Philipsburg, Sept. trains, one of them an engine and three passenger coaches, and the other an engine and seven freight cars, both running at a rate of thirty-five miles an hour, collided, as planned on the Pittsburgh and Susquehanna Railroad here this afternoon, and furnished the star attraction of Philipsburg's threeday celebration, as well as a movingpicture film. Between 6000 and 7000 spectators witnessed the novel sight, and there were 500 automobiles lined up outside the roped-off collision grounds.

Spectators began assembling at noon. Plank seats were provided for all in a large grass field on a slope on the west side of the track. Considerable delay was caused by the difficulty in getting the engines both speeded so that they would meet at the desired point, and it was five o'clock before both engines were started for the last time. The crash same at the point designated, the engines met in a mighty roar, reared in the air and then for a minute escaping steam enveloped the wreck. Both engines were a tangle of twisted iron and splintered wood.

One passenger coach was squeezed up like a closed accordion, the car seats being thrown to the east side of the track. Part of the frame of the car had crawled up over the passenger engine. Three of the freight cars were also badly wrecked. Camera men of a film manufacturing company, which staged and directed the collision, as the climax of a railroad drama, say the conditions were perfect for obtaining a perfect film. Tonight a mummers' parade is the attraction for the thousands of visitors.

The celebration ends tomorrow with sports and athletic contests at Athletic Park. PUNXSUTAWNEY YOUNG LADY WEDS SEWICKLY MAN Miss Anna Margaret Ackerd Becomes Bride of M. D. Gannon in Pretty Event. In SS Cosmas and Damains church at 5:30 o'clock Wednesday morning Miss Anna Margaret Ackerd, of Punxsutawney, and Martin Dean Gannon, of Sewickley, were married by Father John Fink.

The wedding was a quiet affair witnessed only by a few friends and relatives of the contracting parties. The bride wore a traveling suit of blue serge, a hat of the same color and corsage boquet of violets and was attended by her sister, Miss Bonita Ackerd, who also wore a suit of blue serge. Mr. Gannon was attended by his broth. er, William Gannon.

Following the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the home of the bride's parents in West End, with vocers for twenty at the bridal table. At 7:14 Mr. and Mrs. Gannon left over the R. P.

railroad for a trip through the Central West. After a three weeks' journey they will return to Sewickley where Mr. Gannon has a home furnished for his bride. One of Punxsutawney's most comely and popular young women, a leader in the younger social set, is the bride of this morning. She is the daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. J. C. Ackerd, and is known to her friends as "Maude." Mr. Gannon is the proprietor of a feed store in Sewickley and a rising young business man in that city.

The newlyweds will start on life's journey with excellent prospects and with the very best wishes of hundreds of friends. At the R. P. station this morning the couple were given a rousing send-off by their friends. The out of town guests were: Dr.

Charles Gaffey, of DuBois; Leonard Ackerd, of Brockwayville, Miss Mary Gannon, of Spirit. R. P. Raises Rates. Notice has been issued by the General Passenger Department of the R.

P. Ry. that is effective October 1st, the price of the straight R. P. mileage book will be $22.50 instead of $20.00.

After that date the book will not be valid for passage on the New York Central, Boston and Albany, or Buffalo and Susquehanna as it is now, but instead the company have become a party to an interchangeable mileage good on nearly every line east of Buffalo and Pittsburgh, which will be sold for $25.00 subject to a return of $2.50 when cover is returned if the mileage has been used by the original purchaser. However, if it has been used by more than one party there will be no refund made. This change is equal to an increase of one fourth of a cent per mile in the mileage rate and there has been no traffic issued increasing the rates for other classes of travel. Heretofore, mileage books of New York Central issue have been accepted for passage on trains of the R. P.

but after October 1st, this practice will be discontinued. Wildcat Reunion. The 105th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, better known as the "Wildcats," will hold their annual reunion at Brookville, September 25th. The services of this gallant regiment began at Yorktown and closed at Appatamox. William McNaughton spent Labor Day with his parents in DuBois.

GAME COMMISSIONER ADDRESSES SPORTSMEN Asks Hunters to Co-Operate in En. forcing The Game Laws of The State. MR. LICENSED HUNTER: I am writing you regarding a matter of grave importance to sportsmen in Pennsylvania, especially those sportsmen who pay their dollar for the Resident Hunter's License. You desire that this dollar shall be expended by those having this money under control in a manner that will benefit you, and no doubt in this way will be done.

