Though the weather has been anything but propitious the fair has gone on without interruption and the thousands who have visited the grounds have heen well satisfied with the entertain- ment provided for them. Every promise has been fulfilled. There are more and more varied entertainments than last year, the stock exhibit is nearly double as large and in every feature but one the fair surpasses expectations. The one short coming is entirely unavoidable, however, as it is due entirely to conditions over which the management has no control. We refer to the display of agricultural products. The early date of the fair and the poor crop season in Centre county are responsible for this, though in that de- partment there are even more exhibits than will be found at most fairs in the State. Owing to the uncertainties occasioned by the rain of Wednesday and yesterday morning the WATCHMAN has deemed it best not to publish a complete record of the exhibits and events of the various days un- til the next issue, when each will be given the attention it merits. WEDNESDAY. Wednesday was really the first pay day at the fair. While it opened formally the day before the races and various entertain- ment features did not get under full sway until Wednesday. Notwithstanding the heavy rain of Tuesday night and the threatening weather of the following morn- ing there were about $3,000 people on the grounds. They enjoyed themselves seeing the exhibits, throwing balls at the babies, ringing canes, drinking orange cider, visit- ing Col. Westlake’s great show and the clever wild west aggregation until the track events were called. Then the Coleville band and Prof. Harry Smith, with his troupe of gymnasts, jugglers, and trained dogs kept things going between the heats. The races were all special but the run- ning event. Owing to the failure to fill the 2:40 and 2:17 classes they were made special races. 1st RACE, REALLY THE 2:40 Crass, $40 Each. Lucille Wilson, ch m, N.

This race turned out to be a far prettier than it wounld had it been for a purse. The drivers got into trouble among them- selves and. then went in for blood. The result ‘was. that there was a real horse race. Wilson, who had evidently laid ‘‘Heart of Oak’’ up for the first three heats, went after Jordon, the Haws horse of Johns- town, and took the fourth heat in a pound- ing finish; it being so close that there was a great division of opinion among those at the wire as to which horse was really un- der first. The next heat the stallion won easily, butit was then too dark to continue it, so it was postponed until Thursday. E. C.

Yesterday would have more than fal- filled the WATCHMAN’S predictions of a tea thousand crowd had the heavy rain that fell in the morning held off for anoth- er day. There were fully 5,000 people on the grounds, however, and they all enjoy- ed themselves notwithstanding. The track was too heavy for any of the harness racers, but the runners were called out and gave a thrilling exhibition in the mud. As they were dashing down the stretch Susie Houze fell and rolled over her jockey, James Douglas, of Williamsport, several times. He laid unconscious on the track, | bat was not struck by any of the others. When carried away he regained conscious- ness and last evening was suffering only a little stiffness as a result. The judges then decided that the track was too muddy hnd called the race off. All of yesterday’s races will be ran to- day and on Saturday the great free-for-all will go with Ainesworth, Rosebud and the other fast ‘ones in the string. Remember this. The fair will continue on Saturday. Speers A ee—— ~==8hippman’s company in ‘‘Pudd’n- head Wilson'’ appeared at Garman’s, on Wednesday night, and played to standing room. The crowd was a deserved one,for a better balanced, more capable cast has nev- er been seen on a Bellefonte stage. All that is in Mark Twain’s clever comedy was brought out and when we say that it was a production at which no policeman. was necessary to keep the gallery quiet we con- sider that we have paid the players of Wed- nesday night a high compliment. Miss Louise Ripley, as ‘‘Roxy'’ was exception- ally strong ; William 8. Gill portrayed Twain's misunderstood lawyer to a nicety that was delightful, while Miss Niblo as “Rowy’”’ and William Colvin as ‘Sheriff Blake’ were characters who lent materially to the success of the production. But it is unfair to particularize because the entire cast was first class. —— A ere—— —— Suberibe for the WATCHMAN, — The hest day of the Fair will be to- morrow. —_——te Sweet, the crack centre rush of last season’s Bucknell foot ball team, will be at State this fall.

