ters, at Garman’s, last night was really
charming.
— Lewis Wetzel has moved his bicycle

John Noll, of Bishop street, is walk-

——Weaver & Boob, Aaronsburg peach

——The barking of pestiferous dogs, on
east Lamb street, is not to be compared
with the puffing of Pennsylvania engines,
on railroad street, as a nuisance.
——Wm. Flack, of Bellefonte, and
Samuel H. Griffith of Axemann, are among
the recent additions to the roll of pension-
ers of Centre county.
——The story that William Flack has
sold his barber shop to go to Philadelphia
is untrue. The truth is that Billy would
only like to do it.
While at the Granger’s picnic, on
Wednesday, Henry Fisher, of Karthause,
was suddenly prostrated with cholera
morbus. Dr. Alexander was called to at-
tend him.
———The fall session of The Pennsylva-
nia State College opened, on Wednesday,
and more students had entered up ’til
noon yesterdav than they had last year.
The number was 275.
Dolly Spencer, M. B. Garman’s fast
mare, won two races at the Reading meet
last week. On Thursday she won in 2:20}
and on Friday took another in 2:18]. Jim
Chambers is driving her.
—-%Dr.”” Fredericks was wooed to sleep
by a hurdy-gurdy, on west High street,

put a turkey feather in his hat and used
him for a wooden indian until he woke up.
——In February, 1898, the Pennsyl-
‘vania photographer’s association will hold
their annual convention in this place. The
armory of Co. B, has already been secured
in which to exhibit the displays of the
various attendants.
Don’t forget to attend the sale of
the personal property of Mrs. Adolph
Loeb to-morvow afternoon at 1 o’clock. It
will take place in the store room formerly
occupied by Achenbach, on the Diamond,
and all kinds of household effects will be
sold cheap.
——The rumor that Joseph Ceader has
purchased the Achenbach bakery, in this
place, and turned it over to Andrew Knise-
ly to manage is reported to be unfounded.
Mr. Knisely insists that it is wholly his
own venture and that no one, other than
himself, is interested in it.
——After a week most delightfully
spent at the training camp at Hecla park,
The Pennsylvania State College foot ball
players went to college, on Tuesday morn-
ing, to begin their regular scholastic duties

—Tyrone is moving to secure a glass
works. George W. McGraw, of Pittsburg,
has offered to operate a plant there on the
co-operative plan, if the citizens of the
town donate the land and erect the build-
ings. This they purpose doing very rapidly
and the ground has already heen donated
and surveyed. while most of the money
has been subscribed for the buildings.
——The engine that hauls the morning
passenger train over the Lewisburg road,
every morning from Bellefonte, was off the
track on Monday morning and the train
did not get out of here until nearly eight

round house and the Lewisburg freight
engine was detained to help the passenger
engine onto the track again.
——A post office inspector recently fool-
ed Philipsburgers into believing that their
side walks are too bad to have free mail
delivery over there. This is something
like their being deludeu into thinking
they are going to get the county institute.
Sister Williams having concluded that ‘all
things come to them that wait”’ we expect
to see her perched high and dry on a pine
stump, out along cold stream sometime
next January waiting for Sup’t Gramley
and his teachers. But, dear editress, they
will be like the letter that never came.
——Charley Houck, son of the Rev.
Wm. Houck who so acceptably filled the
pulpit of the M. E. church in this place
from 1891 to 1895, was one of the deputies
of sheriff Martin, of Luzerne county, and
was present when the brutal and coward-
ly shooting of the miners occurred at Lat-
timer, on last Friday afternoon. War-
rants have been issued for the entire crowd
and Charley will have to stand trial with
the rest of them. While he has many
friends hereabouts, there is none so heart-
less as to sympathize with the bloody work
of the slayers of those poor, ignorant and
unarmed miners, and unless he can show
himself guiltless, the general verdict of
his Bellefonte friend is that he should be
punished to the full extent of the law.
Fine Weather and a Great Picnic Exhi-
bition at Grange Park.
At Last the Grangers of Centre County Have Got-
ten Back into the Providential Favor.—Fine
Weather for the First Time in Five VYears.—A
Splendid Exhibit and Fair Crowds.
The 24th annual picnic and exhibition of
the Patrons of Husbandry of Centre coun-
ty is now on at Grange park, Centre Hall,
and will continue ’til to-morrow, when the
farmers and their friends will break camp
and go home to recount the good times
they have had this week and plan for bet-
ter ones next year.
Everything has been better than ever
except the attendance and as the crowds
are quite large that doesn’t disturb those
who go there for a good time. The weath-
er has been exceptional. For the past
five years there has been rain and an un-
pleasant chilliness to mar the comfort of
the campers, but this week it has been
dry and warm. A little dusty, ’tis true,
but if youdon’t have mud you must have
dust.
A number of improvements have been
added to the grounds this year ; seemingly
small ones, yet contributing in many ways
to the comfort of the crowds. Every year,
just as it can be affored, some addition is
made that is designed to make a perfect
camp and exhibition ground some day.
The grangers started without anything and
the fact that they have as admirable a place
as they have is evidence of the careful and
economical management that has guided
this enterprise.

