ANOTHER CRASH, A Philipsburg Bauk Goes Under, Caused by Heavy Runs, Following closely upon the crash of the Houtzdale and Clearfield banks, came the closing of the doors of one of the banks in Philipsburg, which went under on Monday morning, The reason given for closing by Cashier O. P. Sones was the heavy run of last week, and the quiet checkingout of the principal de~ positors. Jonathan Boynton, fathersins 000 of the stock but the fact of his con~ nection with the institution created a feeling of unrest and suspicion, whieb The people of Philipsburg do not doubt The general weakness of the market and the inability to have first~class local paper discounted in the East forced the closing. The bank is a private one, and was known as the Philipsburg banking company. A rumor has reached here that two Eastern banks that held Dill’s paper have closed, but the rumor is not well enough founded to give the names of the institutions. At Houtzdale the excitement has quieted down. The people have gone back to their work and will await developments, The bank there will pay over fifty cents on the dollar, outside of the First National indebted- ness, An Enormous Output. That the good housewives of the sec- tion are taking advantage of the bounte etc., and are laying up great quantities of canned goods, is tin cans, jars, etc. One firm in Centre Hall informs us that they alone have gold over ten tons of sugar in the past season, and there are several other firms in Centre Hall whose sales have aggre gated fully as great. Tin cans were scarce last week avd could not be pur chased in Centre Hall, Spring Mills Bellefonte, or any place in the valley. All dealers were out of same and the supply was not equal to the demand. Manufacturers of glass jars and earthen~ ware are reaping a harvest this year, but there will likely be =a loll in the busi. ness next year on scoount of the people being overstocked with the goods. Sev eral car loads of crocks have been sold by our merchants and they are barely able to keep up the stock to supply the demand. a] o A Bnake Story. James Platt, of Juniata township, while out hunting squirrels a few days ago, discovered one of the frisky gentry in the top of a large oak. While mov ing around to get a shot at it he was more than startled to see a huge black snake drop at his feet from the leafy canopy above, a distance of twenty-five or thirty feet. The snake had evident- ly climbed the tree for a meal, and had secured it in the shape of a small gray squirrel which it had two thirds swale lowed when it fell to the ground. Mr. Platt killed the reptile which measured over five feet six inches in length.— Huntingdon News. Judge Bucher Moved to Tears. Judge Bucher, of Lewisburg, was mows ed to tears last Saturday, while upon the bench, when Alfred Hayes, at the close of the September term of the Uns ‘on conaoty court, read an address signed by both the Democratic and Republican members of the bar. The address pays high tribute to the ability, impartiality, fairness and faithfalness of Judge Bach- er's administration in the courts of Un-~ ion, Bnyder and Mifflin counties daring the past twenty years and hopes that the people of the twentieth judicial district will continue him on the bench for another term, ss I PL Horse Stolen, Thieves entered the stable of George Youngman, of Williamsport, last Sunday night, and stole therefrom three bay horses. A set of single and double har- ness, and a spring wagon were also taken, one of the animals being hitched to the wagon and the other two being led. The horses and thieves were capture at Mid- dleburg, Snyder county, on Monday afternoon, Robbery at Milton, While the people of Milton were in at tendance at the fair last Thurday, three houses in the town were entered and robbed. About $100 in money was secured besides a lot of jewerly and silver ware, the whole thing amounting to about $700, No clus was found upon which the officers could work. Large Stock: Jacob Kern, of Madisonburg, raised from a piece of ground, 10x36 feet six and one-half bushels of Woodhall pos tatoes or at the rate of seven hundred and fifty bushels to the acre. He also has a cucumber that weighs six pounds, and measures three feet, three inches in circumference one way and thirteen the other.

When the ladies make up their minde to accomplish some good, they invarias bly succeed. This we have often ob= served, and have a recent proof of it, within a short distance of the RerorTER office. Over two years ago, the Presbys terinn ladies of the Centre Hall congre- gation—and their numbers are few, with very few male members—took in hand the erection of a much needed church in this place. These noble women perses vered, gave of their own money liberals mde, engaged in sociables, and the like, and working thus in continued harmony, Sabbath, two weeks ago had the satisfac. tion of seeing their labors crowned with neatest churchee in this part of the state, and free of debt, All praise is due these noble women, upon whom mainly the success of the enterprise depanded. Another instance we give in the ef- forts of a number nf the women of the Lutheran church, who have given thems selves to the good work of raising means for extinguishiog their church debt. By quiet work they have raised, in about eighteen months, thro the Bazaar, upwards of $500, In addition the ladies opened the Lutheran lunch rooms du- ring the recent picnic week, from which were realized $3063 above expenses. Thus, thro the efforts mainly of these good ladies, about one half of the debt resting upon their church is about to be cancelled, All honor to the women who gided in this work. If these noble wo- men continue in their work, a complete wiping out of the debt must follow, If you desire a good work to succeed, just get the ladies to take it in hand, rc — An Interesting Experience. Ope evening last week, while Bamuel Meyers was coming down the mountain, he stepped on what he thought was a round stick in the middle of the road, but was quite startled from the manner in which it lopped against his leg, and discovered he had disturbed a snake, which endeavored to strike him with its fangs. Sam made a mighty spring, but the snake still showed fight and follow. ed him, and he backed around in a ring with his snakeship clesely following, it being rather dark he could not readily find a stone to do battie, and concluded that by taking to his heels he would some day be able to again enter into an engagement with the snake, which he did, and made some mighty quick tracks the mountain. He said he and was about four feet in leugth. John Henry Cut ln Twe. On Saturday morning a most harrow ing accident occurred om the railroad near Philipsburg, in which John Henry, a miner, met an untimely death. He had been farnishing music for a party, out in the Third ward of the town, and retarning about 4.50, he reached a place down on the track. Being under the ine fluence of liquor he did not notice the approach of the early passenger train, duos at Philipsburg at 4.50, and before the train could be stopped he was run over and his body completely severed at the abdomen, Deceased was 30 years old and leaves a wife and six children. " Appies Very Chasp. Apples can be purchased very cheaply throughout this section, and the prices for the same are quite in cootrast with that of one year ago, when apples could hardly be purchased for four or five dol- lars a barrel. Fine winter apples are a drug on the market at ten cents a bushel and thousands of bushels will go to waste, The cider mills are having a boom and enough cider hes been made in the valley to overflow Sinking Creek. Cider is offered as low as four cents a gallon with several bushels of apples thrown in, A A oi Proclaim Liberty. This country is becoming very patriotic allat once. Some one is sending out re. questa to all the ministers of the world that they should preach a sermon on Sunday next, October the 11th on the discovery of America by Columbus. The following text bas been assigned them: “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land,” This will necessitate a large num- ber of ministers studying the United States History, as some of them have nearly forgotten old Columbus, Fell Out of a Window, Mrs. Margaret Little, aged 85 years an old and respected lady of Hughesville met with an acoident at her home in that place Tuesday evening that resulted in her death.

