AcGArnsT FIREWORKS. —Io view of the numberless accidents which bappen all over the country on the fourth of July through the careless handling of fireworks, and the growing sentiment in doing away with them alltogether, a petition is now being circulated in Bellefonte for signers which will ultimately be presented to the Belle. fonte borough council asking for the pass- ing of an ordinance forbidding the use at all times of fireworks withic the borough limite. The petition is being signed by most of the leading citizens of the town, or by aboas four out of every five 0 whom is has heen presented. _ The shooting off of fireworks and all kinds of noite has always beeu olosely identified with a fourth of July celebra- tion and while as first is might appear a little unreal to celebrate the nation’s natal anpiversary without the customary din aud smoke, the fact that every year scores of human lives are sacrificed and bundreds maimed for life in perpetuating the cus: tom should be a strong argument for ite abolishment. Auvother argument is the wanton waste of money, a large per oent. of which is by that clase which can least af- ford to epend it. Naturally there are those who argue that a Foorth without fireworks would be no Foartb at all, but there are macy other ways in which the day could be celebrated than by burning powder, and none of them would entail the daoger to life and proper- ty that always follows in the trail of fire- works. For this reason the WATCHMAN is in sympathy with the movement to have an ordinance passed forbidding sheir use entirely within the borough limits, and we believe it will be sustained by nine out of every ten good thinking people of the town. > BELLEFONTE MoTOR CLUB MEETING. — A regular meeting of the Bellefonte Motor club was held in the commissioner’s office in the court house on Monday evening. In the absence of Robert F. Hunter, the pres. ident of the clab, vice president Jobu S. Walker presided. Through Col. H. 8. Taylor the executive committee recommended that the clab heartily sapport the movement for a good roads convention to be held in this place ou Thaorsday, August 5th, at which time State Highway Commissioner Joseph Hunt- er, of Harrisburg, will be in Beilefonte and make an address on the advantages of good roads and how best to improve them and keep them in good condition. It is very likely that one or swo other speakers will be present and give some practical talke. Road supervisors especially throughout the county are urged to attend this cooven- tion, fall details of which will be given them in ample time to make arrangements to be bere. The condition of the pike through the Woodward narrows into Union county was brought to the attention of the club. Through Haines township, right up to the Union county line the supervisors bave the road in excellent condition, bas as soon as the line is crossed into Union county the condition of she road is so bad as to be a nuisance and a menace to drivers of all kinds of vehicles. The secretary of the club was authorized to communicate with the supervieors in the townships in Union county through which said road passes and notify them that if the same is not put in better repair within a reasonable time le- gal action will be taken. A few minor matters were attended to alter which the club adjourned. Hurt oN THE FouRTH.—The fourth of July was a quiet day in Bellefonte, many people going down to Hecla park to epend the day with the local Y. M. C. A. Inthe evening there was the nsual racket of fire- works and one unfortunate accident to mar the day’s celebration. It occurred about seven o'clock in front of P. F. Keich- line's store where a number of people were putting off fireworks. Some person threw a bunch of crackers into the street and only aboat one-balf of them exploded. Thomas McClure, ton of Mr. and Mrs. William Mo- Clare, ran out to secure the unexploded fireorackers when somebody threw a big sanuon oracker which lit close to the boy and went off just as he was stooping down. The flesh on his side was badly torn and braised and for two or three days it wasa question whether he would live or not. Of course, it was an accident, bat it only shows what can happen through the care- less use of such high-power explosives, and this is the reason a campaign for their com- plete abolishment is now being waged all over the country. Iu relation so young MeClure's injury it might be said that he is a boy who can lay olaim to more hard luck than the average lad. Several years ago he suffered with an affection of she knee joint which it was feared would develop into tuberculosis of the bone, but whioh fortunately did nos. About a month ago be fell and bioke his arm and was still carrying that member in a sling when he met with bis last accident. To CoMPLETE HOSPITAL. —At a meeting of the board of managers of the Bellefonte hospital beld on Monday evening it was decided to go ahead with the erection of the addition needed to complete the baild- ing. It was estimated that to do the work it would cost $15,000, inasmuch as it was decided to build brick walls between the rooms and put down conorete floors. The board bas at its disposal $8,000 appropriat- ed by the State and $2,000 very generously donated by an unknown citizen of Belle- fonte, which leaves $5,000 to be provided for. This amount can be arranged for in tome way and Henry Lowery, the contract- or, was instructed to preeeed with the work as soon as possible. ~The Baum lamily are occupying The Willows this week.

