EVANGELIST STARKE ENDS CAMPAIGN
SUNDAY NIGHT.—The evangelistic cam-
paign conducted the past two weeks at
the Methodist church by evangelist Lee
Starke, of New York, will close Sunday
on which day the evangelist has agreed
to deliver three addresses as follows: At
11 a. m., “Seeing Jesus” is to be the
topic; at 3 p. m., he is to talk to men
only. Subject, “Man Wreckers,” and at
7 p. m., the subject of his farewell ad-
dress to the people of Bellefonte is to be,
“The Second Coming of Christ.” This
is to be one of the evangelist’s supreme
efforts.
Mr. Starke will preach everynight this
week at 7.30. His subject for tonight is,
“I Love You.” and on Saturday night
“Does it Pay to Serve Christ?” At this
service the evangelist will make a short
talk, and then the meeting will be thrown
open for Christian men and women to
witness for Christ by answering the
question, “Has it Paid Me to Live the
Christian Life?”
A record breaking crowd should hear
the evangelist,not only in his farewell ad-
dress, but throughout the remaining ad-
dresses of this week. Few men have ever
preached in our midst who have aroused
greater interest in spiritual things than
has Mr. Starke. He has labored faith-
fully and earnestlv, and his sermons
have been blessed in the conversion of
many souls, in the reclamation of back-
sliders, and the reviving of Christians
generally; and it is believed that the
good work done during the meetings will
continue its effectiveness, and the great
religious experience and awakening
through which the church has passed
will live long.
Mr. Starke’s fearless and manly man-
ner of preaching, together with his in-
tense love for his fellow man, has won
for him a vast number of friends, who
will be genuinely sorry to see him leave.
On Monday the evangelist will go to Hast-
ings, Pa., to conduct a series of meetings
similar to those about to be concluded
here.
HUSTON TOWNSHIP YOUTH ACCIDEN-
TALLY SHOT.—John Campbell, the four-
teen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. George
Campbell, of Huston township, is in the
Bellefonte hospital suffering with a gun-
shot wound as the result of the careless
handling of a gun that was not supposed
to be loaded.
The shooting occurred on Friday even-
ing. The family butchering had been
completed at the family home and Frank
Dillen, a neighbor, was handling the re-
volver which had been used to shoot the
hogs in the morning. He had been told
| that it was not loaded and naturally was
not as careful as he otherwise would
have been. Young Campbell was stand-
ing in front of him when there was a
report from the accidental discharge of
a loaded cartridge in the gun. Campbell
dropped . to the ground. A physician
was hastily summoned who found that
the bullet, a 32 calibre steel tipped one
had penetrated the youth’s abdomen
about an inch below the navel and cours-
ing down-wards and obliquely through
the lower part of the body came out of
the right leg just below the thigh bone.
The wound was dressed and bandaged
and Saturday morning Campbell was
brought to Bellefonte for further treat-
ment. The fact that he has been getting
along splendidly and has developed no
bad symptoms shows that no vital spot
was penetrated by the bullet in coursing
through his body and his early and per-
manent recovery is anticipated.

APPOINTED AGENT AT PHILIPSBURG.—
Wilbur E. Burkholder, who for almost
thirteen years has been assistant to pas-
senger agent Harry L. Hutchinson at
the Pennsylvania railroad depot in this
place, was last week appointed agent at
Philipsburg to take the place of Alex-
ander Pearse, deceased. He went to
Philipsburg on Friday evening and took
charge of the company’s affairs there on
Saturday morning. John I Scholl was
promoted to succeed Burkholder at the
Bellefonte depot and John Shiele, of
Clearfield, was appointed to Scholl's posi-
tion.
During the years Mr. Burkholder has
been in Bellefonte he has proven a very
capable man and he and his wife have
made many warm friends who are sorry
to seethem leave the town. That he
postmaster Harry Valentine's term is
nearing an end it is natural to conclude !
that Mr. Gherrity may be appointed any
time. |
will get along splendidly in his new posi-
tion noone doubts for a moment and
everybody wishes him success as well as
commends him to the people of that com-
{ munity. Mr. Burkholder will move his
—Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Grove had as
guests over Sunday Mr. Grove'’s three
sisters, Mrs. Amanda Houser, of Belle-
fonte; Mrs. Julia Shuey and Mrs. Sarah
Etters, of Lemont. It was the first time
in a number of years that the brother
and three sisters were together for a day
and they all enjoyed the gathering very
much.
——Centre county has had a real touch
of winter during the past week. Begin-
ning last Thursday evening it blew up
cold and for several days an unusually

throughout the week and Wednesday
morning the ground was covered with
snow, the first of the season to'lay an
length of time. :
——Landlord James Noonan, who
underwent treatment in the city hospital,
Williamsport, for several weeks, return-
ed home last Saturday considerably im-
proved in health. Of course he is not

the Brant house and look after the hotel
household goods to Philipsburg as soon
as he can secure a suitable house.

