It was also decided to have the concrete street paving in the Diamond repaired by Col. Geo. Bayard. HUNT UP THE INSTRUMENTS, GENTLE- MEN.—Several years ago instruments of very good make were purchased by popu- lar subscription for a band that was organ- ized in Bellefonte, largely through the in- strumentality of AlS. Garman. People had been called upon so often in the past for such contributions that they were loath to give more unless assured that some care would be taken to preserve the instruments after the proposed band had gone into dis- solution. This latter phase of the case was looked upon as a matter of conrse, be- cause not since the days of the famous old band in which Billy Refile and those other old timers tooted has the town had a mus- ical organization that would stick together long enough to amount to anything. The last Bellefonte band led a somewhat fitful life and finally went to pieces. The instruments were gathered up, with only a few missing, and placed in the keeping of a geotleman selected for that purp ose. Later Mr. Johnny Fagan imagined that Orpheus had called him to rival Sousa and he procured the instruments for a band made up mostly of men from Spring town- ship. We have been informed that John- ny’s band has deteriorated very much since that eminent director’s departure. In fact they can’t play ‘‘ Columbia the Gem of the Ocean,’ with anything like their old time vigor aud, in consequence, they are ahout to give up the ghost. In all probability the band is disbanded by this time, unless the neighbors on Bea- ver street and Fifth Ave. have persuaded them to continue. If it is gone it is the duty of the gentlemen who were appointed as trustees, Messrs. J. C. Meyer, Robert F. Hunter and to procure the instruments at once; before they have gotten scattered about or abused aud the WATCHMAN, on behalf of-the people of Bellefonte, calls up- on the gentlemen to attend to their daty. We have a suggestion, also, that we think will meet with the approval of all and it is this : When the instruments are gathered up it would bea graceful and beneficial act to place them in the custody of Mr. Philip Garbrick, manager of the Coleville band, for safe keeping. Extend- ing to that band the privilege of using the instruments, both for practice and band engagements, until such a time as the committee desires to call them in. The entire responsibility of Mr. Garbrick, coupled with the pride every Bellefonter takes in the splendid organization of our little suburb, seems to us would warrant such an act. The Coleville boys are in need of more instruments and here is a,way to help them out that ought to meet with general approval. emma THE CAMPING CLUBS.—From the num- ber of camping outfits that were taken out of the town this week that form of recrea- tion is more popular than ever. Bass are very plenty in the Bald Eagle creek, down near Howard, and consequently most of the camps are located in that vicinity. Dr. and Mrs. Clamp with Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sheffer and their two guests, Misses Mabel Musser and Mame Spencer, of Scran- ton, are camping down near Williamsport with a party of friends. They went Tues- day morning and expect to be away a week or ten days. “The Sunbeans’’ are going to pitch their tents this morning in Butler’s woods near Howard for a ten day’s camp. The party will consist of Misses May Taylor, Katha- rine Lieb, Rose and Mame Fox, Bessie Musser, Blanche Underwood, and Messrs. Russel Blair, Sam Taylor, Charley Mensch, and John McMurray and Sam Lafferty, of Altoona. Russell Blair has been delegated captain and entertainer and Manie Green is to do the cooking. George H. Miller, Calvin Ray, Will Rees and Frederick Hoffman are another party of congenial spirits who are en- camped down at Howard. The rain on Tuesday did not deter them from starting that morning and they are so comfortably ensconced that they will not be home until the latter part of next week. The glass works delegation bave been in camp below Howard all week and if the tales that have been told us are true théy | have caught lots of fish and had a splendid time. pA The West Ward fishing club pitched their tents near Caurtin’s on Tuesday for the week anticipating some fine sport and plenty of fish and turtles. The members who are camping this season are Harry Smith, Harold Kirk, Frank Dawson and Clarence Rine. mee Gl te A HoME DESTROYED AT LINDEN HALL. —The larg: brick home on the old James Rose farm above Linden Hall was totally destroyed by fire shortly hefore noon on Tuesday. The property was owned by Samuel Ripka and was one of the most comfortable homes in that community. The fire was discovered by Mrs. Ripka, who was there alone, about 10 o’clock in the morning and though utterly helpless to stop the flames she was able to save a little of the furniture. It is supposed to have caught from a spark igniting the wood-house from which the flames spread to the large building. Mr. Ripka bad $1,000 insurance in the Lykens Valley Co. on the building and $300 on the furniture. : emer pp ret ——The Lutherans of Penns and Brush valleys will hold a picnic in the Taylor grove, south of Centre Hall, on Saturday, Aug. 10th.

Mayor Elliot had many friends in Bellefonte who will be grieved to learn of his death. eee Al meee ——Dr. C. W. Heisler, president of Sus- quehanna University at Selinsgrove, has accepted a call to the pastorate of a Luth- eran church at Albany, N. Y.

