A big program has been arranged to keep thé crowd busy all day. ——DMoving picture films of the Eu- ropean war by the Pathe company have reached this country and are now being put out on the various circuits. Belle- fonters will hardly have an opportunity of seeing these pictures, as neither of the moving picture theatres here show the Pathe product, notwithstanding the fact that it is the most interesting chronicle of daily events given to the public. .—Strange dogs got among Dr. Kirk's flock of lambs on Saturday night, killed two lambs, mangled another one so bad- ly it had to be killed and hurt three oth- ers. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Kirk occupy the doctor’s tarm, which is located south of Bellefonte, but they did not hear any disturbance among the lambs and were not aware of the havoc wrought until Sunday morning. Therefore they have no idea whose dogs they were. ~—Theodore Davis Boal, of Boals- burg, has arranged to place the two houses he and his family possess in southern France at the disposal of the Red Cross organization for hospitals for wounded soldiers.

In the Midst of a Thrillingly Beautiful Flight the Elevator on his Machine Broke Lose and he Plunged to Earth, Escaping with only Serious Bruises. "The Machine is a Total Wreck. Aviator Bonney is in the Bellefonte hospital and his $3000.00 French - Mono- piane is a mass of wreckage on top of Half Moon hill, all because a slender wire holding the elevator of his machine gave way when he was 1200 feet in the air. His flight yesterday started most auspiciously. Exactly at 4.15 he sped away | from the field immediately west of Thomas Beaver’s home and had not run more | than a hundred yards until he began to rise exactly like a bird. High over Belle- fonte he flew directly west. of the mountains he turned and swooped When he had reached an altitude of about the height toward the fair grounds. | PRISONERS PLAN To ESCAPE. —On Wed- | Mrs, Cyrus Labe has returned from a trip ‘to | i nesday ot last week chief of police Har- | ry Dukeman was given a tip that John | Bair and Pasquale Carmillo, the two pris- | | oners who made a get-away from the | penitentiary about six weeks ago, were ! | caught the next day and are now in the | Centre county jail, had planned a jail de- | ' livery. which included an assault on the | i i sheriff or deputy. ! sheriff C.

LARGE CROWDS ATTEND CENTRE COUN- TY FAIR.— With splendid weather large crowds have been in attendance at the Centre county fair this week and in every way the exhibition has been a big- ger success this year than ever before. Wednesday's actual paid admissions were a little less than last year and yesterday’s crowd was about the usual turnout for Thursday. As evidence of the fair proper is the fact that the various exhibitions this year total 2602, as against two thousanc in former years. The stock exhibit in cludes a number of fine horses, among which is George Musser’s splendid stock from Boggs township; cows with suck- ing calves, young cattle, sheep and hogs, all high grade. The poultry exhibit while perhaps not as large as in some former years, includes fine specimens of turkeys, geese, ducks and chickens. There are about five hundred exhibits of fruit and farm produce, and while the earliness of the season accounts for the scarcity of rosy cheeked apples, the specimens on display are good examples of the kind of fruit now grown in Centre county. This exhibit is in charge of Mr. Samuel Decker and he knows how to ar- range it to show off to advantage. Isaac Underwood has an interesting exhibit of farm machinery while the Pot- ter-Hoy Hardware company and Miller’s stove store have a complete exhibit of ranges, stoves, etc. M. C. Gephart has his usual exhibit of pianos and musical instruments. One exhibit which is attracting unusu- al attention in the main building is the parcel post exhibit by the Bellefonte postoffice. They not only show what can be sent by parcel post but crates for packing eggs and breakable stuff and how to pack various articles of merchan- dise. Assistant postmaster William Chambers has charge of the exhibit and willingly explains everything. Of course the woman’s department in- cludes «ll kinds of plain and fancy sew- ing, knitting and crocheting, bread, cakes, pies, jellies, preserves, and everything good to eat. The children’s department this year is so large that it had to be di- vided into two sections in order to han- dle it expeditiously. The merry-go-round on the Midway with several shows make up the side at- tracticns and the concerts by Our Boys band of Milesburg on Wednesday and the Aaronsburg band yesterday were much appreciated by the crowd. The racing this year far outclasses anything ever seen at the fair. There is a string of thirty-four horses, including some of the best in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and southern New York and rvery race has been stubbornly contested. The 2.12 event could not be finished on Wed- nesday on account of darkness and after running four heats it was continued un- til yesterday. The 2.30 event was won by Minaqua Boy, owned by Thomas Rank, of Patterson, N. J. The summa- ries of Wednesday's races are as follows: 2.12 trot and pace, purse $300.

