VOL. LXVIIL. INAUGURATED OUR DAN TAKES THE OATH OF | OFFICE. The Governor Takes Hold. ~Harrisburg | Decorated and a Big Parade the Fea- tures of the Day. Daniel Hartman Hastings was for- | mally installed on Tuesday in the | highest office in the second greatest | State in the Union, with the most im- | posing ceremonies ever seen in Harris- | burg on a similar occasion. With the | induction of Gov. Hastings into office, | all the departments of the State gov-| ernment again passed intothe control | of the Republicans, after four years of | partial loss of political power. | The new governor and his family were installed in the executive man- | sion, Tuesday afternoon, through the | courtesy of Governor Pattison, the re-! tiring executive. From 2 to 4 o'clock | Governor and Mrs. Hastings dined | with Governor Pattison and Miss Pat- | " tison at the mansion. On account of a severe attack of illness, Mrs, Pattison, much to her regret, was unable to leave i her home at Overbrook to attend the dinner. The inauguration was in many re-| spects the most attractive ever seen at | the State Capital. The city wascrowd- | ed with political clubs, the national guardsmen. and civil societies, who | commenced coming in Monday at] the break of day. The crowded thor- oughfares, handsomely decorated pub-| lic buildings and great gatherings of | distinguished men attest the populari-| ty of the new governor, | The executive mansion was trans-| formed into a floral palace by an army | of decorators and florists. The spacious | reception rooms, hall have decorated with plants, cut flowers and choice exoctics, The doors were thrown open to the public at 8 o'clock in the evening, and from the hour until 11 the were “at home been rare | new gover- to 1 nor and his wife everybody. The inaugural ceremonies commenc- ed promptly at 12 o'clock, and were over an hour later. Then followed the great parade. The ceremonies were continued at eight o'clock in the even- ing with a brilliant display of fireworks in Market square. The city was crowded with people to do honor to the new executive, and and pri- elaborate the decorations of the public vate buildings were more than marked the inauguration of any governor during the past 20 years. The handsome new excutive and libra- ry ; building was téstefully draped with of red, and blue bunting in great festoons and gigantic rosettes. The imposing facade was almost obscured by the vivid masses in with the gray-white solidity of the stone, makes a color mixture of warmth aud beauty, The west portico of the Capitol, in which the wew governor took the oath | of office, never looked as pretty. Im-| mense streamers of red, white and blue cloth stretched from a mass of flags at | the apex of the cornice down the base. | The huge columus were wrapped in similar colors, and from a distance | looked not unlike great barber poles. On the banks of the Susquehanna, | directly across the stteet, and facing | the executive mansion, was the re-| viewing stand, where Govenor Hast- | ings and cabinet, the justices of the Supreme Court and other State dig- nitaries reviewed the finest inauguraM parade ever seen in this city, The | stand was an elaborate affair, with a shed roof liberally decorated with the national colors and patriotic emblems. Governor Pattison’s staff’ took part in the ceremonies at the capital. The staff met this morning at the Com- monwealth Hotel and formed a per- manent organization by the election | of Governor Pattison president. The staff will hold a social session and ban- | quet once a year at Philadelphia. Lieut, Gov. Watres was sworn into office on the floor of the Senate cham- ber before Gov. Hastings took the oath of office out on the portico, Governor Hastings and party were greeted with much enthusiasm when they took their place on the portico of the capitol. Gov. Pattison stood by the side of his successor, flanked on the left by Chief Justice Sterrett. Af. ter a selection by the Third Brigade Band, Chief Clerk Smiley, of the Sen- ate, rend the certificate of election, The oath of office was then adminis tered to Gov, Hastings by Chief Jus. tice Bterrett, after which prayer was offered by Rev, W. H. Houck, of Ha- zleton, formerly pastor of the Metho- dist church at Bellefonte, of which the new executive is a member, Governor Hastings then began the delivery of his inaugural address, which was listened to with much at. tention by the large assembly. Its de. livery did not occupy more than 15 minutes, and at its close a salute was fired by Battery C, and then the bene diction was pronounced by Rev, |d Masses white of color, which contrast ies and the Governor and the party took carriages and rode at the head of the procession to the'reviewing stand, where they reviewed the parade. The parade moved from Third and | Market streets at the close of the cere- { monies at the capitol. The clubs and | organizations began assembling at 10 { o'clock in the streets assigned for