to Austin Kerns, and other contents.
On Wednesday afternoon Brady

LAST FRIDAY'S STORM.—Centre county
got its portion of the severe wind and
rain storm which was pretty general
throughout the State last Friday after-
noon, but comparatively little damage
was done by the wind, while the rain was
just what the farmers needed to help
along their crops.
One place where the fury of the storm
was manifest was along Fishing creek.
The Quigleys had been encamped there
all week and Dr. Brockerhoff, Harry
Keller and Edmund Blanchard, with Dr.
Ward, of Philadelphia, were invited down
for a breaking up party on Friday even-
ing, as the camp was to be closed on Sat-
urday. They got there just in time for
a good trout supper and while they were
discussing the latter the storm came up.
The first hard blow struck Dr. Brockerhoff
amidships and blew him against Dr. Ward
who tumbled over the refrigerator. The
next blow blew everything off the table
and cleaned about everything that was
loose out of the tent. Realizing the
futility of fighting against the storm
every man remained under the canvas
and clung tenaciously to the tent to keep
it from being blown away. John Curtin
and party were also encamped near the
Quigleys and their tent was blown down
but the men managed to keep it from
sailing away. The women in this party
took refuge in an automobile. During
the storm a large tree was blown down
only a short distance from the Quigley
camp and limbs were torn from trees
like the snapping of a pipe steam. The
fury of the storm lasted but a short time,
but it proved a most effectual breaking-
up for the party. At that, however, when
the storm subsided practically all of the
camping outfits was recovered, and the
greatest damage was broken dishes.
STATE COLLEGE GRADUATE DROWNS IN
Oi. TANK.—William Reid Wiley, of Lan-
caster, a graduate of The Pennsylvania
State College, class of 1911, was drowned
in a seven thousand gallon oil tank at
Pittsfield, Mass, on- Saturday night.
Wiley was an electrical engineer and held
the position of night foreman in the
transformer department of the General
Electric company at Pittsfield. He and
another man were standing on a plank
over the oil tank ready to dip a high
tension “lead” weighing four hundred
pounds, when the plank broke, dropping
both men into the tank which was four-
teen feet deep. The oil was drawn off
as quickly as possible but both men were
dead.
SUMMER COURSE AT STATE COLLEGE.
—Up to noon on Wednesday just 420
young men and women—mostly women—
had registered for the summer course for
teachers at The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege. Last year there were 395 teachers
in attendance so that this year shows an
increase of twenty-five. The course
began on Monday and will close on Fri-
day, August 1st. In addition to the in-
struction by members of the college
faculty prominent educators throughout
the State will lecture on various topics.

stances was that of $125 given the rever-

——The Bellefonte Lodge of Moose
held their fourth anniversary banquet in

master and responses were made by Rev
John Hewitt, Col. H. S. Taylor, A. D.
Tanyer, Robert McMullen and J. Homer

quet there was dancing which kept up
until two o'clock in the morning.
—It will be pleasant news to many of
the old soldiers who read the WATCH-
MAN, as well as to numbers of other
citizens of the county who expect to visit
Gettysburg during the big encampment
there next month, to learn that Capt.
W. B. McCaskey, of the U. S. A. and
personally known to many of them, is
one of the assistants in charge of the
establishment of the big camp with its
twenty miles of streets and that his
friends can locate him at Quartermaster’s
headquarters. His wife, formerly Miss
Edna McClellan, of Beech Creek, a popu-
lar favorite with many of our younger
readers, will make her home, during the
entire encampment, but a short distance
from the captain's headquarters.
While walking along Water street
the other day the writer's attention was
called to the unsightly appezrance of
Spring creek at places where driftwood
had lodged and formed a barrier for all
kinds of refuse. This can be seen at
various places between the High street
bridge and Central Railroad of Pennsyl-
vania depot. Another thing very notice-
able this year is big patches of water
moss that was cleaned out of the dam
above the falls and allowed to float down
the creek on high water, but wherever
a bunch of it lodged it took root and not
only grew but is spreading rapidly. From
present indications it will cover the bed
of the stream in course of time and to
prevent this it ought to be gotten rid of
at once. If the proper borough author-
ities do not know of an effective remedy
they might apply to Dr. H. A. Surface,
state economic zoologist, at Harrisburg,
who could possibly tell them something.
In any event the stream ought to be
cleaned out and kept clean even to old
splash boards.
BELLEFONTE ACADEMY NEWws.—At the
sheriff's foreclosure sale lost Saturday
head master James R. Hughes purchased
all the right, title and interest in the
Bellefonte Academy and the institution
which was founded over one hundred
years ago as a town Academy with the
management vested in a board of trus-
tees has passed into private ownership.
From its foundation the Academy had a
more or less precarious existence until
1868 when Rev. Jamess P. Hughes came
to Beilefonte and took charge of the
same. He was in direct control for thir-
ty years or longer, when his son, James
R. Hughes succeeded as head master.
Through the hard work and untiring
energy of the latter the Academy has
been built into one of the best prepara-
tory schools in the State and its high
standard of education is recognized by
many of the leading colleges. The con-
tinued success of the institution is de-
pendable in a large measure upon its
being under one management and not
subject to the wishes of a board of trus-
tees and this was one of the reasons for
the sale; and no one was more compe: |
tent and entitled to secure possession of
it than James R. Hughes. Extensive |
additions and repairs are now under way
approximately forty
which will cost
thousand dollars and which when com-
pleted will so improve the old Academy
that it will hardly be recognizable as the '
same institution when school opens in|
A full description of what |
will be included in the addition was pub- |
lished in the WATCHMAN some time ago. |
September.
These improvements almost double the
student capacity of the Academy, so that
instead of being crowded with from
seventy to seventy-five boarding students
there will be ample accommodations for
one hundred and twenty-five.
The taking of Hughes field for a site | With Mrs. Yarnell's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- | hart, who will come east
for the plant of the Bellefonte Automo-
bile Manufacturing company naturally
necessitated Mr. Hughes securing anoth-
er place for athletic grounds and on
Tuesday he closed a lease with Col. Ww.
Fred Reynolds for the field at the right
of the road at the upper end of Bishop
street. The lease was made for five
years with an option to buy the land at
the expiration of that time if desired.
The field is 800x375 feet and contains
about eight acres. It is fairly level and |
will require very little work to grade and
put in condition.
Mr. Hughes will secure possession as
soon as the crop is harvested and will
get it in shape for the football season
next fall. One advantage in the location
is that when it is enclosed with the cus-
tomary board fence there will be no
place for outside dead-heads to congre-
gate and watch the game. It will be
either pay and go in or see nothing. Mr.
Hughes will also erect a comfortable
grand-stand with dressing and storage
rooms underneath.
NEW STATE ROAD ROUTES FOR CEN-
TRE COUNTY.—A bill which has just been
amended in the Senate provides for a
number of new state road routes, in ad-
dition to those provided in the original
Sproul state highway act. The bill which
will likely pass, will not go into effect
until June 1st, 1915, the next session of
the Legislature making the appropriation
for maintenance as the present list will
take all the money the State can stand at
present for maintenance. Centre county
will benefit by the following new routes:
From Centre Hall to Mifflinburg, Union
county via Madisonburg and Cowan.
From Philipsburg to Kylertown via
Morrisdale. From Potter's Mills to State
College.
From Reformatory cross roads, Hunt-
ingdon county to Pine Grove Mills, Cen-
tre county, via Petersburg, and Charter
Oak. From Huntingdon to Bellefonte,
Centre county via Spruce Creek and
Stormstown.
