feet wide in the clear. . When down it will
be even a better walk than} the patent
pavement along north Water street. As
fast as the stone are put down by Mr.
Johnson and his crew an iron railing is
CLOSE OF THE BIG FAIR.—Centre coun-
ty’s big fair closed last Friday with a good
crowd in attendance. The day was a fine
one and for once the managers of the fair
had no cause to complain, either on account
of the weather or the crowd. Every feat-
ure of the fair was, if anything, superior
to what it was advertised to be, and the
last day’s races were the most exciting of
the week. It was the expectation to be
able to publish in the WATCHMAN this
week a full list of all the exhibits with all
the names of the premium winners, but
the list isso long that the people who have
the matter in charge have not yet complet-
ed it in full. Next week, however, the
WATCHMAN will have the list and, if youn
had anything on exhibition, look it over
carefully and see if you got a premium.
If you did, and it has not yet been paid
you, the fair managers request us to say
that it will be paid promptly upon appli-
cation. Friday’s races were as follows :
2:27 TROT AND PACE.
In this race there were four starters but
in the first heat Dr. Jones’ Ben H. went off
his feet and his driver could not recover
him in time to get him inside the distance
flag when the others passed under the wire.
This left but three in the field and of these
Datch was an easy winner in straight
heats, as follows.
Dutch, Davis Wise, Minersville............... 11
Village Boy, W. V. Larimer, Bellefonte...3 2 2
Majoretta, Irvin Gray, Stormstown..........2 3 3
Time,'2:2714: 2:28; 2:27.
THE GREAT FREE FUR ALL.
But of all the races of the week it was
the great free-for-all that proved the most
exciting. Five horses started in this race
w ith Sallie Derby the favorite, although
the horsemen gave out that Will Leyburn
would be an easy winner. In this, how-
ever, they were mistaken. Highwood
Spider took the first heat and Sallie Derby
was forced under the wire first in the
second heat. The third was taken by Ada
D. and the fourth by Woodshine. This
gave four horses one heat each and before
the tield could get out for the fifth heat
the sun went down and Starter Frank
Smith declared the race ended in accord-
ance with the new rules of the National
Trotting association, which provide that on
th e last day of a meet no race shall he run
after sundown and that if the race is not
ended the purse shall be divided among
th e horses standing first, second, third and
fou rth when the race is declared closed.
This decision of Starter Smith caused some
d issatisfaction among the horsemen, who
wa uted to finish the race on Saturday, but
S mith’s decree was law. The starters in
the race and the fonr money-winners in
one, two, three order were as follows :
Highwood Spider, E. J. Middagh, Pat-

CONDUCTOR SNYDER ASSAULTED.—Con-
ductor William Snyder, of the Tyrone
division, was’ brutally assaulted Saturday
evening, while making his south-bound
run over the Tyrone and Clearfield rail-
road, by a gang of five men from the steel
works at Hyde City, near Clearfield. The
men, somewhat under the influence of
liquor, boarded the train without tickets.
When the conductor came along one of the
men, John McClure, banded him a ten
dollar bill. The conductor told them he
did not bave the change but would ges it
in a few minutes when McClure at once
attacked the conductor. Snyder was get-
ting the best of his man when the other
men in the party joined in. Together they
g ot conductor Snyder down in the aisle of
the car and hammered him pretty badly.
A message was sent to Philipsburg to have
officers on hand when the train arrived but
at Woodland ove of the gang, William
Mapestone, jumped from the train while
MecClare jum ped off just as the train was
pulling into Philipsburg and both made
their escape. The other three, Thomas
Powell, Raymond Miller and Pat Mec-
Queeny were arrested when the train
reached Philipsburg. They were locked
up until Monday morning when they were
given a hearing before Justice M. S. Adams
who held them in $500 bail each for their
appearance at court. Conductor Snyder,
though very badly used up, is able to be
around.
REUNION 22ND PA. Von. Cav. Posr-
PONED.—The annual reunion of survivors
of 220d Pa. Vol. Cav. was to be held this
year October 21st at Mapleton, Hunting-
don county, Pa., M. L. Rex, of Co. I, be-
ing president for the year. Comrade Rex
bas had so much sickness in his family
that he could not make such arrangements
for entertaining the visitors as he desired,
and because of this, and because of the
epidemic of scarlet fever prevailing in
Mapleton, it has been decided to have no
reunion this year. A reunion will be ar-
ranged for next year, to be held probably
at Mapleton, of which due notice will be
given.
*oe
WE LOSE SOMETHING MORE.—The clos-
ing, even temporarily, of the Reeder home
means the loss to us of perhaps the mos$
delightful entertainments ever given in
town and the’ removal from the social
world of a host and hostess who knew how
to be so charming and gracious that the
pleasure of this alone is cause for selfish
regret in its passing. The beautifal homes
as well as the distinguished people have
given us our prestige and juss as the death
of Col. Reeder was a great loss, so is the
closing of his handsome home.
Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Reeder went to
the Brockerhoff house this week where
put up by Supt. SamueljRine and his men.
they will spend the winter.

