Register Harry Rossman Injured in
Auto Accident.
Register Harry Rossman sustained
painful injuries in an automobile
wreck near Wallaceton, Clearfield
county, on Saturday afternoon, but is
thankful that he escaped anything
more serious. Going on a business
trip to Clearfield he took with him as
far as Philipsburg Fred J. Healy and
Lincoln H. Swartz. The snowfall in
Clearfield county, on Friday, was very
much heavier than it was here, so that
the roads were well covered. On his
return trip from Clearfield Mr. Ross-
man was in the act of making a sharp
turn in the road near Wallaceton when
his car skidded. He attempted to run
into an old lumber road into a tract of
woods, but unfortunately hit a stump.
His car turned over and his feet went
out through the glass of one of the
side doors. His injuries consisted of
a cut on the face, a sprained back and
badly wrenched hand.
His car, a Maxwell Six, was pretty
badly damaged and had to be towed
into Philipsburg for repairs. The
three men returned home by train on
Saturday evening. The Sunday be-
fore this accident Mr. Rossman took
his family on a drive to Lock Haven
and stopped at Mill Hall. Just as Mrs.
Rossman got out of the car to go into
the house of a friend she was hit by
another passing car, though fortu-
nately not seriously hurt. On the date
of the Penn State-Notre Dame foot-
ball game Mr. Rossman was run into
on his way to the College, and now
this last accident almost convinces
him that a hoodoo of some kind is
hanging over his car.
RANKINS HAVE BAD SPILL.
On Wednesday afternoon of last
week W. B. Rankin and daughter,
Miss Mary, in the latter’s new Jewett ;
car and with Mrs. J. D. Geisinger as
a motor guest, started for Harrisburg
to spend Thanksgiving. Before leav-
ing Bellefonte they put chains on the
car but when they reached Lewistown
the road was so dry that the chains
were removed. At that place they
took on board a State College student
who was on his way to Philadelphia.
Motoring through the Juniata val-
ley they struck small patches of ice
on the road which made driving
treacherous and because of this Miss
Mary, who was at the wheel, observed
extra precautions. Several miles be-
yond Liverpool there was an icy
stretch of road and the car skidded
back and forth across the road several
times then ran into the bank and up-
set. The top of the car was partially
torn off and Mr. Rankin, Mrs. Geis-
inger and the State College student
were thrown out while Miss Mary was
pinned fast beneath the steering
wheel.
The accident happened about six
o’clock and the road was full of mo-
torists at the time, so that it was only
a minute or two until a crowd was on
the scene. Miss Rankin was quickly
released from the wrecked car and
strange as it may seem her only in-
juries were a few bruises on her side.
Mr. Rankin sustained a slight cut and
several small bruises, but nothing
serious, while Mrs. Geisinger and the
State College student were uninjured.
The car was badly wrecked.
A passing motorist took them into
Harrisburg and later the car was
towed into the Jewett agency in that
city for repairs. Miss Rankin carried
accident insurance and the cost to her
for putting the car in as good condi-
tion as it was before the accident will
not be great.

