DEDICATION OF THEIR NEW HALL. A large Attendance of People-Magnigh cont Parnde~The town handsomely dee orated—Good Musie, For weeks past members of the Inde. pendent Order of Odd Fellows, of this place, have been anticipating a grand demonstration in Bellefonte, when they would dedicate their new hall. The lodge at this place is one of the old ands well established secret organizations of our county and its membership, while it is very large, is composed of representa. tive men of the community. Their apartments are located on the third floor of the Crider building, on High street and the diamond, which they oc- cupied during the past three years. On Tuesday evening we made a visit to their rooms just to see what was going on. There were a large number of members present and were discussing matters that would require their atten. tion the nextday. The main hall looked exceedingly handsome under the glow of the gas lights, This apartment is furnished in fine taste. The furniture is of the best; a costly brussels carpet covers the floor, while the decorations appropriate to the order and of the richest material, in the different partsof the room, give the whole a pleasing effect. To add to the beau. ty, young ladies of the town had trimmed and decorated the room ever- greens were over the windows; evergreens and flowers almost hid the entire chan. delier, except the lights from view, while banks and mounds of flowers were lo- cated about the room with rare taste. The outside of the building was dec. orated with bunting and the motto of the order; a large flag of welcome was suspended over High street. At the court house considerable taste was dis played. A large banner was erected on the front of the trees which bore the words ** Welcome,” sarrounded by na- tional colors which were continued and wound down the trunks of the trees The massive columns in front of the court house were wound about with red, white and blue and could be dis. tinguished from afar. Nearly every business house in Bellefonte had flags, lanterns and bunting displayed upon the front of their places with “I. O. O, F. Welcome,” inscribed upon centre pieces. Many private residences were trimmed likewise and that morning the town looked like it did the morning of the recent 4th of July celebration. very THE PARADE, Promptly the lines began to move at 1:30 p. m. The streets were filled with people to view the procession which was composed of uniformed bands and the various lodges with banners. The fol. lowing is the order in which they came. FIRST DIVISION.

It is designed that no one shall hold more than 81,000 worth of stock in the con. cern, and that it shall be distinctly a citizens banking institution. A canvass on Monday morning, occupying not more than two hours time, secured the promise of one-fourth of the amount of capital stock that will be required, and those having the project in charge are most sanguine of their ability to raise the balance with very little difficulty, As soon as this is done, a meeting of the stockholders will be called, the necessa. ry directors chosen and all the require. ments of the national banking laws car- ried into effect. suspended Philipsburg banking pany can be secured the new institution will likely occupy the same.

Attacked by Wolves, A few evenings ago while Jacob Bart. ges, of Green Burr, Clinton county, was returning home from Logan Mills, he was attacked by five wolves. The Jour. nal states that he clubbed one of the animals nearly to death, and this scared the other four away, which gave Jacob an opportunity to make his escape from that dangerous locality. Hereafter he says he will stay at home at night, Hinle and Hearty Jonathan Hess, a ninety-one year old citizen of Linden Hall, is at present taking a trip through Kansas visiting relatives.

F.

John P. Harris, cashier of the First National Bank, who is well booked politics, says the republican state ticket mn will be elected dy good majorities and | the democratic majority in the county greatly reduced. Mr. I. A. Shaffer, the present Pro. thonotary and chairman of the demo- cratic county committee, says their party has made no canvass of the county, that in all probability there will be but one democratic meeting held in the county during the campaign, unless more funds are supplied. He expects a light vote, as there are no county officers to elect except Jury Commissioner, and the prospects are that the democratic ma. whilst that of Lieutenant Governor was 1,400. He will be dissappointed if this year’s majority is not between thirteen and fourteen hundred. Ex-Governor A. G. Curtin, who isen- opinion of the result of this fall's elec- tion. He said he saw no reason why Centre county should not give its usual Democratic majority this fall, and that the party had more than a fighting chance in the state, and if the dewnocrat. ic managers did not lose their heads, which was possible, we might expect the election of Wright and Tilden. Bismark Heinle, one of best informed and shrewdest democratic politicians in the county, upon being asked his opin. fon of the political situation, said that the democratic majority in Centre county this fall will be much below last fall's and that the republican state tick. el will certainly be elected, and that McKinley will be elected Governor of Ohio by a good majority. Charles Kurtz, Esq., editor of the CEXTRE DEXOCRAT, who is blooming into a first class democratic politician, says, there will be a small vote polled this fall, and he don’t think the demo. cratic majority in the county will be up to that of last year's, and that if the honest republicans through the state, who are disgusted with the Bardsley business, vote the democratic state tick. et, there would be a fighting chance for Wright and Tilden’s election. With the harmony now existing in the republican ranks the democratic majority in the county this fall should not be over 450, as after dilligent en- quirys of persons from all seetions of the county, we cannot learn of a single re. publican who will not vote for Gregg and Morrison. A Tough Cow, One of John Stoner’s cows in jumping over a fence caught at one of the sharp palings which penetrated her body to the depth of twentytwe inches and broke off.
