AARONSBURG'S CENTENNIAL--1886,
Having lived at Aaronsburg a number
of years, wo still feel interested in the
ancient town, Aaronsburg was laid out
in 1786 by a Jew named Aaron Levy
and for a long time it was nicknamed
“Jows town!"
Let Aaronsburg celebrate her Centen-
nial next year by a big jollification, and
a talk of old times, With 1886 the town
will be 100 years old, It is the oldest
town in the valley, Millheim being two
years younger, having been laid out by
Philip Gunkle in 1798—hence in two
years, 1888, Millheim can celebrate her
Centennial too. Aaronsburg now has a
population of about 500 and has three
streets with improvements, and any
number of streets with nary a house.
The main street is noted for its width,
being 150 feet across, and some folks jok-
ingly say there are two towns opposite
each other,
Aarornsburg was the business centre of
Penns, Brush and Sugar valleys, back 75
years ago, and ita streets were crowded
like those of a little city by the trade
from this large scope of country—hence
ticipation of its becoming a large town
and the necessity of a wide street to ac-
commodate the trade. Other villages
and stores, however, began to spring up
here and there, and took away its trade
and blasted its hopes for greatness.
It is now a quiet town, but there is nota
village in the state with a more respec-
table people, The Duncans and Fosters,
sreat-grand parents of the present fami-
ies of that name, made their fortunes at
Aaronsburg in the mercantile business,
reaping the benefits of the trade it had
three-quarters of a century ago.
We would suggest to the good people
down there to have a big celebration in
1886,

A BICK LOCOMOTIVE,
A sick locomotive is a pitiable sight
too, and an annoying one when you
are 8 passenger in the train behind it—
it just leaves you behind too. The train
which pulled out eastward from Centre
Hall on Friday last got as far as Zerby's,
when the engine got a sudden attack of
lung fever, and its wind weakened
muchly. The conductor communicated
the sad news to the passengers, by the
announcement, “Passengers for Coburn,
get on the engine.” That being our des-
tination we along with Jas, H. Rankin
an elderly lady, Cleve Dinges, Mr. Deck
er, and a few others, got aboard the en-
gine, which cut loose from the train in
which were Prof. Bartol and family,’
Witmer Wolf and lady, and half dozen
others east-bound passengers, who re-
mained in the cars and were left to take
a nap, pick huckleberries or engage in
other sports—while our crowd sped off
on the sick iron-horse at a snail's pace.
Jim Rankin got off and walked to the
next flag station to tell ’'em the engine
was coming. As we passed the humble
ottages along the road, we thought we
conld descorn a tear in the eyes of the
gaping women as the windbroken iron
steed crept by them. How they pitied
the poor sick thing! Large drops of
sweat rolled over its chest, and its
breathing was so weak that one could
hardly hear it. Yet there was a little
lite left and it struggled on with its pas-
sengers at the rate of a mile in 30 min-
utes, Finally wo struck a down grade,
and then the engineer, Judge Smith, as
sured us we'd make time. We did, fora
few rods, and the sick iron horse seemed
fad for the relief. The throttle valve
waving given away, all lung power was
gone, save what little steam passed thro’
a pipe as big as our little finger, We ex-
vected the iron steed would kick the
oe before we'd get to Coburn, All
on board felt sad—while those left be-
hind we imagine were mad. At onetime
it seemed the critter had drawn its last
breath. But with a little robbing down,
and a throwing in of kind words, the
horse kept a~going. Ye gods, what an
opportunity for taking an observation of
the country ! but when the poor, sick en-
gine fell into our view all gladness was
dispelled by the idea how the horse was
suffering. But we got to Coburn—the
critter was slowly and gently switched
off and a butty telegraphed for from
Sunbury to pull out the train from Zer-
by's. At Coburn Judge Smith did all in
his power for the relief of the sick pet—
peppermint, balsam de maltha, the
1 bottle, aud castor oil were used
~but what are these in a case of broken
throttle valve! At 6 p. m.the buity from
Sunbury arrived, and with big tears in
its eyes towed off the train up the road
and with it the sick steed which was
safely lodged in the hospital for iron
horses at Sunbury. May we never again
have such a sad experience, If we hear
of a big burial at Sunbury, we'll be able
to guess all the rest. We hope that en-
gine will never meet us again on our
travels,

BOUND TO THE RAILS,
A Railroad Man's Awful Position—Sup-

Lewistown, Pa, Augost 16.—~One of
the most fiendish crimes that ever had its
inception in the soul of human beiogs
and carried into execution, was perpetra-
ted upon Mr. Thomas Crepps,s division
boss on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Mr.
Crepps was walking on the railroad track
making his way home, about 9 o'clock
on ¥riday night, and when near Ander-
sun Btation, a few miles above this place,
he was attacked by three unknown men.
The assailants knocked Crepps down,
and robbed him of his silver watch and
a month's salary that he had just re-
ceived. After the robbery the flends
g 1 and bound him band and foot,
and then tied bim firmly across the
track, and harried away.
Crepps knew that a freight train was
due in a few minutes, and began a strug-
gle to which the desperation of an immi-
nent death lent superhuman strength.
He wrenched bis feet from his boots and
succeeded in extiricating his right hand
when the expected freight train came in
sight, One minute more and the thongs
would have been severed, The strug:
gling man rolled off the track and the
iron horse came rolling on, crushing the
fingers of his Jeft hand. After the train
had passed Crepps was found by a track-
walker, and the gag removed, Crepps
was carried to his home at Granville, and
his condition is crities!.
Yesterday and to-day all the tramps
that passed up and down the road were
arrested and searched, but no evidence
of the robbery in the bape of the missing
property could be found.

THREE BROTHERS KILLED IN 12

violent deaths of John, Wyman and Ja-
son Truby, three brothers, which occur.
red between 11 o'clock on Friday night
snd 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, has
created a profound sensation in the vil.
lage. The three men were sons of a wid-

John was 34 years of age and was a
flagman on the East Branch Railroad.
On Friday night about 11 o'clock he was
sent to change a switeh on the road, and
in running along the track he fell and
struck on his head, breaking his neck
and ernshing his skull.
Jason Truby, aged 36, worked in the
slate quarries. Oo Saturday morning he
was crossing a cavity which was filled
with water from the recent rains, The
board tipped, he struck his head against
a stone and he was drowned. Wyman
Truby, aged 38, was a miller, and was at
work in the mill at 10:30 o'clock, The
flooring of a grain bin gave way in the
room above and he was burried beneath
hundreds of bushels of wheat. When he
was taken out he was dead. Messengers
started from the quarry snd the railroad
to tell Wyman of his brother's death.

body was being carried out. Mrs, Truby,

BOMETHING LEARNED FROM THE
HEATHEN,
A London paper in a recent issue
dwells with unfeigned simiration on the
innate and cultured politeness of the av-
erage Chinesemen. It is understood that
the practice of the most refined polite-
pess is cuitivated and incolosted on
higher grounds in China than in any oth-
or country in the world and it is inti-
mated that a good many of more progres
sive nations might sit at the wooden
shoes of the Celestials and take lessons
in this line.
It is well known that the ancient doe-
trine of absolute reverence on the part of
children for their parents, the habit of
unquestioning filial obedience and the
old and earliest form of religions wor.
ship, known as ancestral worship, among
the Chinese, bave all tended to develop
the modern Chinese general and special
politeness A great many Americans
iasngh at the apparent submissive ways of
the Celestials, and these are all a part of
the same orders of discipline. Bat are
we not often erring in the other ex
treme ?
