NEW LIMESTONE OPERATIONS.—The
little valley of Pleasant Gap is on the verge
of a boom that in the future may grow to
one of considerable magnitude. For ages
there has lain hidden out there a large vein
of limestone rock of superior quality.
So rich, in fact, that an analysis made re-
cently sbows the stone to be ninety-nine
per cent. pure lime. Twelve years or more
ago this fact was diecovered by John
Hinds and, although he endeavored to en-
list someone with capital to develop opera-
tions, he met with no success. In recent
years, however, since the value of lime
and limestone operations have come to be
fully appreciated various parsies bave been
endeavoring to get hold of the land along the
base of Nittany mountain on which the
ledge is located.
Oue of the parties who for several years
has been working assiduously to interest
capital for the developing of an operation
out there was Wm. Noll, of that place, who
owns a farm just west of the Gap and
through which the limestone runs. His
untiring efforts bave finally met with suc-
cess and recently, with the assistance of Mr.
Noah H. Swayne II, a company was pro-
moted who will operate under the company
name of ‘“‘Whiteroock Quarries.”” The
parties interested are Mr. Swayne, who
as promoter will have general super-
vision of the company’s affairs; John
Blanchard Esq., as secretary and treasurer
and Wm. H. Noll.
T be operation will be opened on the
Noll farm which the company has secured.
Work on the building of the plant has al-
ready begun, as Mr. Noll has now prac-
tically completed two houses and a black-
smith shop. To get at the operation ib
will be necessary to build a branch railroad
six-eighths of a mile long to connect with
the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad at a
point at the upper or southern end of
fish batchery grounds.
This branch will ran up over the Shugert
and Blue Spring lands to the Tressler and
Waite farms and thence to the Noll farm.
Mr. Thomas A. Shoemaker bas the contract
for the building of this road and, with a
force of from seventy-five to one hundred
men, will begin work on the same early
next week.
The contract has also been let for the buil-
ding of four kilns and the erection of a
crusher at once,so that the operation can he
opened up and in running order before cold
weather setsin. Mr. S. B. Finnegan, who
bas been for eighteen years with firs A. G.
Morris and. later the American Lime and
Stone company, has heen secured by the
new company and will take uharge of the
operation on September first as general
superintendent. Mr. Finnegan is a man
who bas a thorcugh knowledge of the lime
business and his association with the new
com pany is assurance of a successful opera-
tion. In addition to the Noll farm the com-
pany bas purchased the adjacent tract of
land from the Steele heirs,adjoining on the
west, so that they have scope enough to
operate on for years to come.
OTHER OPERATIONS PROJECTED.
The same range of limestone extends east
of Pleasant Gap through the farms owned
by A.V. Miller, Mary J. Valentine, Michael
Spicher, Charles Eckenroth, Wm. H. Col-
dren, J. H. Herman and others. For sev-
eral years past Mr. I. A. Schaeffer has heen
interested in a movement to secure this land
and open up extensive operations there,
He has succeeded in interesting plenty of
capital ard secured a number of options
on properties located there. In the mean-
time the Bellefonte Lime company has
secured une or more options with the resnlt
that the right to secure possession of some
of the Jand is now a matter of litigation
and until the court decides the case noth-
ing further can be done at that place. It
is to be hoped, however, that the matter
may soon be settled, favorably as the open-
ing of an operation east of Pleasant Gap
would be on an extensive scale and would
mean so much for that town.

ROBERT HENDERSHOT ARRESTED— Robt.
.Hendershot, son of David Hendershot, was
arrested, on Wednesday, and placed in jail
to await the arrival of officers to convey
him to Bloomsburg where he was wanted
on the charge of skipping a board bill and
stealing the landlady’s gold watch. Hen-
dershot had been working in Bloomsburg
and while there purloined the watch of the
woman he was boarding with then skip-
ped the town. He came home and went to
Mr. Moerschbacher with whom be pawned
the watch for three dollars. After he had
gone out Mr. Moerschbacher examined the
timepiece and decided that Hendershot bad
| not gotten it honestly so when he came
back in again he told him so and also ad-
vised him to lift it and return it’ to whom
it belonged and save bimself from cerious
trouble. Hendershot paid back $1.50 and
promised to lift the watch yesterday. In
the meantime, however, the police here bad
‘been notified and the young man was ar-
rested hefore he got out of Jesse Cox's pool
room. He was yesterday taken back to
‘Bloomsburg to face the charges against
him.

MARKETING CENTRE COUNTY'S PEACH
CROP.—When the announcement was made
a couple months ago that the Centre coun-
ty peach crop this year would be large it
was looked upon very much as a peach crop
story, hut now that the time is here when
growers bave begun to market their froit
there is no gainsaying the fact that the
orop is a good one—especially large for this
section. In fact one local dealer told the
writer thas the Centre county crop wonld
aggregate forty thousand bushels or over,
while another dealer stated that fifteen
thousand bushels wounld be the limit.
Be the orop what it may, however, it is
large enough to attract the attention of
outsiders, as ten days ago a representative
of the fruit dealer’s association came here
from Pittsburg and endeavored to buy up
all the orchards in the county. While he
made the claim when he left that he suc-
ceeded in his undertaking it has been learn-
ed positively since that he did not secure
one orchard. As stated in the WATCH-
MAN several weeks ago the Col. W. Fred
Reynolds crop was bought by Joe Diehl, of
Howard. Platt, Barber & Co., have virtu-
ally secured the orchards of Boop & Keis-
ter, at Aaronsburg, while Charles Schad, of
this place; Dr. Alexander and W. B. Min-
gle, of Centre Hall; Dum, of Mackeyville,
and all the other smaller growers in Centre
county will market their own fruit, believ-
ing they will be able to realize more out of
it by retailing out at home and selling
wholesale to local dealers than they would
to sell their entire crop wholesale for foreign
markets.
Some of the early fruit is already being
marketed. One Johnstown dealer has ne-
gotiated with Joe Diehl for two thousand
bushels of peaches from the Reynolds or-
chard, the first consignment of fifty bush-
els being shipped to him on Tuesday.
Owing to the indiscriminate marketing of
the fruit there has as yet been no set price
named, but the best peaches can now be
bought at about one dollar a bushel. The
price is expected to he lower as the season
advances.