CHURCH SERVICES ON SUNDAY.
It was as religious as a camp meeting all
day Sunday. At 10:30 Sunday morning
Rev. Faus, of the M. E. church, preached in
the Auditorium and in the evening at 6
o’clock the Christian Endeavorers held an
evangelical meeting. At 7:30 Rev. W. W.
Rhodes preached and the sacredness of Sun-
day had been carefully guarded.
MONDAY’S PROCEEDINGS.
Most of Monday was given up to fixing
up. Tenters, venders and amusement peo-
ple were busy, alike, getting ready for the
crowds that came after them.
In the evening there was a meeting in
the auditorium. Geo. Dale, master of the
county grange, presided and Mr. Philip
Dale conducted the singing. Isaac Frain,
of Abdera, Leonard Rhone of Centre Hall,
Col. James I. Weaver, of Milesburg anc
Miss Emma Brewer were the speakers.
All being enthusiastic grangers, there was
a continued round of felicitations over the
auspicious beginning. Monday’s attend-
ance amounted to about 700.
TUESDAY AND ITS PROGRAM.
Tuesday was another beautiful day at
the park. Everything was in order when
morning dawned and people were ready
for picknicking. At the various meetings
in the auditorium during the day Hon. J.
H. Brigham, of California ; Hon, J. T. Ail-
man, secretary of the state grange ; Mrs.
Helen Johnston, Ceres of the state grange ;
Hon. W. H. Hill, lecturer of state grange
and county Sup’t. Gramley gave interest-
ing talks.
The evening program brought an original
and exceedingly cute ‘‘Tom Thumb Wed-
ding’’ under the direction of the ladies aid
society of the Reformed church, foremost
in its planning being Mesdames Boozer,
Mingle, Meyer, Hosterman, Isenberg,
Yearick and the Misses Aggie Murray,
Mary Kreamer, Tace Kreamer, Emma and
Grace Alexander, Jennie Thomas, Mary
Keller and Kate Fleisher. The wedding
was carried out by the little folks with
every detnil as carefully looked after as if
it had been real. Many guests arrived
and were received and then John S. Rowe's
symphony orchestra, comprising 1st vio-
lins, Miss Mamie Kreamer, Miss Ida
Roades, Mr.
Bierly ; 2nd violins, Dr. W. A. Jacobs,
Rev. W. W. Rhoades, Hoffer Dale, J. W.
Henry ; violin cello, William Boozer ;
bass, H. W. Kreamer ; cornet, W. D.
Pletcher ; trombone Mr. Kessinger and
pianist, Miss Sadie Kreamer, struck
up the wedding march and the
bridal party entered. First came their
grand parents, then Esther Foreman and
Raymond Erdman, maiden aunt and the
hride’s little brother ; Katie Keller and
Ralph Dinges ; the minister, master John
Erdman. Next came the ushers and
groomsmen, Ross Bush and Guy Foreman,
Charles Lee, Clair Schreffler, Roy Lee and
Rufus Rearick. Next came the groom and
the hest man, Harvey Nearhood and Ralph
Lee. Brides maids, Lena Emerick, Grace
Crawford, Bertha Erdman, Anna Condo,
Helen Sando and Bertha Strohmyer. The
maid of honor was Miss Grace Boob. The

