THE Business MEN’S PicNic.—Far be- yond the expectation of anyone was the pleasure experienced by the great crowd of people that gathered at Hecla park for the picnic of the business men of Centre and Clinton counties on Wednesday. There were between six and seven thousand peo- ple on the ground and so admirably were they entertained that nothing but praise is to be heard of the gentlemen who had the program and the train accommodations in charge. Everything was se nicely done that there seemed to be no cause for com- plaints from any quarter and the amuse- ments provided were of such a high class as to set this, the seventh annual, picnic apart as the most successful in every way that has ever been held. An alarming south wind that blew up on Tuesday evening presaged rain and in fact there was a slight drizzle between 6 and 7 on Wednesday morning, with threatening clouds hanging overhead until almost noon, when it cleared up and a more glorious afternoon could scarcely be imagined. Out of Bellefonte 2,432 paid fares were collected and from other points on the line enough to run the total of passengers on the rail-road up to 5000 were lifted. More that 1500 others walked and drove to the park. The program began with a delightful concert by the Mileshurg band from 10 to 11 in the morning, then the younger gen- eration of Bellefonte amateurs gave a minstrel show and cake walk that delight- ed all who could get near enough the big elevated stage to hear. From 1 to 2 the Coleville band played and then the ball game between Williamsport and Harris- burg, a state championship game, was call- ed. There were 1800 paid admissions, most of whom were ready to root for Will- iamsport but they couldn’ hit the Har- risburg pitcher nor could they keep the Harrisburgers from knocking out hits at will and lost, in an uninteresting game, by the score of 9 to 2. Right after the ball game the horse race was called. There were three starters: Cayote, owned by Kessinger, of Mill Hall; Trixie, owned by George Beezer, of Belle- fonte; and Dan, owned by Alf Baum, of Bellefonte. The first heat, 3 mile, wasa runaway for Cayote in 43, with Dan and Trixie trailing in the order named. The second heat was a hair raiser, however, for Trixie came down the stretch like a cyclone closing up a long gap, and Cayote beat ber under the wire by just a nose. Time 43. Second and third moneys were divided between Trixie and Dan. At 5 o’clock the trap shooting was called and out of 15 targets each the shooters killed the following : Quigley 12, Cham- bers Dave 12, Van Pelt 11, Meek 9, Blair 9, Garman 8, Miller 7, Graham 7, Knisely Jake 6, Wilson 6, Knisely Jobn 5, Jackson 5, Bower 4, Eckenroth 3, Saucerman 3. Chambers was not shooting for the trophy consequently Quigley won first prize and Van Pelt second. After the shooting there were more hand concerts, another minstrel show and closing it all a fine display of fire works. It is only due them to say that the C. R. R. of Pa., performed wonders in handling so large a crowd without a single accident and getting the trains to and from the park sonearly on schudule time as to cause no inconvenience. Gen. Passenger Agent Warfield was on the grounds all day to personally see that the business men and their friends had everything they desired. And to the general management com- mittee, Messrs J. C. Meyer, Geo. W. Mason, J. Will Conley, O. E. Miles, P. P. Rittman, John I. Olewine, Geo. W. Fred- ericks, J. D. Sourbeck, Sidney Krumrine, J. L. Knisely, G. W. A. McDonald and Joseph Haberstroh the thousands of people who were there owe gratitude for a most delightful picnic day. A heavy rain storm came up abont 9:30 but most of the people had left the park by that time and the few who remained found ample shelter in the pavilion and station. 9 AN ExcITING RUNAWAY.—While driv- ing over Nittany mountain last Tuesday evening a party of Millheim ladies had quite a serious accident. They were Mrs. J. C. Smith and her daughters, Mrs. Rose Mallory, Minerva and Hattie. They were on their road to Nittany valiey and bad just reached Zeiglers saw mill when the harness Broke and their horse ran away. The Sa was upset, throwing all of the ladies out except Mrs. Mallory, who be- came Shits od in the top and was drag- ged by the runaway until her clothing was torn off. She was badly bruised and cut, but had no broken bones. Mrs. Smith had her left knee cap broken and a bone brok- en in her right leg. Minerva was slightly hurt, but Hattie escaped without a scratch. The women were in a deplorable plight until a man came along and hanled them to the home of Mrs. Smith’s brother, Wil- liam Mauck, at Huston. —— For A NEW GLASS WORKS.—An effort is being made to reorganize and re-build the Bellefonte glass works according to the most modern methods known to glass making. All of the members of the old corporation have signified their willing- ness to go into the rebuilding project and as an earnest of their intention have offered to turn the site of the burned factory, with all the fixtures on the ground, in as $12,- 000 subscription of stock. It is purposed to capitalize the new corporation at $62,000, thus leaving $50,- 000 to be subscribed. The usefulness of a glass factory as a revenue producer for the community should appeal to our business men so strongly that little trouble should be experienced.in finding buyers for all the stock. ——Yeager & Davis great sacrifice saie ends on August 22nd.

