V. Miller’s home in Spring township. The facts as stated were procured from what we considered a reliable source, but Mr. McCafferty says it is pot true that he failed to finish the work, for he claims that be did complete it and in order that we do him no unjustice we cheerfully publish his statement. THE NEW FI1sH HATCHERY FORMALLY OPENED.—*‘I now declare the new Belle- fonte fish hatchery formally opened’’ said State Commissioner of Fisheries Meehan to a group of a hundred or more half frozen spectators who had gathered at the prop- erty near Pleasant Gap on Monday after- noon to witness the ceremonial. He had prefaced this declaration with a short resume of the movement that secured the hatchery for this community and briefly stated what the aims of the institution would be to accomplish. Commissioner Meehan deprecated the idea that there is not enough water avail- able for the needs of the hatchery and laughed at the terror that had seized some of our enthusiasts when that ‘‘foolish story was started.”” Hesaid : ‘‘At the present time the springs are discharging 4000 gal- lons per minute into our -beds, which is more than is bad at any other hatchery in the world, and if necessary we can increase this supply to 10,000 gallons per minute. It is our intention here to build up the greatest trout hatchery in this country. While trout will be the principal fish raised and distributed we will also raise gold fish for scientific purposes in the public schools and some bass. Mr. John P. Creveling, who is acknowledged authority in the world, as a trout culturist will have charge of this station and under his charge we expect soon to be able to supply from ten to twelve million trout annually for the streams of Pennsylvania. The enor- mity of this work will be better appre- ciated when I tell you that the first hatch- ery in the State raised only two hundred thousand trout the first year it was built and there were nq applications for them.’”’ Following his formal address to the peo- ple who bad braved the biting wind and driven through the clouds of dust that swirled along the pike between this place and Pleasant Gap in order to display their interest in the State’s work here Commis- sioner Meehan placed the first trout eggs in the hatching trough and explained some- thing of the manner of their development. He stated that it requires from forty to one hundred days for the little trout to emerge from the eggs; the time being largely de- pendent on the temperatuie of the water. After twenty-five days the little life within is plainly visible through the thin walls of the egg. The first change noticed is the appearance of two black spots which are the eyes, then a V shaped connection ap- pears about them. This is the skull. Next appears a tail to the V making it look like a Y and that is the backbone of the little fish, then the egg sack appears on the ven- tral side and the little fish is a perfect enough organism to disport itself and have lots of fun within the egg. It can he seen turning sommersaunlts, time and again, and when it finally wriggles out of the egg it does so tail first, because if it came out head first the skin of the egg would probably be some fastened about its gills and smother the little creature. For about twenty-five or thirty days after its appearance it is nourished hy the egg,after that it is strong enough to take its food from the water in which it finds itselt and is ready for distri- bation. ; + Following Mr. Meehan, Judge Love and Prof. H. A. Surface, the State Economic ‘Zoologist, made a few remarks which con- cluded the program and everyone hurried away because there was plenty of pneu- monia lurking about. The batchery building is a plain frame structure with rubberine roof and cement floor. On this floor the batching troughs, | about 14 inches wide and 6 inches deep, stand at a height of about 30 inches. They look like long, shallow watering troughs and stand at right angles to the sides of the building, leaving an area way between each pair of them and an open aisle be- tween their ends from one end of the huild- ing to the other. These troughs are sup- plied from a lateral that runs around the entire building from which the flow of wa- ter is controlled by spigots. tronghs the trout eggs are placed on small wire screens so that they can be lifted about when necessary and the only other paraphernalia needed is a thin wooden cover for the troughs to protect thé eggs from too strong light or sunshine. The main building for the hatching of trout fry is 100x30 feet and capable of hold- ing 150 sets of hatching troughs. Sur- rounding it will be twenty-five concrete pools for raising the fry till they are large enough for shipment. The springs from which the water sup- ply 1s obtained give forth a flow of 4000 gallons per minute, the water baving a mean temperature of 50 degrees. - The hatchery grounds now ‘embrace about twenty acres, situated around the railroad station at Pleasant Gap, on the L. and T. railroad. Half of the plot will be utilized for the hatching of trout, with a capacity of from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 fry a year. The remainder of the ground will be used for the hatching of bass, gold fish and frogs. Pouds for the habitation of the trout breeders and for bass hatching will be con- structed all over the plot, which will be laid ont with walksand drives and planted with shade trees. The trout building was constructed un- der the supervision of N. R. Baller, who came here from Corry to take charge. It is expected that by the first of the year the entire stock of the Allentown hatchery will have been transferred here. The Allentown plant will be disman- tled. a ——Forest fires are raging along Nit. tany mountains helow Hecla park.

