PE ——The most intezasting hase ball game of the season in Bellefonte will be the con- test between Juniata College, of Huntivg- don, and the Academy nine. This game will be played on Saturday afternoon, June 6th, at two o'clock sharp. The Juniata boys have defeated Dickinson Seminary, of Williamsport, twice shis season. This fact alone indicates the strength of that team. Their pitcher is said to be of a professional order. Be sure to patronize whatever games are played and thereby help the Academy and receive the pleasure to be derived therefrom. — Wednesday afternoon Dr. W. H. Fry, the veterinarian of Pine Grove Mills, was in the neighborhood of Oak Hal! look- ing alter come sick stock. He was driving along the road all unconscious of danger when a runaway team came up from be- bind, caught ove of the rear wheels of his buggy and practically wrecked the vebicle. Dr, Fry was thrown out and sustained one or two broken ribs as well as quite a num- ber of cuts and bruises, but was able to se- cure his horse and make his way to Oak Hall, where he got fixed up before proceed- ing on his way. The runaway team was that of butcher J. F. Kimport, of Boals- burg, whose wagon was also badly dam- aged. Spring Mills, John Homer has greatly improved the appearance of his residence by a coat of white paint. C. A. Krape bas just opened his summer line of shoes for ladies and gentlemen, The styles are beautiful and besides are made for comfort and wear, he deals in no other kind. Our genial post master is never behind the times, but like the business in the vost office department is always up to the latest, Road master Andrew Corman, instead of fooling with a wood bridge across the road to the station washed out by the recent high water, put in clay piping and covered it over like the road. That, he says, will last. To put a plank bridge there is simply foolery. Mr. Corman knows what he is talking about. Last week in reporting the program for Memorial day the speakers for Spring Mills had not been secured, butsince then the committee have secured former State Senator W. C. Heinle and Rev. J. Max Lantz for the orators. Exercises will begin at the Union cemetery at 9.30 a. m., in Georges Valley at 2 o'clock p. m., and Spring Mills at 5.30 p. m. At the fifth anniversary of the Spring Mills Lodge, No. 597, 1.0.0. F., grand master Rev. B. H. Hart, a very prominent clergyman of Harrisburg, will deliver the address in the Lutheran church here on the evening of Thursday, June 4th. The rev. erend gentleman isa very able and fluent speaker and his discourses on this occasion will be highly interesting and a rare enjoy- ment to hear. An invitation is extended to everybody to be present. Lodge, No. 597, is forging straight ahead ana ranks high in the order. The members sre so proficient and well informed, although the lodge is young in years, they are frequently called upon by other lodges to exemplify the work. Among its membership are some of our most promi- nent and influential citizens. On Wednesday of last week we had high water in this locality almost equal to the disastrous flood of 1894. Penns creek above the junction of Sinking creek was the high- est ever known, but Sinking creek was lower. Had the latter stream been as high as the former Spring Mills would have been deluged. As it was Penns creek like an angry flood swapt over the main road west of the bridge, extending in width 200 feet, reaching the porch of the hotel, destroying the greater part of the garden on the east and completely surrounding the shoe maker shop of Geo. Huss, Mr. Huss was obliged to walk up the railroad about two miles to cross over in order to reach his shop, aud then could only look at it. The water madly crossed the road tearing out the yard fencing of Robert Smith in the north and east ruin. ing his garden and flooding his barn and outbuildings. The road to the station was from 2 to 5 feet under water. From the bridge over Sinking creek the water extend- ed south to the repair shop of Harry Brian a distance of 400 feet flooding the cellar of Wm. Smith and all the cellars along Sinking creek. At the M. E. church building just below the junction ot the two creeks the water was even with the flooring, and sur- rounding the dwelling below occupied by James Leitzel, and extended up the alley way 400 feet to the barn of M. T. Duck, and inundaiing his grounds, The foot bridge over Penns creek below the post office was swept away, leaving only a few steps to tell the story. From the residence of John Brown on tka creek road, for 150 feet or more, was fully two feet under water, flooding the cellar of merchant H. F. Rossman and doing considerable damage to the surroundings. From the site of the foot bridge for a consid. erable distance down the roadbed is some- what elevated, but at Dr. Braucht’s residence it is lower and the water completely washed out his garden which fronts the road, and extended back to his barn and the eastern side of his dwelling. From here to the iron bridge over Penns creek. possibly 250 feet, all the boardwalks were completely torn out but much of the wreck was secured be. fore drifting away. Many of the fields below town on both sides of the creek were covered with water from one to three feet deep snd some were only planted last week. All the families residing along the creeks were up all of Tuesday night, of course there was no way to reach the south side of the creek nor the station for a day or two except by driv- ing, and then only by a long cirenitous route, owing to the washing out of the road bridge on the station road. The damage to crops, garden truck and property can hardly be estimated. Lemont, Chester Kerstetter Sundayed at the home of M. A. Williams. Dr. W. H. Fry, the hustling veterinar ian, reports lots to do in his line at pres, t. © John Garner, of State College, visited with George Williams Sunday and Mon. day. John I.

Witmer had the misfortune to have a cow break a leg, but Dr. Fry set it in plaster paris and she is getting along fine. Mrs. Sarah Etters and Mrs. Belle Ralston were delegates to the ministerial conven. tion, held at Centre Hall this week. The Memorial services at Houserville, Sunday, were well attended and every one was pleased with the sermon delivered by Rev. Joseph R. Miller. Mr. Brady, from Brookville, moved to town and will stay for six or eight weeks while he canvasses this neighborhood selling a fine line of sprayers. These hot days are bringing the crops along in fine shape and by all appearances there will be the finest hay and wheat crops that there have been in years. William Young and son Norman, of Boals- burg, were in town, Monday, clipping sheep with their patent clipping machine, and it seems by the way it works that they should not be idle while there are any sheep to clip. Monday while Jobn R. Williams and son were working with their team, at their gar den, a fine doe came near them and stayed for about one hour. She acted as though she had been run by dogs and did not go to the mountains until she was rested. Pine Grove Mention. You don’t want to forget the ladies’ festi- val'se Memorial day.

"Peace’”’ was his theme and the young divine, in his eloquent manner, vividly recounted the brave and daring deeds done from Sumpter to Appomatox. Operators to Store Millions of Tons of Anthracite Coal. Port Clinton, Pa., May 26—Anthracite miners numbering 140,000 men are to be given steady employment, and not a day will be lost to them, if the rapidly maturing plans of the opera tors are carried out. The three-year wage agreement uu- der which the miners are working ex- pires on April 1, 1909, and it is the desire of the operators to store before that time mot less than 10,000,000 tons of various sizes of hard coal, in an- ticipation of any prolonged disagree ment over the terms of the next wage contest. There is very little hard coal in storage now, for the production since the industrial depression began last October has been greatly restricted. Woman's Body Found In Water. New York, May 26.—The body of Mrs. Helen Hart was found in the wa- ters of Little Hell Gate under such cir- cumstances as to lead at first to re ports that she had been the victim of foul play. The body was badly bruised and the face was so cui by contact with the rocks as to indicate that Mrs. Hart had been beaten to death. One report declared that the body was tied in a barrel when discovered, but this was disproved. Mrs. Hart's son said his mother had been missing for sev- eral weeks. It is believed that she committed suicide. Heart Pierced by Piece of Mirror.
