How Jas. Curry Was KILLED.—
The following particulars of the death
of Mr. Jas. Curry. formerly of this
place, to which reference jwas made in
the last issue of the WATCHMAN, we get
from the Buffalo Express :
“One of the saddest and most shock-
ing accidents to railroad employees, in
the history of the long list of railroad
maimed and killed, occurred at the
Abbott Road crossing at the Nickel
Road tracks last Tuesday morning,
when Mr. James A. Curry, General
Yardmaster of the Nickel Plate road,
and his first assistant yardmaster, Mr.
Wm. H. Thompson, met instant death
under the wheels of switch engine
No. 34. J
A long west bound train had just
been made up and was ready for depar-
ture and Yardsman Curry ordered en-
gine 34 to get the caboose and place it
on the rear of this train.
It was just 11.55 o'clock when both
Curry and Thompson stood in the mid-
dle of the track next the waiting train,
discussing the work of the afternoon
and examining a chart of tracks, where-
on certain work was to be done. En-
gine 34 for the moment was forgotten
and all unconscious of the terrible fate
bearing down upon them, the men
stood deep in the theme of their after-
noon duties. A sudden cry of horror
froze to their lips, a groan, a crushing
and mangling of human flesh and bones
beneath the cruel, merciless wheels of
engine 34 and all was over.
Their companions gathered up the
remains and tenderly carried them to
the operator's office close by and sum-
moned the ambulance. But it was the
Coroner and not the ambulance that
was needed, for life had departed.
Mr. Curry, who was frightfully cut
and mangled, lived about eighteen
minutes, but was unable to speak. Mr:
Thompson died instantly, his skull
being crushed and neck broken.
Both mea stood high in the esteem of
our people, were well liked, and will be
much missed by all who knew them.
The entire community extends deepest
sympathy to the bereaved families.”
— Following is the weathér and
crop report for week ending September
11, 1898: ‘Except in those sections
visited by the thunder and hail storms
of the 7th, the rainfall for the week has
been below the usual amount. Through-
out the mountains of the upper Sus-
quehanna, and locally elsewhere, severe
storms accompanied by hail and high
wind, did considerable damage to life
and property. The greatest damage re-
ported was from Westfield, Tioga
county, where, it is said, the storm was
the worst of which there isa record.”
In the southeastern, southern, south-
western and extreme northwestern
counties little or no rainfall was receiv-
ed, the greatest amounts reported occur-
ring in the Alleghenies. The tempera.
ture has been nearly normal in the
counties east of the mountains, and
along Lake Erie, while in the south-
west there was slightly warmer weather;
the excess in temperature being about 8
degrees per day. About 80 per cent. of
possible amount of sunshine was receiv-
ed in the eastern portion and about 70
per cent. elsewhere. On the whole, the
weeks weather has been very favorable
in its effect upon the crops. Grass has
greatly recovered from the drouth and
fall pasture is said to be in good condi-
tion. Corn and potatoes have, without
doubt, been improved, though the yield
will nowhare be above the average, and,
in most cases, considerably below. Some
potatoes tbat have been lifted are well
formed and of good size, but many say
the crop is very poor. Hardly enough
have yet been raised to form an estimate
of the crop. Tobacco cutting is pro-
gressing. The York correspondent says
the crop is mentioned as “pretty fair in
sections not injured by hail.” Much of
the crop 18 yet green. The Westfield,
Tioga county, correspondent says the
storm of the 7th ‘blew down three-
quarters of all the tobacco sheds along
this valley. All the best tobacco was
_cut and in the sheds and was nearly
ruined. The hail destroyed nearly all
that was not cut.”
In this, Centre county, but little
damage was done to any crops by
storms. The corn was badly tangled
and some of it will be very hard to
gather, but aside from this our farmers
have great reason to be thankful.
Corn cutting has begun. The stalks
are generally very badly tangled, mak-
ing work slow and tedious. In Clear-
field county it is said that grub worms
have considerably damaged the corn, as
well as the potatoes and grass. In
Tioga and adjoining counties this crop
suffered from the hail storm of the 7th.
Buckwheat is being harvested with a
light crop, generally. Fall seeding
continues. Some young wheat is above
ground and looks well. The ground is |
generally in excellent condition for
ploughing.
——Temperance sentiment has been
ripe in Bellefonte during the past week.
Major Hilton has conducted a series of
gospel temperance meetings in the Court |
House in his own inimitable and impres-
sive way, and it must be that such
words as have fallen from his earnest
lips during the progress of his meetings
could not have been uttered in vain.