Ql ne ——William Doll and his brother George have purchased the business and good will of John and Chas. F.

He was suffering terribly from ap- pendicitis and was operated on that day. Mr. Barger is a blacksmith and weighed 210 1bs. ; being a powerful man he was hard to get under the influence of an anesthetic which made the operation all the more diffi- cult. It was found that his appendix was entirely gone and there were several per- forations of the intestines. ee pp ee ——Invitations are out for the marriage of Adjutant F. Donella McIntyre to En- sign Robert F. Butler, which will be cele- brated in the Presbyterian church, at Sara- toga, N. Y., on Sanday evening, August 23rd.

COO rn ——Last Friday the Lock Haven and Bellefonte Methodists met at Heola park for a joint picnic. There were nearly a thous- and people on the grounds during the day and the Methodist brethren were very bap- py with the fine day and the fine weather and the fine grounds until the devil stepped in and started the meta-tarsal bones of some of the youngsters to rattling to the time of the music, then a great unhappiness fell over the multitude and there was wailing and | gnashing of teeth. There were 432 down from Bellefonte and 350 from Lock Haven, according to the train records. be —— After several years of discussion the barbers of Bellefonte finally came to an organizton agreement at a meeting on Monday night and took a few steps to advance their own welfare that the public will be interested in.

There was very little business of any kind to be transacted. In fact the only matters brought up before the trouble he- gan was the question of the amount that should be paid the high constable for kill- ing and burying dogs that run the streets contrary to the borough ordinauce and a discussion as to who put the bill boards on Bishop and Thomas streets on borough property. Contractor W. L. Steele was present and owned that he did it with his little hatchet, but Frank Galbraith protest- ed against the one on Bishop street and everyone knew what Dr. Kirk would do to hie pet strip of ground along Thomas street. After it took the form of a motion to notify the owner of the property to remove the of- fending hoards within forty-eight hours some of the councilmanic heavy-weight® shook oat a few convolutions of gray mat- ter and discovered that the borough is the owner of the property itself, then they de- cided that as some one had to be notified Mr. Steele, the builder, should be the man. The solution of this weighty problem tick- led the body so much that it straightway voted to accept the K. G. E. invitation to make a show of itself and have a free car- riage ride in their big Labor day parade. Council was about ready to approve the bills and adjourn when solicitor Fortney pulled another ordinance out of his sleeve and proceeded to read it, then the solons got wise again and peppered the questions at the solicitor so fast that the friction of the sound waves scaled the paint off his new trumpet. Everybody was in it but coun- cilman Wise and he was too far away to be heard. What they talked about or what the outcome of the talk was no one could figure out exactly but it finally developed that the solicitor has had a new ordinance book prepared into which all the ordinances are being transcribed at $35.00 per, and for fear there wouldn’t be enough to make the bill becomingly large he thought an his- torical sketch of Bellefonte ought to be put in asa sort of a preface. Then some one suggested that a drawing of a female figure emblematical of Bellefonte would look nice as a frontispiece and that it wonld be quite a propos to have her weeping over the Boro debt. This idea struck them all but Dr. Kirk as a good one. He couldn’t stand for so much water going to waste and was only brought into acquiescence after his fellow members had assured him that they would have the artist draw a meter on the lady's tear duct so he would bave some way of charging up the water she weeps away. At this juncture a boy passing out-side started to whistle “Home Ain’t nothing like This,” so shrilly that it wakened Tommy Shaugh- .ensy from his slumber and in the lull caus- ed by the cessation of his snoring some one remembered the bills and called for their reading. After they were approved they were ordered paid as follows : Water PRY TOM...ecrsesrssevisnssasssersessan eserian Labor on Water street wall.. = Street pay roll.... John Olewine..... S. K.
