
i tha Bradford and Forest Evey, while
{ among the guests were the bride's broth.
er and sister, Allen McClellan, of Belle-
fonte, and Mrs. Normena McClellan Shu-
ey, of State College.
i The bride was adopted into the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Wasson after the death
| of her mother fourteen years ago and
| through her unselfish nature and kind
| thoughtfulness had endeared herself to
| them as a real daughter. She had also
| many friends in the community who will
miss her cheerful greeting and ‘sunshiny
nature, but all join in wishing her a
heapen measure of happiness. The bride-
groom is a graduate of The Pennsylva-
nia State College class of 1912, and now
holds a good position in the United States
Department of Forestry at Washington,
D. C., where they will take up their resi-
dence after a brief wedding trip.
WOOMER—SHANK. — Quite an elab-
orate wedding took place at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Shank, at Warriors-
mark, on Thursday of last week, when
their daughter, Miss Anna Lyle Shank,
was united in marriage to Edmund K.
Woomer, of Graysville. A large number
of guests were present to witness the
ceremony which took place at 3:30
o'clock in the afternoon and which was
performed by Rev. Edwin C. Keboch, of
the Methodist church. Refreshments
were served following the ceremony and
later the young couple left on a wedding
trip east.
The bride has for several years been
a successful school teacher in Warriors-
mark township and is a very excellent
young lady. The bridegroom is a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Woomer and is a

ding at the Reformed parsonage at Boals’
burg on Tuesday was that of Thomas M.

Stover, in the presence of only the re-
quisite number of witnesses. Both the

THINGS TO REMEMBER FOR THE SAFE
AND SANE FOURTH.—The public is earn-
estly requested to hang flags and bunt.
ing on their residences and places of bus-
iness to aid in making the sane Fourth a
gala day.
Children taking part in the drill for
the Fourth of July entertainment will
meet for a rehearsal at the High school
building at four p. m. Monday, June 23rd.
Children wishing to take part in the
parade will meet at the High school
building on Wednesday morning, June
25th, at 10 o'clock. .
Children wishing to enjoy the free au-
tomobile ride to take place immediately
after the parade will form an orderly
line extending from R. A. Beck's barber
shop down Allegheny street to Howard
street. Tickets will be issued to each
child by Robert F. Hunter trom the
northeast corner of the Diamond. Per-
fect order must be preserved.
One of the attractions in Bellefonte for
the Fourth will be Frank Wetzler’s band
of Milesburg. This is an unique band, as
it is composed of nineteen boys, ali in
knee pants, and their playing is of such |
an excellent standard that they are com-
pared very favorably with the old Miles-
burg band, which in its day was consid-
ered one of the best in the county. So
don’t fail to see and hear Wetzler’s band.

BoLD BURGLARS AT LOGANTON.—The
pretty and prosperous borough of Logan. |
ton, in Sugar valley, Clinton county, was
systematically burglarized last Thursday |
night and the bold, bad men who did the |
work made a clean getaway without dis-
turbing either the mayor or Thomas R.
passenger station of the Loganton and
White Deer railroad. The door of the
building was unlocked with a skeleton
key and the cash drawer in the ticket of-
fice rifled of ten dollars. The meat mar- |
ket of C. C. Brungard was also broken
into. There they found the safe unlock. |
ed but no money in it, and the burglars
evidently were too tender hearted to steal
meat from the refrigerator, as they prob- |
ably did not want anything so valuable. |
The last place visited was the postoffice, |
There the robbers unlocked the font |
door, carried out a five hundred pound '
safe which they put on a baggage truck |
secured at the railroad station, and haul
ed it out of town a quarter of a mile
where they blew it open and secured for- |
