The superior court, which recently held a sitting at Williamsport, has banded down a decision of vital ime portance to property owners, It isin substance that the owners of the prop- erty upon which a person receives an injury caused by a defective sidewalk is liable for damages, and not the town. Wise property owners will see to it that their sidewalks are in proper condition. Fs A Good Counterfeit. A remarkably good counterfeit of the half dollar of 1808 is being extensively circulated.

The New Telephone Company at Work on the Centre Hall Line, The new Commercial Telephons Company has started the work of ex- tending its lines to Centre Hall, and the plant witl be installed as rapidly as the weather will permit, and in the course of a few weeks the system is ex- pected to be in operation, The directors met at Bellefonte on Tuesday and took up the Centre Hall and Penns valley extension. It was the sentiment of the officials to push the work right through. Yesterday managers McCormick and Smith were in town and over the route locating the poles, The trunk lines will be brought over Nittany mountain from Plea ant Gap, instead of making a wide detour of twenty miles around by State College as first intended. Across to Tusseyville and Potters Mills, the poles are on the ground. Once Penns valley is wired, the lines will be ex- tended to Woodward to connect with the Home Telephone Co., of Lewis burg, giving the patrons of each com- pany the service of both districts free of toll. Forty or fifty phones of the new company are now working in Belle- fonte, and many more will be placed. edie - Weather Qutiook, the 1 | cross the west of Rackies country close of the 18th, great central 19th to 21st, eastern states 22d.

Bltover, a respected farm- er living about one mile north of Woodward, attempted suicide on Mon- day morning, by cutting his throat, during a temporary aberration of mind, Mr. Stover is a man aged about sev- enty years, and has resided in that community for about ten years, hav- ing removed there from Nittany val- ley. For some time he bas been a vie- tim of melancholia, during which pe- riods he would become mentally irre- sponsible. It was during one of these attacks Monday morning he left the house and wandered out to the fields, taking with him a bunting kuife, His absence from homé was at once noted and a member of the family instituted search. He was found in a field lying in a pool of blood. With the hunting knife he attempted to cut his throat and had made deep and ugly gashes on each side of the throat under the jaw. The jugular vein and main arte- ries narrowly escaped being cut. Dr, Musser, of Aaronsburg, and Dr, Braueht, of Spring Mills, were hur- riedly summoned, and succeeded’ in checking the flow of blood from the wound. The cuts required a number of stitches to close, Mr. Stover had | lost a great quantity of blood and his life hung in the balance for a couple days, but may probably recover, He was a sullgrer with severe attack of | dyspepsia, and having no domestic or re A RRA Te OANA de DEPOSED FROM OFFICE The Dewocratic Postmaster at Philipsburg | Removed, This week President McKinley sent | to the Senate for confirmation the ap- | pointment of A.

Wings David Klepper, who resides in Cole ville, a suburb of Bellefonte, conceived the idea of making a pair of wooden wings with which he could sail in the air with the birds. The wings complet- ed, he went to the top of the house, where he adjusted them to his ars and jumped off, but instead of flying, he went to the ground and came very near falling on his mother, who : thought he was the evil one, grabbed i & hoe and belabored him unmereciful ily. Assoon as David ggot loose from his harness and at a safe distance from his mother, he commenced to explain his actions to her and ended by saying that when he jumped from the top of the house he forgot to flap his wings, hence his fall, tp pt Sunday Sehool Convention A Sunday School Convention will be held in the Court House in Belle fonte, Thursday, March 25.
