basket ample provision will be made to

per ou the grounds at a moderate cost. The

you need have no fear in this direction,and
trains will be run at frequent intervals.
Therefsre, take a day off and go to the big
picnic next Taesday.

DEPUTY SHERIFF STROHM INJURED.—
On Wedoesday deputy sheriff James B.
Strobm armed with a bench warrant went
to Tyrone and arrested Peter Bardridge, a
Huuvgarian who at one time worked for the
American Lime and Stone company in this
place, and about a year ago jumped his
bail for his appearance at court here to
answer the charge of assault upon his broth-
er. Mr. Strobm bad no trouble in making
the arrest and as a precautionary measure
handouffed his prisoner and started for
Bellefonte on the train which arrives here
at 8.16 in the evening.
Between Havnah and Port Matilda the
Hungarian asked to have the handcufls
removed as he wanted to go to the toiles.
Mr. Strobm removed the steel bracelet
from one wrist bat stood guard at the door.
The man was desperate, bowever, and
when he came out of the toilet he did so
with a rush, pushing Strohm to one side
and gaining the platform before the latter
got hold of him. On the platform the two
men grappled and after struggling a few
moments both tumbled off the steps while
the train was runnieg twenty miles an
hoar. So far as known the Hungarian was
uninjured and freeing himself from bie
captor made his escape.
Mr. Strohm was unable to get up and
when some of the passengers went to his
aid after the train was brought to a stop it
was found that his right leg was broken
just above the ankle. He was brought to
this place on the train aud taken to the
hospital where the fracture was reduced.
Fortapately he sustained no other injuries
aud as the fracture of bis leg is nos deemed
a very serious one there is no doubt of his
recovery. He was kept at the hospital
until yesterday afternoon when he was
taken on the Lewisburg train to his home
a¢ Centre Hall.
The Hungarian escaped with the baad-
cuffs dangling on one wrist and at this
writing has not been re-captured.
For VETERAN CLUB PICNIC.—A meet.
ing of the executive committee of the Cen.
tre connty Veteran Club was held in the of-
fice of W.H. Musser last Saturday merning.
In the absence of General James A. Bea.
ver, the president, vice president W. H.
Fry, of Pine Grove Mills, presided. Owing
to the fact that there was some question
about getting a suitable place in which to
hold the picnic it was decided to abandon
the plan of having it at Pine Grove Mille
and Grange Park,Centre Hall, was selected
as the place and the date, Tuesday, Sep-
tembep 14th, during the Grange encamp-

WHAT Couxcit Dip.—As Monday
nights meeting of borough council J. C.
present and asked that body to graus them
the towu for that proposed trolley road,
mention of which was made in last week's
WarcuyMaN. The route proposed is from
the public square in Milesbarg up the
state road to the McCoy—Lion furnace,
thence by the tracks of the Central Rail-
road of Pennsylvania company to their sta-
tion in this place, south on Water strees to
High street, up High to Allegheny street,
south to Bishop, west on Bishop to Spriug,
thence north to High and down High to
‘Water street, thence sonth cn Water street
to the Lewisburg railroad and out the road
to the borough line. Av ordinauce covering
the proposition was presented aud coanoil
took the matter under consideration uatil
the next meeting night. In the meantime
Major Richter, of Selinsgrove, is in Belle-
foute and with a corps of helpers is already
at work eurveying the route for the new
road.
Dr. Kirk, chairman of the Water com-
mittee, submitted several estimates for re-
pairing the reservoir so as to effectually
stop all leaks. A wine ioch brick wall
coated with a composition of aspbaltum and
the hottom covered with the same material
would cost from $4 500 to $5,000, while a
$1,000. The matter was held over [lor
farther consideration.
The county commissioners presented a re.
quest to be permitted to terrace the hill
slope on the north and south sides of the
court house out to the gutter and the same
was referred to the Street committee.
The petition presented by G. R. Spigel-
myer and signed by several hundred citi.
zens, asking that an ordinance be passed
prohibiting the sale and use of fireworks
within the borough limits at all times was
favorably acted upon and the borough
golicitor was instructed to prepare an or-
dinauce covering the matter.

THE LoNG DROUGHT BROKEN.~Former
county commissioner Daniel Heckman, of
east Lamb street, can be accredited with
being the best weather prophet in Belle
fonte. Two weeks ago he made the pre-
diction that there would be no rain until
last Sunday but that it would rain then
without fail, basing his prediotion on the
fact that that was the day for ‘‘Mary to
come back ooross the mountain.’ And
true to his prophesy there was no rain until
that time and it did rain then. Bat Son.
day’s rain was only the beginning as since
that we bave bad enough rain to effectually
break the long drought and give all kinds
of vegetation a new lease of lite. On Mou-
day afternoon ove of the worst bail storms
