Tae NEw RAILROAD FOR BELLE- |
FONTE A Deap Sure THING.—For
some time there has been considerable
talk about a new railroad which is to !
run into Bellefonte, but owing to the
vapory nature of which such rumors
usually partake the Warcavan deem-
el it best to refrain from saying any-
thing
readers substantial facts.
Bellefonte is to have a competing line
of rail-road and that within a year.
Such a statement may surprise some of
you but it is a fact all the same. A |
number of gentlemen bave been at work
for a long time on the project and now,
the final arrangements having been
completed, all that remains to be done is
the building of the road.
The Central Rail-road ot Pennsyl-
vania ; Walter L. Ross, President;
Wm. J. McHugh, Secretary and Treas-
urer and J. W. Gepbart, Superinten-
dent of Construction, has been in exist-
ence as an organization for nearly two
years and during that time the sole pro-
ject of its members has been to give
Bellefonte the benefit of a competing
line of rail-road. The fruit of their
labor has come at last and the dreams
of those who have long seen a “boom”
day for our town when she has a second
rail-road line will soon be realized.
The new line is really an extension of
the Beech creek rail-road, which is now
under the direction of the New York |
Central and Hudson River Rail-road
Co., and will connect with it near the
station at Mill Hall. The survey for
the road brings it into Bellefonte at the
foot of Lamb street, after having fol-
lowed the canal bank from Armor’s gap
on the Milesburg pike. At Armor’s
gap it turns in and follows the water
draught towards the Nittany mountain,
crossing the Jacksonville road on the
Kline farm, and running on over to the
Fishing creek road which it crosses on
the Curtin farm. Near Nigh bank an
intersection is made with the Nittany
Valley rail-road and the route continues
south-east toward the mountain. After
reaching the foot of the mountain the
road curves east and continues straight
down the valley, passing within a mile
of Zion and running through Hecla,
Hublersburg, Snydertown, Nittany
Hall, Clintondale, Mackeyville, Cedar
Springs and thence north through the
gap to Mill Hall where the connection
v th the Beech Creek road will be
made. Stations will be erected at all
towns along the line.
We say within a year the residents of
Nittany Valley will see long freightand
passenger trains steaming along the line
of the Central railroad of Pennsylvania,
yet while placing the time twelve
months ahead we have the assurance of
tha Superintendent of Construction that
if money and men can do it the road
will be completed by the first of Janu-
ary next.
The survey makes the route about
twenty-seven miles in length and it is
estimated that it will cost $375,000 to
build. The citizens of this place have
subscribed $75,000 for the building of
the road, but for every penny subscrib-
ed they are to receive first mortgage
bonds, guaranteed. The work of con-
struction will be actively begun on
Monday morning. Most of the rights
of way have already been secured,
shanties have baen built along the line
for the workmen, and agents of the
company are now hunting ties and
laborers.
The road traverses a rich agricultural
country and passes right over the cele-
brated Nittany ore beds. It touches all
the principal towns en route and besides
connecting one of the richest valleys in
the State with tke commercial world, the
new road will be popular because of its
picturesque route along Fishing Creek
and through the Narrows.
The new rail-rcad is an assured fact.
We know whereof we write: There
is no unfounded conjecture this time.
The substantiability of the enterprise is
seen in the fact that two of the organ-
izers of the new road are on the newly
constructed board of directors of the
Reading system. It is backed by tho
best people ot Bellefonte and we have
the assurance of J. W. Gephart tha
‘the thing is a sure go.” Mr. Gep-
hart brought himself before the people
as the organizer of the Valentine Iron
Co., and as its President has made the
. hitherto unsuccessful plant a paying and

