W. Kreamer's, In company with Misses Jennie and Ta ey, snd Samuel Kreamer, she attended the Jenkins-Lukenbach wedding at Bellefonte on Tuesday evening. Mrs. E, E. Atrohm, of 8t. Clond, Neb., the mother of the late Miss Beulsh Btrohm, arrived last Wedaesday, to ats tend the foneral of her only daughter. The funeral was postponed until Wed- nesdry afternoon to await the arrival of Mrs, Strobm, who had telegraphed to Pienle Notes. The number of passengers transported by railroad to the pienio, from Monday to Saturday morning, was 10.500, as giv- en us from the railroad officials, Wednesday there were over 4000 brought by rail, and that was the best day for attendance. There were probas bly 3000 on the ground as tenters and who came in their own conveyances on that day. There were 8 number of yambling es- tablishments, which follow all such gatherings. On the whole the order was a8 good as could be expected. There was considerable grumbling all around on account of over charges for space to exhibitors, and on Friday in the new station, we are told, some of the dissat- isfled parties spoke of splitting off, like at Williamsgrove, and starting up a new encampment in the Fort woods-—one promising to give $500, two others $100, and three others $50 a piece. There was no agrionltural machinery worth mentioning, except what P. Hoff. er had on the ground. Wm. Wolf & Son and Garmans had creditable stores. Gephart, of Millheim, and Smith of Mils ton, had musical instruments. MecCals mont’s had some fine carriages; Chaapel, of Williamsport, had a fine display of flowers and plants, and the State College had a good exhibit. Mr. F. M. Barkholder, of Centre Hill, also had a fine exhibition of implements on the ground. Among the mad ones was Abe Baum, of Bellefonle, who thought it was a fraud that he could not get his hack ad- mitted to the ground. Co. Master Frain made a glowing ads dress, at the opening on Tuesday. Mr, Frain always makes an interesting ad- dress and has a voice that can be heard a square distant. Col. Weaver, the Co. lecturer also delivered an interesting address. It is a caution to see how shy the far mers are of the hign hat gentry, they look upon ali the wearers with suspi- cion, as the swindlers of the farmer are known to wear high hats as a general thing. . The Tusseyville band furnished the music, snd did credit to themselves. The executive committee did its work welland had all im excellent order; much of the success of the affair is doe to the good management of the commits tee, all of whom are respectable farmers, There was one amusing fizzle, that was the “editorial banquet,” it was a regular fizzle-fozzle. a fiddler~isonard affair, or leonard-fiddler scheme to get a little notoriety. There were perhaps » dozen editors on the ground, but two, Thomas and Feidler attended the “ban quet.” The rest, from whom from $30 to $40 dollars of free advertising has been sponged annually, looked on from a dis- tance and langhed, for reasons known to themselves. The chairs had to be filled by invitations to parties outside the “State journalists.” It was supposed there are now a number of woodcut {ances of the master on hand, which will not appear in the “state journals.” A gasoline lamp explosion caused a tent of a Bunbury candy stand to take fire and burn down. At the Lutheran lunch rooms about 2400 meals were eaten from Monday to Saturday afternoon. The Presbyterian ladies also had a fine lunch establishes ment, from which they realized quite handsomely, Veteran's day, Friday, was a grand day foi the “old boys” They had a good time and were addressed by Gov, Curtin, Gov. Beaver, and others, Can didate General Gregg was on the ground also Gov, Bt, John and made good ad dresses, It i» plain that the crankiness of the “head of the machine” will ultimately work to the injury of the picnic and has see this, and the vast crowd outside of the grange is outspoken in this direc- tion, The thing of crankiogly showing petty favoritism to certain pets is drive ing away exhibitors and crowds. The RerorrEr baviog originated the idea of the picnic and encampment feels some pride in its success and trusts the warns wiil be headed.

