A GreEaT BuUsiNgss NEARING ITs
END.-The people of the Clearfield region,
while joyfully celebrating the prom-
ise of future brightness which the open-
ing of the new Clearfield and Mahoning
railroad brings them, are not unmindful
that the march of time takes from them
an industry which bears an interesting
history. A writer in the Rafisman’s
Journal, in noting the change which
time has wrought, looks back over the
pleasant times of coaching and gives his
reflections expression as follows :
Amidst the universal jubilation over
the new railway, one sad thought will
intrude itself. The old Rockton road
and all its picturesque surroundings,
must be abandoned. No more shall we
hear the melodious voice of the genial
Banks cry out at noontide, ‘All aboard |
for DuBois I” No more shall we em-
bark on Jim Leavy’s famous and lux-
urious stage coaches to wend our solita-
ry way over the mountain. Never
again shall we travel slowly through
Paradise, and cast one long lingering
look behind at the abodes of the blest
before starting on our journey to the
other region, called by the inhabitants,
DuBois. Who does not remember the
way we used to wind up the old moun-
tain road bordered on either side by
woods and ferns? Who does not recall
the lightning glimpse of the fleet deer
through the brush wood, and the sudden
jolts that sent us closer to the sweet dear
who was our fellow passenger? Who
does not recollect stopping at the sum-
mit to gaze upon the misty hue, outline
of Boone mountain in the far distance ?
Who did not linger to quaff one
draught from the famous Rock Spring ?
‘Who did not wish when he saw the
quiet peacefulness of Rockton, that he
might remain there forever ? Who
did not get seriously ‘‘mashed’’ on the
shy “Maud Mullers” who gave us ber-
ries and glasses of delicious buttermilk,
as we passed the farm houses ? Who
does not recall how we relieved our ach-
ing bones by walking through the mire
and up the steep hills, and by cursing
our driver, Methusaleh, who used to
chuckle at us in his big beard ? Who
was not so tired after our four hours’
journey as not to be glad to get even to
DuBois, or, indeed, to any other place ?
" All these joys are done forever. The
old road knows us no more. The rab-
bit, the squirrel, the raccoon, the deer,
and other more odorous animals have
complete possession of it. The old
stages will be cut up for firewood. The
old horses will be made into bologna
sausages. The old driver will adorn the
court house benches. They are all gone
and we ara reduced to traveling in an
every day modern train. There are re-
collections from which we may be
divorced but never from these. We
will even miss the annual application to
the Court to order money to repair the
road. We resign ourselves with
equanimity to the comforts of civiliza-
tion, but at the same time cannot help
regretting the good old time.”
“When by the stage we used to travel
Slowly o’er the Rockton road,
And our aching bones would vainly
Pray for our more blest abode.”
In connection with the ending of
travel by the old fashioned overland
stage coach in the Clearfield region we
might mention the decline of its once
wonderful lumber business. ‘With each
successive spring the depletion of the
great forests makes itself more evident.
There is less of the rafting because there
is practically no more timber tracts for
the woodsman’s ax and the one time
profitable business in which so many
stalwart men found employment is
gone. The Pennfield Press says, “The
last saw log Fas been floated down the
Bennett's branch of the Sinnemahoning
past the town of Pennfield, and it marks
the close of an important epoch in the
history of that town. In 1854, Hiram
Woodward led a colony from “Tee
Lehigh to Slabtown, in 1856 moving
to Pennfield. Mr. Woodward put in
and floated away no'less than two bun-
dred million feet of pine alone for Read-
ing, Fisher & Co.”
CENTRE HALL WILL CELEBRATE
THE FOURTH IN A GLORIOUS STYLE.—
The citizens of Centre Hall are making
elaborate preparations for the glorious
celebration of July 4th. A monster
parade and picnic, together with bicycle
and foot races, speaking, grand pyro-
technic displays, a ball game and othe,
attractions are being held out as induce-
ments to draw a crowd.
An excursion train will leave Belle-
fonte about 9:30 o’clock in the morning,
riving at Ceatre Hall about 10:30. Af-
ter arrival of train the monster parade
will be started. In the evening a train
will leave Bellefonte about six o'clock,
and will leave Centre Hall about nine
for Coburn. Returning will leave Cen-
tre Hall for Bellefonte at 10.
Many bands and secret organizations
from all over the county will partici-
pate in the parade.
——On Wednesday morning Rev.
McArdle pronounced the ceremony
which made Mary Bronoel, of Miles-
burg, the wife of Patrick Hayes, of

