| AutomoBILE AccipENTs.—On Saturday
i night D. C. Cochrane, chemist at the Col-
lege, and C. E. Shuey, ‘jeweler, were re:
turning home from a trip to Bellefonte
and when about a mile and a-half this
side of Lemont Cochrane, who was driving
his. own car, attempted to pass a car
driven by Harry Resides without signal-
ling for part of the road. He turned out
but got into the ditch and the car zig-
zagged for quite a distance when a wheel
tiew off and the car overturned, throw-
ing both men out. Cochrane escaped
with slight injurles but Shuey lit on his
face and sustained a broken nose, a cut
on the forehead that required seventeen
stitches to close, bad bruises on the face
and a badly sprained wrist. The men
were picked up and taken home by pass-
ing cars.
On Sunday morning Mr. and Mrs.
Milton S. Kern with J. P. Harbold and
Miss Hester McGinley left Bellefonte in
Mr. Kern’s car for a drive to Nittany
mountain.- When they neared the nar-
row gauge railroad of the Whiterock
quarries Mr. Kern looked for a train but
his vision east was cut off by another
car that had just crossed the track and
supposing the way clear he kept on. As
soon as the other car was out of the way
he saw a draft of stone cars being shoved
up the track and within a short distance
of the crossing. It was impossible to
stop and he threw on more power hoping
to clear the crossing but the cars struck
the machine right in front of the rear
wheels. All the occupants of the car
were thrown out and the car shoved
around. Mr. Kern either jumped or was
thrown free of the car, while Mrs. Kern
was partially pinned under the ruins, but
her husband succeeded in getting her
out. Mr. Harbold and Miss McGinley
were also thrown out. Mr. Harbold had
the next to the little finger of his left
hand broken in two places and sustained
a number of bruises. Miss McGinley
was also more or less bruised. Mrs.
Kern was badly bruised on the body and
shaken up while Mr. Kern was badly
bruised on the left hip and leg. Fortu-
nately none of them were seriously in-
jured. The car, however, was badly
wrecked. As evidence of the weight of
the impact two of the stone cars were
overturned and four others derailed. It
was a narrow escape for the entire party
and they are all thankful their injuries
are no worse. :
County Commissioner D. A. Grove's
car was badly wrecked on Sunday even-
ing by a reckless, dare-devil driver. An
automobilist who ran out of gasoline at
Dale's school house went to Mr. Grove’s
home in quest of the liquid fuel. Mr.
Grove had some to spare and his son
Edwin and Malcolm Longwell took a can
of it in the car down to the stranded ma-
chine.
and the two young men were already in
the car to start home when two cars
from State College came dashing along
at a hair-raising speed. The first car
struck the rear end of Grove’s car send-
ing it to the side of the road and spinning
along for a distance of almost one hun-
dred feet where it struck a telephone
pole and was overturned. Both boys
were thrown a distance of twenty feet
and landed on a rock. Young Grove had
one of the bones in his left arm broken
and was badly bruised on the left side.
Young Longwell was badly bruised on the
right side and hip, but so far as known
escaped without any broken bones, but
it was a miracle both were not killed.
The machine was badly wrecked. The
speeding motorists never stopped and as
soon as Mr. Grove got word of the ac-
cident he telephoned to the Bellefonte
police to look out for a machine with the
right fender smashed, but the driver evi-
dently feared arrest and did not come
this way, probably going through to Lock
Haven or Williamsport. As it was too
dark to get the number of the car the
identity of the driver is unknown, but if
he can be discovered no punishment is
too severe for such recklessness.
——A. G. Cramer, as a committee of
one, came over from Clearfield on Mon-
day evening to inspect Bellefonte’s new
High school building. Clearfield is figuring
on the erection of a new $75,000 building
and naturally the school board is anxious
to get the most up-to-date design they
can, as well as get the full benefit of the
money expended. Miss Anna Keichline
has submitted plans for a building and
if he has not already done so J. Robert
Cole will also be invited to submit plans.
But what the Clearfield people most de-
sire is an architect to give them suitable
plans estimated to within their limit and
then supervise the erection of the build-
ing.

——Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball will speak
in the court house on Tuesday evening,
June 15th, at 8 o'clock. Her s 1bject,
“The United States Flag,” should es-
pecially appeal to everybody at this par-
ticular time because of the anxious sea-
son through which our nation is passing.
Mrs. Ball brings with her a number of
flags illustrating the development of our
national emblem which she will display
during the evening. The audience will
be the guests of the Bellefonte Chapter
D. A. R,, so no charge for admission will
be made. Seats will be reserved for the
G. A. R. and all other soldiers. The pub-
lic is cordially invited to be present.

——One of the results of the Good
Roads day was the repair of Bishop street
from Allegheny to Spring. The work
that was started that day has been com-
pleted by the borough and there will be
i
some time to come.
The gas had been transferred’
no mud holes on that thoroughfare for
——Last Saturday evening justice of
the peace W. H. Musser got a bad fail
down two steps, which lead from the
bathroom to the hall in the home he
now occupies. on east Howard street.
While no bones were broken he was
badly bruised and it is feared some of the
ligaments in his leg are torn. As he is
not as young as he used to be it is feared
his injuries may house him up for some
days.
—You don’t have to stay away from
the Scenic because the weather is a little
warm. Every arrangement has been
made to have the room as comfortable
you forget all about the heat in your in-
terest in the motion pictures. Manager
T. Clayton Brown always makes it a
point to have pictures that his audience
will watch from beginning tojfend, no
slow-going, sleepy affairs. That’s what
you see at the Scenic.

