——On last Friday morning little

a short distance below town and many
should take advantage of the opportun-
ity to help along a good cause.
——The High street bridge over the
race has been repaired and when we
come to think of the expense attached to

this ore all the time, and still not have
a good structure.

afternoon the High School and Acad-
emy base ball teams played the second
of their series of games which resulted
in a victory for the former by the score
of 17 tv 5. The children returned at

‘has ever fallen in this place.
IMoxpAY’s GrEAT STorM.—'Tis so
seldom that this section of the country
is visited with storms of any particular
degree of violence that when a real ' stiff
blow finds'its way down between our
mountain barriers the people straight-
way get frightened and the accounts of
the harrowing scenes in the wake of the
last Kansas tornado dance through their |
minds.
5 Threatening looking clouds began to.
bank up inthe western skies on Mon-
day morning, evidencing the approach
of a storm of some kind. Many persons
stopped on the streets to watch the pee-
uliar, greenish looking formations that
were piling up ‘with foreboding portent.
An ominous, angry looking cloud
would rise slowly from the horizon and
push up against ‘others that had pre-
it until the whole heavens
seemed one lowering mass of angry bil-
lows. Then a light wind cloud would
go scurrying across so low that for a
time the tops of the mountains would be
lost to view. It was indeed no wonder
some of our more timid People were
frightened.
All this preparation for a storm that
spent its fury in less than half an hour.
About three o'clock in the afternoon
large rain drops began to fall and before
the people on the streets could find a
place of shelter they were drenched
with one of the most terrific rains that
Hail
stones as large as marbles : beat down
garden plants and cut the foliage from
the trees. Violent gusts of wind blew
the rain and hail in sheets so that one
could not see from one side of the street
to the other. It tore out trees, roots and
all, and took everything movable before
it. ‘For half an hour the elements
reigned supreme. Rain fell in torrents,
making rivers of the streets; and lakes
of the back yards and gardens. All ov-
| er town there was much destruction

Spring creek’s phenomenal rise of 18
inches, in as many minutes, excited our
attention immediately for had it con-
tinued at the same rate five minutes
‘| longer our press rooms would have been
dooded. The rain had abated some-
what and the httle group, on the High
street bridge, watching the raging waters
soon took up the ery that the big dam
at Axe Mann had broken. We tele-
phoned out right away and the answer
came back: “Only the flood gates have
| gone out, but the water is now all over
the pike and up to the third step of the
stone store building.” Fortunately it
was a flood of only momentary duration
for if it had continued raining, as we
feared it would, we would still be under
water. As it was, however, it all came
with a rush and was over by 6 o’clock.
Along with the current came foot
bridges, out houses, logs and everything
that the raging torrent could carry.
Corn, fields from up along Logan’s
branch said “goodbye” to those who
had planted them and went to live in
the Bald Eagle valley. The Le wis-
town pike, wherever it is near the
stream, was covered with debris and
drift from the flood. The point below
Geo. W. Jackson & Co’s mill where
Jacob Barlett and Mrs. Wilson live
was almost entirely submerged, and for
a time those families thought they
would be forced to move out. William
Musser, who lives just across the stream
from the Wilson home lost all of his
spring chickens.
THE STORM IN NITTANY VALLEY.
The storm swept down Nittany valley
with frightful violence, swelling the lit-
tlestreams into raging rivers and com-
pletely inundating the low farm lands,
Many bridges between here and Zion
were swept away aad the hail played
havoc with the fruit trees and garden
truck. In many places the roads were
so badly washed that an extra millage
will have to be assessed to repair them.
Lightning struck the large new barn
of Henry Gentzel. in Spring township,
setting’ "it ‘on fire. Before the family
had recovered from the shock, flames
were bursting out from ev ery corner of
the barn and.as Mr. Gentzle was away
from home his son, Epley, endeavored
to save as much of the stock as possible.
Two horses were gotten out, but so rap-
idly did: the flames spread that three
others, with two calves, were left to per-
ish. All his implements, harness and
other effects stored in the barn were con-
sumed. A new Conklin wagon owned
by Harrison Kline was lost also, 500
bushels of wheat and 500 bushels of oats
helped run theo loss sustained by Mr.
Gentzle up to several thousand dollars.
There was some insurance on the barn,
but none on its contents, Much diffi-
culty was experienced in saving the ad-
joining outbuildings and the house.
A CYCLONE IN PENNS VALLEY!
While Nittany, Bald Eagle and Half
Moon valleys imagined they were being
roughly handled in the big" storm on.
Monday they scarcely got a taste ot it,
for it seems as though the elements bad
saved their most destructive force for
the lower end of Penns Valley, It is
the broadest and most fertile’ region in
the county and down ihrough its vale
swept the mighty storm legving. desola-
tion in its track.
The path of the cyclone was mnérth-
ward from Coburn. It struck George
Reiter's orchard first and felled every

