BELLEFONTE ACADEMY MINSTRELS.
—Students of the Bellefonte Academy will
give a minstrel performance in Garman’s
opera house on Friday evening, May 1st,
with a possible repetition the following
night. The boys have been practising for
some time past and it wonld hardlyibe fair
to them to tell just what they have been
doing or how good they are. Suffice to say
that they are being drilled hy Prof. Sher-
wood Hall and this in itself is a guarantee
that the entertainment will be one of more
than the ordinaiy merit of awatenr per-
formences. The student hody at she}Acad-
emy this year is larger than ever before
and there are quite a number who have
shown considerable musical ability. This
talent they have cultivated by continued
practice until now they are in shapejto make
a more than ordinary creditablefappearance
in pablie.
They have also many good specialties
which will undoubtedly ‘‘take down the
house’ when they make their first appear-
ance. And then the objeot of the perform-
ance is another feature that will assure this
new aggregation a full house. The {pro-
ceeds are to be applied to the fund for the
fixing up of the new athletio grounds, a
most worthy project, by the way. Taking
all this into consideration, the people of
Bellefonte are urged to hold themselves in
readiness to patronize the Academy min-
strels most liberally. Don’t forget the
date, Friday, May 1st.

in the Presbyterian church Sunday evening
on the subject of the indastrial education
for the negro. The speaker was a warm
advocate of Booker T. Washington's meth-
ods as carried out in the Tuskeege, Ala.,
institute. Quite a large andience was pres-
ent and considerable interest was manilest-
ed in she oause the lecturer advocated. On

his lecture in the A. M. E. church.

fell uncoascious at the threshold. He was
seen by a passerby lying in the doorway
and dragged into the open air. An investi.

of Gentzel and Fehr and these, too, were
taken into the open air when all revived.
——This evening the Johnstown ‘‘All

season and the Johnstowners have also
been defeating most everything they have
gone up against so that tonight's oon-
test will bea battle for the supremacy
between the above two victorious teams.
The price of admission will be but twensy-
five cents and a big crowd should be pres-
ent to witness the game.

while sitting on the bank of the stream he
heard a robin sing and looking up be not
ouly saw the warbler ona limb of a tree
but saw quite a number of other robins
gathering; and when they flew away he
counted the flock and he declares there
were just nineteen robinsall told. Such a
gathering of robins on the ninth of March
ought to be a sure bachioger of spring.

ANOTHER WRECK ON THE LEWISBURG.
—Following close on the disastrous freight
wreck on the Lewisburg and Tyrone rail-
road, a short distance south of Bellefonte,
some six weeks ago, and in which the
engineer lost his life, a second wreck oo-
curred near the same place on Friday
morning of last week. The engine and
orew of Lewisburg local freight wens ous
to Whiterook quarries for a consignment of
crushed stone. They lay at Pleasant Gap
until the early passenger train bad gone by
when they started for Bellefonte with six
big steel cars of stone.
According to what evidence could he
the engine broke when running around a
ourve. The oar left the track and after
ranning over the ties for some distance
finally toppled over the embankment into
the oreek aud pulled two more cars with
it. Fortunately none of the crew was hurt
as they had ample warning and as the train
was not running very fast jumped so safety.
The track was torn up for a distance of
over two hundred feet and the morning
passenger train to Bellefonte was delayed
several hours.
On Saturday morning a large steam der-
rick and orane was brought from William-
sport for the purpose of putting the cars
back on the track and whileit was being
pushed through the switch just eouth of
the station in the Bellefonte yard one track
lefs the track. As it is quite a ponderous
piece of machinery it took some time to re-
place it. It was finally gotten on the track
and the wreok cleared up on Saturday.

said of hundreds of subscribers to the paper.
