company was held Wednesday evening,
The purpose was to discuss the prospects

with some alterations and the addition of
a few labor-saving mechanisms the plant
could ‘he again blown in and run“at a

THE CEAMPION TROUT.—Al Hoffman
now wears the hroadest smile as well as the
biggest belt for having caught the daddy
trout of all trout ever taken from Spring
Creek. On Tuesday night Al. put outa
number of snake poles for eels. Wednesday
morning; on going his roundg, he went to
lift one of his poles set in the creek
between the railroad tressle and the old
Valentine rolling mill. Al. got hold of the
pole and began to pull bust the line appear-
ed to be anchored fast. At first he thought
the hook had caught on one of the pig iron
billets that might have been washed down
from the Bellefonte furnace, or perhaps a
stray beam of one of the Sfandard’s 100-ton
scales, hat after repeated efforts he felt the
line give and slowly he hauled it in. Slow-
ly, from out a deep pool, he saw something
being dragged that for an instant almost
It was not an eel and yet
not quite large enough for a whale, and
while Al. knew the shad season was on he
bad never heard of any of that species of
fish coming near Bellefonte unless packed
in‘ice. Plucking up courage Al. kept on
pulling and soon he was able to see the
bright and red spots on the sides of the fish
and then he knew he bad caught the same
monster trout that Fish Warden Tom Har-
ter and ex-Warden Rightnour bad been af-
ter the past six or eight years. With some
difficulty Al. succeeded in getting the trout
out on solid land and then he took a survey
of his fishship. It proved to be one of the
species of California—Salmon — rainbow
tront, and as proof of its strength and
toughness six fish hooks were found imbed-
ded in various parts of its voracious mouth.
The trout was brought to the water works
and there measured, showing the following
dimensions :

For almost two hours the trout was kept
on exhibition at the water works and all
the fishermen in the town, as well as the
has-beens and would-be’s, and several hun-
dred other people went out to see the sight.
From the size and appearance of the trout
it must be one of the original fry dumped
in the creek ahove Brockerhoff's mill some
twenty-five years ago. Candidly, however,
it is a good thing the monster was caught.
It is such trout that keep our streams de-
pleted by eating brook trout, as they would
experience no difficulty whatever inswal-
lowing a fish eight inches to a foot in
