THREE DEAD AS RESULT
OF CROSSING ACCIDENT.
Charles Fahr and Little Son Killed
When Train Hit Car at Union-
ville. Another Son Died in
Hospital.
The most tragic and deplorable
accident that has ever happened in
Centre county took place at Union-
ville, on Wednesday morning, when
an automobile owned and driven by
Charles Fahr, of Huston township,
and in which were himself, wife and
five children, was hit on the crossing
right at the Unionville station, Mr.
Fahr and baby son being killed out-
right, while another son died in the
Centre County hospital on Wednesday
night. Mrs. Fahr’s condition is also
‘quite serious as she has a crushed
pelvic bone, numerous cuts and bruis-
es and possibly internal injuries. At
this writing it has not been possible
to determine the full extent of her
injuries.
The Fahr family live on a farm on
the Beaver Mills road, about two
miles north of Julian. On Wednesday
morning Mr. Fahr, with his wife and
five youngest children, Merrill, aged
7 years; Howard, 5; LeRoy, 4; John,
2% and the baby boy, Charles, 18
months, left home in the family car
and came to Bellefonte to consult a
physician, as both Mrs. Fahr and two
children werg not well. They traveled
in a Ford touring car with all the cur-
tains up. Returning they left here
about ten o’clock and when they got
to Unionville they stopped at the
home of William Emenhizer, a rela-
tive, who lives right across the rail-
road from the Unionville station.
While at the Emenhizer home Mr.
Fahr put water in the radiator of his
car then got in and started to con-
tinue his journey home.
Now it just happened that owing to
a big freight wreck at Vandyke, on
the Middle division, on Tuesday night,
all trains were routed over the Bald
Eagle road, and when Mr. Fahr start-
ed his car at 10.57 o’clock he drove
right onto the railroad in front of
express No. 89, which was running at
a forty mile rate going west.
The car was completely demolished.
Mr. Fahr was thrown fully fifty feet
and sustained a crushed skull, dying
instantly. The baby, Charles Jr., was
dead when picked up. John, the next
youngest, had both legs practically
cut off. Two of the children were
found in the wreckage of the car
which was strewn along the track for
a distance of 150 feet. The train was
brought to a stop as quickly as pos-
sible and trainmen and others picked
up the dead and injured.
Mrs. Fahr and four sons were
brought to the Centre County hospit-
al, where John died on Wednesday
night. The condition of the other
three boys, Merrill, Harold and Le-
Roy, is not considered serious.
Mr. Fahr was a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Aaron Fahr and was born in Union
township in May, 1890, hence was not
quite 38 years old. He married Miss
Ohpelia Rowan, a daughter of Mr.
‘and Mrs, Alfred Rowan, fifteen years
ago, and they had nine children, Beat-
rice, aged 13; Ethel, 11; Elva, 10,
and Annabelle, 8, as well as the five
mentioned above. Mr. Fahr is also
survived by his parents, living in Al-
toona and the following brothers and
sisters: Miss Miriam, in Butler; Mrs.
J. B. Hanscom, of Huston township;
B. F. Fahr, of Altoona; Mrs. Jeff
Martin, of Jersey Shore; Roland Fahr,
of Curtin, and A. J., of Altoona.
Mr. Fahr was a member of the
United. Brethren church, at Julian,
and was known as a most devoted
husband and father. Funeral services
for the father and two sons will be
held in the church of which he was a
member at two o’clock on Sunday af-
ternoon, by Rev. LeRoy Kulp, burial
to be made in the cemetery at that
place. 3
Mrs. D. 1. Willard Injured in Auto
Accident.
On Saturday evening Robert Wil-
lard started to take his mother to her
home on north Thomas street in his
car. He drove out Allegheny street
and down Lamb to avoid the heavy
traffic on High street. Just as he
reached the railroad he saw the night
train bearing down upon them as it
was backing out from the Bellefonte
station. He shut off the motor and
jammed on the brakes but the ino-
mentum of the car carried the front
portion of it onto the railroad track.
There was no time to start the mo-
tor nor to jump and the machine was
hit fair on the side and shoved along
the track a distance of fifty feet be-
fore the train could be stopped. Mrs.
Willard sustained slight cuts on both
sides of her head, a contused knee and
suffered from shock, while Robert es-
caped without any injuries. As it
happened the car was far enough on
the track that when it was hit by the
train and pushed along it just missed
the watch’ box. The car, also, was
not overturned which saved the oc-
cupants from worse injuries, if not
death. The car, however, was pretty
badly wrecked.
Boy Run Down and Killed by Auto-
mobile.
On his way home from school in
Milesburg, on Monday afternoon,
Raymond Resides, seven-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Resides, who
live at Tangletown, near Milesburg,
was run down by an automobile in
front of the George Pifer meat mar-
ket, in Milesburg, and injured so bad-
ly that he died while being brought
to the Centre County hospital.
The car bore an Ohio license and
it is said the boy became confused in RAILROAD HEARING
crossing the street and ran in front
of the car. He was picked up and
placed in an automobile to be brought
to the hospital but died on the way.
His parents and one sister, Adaline,
survive. Funeral services were held
yesterday afternoon, burial being
made in the Advent cemetery.

