"HUEaAHi FOR NgREr EEoLAsD.D--
Six long days Of most wonderful anxiety
eliminated with Inst Saturday night, dur
ing which our breath was almost entirely
suspended because Of the intense interest
we felt In the grand International walking
match going on at Gilmore's Garden, New
York. With what suspended breAthIess-
ness we watched the progress Of thoss
strong-limbed champions beggars de-
scription. To think that nations future
glory hung on the slender thread Of
walking race was enough to move the
stoutcst heart. Throughout the day and
az We songht our downy couch at night We
could almozt hear the sound Of their feet
on the solid floor.
If these champions bad been performing
work that would have exhibited some
result for their pains, VIC would not have
experienced any interest. II they had
each been saving I've hundred cords Of
wood, or If they had been walking back
and forth carrying bundles for a store there
would have been no reason for the unusual
e1ertion Of thought In their behalf But
because they were engaged in the glorious
occupation Of blistering their feet, exert
ing their neither limbs until they were
swollen 10 twice the ordinary size, and

But it is over, and a. a result our most
noted champion has suffered an ignoInin-
ious defeat and the belt goes TO England.
lis true, we are blessed with some splendid
walkers, male and female, bot until we
can recover the belt which is now owned
by England e champion, we must g. q ma
ton hang our heads In shame. What does
all our past glory amount 20 now7 or
what use arc our achievements in science
and art They oil fade into insigniacanes
before the awful fact that our glorious pc
desirian belt is gone. The defeat Of our
champion falls on us like the defeat of
Goliath Of Gath on the Philisiines. We
call on every native Of Centre county TO
Immediately cart all other duties aside and

DEATH PROM EXPLOSION. .--Thursday
last an accident so distressing that its simple
relation gives pain occurred 10 four little
boys In our neighboring city of Altoona,
the particulars of which wc CLEAN from the
Tribune. They were NIL quito young, the
Oldest George Brady Murray being but G
years of age, Oscar Pensyl aged 8, and
Wilbur Pensyl and John McClosky each
4 years old. Early on Thursday MrF.
Harry Pensyl passed through her yard,
saw an object lying on the ground, dis
lodged IL and passed on. Quickly would
the mother of little children have picked
the object up and put IL where It would
have done no harm had she the
faintest idea of IL deadly nature--that IL
was either percussion cap, such as Is used
on railroads to give alarms, or n glyeerine
cap. That same afternoon about o'clock
the four lads mentioned above were at
play in Mr.. Pensyls yard, aud seeing this
peculiar looking object lying on the ground,
picked 1t up, and their curiosity was Inn
mediately aroused TO see what was inside
of this strange looking object. LETS crack
it, and SEQ what's In II, for it's heavy, "
was the suggestion Of Johnny McCloskey,
which was Immediately carried into e1ecu-
tion By Oscar Pensyl, who procured an axe,
and, while his companions were interested
spectators, struck the fatal blow. 4 loud
explosion followed, fragments few through
the air, and each little boy lay on the
ground. All soon recovered except Johnny
McCloskey, who did not become conscious
until his mother who lived ne1t door flew
to his assistance He then made two inef-
fectual efforts to rise, and was carried home
by his mother. II was discovered that all
the boys were injured and Johnny Nc
Closkey fatally. lie fingered until o
O'Clock that night when he expired. The
injuries received by the other boys were
painful though not dangerous. The ac.
count In detail is very heart-rending, and
the result must have brought sorrow to
