THINGS ABOUT TOWN & COUNTY
——John Ascheroft and family, of
Philipsburg, have become residents of
Patton Cambria county.
——The Board of Trade is still show-
ing signs of new life, and may ‘reasona-
bly hope to hear some very interesting
news in the near future.
——Miss R. L. Irvine, of Centre Hall
started, on Thursday last, for Yokoha-
ma Japan, where she will do mission
work in connection with a girl’s school.
—— A series of meetings are being
conducted in the Christian Church at
Howard by Rev. Burgan, of Kammerer,
Pa. They will be continued about two
weeks.
— The Hilton meetings have been
well attended this week. The religious
meetings held every day and the tem-
perance meetings held every night must
result in good.
——The strike at Wigton & sons,
mines near Philipsburg, was declared off
on Thursday of last week, and business
has been going on there since, as if noth-
ing had occurred:
——Now for the chestnuts. It is
strange in the nutting season with our
mountain so full of chestnut trees, that
we hear of so few parties organized for a
day's sport in this way.
——Since Bellefonte has been adver-
tised as having a ‘‘spook,” that followed
people on the streets, Philipsburg has
been trying to make itself believe it
has a haunted bakery.
——Mr. Geo. Stine of Union town-
ship, will havea public sale on the 30th,
at which time he will offer two good
horses, a cow, shoats and other property
to the highest bidder, His residence is
on Dick’s Run.
——1It is said that large deposits of
valuable clay suitable for manufacture
of terra-cotto-ware, Sewer pipes, brick
etc., has been discovered at Washing-
ton Furnace near the line between this
and Clinton county.
——To one who stands upon Half-
moon hill and gazes upon the pictur-
esque view that is visible from that
point, the thought must surely occur to
him of the beautiful site it would make
for a large summer hotel.
——DBass fishing the past season has
been better down Bald Eagle, than it
has ever been known to be, or the fellows
who have been trying it have been edu.
cated up to telling bigger lies about the
splendid catches they make.
——Most Centre county people who
expect to visit the fair, have been there
and back. From this on the attendance
from this section will be very small,
compared with the many who have been
going and returning all summer.
——“Alvin Joslyn” with Charles L.
Davis in the cast comes tothe opera
house next Tuesday evening. The
trained domestic animals and all the
other scenes down on the farm go to
make it an ideal play of country life.
——Among medern improvements
the trolley system has become extreme-
ly popular. We shall not be surprised
in the near future, if times brighten up
around us, to see a trolley road run-
ning between Belletonte and Milesburg.
Let it come.
Rumor has 1t that Mr. E. J.
Swavely, well known hereabouts has
purchased the interest of Mrs. Nolan in
the big hotel at Snow Shoe, and will
shortly become proprietor of that estab-
lishment. Mrs. Nolan, we understand
purposes making an extended visit in
the west.
——Despite the dull times, improve-
ments cannot stop with us. The new
brown stone stable erected by Fred
Reynolds and the beautiful drive and
lawn made where the Hayes house stood,
have converted that part of Linn street
into a very fine locking property. Far-
ther up Linn street Mr. Miller’s new
house is assuming gradually an appear-
ance of beauty.
——The Corner stone of the Marsh
Creek Baptist Mission Church will be
laid, with appropriate ceremonies, on
Sunday October 1st at eleven o’clock a.
m, Rev. S. F. Forges, Chaplain of the
Huntingdon Reformatory, assisted by
other ministers, will conduct the exer-
cises, A cordial invitation is extended
to christian people of all denominations
to be present.
