BRUMBAUGH'SHOMECOIMNG Governor elact Visits Scenes of His Boyhood and Is the Quest of the People of Huntingdon (Spe.iAl to tlie Star-Independent.i Huntingdon, Nov. 11,—When Gov ernor-elect Martin 0. Brumbaugh crossed the Juniata river, beiow Mount I niou. yesterday on h « way to receive the splendid welcome that diluting.lon county hail prepared for its favorite sou. lie was surprised at the reception lie received at the railroad stations. When Mount I'niou station loomed into view " M. (!." and his party were surprised to find nearly the whole pop ulation of the brick city amassed about the station, a large proportion being school children, waving tings, cheering and calling for a speech. The conductor held the train a few minutes and the crowd had the pleas ure ot hearing the new Governor. At Mapleton depot and Mill Creek, although not regular stops, the crowds were so large that the train was stop ped two minutes to allow him to say a few words of thanks for the tine sap port given by his home countv. When the train pulled inlo the I anion depot at Huntingdon he was i welcomed by citizens from all over the | county as well a* the town, amid I cheers. The Governor-elect was taken to the Broad Top depot to catch a train ; for Marklesburg, twelve miles south ; where ho spent the afternoon at the ! old homestead with his happy father and two brothers. An old-fashioned welcome home was I given him by the little town and by the farmers tor miles around, many of j whom knew him as a boy when he had j worked in the woods with his father. i Returning to Huntingdon in the even ; ing. he was met by Republican County Chairman Samuel I. Spyker and Chic Marshal John S. Bare and a large re ception committee, who. amid cheering , crowds and red fire, escorted him to I the van of the parade, which marched to Juniata College and back through cheering thousands lining the decorat ed streets.

CONFESSES DOIBLE MIRDER Farmer Makes Statement That Salves Long-standing Mystery By Associated Press, Pougiikeepsie. X. Y.. Nov. II. —The death of George Vosourg and his wife in their lonely farm house near Pine I Plains during tl.e Christmas holidays of 1912 was stripped of its mystery to- I by the alleged confession of John Wood, a farmer. Wood told the Dis ! trsct Attorney and the Sheriff that he and three companions slew the couple with an as. robbed them of SBOO and then burned longer a matinee idol, Mr. Drew more intense iu the interpretation of his plays, and therein lies his splendid ability—in his naturalness. His pla» presented at the Majestic theatre to a large and appreciative audience, wss "The Prodigal Husband," a new comedy by Dario Nicodema aud Michael Morton, two young collabo atenrs who are of the best playrights now engaged iu welding words ami actions together for the entertainment of the public. It was a very funny play, and it took a company such as Drew gathers about him to interpret it and bring out of it all of its humor and clever ness. It is a story of a husband sep arated from his wife because of his prodigal habits. He adopts the daugh ter ot' his concierge who died at his home. The daughter grows up to he a beautiful girl and gossip links her name with that of the husband to such extent that he determines to leave France with her on a world-wide jour ney in order to save iier good name. The girl, having iu mind the re conciliation of the man and his wife, hastens to the latter's home in Brit tany. whither the man, believing that she had eloped, followed her. The - he meets his wife again, a reconcilia tion. planned by the adopted daugh ter. follows, and evervbodv is happv. Of course. Mr. Drew', as the prodigal husband, took first honors. He simpi* had to be John Drew and that wis sufficient. It went without saying tlir.t his acting was line and the interpreta tion of his role tine, but he had some what of a company that was far above the average. For instance, there was Ferie Godschalk, an eccentric comedian long a public favorite, who played the role of a drunken roue who was cor tinually "'getting in wrong," mid who had a faculty for proposing to ever woman h t « met. Mr. Godsehalk is :« perennial bloomer ami he, too. never grows old or boresome. Grace t'arlyle, the injured wi;'e, wm au instantaneous favorite, although she appeared in but the last act. Her intelligence *nd pleasing personality won her a place at once in the esteem of the audience. Little Helen Hayes Brown, the adopted daughter in t'>e tirst act was winsome and intelligent, and in the second act was succccde t by Martha Hedmau, a charming young actress wiio has learned her profession in a good school and gave it an added grace by her intelligent rendition of a very difficult role. She is exceeding ly pretty and has a charming stage presence. Rose Winter, as one of the fa-t Parisian set. had an unpleasant red", but she made it very interesting by her cleverness. It was a good company all the way through, and it gave an even rendition of the play that was enjoyed by every body. Most noticeable was the . fact, that the star did not appropriate a!l o' the "fat" parts for himself, but shared them with the others, v.-hieh is a Drew tr;«it he inherited from li t mother, the famous manageress of by gone days, and famous as a star, it was a nice, neat, clean play well pin v. ed. And yet—it was French!
