friends are anticipating a pleasant gath-
ering.
—— Walker township’s stone crusher
is getting in some good work, and the im-
provements already shown on the roads
down there, are making other sections
believe that permanent and good roads
are a necessity that can be had ata very
reasonable cost.
—Mr. H. W. Bickle, formerly of
Howard will present his name to the
Democratic county convention for the
nomination of Auditor. Mr. Bickle is
thoroughly competent to fill the position,

the Morris’ lime kilns, on the Milesburg

William Johnson and his son John, two
quarrymen, last Friday afterncon. As
it was the father was badly injured about
the lower part of his body.
Fewer trout have been caught in
the streams in this section the present
season than for many years. Itis gen-
erally believed that in many of the
mountain streams the larger fish were
destroyed by the waters freezing up dur-
ing the extreme cold of the past winter.

of Independence. The bill is made from

nearly 116 years, which is slightly older

highly.
——About two miles of the grading
of the new rail-road to Mill Hall has

of weeks ago, has, through the kindness

ing appointment as laborer in the Agri-
cultural department at Washington,
A Vierim oF THE ForD THEATER
DiSASTER.—Among the victims of the
Washington disaster, a full account of
which is given elsewhere in the WATCH- |
MAN, was Jerry Daley, son of Mr. and |
Mrs. John A. Daley, of Curtin town- |
ship this county. Shortly after the in-
augeration of President Harrison Mr.
John A. Daley received an appointment
as messenger in one of the departments
at Washington. He was not there long
until he sent for his son who was then
about 20 years of age and for whom he
had secured a position in the pension
bureau. The young man was naturally
bright and it was not long sfter enter-
ing the government service until he
passed a civil service examination that
gecured him promotion to one of the bet-
ter clerkships. A second promotion
placed him in the War Record depart-
ment the business of which was trans-
acted in the ill-fated building. Mr.
Daley had gone to his work as usual on
the morning of the disaster, but in at-
tending to his duties was called from
his desk to an other part of the building
Just before it fell,-—and unfortunately in-
to that portion that proved a death trap.
He had not yet secured the papers he
had gone to examine when the crash
came and with others in the same part
was carried down with the falling tim-
bers, safes and furniture.
The body was not reached by the res-
cuers until several hours after the disas-
ter, and when found it was discovered
that in his case death must have been
instantaneous, as his neck was broken,
his chest crushed in, right leg broken
and his body bruised and crushed gen-
erally.
His father who was in Washington at
the time, and who by the way was the
first to telegraph the news of the catas-
trophe to this place, and before he knew
of the awful fate that befell his son, hur-
ried to the building to hunt him up, and
failing there, visited his boarding houses
and the several hospitals in search of
him. As no news of his whereabouts or
condition could be secured, he was as-
sisted 1n his search by others from this
county, and at three o’clock the lifeless
body was identified among the unknown
at the Emergency hospital. The identifi-
cation that ended all hope that Jerry
had escaped injury was a terrible blow
to his father, who immediately wired
friends -at Howard the sad news, and
had the body prepared for removal -to
his home at Romola for burial, to which
place it was brought on Saturday, and
placed in its final resting place on
Sunday afternoon, amid flowers and
tears and the largest concourse of peo-
ple that has ever attended a funeral in
that section.
THE NEW BOARD oF TRADE. —
Bellefonte is to boom, so they say. A
Board of Trade was organized last Fri-
day evening and now all that remains
to be doneis for every-ome to turn in
and help drum up prospective manu-
factoring hustlers who are on the look
out for an advantageous location. It
would be useless to recount Bellefonte’s
superior qualifications in this respect, for
all of our readers know that thereis not a
more admirable and in every suitable
place for any kind of an establishment
than right here.
The initiatory steps were taken in a
council meeting some time since when a
resolution, praying council to move to-
ward the organization of an active Board
of Trade was read. That little incen-
tive had its effect in the meeting which
was held in the arbitration room in the
Court House, last Friday evening, when
many of our most representative busi-
ness men met to pledge their hearty sup-
port to the undertaking. The meeting
was called to order by President Potter,
of the council, and a committee appoin-
ted on permanent organization was ap”
pointed. Its report was adopted result-
ing in the election of the following offi-
cers :
James Harris, president ; J. W. Gep-
hart and John Meese, vice presidents ;
J. B. Strohm, Secratary ; and John P.
Harris, Treasurer. An executive com-
mittee was made up of George L. Pot.
ter, W. Fred. Reynolds, Thos. A. Shoe-
maker, F. W. Crider and Hammond
Sechler,
After some practical talks by E. C.
Humes Esq., Gen D. H. Hastings, Col.
Shortlidge, J. W. Gephart and others
the organization got well under way and
assumed material form. J. C. Meyer
John C. Miller and Dr R. G. H. Hayes
were appointed a committea to solicit
members. C. M. Bower, W. G. Mor-
rison, J. A. Feidler, L. T. Munson and
Col. Shortlidge were chosen to secure a
