he did'nt stay long. >
~——The new bridge over Spring
creek, at the foot of Lamb street, has
been swung and is now in use. It is
not a very ornamental but a very dur-
able iron structure , high enough to be
free of the flood’s destructiveness.
-—Six carpenters employed on the

Miss Jane Garrett and her mother in
destitute circumstances in 8 house near
the glass works, Wednesday morning,
and took them both to the poor house.
Neither one wanted to go, but the offi-
cers were determined. It was reported
that the girl had taken carbolic acid”
with suicidal intent, but more direct in-
formation is to the effect that her rea-
son has become unbalanced.
—— The Bellefonte tennis association
is meeting with far more success than
its promotors anticipated. Already
there are between sixty and seventy
members to use the four courts that have
been graded on the north ward school

of young people down there enjoying
the sport. The officers are : James R.
i
Hughes, president; Maurice Jackson, '
secretary and treasurer; Fred Jackson,
Harry Keller, Scott Harris, Will Kelly
and James Harris executive committee.
The school grounds have become a reg-
ular athletic park and it is a very pleas-
ant place to spend part of the day.
Many Ser10US ACCIDENTS. — With-
in the past ten days many serious acci-
dents have been reported from various
parts of the county. Some of them
have been the result of 4th of July
celebration while others have occurred
through the various channels from
which accidents are ordinarily chron-
icled.
* * ¥
On Wednesday of last week Mr.
William Bloom, of Milesburg, was
driving home from the funeral of Mrs.
Green McGinley, at the-Advent grave
yard, with his wife and child. The
horse he was driving was a vicious
animal and began kicking without “any
apparent cause. It ran away and threw
the occupants from the buggy. The
child escaped unhurt, but Mrs. Bloom
was thrown out with such terrific force
that she sustained a fracture of the skull
and is still in a eritical condition
at her home in Milesburg. Mr. Bloom
became tangled up in some way or
other and one of the shafts, breaking, tore
an ug ly-gash in his side. Both were
unconscious for a long time.

The nation’s birth-day of ’95 was a
sorry one for Mrs. S. H. Williams, of
this place. A terribly lacerated hand
is the mark that will keep the day fresh
in her mind as long as she lives.
While putting off fire-works at the
University Inn, at State College, on the
evening of the 4th, she met with a most
serious accident; one that will mark
her for life, no doubt. She was light-
ing one of the large crackers, called
“mules,” when it exploded before she
could throw it away. The concussion
tore her left hagd in a most frightful
manner. The bone of the thumb was
laid bare its entire length, the nails
were blown clear off the thumb and
first and second fingers, while the flesh on
every finger but the small one, was torn
to shreads. The whole heart of the
band was furrowed out as if it had been
done with a knife, in fact making a far
more painful injury than if the hand
had been torn clear off. As it was Dr.
Glenn was able to sew the wounds up
in a way that will leave very little dis-
figurement and the unfortunate woman
is getting along as nicely as could be
expected. :
¥* > *
Ross Parker, the popular passenger
conductor on the Bellefonte Central R.
R., is minus part of a little finger and
the accident whereby he lost the end of
that member might have resulted fatal-
ly too. It happened onthe day before
the Fourth of July while his train was
at State College killing the rioon hour.
Ross was ou top of a box car that was
attached to the engine. A sudden jerk
caused the pin that holds the Janney
coupling to break and fly up in the air.
It was a heavy piece of iron, weighing
nine or ten pounds, and when it fell it
struck Mr. Parker’s hand knocking the
little finger off at the first joint and
smashing the third also. Dr. Glenn
amputated the finger at the first joint
and the injured man is walking around,
but it will be some time before he goes
on duty again. Had the iron struck
him on the bead it would bave killed
him.

While driving a mowing machine
near his home at Millheim, on Monday,
Hon. Wm. K. Alexander drove against
a stump. The jar threw him out of the
seat and he fell on a pile of stones se-
verely injuring his side. He was laid up
for a dav, but is able to be about again.
* *
*
A similar accident was that that
might have snuffed out the light of our
townsman M. W. Cowdrick. One day
last week he was mowing grass on a
field near town when the seat on which
he was sitting gave way. Mr. Cowdrick
fell and struck a protruding nut that
penetrated his hip. near the end of his
spinal column. The wound was an ex-
crutiatingly paintul one and bled pro-
fusely. The injured man was able to
tie the one horse and rode the other
home, where he appeared in an almost
fainting condition. A physician dressed
the wound and heis able to be around
now. Had the team frightened and’
run away when the seat broke Mr.
Cowdrick would certainly have been
killed.

