BOO. ~The kind of weather we have had so far this week will enable the farmers to get their oats crop in, as well as that part of the wheat crop yet in the fields. Of the latter there was considerable in some parts of the connty. —— J. Haris Hoy entertained a small party at dinner at the Country club on Tuesday evening. It was given in honor of the Misses Roder, of Baltimore, who are guests of Mrs. T. A. Shoemaker. ~Thereisnot a spot in Centre county more interesting or well worth going to see than Penns cave, and a toar of exploration through it will give the observer a mre correct knowledge of the noderground for- mations in the limestone portions of the county than be could obtain in any other way.

At Mary various times farmers plowing in their fields have witnessed the'r hoses sink deep iu the ground aud themselves narrowly es- | caped the same fate. The latest incident of this kind happened to Clarence Houiz, of near Madi~onburg. and the Centre Re porter gives the following necouns of it: Wednesday afternvon about 2 o'clock Clarence Houtz, who resides two miles west of Madisouburg, Centre counts, had a | Nell V strange and exciting experience. He wae plowing in his field wnen suddenly he found thar hie team was disappearing asf by magic. The ground was slowly ging way under thew. He immediately un- hitched his team, bus hy the time he had sbem unhitched fiom the plow one of the horses had sank to such a depth that iv was impossible to get him oat. The ani- mal continued to #ink for eighteen feet be- low the surface of she ground. At first it was thought unsafe for anyhody to work around the hole, ax it was uncertain how much further is would go down. Finall a large crowd of men gathered and wor was commenced to rescue the animal, They huilt a frame work over the hole and then hegan trying a block and tackle to rescue the horee. It was found, however, that this method was not practicable. They then began digging a slanting ditoh, which took four or five hours, but by this means the horse was rescued. The horse was unhurt but was so weak from the try- ing ordeal that is could bardly stand. The sudden collapse of th. ground was due to a cave beneath. rw PHOTOGRAPHER CLUGSTONE HURT IN RUNAWAY.—Bellefonters well know G. Frauk Clogstone, the photographer who spent a months few in this place in the pring and who is now located in Mill Hall and will be glad to know that he escaped with slight injuries in a runaway Thurs- day of last week. He and Albers Metzger, the well known horseman of that city, were on their way from the Scootac region to Lock Haven when the runaway occor- red, the following account of which is tak- ‘en from the Democrat of that place : The gentlemen left the city about seven o'clock thie morning, driving a spirited gray horse hitched toa b The ani- ‘mal bad not been ex for several ‘weeks. All went well along the way, the jbject of the trip bad been accomplished, ‘aud the men were on their way home, when at a point near the Bridgen's farm, a mile west of this city, the lines became en- tangled in the borse’s tail, when the ani- mal began to rear and kick. As the vehi- ole was in danger of upsetting, Mr. Clug- stone jumped ont and escaped with bruises, a severe jarring aud with his clothes ruin- ed. Bus he was fortunate in comparicon to Metzger, the driver, who in attempting to step oat, alter doing his bess to hold the animal down, got his feet fastened in the spokes of vue of the wheels, and bad both legs broken below the kneesand was oth- erwise injured by being twisted and thrown to the road, and kicked by the horse. He was brought to the hospital by Mr. Bridg- ens and received the proper su I at tention. One of the fractures is ofa very serions uature, the bones protruding through the flesh and being slivered. The surgeons found it necessary to use wires to Yep the hones in proper place. r. Metzger, it will be remembered, had a narrow escape with his lite the other day on a runaway wagon loaded with dyna- mite in the Scootac mountains. soe THE MIiDWAY'S BIG PARADE.—Not by auy means the least of the many attrac tions of the big World’s Midway, to be held in the armory next week, will bea monster parade on Tuesday and Wednes- day evenings. It will include Company B, the Coleville band, the Logan and Un- dine fire companies, all the performers and others taking part in the Midway will be on floats in full costume, the rear to be brought up by a loug line of automobiles. In addition there will be the ‘‘Little Ger- man band,” which in itself will be worth looking at, and many other comic features will be introduced that cannot be men- tioned here. Each evening during the parade the ‘‘Fool’s Dance” will be given in the Diamond, another special feature you can’t afford to miss. The parade will start from the armory at 7.30 o'clock and march south on Spring street to Bishop, east to Allegheny, vorth on Allegheny to Linn, west on Linn to Spring, then to the armory and disband. A cirous parade will not be in it for a minute with the big parade of the Midway. Watch for it next Taesday ard Wednesday evenings, and then follow the crowd to the armory. It will only cost you ten cents to get in, no matter what it will cost to get out. MARRIAGE LiceExses.—The following marriage licenses were issued the past week by Register Earle C. Tuten. Joseph Usiak, of Osceola, and Catharine Bogus, of Sandy Ridge. Warren F. Teel, of Reading, and Bessie J. Dubbs, of Rebersburg. George W. O'Bryan, of State College, Ethel J. Bathgate, of Lemont. Ralph M. Rower, of York, and Elizabeth V. Walker, Philipsburg. Pastor ResiaNs—Rev. A. C. Lathrop, who several weeks ago resigned the pasto- rate of the Milesburg, Martha and Port Matilda Baptist churches, expeots to begin his pastorate at Clearfield Sep. 1st. He will preach his closing sermons at Miles- burg and Marsh Creek on Angust 19th, and at Martha and Pert Matilda on Angust 26th. It is a master of mutual regret and sorrow to hoth pastor and people to sever their pleasant pastoral relationship. Both the pastor and his family enter upon their pew work with the bess wishes of their many friends in Centre county. BO — QueEx oF THE MipwAY.—The voting for the queen of the Midway is now fairly started and the first count was made on Wednesday evening.