He was much pleased with the way they are being handled. ae ——‘‘Uncle-Josh Spruceby’’ has been here regularly every season for the past four or five years and, like Uncle Tom’s Cabin, it never fails to draw. It ie really a right clever comedy drama of New Eng- land life and with a good band and orchestra and a number of specialty people the show usually pleases. eee faa ——The Centre Reporter is certain that the Wabash railroad is going to go right down through Penns-valley in its effort to get an eastern outlet. In fact it says a party of Wabash engineers have been run- ning over the old Sir Morton Peto survey, that was made away back in the sixties, for that purpose. eh ——The report comes from Philipsburg to the effect that the promoters of the trol- ley line over there have acquired a con- trolling interest in the old Altoona and Philipsburg Connecting railway, that runs from that place to Houtzdale, with a view of converting it into’ an electric system. The railroad has had a rather eventful career; having been the object of much litigation. a ——On Saturday, October 17th, the fam- ily of Mrs. Catharine Bitner held a reunion at her home in Spring Mills at which four generations were represented.

RR ——The supper and bazaar which the ladies of the Lutheran church are holding in Petriken hall opened last evening and there was a good attendance. The supper was delicious and while many of the useful articles offered in the bazaar were bought up at once there are still enough left to! repay you for a visit sometime today or this evening. Another supper will be served this evening, to which you are in- | vited. + tm— < ——Abount noon on Saturday the resi- dence of W. H. Crissman, on North Thom- as street, took fire from a spark from the chimney and there was great excitement in that end of town for a few nioments. Harry Gerberich and H. F. Hartranft were firemen on the spot and. with a garden hose, they had the flames out before the fire department could get to thescene. Mr. | and Mrs. Crissman were away at the time, but arrived home that evening. They came very near having no home to come to. A ——Joseph L, Neff, the veteran auction- eer of Roland, was in town on Monday talking so glib and getting around so agile- ly that we could scarcely believe it was Joe. He says he is getting in shape for the sales next spring when he intends to show the public that age has only served to make him a better orier than ever. For forty years he has been in the business and: in that time he has cried an average of forty sales a year and has secured bids amounting to two and oue-half million dollars. § I ——The Youngmanstown, Aaroushorg and Old Fort Turnpike Co. has appealed: to the court for a change of venue in the condemnation proceedings. It will be re- membered that they were awarded $3,000 for the property and at once appealed to court. The date for argument of the ap- peal being set, now they have asked fora change of venue. It is said that at a recent meeting of the stockholders of the com- pany all of them voted to accept the award of $3,000, except Mr. Motz and as he holds a majority of the stock it did not carry. A 3} per cent dividend was recently de- clared ; the first one since 1895. ——————r A = meteere——— —=—On Saturday afternoon the Lock Haven Normal and Bellefonte Academy foot-ball teams met on the fair grounds and there was a scrimmage, the like of which is seldom seen on any gridiron. Tha same afternoon all of the ‘‘Big Four” might bave displayed more scientific foot- ball but not ove of their teams was animas- ed with a bit more pluck or school spirié than was shown by these young gladiators of the Normal and Academy teams. It was ‘mixed op’’ from the very first kick off when young Weaver, the Academy’s daring little quarter back, was almost ‘‘put out.”” There was more slogging than would have made a good ring contest and when the smoke of battle had all clear- ed away the visitors had won by the score of 5to 0. Their superior weight counted against the light Academy team, but had they not done the bruising they did the result might have been different. Mary E.. OCTOBER WEDDINGS.—It is the privi- lege of but few brides to be married on as perfect a day or amid a happier assemblage than attended the marriage of Miss Lottie Peeples Yeager and G. Edward Harper on Wednesday at noon. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride's mother, Mis. Henry Yeager, on the corner of Alle- gheny and Howard streets. The living room was handsomely decor- ated with yellow and white chrysanthe- mums and the bridal table was most artis- tic with white chrysanthemums and smi- lax. ‘The wedding was designed to be only a family affair, but quite a number of the younger set were present and it was by ‘far the most beautiful of the October wed- dings this season. Miss Louise Harper played the wedding march and the cere- mony was performed by Rev. John A. Wood, of the Methodist church. Little Miss Julia Cartin was flower girl and Miss Jennie Harper, the groom’s youngest sis- ter, was maid of honor. His brother, Je- rome Harper, was best man and the bride was given away by her brother, Harry Yeager. Miss Yeager, who is an exceedingly at- tractive brunette, made a strikingly band- some bride in her going-away gown of blue voile and a picture hat to match. She car- ried long-stemmed white chrysanthemums. Her maid of honor, who is fair and slender as a lily, wore a becoming frock of white mousselain trimmed with Irish crochet. Her bouquet was of pink bonsilene roses. At the conclusion of the ceremony a de- licious breakfast was served by James Sum- mers and the newly-wedded couple depart- ed on the 1:05 train for Philadelphia and New York. Upon their. return they will make their home with the bride’s mother, whose continued ill health precludes sepa- rate homes. The groom is one of our well-to-do young business men. He is the youngest son of the late J. A. and Mrs. Minnie Harper and is associated with his brother in the grocery store which his uncle, Jared, established years ago. His bride is a most capable and amiable young woman. She has since childhood been exceedingly popular and the gifts she received were lovely, Her sister, Mrs. J. M. Bentley, of Pittsburg, was the only out of town guest present. —_——aee KRAPE — BUCHER.