SUME.—It ' is now certain’ that‘ within a very few weeks’, the heavens will again be lighted by the lurid glare of mol- ten metal belching from the old Valentine furnace, wheels will start revolving again and that great industrial heart will throb with an activity never before known in its history. Since the old charcoal furnace passed out of existence that valuable property has had an eventful history. Capitalized once at $650,000. and paying dividends, it has gone through various stages of prosperity and depression, making and wasting fortunes, until it was finally bought at sheriff’s sale by the Commonwealth Trust Co. of Harris- burg for the sum of $86,00C. The old Val- entine charcoal furnace brought and amassed wealth in this community for nearly a century, but the modern blast giant that reared its’ towering stacks and ovens on the same site dissipated much of it ; whether by mismanagement or condi- tions which no one could control is not a question for discussion here. Suffice it to say that a new lease of life has been given the plant and it is to resume under condi- tions more favorable than ever before. The history of the Valentine iron works, the Centre Iron Co.and the Empire Steel and Iron Co. operations are alike unim- portant at this time, when the new Nittany furnace demands attention. For several weeks, in fact ever since the property was abandoned, by the Empire people, there have been rumors of a sale. Various interests have been investigating it, but legal questions involving titles, rights, etc. have been so complex as to balk most of them. Not until the recent sher- iff's sale, when the Commonwealth Trust Co. bought it for the bond holders, has everything been cleared up satisfactorily. Negotiations followed more actively and the result has been that the property bas passed into entirely new hands. Again we see the man who has been do- ing more than any other within the past decade for Bellefonte, J. Wesley Gephart, president of the Bellefonte Furnace Co. and superintendent of the C. R. R. of Pa., at work. Though modestly disclaiming any credit for the new enterprise he directed at- tention of capitalists to the idle plant here and his experts were called upon to exam- ine the property for report. It was upon their report that it was bought and on Wednesday of last week the conditions were agreed upon—all except the matter of personal property about the works, which is claimed by the American Bonding and Trust Co. of Baltimore, the corporation that once bought the property with the hope of saving something for Robert Valen- entine. And Wednesday of this week the final papers were signed and work com- menced ov repairs at once. That same evening. L.T. Munson, who will probably be the manager, went hurrying off to Pitts- burg to contract for the supply of coke and master mechanic Joe Wise was instructed to put a gang of twenty-five men to work cleaning up at once. They are at it now. The puichase money stipulated in the contract is $90,000. The vew company will be known as The Nittany Iron Company. It will be incorporated and will bave offices in Bellefonte and New York. The company is in no way connect- ed with the Bellefonte Furnace Co. or the C. R. R. of Pa. though several of its indi- vidual members are interested in those two properties. The plans for operation are already form- ulated. It will cost possibly $25,000 to put it in working condition. The brick for relining the stack have been ordered and the work will be pushed to an early completion. A new roof will be put on the casting house and the lines of the fur- nace changed to push its output as far above the hundied-ton mark as possible. Mr. Gephari is in New York now in con- sultation with others in interest. Before going he stated that the new furnace will probably not he run with the same regu- larity that the Bellefonte furnace is ope- rated. It will not enjoy the same economic ore and lime stone resources, consequently will he kept in condition at all times to run only on good markets. This is not discouraging, in tbe least, for Mr. Gep- hart sees three years of activity ahead for the iron business and it is largely on account of this assurance that he has become so interested in this enterprise. The rumor that all of the ore fields in Nittany valley will be woiked by the new company is not correct. In the first place a number of them aie so much ex- hansted that it would not pay to install ex- pensive machinery for the little bit of ore that conld be secured and, in the second, the new company will have an unlimited supply from other sources. Nigh and Tay- lor banks will be worked until they are cleaned up, then the machinery will be moved from them to other places until all of the Nittany fields are worked clear out. Their output isn’t entering into the calcu- lation but as they become the property of the new corporation it is its intention to exhaust them gradually, and effectually. Mr. Gephbart did not care to make public the personnel of the new corporation. [sis known, howeyer, that he and F. H. Clem- son are two of the parties in interest. In the organization of a working force there- for it is only natural to conclude that Mr.’ Gephart will be the superintendent while Mr. Clem~on will add the supervision of the Nittany fields to his already extensive duties as superintendent of mines in the Scotia region. A charter is to be asked for on April 25th, the applicants being J. W. Gephart, F. H. Clemson, L.. T. Munson, Archer Brown and William Sampson. In this connection it will be a matter of great interest to know that it will not be the intention of the new corporation to dis- lodge or trammel the work of the Standard Scale & Supply Co. Ltd. which occupies part of the yards at the furnace. # 3 About seven rafts have reached Lock Haven on the present flood. ee ; ——=See Lyon & Co's nobby new clothing and shoes for men, women aud children. > ——W.

I I I ——After being ill most of the winter with consumption Edward Armstrong passed away at his home at Lemont on Tuesday ; leaving a widow and two children to mourn hisdeath.

