Beixefonte, Pa.. Oot. 10. T S if in keeping with the line of tbe At day, even tbe heavcNis opened and shed tears of sorrow in copious liu showers of rain, wbicb fell since early in tbe night, and tbe gloom with overshadowed B. lk'f onte whs thus made even more afectini. And yet notwith BtandinK tbe inclemency of tbe weather the crowds that assembled in tbis boun tiful mountain town to pay the last tribnte of respect and honor to the memory of one bo dear to every patriot heart, ex-Governor Andrew Cttrtin, was numbered by thousands. Prom inent men from all over the state and adjoining states were here, nmonir the number beinc Governor Pattison, General John R. Brooke, Colorsol A. K. . McClure, Colonel William B. Mann, Jndge Craig Diddle, Morton JIcMichael, Judge Landis, Jerome B. Niles and hundreds of others. The first pnrt of the funeral services held was a citizens' meeting in the court house ui 10 o'clock, when that building was packed to overflowing with friends of tbe deceased. Judge Farst opened tbe meeting in a brief and very appro priate speech, and General Beaver rend the minutes and resolutions of the Center county bar association, which were adopted. Brief tributes were then paid to the life and memory of tbe deceased in most fitting terms by several gentleman. Colonel Will iam B. Mann, of Philadelphia, was the first speaker. Colonel Mann has been a lifulong friend of Governor Curtin and the tribute paid by bim whs one of the most affecting of tbe day. It was the outpouring of the sor rowful heart of a brother and was tempered with tears which rolled down his cheeks. Speaking of Car tin's love for tbe soldiers, Mr. Mann said that he had said to tbe men when enlisting, "Go forward boys and fight for your conntry, and when you come back onr baskets and storerooms shall be opin to you." And everybody knows how well that promise was kept. TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD. Governor Pattison was Introduced and paid a touching and glowing tri bute to the memory of Curtin, saying that be bad always regarded bim us the man next greatest to Lincoln. Sen ator John Scott, or Philadelphia, also spoke very feelingly aad touchingly, but it was left for Colonel A. K Mc Clure to pay the most tonching fare well tribute. Iu part, Colonel Mc Clure said: Governor Curtin laid down the policy of this govenment. In bis first inaugural address be laid down tbe policy that gov erned nation tbrongh all that disastrous war and every line he then said was ful filled in blood and crystallized with tbe saving and prosperity of this nation. Governor CnrtiD, we tell you is dead. He bas passed from among us, but he is not dead. There will be a porpetnal spring time, a perpetual renewal of life. God lias created nothing that dies, and bore over the bier of our loved one is tbe place to declare it Tbe soul will live immortul forever. Tbe sun may sink behind the bill tops, and we call it night. And bo tbe night bas come. We carry tbe body of Uovernor Cnrtin to the tomb today, bnt from generation to generation bis memory and bis example will be as bright stars of light to every lover and worshipper of a free government.

One of tho pathetio incidents ot this hour wss the march of tbe 1,000 school children of Bellefonte past tbe casket to take a parting farewell, and very few of tbem indeed tbere were who failed to drop a silent tsar. In death, is the cold, silent form reposed in the handsome saaket, Governor Curtin looked very natural, even lifelike. His features were composed as if in sleep, and one almost expected to see the magnetio eyes again open and hear words of wisdom flow from the lips now cold in death. At 10:45 tbe body was taken back to the Cnrtin residence and tbe religious services commenced promptly al 2 o'clock. Tkey were opened with the reading of an appropriate selection and prayer by Dr. Robinson, of Allegheny, after which Rev. Dr. Laurie, the pas tor in charge, delivered a beautiful and affecting sermon tonching on the many noble qualities ot tbe deceased.

INCIDENT AT THE ORAVE, One incident worthy of note which took place at tbe grave was tbe placing ot two carnations on tbe coffin before it was covered in tbe vault by Comrade Owen Jones, of Pennsylvania Reserve post 191, of Philadelphia. Ssven years ago, when Governor Curtin attended tbe annual reunion of the reserves at Lancaster, be exactod a promise of Mr, Jones that when he died the latter should drop a red flower on his coffln, and Mr. Jones was here today to fulhil his promise at that time given.

