under the auspices of the Presbyterian,

| Evangelical churches, and will be held in
the armory for a period of three weeks,
beginning Sunday morning, January 17th.

arrive in Bellefonte tomorrow afternoon
accompanied by his singer, Mr. Culber,
of New Haven, Conn. They will make
eral is urged to turn out and take part
in the services.
The armory has been put in shape for
the accommodation oi large audiences,
even up to two thousand people. Chairs
have been installed so that all who at-
tend can be comfortably seated. A choir
platform has been erected to accom-
modate the large choir and orchestra. At
a meeting on Monday night sixty-five
persons reported for choir work. Another
meeting will be held tomorrow evening
at the High school building and it is the
desire of those in charge that others re-
port, as it is hoped that a choir of one
hundred and twenty-five voices can be
secured. Christy Smith’s orchestra and
the orchestra connected with the Metho-
dist church, will assist with the music.
In preparation for these meetings cot-
tage prayer meetings have been held
throughout Bellefonte and at Coleville
beginning on Thursday night of last
week and continuing through this week.
The town was divided into sixteen dis-
tricts and an average of five meetings
were held in each district every night
but Saturday evening. Fourteen prayer
meetings have been held in Coleville.
The attendance at these meetings has
been very good and a determined spirit
has been manifest in the work. The
men representing the different churches
who have had charge of this preliminary
work are as follows:
Tressler, M. R. Johnson, J. E. Stover, C.
C. Shuey, Cyrus Solt.
Presbyterian—Rev. James P. Hughes,
David Miller, Charles Gilmour, D. F.
Fortney, H. C. Yeager, M. L. Altenderfer.
United Brethren—Christ Young, Darius
Waite, W. R. Shope, Ellis Stine, W. T.
Shirk.
United Evangelical.—E. J. Teaman,
Willis Grove, Edward Young, Rev. Ful-
comer.
Coleville.—Joseph Lowry,
Minnemyer, James H. Rine.
Three meetings a day will be held in
the armory, morning, afternoon and
Warren
ture of the meetings will not be known
until Evangelist Orr arrives.
Dr. Orr comes to Bellefonte with a
reputation us a powerful worker and a
wonderful influence for good. He has
been doing evangelistic work the past
four or five years, principally throughout
the west, and has proven very success-
ful. This will be his first work in Penn-
sylvania and naturally he will be desirous
of getting good results. But Dr. Orr
alone can’t do it. The people of Belle-
fonte, in the church and out of it, must
be with him heart and hand. It must
be a union of hearts and souls in the
common cause of fighting sin and bring-
ing sinners to the foot of the cross.
Every person in Bellefonte should feel
responsibility for the success of these
meetings, for what is for the good of one
is for the good of all and for the better-
ment of the town and community in
which we live.
PosTMASTER COBLE'S SHORTAGE IN-
'CREASING.—During the past week a post-
office inspector has been busy trying to
unravel the affairs at the Pleasant Gap
postoffice to find out definitely the
amount of the shortage of postmaster
George W. Coble, who ran away on Mon-
day of last week with the funds of the
office, the announcement having been
made exclusively by the WATCHMAN.
As near as can be figured out now
the shortage will be in excess of $600,
but the records of the office are in such
a shape that it may be months before a
definite and accurate count can be made.
Whole pages were torn out of account
books and destroyed, the stubs of money
order books were made away with and
all the records are in such a mixed up
shape that it is a difficult case to unravel.
Mr. Coble had charge of the office only
since the first of October, and the only
way to check up his accounts is to get a
statement of the supplies furnished him
and the amounts of the money orders
issued, and check up with the records of
the office as they were when he left.
But as many of the money orders were
sent to foreign countries it will probably
be necessary to await their return be-
fore an accurate accounting can be made
and the exact amount of Coble’s short-
age figured up.
Charles K. Stitzer, merchant at Pleas-
ant Gap, was this week appointed post-
master to succeed Mr. Coble, and has
taken charge of the office.
FIRE INSURANCE CoMPANY ELECTS
OFFICERS.—At the annual meeting of the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance com-

