PROJECTED FOR LOWER PENNSVALLEY.—
II the project as now mapped out can be
carried to a successful issue the lower pars
of Penosvalley will be the seat of a big
dam and immense electrical plant designed
to furnish power and light to sneh places
a8 Lewistown, Lewisburg, Lock Haven,
Bellefonte and intermediate towns. The
parties at the head of the project are Wal-
lace Wilson, of Lewistown, president of
the Juniata Electrical company ; Judge
Woods, of Lewistown, and his brother,
lawyer Woods, of Huntingdon. The scheme
is to build a dam in the Narrows at Cherry
run, from mountain to mountain, and high
enough to hold all the water that drains
that way from Pennsvalley.
That the project has passed the embry-
onio state is evidenced from the fact that
those interested have already secured op-
tions on most all the land that it will be
necessary to bave, while surveys for the
dam and calculations of its capacity, pow-
er, ete, have heen made. The final pre.
liminary survey was made on Monday and
Tuesday of this week, and it is estimated
that there is water enongh there to operate
an electrical plant of sufficient size to gen-
erate fifteen thousand horse power. The
plant would be so located that the power

KiLLep oN THE C. R. R. oF PA. —Sher-
man Martin, of Salona, was killed hy the
night train west over the Central Railroad
of Penusylvania last Friday evening.
When the train pulled out of the Salona
station on the way to Bellefonte engineer
Edward Whittaker noticed a man walkiog
in the path alongside the railioad track
ahead of the engine. Almost immediately
thereafter he felt a jolt to his train and re.
alizing that be bad struck something stop-
ped the train and notified the station
agent, George Pletcher, who made a search
and found the mangled aud lifeless body of
Mr. Martin lying alongside the track.
For many years Mr. Martin has been
subject to epileptic fits and it is thought
that jus: as the train was passing him be
was seized with one of his usual attacks
and falling against the train his hody was
caught by the front coach aud dragged fil-
ty feet or more before the train was stop-
ped. When found life was extinct. The
coroner of Clinton county was notified at
once of the accident and went to Salona
but after securing all the information pos-
sible decided that au inquest was unneces-
sary as the man’s death was simply the re-
salt of an unforsesn and unavoidable acoi-
dent for which no person was respousible.
Martin was thirty-two years old and un-
mariied. For a number of years past he
made his home with his sister, Mis. Wil.
liam Kessinger. The funeral was held at
1.30 o'clock Sanday afternoon. Rev. I. J.
Reeser officiated and interment was made
in the Cedar Hill cemetery.

evening, and it must he confessed that
both Mr. and Mrs. Ward exceeded their
customary lavish hospitality in the hearty
welcome extended to all their guests. Of
course that mighty Daniel Boone of Fer-
guson township, John R. Lemon, of Gates
burg, the president of the Rooseveltians,
was there in all his glory and at just nine
o'clock gave the order to pack lunch for
Dry Ridge. This order was more fully in-
terpreted by Mrs. Ward who led the way
to the spacious dining room where the ta-
bles were laid with covers for thirty peo-
ple. It was a fall oyster repast and in-
cluded the lascious bivalves, raw, fried,
stewed and escalloped. Of course there
were the usual side dishes that make an
oyster layout so palatable, the whole top-
ped off with ice cream, cake and coffee.
Capt. W. H. Fry was chosen toastmaster
for the evening and after “blowing up”
the boys for their good huuting capabili-
ties he called on each one in tarn and quite
naturally the speech of each one was woven
aronnd some thrilling hunting episode.
The Pine Grove Mills orchestra farnished
the music during the evening. It was
voted to hold the 1908 banquet at the home
of J. G. Strayer, at Gateshurg.
The oflicers elected for the ensuing year
are : President, John R. Lemon ; vice

instantly killing Christopher Manges, one
of the carpenters, and seriously injaring
Emory Hoover, of DaBois, one of the con-

the Philipsburg Electric Light company.
A dozen or more workmen were in the
building when it fell but the ress escaped
injary.
The front of the building first gave way,
which left down the heavy roof and bulged
out the sides. Manges was sitting in a
front window filing his saw and was struck
on the head by one of the eross beams
which held up the roof. His neck was
broken and he died just as he was released
from beneath the (alien timbess. He was

ANDREW Kacuic AND HARRY WATSON
DiscaaBsap.—Judge Ellis L. Orvis on
Tuesday havded down his decision in the
babeas corpus proceedings of the Common-
wealth vs. Andrew Kachio and Harry Wat-
son, who were arrested some time ago on
the charge of having murdered the former's
ceusin, John Kaehio, at Clarence. on the
night of September 12th, in which he
stated that the Commonwealth had
failed te produce sufficient evidence
to hold she two men on the charge prefer-
red and they were therefore discharged
from cnstedy. This ends the ease so far
as those wo men are concesmed, as once
having been discharged they can never be
re-arrested in connection with the same
alleged erime, if any crime was committed,
a fact which many seem to doubt. The
two men were given their liberty the same
afternoon and that evening lefs for their
respective homes in Snow Shoe.

gladly we yield to these eolicitations. The

Popular songs and simple, earnest Gospel
messages to men. There will be no colleo-

employed. All we desire is to get an op-
portunity to present the plain gospel ap.
