THINGS.ABOUT TOWN & COUNTY
The house of W. H. Gardner on
the ridges near Howard was destroyed
by fire last Saturday night.
Ex-Judge Orvis has been out of
sown recently examining some slate
works lately established near Carlisle:
— The water was turned on from
the new reservoir at Centre Hall last
areek, and the new works are a success
in every way:
——Cards are out for the marriage of
Harry Jennkios and Miss Jennie Luck-
enback, both of Bellefonte, to take
place on Tuesday evening, 22nd inst.
——The fireplugs of Bellefonte have
been painted white, which improves
their appearance. It is an idea of
Superintendent’ Rine, and a good one:
— Meyer G. Guggenheimer, former-
iy of Bellefonte, is now associated with
Shoneman' Bros., importers of dry and
fancy goods, at 116 North Eighth street,
Philadelphia.
——The annual session of the Central
Pennsylvania Lutheran Synod, which
«vas held id Philipsburg last year, con-
wenes on October 1st at Duncannon,
and will last about one week.
—— Maitland has completed the stand-
pipe, which is made of boiler iron,
and it will be put up at the reservoir. It
is our opinion that to have any effect it
should be on the other side of the town.
——The Centre baseball club of this
place went to Centre Hall last Saturday
to play against the players of that place
and were unsuccessful bya score of 9
Lo 4. It was a well contested game,
——TFor attempted assault upon a lit-
tle girl one day last week a Curwens-
ville citizen barely escaped lynching at
the hands of the enraged residents of
that quiet borough. The fellow is now
«quartered at the county jail awaiting in-
dictment.
——A correspondent in the Phila-
delphia Times from Northumberland
county recommends Governor Pattison
to appoint Prof. D. M. Wolf, of this
county, State Superintendent of Com-
mon Schools. Mr. Wolf would certain-
1y make g competent incumbent.
——The Pennsylvania State Sport-
mens’ Association will hold their first
annual meeting and trap shooting tour-
nament at Williamsport, from Septem-
er 29th to October 2nd, only residents
of the state being allowed to enter.
$2,000 in prizes have been offered and
the championship of the state will be
decided at that time.
——A swindle which has been carried
on successfully of late in some sections
is thus explained: ‘Persons visit the
town and call from house to house ask-
ing tosee the sewing machines, and if
the machine is a certain kind they take
out the shuttle and put it in their pock-
et, refusing to give it up unless the
owner pays them for an alleged infringe-
ment on their patent.”
~—-Mrs. Joseph Bitner’s recent death
at State College was caused by an at-
tack of neuralgia of the heart and stom-
ach, a disease to which she was subject.
Her maiden name was Baumgardner,
daughter of Christian and Catharine
Baumgardner, of Pleasant Gap. Her
age was 35. She had many loving
friends, and left a husband and two
children to lament their sore bereave-
ment.
——There being an effort to have a
Sunday train put on the road between
Tyrone and Clearfield for the con-
venience of the traveling public and for
the delivery of the mails, especially the
Sunday papers, petitions are being cir-
culated by the ministers of the different
denominations protesting against this
innovation upon the sanctity of the
Sabbath. They are freely signed by |
many prominent and influential citi- |
Zens.
——Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presby-
‘terian church of this place, returned to |
his home on Tuesday morning from bis
Buropean trip, after an absence of near- !
ly three months. In the evening a re-
ception was given him in the chapel |
connected with his church in which
some soventy-five members and |
other friends participated. An @ ad- |
dress was made by Mr. James Milliken, |
after which there were handshaking and |
other demonstrations of a hearty wel- |
come home,
-——The new Presbyterian church at |
Centre Hall will be dedicated on the |
27thinst., a week from next Sunday.
Hminent ministers from abroad will be
in attendance. Rev. D. K. Freeman, D.
D., of Huntingdon, Pa., will deliver
the dedicatory sermon on Sunday morn-
ing. Services leading up to the ocea-
sion will be commenced on Wednesday
evening, the 23rd, and continued every i
night until the Sabbath.. The aim will |
be to make a series of evangelistic ser-
mons,by which it is earnestly hoped all
will be benefited.
The Grangers Picnic Again!
Fair Weather and Good Speak-
ers Attract Thousands of Peo-
ple. Gov. Pattison Fails to
Come. Exhibi’s Poor but
the Crowd F wormous.
