REV. A. R0UTZ MARRIED.

A wedding OF considerable inter-
est, particularly to the people Of
Orangeville, and other places where
the groom is so we'll known and
where his labors during the many
years that have passed have been
so successful. is that of Rev. A.
Houtz, of Orangeville and Miss
Sarah Agnes Neyhard of Brooklyn,
N. Y. The ceremony was per-
formed at the home of the bride
Wednesday morning by Rev. w.
T. E. Adams, of Edgewood Re-
formed Church, Brooklyn. That he
is beloved by his people was fully
demonstrated last evening, when
upon his arrival home, upwards of
sixty-6ve members of the church,
representing several different towns
gathered and rendered him and his
bride warm and cordial reception.

GUS uIsGUSTED.

The we'll known minstrel man,
Gus Sun, was in town this week.
He jumped all the way here from
Kansas City for the express purpose
of closing the Uncle Tom show
which appeared at the Opera House
Monday. Gus said the venture
was bad one. He invested $1,000
and every cent of it was lost. He
offered the entire outfit consisting
of pony, two blood hounds, scenery,
costumes, trunks and paper suffi-
cient tc last for several weeks. for
5000, but the proposition went beg
ging. He had never witnessed the
performance, Notwithstanding that
he was the owner, and before the
curtain was rung up he was at
loss to know why the people didn't
turn out in larger numbers. But
be found out. He was standing
Just inside the door, in the last act
when little Eva died and as Uncle
Tom, commiserating with her dear
papa, said "it's all over now mas
sa," he was overheard to remark.
Eyes and so is the d show"
In conversation with the writer
after the performance he said that S
the poorest Tom show l ever saw.
II Harriet Beecher Stowe had been
here tonight and seen the maltreat-
ment OF her grand old story, she d
murder me-" He was cogitative
for a moment and then concluded
by saying. "Well if the people Of
Bloomsbury will forgive ME this
time, l will promise never to perpe-
trate such fake on them again. "
He had reason to be disgusted.
1t was positively the rankest that
ever happened.

SALTZER'S MUSIC ROOM.

Others nay come and go, but j..
Saltzer stays right here. He has
been in the music business, selling
pianos, organs, sewing machines and
wash machines for many years and
his reputation for honesty and fair
dealing is thoroughly established.
His ware rooms, Main Street, below
Market Square, contain a full line
of musical instruments OF the best
makes and he and his son Blaine
are always ready to wait on their
customers. Blaine, by the way, is
a fine performer on the piano as
we'll as a good singer, and is com
petent to show the merits OF their
instruments. 1t is good place to
select nice Christmas present.

ORGAN RECITAL.

The organ recital to be given in
St. Paurs Episcopal church this
evening will be one which every
lover of music should hear. The
program is well selected, and in
cludes music which any one can
understand and appreciate. Mr..
William Powell Twaddell, organist
of Christ Church, Rye, N. Y. is a
performer of Unusual ability. Mrs.
J. K. Miller will give two numbers
on the violin, and she never fails to
please. No admission fee will be
charged, but a collection will be
taken up for the purpose of defray-
ing expenses, and for the purchase
of music, books, etc. for the choir.
1t is hoped there will be a large at
tendance, and that each one will
contribute a reasonable compensa-
ton for the character of the enter
tainment.

MUST STAND TRIAL.
Bruno Vicci, VINO Shot J. M.
FairChiIds, of Berwick. Held
for Court.
Attempted to Kill His Wife.

There are two charges against
Bruno Vicci of Berwick. One for
attempting to kill his wife and the
other for shooting J. NJ. Fairchilds.
He was given hearing before
Squire Jacoby Monday afternoon,
at which evidence sufficient to
fasten both crimes upon him was
produced. On the first charge,
that of felonious shooting with in
tent to kill, he was held under
$1,000 bail, and on the charge of
carrying concealed weapons, under
$500 bail. District Attorney Duy
was assisted in the case by c. c.
Evans of Berwick. Vicci had no
counsel.
The evidence against Vicci for
the shooting of Fairchilds was un-
controvertible. 1t was furnished
by Joe Borrella, and corroborated
by his wife. On the night of the
shooting Vicci was seen to run past
their house with gun in his hand.
The next night he appeared at their
house and admitted that he had
shot a farmer, but claimed that the
farmer had attempted to take the
gun away from him. He had warn
ed them not to tell anyone about it,
threatening to burn their house if
they did so, and it was for this
reason that they had not appeared
against him at the former hearing
Chief of Police Adam Clay
berger, of Berwick, testified that
on the fifth of November he had
taken a concealed weapon away
from Vicci. 1t was this evidence
that substantiated the second
charge.
Throughout the hearing, Vicci
sat quietly, and listened to every
word of the conformation without
any apparent emotion. He would
fix his gaze upon witness, and
would only transfer his scrutiny,
when another would take the chair
to testify against him.