their respective formations. A warning gun was fired on Capitol Hill at one o’clock {and a starting gun 15 minutes later, when the parade moved in columns of eight. Several thousand men were in { line, including members of the Na- | tional Guard, political clubs from all | parts of the state and volunteer fire companies. tee st Don't Want a Change Do you want a poor-house? This question the citizens of Centre county are to decide at the election, February 19. Districts that have many paupers poor tax, are likely to | vote strongly for a poor-house, expec- { ting that their taxes will be lessened. The most of the townships will likely | vote against a poor-house upon the ground that they can keep their pau- pers at home, under the township sys- cheaper than ina county poor- house, and there is some force in this. The temptation to steal has been found a great evil in many of the poor- houses, and taxes have been enormous in some counties on this account. The people of this county years ago { voted upon this question and by a large majority voted against having a | poor-house, and we are of the opinion | that such is still the temper of the peo- ple. A dp ty Want a Change. MUST NOT DISFIGURE BALLOTS, } i i { The Supreme Court Settles an Important | Election Dispute, In the contested election case school directors, appealed from quarter sessions of Lawrence county, the Supreme Court, in an opinion by | Chief Justice Sterrett, has settled an | important question as to the manner | in which persons, who are not named | upon the official ballot, may be voted for. The facts are these: At the election | held in Little Beaver township, in| February, 1804, many of the electors | procured printed blanket slips con-! taining the names of the be voted for, the titles of the offices, | ete. These slips they pasted on the right hand column of the official bal- let, which was devoted to blank spaces, and when thus pasted they obliterated all the titles of offices, the directions for marking, ete., upon the official ballot and substituted matters which were printed these slips. Cross marks were made opposite certain names in column, A contest arose and the court below | decided that the ballots so pasted and marked were illegal. An appeal then taken to the Supreme Court. sustaining the lower court, Bterrett quotes extensively from the ballot law, and in substance decides that while the use of stickers legal they must not be so large as to conceal the matter printed upon the official ballot. “To decide otherwise, Judge Sterrett, “would not struction, but judicial legislation of the worst type. Moreover, the use of such a blanket ticket or sticker would tend for | the | persons to | like | upon also this was In Justice is HA be COL~ It is predicted in some of the papers made to change the present license | The important | change proposed is to take the power | to grant licenses from the judiciary | and place it in the hands of county | commissioners or excise boards. This | change is not asked for by the people, therefore it would be well for the legis- | lators not to take a which they | would have occasion to regret hereaf- ter. No doubt many of the judges would like to be relieved from this re- but it questionable whether a change would prove satis. factory to the publie. A cont step sponsibility, is Fraodualent Pension. Joseph Conrad, aged 70, has been | : arrested and sent to Sunbury jail, for impersonating his dead cousin of the ' same name and drawing a pension on false papers, The prisoner was never in the army, but swore that he was the Joseph Conrad who served three years in company C, One Hundred | and thirty-first Pennsylvania vol- unteers. He was granted a pension a year ago of §I18 a month, with $100] back pay, and has illegally drawn over $300 from the United States treasury. He resides on a farm in Lower Augusta | | township, a few miles below Sunbury. | Getting Striet, WN I'he higher authorities of the Ro- | man Catholic church are getting rath- er strict. Not long ago an order was | issued forbidding Catholics from join- | | ing the societies of Odd Fellows, Sous { of Temperance or Knights of Pythias, | Now comes another order forbidding Catholic priests from attending base ball games, theatres or any hs amusement.

His wife was awakened by the and as she arose Pawling aimed the wea- pon toward and fired. By her movement in arising she saved her life, but she will probably carry the wound received to her death. Pawling, seeing that his wife had not been fatally shot, again raised the pon, and she, by a quick movement, managed to wrench the revolver from him, Pawling then left the house, drove to the home of his wife's y Mrs. Bohr, a mile distant. into the said, Bohr, the baby has been shot. want you to come to the away.” small and noise, her she wea and moth- Walk- “Mrs. and 1 ht house, he 2 house ri Accompanied by her he returned the house, left her there and drove to Daniel Huff’s, a neighbor.
