From the first sound of the bugle in the morning at the band con- cert, until the end of the exercises at the High School building In the even- ing, not a hitch occurred to mar the pleasures of the day, except rain near the close which made it necces- sary to hold the speaking in the school building instead of on the commons. Perhaps the greatest and most thoroughly enjoyed event of the day was the parade, which formed near the new school building and marched over the business streets of the town. The morning trains brought throngs of people to Bellefonte, and by the time the pageant was ready to move the route was lined by an eager and happy mob. led by Marshals Dr. M. J. Locke and J. Will Conley the order of the parade was as follows: The famous Coleville band who never ap- peared to better advantage; Major R. A. Beck mounted on a charger, who led the logan Fire Company with their engine and hook and ladder truck; the neat-appearing Undine Fire Company with engine; float con- tributed by the Loyal Order of Moose, on which appeared their degree team in regalia; pretty little girls carry- ing hoops and baskets, an idea con- ceived by the Bellefonte Basket Shop. mummers representing various busi ness houses of the town; vehicle with dainty advertisement of Aiken's store; vehicle from the John Meese store; float by Fuel and Supply Com- pany; a unique exhibit by Krumrine's Pharmacy depicting the different re- Sults derived from celebrating the Fourth in a safe and sane manner, and in the old way; large float from Morris’ coal yard containing a bevy of pretty girls; following this came gorgeous turnouts of Montgomery & Co.

In the advertisement class, for beauty, originality, the greatest amount of effort and the best business advertisement, the Bellefonte Fuel & Supply Co. was unanimously given first honor: but because both partners of the company and the designer and decorator of the float were actively interested in the management of the parade, first money was not accepted $5.00 in gold was awarded Krum- rine’s Drug Store for their excellent float advertisement, "The old Fourth and the new.” The second prize, $5.00 was captured by the A.

A fatal accident occured in what is known as the Humes farm quarry, near Coleville, operated by the Amer- ican Lime & Stone Company, on Sat- urday June 28th, caused by a cave-in of many tons of stone and earth. The accident occurred near the close of the afternoon, while eight men were at work in the quarry. All escaped from the path of the hugh avalanche of stone except two Austrians, John Parrish and George Riggles, the form- er of whom was crushed so badly that he died shortly afterwards in the Belle fonte hospital. Riggles has a broken left leg and many severe bruises but will recover, Many narrow escapes were made by some of the men who were working nearby the ledge that fell. Harry Lambert, of Milesburg, engineer of the dinkey which hauls the cars from the quarry, made a thrilling get-away. Mr. Lambert was in his engine di- rectly opposite the over hanging rock when it started to fall. He noted his peril and leaped from the engine, bare- ly in time to escape instant death. The dinkey was completely buried in the hugh pile of rock. The foreigner who lost his life was unmarried and was aged about 35 years. He leaves to survive his par- ents in the old country, to whom he is said to have been devoted, sending his wages to them at regular periods. He had planned to go home and buy a farm in a short time. The funeral was held from the Catholic church on Monday morning at 9 o'clock. MOTOR PARTY INJURED.

The comrades then scattered in groups ov- er the field, thus ending a very de- Hghtful meeting, which may be the last general meeting of the 148th Pennsylvania Volunteers The letter addressed to the Colonel of the Regiment is given herewith, and is as follows: Gettysburg, Pa., July 2nd, 1913. Hon. James A. Beaver, Dear Colonel and Comrade: Your letter sent to us by Comrade Fortney has been delivered and read. While we sincerely regret your inability to be with us on the 50th anniversary of the greatest conflict of modern times, we nevertheless are delighted that you are able to send us words of cheer and greeting; and thankful that you have lived so many years after the great struggle, In which we first met, to render exalted service to our great state as its chief exe- cutive, as a jurist, and to every good work in which men engage. We appreciate fully what you have sald about the staying qualities of the regiment. We do this the more read- ily because no one had more to do with establishing these qualities In the Regiment than yourself, When the Regiment was so flerce- ly assailed at Chancellorsville you did not stand behind us to urge us on, but were in front of us, leading us on and declaring you (we) can drive them out, when you fell, as we then thought, mortally wounded.

There is a number of the Regiment which you wrought into a titanic war bolt, In attendance on this celebra- tion, we are enjoying it, and it great, only one thing greater, and that was the tremenduous conflict which is the occasion of this gather- Ing. The only regret we have, and it Is manifest in the soul of every member of the Regiment present, is the absence of our dearly loved Colo. nel.

Mr, Hummelsbaugh came to Centre county, killed the dogs and caused the arrest of the owners, The act of assembly is very piain regarding dogs running at large ex- cept from August 15 to January 1, when they may be trained, and game wardens throughout the state are in- structed to kill all dogs running deer and they are doing so as fast as they can get the facts, MANY SUMMONED To | THE GREAT BEYOND | DEATH ANGEL BUSY PAST TWO WEEKS. | MANY HOMES MADE SORROWFUL Short Obituaries of Those Who Have Passed Away—Young and Aged Succumb to the Ravage of Dis- ease.
