Foot Ball at Williamsport Oct. 11th.
A great foot ball event will be witnessed
in Williamsport on Saturday, Oct. 11th,
1902, when Bucknell and the Carlisle In-
dians will line up for another battle on the
Athletic park grounds. Assurances have
been given that this will be one of the
liveliest games ever played between any
other team and the Indians. Both teams
will be at their best and those who witness
the struggle between them will be well en-
tertained. The usual excursion rates of
one fare for round trip bave been granted
on the various railroads, for a distance of
one hundred miles, good from the 11th to
13th inclusive.

Highest Point in the State.
- E. Matley, a civil engineer in the em-
ploy of the Pennsylvania railroad com-
pany, who has charge of the extension of
the Crabtree and Herminie branches of the
Pennsy, in Westmoreland county, made
the discovery that Big Bald Knob, in the
Allegheny mountains, on the line between
Somerset and Bedford counties, is the most
elevated point in Pennsylvania. Big Bald
Knob is 3,000,7 feet above sea level, and is
about eight miles from the Cambria coun-
ty line. Until Mr. Matley’s recent sur-
vey, whereby he proves the height of Big
Bald Knob, the highest known point in
Pennsylvania was near Luthersburg, Clear-
field county, where a peak reaches the ele-
. vation of 2,780 feet.
Mr. Matley has furnished his surveys
and calculations to the government engi-.
neers having in charge the new geological
survey of the State, and the latter have ac-
cepted Big Bald Knob as the culminating
point for Pennsylvania.