little flower girls’ were Emma Rowe,
Blanch Rowe, Rhea Keller, Isabel Rowe,
Jennie Kerstetter and Mary Rearick. The
bride and her father came next, she was
three feet tall and about eight years old.
The bride’s name was Minnie McCormick
and her father was Rufus Lee.
The attendance on Tuesday was about
1,000.
WEDNESDAY SAW THE FIRST CROWD.
There were easily four thousand people
on the grounds on Wednesday. The
weather was fine, there were amusements
galore, the dust was thick and the pink
lemonade man in his glory. During the
day former Senator Brown, of York ; Dr.
J. T. Rothrock, state forestry commis-
sioner ; Dr. Leonard Pearson, state veteri-
narian ; and Dr. Weaver, state ornitholo-
gist, were the entertainers in the audi-
torium. While they told many facts of
interest to the elderly, the young folks on
the ground paraded on the ‘‘Mid-way,’’ rode
the merry go-round, fished for painted
suckers and wound up at Bob Hunting’s
circus.
It was the best day they have had at the
picnic for years and would have been a
leader had yesterday not broken its record.
YESTERDAY THE BIG DAY.
Everyone of the eight thousand and more
people who were at the park yesterday had
a good time. The weather was all that
could have been desired and everyone had
on a holiday humor. Good natured badi-
nage was exchanged between fakir and
faked ; the wheezy old organ tunes of the
carousal kept the lower end of the ‘‘Mid-
way’’ noisy ; the flaming posters of the
museum freaks held up many a boy and
girl in wide-mouthed amazement and the
peanut man found buyers on all sides.
Though picnics have been greatly over-
done in this county for several years the
crowds seemed still to want one more big
one hefore the season closed and they had
it. Perspiration and dust were on the free
list and every one got plenty of both.
Thursday’s speakers were Hon. David
Lubin, of California. He spoke on
“Tariff as it Affects the Farmer.”” Hon.
Frank Moore, of Bradford ; Miss Lewis, of
Montour county, and W. H. Benninger, of
Northampton county. The talks were all
instructive and highly enjoyed by large
audiences. .
IN GENERAL.
Leonard Rhone is at headquarters man-
aging things there. Any information re-
garding the picnic that he can give is
cheerfully done and he has turned his head-
quarters into a kind of general reception
place where all are welcome Then Mr
George Boal sits about to give instructions
about fishing in the various ponds.
The picnic is much more of a success
than it has been in years. The stock ex-
hibit is fully twice as large as it has ever
been and Mr. George Gingerich, who is in
charge, is giving perfect satisfaction byghis
well organized management.
The poultry exhibit is a new feature
that occupies a special building, equipped
with neat coops, all of which are filled.
The implement end of the show is not
as large as it has been in past years, how-
ever, yet the exhibits cover most every
class of farm machinery. Mr. George
Dale has charge of this department and
his courteous manner of dealing with those
who have business with him has done
much to promote a feeling of good fellow-
ship among all.
Mr. J. S. Dauberman has charge of the
ground to every part of which his careful
scrutiny has reached out and done some-
thing for improvement. Col. Amos Mullen
and officers Charles, Smeltzer and Garis
are doing police duty on the grounds and
the good order that prevails shows that
their duty is not neglected.
The Pleasant Gap band 22 pieces, is on
the ground and music can he had without
even the asking. The organization has but
recently been equipped with new instru-
ments that add very materially to the qual-
ity of the music it makes.
The exhibit of The Pennsylvania State
College is unusually complete this year and
occupies a building of its own. It in-
cludes specimens of grain, fruit, products
of the mechanical arts departinents, the
botonical labratories and the creamery.