——Mrs. E. K. Noll, of Clearfield, on
Monday went to Madisonburg with the
corpse of her 5 months old infant son,
whose body was interred in the Madison-
burg cemetery. Mrs. Noll, although gnite
a young womab, has had a large share of
trouble. Just about one year ago her
husband was killed on a saw mill by being
struck in the stomach with a flying board
while at his work, and now comes this sec-
ond bereavement.

——Mr. J. H. Eskridge, of Philipsburg,
the hustling agent of the Equitable life in-
suiance company, of New York, is proud
once again. We say ‘‘once again’’ because
it is of such frequent occurrence that Mr.
Eskridge has reason to feel proud over the
prize trophies he receives from his com-
pany as testimonials to his worth as an
agent. This time it isa brace of hand-
some silver cups, given for the largest num-
ber of lives insured and the largest amount
of insurance written during the month of
July. The cups are beauties and are now
displayed in the show window offCrissman
& Brown.
SHE SHOT To HIT.—-Constable Henry
Montgomery, of this place, bad a narrow es-
cape on Wednesday morning and as it is he
is now nursing a couple of sore fingers, the
result of a revolver shot fired by a woman.
For some years past the Bellefonte Central
railroad company has had the water right
on the old Fabian Matz farm in Buffalo
Run valley. Sometime ago the farm was
purchased by Mrs. Mary Reed, widow of
the late William Reed. Eyer since she has
been in possession of the place Mrs. Reed
has disputed the railroad company’s right
to the water. Of late, however, she be-
came decidedly aggressive in her endeavor
to oust the company from its rights and
last Saturday she went so far as to hit one
of the company’s employes with a stick.
Tuesday when the men were taking water
as usual Mrs. Reed came out and, poing-
ing a revolver at them, threatened to shoot
if they did not at once leave. This was
carrying matters a little too far and Tues-
day afternoon superintendent F. H. Thomas
swore out a warrant for the woman’s ar-
rest on the criminal charge of pointing a
revolver and threats. Wednesday morn-
ing constable Montgomery went np on the
train to serve the warrant. He found the
woman outside and read the warrant to
her and she made no demonstration of any
kind bat asked him to come into the house
so that she could sign a bail bond. On
arriving at the house the front door was
found locked and Mrs. Reed requested Mr.
Montgomery to wait there until she went
around and in the rear way to unlock the
door. The constable waited, and would
likely be there yet if he had waited for
Mrs. Reed to open the door as she not only
did not unlock the front door but locked
the rear door leaving Constable Mont-
gomery out in the cold. To be thus hood-
winked aroused the ire of the congtable and
he forced an entrance by pushing the front
door open. When he entered the house
Mrs. Reed was just coming down the stairs
with a revolver in her hand and she at
once began to shoo, firing four shots, three
of which went wide of the mark and the
fourth passing between the first and
second finger of Mr. Montgomery’s left
band, cutting the flesh on one finger but
fortunately, nos breaking any bones. Mr.
Montgomery did not retreat, but sprang
for the woman and took the revolver from
her, after which he finished the official
business sh at took him there. Mrs. Reed
is under $300 bail for her appearance at a
hearing before ’Squire Keichline tomor-
row, at which time she will likely be again
put under arrest on a warrant sworn out
by Mr. Montgomery.
STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE IN SEs:
sION.—The State board of agriculture, in
its regular fall meeting and normal farm-
ers’ institute, convened in the court house,
Bellefonte, at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morn-
ing. . The opening session was presided
over by vice president of the beard, Jason
Sexton, of North Wales. The roll call and
minutes of the previous meeting were read
by secretary N. B. Critchfield, of Harris-
burg. At Tuesday afternoon’s session the
address of welcome was delivered by Col.
James P. Coburn, in place of Gen. Beaver
who was unable to he present. Deputy
secretary A. L. Martin made the response.
At Tuesday evening’s session Hon. John
Hamilton made an address on ‘‘Normal
‘schools of agriculture for institute work-
ers’’ which was characterized as one of the
best deliverances of the week. Wednes-
day’s and yesterday’s sessions were held at
State College, the delegates going up each
morning at 8:15 o’clock on a special train
over the Bellefonte Central railroad, re-
turning in time for supper and the evening
sessions in the court house here. Ahout
one hundred and twenty-five delegates are
present and the exercises of the past three
days have heen almost identical with the
program published in the WATCHMAN last
week. 5

