Items taken from the Watchman issue
of September 23, 1881.
—President Garfield died at Long
Branch, New Jersey, at 10.35 last
Monday evening, September 19.
—The lawyers of the Centre coun- |
ty bar have presented the Hnn. |
James Macmanus with a gold hes i- |
ed cane; being a testimonial of the
esteem in which he is held as well |
as a memorial of his admission to |
the bar fifty-five years ago. All of |
the lawyers at our bar now, except |
four, were born since Mr. Macmanus |
was admitted to practice. |
Editor's Note—James C. Furst
Esq., bought a gold headed cane at!
the recent sale of the Macmanus ef- |
fects. It is probably the one re-
ferred to. The Macmanus name is |
still on the tongues of many Belle- |
fonters even though it was one hun- |
dred and five years ago that the!
head of the family began the prac. |
tice of law here.
—William McKibben, who resided
a short distance below Jacksonville, |
was found dead in tne woods near
his home on Wednesday of last
week. He had two rifle ball wounds
in his forehead and the weapon was
lying at his side. It is not known
whether it was accidental or a sui-
cide. The fact that there were
two shots in his head rather dis.
proves the theory of suicide unless
he might have been able to devise |
some means of setting off the trig-
gers to both barrels at the same
time.
—The eighth annual reunion of
the Veteran Clubs of Centre Coun-
ty was held at Spring Mills on the |
10th. The Pleasant Gap, Farmer's
Mills, Millheim and Reedsville bands
were there.

THE PHILIPSBURGPHOBIA
The result of the primaries in
Centre county indicates that voters
of both parties on this side of the
!
|severe case of Philipsburgphobia.
Only one of the many candidates
from that section won a place on
‘the ballot. The feeling of resent.
ment engendered in the last judi-
cail fight has grown instead of abat-
ing. With the Judge, the Senator,
the two costly offices occupied by
' Messrs. Wilkinson and Boden and
the Coroner, which has lately be-
come quite a lucrative job, the im-
pression is general that Philipsburg
has its share. That might be true
as to the Republicans, but it is not
so as to the Democrats. They have
been consistently loyal and devoted
to their party. Only twice in twen-
ty-five years have they been repre-
sented on our party ticket and both
those times were when A.C. Thomp-
son volunteered to run for the Leg-
islature, when no other candidate
could be found to fill the ticket. It
appears to us that it was bad poli-
tics for the Democrats on this side
of the mountain to visit the sins of
the Republicans on the Democrats
of the other. That was the reason
we felt that O. S. Womer ought to
have been nominated as one of our
candidates for County Commission-
er.
However, it is not fair to call the
kettle black and close an eye to the
smudges on the pot. If those Dem-
ocrats in Philipsburg and Rush who
registered as Republicans in order
to vote for favorites in the Repub-
lican primary had seen far enough
ahead they might have discovered
that their votes would play an im-
portant part in Mr. Womer's con-
test.
There were only sixty-one votes
between their candidate and the suc-
cessful Mr. Brungart. And it is
reported that there are more than
that number of Democrats over
there who have the habit of jump-
ing the primary fences.

| SITE FOR POST OFFICE
TO BE CONDEMNED.
| According to a Washington dis-
. patch, under date of Sep. 14, the
| Federal government has ordered
condemnation proceedings to be in-
stituted against properties in Belle-
fonte that are desired as a site for
| the proposed new Federal building
in this place.
A number of sites have been of-
fered in Bellefonte, but it is appar-
ent from this proceeding that the
{only one the government thought
‘desirable is the southeast corner of
| Allegheny and Howard streets. It
will require the Krader Motor Co.
property now occupied by the Ross-
man garage, the home of Mrs. A.
M. Hibler next door and that of
Emma Montgomery adjoining.
We are not informed as to wheth-
er resort to condemnation was tak-
en because of failure to agree on a
price or whether some of the own-
ers were disinclined to sell at all.
There has been $125,000.00 allo-
cated for the purchase of the site
and erection of a building. Since
there is a margin of $6000.00 or
more allowed for unexpected contin-
gencies in such projects there is
said to be at least $131,000.00 avail-
ed for it if necessary.

FEATURE SERVICES IN
BELLEFONTE CHURCHES,
The Bellefonte Ministerium will
offer to the public a series of wor-
ship services beginning with the
27th of September and continuing
through the month of October.
This effort will be a united pro-
gram of themes, each pastor of the
several churches cooperating by
preaching on the same subject each
Lord's day morning, freedom of
choice being given in the selection
of topics for the evening hours of
worship. This participation by the
Ministerium will be called a “Loy-
alty Crusade.”
Not only the membership of these
churches but the unchurched are
urged to attend divine worship in
the church of their choice and thus
express their loyalty to our com-
mon Lord and Master.
This series will begin with rally
day on the 27th. Record will be
kept by roll call or otherwise with
follow up efforts being made to
reach the absent. Each church es.
tablishing a definite goal or goals
for the duration of the entire
“Crusade.”
Consecration will be the leading
thought October 4th, when the Holy
Communion will be observed. The
following Lord's day, the 11th, will
be family day. Every family is
requested to attend and be seated
as a family group.
The 18th of October has been set
aside as young peoples’ day, for
those who are young in spirit as
well as years.
October the 25th marks life serv-
ice and should seal the emphasis
of the whole enterprise. This is
frankly a go-to-church campaign on
the part of every Protestant church
of Bellefonte to restore the spiritual
emphasis where it rightfully be-
longs, for the period of depression
through which the world is passing
has clearly demonstrated that man
“can not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of
the mouth of God.” ***

for the first time at many placesin
the State, on Tuesday. From the
(howl that has gone up it appears
that none of them functioned satis-
'factorily. Machines have been in
use in New York for years and
have proven themselves very de-
pendable. Their general failure in
| this State will probably be revealed
to have been because of improper
| manipulation by the inexperienced
voters. It is also possible that
political thugs who don't want
honest elections deliberately put
them out of order.
