THE CARPENTERS AND JOINERS BAN-
QUET.—Short, merry and full of good
cheer were the hours spent Tuesday even-
ing at the first annual banquet of local
union 1190, United Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters and Joiners of America. It was served
in the dining room of the Brockerhoff house
which is admirably adapted for such events
and about two artistically arranged tables
covers were laid for ninety-one guests.
Muny of the allied tradesmen, as well as
quite a coterie of the representative men in
other walks of life in the town were pres-
ent. Smith’s orchestra played while deft
| waiters served the various courses of the
menu and when ‘‘coffee and cigars’ was
reached a perfect torrent of oratory broke
forth. Mr. P. H. Gherrity was the toast-
master and bis long experience at those de-
lightfal ‘“‘firemen’s smokers’ served him
well in keeping the spirit of good cheer and
comraderie uppermost. Responses were
made by Burgess W. Harrison Walker,
Hon. John G. Love, Col. D. F. Fortney,
Col. E. R. Chambers, Dr. M. J. Locke, El-

pretentions accordingly. The committee
of 1190 that was charged with the sunccess-
ful carrying out of the banquet was com-
posed of J. L. Dunlap, H. S. Miller, Hen-

COLLEGE Boys SHIPPED AS FREIGHT.—
For years it has been a custom among the
students of the Pennsylvania State College
that the Freshman and Sophomore classes
hold an annual banquet. These affairs are
not as easily carried out, however, as the
unjoitiated might imagine, for the one class
is ever on the alert to put obstacles in the
way of the other baving a banquet at all.
In fact so desperate do the students
sometimes become that they not infrequent-
ly indulge in fisticuffs, break bones, de-
stroy property and go to any extreme when
it actually becomes known that one class
or the other is trying to get away to some
distant city to have its banquet.
On Wednesday the Freshmen scored
heavily on the Sophomores by working a
trick that was novel as it was successful.
The upper classmen had learned that the
Freshmen were going to leave for their
banquet in Williamsport and were on the
look-out to prevent their getting away. Of
course they expected the boys would try
to leave by sleds or on the regular train
and paid no attention to an engine on the
B. C. R. R. that ran up uear State College
about noon with two empty hox cars. If
was apparently shifting near about when
the army of Freshmen made a dash for the
cars. They nearly all succeeded in getting
in, before the unwitting Sophs realized what
was happening, and were whisked away
off to this place, where they caught an
early train for Williamsport before the fel-
lows who came down on the regular pas-
senger to head them off here arrived.
A few Sophomores who succeeded in
climbing into the cars were thrown out in
to the snow along the tracks.
Some of the Freshmen who were crowd-
ed out of the cars in the scramble to get
away quick were taken hack to the college
where they hid in the closets and engine of
the regular train and were spirited to this
place by conductorParker. Some of them ran
clear from here to Zion, where they waited
on the night train. Engineer Jerry Nolan
thought that the Sophs were going to push
his engine clear off the track when they
discovered he had a Freshie hiding in front
of hia box. He said it was something aw-
ful and hereafter he is going to stop play-
ing the good angel in any of their scraps.

the tracks when the train bore down on
them. Corman was able to pull the
horse partly out of the way but they were

knocked out into the snow.
The young lady was quite severely cut

Two YouNG MEN TO LEAVE.—It will
be in the nature of a surprise to our read-
ers in this locality to learn that within a
few weeks Mr. Robert Morris, for seven
years resident manager of the Morris lime
and stone operations here and lately in
charge of the same properties for .the
American Co. and Mr. Howe Stevens, who
has had charge of the kilns built by his
father up Buffalo Run and later absorbed
by the American, will leave Bellefonte to
accept positions in other places. Mr. Stev-
ens has gone to Tyrone to become bis fath-
er’s private secretary.
Mr. Morris will go to Columbia, South
Carolina, where he will engage in the
ballast and furnace stone business for
himself.
The departure of these two young men
will be regretted by a large circle of friends,
for they were connected with one of the
town’s largest business enterprises and
held correspondingly important places in
the business and social life of this com-
munity.
His practice is limited to dis- |.
. for themselves.
THE NEW PHOENIX STATION ON A
TRIAL RUN.—The tax payers of Bellefonte
will be interested onlookers during the
three months’ trial that is to be given the
new Phoenix pumping station. After con-
siderable repairs to the wheel, readjust-
ment of the line shafts, boxings, ete., if
was started to work regularly on Saturday
morning and has been running regulaily
since. ;
Up to yesterday the pump was making
about ‘forty-two strokes per minute, the
equivalent of 1,440,000 gallons of water by
the meter delivered to the reservoir every
twenty-four hours. On Sunday evening
the upper alarm bell at the reservoir sound-
ed the warning of ‘‘too full’”’ for the first
time in six months and no scarcity of water
has been noted anywhere.
The water in Logan’s branch had not
been more than normal at any time since
the start until yesterday it fell very con-
siderably because of the extreme cold wave
freezing up the little feeders. As a result
of this the pump had to be cut down to 39
strokes per minute, or at the rate of 1,286,-
000 gallons per day.
Even at this rate, if it can be maintain-
ed, more water will be sent to the reser-
voir than the steam pump averaged over a
three month’s trial.
Just what the outcome of the experi-
ment with the new pump will be is hard
0 conjecture, but it seems certain; now
that by some arrangement, even if it does
not do all the work all the time, it can be
made the means of a great annual saving
£2 our tax-payers.