Ler Us BE GENEROUS FOR OUR OWN
IMPROVEMENT.—Pheenix-like there is ris-
ing from the ashes, a beautiful new-old
Academy building that pleases architec-
turally and intelluctnally and is a fitting
crown for the most conspicuous spot in
town. Since Mr. Hughes and the trustees
have given to the town a structure that is
such an improvement what more fitting
than that the town should contribute
suitable surroundings. There are hundreds
of men and women proud to claim the old
academy as sheiralma mater and if each
were to contribute even a small sum im-
provements, as great in the grounds as in
the building, would be possible. If a
movement toward this end were started
and the alumni and every citizen in town
became interested and contributed his or
her mite, we would see the grounds terraced
and covered with grass and beautiful flow-
ers and what would be more of an improve-
ment to the town than to have the hill
facing the Big Spring brought under the
skill of a landscape gardener. Let us start
a public subscription, print the names of
contributors from twenty-five cents up and
see the fund grow to a thousand dollars.

MINERS ON A STRIKE.—All the miners
of the Lehigh Valley Coal company in their
operations in the Snow Shoe region went
out on a strike on Wednesday. For some
time past there has been trouble brewing
because the superintendent insisted on
baving the high coal mined by the car in-
stead of by the pound, and this trouble was
precipitated into a general strike on Wed-
nesday because of the discharge of one
man. At this writing no indication of a
settlement of the question and a return to
work of the miners is in sight.

days when he was actively interested in Rush
township school affairs, was in town on. Friday
taking in the fair and shaking hands with his

Wilkinsburg, with a party of friends will spend
the month of November in and along the Nittany
mountains where Mr. Bell takes his “annual
outing” in the way of hunting for wild turkeys,
and other small game. They will find a warm
welcome awaiting them from their hosts of
friends hereabouts.
—Business required the presence of Harry
Keller in Harrisburg Wednesday and Thursday.
Had the business not been so urgent he would
have been one of the party of ‘‘distinguished vis=
itors” to the Bloomsburg fair, for we do not al-
ways appreciate how great we are until exploited
in the newspapers. Anyone to read the Blooms-
burg Sentinel of Wednesday will realize there
are yet notables in Bellefonte appreciated abroad,
if not at home.
—Mrs. Walter B. McCaskey, nee Edna Me-
Clelland, who has a number of friends in Belle-

