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.
KiLLep BY TROLLEY.—Thomas Hickey,
a well known resident of Hawk Run, was
killed bear Philipsburg last Thursday
night by being run over by a trolley car.
He bad been to the latter place and was on
his way home when he was run down by
the last car returning from Wynburne.

however, was unchanged.

be the week of August 20th to 25th, when
the Midway will be an all week attraction

and it will doubtless bring from two to

Every effort should be made to entertain

She got off of one of the main line trains

Bellefonte but on being informed that there
were no trains to this place after the morn-

for the capture of the two Bellelonte hoys
who robbed the postoffice at Roland. The
Democrat farther stated that ‘‘officer Mant-

——Both the Centre and Clinton county
commissioners were at Beech Creek on
Monday locating the site for the bridge

over four years there has been a dispute
about the building of this bridge until the
the authorities of both counties could no
longer ignore the fact that a bridge was a
necessity, and the result is that work on
the building of one will soon be com-
menced.

Though we do not like to question Mr.
Shavnon’s memory we are tempted to
think be is in error in saying when he sub-
scribed for the Centre Democrat. That paper
was never merged into the WATCHMAN.
The WATCHMAN was started in 1855 and
Mr. Stannon was one of the original sub-
since. Toe old Centre Democrat was Col.
W. W. Bruwn’s Knownothiog paper which
was later merged into the Bellefonte Repub-
lican, aud we think we know Mr. Shavunon
well enough to guess that be was never a
Knownothing.
Dare FaMiLy REUNION.—The second
annual reanion of the Dale family was
held at Oak Hall last Saturday aod was
largely attended. The meeting was held
in the new aud commodious grange hall.
It was calied to order at ten o'clock by
Geurge Dale, president of the association.
Rev. W. H. Dale, of Cleveland, Ohio, of-
fered prayer after which the president
recounted many incidents of his boyhood

Clement Dale E¢«q., read an bistorical
sketch in which he depicted how the Dale
family came to this country as far back as
1749. Just one hundred and sixteen years
ago Christian Dale came to Centre county
and settled on the site which is now the
old homestead farm at Oak Hall when is
was yet an almost unbroken wilderness
and the farm has been in possession of the
Dale family ever since.

For THE FIREMEN'S CONVENTION.—
When the Central Pennsylvania District
Firemen’s convention will be held here in
two weeks it is expected that there will be
over one thousand visiting firemen here,
aod to accommodate that number will re-
quire some management on the part of the
committee in charge. Therefore any fami-
ly in Bellefonte who is willing to take
boarders for that occasion will please noti-
Iy the chairman of the committee, R. B.
Montgomery, at as early a date as possible.

secured a rate of one fare for the roand
