A TeRrIFIC RAILROAD WRECK AT
| MiLEsBURG.—Last Friday night one
of the most extensive and destructive
wrecks that ever occurred on the Bald
Eagle Valley railroad bappened near
the station at Milesburg, which involv-
ed a heavy destruction of property, but
fortunately caused no loss of life. The
train which met with this mishap was
an extra freight made up of a great
many cars loaded with coal, coke and
building stone and drawn by engine 86,
of which David Reed was engineer and
Harry Mease fireman. This train left
Tyrone some time after 8 o'clock.
When it reached Milesburg a misplaced
switch ran it into a siding on which
was standing a number of cars loaded
with building stone, and coal. There
was a terrible crash and as soon as the
collision occurred the engineer reversed
his engine. The result was that the
cars piled up until at some places the
wreck was thirty feet high. The rail-
road was torn up for nearly seventy feet,
and within a radius of nearly one hun-
dred feet there was nothing but coke,
coal and building stone and broken
cars, some of the cars being literally
fractured into kindling wood. If the
accident had occurred a little further
up it would have torn the depot build-
ing to pieces. The engineer and fire-
man were taken so suddenly by the col-
lision that they had not time to make
up their minds What to do. If they
had jumped on either side the probabili-
ty is that they would bave been crushed
to pieces in the wreck. They stuck to
the cab of the engine,and fortunately for
them, while the body of the engine was
knocked into a wreck the cab received
no injury, and both the engineer and
the fireman came out unhurt.
C. P. Stonerode, ticket agent at Miles-
burg, was standing on the side track on
to which the train was switched, talking
to the conductor of the train that was
standing on the other side track waiting
for the train from Tyrone to pass. But
instead of the train going by as it would
have done if the switch had not been
open, it came upon them so suddenly
that it almost caught both of them.
Harry Candy, of Howard, & brakeman
on the wrecked train, was on the first
car from the engine, and when he felt
the jar he jumped, fortunately escaping
from being caught in the wreck; other-
wise he would likely have been crushed
to pieces.
Immediately upon the occurrence of
the accident the wreck train at Tyrone
was telegraphed for and shortly after
1 o'clock a crew of twenty men were at
work clearing up the shattered frag-
ments, and by nine o'clock the next
morning the track was in condition for
travel to be resumed. Thestack of the
engine was knocked oft and the front of
the boiler burst and other damage
done to it. Master Mechanic Beamer
estimates the railroad company’s loss of
cars and motive power, besides the work
of clearing the wreck away, at $10,000,
which he says is a very low estimate.
TRIAL OF A MrNisTER.—The trial of
Rev. W. F. D. Noble, pastor of the
Houtzdale Methodist Episcopal church,
before a committee appointed by confer-
ence, came off in Houtzdale last week)
with closed doors. One of the charges
against the accused minister was brought
by Rev. R. H. Colburn for a false state-
ment made by him. In a dispatch to the
Phila. Timss concerning the proceedings
of Conference, and another charge makes
Noble guilty of making an ungentle-
manly proposition to a female member
of his flock. The motion to have the
trial secret seemed to come from the side
of the prosecution. Many ministers
were present. The case will likely go to
court, whatever the result of the eccle-
siastical trial may be.
BELLEFONTE WILL CELEBRATE. --
The editors of the Express acknowledge
the receipt of an invitation to attend
Bellefonte’s grand demonstration on the
Fourth of July. The programme will
include a grand demonstration by the
fire, military and civic organizations of
that city and jihe surrounding towns.
As the display promises to be a fine one
our regret is all the greater that previous
engagements to remain at home and
hurrah for tha P. O. S. of A. will pre-
vent the editorial force of this paper from
going to Bellefonte. —Lock Haven Ez-
pr ess.
——Thursday night of last week a
fight occurred at a dance on Trout Run,

