February 3rd, 1038 all Echoes F rom the Past FIFTY YEARS AGO An eclipse of the moon Saturday | night was observed by quite a; large number of Centre Countians. | Dr. Dunwiddie, of Philipsburg, | was seriously injured on Saturday, while crossing the railroad in his | sleigh. A train came thundering | slong and before the Dr. could get across struck the sleigh, in- | jured the Dr. about the head and broke three ribs. The new furnace when within a few hours of running out iron met | with a slight accident in the ex-| plosion of a surplus gas, on Mon- | day evening, which delayed them | about twelve or sixteen hours. Ev- erything was put in ample order | in a short time, Mr. J. N. Craig, the genial and | gentlemarfly master mechanic of | the Centre Iron Company, gave us a call and substantial aid in the shape of a subscription and ex- tended the courtesies of the estab- lishment to ye editor. Mr, Craig! is a practical machinist, and is at home amid the whiz and noise of machinery. In a report published by James Schofield overseer of the poor for Bellefonte Borough, Mr, Schofield noted that a debt of $2,000 which the office had Incurred before he became the incumbent twenty months previously, had been paid. In addition, the office maintained and assisted in keeping 63 persons outside the Poor House, at a cost to the public of $2620.13. This was the largest number of persons ever! kept by the Borough outside the Poor House. The cost of maintain. ing the Poor House for the year was $622.42. The complimentary banquet ten- dered the Messrs. Collins and their associates in the new enterprises, the Buffalo Run, Bellefonte and Bald Eagle Railroad and the Belle- fonte Purmnace, by the business men of Bellefonte at the Bush House on Thursday, was an elegant af- fair. In the absence of Governor Beaver, who was snowbound on his way to Bellefonte, General Hast- ings presided. At the first table sat Governor Beaver (after his train arrived), Judge A. O. Furst, Mr Mclenahan, Philip Collins, John G. Love, Esq., and brother McPike, of the Altoona Times. At the south end of the room at the head of the table sat Governor Curtin, Cameron Burnside, Hon. J. P. Gep- hart, J. L. Kurtz, Jonathan Har- per, Thomas Collins, Postmaster Dobbins, Mr. Brandon and Mr. Potts. At another tabie were Wal- ter Graham, E. M. Blanchard, C. f.. Calloway, Edward McHugh, Thomas A. Shoemaker, W. F. Re- ber, James H. Hughes, Committee- man Brown and Dr. George Har- ris. At other tables were Editor Peidier, Prank McCoy, A. J. Cruse, 8. A. Brew.

