Her ostensible reason was that her mother, Mrs. J. T. Dunkie, needed her on the farm, but we have good reasons for believing that she is soon going into a partnership of her own. If she does the other member of the firm is to be congratulated for there are not many Martha Dankles in aby community and she is perfectly capable of gracing any position. CounciL IN SEssioN.—The regular meeting of council, Monday evening, found everyone present but president Cunning- ham and Mr. Mallory, the member from the South ward. In the absence of the former Dr. Kirk was elected to preside over the body. wi : The Misses Miller, who live in the Crid- er building over the race, appeared and asked for a reduction in their water tax; the assessment being in error it was granted. The solicitor submitted the new ordi- nance book and also an opinion advising council to adopt permanent grades for the streets and sidewalks of the borough at once and have the same entered in a street record book. In this direction council voted to have grades made for High, Alle- gheny and Linn streets at once and have them recorded and hereafter when a pave- ment grade is asked for on any other street the entire street will be graded. Burgess Walker reported the collection of $23.35 in fines and licenses and clerk Shaughnessy reported the collection of $2.30 market fees. The Finance committees reported show- ed a small balance in the borough treasury a deficit of about $4,700 in the water fund. It was decided to lift the two remaining outstanding notes of the borough held by Mr. C. T. Gerberich and which were in- tended to be taken up with the proceeds of the recent special bond issue. There be- ing a deficit of about $900 between the balance in the special bond account and the amount of the two outstanding notes council voted to make it good from the borough account and lifé the notes. The Street committee reported the Water street wall nearly finished and after con- sidering all bids for a pavement along same recommended that the offer of Mr. Thomp- son, of Clearfield, to lay a concrete walk, be accepted. The present council bas got- ten down to such admirable work that we hesitate to criticise its action, yet we fear that the practical side of this question is being overlooked. It must be granted that the concrete pavement would make the finer looking walk to cap off the fine job that has been done on Water street, but would it be the most lasting? The tax- payers only sanction the hig outlay of money for this improvement because they believe it to he a permanent one and to have it finished with a concrete pavement that is liable to be opened up by frost that will get under it through the open wall ap- pears like a lack of practicability. Why not put down a good, thick stone pave- ment that will last forever. It will cost only a hundred dollars more than the con- crete that is really guaranteed for only a year. Suppose a flood comes along some spring, two or three years hence, and teas out a section of the new wall that is weak, the concrete pavement will be wrecked and all the original expense of laying will have to be paid over. Whereas, with a stone pavement, the stones will still be on the ground when the waters have subsided and can be relaid as trifling cost. of this matter Mr. Councilmen, before you act finally. Under the head of the report of the Wa- ter committee chairman Fenlon presented an estimate of expenses until April 1st, 1904, as well as of the income of that de- partment and suggested that all users by meter be charged a flat rate of 6ct per thousand gallons and the assessment be made at the rate of 70 per cent. of the schedule adopted some years ago by coun- cil. Mr. Fenlon said that it was the hope of the Water committee that after April 1st, next, there would be no mere contracts in town, that there would be but two classes of consumers: Those by meter and those under the general schedule. The meters to cover all motors, elevators, manufactur- ers ete., the schedule] affecting only con- samers for domestic purposes. Council discussed the recommendation, then laid it on the table. In the matter of the street lighting eon- tract the committee was instructed to draw up a contract with the Bellefonte Electric Co., and submit it to council for approval. The company offers to give the horough stead of $80 as by the old contract. The following bills: were approved and the body adjourned. W. T.

The work of removal is about completed now and when the last of the plant is gone it will have required twenty five freight cars to transport what was hauled to the deserted location in one dpay wagon only a few years ago. The seale woiks were a very desirable acquisitien te the town’s in- dustries, as they employed from eighty to ninety men and boys and rarely ever had a shut down. Most of the men have left for Beaver Falls. The company paid their transper- tation and will assist in getting them loeat- ed in their new homes. Of course there are some of the men who would nes go, among them being foreman Ed Cubning- ham of the foundry and J. M. Cunningham of the paeking department.

An east bound train ran into the rear of another train east bound that had broken. The engine and twelve cars were demolish- ed. Almost immediately following this smashup an extra west bound freight piled into the wreckage, adding auother engine and eight more ears to it. While no lives were lost the amount of property destroyed was very great as all of the cars contained valuable freight. — ooo —— An advertisement that appears in another column of this issue sets forth that on January 1st, 1904, the Blubaker Coal Co. will redeem two hundred and forty of ts interest bearing bonds, at the office of the Pennsylvania Trust Co. in Reading. It is a matter of interest to some people of this community who bold bonds of the eompany, as well as to the general public Beeaunse of the indication that the Blubaker Co., of which Col. J. L. Spangler is presi- dent, is flourishing like that proverbial green bay tree. tt ——The seventh annual conventien of the Young Men’s Christian associatien of the fourth district, comprising the local, railroad, volunteer, college and schoal as- soefations in the eounties of Potter, Tioga, Clinton, Lycoming, Centre, Union, Sny- der, Montour, Columbia, and portions of Clearfield and Northumberland counties, will be held at Bloomsburg, November 6th te 8th. An interesting and profitable pro- gram has been arranged, and all delegates will be entertained free in the homes of the Bloonzsburg people.