New Record Made on Tyrone Division
of P. R. R.
A new record was established on
the Tyrone division of the Pennsylva-
nia railroad on Tuesday of last week
when all former records for the move-
ment of trains and cars were shatter-
ed. On that day a total of 2,940 cars
were handled over the division, 2,489
of this number being hauled over the
Bald Eagle Valley portion. This
movement was represented by 51
freight trains, and in connection 44
passenger trains were handled over
the division or a grand total of 99
trains. The record previous to this
was made on December 16, 1920, when
years a well known resident of Belle-
fonte, passed away on Monday night,
at his home on Pine street, following
an illness of about five years.
He was a son of Thomas and Mary
Louise Jackson and was born in Phil-
adelphia on December 2nd, 1861, hence
was within two days of being 64 years
old. When but fifteen years of age,
or in 1876, he came to Bellefonte with
his parents, his father coming
here as head of the tailoring
department in the Goldsmith stores.
His education was completed in
the public schools of Bellefonte.
Following Grover Cleveland’s inaugu-
ration as President in 1885 friends of
Mr. Jackson secured for him an ap-
office at Washington where he remain-
ed two cr three years. On his return
to Bellefonte he filled various cleric-
al positions until the election of Cyrus
Brungart as sheriff of Centre county,
when he secured the appointment of
deputy sheriff, a position he filled with
such exactness and ability that he was
retained by sheriff W. M. Cronister
and also sheriff H. S. Taylor, serving
‘nine years continuously in that office.
About sixteen years ago he accept-
ed a position in the Centre County
bank where he remained ten years, or
until failing health compelled his re-
tirement. He was a member of the
Bellefonte Lodge of Elks and the Lo-
gan fire company. In politics he was
a staunch Democrat and filled the po-
sition of secretary to the county com-
mittee for a number of years.
Mr. Jackson was of English parent-
age and was most punctilious and
gentlemanly at all times and under all
circumstances. Suave and genial by
nature he had many warm friends
who, though they have missed his
companionship for a number of years
will still regret to learn of his death.
On October 7th, 1908, he married
Miss Elizabeth Hazel, who survives
dith one sister, Miss Lidia Jackson,
of Bellefonte. Funeral services were
held in the Catholic church at ten
o’clock yesterday morning by Rev.
Father Downes and burial made in the
Catholi¢ cemetery.

GRAY.—Mrs. Ella M. Gray, widow
of the late John F. Gray, died on Mon-
day evening, at her home in Altoona,
following an illness of seven months
as the result of a stroke of paralysis.
She was a daughter of George and
Lydia Mattern and was born in Half-
moon valley on June 29th, 1860, hence
was in her sixty-sixth year. A good
part of her married life was spent in
Bellefonte and at State College, but
of late years some of her time had
been spent with her daughter, in Al-
toona. Her husband has been dead
for a number of years but surviving
her are the following children: G. Os-
Pittsbtirgl; “Mrs. Myrtle L. Corl, of
Philadelphia, and Florence E., of Al-
toona. She also leaves two brothers,
D. Blanchard Mattern, of Altoona,
and G. Stewart Mattern, of Los An-
geles, Cal.
Mrs. Gray was a member of St.
Paul’s Methodist church, of State Col-
lege, for many years. Funeral serv-
ices were held at her home in Altoona
on Wednesday evening and yesterday
the remains were taken to State Col-
lege where burial was made in the
Pine Hall cemetery. 3

Adams County Murderer Electrocuted
on Monday Morning.
Philip A. Hartman, a veteran of the
world war who on the afternoon of
October 14th, 1924, held up the cash-
ier of the Abbottstown state bank in
Adams county, compelled him to hand
over all the money in sight, $1,561,
and later shot and killed state troop-
er Francis L. Haley, was electrocuted
at the Rockview penitentiary on Mon-
day morning. Before going to the
chair Hartman admitted the killing
and stated that he had pulled off the
robbery single-handed and alone and
was solely responsible for the murder
of the state trooper.
Brought to Rockview on Saturday
by sheriff John C. Shealer, of Adams,
county, the condemned man was ac-
companied by Edgar Hildebrand, a
third year student at Gettysburg the-
ological seminary, who spent most of
Sunday with him as his spiritual ad-
viser. - Mr. Hildebrand and the prison
chaplain, Rev. C. E. Kalb, accompa-
nied Hartman to the death chair. He
was apparently calm and resigned to,
his fate and did not utter a word after
he left his cell. Only one contact was’
necessary, and it was made at 7:02,
Hartman being pronounced dead at]
7:09 by Drs. C. J. Newcomb and C. A.
Whitcomb. The body was claimed by!
relatives and was sent to Annville,
Lebanon county, for burial.
Hartman was born and raised at
Annville and was twenty-six years
old. During the world war he served
in a hospital unit and saw service over
seas. Returning heme he married
and had apparently settled down to a
life of industry until the spring of
1924 when he quit his job as a tele-
phone lineman and went to Ohio where
he entered upon a life of crime. When
he became a suspect he stole an autc-
mobile and made his way to New
York State where he had the car li-
censed in his own name. Then he
came into Pennsylvania and a few
days later pulled off the robbery of
the Abbottstown bank with the sub-
sequent murder of trooper Haley.
After shooting the trooper he contin-
ued into the mountains of Franklin
county where he abandoned his car
after setting it on fire. Two days
later he surrendered to the authoritie
in Reading. ;
He was tried and convicted in the
Adams. county. court in January and
was sentenced to die in May. The
original date for his electrocution was
fixed for November 2nd, but his case
was carried to the board of pardons
and he was granted a respite to No-
vember 30th. Hartman is the third
man from Adams county to go to the
electric chair, the other two being in
1921, and is the 151st man to be elec-
trocuted in Pennsylvania.