The Houtzdule Bank Suspends, Following closely upon the suspension of the Clearfield National bank came the announcement of the closing of the doors of the Houtzdale bank, of which Mr. Dill, president of the defanct Clears field bank, also figured at its bead, It was a private concern. The bank had many Huns and Slave, who had deposits in the concern and when the clos ng of its doors became publio, excitement was at its height and a general suspeasion of business followed. The foreign deposit~ ors were frantic in their endeavors to dent, At a meeting of the directors of the Houtzdale bank, held Monday, Messrs, Jones Westfield, William A. Pollock aud A.D. Btewart were appointed a commit tee to represent the depositors in all fur- ther steps taken to protect the deposit- ors, and were instructed to obtain Messrs Murray & Gordon, of Clearfield, in addi« tion to local counsel. The committee was instructed to have a warrant issued charging W. H, Dill with the em bezzle- ment of upwards of $100,000 of the banks fands. The court has appointed Messrs, John Beyer, of Medero, and John W. Dickey, receivers, and in pursuance with instructions of depositors’ commiitee, receivers swore oot the wairant John B. McGarth, cashier, will be the principal witness, and is anxions to give the depositors all the information in his power, The individual prosecutions against Dill have been withdrawn since the action of the committee. A dispatch to Lawyer Patterson, attorney for the receivers, from Jonas Westfield, at Clears field, states that the bank examiner has ordered the arrest of Dill, Unofficially itis learned that a brief examination made by the receivers in the benk, dis covered the following assets, Cash about $200,000; securities, $50,000; real estate, $10,000, certificate of deposit in First National bank of Clearfield, $15 000. The deposits amounted to $200,000 The receivers, it is stated, also found in one of the books receipts in the hand writing of Mr. Dill for $105,000 which he had taken from the bank, The depesit- ors are determined to push the case as far as the law will permit, The bank examiner, Miller, found $10,000 of false entry and straightway had Dill arrested, and a justice placed the bail figure at $20,000 but it was not raised. Then later another false entry of $30,000 was found. At Clearfield the situation has changed very much for the better, and it is now believed the failure of the First Nation- al bavk will be traced to the carrying of too great an amount of buisness paper, and that no evidence of fraud will be shown agsiost President Dill. The Unis ted Bates authorities have fixed Friday next for a hearing of the case, and if the bail asked is not excessive, should the evidence warrant the holding of Dill at all, the bail will bse promptly fortheom~ ing. The family of Dill have the sympathy of the people. While Dill appears cool in his present situation it is known that he is laboring under a heavy strain men- tally. He states that he does not want bail, and if he has done anything wrong he asks to be taken to jail. The mid. night gang of lynchers reported consist. ed of three Hungarians, one of whom caught Dill by the arm and said. “Me want my money,” He was promplly hustled away by an officer. Another warrant was issued for Dill charging bim with embezzling $85,000 from the Houtzdale bank. Dill being apable to secure bail was taken to jail, Mrs, Dill went with her husband. At Houtzdale the excitement has given way to a feeling of greater confidence, and a belief that depositors will be paid in full, that it may not be for some time. The liabilities of the Houtzdale bank are now placed at $185,000 with asvets, not sounting any credit in the Clearfield bank, amounting to $105,000. It is stat ed on good authority, that Mr. Dill in- stead of taking the eighty or eighty-five thousand dollars to Clearfield and give ing no oredit therefor, debited the amount 80 taken on the books of the First National and due the Houtzdale bank, Fire at Snew Shoe, Taesday's Daily, News saysis telephone message from Snow Shoe this morning contained the information that the Pennsylvania railroad depot ai that place was burned to the ground, with all its contents, at half past six o'clock this morning. Fortunately there was not over one hundred dollars worth of freight in the depot and this, with the stoves, desks, eto, constituted all the building contained, No one seems to know just how the fire originated. When the sta- tion agent went from his home to the depot, about half past six ¢'clock. he saw smoke issuing from the building and, upon hie arrival, he was horrified to find the building one mass of flames inside, As there is no fire protection in Snow Shoe, nothing could be done to stop the devouring element and in less than one balf an hour the entire building was a To, Duneaunos.