charter and draw up a constitution and
by-laws for approval at the next meet-
ing.
There is every reason to believe that
this organization will exercise very salu-
tary effect on the business interests of
Bellefonte and it is to be huped that
every one will encourage it to the fullest
extent of their ability. Our town will
never be any more than it is to day un-
less we are up and doing. The time has
come to act. Let us all put our should-
ers to the wheel and effect our own ad-
vancement.
——Rev. R. L. Wright of Philadel-
phia, will preach in the St. Johns Episco-
pal church in this place on Sunday next
at 10:30. a. m. and again at 7.30 p, m.
——Clearfield and Curwensville are -
both a little stuck up now because trains
have begun running regularly over the
Clearfield and Mahoning railroad. i
——Tyrone is agitating an electric
passenger rail-way. A Blair county me-
i chanic has invented a moter which he in-
tends putting to practical use.
——Up to the times and quite in ac-
cord with the present bright out-look
for old Clearfield town was the six page
industrial boom edition recently issued
by the Raftsman’s Journal.
——The Philipsburg school board or-
ganized on Saturday by electing A. T.
James, president ; W. E. Irwin, secre-
tary; John A. Wolfe, treasurer.
Among other business transacted was
the election of Prof. Charles Lose, of
Muncy, as superintendent, and the re-
election of Prof. F. A. McLaury as prin-
cipal, with an increase in salary.
——Rev. Merritt Hulburd D. D., of
Philadelphia, who preached the baccal-
aurate sermon at the College commence-
ment on Sunday morning, delighted a
large and appreciative congregation in
the M. E. Church at this place on Sun-
day evening with a most interesting and
instructive discourse. It is seldom that
church goers in this section enjoy such
a treat as was furnished on this occasion.
——The little shetland pony owned
by the Main’s circus people, which was
born in this place and weighed only
thirteen pounds, has been named “Daisy
Wreck’ from the fact that its mother,
named “Daisy,” was killed in the awful
wreck at McCann’s Crossing, in which
the show lost so many valuable animals.
It was intended that the colt should
have been christened ‘Bellefonte’ but
the wreck took precedence.
—Our councilmen could take a
timely and valuable lesson in practical
economy by following, in the foot steps
of the Curwensville council, by making
arrangements fora thorough sewerage
system before putting any more money
into the streets. There is little use in
spending time and money in improving
our streets when the inevitable result
will be that they will have to be all torn
up ere long to give the town much
needed under-ground drainage.
——MTr. Bailey’s new paper, the Cin-
tre Magnet, which is to knock smither-
eens out of everything of an intoxicating
nature, and bring about a moral millen-
nium, made its appearance on Wednes-
day. Itisa 24 column paper a little
larger than one half the WATCHMAN;
fairly well printed for the first number,
and promises to be an interesting addi-
tion to the newspapers and politics of
the county. It has the prohibition tick-
et at its mast head, and the prohibition
party of the county at its back.
——Bellefonte’s sick and suffering,
who have been taken to Philadelphia
hospitals for treatment, we are glad
to learn are improving. D. S. Keller,
Esq., who went down to have an opera-
tion performed upon his arm, remained
but alittle over a week and came back
the early part of the present week
greatly improved ; Miss Blanche Cook,
who is there for nervous prostration is
reported as doing well, with promise of
complete restoration ; Ex-county Trea-
surer Smith, upon whom an operation
for a malignant tumor on the neck was
performed on Saturday last, is said to be
rapidly recovering and is in the best of
heart.
——The continued low price of
wheat, as compared with bran and other
grain foods, has induced many farmers
throughout the state to feed it to stock
rather than sell at what seems to be a
non-paying price. Secretary Edge, of
the State Board of Agriculture, says
that ‘there probably never was in the
history of the State a year when so much
wheat was used as stock food.” This
statement ought to cause considerable re-
flection on the part of our agricultural
readers as to whether wheat growing in
this section will ever be profitable again.
Its continued low price coupled with the
advancing profit in stock raising, fruit
farming, produce gardening and hay
growing, will certainly eventually cause
many of our most successful husbandmen
to drop its cultivation for other than
purely domestic use.
——The board of directors of the Y.
M. C. A. of this place held a meeting
on Monday evening and after passing
resolutions highly complimentary of
their late secretary, Mr. Harvey, and re-
gretting the fact that he had resigned
bis position, authorized Mr. Hulburt,
the State Secretary to secure the services
of some one equally competent with Mr.
Harvey. In this Mr. Hulburt will have
ajob. We doubt if any one fitted so well
for the work he was doing, as was Mr.
Harvey, can bo secured at the starvation
wages, the Bellefonte Y. M. C.A. prom-
ises to pay, and if the directors of that
association, imagine they can find men,
with the ability and character that he
possessed, lying round loose, and willing
to work for cold victuals, and the love of
the cause, they are most egregiously
mistaken. The time for the directors
and friends of the association to have
| wakened up to the necessity of doing
, something, was when they had an’ effi.
cient and popular secretary.

