Busivgss Mex’s Picyic.—Had the weather been made to order it could not bave been more ideal than it was on Tues- day for the annual picnic of the Centre and Clinton counties business men’s associa- tion, and the gathering was one of the largest in years. The crowd present was estimated at eight thousand. Every train going to the park was crowded, while bundreds drove there in vehicles of every description. The program for the day was carried oat in every detail, though it must be con- fessed that the big majority of those pres- ent went there simply for the pleasure of meeting friends and haviog a good time generally, without giving their attention to any particular line of amusements. The Repasz hand, of Williamsport, with Jobuny Hazel, the prize cornetist, was a great feature and their concerts were much enjoyed by everybody. The one big attraction of the day was baseball. In she morving the Snow Shoe and Orvis teams crossed bats, the former winning by the score of 4 to 3. It was a good game and wa: much enjoyed bya large nomber of fans. At eleven o'clock in the morning the annual inter-connty | shoot was held. Twenty-five clay pigeons was the scratch limit and the prize was a thirty dollar Remington pump goo. Clinton county tears won with eight points to their credit, the full score being as fol- lows : CLINTON COUNTY TRAM. Broke Shuman H. Furst. a William Viering... Barton Pardee... Harry H. Wison...

Of course there were a number of side shows, paddle wheels and other games on the ground which helped to entertain the crowd, while a good orchestra furnished music all day for dancing in the pavillion. While the big majority of those present | took baskets there were hundreds who didn’t, bat there were plenty of relresh- prevailed throughout the entire day. While the grounds were thoroughly policed the authorities bad very little to do. There was very little rowdism aod lew drunks on the grounds.

The wedding took place week | before last at Saloua Anticipating the desire of those wishing to enjoy a certain degree of com- fort in camping out C. B. Snheasly, of State College, bas built a rustic cottage at Rock, along Spring creek, which be will let to any ove desiring same. The cottage has five rooms aud is furnished. ——Cbarles Heisler and John Kuisely went down Bald Eagle below Howard on Tuesday, where they are encamped fora week's bass fishing. They have Dr. Al Roberts with them ae cook and general factotam. Of course they are sure to have plenty of visitors during their week's oot. ing. —— William Rees, father of G. Wash Rees, soffered a stroke of paralysis about ten days ago and is now lying in an almost helpless condition at thé home of his son on Reynolds avenue. Mr. Rees is about eighty-nine years old and his condition is such that there is little hope of a perma- nent recovery. ——The marriage of Miss Elizabeth Lit- comb, of Kennebunk Port, Maine, and Robert Morris, of West Winfield, Pa., will take place at Mise Litcomb's home on the eighth of September.

He was up in that country setting up a stone crusher and in some way whe caught under some falling timbers, his oue leg being caught and crushed and several ribs being broken.

Orbison has decided to retarn to India as a missionary of the Presbyterian church and will sail for that oity some time daring September. Rev. Orbison, whois a native of Bellefonte, went to Podia when a youog man todo missionary work and remained there Guite a number of years. He returned several years ago and at that time expected to re- main in this country but he bas changed of pickpockets. To what * extent they operated is, of course, not known. E. C Decker, of Lock Haven, claims to have been robbed of $125 as he was getting on the train to go home, while two men from Belle- toute and a resident of Spring township also claim to have bad their pockets pick- ed. but not of very large amounts. A nunober of women also reported missing their purses, hat could not say whether they had been stolen or lost. There is no denying the fact, however, that the large crowd made it a good day for pickpookets and they likely plied their nefarious trade to the limit. The railroad company bad ample trans portation facilities and the large crowd was easily handled, a fact that added much to the comfort and convenience of all who attended. ARRESTED ON A GRAVE CHARGE. — William Sampsel, a porter at the Brant house, was arrested on Monday evening and confined in jail on the very serious charge of attempted orimival assault on Catharine, the six year old child of Mrs. Harry Rine. The msn was caught in the act in a small building in the rear of th: Bush Arcade by A. W. Moore, man- ager of the Western Union Telegraph company, and Frank Shogers. About 7.30 o'clock Monday evening Sampsel, who is a man over sixty years of age, was seeu skulk- ing around io the rear of the building by Wilhar Wilson, the telegraph messenger. A few minutes afterwards he saw the little girl go up through the building. On telling Mr. Moore what he bad seen the latter determined to investigate and see if there was anything wrong. Both be aud Shogert went out back of the baild- ing with the resuls that they caught Samp- gel as above stated. The man begged his discoverers not to tell on him, bat his at- tempted orime was of too grave a nature and Mrs. Ryan was notified. who at once went before justice of the peace John M. Keichline and swore out a warrant and Sampsel was later arrested at the Brant house and confined in jail. soe SMALL FIRE SATURDAY MORNING.—A few minutes past eleven o'clock Saturday morning the brick tenement bouse in the rear of the Pruner block, belonging to Dr. R. G. H. Hayes, caoght fire on the roof and, although it was discovered almost immediately, it burned a portion of the rool and down into the attic before the flames were extinguished. The house is occupied by the families of Alfred Derr, Isaac Wyland and Mrs. Farley and, though they lost comparatively little by the fire itself, their household goods were badly damaged by water and also more or less damaged in their attempted removal from the building. The loss on the building, will be about three bundred dollars, all of which is Sally covered by insurance.