To Protect Hunting Dogs.

The very latest proposition of the
sportsmen is the organization of a
club for the protection of hunting
dogs. Valuable dogs have been
poisoned and stolen out of face dur
ing the past four weeks and since
game and all other human fixtures
have been protected they are now
determined to stem the tide of dog
stealing and punish the thieves to
the fullest extent of the law. The
most effective way in which to ac-
complish this is the formation of a
club for the protection of the
CANNES.

EPIDEMIC FEARED.
The Small Pox Situation at Gen.
tralia Is Daily Growing More
Alarming,
Five New Cases on Tuesday.

The residents of Centralia have
cause for alarm. Scarcely day
passes that the disease does not gain
in extent. A new case was dis
covered on Monday, and on the
following day FIVE more were found
to be afflicted with the terrible
malady. The exact number of
cases at the present time is not
known, but there are at least twenty
afflicted ones. The Board of Health
has done everything in its power to
prevent the spread of the disease,
and have exercised every known
precaution, but their efforts appear
to be unavailing.
What makes the danger Of still
greater spread more iminent, is the
fact that number of cases, dag
nosed as chicken pox, the victims
having been allowed their freedom,
have now developed into small pox
of aggravated form. Ten families
have been quarantined, included
among them being that of Presi-
dent of the Centralia Borough
Council James Farrell, two of his
children being i'll.
The hospital is doing a great
work, though its accommodations
are limited. The staff consists OF
one doctor, two nurses, ward nurse,
cook and hostler.
The effects of the disease will be
felt at the coming sessions of the
Teachers Institute, as we'll as at
the December term of Court. None
of the teachers will be allowed to
attend the institute, and the cases
on the December calendar, crimi-
nal and otherwise, in which people
from that section are interested
will be continued.

ing, and Is Expected
to Recover.
HlTE GIVEN A HEARING.

The last few days have been
barren of any new developments
in the Northumberland shooting
sensation. Even the hearing
brought out nothing other than
was known. 1t was held before
Squire Fertig, at Northumberland
Monday afternoon, and resulted in
Hite being remanded to Jail with
ont bail for court on the charge Of
aggravated assault and battery with
intent to kill and murder. On the
charges of carrying concealed dead
ly weapons and breaking and enter
ing with intent to commit felony
bail was accepted in the sum of
FIVE hundred dollars. Chas. A.
Conrad. of Sunbury, was accepted
as bondman. Nothing new de-
veloped. Counsel for the prisoner
offered evidence in his behalf and
the commonwealth rested after
making out a prima facie case.
Fred Krebs and his mother ar
rived first. Hite handcuffed to
Officer Whalen, accompanied by
Constable Jones, of Northumber
land, County Detective Geise and
his wife arrived a half hour later.
As soon as the handouts were re-
moved from his wrist Hite took a
seat alongside of his counsel, Col.
Clement and J. F. Schaffer. Dur
ing the entire proceeding he sat
silent, nervously chewing tooth
pick and handling his handkerchief.
He looked pale and worn, but
seemed to take great interest in the
examination OF witnesses. His
wife sat at the other end of the
room, and it was only by the great
est effort that she kept the lump
from rising in her throat and tears
from flowing. Krebs for the mos,
of the time sat gazing at Hite, who
avoided looking in that direction.
1t was nearly three O'Clock before
Distric. Attorney Cummings ant
Walter Shipman, his associate, ar
rived. The formality OF reading
the indictments was dispensed with
DR.. Will L. Shindel testified as
to the woman's condition since hel
admission to the Mary M. Parker
Hospital. The body wound, ht
said, was the most dangerous anc
that a piece of ribbon had beer
carried in the neck wound by the
bullet. The wound below the lef
breast appeared to be made at {
close range and was distinct,
burned and powder marked, ar
indication that the body had no
been protected with much clothing
He considered the woman's chance
of recovery very good, but admitted
the possibility of reverse. but sale
it was not probable. DR.. P. H
Rem testified along the same lin'
and also stated that he believed tn
woman would recover.
The prisoners counsel asked t,
have the first two charges dismissed
claiming the evidence was Insult
ficient, but the Justice ruled ad
versely and fixed the bail. Th
Justice also refused to accept bal
on the higher charge and remande'
Hite back to Jail. Application viii
be made in Court next Monday t.
have the prisoner released on bail
and if Mrs. Krebs continues to i'm
prove the application will likely b
successful.
