" CENTRE COUNTY TO GET A STATE FIsH HATCHERY.—It has been definitely settled that the new state batchery provided for by the last session of the Legislature will be located in Centre county and within five miles of Bellefonte. The state fish commissioners were halting between Ms. Alto, Franklin county, and a location in this county up to last week, when Supt. Meehan wrote to Col. Reeder, in this place, that it had heen decided to locate the hatchery here, if the public would furnish the site and a rail-road siding. As has been ' previously stated in these columns the local Sportmen’s League had taken the matter up as soon as it was known to be a possibility and when Mr. Meehan’s letter came u meeting was called at once and canvassing committees were appointed. The response was almost spon- taneous. In less than two days $1,100 were raised and the site assured, because the balance seemed easy. The site that Mr. Meehan selected lies east of the Lewisburg railroad tracks and immediately south of the Pleasant Gap station. It is made up of 4 acres and 22 perches owned by Mrs. S. H. Williams, of this place, for which she asks $500. 8 acres and 66 perches, owned by Mrs. Murilla Dawson, of this place, who asks $100 per acre for it. - 3 acres and a spring of water owned by Siney Hoy,for which he asks $200. The spring has a temperature of 42° and the water will have a 14ft. fall to the hatchery. While the lists containing the contribu- tions are not complete at this time the present showing is as follows: Bellefonte $1,100. State College, estimated, $150. Pleasant Gap, estimated, $75. Snow Shoe and Philipsburg $322. Some contributions are expected from Blair county, where Mr. Miller, a member of the Commission re- sides. He took a very active part in inter- est of the Centre county location and we know that all of the local workers will feel deeply grateful to him for his efforts. The committee was especially pleased with the response from Philipsburg and Snow Shoe. A thorough canvass was not made in the former place yet the result was more than was anticipated. The proposed hatchery will represent an investment in buildings and ground im- provements of about $20,000. It will be the largest trout hatchery in the United States, and to make it attractive the state fish commission will make a beautiful park of the grounds, erecting fountains,and interllining it with delightful driveways and walks for the enjoyment of the public and accommodation of students who desire to study this interesting branch of nature. Lurge and commodious buildings will be errected and twenty or more men employ- ed, with a monthly pay roll of $1,000. This will add financial interest to the com- munity. In the buildings will be found aquaria, tanks and ponde filled with the fish of all kinds, all ages and all sizes, with their eggs and young in various stages of development. For Bellefonte this will mean not only a great amount of pleasure but thousands of dollars as it will increase business in the way of travel. Every three years the streams around Bellefonte, and throughout the country, will be heavily stocked with thousands of large trout that will be necessarily put in streams from the hatchery after they are past the age of usefulness for spawn. lege AN UNIMPORTANT MEETING OF COUN- ciL.—The borough council met on Monday evening with members Jenkins, Reynolds, Mallory, Wise, Whittaker, Derstine and Kirk present.

CRIDER AND SoN RETIRE FROM THE RETAIL BUSINESS.—On Tuesday morning one of the largest business changes that has been made in Bellefonte for sever- al years was accomplisheu. By its pro- visions P. B. Crider and Son, will release all the valuable property rights and fran- chises they originally bought from the Hale estate and at the same time retire from the retail lumber business. The purchasers are W. E. Gheen, Shem Spiglemyer and G. W. Gamble. The two former gentlemen are very well known in this place where they resided at one time. The latter isa resident of Jersey Shore, in which place he owned and oper- ated a flour mill until he sold out recently, Under the terms of the conveyance the new firmus became owners of the valuable water power, the flour mill operated now by C. T. Gerberich & Son, the building on High street occupied by Platt Barber & Co., wholesale grocers, all of the grounds railroads aud buildings in the lumber yard of P. B. Crider and Son. In fact they secure everything but the lumber in the yards and the machinery in the skewer factory. - The price paid was $35,000.00. For this same property the Criders paid the Hale estate, in 189 , the sum of $33, 000.00. It will be remembered that Wil- liam Grauer acted as the agent in that transaction. Possession of everything but the flour mill is to be given April 1st, 1904, conse- quentiy the Gerberichs will operate it until that time, then Mr. Gamble, one of the new firm, will bave charge, inasmuch as that is his