Imagine the editor's sarprise in doing so to find tightly wedged in the jes of the feed pipe a nice fat ten inch tront, which bad doubtless entered the pipe alive. The question now arises, is she editor of the Journal liable for catching trout out of season ? ——The annual -te At the tournament of she Lock Haven gan club last week Frank Warfield, of this place, won a prize of fifty cigars.

The railroad company is determined to break up the train riding practice, which they of course have a right to do ; but the ceusurable thing about it is that the men caught are sent to jail and must perforce be kept at the county's ex- pense. There are now eix men in the Cen- tre county jail serving sentences of about twenty days for riding on freight trains. This weans thirty dollars out of the coun- ty treasary for she benefit of vo one but the railroad company. ——A very interesting reunion of the Mattern family was held at Reservoir park, near Tyrone, yesterday, in which a large pumber of members of the family in Cen- tre county participated.

This wae the filth an- nual reunion of this prominent family, which bas houdreds of descendants throughout Centre, Blair and Huutingdon counties, and the one hundred and eighty- second anniversary of the emigration of Peter Mattern, the father of the family, to America, which was in the year 1726. STARTING IN THE NINETIES.—Of the many callers the WATCHMAN bad during the past week none was wore welcome or more interesting than ‘Uncle Tommy” Waddle, of Jersey Shore Mr. Waddle bad just been celebrating bis eighty-nioth birthday at a family reapion at the home of his sister, Mrs. Sarah Wiiliams, of Axe Manu, and although far past the ‘“‘three score and ten” limit, is seemingly yoooger thav many a man of sixty and clearer aud brighter in his recollections of conditions and happenings of more than a lifetime ago, than many of us are of ocearreuces of but recent years. Mr. Waddle delights to talk of the country, as it was, and she peo ple who then worked and worried to make a living, before the most of us were born, and it is deeply interesting tales that ke can tell of those ‘‘olden times.” Mr. Waddle was born up at Rook Forge, in this county, and cast his first ballot for William Heory Harrison, in 1840. He bas pever voted any other ticket than that in opposition to the Democracy, but has no hesitancy in declaring his intention of vot- ing for Bryan and Kern in November next. He says that when a country, blessed as is this one, with the most abundant crops, and everything that man can veed, is in soeh condition that houdreds of thousands of its people are without work or sufficient to eat, there must be something radically wroog, and he wants to see a chbaoge ; and that the fact that his own party has failed to punish any one for the greas theft at Harrishurg, that it is important for the people that it be rebuked at the polls, to prove that the public does not endorse such acts, or condone such offenses. The following ‘Birthday Greetiog' to Mr. Waddle is from the pen of bis pastor, the Rev. Whitwao, of Jersey Shore. If my voice were as strong as it was years Hgo, I'd sing Him a glad song to-day. For the year that is wasted, brought me strength to the last Aud I'm out of my eighties to-day. ‘Tis Thy wonderful love, O my Father above, Hus lengthened my pilgrimage here. And the grace that's been given by boun- tiful heaven Is cause for rejoicing sincere. Many men of the Lord, so the scriptures record, Have lived shorter lives than myself, And the limit to men, is now ‘‘three score and ten” As faithfully taught by Thyself. Nor its Sampson so strong, nor its David of song, Nor its Solomon, gifted divine, Nor its Jonah, nor Saul, and I kuow not who ali, Has had a life longer than mine. So I sing to Thy praise, who hast length- ened my days For near twenty years overtime. Thy will’s been to take me, and graciously muke me . A sample of mercy divine. Oh Thou Father above, in thine infinite love, Give patience to keep when I'm tried, To bs kind, good, and true, till with life I am through, Then take me to be glorified. Jersey Shore, August 13th, 190s, KILLED ON THE RaAILRoAD.—Jobkn H. Sharp, of Hablersharg, better known to the people of thi= section as ‘‘Peter Hoots,” the Panch and Judy man, was almost ia- stantly killed on the railroad in Lock Haven last Saturday afternoon. He went to that city in the morning for the purpose of visiting relatives, among whom was Samuel Vaoetta and (amily, on Walnut street, and was in quest of their home when the accident happened. He was walking on the railroad tracks and apparently did not hear the train approach. As there was a sharp curve at that point he could not see the train nor the engineer see him. In fact the man was not seen by any one of the crew of the train, which was a fast freight, and it was not until they bad gone some distance that they were aware of the accident. They then tacked down the tracks to where the mutilated body of Mr. Sbarp was found. Life was not extinot bat while waiting for an ambulance to con- vey him to the hospital he died. His body was badly mutilated, the'right leg being cut off at the knee, the flesh on the left leg being torn from the knee to the foot, while he was badly cut on the bead and face as well as injured internally. The remains were turned over to undertaker Waters who prepared them for burial and sent them to Hablersburg Saturday even- ing. The unfortunate man was seventy-four yeas old and most of his life had been a resident of Hublersburg. He was a veteran of the Civil war, having served as a mem- ber of the Filty-second regiment valanteer infantry. He is survived by a wife and several children, among the latter being Mrs. Thomas Porter, of Flemington, and Miss Lavina, of Lock Haven. The funeral was held on Monday afternoon, interment being made as Hablersburg.