Scenes at Grange Park.
season of gayety and festivity for the
farmer and his friendsis at hand. The
but the myriad shocks of golden topped
corn is left to complete the yield of a
most prolific season. The sad chirp of
the katy-did and cricket and the rapid
waning harvest moon are true harbing-
ers of the approaching winter, and with
them come the Grangers to celebrate the
end of their work season in a grand
jubilee.
This, the second annual picnic and
exhibition held in Grange Park, the
new home of Centre County Patrons of
Husbandry, has so far surpassed any of
the preceding gatherings in number of
visitors and exhibits that we cannot but
wonder whence all the people came.
The formal opening of the grounds,
which took placeon Saturday last at
three o’clock, was not characterized by
anything of an unusual nature, but was
simply the time which had been set for
the opening of the tents for occupancy.
All afternoon and evening merry parties
of eampers were coming onto the grounds
and soon smoke could be seen curling
away from the rear of the tents. Then
the honest hearted country boys and
girls were called to supper and bed. Did
we say bed ? Well, no, not exactly, for
when we retired we saw little knots of
them grouped about under the lights,
with mouths just far enough ajar to af-
ford convenient darting places for all
the bugs attracted by the glare of the
torches. :
Sunday morning dawned with a heavy
mist enshrouding the whole valley, but
when the sun came peeping over the
head of Brush mountain, impressing the
rosy kiss of a new morn on hill and vale,
the fog roiled away and once more the
pretty little tented fleld was in view.
Soon it was astir and everything gotten
in order for the Sunday services which
were held in the large auditorium. Rev.
W. E. Fischer officiated in the morning,
Rev: Baskerville in the afternoon and
Rev. S. Eisenberg in the evening. At
each service the large tent was comfort-
ably filled, and considering the size of
the crowd everything was as orderly as
could be expected. Many visitors were
present during the afternoon, but a light
shower which passed over the grounds
shortly after dinner diminished the size
of the crowd somewhat.
Having staid out rather late on Sun-
day night, for the girl we took home
from church insisted on our sampling
the cider and pumpkin pies which her
thoughtful mamma had brought along,
we were loath to leave our cot in the
morning, and lying there in a light
slumber we experienced one of the most
peculiar sensations it has ever been the
lot of this humble reporter to bear.
From out the blurred jabbering of
bustling women, the hum of machinery,
and other unearthly noises,*we heard the
organ of a “merry-go-round” clearing
| away from ‘‘Annie Rooney’ into “Mec-
Ginty,” and then ere we had time to
reaiize the awfulness of the onslaught,
we heard the lever pressed and out came
“Comrades,” in which Francy Speer
joined with a vociferousness that called
out the whole police force of the camp,
and when the organ turned off into
“See that their graves are kept green, ”
Francy dozed again and was asleep.
MONDAY.
The week opened with the best evi-
dences of success for both picnic and ex-
hibition, for every train brought car
loads of machinery and various articles
for display. All day the sound of the
hammer resounded through the camp
and busy workmen were hastening to
get things in shape as early as possible.
While there were many visitors on
the grounds the crowd did not seem
large, as everyone was engaged at some
work or other and very little time
was given to the gayeties which charne-
terized the latter part of the week.
About headquarters, grand master
Rhone and fils able assistants could be
seen giving directions to the many in-
quiring exhibitors and tenters.
Very commendable features of this
year'scamp government are thelefficient
police force and stringent regulations
concerning the sanitary condition of the
place. A number of new hydrants and
several Targa sinks are among the im-
provements in this direction.
Daring the course of the morning we
were enabled to see inside the four new
buildings which had just been complet
ed and were then thrown open to the
occupants. They are large frame struc-
tures, after the model of the other Park
buildings, ornamented with fancy little
cupolas, and, while not expensive, never-
theless afford ample room for exhibits
which must be protected from. the
storm. Inside they are plain, but com-
fortable, and, with thedecorations which
those who occupy them usually put
up, they present quite an attractive ap-
pearance.
As our work for the day was purely
—
Harvest is past, and once more the:
crops are almost garnered and naught
of an investigating nature, we roamed
about the grounds, not failing to notice
the many little improvements which
had been made for the convenience of the
patrons. Among them the hitching
posts and watering places for horses,
the three large boarding houses, the
railroad shed for baggage and express,
and many other little things which do
not count much in the general run, but
which nevertheless are indispensable to |
the well managed and successful picnic.
Monday was verily a getting ready
day, and when Tuesday morning dawn-
ed every one was prepared to begin the
week in earnest.
