CREASED THE RAILS.
Boys Got Even with Oisobliging
Railway Company.

Railway Company.
For some time past a spirit OF
enmity has existed between the state
college students and the officials of
the Bellefonte Central railroad COM
pany, because the latter have on va
rious occasions refused to run special
trains to suit the students, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. And
then to add fuel to the flame, a COOL
ness has also sprung up between the
students and the society people of
this place.
On the occasion of of the seniors
recent reception and hop at the col
lege the railroad company ran a
special train to the college for the
benefit of all Bellefopters who desired
to attend the affair This was the
opportunity the students had been
waiting for. About a mile and a
half from the college there is quite
a steep grade and when the special
struck the incline there was a buzz
and whirr-r-r-r, and the train soon
came to a standstill, although the
wheels were spinning until the fire
flew.
Steam was shut off and an ex-
animation made, when it was found
that the tracks were creased with
butter for several hundred feet, and
it took the united efforts of al on
board to get the train up the grade
and into the college station an hour
behind time, and this was only ac-
complished after the tracks had been
thoroughly wiped and sanded.
And when the train was started
homeward it encountered the same
trouble on a grade in sight of the
college and was again delayed long
time. The butter that the students
used in the greasing act was taken
from the college creamery.

Yesterday afternoon the driver of the
Ann Arbor Bakery wagon attempted to
drive across the street railway track
in front of a moving car at Tenth and
streets, but came to grief in the un-
dertaking.
The car struck the wagon full broad
side, rolling it over and off the track,
and when it finally settled down all the
wheels were reaching their tires
Heavenward.
Fortunately no damage was done be-
yond a few breaks in the harness, out
the street for many yards in all direc-
tons was literally covered with bread,
cakes and pies.
In about ten seconds 200 small boys
had gathered from all parts OF the
compass, and a scramble unsurpassed
in the annals of piedom ensued. 1t was
free pie-eat, and after the driver had
secured his horse and put sticking
plaster on his nose and shin, his stock
in trade had disappeared. He, how
ever, was philosopher enough to thank
his stars it was no worse.

THE WHEELWAY.
What Happened to It-Repairs to be
Made

The Construction Committee OF the
Capital City Wheelmen's Club request
riders to keep off the Folsom wheelway
until Tuesday. 1t is too soft for use in
consequence of the heavy rains. The
artificial grades to the American River
schoolhouse were finished yesterday.
The wheelmen are greatly annoyed be-
cause some malicious persons have
driven carts and ridden horses upon the
wheelways. The club will give So re-
ward for information that will lead to
the conviction of anyone who does this
malicious mischief.
Mr.. Davis, who cut and graded the
wheelway, reported tc the Committee
of Construction yesterday that at
Brighton Junction he and others yes
terday saw J. E. Camp of the late Grand
Jury, a professional ''reformer' and per-
sistent agitator, deliberately leave the
county road and drive his horse and
buggy upon the wheelway, and that he
was seen to keep upon it as far as the
witnesses could see him. Camp was
hunted up and charged with the act but
fatty denied it and pronounced Davis a
liar. The committee says it believes
Davis.
The committee has met with misfor-
tune in the loss of the Alder Greek
bridge, which cost some $50. 1t was
washed out on Thursday night and will
have to be replaced at new cost. An
appeal has been made to the Folsom
people to stand this cost. Chris. Eek
Ion has been authorized to replace the
bridge, beginning on Tuesday or
Wednesday. Most of the washed-out
lumber has been recovered The water
did not top the bridge, but the creek
changed it's course and cut under the
foundations.
The two bridges below Mayhew's are
under water but still there and secure.
On Monday they will be raised and
heightened, and the path to and from
them broadened
The wheelway from Alder Creek to
Folsom is on a new route, running out
to the river, and is the finest stretch on
the whole line. All the rest of the
wheelway is in good condition, and will
be better than ever in a few days.
