BiG CROWDS AT GRANGE ENCAMPMENT.
—The weather man has favored “the
Grangers this week and as a result they
have had an exceptionally good attend-
ance at their forty-first annual gathering
at Grange park, Centre Hall. The picnic
was informally opened on Saturday when
the inrush of tenters looked like a field
army pitching camp. There are in the
neighborhood of three hundred tents on
the field and every one was taken and a
few campers were compelled to furnish
their own tents.
Harvest Home services were held on
Sunday afternoon at which time the ser-
mon was preached by Dr. W. H. Schuy-
ler. of Centre Hall. The combined choirs
of the Centre Hall churches furnished
the music. The crowd on Sunday was
quite large and very orderly.
Monday was given over entirely to the
fixing up of exhibits. The farm machin-
ery and implement exhibit this year
covers more ground and is probably the
largest ever seen at the encampment. It
includes about all the modern farm ma-
chinery, buggies and wagons needed on
a farm.
The building given over to the exhibit
of fruit and farm produce was crowded
as never before. Prof. W. A. Krise is in
charge of this department and when a
WATCHMAN reporter visited the building
on Tuesday afternoon he and an assist-
ant were literally swamped in work, tak-
ing in, labelling and properly displaying
the different kinds of fruit, grain, vege-
tables, etc.
The Pennsylvania State College has its
usual exhibit of products of the College
farms, ferns, etc., while the ladies have
a nice display of fancy work, plain sew-
ing, etc.
There is the usual number of booths,
eating stands, merry-go-around, etc.,
along the Pike, but no gambling devices
of any kind, not even the customary pad-
dle wheels.
The encampment proper was opened
on Tuesday morning with addresses in
the auditorium by members of the coun-
ty Grange. Both the Boalsburg and
Millheim bands were there to furnish
music, and gave frequent concerts dur-
ing the day.
Tuesday afternoon was given over to
the Washington party, and Dr. M. J.
Locke presided at the meeting which
was held in the auditorium at 1.30
oclock. He first introduced Guy B.
Mayo, candidate for Congress, who told
his audience that the only way to down
Penroseism was to elect men to Congress
who were absolutely opposed to him.
Alonzo S. Moulthrop, candidate for State
Senator, spoke briefly and confined his
remarks principally to promises as to
what he would do for State College if
elected.
The big attraction of the afternoon,
naturally, was the appearance of Hon.
Gifford Pinchott, the Washington party
candidate for United States Senator. It
being his first public appearance in Cen-
tre county an effort was made to give
him a splendid greeting, but at that the
auditorium was not over half filled, and
almost fifty per cent. of the audience
were women. Mr. Pinchott talked about
twenty minutes, vigorously denouncing
Penrose and the methods of the Republi-
can party machine. While not a brilliant
orator he is rather an interesting speaker
and was listened to with close attention.
Wednesday was Democratic day but
aside from that there were other very
prominent visitors. One of these was
Daniel Lubin, a former Californian but
now a resident United States agent at
the Institute of Agriculture, Rome, Italy.
He is now in this country on a vacation
and accepted an invitation to be present
at the encampment and make a speech
01 Wednesday morning. The entire exec-
utive committee of the State Grange
were also present on Wednesday, some
of whom addressed the audience at the
morning session.
By noon there was a crowd of 5,000
people on the grounds and it did not re-
quire the music of the Aaronsburg band
to marshall the crowd together for the
Democratic meeting in the auditorium at
1.30 o'clock, for when the hour arrived
the building was filled and standing room
was at a premium. County chairman
Arthur B. Lee presided over the meeting
and the principal speakers were Hon. A.
’
LMitchell Palmer, candidate for United
States Senator; W. T. Creasy, candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, and Charles N.
Crosby, of Crawford county,candidate for
Congressman-at-Large. Vance C. Mc-
Cormick was not present as he was
summoned back to Harrisburg on Wed-
nesday morning from Lewistown, for a
conference with the Washington party
leaders. Other Democratic candidates
who were present were W. E. Tobias, W.
M. Patterson and D. W. Miller. Mr.
Palmer naturally was the chief attrac-
tion and those who were fortunate
enough to hear him were much pleased
with his address.
During the course of Mr. Palmer’s talk
he charged Penrose with being an ex-
ploiter of child labor and with trying to
involve this country in a war with Mexi-
co so that the Standard Oil Co. could use
the federal government as a power to
grab rich Mexican oil properties. He de-
clared the fight in Pennsylvania to be a
great moral issue and on that, rather
than personalities, he preferred the ver-
dict recorded. After the meeting in the
auditorium there was a levee at the camp
headquarters and an enthusiasm that
makes the future look very hopeful in
Centre county. ;
Yesterday naturally was the big day at
the picnic and it is estimated that any-
: where from eight to ten thousand people
were upon the grounds. The morning
was spent in getting acquainted and in
the afternoon the Republican spellbinders
held forth in the auditorium. County
chairman J. Linn Harris was master of
ceremonies and addresses were made by
Martin G. Brumbaugh, candidate for
Governor; Frank B. McClain; candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, and Henry
Houck, candidate for Secretary of In
ternal Affairs. The speakers had a good
audience and were listened to with close '
attention. Of course the lesser Republi-
can lights were there, but they got little
recognition in the speech-making line.
The picnic will close today with a pub-
sale of all exhibits that the owners see
fit to dispose of. All in all it was a most
successful
management has good reason to feel sat-
isfied with the results.

