FIXAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE Bila Busixgss MEN'S PIcNIC.— At a meeting of the executive committee of the Centre- Clinton counties business men’s picnic association hel? at the Brookerboff house, last Thursday evening, final arrangements were made for the big picnic which will be held next Tharsday. The Clinton county delegation, which came to Bellefonte ever the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania ar- riving here at 5:15 p. m., was composed of George W. Mason, A. L. Merrick, G. W. Fredericks, P. P. Rittman, A. L. Lichten- walper, C. J. Sigmund, G. W. A. Me- Donald, C. F. Brown, of Lock Haven; R. H. Stoart, of Island, and T. J. Small, Mackeyville. The Centre county contin- gent included A. C. Mingle, J. C. Meyer, Hammon Sechler, John D. Sourbeck, Harry Otto, John I. Olewine, DeLaun Stewart, Robert Cole, Frank Warfield, Jobn M. Bullock, J. Will Conley, Sydvey Krum- vine, Hard P. Harri, F. E. Nagioey and Robert F. Hunter, Bellefonte; Phil D. Foster, State College, Oscar Miles, Miles- burg, and 8. H. Bennison, Abdera. The press of the two counties was represented as follows : C. E. Oberbein, Lock Haven Democrat; C. 8. Suiter, Look Haven Ex- press; C. H. Bressler, Clinton County Times; T. H. Harter, Keystone Gazette; E. C. Tuten, Daily News, avd Geo. R. Meek, WATCHMAN. The meeting was presided over by the pew president, A. C. Mingle. Secretary J. C. Meyer read the minutes of the previons meeting after which J. W. Marray, of Beech Creek, was re-instated as a member of the executive committee alter having been dropped from the list the past two years. When it came to bearing the reports of the various committees J. C. Meyer, chair- map of the finance committee, reported that $750 had been appropriated to the various committees for amusements and other nec- essary picnic expenses. Jobn D. Sourbeck, of the amusement committee, reported that a base hall game bad been echeduled for the afternoon be- tween the Patton and Milton teams. The Lock Haven people protested and wanted the game given to the Autos, of that place, and the Renovo nine, but as the contract had already been signed with the Patton and Milton teams, the game could not be changed. The committee, however, agreed to permit the Autos and Renovos to play a game in the forenoon, they to pay their own expenses and to receive part of the gate re- oeipts. Up to this writing neither team bas siguified whether they will accept that proposition or not. The committee has also arranged for a game of water base ball which should prove a very amusing fea- ture. In addition there will be a clay pigeon shoot between the rival county teams, and a big display of fireworks in the evening. The committee on music reported in favor of one band and one orchestra only, and recommended the Coleville band and the Germania orchestra, of Lock Haven; the former to receive $50 and the latter $40, and they at all times to be under the direct charge of the committee and to play whenever directed to do so. T. H. Harter, of the committee on clos- ing, reported that the business places of Bellelonte, Lock Haven and intermediate towns would be generally closed and, on the suggestion of one member of the com- mittee, the hotels are to be requested to close their bars from 12 o'clock noon on. The committee on transportation re- ported that they bad secured the usual ex- cursion rates on the various railroads, and that in order to accommodate the people from Pennsvalley a special return train bad heen secured which will leave Belle- fonte at 9 o'clock p. m.,and run as far as Coburn. To secure this train it was nec- essary to put up a guarantee of $62, but it is believed the money is well placed. The business part of the meeting being completed the party was invited to the dining room where, with Mr. Frank War- field as host, an excellent supper was serv- ed, one of the chief dishes being spring chicken. At the conclusion of the repast a vote of thanks was extended Mr. Warfield for his generosity as host, and the commit- tee adjourned to meet at the park on Thurs- day, August 16th. From the above it will be seen that every necessary preparation has been made to give the thousands who will doubtless at- tend the picnic a full day of pleasure and amusement and everybody in Centre and Clinton counties who can possibly do so should be there. HARD Luck FOR YOUNG BROWN.—Last week’s WATCHMAN mentioned the fact of the discharge, on Wednesday, of Lewis Brown from the Lock Haven hospijtal. Brown, it will be remembered, is the Madisonburg lad who bad a leg broken in an accident on the Fourth of July on the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania at Lamar. When he was discharged the boy went to the home of his aunt, Mrs. William Bender, in high anticipation of a great time until Satorday when he was to be taken home, but while his aunt was preparing supper for him he slipped and fell while attempting to get into a porch swing and broke his arm at the wrist. In just one hour and ten minutes from the time be left the hospital he was back again to bave the fractare of his arm reduced.

The Democrat farther stated that ‘‘officer Mant- gomery, of Bellefonte, bad put ina claim for the reward,”’ protesting that he had no right todo so. The writer has been in- formed by Mr. Montgomery that he has not made any claim for the above reward.
