Harps ster. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. E. Fischer, of the Lutheran church. About fifty guests bad assem- bled and were anxiously awaiting the ar- rival of the bridal party into the rooms. At exactly eight o'clock, the time desig- nated, the bridal party made their ap- pearance. They were preceded by Mr. Barr, brother of the groom, and Miss Cora Sweetwood, of Centre Hill, who on entering the room stepped aside and al» lowed the betrothed couple to face the minister. The knot was quickly tied and the divine blessing invoked upon the newly wedded couple. Congratulas tions were then indulged in and many they were and varied in the extreme, all however, joining in wishing the couple a future life of happiness and prosperity. An elegant repast was then served. Small tables were placed throughout the room, to which the assembled guests were invited to be seated, and the re- freshments then served would undoubt- edly have developed the appetite and satisfied the crayings of a cormorant, The couple were afterwards serenaded by the calithumpians who fairly made the town howl. The groom is a young man who is ens gaged in business interests in Jeanette, Westmoreland county, Pa. to which los cality the happy couple took their des parture on Wednesday morning's train, where in the future they will continue to reside. - sl The Commissioners Indicted. The Grand Jury in their report lo the court last week recommended the remov- al of the water closets in the rear of the court house. This was only a repetition of the Grand jury reports for the last three years, On Wednesday, however, as soon as the Grand jory had presented their report the court recalled the grand jury and instructed District Attorney Meyer to prepare a bill of indictment against the county commissioners, charg- ing them with maintaining a public nui sauce in the water closets, The bill was prepared and sent to the Grand jory, which body of men in a few minutes re- turned a true bill of indictment against commissioners Frank Adams, James Strohm and George L. Goodhart, The court then stated that the bill would be held over until the next term of court in November, to give the com- missioners an opportunity to abate the nuisance. The commissioners wers very indignant and would like, along with the court to see the nuisance re- moved, but to do so will be an expensive proceedure. asinine George Miller Dead. George Miller, of Penn Hall, died a few days ago. Mr. Miller at une time was a well-konwn landlord in this yal- ley. Hoe kept a public house at Asrons- burg, some thirty years ago, afterwards kept the Old Fort hotel, then the hotel at Spring Mills. Owing to paralysis of the lower limbs, Mr, Miller the past ten years had been obliged to use cruiches, and retired from business, to a home which he purchased near Penn Hall. He was the father of a large family of children, among these are John H., of Rock Springs, Mrs Will Keller, of Lins den Hall, Robert, lale of Centre Hall, and several others whose names we do not remember, His age was some 70 years, wl ———— How he Got Left.

This week a paper was circulated among our citizens to be signed by them petitioning the town council to make an appropriation for street lamps. The pas per asks for only about twenty lamps and that one person be employed to keep them in order and under his super- vision, There is no doubt about it, but that the town needs a little more light upon its streets and the object of the pa. per is a commendable one. The council will likely consider the question at the 8t, John Coming, Let everybody be sure to attend the picnic at Grange Park on the 16th of this month, and bear Ex~Governor St, John, of Kansas.

It took place at his home near Shamokin, on Baturs day last, after a lingering illness. About two years ago while assisting in loading a car load of prop timber of the lumber job which he operated, he was unforto~ nate enough to receive a severe fracture of the leg below the knee, the bone pro- truding through the flesh, The wound never fully healed np and he was troube led with a running sore, and finally ter- minated in his demise as above stated, death being caused by gangrene. Amos was a large, healthy, robust man, weigh~ ing over two hundred pounds and was of a very genial nature, making many friends during bis two years’ residence here. The funeral of deceased took place on Wednesday. Religious Services During the Pienie. Religious services will be held on Grange Park on Bundy previous to the opening of the picnic. The services will be conducted by ministers of three Cen- tre Hall congregations, who have con- sented to officiate. They will be held in the large tent or auditorium.

The ministers have appointments in their respective churches on that day at Cens tre Hall, but have consented to hold them in the park. i — Tramps Fight to Kill. A hand-to-hand fight occurred at Clearfield on Monday afternoon among | a large party of tramps. Clabs, knives, and stones were used. Pete Becaddins and an unknown man were fatally stab. bed. Three others were badly hurt. Citizens became alarmed at the protracts ed battle and called npon the Sheriff to interfere, but before he and bis deputies reached the spot the six principal ag gressors had fled, although three of them are said to be badly cat. The Sheriff then called together a posse of citizens and staried in pursuit, returning late at night with two of them, who are now safely lodged in jail. The men arrested refuse to give their names, and will be held to await the result of Scaddin’s and the unknown man's in juries, both of whom are now reported unconscious and likely to die. There is great excitement in sad sbout Clears field.

Wolves Killing Sheep. The past two months hundreds of sheep have been killed in the southern end of Westmoreland county, sand in every case the slaughter has been at. tributed to dogs, but it now appears that the wholesale killing has been done by wolves. Several packs of these flerce brutes have been seen by hunters lately on the ridges in the neighborhood of Mechanicsburg. A traveler passing over that wild mountain a short time ago was followed for miles by a pack of the wolves and only kept them baok by fre quently firing his pistol, cua ss A SP Mp Court.

Next he showed a number of $20 bills which looked like the genuine currenoy, als though it was somewhat worn so as not to arouse suspicion. After thinking he had gained confis dence in the proprietor he revealed the | seorst, and told that the bills were conn terfeit, and that he had them made and rubbed them to make them look old and genuine.
