made more so by the elaborate turkey
dinner served which was partaken of by
about twenty-five invited guests, not
counting those who did the butchering. It
is needless to say that all present enjoyed
the repast to the very limit.
PASTORAL RELATION DISSOLVED. —A
special session of the Huntingdon Presby-
tery was held in the Presbyterian church
here, at 2.10 o'clock Monday afternoon,
for the purpose of dissolving the pastoral
relations existing between Rev. Dr. Wil-
liam Laurie, D. D., LL. D., and the Belle-
fonte Presbyterian church. The session
was opened with prayer by the moderator
with the following ministers present:JWil-
liam Laurie, D. D., LL. D., Richard Crit-
tenden, James P. Hughes, A. S. Carver,
G. T. Gunter, William Jack, Ph. D., J. E.
Irvine, Ph. D., W. H. Schuyler, Ph. D.,
W. K. Harnish, R. G. Williams and H.
W. Koehler.
The following elders were present:
Frank McCoy, Bellefonte; T. A. Appleby,
Mount Union, and George Noll, Miles-
burg.
The following were, on motion of Dr.
Laurie, introduced and invited to sit as
corresponding members: Rev. J. A. Wood,
of the Central Pennsylvania conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church; Rev. A.
M. Schmidt, of the Eastern synod of the
Reformed church; Rev. A. Davidson, of
the Allegheny conference of the United
Brethren church; Rev. W. B. Cox, cf the
Central Pennsylvania conference, United
Evangelical church; Rev. G. I. Browne, of
the diocese of Harrisburg, Protestant Epis-
copal church.
The call for this meeting was issued by
the moderator in accordance with chapter
X, section 10,0f the form of government to
dissolve the pastoral relations between the
Rev. William Laurie, D. D. LL. D., and
Bellefonte church, and to do any other
needful business connected with same.
Dr. Laurie requested to be released from
the church of Bellefonte, giving his reasons
for the same. Commissioners James Harris
and J.L. Spangler reported that the church
bad consented to the release of its pastor
and Mr. Charles M.McCuardy, the lay com-
missioner from the congregation, read the
minutes of the comgregational meeting
together with the resolutions passed. After
due consideration and expressions of regret
for the action and esteem for the man by
his fellow members of the presbytery, Revs.
W. H. Schuyler, J. E. Irvine, R. G. Wil-
liams, W. XK. Harnish, R. N. Crittenden
W. M. Jack, G. T. Gunter and Elder Ap-
pleby and Rev. A. M. Schmidt, for the
ministerial association of Bellefonte, the
request was granted, tbe dissolution to
take effect December 31st, 1905. On motion
Dr. Laurie was authorized to declare the
pulpit vaca nt on the last Sabbath of this
year.
The stated clerk was authorized to grant
a letter of dismissal to Dr. Laurie to au-
other presbytery should he so desire it be-
fore next stated meeting.
The Bellefonte church was given per-
mission to supply its pulpit until the next
meeting of the presbytery in April, 1906.
The minutes were then read and approved
after which presbytery adjourned with
prayer.
In connection with Dr. Laurie’s resig-
nation as pastor of the Bellefonte Preshy-
terian church it is only fair to the congre-
gation to state that they have acted very
generous and raised the sum of four thous-
and dollars which will be given Dr. Laurie
as a gratuity at the close of his ministerial
work in the church.

KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.—William
H. Welch, a freight brakeman employed
on the Tyrone and Clearfield branch of the
Pennsylvania railroad, was the victim of
an accident at the Summit, about three
o’clock Wednesday afternoon, which re-
sulted in bis death at the Altoona hospital
at 7:15 the same evening.
Welch was a member of a crew which
were hauling a train over the Tyrone and
Clearfield division and which had stopped
at the Summit to do some shifting. He
was riding a car back of the engine and
while putting on a brake the shaft broke
and he,was thrown from the car to the
track and bad his left leg crushed to the
hip. He also sustained a number of body
abrasions and bruices. He was taken to
the surgical room at the Tyrone station
where he was attended by Dr. J. M. Gem-
mil, who advised his removal to the Al-
toona hospital. He reached the hospital
about 5 o'clock and an examination show-
ed that amputation of the crushed leg was
necessary. The operation was performed
as soon as possible and shortly after the leg
had been taken off Welch passed away.
William H. Welch was a son of Robert
and Elizabeth Welch, of Vail, a suburb of
Tyrone, was born at Fowler, Centre coun-
ty, and was aged about 29 years. He had
been railroading for several years and was
well known and respected by all who knew
him. He was a member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen and the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Relief association. He is survived by
his wife and three children. He is also
survived by his parents and the following
brothers and sisters: F.T., of East Al-
toona; Charles and Joseph, of Tyrone;Mrs.
Dora Woomer, of Tyrone, and Thomas and
Agnes, at home. The remains were taken
to Tyrone for interment.