—On Tuesday after- noon, October 27th, a most delightful wed- ding occurred at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage in Renovo. The contracting parties were George R. Krape and Miss Effie M. Bucher, and the ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. A. R. Miller in the presence of a few personal friends. - The bride is the highly esteemed and ac- complished daughter of Mr. Adam Bucher, one of the leading business men of Altoo- na, and the groom is the son of Mr. G. W. Krape, of Salona, Clinton county, and isa young man of most sterling qualities and will doubtless prove himself worthy of the noble young lady he has won as his bride. He is a mechanic and is in the employ of ‘‘Rodhouse Airing, Searing &}3Co.”’ con- tractors for the extensive improvements now being made at Blair Furnace by the Penna Railroad Co. After the ceremony the bride and groom remained in Renovo, as the guests of their friends, Rev. and Mrs. A. R. Miller, until Wednesday at 3 p. m., when they boarded the Buffalo flyer for Buffalo, Niagara Falls and other places of interest, to be absent sometime in the enjoyment of their honey- moon. On their resarn they will take up their residence in Altoona. * ——Mr. George W. Sunday, formerly of this place, but now at Altoona, was mar- ried to Miss Mary Kate Daley on Wednes- day evening at 7:30. The wedding was celebrated at the rectory of St. Luke's Episcopal church in Altoona and the couple were attended by Mr. S. W. Mobus and his sister, Miss Blanche Mobus. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Sunday went to 515 Willow Ave, where the wedding supper was.served and they will make their home temporarily at that place. The groom is a very well known young man in Bellefonte, where he has hosts of friends who will wish him well in his new life. His bride is a daughter of the late Mis. Margaret Daley, of this place, and a very pretty girl. i fp fp meses STEELE-ROCKEY.—Last Thursday even- ing at the residence of W. L. Steele, on south Spring street, Miss Bertha, one of the daughters of the family, was united in marriage to Mr. Charles M. Rockey, of Zion. Only the immediate friends of the young couple were present to witness the Rev. John Wood, of the Methodist chureh, pronounce the ceremony, but there were enough to make a very jolly party about the wedding feast that followed the cere- mony. ee mE ——Thbe American Bridge company has a force of 25 men at work on the bridge of the N.

JoE’s WiLD TURKEYS.—In our edition of last week we stated that county detec- tive Joe Rightnour had brought in a fine big wild turkey on the first day of the sea- son and another one two days later. The WATCHMAN always tries to be trnthfal and it did not mean to do Mr. Rightnour any injustice by saying his tur- keys were wild, but it appears that several farmers out about Yarnell have taken ex- ception to our statement, so we cheerfully make this correction. ‘‘The fine big wild turkey’’ he brought in the first day was one out of Clayton Yarnell’s flock and Joe paid $2.00 for it. The other ‘wild turkey” that he brought in two days later he bought from Mrs. John Watson for $1.75, after borrow- ing her scissors to cut a few white feathers that made the bird look too tame. While it is not a matter of very great importance we, feel that it is due Mr. Righstnour’s reputation for truth and ver- acity to make this correction, for we’re sure he wae very much chagrined when we said his turkeys were wild ones. rere Qf rrr ——On Tuesday: evening Mrs. J. E. Ward entertained thirty-six of the Doctor's friends most enjoyably at their home’ on Curtin street. It was the forty-fifth anni- versary of his birth and the party was all arranged without his having the slightest knowledge of what was going on until he arrived home from Prof. D. O. Esters’, where be had been purposely invited for supper. At best the Doctor is not very loquacious, so it was little wonder that he was altogether speechless when he walked into that big stag party. The eveningjwas spent as men do such things until the din- ner was served and then it hecame appar- ent what man is really good for. All of the party were seated in the dining room, where deft waiters served seven delectable courses, and long after the coffee and cigars the guests hung abeut the cheerful board telling stories and enjoying to the fullest the pleasures of the evening. As an ex- pression of their good wishes the guests presented Dr. Ward with a bandsome leather rocker and departed wishing him years more of prosperity and contentment. rr THE CHANCE OF A LIFE TIME. —Family matters of vital importance necessitate my making a trip to the Orient at a very early date.
