CouxciL MEETING.--At the Borough
sorta latd flit o il ting Monday evening
Bk LCUERRRA | iiig, | Council meeting on y g
the County Commissioners, attended by
their Attorney, made their appearance
and asked of Council the privilege of
laying a drain pipe fror1 the court house
tothe creek. This is in view of fur-
nishing the county building with im-
proved water closets. The request of
the commissioners was referred to the
street Committee.
C. M. Bower, Xsq., was present and
called the attention of council to the
feasibility of locating a street to extend
from Howard street to Beaver, midway
between Armor street and a proposed
thoroughfare further east. The council
was favorably impressed and referred
the subject to the Street committee to
embody in its next report on the subject
of new streets.
The citizens in the vicinity of the
junction of Willow Bank street and
Reynolds avenue united in arequest that
an arc light be located at that point.
Mr. Hillibish, asa member from the
West ward, strongly urged on council
tha necessity for this light, and, on mo-
tion, it was granted.
The Street, Water, Fire and Police,
Nuisance and Finance committees re-
ported. All may be considered satistac-
tory except the last which shows a pres-
ent indebtedness to the borough treas-
urer of $10,377.15.
Boardwalks which are requested on
Bishop street, south side, near the school
house, were referred to the Street com-
mittee and borough engineer to examine
and report.
The Fire and Police committee were
ordered to purchase a coal cart or tender
for tha steam engine.
On motion, the grade of Ridge street,
as given by the borough engineer, was
adopted.
A Bap RarLroap Smasa Up.—
About 7 o’clock last Saturday morning
a destructive collision occurred a short
distance below Philipsburg at a point
where the Beech Creek railroad crosses
T. &. C.railroad. Ingiving an account
of it the Journal says that the work
train on the latter road was on its way
to Curwensville, and when it reached
the crossing the Beech Creek shifter,
pushing 32 cars filled with coal, came
down from the Derby branch, striking
the engine of the work train, throw-
ing it off the track, and ‘piling a couple
of the Beech Creek cars on top of it, al-
so striking the signal station, overthrow-
ing the same, and demolishing it consid-
erably, The signal agent, Mr. John
Swartz, who was standing in the door,
was hurled into a pool of water, a corner
of the building pinning him fast in the
mud. Rodey Conners and Pat. Vale
with the escaping steam from the wreck-
ed engine gushing out upon them, went
to the rescue of Mr. Swartz, and, with
considerable difficulty, succeeded in extri-
cating him from his perilous predica-
Strange as it may seem, Mr.
Swartz received only slight injury, but
certainly made a very narrow escape
from instant death. Thad. Katen, en-
gineer, and R.F. Curley, fireman on
the work train, seeing the disaster that
was inevitable, jumped from their en-
gine and escaped injury. Their engine
was a complete wreck, and had they re-
mained at their post their fate can
be conjectured.
A New Ciry IN CAMBRIA CoUNTY.
—The Carroliton News gives the follow-
ing notice of a new enterprise in which
some Centre county people are inter-
ested.
“A syndicate of a number of the fore-
most and most distinguished persons of
the State, including ex-Governor Beaver:
General Hastings, Colonel Spangler, and
others, concluded options on six hun-
dred acres of land on the river about
four miles from Carrollton, last week,
with the intention of laying out a city on
the premises. Machinists and found-
rymen, artists and mechanics, are al-
ready waiting anxiously for the comple-
tion of the railroad, when they will lo-
cate in the new city and begin business
on a stupendous scale.”
ONE HUNDRED PROPERTIES FOR
SaLE.—For the first time in the history
of Blair county a County Comumission-
ers’ sale of real estate will be held at the
Arbitration Raom at the Court Hause,
Hollidaysburg, on Wednesday, Oct. 14
1891, Over one hundred properties, lo-
cated in different parts of the county,
are advertised for sale. The title to
these properties became vested in the
commissioners by purchase at various
times at the County Treasurer's tax
sales. As parties have enjoyed the un-
disturbed possession .of the lands for
years under the mistaken belief that
they are the owners these sales will
doubtless be prolific of much litigation.

AN OLD PrAcH TrREE.—In the peach
orchard ot Captain Williams Hayes,
near Mackeyville, is a peach tree that
was planted over forty years ago. The
tree is bearing fruit this year, and farm-

peaches a few days ago, declares he has
not eaten so fine a flavored peach this
year as the one he plucked from the
aged tree.— Lock Haven Express.

