AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS.—Miss Rebec-

car collided with a train of dinky cars’at

ments made to her car at Sebring’s gar-
rage. 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. PATTON APPOINTED SEC-
RETARY OF AGRICULTURE. — Governor
Brumbaugh on Tuesday appointed former
Congressman Charles E. Patton, of Clear-
field, Secretary of Agriculture to succeed
N. B. Critchfield. He will assume the
office, to which a $5,000 salary is attach-
ed on October 15th (today. )
According to a statement sent out
from Harrisburg the selection of Mr.
Patton was made by the Governor after
long and careful study of men suggested
for the place. 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. :

——Returning from Philadelphia this
week M. A. Landsy brought with him
from the Antrim & Landsy studio a
splendid portrait of the late Richard S.
Brouse, which has been much admired
by all who have seen it. It is not only a
splendid likeness in every detail but is
executed with so much skill and tech-
nique as to bring out the distinctive ex-
pression of the face remembered so well
by Mr. Brouse’s most intimate friends.
-—There is no “watchful waiting"
policy pursued at the Scenic. Manager
T. Clayton Brown believes in going after
things and that is the reason he is now |
showing so many big features in the |
moving picture line. He goes on the!
proposition that there is nothing too |
good for Bellefonte, and the crowds that |
attend the Scenic every evening are evi-
dence that the people appreciate his ef- |
forts. Every evening a change of pro-,
gram.

——0Otto Ganoe and Todd Williamson,
two experienced hotel men, last week
purchased the furnishings and good will
of the New Crawford hotel at Jersey
Shore, from Mrs. R. Bruce Garbrick, and
took charge of the same on Monday
Bruce Garbrick, who died a few months
ago while in charge of the above hotel.
She is a resident of Bellefonte and is to
be congratulated on having successfully
disposed of her husband’s interest in the
above hotel.

——The State-Centre Electric com-
pany started work on Monday morning
on installing the new street lighting sys-
tem. A boulevard system will be install-
ed from the railroad to the Diamond and
from Bishop street to Howard street,
with an extension from Howard to Linn
and west on Linn to Rhoads’ corner,
citizens on those two thoroughfares
having raised a fund sufficient to pay
half the expense of instailing it. When
the new system is completed Belle-
fonte should be better lighted than ever
before.

——Readers of the WATCHMAN are re-
quested to bear in mind the fact that
there is a rare treat in store for them on
Tuesday evening, October 26th, when:
that eminent monologue actor, James
Francis O'Donnell, will present “The
Sign of the Cross” in St. John’s Catholic
church. Mr. O’Vonnell has appeared in
hundreds of cities throughout the United
States and has always given the utmost
satisfaction. Local talent will also appear
that evening and the entertainment will
be doubly worth the small price of fifty
cents admission.
——The Bellefonte Academy football
team will have as their opponents on
Hughes field tomorrow afternoon the
Carlisle Indian reserves. This will be
the last game the Academy will play on
the home field this season. The Indians
that will be here this year must not be
compared with the team that was here
last year. They were not even good
practice for the Academy team but this
year they have been putting up a fast
game and the Academy will have to play
The game will be called
promptly at 2.30 o’clock. Admission 50
cents. :
——Bellefonters who were lucky
enough to be near the Diamond about
four o'clock on Sunday afternoon were
favored with an impromptu concert by
seven members of the famous Repasz
band, Williamsport. 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.

——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.