Mr. Brett was formerly from Pine Grove Mills while Mrs. Brett was Miss Alice Neff, of Cartin. S———— A ——— ~The hot weather of the past few weeks bas not interfered with she work of cupid in the least.

The first couple will reside in Philadelphia and the latter in Clearfield. —Yesterday morning a number of gentlemen were standing in front of Sim Bauw's clothing store when there was a report like a pistol shot. It took some time to discover where the noise came from bat it was finally located, and was caused by the breaking of the corner of one of the large plate glass windows. As no one was near the window at the time, the broken glass can only be explained by the fact that the building must be settling and the pressure on the glass caused it to break. ———— ni —— About 8.30 o'clock Monday evening Dr. J. J. Kilpatrick bad Mrs. Kilpatrick out for an automobile ride and were going east on Linu street at a very moderate gpeed, when the bolt which held the kouckle on the steering gear was lost and on the crossing at Green's corner the knuckle itself fell off and the front wheels started in opposite directions. Fortunate: ly the doctor was able to stop the machine almost instantly, before doing any further damage and without injury to himself or wile. ——r e—— —Jim Miller, the porter at the Brock- erhoff house, evidently intends to give op portering and go in for athletics, as on Taesday he started practicing on the dou- ble somersault and high dive. He was driving down street in the Brockerbof! house baggage wagon, standing up as usual. The horse was jog-trotsing along and when in front of the WATCHMAN office stumbled aod fell down. That was when Jim started athletics. With a nimbleness surprising in one of his age he turned a flipper in the air but as it was bis first attempt he did pot have the lighting down so fine points, and consequently lit on bis head. Bat he got over the horse all right and as be lit on his bead he wasn't hurt. Neither was the horse or wagon. ——— A — —~Last Thureday morning R. B. Tay- lor with two of his children took a carriage drive, going up the back road past the Mrs. M. J. Valentine place. Coming down the bill on the retarn trip, and when just op- posite the home of Frank Beezer, one of the boldback straps broke allowing the buggy to run forward againat the horse. Fearing a ronaway Mr. Taylor attempted to stop the buggy by grabbing bold of one of the front wheels with the result that he was thrown out of the buggy on his bead and left shoulder, being knocked partially unconscious. He maintained his hold up- on the lines pulling the animal against the bank and stopping it, though not until alter he bad been dragged some distance. The children were not hurt in the least and ae soon as the horse stopped climbed ont of the carriage aud went for assistance for their father. The men who responded found him unconecious, badly cat and bruised and his left arm paralyzed from the fall he sustained and being dragged npon it along the stony road. He was taken home and put under a dootor’s care with the result that he is now about as good & ! man as ever. mr n— THE BAsgET SHOP. —Most everybody in Bellefonte has heard of The Basket Shop being conducted by Miss Mary Blanchard, at the Blanchard home on east Lion street, but few people realize that it is becoming quite an industry. When it was started several years ago it was conducted by Misses Blanchard and Merriman, with one or two assistants. They made their own baskets and when a consignment was ship- ped toa distant city they went along to personally superintend the sale thereof. In this way they not only disposed of their baskets but succeeded in acquiring such a reputation and demand for them that large department stores are now only too williog to take them on commission. In fact the fame of The Baskets Shop bas spread far and wide and its outpat is sent to many cities and States, one consignment being only recently shipped to Wisconsin. Fil- teen people, all women, are now regularly employed in the shop and their original rooms in the Blanchard residence are not large enough to accommodate all she work- ing foroce,and this week the Blanobard barn is being fitted up as a convenient work- shop for the dyeing department of The Basket Shop. If it continues to grow in the futare as it bas in she past it will not be many years until The Basket Shop will be a hig industry in Bellefonte. ———— AY eemrm— — T. Clayton Brown has always enjoy- ed an enviable reputation as a fisherman bus bis luck is evidently deserting him.

Strawn booked one that be imagiued was balf as long as bis rod but it got away. Brown hooked three but they all got away, although to do so the biggest one was compelled to take part of the line with is.
