BUGGIES COLLIDE
IN A STORM

Walter J. Lowrie, son of J. W. Low
rie, Strawberry Ridge, and Carl Wag
ner, son of @. H. Wagner, Ottawa, two
we'll l-known young men of this coun-
ty, had an exciting experience near
Allenwood a night or so ago and mar
rowly escaped serious injury
They were attending festival at
Allenwood and about midnight were
returning home when they were over
taken by a heavy thunder shower. The
storm burst in its fury Just as they
reached the Baptist Church near DR.
Truckenmiller' Frank Allen was
driving behind them and called to
them to drive into the shed connected
with the church for shelter. They
were in some doGbt in the darkness as
to the location of the gateway and
paused for a few moments in the road,
a circumstance Mr. Allen was not
aware of, who whipped up his horse
expecting to dash into the church en-
closure after the two young men. The
consequence was he ran into the first
buggy and in an instant there was a
frightful mixup of horses, men and a
mass of wreckage. To make the mat
ter worse the rain poured in torrents,
the lightning was vivid and almost
continuous, while loud peals of thund-
er followed in quick succession.
Mr.. Wagner, who some time pre-
viously sustained fracture of the col.
lar bone, had not yet recovered anc
carried his arm in a sling. Under the
circumstances he was in no position
to help himself. All fought heroical-
" and great as were the odds escape d
with slight bruises. Mr. Aliens bug
gy was total wreck the wheels on
one side of Mr. Lowrie's buggy were
reduced to splinters, but beyond this
the vehicle was not much damaged.
The party spent the night at Dr.
| Truckenmiller repairing to theil
respective homes the next morning.

FARMERS PICNIC
POSTPONED

The disagreeable weather conditions
of week past on Saturday culminat-
cd in an atmosphere of such remark
able humidity as to make physical
comfort out of the question even for
those who were wholly at leisure
The day began with rain and rain fell
at intervals during the day, the sun
which shOne occasionally only contri-
buting to the general discomfort by
adding heat to the humidity.
Such was the day on which was to
occur the widely advertised Farmers
Tri County picnic at DeWitt's Park
The rain which continued to fall up
to nearly ten O'Clock seemed to place
picnic out of the question. By that
time the park was saturated with
water and according to indications
there was plenty more to come
down.
A large portion of the farming com
munity about Danville was represent
ed in the curbstone market, and to
these farmers it was decided by the
Committee it should be left to settle
whether the picnic should be called
off or not. The farmers were consult
ed from one end of market to another
and it was found that with two ex-
oeptions every one was in favor of
calling the affair off and of selecting
another date.
This measure was accordingly adopt
ed 1t was announced that there
would be no attempt to hold picnic
on that day, but that the event would
be held OH Saturday, September 2nd.
This. it was thought, settled it, but
about the middle of the afternoon
news reached Danville that several
hundred farmers had assembled at the
Park and were having a good time. As
was natural the news of the postpone
ment had not been heard over more
than a mere fraction of the big terri
tory represented. The farmers simply
used their Judgment in the matter and
when it frightened up during the
forenoon some decided to take the risk
and started for the picnic.
Among those who gathered at the
Park were some who had driven many
miles. They ate their dinner in the
wOOls and had as good time as pos
sible under the circumstances. Dur
ing the showers they crowded in
the pavilion. About O'Clock the or
ohestra went over in response to re-
quest and some dancing followed
TO say that the picnic bore any
semblanCe to success, however, would
be to overstate the fact and there were
probably lnone present but cotncided
with the Committee that the picnic
ought to be repeated. This, then was
the unanimous agreement and the an
nOunCment was made that the picnic
will be repeated on Saturday. Septem.
ber 2nd at DeWitt's Park.
Judging by the enthusiasm and the
large number that turned out in the
face o. the unfavorable weather con
ditions it is believed that had the day
been fair the assemblage of people at
eWitt's Park would have broken all
past records.

Freight Wreck at Catawlssa.

Through freight, No. SO. with a
Tamaqua crew, passing through Data
wissa at 8 80 O'Clock, Friday night,
was in collision at Main street cross
ing at Cataw issa, which, easily. might
have ended much more seriously than
it did, car filled with powder being
next 10 the car struck by the engine.
Each night the enigne gets coal and
water at Catawissa, and usually the
engine is cut from the train on the
other side of the creek bridge but on
Friday night il was not until Main
street crossing was reached that the
train was cut
Forgetting that the train was left at
an unusual place, the enigneer started
the engine at high rate of speed
down the track. after securing coal and
water, aud a collision resulted.
The engine hit the train with such
force that the report aroused the citi-
zens of that section, who flocked to
the scene, The tank of the engine was
badly damaged and coal from the oAr
that was struck was hurled into the
street, with pieces of wood from the
car
In the very next car was the powder,
and the reason assigned for it's failing
TO explode is the care with which it
had been packed
The engine was taken to the Data
wissa shops, where it will be repair
ed.
Another engine was secured and
traffic was delayed only about fifteen
minutes