on the unsuspecting public and boomed in
a way that led some to think that for once
there might be something doing in both di-
rections, but for weeks now not a word has
been heard of either and there is only one
conclusion to draw, and that is the usual
one, that the bottom has dropped out of
hoth projects.

would live to enjoy many more birthday
anniversaries and that they might come
about once a week.

STRAY SHOTS ON THE HUNTING SEA-
SON.——The hunting season closed one week
ago yesterday and all the deer honters
have returned home—many of them empty-
banded and most of them with but little
game to their credit. Whether it was the
shortness of the season or whatever the
cause the number of deer killed this season
in Centre county, was far below that of
any season in past vears. Last [vear the
estimated number brought in by Centre
county hunters in the four weeks of the
open season wae from one handred to one
hundred and twenty-five. This year the
number did not exceed fifty and it isa
question, if there was an accurate count, if
it would aggregate forty deer killed within
the confines of Centre county. Of course
the very dry weather rendered the season a
very unfavorable one, but then on a fairly
acourate estimate there were fiftren hun-
dred or more hunters out during most of
the two weeks of the open season and with
this unusual number of shots in the woods
it would seem almost impossible for a deer
to escape. So far as we have been able to
get them reports from the various hunting
pérties and individoals are as follows:
The Panthers of this place, no deer; the
Roosevelt club, of Ferguson township,
| three deer; the Modocs, of Harris, three
deer; the Homan’s, of Ferguson and Col-
lege, one deer; the Riley party, of Boals-
burg, three deer; Mr Smith, of Shingle-
| town, one deer; the Jacksonville club, one
deer, shot by M. S. Betz and a bear shot
by David Kreager; the Hess party, of
Philipsburg, two deer shot on Six Mile
run; the Klondyke club, of Tyrone, one
deer shot near Sandy Ridge; J. W. Hauser,
of Altoona, a 200 pound buck, shot on Six
Mile run; the Blue Ribbon of Boggs town-
ship, one deer; the Bob Mann party, three
deer; the Pine Glen party, one deer; the
Rolly boys, of Karthaus, four deer.
The Gentzel party, two deer; Penn Hall
party, one deer; the Bradfords, one deer
and three bear; Clayton Vonada, of Wood-
ward, one deer; a party from Union coun-
ty, two deer; a Coatesville party, one deer;
Millheim party, one deer; Samuel Kerstet-
ter, of Union county, four deer; Port Royal
party, two deer; the Sober party, two deer;
Sugar valley hunters, three deer; Irvin
Zettle and A. F. Mock, of Gregg township,
each one deer; the Fye party from Moshan-
non, three deer and a bear; the Grove—
Fleming party, three deer; Lewis brothers,
of Eddy Lick, one deer.

KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.—David C.
Calderwood, a brakeman on the Bald Eagle
valley railroad; was the victim of an ac-
cident at an early hour, Monday morning,
which proved fatal. The young man bad
been employed only recently and was mak-
ing his second trip in the capacity of brake-
man, on an east-bound freight train which
left Tyrone about mid-night. In the vi-
cinity of Port Matilda Calderwood at.
tempted to jump on the moving engine,
when he slipped and fell under the wheels
which passed over both legs, crushing them
badly; he was also cut and bruised about
the body. The unfortunate young man
was taken to Altoona where he was placed
in the hospital. His injuries were too seri-
ous, however, to permit any hope for his
recovery, and about 11 o’clock he passed
away. He was aged 20 years and went to
Tyrone from Scotia. He boarded with his
brother, E. E. Calderwood, in East Tyrone.
His father resides near Barree. His moth-
er is dead.

A TRIO OF GREAT MEN.—President
Roosevelt, Cardinal Gibbons, Mr. John
Mitchell —these three men,each in his own
sphere, exercise more influence in our na-
tional life today than any other that could
be named. This world-famous trio is shown
in a most interesting series of moving
pictures secured on the occasion of their
visit and addresses to 200,000 miners and
citizens at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., on August
10th. Tt is interesting because the ensem-
ble, the crowds, the national prominence
of the speakers, make the whole series so
typical of American life today. The favor-
able weather conditions enabled Mr. Howe
