From Austin,
On the seventh page of this lssue is
a condensed, yet complete, report of
the Austin disaster, The account was
written a few days ago, and since the
number of lives lost have been re-
duced to between one hundred and
one hundred and fifty.
Mrs. J. D. Bmithgall, nee Miss
Romie Van Pelt, came to Centre Hall
from Austin on Tuesday, and in relat.
ing her personal experience during the
catastrophy stated that the pen pie.
tures in city dailies were not over-
drawn, except that the loss of life was
not as large as was first reported,
Mr. and Mrs. Bmithgall were on the
streets when the dam broke, and the
first word they had of the brake was
the shriek of a woman whe gave infor-
mation, Mr. Bmithgall was skeptical,
and made no immediate effort to flee,
but soon his ears csught a sound the
like of which he had never heard be
fore. He was then convinced that the
warning was not born of imaginary
fright, but that tbe dam had broken
and the waters were rushing through
the gorge aud would soon lay waste
the town. The couple fled, carryiog
with them the two-yeat-old dsugh-
ter, Helen, to their home on the bill
side where their five-weeke-old son
was left in charge of m maid,
A place of safety was spon reached,
where they viewed a most horrible
scene, It was more like a dream than
a reality. Iotimsate friends and se-
sociates were carried to their death
before their eyes, and in 8 [few
moments the wealth of many was
totally destroyed. Mrs. Bmithgall
anid the saddest scene of all was to
witness strong men--men of the
world—weep like children for their
loss, their loved ones, their property,
their all.
The Smithgall family were hizhly
favored, their loss was very light,
scarcely worth mentionivg, aod this
all through an sceident. Just above
their home, which is on semi-high
ground, houses, logs, and debris of
a protection to their property.
When night came they were, like
most families, without fuel and light,
the natural gas having been cut off
Farther up the Lill lived a lady who
took compassion on tle Smithgall
baby, aud loaned the family a little
stove, a lamp was sccured from anoth-
er party, and thus they were living
like princes compared to hundreds of
others. Accommodations were given
all unfortunates they could make rootn
for.
Mrs, Emithgall for the present will
remsio in Centre Hall with her grand-
mother, Mrs. Busanna Spangler. Mr.
Smithgall who was principal of the
Austin schools, is doing all he can to
help the unfortuuates in the stricken
town.

In a recent issue mention was made
of the superior quality and the great
yield of apples in a young orchard
fertilized and sprayed by John C.
Rossman, of Centre Hall. Tuesaday
the entire crop was sold at thirty-five
cents per bushel, Mr. Rossman’s part
of the contract calling only for pick-
ing and putting the apples into
barrels, the delivering of the fruit to
the station to be paid for by the
purchaser, G. Meyers, of Mt, Joy, who
also furnishes the barrels. This is the
first crop of any consequence this
orchard ever bore. The fruit consists
of Baldwins, Spies, Greenings and
Ben Davis, about one half of the crop
being of the Iatter variety, which sc
counts for the somewhat shading in
the price. It is estimated the yield of
the orchard will be fully four hundred
bushels, most of which can be picked
from the ground.
In this issue appears an article on
“ Uplift” written by Prof. Alva Agee,
of Blate College. His views so
thoroughly coincide with the beliefs
of the Centre Reporter that it is urged
upon every reader of this paper to
carefully study it. It is worth the
reading twice, and serious refl-otion

Ef
The Great Violinist Didn't Play the
Miser on This Occasion,
The following story places Paganini
in a better light than this musical
miser w amed to appear. And
really one is Jed to wonder which Is
the true Paganinl-—the miser or the
kind artist giving his talent to assist a
poor servant girl. One morning the
maid who waited on him in Paris
came to him, weeping, and told bow
ber lover had been conscripted and
gent away to the war, and she, of
course, was too poor to buy a substi
tute for him.
Paganini resalved to ald the girl and
took a unique way to do it. He pro
cured a wooden shoe and so fashioned
it that it could be strung up and
played like a fiddle. Then le adver
tised that be would give a doncert and
play five pleces on the violin and five
on a wooden shoe. Of course this
strange announcement drew a good
house. The violinist had given the girl
tickets to the concert, and after it was
over he went to her, and, pouring 20,000
francs into her lap, he told her that
she could now purchase a substitute
for ber sweetheart and with the re
mainder set up housekeeping. He also
gave her the wooden shoe that had
brought her such good fortune and
told her to sell it. Of course this curl.
ous instrument brought her a goodly
sum, which she added to the amount
which was to bring her domestic hap-
piness.—W. Francis Gates in “Anec
dotes of Great Musicians.”

It remained for Philidor, the great
est genius at ches yf up to his
time, to play blindfolded in England in
1783 against three of the best players
then living, winning two games and
drawing the third, surprising his an
tagonists and the throng of onlookers
by keeping up a lively conversation all
the while. Phillidor's achievement ns
to the number of simultaneous games
has been far outdone by Paul Morphy,
Paulsen, Blackburne and several of
their successors. But Phillidor, lively
Frenchman that he was, still holds the
palm as a conversationalist and player
at the same time.
Phillidor was the assumed name of
Francols Andre Danican, born at
Dreux in 1726. He was educated as a
court musician for Louis XIV. He com.
posed music to Dryden's “Alexander's
is Ki
Feast” and to many operas, all long
since forgotten. Dunican’s fame does
not live in musle, but as Phillidor, the |
chess player. As a chess player he vis.
fted Holland, Germany and England, |
In 1749, while in England, he published |
his “Analysis of Chess,” a work which |
has taken its place among the classics |
of the game: He died in England Aug. |