Huey’s horse, ‘‘Carl Brown,” went yesterday in a big private race at Belmont track, Philadelphia, to decide the much mooted question as to the fastest Philadelphia horse. It will be remem- bered that ‘Carl Brown’’ came third in the free-for-all at the fair here last fall. ——A large stone on the mountain above the Salona quarries of the Bellefonte Lime Co. was dislodged by a blast, on Friday afternoon, and rolled down the mountain side with terrific velocity. It would have struck James Caldwell, a workman in the quarries, bad his fellow workmen not warned him in time to jump to a place of safety. a —Elijah C. Cleaver, a highly respected Columbia county farmer, started to market with a load of hay on Monday morning. After getting up all the hills he endeav- ored to climb onto the load to ride. In doing so he stood on one of the horses, but it kicked, throwing him to the ground and the wagon passed over his abdomen. He was found by the roadside two hours later. Mr. Cleaver died from his injuries that day. He was the father of Rev. Nelson E; Cleaver, of the Methodist ministry, who was formerly an instructor at State College: ——— A —— — Professor Surface, head of the de- partment of biology at The Pennsylvania State College, is conducting some exam- inations as to life in the Bald Eagle creek. They are being made for the state fish commission and have resulted in quite in- teresting results. For example, in Bald Eagle creek he has found two kinds of cat- fishes, the barred transparent minnow, and several kinds of fishes not found in other streams, besides difference in other kinds of life, including vegetation. Not only are there many differences in kinds, but also much difference in abundance. The professor attributes the greater variety and amount of life there to the fact that the water of that stream is from twenty de- grees warmer in summer and from eight to ten degrees colder in winter than is the water in most of the other streams. This, in turn, is because the latter are nearly all spring streams and thus maintain an equable temperature, while Bald Eagle creek, especially above Milesburg, is a superficial drainage stream and its temper- ature varies with that of its surround- ings. — They are telling a great story on W. R. Jenkins, Bellefonte’s inventor and man- ufacturer down at Howard. Having lately developed a great fondness for fishing they say his daily trips to the big iron works that bear his name down there are merely excuses for him to pull a rod and line out from under an old shed and hie himself off to a favorite stump along the banks of the Bald Eagle, where he fishes faithfully un- til it is time to come home again. Just where Mr. Jenkins caught Walton fever no one seems to know, but from observations taken in Bellefonte he must catch bass with the same alacrity that he gets up patents. On Saturday he came up with a great string of bassand an eel, which he di- vided between John P. Harris and Thomas Seixas—a sare sign that he is a fisherman. Whenever they get to giving them away, you can mark it down that they are old hands at the business. - But on Tuesday a new phase of the sport presented itself and for awhile the gentleman who makes chains, rakes, and any other old thing iron is used for, had his hands so full that in- quiries were made at once as to the amount of Syracuse tea that had been sold in How- ard that morning. Half the men at the works were soon summoned to the banks to help the boss land whatever it was that was bearing down so stubbornly on his line. They tugged and pulled, and pulled together until, finally, au eel the like of which had never been seen about Howard came wriggling out. Ib was 36 inches long and nearly as thick as the smoke stack on the works, but the men say the size of the ree Ap eee eel wasn’t a circnmstance to the optics of the boss when Le shouted for help. A YOUTHFUL BURGLAR.—Scarcely more than 12 years old Harry Miller, a son of Frank Miller, colored, of this place, bas developed tendencies that unless effectual” ly stopped at once will cause him to spend most of his life behind the bars of a prison. On Monday night the youngster effected an entrance tothe Irwin Stationery Co's. store, in the Reynolds bank building, through a back window that had been left unlocked. He succeeded in carrying off the cash box containing about $25, but left $6 in change in the money drawer. Mr. Irwin, the proprietor, discovered his loss immediately on going to the store in the morning and the police were notified. They went to work on the case at once; soon finding a clue that led to the arrest of the youthful burglar that evening. As soon as the stores were open Tuesday morning Miller started to spending money. At Yeager & Davis’ he bought a pair of patent leather shoes and at Montgomery's a new suit.. He paid for the articles in small change and $2 bills, jost as Mr. Irvin bad described his money, so that it was easy to trace. Later he bought a ticket for Williamsport and started away, but evidently only went as far as Lock Haven, for he returned at 4:44 and was arrested. He had $3 in small coin with him and finally admitted having committed the theft, but won’t say what he did with the balance of the money. rr Simons Miss Lizzie SUMMERVILLE—The pass- ing away of Miss Elizaheth Summerville at the home of her nephew, James Summer- ville, at Winburn, Clearfield county, Wed- nesday morning at eight o'clock, was fraught with sorrow to a wide circle of rela- tives, to whom she had devoted ber thought and energy for years and who in return al- moss revered her. She was seventy years of ageand until her health began to fail about Christmas time had lived a most active life.. A week ago she became very much worse and her death was caused by heart trouble, brought on by a general de- cline. ; : Miss Summerville was a native of Glasgow, Scotland, but she came to Centre county more than thirty years ago and hecame a member of her nephew’s family at whose home she died. She was a woman of ex- cellent judgment, kind, considerate and untiring in industry and the remembrance of her genial presence and helpful life will linger long after the records of more am- bitious and conspicuous people have faded from memory. She is survived by her sister, Mrs. Hus- ton, of Winburn, her nephew, Mr. James Summerville, and his family and her niece. Mrs. James H. Potter, of this place, at whose home on Linn street the funeral services will be held this morning at 10:30 o'clock. Her body was brought here last evening and her pastor Rev.

Mrs. Kruse had been sick for a long time and had endured several operations to relieve her intense suffering, but the help each time proved only temporary. She was a daughter of William Eckley and had resid- ed here, where she was well known, most of her life. ‘Several years ago Mr. Kruse secured employment in Philadelphia and since then she has made her home there where her father and several sisters re- side. ‘Interment will take place in Phila- delphia. I I ——On Saturday. morning Aaron Van. Scoyoc, aged 62 years, was found dead on the porch of his home in Tyrone, hy two men who were on their way to work.

He officiated at the services when the Masonic Temple was built and six churches honored him with the same job, besides numer- ous other ones.

Hoy and his promising young son were up from Hublersburg on Tuesday morning, but were rather disappointed to find that the gentle shower that was falling when they left home had developed into a perfect down pour.