——The rains of last week were most
welcome showers to the farmers. Many
of them had been unable to complete
their ploughing for fall seeding, in con-
sequence of the drought. There is no
such complaint now, In addition to
enabling them to complete their seeding,
that portion of the fall grain, that had
already been planted, has been given a
start that makes it look most promising
and every hody is thankful for the
blessed showers.
| Uxgustr ap UNFAIR TO BELLE-
Fill ronTE.—The Gazette of Saturday last
| imagined it had discovered a ‘‘mare’s
! nest,” in an injunction asked for, by the
: Pennsylvania Railroad Company, re-
' straining the corporation now building
the new road to Mill Hall {from occupy-
"ing or controlling the branch running
from the Valentine Iron works to their
banks down Nittany Valley. From its
assertions, the public would be led to
believe that the great object of the Penn-
sylvania Company was to prevent the
completion of the new road, and that
unless the public would rise up in open
rebellion against a decision as to the
ownership of this"little branch, that all
hope of a competing line of road would
vanish, and all hope of Bellefonte’s fu-
ture prosperity go with it.
The fact is, that the injunction
asked is not to prevent the building of
the road from this place to Mill Hall, or
to throw obstacles in the way of its early
completion, but is simply, as we under-
stand, to determine as to the rightful
ownership of ‘what is now known as the
Nittany Valley railroad, and which, it
is proposed shall be used as a branch of
the new road.
The determination of this question,
let it go as it may, will not prevent or
delay work on the main line between
this place and Mill Hall, nor will its de-
cision, even if favorable to the Pennsyl-
vania Company, prevent Bellefonte
from securing a competing line.
That the Pennsylvania road has the
right to prove title to any property it
lays claim to, no one of sense will dis-
pute, and considering the facts that for
many years it has furnished the citizens
of Bellefonte with facilities for travel
equaling those furnished any other town
in the state, and carried their freights at
the same rates that were charged com-
munities blessed with competing lines,
it should at least be allowed to test its
title to property claimed, without being
subjected to the prejudices created by
the false charge of attempting to pre-
vent the completion of another line, or
the more untruthful one that our citi-
zens have been subject to extortionate
freight charges for years.
The WATCHMAN is neither the de-
fender of, nor apologist, for the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, but it does not believe in
letting the impression go forth, that
this community either considers or be-
lieves that this great corporation has
damaged the town, or robbed its citi-
zens, as the Gazette charges it has done
Attempts to frighten proposed investors
by making believe we are in danger of
loosing the benefit of a competing line,
or to arouse prejudices and create dif-
ferences and difficulties between inter-
ests that should work together, and must
depend upon each other for success, is
no way to benefit a locality or secure for
our town that prosperity that every one
of 1ts citizens wish it.
The truth is, the baseless and sense-
less cry that Bellefonte interests have
been crushed and discriminated against
by the Pennsylvania railroad, has done
more injury to the town than any one
other thing. It has prevented, is calcu-
lated to prevent, and will prevent invest-
ments here. No man but a fool would
locate in business industries in a town
that was discriminated against, and
robbed, as the Gazette alleges Bellefonte
has been. Making these charges when
they are not correct, is what is keeping
investors from benefiting by the many
natural advantages our place offers.
For years the Pennsylvania road has
been subjected to these charges, al-
though all the time our people were
having their freights carried in and out,
at the same rates either Clearfield, Phil-
ipsburg, Lock Haven or Williamsport
people, all having competing lines, were
charged. We protest that this is no
way to induce capital to come here, and
we assure our uptown neighbor, that no
matter what its personal grievance may
be, the citizen and business industries
of Bellefonte are not to be dragged into
a foolish and suicidal fight with the
Pennsylvania company, in consequence
of a legal contest between it and other
claimants as to the ownership of the
four mile branch referred too.
Injunction or no injunction the new
road will be built and Bellefonte will
prosper.
Knock Him Down. —One of our ex-
changes gives the following bit of advice
which the WaArcHMAN feels like pass-
ing along with a recommendation to
carry it out: “When a man play-
fully points a pistol or gun at you,
knock him down ; don’t stop to
inquire whether it iz loaded or not;
knock him down. Don't be particular
what you knock hit down withionly
see that he is thoroughly knocked down.
If a coroner's inquest must be held, let
it be on’ the other fellow-~he won't be
missed.”

——Next Tuesday night Charles L.