——The Centre county association of
Philadelphia in sending out card invita-
tions for their twelfth annual basket pic-
nic at Belmont Mansion, Fairmount park,
on Saturday, June 19th, states that the
third Saturday in June has been select-
ed and “that will give you time to get
rested up so you can getoff to Bellefonte.
Badges are being prepared for members
attending Old Home week and can be
secured at the picnic,” if proper notifica-
tion be given the secretary.
——Work was begun this week on the
erection of the new Bald Eagle and Nit-
tany valley Presbyterian church at. Mill
Hall to take the place of the one destroy-
ed by fire last summer. Miss Anna
Keichline, Bellefonte’s talented young
woman architect, made the design and
drawings for the new church and will
oversee its construction. The plans pro-
vide for a brick edifice with stone trim -
mings and will cost about $10,000. It is
to be completed and ready for occupancy
by early autumn. :
——A number of the older students of
the Pine Grove Mills Academy met in
"Squire Musser’s office on Tuesday even-
ing to make preliminary arrangements
for a reunion this year, and it was decid-
ed to hold the same in Bellefonte on
Tuesday, July 6th, during the Centre
county Old Home week. Further details
will be worked out and published next
week. In the meantime Capt. W. H.
Fry, of Pine Grove Mills, would like to
hear from all old students who are inter-
ested and will probably attend.
,——John Sebring Jr., made a trip to
Flint, Mich., the latter part of last week
‘where he purchased a car load of Mitch-
ell cars, for which he has taken the
agency, having given up the agency for
the Overland car. Among the cars
purchased is the Mitchell Six which will
be given away the evening of the last
day of the Centre county Old Home
week. Itis a handsome, up-to-date car
in every particular, and one that any-
body in Centre county who fs furtunate
enough to get it, can feel proud of.

——The executive committee of the
Central Pennsylvania district Firemen’s
associatiation met in Philipsburg last
Thursday and selected August 26th and
27th as the dates for holding the annual
firemen’s convention in that city. The
Philipsburg firemen are enthusiastic in
planning arrangements for the conven-
tion and anticipate having one of the
best gatherings in a number of years.
One innovation will be introduced by the
Johnsonburg and Lindsay fire companies,
which will camp at Philipsburg for an
entire week.
—1Up to the present time ho trace
has been secured of J ohn Behrer, the Buf-
falo Run farmer and stock dealer who
mysteriously disappeared ‘from Centre
county on April 8th. While some people
incline to the belief that he made his
way to Canada, it is merely a supposition
as they have nothing tangible to support
any such contention. Had the earth
suddenly opened and swallowed him
whole, then closed up again, his disap-
pearance could not have been any more
complete than it appears to be now.
And ‘so far none of his friends seem to
have any suspicion of foul play.

——A number of Bellefonters attended
the summer opening of the Fairbrook
Country club at Pennsylvania Furnace
last Friday. Fully one hundred members
and guests were present from Tyrone,
Altoona, Huntingdon and Bellefonte, The
Fairbrook club is located in the old Lyon
homestead, one of the most beautiful in
that valley, and the members have also
constructed an artificial lake for boating.
They have leased from twelve to fifteen
miles of Spruce creek as a fishing pre-
serve and are conserving their trout sup-
ply by making ten the limit of a day’s
catch. And that it is having its results
is proven in the allégation of members
that it is no trouble to catch the limit
any day within an hour. In fact the
story was told at the club on Friday that
in the meadows of the old Oliver farm,
where there is a succession of deep pools,
the trout are so numerous and large that
a few days previous several of the farm-
er’s lambs wandered down to the stream
to slake their thirst with the sparkling
water and while they were about it trout
jumped out of the water, grabbed the
lambs by the nose and pulled them into
the creek with their heads under water,
drowning them. The farmer is now
considering a suit for damages. At least,
that is one of the fishing stories told at
the club.

OLp HOME WEEK POTPOURL— At a
meeting of the Old Home week associa-
tion on Tuesday evening chairman
Blanchard stated that arrangements had
been made to secure the rooms in the
Crider stone building, at one time oc-
cupied by Dr. Harris as offices, as a
permanent headquarters for the asso-
ciation. These will probably be open-
ed early next week with G. Wash Rees
as resident secretary and a competent
stenographer in charge. All matters
pertaining to the Old Home week can be
transacted there free of charge. The
rooms will also be kept open during Old
Home week.
Mr. Blanchard also reported that a
new 1916 model Mitchell car had been
purchased and would be given away on
the evening of the last day of Old Home
week. ;
John J. Bower reported that he had
sent out invitations to thirty-six fire com-
panies to take part in the firemens’
parade on Monday, July 5th, but had not
had time to hear from any of them yet.
He presented a list of prizes which he
suggested as being the proper induce-
ment to offer. .
J. Frank Smith, as chairman of the
Music committee, stated that arrange-
ments had been made to have the Phil-
ipsburg band here two or three days; the
Tyrone P. R. R. band for concert work;
Our Boys band of Milesburg, and bands
from Aaronsburg, Boalsburg, State Col-
lege, Howard and the Coleville band, on
various days, while the I. O. O. F. band
from the Sunbury orphanage will be here
from Sunday until Thursday ‘morning.
Dr. R. L. Weston stated that the ath-
letic events he expects to pull off on Sat-
urday, July 3rd, are rounding into shape,
though he would like to have the young
men of Bellefonte show the same inter-
est as is shown by the youth of other
towns. In Unionville sixteen young men
are now in training; Blanchard has
twenty, while Snow Shoe and State Col-
‘lege have a number. Dr. Weston said he
had arranged for an exhibition with the
national champion cross country runner
and with the one legged jumper, who has
a record of seven feet. Tennis tourna-
ments will be held and other athletic
events.
But the time is drawing close and if
Bellefonters want a real big Old Home
week with something doing all the time,
considerable hard work remains to be
done, and it behooves one and all to get
busy now. ~
