H. Clark, at Mill Hall. It didn’t contain much in words, but in money—Well, you know, ‘‘money talks’ and talks lots at times like this. ——The water in many of the streams of Centre county is lower now than it has been for some time, a number of farmers being compelled to haul water from Beile- fonte for domestic purposes, as well as for their stock. ——Rev.

F. Reeder, has transferred her base of operations to Republican headquarters. It must be flattering to her as a woman to know herself and machine in demand in this doughsy campaign of the colonel’s and judge’s. If she and it would only talk what wonld happen, IT wonder (?) ———The Huntingdon & Clearfield Tele- phone Co., on Saturday, completed their line to Gillintown, where connection was made with the United Telephone Co. This will give the patrons of the former com- pany: connection, over two pair of wires, with Bellefonte, Lock Haven, Williamspors Tyroue, Altoona and intervening points, a service that will be very greatly appre- ciated. -— The famous ‘‘Brack’’ Powell is again in the toils of the law.

W. Rightnour, where he was wanted on the charge of having stolen a valuable pointer dog. THE GREAT CENTRE COUNTY FAIR. —True to our prediction all that was needed was fine weather to make the great Centre county fair the success that was promised. We had it Wednesday and Thursday and both days were record- breakers in points of attendance. Every feature advertised was exhibited together with many unexpected and very attractive others. The grounds are in fine condition and, barring the cold of yesterday, there was everything to conduce to amuse- ment and interest. The order was splendid and such displays as are shown in the poultry house and the main expo building are alone worth a trip to the grounds to see. Next week we will publish a list of the exhibite, with the premium winners. 2:17 TROT AND PACE. It was easy for Sallie Derby to win the 2:17 on Wednesday afternoon, but in the second heat Ada D: forced Grav to drive her out of her class and clip of a second off her mark of 2:18}. In the third heat Johnson pushed her up to a very fast clip and would likely have sent her down a few seconds more had Ada not broken to a stand still on the back stretch on the second lap. The heats were as follows : Sallie Derby, Gray, Stormstown............... 111 Ada D. Johnson, Charlton....... cceesieueuans 3:22 Glencoe, F. Gutierrez, Huntingdon...2 3 Dist Time, 2.19, 2.174, 2. 21 2:25 TROT AND PACE. There were five starters in this event and while Dutch took first money without ‘much trouble there were several exciting drives for places. Ben H, driven by Dr. Jones, of Bellefonte, seemed to have more speed than he showed in the first and second. This was demonstrated in the third, when another driver was put up and the roan was pushing Dutch bard until be went off his feet too late to recover his po- sition which seemed certain to land him a winner of the heat. The heats were won as follows : Dutch, Davis Wise, Minersville.............. 111 Ben H., Dr. Jones, Bellefonte ................. 282 John D., Arthur Harmon, Lock Haven....3 2 3 Vernes Hal, W. V, Larimer, Bellefonte...5 4 4 Lillie Rieke], McNitt, Reedsville............ 455 Time, 2.27; 2.28; 2.2614 It was nearly fiveo’clock before any of the crowd began to leave the grounds. All the special features being over the crowd showed an inclination to remain and dally with fortune on the paddle wheels, but a heavy shower sent everyone scurrying for cover and as the rain settled down for regular business on the old Centre county fair plan the day ended in gloom for its projectors. THURSDAY ALL RIGHT. The rain that began falling Wednesday evening continued until 11 o'clock that night and depression was everywhere ap- parent. The horsemen avout the hotels looked distressed and everyone felt badly because it appeared to be fated that the fair was never to have good weather. But yesterday morning dawned clear and cool. The resnlt was another record breaking crowd. The Lewisburg, Bellefonte Cen- tral, C. R. R. of Pa., Bald Eagle valley and Snow Shoe trains were all crowded when they arrived. More wagons and carriages were seen on the streets in the morning than have been here for years. It was scarcely eight o’clock, however, before the bright sunshine was eclipsed by threaten- ing looking clouds again and woe fell upon us ohce more. It wasa day of changes, for at noon the last of them had disappeared and it was realized that the weather man for once had decided to give the fair people what they bave been longing for. The crowd yesterday afternoon was esti- mated at about 9000. Everyone had a good time, no accidents of any sort hap" pened to mar the pleasure of an individual and all departed feeling that they had been well entertained, nicely treated and been given everything in the way of amusement that had been promised them. 2:35 TROT AND PACE. The first race of the afternoon brought out only four starters and as Bessie M. got the flag in the first heat it simmered down to a fight for second place hetween Oakline and Ebbony Belle. Kansas Chief bad an easy thing of getting first money and Larimer did not drive him anywhere near his speed because he had no mark and there was no use in getting anything lower on him than he had to take. Kansas Chief, M. B. Garman, Bellefonte..1 1 1 Ebony Bell, E. Minnich, Minersville....... 232 Oakline. Bolapue, Howard.............. se Bessie M., Ball, Lock Haven...........csenee Time 2:3434; 2:36; 2:3434 2:20 TROT AND PACE. This proved to be the fine race of the afternoon. There were six starters and a grand fight for second money, though if did seem that Roan View wasn’t driven up fo his speed. M. Fauble’s horse Charm was the only local starter and his poor showing seemed to be due to bad handling fon the part of his driver. The race was zon as follows : Frank C., D. L. Wireman, Philipsburg...1 11 Roan View, J. M. Notley, Hastings......... 522 Clark, Jas. Mahaffey, Mahaffey............... Carrie 8. F. Gutierrez, Huntingdon Joe Wilkes, Irvin Gray, Stormstown........ Charm, M. Fauble, Bellefonte.............c6’ Time 2.2214; 2:26, 2:22}4. L The racing events concluded the day’s program and it was decidedly a glorious success. There were more people on the grounds than ever before and barring the accidental running over of two little boys who happened to be on the track during a warm up there was not an accident. Neither one of them was hurt at all. Today all of the features will be carried out, together with the great free for all race. ~——In the opening game of football last Saturday the Bellefonte Academy was de- feated by the Williamsport High School boys by the score of 17 $0 0. ——The engagement of station agent R.