In an otherwise splendid day the one great disappointment of Wednesday was the failure of the air ship to fly. All the attractions usually seen at the fair were there, and the racing was of a far higher class than had ever before been seen at a Centre county fair but most of the peo- ple forgot that in their disappointment that the one big new feature had not materialized. It was a disappointment to every one, as much to the fair associ- ation, and Mr. Bonney, the aviator, as to the spectators, but it couldn’t be helped. While he was tuning up his motor early inthe afternoon preparatory to the flight the bolts that hold the propeller blades on the end of the crank shaft. sheared off. Immediately, he had new ones made at the C.R. R. of Pa. shops and started to repair the damage. When the propeller was again bolted in place it *was found that it was just a trifle out of plumb and that threw the engine out of balance so far that it would not run fast enough. This required readjustments of the carbureter that took up the time un- til it was too late to make a start. We have made this statement in do- tail because of the popular impression that all flying machines and aviators are fakes. We heard the charge hurled at Mr. Bonney on the grounds Wednesday but he appeared to be too much of a gentleman to reply to such uncalled for remarks. The WATCHMAN knows that he is a splendid aviator, it knows that last week he made startling flights at Ebensburg and it also knows that he lost just one-third of his contract price be- cause of the mishap to his machine on Wednesday. He came here under a con- tract to bear his own expenses and re- ceive so much per flight. No fly no pay. Therefor it ought to be clear that he had everything to lose and nothing .to gain by not going up on Wednesday. . The machine he uses is a French mon- oplane, one of the very few of its type, in America and the same type as the smaller machines used for reconnoitering by the French army aviation corps. It front instead of being a propeller on the rear. It carries only one person and weighs, in flight, about 1200 pounds. Its maximum velocity is about 90 miles per hour. ——Mrs. Alice Hockenberry and her family of Quaker Hill, moved to State College his week. Mrs. Hockenberry will take charge of a house for roomers. PICNICKERS AT BOALSBURG.—The old home gathering in the McFarlane grove at Boalsburg last Thursday was largely attended and a very pleasant day for all. After the big dinner a meeting was held which was presided over by Austin Dale. H. B. Harrison made an address of wel- come and the principal speech was made by Clement Dale Esq. He gave a sketch of the history of Boalsburg beginning about the year 1810 when there were but four houses in the town. Ten years later a postoffice was established there with Jacob Boal as postmaster, and from that tine on Boalsburg was recognized as one of the important towns of Penns- valley. Other speakers at the gathering were Dr. C. T. Aikens, of Selinsgrove, and Col. D. F. Fortney, of Bellefonte. A male quartette furnished music for the gathering and a ball game between State College and Boalsburg resulted in a tie. HARRY MANN IN AUTOMOBILE WRECK. —On Thursday afternoon of last week Harry Mann, of Milesburg, !drove to Bellefonte in his Buick car and being somewhat in a hurry on his return trip he was speeding down the state road at from twenty-five to thirty miles an hour. At the crossing of the American Lime and Stone company’s branch railroad into the Armor gap quarries it is a little rough and when he struck the railroad the front of the car bounced from the ground and the wheels turned sharply to the left. In attempting to avoid hitting a telephone pole Mann accidentally bumped into a concrete marker alongside of the road with the result that the car turned turtle and landed in the old canal. Fortunately the rear end landed against a tree and although Mann was underneath there was room enough for him to crawl out, and his only injury was a slight scratch on one of his fingers. But the car was a complete wreck. One wheel was smash- ed, the springs broken, windshield, hood and fenders crushed, and in fact the whole machine so badly wrecked ‘that it will have to be almost entirely rebuilt to be of service, % — AAD eee.

Macker was released on | Saturday night on the order of United { States district court judge Charles B. | Witmer. Mr. Macker’s release was se- cured through the efforts of his attorney, Clement Dale Esq, who presented to | Judge Witmer sworn statements and affi- | davits that Mr. Macker had no money | and was unable to raise any, and conse- : in bankruptcy, H. C. Quigley Esg., the’ sum of $700, which he was ordered to do, | and for the failure of which he was held | | in contempt and sent to jail. Judge Witmer gave the papers careful ! consideration and on Friday wrote out his decree absolving Mr. Macker from further contempt. he and his son motored to Bellefonte from Sunbury, arriving between eight and nine o'clock in the evening. A més- senger was sent to Mr. Dale’s home with the decree and order for Mr. Mack- er’s release and although it was then past nine o'clock Mr. Dale hurried to the jail and secured Mr. Macker’s release the same evening. The decree absolves Mr. ‘Macker from any further obligations, even to costs, and thus endeth the case. County W. C. T. U. CONVENTION.— The Centre county W. C. T.
