CENTREVILLE
Tavern of Mr. Righter
Centreville, at the intersection of the Durham and York roads, is the largest, containing an Episcopal church, founded nearly half a century ago, two taverns, a store, mechanics, the Hughesian free school, and about twenty dwellings. The tavern of Mr. Righter has been a famous road-side inn, in its day and generation, and it numbers considerably more than a century of years. Under its roof, the "Bucks county committee of safely" held one of its earliest meetings in 1775, and in it General Green, for a time, had his headquarters during of the most trying periods of the Revolution.

DOUGLASVILLE, BERKS COUNTY
KLINE'S Hotel
HORSE THIEF CAPTURED
Douglasville, Berks county, is greatly excited about the theft of a team
stolen from Harrison LORD. The team has been secured at Harleysville where
the thief, Philip FOSTER, has been apprehended. FOSTER was in the
neighborhood of Harleysville since last Saturday with the team, but managed
to keep well under cover in the hills and finally sold the animal for $30.00,
retaining the buggy and harness, which he was also trying to sell when taken
into custody. After the horse was stolen last Friday Mr. LORD placed the
matter into the hands of Detective Jack O'CONNER, and he had a description of
the outfit and the stranger printed on postal cards which he mailed out in
different directions and likewise 'phoned to all available places in this and
adjoining counties. One or two of these descriptive cards reached
Harleysville about the same time FOSTER put in an appearance there and
therefore his movements were watched. After selling the horse FOSTER appeared
at KLINE's Hotel where he was placed under arrest. Constable KEISER, of Lower
Salford, swore out a warrant before 'Squire BOORSE on a local charge. When
arrested he had $27 of the $30 in his pocket and this sum was recovered. His
constant bobbing around in that locality with the team after he was suspected
created some excitement there and the good people were actually preparing to
form a vigilance committee for the purpose of running him down, when his
arrest was made. The aggragated expenses attending the chase will foot up to
about the value of the horse, but Mr. LORD feels satisfied that it ended in
the capture of the man.

KULPSVILLE
LICENSE GRANTED
The application of Isaac R. CASSEL for a Hotel license at Kulpsville, was
granted on Wednesday morning, the following opinion being filed: For more
than forty years there were two licensed Hotels in Kulpsville. The house for
which application is now made, held one of the licenses for that period.
There are no other Hotels in the township. Several years ago the same person
became the owner of both licensed houses. He allowed that of the one house to
lapse so as to secure a monopoly of the business for the remaining house.
This monopolization of the Hotel business does not prove the non-necessity
for the other license. If the necessity existed for the past forty years, we
may safely assume that the necessity still exists. The witnesses declare that
there is a necessity for the license. There is no evidence as to any changes
that call for less Hotel accommodations. If the properties had not fallen
into the same hands, no doubt both licenses would be in force. We are opposed
to multiplying houses where intoxicating liquors may be sold. The very few
licenses granted within fifteen years were all cases where necessity was
clearly proved. We do not consider the present application for a new house.
It is in fact a relicensing of an old stand. Under the law we are of the
opinion that it is our duty to grant the same, and the license is now
granted.

MERTZTOWN
MERTZTOWN THREATENED WITH ANOTHER BIG FIRE
The large new barn on the farm of Uriah BIERY, at Mertztown, which is
tenanted by William BUTZ, was entirely destroyed by fire late Thursday evening. The
fire was discovered at 10.30 o'clock having started apparently on the upper
barn floor. It gained rapid headway and almost baffled the rescuers of the
cattle, all of which, with the horses, were saved. A stiff wind fanned the mad
flames and carried showers of sparks up-town. The rainfall of Wednesday had
dampened the roofs of structures, however, and through this alone the fire's
spread was prevented. Scores of citizens formed a bucket brigade and with a
good water supply from a tank at the home of Uriah BIERY, which is but a stone's
throw away, saved a few small buildings, Mr. BIERY's residence and the Hotel
Biery which is just across the street from the barn. The barn which is a
large Swiss structure, with very large farm crops, the farm machinery, a number
of wagons, the wagon shed and a number of smaller outbuildings were
completely destroyed.

