CesTRE COUNTY T0 BE TRAVERSED BY A NEW AIR LINE RAILROAD.—AS last the object of the numerous surveys made throughout Centre county is explained in the announcement from New+York that a new Chicago, Pittsburg and New York Air Line railroad will be bails in the near fa- ture. Joseph Ramsey Jr., former presi. dent of the Wabash system, is at the head of the scheme which, he claims, bas already been financed, mostly by foreign capital. The first steps toward the construction of the line will be taken this week, when pa- pers of consolidation will be filed in Har- risburg, merging the Indiana, Clearfield & Eastern, with a nominal capital of $250,- 000 ; the Allentown, Tamaqua & Ashland, with a nominal capital of $500,000, and the Brush Creek & Crows Ran railroad with a nominal capital of $100,000. The route of the new line as thus far de- fined is via the Indiana, Clearfield & East- ern and the Allentown, Tamaqua & Ash- land forming the main system in Pennsyl- vania. Running eastward the line will be- gin at Pittsburg avd follow the Allegheny river to a junction of that stream with the Kiskiminetas opposite Freeport, thence to a point near Leechburg, when it crosses into Crooked creek, following that stream throngh Southbend, Shelocta and Creek- side. It thence crosses Black Lick creek and over the divide to the west branch of the Suequebanna river, which stream it crosses at Cherrytree. The route is then through Westover, pear Irvona, on the Bells Gap division of the Pennsylvania railroad, through Bacca- ria, crossing the main Allegheny moun- tains near Sandy Ridge. It is near this point that the Pennsylvania lives to Ty- rone and Clearfield cross the Allegheny mountains. The road will cross the Bald Eagle valley near Dix station, a short dis- tance from Tyrone, and then pass through Loveville, Gatesburg, Pine Grove Mills, Shingletown, Tusseyville, and from the latter point it follows Penns creek through Coburn and Cherry run to New Berlin. From the latter point a road nine miles long will be built to Sunbury and North- umberland, where connection will be made with the Philadelphia & Reading and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western. The main line continues Ly way of Selinsgrove, crossing the Susquebanna valley into Mahanoy creek and then following that stream through Mahanoy City and Ashland, tunneling Buck mountaine a distance of 3,000 feet. Lizard creek is reached by way of Ta- maqua and the Blue Ridge is pierced hy a tonpel 5,000 feet to Jordan’s valley, which is traced on to Allentown on the Le- high river. The road continues to Easton on the Delaware, the extreme eastern point of the State. A very direct line bas thence been located through Philadelphia and on to Jersey City. The preparations will be made this fall to begin work on the construction, of the line next spring. It will be awSrded in numerous sections so that completion will follow as rapidly as possible. It is esti- mated thas a double track system can he built from Pittsburg to the Susquebanua river for $120,000 per mile for grading and construction, and for $135,000 complete. The total distance of the Air Live from Pittsburg to Allentown is 293 miles and from that point on to New York is 87 miles, making the total distance from Pittsburg to New York 380 miles, or 65 miles shorter than the Pennsylvania rail- road. The absolute distance between Pittsburg and New York by a perfect air line is 330 miles, or only 50 miles less than the new Ramsey line. The Pennsylvania distance is 445 miles. The distance be- tween New York and Chicago by way of the Ramsey line from actual surveys in Pennsylvania and Ohio and close recon- noissances is 805 to 815 miles. An abso- lute air line between New York and Chica- go would be 748 miles, or only 57 miles less than the splendid survey secured by Mr. Ramsey and his engineers. The Penn- sylvania system bas a distance of 913 miles between the same points and the New York Central mileage is 980, while that of the Erie Railroad is but one mile less than a thousand, or nearly 200 miles longer than the new Air Line will be. —— A ns — BURNED BARN BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN WORK oF INCENDIARIES.—The big barn of Rhodes & Thompson, on the old Tolbert farm about three miles from Union- ville, was entirely destroyed by fire about 11 o'clock Monday night. One horse and this year’s crop of grain and hay was also destroyed together with some farm imple- ments, The loss is quite large and is only pattiaiiy covered by insurance. The fire was believed to be of incendiary origin and suspicion was at once directed to two strange men who bad been seen in that vicinity in the early part of the evening, ove of whom bad but one arm. A descrip- tion of the men was telegraphed to all stations along the Bald Eagle Valley rail- road and Tuesday morning one of them was caught on a freight train at Mill Hall. He was taken to Lock Haven and lodged in jail. He admitted that be had been in the nieghborhood of Rhodes & Thompson's Monday, but denied any knowledge of the fire and manifested great surprise at being arrested. He stated that the man who had been with him on Monday left him at Snow Shoe Intersection. The man arrest ed gave his name as Weston and his home as Farrandsville. ——— A —— ——The popularity of the WATCHMAN is not confined to the men and women of mature years but is relished alike by both old and young as was evidenced by one of the latter class, George C.