Public Opening of Rebuilt Y. M. C, A.
Swimming Pool April 11th.
There will be a big time at the
Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday
evening, April 11th, when the rebuilt
swimming pool will be officially op-
ened, and the public in general is in-
vited to attend. It will also mark the
first appearance of Wetzler’'s new
Boys’ band of seventy-eight pieces.
The swimming pool which, when it
was originally built, was one of the
big attractions at the Y, eventually
sprung a leak and had to be aban-
doned. Last fall, when the big drive
was put on for support of the Asso-
ciation, the Kiwanis and other public-
spirited citizens decided to raise a
sufficient fund to rebuild the pool.
The money was raised but in order to
keep down the expense members of
the Kiwanis, Bellefonte Academy and
High school students volunteered their
services and helped to remove the old
tile with which the pool was lined.
The pool was then finished with
concrete and as it now stands it .is
70x20 feet in size, four feet deep at
one end and tapering down to eight
at the deepest end. It is now water
tight and has been tested out long
enough to justify the belief that it
will remain so. t
In order that the public may know
what an ideal place the Young Men’s
Christian Association now is, with
the swimming pool as an added at-
traction, secretary L. C. Heineman
has arranged a program which will
appeal to old and young alike.
From 7.30 to 8.15 there will be a
concert by the Wetzler’s Boys’ band.
At 8.15 there will be an exhibition
of gymnasium class work by grade
school girls, younger boys, young la-
dies and young men.
This will be followed by an exhibi-
tion of swimming by some of the
grade school girls, younger boys,
young ladies and young men, after
which the pool will be thrown open
to any and all swimmers, regardless
as to whether they belong to the Y
or not.

Last Drive for Near East Relief,
April 15th to 29th.
During the last twelve years Amer-
ica, through the Near East relief, has
thrust a helping hand into every dis-
aster in the Near East. The first sev-
en years saved the Armenian race
from extermination, aided 1,400,000
other refugees and gave life to 132,-
552 orphans. The last five years have
seen the perfecting of a program of
training these children for life. 100,-
421 of them are now established in
self-suppert or have been placed in
homes. The 32,151 remaining are far
too young to shift for themselves.
A very careful survey shows that
the sum of $6,000,000 is needed to fin-
ish the remaining tasks of Near East
relief. This will safeguard the in-
vestments already made and bring a
truly great service to a completion
worthy of America. The overseas
work must go on until the children
are old enough to take care of them-
selves, but financial campaigning in
America will stop as soon as the $6,-
000,000 fund is raised. The prompt
underwriting of this ‘will save ex-
pense.
Pennsylvania has decided to close:

can raise that amount in cash and
pledges to be redeemed by June 30,
1929, appeals for Near East relief in
Centre county will stop. A campaign
will be put on in this county from
April 15th to April 29th, and in that
time is it the hope of the Centre coun-
ty committee for Near East relief
that every one will give his full share
to complete what is said to be the
finest and largest piece of reconstruc-
tion work ever carried on in the
world. :
The committee in charge of the
drive will be Miss Mary Linn, chair-
man; Mrs. Robert Mills Beach, sec-
retary, and Charles M. McCurdy,
treasurer.

