She sustained a very bad cut on the right side of her forehead while her right shoulder was badly injured, but no bones broken. She was at once taken to the hospital for treatment and her condition late yester- day was quite serious. “is not known. A RAILROAD RUMOR.—A somewhat in- to Snow Shoe, Bellefonte. so ago this question was discussed with the present system of combination freight and passenger trains over the Snow Shoe railroad, a kind of rail- road that is discountenanced by the present railroad laws. Such a change would not affect the train time here, but would make the Shoe branch as the type of engine now in use on the former would not haul the train up the mountain. In pub- lishing the rumor .the WATCHMAN gives it for what it is worth without vouching for the truth of it. > — ONN FURNACE STACK IS DOWN.—The 153 ft. stack at the old Bellefonte furnace that has held its head high in the heav- ens since 1887 went down with a crash yesterday afternoon at 3:20 and all that remains is a pile of twisted and battered boiler iron filled with thousands of brick. The fall was a beautiful sight as the tall structure seemed to fall so slowly and did not buckle, though when very near the ground it broke in two in the middle. . It was a simple matter to throw it. A cable attached about half-way to the top ran to a dinkey-engine on the ground and a light blast blew out the one side of the foundation under the stack. This done the engineer gave a blast of the whistle, opened the throttle, the cable tightened and the stately tower wavered just an instant and then fell with a great crash and immense clouds of dust, near- ly in the spot that had been planned to have it fall on. This ended the most visible monument to one of Bellefonte’s old-time industries and the first one of the only two blast furnace stacks we ever had. OIL PROSPECTORS HOPEFUL.—The oil prospectors down in Haines township are bubbling over with enthusiasm over the outlook for ‘a rich strike. Early this week they succeeded in penetrating the stubborn sand bed that had proved such a bug-bear to them for weeks on account of its hardness. They are now in a strata of the Bradford sand and feel con- fident that they will soon strike oil, and that a shot will bring forth a flow of that commodity from the bowels of the earth in a sufficient quantity to put all the stockholders in the millionaire class. What a startling departure that would be for staid old Brush valley, whose resi- dents for over a hundred years have thought of nothing else but tilling the and turning out more good Democrats to a square mile than any other section of Centre county. i WILLIAMS FAMILY REUNION.—The very threatening weather of last Saturday in- terfered somewhat with the attendance at the Williams family annual reunion in John Q. Miles’ grove near Martha, but notwithstanding this fact the crowd present was estimated at five hundred or over. There were the usual speeches by members of the clan and the re-election of all the old officers. As this reunion is the one big gathering held in upper Bald Eagle valley during the season it was at- tended by almost every man who is a candidate for office in Centre county. In fact they and their boosting friends were the most conspicuous element pres- ent. The gathering was brought to a precipitate close by the hard rain storm ly after five oclock in the evening. L O. O. F. PicNiC.—The various I. O, O. F. Lodges of Centre county will hold their annual picnic and reunion at Hun- ter’s park, on the Bellefonte Central rail- road, on Monday, September 6th (Labor day), under the auspices of the Belle- fonte and State College Lodges. There will be plenty of music and a big pro- gram of sports which will include a ball game between two of the denominational teams of State College. Special trains will be arranged for in order to handle any sized crowd that may attend. The gathering will be in the shape of a bas- ket picnic and the public is invited. To Doc OWNERS.—Dogs may be train- ed on the small game of the State from September first to March first, next fol- ling, Sundays excluded, so long as such their master, and do no harm or injure to the game pursued. This enables dog owners to train their dogs within the scope of the law. ——A midnight prowler is making him- self obnoxious to residents of the south- ern part of the West ward and Bush’s Addition, his last appearance being on Monday night. soil, raising big crops of grain and fruit, | rumor is that the Lewisburg and Tyrone : train will be run through from Sunbury | well known in Bellefonte and frequently instead of stopping at visits here.

Next Tuesday, August 31st, will be the last day on which candidates for county, borough and township offices can file their papers of nomination. ——The political campaign in Centre county is warning up but that need make no difference with your attendance at the Scenic. During the hour or two you spend there you will be able to forget politics and all your other cares and wor- ries in your enthusiasm over. the pictures shown. Four reels and upwards every evening. Everything new and up-to-date. the most popular motion picture show in Bellefonte and its large patronage proves it. ——Mrs. Bert Harker and her mother, Mrs. Fannie Shultz, came down from Johnsonburg last Friday and have been busy this week preparing for a sale of most of Mrs. Shultz’s household furni- ture, which will take place today. Mrs. Shultz will furnish a room in Miss Owen’s house on Howard street and spend her time there and with her daugh- ter. The McQuistion house she is va- cating on west High street will be taken on September first by Miss Kate Shreffler and her mother. —The Special committee of borough council and superintendent H. J. Thomp- son, of the State-Centre Electric compa- ny, had quite a lengthy conference on Monday evening over the contract for the new system of street lighting. There are many minor details to consider and various specifications to be embodied in the contract that it requires very care- ful consideration by both sides to get it into proper shape for presenting to coun- cil for approval, but it is the purpose of both the committee and superintendent Thompson to have everything complete by next meeting night. —-The report circulated last week that the prisoners at the new penitentiary had gone on a strike and refused to work on the new buildings is incr rect. The men all work where they are put and appear satisfied with their lot. But their labor has not been sufficient to keep the large force of carpenters busy and it is neces- sary for a time at least to keep on a force of other laborers; especially as it is the desire of warden John Francies to push the buildings now under course of erection to an early completion in order to have adequate housing facilities for the prisoners who have been taken there this summer. BO een —Rev. George E. Hawes will preach his final sermon in the Bellefonte Pres- byterian church on Sunday, September 12th.

F. Miller and from there marched to the home of Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Fry, literally taking it by storm, like the Germans have been taking the Russian forts. The meaning of this in-rush of people was a surprise celebration of Mrs. Fry's birthday anni- versary. It took Mrs. Fry some time to realize the meaning of such an onslaught of friends, but when she did she rose to the occasion gracefully, like the good hostess that she is. The invaders took well filled baskets of good things to eat aswell as many beautiful and useful presents. The Corl orchestra was pres- ents and furnished the music for a most delightful and entertaining gathering, On leaving all wished Mrs. Fry many more anniversaries. Big features a speciality. The Scenic is —On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs J. F. Garthoff celebrated their thirtieth wed- ding anniversary at their home In Rey- nolds avenue by entertaining a houseful of friends and neighbors.