—The Lock Haven Express, in

AMATEURS ON THE STAGE. —The peo-
pie of Bellefonte have been more than
surprised at the recent development of
so much theatrical talent in their midst.
i During the past winter amateurs have
| appeared at the opara hous2 in the drama,
comedy, opera, minstrelsy and farce,
every atteropt having been successfully
carried out, and in a manner far out-
ranking many of the professional pro-
ductions which have been put on the
stage here.
The Bellefonte Minstrel Company,
the Opera Company and the Dramatic
Club have made successive “hits” with
their work, but the entire distinction of
each organization’s field from that of
the other renders a comparison of the
ability of their respective membership al-
most an impossibility. Hach organiza-
tion has been cordially received by criti=
cal audiences and perhaps the highest
testamonial to their credit is the fact
that ail have pleased a Bellefonte au-
dience.
The latest success has bean that of the
Dramatic Club in its production of the
“Arabian Nights,” a three act farce, on
last Tuesday night.
The plot takes the farce turn on the
discomfort of Arthur Hummingtop, an
English clubman, who after marrying a
beautiful girl finds that he has wedded
her mother, Mrs. Gillibrand, and her
brother, Joshua Gillibrand, a simpering
youth of questionable intelligence.
Hummingtop. during a shopping expedi-
tion of his wife to London, eludes the
prying eye of his mother-in-law and has
a “night off.” An affaire d’amour with
Rosa Colombier, a circus girl, who
calls on him next day, results.
During the call Mrs. Giliibrand ap-
pears and in order to escape her wrath
Hummingtop introduces his quon-
dam friend as the wealthy niece, Daisy
Maitland, whom he has been expecting
from America. Mrs. G. receives the
supposed heiress with open arms, all the
while laying her plan for matrimonial
designs in favor of Joshua. The plot
thickens when the true heiress arrives
and Hummingtop’s escapade is dis-
covered, and a pretty fainting scene con-
cludes the second act. Hummingtop af-
terwards proves his faithfulness to his
loving wife with the story of the “Arabian
Nights.” Joshua marries Rosa Colom bier
before his “ma’’ could force him to do
otherwise, and Daisy Maitland is happy
with Ralph Ormerod, an American
school friend of Hummingtop’s whom
she accidentally met on the Atlantic.
The play was prettily staged and went
with a dash that was refreshing to the
fashionable audience assembled to wit-
ness it, The characters of Mrs. Gilli-
brand and Rosa Colombier were excep-
tionally well taken by Misses Katharine
Harris and Mary Valentine. The state-
ly bearing of Miss Harris and her true
interpretation of the aguressive English
mother-in-law were at once ideal and
exceptional in an amateur. Miss Val-
entine as Rosa Colombier the adventur-
ess was a success. Her vivacious man-
ner and bright 7epartec thoroughly
brought out the idea of the author when
the character was cast. The other la-
dies on the stage were Mrs.
Hummingtop, prettily portrayed by Miss
Rebekah Blanchard; Daisy Maitland
into which character Miss Emily Val-
entine put interest; and Barbara, a maid,
for which Miss Charlotte Crittenden
proved her adaptability. The gentle-
men who took part were: John M. Dale
who made a good Arthur Hum-
mingtop ; John M. Blanchard, whose
interpretation of Joshua Gillibrand cer-
tainly met a hearty response in the au-
dience. The character is a hard one but
he succeeded with it. Edward Valen-
tine’s Dobson, the valet, was none the
less meritorious because of the compara-
tive insignificance of the character, the
best of the profession often find the sim-
plest things the most difficult to portray.
was excellent. At all times he was at
ease and his every word was audible in
every part of the house.
A Fine Cikcus.—Walter L.
Main’s circus on Monday was an eye-
opener for those who, because the show
is a stranger in this section, anticipated
that it was a cheap concern. The im-
| mense auditorium and menagerie tents
| were none too large for the features
which made up one of the best shows
yet seen here.
| was a clean, bright and handsome dis-
| play of new wagons and magnificent
I 'horses. The acts in the three rings and
| the racing features in the hippodrome
‘course were first-class in every particu-
‘lar. There were no confidence men
| hanging upon the outskirts of the show,
| and all the employes were a waell-be-
‘haved lot of people. A show given for
the pleasure and entertainment of the
i people, rather than for every dollar
which can be squeezed or stolen out of
their pockets, is worthy of high praise.
' The Main show justly bears a fine rep-
“utation in the east, and will win gold-
i en opinions on its present western tour.

Gazette. Main’s show will exhibit in
Bellefonte on Saturday, May 27th.