— Messrs. J. S. Waite & Co desire
to inform the public that they have se-
cured a blacksmith to take the place

employ without giving any reason
whatever. Their new smith is the equal
of all and the superior of many in the
profession hereabouts, and they solicit a
continuance of your patronage and will
strive to give satisfaction i you give
them a trial.
DISGUSTED WITH AN APPROPRIA-
r10N.-The Philipsburg Journal is evident
ly disgusted with the amount of money
appropriated for the hospital at that
place, judging from the following re-
marks it makes on that subject :
One of the last acts of the Legislature
| that died last week was to cut down the
appropriation for the Cottage Hospital,
of this city, to $10,000, or $5,000 per
year, for two. years. It ought to have
been double this amount to make some
very much needed improvements. The
small pittance of $5,000 per year will
oblige the trustees to run things on a
very scanty basis to meet actual expen-
ses, giving them nothing for improve-
ments. Some institutions, very much
less worthy,but where favorites have, an
opportunity of getting rich in a little
while at the people’s expense, fared
sumptuously. It’s a small piece of bus-
iness, but then this Legislature is noted
for having been one of the most worth-
less in the history of the State, and we
should not have expected very much
more from it. Perhaps by the next
election the people will take a hand in se-
lecting our legislators.
Diep IN Towa.—News is received of
the death of Mr. Philip A. Barnbart,
which occurred on the 2nd of May, ult.,
at his home near West Union, Iowa.
Deceased belonged to the well known
Barnhart family of this county, having
been born in the Bald Eagle Valley,
May 25th, 1826, consequently he had
nearly reached his 65th year at the time
of his death. In his boyhood and early
manhood he lived with his father on
his farm near Mount Eagle. His first
wife was Eliza Ann Beach, who died a
short time after their marriage. Some
years later he married Mary Elizabeih
Antes and soon thereafter moved to
West Union, Iowa. They lived happi-
ly together until the time of her death
which occurred on the 2nd of July last,
Mr. Barnhart became converted at a
camp meeting near Salona, Clinton
county, about the year 1845, and from
that time he lived a life that was in all
respects worthy of imitation. Blest by
nature with a strong constitution,the la-
bors of his life were performed with
great cheerfulness. He had always a
pleasant word for all; everybody was
his friend and he was a friend of every-
body. To his kindred he was warmly
attached, and many were the kind acts
done by him which are pleasantly re-
membered by his friends.
A Gay Dgecerver.-—-W. R. Swett
was a very nice appearing man who
came to Philipsburg from Michigan pre-
vious to the burning of the Grant par-
lor match factory, and was employed in
that establishment. He was a person of
good address and engaging manners,
and soon became popular in that com-
munity. He made quite an impression
upon some of the young ladies, who con-
sidered him a very nice man. After
remaining in Philipsburg for quite a
while he went to Johnstown where he
became manager of a theater. A few
weeks ago he married Miss Fannie Es-
tep, of Osceola, to whom he represented
that he was the heir to considerable pro-
perty from the estate of his diseased
grandmother or some other relative.
Soon after his murriage he left Johns-
town, leaving a number of creditors
who would like to know where he has
gone to. Two or three letters recently
received in Philipsburg, one of which
was received by officer Simler, show that
he has a wife in Michigan. One of
them is from this lady, Mrs. W, R.
Swett, of Galien, Michigan, who wants
to gather all the information she can
concerning her ‘worthless husband,”
which she intends to use in an action of !
divorce.
ITH
MEMORIAL DAY IN BELLEFONTE
AND MILESBURG. — Last Saturday seem-
ed to have been cat out by nature for a
beautiful and successful Memorial Day.
The weather was all that could have
been desired, bright. without being too
hot, and the shower which usually falls
on that day was omitted from the pro-
gramme.
Through the agency of the Grand
Army and the Women’s Relief Corps,
of Bellefonte, flowers in profusion had
been gathered, and were prepared in the
forms of bouquets, wreaths and garlands
at the Post room, ready to be revercatly
placed on the last resting places of the
departed brayes.
At 1:30 the stirring music of the fife
and drum and the inspiring notes of
several brass bands drew the patriotic
citizens of our town to the Diamond,