——Says an exchange, if your
has an aunt who has a nephew
wife has a cousin that is married to an
old friend of your wife’s sister, whose
grandfather used to live in the same
town with an old school mate of yours,
should at once renew the acquaintance
with a view of saving hotel bills while
attending the World’s Fair. This
scheme can be worked successfully in
many instances.
——A metropolitan editor states a
truth thus forcibly : “A newspaper
man’s space is just the same as the stock
in trade of a merchant. Every line
that the publisher gives to boom the
town or say good words to the people
should come back to him some way by
a generous support. The publisher has
space to let and the business man is wise
who contracts for some of that space “to
let” the people know what he has to
sell”.
—— While playing ball at Juniata
park, last Saturday afternoon, Max
Meindel, manager of the Defiance club,
of Altoona, was struck just above the
left ear by a pitched ball. A broken ar-
tery resulted ia his death early Sunday
morning.” The unfortunate young
man was twenty-five years old and very
popular. His last words were.
“Mother, I was hit by a ball and am
awful sick; send for a doctor and the
priest.”
——The series between the Academy
and Milesburg base ball teams was con-
cluded on Saturday afternoon at the
Park. Each club had won two, and
consequently Saturday’s game was look-
ed forward tv with much interest. The
Academy won by the score of 4 to 2.
The games of the series were all inter-
esting and both teams conducted them-
selves in a gentlemanly manner highly
gratifying to those who had th> pleas-
ure of watching the games.
——J. W. Ellwood, the notorious
post office burglar who was in the
Huntingdon jail awaiting trial for oper-
ating along the main line between Har-
risburg and Pittsburg, walked out of
jail on Saturday morning. A black-
smith had just filed his irons off so that
United States Marshall Harrah could
‘remove him to Pittsburg. When the
turnkey was'nt looking Ellwood walked
off. He isthe fifth prisoner who has
escaped from the Huntingdon jail in as

There is a movement on toot to have
the Regiment come here for its summer
outing and if the thing is properly
worked the end can be accomplished.
At the dedication of the Sheridan troop
armory, in Tyrone, the other evening,
Governor Pattison and General Snow-
den both expresso? themselves as very
favorable to Bellefonte or vicinity as a
camping place for the 65th. No more
desirable place could be found than
Hunter’s Park or the McCoy meadow
just below town. Abundant waler
and good drill grounds are to be had at
both places.