The Knopf and Bible homes will be thoronghly disinfected and the schools, that have been closed for several weeks, will be reopened on Monday. THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT OF THE TYRONE DivISION.—The retirement of Supt. S. S. Blair, of the Tyrone division of the P. R. R.,took effect on Sunday and his successor, J. K. Johnson, formerly princi- pal assistant engineer of the Pennsylvania railroad, with headquarters at Altoona, as- sumed the duties of his new office. The change was void of any formality other than the presentation of a magnifi- cent silver loving cup to Mr. Blair by the employees of the division. His retirement removes one of the last of ‘‘the old time’ superintendents, as nowadays the rule is to appoint none but graduate engineers to such positions. However it 18 well known that Mr. Blair combined a rare knowledge of railroading with a splendid executive ability and his management of the division was always soch as to make it most profi- table to the company. The new superintendent is known to some of the older rail-road men about Bellefonte who say that he will makea very capable, progressive head for the division. Just prior to his appointment he had been up in New Brunswick on a hunt- ing expedition. Leaving Altoona on Oct. 11th it took five days of constant travel to reach their final destination. When they reached the camp in the mountain they found about two and a half feet of snow, and the forest was very heavily timbered. After some time in the camp they captured two very large moose, each weighing about 900 pounds, and two caribou, weighing about 450 pounds each. The climate was delightful and, after spending a very pleasant time enjoying the life of a hunter, they returned to their home on Friday. *0 ACCIDENTALLY SHOT AND KILLED.— John Hasson, aged 18 years, met with a peculiar accident in Philipsburg on Sat- urday morning from the effects of which he died two hours later. He and a younger brother, Fred, were shingling a roof on an out house for the Hon. P. E. Womelsdorf. The latter’s lit- tle son and two companions, Howard Row- land and Ed. Tate, were up on the roof shooting with a target rifle at objects down in the garden. After all of them bad shot several times the empty gun was handed to Ed. Tate, who reloaded it and just as he was about to shoot he slipped and fell. In doing so the gon dropped from his hands and struck the roof in such a way as to discharge it. The bullet struck the elder Hasson, penetrating his stomach. He fell over on his side and was only prevented from rolling off the roof by his brother Fred, who caught him and held him until aid could be summoned. The injured boy was carried into the Womelsdorf home where everything possi- ble was done for him, but his injury was such that his case was hopeless. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Pool Hasson and was a very, industrious hoy who will be greatly missed by his parents, to whom he was of much service. De A Two FINE HosPITAL BENEFITS.—The result of the chicken and waffle supper which the ladies of Stormstown and vicin- ity held, last Friday night, for the benefit of the Bellefonte hospital more than fulfill- ed expectations. In addition to a {check for $40 in cash, which the hospital authori- ties have already received, they have sent three large hoxes of canned fruits, jellies, butter, sugar, etc., and a barrel of apples. This is one of the nicest donations the hospital has received since its opening and the people of Stormstown and vicinity are to be commended for the good work they have done for a good cause. The ladies of Centre Hall, where they have an auxiliary, have just sent over two dozen silver tea spoons, with the ‘‘Belle- fonte Hospital” engraved thereon, one dozen napkins, two tray covers and five yards of muslin. This was an especially acceptable gift as it fills a great want and is of articles that the hospital would not be likely to receive from any source nos thoroughly acquainted ‘with its needs. i a THE WAGON KILLED HIM.--On Wed- nesday of last week James Mowery, a son of Samuel Mowery, of Feidler, was haul- ing lumber from Keister’s mill along Pine Creek. In some way or other he was thrown from the wagon and the front wheet ran over him. Before the hind wheel reached his body he crawled out and was able to stop the team. Then he walked to the home of W. H. Steffen, near by, where he collapsed while telling of his accident. Dr. Musser was hurriedly called and found him suffering with serious internal injuries from which he died Thursday morning. : The young man was 17 years, 7 months and 5 days old. Funeral services were held on Sunday and interment was made at Woodward. ——Miss Rose Campbell, a former resi- dent of Osceola, died in Philadelphia last week and her remains were taken to her old home for burial. ————— Ape TALK OF THE LINGLE FouNDRY.—For the past few days there has been a rumor on the street to the effect that the Lingle foundry and machine shops, now located here, would be removed to York. When seen on the street Wednesday evening and asked for authority to contra- diot the rumor Mr. J. H. Lingle said : ‘Yes, you may deny that we are going to move to York.’ Realizing that this denial was only an evasion he was asked if it was the inten- tion to move their industry to any other place, whereupon he replied again : ‘Well, we have two very nice propositions, but they are not to go to York.’’ so EON News Parely Pevsonal. —S8ol Schmidt, of Philipsburg, was in town on business on Wednesday. —Miss Mary Rhone, of Centre Hall, spent Sat- urday in Bellefonte. —Dr. W.