where the procession composed of the
military, patriotic associations, secret
organizations and fire companies was
formed, preparatory to participating in
the memorial ceremonies. The march
to the cemetery was then made in the
following order: Company B, National
Guard, Col. Mullin in command ;
Gregg Post G. A. R.; carriage contain-
ing Gov. Curtin, J. L. Spangler, orator
of the day, and W. W. Farrier, of Jer-
sey City; carriage containing Gov.
Beaver and comrades Bryan, an infirm
soldier ; Logan Steam Fire Company,
with Zion Band; O. U. A. M. of Belle-
fonte; Undine Hose Company, with
Pleasant Gap Band; citizens in car-
riages.
The procession, after marching over
the designated route, arrived at the
cemetery where a hallow square was
formed by the organizations that took
part in the parade, and a large concourse
of people surrounded it. Then com-
menced the ceremony of decorating the
graves, according to the prescribed ritual
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Four were especially decorated by
James H. Rankin, H. H. Benner, John
Noll and Thomas Donachy. hen
the ceremony of decoration was in pro-
gress two odes were sung by Messrs.
Charles Shuey, J. A. Fiedler, J. P.
Smith, Wm. Hart, A. Lukenbach and
Walter Whippo, and dirges were play-
ed by the bands. Then came the ad-
dress by J. L. Spangler, Esq., which
was replete with interesting facts con-
cerning the struggle in which so many
brave men laid down their lives, and
with eloquent tributes to the heroic
dead. He was followed by Governor
Beaver who always has something inter-
esting to say when the soldiers, living or
dead, are the subject of his remarks.
Thus ended 1891’s tribute to the dead
soldiers of Bellefonte, and by all it was
admitted to be one of the most success-
ful Memorial Days that was ever ob-
served in “his place.
Milesburg always makes a great dem-
onstration on the day dedicated to the
memory of the departed heroes. Early
in the morning a number of comrades
went up to Fairview and decorated the
soldiers’ graves at that place, command-
er Austin Curtin making the address.
At 8:30 a detailed company of the Post,
led by comrade C. P. Jones, and en-
livened by the music of the veteran
drum corps, proceeded to Advent church
where flowers were placed on the graves
of the heroes who are taking their last
sleep in that cemetery. Rev. S. E.
Koontz, of the Bellefonte Evangelical
church, delivered an excellent address.
Then the detachment came back to
Milesburg, and the comrades partook of
a bountiful collation prepared by the
Women’s Relief Corps connected with
the Post. After this refreshment the
members of the Post repaired to their
rooms and passed a vote of thanks to the
ladies for their kindness. About 12:30
a procession of teams was formed which
carried a number of comrades to the
cemetery at Curtin’s Iron Works,
where wreaths were placed on the graves
of several soldiers sleeping in that en-
closure, and also on the graves of Mr.
and Mrs. Philip Barnhart, both of whom
served in the revolutionary war, one as
a soldier and the other as a nurse in the
hospital. The services here were con-
ducted by commander Miles Green, as-
sisted by comrades Austin Curtin, J os-
eph Green, Chaplain Thomas Wilson
and others. The Sunday school at
Curtin’s contributed a very pretty
feature to the exercises. The address
was delivered by Rev. C. H. Fitzwilliam,
of Tyrone, in a most eloquent manner,
and excellent music was rendered by a
choir composed of Misses Cora Neff,
Elizabeth Neff, Amanda Barnhart,
Mrs. Harry Austin, and James Barn-
hart of Bellefonte.
The decoration at the Milesburg
cemetery took place towards evening.
About 4 o'clock the parade, composed
of the Milesburg Cornet Band, the Odd
Fellows and American Mechanics, a
drum corps,the Methodist, Presbyterian
andBaptist Sunday schools, and the G.
A. R. formed in front of the Odd Fellows
Hall, and headed by Rev. Bouse and
Mr. L. T. Eddy, proceeded to the ceme-
tery where the ladies had prepared a
beautiful floral mound preparatory to
the service of decoraticn.
cises were directed by Miles Green, as-
sisted by comrades Joseph Green, C. E.
Kise, C. P. Jones and Chaplain Wilson.
| The choir sang some appropriated selec-
The exer-
tions, and Rev. Mr. Fitzwilliam deliv-
ered an eloquent address. Then the
flowers were placed or the graves of the
hallowed braves.
Thus did Milesburg pay her annual
tribute to the dead who had fought for
the Union and the old flag.

of the Presbyterian church of this place,
before he left on his visit to Scotland
presented him with a purse of $300.