This exhibit attracted considerable attention
and Mr. Smith took a justifiable pride in
showing off the good points of his fine stock.
He is one of the wide awake young farmers
of Pennsvalley who knows that there is
money in more things than dollar wheat.
The Shook Bros, of the ‘‘Woodlawn’’
farm, Spring Mills, had a fine exhibit of
Guernseys, consisting of a 1 yr. bull, a 3 yr.

black Percheron stud, ‘‘Kite’’ a pretty 2 yr.

A FINE POULTRY EXHIBIT.
The poultry exhibit is a new feature at
the park and occupies a splendidly ap-
pointed building by itself. That the place
is always crowded evidences the fact that
the people are fond of the pretty fowls that
are on exhibition.
The Shook Bros., of Spring Mills, carried
off the honors in this department with their
prize winners just from the State fair, at
Johnstown, last week, where they captured
14 firsts, 7 seconds and two sweepstake prizes.
They exhibited coops of Golden Seabright
bantams, light Brahmas, barred Plymouth
Rocks, buff Leghorns, a very rare chicken
indeed, White Minorcas, brown Leghorns,
white Leghorns, silver laced Wyandottes, sil-
ver laced Hamburgs and 4 white Chinese
ducks.

light Brahmas and some interesting crosses
of the Brahmas with white Leghorns.

ly taken up chicken raising, but his fine ex-
hibit of single and rose comb brown ILeg-
horns, B. R. R. Bantams, light Brahmas,
barred Plymouth Rocks, and rose comb
black Minorcas show that he will more than
likely carry oft some of the prizes that are
offered.
THE IMPLEMENT AND
EXHIBITS.
This department is not as largely repre-
sented as it was last year. Nevertheless
the exhibitors who are on the ground are
showing a large and interesting variety of
things to look at and the continual whirr
of wheels and toot of whistles makes the
visitor feel as though he were in the midst
of some great manufactory.
Of course McCalmont & Co., of Bellefonte,
are on hand with a great line of implements
and their agents are kept busy answering
questions and explaining the working of the
latest improved farm machinery they are

fair and race meet at Hughesville, on Sept.

PRIZES AT THE STATE FAIR. — The
Shook Bros., raisers of fancy poultry, at
Spring Mills, had quite an exhibit at the
State fair, at Johnstown, last week, and
we are pleased to learn that the exhibit
was awarded twenty-two prizes.
Some of their finest fowls are to be seen
at the granger’s picnic this week.
Report says that Hayes Schenck has
been named by Congressman Arnold to
succeed Howard Moore, as postmaster at
Howard. This is a blow, below the belt, to
the Lucas’ who were counting certain on
securing this political plum, and will prove
a bitter pill to the old soldiers who were
petitioning for the appointment of their
comrade, Henry C. Holter.

CoL. WILBUR REEDER DEPUTY ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL.—Col. Wilbur F. Reeder,
assistant adjutant general of Pennsylva-
nia, was tendered and has accepted the office
of deputy attorney general of this Common-
wealth. The position has just been vacat-
ed by Republican state chairman John P.
Elkin, the particulars being published
among the telegraphic news of this issue.
Col. Reeder is Governor Hastings’ law
partner and his appointment is a compli-
ment worthily, though lately. bestowed.
When the Governor was inducted into
office it was thought that he would honor
Col. Reeder at once, in view of their pleas-
ant personal relations and the valuable self-
sacrificing service rendered inthe guber-
natorial campaign, but no place was left
for him until the new office of assistant
adjutant general was created and given to
him, with no emoluments and nothing but
gilt lace and the rank of a Lieut. Col.
Bellefonte is gratified that another of
her residents has found prominence in
state affairs and trusts that Col. Reeder
will lay down his official duties at the end
of his term with his character as clean and
unsullied as it was, on Tuesday, when he
assumed the new honor.

