York Central railroad, met a horrible * ldeath at Hyner station about 9.20 o’clock last Wednesday morning, when he was knocked from his train and literally ground tc pieces beneath the wheels. The train on which he was running was bound from McElhattan to Kesting and the accident was wit- nessed by Paul D. Sheffer, of this place, who was standing at the Hyner station at the time. According to his story the train ran through Hyner without stopping. Miller was about the middle of the train and standing in the iron stirrup of a freight car he was leaning out and with a stick jabbing the waste in a hot box in order to allow the oil to get to the journal. While thus engag- ed he had his back to the engine and failed to notice the exact location of the train with the result that he was struck on the back of the head by one of the posts on the safety iron fences between the tracks. He was knocked from the train and the suction drew the body beneath the wheels. The accident completely unnerved the station agent at Hyner, who went ed. When Mr. Sheffer saw what hap- pened he called to the conductor on the cabocse, but that official evident- ly did not hear him, as the train then WM. E.

Miller was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Miller, of Beech Creek, and was twenty-eight years old and unmarried. In addition to his parents he is survived by four broth- ers and two sisters, namely: Alva, Roy, Lonnie, Ralph and Martha, at home, and Mrs. Roy Bitner, of Mill Hall.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. ! of Celebrated Ninety-Second Anniver- sary. i Uriah Kitchen, an old veteran of the | Mexican and Civil wars, celebrated | the ninety-second anniversary of his! birth, last Friday, at the home of his | daughter, Mrs. C. E. Bullock, in Beech | Creek. About twenty-five guests! were present and“among the number were three members of Company D,! Forty-ninth Pennsylvania volunteers, | which was Mr. Kitchen’s company during the Civil war. In addition to! himself the other two were Capt. James A. Quigley, captain of the company, and Campbell D. McClos- key. Mr. Kitchen, by the way, is quite proud of his war record. In the Mex- ican war he served under General Scott and was with him on his famous march to Mexico city. He was wound- ed in the thigh, but only off duty tem- porarily. In the Civil war he was wounded in the other thigh in almost a relatively same location as his first wound. Comrade Kitchen still enjoys remarkably good health, despite his advanced age. Have You Contributed? The Centre county Soldiers’ Relief c.ssociation is still active in the sup- port of the dependent families of sol- " diers at the front, and hopes to con-i tinue so as long as the soldiers are in| the field, but to do so they must have the support of the public generally. Quite a number of people have been liberal contributors but many who are able to give have failed to contribute a cent so far. Contributions were re- ceived from the following during the past week: W. J. Emerick, Mrs. Joseph Ceader, Mrs. Mary McA. Beaver and W. T. Kelly, Bellefonte; the citizens of Philipsburg and the following churches included in Rev. W. D.

Dixon, tell- ing just what should be done as a preventive of the infantile paralysis epidemic.

Miller’s request for the closing of the east end of Curtin street and the north end of Wilson street that he had re- ceived 3 number of protests against so doing and the matter was still under consideration.

Downing, of Bald Eagle, but for years a resident of Port Matilda, who on June 9th shot and seriously wounded assistant cashier Harris M. Hoover while attempting a hold-up on the Curwensville National bank, has reconsidered his declaration about pleading guilty and throwing himself upon the mercy of the court, and will submit his case to a trial by jury at the September term of the Clearfield criminal court. Hoover, the victim of Downing’s bullet, is still troubled by the wound in his cheek and it is just possible he will have to have the chattered cheek bone rebuilt. ; Must Clean Up Premises. The Bellefonte Board of Health held a meeting on Wednesday evening and decided to appoint a competent per- son to make a thorough inspection of the entire town and notify property owners and residents to clean up their premises wherever needed. Fail- ing to do so the Board will have the work done and collect payment there- fore from the resident on the proper- ty. Therefore be prepared to clean up. ——Mr. A. W.