No part of the fund collected in this way is being used at this time or can be used by the Game Commissioners until the Legislature has passed tion bills applying it to specified purpose. The entire fund paid last year and that which has been paid up to this time, this year is in the State Treasury, held as a fund separate and apart from General State Fund, to be used under the terms fixed by the Resident Hunter's License Act; one-half of it is to be used for the payment of bounties and the other half for game protection, propagation, etc. Counties under the existing law are required at this time to pay bounties on certain animals and birds when any claims in proper form are presented. The Act relating to the payment of bounties imposes heavy penalties for fraud, or attempt fraud, or assisting in the fraudulent claiming of bounties. This office is in receipt of information to the effect that varlous individuals in different parts of the state are presenting claims for bounties upon animals and birds not specified by law.

We are informed that men are traveling from one county to another in this state are claiming and in some cases receiving bounties for the killing of animals and birds that were either not killed or for the killing of which they have already receivd a bounty, or that are of a kind not considered by the law. For instance, we have heard of the presentation of a number of rat skins as weasel skins. We have also heard of the presentation of a claim by one man for bounty for the killing of fifty (50) Groshawks in May, 1914. The Groshawk is not found in Pennsylvania in the winter time, and I feel certain that from March to November there could not have been fifty Groshawks killed by all the people in thatcounty, instead of by one man, in one month. We hear of Justices who issue certificats without clipping the ears or splitting the face of the pelt as required by law, sometimes without even having the pelt presented to them.

We hear of citizens who sign these papers without having seen the pelt, in this way making it possible for individuals thus disposed to steal your dollars just as surely as they would do had it been taken from your pocket. This money belongs to you and it is up to you to defend it. The money collected through the Resident Hunter's License goes direct from those collecting it to the State Treasury, and that part applied to the payment of bounties goes direct from the State Treasury to the several counties to reimburse them for money paid out for bounties. The office of the Game Commissioner has nothing whatever to do with the matter. It does not touch or control this money in any way at any time; therefore we are helpless in the matter without your aid.

The penalties for collecting, or attempting to collect, or aiding in such collections, are severe, and I herewith enclose to you a Circular Letter upon that subject. It seems to me it is up to you as a sportsman and to your organization to see to it that your money is neither stolen or misapplied. You should at once get in touch with your county commissioners and help them to detect and punish those engaged in this criminal procedure. I hope you will take immediate action in this matter and see to it that Justices obey the law or are punished according to the provisions of the law for their neglect, that those making fraudulent claims are punished as they deserve to be under the provisions of law. Respectfully yours, JOSEPH KALBFUS, LEX N.

BAD AUGUST WEATHER CUTS CORN ESTIMATES Prospects for Spring Wheat Decreases 15,000,000 Bushels and Corn is Reduced 36,000,000. until Washington, Sept.

for the spring wheat crop decreased 000,000 busheels and for the corn crop, 36,000,000 bushels owing to the unfavorable weather during August. Indications now are for a spring wheat crop of 21,000,000 bushels, and a corn crop of 2,598,000,000 bushels, according to the department of agriculture's forecast, issued today. Prospects of oats decreased 37,000,000 bushels, but tobacco prospects increased 71,000,000 pounds, potatoes, bushels, and sweet potatoes 5,000,00 bushels. In wheat only will there be an excess in the country's food crops which might be exported to assist in paying on the nation's European obligations due to the sale of American securities by foreign holders early in the European conflict. All other cereal crops are short.

With the largest wheat crop on record, from present indications 000 bushels, there is a prospect that approximately 300,000,000 bushels might be available for export. With wheat selling at more than $1.10 a bushel, this would cost foreign buyers $330,000,000. It will be offset, however, by decreased takings of American cotton abroad. The department estimates the allwheat crop as 911,000,000 bushels, as compared to 763,000,000 bushels in 1913 and 686,000,000, the five-year average. September's estimate for other crops follows: Oats, 1,116,000,000 bushels; barley, buckwheat, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, tobacco, 000 pounds; hay 69,000,000 tons.

Pennsylvania's corn crop is estimated at 65,000,000 bushels, as compared with 57,057,000 last year; oats, 37,300,000, as compared with 000 in 1913, and potatoes, 25,400,000 bushels, with 23,320,000 in 1913.