Davis comes to the opera house with his
own production of the “Alvin Joslyn.”
—— Clearfield has a white man, or a
fellow who thinks he is one, who has
taken out a licence to marry & negro,
and an other chap who has the papers
to marry his Aunt.
——Thos. Smart is in the Lock Hav-
en jail charged with burning his father’s
barn and horses. By the time he gets
through he will probably conclude that
there is nothing smart about that kind
of work.
—— We admire a man of regular
habits. They indicate a careful, thought-
ful, citizen. His family knows when to
look for him, and the dinner has never
to wait until cold for him to be on
hand. But men of regular habits get
people into trouble sometimes, as well
as others. The other night an east
Bishop street resident happend to go
home at eight o'clock. He had been
so regular in his habits of staying out
that his family is frightened about the
matter and don’t know what to make
of it, and there is no telling either what
trouble is going to grow out of his
indiscrimination.
——1If there is such a body as a Law
and Order Society in this town, no
better service can be rendered the com-
munity than by making an example of
a few of the men and boys, who stand on
the bridge or up around the diamond
in the evening, and use vulgar and pro-
fane language in the hearing of ladies
and children passing by. The law im-
poses a fine for every oath uttered, and
the offender can be arrested, taken be-
fore a magistrate, and a penalty impos-
ed. A lady cannot walk by either of
these places after dark without her ears,
being offended by profanity or worse.
The suppression of this would be far more
creditable than were the exertions re-
cently made to surpress the sale of
Sunday newspapers.
——The annual early fall foot-ball
excitement is upon us again as the
“rushers, the tacklers and punters’’ are
once more 1n the land. It is surprising
to notice how the foot-ball elevens are
multiplying each year ‘all over the
country. Rough as itis, its exciting
fascination has been increasing its pop-
ularity each year so that to-day ’tis
foot-ball and foot-ball alone that can
attract a crowd of thirty-thousand spec-
tators. When we think of the severe’
and careful training that young men
must pass through to représent their
colleges on their varsity elevens, we
can hardly hesitate to exclaim ‘hail
foot-ball, thou art making strong able-
bodied men of those who otherwise
might become dissipated nothings.”
Early hours, freedom from injuries
habits, and carefully selected food, are
required of all candidates for the teams
from the time the foot-ball season opens,
until the great championship game of
Thanksgiving day has been played and
lost or won. Itisa game of muscle
against muscle and muscle is only crea-
ted by temperate habits and regular ex-
ercise. We hope to see soms good games
near home this fall. The college boys
will have a superior eleven and manager
Quigley, we understand, has arranged
for three or four first class games to be
played on the college grounds. When
they are played we bespeak a large and
enthusiastic crowd from athletic gBelle-
fonte. If the people turn out atone
game, they will not fail to see every
other game played within a radius of
thirty miles.
——The picnic season has about ter-
minated and Hunters Park which has
been the mecca for the pleasure seekers,
not only of Bellefonte and vicinity, but
even of Lock Haven and other distant
points during the past summer will
perhaps enjoy a period of secluded
rest during the months to come. An
occasional ball game or stray picnic
gathering may yet occur while the
leaves are falling, but they will serve
merely to remind one of the gala time
experienced there during the vacation
days. Two much appreciation can
neither be felt not expressed for the ef-
forts of the Bellefonte Central Railroad
eompany which have resulted in pro-
viding us with one of the most beautiful
and attractive little parks to be found
anywhere. It is always a pleasure when
guests.are among us to suggest a day's
outing at the Park and never have our
friends from distant points visited this
one spot among Pennsylvania's enchant-
ing spots that they have not been
charmed with its loveliness, The
swings, the boats, the dancing pavilion,
the neat cooking facilities, the rustic
seats and the romantic nooks, the tenni8
court and last but not least the elegant
ball grounds, certainly make Hunterg
Park a sporty retreat, and it is not
therefore, surprising that picnic parties
from Lock Haven and distant parts of
this country selected it as the scene for
their joy and merriment this season.
