Heretofore the above were built of wood bat even by usiog the best lamber obtainable, they rotted in a comparatively small number of years aud bad to be rebuilt. This time the proprietors decided to put in concrete and the work bas heen completed and there is hardly any doabt hut that it will last a lifetime, or longer. The wheel pit bas been lowered several feet and with the installation of new twin turbine wheels the power of the mill has been increased at least fifty per cent., or soffictent to drive all the machinery in the mill at one time and do it easily. While the water was: out of the race con- crete walls were pat on both sides just be- low the trestle running from the Penneyl- vauia railroad into the Beilefoute Fuel and Supp!y company’s yards. These walls were put there not so mach for the protection of the banks on either side as they were for the foundation walls of a building which it is the intention to erect there atsome fatare date. ————— A Lors oF SUCKERS. —There are always lot: of suckers in the world bat the suckers we mean this time are the kind that live in the water, and they were to be seen in Spring creek on Souday in vast numbers. A fall head of water had been turned in the race for the purpose of cleaning it of the refuse lodged therein and this left very little coming over the breast of the dam so that from the falls above the WATCH- MAN office down to almost the Central Rail. road of Pennsylvania depot the water was unusually low and practically stagnant. Iu the deep places opposite aud below the Bush house the bed of the creek was literal- ly covered with suckers with a fair sprink- ling of trout. The former species of fish averaged from six to ten inches with a few that were perbaps fifteen inches in length. The trout ran in seize all the way from about four inches up toa foot with several about fifteen orsixteen inches long and one that must have been at least twen- ty inohes in length. Quite a number of Bellefonters as well as strangers who were in town over Sunday took a look at the fish and the usual crowd of small boys in- dulged in the sport of throwing small stones at them just to see them scatter and swim. Monday morning the race gates were clos ed, the water came down the creek as usual aud the fish sooght their customary hiding places, much to the disgust of a number of fishermen who were early at the stream in tbe hope of having some easy fishing. --e— CLERE—CARRIER EXAMINATION. —The United States civil service commission an- nounces that on Saturday, August 3rd, an examioation will be held in Bellefonte for the positions of clerk and carrier in the postoftice service.

DALE AND BeSNETT'S LUMBERING OPERATIONS. —On Sanday afternoon a trio of Bellefonte gentlemen drove oat to the foothills of the Alleghenies, in the section known as Bash Hollow, to see the Dale and Bennett lombering operations, and there they found A. A. Dale Esq., almost as much a son of the forest as the primeval Indian on bis native heath. And all aronnd were evidences of the fast thas their operation there is not a small one in the genuity to get some of their timber to the mill for entting. The will, by the way, is located iu a! quadrangle, at the base of four wounutain peaks, the entire plot being less than au Oa this is located their mill, which is quite a large one with a new Peerless engine to furnish the power i their log skids, lumber yard, etc, while from it leads the narrow guage railroad on | which their logs are brought to the mill. ‘ They bave considerable lumber sawed and | piled up and have already marketed some.

Ed In Cave HoMeR J. LINDSAY. — Belle. foute has missed a number of her “favorite sons’ this week because they are all doing duty as soldiers of the Commonwealth in the anuaal encampment at Camp Homer J. Lindsay, at Tipton, Owing to the fact that this is the first time in a vamber of years that the camp bas heen located so near quite a lot of Bellefonters have taken ad- vantage of the fact to visit the soldiers. Of course they found them just as it was ex- pected they would, every one of them as much a soldier as Centre countiaus always are. Aside from that there hasjbeen noth. ing new or unnsaal in their camp life. The daily rontine of drills, guard moant, ete., have been performed with machi ne-like precision and through it all the boys of company B as well as the hospital corps performed their parts nobly. With the ex- ception of one or two cases of heat]prostra- tion every man has so far stood the test of camp life very well. Colonel Taylor, who is the next youngest colonel injthejbrigade, has received many words of praise on the five showing of the Fifth regiment, a fact due to his untiring energy since he wae elected colonel only a few months ago. The attendauce at camp has heen quite large Ou Sunday it is estimated that faily twenty thousand visitors were present. In fact the crowd was so great that both the Pennsylvania railroad and the trolley com. pany’s facilities were congested and they were noable to handle the people on sched. ule time. Yesterday, Governor's day, the crowd was also quite large hut not as big as on Sunday. Today the soldiers will hreak camp and most of them will have left for their homes before evening. The Fifth will be the last regiment to leave so tbat company B will not reach home until tonight.