| ——One of the deepest snows of the
| winter, so far, fell on Monday night and
| Tuesday. It began snowing on Monday
evening and continued throughout the
| night and Tuesday morning until nine
| o’clock when it turned to rain. It rained
most of Tuesday and Tuesday night but
cleared up by Wednesday. Notwith-
standing the big fall of snow and rain
the streams throughout the county were
not effected to any appreciable extent.
——James E. Solt, the shoe repair man,
of south Allegheny street, appeals to the
people of Bellefonte for more work in
order to properly support himself and
family. He does not ask or want charity,
but work and lots of it. He is an expert
shoe repairer and there is plenty of this
kind of work in Bellefonte to give him a
fair share of it. He will put your soles
in good condition at reasonable prices,
and is deserving of your patronage. Try
him.
——The funeral of the late Senator J.
K. P. Hall, at Ridgway, on Saturday, was
one of the most largely attended of any
held in Pennsylvania in recent years.
The gathering included five Congress-
men, a large delegation of State Sena-
tors and members of the Legislature,
eight judges and many distinguished citi-
zens of the State, in both political and
business life, who were present to pay
their last respects to the memory of a
man worthy the highest esteem.

——Hiram Fetterhoff found a freak
head of cabbage last Friday among the
supply he had stored away for the win-
ter. It looked like an ordinary head un-
til he pulled off the outer leaves when he
discovered that the big head was made
up of sixteen little heads, from the size
of an egg to a man’s fist. Each of the
small heads were solid and natural as
any cabbage head. Mr. Fetterhoff don’t
know whether to blame the vegetable
freak on the Democratic party or assign
it to some other cause.
——The Postoffice Department at
Washington has selected the Price prop-
erty and the adjoining lot on Beaver
avenue as the site for the government
building at State College, for which $60,
000 were appropriated at the last session
of Congress. The site is opposite the
Phi Gamma Delta house and will be
about as central a location as it was pos-
sible to select. It is expected that work
on the erection of the building will be
begun in the spring. The plot of ground
purchased is 110x160 feet in size, and the
price paid was $14,000.

——There was a man in Bellefonte
last Saturday wearing one of the old
blue army overcoats with cape like those
worn during the Civil war fifty years
ago. The coat was somewhat faded and
worn but in pretty fair condition, and
the sight of it aroused the curiosity of a
Bellefonte gentleman who inquired where
he had come across the coat. The man,
who is an old soldier, drew himself erect
and replied that he wore that coat when
he fought in the Civil war and he had
worn it [ever since; that it is the only
overcoat he ever owned.
——The ice went out of Bald Eagle
creek and the Susquehanna river last
week without doing any damage. At
Beech Creek a number of big floes of ice
were left stranded on the banks of the
creek and two or three people got enough
to fill their ice houses. Along the Sus-
quehanna all the ice was carried down
stream, none of it being left stranded on
the banks, and old rivermen aver that
this is a sure indication that there will
be little more ice on the river, if any;
and that there will be no more high
water during the winter and spring.

——DBellefonters will be interested in
knowing that the Rev. John Hewitt, for-
merly rector of St. John’s Episcopal
church in this place, who has been priest-
in-charge of the Cathedral of St. Paul in
church at Coldwater, Mich. While the
work at Erie was quite agreeable to Rev.
Hewitt and the environment most de-
lightful the Coldwater call was so insist-
ent that he was unable to decline it.
From what we understand the new
charge is quite an important one and re-
quires of him to officiate at but one serv-
ice a day. :
——One hundred invitations have been
issued for the golden wedding of Mr.

calling for help. Two men passing in a
sled stopped, but Lauver fired one shot
at them and ordered them to stay in the
sled. Finally they left without doing
further damage.
On Tuesday Weaver swore out a war-
rant for the arrest of the young men and
went down to Millheim to assist consta-
ble J. W. Bower in making the arrest.
Several other deputies were also sworn
in and the officers started for Lauver’s
home. They met him on North street
and as soon as he spied the officers he
started to run, with Dunlap in hot pur-
suit. The latter fired several shots at
the fleeing man but did no injury outside
of scaring Lauver who plunged through
Elk creek with the water up to his waist.
He ran through alleys and streets and
finally dodged into the home of Perry
Deabler where he hid under a bed but
was found and taken into custody by the
officers. King later gave himself up and
that evening the young men were brought
to Bellefonte and lodged in jail. King is
married and has two children, while Lau-
ver is a single man.

Krebs, David W. Miller Esq., who ought to be