A RioT AT PoRT MATILDA—This peace-
ful and quiet town was the scene of a most
exciting event about 9:30 o'clock last Frri-
day morning. The facts, as near as can be
learned, are as follows: On Wednesday
the 1st a large band of toughs styling
themselves gypsies were encamped at Cold
Stream, near Philipsburg. Doing some
depredation at that place a large crowd
of angry citizens went rough-shod to do
the gypsies up. A regular riot ensued in
which one of the citizens had an arm brok-
en and another had an eye knocked out.
The whole out-fit, men, women, children,
wagons, horses, dogs, of the gypsies then
started across the mountain, twelve miles,
for the Bald Eagle valley, camping for the
night in several places along the foot hills ;
some at Flat Rock, others at Laurel Run.
In the meantime constable Ira Howe, of
Philipsburg, and several deputies started
in pursuit, passing the gypsy camp in the
dark and knowing they would be moving
on down to the valley in the morning they
came on to Port Matilda and laid for them
there. The first to arrive was one of
the parties wanted. He was quietly ar-
rested. Soon others came. The women
screaming threw themselves on the officer
and endeavored to pull the prisoner loose.
About this time the young man’s father
appeared on the scene and going to the
officer wrenched the boy loose and hurried
him into a waiting cart and started on a
gallop through the town for Muncy ridge.
At this time the shooting began, when
shot after shot was fired, fully fifteen in all,
right in among the fifty or sixty citizens
there assembled. One shot hit George
Steele, a young farmer, who bappened to
be in town, making a painful though not
dangerous flesh wound. One shot fired ab
the an who wrenched the prisoner loose,
who appeared to be the gypsy boss, was
believed to have hit him as he was seen to
stagger as though he bad been hit. On re-
gaining their wagons they drew their pistols
and yelling like Indians sped through the
crowd, some crossing the mountain towards
Half-moon, others taking the valley road to
Tyrone.
Telegrams were sent to sheriff Brungart
who came with a deputy and together with
the constable started in pursuit, over-taking
and capturing one of the men wanted at
Birmingham. The three other men were
arrested at Howard and together with two
women and three children were all brought
to jail here. They were all released later,
however. Two of the men on bail and the
others because there were no charges against
them.
COUNCIL IN SEsSIoN.—After waiting for
half an hour or more there were five mem-
bers of council gathered about the table in
the council chamber Monday evening and
as no more came they transacted the busi-
ness before the body. Those present were
members Gherrity, Derstine, Kirk, Knise-
ly and Whittaker. :
Under the report of the Street committee
chairman Derstine mentioned various
work done under his supervision and sug-
gested that a grade be given Oscar Wetzel
for a pavement on Reynolds avenue.
The Water committee reported the need
of a tap at the Catholic church, the matter
being referred back to the committee with
power.
The Fire and Police committee reported
the election of George Cunningham, Logan,
as fire marshall ; William Beezer, Undine,
1st Asst. ; John Lambert, Undine, 2nd
Asst., the selections having been confirmed
by council.
The report of the borough treasurer
showed a balance in the treasury on Oat.
6th of $6,053.05.
Under the heads of old and new business
several interesting matters were called up.
The special water committee reported
that the improvements to the reservoir bad
been completed, that is, all but building a
retaining wall and filling in with dirt
enough to support the additional height
given the reservoir. The work thus far
completed amounting to $825.00. The
committee wanted council to decide fort
whether a stone or cement coping should
be put on the top of the wall. Just
why it should come into council asking for
advice on such a comparatively trifling ex-
penditure, after having made contracts for
new pumps, boilers and walls costing
$825.00, without ever having reported more
than ‘‘progress’’ to council, must have ap-
peared rather suspicious to the other mem-
bers for they failed to act.
Then Dr. Kirk called up the controversy
over the water supplied to the steam heat
works, urging that as they had failed to
sign the new contract there was nothing
left for council to do but enforce its ul-
timatum of cutting off the water. This
did not please the other members of coun-
cil either and Mr. Derstine moved that the
steam heat works be given water at the old
contract of last year and called for the ayes
and nays. Derstine, Whittaker and
Knisely voted aye-and Kirk and Gherrity
Day.
Bids for the proposed wall along Water
street were read, buf as council did not feel
financially able to take up the work they
were all laid on the table. Here is anoth-
er peculiar condition. The Water com-
mittee raises rents and fixes exorbitant
meter rates so that it can secure money to
spend thousands of dollars on the water
works and reservoir when there wasn’t a
complaint from any quarter of a scarcity
of water, This improvement at the water
works started originally:on a plan to raise
the fires out under,
have been lost. sight; of entirely.
With the Water committee given carte
blanche to raise millage and spend money
as it pleases to efféct improvements that
have not yet. materialized and for which
there was no immediate need the Street
committee must acknowledge that it cuts
little figure in council when it can’t secure
enough money to build a wall and walk
along a street that is much used and where
such an’ improvement would be a lasting
ornament to the town.
Epidemic of Suicide in the Navy.
The fourth suicide among United States
paval officers within a month took place
recently, when Lieutenant-Commander
William T. Bronaugh blew out his brains
with a revolver on the battleship Kearsarge
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Worry over
his duties as executive officer of the vessel
is given as the reason.
Spring Mills.
All our invalids appear to be on the mend.
James Kennelley has just placed a very
bandsome portico to his residence. It is a
decided improvement.
Dr. H. S. Braucht for coroner. The Dr. is
a very able physician, popular, a sound Dem-
ocrat and every inch a gentleman. He will
poll a large vote.
A. Corman & Sons were obliged to get a
new grinder and hopper for their cider press
owing to the wreck of last week, caused by
some scoundrel placing a stone in the hop-
per. :
0. T. Corman is sole agent here for the
International Home and Cattle Food Co. and
has just received a large invoice of the goods.
It is said to be superior to anything in that
line. Mr. C. can furnish it in any quantity.
Our merchants report a fair business dur-
ing last month. Commercial agents in pass-
ing through the village report traffic on the
road as being slightly off,owing to merchants
about leaving for the city to buy fall and
winter goods.
The path on the south side of Penns-creek
—it can hardly be called a walk,though great-
ly used, commencing at the foot bridge and
continuing for a considerable distance, is in
a deplorable condition, leaning at an angle of
about 45 degrees, and abounding in mud
holes and ruts and in wet weather as slippery
as glass. There is no sense in having a trap
like this, but wait till an accident occurs
and then hurry fill it up—not before. It is
really an outrage that we should be deprived
of a bridge over Sinking creek, the main
thoroughfare to the R. R. station, for over six
months, and no signs yet of its rebuilding,
and not likely to be for some time. The au-
thorities at Harrisburg are now too busy bol-
stering up Cousin Sammy fo give any atten-
tion to public duties. It is simply scanda-
lous.
[In answer to our correspondent’s im-
patience concerning the bridge in question
the WATCHMAN is pleased to inform the peo-
ple of Spring Mills that the state surveyor
will be there to-day to get the work started.

With her dust-pans, brooms and brushes
Sweeping all the live-long day.

Comes each morn at break of day,
Swinging to and fro her brushes,
Sweeping all the dust away.
Backward, forward, always smiling,
“I haf shrip as I haf say,”
With her brushes she is sweeping
All the cares of life away.
Swept ber children into manhood,
The mortgage from her home away
She will sweep an open pathway,
Into paradise some day.

