Dr. William 8.-
Grange park, at Centre Hall, is a
field of tents this week and every one
of them occupied by families and oth-
ers in attendance at the annual en-
campment. In fact Sunday’s crowd
was said to be the largest Sabbath
day crowd ever seen on the ground.
The various exhibits compare very fa-
vorably with those of former years,
notwithstanding the late season so far
as agricultural products are concern-
eds The implement exhibit is also
quite large, while the stock stables
were only partially filled.
The program for the week was car-
ried out almost identical with that
published in last week’s paper with
one exception. At that time it was
stated that there would not be any
political meetings but Republican
county chairman Wilson I. Fleming
arranged one for two o'clock yester-
day afternoon, and had as speakers
Hon. Newton W. Gilbert, of Indiana,
former vice Governor of the Philip-
pine Islands and now a member of
Congress; Hon. W. I. Swoope, Repre-
sentative in Congress from this: dis-
trict, and J. Laird Holmes, of State
College.
Yesterday, of course, was the big
day, and the crowd was estimated at
from five to six thousand people. It
was also the final day of any conse-
quence as the encampment will end
today and by this evening the greater
part of the tented field will be unoc-
cupied.

GRANGE ENCAMPMENT AT CEN-
TRE HALL LARGELY
ATTENDED.
Rev. M. DeP. Maynard, Rector.
‘Was Started. 5
The “Tyrone Division Special” for
September gives .in brief an: interest-
ing story of how the Bald Eagle Val-
ley railroad was started, as related by
C. A. Irvin, present station agent at
Julian and a grandson of Dr. William
Underwood, the promotor as well as
the first president of the road. Mr.
Irvin says:
“That portion of the Tyrone and
Lock Haven railroad, (as it was then
named), between Bellefonte and Ty-
rone, was surveyed by John H. Mec-
Minn and a corps of engineers in Oc-
tober and November, 1856, and a sec-
ond act of incorporation was obtained
on February 21st, 1857. The commis-
sioners met on April 13th, 1857, and
elected Dr. William Underwood as
president, and the following manag-
ers: James T. Hale, Gen. James Ir-
vin, Harvey Mann, Dr. J. M. McCoy,
W. H. Thomas, Roland Curtin, E. C.
Humes, J. T. Matthias, L. A. Mackey
and John I. Thompson: The board
elected John T. Johnston secretary,
Edmund Blanchard treasurer, and
John McMinn engineer.
“The westren division, with the
Bellefonte branch, a total of thirty-
three and one-fourth miles, was let to
S. Brady & Co. for grubbing, grading
and finishing ready for the super-
structure for $66,500 on May 7th,
1857, and a few days later president
Underwood with the engineer and his
corps of assistants staked out the first
one hundred feet. After reading the
charter the president formally broke
ground and then all hands went to
work and graded that one hundred
feet. The eastern division of the road
between Milesburg and Lock Haven
Tore to Samuel Brady on May 20th,
“There were dark and discouraging
days ahead but president Underwood
had a vision and was determined to
see it through. Time and again when
friends would ask him if he wasn’t
about ready to give it up he always
replied: “Never! I am more in hope
now than ever.”
“Dr. Underwood, who was a mem-
ber of the Society of Friends, called
upon an old Quaker friend and asked
him to take some stock in the road.
The old Quaker replied: “Well, Wil-
liagn, I will buy some of this stock
just to please thee, but one engine
will haul all the freight and passen-
gers that will ever go over your road.”
“Dr. Underwood, who was a native
of York, Pa., in addition to being be-
hind the success of the Bald Eagle
Valley, was also active in promoting
the Norfolk & Southern railway, run-
ning from Norfolk, Va., to Elizabeth
City, N. J.
“Mrs. Eliza G. Irvin, a daughter of
Dr. Underwood, and mother of C. A.
Irvin, station agent at Julian, still re-
sides at Julian and is in her eighty-
sixth year. She is a most estimable
woman and is still keenly interested
in rairoad matters. ;
——The teachers’ institute of Cen-
tre county will be held in Bellefonte"
the week of October 20th.
