It wasnot so very strange after all. for the report contained some very pointed instructions to our public of. ficals ard reflected greatly upon the manner in which our public buildings are kept by the present Republican Sher- iff and Board of Commissioners. The down town smutt machine known as the Gazette, did not have the consist. ency and fairness about it to publish it but attempted to discuss its merits in an attempt to abuse and malign the foreman of that body. Then it m ade mention of a few of the suggestions and omitted the vital parts in the document. Feidler is too mu ch of a coward to pub- lish the report but tries to make his read. ers believe that there is nothing in it of importance, and says they find the “Jail in good condition,” in the head- ing of an article in his last issue. To commence. he can find nothing of the kind in the report but is another at- temp to deceive his readers. To show how unfair and cowardly his article was he quotes a portion of a paragraph which says that *‘they find the cells in a cleanly eomdition,” but there he stops. The next sentence in the report says. bor to subscribe. —Prof. W. A. week and found time to pay our | Krise, was in town LAE sanctum a short visit. ~The M.

They have a number of fine attractions this year, and the fair prom- ises to be a big success, —~We are glad to note that our young friend Charley Noll, who sustained serious injuries while in the employ of the telephone company at Lock Haven, is able to walk about the house and is improving rapidly. ~The new gas plant at the nail works was fired up last week and turned out gas with ‘a vengeance. Workmen are new busy putting in the attachments to heat the boilers and furnaces when the utility of the new concern will be prac- tically tested. ~The “pic-nic pickings’ in Monday's Daily News containe wonderfnl (?) amount of information of the following order: ‘‘Peanuts, ginger bread and bologna sansage will be in demand.” ‘Perhaps the pickpockets will be there, beware of him."’ Such valuable infor- mation is worth a whole years subscrip- tion. 3 nelle UAE U ~Mingle's shoe store is one of the old and well established business houses of Bellefonte. They do not sell goods away below cost or give them away, but handle solid and reliable goods and sell them at the most reasonable rates. Anything bought of them will always be found satisfactory in every instance, Don’t forget 2fingle’s shoe store when in Bellefonte. «An Italian by the name of Rosch was arrasted and taken before Justice Foster this week charged with assault. ing John Sechler, employed a Ardell’s planing mill. The fellow is of a quar. relsome niture and had to give bail for good behavior. W. E. Gray, Esq. came to his rescue and signed the papers for that purpose.

We have been digressing from theme. There is another phase of that report the Gras’ not mention and that was the shabby con- dition of the Court House. This is the gravest charge of all. This sum. mer the appearance of our Court Houre was a disgrace to the county an eyesor: in Bellefonte. cuse made was that the commissioners did not have time to have it put in de. cent condition. Five minutes atlintion from an ordinary set of men would have settled that matter, but the slipshod, easy — going Commissioners could not find time (?)—when they in fact lave been lounging around the Court House all summer, drawing their six dollars per day, and doing comparatively noth ing. Yet the most important part of this report was not mentioned, that part which refers to the misuse of the pub. lic buildings and is given in full in an- other part of this paper. Our Court House during the past year has been turned into a regular town hall for the use of every sideshow or exhibition that traveled in this section. Now the tax. payers did not build it, and do not maintain it for that purpose, but the Commissioners who were usually were favored with complimentry tickets, took a different view of the matler, This report of the Grand Jury was based upon facts and rendered by a body of men sworn to peform their duty. It was a stinging rebuke to the Sheriff for carelessness abont the jail and a censure to the worthless and incompe. tent board of Commissioners, It veri. fied the statements made in the Dem. ornAT heretofore and again plainly points out to taxpayers of Centre county the great folly in electing such men to office, ont which dared ard The plea or ex- Misstonary Meetting.

After the burning of the Kaufi- man property, Mr. Rodgers received an anonymous note saying that his barn would come next, He took all precat- tions by hiring a watchman to guard his building constantly, but on Tuesday evening while the watchman was at supper, after he had been absentonly a short time, Mr. Rodgers’ barn was discovered in flames. The fiend had accomplished his work of destruction most skillfully, and though he was re- ported to have been seen and shot at by a neighbor, he eascaped capture. Detectives are now working on the case, and a reward of #500 is offered for the capture of the party or parties who have been guilty of the incendiarism.

The animal started down the hill on a gallop and Beezer and Bosch jumped out. The runaway horse came in eollision witha team standing in front of Sternberg's store. The result was that the buggy was badly mashed and the horse tore the harness and got away with a few slight injuries. Mr. Geo. Winkleblech, of Haines township, puid our office a short visit on Tuesday morning. Mr. Winkle. blech was one of those unfortunate vie- tims of the flood last spring, and made a most mirmculous escape along with his family from drowning. Mr. Win. kleblech early in the spring of this year purchased a small house about wwo miles above Coburn, along Pine creek. The night of the flood the waters rose #0 mapidly that they could not make their escape from their house to higher groursl, Their house was soon raised from its foundations with the family in it, and was broken into fragments by the angry wales as it was swiftly born down stream. When the building broke apart Mr. Winkleblech clung to a part of the roof and took a three-yeae-old child in his arms and in the darkness floated down stream. ‘They soon lodged against something, when a flash of lightuingjrevealed to him that they were aginst the trunk of a tree.
