NEWSPAPER OFFICE SCORCHED.
The Gazette Publishing Company Sustained a Loss Last Evening.

About half-past 7 o'clock last night an alarm was turned in from box 27, Eleventh avenue and Fourteenth street, for a fire which was located at 1425 Eleventh avenue, the plant of the Altoona Gazette Publishing company. The flames had scarcely gotten under headway until the firemen were on the scene. Naturally they knew little about the makeup of a printing office, but at the same time they went to work with a will and in a short space of time extinguished the flames.

As it was the loss was bad enough. Fine paper and newspaper for that matter were both destroyed. Edges of paper were turned down and wet and thus loss was made. However, the presses were kept intact and are ready to run to-day. The fire originated in the boiler room and from all indications came from some waste paper. It quickly burned away the stairway, thus impeding traffic between the two floors. On the second floor was the stock room. Into this a large portion of the water found its way but the flames were finally quenched.

The loss is estimated at from $1,800 to $2,000. On this there is an insurance amply covering any loss. The Gazette will be out on time this evening.

Hospital Notes.

Laura Lauver, of Millville, was treated at hospital yesterday for a dislocation of the right elbow. The sustained the injury through a fall on the pavement in the lower portion of the city.

W. H. Rhodes, of 1103 Twenty-second avenue, was treated for a crush of the first and second toes on the left foot. A piece of iron fell on his foot in the shops.

Other outside cases treated yesterday were: Maggie Woodring, Fairview, rheumatism; O. G. Parkhurst, 717 Seventh street, fracture of the seventh rib; Mrs. P. S. Sheehl, Eleventh avenue and Twenty-second street, ulceration cornea; E. M. Livingston, 1207 Seventh avenue, incised wound of index finger, left hand; Annie Fisher, 1506 Fifth avenue, tonsillitis.

HOLLIDAYSBURG HAPPENINGS.
A Melange of News from the Capital of the County.

Twelve extra policemen will perform Hallowe'en duty, to-night. Young American was on his turbulent behavior along Allegheny street last evening.

Hon. Josiah D. Hicks, Hon. Joseph E. Thropp and Hon. Robert C. McNamara composed a trio of honorables that stormed the county capital yesterday. "The combat deepens; on ye brave, who rush to congress or a political grave."

Mr. Martin Horning last evening expressed to the agricultural bureau at Washington, D.C., a monster pumpkin that weighed 119 pounds. This trophy of the garden will be entered for the $100 prize offered by the secretary of agriculture for the largest pumpkin raised in the United States this year. One day this week Major S. S. Barr read in an Altoona paper that Edgar Minnard, of Anderson, Indiana, had shipped to the national capital a pumpkin weighing 84 1/2 pounds, and that the same would probably receive the prize. The major with a view to promoting Blair county's agricultural interests hunted up Mr. Horning, with the above result.

In the trespass suit brought by the Elizabeth Lytle heirs against Hollidaysburg borough, to recover damages for injuries done to their lands by reason of the diversion of the waters of Blair's run, Judge Cyrus Gordon, of Clearfield, filed an opinion decreeing that the plaintiffs had not filed their appear in court from the award of viewers within the proper time. The viewers had assessed the damages at $900. The court held that appeals from the reports of viewers, to be regular, must be taken within thirty days after the report has been filed. In this case the plaintiff's appeal was taken thirty-two days thereafter, and plaintiff's attorney took the position that a filing with the prothonotary was not a filing with the court. Judge Gordon ruled that the prothonotary is the representative of the court when it was not in session. The filing of the report in this case, July 25, 1895, with the prothonotary was a filing with the court. No confirmation was necessary, and the appeal therefrom, August 26, 1895, was too late. An exception was noted to the plaintiffs in order to afford them the opportunity to take the case up to the superior court.