—Mr.and Mrs. Joseph Powers and their little
girl left Bellefonte, on Monday morning, for Phil-

rents in this place Mrs. Henry Redding, nee Kate
Curry, of Logan street, returned to her home in
Spangler yesterday afternoon. Mr. Redding

so nicely that they haven't time nor inclination
to bother about it.

though by no means sore aspirant for the post-
office up there, was in town, on Monday, looking
smiling and pleasant as if nothing had happened
and the other fellow didn't have the persimmon.
Joe is a stiff Republican, but he is a good fellow
as well and the good people of Unionville know
his sterling gualities else they wouldn't have made
him auditor of the borough ever since he has been |
old enough to do the work.
—Col. James P. Coburn, president of the First
national bank, as ardent in the Republican faith
as is possible for anyone to be, the orator of many
a party convention and a gentleman, withal, may
now be truly considered a resident of Bellefonte.
On Monday Mrs. Coburn arrived from Aaronsburg
and if the Colonel can persuade her that our town
is even half as hospitable as the Haines township
metropolis they will stay here permanently. The |
Coburn home in Aaronsburg is a beautiful place
i and it is but natural that both the Colonel and
Mrs. Coburn are loath to give it up.
—Two old Bellefonte boys arrived home yes-
terday afternoon. John Noll, a son of Mr. Eman-
uel Noll, and Eversley Thomas, a nephew. It
will be remembered that Ev’ left the nail works
here seven years ago to go to Peoria, Ill, where
he has worked ever since without missing a
single pay day. He is in the employ of the Peoria
Transfer and Storage Co., and likes Illinoise’s
second largest city so well that two years ago he
got John Noll a nice position in a bicycle works
there and now both boys are home for a week.
They looked tickled all right when they got back
to old Bellefonte.
Dr. FurBay HAS RESIGNED. — The
trouble in the Oxford Presbyterian church,
Philadelphia. has probably had its ending
in the resignation of the pastor, Rev. Dr.
Harvey Graeme Furbay, the young divine
whose meteoric shoot in the ecclesiastical
firmament so tickled his Tyrone admirers
some time ago. Dr. Furbay attracted so
much attention in Tyrone that the Phil-
adelphia Presbyterians called him to take
the place they had squeezed the distin-
guished Dr. I. M. Colfelt out of. The
new broom swept amazing clean for a short
time, then the petty nagging began and he
was censured for riding a bicycle, censured
for parting his hair in the middle and
censured for smoking cigarettes. This
gave him an unpleasant notoriety, but it
was nothing in comparison to the distinc-
tion he attained last summer when he
choked one of the members of his con-
gregation at Old Orchard, Me. The offen-
sive member had become unbearable and
there was nothing left for Mr. Furbay to
do but choke him and he did it.
Now he has been asked to resign and
has done that too. His resignation was
secured by two of the trustees of the
church, at Lawrence, Mass., on Saturday,
and was read before the church last Sun-
day. Dr. Furbay is a brilliant young
minister and it is unfortunate that his
later day christianity does not conform
with the stiff necked bigots who do more
to harm the christian cause than good.

——Rev. Dr. David H. Barron has enter-
ed upon the thirty-seventh year of his pas-
torate of the Hollidaysburg Presbyterian
church, loved and venerated by his entire
congregation. The Presbyterian Banner,
one of the church organs, contained an ex-
cellent picture of him last week and a well
written sketch.

WOODRING CONFESSED. — In our last
edition we published a story of Allison
Woodring’s arrest for having stolen a
bicycle from H. J. Goss, of Philipshurg,
on Tuesday, the 7th, and told of his ex-
citing capture by the officers in this place.
At that time the WATCHMAN intimated
that Woodring was likely the man who
was wanted for stealing three cows from
Jacob Woodring, near Port Matilda, and
selling them to Gus McClain, of Bald
Eagle, for $32.
Woodring has as much as admitted his
guilt of stealing the cows and McClain
came down and identified him as the
seller. The young rascal then implicated
constable John River, of Sandy Ridge, and
Harry Daughenbaugh, of Port Matilda.
Both were arrested and brought here, but
River was dismissed without a hearing on
Monday morning and the other man had a
hearing, on Wednesday, and was dis-
charged. Woodring will be held for the
November court. He is a bad character.