DREAMS OF STAGELAND—The following
item from Tuesday's Lock Haven Ex-
Dress refers to a Bellefonte “comedian,”
though he is now located in Lock Haven:
Cecil Overton, a well known colored
gentleman of this city, will be one of
the leading soloists to perform in Cum-
berland, Md., Christmas. He is taking
all the leading tenor solos in the Christ
mas play entitled “Santa’s Prescription.”
He was one of the prize winners at
Mishler’s Theatre, * Altoona, last year.
He is also known as one of the “best
comedians among his race. :

——Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Rummel, who
for a year or more have been located in |
City, Mo. Mr. Rummel when in Belle- |
fonte was head clerk with Sim, the |
Clothier, while Mrs. Rummel before her
marriage was Miss Maude Campbell.
Since leaving Bellefonte they have been
constant readers of the WATCHMAN and
thus keep posted on all that transpires
in Bellefonte and Centre county,
—*I would rather go to the Scenic
than the average show,” a young lady
was heard to remark on the street the
other evening; “because I get more for
my money than I can in any other place
of amusement in Bellefonte.” And that’s
just the reason the Scenic is so well pa-
tronized. Manager Brown is giving more
for the money than you can get any-
where else. He believes that there isn’t
anything too good for scenic patrons.

—Six prisoners were taken from the
new penitentiary at Rockview back to
the old penitentiary at Pittsburgh on
Saturday. The men had not engaged in
a fight or anything like that, but refused
to work on account of the cold weather.
Evidently they failed to take into consid-
eration the abundant supply of oxygen
they were getting in the gales of pure
air which poured across the prison
grounds during the stormy days last
week.
——The WATCHMAN has thus far
omitted to make mention of the fact that
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert M. Bartley with
their daughter Ruth, of Lock Haven,
have come to Bellefonte to make their
home, for a time at least, with Mrs.
Henry P. Bartley in Bush’s Addition. Mr.
Bartley’s health is such that he has been
compelled to relinquish his work with
the Clark Printing company, of Lock
Haven, in the hope that continued rest
will prove beneficial.
-— On Saturday of last week William
Ronan, of Altoona, was arrested at How- |
ard on a charge of horse stealing prefer-
red by J. C. Burns, of Altoona. Ronan
took Burns’ horse, buggy, robes, etc.
from his stable on Friday afternoon
without even asking for it and drove off-
He was traced to Tyrone and down Bald
Eagle valley finally being arrested at
Howard. He was taken back to Altoona
and held in five hundred dollars bail on
the charge of horse stealing.
——Shortly before six o’clock on Mon
day evening John Yearick in his automo-
bile collided with a buggy in which were
the Misses Margaret, Elizabeth and
Barbara Rosenhoover, as they were
rounding the corner of the Bush Arcade
on their way out Water street. The
ladies were all thrown from the buggy,
Miss Elizabeth alighting on the hood of
Yearick’s machine. Miss Barbara was
thrown against the machine and had her
neck and side injured, while Miss
Margaret also sustained injuries to her
side.
——The Panther hunting club left over
the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania
yesterday morning for their annual hunt
at the head of Big Bear run in the Alle-
gheny mountains. They went out at
this early date in order to get properly
established in camp and have a few days
bird hunting before the opening of the
deer season next Wednesday. The party
this year includes W. C. Cassidy, A. Linn
McGinley, Edmund Blanchard, Henry
Kline, William H. Brown, William H.
Brouse, James Clark, David Washburn,
August Glinz and Charles Osmer, of
Bellefonte, and Thomas Moore, of Phil-
adelphia.
—Traffic on the Lewisburg and Ty.
rone railroad between Bellefonte and
Sunbury has increased to such an extent
since the line was taken over by the
Pennsylvania railroad company a year or
so ago that some extensive improvements
are necessary to keep the road in first
class shape. Thousands of dollars are
being expended in putting down new ties
and rails, building new bridges and gen-
erally equipping the road so that it will
stand the very heaviest motive power.
Section foremen are being furnished
motor cars to replace the old handcar,
and a complete telephone system is be-
ing installed along the entire branch.
——The two train crews on the Pitts-
burgh and Susquehanna railroad, better
known as the “Allepopper,” which runs
from Philipsburg to Fernwood, Clear-
field county, a distance of sixteen miles,
went on a strike last Friday evening and
as a consequence business on the road
has been tied up ever since. The road
is used by a large number of miners who
live in and around Philipsburg and work
in the neighborhood of Houtzdale and as
they had no means of transportation the
mines have been short-handed. The
Allepopper railroad was brought into
prominence a year ago when Ellis Free.
man staged the big railroad wreck for
moving pictures.

party of eight from Lock Haven, on Tues-
day evening.
'——The address, “Render Unto Cae-
ser,” by the Hon. Michael J. Fanning, on
Sunday afternoon, was enjoyed by a very
appreciative audience. His statistics
were rather unusual and showed a great
deal of time and thought had been spent
on the subject. Uulike most reformers,
he concedes to others the right of private
judgment and can be listened to with
pleasure by those who differ in opinion.
A number of honorary and active mem-
bers were signed up for the local union.

—Four years ago Henry Schenk, of
Lebanon, presented the Bellefonte Acad-
emy with fifteen football blankets. About
ten days ago, or shortly after the game
with St. Francis, at Loretto, one of the
blankets disappeared. Mr. Hughes will
pay a liberal reward for its return or
any information leading to its discovery.

running around unless it counts and he gets
about all he wants of that, too. With all due re-
spect to the rest of them he surely is the boss

mie” Waddle, for years the popular freight con-
| ductor on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad until his

+ will be eighty-two years old next February and
i “hopped” off the train is evidence that he is just
as sprightly and in as good health as ever,
