of ten per cent. every year held so that
the accumulation amounted to $1,000

total of $3,575. Mr. Beck's death being
the result of accidentally running a tack
into his thumb, causing blood poisoning,
the company did not contest the claim.

0ld Home Week a Pronounced Success. |
Two Thousand ‘‘Old Homers’’ Back. Fifty Thousand At-
tend Big Celebration.
On the evening of March 3rd seven
enterprising young business men of Belle-
fonte, namely: A. G. Morris Jr. Lewis
Daggett, Hassell Montgomery, Donald S.
Wallace, Robert S. Walker, William H.
Brouse and Harry Ruhl, met at the Bush
house to discuss the feasibility of getting
up a big demonstration for the Fourth of
July. Each young man contributed fifty
cents, purchased postal cards, had them
printed with an invitation calling a meet-
ing at the court house on Wednesday
evening, March 24th, and that was the
beginning of the movement which ended
last week in the blaze and glory of the
Centre county Old Home week celebra-
tion; a gathering the like of which has
never been seen in any town the size of
Bellefonte in all Pennsylvania. In fact
so assiduously and earnestly was the
work of every person connected with the
association performed that the celebration
far exceeded the expectations of the most
enthusiastic, and brought back to Belle-
fonte and Centre county from fifteen hun-
dred to two thousand “Old Homers” and
had an aggregate attendance for the week
estimated at close to fifty thousand peo-
ple:
THE DECORATIONS MAGNIFICENT.
Bellefonte never looked more inviting
than it did for last week’s celebration.
The town was clean and had been fresh-
ened up with paint wherever needed. In
addition, the decorations were on an
elaborate scale; the street decorations
showing off especially beautiful at night,
when the thousands of electric lights
seemed to form a regular canopy over
High and Allegheny streets from Howard
to Bishop. All business places and many
private residences also bore ample evi-
dence of the decorators skill.
INFLUX OF ‘OLD HOMERS.”
Old Homers began to gather about the
middle of week before last and every
train brought its quota of guests until
Friday and Saturday when the influx
reached its height. Of course old Cen-
tre countians continued coming in until
the beginning of the week and there
were few homes in Bellefonte that did
not have their quota.
OFFICIAL OPENING.
The celebration was formally started
at 9.30 o'clock on Friday morning, July
2nd, when Our Boys band of Milesburg
gave a concert in the Diamond. Rain
interfered with the official opening exer-
cises in the Diamond and they were held
in the court house. Dr. E. H. Yocum
made the opening prayer after which
burgess Edmund Blanchard, in a brief
but well worded speech, extended an of-
ficial welcome to Bellefonte’s guests and
metaphorically gave them the key of the
town. Col. H. S. Taylor was introduced
and - spoke for the citizens of Cen-
tre county. The Colonel's address was
highly appreciated by all who heard him.
Friday evening a public reception was
held at the residence of Burgess and Mrs.
Edmund Blanchard, but a hard rain fall-
ing at the time made the attendance lim-
ited, but those who were willing to brave
the elements were fully repaid in the
cordial reception extended.
THE AERIAL HOWARDS.
The first surprise the public received of
what the association had provided in the
way of free attractions was Friday even-
ing when the Aerial Howards gave their
pyrotechnical high wire bicycle and
trapeze act from the Temple Court to
the Brockerhoff house. The perform-
ance in itself was daring enough but the
climax came when the fireworks display
was set off toward the end of their act.
It was a brilliant and beautiful sight,
and no doubt had much to do with draw-
ing the crowds on succeeding days, as
every evening they performed thousands
crowded the Diamond and Allegheny
street to see them.
ATHLETICS SPOILED BY RAIN.
Saturday was to have been athletic
day and Dr. R. C. Weston had arranged
a good program of various sports but it
rained frequently during the day and it
was impossible to pull off a single event,
Rain also interfered with Saturday
night’s program. :
SUNDAY’S SERVICES.
The church services on Sunday were
just as given in the program published in
the WATCHMAN two weeks ago. At 2.30
o'clock Sunday afternoon the Tyrone
P. R.R. band gave a half hour concert
on the band stand in the court house
yard, and at three o’clock a union meet-
ing was held. Dr. George E. Hawes pre-
sided and made a brief talk on the
church history of Bellefonte. He was
followed with brief talks by Rev. Frank
Wetzel, Dr. M. K. Foster and Rev. George
E. Emenhizer. At the close of the ser-
vices the band continued its comcert.
Another concert by the band was given
in the evening.
A BIG CROWD ON MONDAY.
While the weather on Sunday was de-
lightful a hard rain fell Sunday night
and Monday morning and there were
grave fears that it would spoil the at-
tendance that day. And perhaps hun-
weather but as it was the Monday crowd
dreds were kept away by the inauspicious |’
A Complete Account of the Greatest Gathering Ever Held in Bellefonte. Every Part
of the Big Program Carried Out to the Letter.
With Big Free Attractions.
Vast Crowds Pleased
was the biggest ever gathered in Belle-
fonte. The streets were literally packed
and while it was difficult to estimate the
number, it was placed at from fifteen to
eighteen thousand. Seven bands were
present and they all were very liberal
with their music. In fact it can be said
that this was a characteristic of all the
bands here during the week. The good
nature of the crowd seemed to be infec-
tious and the band caught the spirit and
gave it forth in inspiring strains of music.
SENATOR PENROSE’S ADDRESS.
A public meeting was held in the Dia-
mond promptly at 10 o'clock on Monday
morning. Burgess Blanchard presided
and introduced Major Robert A. Cassidy,
of Canton, Ohio, who as an old Centre
countian, told how he appreciated the
privilege of thus extending a public greet-
ing to his old-time friends. He then in-
troduced Senator Penrose.
The Senator reviewed briefly the ear-
ly history of Centre county, talked of its
natural resources, and of the eminent
men it had given to the country while
yet in its infancy. He paid a tribute to
its three Governors and the ready re-
sponse of its citizens every time there
was a call for soldiers to defend the
sanctity of the Union. He also spoke of
the educational work of The Pennsylva-
nia State College and pledged fealty to it
as long as he lived.
CIVIC AND FIREMEN’S PARADE.

speech occurred the civic and firemen’s

FRATERNAL PARADE TUESDAY.
While the crowd on Tuesday was not
nearly as large as on Monday it is esti-
mated that from eight to ten thousand
people came in by train and autoes. The
first thrill of the morning came at ten
o’clock when aviator J. E. Richter made
his first flight from Beaver field. He
circled over the town two or three times
as gracefully as a bird, landing on the
aviation field without a mishap.

eleven o'clock. J. Will Conley was chief

CHILD BADLY BURNED.—On Tuesday
evening a number of boys of east Lamb
street were playing with gasoline in the
stable on the Noll property occupied by
Mr. and Mrs. Ferd Beezer, when there |
was an unexpected explosion which set:

little son of Mr. and Mrs. Beezer. Mac.
