KiLLeEp BY THE TRAIN.—Old Samuel
Barger met a most violent and unexpected
death on Monday morning when he was
struck by the express west, just helow the
station at Milesburg, on the Bald Eagle
valley railroad.
The old man was walking along the
tracks and, being slightly deaf; did not
hear the approach of the train. The engi-
neer saw him and whistled and rang the
bell, expecting him to step off the track in-
stantly, but when the train had crept up
dangerously close and the walker showed
no signs of being aware of his danger the
engineer reversed his engine, slacking speed
so suddenly as to throw many of the pas-
sengers out of their seats. It was too late.
Even though the train had come almost to
a standstill the engine struck Mr. Barger
and knocked him prostrate several feet
from the track.
When picked up he was insensible. His
left eye was bruised and his left band cut,
otherwise he hadn’t a visible mark and no
bones seemed to be broken. = He was taken
to the Milesburg station, but gasped his
last before reaching that place. The body
was placed in charge of undertaker Frank
Wetzler and was sent back to the Barger
home at Curtin’s Works on the construe-
tion train that passed Mileshurg shortly af-
ter the accident.
The exact scene of the accident is about
one hundred and fifty feet east of ‘‘Gregg’s
crossing.”” Some of the people in that vi-
cinity at the time of its occurrence say that
the old man was walking on the switch,
but when the train approached he seemed
to be bewildered and walked directly in
front of it.
Funeral services were held at his late
home on Wednesday morning at 10.30 and
interment was made in the Eagle cemetery.
Deceased was a son of George and Nancy
Barger and was born on the Middle Ridge,
below Harrisburg, on September 17th, 1815.
The family emigrated to this county a
year or so later, the father entering the
employ of the Valentines as a forgeman at
their new furnace. Samuel was enrolled
four times during the Civil war, but never
being drafted he remained at home to care
for his mother while his four brothers
fought for their country. He was a bache-
lor and when visited by a WATCHMAN cor-
respondent on May 22nd, 1895, said that
he bad never smoked a cigar or played
cards in his life.
Samuel’s mother, Mrs. Nancy Barger,
died only a short time ago at the remark-
able age of 107 years. She was the oldest
woman in the county.
A PHILIPSBURG LAD KILLED WITH A
TARGET RIFLE.—Just how John Arm-
strong, the eleven year old son of Mrs.
James Armstrong, of Philipsburg, met his
death will probably never be known be-
cause there were no witnesses to it, but
Tuesday morning he was found dead in the
yard of Jas.-Down’s residence on Eleventh
street, in that place. Beside him was a
22 cal. target rifle and blood was trickling
from a bullet hole just below the lad’s
right eye.
He had been playing in the Downs yard
with Bernard Gill and Irvin Downs and
had his target rifle with him when he
joined the latter. After they had been
together for awhile the two boys set off to
‘play soldier’” by himself during their
absence. After they had heen gone a little
while they heard the gun’s report, but
thought nothing of it until they returned
and found their companion dead. The
ball entered his brain, causing instant
death.
Both the Downs and Gill boys assert
that they know nothing of bow the shoot-
ing could have occurred as neither one was
present. There were no other witnesses
and it is probable that the exact circum-
stances of Johnny Armstrong’s sad death
will remain a mystery.
PLAYED WITH OIL AND MATCHES. —
During the absence of his parents from
home last Friday morning a young son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Whiteman, of Centre
Hall, was amusing himself with oil and
matches in the kitchen of the house. The
can exploded, throwing the blazing oil in
all directions, and considerable Gamage was
done to the property.
The prompt arrival of the hose company
saved the building from total destruction
and the people of Centre Hall had their
first opportunity of seeing the newly or-
ganized fire company at work. It was a
very gratifying sight too, for there was
plenty of water fiom the borough plant,
with force enough to rip the shingles right
off the roof. The firemen did valiant
work and it was their promptness that
saved the loss of anything more than the
L that had been built to the house. “The |

blacksmith shop in Centre Hall caught fire

pany’s prompt appearance stopped the

CouxNciL HAs A Li6HT BUSINESS NIGHT
—All of the members of council but one
were present at the meeting Monday even-
ing, notwithstanding the excessive heat,
and the little business that came before
that body was transacted with dispatch.
Burgess Blanchard was present and re-
ported the collection of $389.24 in licenses
and fies during the Centennial. He stat-
ed that he had paid all the expenses of the
mounted police, special officers and other
necessaries and had a balance of $33.09 to
turn over.
Henry Tibhens was present and asked that
water be extended to properties on east
Howard street. And W. R. Shope and Al-
bert Schad made a similar request for their
properties on Half Moon hill. Both were
referred to the Water committee for inves-
tigation. ‘While these water questions
were up Geo. H. Bailey Jr., representing
the National Water Meter Co. displayed
samples of meters which he asserted would
insure a great saving to the town if placed
on every tap. The meters cost from $9 to
$15 each. - This question was also referred
to the Water committee for investigation
and report.
While it is impossible to forecast the ac-
tion the committee will take on the ques-
tion we hope that their better judgment
will prevail and the meters will be left for
communities whose standing boast is not
that they have a spring of water capable of
supplying the wants of forty thousand peo-
ple daily. What need have we for meter
economy in onr water department? It is
the cheapest thing we have and if we bave
not been misinformed is now unlawfully
netting more .in taxes than the amount
actually necessary to operate the depart-
ment. The idea of water meters in Belle-
fonte seems absurd. Of course we all reai-
ize that they would make taxes just in
proporfion to the amount of water consum-
ed, but what of that? No one finds fault
‘with the trivial water tax that is laid in
in Belletonte and it would certainly be far
more to the credit of the town to find oth-
er means of halting those who are ‘waste-
fal than to make the entire population
feel, every time they go to the spigot for
water, that every drop is being measured
and will cost just so much.
If there was a scarcity of water in Belle-
fonte, or any need for an economical use of
it, it would be a different proposition.
Thousands of gallons are flowing down
Spring creek every day. What difference
is it if the pumps have to be run twenty-
four hours out of every twenty four. The
taxes are away below the ‘kicking point,”’
there is plenty of water and that depart-
ment has always netted more than enough
funds to run it, so let us have all that can
2 used of it without hanging a meter on
as a constant reminder, especially to the
poor people, that if they use a drop or so
more than is actually necessary it will have
to be paid for.
The Street committee reported Yoh on
the abutments of the new bridge over
Logan's branch on Willowbank street un-
der way. A balance of $8,715.56 was
shown to be due the Treasurer on August
6th and then the chairman of the Fire and
Police committee addressed council in
praise of the efficient work of Burgess
Blanchard during the Centennial.
Bills to the amount of $1,081.06 were
approved and council adjourned.

GETTING IN SHAPE FoR THE FAIR.—
The Centre County Agricultural Exhibit-
ing Co. met on Saturday and took up the
plans for the fair that is to be held here in
Oct. While it was impossible to settle
finally on many questions, yet enough was
decided to give an idea of the magnitude on
which it will be run.
Three days of fine racing will be held.
The purses have been increased to $2,500
and in order to accommodate the great num-
ber of fast horses that will be attracted,
work will be begun at once on the erection
of twenty-five more stables.
The capacity of the grand stand is to be
doubled also. Another section, as large as
the one now completed, will be added to
the eastern end of the present one, thus
bringing the protected seats all along the
“stretch” of the track, placing them ex-
in, the centre of the foot ball
field to be laid out and in good posi-
tion for tie base ball * field. In addi-
tion to such exceptional advantages as
to the location the new stand will com-
pletely shut out the free view from the
mountain side.