Escaped Prisoner Recaptured.
Edward Goss, of Venango county,
who escaped from the Rockview pen-
itentiary with two other men on the
evening of July 19th, 1924, was cap-

Lowery Biddle, of Beech Creek, Dies
from Kick of Horse.
Lowery Ernest Biddle, a native Cen-
tre countian but for a number of years
past a well known farmer near Beech
Creek, died at an early hour on Friday
“morning as the result of injuries sus-
| tained on Wednesday when he was
| kicked by one of his horses. At feed-
ing time on Wednesday noon he had
gone into the horse stable when one
of the animals kicked him. Not re-
turning to the house a young girl
whom the Biddies had taken to raise
went to the barn to see if anything
had happened to Mr. Biddle. She
found him lying unconscious behind
one of the horses. Running into the
house she told Mrs. Biddle and both
returned to the barn. They found Mr.
Biddle with a broken jaw and badly
lacerated face as the result of the!
kick. Securing assistance he was car-
ried into the house and his death on
Friday morning was caused by heart
failure, no doubt superinduced by his
_ injuries.
| He was a son of John and Mary
Badger Biddle and was born in Buffalo
Run valley on April 4th, 1852, hence
was 73 years, 7 months and 21 days
old. When five years of age he was
‘the victim of an attack of inflamma-
tory rheumatism which affected one of
his legs with the result that it was de-
‘ cidedly shorter than the other, render-
. ing him a cripple. for life, but despite

Dear “Watchman:”
Your inquiry as to how promptly
the “Watchman” is delivered to sub-
scribers in this place has been receiv-
ed and I regret to have to say that the
mail congestion here is so great that
deliveries of newspapers, especially,
are very uncertain. At present we
are about three weeks behind with the
distribution of papers. The conges-
tion is awful. It is not conceit at all
that prompts me to say that if it had
not been for me very few papers
would have been read here during the
summer. I was off sick two weeks
and not a paper could be worked while
iI was away. When I got back they
had a truck load of them from all over
the country to be worked through gen-
eral delivery so I was put out in the
lobby and made a second class office
and have been doing my level best to
get things cleaned up.