CouxciL HAs SHORT MEETING. —Mem-
bers Reynolds, Fenlon, Jenkins, Whit-
taker, Kirk and Wise were present at the
meeting of conuncil on Monday evening.
Dr. Kirk was called upon to preside in the

meaning of his motion relative to the
replacing of the old water wheel at the
water works.
John N. Lane appeared and asked for a
reduction of his water taxes. Mrs. O. At-
wood was represented by district attorney
N. B. Spangler, who asked ‘for damages for
her horse and cow that were killed by fall-
ing on the ice in an alley near her home.
It was decided to put meters on all con-
sumers of water for mechanical purposes
and thirty-two new ones were ordered for
that parpose. Col Reynolds announced
that he was ready to turn over the new
Phoenix pumping station for the three
months trial as per the agreement and the

IN THE SocrAL WORLD.—Society has
been unusually busy this week with its
afternoon and evening gayeties. On Tues
day afternoon Mrs. E. H. Richard gave a
bridge whist party in honor of herJcousin
Miss Hibbs, of Philadelphia, who is a
guest at the Richard home. There were
sixteen players and all the accessories of a
smart entertainment.
On Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Richard
was the hostess of a delightful novelty par-
ty, which one of the guests described as
“Mrs. R’s. spring millinery opening.”
The guests were provided with three sheets
of different colored tissue paper out of
which they were expeoted to make a bat
And the result was most
amusing—some of the creations were fairly
Parisian in their architecture and decora-
tions while others could easily have been
adored without infringing, the least, on the
second commandment. Miss Hibbs was
awarded the 1st prize, a sterling hat brush;
Mrs. John A. Wood won the second prize,
asilver pencil, and Miss Sechler the booby
prize, a hat pin.
Mrs. C.F. Montgomery gave a large card
party last evening in honor of Miss Mary
Thomas, of Philadelphia, who has heen en-
tertained at innumerable small affairs dur-
ing her stay in town. To-day’s event is a

—Mr. Joseph Leathers drove up from his home

said that he hadn’t been in town since before the

—Warren S. Ward, of Penna. Furnace, was in

is in the mercantile business and is so busy at
his store that he doesn’t get to this place as fre-
quently as his friends would like to see him.
—David L. Behrer, of Benore, was in’ town on

well during this severe winter weather. =
—D. C. Hall was down from Unionville, on Sat-

the men behind the desks in the Potter-Hoy Hard-

memory goes back, possibly thirty turns of the
big wheel of time. :
—Mr.J. M. Ewing, of Newport, was in town
Wednesday on his way to pay a short visit to his
parentsat State College. Mr. Ewing was raised
on a farm near Fairbrook but says he knows
very few of the people through there any more,
because the residents have changed since he
left the farm to enter the:mercantile business.
—Mr. Henry W. McCracken, whose home in
“the Glades’ up in Ferguson township has ever
been proverbial for its hospitality and about
whose personality there is something so attractive
that it is little wonder that he is held in such es-
teem, was in town on Friday to spend the night
with his friends, Dr. T. C. Van Tries and family,
on Spring street. - Ea
—W. W. Neese, of Spring Mills, whose occu-
pation is given as a ‘“gentleman,’’ has been in
town doing duty as a juror this week. While
there is no doubt as to Mr. Neese’s claim to the
title they give him on the jury panel, yet we
fancy that he still keeps his hand in at farming a
little ; if only through his sons who ‘are farming
for themselves in Gregg township.
—Mz. Henry Walkey, head pattern maker at
the Lingle foundry, took a day off yesterday and
devoted it to catching up with some little
transactions that had piled up on him in conse-
quence of his busy life. Mrs. Walkey, whose
health, has been so bad for a long timé is mot
much better. She is able to be down stairs part
| of the day but most of that time she has to spen
on a couch. 2
—William Bickel, of Mill Hall, was in town on
Saturday closing up the bargain by which he sold
to former county treasurer, James J. Gramley his
farm near Rebersburg. Mr. Bickle is rather re-
markable in that he has come to be quite well off
in spite of the fact that he worked at home for his
invalid father until he was 27 years old without a
cent of pay. Since then he hustled, has been
honest and met every obiipaion Promptly and
now has a fine home near Mill Hall, a bunch of
life insurance, money in the bank and a fam-
ily to be proud of.
