Echoes From the Past
Fifty Years Ago
On Monday Mr. Thomas Benner |
will start in as one of Uncle Sam's |
post ofMice officials at this place. |
Editor Fledler's post office force
will be Thomas Benner, George
Washington Reese and Joe Harris. |
Persons are sending in their or-|
ders for seats at the opening of |
Garman's Opera House, Ome ol
the best attractions will be obtained |
for that occasion and if you want a
good seat leave your order early
with Al, Garman.
This week workmen commenced |
tearing out the old front of the
vacant room in the Brockerhoff
House block. All the fronts of the
store rooms will be remodeled and
when finished will be the most de-
sirable rooms in town. The build-
ing is to have a new mansard-roof
along with other improvements.
There will be grand stereoptican
treat next week in Bush's Arcade,
for the benefit of Gregg Post Chari-
ty Pund. Prof Sheckler, who will

man of fourteen years' experience!
in the business and his views are of |
the latest and greatest interest and
variety. Admission 15, 25 and 30
cents. All seats on sale at Keich-
line's.
The street commissioner's mud
crossing at the post office is a
dandy job. Give him a leather
medal. The construction of the
road up on Curtin Slreet is an-
other reminder of the bad manage-
ment of our borough's affairs. The
street was dug out like a canal for
water to collect in it and make it
almost navigable. That was an
expensive measure and unneces-
sary and foolish,
Although the Republicans had a
majority of nearly one hundred
voters in Bellefonte, a borough
election Tuesday found Democrats
elected as Burgess and Overseer
of the Poor. W. F. Reber, Dem. de-
feated J. Kyle McFarland for Bur-
gess by a vote of 466 to 346; George
T. Bush lost the office of Assistant
Burgess to W. I. Swope, Rep.:
Charles Cook, Rep. was elected
treasurer over H, Sechler; 8. D.
Ray, Rep, won out over John
Keichline, Dem. for Tax Collector;
Thomas Donachy, Rep, lost to
James Schofield in the race for
Overseer of the Poor; and H. B
Pontius, Rep., was victorious over
James Barnhart for Auditor.
The church at Curtin appoint-
ment, Howard charge, Altoona dis-
trict, was reopened on January 28
by Rev. E J. Gray. D, D. The re-
pairs on the church consisted of a
vestibule and tower, and painting
outside, papering and painting in-
side, a new pulpit and chandelier
and a window in memory of Philip
Antis, the founder of Methodism
in Bald Eagle Valley. The cost of
these repairs was $740, of which
$350 was to be raised on re-opening
On the morning of the 26th. Dr.
Gray fireached a sermon of much
power, after which he asked for
$350, and when the congregation
was dismissed $200 had been pledg-
ed. In the evening before preach-
ing the finances were again pre-
sented to the congregation and in
a few minutes $165 was secured
making a total for the day of $365
Then the Doctor again preached
with wonderful power. The con-
gregation was intensely interested
and wonderfully wrought upon

On Monday morning an exten

Willlam Grove one mile west ol
Roogsburg. The family had mot
gotten up when one noticed the
barn in flames, The progress ol
the flames was so rapid that they

the horses. The barn was con-
sumed in a shorty time with all its
contents, which irjequded dmple-
ments, hay, grain and livestock.
It was partly insured. The origin
of the fire is unknown and as it
occurred before any of the family
had arisen, it seems certain to have
been the work of some incendiary.
