Tavrvse AND y LioHmING, A Bamx
BURNED.—The first thunder storm of the
year occurred on Sunday afternoon and
though it did not last long it was severe
enough to make one think it was mid-
snminer. The storm was accompanied
with a hard downfall of rain hat lortunate-
ly it did not last long therelore occasioned
po danger of a flood. The lightning, how-
ever, played havoo with some of the tele-
phone wires 1n this place and a number of
the Commercial telephone company’s lines
were put oat. The Pennsylvania telephone
company and the telegraph companies es-
caped with comparatively little damage,
Down Bald Eagle valley the storm was
unusually severe. The barn on the farm
of William Robb, near Romoia, was struck
by lightning and barned to the ground
with all its contents of grain, hay and farm
implements. The stock was gotten ous
safely. The loss is about eighteen hun-
dred dollars with a partial insarance. That
was about the only real damage done in
the county, so far as known. Of conrse
the old saw is a thander storm in the
spring means cold weather and we have
bad it since, though it is hoped there will
not be a prolonged spell of it,
MORE THUNDER, RAIN AND FLOOD.
Since the above was written we have had
ample canse to know that there has bsen
more rain, because there hing been the big-
gest flood in Spring oreck in more than six
years with the result thas there were at
least 24 inches of water in the WATCHMAN
press room yesterday and while this item
is being written the devil is at work shov-
eling out the mand so thas the paper oan he
run off in time to reach its readers at she
usual boar,
Whale it has been more or less threaten-
ing all week with showers every now and
then it was not until Wednesday thas the
situation became desperate. The heavy
rain of Weduvesday forenoon and the fierce
storms of the evening and night sufficed to
raise the water in all the streams in the
county to a dangerous point. Spring creek
was very bigh and oxerran its hanks all
along its course. Logan’s branch was that
high that the fish hatohery grounds were
all under waster. It was at first feared that
all the trout were washed away but fortu-
nately that did not prove to be the care.
At the toll gate south of the Nittany lar-
pace the refuse piled up against the trestie
aud dammed the water so high that itjoov-
ered the publio road to a depth of fourjfeet
with over three feet in the toll-keeper’s
house. When the pressure of the water
became too great the self-formed dam gave
way with the resolt that the waterfcame
down the creek in such a volume as to cov-
er everything. . It awept over the breast of
the dam at the Phoenix mill and through
she Bellefonte laomber company’s yard.
That occurred about three o'clock yester-
day morning and it was then that this of-
fice got ite worst dose. Quite a number of
animals were caught in the rashing waters
and carried down the oieck.
Boffaio rou was higher than it has
been in years, washing away the railroad
trestle aud another bridge near Coleville
damming up so that she village isjalmoss
isolated. The Bellefonte Central railroad
company ran their engines np the road as
two o'clock yesterday morning to get
them out of the water in the round house
then the bridge was washed away and they
have not been able to even get their en-
gines back tothe yard. Below town the
railroad tracks were covered with water
and moss of the horse and cattle sheds at
the fair grounds were washed away.
The Baid Eagle was within fifteen inshes
of as high as it was daring the Johnstown
flood with the result that the most of
Milesburg was under water. It was a
great flocd andthe damage done was con-
siderable.

dou Carson, a farmer living near
Zion, made his first trip to Lock Haven in
sixty years last Saturday. Mr. Carson is
now seventy-eight years old and when a
young man eighteen years of age he visited
Look Haven. At thas time the place was
a town of perhaps two huondred houses,
stores, eto., with all the primitiveness of a
frontier village. From shat time until last
Satarday he never visited the town and he
naturally was very much surprised when
he saw what a place it bad grown to be.
——Harry L. Garber, the broker, failed
and went out of business last Friday. His
failure was the results of more or less heavy
dealing on his part and she market going
again him. His exact liabilities are on-
known and as this writing it is not known
if Baxter & Co., the Pittsburg honse he
represented, will do anything io the way
of fixing up the accounts or not. In the
meantime there is now no hroker’s office
in Bellefonte and there is bardly likely to
be one soon unless some satisfactory ar-
rangements are made with t be traders who
have suffered losses in settlement of their
claims. Mr. and Mrs. Garber are breaking
| up housekeeping on east Lino street, will
| store their goods and for the present make |
their home with Mrs. Bosh.

WASHOUT ON BELLEFONTE CENTRAL.
—The passengers who went to State Col-
lege and other points southwest on the
Bellefonte Central railroad, Monday morn-
ing, did not know what a narrow escape
they had until the danger was past, bat it
was next toa miracle that they escaped a
possibile bad wreck and consequent death
or injory. Last werks rains and thaws
melted the snow aod the colvert under the
embankment at the horseshoe hend on the
Ballefonte Central, a short distance above
Waddles, evidently becoming filled ap the
water damned against the railroad antil it
formed an inland lake of no small dimen
sions. Sunday’s storm also added to the
volame of water aud the frost coming ont
of the ground the pressure against she rail-
road embankment wae very great.
When the early train wens np on Moo-
| day morning everything looked all right
"aud they rounded the horseshoe bend in
perfect safety, but they had not gove two
car lengths beyond it when abous twenty
fees of the embankment gave way and was
swept down the valley by the ourush of
water. The only explanation as to why is
did not go down under she weight of the
train is that it most bave been the weight
and vibration of the train that loosened the
gofsened earth but she train crossed too
quickly to get caughs iu the fall. The ac
cident, of course, made it necessary So
transfer passengers, eto., at that poius until
the roadbed could be repaired.

A PROSPEROUS PASTORAL YEAR.—Last
Sunday Rev. James B. Stein preached his
last sermons for the conference year in the
Methodist ocharoh in this place. That the
reverend has had a very successful pastorate
since coming to Bellefonte is a fact that re-
dounds to his oredit. When he came here
the church was burdened with quite a
heavy debt,all of which has been liquidated
except one thousand dollais and as an off-
set to this he bas pledges of over thirteen
handred dollars in good subscriptions, In
addition the church has heen just as pros-
perous in a spiritual way. The full mem-
bership has heen increased by a goodly
number while there are many probationers
on the list. Daring the past year Rev.
Stein preached 105 sermons, officiated at
24 fanerals and made 971 pastoral visits.
In fact his work in the Bellefonte parish
has been so =atigfactory to the entire oon-
gregation that a unanimous request for his
return has beeu sent to conference and it
will andoabtedly be granted. Iu a fioavocial
way the past year has also been quite a
successful oue as the following report of
the various contributions will show :

STATE COLLEGE BASEBALL SCHEDULE.
—Maovager Joe Reiter, of the State College
base ball team, has finally had his sched-
ale for the coming season approved and
made pablic. Is provides for twenty-three
games, eight of which are to be played on
the home diamond. A noticeable feature
about the schedule is that not one of the
‘Big Four” college teams is on the list.
Thie is not becanse of any fanlt of State, as
the management made all kind of cooces-
sions to get games with Yale, Princeton
and Pennsylvania, and especially with the
latter two, but shey failed in the attempt.
They have a game with Cornell, and two
with Bucknell, one to be played at State
and one at Lewisbarg. The southern trip

ont and the season therefore will nos open
before April 11th. Following is the sched-
