IT 1S A GREAT FAIR.—The WATCHMAN
bas persistently used the word great in
connection with its announcements of the
Centre county fair that is being held at
Bellefonte this week and we are bappy to
say that the result shows that it has not
been without warrant. 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.

2ND RACE, REALLY 2:17 cLAss, $60, $40,

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.

THURSDAY.
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.

~==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.

——Mrs. John M.' Dale gave a theatre
party Wednesday night for her guests, Miss
Marlowe and Miss Margery Knowles, of
Richmond, Va. After the play a supper
was served to a number of young people at
the Dale home on Linn street.
——Mr. and Mrs. Alvah Alonzo Hoff-
man have issued invitations for the mar-
riage of their daughter Caroline to Mr. W.
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.

——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.

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.

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

enbach, of Philipsburg.
LIEUTENANT FREDERICK A. DALE
MARRIED.—Lieutenant Frederick Allport
Dalé, assistant surgeon, U. S. 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.

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.

dren, are in Centre county for a visit of two
months with relatives in their old home county.
Mr. Houser has many brothers living about Belle-
fonte and anticipates a pleasaut time with them,
after his absence of eighteen years. He is a
prosperous farmer, near Grand Island, but he
says they have the same trouble out West that
our Centre county husbandmen experience, that
is, they find it almost impossible to secure good
farm hands. :
—John Beezer, formerly of this place, who has
grown to like it so well at Punxsutawney that he
hadn't been back to see his friends here for two
years, arrived in town with Mrs. Beezer, on
Wednesday morning, and will stay until after
Sunday. They stopped to visit Mrs. Beezer's
parents at Julian, on Tuesday, and came very
near getting storm staid there, a condition that
would have broken Johnny's heart, when all the
fast horses and horsemen in the country are cir-
culating about Bellefonte. There is nothing a.
Beezer likes better than a fine horse and
while John told us he came over to see his friends
we have our suspicions that the fair had more to T
do with it than anything else.
—Arthur Irvin, of Julian, who has charge of his
father’s large store at that place, took yesterday
off and came down to enjoy the fair.
—Miss Mary Devling, of Clearfield, whose posi-
tion with the Peale, Peacock and Kerr coal com-
pany could well be envied by many of the “sturdy
oaks,” was in town yesterday visiting Mrs. Frank
Warfield.
—J. A. Harris Esq., of Williamsport, was in
town on Wednesday visiting his uncle James
Kelly. He was on his way to Chicago, where
he expects to locate for the practice of law. His
brother was recently murdered in Chicago and if
the murderer is apprehended the young lawyer
expects to assist in his prosecution.

A BURSTING PULLEY DISFIGURED HIM
FOR LIFE.—The chain of ill-luck that
seems to have fettered Arthur Young to
bad fortune dragged him to a frightful
calamity on Monday. :
He is the 28 year old son of George
Young, of Hecla park, and soon after his
marriage to Emma Minnigh, of Nittany,
they moved to Cross Forks, where Arthur
worked on a lumber mill. 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.

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT AT HOWARD.

entertainment that is to be a revelation in
the show line to the people of Howard. It

sion in that place and St. Bernard’s choir,
with the best home talent and several
Bellefonte amateurs, will make up the cast.
It will be given in Lucas’ hall on Saturday

roariously funny. :