THAT GooD REFORMED SABBATH
ScHOOL As A RAIN-MAKER,—There are
some things that prove greater blessings
to a community than others, which
statement of itself need not startle any-
one, but when we infirm you, dear
readers, that we Lave right here
in Bellefonte an organization which un-
conscious1y does the community more
good than anything else we know of,
there is reason why you should prick up
your ears with interest.
For sixteen long days a hot June sun
had baked the earth in this vicinity un-
‘| til there was very little hope for the fall
crops. The corn was backward and
looking bad, the grain was not filling
well, the grass was burnt brown and
everyone was praying for rain yet not a
teaspoonfull of it fell to quench the
thirst of the parched earth. Dust on
the public road stood three inches deep,
farmers did not know what to do and
poor Bellefonte wassweltering in the heat
and filth, until this little organization
came to the relief of all.
Several weeks ago Rev. Miles O. Ncll
called his little fiock of christian work-
ers about him and suggested the idea of
having a picnic on June 21st, the long-
est and for them he hoped the happiest
day of the year. With one accord the
children voted ‘‘yea’” on the question
and at once set about laying plans fora
holiday at the Park. Mammas began
to prepare cakes and sweetmeats for the
little ones and the larger children
dreamed every night of boating on the
beautiful little lake and playing ball
and tennis on the Athletic} grounds.
Everything went well until Wednesday
morning came when all wakened up
bright and early only waiting for the
departure of the train to realize all the
pleasant dreams of weeks before. Lit-
tle parties of four and five, and more,
began arriving at the station as early as
8 o’clock to be on time for the train
which was scheduled an hour and a halt
later. When tickets had been procured
and all were just ready to board the
summer cars, lo and behold, rain began
falling in torrents from a sky which for
more than two weeks had teen azure
and cloudless. Not content with a
heavy shower 1t kept raining all day
and the poor Reformed Sunday school
had unsciously established a reputation
as a rain maker which will not be sur-
passed by any of General Dyrenforth’s
machines.
It is a singular fact that it has rained
every time for years that this demoni-
nation has gone to picnic and in many
instances its picnic day has marked the
end of a drought as it has this time.
There used to be a time when the editor
of this paper could bring rain by going
to the mountains fishing, but now since
he has caught all the speckled beauties
in the streams, for miles around, it is
well that we have another raputable
rain-maker,
A New Bask BALL LEAGUE ORGAN-
1ZED.—On Tuesday evening a party of
gentlemen including John Anderson
and W. H. Scullin, of Tyrone; D.
Spence, manager of the Demorest club
of Williamsport, and a number of our
own enthusiasts met at the Bush House
in this place to talk over the advisability
of organizing a base ball league which
would embrace the towns of Renova,
Williamsport, Lock Haven, Bellefonte
and Tyrone. Renova sent a proxy with
a statement that her people are perfect-
ly willing to do whatever Bellefonte
does. Lock Haven was not represented,
but it is thought she will come in after
while.
The question of the organization ot
such a League was looked at in all of
its possible phases and nothing but a
successful season could be foreseen for it.
So it was accordingly organized, the
following officers having been chosen to
preside over the organization: Presi-
dent, John N. Lane, Bellefonte; vice
president, W. H. Scullin, Tyrone; se.-
retary, R. N. Roberts, Renova ; treasur-
er, David Spence, Williamsport, A
committee on by-laws was appointed as
as follows: John M. Dale, W. H. Scul-
lin, David Spence. The committee to
arrange a schedule was announced as fol-
lows: Hard Harris, Bellefonte ; Fred
Gould, Williamsport; M. L. Roach,
Renova ; Claude Jones, Tyrone; G. W.
Bickford, Lock Haven.
A schedule and constitution commit-
tee was appointed. It will report its
work to the various clubs for adoption
and itis hoped the schedule will start
the clubs playing ball by July 1st. The
organization will be known as the Riv-
er league, Forty dollar guarantees
will be paid visiting clubs and no re-
strictions will be placed on the hiring
of players.

—A number of distinguished personages

of Pennsylvania. They appraised. the prope
erty and the court will grant damages accord-
ingly. Among the group were Andrew Jack.
| son Greist, of Unionville, whose aspirations to
take care of the county’s strong box are lead-
ing him to do a great deal of hustling and he
has made up his mind that the campaign is
| getting pretty hot. Andrew Gregg Esq., of
| Potter township, than whom there is no better
known farmer in the county and who at one
| ttme served his party as ‘commissioner, was
one of the party. D. G. Meek, of Ferguson
i township, lent his judgment to the

; drive down the valley. Then there was that
‘honored gentlemen John B. Mitchell, of Pine
Grove Mills, an ex-county treasurer,
whose earnest, quiet manner marks him the
old time gentleman that he is. Bald Eagle's
metropolis was represented hy Balser Weber

has brought him into a position of prominence
and affluence in the county. The sixth mem-
ber of the party was W.C. Patterson Esq., of
State College, a man whose work is recognized
in agricultural circles everywhere and whose
Democracy is unimpeashable. The last man
on the view was that well known college town-
ship husbandman, Mr. Hutch Mitchell, no less
in ability than the others of the party and ad-
ding much to its general appearance; by his
presence.

THEY AssisTED Him ALoNG.—It was
a pitiful sight on Monday evening, the
day Main’s circus showed in town, to
witness the big strong elephant being
prodded and coaxed through the streets
from the show grounds to the siding
where the company’s cars were. The
poor beast had been maimed in the Ty-
rone disaster and was hobbling along
with a severely sprained hind leg. Al«
though the distance was but & half mile
it occupied between two and three hours
to complete the journey. It is to be
said for the keeper that he was very
considerate for the feelings of his big
friend, and boys and girls eased its
journey by liberal donations of peanuts
and bananas along the way.—Lewis-