gestion and get to something more in-
teresting. It does me a lot of good to

Henry Meyer—An Appreciation.
The recent death of Henry Meyer is
profoundly felt not only in his birth-
place, Rebersburg, and in his native
Centre county, but wherever human
hearts have been ‘influenced by his
perfect life,
_He was ry teacher; when he offi-
ciated as County Superintendent of
schools I had the pleasure of accom-
panying him on several of his tours,
visiting schools and examining appli-
cants; I was with him on some fishing
excursions, and frequently in his home
was entertained in the most unconven-
tional manner and had exceptional op-
portuities to become acquainted with
his domestic and private life.
I can therefore appreciate the noble
and beautiful traits of his character
and heartily affirm that he was one of
the best men that ever lived, and I do
not wonder that the members of his
family say unqualifiedly the best.
It is when you go fishing with a
man that you find out just what his
quality is. Then social restraints are
relaxed and the inner nature freely
unfolds itself. At such times Mr.
Meyer displayed his lively sense of
humor; laughed heartily at a good
joke; poured out his inexhaustible
supply of local history and folk lore,
or threaded the intricate mazes of
philosophical problems. For in his
youth he had mastered the metaphys-
ics of Sir William Hamilton (1788.
1856,) and his logical mind knew how
to winnow truth from error. What-
ever the business in hand or the sub-
Jeet under discussion, you were deeply
impressed by the fact that he was
pure-hearted and could not descend to
any vulgarity.
In his make-up the intellectual pre-
dominated over the emotional. I do
not remember ever to have seen him
really excited; calm was he, deliber-
ate, quiet. Yet he was a man of deep
feeling, and his family and host of
friends bear witness to his strong and
steadfast love and friendship.
‘Sunshine was he in the wintry day
And in the mid-summer coolness and
shade.”
He hated shams and pretensions; he
was unswerving in his devotion te
principles which had proven sound and:
had therefore deliberately espoused.
_ Eighty-five years he lived—a long:
life, full of goodness, wisdom, help-
fulness—everything that goes to the
making of the ideal man. And crown.
ing all his activities and virtues was
a certain divineness which is difficult
to describe but is none the less felt as
a reality. It is this that constitutes
the silver lining in the clouds of our
sorrow and goes far in retrieving our
! personal loss; it is this—the best part.
of every great and good man—that
ives on, a spiritual value not subject
to the destroying power of death. In
this we glory; we cannot think of him.
as being buried, but as having ascend-
ed into the realm of life eternal.
“Tho’ world on world in myriad ages roll
Round us, each with different powers
And other forms of life than ours,
What know we greater than the soul?
On God and Godlike men we build our
trust.”

for a glass of that good water to top

and State College people here. Every
day I meet some one I know. Mr. and
Mrs. L. H. Musser and Miss Cooney
, arrived today. They stopped on their
fore eight o’clock in the morning. Ac-
cording to reports, a freight train
‘east-bound, became uncontrollable
after leaving Kittanning Point, and
gathering speed on the steep down-
ward grade, sideswiped another
freight train just under the Seven-
teenth street bridge, in Altoona, and
in an instant had made kindling wood
of a dozen box cars.
The wreckage was piled up thirty
all around.
The brakeman, who escaped death
with but slight injuries to his foot,
said that the blast had been blown for
handbrakes shortly after the train had
left Kittanning Point. He and the
conductor had worked desperately to
put them on but as they swept into
the Altoona yards no particle of speed
had lessened, he said.
According to one account thirty-
nine out of fifty-eight box cars were
completely wrecked. The engine of
the runaway train had been complete-
ly turned around facing the west, from
which direction it had come, and was
lying on its side, its wheels high in the
air. The coal tender was on its back,
and was lying some distance from the
locomotive.
Three wrecking crews were requi-
sitioned to clear up the wreck but it
could be opened to permit of the pas-
sage of passenger trains.

The Magic Carpet.
Once upon a time in the mystic land
of Persia, there was found among the
treasures of a king, a wonderful car-
pet. One had only to sit on it, wish fo
be somewhere, and away the carpet
would fly till the wished-for place was
reached. For hundreds of years it
carried kings and princes upon the
most amazing adventures. No one
knows what finally became of it, but
it may be that its last threads went
into the make-up of the first Youth’s
Companion. For, like the magic car-
pet, the Companion for 1926 carries
you to the land of your heart’s desire
—aup into the Maine woods with the
lumbermen; out on the western plains
where the war-like Navaho Indians
live; far up into the gold regions of
ka; and away on the Southern
Seas in search of treasures and lost is-
lands. All you need for such extraor-
dinary adventures is a young heart

McDowell — Russell. — Willard K.
McDowell, cashier of the First Na-
tional bank of Howard, sprang a great
surprise on his friends Monday when
he journeyed to Harrisburg, where he
was married to Miss Mabel Russell, of
Lock Haven.
The groom had always said there
would be no pompous ceremony or
fuss when he entered the marital state
