When they did see the tiain quick as a flash Partridge canght Miss Minaid in his | arms and threw her on the opposite side of the carriage, interposing hia own body as a shield between her and the cu rushivg en- gine, and it was this last act of chivalry which undoubtedly cost him his life Philip Payne Partridge was born iu Nor- wich, N.

While we have beeu unable to get the exact number of people handled hy the railroad company it can io truth be said that the crowd wae as large as in former years, being variously estimated at from eight to ten thousand. And never has a picnic heen held at the park at which such good order and decent bebavior prevailed. The grounds were thoroughly policed and intoxicated indi- viduals were not permitted in the park ; while the railroad company took the pre- caution to refnse to banl anybody who was | drank, so that the hig gathering was de- void of anything even bordering on rough- ness. And of course everybody bad a good time. The Repa-z band, of Williamspore, arrived at the groonds in good time and gave concerts at frequent intervals dating the day. As this band is noted for their fine music, to listea to them was in iteell pleasure enough for hundreds.

The big sporting event of the morn- | ing was the inter-county shoot hy teams made up of the hest shots from Centre and Clinton counties, The Centre county team won by the small margin of three points and hence captnred the shot gun offered as a prize.

Chamber CLINTON 91 94 At eleven o'clock a tennis tournament was held in which the players were Has- gell Montgomery and Albers Canfield, of Bellefonte, and W. L.. Foster and T. Rob- inson, of State College. The former won aud thus captured the gold medal racket offered as a prize. In the afternoon the big event was the baseball game between Philipsburg and Renovo. The contest was a very interest- ing one up until the sixth inning, the score at that time standing 2 to 1 in favor of Re- novo, but in the next inning they went up in the air and Philipsburg made eight runs, the final ecore heing 17 to 3. Dr. Robin- son, of State College, umpired the game and, though there was a little kicking at first, when the players realized that be was umpire in fact as well as in name, they quit dieputing his decisions. All iv all the picnic was a decided suc- cese and everybody conuected in anyway with its management is to be congratulated on the resalt. The railroad company had wade ample preperations to handle the big crowd and as a result trains were run close to schedule time, and every man, wom- an and child was landed home in good time. a ———— SNOW SHOE TO BE INCORPORATED INTO A BorouGH.—For several years past the people of Snow Shoe have heen desirous of having their town incorporated as a bor- ough but the movement always had a num. ber of opposers, chie! among whom was the Lebigh Valley Coal company.