Who can measure the influence and the
beneficial effect of the addresses, of such
a sincere and eloquent temperance ora-
tor as Mr. Hilton ? Would that we
had more of such workers in our midst.
Certainly there was never a time in the
history of Bellefonte when forcible tem-
perance agitation was more needed than
to-day. In face of the untiring labors
of our few faithful temperance workers
it is a deplorable statement to make but
God knows it is true. The drinking
habit of the polite, the sociable, the oc-
casional order, is fast gathering within
its fatal and unrelenting grasp
some of Bellefonte’s best and brightest
young men, and oh, how successful
they are in concealing this fact from
their nearest and dearest friends. It is
an awful thought to think that soon
many of these young men, some of
them young men in whom we ourselves
may be interested most, will have reach-
ed that point when they are irretriev-
able lost to that most destructive of
habits. Too much agitation and earn-
est work can not be made in the inter-
est of temperance. Perhaps a little
stronger talking at the home in the pre-
sence of the young men, against the
cause of the liquor traffic would be af-
fective ; and the young ladies, by show-
ing their utter disgust for young men
who will presume to talk to them with
liquor on their breath, might exercise a
very healthful iufluence along the lines
of temperance, Try it girls and watch
results.
TaE GRANGER PIcNic.—Our Gran-
ger friends who have been enjoying
their annual picnic over at Centre Hall,
since Saturday last, have certainly been
blessed with pleasant weather, and we
hope have been experiencing a pleasant
and profitable time. Although Mon-
day was advertised as the day the en-
campment would begin, many concluded
to spend Sunday on the grounds, and
on Saturday pitched their tents, so that
when visitors and others who desired to
worship with the Grangers reached the
grounds on Sunday morning, they found
some forty tents occupied, and a goodly
number of the solid farmers of the
county, with their wives and families,
ready to extend them hearty welcome.
During Sunday upwards of a thousand
persons, from the surrounding towns and
valleys, visited the grounds, and partici-
pated in the religious services conducted
by the pastors of the different churches
at Centre Hall.
Since last year’s encampment a large.
airy, auditorium has been erected which
is said will.seat 1000 persons. It takes
the place of the big tent used for meet-
ings and in size, accommodations and
comfort is a vast improvement upon it.
The new suditorium has a good sized
stage neatly decorated, and presents
quite an attractive appearance. Itisin
this that the meetings are held, and here
is where the men and women who are
advertised to talk find attentive and in-
telligent audiences, anxious to hear new
experiences or learn new methods that
will lighten the labor, or make more
profitable the products, of the farm. On
Sunday three good sermons were
preached from the stage of this auditori-
um.
SPEAKERS AND ENTERTAINMENTS.
On Monday, Hon. Leonard Rhone,
Mr. I. S. Frain, Col. Jas. F. Weaver,
and Mr. H. N. Hoy, all delivered ad-
dresses to fair audiences,
The entertainments of Tuesday, were
in the forenoon,’a women’s meeting di-
rected and presided over by Mrs. C. W.
Roberts, of Westchester, a lady who has
long been identified with the work of
the Grange; A short address by Mrs,
Johnson ; an interesting and instructive
lecture on the sciences connected with
agricultural pursuits, by Dr. Frear of
the State College ; and a talk by Mr. R,
H. Thomas, Secretary of the State
Grange, on the history of the organiza-
tion, its work and prospects; and in the
afternoon, speeches by ex-Gov. Beaver,
Gen. Hastings and Mrs. Carrie Twing
of New York. .
On Wednesday, Bennet, the Kansas
Cyclone ; State Lecturer Ailman; Sec-
retary Thomas and Mrs. Twing, did the
talking ; winding up thedays entertain-
ment with a sterioptican exhibit of Chi-
cago’s great show.
The speakers for Thursday were:
Messrs McSparran, of Lancaster, Ben-
ninger, of Montgomery, Prof. Ball, of
the State weather service, Mrs. Twing,
Prof. Rothrick, of the State Forestry
Commission, Hon. Gerard C. Brown
Hon. A. L. Taggert and Mrs. Johnson,
of Erie. The days entertainment con.
cluded with a sterioptican view of the
Chicago Exposition.
There is one fact connected with the
picnic this year that will go far toward
restoring confidence hereafter in the
statements of its management, and that
is, that there has been no attempt to de-
ceive the public by advertising that
Presidents, and Governors, and all the
_ great men in the country would be there
‘ to address the crowd. This year the
speakers and attractions promised were
there, and those who went cannot come
away complaining that} there was de-
ception used to se cure their attendance.