Carver, late of Glen Rose, Texas, has accepted a call to the pas- torate of the Milesbmg and Unionville Presbyterian churches and moved to the former place last week. He is a youn man of unusual energy and our neighbor- ing churches are to be congratulated on se- curing a pastor of such promise and elo- quence. eae ——Notwithstanding the fact that there are now more boarding students at the Bellefonte Academy than in any previous year additional students keep coming in, Daring the week two boys arrived, one from Maryland and one from Kansae, a fact in itself that shows the wide spread reputa- tion of the good advantages of the Belle. fonte institution of learning. ——Mis. Robert F. Hunter underwent a painful operation in the Habnemann hos- pital, Friday of last week., The operation, which was performed by Dr. Carl Viscber, was an entire success and we are ‘glad to say that Mrs. Hunter is now on the road to a rapid recovery and, it is to be hoped, bet- ter health than she has enjoyed for several years pass. os. ——Charles J. Taylor, superintendent of plumbing in the Huntingdon reformatory, who was brutally assaulted Jast week by one of the prisoners, is getting along splend- idly. He received two outs on the head thas required nine stitches each to sew up, and two outs that required four stitohes. Notwithstanding the hammering he got he was able to fire three shots at bis assailant as he rap, the first going through the pris- oner’s hat, the second missing and the third striking him in the thigh and bring: ing him to earth. ——Mr. Clarence Sthepek, of Philadel- phia, who generally spends a couple of months during the summer at the home of J.