Harrison Walker, of Bellefonte. The cer- emony will be performed on Wednesday evening, September 25th, at 8 o’clock, at the bride’s home at Pleasantville. ——The engagement of Miss Annie M. Brooks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Brooks, of Pleasant Gap, and Harry Gent- zel has been publicly announced. The wed- ding, which. will be the social event of the month at Pleasant Gap, will be celebrated at the home of the bride's parents on Thursday, the 26th, at 5 o’clock. Mr. Gentzel is a son of Henry Gentzel, but his home is now in Altoona, where he has been employed for more than a year. eee A eer. ——At the entertainment in the Metho- dist lecture room on Thursday evening, given under the auspices of the Epworth League, for the henefit of the church debt obligation, Miss Elizabeth Faxon got unto herself an ovation which she amply de- served. She is a bright and clever girl; so clever that many of her sketches are living likenesses of the characters she imperson- ates. Her forte is imitating children and light and amusing characters, though her repertoire includes widely different roles If she be wise, too, she will keep to the line in which she shines particularly, for in these days comedy is far more in de- mand than drama or tragedy. . There were other attractions there, too, that evening. ‘Will Van Tries and Russell Blair contribut- ed much to the success of the entertainment by their mandolin and guitar playing. Misses Helen and Eunlalie Williams played several duets and Miss Sarah Fitzgerald sang quite a pretty solo. — A eres. HEIRS CONTESTING FOR MILLIONS.— The following telegram from Pottsville, which appeared in the Philadelphia papers recently will be of interest to many Centre county families, since a number of them are of the Moser family tree. The case in- volves millions of dollars which the Mosers claim from the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. While there are no Mosers in this county the Mussers are the branch that will come in for a share of the immense sum, if the gait is won. The Mussers of Centre coun-" ty were originally Mosers, the change of name being on record in the Court house here. Pottsville, Pa., Sept. 3—President Judge 0. P. Bechtel to-day set down Sept. 17th as the date when the famous Moser case, in- volving millions of dollars, will be tried in the Schuylkill county court. John G. John- son and other Philadelphia lawyers have been engaged in the case. The suit involves the title to land comprising nearly the entire borough of Tamaqua, and also valuable coal lands on which the Lehigh Valley coal com- pany has seven collieries. If the plaintiffs win over 500 families will lose their homes. ee ete THE GOLDEN RoD DANCE.—The Golden Rod dance, the last of the summer series in the Armory here, last Friday night, was a great success. The armory was beautifal- ly decorated and there were so many guests from a distance present as to make it an af- fair extraordinary. Chappell’s orchestra furnished the music. Among the out of town guests were John M. Gates, Chas. A. Cass, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas K. Morris, and Miss Cass, Tyrone; Miss Anne Barnes, Patton; Harry Ander- son, Chicago; H. L.. Evans, Baltimore; Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Morris, Pittsburg; Miss Pettit, Robert and Harry Fay, Altoona; Miss Edwards, Pittsburg; James Mathers, Cleveland; Miss Fredericks, Flemington; Mrs. dd. 8.