SIX persons were killed, fourteen were injured, and fonr missing men ana women are believed to be bnried by a partly finished building which fell upon and crushed to the ground a smaller adjoining bonse, in Monroe street, between Pike and Market streets, at 3:45 o'clock tbis morning. Tbe wind that blew so strongly from the northeast caused tbe disaster, but bad workmanship, it is believed, the result of parsimony, is mainly responsible for it. Tbe following is a list of the vietims: KILLED. Bertha KArtoNEB, AS years old: death caused by a board piercing the abdomen. AnitAHAM Kauoner, son, 9 years old, fractured skull. Jennie Speiner, 60 years, suffocated. Heyeh Si'EixEit, her husband, 63 years, suffocated. Solomov Karoner, 21 years old. One unidentified. missiso. . Bessib AURAJlS. Hosns Ahuams.

FALL OF THE BUILDING, At 3 45 o'clock this morning a watch man, Walter Bryan, was standing at Pike and Monroe streets. He said ho had been watching a phosphorescent light in tbe skv right over the new building, when like a stroke of black lightening, ns he put it, ho saw the wall split from the root to the ground. Iu a moment, daring wich he saw nothing, tbe building had vanished. It took several seconds for him to realize what bad happened. Tbe street was filled with dust and the air with wild cries. Rain quickly laid the dust, and then tbe causo of the shock and roar, which had aroused the people for blocks around, was known. The new building had fallen forward (northward and westward). It was seven stories high and bad crashed down upon a two-story dwelling, No. 73, carrying the smaller structure to the ground, a mass of debris. Out of tbe wall of the dwelling No. 70 Monroe street, the falling structure curried away enongb material to leave the third-story rooms exposed. The people in them ran out in dismay, but were not at all injured. As tho neighbors ran to the scene figures were seeu squirming out of the mass of bricks and niotar. The first to get ont was Michael Kroner. Others of bis family followod, but all bad to be helped ont. When all in sight were got out, groans were beard in certain places, and here the crowd dug away to save tbe bnried. Four more were extricated, more or less injured, in a short time. Then tbe firemen arrived and went to work systematically, sav ing all the list of injured and others not named, whose wounds are slight. One by one tho dead were carried out and laid in the midst of the frantic group of inmates of tbe little house, No. 72, to be identified. THE WORK OF RESCUE. All through the forenoon the firemen and a gang of laborers, under T. D. Gallagan. the authorized excavator lor snoh disasters, dug in the rains, At 12 o'clock the firemen heard dis tinctly till moan of a man in tbe ruins under tbeir feet It was a dangerous place, and the work of recovering and releasing the man below bad to ba done slowly. It was not long, however, be fore a hole wns made tbrongh which he could be beard breathing huskily. A fireman asked bim if be was all right. "Yes, bnt help me, wosthe answer, A few minntes more digging and tbe man was drawn out Dr. Roberts of tbe Gonverueur hospital said he was only slightly injared externally. The man's name is Jacob Karoner, 25 years eld. He bad been given up as dead by bis relatives. At the same moment, in another part of tho rnins, ths hand and arm of one body and the trnuk of another were reached. These wore not taken out for an hour. Members of tbe families who crowd ed around tbe pile ot ruinB, ran 'back pale and frightened, when they heard the sounds. It was only tbis borror, that could keep tbem away. Tbeir bleeding beads and faees they did not heed, though some of them ongbt to have gone to the hospital. All the in mates of the house were of two fami lies, the Karoners and the Abrams.

Tbe Mahone people and my own friends who have heretofore opposed the Mahone faction are working in harmony, and tbere is no trouble in tbe party any where in tbe state. In the wealthier part of the state, in the district where the white vote predominates largely, tbere is a very strong protection sentiment, and tbis will be felt in the November election."

Skirmishing Near the Yalu River, The Goal of the Invasion Apparently Port Arthur, and Not Pekin A Wise Change of Purpose. Shanghai, Oct 10. T IS stated on good authority tbat a large force of Japanese has been landed near New-Chwang, at the hoad of the Gulf of Leao-Ton, and tbot the capture ot that place within a few days is regarded as inevitable. Various local rumors are in circula tion bere, the most prominent being that 40,000 Japanese have landed near Shangbaikwan. The telegraph wires have been cut, thus hindering com munication. The report that the Ja panese have landed near New-Chwang is classed here ns unreliable. A letter received here from Tien- Tsin says that during the projtresB ot a large lire tbere on f riday last the China Merchants' Godown volunteers protected the settlement and are now patrolling the streets from sunset to sunrise. It is reported that several Japanese warships have been sighted oil Taknar. A dispatch from Tien -Tain today reports that tbe British and Russian Ministers have arrived there, and that they will proceed at ones to Pekin.

