Seven car loads of walnut logs
were shipped from Centre Hall last
week. They were consigned to Ger-
many where there is a demand for wal-
nut lumber. It was a very fashionable
wood in this country some years ago
and late furniture novelties are appear-
ing in walnut. This seems to indicate-
that it will be used again by home deal-
ers, bzfore long, and it might be well
for those who have walnut to hold on
Cases ACTED UPON BY THE SUPREME
Court.—The people of this community
have been very much concerned over a
finding of the supreme court, in session
at Pittsburg, last Monday. Two impor-
tant cases from this county were taken
up there, but only one of them was of
vital importance to the general public.
That was the one concerning the Valen-
tine iron company of this place and the
Pennsylvania rail-road company. The
action of the court is announced by tele-
graph in the following incorrect state-
ments :
The decree of the common pleas
court of Centre county was reversed in
suit of the Bald Eagle valley railroad
company and the Pennsylvania rail-
road company, lessee, against the Nit-
tany valley railroad company and the
Valentine iron company. The action
was brought on an agreement whereby
the defendants agree to give the Le-
mony railroad company and the Bald
Eagle valley railroad company, con-
necting lines of the Sr neyieenia rail-
road company. the traffic to and from
the defendants lands, furnace and rail-
roads in consideration of the purchase at
par of $75,000 worth of bonds of the de-
fendant railway.
_ In October, 1890, default was made
in the interest of the bonds and the
road sold on the mortgage covering
them. The Valentine iron company
subsequently acquired possession of the
road and the plaintiffs also became
stockholders to the amount proportion-
ate to their $75,000 worth of bonds.
The Central Pennsylvania railroad
company came into existence under the
encouragement of the iron company,
and threatens to become a competitor of
the plaintiffs for the traffic of the iron
company.
An action in equity was commenced
and the lower court made a decree fav-
orable to the defendants. The supreme
court reverses this decree, and orders
that all traffic from or to the Valentine
iron company go to the plaintiffs.
As president J. W. Gephart has not
been in town since the case was decided
few of the real facts are known. How-
ever it arose out of an agreement be-
tween the old Centre iron company and
tbe Pennsy whereby the former was to
ship and receive all its material and
products via the latter's lines in con-
sideration of the purchase of $75,000
‘| worth of bonds of the former company
which was then trying to promote the
building of the Nittany valley rail-
road, frcm its furnace here to
tap the ore fields of Nittany valley,
The story of the subsequent failure
of the Centre iron company is well
known, as is that of the sheriff’g
sale of its plant and the purchase by an
entirely new company, headed by J.
Wesley Gepbart.
The plant was refitted by its new own-
ers and put in operation in 1891, since
which time it has been running com-
paratively steady and on a paying basis:
The energy that led Mr. Gephart to take
hold of it also led to his building of the
Central railroad of Pennsylvania two
years later. This road was built to give
the furnace the benefit of competing
freight rates with the Pennsy. The
latter company sceing the loss of be-
tween $10,000 to $15,000 every month
in freight charges filed a bill in equity
against the new Valentine iron com-
pany and the Nittany valley railroad
company, which is a separate and dis-
tinct corporation leasing its line to the
Valentine iron company, to restrain
them from shipping or receiving freight
in any other way than over the P. R.
R. The bill was filed on the agree-
ment made - with the defunct Centre’
iron company and Judge Furst squelch-
ed -it on the demurrer of the defendants
stating that the plaintiff bad no stand-
ing. The decree was appealed to the
supreme court, however, with the re.
sult mentioned above.
Just what the out-come of it will be
is hard to tell. Defendants have ap-
pealed for a rehearing of the case the
result of which has not yet been learn-
ed. The fact that the merits of the
case have never been tried give
ground for the hope that it will
eventually be referred to the lower
court here for a complete hearing. In
such an event the Valentine iron com-
pany could show itselt an entirely sep-
arate corporation from the Nittany val:
ley rail-road company whoee lines it
only operates under a lease. Further it
would be able to show that the agree-
ment made by the defunct Centre iron
company with the B. E. V., B. N. & L.
and P. R. R. Cos cannot possibly be
made to bind the Valentine iton com-
pany which was organized after the
Centre iron company had ceased to ex-
ist.
As the judge's decree has not been
served on the Valentine Co., up to this
time, its exact nature and requirements
are not known. If itshould cut off the
patronage of the furnace from the new
Central rail-road the effect would be
disastrous, but it is to be hoped that
someway out of the dilemma will be
found and we hav enough confidence
in the sagacity of Mr. Gephart to pre-
dict that the present difficulty will be
overcome in one way or another.
The other case to which we referred
is the following :
Justice Dean reversed the common
pleas court of Centre county and order-
ed a new trial in the case of Philip Col-
lins against the Bellefonte Central rail-
way company. In 1885 two connecting
short railroads, the Bellefonte and Buf-
to it.

