Hastings on Top.

BELLEFoNTE, July 24th.-Al-
though there are still number of
precincts to be heard from, these re-
turns cannot affect the previously
announced result of the Republican
primary election held in Centre
county on Saturday, which was car
ricd by the candidates supported by
formerGovcrnor Hastings, bya large
majority. The Hastings factionw will
control the county convention which
meets here Tuesday and will elect
S. ii. Williams, of Bellcfonte, and
George Gowland, of Phillipsburg,
delegates to the Republican State
convention. The opposing forces
who are followers of Judge Love,
favored S. b. Miller of Bellefontc,
and j. W. Dunwiddie, of Phillips
burg. Returns so far received give
the Hastings people G7 delegates
and the Love side II. Calculations
ON the complete returns place the
final result at 20! for Hastings to
2lA for his opponents. The indica-
tions on the county ticket favor the
nomination of Jacob S. Herman for
sheriff, j. X. Thompson for treasur-
er, Nelson f. Robb for recorder,
James b. Strohm for register and Nj.
+. Riddle and George Scholl for
cuunty commissioners.

was kept tor him. Saturday night
their vigilance was rewarded and he
was made Il prisoner 10y Officer

walked out ofthc court house un-

the time arrived for taking the pri-
soncrs back to Jail when the deputies
discovered that they were one man
short. He was awaiting trial for
the burglary ofShapiro Bros cloth

had not been reached ut the time of
his escape.
He wil!now have another charge to
answer in addition to his indictment
for burglary and will no doubt stay