A., was married to Miss Caroline Maude Kern, at the cottage of the bride's father, 215 Pa- cific avenue, Atlantic City, at noon, on Wednesday, September 4th. Their mar- riage was very unostentatious,no one being present but a few of their nearest relatives, Mr. David Dale, of Lemont, was the best man and Miss Margaret Chapman, of Phil- adelphia, was the maid. The bride was gowned in white crepe ‘de chene with lace yoke and sleeves. She wore a white hat and carried lillies of the valley. The groom wore his military uniform. Immediately after the ceremony a break: fast was served at the cottage, the bride having cut the wedding cake with her sol- dier husband’s sword. Lieutenant Dale is the eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. J. Y. Dale, of Lemont. After a course of study at The Pennsylvania State College he was graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsyl- vania. Later he was appointed lieutenant and assistant surgeon in the regular army and ordered to Manila. He returned to the States last month in charge of the Fonr- teenth infantry aod is at present on a month’s leave. His bride is a daughter of Howard R. Kern Esq., of Philadelphia, DIED VERY UNEXPECTEDLY.—While driving with her husband and child from their home in Milesburg to Catholic church, in this place, Sunday evening, Mrs Alois A. Kohlbecker was taken suddenly ill and seemed unable to gether breath. They were on Allegheny street, near Cri- der’s Exchange, at time and she was lifted from the wagon and taken into Zellers drug store. Her struggles to get enough air into her lungs to keep from suffocating were pitiable indeed, but though several physicians were hastily called nothing would give her relief and she died ina very few minutes. It is supposed that death was caused hy fatty degeneration of the heart, though she had never been sick a day in her life before the end came. Mrs. Kohlbecker was born in Pittsburg July 25th, 1852. Her maiden name was Annie Mary Seigworth. She married Alois Kohlbecker in September, 1870, and to their union sixteen children were born. Ten of them survive their mother as fol- lows: Louis, Monongahela City; Mrs. Felix Vallimont, Kane; Frank, Harvey, Emma, Estella, Francis, Josephine, Lena and Ollie, all at Milesburg. Mrs. Kohlbecker was a most devoted wife and mother. Her every thought and endeavor was for her family and in her sad death they have experienced an unex- pected bereavement that only Him who doeth all things well can comfort. She was a consistent member of St. John’s Catholic church in this place and requiem mass for the repose of her soul was cele- brated there by Father McArdle at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. ll Bd Mgrs. W. FLETCHER BIDDLE.—Mrs. Jane Biddle, wife of W. Fletcher Biddle, of Buffalo Run, died at her home near Waddle’s, on Friday evening, of diabetes. Mrs. Biddle had heen under a physician’s care for some time but she was not consid- ered seriously ill until the Sunday previous to her death. On that day, while return- ing from the home of “her mother-in-law, nearby, where she had accompanied her husband for a short visit, she fell uncon- scious to the ground and was with difficuly gotten to her home. From that until the end she was unconscious most of the time. Her maiden name was Wasson and she was born at Lemont. She was comparatively a young woman and very energetic and industrions. That she was kind is known from the fact, that having no children of her own, she had taken several forlorn little ones and given them good homes. She was a member of the Methodist church and her pastor, Rev. Runyon, conducted the funeral services at her home on Sunday morning at 9 o’clock. She is survived by her husband and an adopted daughter. Interment was made at the Branch. 0 : Mes. JoEN - W. MoRrRIs.—Mrs. Eleanor Brinton Morris, formerly of this ‘place but now of Johnstown, died at her home there on Saturday morning. Mrs. Morris, whose maiden name was McClellan and whose girlhood days were spent at Potter’s Mills, was a woman of attractive personality and much ability. She was a relative of the Potters and Irvins of this county and was in her 55th year. She was twice married, the first time to H. T. McClellan, who was manager of the Baker Iron works at Al- legheny furnace, and some years after his death to John W. Morris, who survives her with his daughter Mrs. Mary Morris Cooper, of New York. She was a member of the Second Presbyterian church of Johnstown and her pastor Dr. Booth con- cluded her funeral services Monday morn- ing. Interment was made in Altoona. : I 1 If PoLk LINN DIES SUDDENLY.—Polk Linn, a well known resident of Eagleville, died suddenly at his home in that place on Monday. He became ill on the previous Friday and the physicians who were called in deciGed to perform an operation cn Monday. When they arrived from Lock Haven that day they founl him in such a state of collapse as to make an operation impossible. He died at noon that day. Mr. Linn was 56 years old and is surviv- ed by a widow and daughter. Only a few weeks ago their son Frank died with ty- phoid fever and Mrs. Linn is prostrated with the burden of sorrow that has heen hers recently. " I ll I SISTER EUGENE 1s DEAD.—Sister Eu- gene, whose wordly name was Ella Glenn’ and whose parents were Mr. and Mrs. Jer- emiah Glenn, of near Curtins’ Works, died at her home there on Thursday, September 5th, after a long and wasting illness with consumption.

Last winter he buried his youngest child, shortly after- wards the family was burned out of house and home, barely escaping from the flames in their night clothes. Then Arthur took typhoid fever and nearly died. He had just recovered sufficiently to go to Nittany to visit his wife’s parents for a few days, when this latest misfortune befell him. On Monday afternoon he walked down to Shower’s saw mill, near the station at Huston, and was sitting near the shingle mill reading a newspaper. It was about 3 o'clock. Suddenly the pulley on the gov- ernor shaft on the engine became loose and, at once, the engine started off at such a terrific speed as to cause the large pulley that run the shingle mill to burst. It was directly under the place Arthur was seat- ed and burst with such force as to throw fragments in all directions. One part of it- went clear through the roof, while another struck the young man on the point of the lower jaw, smashing the bone and his teeth into fragments. Dr. Huston was called to the scene as speedily as possible and re- moved many small particles of the bone, but being unprepared to do more he was sent to the Lock Haven hospital. Though very weak from the loss of blood he regained consciousness and the latest re- port is to the effect that he will recover, though he will be disfigured for life. Qn GRAND ENTERTAINMENT AT HOWARD. —Miss Minnie Weldon is arranging for an entertainment that is to be a revelation in the show line to the people of Howard.
