In order to secure absolute accuracy in the names and spelling thereof on our sols diers’ monument, we will publish from time to time the lists of certain companies 80 as to enable those who are interested to suggest changes in initials or spelling, and also to suggest the names of any persons who may bave been omitted from the rolls. This is the last opportunity which will be given to our people and to the survivors or friends of deceased soldiers who served from Centre county to have these names correct- ed. The Committee, therefore, appeals very earnestly to all who are interested in the subject to carefally scar all the names to ascertain. 1st, whether any have heen omitted ; and 2nd, whether the names of those already contained iu the rolls are properly spelled.

Under the most auspicious circam- etances the Bellefonte Academy concluded the celebration of its centennial auvniver- sary, last Friday. When the WATCHMAN went to press last Thursday night the Academy tea and reception was in full swing and so well was it attended that is kept up until late in the night. Friday forenoon was devoted to showing the many visitors the main points of in- terest in and around the town, while a number took advantage of the opportunity to vieit the Bellefoute fish hatchery. The centennial exercises were held in the opera house, Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Considering the time of day the meeting was well attended. Music was furnished by the Stopper and Fisk orches- tra. General James A. Beaver, chairman of the Centennial committee, presided and made the introductory address in which he very briefly told of some of the early strog- gles of the institution, congratulated the Academy on its growth, present high standing and the staunch supporters it has in the people of Bellefonte and old student body, and paid a glowing tribute to the worth and ability of its present head, Rev. James P. Hughes, principal emeritus, and James R. Hughes, head master. Following General Beaver’s opening re- ‘| marks he introduced J. Thomas Mitchell Esq., of Bellefonte, who read a well and carefully prepared historical sketch of the Academy from its organization up to the present time. (Mr Mitchell’s address will be found on page 2, of today’s WATCH- MAN.) The second speaker introduced was Dr. George W. Atherton, of the Pennsylvania State College, who talked on ‘‘Education Under State Control.”” In his opening re- marks Dr. Atherton referred tothe time quite a number of years ago when he and the Hon. Charles Emory Smith, of Phila: delphia, taught school together in an Academy in one of the New England and was listened to with great interest. The last speaker introduced, and in fact the orator of the day, was Hon. Charles Emory Smith, of Philadelphia,former Post- master General under President McKin- ley. His subject was ‘“The Academy as an Independent Factor in Education,’ and though his address was quite long it was 80 brilliant and effective that there was not one in the awdience but regret- ted it when the speaker closed. Going back hundreds of years the speaker be- gan by telling of the educational facilities of Rome. There the common: sohools were the equal of our academies 'of today and 80 thorough was the work of educating the young that it was considered gross ig- norance t0 misspell or mispronounce a: word. Coming down to the presentday academies and the ellefonte Academy in particular be glowingly portrayed the good work they were doing, paying a worthy tribute to the local institution on having weathered the storms of the past century to stand as it does now well up on the ladder of success. He showed that while the State is taking very good care of the common schools higher education was largely left to voluntary and independent effort, and thus the Academy becomes the vastly important educational factor it is, being the ‘‘vestibule of the big colleges and universities.”” He declared that it is the glory of the educ ated clase that its culture bas not impaired its patriotism,citing many instances of college men who have ren- dered notable service in national, state or public affairs. The speaker closed with the wish that as the nation is entering up- on a new pathway American scholarship might never lack faith in the efficacy of American institutions or the virtue of the American people. At the close of Mr. Smith’s address an impromptu reception was tendered ‘him in the operahouse, many taking advantage of the op- portunity to meet she distinguished gentle- man. The centennial was brought to a close Friday evening by the Gold and White as- sembly in the armory. This was the really fashionable part of the whole oc- casion, numerous out-of-town guests being present. The armory bad been transformed into a perfect bower of beauty and com- fort. The list of hostesses included many of the prominent women of the town, The Stopper and Fisk orchestra furnished the music and dancing was kept up until well into the morning hours. ‘The refresh- ments served daring the evening were eby Ceader. And thus closed not only the one-hun- dredth year of its existence but also the 1904-5 school year of the Bellefonte Acad- emy. Though fully three fourths of its existence was through rough and stormy roads it fought manfully on, always ably supported by the public spiritedness of Dr. Atherton’s adddress was re- plete with good points and wise sayings’ LiraLE. — The death of Miss Bessie Lingle, eldest daughter of Mr. aud Mrs, W. C. Lingle of Patton, came as a sudden shock to her mauy relatives and friends in this place who had hoped that the treat- ment she was undergoing in a private sanitorium, at Philadelphia, would at least prolong her life, if not effect a cure. Miss Lingle had been a sufferer for more than three years with what the doctors thought was a bronchial trouble and it was only a short time prior to ber death, which oc- curred at 1 o'clock last Thursday afternoon, that they were forced to admit that she was suffering with tuberculosis. Several weeks ago she was taken to Philadelphia and ad- mitted to a private eanitorium for special treatment but the disease bad already progressed beyond the reach of all human aid. Deceased was a most charming young woman with a large acquaintance of loving friends who deeply deplore her untimely end. She was born at Hontzdale, and was thirty-three years of age. In addition to her parents she is survived by two sisters and two brothers, namely : Mrs. H. W. Todd, of Philipsburg; Miss Virginia, Harvey and Joseph, at home. The remains were brought to Bellefonte from Philadelphia, last Friday morning, and taken to the home of her uncle, Mr. W. W. Montgomery, whence the fun- eral took place at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. The services were in charge of Rev. Francis J. Clerc, of Philipsburg, assisted by Rev. George Israel Brown, of this place. Interment was made in the Union cemetery, the pall-bearers being J. L. Montgomery, Fred Montgomery, Harold B. Lingle and Edwin F. Garman.