ATTRACTS MANY PEOPLE.
Applications of Bellefonte Central
Being Heard Before the State
Public Service Commission.
Business men from State College
“and property owners in College and
Ferguson townships have been in
Bellefonte in large numbers since yes-
terday morning, anxious and willing
to give testimony in favor of the
Bellefonte Central Railroad company
in the hearing now being held before
the Public Service Commission, on
the company’s application for permis-
sion to build a new line of railroad
from Struble station to Fairbrook,
and also for permission to take over
and operate that portion of the Fair-
brook branch of the Pennsylvania
company abandoned by the latter.
Testimony is being taken before
Commissioner Charles Young, with
Garfield J. Phillips, chief examiner of
the Commission, as assistant, and Eu-
gene Moyer, stenographic reporter.
The Bellefonte Central Railroad com-
‘pany is represented by quite an ar-
ray of counsel, including Messrs. T. D.
Geoghegan, J. F. Finnerty, J. H. Lib-
by and T. M. Woodward, all of Wash-
ington, D. C., and James C. Furst, of
Bellefonte. Attorney Finnerty is the
chief examining counsel while Mr.
Geoghegan, who is traffic manager
and a director of the Railroad com-
pany, is the chief expert witness. The
interests of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company are closely watched by
Albert B. Ward Esq., of Philadelphia.
An idea of the thoroughness with
which the case will be gone into can
be had from the fact that the taking
of testimony began on Wednesday
morning and is still under way, al-
though the attorneys hope to get
through by this evening.
While the testimony being taken is
before a Public Service Commissioner
two copies will be made, one for the
Public Service Coramission and one
for the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission, as both Commissions must |
rule on the applications pending. As
the testimony will be quite volumin-
ous it will probably be several weeks
before a decision may be expected.
It might be of interest to note that
announcement was made, on Wednes-
day, that the stockholders of the
Bellefonte Central have approved the
creation of a $200,000 first mortgage
and issuance of that amount of 53
| per cent 20-year bonds. The issue will
provide for the purchase of the Fair-
brook branch and for construction of
i the proposed connection in the west-
‘ern part of Centre county and the ex-
i tension to Mill Hall to connect with
| the New York Central.

' Flowers for Easter and Plants for
: the Garden.
Boa
Everybody wants flowers for East-
er, and naturally they want them as
fresh as possible, so that they will
show in all their pristine beauty. And
the one place in Bellefonte where you
can be sure of getting them fresh is
at the Halfmoon Gardens.
, The selection there is just as large
and diversified as can be found any-
where, including Easter lilies, tulips,
* hyacinths, primroses, begonias, roses,
hydrangeas, genista, etc. Every kind
‘of. flower that can be found in any
! green house can be had at Halfmoon
Gardens, and at reasonable prices.
i Before making your selection for
| Easter visit the gardens and see for
yourself. If you haven’t time to go
there telephone your order.
For outdoor planting the gardens
can supply your every want. There
is a stock of 5000 tulips on hand as
well as other spring flowers and
bulbs. Garden plants of all kinds are
also a specialty.

Farmers’ National Bank to Increase
Capital Stock.
A largely attended meeting of the
stockholders of the Farmers’ Nation-
al Bank of Bellefonte was held in
the directors’ room, last Friday after-
noon, at which it was unanimously
voted to authorize an increase of the
capital stock from §50,000 to $75,-
000. The price fixed for the new is-
sue of stock is $130 a share. Under
the law present stockholders must be
given the first opportunity to buy the
new issue of stock, but in the event
they do not take it all, purchase of
the stock will then be open to the
public.
While the bank has made splendid
progress since its opening six months
ago, and its business is increasing
daily, it has become evident that it
can better meet the demands of the
community by an increase in capital.
This is only in line with what had
originally been planned when the
bank was opened last fall.
