Just as they orcssed the bridge on Water street one front wheel of the carriage came off. The horse hecame frightened and ran off, down Main street at a lively pace. At Furst’s corner the vehicle was overturned and the occupants entirely buried beneath it.

Hypnotism itself is merely suggestion. A TROLLEY LINE TO CONNECT BELLE- FONTE WITH STATE COLLEGE AND MILES- BURG NOW ASSURED.—'‘The; Bellefonte Traction Company,’’ is the name of a re- cently organized company that bas in view the constructigp of a trolley line to run from a central point in Milesburg to Belle- and Lemont to a terminus at State College. The company is composed entirely of Centre county people and includes the fol- lowing: President, J. C. Meyer; secretary, Robert F. Hunter; treasurer, John I. Ole- wine; directors, J. Price Jackson, John I. Olewine, L. E. Reber, Robert F. Hunter and J. Will Conley. A charter was grant- ‘ed the new company by the Secretary of the Commonwealth on the 9th of] Dec. and already much work has been done toward securing the franchise ,of right-of- way in and through the varions boroughs and over the roads in the various townships through which the line will pass. The ordinance presented at Monday {nights meeting of conneil, in this place, was the first step toward securing a right-of-way through the streets of the town. A simi- lar ordinance was presented to the Miles- burg council and one also to the State College council, while the supervisors of Boggs, Spring and College townships have been seen and all bave signified their will- ingness to do everything possible and with- in reason toward giving the company a free franchise. It can be farther stated on reliable an- thority that the company has assurances from two or more different parties that the necessary capital to construct and equip the line will be furnished as soon as de- sired, so that the WATCHMAN is assured that just as soon as the necessary franchises have heen secured work on the construe- sion of the road will be begun and that it will be pushed to as rapid a completion as possible. An option has already been se- cured on the Green mill property, at Miles- burg, and if a thorough test will show a development of sufficient horse power, the main power house of the company will be located there. An agreement has also been made with the *‘Nittany Light, Heat ‘and Power company,’’ a new organization recently chartered at State College, for the furnishing of th2 necessary power needed at the southern end of the line, so that if can readily be seen that the Bellefonte Traction company has as its object the early construction of the road and has not been organized merely for speculative pur- poses; and this fact should go far towards securing from those in aothority an early granting of the required right-of-way along the entire line. The route of the line will be in the main as follows: Beginning at a point near the centre of Milesburg, south along the road Shoemaker hill and in Allegheny to Cur- tin street ; east on Cartin street to Armour, south Armour to Linn ; west on Linn to Allegheny; south on Allegheny to Bishop; west on Bishop to Spring and thence hy way of the old Lewistown pike south through Axe Mann to a point near Pleasant Gap ; and thence southwest through Lauvertown to Lemont aod from there to State College. The entire length estimated gost of construction and equip- ment about $15,000 per mile. A complete survey has been made and the steepest grade encountered anywhere is but a little over 9 per cent. A careful computation of the population of the towns and localities through which the road will pass shows its patronage. That the time is at hand when a trolley road through the territory named above would not only pay, but is almost a necessity, anyone acquainted with all the circumstances caunot heip but admit. Aud the only hope the WATCHMAN has to express is that everybody who may in any- way he called npon to administer to the success of the Bellefonte Traction company for an early building of the road will do so promptly and that no stumbling blocks will be rolled in their pathway. 3 ee ll rem —— With the closing of its doors at noon for the balf holiday last Saturday tbe bank- ing firm of Jackson, Hastings & Co. passed out of existence and when the doors of the institution opened Tuesday morning, after observing the New Year’s holiday on Mon- day, it was as The Bellefonte Trust Co., and as such will continue to do business at the same stand in the future. From the sime the doors were closed Saturday noon until they were opened on Tuesday morn- ing the attaches of the bank were as busy as they could he closing np accounts with the old firm and opening up the books cf the new company but by this time every- thing in this direction has practically been completed and the affairs of the new in- stitution are flowing along just as smooth- ly as if changing a-bank from one firm to another was a matter of every day ocecur- reuce. or ' Tae SPRING ELECTIONS.—The Borough and township elections this spring will be held on Tuesday, February 21st.

It certainly was a jolly crowd that sat down to a repast which included all the delicacies of the season—very few cof which w ere lefs after those rapacions lawyers gof | through with them. At the conclusion of the meal cigars were lighted, and with Judge Jobn G.