Baltimore, Md., June 19.—By far the worst wreck in the history of the West- orn Maryland railroad occurred at e point about a quarter of a mile from Patapsco, a small station between Westminster and Finksburg. Twenty- five persons were killed and a score more injured. : Those taken from the wreck dead and who have since died of their in- juries are: George B. Covéll, engineer; John St. Leger, fireman; Fireman Knipple, Fireman McNanamee, Fire- man Stott, all of Baltimore; John Crouse, eingineer, Taneytown, Md.; D, D. Rise, engineer, Hagerstown; V. O.

Shupe, George Stimmel, all railroad laborers, of Thurmont, Md.; Joseph Stitely, Catoctin, Md.; Daniel Meyers, Highfield, Md.; Calvin Ben- ner, Catoctin, Md.; Edward Martin, Thurmont, Md. : The injured, some of whom will die, include: Elmer Miller, Columbus Wil- liar, George Stimmel, Charles Grabill, William Shuff, Calvin Benner, Thomas Hahn, John Whitmore, John Davis, E. Fuss, Wm. Sweeney and Milton Stam- baugh, all of Thurmont; D. Myers, Highfield; Peter Freber, Union Bridge; Ed Diebert, employe Union News com- pany; W. Zeigler, employe Union News company; C. D. Miller, postal clerk, Hagerstown; B. Frank Tierney, ex- press messenger, Hagerstown. Passenger train No. 5, west-bound, was running at a very high rate of speed when at the point named it crashed into a double-header freight running east. All three of the engines were reduced to scrap irom, the ex- press and baggage cars of the pas- senger trains were smashed and a num- ber ‘of the freight cars were splintered. The passenger coaches sustained little injury and almost without exception their occupants escaped with nothing worse than a bad shaking up. The fa- talities and injuries were to the crews of the engines and to workmen em- ployed by the railroad company. It is a remarkable coincidence that these latter should have been at work re- pairing the damages caused by a re- cent small freight wreck that occurred at Mount Hope station, near this city. They were on their way to their homes in small towns along the Western Maryland to spend Sunday. The disaster seems to have been the fault of those in charge of the freight. the Patapsco river is crossed. The passenger train was running at a speed of at least 3 iles an hour, and the freight, an eXtra, made up chiefly of “heavy coal cars, was also Tunning rapidly.

Running Raised Stock Certificates. ; Sensational Case of Forgery [Comes to Light In Philadelphia, Banks Lose Nearly $7,000,000. { " " ’ Philadelphia, June 21.—One of the most sensational cases of forgery that has ever been brought to light in the financial circles of this city was die- closed when it was announced that cer- tificates calling’ for small numbers of shares of stock had been frauflulently raised to hundreds of shares, causing - & loss to certain banks and trust com- panies of this city of from $750,000 to $1,000,000. The forgery involves the name of Benjamin H. Gaskill, who went to his grave four weeks ago. Gas- kill wes the sole member of the bank- ing and brokerage concern known as Benjamin #H. Gaskill & Co. He had offices in the financial district and his credit was considered gilt edge. Gaskill died about four weeks ago, and at the time of his death he was be- lieved to be worth about $500,000. He left no will, and administrators began to close up his business. A patron of the firm, whose name is not given, bought from the estate 100 shares of Philadelphia Traction company stock. He turned his account over to E. C. Miller & Co., which firm sent the 100 shares of Traction stock to the Phila- delphia Traction company’s office to have the transfer recorded. The eertifi- cate did not agree with the company’s books, and an investigation showed that the certificate had been raised from six shares to 100. The discovery was reported ‘to E.- C. Miller & Co., which firm immediately “notified the stock exchange, of which Gaskill was a member, which in turn sent out no- tices to its members not to receive stock certificates from the Gaskill es- tate, A further Investigation brought to light a surprising state of affairs, It was found that Gaskill had credited himself on his own books with 6000 shares of Philadelphia Traction stock, valued at approximately $600,000, while the Traction company’s books showed that he had only 400 shares. It was also discovered that he had raised stock certificates of the United Rail- ways Company of New Jersey from two to 200, and the certificates of the Frankford and Southwark Street Rail- way company, of this city, from two to 20. The latter stock is worth $450 ‘a share. 2 Gaskill kept two accounts—one re- ‘cording the transactions of his custo- mers, which was correct, and another giving his own transactions. His books showed that he was losing from $15,000 to $25,000 a year in his business. His method of operations was to obtain certificates of gilt-edge securities call- ing for one, two, three or some other small number of shares, raise the fig- ures and give them as securities for large loans. At least six banks and trust companies of this city admit holding fraudulent securities for large loans: Not one of the institutions will make public the amount of money they advanced, but a financier who has been making an investigation said that the amount of money loaned on the raised , certificates will aggregate be- tween $750,000 and $1,000,000. It is be- lieved that very little will be ‘recovered from the estate. when he dled, and was a ‘high, liver.
