Busiygss MEex's PicNic TUESDAY,
AUGUST 18th.—~Pursuant tu a call of the
president the exeontive committee of the
Business Men's Pionio association of Cen:
tre and Clinton counties met in the parlor
of the Brookerhoff house in shis place at
six o'clock Tuesday evening with shirty-
nine of the forty members present.
A.C. Mingle, president of the associa-
tion, called the meeting tc order, stating
that the purpose was to decide whether a
pionic shonld be held this year and if so,
where and when. Following she roll call
and reading of the minutes of the last
meeting the first order of business was the
election of officers for the ensuing year,
which resulted as follows: Presideot, T. J.
Smuli, of Mackeyville; vice president, C.
F. Montgomery, of Bellefonte; secretary,
J. C. Meyer, of Bellefonte; treasarer, G.
W. Fredericks, of Lock Haven.
When the question of whether a picnic
be held this year or not was brought before
the committee A. L. Merrill, of Lock
Haven, made a motion that a picnic he held
and that the place be Hecla park. In sup-
port of his motion Mr. Merrill stated that
there was no other logical place which
drew to it such a hig concourse of people
and withoot a dissenting vote Heola park
was selected. [It took considerable figur-
ing on the part of the committee before a
suitable date conld he selected but Tues
day, Aoguet 18¢h, was fivaliy named as the
most available date for all.
The fact heing report-d that three mem-
bers of the committee had failed to attend
the last few meetings and were thus liable
to be dropped as delinquents, it was decid-
ed to notily them of this fact and if they
failed to respond at the next meeting their
places would be filled. Oa the suggestion
of Mr. Herr the management committee
was instructed to see that the sanitary con-
dition of the park he improved, especially
as regards toilets, eto.
Mayor Stevenson, of Lock Haven, sug-
gested that the committee on music make
every effort to secure the Repasz band, of
Williamsport, but as other members favor-
ed either the Coleville or Lock Haven band
it was decided to leave the matter to the
committee on musio.
Practically the same committees who
served last year were appointed for this
year by T J. Small, the new president.
As there were a few minates leisure time
before the committee reports sever-
al of the members made speeches in which
they urged all to work for the success of
the 1908 picnic.
At seven o'clock everybody repaired to
the diving room where a most palatable
spring chicken supper was served. After
sapper the Fiuauce committee met and ap-
propriated six hundred dollars to he divid-
ed among the different committees for
amusements, ete.
Before parting a vote of thanks was ten-
dered Mr. Frank Warifield for bis hos-
pitality in furnishing free transportation
for the members of she committee and also
the free supper, after which the com-
mittee adjourned to meet at the Irvin

~——Quite a number of Bellefonters have
been enjoying their anpual outing the past
two weeks camping on Fishing oreek,
where they spend the mornings and even-
ings fishing for trout. In this they have
been guite sucoessful as can be proven by
quite a number of guests who partook of
their hospitality as one time or another,
and also ate the trout.
eee
——T. Clayton Brown had another apasm
of his asual luck on Tuesday. Just aboat
one o'clock he walked ous Water street to
the falls above the WATCHMAN office and
in less than ten minutes he hooked and
safely landed an 18} inch California rain-
bow trout which weighed over two pounds.
Mr. Brown has more big trout to his
credit this veason thau any one fisherman
in Bellefoute.

~=—The hottest weather we have had so
far this season, or probably will have this
summer, was experieno-d during the past
two weeks. Lasf week the thermometer
registered from ninety-four to nminety-six
degrees in the shade several days and on
Sanday it reached its maximum in this
place when it registered ninety-seves. It
was the hottest day in Bellefonte in years
until the wind and rain storm in the even-
ing, when the atmosphere became a few
degrees cooler,
~——William Buroside is one of the very
busiest of men these days. Recently he
leased the sand mines at Scotia and has
been operating them since under the name
of the Scotia Sand company. He not only
has all kinds of sand but he has already
built up quite a basiness and, in addition,
is now managing the work at the Red
Bank ore mines. An advertisement in this
issue of the WATCHMAN will tell you all
about his sand business, aud if you are in
need of any give him a call.

~<A very delightful musicial event of
the week was held at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Archibald Allison, on Wednesday
afternoon at four o'clock, when Miss Marie
Walsh's class in instromental music gave
their firat parlor recital. The first num-
bers on the program were by the pupils
who are practically beginovers, gradually
leading ap to those furthest advanced in
their ssudies and practice. It was quite a
pleasant event and was attended by the
parents aud friends of the pupils.