Taylor, who have been Sheriff | of Centre county, still living. The fact seems so remarkable that one might be led to believe that to be elected Sheriff in this county gives one an additional lease of life. The oldest living ex-sheriff is Daniel W. Woodring, of Bellefonte, who was elected in 1869. Then follows B. F. Schaeffer, of Miles township, elected in 1872; (L. W. Munson, deceased, elected in 1875, is the only break in the row); John Spangler, of Centre Hall, was elected in 1878; Thomas J. Dankle, of Panxsutawney, elected in 1881; W. Miles Walker, Bellefonte, elected in 1884; Robt. Cooke, Howard, elected in 1887; W. A. Ishler, Bellefonte, elected in 1890; John P. Condo, Sunbury, elected in 1893; W. M. Cronister, Philipsburg, eleot- ed in 1896; Cyrus Brungart, Centre Hall, elected in 1899; and when Huogh S. Taylor, elecced in 1902, shall have served another year one more ex-sheriff will be added to the list. Where is there another county in the Siate that can equal Centre's record ? es i CHANGED THE PLATT—BARBER C0.— We learn that Mr. John G.

There is a romantic love story woven throughout the play, immense comedy and some marvellous and surprising stage ef- fects, every act is mounted in an en- tirely new aud novel manner with special scenery. A most realistic fight between moonshiner’s and revenue men, plenty of jovial comedy, a bair raising lynching soene, specialties and singing by a quar- tette are the main features of this sterling attraction. eee ——Tuesday evening of last week a meeting was held in the Preshyterian ch apel for the purpose of perfecting a Sun- day school union teachers’ organization, which shall have for its purpose only the ultimate good of all the Sunday schools in the town.

Jenkins there were pres- ent members Kirk, Mallory, Fenlon, Wise, Keller, Keichline, Derstine and Seibert, the first time in months that a full representation has been present. Clerk Kellv’s minutes of the last meeting were approved as read. Henry Tibbens was present and made complaint that the large cesspcel on east Howard street was caving in, thus hecom- ing a nuisance as well as a menace in a sanitary way, and she street commissioner was ordered to fill it up with stone. : J. C. Meyer, Esq., appeared in bebalf of the Bellefonte Traction cempany, which company he stated had already secured a charter and surveyed a route for a tiolley line connecting Bellefonte and State Col- lege, having for its starting point Miles- burg and taking in enroute Axe Mann, Pleasaut Gap and Lemont, asking that council grant a franchise for the borough of Bellefonte, and presenting an ordinance to that effect for council’s consideration. On motion of Dr. Kirk president Jenkins ap pointed members Kirk, Derstine and Kel- ler a commitee to take the ordinance, con- fer with the borough solicitor in regard to same and report at the next meeting. The Water Improvement committee, through chairman Fenlon submitted for council’s consideration the form of a new contract, to take the place of the one made last spring with Col. Reynolds for the ren- tal of the Phoenix pumping station. The new contract was very similar to the oid with the very important exception that the rental figure was placed at $1,200 a year instead of at $1,500. Dr Kirk wanted to hold the question over until next meeting night but ou motion of Mr. Fenlon council voted to approve tne new contract. The following bills were approved and orders drawn: 8 Street pi 7 roll. ....ifinniinn nisin Potter & Hoy Hardware Co. i Police pay roll.............coees ee H. C Quigley..

Taylor... ... 12 00 Total.. $623 32 lp nen LEAP YEAR A FAILURE.—Leap year, so far as the privilege it gave to the matrimon- ially inclined woman, was an ntter failore in Centre county so far as marriages were concerned. Nos only did the fair maiden fail to take advantage of her leap year privilege but the smitten swain were not nearly 80 numerous. Perbaps owing to the fact that it was leap year the boys were holding aloof to accord the girls their priv- ilege rights "and they in all modesty of their sex failed to take advantage of it. An examination of the marriage license docket in the office of Register A. G. Archey shows that during the year 1904 there were granted only 269 marriage licenses, while in 1903 the total was 360 and in 1902 the number granted was 374. The number in 1904 was even away below the average for in the nineteen years the marriage license law has been in effect, from October 9, 1885, when the first license was granted until October 9, 1904, a total of about 6,- 460 licenses have been granted, or an average of 340 per year. Verily, both the boys and the girls, and especially the girls, shonld feel ashamed of the 1904 matrimon- ial record. -o0e A REAL CARISTMAS GIFT. —Monday morning, December 26th, a nnmber of men were standing together exchanging Christmas greetings when one of the num- ber suggested that they take up a collec-’ tion and purchase a Christmas present for the family of Wm.

The suggestion met with such open-heart- ed response that Col. Amos Mullen and Mr. John Trafford started aronnd with the hat and book and at noontime they bad collected, taken upand presented to Mrs, Daley a purse of $26.28. % TT Ye \ : ——Whether it is that appetites are keener in the woods or that the food pre- pared at a lumber camp is more than usu- ally appetizing, we do not know, but cer- tain we are that no city chef’ ever offers anytbing half as good as do the famous cooks of certain of our mountain. camps, Among these is John Whiteman, of Aeh- tola, whose Christmas fruit cake tasted just as delicious in Bellefonte as it could have in the woods.
