CoLp WEATHER RECORDS BROKEN.— The cold wave which swept over Penn- sylvania the latter part of last week made a record for cold weather that taxed the memory of the “oldest inhabitants” to conjure up any former period to compare with it. The blizzard started with a six inch fall of snow Thursday night and Friday. It continued growing colder and colder during the latter day and night and by Saturday morning there were thermometers in Bellefonte which regis- tered as low as 32 degrees below zero. Hon. Fred Kurtz's government register- ing thermometer showed a mean temper- ature of 22 degrees below and the same temperature was recorded at The Penn- sylvania State College station. At Pleas- ant Gap, Unionville and Snow Shoe the mercury dropped to 40 degrees beloiv. The sun came out Saturday morning bright and unclouded and it looked as if the cold spell had been broken but at that the temperat re did not rise much above zero during the middle of the day and late in the afternoon the frost in the air warned suffering humanity that they were in for another night of it. By sev- en o'clock Saturday evening it was 10 degrees below zero and at eleven o'clock it was down to 20. Sunday morning was within two degrees as cold as Saturday morning and it continued cold during the entire day, but that night it moderated and by Monday morning the weather was such that a person could venture out without fear of being frost-bitten. Naturally, with such extreme cold there was considerable suffering, and it was not confined to the poor alone. Those who live in steam-heated houses got their share of it, too, as not one in a doz- en was comfortable; and this notwith- standing the fact that nine big boilers were kept going at the steam heating plant, each carrying eighty pounds of steam. A number of people had frost- bitten ears and fingers and frozen feet, but none very seriously. One of the worst things to contend with was frozen water pipes and as these were found in about one-third of the houses in town, the plumbers naturally reaped a harvest. A broken rail, caused no doubt by the extreme cold, resulted in 2 big freight wreck at Howard on Saturday morning when ten loaded freight cars were piled up and so badly smashed that they were burned as the easiest and quickest way of getting rid of them. The wreck crew of Tyrone and the one from Williamsport were called out and it took them until after dinner to get the track open for traffic, so that there were no trains through on the Bald Eagle until in the afternoon. But then all trains were late on Saturday, the papers and mails miss- ed connection and no mail reached Belle- fonte on Sunday. Even the Western Un- ion Telegraph company had no wire from Friday until Sunday. The following official statement re- garding the cold weather has been receiv- ed from Dr. Wm, Frear, weather observer at The Pennsylvania State College, and can be relied upon as correct: The recent cold spell has} led to many com- parisons of thermometer records for earlier years. The weather observatory in State College is located on the top of a gentle slope and in quiet cold weatherdoes not get as cold as lower lying places subject to a cold air drainage. The mini. mum occurring on the 14th inst. was 17 degrees. The records of the observatory include the years since 1884, In that period there was but one day, February 10th, 1899, when the temp- erature was lower than that of last Saturday, the record then being 20 degrees; and on two days in 1884, January 18th, and February 25th, the temp- erature fell to 17 degrees. The other extremely cold days during this period of 28 years were January Oth, 1904, 15 de. @rees; February 24th, 1889, 14 degrees: 'February 10th, 1888, and February 6th, 1895, 13 degrees; March 5th, 1885, 12 degrees: February 14th, 1905, 11 degrees: and January 24th, 1907, 10 degrees. mm AA ee — BOARD OF TRADE ORGANIZED.—At an enthusiastic meeting of citizens held in the hall of the public building last Thurs- day evening a Board of Trade was or- ganized and just one hundred and three persons signed the membership roll.

The latter was not confirmed and the thing hung fire until the latter part of August when Mr. Williams was nominated and confirmed the same day. He received his commission on September 8th and took hold as postmaster on the 9th. The appointment gave universal satisfaction. Of a most congenial and companiona- ble nature Mr. Williams was a type of man distinct with himself. Honest and upright to the uttermost degree he was strictly conscientious in all his dealings with his fellowmen. Charitable in both his conversation and acts, he never had a harmful word to say about anyone and many a deserving family blessed him for his bounty. He was a member of the Methodist church and a faithful chris- tian gentleman. On November 1st, 1865, he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah McMillen, a native of Huntingdon county, but who spent her girlhood life in the family of Capt. J. A. Hunter, at Stormstown. Four children were the result of this union, | high water which inundated Tyrone and the Warriorsmark valley the latter part of last summer Mr. Morrison was one of a crew who erected a new bridge on the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad near Warriorsmark.