tree but four, onward in its course it
blew down buildings, fences and trees.
George West's orchard is a complete
wreck. The J. H. Musser barn was
the next to go. It wa: an immense
structure 136x45 with a 93x39 shed and
is now entirely demolished. The stock
in the stables escaped unhurt. Parts of |,
the building were carried a distance of
The brick dwelling house; {
about 100 feet from the barn, pre-
sents a sorry appearance. It was oceu-
pied by Nathaniel Boob, whe:
farms the place, and he with his family
only escaped by taking refugein a small
summer house at the rear of the build-
ing. The dwelling was unroofed: and
both gables blown inand shattered in
such a way that it is not- worth repair-
ing. The Millheim Journal speaks of
it as follows. As the rear gable end
gave way part of it was hurled into the
room where one of the children Was. ly-

thick, and fast on “wll dies of the little
ones some oven linding in the cradle.
Strange to say neither f the children
received as much as a scratch. The
scare which: the anxious parence h had can
easily be imagined. =
On the hill which forms the ouster
border of the farm is a small woods tim-
bered with fine and stately trees. ~ Most
of these were broken off or torn up by
by the root. = All over the premises and
fields are scattered the debris of the
wrecked buildings and the whole pre-
sents a desolate scene, The loss sustain-
ed by Mr. Musser may safely be estima-
ted at $5000, while Mr. Boob’s loss will
not be short much of $500.”
The adjoining David Bowersox farm
was almost as much of a wreck after the
gale swept over, it., House and barn
were both unroffed and the outhouses
entirely demolished.’
W. B. Haines, house at the turnpike
‘was cut right in two. It was a 1} story
frame building and its occupants barely
escaped with their lives.. Right near
the Haines home is the. Wolfe's chapel
church which was robbed of its roof, its
steeple and its 200 pound bell, which
was carried clear across an adjoining
field.
R. B. Hoster man, who occupies a
farm nearby, is a heavy loser. His
house was unroofed, his outbuildings
broken into kindling wood and the end
of his barn caved in,
Howard Miller, who occupies the
Wolfe farm, was frightened when the
storm struck his place, a portion of the
barn roof was carried away and his out
buildings rolled around like marbles.
Here the path of the tornado veered
eastward and struck the Homan farm,
felling a fine clump of trees and blowing
a tall pine onto the barn roof, crush-
ing it in. Along the mountain it
played havoc with the timber and its
course tells all too plainly of the des-
truction it wrought.
It is evident from the rig-zag course
of the cyclone that its full fury was not
spant on the surface and that the heart
of the storm was traveling high in the
air, It séemed to drop at certain places
and lay waste everything in its paths
then it would rise again and pass over a
large territory before it descended. Such
a storm has never before been heard of
in this county and our people have lost
the feeling of security which has always
attended them when reading of the aw-
ful tornadoes elsewhere.
Lock Haven and Philipsburg
have both recently organized social
clubs for the older people.
——Cleveland’s March Triumphal,”
and “Our Flag,” are two new peices of
music just published by the composer,
Phil. P. Keil, of McKeesport, the ex-
cellence of which is certain to make
them both popular.
——We are grieved to learn that A.
J. Graham Esq., of Philipsburg, is suf-
fering with two broken ribs. While
driving from Hontzdale to Hastings,
on Monday, his team scared at a ‘bark
wagon, overturning the carriage with
its occupants: ;