Certain depositors in the late bank of Gardner, Morrow & Co. last evening presented the following papers to the assignee: "We, the undersigned depositors in your bank, have learned that several persons withdrew their deposits from the bank a short time before its failure, they having been given some inside information that the bank was in a precarious position. We believe this is unfair and we therefore request you to compel these persons to return their deposits, so that they pay their share of the expenses and receive their pro rata of what might be left after salaries, rent, clerk hire, assignee's fees, etc., are paid." The signers to this paper think that this alleged information leaked out without the authority or the knowledge of either the partners or the clerks in the bank and they do not reflect upon these gentlemen. They base their claims upon a newspaper clipping from the Chicago Sentinel, which states that the receiver of a defunct Michigan bank demanded the return of $75,000 drawn out by depositors shortly before suspension, and N. F. Jamison, of Lansing, refusing to refund $2,800 of his own money thus withdrawn, he was brought before a court to compel him to "fork back" and help to pay the expenses. The clipping neglects to state how this novel legal procedure terminated.

TYRONE TOPICS.
A Wedding - Some Personals.

Joseph E. Thropp will meet his many friends in town this afternoon.

Major Robert C. McNamara, of Bedford, will be in town this morning.

The McKinley and Hobart club, of Tyrone Forge, Nealmont, Ironsville and Elkhurst, will take a trip to Altoona this evening and will join in a parade in that city. Colonel Burchfield is marshal.

The Little Daily Herald continues to display the name of J. D. Hicks in the column of the republican county ticket as a candidate for congress, when he has not been named in that convention. The Hollidaysburg Register has had the manliness to drop it. Be a man or a mouse or a long tailed rat and show your colors.

Sheridan troop armory will have connection with the long distance telephone for the purpose of receiving news on election night, and will be open to the public. A moderate admission fee will be demanded.

William D. McDowell, of Logan township, was in town yesterday as the agent of Tarring S. Davis, esq., chairman of the republican county committee, in distributing the boodle of $5 each to the several members of the county committee in this section, who will earn their stipends by hard and laborious work. His poke-in for J. D. Hicks will not take in some quarters.

At the home of the aunt's bride, Mrs. Nancy Bodley, on Columbia avenue, her niece, Miss Ella Bookhamer, and Harry M. Graffius, both of this town, were united in marriage on Thursday evening, William F. Taylor doing the handsome. The groom is the well known proprietor of the Farmers' hotel, in our city, and his bride is fully capable and well adapted to by experience and education to assume charge of his household affairs. The TRIBUNE extends hearty congratulations and the wish that they may live long and prosper.

In Memory of Mrs. Hurm.

One by one old friends and neighbors are being called home. In the death of Mrs. Paul Hurm we have lost one of those generous, kind- hearted women with whom it is a pleasure to meet, always cheerful and contented, a boon which all do not enjoy. We have known her for forty years and have found her always the same. When she, with her husband, moved to their present home, it was a wilderness - their nearest neighbor being about five miles, yet nothing discouraged them. They went to work with a will and both being of an iron constitution they have made a pleasant home with plenty and to spare, and no one ever went away in hunger or in need of assistance if such was worth of the same. But death has stepped in and severed the tie and sorrow is throughout that once happy home. Mrs. Hurm had lived the allotted time of humanity, and she is now gathered as a ripe sheaf of corn into the garner of eternal rest. Her aged husband is also nearing his journey's end, and it will not be long until they will again meet on that beautiful shore to which we are all hastening. To the children who survive her we would say, strive to be as cheerful and as happy as your mother and you will never be without friends in time of need. And to the aged husband and father, bear up in your sorrow, 'twill not be long. Rest will come when the care of this world is over and you meet your companion on the other shore, where sickness, sorrow, pain or death never enter. It is hard to part with loved ones, but God so ordered and we can but submit to his will, which is always for the best. Mrs. Waldburga Hurn [sic] is dead, but her many noble traits of character will live in the memory of all who knew her.

Will Show Election Returns.