A Festive Dago.—The Philipsburg
Journal says that a burly son of Italy
tarried over Wednesday, night in the
lock-up. He hired a horse and buggy
from Boney Gardner, steamed up pretty
| well with cheap whiskey and started
out to take in the sights of the neighbor-
hood. He visited Black Bear, Loch
Lomond, Morrisdale and other places,
running the poor horse nearly to death.
He then returned to town and hitched
in front of one of the hotels. Some one
noticing the condition of the horse went
to Mr. Gardner and informed him of the
same. He soon took charge of the rig,
and then demanded from tbe Italian
the required payment, This was refus-
ed, the Italian claiming that he was not
through with the rig. Officer Simler
was then summoned, who insisted that
he pay for the use he had of the horse
and buggy. The “Ike” sternly refused
to come down with the lucre, got ‘‘sas-
sy” on the officer’s hands and there was
no other alternative than to take him
off to the “cooler,” which required the
aid of an extra man or two.
Next morning he was given a hearing,
evinced somewhat of a repentant feeling,
and after 'paying his fine and costs,
amounting to $7.50 and the horse, hire,
$1.50, he was released and permitted to
go his way.

business life made & large number of ac-
quaintunces, by whom he was greatly

GoLDpEN REMEMBRANCES.—An old cit-
izen whose recollection of his first circus
is one of the charming remembrances of
his youth, has the following to say of
that never-to-be-forgotten experience:
No man ever forgets the impression
his first circus made upon him when a
boy. Nor does he get quite so old as to
despise the smell of jthe sawdust or
cease longer to take pleasure in the en-
tertainment of the ring. About one of
the earliest recollections you can go
back to is usually your first circus ; per-
haps the elephant has our earliest mem-
ories. I never see an elephant now
without thinking of the first elephant I
saw when a child. I can date nothing
back of that elephant. Nor can I date
back in my younger days farther than
the first circus—one of those old-fashion-
ed kind that had one ring and one
clown—that broke so gloriously upon
my boyish vision. When I see a man
who says he don’t care anything about
a circus I think there is something
wrong with him. Yet the circus to-day
is as widely different from that we first saw
as one thing of the same kind could be
from another. Still the aroma of the
ring and the animal cages is about the
same to our nostrils.
— McQuistion & Co’s is the place
to get fine buggies, carriages and wa-
gons of every kind.
A Sap DrownING Case.— Last Mon-
day evening John Leathers, a 14 year
old son of Michael Leathers, of Snow
Shoe, who was going to school at How-
ard, was drowned in the Bald Eagle
creek at that place. He ventured into
the water at a deep place and being un-
able to swim he sank and was drowned
before assistance could be rendered.
The other boys who were with him were
unable to help him, A search was
made for his body, and when found it
was taken to the home of his aunts,
Lizzie and Mary DeHass, with whom
he had been staying.

A Forzst FIRE RAISES A POINT OF
Law.—While the fires were raging in
the woods, Sheriff McClosky sold some
lumber in the eastern part of the county
which was bid in bya Mr. Marsh, of
Lock Haven, for $11,000. Within
twelve hours following the transaction
the property took fire and was destroyed.
The question of who is the loser is
now causing some agitation ; the pur-
chaser is said to be claiming no proper-
ty was delivered to him and the sheriff
is not going to be in a hurry to assume
any such loss, and the creditors want
the benefit of the proceeds of the sale.—
