Last Thursday afternoon the belt slip- ped from the big pulley which drove a cross-cut saw at which he was working. The foreman ordered the power shut off and Gramley crawled under the floor to replace the belt. When ten minutes or more elapsed and he failed to reappear some of the other mill employees went to see what was wrong. They found the young man lying along the shaft with his clothing almost all torn off and wrapped so tightly around the shafting that it had to be cut away. The young man was still breathing when they got him out but he expired shortly afterwards. It was evident that when he crawled under the floor the shaft was still revolving and his clothing caught and he was whirled around the shaft through a space not more than eight inches. His face was crushed and torn, both arms broken and one almost torn from the shoulder and | the left leg broken. The accident was a most deplorable one but one for which Mr. Winklebleck cannot be blamed. The unfortunate young man was born at Wolfe's Store on April 28th, 1897, hence was only 18 years, 10 months and 17 daysold. He was a member of the ! United Evangelical church and a steady, industrious young man. his parents he is survived by the foliow- | ing brothers and sisters: Henry, Iva, | i | i Rather un- man he studied medicine and during his | assuming and unostentatious in manner active years was very successful in his | he was a man of the strictest integrity, a practice. When the Civil war broke out he enlisted on April 17th, 1861, as a member of the Second infantry (the old Bellefonte Fencibles) and shortly there- after he was made regimental sergeant and sent to do duty at a recruiting sta- tion at Williamsport. He served his three month’s enlistment then returned to Bellefonte and resumed the practice of medicine. He served as postmaster ! of Bellefonte during President Cleve- land’s first term, he having been named ! as a compromise candidate by ex-Gov- ernor Andrew G. Curtin. Dr. Dobbins was one of the old time | chardcters of Bellefonte. He was a Democrat in politics and a great reader not only of political affairs but all cur- rent literature,so that he was a good com- panion to those who formed the circle of his most intimate acquaintance. He is probably the last of that old time school to pass away. Funeral services were held in the home of Miss Dobbins at Milesburg at two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Prentiss, of the Baptist church, after which the remains were buried in the Bellefonte Union cemetery, in the Dob- bins lot alongside the remains of his ‘cousin, Mrs. Welsh.

HEBREWS CELEBRATE FESTIVAL OF PURIM.—Purim, a Jewish half-holiday, celebrated more as a day of Thanksgiv- ing and happy spirit than with any re- ligious significance, was observed by the Hebrews generally in Bellefonte on Sun- day evening. The festival of Purim is based on the account in the book ef Esther and com- prises the romantic career of a Jewish maiden who rose from obscurity to the throne of Persia. When her people were on the verge of being wiped out of ex- istence by the Persians the tact and dis- cretion of the charming queen saved them. The Lyric theatre on Sunday evening was more than half filled by members of the Hebrew race and others to witness the children in their obser- vance of the feast. After reading the book of Esther a dozen young people en- acted the play, and did it so wonderfully well as to elicit applause from the au- dience. Miss Sarah Brandman took the part of the King, Miss Stella Grauer was the Queen and Joseph Katz acted the part of Mordecai. At the close of the exercises the children presented Mr. Brandman with a beautiful and serviceable fountain pen. ——Put your ad. in the WATCHMAN.

Mr. Nevin then endeavored to secure a sum of money he had in a drawer upstairs but was beaten back by the flames and the money burned. The only thing saved was a box in which there was some clothing and some bed clothes that were in a downstairs room. All the houses were of frame construc- , tion and the flames quickly communicat- ed from one to another until the four i t were burned. Mr. Nevin had a small in- i surance on his household goods and there | was some insurance on the houses but! not enough to cover the loss in either case. The origin of the fire isa mys- | tery, as when first discovered it seemed | | as if it had started in a partition, and no ! "fire had been in that part of the house | ‘ during the day.

As it was ' one horse was burned to death and Mr. i Decker lost all his grain, hay and farm- ing implements. Both the barn and con- } tents were insured but not for a sufficient | sum to cover the loss. How the fire! ! originated is unknown but it was believ- | I ; ed to be the work of an incendiary. | AA AP FOREIGN MISSION MEETING.—The for- | ty-first annual convention of the Wom- | an’s Foreign Missionary society of Hunt- ingdon Presbytery will be held in Philips- burg on Wednesday and Thursday, March 29th and 30th. | The meeting will convene for organi-,| zation at 7.18 and at 8.45 there will be a | popular rally for Missions, addressed by | i Rev.

George Lose tes- tified that he was in the bar-room of the Bush House Friday evening from about 7:30 to 8:30 and that neither Faucett nor Craig came in during that time. Samuel Foster testified that he was in the bar-room from a little be- fore seven until about ten o'clock and swears positively that neither Faucett nor Craig was there that evening. To the same effect William Bathurst tes- tified, except that he was in the bar- room only during the time Faucett alleged he was there. Mr. Bathurst also testified that he knew these boys well and had seen them get a bottle of whiskey late in the afternoon of that day from a man by the name of Kane in one of the pool-rooms in town. “How is the Court to reconcile the conflicting statements of these wit- nesses? If there was no testimony to contradict the statements of these young men this rule would be made absolute and the l‘cense revoked, be- cause they are only eighteen years of age, and in neither instance looking older than they really are, a sale to them, or to either of them, would be a flagrant violation of law, The diffi- culty lies in the fact that Faucett's testimony is disputed by at least three witnesses, and Craig’s by at least two, and it is reasonable to conclude that if Faucett did not buy as stated by him, neither did Craig, because they were in company with each other ex- cept during the time they allege they made these purchases. “In view of the positive denial by the witnesses for the respondent, which may be termed a prepondeance of testimony in his favor, we feel that the rule should be discharged, and this is accordingly done, costs to be paid equally by the petitioner and re- spondent. By the Court, HENRY C. QUIGLEY. WHAT MR. HUGHES SAYS. In view of the fact that Judge Henry C. Quigley has decided that the evidence adduced at the recent hearing was not sufficient to revoke the license of Mr. W. L:. Daggett, proprietor of the Bush house, I desire to say to an interested public that only the preliminary skirmish has been made. I-shall proceed as soon as possible to bring criminal proceedings not only against the Bush house but against the Brockerhoff house for per- sistent illegal selling of liquor to minors, which I believe I can satisfactorily prove before a Centre county jury. Iam on the war path in this matter and shall not rest until I shall have exhausted every legitimate means to close the saloonsrun by the two hotels above mentioned. J. R. HUGHES, Headmaster Bellefonte Academy. ——They are all good enough, but the WATCHMAN is always the best.