In his ad iv today’s WATCHMAN he makes some very {enticing offers to the public. — A wem— ——There seems to be no let] up on the bard rain storms this summer, although we have not had any of them this week so far. Bat last Friday there was one that caused considerable destructiongin the upper Bald Eagle valley. About three hundred feet of track ofgthe Bald:Eagle railroad was washed away,as well as fences, ete. Crops were also jdamaged consider- ably. nnma— AA wn—— —While at his Tyrone home Thursday of last week Mr. A. G. Morris received word that his large barn in Columbia, S. C., was destroyed by fire on Wednesday night, together with its entire contents, which included his fine pair} of driving horses, four carriages, implements, feed and a lot of stored goods. Thej loss isa heavy one as only a small insurance was carried. Mr. Morris left for Columbia Saturday noon. es AAAs m— ——Owing to «he big business men’s picnio at Hecla park the WATCHMAN this week makes its appearance a day earlier than usual in order that as many of the force as wished to do so could attend the gathering. Ofcourse we all bad a big time and we hope everyhody else bad the same, as there is nothing like a day off from business and work, with ja complete relaxation of all its cares and worries, to tone np the system for the dutiesfof the days to foliow. ———— AA —— ——Notwithstanding the big time in Bellefonte next week when the world’s Midway will be held in ‘the armory every evening and the district fire men’s convention willjbe here on Wednes- day and Thursday you don’tjwant to for- get that big basket picnic the State College Camp, No. 6137, Modern Woodmen of America, will hold at Hunter's park on Thursday, August 30th.

They made the run to Lancaster that evening and spent the night there. The second day they got as far as Millersburg, but losta lot of time owing to two tire punctures and a broken chain. They reached Bellefonte Sunday morning, somewhat tired and dusty, hut baving enjoyed the trip, nevertheless. —— A — ——State College borough is enjoying a building boom this summer perbaps not equalled by any other town in Centre county. All told eighteen new houses are now being erected there, some of them al- most nearing completion and others just started, but all of which are to be com- pleted before cold weather sets in. This is a good state of affairs for that town and it isto be hoped that the building boom there may continue until the College be- comes twice or three times as large as it is. It is an ideal place and ove that no person need feel backward about calling their home. Tie FireMex's CoNVENTION NEXT WEEK. —The holding of the Central Penn- eylvania District Firemen’s convention here next week will undoubtedly bring thousands of people to Bellefonte. The committee of arrangements have been workiug untiringly and bave most of the preparations completed. Wednesday morn- ing the delegate meeting for the election of officers and the transaction of such busi- ness as will come before the convention will be held in the court house and will be open only to the regularly elected dele- gates. Tharsday afternoon the various competitive contests will be held for which good prizes are offered. Thursday will be the big parade and it is expected that no less than one thousand firemen and numer- ous bands will be in line, as the owne fare excursion rate offered to firemen should result in a large turnout. And with this prospect in view Belle- foote should give the visitors a warm wel- come. Every business man should see that his place of business is properly deco- rated and no effort should be spared to make the strangers feel at bome. As the hotel accommodations of the town will hardly be sufficient forall who will be here those willing to take boarders for the two days should make their desires known early to R. B. Montgomery. ERE— FAILING To MAKE A Livixe HE Snort HivseLr.—Blair 8, Yeager, of late a resi dent of Altoona, shot and killed himself in the Logan house, at DuBois last Wednes- day morning, where he had been boarding only a few days. He lefta postal card addressed to his wile in which he gave as the reason for taking his life that he ‘‘was sick and could not make a living." Yeager was fifty-two years old. He was born at Birmingham. His father was a farmer and for a number of years the fami- ly lived in she Warriorsmark valley and at Centre Line, this county. They quit farm- ing avd Yeager worked at various trades, one of which was that of a machinist. He became the owner of a shooting gallery which he operated in varions towns throughout the cenfral part of the State, and several years ago was in Bellefonte for several months, and will be remembered by the people of this place as well as resi- dents of Halfmoon valley. He had gone to DuBois to run his shooting gallery. He was married to Miss Anna M. Ray- bold, of Warriorsmark, and is survived by his wife and four daughters ; also several brothers and sisters. The body was taken to Altoona for interment. r——— A wo —— ANOTHER BELLEFONTE Boy HEARD FRroy.