Deceased was a member of the Methodist church and only 35 years and 5 months old. Interment will be made at the “‘Branch’’ tomorrow, Saturday morning, #4 ten o'clock: A Bic INDUSTRY CAN BE SECURED.-- Bellefonte has an opportunity to secure an- | other big industry. . One that will guaran- tee to employ from 350 to 400 men and women wants to locate in Bellefonte and has made a proposition that is fairer than any ever presented to this town by pros- pective business enterprises. Lovett & Co., the big silk manufacturers, are looking for a location for another mill. For several years they have wanted to establish a plant here, but have never been able to sufficient- ly interest Bellefonte. Now the proposi- tion is so fair that it is demanding atten- tion. : They propose to establish a plant that will employ from 350 to 400 persons, most- lv women. To do this they will need a building and several acres. of ground, but ask for no bonus or gratuity. What they do want is $25,000 of home capital invested in the buildings and grounds, all of which | amount to be refunded in interest bearing bonds secured by a first mortgage on the property. If that isn’t a fair proposition no one can name one. The Lovett people do not ask for a cent as a gift and they do not want a penny of local mouey tied up in their prop- erty that is not secured in the best possible way. All they do want is merely the in- vestment of enough money by the Belle- fonte people to insure local interest in their enterprise. Many will say ‘‘a silk mill is no good, it employs too many women,’ but the per- son who goes to the bottom of business con- ditions, carefully and without prejudice, will see the many empty houses there would have been in Bellefonte. the idle grocer’s clerks, despoudent butchers, de- pressed shoe dealers, unfrequented notion and millinery stores had the army of girls employed by The Penna. Match Co. not been active here during the past few years. True, girls do not earn as much as men but it all helps and the WATCHMAN is of the opinion that this silk mill enterprise is a matter worth taking up, especially since it requires no bonus. In Lock Haven they look upon their large silk mill asa very de- sirable industry. Let us have oue ‘in Bellefonte. *oo ANOTHER IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE. —Another important change was effected in business circles in this place last Friday, when W. R. Jenkins, so long senior part- ner of the firm of Jenkins & Lingle, found- ers and machinists, withdrew ; leaving J. Howard Lingle as sole owner of that long established business. The works that Mr. Lingle has come into sole possession of have been doing so much of late as to make them more important than ever in the industrial interests of this community. They have had and era of great prosperity during a few years just past and Mr. Lingle will throw every energy into pushing it still further. He has succeeded to ownership of all of the firm's valuable patents, among them that fot the celebrated Jenkins’ power hammer. Mr. Jenkins’ retirement from the firm was necessitated by the increasing demand on his time at the Howard iron works. ER THE SMALL Pox APPARENTLY UNDER CONTROL.—Inquiry at Rebersburg, Mill- heim and Zion last evening elicited the in- formation that the small pox is not spread- ing in those communities and has been con- fined to the places where it was first dis- covered. The rigid quarantine observed has bad much to do with preventing a spread of the disease. The Rebershurg cases are all convales- cent. Everyone in the infected Frank home is able tobe up and about but the Hou. Willis R. Bierly, who was last to con- tract the disease and was so run down by waiting on the others that when he did get it the case was a bad one. He is getting along encouragingly. Edward Winters, of Millheim, who was undertaker Campbell's assistant at the funeral of the first small pox victim, is al- so improving. In fact his case never was real bad and editor Hosterman, of the Mill- heim Journal, thinks that the effect of his own vaccination is far more horrible than Mr. Winters’ case of small pox, though he hasn’t offered a trade as yet. ‘The case of Charles Rockey still mysti- fies the people about Zion. He is getting well about as fast as possible, but no one seems to know whether he has small pox or something else. eel ——A correspondent at Eagleville writes us that the report that there are several cases of small pox at that place is a mis- take. He says: “There is no small pox in this place. Neither have Mr. and Mrs. Stov- er been exposed to the disease as has been reported in this place. It isa shame for people to report and publish such false- hoods, when it injures innocent people as has been the case with Mis. Linn and the Stover family. Mrs. Linn keeps the Blanchard house and such reports injure her trade.”’ ; LUTHERAN CHURCH.—Easter services in the Lutheran church were very impressive and beautiful. The Rev. William Moses, of Harrisbuig, vreached a fine sermon in the morning. The church was handsome- ly decorated. The music was of a high or- der. Thechurch was crowded with a deep- ly interested audience. The pastor, Dr. Holloway, received eighteen members into the church by confirmation and letter. This congregation has much to encourage it. There will be more additions shortly. The communion was continued in the even- ing. The church was again filled. The Rev. Dr. Lippincott, of Philadelphia, preached a fine sermon. re PR ——See Lyon & Co's new drop stitched hose from 150 up. ——See . Lyon & Co’s new styles of cor- sets from 25cts to $2.25.

Frank is a son of James N, VanOrmer and “deviled” in the Centre Democrat office, when it was located on old ‘‘Strychnine Corner.” After | leaving Bellefonte he wandered over most of the country, traveling to California via the Panama canal route, but finally drifted back to Harris- burg, where he embarked in tiie produce busi- ness.

The carpenter work of the new store is be- ing rapidly completed by Mr. Miller and Scott Stover, of Rebersburg. The latter is a good mechanic and a jolly good fellow. John Tolbert has gone to Windburn, where he has secured employment as a clerk in a grocery. John has always proven himself to: be honest and obliging, which are requisites of a good clerk. 8. J.