An Orphanage for this Diocese.
A movement has been inaugurated to es-
tablish an orphanage for this diocese of the
Catholic church and it is said that Bishop
Garvey favors Cresson as the location.
Some time ago Charles M. Schwab offered
to erect a $20,000 residence for the official
head of the new diocese, where upon Bish-
op Garvey suggested that it would be bet-
ter for the diocese to build the episcopal
residence and thus leave Mr. Schwab free
to donate a much needed orphanage. Mr.
Schwab's intentions (n this direction have
not yet been made public. :

Charley Brachbill, Who is on the School Ship Sarato-
ga, Writes Entertainingly of His Tour Abroad and
of the Great Gibraltar.
Funchal, Maderia, Sept. 14th, 1902.
We arrived here August 31st and dropped
anchor at 7:10 p. m., after passing through
the straits of Gibraltar and a short distance
on the Mediterranean. The Straits being
but twelve mileswide one has an opportunity
of seeing both the continents of Europe and
Africa at one glance. While at Gibraltar the
mountains of Africa can be seen looming up
seven miles over the sea. The Rock is the
real point of interest, other than the quaint
town itself.
This enormous fortress rises to the height
of 1,500 ft, is between two and three miles
long and three quarters of a mile wide. In
its time it has been besciged fourteen times
and has been successively occupied by the
Moors, French, Spanish and English.
“Strong as the Rock of Gibraltar’ is a say-
ing the entire world is familiar with, but
those who have never seen this stupendous
natural bulwark can have no conception of
the mighty and enduring simile they use
when they repeat the expression. On the sea
side it has guns trained so as to sweep the
outlet of the Mediterranean, while on the
Jand side guns are placed so that on a mo-
ment’s notice they can be fired into Spain.
The Rock is of limestone formation. Gal-
lerys are cut through the solid rock from one
section of the fortress to the other and the
soldiers live in houses cut out the same way.
Besides their barracks there is one arsenal, a
hospital and other quarters and improve-
ments are continually being made. It grows
stronger year by year.
The only outward indication that the place
is fortified is to be seen in the 1902 holes in
the rock through which so many guns point
a threatening muzzle. So jealously is in-
formation of the fortress guarded that visit-
ors are admitted only to the lower galleries
and soldiers on duty never get to see any
other portion of the fortress except the one
they are located in.
On the land side of the Rock is an old
Moorish castle which was built in the 16th
century. On its walls can be seen marks of
round shot fired by beseigers. England real-
izes the advantage of holding the place and
maintains a large garrison in the town. It
has a population of 8,000 and lies on the
western slope of the Rock. On its narrow,
crooked streets one sees the dress of many
nationalities, English, French, Americans,
Spanish, Portugese, Moors, Arabs, Turks,
Greeks and some from nearly every country
on the globe go to make up the floating pop-
ulation of this curious place.
Silks and woven goods are offered for sale
at little tables along the streets. The prices
asked are exorbitant, but a sale can nearly
always be affected by offering the tricky mer-
chant about one-third of his figure. There
being no duty on tobacco or cigars they are
bought at Gibraltar cheaper that at any oth-
er place in the world. They grow such fruits
as olives, figs and grapes, a pound of Malagas
being worth 6 cts. in the home market.
Another curious regulation is the 7:30 p.
m. gun, at the sound of which every Spaniard
must leave the town or be liable to arrest if
he does not have a permit to remain.
The climate is delightful warm days and
cool nights, adding nature’s best weather to
put the final charm to a scene at once, im-
pressive and captivating.
OFF FOR MADERIA.
Leaving Gibraltar on Sept. 6th we sailed
for the Island of Maderia, 1t being a run of
578 miles. In two days and a half we cover-
ed all but 160 miles of the distance, but were
becalmed and never got here until the even-
ing of September 14th. I expect to be home
along about the latter part of October or the
first of November, that is if the wind does
better for us than it has within the past few
days.’ Yours,
it CHARLES BRACHBILL.

Pes COLLEGE
In the October number of McClure's Magazin
appears the introduction to Miss Ida M. Tarbell’s
long announced ‘History of the Standard Oil
Company.” The first chapter of the history will
appear in November. This not only wiil be Miss
Tarbell’s most important work since her “Life of
Lincoln,” it is also the first piece of historical
wriling of its kind—a dramatic narrative of the
most momentous episode in our industrial devel-
opment of the last quarter century. As is stated
in the introduction, Miss Tarbell has chosen the
Standard Oil Company as the typical trust because
it was the first in the field, because its organiza-
tion is the most perfect, its monopoly the secur-
est, and in particular because every step of its
history can be fully traced by documentary evi-
dence of unimpeachable authority. It is because
of the great mass of this evidence that Miss Tar-
bell has been so long in getting her history into
final form. The first paper will deal with the
«Birth of the Oil Industry.” Miss Tarbell is her-
self a native of the oil regions, and in this part of
her narrative, as also in her account of the great
il War of 1872, she will write of men and events
she has personally known and witnessed.