Tbe Times com mentintr npon the report of the capture ot Cho-Foo by the Japanese and tho landing of troops at Tarascada, says that if these reports ara trne tbe Jap anese bnve at least shown tbeir hands wisely in deciding to avoid an attack npon Pekin. Tuey have apparently decided to attack Port Arthnr. and, it is stated, have disembarked troops in a Day to tne northeast ot tbat, piaeo, wmcu is wen suited to rorra a base ot operations. The garrison may now number lO.UOO men. Like many places provided with ex travagant coast defenses, Port Arthur has a back door. In selecting tbis as tbe place of attack the Japanese are following tbo bast precedents. Tbe conditions have many points of resem blance to those of Sebastoool. The Japanese should he able to isolate Port Arthur, and, holding undisputed com mand of the sea, maintain their own line of supplies. This being tbe case, the fall of Port Arthnr should be only a question of time, Iu face of tbo com ing winter, which tbe Chinese can bet ter endure than tbo Japanese, tbe latter have every inducement to hasten the attaok, and are unlikely to undertnke farther operation for the present The ''Standard" published a letter from Pekin stating tbat Li Hnng Chang's nephew, Li Ching Chn Sherg, the Total and Yuan, another official, are charged with selling 250,000 piculs ot Chinese rice to Japan in the early part of the year. The rice was sent one of the country by moans of duty free passes, which were obtained under tbe pretext that the rice was for the relief of famine snllsrers in (Jorea. Tbe letter adds that the public demands the execution of the officials as traitors. RVSSIA HESITATES. A dispatch to the Times from Simla, India, says that surprise is felt there because of the non-reeelpt of ordors to expedite tbe dispatch of tbe rllle bri gade to Hong Kong. A dispatch to the Standard from Ber lin snys tbat Russia has not yet joined the European entente for the protection of Europeans in China. Tbe dispatch adds that the North German Gazette comments ironically npon the opinion ot the American minister in Pekin, who advises the removal of the wives and children of foreigners from Pekin to Shanghai in view ot the probable Jap anese attack npon the Chinese capital. Tbe paper says that be bas no means of learning ot the Japanese movements. A dispatch to the Times from Ber lin Bays that Hear Admiral Hollmann will start for China Oct. 20.

University of Pennsylvania Eleven Wins a Game With the Crescent Club. Philadelphia. Oct. 10. In two twenty-minute halves the University of Pennsylvania foot ball team this afternoon defeated tbe strong team of tbe Crescent Athletic club, oi Brook' lvu, by tbe score of 22 to 0. As tbe Crescents held Yale down to ten points on Saturday, the game today was look' ed npon as affording an opportunity of showing tbe strength of Pennsylvania in comparison with tbat of their big rivals. Pennsylvania bas a star back-field in Kulps Gelbart, Osgood and Brook1, and if the line can be strengthened by practice and the interference developed into something like regularity Prince ton and Harvard will have to look after tbeir laurels.

FILEY'S The only place where you can get your umbrella re-covered while you wait One who discards a hand some umbrella handle, one to the form and symmetry of which possibly he has become attached uud an entirely perfect frame, sim ply because the cover has become torn or has worn into unsightly holes does not, what is doue in three caws out of four, but tho most natural thing, which is, destroy it. The cause of this sort of wastefulness heretofere an ex cuse which never can be urged again has beeu entirely due to the trouble aud expense of having a new cover put on the old frame. No one thinks of the umDrella until it is needed, the holes in itare only remembered when it rains. But if the careful owner gives heed to its condition the trouble of find ing a re iablo repairer and the usual cost of the job are such as to deter one from a repetition of the experiment. Tho average travel ing umbrella mender is the moat monumental of delusions, his work ia only too apt to leave the uniber ella much tho worse for his atten tion. In our patent adjustable uniherellu, cover we have an invention that forever removes all excuse for this waste of good handles and frames and does so in a practical, direct way that cannot fail to commend itself to the most exacting, Thi' cover ia sor" constructed of such sizes, shapes and qualities that no matter what the frame nor what the taste of its owner, a suitable cover may be bought for from 65c. to $.'1.00, and they are so construct ed that tho least practical person can adjust it in few miuutes aud have an umbrella in every par ticular aa good as new. No novel ty in the umbrella trade put upon the market in the last decade has met with fuch immediate success as has this adjustable cover of which we have the sale agency for this city. 510 and 512 Lackawanna Ave. MINERS' Wholesale ana RetaiL H.