Next year we expect to hear of an al-
most infinite number of picnic parties
arranged by the various churches, and
miscellaneous organizations of Centre

Tee Dixges-GrReeN WEDDING. —
The summer simplicity which generally
characterizes warm weather nuptials
is no longer a matter of fashiona-
ble necessity and the bride of this
month may surround her wedding
with as much ceremony as she pleases.
A glorious September day, touching
everything with golden sunshine, seems |
the giftof the Gods for a wedding
day.
Such a one wasthat of Miss Cathe-
rine, daughter of F. Potts Green and
Mr. Clevan Dinges of Williamsport.
The wedding, charming and conducted
with perfect taste, was solemnized on
Wednesday, September the twentieth,
in the Presbyterian church, Rev. Dr.
Laurie officiating and Mr. Meyers
guiding the train to the joyious strains
of “Mendelssohn.” The bride was
conducted up the right-hand aisle to
the altar by thegroom, preceded by the
ushers, six in number ; Mr. Harry
Green, Dr, Moore of Shamokin, Mr.
John Fryberger and Mr. Lee of
Philipsburg, Mr. John Walker of
Bellefoute, and Mr. Harry Dinges of
Williamsport ; the bridesmaids : Miss
Mary Green and Miss Anna Dinges,
dressed in cream chine silk, with
pink ribbons and carrying bouquets of
pink roses, and sweet little Katherine
Curtin dressed in an empire frock of
white muslin, with pink ribbons and
bearing a quaint basket of pink roses.
After the fateful words were spoken,
this little maiden strewing her fragrant
flowers, led the party down the left-
hand aisle. The bride's dress was of
snowy white satin, of richest sheen,
cut in a short round waist with Robes-
pierre revers, beneath which were
flounces of lace from her great-grand.
mother’s wedding gown ; the square
train, falling in folds two yards long.
Fragrant orange blossoms were
clustered in her. hair and fastened the
tulle veil. A bunch of brides-roses
completed this costume, simple and
most becoming to the lovely girl
whose many friends in Bellefonte, only
wish that her path in youth—in age,
may be as flowery as was that of her
nuptial-day.
A wedding-breaktfast for the imme-
diate relatives followed,at the residence
of Mr. Green cor. of Linn and Alle-
gheny streets. Among the guests from
a distance were Mr. and Mrs. John
Snodgrass, Mr.and Mrs. Merrill Barber,
Mr. Robert and Miss Mary Snodgrass
and Dr. Dimm, of Mifflinburg ; Miss
Stella Scholey and Mrs. Philips of
Philadelphia Mrs. Mary Dinges, moth-
er of the groom and Miss Watt of New
York. The bride and groom will take
a wedding tour through the west,
including a visit to the World's Fair.
After which they will be “at home”
on west Third St., Williamsport.
Now AcaiN.—The “Governors” won
their eighteenth game in the River
League series by defeating Renovo for
the fifth time on Wednesday of this
week at the Park by the score of 5—3.
But five inoings were played. In the
beginning of the sixth inning when
Bellefonte was at the bat, Renovo ob.
jected to umpire Haley’s decision in
calling Reed sate at first and refused
to resume play. The umpire had no
other course to take then to award the
game to Bellefonte by a score of 9—0.
The sudden jtermination of the game
was al great disappointment to the
large pumber of spectators, as both
teams were putting up a beautiful game
of ball and they wanted to see more
of it.
Mr. Haley generally knows what he
is doing and his deciding Reed safe
was based on the fact that the first
baseman was not on the base when he
caught the ball, and witnesses say
Haley was right. While it is a fact
that we have capable umpires here at
home, yet if another league is formed
here next year, it will be in the inter-
est of harmony on all sides if two or
three competent and disinterested um-
pires are selected and paid a fair sum
to umpire all the games of the league.
Insthat way only may we hope to at-
tend games that will be free from the
contemptible kicking that has marred
80 many contests this year.
