JouN Haupr KILLED IN A VALLEY
WRECK.—A frightful head on collision oc-
curred about a mile and a half east of the
Beech Creek station on the Bald Eagle val-
ley railroad shortly before 9 o'clock yes-
terday morning and as a result of it one
man was literally ground to pieces and two
others seriously injured. :
The wreck occurred on a comparatively
straight piece of track and there is no ex-
planation of its cause other than that there
was a violation of orders somewhere. It
might probably have been averted had not
the heavy fog made it impossible to see for
any distance along the track and the trains
were too close together to hestopped. The
one was an extra freight, west bound. The
other the valley wreck train, east bound.
According to the stories of the crews both
trains were running at a high speed and
no one but those in the engine had an in-
stant’s warning before the crash came.
In the engine of the wreck train were
conductor John Woodring, engineer Al.
Austin, flagman John Haupt and the fire-
man, all of Tyrone. When they saw the
freight plowing toward them through the
fog, only a short distance ahead,all tried to
jump. Austin and the fireman were first,
and escaped with only slight injuries. Con-
ductor Woodring had an arm broken and
was badly scalded. Haupt was the last to
try, but, alas, he was too late and being
caught was literally ground to pieces. Both
of his legs were crushed off, he was disem-
boweled and mangled everywhere except
his face and head. "His body was gathered
up in a blanket and sent to his home in
Tyrone.
Engineer Sausserman of the extra, escap-
ed without injury, but brakeman Snyder,
one of his crew, was scalded so badly that
he was taken to the Lock Haven hospital.
That the traius were running at very
high speed is demonstrated by the condi-
tion of the wreck. The engines look like
a heap of scrap and six cars are smashed to
kindling wood. The only car on the wreck
that escaped was the cabin car in which all
the other men were all unconscious of their
danger. It did not even leave the track.
John Haupt was the eldest son of Mrs.
Isaac Haupt, of Thomas street, this place.
He was about forty years old and had been
running on the wreck train ever since he
was a boy. Before leaving Bellefonte,
when the crew was transferred from this
place to Tyrone, he was married to Miss
Jane Boreman, who survives him with
their seven children. John was an ener-
getic, thrifty man and was a trusted em-
ployee of the P. R. R. Co. He was a mem-
ber of the relief association, a beneficiary
in the Brotheihood of Trainmen and carri-
ed other insurance besides.
His. mother and brothers Theodore,
Newton, William and Edward and his sis-
ter, Mrs. Chas, McClelland, are residents
of Bellefonte. Another sister, Mrs. Ellen
Llewlyan, resides in Vermont.
:.;No:arrangements had been made for the
funeral ‘up to the time of our going to

STRUCK BY A SPENT WINCHESTER
BaLL.—Guy Corman, the twelve year old
son of Ira Corman, met with a peculiar
mishap a few. days ago.
With bis father he was engaged at husk-
ing corn in a field on B. F. Homan’s farm
near Oak Hall. The boy was sitting on
the ground working away, when he sud-
denly jumped to his feet and began scream-
ing with fright and pain. The father was
utterly dambfounded at his child’s mys-
‘terious actions and thought him suddenly
deranged until he noticed blood triekling
from the back of his head. There was an
ugly wound, bnt it even deepened the
mystery, for there was no apparent cause.
Father and son were alone in an open field,
they had heard no shots and were almost
ready to ascribe the injury to supernatural
causes when they found a Winchester ball
among the fodder. :
Where it came from will probably never
be known, but it had evidently traveled a
great distance and its force was spent for
it had fallen straight down, plowing a
furrow along the back of the boy’s scalp.

FIFTY THOUSAND FOR A TROTTING
STALLION.—The great trotting sire ‘*Ash-
land Wilkes” was sold at Lexington, Ky.,
to Harry Orr, of Reading, for $50,000, on
Monday. ‘Ashland Wilkes’’ is one of the
most notable horses of the period, being
the sire of ‘'John R. Gentry’’ 2:013.
This sale would indicate that Mart B.

Wilkes’’ and a half-brother of ‘‘Gentry.”

-—The wise citizen takes very little
stock in the disgruntled fellows who hack
ahout over the county fighting some part
of their own ticket—be they Republicans
or Democrats. It is easy to be seen that
they are not inspired by any desire to se-
eure the best officials for the county, but
that personal spite is their motive and they
would like to make others the clubs with
which they assault those whom they dis.
like.

DowN AND Up.—The Hickman Bros.,
will produce “Down and Up’ at Garman’s
on Thursday night, November 6th. :
It the old adage, ‘laugh and grow fat,”
counts for anything at all, it will be safe to
predict that any one who has the pleasure
of witnessing this performance will increase
in avoirdupois. From the raise of the cur-
tain until its final fall the spirit of mirth
and fun prevails. ‘“‘Down and Up” is an
acrobatic farcecomedy, and it is refreshing
to know that the art of genuine fun making
on the stage, with comedy gymnastics and
humor coupled with novel scenic effect is
not » thing of the past.

Allison Bros. proprietors of the extensive
flouring mills in our village, in addition to
remodeling the old dilapidated farm house
disgonally opposite the mill, and transform-
ing it into a beautiful and inviting residence
—a decided improvement to the whole neigh-
borhood, have just about completed a very
large and substantial grain house, located at
the northern extremity or base of what is com-
monly called and well known as the “hill,”
and at the most elevated point. The build-
ing towering up over forty feet from the
ground, from the eastern end of their exten.
sive coal yard. The upper story of the build-
ing being on a level with the main road lead-
ing to the town proper and R. R. staticn west,
and east to George's Valley. The structure is
very imposing and massive, especial care
having been exercised to give it sufficient
strength to sustain almost any weight. Quite
a number of new and valuable improvements
have been introduced, together with all the
necessary conveniences. The building has a
capacity for 20,000 bushels of grain, and am-
ple room for the storage of vast quantities of
salt, plaster and hay. The Allison Bros are
merchants, not jobbers, and in addition to
their large milling business, and heavy opera-
tions in grain, plaster, salt and hay, deal very
largely in anthracite and bituminous coal.
