HusBAND AND WIFE IN TOILS OF THE
LAw.—During the past two or three years
Mr. and Mrs. John Sucic, an Italian
couple, conducted a boarding house and
commissary down at the Red Roost. They
had a number of boarders who paid $9.50
every two weeks, and in addition they fur-
nished liquid refreshments for their board-
ers which was extra. Mrs. Sucic was the
treasurer of the family and also paymas-
ter. All bills were paid to her and even
Mr. Sucic turned his money over to her.
On the 28th of March she disappeared
very unexpectedly and Mr. Sucic claimed
that between $800 and $900 of his money
went with her. Of course he did not
like to lose all that money so he swore
out a warrant for the arrest of his wife
on the charge of larceny. It was some
days before the authorities got any trace
of the woman, but they finally learned
that she went from Bellefonte to Isett,
Blair county, where she was seen
in company with a rather good-looking
countryman. She remained there only
one day when she went to Altoona.
In the meantime Sucic had been insti-
tuting a search on his own hook and
learning that his wife was in Altoona
went there and endeavored to persuade
her to return home with him. She de-
clined to do so and later had a warrant
sworn out for the arrest of her husband
on the chrage of threatening her life.
Sucic was arrested on Tuesday and a
short time afterwards Mrs. Sucic was
taken into custody in Altoona by con-
stable Horace Musser. The woman was
brought to Bellefonte Tuesday evening
and her husband came along as a wit-
ness
Mrs. Sucic was given a hearing before
justice of the peace W. H. Musser Wed-
nesday morning and evidence was pre-
sented by her husband showing that she
got away with all his money, and in ad-
dition left a number of unpaid bills in
Bellefonte. At the conclusion of the
hearing Squire Musser discharged the
woman for lack of justifiable evidence.
Mr. Sucic was returned to Blair county
where he will have to stand trial on the
charge preferred by his wife.

ty wedding was celebrated at the Baptist
parsonage in Milesburg, at 10.30 o’clock
last Saturday morning, when John Calvin

Mr. and Mrs. Morrison were brought to
Bellefonte in an automobile and had din-
ner at the Bush house, after which they
departed on a wedding trip to eastern
cities.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. R. S. Thompson, of Philipsburg,

tre and Huntingdon counties. The bride-
groom is a farmer by occupation and

A REGULAR BUSHWHACKER.—The fol-
lowing item is taken from The Log, a
magazine published by the Circumnavi-
gator’s Club, an organization made up of
persons who have traveled around the
world, and whose membership reaches to
every corner of the earth:
Circumbush, of Bellefonte, Pa., spent
the month of January circuming Florida.
Circumbush, in his travels around, cross-
ed both the Equator and the Arctic Circle
and some time after his arrival home
wrote a book which contained a resume
of his experiences and observations. It
is called “Forty Thousand Miles Around
the World.” ‘
Our Weekly Summary of
RE
Legislative Activities.
[Continued from page 1, Col. 5.]
Senator VARE of Philadelphia is “some” reformer. Every Monday evening
he comes forward with a resolution which radiates sympathy for the “plain pee-
pul.” This week he proposed a probe to ascertain “the cause of the raise in the
price of anthracite coal by operators or dealers.” His plan is a commission of
three and provides for a report in January, 1916, to the Governor and a supple-
mentary deliverance to the Legislature in 1917. There is an appropriation, of
course, of $10,000, the standard for transcient commissions, and the “soulless cor-
porations” will be placed on the spit to squirm. It would be hard to dig up more
available campaign material for a candidate for Mayor of a metropolis or Govern-
or of a great Commonwealth.
A fight against the Governor’s child labor bill in the Senate has been or-
ganized and it looks formidable. It opened on Monday with a protest to the Gov-
ernor by a delegation of Northumberland county manufacturers and continued in
a public hearing before the Senate Committee on Judiciary Special, yesterday.
After the personal interview with the Governor the Committee sent him a state-
ment which intimated that he not only doesn’t understand the meaning of words
but that his knowledge of industrial life and conditions is exceedingly meager. In
other words the new fight upon the question will be “to the hilt” and however it
ends will leave scars that will endure a long time. The public hearing on Tues-
day developed nothing except a ruffianly exchange of epithets between Senator
VARE and JOSEPH R. GRUNDY, president of the Manufacturers’ Association.
The coal miners have been finally brought within the provisions of the work-
men’s compensation law by an amendment to the CATLIN bill adopted yesterday
in the Senate. The House voted yesterday for the bill taking from the Public
Service Commission power over municipal affairs and during three sessions passed
various other bills some of which had already been passed by the Senate and are
riow ready for the Governor. In fact both Houses are making such progress with
legislation that final adjournment on May 6th is highly probable.
NoLL.—Mrs. Emeline Noll, ‘widow of
the late William H. Noll, died quite sud-
denly at her home at Pleasant Gap at
noon on Sunday, following a brief illness
as the result of a stroke of apoplexy.
She was a daughter of Levi and Hettie
Evy and was born in Juniata county on
December 14th, 1839, hence had lived to
the ripe age of 75 years, 4 months and 4
days. When a girl her parents moved to
Centre county and located in Spring
township where she grew to womanhood
and where in 1860 she was united in mar-
riage to William H. Noll. A good part
of her life since has been spent at Pleas-
ant Gap. She was a devout member of
the Reformed church for sixty years and
a woman whose goodness and many
christian acts drew to her a large num-
ber of friends who now mourn her death.
Her husband has been dead a number
of years but surviving her are the fol-
lowing children: County Commissioner
William H. Noll Jr., J. Abner Noll and
John T. Noll, of Pleasant Gap; Boyd A.
Noll, of Zion, and Mrs. Edith E. Ramsey,
of Harrisburg. She also leaves one broth-
er and two sisters, namely: Mrs. Eliza-
beth Eckenroth, of Bellefonte; Henry
Evy, of Lemont, and Miss Harriet Evy, of
State College.
Funeral services were held at her late
home at two o’clock on Wednesday after-
noon by Dr. Ambrose M. Schmidt, after
which the remains were laid to rest in

