She then decided to test it out and with Richard Weston driving and herself and Edward Zong, her regular chauffeur, all on the front seat they drove around the block and out Linn street and down the state road. While a number of people saw the ac- cident no two stories agree. It appears, however, that a train load of stone was being hauled from the quarry to the kilns. There were two cars in front of the dinkey engine and four in the rear. One of the trainmen held up his hand as a notice of caution but it is claimed the driver mistook it as a signal to go ahead. In any event he drove on at a fair rate of speed and when he realized his dan- In fact he claims that the brakes would not hold. The result was the car crash- ed into the two rear cars of the stone train and Miss Rhoads was thrown out, alighting on her face on a pile of gravel. She sustained one broken tooth and some bad bruises, but no broken bones. Both men escaped injury. left front wheel was wrecked, the axle bent, lamp broken, a hole knocked in the radiator and the windshield bent. The this summer by Miss Rhoads. The im- pact of the car against the loaded stone cars was so great that both of them were broken. On Sunday afternoon two cars were wrecked in a collision at the three hills this side of Zion, as the result of reckless driving. A Hupmobile owned by a Lock Haven party was going down the road and according to people who saw the af- fair was being driven at high speed. There was another car ahead and right on the brow of the hill the driver of the Hup attempted to pass the other car. Coming up the road was Luther Steven- son and family, of near Salona, in an Overland car. He turned out to allow the first car going east to pass and as he did so the Hup car swung to his side of the road with the result that they met in a head-on collision. The Hup car being the lightest was thrown head first up on the bank, the entire front part of it being wrecked. The front part of Mr. Stevenson’s Over- land was also badly damaged. Mrs. Stevenson, who was in the rear seat, was thrown forward against the front seat by the force of the collision and got a bad bump on the left arm, but fortunately not hard enough to fracture the bone. None of the other occupants of the two cars were injured. SoME PEACH CROP, THIs.—There are very few families in Bellefonte who have not had this season one or more baskets of peaches from the famous Allegheny mountain orchard of Charles P. Reese, and yet how few know anything about his orchard. Mr. Reese will clean out his last peaches next week and when this is done he will have disposed of a crop of 11,000 bushels, gathered from an orchard of 8,000 trees. The work of car- ing for this orchard, picking and market- ing the fruit is mostly doneby Mr. Reese and his family of five boys and four girls, all of whom are at home. And peaches very good black raspberry orchard, which yields a bigger profit with less work than the peaches. Mr. Reese’s mountain home, by the way, is an ideal one. His house is equip- ped with running water, hot and cold, from a spring high enough up the moun- tain to give ample pressure. The sur- roundings are delightful and all in all it is a pleasant place to live. At present Mr. Reese is suffering with a bad cold but that does not prevent him extending wide open hospitality to all his friends. HoN. CHAS. E.

Dozens of names were placed before the Governor, including some who had been prominent in politi- cal affairs and in agriculture’s allied branches. He canvassed every man and had some of them go there to meet him. No appointment at the capitol has aroused so much iaterest and as the weeks went on while the Governor was studying the men much speculation was indulged in. The department, which had marked time for a little while after the new commission was named, went ahead with its routine work and Mr. Patton will go there finding everything.in full blast. : ——Mrs. Sidney Keefer, who recently purchased the W.

The aggregation had been traveling the State in an auto- mobile while taking a vacation and act- ing the part of a “Leéedle German band.” They passed through Bellefonte on Sat- urday on their way to Altoona where they spent some time. Returning they visited Tyrone and Philipsburg. ‘When they arrived at Milesburg on Sunday afternoon they stopped and wanted to give a sacred concert but some of the citizens of that place objected and also told them that they would not be allow- ed to play in Bellefonte. But they were, and the few pieces they played were much enjoyed by all who heard them. soo ——Governor Brumbaugh’s “Seeing Pennsylvania First” party, which passed through Centre county last Thursday, got an inkling of life at the new western penitentiary when they were served a luncheon in the new laundry now being used as the prison dining hall; eating off of the same dishes used by the prisoners, waited on by convicts and with a bill of fare only a little more elaborate than is served the prisoners daily. It was a novel experience but the entire party seemed to enjoy it. The Governor's party, by the way, lost no time in super- fluous stops, going through Bellefonte at a twenty mile clip, at least. In fact, it is pretty authoritatively stated that the party exceeded the speed limit on most of its run. All the cars were high pow- ered six cylinders and the drivers seemed determined to keep up a speed of any- where from forty to sixty miles an hour. If the purpose of the trip was to test out the various state highways both the Gov- ernor and Highway Commissioner Cun- ningham no doubt realized the efficiency of the roads for speeding purposes. MANY HUNTERS WILL GO GUNNIN’ TO- pAY.—Hundreds of hunters in Centre county, as well as invaders trom other counties, will invest the mountains of Centre county bright and early this morning to usher in the hunting season. And while pheasants and squirrel will be two kinds of game that will not be over- looked the average hunter will have his eye on wild turkey. It has been three years now since wild turkeys were law- ful game in the State of Pennsylvania and if there is anything in protection they ought to be quite plentiful this year. But they are a hard bird to get and lucky will be the hunter who comes home this evening with a turkey as the result of his day’s hunt. Pheasants are reported plentiful but squirrel are scarce. . The following list shows the game birds and animals for which the season opens today, the number that a hunter may kill during a season and the date of closing: Bear, one each season, Dec. 15. Blackbirds, unlimited, Nov. 30. English, Mongolian, Chinese and ring neck pheasants, four in one day, 10 in one week, 20 in one season, Nov. 30. Hungarian quail, four in one day, 10 in one week, 20 in one season, Nov. 30. Quail (Virginia partridge,) eight in one day, 25 in one week, 40 in one sea-! son, Nov. 30. Raccoon, unlimited, Dec. 31. Ruffed grouse (pheasant) five in one day, 20 in one week, 30 in one season, Nov. 30. Snipe, Jan. 1. Jack or Wilson, unlimited, { Squirrels, fox, gray or black, six of | combined kinds in one day, 20 in one week, 40 in one season, Nov. 30. Wild turkeys, one in one day, one in one week and two in one season, Nov. 30. Wookcock, 10 in one day, 20 in one week and 30 in one season, Nov. 30. The season for rabbits will not open until Nov. 1 and deer Dec. 1. One of the busiest places in Bellefonte yesterday was the county treasurer’s office. Almost the entire day from six to a dozen men stood in line while Coun- ty Treasurer John D. Miller and two clerks worked like trojans turning out hunters’ licenses. On one desk was a pile of one, two and five dollar bills taken during the day, while a big pile of appli- cations and checks represented the li- censes to be sent by mail. Up to noon yesterday just 2376 licenses had been granted, almost seven hundred more than last year on’ the same date. So that if every man who has gotten a license goes into the woods this morning for the opening of the season it will be equiva- lent to two army regiments on a war footing. And Centre county hunters will not be the only ones on Centre coun- ty mountains because a number of auto- mobiles filled with hunters, guns and dogs passed through Bellefonte yesterday afternoon and evening in order to be on the ground bright and early this morn- ing. CoMPUTING TRAFFIC.—In order to find out just how much traffic there is over the crossing near the old Phoenix mill the Pennsylvania railroad company kept a constant watch there from six o'clock on Wednesday morning until six o'clock yesterday morning with instructions to make an accurate count of every person and vehicle that traveled over the cross- ing. The count showed 1,438 pedestrians, 267 wagons and buggies, 127 automobiles and 41 bicyclists. Just what the purpose of this census is has not been divulged.