The score of Wednesday’s game by
innings is— .
Bellefonte 4 00 0 0 1—5.
Renovo 20001 x—3.
Hits, Bellefonte 9, Renovo 5, Errors,
Bellefonte 3, Renovo 3.
How Truk How VerY TRUE :—The
happiest man in the land to-day says an
exchange, is the successful farmer. He '
sits contentedly under his own vine :
and fig tree undisturbed by the madden- |
ing noise of the city. Banks fail, rails
roads go into the hands of receivers,
booming towns collapse and all business
stagnates, but the wise farmer can snap
his fingers at these things. He is the
monarch of all he surveys on his broad
acres, And the honesty of his boys and
the purty of his girls is guarded
against temptation, and in them he is
giving the country its manhood and
womanhood. The farmer isto be en-
vied, and if he is not contented with his
lot he is lacking in wisdom.
——¢Alvin Joslyn,” the rural come-
dy in which Charles L. Davis has
. made several fortunes, will be the at-
traction at the opera house on Tuesday
evening, September 26th. It needs no
commendation as our people saw it here
last spring.
——The land case of Long & Liggett
vs. the Lehigh Valley Railroad, to de-
termine the location of valuable lands
along the Beech Creek railroad, and
which occupied the entire time of the
Court last week, was given to the jury
at two o'clock yesterday, which up to
the time of going to press had faild to
agree u pon a verdict.
—— Hunting days are ushered in with
the fall and the delightful mountain
passes are filled from time to time with
the merry nimrods whogo out ‘dead-
loaded’ for game. Exercise they get,
appetite they satisfy with their precious
lunch of cold meat and bread. Feelings
of excitement are theirs during the pass-
ing hours, but alas, how often wo see
them coming in the side street with per-
haps, one squirrel or a pheasant and it is
often hard to tell who killed it even
then.
——Carpets at Schreyers.
——The strong base ball nine of
Corning, N. Y. which has defeated the
Demorests several times this season, will
play against the “Governors” at Hun-
ter’s Park to-day, Friday. A fine ex-
hibition of ball will undoubtedly be
given by both teams, and the game will
be won on its merits. This will be prob-
ably the last of the season in Bellefonte,
and so a thousand people, at least,
should turn out to-day and give the
boys, who have won for us glory, a
hearty cheer in their farewell game.
——Wall paper at Schreyers.
——Mr. Coba, who has come from
Long Branch, N. J., after an experience
of eight years in Y. M. C. A. work, to
assume charge of the Bellefonte asso-
ciation work should receive a cordial
welcome from all whoare interested in
the welfare of the young men. There
is a large field here for such work and
our good people should by every means
in their power encourage Mr. Coba to
be successful. "We have good Y. M. C.
A. rooms, a good library,’ good piano,
a good gymnasium and a good secretary.
Now let the people be good supporters
of the work and good will be done.

THE NEW RA1L-Roap.—Major H. E,
Ritchter, chief engineer of the Nittany
Valley railroad, was among the callers
at this office to-day. He reports that
eleven miles of track are already laid
on the new line, and that only a little
more than a mile of the grading is to be
completed. The erection of bridges is
now being pushed as rapidly as possible
and as they are all short structures, they
will soon be completed. The longest
bridge on the road is 120 feet in length.
Major Richter says regular trains will
be running over the road by December
1st. Yesterday the pay train was run
over the line from Bellefonte, to Hub-
larsburg. The arrival of the train at
Hublersburg was an important évent in
the history of the place, and marks the
beginning of an era of prosperity that
the place has not heretofore known.
Chief Engineer Richter talked about
the advantages Lock Haven would de-
rive if an electric railway line was in
operation to Mill Hall. He thinks
there is but little prospect of the Nittany
Valley road ever being extended to this
city owing to the fact that it is a feeder
for the Beech Creek railroad. He states
that a handsome depot will be erected
at Washington Furnace, and thinks
that place will eventually become one
of the most important points on the line.