To MINE LIMESTONE.—The American

mine the limestone at their plant along

have quarried the vein as far northeast
| as their title will permit them going and
the vein being a very good one the only
' thing to do is to go down for it. Conse-
quently a shaft has already been sunk to
a depth of fifty feet about two-thirds of
the way back through the quarry. Up-to-
date mining and hoisting machinery will
be installed, all to be driven by electric
power, and the stone will be mined and
hoisted to the surfaceon a hugh elevator.
The shaft has been arranged so that
the vein can be worked both ways and
| the company will thus have a supply of
| stone sufficient to last for twenty-five
i years or longer. While there will be
| considerable expense connected with the
installation of the machinery once every-
, thing isin running order it is said that
i there will be very little more expense in’
| mining the stone than in taking it out in
an open quarry.

A PECULIAR MARITAL Mix-UP.— About
two years ago Foster D. Weaver went
from State College to Altoona, where he
had secured employment, but his wife
refused to accompany him to the Moun-
tain city. On February 16th, 1914, Weav-
er filed a petition for divorce in the Blair
county court on the charge of desertion
and M. M. Morrow was appointed a mas-
ter to take testimony. He subsequently
heard Mr. Weaver's statement but de-
sired further evidence. As this was not
produced he so reported to the court and
his appointment was revoked.
Mr. Weaver is one of four heirs to
property in State College left by his fath-
er and during the past fortnight this
property was sold in order to settle up
the estate. When it came to the signing
of the papers in the transfer it was dis-
covered that the present Mrs. Weaver
had a different name from the one ap-
pearing on the original docket. An in-
vestigation followed which revealed the
i fact that after filing his petition for a
| divorce Mr, Weaver conceived the idea
that he was at liberty to take another
plunge into the matrimonial sea, and at
once proceeded to marry an Altoona
woman. Hearing of her husband's sec-
ond marriage Mrs. Weaver supposed he
had secured a divorce and she got mar-
ried for a second time, and is now living
near Centre Hall with the tan of her
second choice.
When Weaver was informed of the
situation he was in he sent for Clement
Dale Esq., to go to Hollidaysburg and un-
weave the tangle. Mr. Dale went there
last Thursday but he found the situation
so complex that he was unable to do
anything off hand. It is possible an ef-
i fort will be made to adjust the difficulty
outside the criminal courts, as it is the
belief that both Mr. and Mrs. Weaver
thought they were free to marry again.
