Swab, a well known Philadelphia salesman who was on the train wrecked at Howard last week, appeared in the Pittshurg Leader, Among the many things he said we find the following sharp criticism for the railroad company, the physicians at Howard and others: “STL wns ¢ engineer, died instantly, He did not. He was buried in cond, and when dug abil! HE ine. ont was althoueh eufferine terribly from pains in his back and side. He was internally injured, but I claim he choked to death from asthma, What I don’t understand is why it took so long for the company to get surgeons on They did not arrive un til 7:80, three hours after the nceident. Instead of getting from Lock Haven, fourteem miles away, they sent the grounds. men to Tyrone, forty-one miles distant, and then waited for the wreck train before sending them. I think if a physician had been there a little over an hour sooner Wood's life could have been saved. When the surgeon did arrive they had no absorbent cotton, and no bandages except some very heavy and dirty ones that were of no fireman received a fracture of the skull. “The only antiseptic bandage that they had to put his head was one that I had in my bag. I'm not a phy- sician, but I carry such things, the shape the surgeons were in. Hse. on By the time the surgeons arrived Wood was cold in death and we had removed him to a hotel at Howard. A doctor from Howard was present, but he seem. ed afraid of blood and didn’t do much good. “In Centre county the railroads are required to fence their roads. The cat tle wander to crossings, however, and get on the track. It issaid the farmers drive the cows on the tracks in order to get damages when the animals are killed. It looks like it, for I counted eleven cows along forty miles of track.” local Veteran Plonle Pursuant to a call the executive com. mittee the Veteran Club of Centre coun. ty met at the office of the secretary, H. H. Benner, on Saturday, July 25. The roll was called when the following mem- bers of the committee responded : Austin Curtin, ex-officio ; John I. Curtin, J. L. Mulholland, Christian Dale, George P.

H that the day and date of holding the picnic for this year be changed. D. F. Fort. ney then moved that the day for 1. ing the basket picnic of the Veteran Club of Centre county on the grange park grounds be on Friday, 18. A committee of three was appoint- ed to secure speakers, and also a com- mittee to consist of those who reside in the neighborhood of Impds. It was de. cided that all G. A. I. Posts and other ex soldier organizations be invited to participate, and that the picnic be ex- clusively a basket picnic. M nse Lon ke wineinoel Nearly Saffoented, Ed. Stump, living about two miles east of Centre Hall, while assisting in drawing water from the cistern on his farm, last week, felt a very peculiar sensation about the head and went toward the barn and entered the feeding entry. He had hardly entered when he fell forward on his face upon some hay, in a faint, in which position he was found a half hour later. He was black in the face, and was carried tothe house and medical assist ance quickly summon- ed. He is now suffering from an attack of congestion of the brain, and is out of danger.