The apple crop this year is very large and it is impossible for some owners of orchards to dispose of the fruit at any price, Many wishingto give them away bat can find no takers, and the fruit is allowed to rot on the ground. It is next to impossible to sell a bushel of apples #8 we are informed, and the county is over stooked; U. B. Appointments, The appointments of the U. B. church for Centre county are as follows: Belles fonte, G. W. Emin izer; Millheim, to be supplied; Port Matilda, George Noden; Stormstowm, J. F, Talhelm; Pailipsburg, W. Cramer. The presiding : this district is Rev. T. P. Omer, of Al ‘Withstood It All That the new reservoir of the Centre Hall water company is adequate and oa- pable of supplying water to a town many times larger than Centre Hall, was fully demonstrated last week, during the patrons’ picnie, when it withstood the severe test and kept up a fall supply of water, and not once did the water sup» ply fail through scarcity of water in the reservoir. On Thursday noon, no water was to be had at the several hydrants but that was accounted for by reason of the laying of pipe. A 2} inch iron pipe was loaned the committee by the water company to deliver the water from the street main vnpon the grounds several hundred yards distant, Instead of oon~ necting to the street main, a connection was made with the 24 inch to a § inch branch. It was expected by them that the § inch pipe would delivers 24 inch stream, but experience sadly demonstra- ted that such was not the case, and the result was that many were greatly incon- vienced at a few brief iatervals by the lack of water, caused by about ten hydrants drawing water from a § inch supply. The reservoir on Tharsday evening, when inspected al six o'clock, showed only a fall of thirty seven inches below the overflow and with several thousand barrels of water on hand. The new system was testod to its utmost, but withstood it all. mm eM A Ap— Drew Large Crowds, The greatest drawing card and stiracs tion during the picnic was the marvel. ous skill with which the champion fans cy shot, Mr, C, K. Bober, handled the gun, Exhibitions of his dexterity in manipulating the gun were given daily in the afternoons in the fleld adjoining the pienic grounds, and large crowds of people congregated to witness the uns paralelled scene of Mr, Sober breaking blue rocks with hisgnn ia every cons ceivable difficult position. He has adds ¢d many new and difficult features to his already long list and bis audience was held spéll-bound with amazement at his feats, Oa Friday aflerasoon ian his exhibition, he used live pigeons, and was fully as saccessful, - Bodfast for 81 Years, Joseph Rothrock, son of the late Dr, Isaac Rothrock, says the Lewistown Free Press, is now being cared for at the hospitable residence of William Howe, near Mitland.. Mr, Rothrock is a piti- able sight. From spinal affection he has been confined to his bed for thirty-one years and blind for twenty-eight years. He subsists on the plainest and mildest food and bas not tasted bread for twenty- years, From baying the Bible read to him he can quote whole chapters there from verbatim et literatim. Mr. Roth- rock’ hearing is acute and his conversa. tional powers are superb He is now pro- babiy aged about 50 years, st fll sion Pockets Picked, Many were made vietims of the light fingered gentry at the picnic and had their persons relieved of waloables One man from Pittsburg had his pocket picked of $160, on Friday evening, at the picnic station, while awaiting the train. Another gentleman was relieved of his purse which contained $25 in money and a check for $300, which fortunately was not endorsed and valueless except te the owner, Many others were relieve ed of their pocket books and the thieves were not detected, Knee Cap Broken; On Friday Daniel SBlutman, employed on Meyer and Huyett's saw mill, near Linden Hall, came down to the picnie, and raised a disturbance in the bar room of the hotel. He was ejected by Chief of Police Julian Fleming with some foroe, and falling he landed upon his knees, receiving a severe injary by having his knee oap broken. He was taken to his home, and a suit for damages it is said Daniel will institute against Chie! of Police Fleming. i A SPIO Mes 100 Polandors Strike.

A Bullet for John Cox, News reached Shamokin Wednesday that John Cox, who served three years in the conuty jail for the murder of Milo Jump, and who since last fall has been a fugitive from justice was shot Tuesday in the Chicago house, at Chicago, Cox's career has been a queer one, He was an esteemed citizen of Lewis. burg for ten years and prominently identified with the Democrats of North- vmberland and became proprietor of the Palmer house, In his employ was a man named Milo Jump, who was dis- charged for unfaithfuloess, and during a dispute Cox shot and killed Milo. Cox gave himsell up to the authorities, was tried and sentenced fo three years in the county jail. He served his term and was afterwards arrested for beating a car conductor, but subsequently skipps ed his bail and fled to Chicago, Death of Peter Hartman. Peter Hartman, a young man aged near 28 years, died Tuesday of last week at his home at Potters Mills, after a long and lingering illness, which finally ters minated in kis death. The immediate cause of the voung man's demise was from an affection of the spine, superin- duced by a fall from a box car in the res pair shops at Altoona, about one year sgo, where he was employed. He work: ed several weeks at his trade after re ceiving the fall from the car, but was then compelled to take to his bed tn which he was confined for near three months. The funeral took place from bis home at Potters Mills, interment be ing made in the Bprucetown cemetery, 7 * Bow $500 Reward, A reward of $500 has been offered by the Union county commissioners for the arrest and conviction of the party or par- ties guilty of the murder of Alexander Btover, late of Hartley township, Union county, who was last seen May 106th, in the coaling at Trutt’s saw mill in Harts ley township, and is supposed by his friends to have been murdered. Stover isa native of Asropsburg and at one time was employed by D. J, Meyer at the Centre Hall hotel. He disappeared very mysteriovely and the supposition is that he was murdered or otherwise foul- ly dealt with. Horse Killed. John Conley, east of the station, last week had a horee killed under peculiar ciroumstanoes. His hired boy was tak- ing the team to the barn and had passed through the gate when the horses starte ed running and be was unable to res strain them and they ran into the woods one horse striking a tres with its head and knocking its brains out.

It first made its appearance in Oveida township, among the cattle of Jacob Prough. It yery soon communicated with the cattle of his neighbor, B. 8, Fouse, and up to last night these farmers had lost about a doz en head of valuable cattle. Other farmers in his neighborhood are complaining of lossss to their cattle, and thue far there has been no means found to either alleviate the sufferings of the sfflicted cattle or cure the disease. When first seized with the complsint the animal apparently shows a helpless weakness in the neck; the ears droop, the head falls helplessly, and the lower jaw rests on the ground. The legs of the afflicted animal alse show & weak- ness, and in a short time the animal be- comes prostrated, The eyes become glassy and protrude. It is believed by many of the farmers that the disease is a form of the Texas spleenic fever and was brought into this county through the importation of south. ern cattle. In almost every instance the disease has thus far proven fatal. The farmers are strongly considering the ad~ vieabilty of appealing to the state board of health for some remedy to abate, if not eradicate the disease. To our Subscribers.