21st U.S. Inf, of Ft. Snelling. Mrs. Kitts will
be remembered as Miss Annie Dunkle, of Beech
Creek and Jersey Shore. 4
—Mr. M. I. Gardner spent several days in Phila-
delphia this week transacting business in rela-
tion to the Nittany valley railroad. "Those who
see Mr. Gardner at his desk in the prothonotary’s
office would not suspect that he was the general
superintendent and manager of an entire railroad
system, but such is the case and it was for the
purpose of making a general report on the condi-
tion of the road he superintends, as wellas to
draw his salary we presume, that took Mr.
Garden to the Quaker City.
—Mr. George G. tiutchison, of Warriorsmark,
is one of the delegates to the State board of agri-
culture meeting in session here and at State Col-
lege this week, and the very first morning of his
arrival he favored this office with a call—just for
a reminiscent chat. By the way, it may not be
generally known, but Mr. Hutchison was the
first delegate elected in the State to the Republi-
can convention which nominated Gen. Beaver for
Governor in 1882. And whether it is because of
that or for some other reason Mr. Hulchison has
ever since managed to stand in with the political
powers that be.
—Mrs. George Beezer and her son, Herbert,
with Miss Lose, went Tuesday evening to Phila-
delphia and Atlantic City for a ten day's stay.
While in Atlantic City they will be guests at
Hall's cottage, which is rapidly coming to be one
of the most popular in that place and deservedly,
for nothing is lacking to make it most attractive
and comfortable. No foreign chef could vie with
Mrs. Hall in serving toothsome viands and after
all that is what makes the reputation of a place,
especially at the shore where the appetite is so
keen. Evidence of Mrs. Hall's success is the
fact that she has had to lease a much larger cot.
tage in order to accommodate the guests for the
coming season.
—Sinus W. Stamm, of Parvin, was in town yes-
terday attending to a little business, part of
which was to make arrangements for his sale on

—Miss Elizabeth Blanchard went to Philadel-
phia this week to resume her work there, an
earlier return being delayed on account of her
health,
—Cap’t. C. T. Fryberger and son, Mr. John
Fryberger, of Philipsburg, were in Bellefonte
yesterday attending the funeral of the late Geo.
Campbell. They returned home on the 4:44 train.
—John Spearly, who is farming the No. I
Reynolds farm, was in town yesterday, suffering
with a bad cold. John isn’t as frequent a visitor
as he was when employed at Wagner's mill, bu
he is one of the kind of fellows who is always
very welcome.
—The Misses Anne and Christena Blanchard,
of Chicago, arrived Monday to spend several
weeks with friends at their old home here. To-
morrow their brother Frederick will be here to
join a hunting party that expects to spend a
week at the “House of Lords” gunning for
pheasants and divers other birds that may be
sailing round up there on Nittany. In the party
will be Edmund Blanchard. H. C. Quigley, Edgar
Burnside, Edward L. Hoy, H. S. Ray, Tom
Beaver and a few other old cronies who have an-
nually contributed to the success of this outing.
—Jesse Briggs Churchill and Harry P. Wood,
instructors from State, were wandering about the
streets of Bellefonte yesterday, with avowedly
nothing to do, but,no doubt,down to see the latest
displays in the haberdashers for what man from
the chemistry or electrical engineering depart-
ments would acknowledge to “nothing to do”
unless to divert suspicion. Itsurely was not to
get political tips as they would not even look at
the Parker picture in the Warcmyan window for
fear their strenuous Republicanism might be
dissipated by a safe and sane Democratic conver-
sion.

cently received a very nice order from the
Marlin Fire Arms company,of New Haven,
Conn., for two car loads of walnut gun
gtocks. This will be the first order of the
kind ever gotten out by Messrs. Crider &
Son and if it proves satisfactory, and there

this will give a better home market for the
walnut timber in this county.