The impression that seems to exist that’ the Academy will not receive girls this fall is as erroneons as it is unwarranted. The selection of a gentleman teacher for the Eng- lish department does not, in the least de- gree, imply that girls will not be expected. The best women in our town have received their education with a gentleman teacher in charge of their main assembly room. The fact is that the girls of Bellefonte and vi. cinity will receive just as cordial a welcome to the Academy and just as much attention in their class work as they have ever re- ceived in the past; and this year especially, when the corps of instructors has been in- creased and strengthened, it is desirable that the girls avail themselves of the educational facilities to be offered by the Academy. Just as soon as it can be satisfactorily arranged the primary department will be transferred from the main building to the first floor of one of the residences on Spring street, which will eventually form a part of the Academy property. Such a plan will not only prove advantageous for the youngest students in that it absolutely separates them from the older students, but will also afford greater class room facilities for the intermediate and academic grades. The prospects for the coming year are brighter than they bave ever been; and it is to be hoped that the | citizens of Bellefonte will lend their hearty co-operation with the head of the Academy in his purpose of developing this school in a way that means beauty, business and the best educational advantages for all, The reputation of the Academy all through this State and iu Wheeling. W. Va, is of a character that should appeal to the pride and loyalty of every Bellefonter, J. R. E— Christian Endenvor. HuGHES, The fourteenth annual convention of the Centre county Christian Endeavor Union will be held at Port Matilda, which is very conveniently situated on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad, twenty miles west of Belle fonte. The dates are September 5th and 6th, beginning on the afternoon of the 5th and extending through the next day and evening. We earnestly solicit the help and prayers ot all our members, and those not members of the organizations who are favor- able to the movement. Come and let us have a good time together. An effort is being made to have this meet. ing one of special importance. As to the exercises and the spiritual element, we would so conduct it that a wave of good shall flow out therefrom and ripple on until it reaches every nook and corner of our county, if not beyond it. We are endeavoring to secure the best speakers that our county can pro- duce and some outside. One special attrac. tion will be the presence of our State Chris. tian Endeavor president who will address the convention. This is Dr. Bannen, of Wil- liamsport, who is an eloquent speaker, and who will be very helpful to us. Come and hear him. All persons desiring to attend these meetings, should address, Mrs. J. M. Williams, Port Matilda, chairman of com- mittee for entertainment. God has great things in store for us, let us go prepared to receive them. NaANNIE M. FIsHER, Secy., Fleming, Pa.

West Chester, Pa., Aug. 14.—This place was the scene of the wildest ex- citement over the murderous assault 4e on John Entrekin, a member of borough police force, by William snd Theodore Halliday, two notorious negroes of this place. Entrekin found the negroes quarreling in Tincup alley and ordered them to leave. The ne. groes, who are powerful men, knocked the policeman down and cut his throat and slashed him in a shocking man. ner. When the negroes thought they had killed their victim they fled, with a crowd at their heels crying “Murder!” When they reached the Hoopes Broth. ers’ & Darring spoke mills dozens of men stopped their work and joined in the pursuit. The men were mad with excitement, and they tore the clothes from the ne- groes, and would soon have beaten them to death had it not been for the timely arrival of an officer. Bleeding and half naked, the negroes were roped and thrown into a wagon and brought to town. One of the negroes is very badly hurt, his arm is broken, his thumb torn off, and his face beaten in a terri: ble manner It is said he will die from his injuries. The other, too, is badly used up and was covered with blood. It is said that Officer Entrekin is dy- ing at the West Chester county hos- pital. FATALLY SHOT ON TROLLEY CAR italian Fired on Motorman During a Fight. Harrisburg, Aug. 14.—Charles Leh: man. a motorman on the Steelton line of the Central Pennsylvania Traction company, was shot and fatally wound: ed by one of a group of Italians who started a fight on his car. In attempt: ing to separate the men one drew a revolver, and fired a shot at a close range. The bullet penetrated his right side. A panic ensued and in the ex: citement the Italians separated and ran away. The passengers chased the Italians and caught three, two of whom had revolvers. The crowd mobbed one of the foreigners and badly bat tered him before it was learned that he had not done the shooting. The Italians arrested are: Frank, Lewis and George Pase, all employed in the steel works at Steelton. Frank did the shooting and does not deny it He says he did it because he was drunk and mad. Lehman is at the Harrisburg hos: | pital. A diagnosis showed that there is little chance for his recovery. Peri tonitis is feared, and the police took a statement from him in the presence of the prisoners. NEGRO'S DOUBLE CRIME i Attacks and Robs Farmer and Assaults His wife. Camden, N. J., Aug. 13.—A murder ous negro robber beat Graconi Magia, a farmer, into unconsciousness with a blackjack near Westville, Gloucester county, and after stealing $107 assault: ed the wife of his victim. Awakened by a noise in his bed room, Magia saw a colored man climb ing through a window. Jumping from the bed, the farmer grappled with the burglar, who pulled a blackjack from his pocket and struck Magia a glancing blow on the side of the head. Evidently believing that he had kill ed the farmer, the negro started to ward Mrs. Magia. He had walked only a few steps, however, before the farm. er. who had only been stunned by the blow, again attacked the burglar, only to be beaten into unconsciousness. Satisfied that Magia was unable to again attack him, the negro grabbed Mrs. Magie by the throat, threw her on the floor, choked her into insensi: bility and took from her bosom the $107. He then assaulted the woman and escaped. SULTAN HAS RECOVERED Palace Officials Say He Has Regained His Health. Constantinople.
