Stevenson, while clearing a piece of land on his farm near Waddle. Itis about four andga-half inches in length by two to three in width, and is possibly three-fourth inches through, at its thickest part. It is of stone, and made from a quality not to be found in this see- sion. In fact it looks and feels like soap stone but is as bard as flint. It is perfect in its make and is shaped much like the THE CLOSE OF THE FAIR.—The closing days of the great Centre county fair were without special incidents to mark them as more eventful than were Tuesday, Wednes- day or Thursday. A fall report of the doings of these latter days on the grounds of the Centre County Agricultural Exhibit- ing Co., was published in the ‘last issue of the WATCHMAN and at that time its read- ers were promised the list of those who had won premiums in this issue. Owing to the sad and unexpected outcome of the shooting of President McKinley, and the consequent demand on our space this week, the publication of the premium list will have to be deferred until later. : FRIDAY. Though the weather was anything but re- assuring, there was a crowd of about 3,500 pecple on the grounds on Friday, all eager to witness the races that bad been deferred from day to day by the wet weather and the track was eagerly scanned by every last one of them though the result was most un- promising. As fast as the men in charge of the track would work to get it in condition a light fall of rain would come and undo all they had accomplished in the way of drying it up. . Quite a bit of the back stretch and a large section near the wire was like a mor- tar bed. Notwithstanding this condition the 2:23 class was called about 3 o’clock in the afternoon and four horses came out to start. It was mud from start to finish, but they went three heats as follows : Thomas W. s. g. Palace Stables, Bellefonte....1 1 1 Plotter Wilkes, br. g. Weaver, Montours- ville Indiana John, b. g. Sober, Lewisburg. : Hello, bl. g. Haws, Johnstown......cccceviennrnne Time 2:35, 2:32, 2:3035. At this juncture the judges announced that the special race that had been unfin- ished on Wednesday evening had been drawn, the owners having agreed to award- ing the money as follows: 1st, to E.C. Jordan, the Haws horse of Johnstown; 2nd to Heart of Oak, owned by Enterline, of Shamokin; 3rd to Strathblue, the Palace stables, Bellefonte, and 4th to Niana, Clark- son’s mare from Montoursville. It was impossible to do any further har- ness racing that day, so the runners were called. Phil Thompson, Moyer and Recover came to the wire. Suzie Houze had not recovered from her fall the day before. The first heat was a dead one between Phil Thompson and Moyer, but the second was easily won by the bay, Phil being a bad second with Recover almost distanced. In the third heat Thompson balked at the post and wouldn't start, so Moyer took it with- out competition. The balioon ascension was made as usual and the other features of the fair went on so that no one felt disappointed because the racing had been so broken up by the wet weather. ; SATURDAY. 3 Contrary to everybody's expectations there was a-fair crowd, probably 2,500 peo- ple, on the grounds on Saturday afternoon tosee the races concluded. The fair proper was over, most of. the exhibits and all of the free amusements gone, but the people were anxious to see the races. was still heavy but they were able to get three races off, as follows : 2:27 CLASS. neen of Spades, bh. m, Shields, Punxsu- E LRAWIIEY ce vieessrersvsnmeesrmisassenvesvessinsriossin rasan l 11 Fanney K. b. m.

Time, 2:19%4, 2:17%4, 2.18%. This concluded the racing for the day and was the closing event of the fair. Now that it is all over there seems to be nothing that the management has to look back upon. with regret, except that the weather was not at all propitious. The faithful fulfillment of every promise was apparent to everyone of the thousands who visited the grounds, the amusement fea- tures were entertaining and of an inoffen- sive character, the pay-shows and catch- penny schemes were fair and not of the sort to fleece the public and every provision possible was made for the comfort of those who were on the grounds. The result of it all was an universal expression of satisfac- | tion. The people were delighted with what they saw and did not hesitate to say so. The many enthusiastic expressions have encouraged the fair management to contemplate great improvements for next year. The exhibit feature is to be worked up to the same extensive plan as the racing. The main exhibition building is to be doubled in size and to be filled with agri- cultural exhibits. Other corresponding improvements are to be made that will make the Centre county fair certainly a great one. $ ——Miss Mary E.

He was married to Miss Harriet Noll, who survives him with their children Geo., Irvin, Mrs. Mary Griffith and Mrs. Carrie Armstrong. : A more kindly, straightforward gentle- man than was Mr. Taylor we have never known. His long years of service to the turnpike company gave him an acquaint- ance that was wider than those of most men and his ever courteous manner made friends of all who came in contact with him. He was a type of the old school and his passing marks the departure of another whose place can never be filled.

BELLEFONTE IN MOURNING.—Bellefonte joined with the entire country in paying a tribute of respect to the memory of our late President yesterday. After 12 o’clock noon there wasn’t a store in the town open, most of the large business industries'closed down entirely for the day and all of them closed in as many departments as possible. The Methodist church bell tolled during the en- tire time of the funeral services and, with the services in the Episcopal nnd Lutheran churches in the afternoon _and the public schools in the morning there was a very general observance of the solemnity of the occasion. It seemed far more like the Sab- bath than a mid-week day. The union memorial services for the la- mented President were held in the Metho- diet church:last Sunday evening. It was full to overflowing and the service proved a beautiful tribute to a man whom the Na- tion mourns. Dr. Shriver, of the Metho- dist church, presided ; Rev. Perks, of the United Brethren, offered the first prayer ; Rev. Brown, of the Evangelical, read the scripture lesson ; Dr. Holloway, of the Lutheran, spoke on MoKinley’s private life and Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian, on his public offices.

HOME FROM THE KLONDIKE.—Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lucas, the two argonauts who left their homes in Philipsburg sever- al years ago to seek their fortunes in the frozen north, returned on Saturday and in speaking of the success of their venture the Philipsburg Journal has this to say : Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lucas returned on Saturday from the Klondike, where they have spent the past several years, in the pursuit of the golden treasures of that mod- ern Eldorado, and if report be true, their ef- forts have been successful beyond the ordi- nary. Mr. Lucas, in company with Mr. C. B. . French, of this place, was engaged in the search for gold before they were joined by Miss Phebe Hoover, of this place, Mr. Lucas’ fiance, and it'was not a great while until Mr. Lucas changed ‘‘partners,” taking Miss Phebe as a life one, and together they have succeeded in getting a goodly share of gold. Mr. and Mrs, Lucas intend spending the winter with their friends here, and Mr. Lucas, and possibly his wife, will return to the Klondike in the spring. They look very much as they did when they left Philipsburg, possibly somewhat thinner on account of the hardships they endured in common with all who went into land of ice and snow. eee i emer ——People versed in weather signs say the indications point to a long and mild autumn, though early frosts are predioted. The prevailing direction of the winds bas been east and south, and upon this fact and the position of - the moon the prophecy is based. rns at JoON RYAN HURT.—John Ryan, of this place, James Shoenfelt, of Osceola, and James O’Donohue, of Tyrone, were severely burned by an explosion of hot metal in the Tyrone foundry on Monday.
