William B. Francis, assault and bat-
tery. Prosecutor, Mary Harris. De-
fendant waived the finding of the grand

STRUCK BY TRAIN.—Miss Mollie Hoffer,
a maiden lady of Centre Hall, was struck
by the 2.15 passenger train at the Centre
Hall station on Monday afternoon and
fortunately escaped fatal injury. She
had been in Will Odenkirk’s store using
the telephone and was on her way back
to the station. She failed to see the
approach of the train and became be-
wildered owing to a number of men
shouting to her to go back and others
telling her to “come on.” She was almost
across the track when the pilot of the
locomotive struck her and threw her be-
tween two express trucks. It was at
first feared she was seriously injured but
this did not prove to be the case. Her
nose was broken and she received one or
two small cuts on the face but no body
bones were broken and she suffered little
from shock. The train was slowing down
for the depot when the accident occurred
which was a very fortunate thing.
EX-EMPLOYEE WANTS DAMAGES. — A
peculiar case is being tried in the Hunt-
ingdon county court this week, being
that of Ora Mothersbaugh against the
Pennsylvania Railroad company to re-
cover damages for the loss of an eye.
Upwards of a year ago Mothersbaugh
was at work on the Bald Eagle Valley
railroad near Mill Hall. In his bill of
particulars he alleges that he was given
a track hammer that was defective. He
walked several miles to report the mat-
ter to the foreman and get a good ham-
mer, but the foreman, he alleges, told
him the hammer was good enough and if
he thought otherwise he could go home.
Mothersbaugh used the hammer, a spawl
broke off and struck him in the eye, re-
sulting in the loss of sight. Since his
recovery Mothersbaugh has been work-
ing in the Tyrone paper mill and his suit
this week is to recover for the loss of his
sight.

MRS. JoHN P. HARRIS HONORED.—At a
regular meeting of the W.C. T. U. on
Thursday afternoon of last week the
office of president emeritus was bestowed
upon Mrs. John P. Harris in grateful
recognition of her long and faithful serv-
ice in the cause of temperance. Mrs.
Harris was president of the Union for
thirty-five years and recently resigned
from active service because of ill health.
In the years she presided as president
she was always faithful in the work, and
as president emeritus she will still aid
the cause by her wise council; and her
associates hope she will be spared to at-
tend many more meetings.

SEPTEMBER COURT NEWS.—The regu- :
——Jacob Finberg, the twelve year old
- son of Louis Finberg, of Philipsburg, was
electrocuted on Monday afternoon by
coming in contact with a telephone wire
which had fallen down and across one of
the high tension wires of the electric
light company. The accident occurred
while the boy was on his way home from
school. Physicians worked for some
time to bring the boy back to life, but all
in vain. 2
——Now that the evenings are grow-
ing longer, and also cooler so that stand-
ing on the street corner is not as com-
fortable as during the summer evenings,
go to the Scenic, keep warm and have a
good two hours’ entertainment. You
can’t miss it on the Paramount pictures,
or any of the other big features. Don’t
forget that the world’s series baseball
games will be shown at the Scenic this
year same as last.
——The Bucknell Reserves and Belle-
fonte Academy football teams will open
the season in Bellefonte with a game on
Hughes field tomorrow (Saturday) after-
noon at three o'clock. The Academy
boys have been practicing regularly ever
since the opening of school and ought to
be in good shape for the opening game.
The price of admission will be twenty-
five cents and lovers of the game should
go out and help cheer the boys to vic-
tory.
——Last Friday afternoon Plummer
Strunk, of Runville, was driving to Belle-
fonte in his Ford car, and down at
Pleasant View he collided with a wagon
with the result that his machine was
shifted from its course and ran plunk into
the red house near the street. Several
occupants of the car were thrown against
the windshield breaking the glass and in-
flicting a number of cuts on their faces
and hands. The front of the machine
was badly wrecked.
——Thirty-three degrees above zero,
or within one degree of freezing point,
was where the thermometer stood on
Tuesday - and Wednesday mornings.
Coming right on the heels of the recent
hot spell it was noticed much more than
it will be later on. And the absence of
heat made it rather unpleasant in homes
as well as business places. Of course
it is not going to stay this cold right
along, but the time of year has arrived
when the nights, at least, will be cool.

——Large numbers of fingerling trout
are being shipped every day from the
Bellefonte hatchery at Pleasant Gap to
stock the various trout streams of the
State. A few weeks ago several cans of
these trout were put in Spring creek
above the falls, and from the number to
be seen there now and the healthy:
appearing condition of all of them, the
big majority must have survived .the
transplanting, which shows the wisdom
of putting out fingerlings instead of trou
fry. 73

——On Friday of last week a young
couple passed through Bellefonte in a big
Stutz runabout on their way to Hughes-

Kansas City, Mo., a distance of fourteen
hundred miles, in four days. Between

——Our good friend Adam A. Schroyer,
of Milesburg, celebrated his seventieth
birthday anniversary on Sunday, and
coming close upon the heels of that event
was his retirement from the service of
the Pennsylvania railroad company yes-
terday on account of the age limit on a
pension. Mr. Schroyer has been an em-
ployee of the company for almost thirty-
five years, more or less, and has been at
all times faithful in the discharge of any
duties imposed upon him. For a num-
ber of years past he has been night
watchman at the freight station in this
place, and his successor, who goes on
duty today will be James Smoyer, a track
foreman on the Snow Shoe railroad. Mr.
Smoyer recently purchased the Robert
Roan property on east Beaver street for
$1,800 and will move his family here to-
day from Butts Station.
Mrs. Frear, Mrs. Foster, Miss Lovejoy, |
BEES IN A BucGy Box.—How would | —Miss Madaline Schiff will sail Saturday on
you like to go out to your wagon shed | the St. Paul for her home in London.
and find a swarm of bees comfortably in-
stalled in your buggy box and prepared
at any moment to dispute your right to
interfere with them? Such is a condi-
tion which literally exists at Scotia.
When the ore mines at that place
were being operated by the Bellefonte
Furnace company, the company kept a
two seated surrey to enable the men in
charge to drive from one point to anoth-
er of the operations. A year or more
ago the old surrey was run into a tum-
ble-down shed and there it has remained.
One day last week Harry Lykens went
out to the shed and while looking around
heard a buzzing noise like a “bundle of
bees in a bonnet.” Finally his attention
was attracted to the old surrey and then
he made a discovery.
The surrey is one of the real old-fash-
ioned kind with the rear seat boxed in,
or under rather, leaving quite a large
space under the seat. A splint had been
knocked off the rear board leaving a
crack about the size of a man’s little fin-
ger. Some time during the spring or
summer a swarm of bees had found this
haven of refuge and have occupied it
ever since. Though Mr. Lykens did rot
make a very close inspection he express-
es the opinion that the bees have stored
a considerable quantity of honey in the
old surrey box and he and his friends
are trying to figure out how to get the
honey and capture the bees without in-
curring the displeasure of their business
ends. :
Apropos of the above story a few years
ago a swarm of bees took lodging be-
tween the weather-boarding and plaster-
ing of the Methodist church at that place,
using a knot hole as a means of ingress
and egress. They were allowed to re-
main there during the summer and in
the fall some of the weather boarding
was removed and in the neighborhood of
two hundred pounds of honey secured;
but we cannot recall whether the honey
was used to help pay the pastor’s salary
or not.