{ ination of the Institution, at 9.30. by
visiting guests; exercises by members of
the schools at 2 00, p.m. and an address
on the “Educational Features of Ref-

afternoon was spent in sight seeing and
the return began just ateun set when
the ride over the famous switch back is
most delightful... Guests from Lock

,ARE WE To HAVE ANOTHER RAIL- |
Roap? Bia ExcITEMENT AND Bia
Hopes. —The past has been an exci
fing week in Bellefonte. On Monday it
wus rumored that men were in town
epiro the building of the long talked of
competing line of rail-road, that is to
give new birth to Bellefonte enterprises
and new booms to Bellefonte’s business
industries, and on Tuesday morning a
nlimber of men were put to work grad-
ing the point of rocks, down near the
.Eleetric Light House, where it is said the |
depot and station Houses of the new
road are to be eréeted.
Investigation broaght out the facts!
that a corporation chartard! ‘some’ two i
years ago under the name of the Central
Pennsylvania rail-road company, and
which has since been making surveys
and locating lines, through Nittany, Su-
gar and White Deer Valleys, had suc- |
ceeded in completing its work to Belle-
fonte, and that the movements here, were
the finishing touches of the preliminary
work that precedes the actual construc-
tion of the enterprise. The location of
the new road as fixed and now deter-
mined upon, is from a point on the
Reading rail-road, opposite Watson.
town in Northumberland county, up
White Deer Creek to Sugar Valley in
Clinton county, along that valley to the
Gap at Washington Furnace, where:it
passes into Nittany Valley, thence via
of Hublersburg, Zion and Curtin’s Gap,
to Milesburg and Bellefonte.
The parties at the head of the enter-
prise assure us that the right of way has
all or practically all been contracted for.
They show a contract signed by the
Reading rail-road company in which
that corporation, after guaranteeing the
bonds of the Central Pennsylvania, and
which it is told us have already been
negotiated, agrees to lease and operate
the line on substantially the same terms
that the Pennsylvania operates the Bald
Eagle Valley, The terms of the lease
require the road to be of sixteen feet face
on fills, and eighteen feet face in cuts, to
be laid with 80lb steel rails on white oak
ties and completed for operating within
two years from the date of the lease,
(April 20th, 1892.)
That the road will be of vast advan-
tage to Bellefonte, and particularly to
Bellefonte shippers, even the most con-
firmed croaker in the town ‘will admit.
That it can be secured, seems to be with-
out doubt, for the parties are not de-
manding that Bellefonte do the impossi-
ble, but that it contributes to the enter-
prise only, sufficient to cover a pcrtion
of the cost of locating and paying for
righis of way already bargained for.
The company asks of the town $35,000
—Iless than the building of two miles of
the road would amount too—and does
not ask this until the enterprise is com-
pleted and operated to Bellefonte.
That thisamount will be raised, we
have not the least doubt, but to do it
will require liberal contributions from
every interest and every individual who
feels the necessity of additional out-lets
or recognizes the benefits a competing
line of railway would give us,
As showing the purpose of those hav-
ing the enterprise in charge to put it
through as speedily as possible, we are
assured by the represontative of the
company now in this place, that the
contract to grade the road from here to
Curtin’s Gap, will be let at once, and
that arrangements have already been
completed to put over one thousand
men to work on the lower end within
the next two weeks.
His Work ADMIRED.-No small part
of the favorable impression left by com-
mencement exercises held at State College
two weeks since, is due to the excellent
condition in which the visitors found the
grounds and walks. The great campus
looked as if it was covered with a green
velvet carpet, so carefully had the grass
been cared for, and the smooth sinuous
walks, with their powdered limestone
coating, outlined the green of the sward
in a most pleasing manner. Everyone
remarked on the beauty of the grounds
and more than one: “it is a veritable
Eden” was heard. For its condition
Mr. John Corrigan and his force of
gardeners are wholly responsible. Many
were the compliments they received for
the result of their skill. Cap’t Roberts,
of Chester countv, one of the college
benefactors, made Johnny a handsome
present in appreciation of his efforts of
improve the appearance of the place and
the Junior class also remembered him in
a substantial way.
Our NEw BAND PavinioN.—Along
with the startling railroad rumors
that have caused such a flurry on the
streets this week comes the reality that a
handsome little pavilion is to be erected
on the Diamond in which the Meyer's
orchestra will give weekly open air
concerts. J. C. Meyer Esq., and Dr.
Hibler have interested themselves in the
undertaking with the result that nearly
every one who has been approached ha«
subscribed liberally and the, stand pro-,
mises to be & reality ina very short
time. It will be an ornamental little
structure which can be used as a speak-
er’s stand for public meetings and will
fill a.long felt want, The orchestra will

