A BUSY END OF TOWN,
—in
of
Business Energy.
The South portion of Centre Hall al-
ways has the appearance of, and in re-
ality has, business push and energy.
The steam engines and machinery are
constantly singing the industrial song
that is a delight to hear. All the busi-
ness enterprises are in full blast, with
orders in advance. A large amount of
shipping, consisting of lumber, staves,
ete., is constantly being done. The
various lumber operators with
headquarters in or in the vicinity of
this place, contribute largely to the
traffic of the railroad. Principally
among these shippers are Messers. E.
M. Huyett, Orwig & Krider and Wm.
Douty. The half dozen or more stave
mills also contribute a large share to the
railroad’s outgoing tonnage. Among
these are Messers. E. M, Huyett, Wm.
Colyer, D. C. Armstrong, Sterrett Me-
Nitt.
A. P. Luse & Bon, who
erate a well equipped planing mill and
saw mill and do all kinds of work in
their line are as busy as bees—no time
for anything but business. Their trade
extends over a large territory, and
their output of manufactured articles
used for building purposes covers every
thing in that live.
The Howard Creamery Company is
another plant that is growing like a
mushroom but as solid as a rock.
Nearly four hundred pounds of butter
are churned daily, at this point, be-
sides what is done at the other plants
in Penn's and Nittany valleys. Their
butter has a reputation for fineness of
quality and goes to the consumer as
fast as made,
op-
returns are such as to make the milk
producer interested in the welfare of
the Wilsons,
Wm. Colyer who has a large estab-
lishment constantly going, finds
pleasure in giving employment to the
working men. His output covers a
DOUTY SAW MILL,
A Traot of Seven NMundred Acres being Cut
Near Town.
Wm. Douty, of Loganton, has his
saw mill running in full blast, A tract
of timber land containing nearly seven
hundred acres purchased of Col, James
P. Coburn, located about two and one-
half miles north of Centre Hall, was
purchased by that experienced lumber-
man and will be turned into lumber of
all kinds. Up to this time mostly
heavy bill stuff was sawed, but a lath
and shingle mill are being placed at
present and every possible bit of tim-
ber will be utilized. This mill gives
employment to a number of men and
teams in the woods and on the mill,
and besides furnishes employment to
Messrs, Wm. Floray and Forest Ocker,
at this place, who load the lumber ou
the cars, It will require several years
to finish the job and once removing of
the mill in order to reach the heavy
timber to the best advantage.

rious accident Saturday morning while

longing to farmer John D. Moore, west

Cat te Pieces,
Monday night of last week about 8
o'clock an unknown man was killed in
the lower yard at Altoona. He was
killed by a stock train and his body
was so badly cut up that it could not
be recognized. It is thought the man
was a drover, in charge of some stock.
How the accident happened is not
known, as the first intimation of the
fact that there had been any one in-
jured was the finding of the remains
along the track.
Over a Burning Bridge.
Monday evening of lust week when
the P. & E. train on the Catawissa
branch approached the wooden bridge
near Mausdale the crew discovered the
structure was ablaze and burning rap-
idly. The train was running very fast,
and the engineer opened the throttle
ns far as he could. The crew stood at
their posts and prayed for their lives,
With a rush and roar the train swept
on to the bridge, which is sixty feet
high, the flames leaping all around the
cars. The train, however, crossed in
safety. A wreck train was rushed to
the scene, and by hard work the fire

{of room. Some new machioery will