They advocate the abolition of the office of county coroner. Inasmuch as inquests can be held by jus- - about the county receiving mileage and additional pay to perform work that can be done just as well, or better, at a very much less cost. There was also a strong sentiment in favor of abolishing the spriog election and selecting the municipal aod township officers at the general elec- tion in the fall. ville road about four miles east of Belle- of paralysis of the bowels at the advanced. tices there ia no need ‘of an officer to travel | RECORD BREAKING RUNS AT THE NIT- TANY FURNACE.—Aside from the selfish business interest we all take in the resump- tion at the Nittany furnace there is another feature of its new ran that is attracting the attention of those acquainted with the pos- sibilities of blast furnaces. We refer to the immensity of its daily output. The furnace produced, in. September, 3,378 tons of pig iron, which is 197 tons more than was ever produced in one month since the furnace was built. The best daily average output for one month, heretofore, was 102 6-10 tons. The daily average during September was 112 6-10 tons, or ten tons more than ever be- fore. The best previous output for a single day’s run was 116 tons. This was sur- passed ten times during September, by the following records: Sept. 6th, 117 tons; Sept. 13th, 120 tons; Sept. 17th, 121 tons; Sept. 19th, 120 tons; Sept. 21st, 123 tous; Sept. 23rd, 122 tons; Sept. 24th, 119 tons; Sept. 25th, 126 tons; Sept. 26th, 120 tons; Sept. 30th, 121 tons. While iron making is their business and part of their business is to ges all the good iron possible out of a furnace every twen- ty-four hours we cannot refrain from ex- pression of our opinion that president Noah H. Swayne II and master furnaceman George Grimm, with all hands, are demon- strating by this record-breaking run, that they must have an exceptional knowledge of the business. hei A BAD ACCIDENT.—A very bad acci- dent occurred on High street between the WATCHMAN office and the Bush house Monday morning by which Linn McGin- ley, Jr., the seven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Linon MoGinley, of Thomas street, sustained serious injury, and it was a miracle be was not killed outright. Sny- der Tate was driving down the street with his ice wagon. On the High street bridge Linn McGinley, just on his way home from school, jumped on the rear end of the wag- on and in some way missed his hold. He fell between one of the rear wheels and the bed of the wagon and in that position was carried several rods before the driver heard his screams and stopped the horses. Men ran to the boy’s assistance, but he was so tightly wedged hetween the wheel and the wagon bed that the wheel had to be loosen- ed and partially taken off before the boy could be extricated from his dangerous po- sition. He wae at once carried to the home of his parents and physicians summoned. An examination revealed a compound frac- ture of the right leg bone near the thigh, and miraculous as it may seem, with the exception of a few slight cuts and bruises, no other injury was found. The limb was set and the boy fixed up in good shape and he is getting along as well as can possibly be expected. ode WiLLiAM D. ZERBY ADMITTED TO THE BAR.—William D. Zerby, who was ad- misted to the bar on the 15th inst., is the first and only, Centre county attorney ad- | mitted under the new and rigid rules of the | Supreme court of Pennsylvania. In order | to be admitted under these rules, Mr. Zerby was compelled to study and pass an examination on the subjects ordinarily comprised in the law course and in addi- tion thereto the work of about two years in actual practice. Mr. Zerby was born in Penn township, Centre county, Pennsylvania, on the 24th day of Sept. 1876, and is therefore 28 yeas old. He received his early education in the public schools of Penn township and prepared for college at Spring Mills Acad- emy under Dr. Wolf. He graduated in the classical course at Bucknell university, in the class of 1902. During his Senior year in Bucknell, he elected the law course, -which comprises about one years work at law sobool and also a civil engineering and surveying course. During the summer of 1902, after graduation, he was engaged in engineering work by a Pittsburg firm in West Virginia, being almost entirely em- ployed in field work. Mr. Zerby is of German descent and speaks that language fluently. He is steady-going, industrious and logical. We join his many friends in wishing him the successful career his untiring ef- forts deserve. ——eee THE KARTHAUS FIRE BRICK CoMm- PANY.—Work on the foundation walls of the new fire brick plant of she Karthaus Fire Brick Co. at Karthaus, is progress. ing and it is proposed to push the erection of the buildings as rapidly as possible. The company owns several hundred aores of fire clay and coal lands and is leasing more clay land so as to be amply supplied with all the raw material needed for an extensive business. The company wisely look to the future and the projectors feel confident that they have an excellent quality of olay and coal. Having the fuel within easy reach on its own land will be a big saving and as the clay is only a short distance from where the plant is to be erected the expenses of conveying the raw material will be comparatively small. We understand that there is still some stock to be disposed of out of the $150,000 capital stock of the company. re fp fp ee ARGUMENT IN THE GREEN AND DIL- LEN CASE PosTPONED.—The regular term of October argument court began Tuesday morning. The case of Ira Green and Wil- liam Dillen, convicted in August for the killing of Jerry Condo, was called up for ument on their application for a new rial. Counsel for the prizoner: petitioned the court for a further continuance, plead- ing that they had not had sufficient time so secure all the testimony they needed and to properly prepare their briefs. The court granted an extension of time until October fokn, but Yory emphatically stated thas the case had to be argued then whether coun- sel were ready or not. | in the wake of that sixty dollar dog.

Miles, came down from his Huston township home Wednes- day morning to attend the Centre county fair.

Y., about a year ago, and since that time has been doing general work, was in Bellefonte on Friday calling on friends.

From here she went to New York and will return to Cuba with her mother for the winter where they have built, near Havana, a magnificent new home on the site of the old one burned two years ago.

A BELLEFONTE Boy WoN. — Wednes- day of last week the Peabody Institute, at Baltimore, Md., held its first pipe organ contest for a three years’ free scholarship course in instrumental music. There were ten contestants entered and among them was Fred D. Weaver, the seventeen-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Weaver, of $his place, who, we are glad to say, easily won the contest. The contestants were first heard in a performance on the piano and on this instrument Weaver excelled all the others in every point with the sin-’ gle exception of technique. Three of the best were then selected and taken to a new pipe organ that had just been installed in the institute and on this instrament Weav- er's performance far excelled that of the other two in every point, so. that the judges’ decision was unanimous for him.