——Enameled stoves and ranges that
need no blacking and never burn off, at
-Miller’s Hardware store, Bellefonte, Pa.
——The home of John E. Emel, who
lived along the mountain above the
Armor gap quarries of the American
Lime and Stone company, caught fire on
Monday morning and burned to the
ground, with most of the contents. The
fire communicated to the out-buildings,
which were also burned, and finally got
into the forest, burning up and down the
mountain but doing little damage. Mr.
Emel and family are deserving of sym-
pathy, as they lost practically everything
they had.

week after week the year through—the

large patronage it has at all times. The
big program of new pictures every even-

addition manager T. Clayton Brown

fort of all who attend, and insists on good
order at all times.

——Gifford Pinchott, the Washington

Davis Boal. They visited Pleasant Gap
and State College during the forenoon,
attended a meeting at the Grange en-
campment early in the afternoon and ar-
rived in Bellefonte at three o'clock. A
half hour reception was held at the
Brockerhoff house during which time
upwards of one hundred people greeted
the distinguished gentleman. Mr. Pin-
chott made a hrief speech in which he
stated that if his withdrawal from the
ticket would insure the defeat of Pen-
rose he would willingly withdraw. From
Bellefonte the party went to Snow Shoe,
thence to Philipsburg where a mass meet-
ing was held in the evening.

DEMOLITION OF STUDENT'S TRUNKS.—
This has been a busy week on railroads
hereabouts because in addition to the
Granger's picnic at Centre Hall it was the
week for the opening of State College
and all the trains the fore part of the
week were literally swamped with stu-
dents and their baggage. The train com-
ing from Sunbury on Monday morning
carried between 350 and 400 pieces of
baggage. It filled one baggage car and
had upwards of one hundred pieces over.
At the Lemont station the main track
is furthest from the platform so that the
extra baggage was piled out on the side
track. The full car of baggage was cut
from the train and shifted onto the side-
trock. Two freight cars were standing
on the siding near the crossing. Their
brakes were not set, but they were held
in place by a block under one wheel.
The baggage car was shunted against the
two freight cars, which were thus set in
motion and the three cars rolled down the
track and went crashing through the pile
of student’s trunks, creating havoc of a
most destructible kind. Trunks were
smashed and clothes of all descriptions,
shaving sets, revolvers, musical instru-
ments, pictures and everything usually
found in a student’s room was scattered
across the tracks and mixed up general-
ly, so that it was a wise student that
knew his own furnishings. Several men
were kept busy Monday afternoon trying
to straighten things out.