-
Two IMPORTANT CENTRE COUNTY |
western, were consolidated. Under the
original grants the new company had
authority to construct and operate a
railroad from Beech Creek to Bellefonte
and from thence by way of Buffalo Run
to State College, in Centre county.
To raise money for the construction
the new company executed a mortgage
to the Fidelity insurance, trust and
safe deposit company, as trustee to se-
cure the payment of $600,000 in bonds.
The contractor, Frank McLaughlin, for
a cerlain consideration, transferred his
interest in the rolling stock of the com-
pany to Collins, the plaintiff in the case,
Collins was also a director in the com-
pany, and in December, 1890, the di-
rectors authorized the purchase of the
rolling stock owned by Collins, the
stock to be held as security by Collins
until fully paid for. Later all of the
rolling stock was leased to another com-
pany. Collins sued to recover rents on
the rolling stock held by him and re-
covered $12,000. The Supreme court
reversed the decision and ordered a new
trial.

THEY ARE BROTHERS AND FINE
PuysIiCIANS.— There are few small
towns in the country where the advan.
tage of the best medical skill can be had
at any time, yet in this respect State
College is a noteworthy exception.
That village has two men, in doctors
W. S. and Thomas O. Glenn, who are
in every way fitted to care for the sick
in the community. Both are graduates
of the Eclectic medical institute and
the latter is also a graduate at The Penn-
sylvania State College, having been
graduated from that institution in 1892.
The same fall he took up the study of
medicine and was graduated in the
science this spring, later passing his ex-
aminations before the state board of
medical examiners with grades all above
90.
Dr. Thomas Glenn has decided to lo-
cate with his brother and the latter has
fitted up as fine offices in his remodeled
home at State College as can be found
anywhere. They are equipped with the
most modern’ appliances known to med-
icine and both are progressive men
keeping pace with the advancement in
their profession by continued study of
the best medical works.
The doctors Glenn are courteous and
ever ready to serve the public. They
have a telephone ir. ibeir office and will
be glad to answer calls at any hour of
the day or night. The marked success
which Dr. W. S. Glenn has met with
since locating -at State College can be
accounted for only in the man-
ner in which he has treated the
people of ihat community. Always
careful and prompt he has made a repu-
tation for himself than many an older
physician could be proud of.
BorouGH COUNCIL IN SESSION,--
Members Valentine, Keller, Williams,
Gerberich, Brockerhoff, Brachbill, Bush

‘| properties of Mrs. Jane Brown, Jenkins
& Lingle and S. D. Ray, on east How-
ard street, needed repair notice was
directed te be served on said owners to
make needed repeirs at once or the
borough would do it and charge up the
costs.
Miss Emily Natt’s request for a cross-
ing and street lamp at her home, on
Curtin street, was refused, so far as a
light was concerned, while the need of
a crossing there was referred to the
Street committee. This committee pre-
sented a profile ot a proposed grade for
Cherry alley, between Allegheny and
Spring streets, and reported that an ar-
rangement had been completed where-
by a boardwalk will be laid along south

needed repairs to the boilers at the wa-
ter works and was instructed to negotiate
insurance against their explosion .
Samuel Deihl again appeared before

of three disinterested persons who should
decide as to the location of the line of
his property on Willowbank street, |

ing that it had no right to dispose of
borough property by such means.
Bills aggregating $732.83 were order-
ed paid and council adjourned. :
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS MARRIED.—

——The Williamsport Gazette and
Bulletin : It is estimated that there
are 22,000,000 feat of logs in the river
between Renovo and Lock Haven, and
about 26,000,000 feet in Pine Creek. If
a flood were to come, to bring these logs
in it would furnish employment for
about two thousand men, taking the
driving to the boom, the rafting out to
the jack mills, then to the saw mills,

——Last Thursday evening, October
3rd, the wedding of Harry V. Hile and
Miss Rosa Jean Twitmire, two well

given at the bride’s home where the
band serenaded the young people.
Rev. Robert Erskine Wright, rector
of St. John’s Episcopal church of this
place, surprised that congregation by
handing in his resignation on Tuesday
afternoon. It is to take effect Decem-
ber 1st. The climate here is too severe
for Mr. Wright, who suffers with
catarrhal affections and he is forced to
leave on his health’s account. His
ministry at this place has been very
fruitful, he is an excellent bible student
and is considered the best rector the
church has ever had, consequently the
parish will part with him with deepest
regret.

Diep Wire ConNsuMPTION. — The

scarcely more than passed the portal of

She had been ill for some time and

would never recover. Deceased was the
daughter of Thomas Toot and was 26
years old. Funeral services were held
at her late home Tuesday morning at 8

——You will doubtless be surprised
to know that ons »f Bellefonte’s meat
men has such a reputation for the excel-
lence of his meats and for the judgment
he uses in killing and preparing cattle
for the market that he has built up a

W. A. Lyon ships meat regularly to
Tyrone, Lock Haven, Lancaster, Har-
risburg, and Ridgway, as well as to
Philadelphia and many other points.
This is due to the fact that he never
uses anything but the best stock the
market affords. Then too, butchering
with bim is a science thoroughly master-