—Bellefonters well remember Wal- ter | Lembkey, a nephew of Mrs. John I. Ravkin, with whom he made his home while they lived in Bellefonte. He gradu- ated from the Bellefonte High school in the class of 1886 and shortly after went with the Rankirs when they moved to Philadelphia. Later he secured an ap- pointment in one of the government depart- ments at Washington and while filling that studied law in the Columbia University. Some twelve or fourteen years ago he was appointed chief agent of the United States government at the far seal fisheries in Alaska, a position he has filled ever since. He makes his home on St. Paul island and it is his duty to look after and protect the seal fisheries of Alaska. Recently he dis- tinguished himself in effecting the capture and shooting of several Japanese poachers on Attu island, which iucident brought him considerable newspaper notoriety as well as commendation from the officials at Washington. Lembkey was married to Miss Grace Hurd, a daughter of the late John Hurd, of Altoona. —— A —— OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR THE BELLEFONTE ACADEMY.—James R. Hughes, principal of the Bellefonte Academy, recently re- turned from a trip through western Penn- sylvania and West Virginia in the interest of his institution of learning with the eat. isfactory knowledge that the attendance at the Academy the coming year promises to be by far the largest in its history. Mr. Hughes bas assurance of at least sixty young men from a distance who will come here as boarding students and if he had the necessary dormitory facilities he could easily have secured one hundred, but sixty is the maximum number that can be ac commodated at the Academy. And be- cause of this fact it is to be regretted tbat the trustees did not secure the Beczer and Wagner properties at the time negotiations for their purchase were under way. In some way an impression has gotten around that the Academy will not receive girl students this fall, but the impression is erroneous. Girls will receive just as cordial a welcome and as much attention and fair treatment the coming year as ever before and are therefore urged to attend. RAILROAD COMPANY'S CHARTER RE- vOKED.—In the Dauphin county court last Friday Judge Capp handed down an opin- jon in the quo warranto proceedings insti- tuted by Attorney General Carson against the Altoona and Philipsburg Connecting railroad company to show cause why the company’s charter should not be forfeited, in which be ordered tbe company to be exoluded from the franchise of the corpora: tion. The company was chartered in 1892 to build a line from Janesville, Clearfield county, to Philipsburg, a distance of ¢wen- ty miles. It is alleged to bave issued capital stock to the amount of $404,000, without receiving therefore any consider- ation, and issued bonds to the amount of $325,000. Construction of the road was to cost $500 a mile, on which the State was to receive ten per cent. tax. The com- pany, it is said, failed to pay in the ten cent. or construct the road as required, ence the proceedings to revoke its char- ter. News Parely Personal. —~Charles W.

While formerly his visits were at intervals of weeks this was the first one in a year or more.

They have a 6ft vein, that lays regular, has no dirt or faults and the water does not trouble them. Then, best of all, there are cars enough for every. body, all the time. ~The effusions of tie spring poet have become hackneyed to the point of ridicule. Fame awaits the one inspired to verse over midsummer's fancies! “In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love™ but when he is married a few years it takes the nineties of Au, gust's sun to give him longings for old scenes and friends. No doubt, to this is due the fact thatour gay season has now veered to the season of golden rod rather than earlier for the young people who a few years ago made the town gay are now mostly the younger married ones who come homing in later summer. Among the latest arrivals are : Mr, and Mrs. Joseph Mitchell and dear little daugh- ter, who came over from Lewistown last Saturday and are guests of Mr. and Mrs, Tom Mitchell. Mr. and Mrs. T. K.