The opera house management has completed arrangements to have the election returns announced from the stage on election night. A special wire will be run upon the stage by the Western Union Telegraph company, and the returns as they are received will be written upon ground glass, placed in the animatagraph and thrown upon the screen in front of the audience. Two performances will be given. The early returns will be shown during the presentation of "Fog's Ferry." The second performance will be made up of specialties by the Waite company.

In 1890 J. D. Hicks defeated Jackson, the democratic for district attorney of Blair county, by 1,256 votes. After the people had watched his operations in that office for three years, 791 of the 1,256 representing his majority concluded not to vote for him. He was elected a second time, but by the bare majority of 465 in a county not usually niggardly in such matters. His opponent, Kyle, was not considered strong, being comparatively unknown and none too popular.

Significant, isn't it?

When a man goes berrying it pays to take the whole family along. The buckets fill the quicker. But when he goes into politics' intricate mazes it were better to leave at home the good wife and the babies. Running for office is, and rightly, a fit pursuit for men only.

LOCAL BREVITIES
Brief Notes of Happenings in and About the City.

Miss Mary Nolte, of this city, has returned from a visit to Bellefonte.

The Wirbaugh desertion case has been continued before Alderman O'Toole until Monday morning.

Mr. Miles Kephart, of the Sixth ward hotel, who has been critically ill for the past few weeks, is now considered out of danger by his physician.

Miss Clare Aukerman, of 1905 Sixth avenue, will leave this morning for an extended trip east, visiting Columbia, Gettysburg, Harrisburg and Mount Union.

The 24th birthday of Terry Doyle, of Sixteenth avenue and Twenty- sixth street, was celebrated at his home last evening with appropriate ceremony. A large crowd of the young man's friends were present.

Hallow E'en Party.

A very pleasant Hallow E'en party was given last evening by Miss Carrie Kiefer at her home, 1434 Thirteenth avenue. Games, dancing and cards were among the amusements of the evening. A pleasant repast was served at 12 o'clock and at the wee sma' hours of morn all department for their homes much pleased with the evening's entertainment.

Hallow E'en Party.

Last evening Miss Maie Cowen, of 1427 Thirteenth avenue gave a very unique party to a number of her friends. Hallow e'en frivolities were indulged in until 2 o'clock this morning and at midnight elegant refreshments were served. The music was furnished by one of Altoona's famous orchestras. The young hostess did herself proud and an elegant time was had.

BELLWOOD BRIEFS.
A Lunch Box Social - Foot Ball Game.

Work on Cambria street is slowly progressing and by and by, the mudhole will be a thing of the past.

The Bryan bulletin board still continues to furnish more amusement than anything else of its size in town.

Miss Clara Lauver celebrated a birthday on Thursday, and since that day is the happy possessor of a handsome piano.

Wednesday night's spelling bee was quite a financial success. The honors were carried off by T. F. Lindsay, but closely contested by H. H. Meyer.

A lunch box social will be held in the basement of the Methodist Episcopal church this evening. Entertainment suitable to Hallow E'en will be furnished.

Lovers of foot ball will be divided to-day as both our home teams will engage in the sport. The first team will play an Altoona team on the foundry grounds while the second will try their skill at Juniata. A game on the home grounds yesterday between the P. & N. W. machinists and carpenters resulted in a score of 0 to 0 and a great deal of fun. The teams were certainly well matched.

The High School Won.

The Altoona High School foot ball team defeated the eleven of the Young Men's Institute last evening on the Twenty-seventh street grounds by the score of 20 to 0. Five touchdowns were made in two short halves of fifteen minutes each. The touchdowns were made by Lytle, Arble, Fair and Steele, the latter making two. On the kick-off of the Institute team Steele caught and with good interference made a run of eighty yards and a touchdown. Wilbur Steele officiated as referee and Wehrle as umpire. No goals were kicked, as there were no goal posts on the field.