TUESDAY.
| The Picnic began in earnest this
morning. Hitherto the time had al}
been spent in fixing up, but when Tues-
day was ushered in everybody was ready
,and waiting to begin the celebration.
Every incoming train brought its quot»
of merry picnickers, and by noon there
must have been five thousand people on
the grounds: The crowd was an un-
‘usually orderly one and the many police
‘about the grounds found very little
to do. :
‘| At. 2 0’clock the Exhibition was for-
mally opened, in the auditorium. The
opening had been set for the morning at
10, but the threatening condition of the
weather induced the committee to post-
pone it until the afternoon , when, after
prayer and an ‘introductory by Leonard
Rhone, IS. Frain, master of the coun-
ty Grange, delivered an interesting talk.
He was followed by Col. Jas. F. Weav-
er, County Lecturer, who concluded the
meeting with a very able address on
agricultural interests. J
Inthe evening a good audience as-
sembled to hear Samuel R. Downing,
Deputy county Lecturer, whose talk,
“Unity in organization means ultimate
success,” was greatly appreciated. Af-
ter. Mr. Downing had finished, Miss
Brewer, the elocutionist from Delaware
county, delighted the audience. This
concluded the pleasure for the day and
all retired well satisfied. :
WEDNESDAY.
If nature had made the day according
to the most exalted ideas it were possi-
ble to embody in an order, it could not
have been more beautiful that was Wed-
nesday. All the valley aglow in the
sunshine, and the camp flags afloat on
the warm September breeze, one could
scarcely imagine a more beautiful rural
scene. ‘The delightful weather conduc-
ed to bring fully eight thousand people
to the, grounds, and an interesting
throng it was. No better basis for char-
acter study than the different faces ‘seen
on Grange avenue, tha varied ex-
pressions portraying only too well the
nature of the soul within.
At 9 o'clock the Woman’s meeting
was held and presided over by Mrs. An-
na M. Holstein, of Montgomery county.
At 10 Judge Jenks, of Jefferson
county, and Col. R. H. Thomas, editor
of the Farmer’s Friend, addressed large
audiences. ;
Two o'clock brought the people to-
gether to hear J. F. Ailman, Lecturer
for the State Grange, deliver quite a for-
cible talk on the farmer as affected by
the political issues of the day. He was
followed by Ex-Governor St. John, of
Kansas, whose theme was ‘““Temper-
ance.”” The Governors talk was very
practical and entertaining, especially to
the Democrats in the auditorium, for
his views on the tariff, and even on tem-
perance, practically admit that the only
relief from disreputable government and
the depressed condition of the busi-
ness world is to be found in Democracy.
St. John is a plain, easy talker, whose
force lies more in the logie- of his dis-
cussions than in eloquence. His lan-
guage was simple though effective, and
we venture to say that no one was'dis-
appointed.
The evening’s entertainment was done
away with, owing to some difficulty
with those who were to appear, conse-
quently every one was left to enjoy the
light of the glorious harvest moon. The
night wasa perfect one in every re-
spect and we verily believe that half the
tenters on that field spent the most of it
in frent of their tents enraptured by the
scene that lay flooded in golden light be-
fare them.
THURSDAY.
“Pattison’s Day,” according to the
programme,but Pattison was not there to
greet the thousands who had assembled
to see him. Various estimates place the
crowd at from eighicen to twenty thous.
and people, and if you wanted to study
the different styles of dresses it was the
place to do 1t. Long tailed basques and
short tailed basques. Tails that were
sewed oft and tails that were made in tie -
piece, and every girl thought her dress
prettier than that of her sister. They
were all out of sight, especially ‘when
they got off the “razzle-dazzle.”
Mr, James McSparren of Lancaster
county, and Dr. George W. Atherton,
President of the Pennsylvania State
College, made interesting addresses in
the morning. Hon. Mortimer White-
delivered the address in the afternoon,
and in the evening the audience had the
pleasure of listening to Dr. James'Culd-
er, of Harrisburg, and then another wmu-
sical treat arranged by Miss Brewer, as-
: i | Gentzel, J. I. Gephart,
head, Lecturer of the National Grange, ' -

sisted by the De Moss Family,
One of the pleasantest features of the
day was the banquet given to the Jour-
nalists present, by the Journalists’ Asso-
ciation of Centre county. It was served
by Achenbach, of Bellefonte, and a
number of editors and reporters enjoyed
the delicacies on the elaborate menu.