There was no hayseed In his hair but his | face was pretty well covered with a two-weeks-old beard. On Saturday last the first train consisting of an engine and five loaded cars was run over the new Valley Railroad. The train was under the management of J N. Craig, Master Mechanic of the Centre Iron Company, while his brother, William was at the throt- tle of the new engine, Immense snow drifts, six and eight feet deep, were ploughed through, and the engine went up the 170-foeét grade with its burden of cars with ease. A speed of twenty-five miles an hour was attained. The party consisted of the lady clerks of the company and some of the employ- es. The engine Is a splendid hard- coal burner, weighing 91,000 pounds and said to be the heaviest ever run into Bellefonte, and was built in New York state. The en- gineer, William Cralg, is an old hand at the business, having served ' 15 years on the P. and E. road. Five miles of the road are completed and just as soon as the weather permits the entire road will be fin- ished. Thus a new ore territory of untold richness will be opened. The bald heads of every age, the the young married married men, doctors, lawyers, editors, merchants, me- chanics and milllonaires—every- body turned out on Saturday night to se¢ Duncan Clarke's female minstrels. They were bllled to “do anything a man would do,” and as there are s© many things a man does that ladles do not do this was doubtless the drawing card. There was not a lady In the hall and certainly none on the stage, it was a stag gathering all around. There was an abundance of feminine un- loveliness in tights, mother hub- bards and dresses cut decollette at both extremities, many of the young females had lost their wis- dom teeth twenty years ago. The acting would have put to shame & Bowery dive, and the singing was comparable to the filing of a circular saw, the unearthly sounds extracted from a horse fiddle, the music of a boiler factory. On the whole, they might have done bet- ter. They could not have possibly dane worse. The entertainment committee of Gregg Post was very much disgusted as they did not know the character of the troup until after the contract was made and could not back out then We have sald nothing of the moral character of the crowd for the rea- son they didn't have any. IL was however, oil a par with the acting Bd. Kote: Were You there, Char- ley? Nn — - slivery grays and the old TWENTY YEARS AGO In an effort to conserve fuel, the four Sunday Schools of Millheim voted 10 hold Union Sunday School services for the remainder of the winter. Separate sessions were to be conducted for the various de- nominations. In order, ostensibly, to save wheat for American soldiers overs seas, the Government ordered two wheatless days each week, and one wheatless meal each day. Buch a procedure, it was announced, would make avallabie 50 million bushels of wheat for American and allied soldiers. A group of Milesburg young peo- ple participated in a sledding party to the home of Mr. and Mn. George Buckley, of Howard. They left the Diamond at Milesburg at 7 o'clock and reached their destin- ation at 10 o'clock. Members of the party were: John Stermer, Joe Landis, Robert Knisely, George Gehret, Charles Ray, Gilbert Aflk- ey. Mildred Alkey and Dalsy Shawley. Frank Smith, of Bellefonte, serv. ing with the Fifteenth Engineers in Prance, was among the Ameri cans wounded at Cambria, having been bayoneted by the Huns, His shoulder wound was not considered serious. Owing to the suspension of the city steam service the Lutheran and Reformed congregations were to meet together in the Reformed church until a boller could be In- stalled In the basement of the Lutheran church. A shed attached to what known as the Brown barn, owned by Anthony and Arthur Brown, and for many years used to house the Prank P, Bartley livery, caved in from the weight of snow on the roof. A large quantity of 4-inch soil pipe awaiting use on the Kel- ley-Wion garage, and which was stored In the bullding, was buried in the debris, but was not dam- aged. The ghed was valued at about $400 and its owners did not plan to rebuild . was ARY Yes, because his dad isn good business maa.

Centre County ministers noted a sharp decrease In the number of marriages they were called upon to perform and attributed the inac- tivity of Dan Cupid to the war. Register Frank Sasserman also noticed the substantial decrease in the number of marriage licenses issued.

Jack Bicketts, of about six miles from Snow 8hoe was awakened one night by the sound of breaking glass downstairs Upon investigating he found one window broken out, and in endeav- oring to learn thi cause was con- siderably alarmed when he dis- covered the tracks of a huge bear in the snow around the house. He also found that the bear had upset a garbage barrel, and had probab- y satiated his hunger on the con- tents. A hunt was instituled for the bear the folloving day, but the hunters were not successful in locating it The effort of the Commission to stock the woods of Centre County with Elk came to a sorry end. The bull of the Coburn herd of Elk had become so obstre- perous, chasing children and even charging older persons, that it wns decided to kill him. A group of wardens set out to hunt the bull and after a three days’ search they located their quarry at Inglesby. Sixteen shots were fired into the animal before he dropped dead The carcass only weighed about 800 pounds—considerebly jess than its normal weight should have been and conclusive proof that there wns insufficient food for its needs It was believed that the fact that it was unable to obtain sufficient food caused it to Invade the haunts of civilization and display a nasty temper. The carcass was shipped to Harrisburg, where it was to be mounted. The elk had been liber- ated in the Coburn vicinity about five years prior to the time the ex- periment was ended with the shooting of the bull elk, RICH RED BLOOD Rich Blood Astounding Vitality | You can have all theseIF- when vou feel below par, you will take LUEBERT'S IRON TONIC | TAPLETS, Composed of the chem- fea] foods which your body needs to build new vim and vigor.