cess and after three seasons of Macbeth he

tragedy, ‘‘King Richard the Third,”’—a

tellectual nature will revel. His manage-

THE Bic BusiNEss MEN’S PICNIC.—
The Centre and Clinton county business
men’s picnic, on Tuesday, was one of the
biggest and best ever held. Business was
practically suspended by the merchants and
others in both counties and everybody turn-
ed out fora day's relaxation and pleasure
mid tbe beautiful environments of Hecla
park. Not only was every train to the
park on the Central Railroad of Pennsylva-
nia crowded bus thousands came in vehic-
les and every other kind of conveyance.
The crowd has been variously estimated at
from six to twelve thousand, but conserva-
tively speaking there were just about eight
thousand people on the ground. The rail-
road company hauled a few over six thous-
and people. Of this number 2415 tickets
were sold at the Bellefonte station, over
two hundred more than last year; and 1827
tickets were sold at Mill Hall, about one
hundred more than lass year.
All the day up until 5 o'clock was an
ideal one for a picnio and the big crowd
present seemed to care for nothing more to
do than lounge around and exchange social
greetings, many of those present not having
met since last year’s gathering. Both the
Coleville and Lockport bands were present
and these enlivened the morning somewhat
with concerts in the grove and at the pavil-
ion. The principal diversion of the fore-
noon was a game of ball between a picked
nine from Centre county and one from Clin-
ton county, the latter winning the game by
‘the score of 7 to 4.
Of course the dinner hour was not only a
delightful but a very busy one. Most of
the people present had with them well-fill-
ed baskets and for tHose that hadn’t there
was ample to eat at the various stands and
eating houses.
Immediately after dinner the clay pigeon
shoot was held. The competition was be-
tween three teams of four each, Lock Ha-
ven, Snow Shoe and Bellefonte. Twenty-
five targets was the allotment for each man
and the prize offered was a double-barrell
Stevens shot gun. Two traps were used
and Snow Shoe came off victorious with the
score as follows:
Snow SHOE :—
Watson...
Warfield.
Perhaps the most interesting event of the
day was the game of base ball between San-
bury and Mt. Carmel. The sympathy of
the crowd was with the former team owing
to a number of its members being former
State College players, but the Mt. Carmel
team won the game in a very close and ex-
citing contest. The score

In addition to the above the other diver-
sions of the day were the dancing in the
pavilion to the music of the Germania
orchestra, of Lock Haven, and playing
the games of chance, of which there
were about a dozen, by the more daring
ones. Thus the time passed until about 5
o'clock in the evening when a heavy rain
began to fall which somewhat dampened
the ardor of everybody and sent them
sourrying for home as fast as the trains
could carry them. Owing to the rain the
consolidated band concert and the fire-
works in the evening were dispensed with.
Had it not been for the rain the day would
have ended as successfully ag it begun.
The Central Railroad of Pennsylvania of-
ficials are to be congratulated on the very
efficient service they rendered. Trains
were not only run at intervals frequent |:
| enough to suit everybody but were on.
nearly on schedule time;
and every train
was officered with a crowd of very courteous
trainmen.

ALMOST SNEEZED HERSELF TO DEATH.
—Miss Mary Raymond, the sixteen-year-

Jersey Shore, this summer. Last Wednes-
day evening at 7 o’clock she was seized

two doctors worked with her all nighs.
Thursday morning the was still sneezing,
the doctors being unable to do anything
for her. She grew very weak. dnd the.
muscles of her body became fixed and rigid
but the sneezing. continued until 2 .o’clock
in the afternoon when the attack stopped |
as suddenly as it began, after a contin-
nation of nineteen hours. Miss Raymond’s
condition was quite serious for several days
but word from Jersey Shore this week is
in effect that she is row improving and
{ will soon be as well as ever. The physicians
are at a loss how to account for the pecul-
iar attack.

of people were present and, while there was
no angry or antagonistic sentiment against
automobiles displayed there was a feeling
among all that something shonld be done,
inasmuch as there are many complaints
about the fast and sometimes reckless
speeding of antomohiles on the streets of
Bellefonte as well as around short turns on
the 10adways through the county, :
After the matter had been fully iiscussed
Mr. Chambers volunteered to lay the mat-
ter before the borough council, which was
then in session. Accordingly he went be-
fore that body and explained to them the
law governing the running of antomobiles
as laid down in the act of 1903, which
makes 1t the duty of the police in the hor-
oughs and constables in the townships to
arrest every ownerand driver of an auto-
mobile who is running his machine at a
speed exceeding eight miles in the borough
or twenty miles in the township, or who
bas not in every other way complied with
the regulations of the law. Council heard
Mr. Chambers through bus took no action
on the matter at that time.
The act of 1903 provides that every own-
er of an automobile shall register with the
prothonotary of said county, who shall is-
sue to him a certificate of registry which
shall be so fixed at some convenient place
upon said machine that it can be plainly
and readily seen by all. That he shail also
bave a license issued by the treasury of
any county in the Commonwealth and that
he shall exhibit on his machine two white
lights in front and one red light in the
rear, in addition to the speed limit regula-
tions.