Up to the time when we go to press
everything is moving nicely, and pros.
pects fora crowd on Friday, «Old Sol-
dier’s Day,” are very good indeed. :
The two most attractive exhibits on
the grounds are those of the Pennsyl-
vania State College and McCalmont &
Co., of this place. The College has dis-
plays from the departments which fur-
nish objects of most interest to the farm-
ers, and its botanical exhibit, while not
extensive, adds a freshness and charm to
the building which is truly attractive.
MecCalmont & Co’s exhibit of buggies,
carriages and implements, which, while
not near as large as it would have
been had not a misunderstanding with
the Grange Committee occurred, is
nevertheless proving the centre of, much
interest. The affable proprietors of the |’
concern are receiving hosts of their
friends and taking pleasure in explain-
ing the intricacies of the various ex-
hibits they display.
Harry Chaapel, the popular William-
sport florist, has a very pretty floral dis-
play in the building occupied by the
Pennsylvania State College. The jars
of cut flowers which stood about on his
tubles were admired by everyone and his
exhibit of bulbs, etc was interesting.

Bap RAILROAD WRECK AT LOCK
HAvEeN,—Wednesday of last week a
collision occurred on the P, & E. road
at Lock Haven by which fourteen cars
loaded {with miscellaneous freight was
piled up ’promiscuously. The collision
was so forcible ,that ore of the engines
was completely turned round, toppled
over and ull smashed up.
Two men §were badly hurt, but itis
a matter of congratulation thatno one
was killed outright. James Burd, of
‘| Sunbury, engineer of the freight train,
was thrown out a considerable distance
and had his right shoulder broken, two
fingers dislocated and was cut some
about the head but not seriously. Wil-
liam Barnhart, the fireman, also of Sun-
bury, was thrown under the boiler of
the wrecked engine and would have un-
doubtedly been killed had: it not been
that the spot was filled up with a pile of
cinders, which gave way and afforded
his body room to lie without crushing.
He was badly scalded on the breast, legs
and arms and when men came to rescue
him he was found trying to dig himself
out of his perilous position. Both men
were conveyed to the depot as soon as
possible, where their wounds were at-'
tended to by Drs. Watson and Lichten-
thaler. Travel was completely blocked
and passengers cn Erie mail had to be
transferred. The work of cleaning the
wreck was begun as soon as the proper
arrangements could be made.
A DeAp CHILD BURIED IN A CHICK-
EN YARD—On Wednesday of last week
Coburn had its sensation, when it was
noised about that an infant child had
been found buried in a chicken yard.
The facts in the case are these: Caro-
line Wilson, a young woman of 19
years, of Hublersburg, came to Coburn
about four weeks ago, making her home
with fier sister, Mrs. Monroe Kreamer.
On the 31st of last month at abot hoon
the girl gave birth to a healthy child.
A few hours later the .child was dead
and that same night the inhuman moth-
ar had it buried in the, chicken yard on
her sister's premises.’ Mrs. John Rote,
a neighbor, whe attended the young
woman, reported tlie strange proceed-
ings to Squire Garthoff, who at once re-
ported the matler to District Attorney
Meyer at Bellefonte. The latter wired
back to have the corpse dug out and a
jury. ordered empanelled. The body
was examined by a physician summon-
ed for that purpose,but nothing could be
found to indicate that, the child died an
unnatural death. It then ‘received de-
cent burial and the Wilson woman was
arrested on Tuesday evening on the
charge of concealing ‘the death 'of a’
bastard child, and was committed to jail
yesterday. = At this writing the jury had
not vet ‘arrived at a verdict as to how

SHor A CRANE.—At the United
States Hotel yesterday evening we saw
a crane hanging ina window that had
been brought over from Loganton by
Harry Cole and was the vietim of the
gun of Clem Herlacher, who shot it in
a creek near that place. It measured
five feet four inches on the wing from
tip to tip and five feet eight inches in
length from end of bill ‘to tip of tail.—

But what justification was there for
killing this bird ? It was not a bird of
prey, nor was it destructive to anything
in which any human being was’ inter-

Ogr Mamma has gone and left us,
To that beautiful land of the blest,
And she dwells with the holy angels,
In that beautiful home in heaven.
Out in the summer sunshine
They carried our Mamma one day ;
And under the sweet summer roses,
She is sleeping the long hours away,
Farewell, dear Mamma, a long farewell,
For we shall meet no more ;
Till we are raised with him to dwell
On Zion’s happy shore. MOLLIE.