PHILADELPHIA - PENN'S LANDING
The Tun Tavern (the "Tavern")
was a brew house built by Samuel Carpenter in 1685. It was located on Philadelphia's historic waterfront at the corner of Water Street and Tun Alley leading to Carpenter's Wharf near what is today known as "Penn's Landing."
Historically, it is regarded as the "First Brew House" built in Philadelphia in 1685, and among the very first in the country. Carpenter's purpose in building the Tavern was to commence the development of the Philadelphia waterfront which he intended as a site for various businesses. The Tavern soon developed a reputation for fine beers in the City of Philadelphia and maintained that reputation for over a century. Its name is derived from the old English word "Tun" meaning measured cask, barrel, or keg of beer.

PALM
FOUND DEAD IN BED
Circumstances unusually distressing attend the death of Marqueret CRUMMER, a
young woman, whose home was at 1136 North 40th street Philadelphia. While
hemorrhages of the lungs was the cause of her sudden end, the fact that none of
her relatives were near and could render assistance makes it very sad. Miss
CRUMMER was about twenty years of age and was spending a month at the Palm
Hotel, for the benefit of her health. Up to the time she went to bed on Sunday
night she appeared to be in good spirits. About 7.45 o'clock Monday morning a
boarder occupying the next room to Miss CRUMMER heard her coughing. When Miss
CRUMMER did not get up for breakfast an alarm was made at her room and as no
response came, the suspicions of the boarders were aroused and they secured
a chair and looked in the room through the transom, but failed to see her in
bed, then investigation by a window, at the porch, was made and her lifeless
body was revealed lying between the bed and window with large spots of blood
around her. Dimming Bros., the East Greenville undertakers were summoned,
who took charge of the body. Her family was notified and on Monday evening her
brother came. Tuesday morning her body was shipped to her home where
interment was later made. At the time the body of the unfortunate woman was found
Nathan LEESER the proprietor of the Hotel was away from home and none of the
rest knew her name nor the address of her parents and for several hours there
was great excitement among the many boarders who are quartered at the Hotel.

origin is a mystery. Sanatoga Inn was one of the old landmarks of upper
Montgomery county, and, under the name of Crooked Hill Hotel, was a famous
stopping place for drovers and stage coach passengers more than a century
ago. The earliest known of its history dates back to the year 1800. In 1814
Henry WITDERMUTH became the owner. At one time there was a general store
conducted in it. The Hotel became a stopping place for stage coaches when the
line between Reading and Philadelphia was established, and horses were
changed there. In 1822 a postoffice was established there. The loss will be
about $5000, only partially covered by insurance.

choir, daughters of Nathan RENNINGER, of Perkiomenville, proceeded to the
open sheds to get their teams to drive home. Just as they were in the act of
loosening the hitching strap the horse suddenly jumped backward and tore the
blind-halter from off his head and at once started at a fearful gait down the
road leading the village; when turning the corner at the turnpike the top of
the buggy broke loose and landed on the pavement on the opposite side of the
street. The horse however continued his mad flight up the street striking
trees and hitching posts by the side of the road until a strong post in front
of the residence of Benjamin NASE was struck where the horse tore himself
loose from the partly demolished buggy. The horse being loose, soon turned
and came running down the street at break-neck speed and ran into the yard at
EMERT's Hotel where he was caught and taken home. The horse received no
injuries but the carriage and harness are an almost total wreck. As there
were numbers of pedestrans and carriages on the street going home from church
and the runaway team dashing through them at a terrific speed, it is a
miracle that no one was injured. Several pedestrians however, very narrowly
escaped by jumping the pale fence into the adjoining yards.