——A Williamsport lad drew a glass

most absorbed with their work the plug
at the end of the pipe flew out, blowing
a molten mass of ore, coal and lime

most of the discharged and was fright-
fully burned about the head and body.
All the men were seriously burned,

W.C. T. U. CoNvENTION.—The 8th
annual convention of Centre county, W.
C. T, U., mill meet at Philipsburg,
Wednesday and Thursday, September
23rd and 24th. Tbe W. and Y. W.
C. T. U. have a pledged membership of
nearly 300, with a large number of hon-

movement, under the wise and efficient
leadership of Frances E. Willard, num-
bers according to the Treasurer’s report
143,973 members.
Total loss during the year by secession
in Pennsylvania and Iowa was 7,261.
This was hard to make up, and adding it
to the gain of 1,625 (the increase over
1889) we really have a total eain of
8,886. The National Secretary, Mrs.
Buell, adds: “This does not look very
much as if we were in a dying condition.
The facts in the case are that we are in
a healthier condition. than for many
years, and while we have in the last six
years had much criticism, misrepresen-
tation and contradiction of friends, as
well as foes, it has only tended to solidi-
fy rather than to disintegrate, and the
result is a solidarity of membership we
have never before known.” Report

It may interest the friends of the
cause to know that in our own state
there are 17,000 members of the W. and
8.204 of the Y. organization, 15,584

tests this year,$45,855.26 raised in money.
There are 64 of the 67 counties of the
state organized and more or less active
in W. C. T. U. lines of work. The
officers of this county desire a full atten-
dance at the county convention. Hach
local union and temperance society, as
well as every church, will please send
two or more delegates to represent them.
Philipsburg unions cordially invite all
who care to come. Miss E. M. Thomas,
Secretary. Mrs. J. P. Harris, County
President.
HEAVY DaMAGES.—Last week the
case of Dr. Dunwiddie, of Philipsburg,
vs.the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
was tried in our court. The suit was
brought by the Doctor to recover dam-
ages for having been struck, while in a
sleigh, by a train on the company’s road,
by which collision he was thrown out of
his vehicle and injured. This occurred
some four years ago. The plaintiff pro-
duced two witnesses who testified that
before crossing the railroad track he
stopped, looked and listened,”’and/hear-
ing and seeing no train approaching, he
started to cross, and when upon the
track his sleigh was struck, by which he
sustained the injury for which he claim-
ed damages. It was also proven by the
plaintiff that no signals of any kind were
given by the company’s employes that a
train was approaching. The defendant
proved by the engineer and fireman of
the train that the bell on the engine was
rung all the time from the starting of
the train until after the accident hap-
pened, but no other person gave evi-
dence that they heard the bell, although
there were about fifteen other persons on
the same train, The defendant also
proved by two witnesses that the Doc-
tor did not stop, look and listen before
he crossed the track ; that heonly slack-
ed up.
This was the conflicting testimony in
the case, but the jury, after being out
about two hours, cencluded that the
Doctor had the best of the testimony
and awarded him $8,000 damages.
SURPRISED BY A FisH.—The follow-
ingis from the Mifflintown Democrat
and Register: While the following
party, Leslie Allison, Boyd Parker,
Ralph Espenschade, Martha Jackman,
of this place; Daisy Ickes and Stella
Goodman, of Altoona, were out rowing
one day last week, a bass weighing one
pound and thirteen ources jumped right
into Daisy Ickes’s lap. The uuexpect.
ed visitor frightened her somewhat. Of
course she jumped up, the fish falling to
the bottom of the boat. Leslie, a very
brave and gallant young man, managed
to kill the fish, took it home and clean-
ed it for her. It made an elegant break-
fast.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES AT THE GRANG-
urs’ PreNic.—Religious services will be
held at Grange Park, Centre Hall, next

iNG.-—James and John Mayes, two
young men of Clarence, this county
were brought to jail on Monday for the
offense of having shot Alfred Lucas, of
Snow Shoe, through the leg while the

the riotous proceedings in which he had
engaged on Saturday evening. When
Lucas, armed witha “warrant and ac-
companied by other parties, approached
Mayes's home be heard them coming
and locked the door. Lucas ordered
him to open up, but he refused. The

threatened to shoot any one who came

AN OrpINANCE REesciNDED.—The
borough council of Centre Hall some
weeks ago passed an ordinance requiring
venders, or,as they arecommonly called
’
fukers, doing business within the
borough limits during the Grangers
Fair, to pay a heavy license. Upon
obtaining legal advice on the subject
they found that thoy could not en-
force such a tax, and they have accord-
ingly rescinded the ordinance imposing
it. High taxes,whether in the shape of a
tariff or a borough license, do not promote
trade and are otjectional impositions.

turers in Bellefonte who ever served
time at the business.

twenty-four pounds of trout. The fine

Newson and his friends were duly arrest-
ed and compromised the matter by pay-
ing one hundred dollars and cost, mak-
ing the cost of the trout caught over
iive dollars per pound.