al new pieces.

to his excellent character from a number
of prominent people and if he calls on
any of our readers we ask, in his behalf,
a careful consideration of the proposition
he will make. Mr. Karns is working
his way through college, preparatory to
entering the ministry, and should be
patronized by all.
——J. 8. Barnhart, Esq., who edited
this paper from July 1857 to July 1861,
and who has been visiting friends in this
county for the past three weeks returns
to his home in Charles city, Iowa, the
latter part of this week. Mr. Barnhart
since leaving Centre county, away back
in the sixties, has seen and experienced
much of Western life, and although he
is now the possessor of a pleasant home
in a pleasant and prosperous Iowa town,
is frank enough to admit that if it were
not for the objections of his family, he
would return to Centre county, and
make it his home during the balance
of his life. Mr. B. since going west
has been engaged in the practice of law,
in literary eftorts. and has become an
expert in the profession of stenography.
——Hon John A. Woodward, Assis-
tant Executive Commissioner of the
Board of World's Fair Managers, paid the
Farmers’ Friend a very pleasant visit
Tuesday morning. Mr. Woodward is
busily engaged in preparing for our
State cereal exhibit at the World's Fair,
and all who have the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance are gratified that the work
is in such efficient hands. He is a prac-
tical farmer, a gentleman of great ability |:
an indomitable worker, and well equip-
ped in every way for the difficult task
before him. But Mr. Woodward can-
not gather such an exhibit-of onr ey y
as will do Pennsylvania justice unles
farmers will help him in the work. In
a few days he will mail circulars to'l
prominent farmers throughout the State,
asking for contributions of cereals, and |
giving full instructions for preparing
and forwarding the same. We hope
farmers, and particularly progressive
Patrons, will respond to this eall with
alacrity.. There is an impression abroad
that the old Keystone State. .is not well
up in agricultural productions. This is
a mistake, and now is the time, to show
to the world that we are abreast of the
foremost in farming as well as in manu-
facturing. We ask for an immediate
and favorable response to Mr. Wood-
ward's call.— Farmers Friend,

THE NOMINATION . RATIFIED.—A
great Cleveland and Stevenson ratifica-
tion meeting was held in this place on
Friday night, at which nearly every
Democrat in the town signified his en-
tire satisfaction over the work done at
Chicago. It was not one of those old
time meetings which savored of long
harangues, * premeditated ‘cheering and
an secasional fire cracker, but. a rousing,
soul inspiring gathering | typical of lat-
ter-day politics, at which the pent up
Cleveland enthusiasm burst forth in a
bon fire, high as the court house steeple,
marched singing songs and shooting
fire works.’ :
During a lull in the din the glare of
a red light displayed D. F. Fortney
Esq., high on a store box, on the Dia-
mond, proclaiming his steadfast zeal and
faith in Cleveland and the Democratic
party. - Upon the conclusion of his talk
pandemonium reigned supreme until
Wm. C. Heinle Ezq., the ex-Hill man,
arose to express his pleasure at the way
things turned out at Chicago. Every
utterance was that of satisfaction and
judging from the general exultation of
the ratifiers we cannot but say that the
Bellefonte: Democracy will not be
found wanting during the campaign,
A number of Republicans were noticed
pouading pans along with the rest.