While riding his bicycle up Brush
valley to Millheim, last Saturday,
Calvin Moyer, of Penn Hall, struck a
rut just near the toll-gate and was
thrown head long, over a rocky em-
bankment, into the creek. Fortunately
the water was not deep and he had little
trouble in getting out.
* » *
John Carson, of Millheim, was knock-
ed down by a mine car at Nigh bank
below town, on Tuesday of last week,
and had his arm broken. A horse ran
away with the car causing the accident.
The fracture was so bad that the man
could not ba taken home until Wednes-
day.
* *
Chas Dillet, of Spring Mille. had his
leg broken at Poe Mills last Saturday.
He was dragging out stringers when
the hind end of one hit his leg between
the ankle and keen and broke it right
off.
A broken leg is some what worse than
a pain in the stomach and while Harry |!
Barnes, a youth of this place, would
have been perfectly willing to run the
risk of-the latter he had little idea he
would suffer the former when he climb-
ed an apple tree at the rear of John Bul-
lock’s home, on Allegheny street, about
noon yesterday. He fell from the tree
and broke his right leg at the ankle.
"Sec. Cota, of the Y. M. C. A. carried
him home where the break was set by
Dr. Harris.
* *
Herbert Shzfter, of east Curtin street,
is hobbling around on crutches because
some funny fellow threw a big cannon
cracker at him on the Fourth. Of
course it was only meant to scare him,
but his foot and leg were badly torn by
the concussion and it will be some time
before he gets over it.

the howe of Mrs. D. H. Hastings, in

her death. Mrs. Gilkeson was a most
charming and lovable woman whose
husband and daughters will receive the
sincere sympathy of all those who have
known her,

conceived the idea that he needed a lit-

one night. So entering his room they
began explaining their mission by tell-

thing. The new student didn’t pay

dirty lamp globe and had found its

This little episode revealed the fel-

will more than likely be left severely

Mr. FosTER'S WEATHER IDEAS. —
“My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent from
July 6th to July 10th and 12th to 16th.
The next weather disturbance will reach
the Pacific coast about July 17, cross
the west of Rockies country by close of
10th, the great central valleys 19th to
21st and eastern States 22d..--General
rains will not ogeur with this disturb.
ance and heavy rains will fall only in
a few places of small extent. The rain
period of the month will have passed
before the dates of this storm wave and
it will comein the drought period of
the month. Ido not mean to say that
a general drought will occur, only that
the last half of July, for the United
States, will produce less rain than the
first half of the month. The drought
sections for-July were noted in my last
bulletin, which I regard as the most
important weather bulletin I have is-
sued. This storm wave will also bring
some of the hottest days of the month,
very hot in the Atlantic States. The
warm wave will cross the west of Rock-
ies country about 17th, great central
valleys 19th and eastern States 21st.
Cool wave will cross the west of Rockies
country about 20th, great central val-
leys 22d and eastern States 24th.’
Diep 1x THE WEsT.—Many Centre
county friends will be sorry to learn of
the death of Mrs. Benjamin Smeltzer,
which occurred at her home at Dakota,
Ill, on Tuesday morning, after three
week's suffering from a paralytic stroke.
The lady had been in failing health for
nearly three years and came east about
two years ago to visit ffiends. While
here she was greatly recuperated and
enjoyed herself at the home of ex-county
: Treasurer Gramley and with friends in
Penns valley.
Deceased leaves u husband to mourn
her death. With him she moved from
this county about twenty years ago.
She was a sister of Joseph and Albert
Hoy, of State College ; of John Hoy,
of Hublersburg and of Mrs. Louisa
Stover, of Madisonburg. She was a
zealous member of the Reformed church
and her home was always a hospitable
stopping place for Centre county folks
traveling in the West.
A Trio or OLD WoMEN.—The low-
er end of Nittany valley is the home of
three remarkable old ladies. They are
all active though past the eightieth
mile stone. They are Mrs. Hunt, of the
vicinity of Lamar, who has attained her
82nd year; “Grandmother” McKibben,
aged 83, of Abdera, who has just recov -
ered from a severe illness and: “Aunt”
Margaret Brown, of Salona, whose 93rd
birthday will be celebrated some time
this month. :