— At a recent meeting of the Bellefonte
school hoard Ward Fleming, son of Mr.
aod Mrs. W. I. Fleming, was elected seo-
ond assistant principal in the Bellefonte
High school to take the place occapied last
year by Mr. Dickerman. Mr. Fleming
should make an able teacher as he is a
graduate of Haverfo:d, took a two year's
coarse in the law school of the University
of Pennsylvania aud recently graduated
from the Pittsburg law school, passed a
most successful examination before the
state examining board and was admitted to
practice at the Allegheny county bar.
——The last issae of the WATCHMAN
contained an article on the bad condition
of the Diamond, a fact known by every-
body in Bellefonte. Since that, however,
we have been imformed by one member of
council that the appliction for a state road
through Bellefonte has been granted and
that advertisements for the building of
same will be published in the near [atare.
This will be good news to every man in
Bellefonte who owps an automobile or
vehicle of any kind, bat in the meantime
it will take weeks, if not months, before
work can be begun on the road and will
the Diamond have to remain in lis present
disgraceful condition all that time?

——~Hugh P. Baker, head of the forestry
department at The Pennsylvania State
College, who several weeks ago had a
squad of Juniors in camp on the Valentine
timber tract southeast of Bellefonte for the
purpose of making practical investigations,
is now engaged in making some very inter-
esting investigations in Cambria county.
In 1905 the Johnstown Water company,
under the direction of the United States
forestry department, planted fifty; thous-
and tree seedlings on their water shed and
so favorably impressed are they with the
result that they are now preparing to
double that planting and Prof. Baker is
there overseeing the work. On Tuesday
he aleo began an examination of a tract of
four thousand acres belonging to the Cam-
bria Mining and Manufacturing company
near Portage, as they also wish to make
extensive plantings.
——Some of the automobile owners
around Bellefonte have more than once
made fon of F. R. Bussler and his ‘‘one-
langer” Cadilac runabout but if he were
entitled to salvage for towing in antomo-
bile dereliots he would soon have enough
to buy a six cylinder machine. Ove day
last week he towed Capt. A. C. Mingle
and hie Cadilac touring car from the lime
kilos into hie stable back of the Brooker-
hoff house and on Sunday night be hauled
Frank E. Naginey and Thomas Beaver all
the way from Nittany to Bellefonte in the
former's Ford runabout. They had all
been down to the fishermen’s camp on
Fishing creek and on the return home
Naginey’s oar went to the bad at Nittany.
It was about nine o'clock at night, raining
and muddy and not being able to repair
the trouble they were compelled to accept
Bussler’s life line and be towed home,
reaching Bellefonte about midnight.
Mise | Lisgis Jones Kisko ON Rai
ROAD. — Avother unfortunate accident
bappeoed on the Pennsylvania railroad,
just north of Bellefonte, yesterday moro-
ing, by which Miss Lizzie Jones, daughter
of Mr.and Mrs. H. N. Jones, of Miles.
barg, was instantly killed. Miss Jones
bad worked for Mise Snyder this summer
learning the trade of a milliner. Wed-
nesday eveving she came so Bellefonte and
carried a basket of sweet peas to Miss
Soyder. She spent the night at the home
of Mre. Edward Foster and yesterday
morning visited several stores in town and
made a few small purchases.
She started for bome a little after nine
o'clock, walking the path along the rail-
road. On her way down she mes No. 50,
mail east, pulling in to the Bellefonte sta:
tion, When she got down opposite the
office of the American Lime and Stone com-
pauy she evidently hecame confused hy
the noise and number of trains. The
Bellefonte Central bai just pailed in on its
own track and was starting toward Cole-
ville. Oa the other side of the creek the
Central Pennsylvania train was just pall-
ing into the depot and consequently she
failed to distinguish the noise made by
No. 50 in backing down the track on its
way out. Itis said that a mao by the
pame of Miller, who was some distance
away, called to the girl to look out for the
train, but she evidently thonght he meant
the Bellefoute Central and to get out of its
road stepped over on the Penueylvania
tracks pot ten fees in fronts of the swiftly
moving train. She was struck in the back
aud knocked ahout fifteen feet to the side
of the road, her head striking the sharp
end of a tie, practically splitting the skull
bone open as if struck with an axe. Death
was instantaneous.
The shifting crew brought the remains
to the Bellefonte depot from whare they
were removed to the Harris undertaking
establishment to be viewed by the coroner
before preparing for burial.
The unfortunate girl was about eighteen
years of age and was the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. H. N. Jones, both of whom sar-
vive with one sister, Miss Lorena and two
brothers, William L. and Roy. At this
writing no arrangements have been made
for the faneral.

coal mining districts as well as large
fastories in the big cities, and he asserted
that it was the aim of the Philadelphia