A June WEDDING. —On Wednesday
at noon Miss Ellen Louisa Hale, only
daughter of Mrs. Elias W. Hale, was
married to Mr. George Murray An-
drews in St. John’s Episcopal church by
the Rev. Chas. Hale assisted by the Rev.
George G. Field of Coatsville, cousins of
the bride. The church was beautifully
decorated in pick and white after the
style of the Bradley—Martin wedding
that was so widely illustrated in the
papers, potted plants and palms were
massed about the chancel and bunches
of peonies were tied to the end of each
pew on the middle aisle with white rib-

ushers Messrs John Blanchard, James

merville, the flower girl Miss Mary
gowned in white satin trimmed with
point lace, on the arm of her cousin Mr.
G. H. Morgan of New York. In this or-
der they returned to the chancel where
they were met by the groom and his
best man Mr. W. F. Reynolds.
The wedding which was a very pretty
one was followed by a breakfast at the
home of the bride at which about fifty
guests were present. The young couple
will reside in Bellefonte at the conclu-
sion of their wedding tour, on which
they started on the five twenty train
and which it is understood will continue
until next September. They sail next
Wednesday for England accompanied
by Mrs. Hale the bride’s mother and
Mrs. W. H. Wilkinson.
SAD AcCIDENT.--On Saturday last
while Mr. Frank Resides was engaged
in making repairs to a barn roof upon
the property of Mr. Henry Dale, near
Lemont, a lath upon which he was
standing gave way, precipitating him
a distance of about thirty five feet. In
his fall he struck a board, that formed
part of the floor of a hay mow, breaking
it to pieces and going through to the
ground. The hatchet that he was work-
ing with he clung to and falling upon
the sharp bit made a fearful gash in his
face. He was picked up in an uncon-
scious condition and carried to his home,
a short distance away, where he lingered
until four o'clock on Sunday morning,
when death came to his relief.
Deceased was a son of the venerable
Philip Resides, of Buffalo Run, and was
about 40 years of age. He was a most
estimable citizen, an active member of
the order of Odd Fellows, and was high-
ly respected by all who knew him. He
leaves a wife and six children. The re-
mains were buried Tuesday, a very large
namber of neighbors and friends attend-
ing the ceremonies.
PREVENTED A WRECK.—A little fel-
low named G. M. Miller, aged about
twelve years, prevented what might have
proven a frightful wreck on the Lewis.
burg railroad on Saturday last. He was
coming up the track, in the neighbor-
hood of Cherry Run, and discovered the
ties and timber of the trestle at that point
on fire. It wasabout the time the freight
train from this place down was due and
the boy lost no time in getting away
from the fire and flagged the train just
in time to save it from running onto the
burning trestle. An examination of the
work the fire had done showed a lot of
ties burned away from the rails and other
timbers so charred and destroyed that it
took hours of labor to rebuild and brace
before the train could pass over. Had
it not been for the presence of mind that
the boy exhibited, a fearful wreck would
have been the result.
Narrow EscaPE.—On Monday,
down at McCalmont & Co’s lime quar-
ries while some of the men were strip-
ping a ledge of over-hanging rocks, the
mass gave away and fell to the bottom
of the quarry, a distance of about seven-
ty five feat, carrying with it the fore-
man Mr. Theodore McNickels. Luck-
ily Mr. McNickels, was able to main-
tain his position on top of the rocks as
they fell, and when extricated from
among the stones and loose soil that cov-
ered him, he was found to be alive, al-
though considerably bruised and cut.
He was taken to his home where he is
now nursing his wounds and hopes to
be back at work in a short time. His
escape was miraculous as the mass of
rocks along with which he fell, would
aggregate fully fifteen thousand tons.
ACADEMY AND MILESBURG TAKE
WARNING.—You have often heard of.
newspaper jokes on the danger of um-
piring a game of base ball, but David
Corcoran, an umpire at Altoona, was
met by a crowd of men one evening this
week, who took exceptions to his de-
cisions and a free fight took place.
Corcoran came out of the battle so badly
used up that he was taken to the hospit-
al for repairs. —Tyrone Times.