In this there was a marked and credita”
ble improvement over former years.
In addition to the hand organs in the
side shows, the Howard band furnished
the music for Saturday, and the Aarons-
burg band, that bas made some im-
provement since last fall, did this work
for the balance of the week.
EXHIBITS.
The exhibits so far as your corres-
pondent can judge, are of about the same
character, quantity and quality, except in
the live stock department, that has been
on hand each year. In live stock there
is a decid ed improvement over the ex-
hibits of any former year, and although
by no means numerous, or representa-
tive of the stock of the county, some ex-
ceedingly fine ani mals are to be seen.
Master of the County Grange Mr. Isaac
Frain, ‘exhibits 4 number of fine
horses, brought from his farm in Marion
township, one French coach horse, the
others Percherons. The Edmound stock
farm, at Scipio, New York, has on ex-
hibition some imported French coach and
other horses, all of which are good spec-
imens of finely bred stock. Mr.. W. M.
Benninger, of Walnutport, Pa., ex.
hibits a herd of pure blooded Jersey's,
that attract much attention and receive
much praise. Mr. Geo. W. Musser, of
Filmore, makes a very creditable exhibit
of two fine Jer sey calves, some Poland
China pigs, and a coop of fifty chickens,
all showing good breeding and most ex-
cellent care. These constitute the’stock
exhibits, and in fact the entire exhibit
of the encampment so far as exhibits go,
with the exception of the magnificient
display of flowers, plants, wheat, oats;
other grains, ete., from the State Col-
lege and Experiment Station, and
which in the beauty of their arrange-
ments and the quality they show are
deserving and receiving the; praise of
everybody.
To be sure there are the usual stores ;
the usual pea-nut stands ; the usual soda
counters ; the confectionaries; the im-
plement men ; the patent right venders;
the whip sellers ; the lunch counters;
the side shows; agents; fakirs; hack-
men ; candidates etc., on exhibition,
but these latter are there to sell their
wares and can in no way be classed as
instruct those in attendance, or to ex-
hibit that which they have produced
either from the farm or the factory.
- Last year the WATCHMAN, with the
friendliest feeling for the success of the
encampment, called attention to some
needed improvements for the conven-
ience and comforts of visitors, and to
some required changes that wonld fur-
nish entertainment and instruction for
the crowds that were solicited to be
present, if the picnic was to be a success
in the future. It was answered by a
scurrilous attack on all the county pa-
pers, (excepting one) made by, the chief
controller of the enterprise, and in place
of accepting the advise given, an at-
tempt to ignore the county press and to
get along without it or the improve-
ments suggested, was made. The re-
sult is now visible to the Grangers
and the public in the little interest that
has been shown by the people in the en-
campment this year, in the lessened
crowds that have been in attendance,
and in the general verdict that one hears
on all sides that neither exhibits, at-
tractions, or attendance was what was
anticipated jor hoped f or.
In fact the number of visitors to the
Grange park this year has been less by
one-half than during any year the
Grangers have tented there ; the number
of tents occupied are less and the public
interest, which has heretofore shown
itself by the crowds in attendance, has
materially . decreased. From this side
not one fourth as many people have at-
tended. Long trains of cars that at for-
mer encampments were crowded to their
fullest capacity, have run this year at
times without passengers, and at others
less than half filled. At no time, ex-
cept on Thursday, would one have
known, by watching the station here and
Yhe trains as they left, that anything out
of the usual way was going on, or that
there was an encampment or exhibition
at Centre Hall. Up to 5 o'clock "on
Thursday afternoon, the entire number
of tickets sold from the station at this
place to the pic-nic, since its commence-
ment was 769. Up to the same hour
at former pic-nics, the number sold run
up into the thousands.
It is possible that the management of
the picnic will attribute their failure to
attract the crowd, they have had on
former occasions, to different
than those we suggested last year as be-
ing responsible for the dissatisfaction
that seemed so general among the mul-
titude. We spoke honestly and plainly
then when we told what the trouble
was, 88 we had learned it from the lips
of tired and disappointed attendants.
We believe yet that we were right and
that the experience of this year shows
how correct we were.
‘Whether the management will profit
by the lesson that this years bir who
should teach it, is to be seen.

warmest s mpsthy in this their hour of grief,
and that the Lodge Charter be draped for a
period of thirty days and that a copy of these
resolutions be given the family and that an-
other copy be inscribed on our minutes aud be