special branch of the work. The retail lumber business ard planing mill will be carried on as usual hy the new firm. Mr. Crider’s principal object in selling was in order that he might retire from the retail business. He has become such a large operator in lumber, especially in the Southern States, that the trifles of a retail yard were more than he had the time or inclination to look after any longer. On April 1st he will have to give possession of his present offices and at that time his place of business will probably be removed to the Exchange or another of his uptown buildings. When C. T. Gerberich was asked what he expected to do after he has given up the mill with which be bas been connected for so many years, he said : ‘Oh, I’ve been at it filty years now, so I guess Ill just settle up the business and quit.”” And he is amply able to do just that very thing. Fifty years ago he went into that mill to learn the trade. For the first few years he was not there regularly, hut for the last forty he has missed very few days and asa resuit of honest dealings and strict atten- tion to business he will retire quite able to spend the rest of his days withont cccupa- tion, if he so chooses. tra Sian CHRIST SHARRAR’S STORY. —While in- Bellefonte last Friday attending to some legal business Christ Sharrar, the well known farmer and woodsman from up the Bald Eagle, told a snake story that comes pretty near equaling one Bill Haynes de- posited with the credulous people of this place several years ago. Bill's story was to the effect that when workmen were building the Karthaus branch snakes were so plenty along the right of way that crowds of workmen had to be organized to do nothing else than kill them in order that the other men could go ahead with the grading unmolested. One day he happened along the work on his way fishing and was just in time to see an immense rattler strike at a dago who had disturbed it while sunning iteelf on a flat stone. The snake buried its fangs in the handle of the pick in the hands of the workman and in an instant the handle had swollen so that it broke the eye out of the pick. Sharrar’s story takes a slightly different turn and is as follows: A few days ago a man came to his home in Taylor township suffering from the bite of a venomous reptile. The man was William Shay and his home is at Chester Hill, near Philipsburg. He had been out in the mountain picking huckleberries when he came upon an immense rattle- snake. Mr. Shay carried with him a small hatchet which he used to cat away the un- derbrush, with this he struck the snake a violent blow, eoutting it square in two. Now comes the strange part of the story ; the snake though in twain sprang at Mr. Shay and burrying his fangs in one of the fingers of his right hand, chewed is, to use Mr. Shay’s expression ‘‘like a wild- cat.”’” It was with difficulty that Shay separated the snake from his hand. He ‘then dispatched the snake, hut by this time his arm bad begun to pain him severe- ly. He hastened to the nearest house which proved to be Mr. Sharrar’s and told of his trouble. Mr. Sharrar at once killed a chicken and placed Shay’s hand inside it keeping is there until the chicken was cold. He also tied a string around Lhe man’s wrist tight and then poulticed the hand with the white of eggs. In time he extracted a cap full of poisonous matter from the wound and Mr. Shay recovered and went on his way re- joieing. : The rattlesnake was 5 feet long and had fourteen rattles. ———Orders have been placed for the ma- chinery for the new Hayes run fire brick works, to be built at Hayes run, ten miles west of Beech Creek, by Centreand Clinton county capital.

At first it was thought his diving days were over, but the injury did not prove as serious as it appeared to be. A strong wind blowing at the time he started from his perch is said to have car- ried him out of his course so that his head struck the side of the tank containing the water into which he was diving. Auother accident along the same line oc- curred in an inland New York town the same day. Those who attended Byron Spaun’s ten and twenty cent show that ex- hibited here in June will recall two very well trained lions and a very daring keeper who performed them in an iron cage in the arena. One of his acts was to slap the mighty beast over the month with raw beef and then place it in his own mouth and ,after giving the lion a hold on it, to have a tussle for it. A num- ber of daring things of this sort con- cluded with his pulling the largest lions jaws wide open and sticking his head clear into its mouth, Last Thursday he per- formed his act as usual, and everything went well until after he got his head into the lions month. Then the act ended, for he couldn’ get 1t ont. The lion had de- cided to keep it there and, before the horri- fied spectators could realize it, had bitten the head right off his érainer. eee A een. ——Harry A.
