FIFTY YEARS AGO
, GRAY.—Mrs. Mary Laurie Gray, | NOMINATION PETITIONS
widow of S. Durbin Gray Esq., |
well known resident
of Bellefonte, passed away in a
hospital at Bar Harbor, Maine,
about 5:50 o'clock on Monday even-
ing. She had been summering at
Bar Harbor with the family of Mr.
and Mrs. Jacob Disston, of Philadel-
phia, and suffered a bad attack of
appendicitis last week. An opera-
tion was performed at the Bar Har-
bor hospital, on Saturday, but septic
poisoning developed which caused her
death.
Mrs. Gray was a daughter of Dr.
and a former
| William and Martha Bayless Laurie
and was born in Philadelphia almost
. seventy-five years ago. She was
| educated in the public schools in
i Philadelphia, and the Blairsville, N.
3. academy. She came to Bellefonte
| with her parents in 1876, when her
| father was called to the pastorate of | :

as witness the number of nominating
petitions filed in the office of the
county commissioners. There are
hundreds of them but as a complete
check-up has not yet been made the
exact number is not known. In bulk
there is very little difference between
the Republican and Democratic aspir-
ants, and in both parties there are
quite a number of women candidates
for both borough and township of-
'fices.

According to George W. Rodgers, en-
gineer at the Bellefonte water works,
the pump is delivering 140 gallons a
minute to the reservoir on Quaker
hill, 192 feet above the level of the
spring. He says that by raising the !
head in the spring to 7%; feet and
blocking some of the issues in the
wheel to maintain the water at that
height he would be able to pump 192
gallons per minute. Some say there
is danger in raising the sides of the
the spring because the water might
then seek other outlets and all get
away. Mr. Rodgers is not of this
opinion, for when the banks were
raised two feet some years ago there
was no evidence of escape by other
channels.
Misses Emma and Clara Barrett,
sisters of Mrs. Dr. Kirk, have been
visiting that lady this summer.—We
republish this item merely to show
one of the short comings of the
Watchman in the days when it was
regarded as almost the leading week-
ly in the United States. Fancy what
dts readers of today would think of
us if we were to refer to a lady as
Mrs. General Mrs. Governor or “Mrs.
Dr.” Somebody. Incidentally the
“Mrs. Dr. Kirk” referred to was the
wife of the brother of Dr. Miles A.
Kirk, of this place. He was then
practicing medicine here.—Editorial

Harvey Brooks, a young man liv-
ing in Boggs township, above the
Snow Shoe Intersection fell from a
load of oats last Tuesdav. His head
struck a stone and he was killed al-
most instantly. He left a young
wife to mourn his tragic end.
On Wednesday a six-mule team
owned by the Valentines was draw-
ing a four ton load of iron to Linn
and McCoy's works near Milesburg.
When right in front of the residence
of Thomas Burnside the road-bed
gave away and the wagon and iron
rolled clear down the high embank-
ment into the canal below. The
mules were dragged aft-- the wagon
but its coupling pin broke, releasing
them before they went clear down.—
The location mentioned was in front
of the present Frank McCoy estate
property.
The Bellefonte and Snow Shoe rail-
road has not actually been taken
wover by the P. R. R., as we stated
last week. The papers are all pre-
pared, however, and onlv await the
signature of president Downing, who
is expected home soon from a so-
journ in Maine.
Charley Ryan has gone to Pitts-
burgh to have his eyes examined by
skilled surgeons in that city.
The heavy steeple on the Baptist

The excursions to Bedford are
not popular. Only seven passengers
went from here on the last one. Peo-
ple from the mountains don’t want
to excurt to see other mountains.
Our people want excursions to the
sea shore and the sooner the railroad
company understands that the soon-
er it will discover how much passen-
ger fare it has missed.
This is August and the flies are
awful bad. All humans and animals
are pestered beyond endurance with
them. It’s the time when men
should think of the dumb brute, es-
pecially those not provided with
means of shooing away flies. We have
a staunch old Irish Democrat out in
Spring township who has a cow that
had a stumpy tail. Flies were tor-
menting the poor critter near to
death when he conceived the idea of
plaiting a horse-hair tail onto her
stub and did it with such marvelous
ekill that you would be surprised to
see how effectually she switches off
the flies, no matter where they perch
on her.

keep the roads of the township in a
proper state of repair and, also for

| and $610.30 for the money spent in

, been pending ever since owing to

A SWIMMING STORY
FOR Y.M. M. C. A. Pool.
Jimmy was very timid and back-
ward, only ten years old, afraid of
the older boys and missing that
wonderful experience of being “just
‘a kid.” He loved to play in the wa-
ter but his mother always said,
‘don’t go near the water,” so Jimmy
contented himself sailing his little
boat in the bath tub. One day a
neighbor’s boy and Jimmy stole off
and went to the old mill race by the
P. R. R. freight station to play. A
new experience but dangerous! A
misstep and Jimmy slid into eleven
feet of water. Helpless, he went to
the bottom like a stone, and appar-
ently it was “curtains” for Jimmy.
His companion, however, set up a
lusty yell and fortunately a man was
nearby who jumped in and pulled Jim-
my out, but not before artificial res-
piration was made necessary.
What a shock to Jimmy's dad and
mother, and was an awakening !
Two weeks later Jimmy entered in
Mr. Heineman's Y. M. C. A. boy’s
swimming class. The first day he was
nervous and afraid; not a toe would
he place in the pool. Mr. Heineman,
knowing more about boys than any
father in Bellefonte, called his dad
from the side lines and said, “you let
Jimmy with me and I'll call you
, When I want you in here.”
| Six months have passed and the
other day Jimmy's dad had the de-
lightful sensation of seeing his boy
swim the length of the Y. M. C. A.
pool twice. He's in the gym class,
and Bible school, and try to keep him
from the Y.

fonte boy who cannot swim is being
