surronnding towns.
ternoon, during the religious services held
at the county jail, Ira Green and William
Dillen, who are to be hanged on May 9th
for the murder of Jerry Condo, were bap-
tised hy Rev. W.B. Cox, of the United
Evangelical church, their spiritual adviser.
Both men have made a profession of relig-
ion and as the time for their execution
draws nearer they are beginning to realize
the very serious nature of their situation
and to a great extent have lost much of the
devil -may-care bearing that so characteriz-
ed their conduct all along.
Last Friday Mrs. Green with her infans
son, visited the jail to- see her husband.
Though the woman was not admitted into
the cell, the child was given into the arms
of its father who, for the first time, exhib-
ited a natural paternal affeotion for his
unfortunate offspring, taking the babe in
his arms, kissing it and hugging it to his
breast, while tears moistened his eyes.
In the meantime counsel for the prison-
ers and even the men themselves have not
abandoned all hope of escaping the gallows
and will make a fight before the Board of
Pardons, at its meeting in April, for a com-
mau tation of the death sentence.

THAT TROLLEY LINE TO STATE COL-
LEGE.—We have had many inquiries of
late as to what has become of the move-
ment for the building of a trolley line from
| Bel lefonte to State College and we want to
'say to all inquirers that the movement is
still moving. The men who are interested
in the proposed road bave not been idle.
They bave secured the desired franchises
in Bellefonte, State College and Milesburg
bor onghs and are now havinga survey for
the line made through the townships and
also securing the right-of-way. All this
preliminary work takes time and it is
work that has to he completed before an
accurate estimate can be submitted to the
financial backers of the project. The work
is now well under way, however, and it is
expected that before many more weeks we
will be able to give our readers more def-
inite news as to the building of the road.

THE FORTUNE TELLER.—Au attraction
which is certain to attract the theatregoers
is “The Fortune Teller’, which will ap-
pear at Garman’s, April 65h. There is no
doubt in the minds of the well informed
as to the value of this comic opera as an
entertainment. To begin with it is one
of the handsomest productions that has
ever been given a musical production, for
the Messrs. Aborn, under whose man-
agement the opera is being presented, have
obtained the complete production which
was used by Alice Neilsen, for the same
opera and which cost the enormous sum of
$40,000. No comic opera the stage has
seen in recent years can approach this
production in the matter of lavishness.
As is known the music is extremely good
and the book contains many bright and
sparkling lines. The Messrs. Aborn bave
placed the principal parts in the best of
bands, and the organization is a large one,

THE PRUNER ORPHANAGE vs. $10,000.
—The joint committee of the Tyroue and
Bellefonte councils met in this place, last
Friday, to consider further the question of
accepting the bequest of the late Edward
J. Pruner, who left property with an ap-
proximate value cf $45,000 for the estab-
lishment and endowment of a home for
friendless children. In connection with
this bequest the faot has already been
published that in the event of the two
borough councils declining to accept the
request the property would revert to the
deceased’s niece, Mrs. R. G. H. Hayes. On
the strength of the favorable report of the
committees specially appointed in the mat-
ter both councils have already voted to ac-
cept the bequest, but a new feature was
introduced in the case at the meesing of
the two committies, Friday, when Harry
Keller, Esq., attorney for Mrs. Hayes,
appeared before the committee on behalf
of his client and submitted an offer in ef-
fect that if the two boroughs would re-
lease their claims upon the Pruner estate
for the properties devised for the establish-
ment and endowment of an orphanage,
Mrs. Hayes would agree to pay to each
borough the sum of $10,000 in cash, or a
total of $20,000.
The submission of this offer was not a
surprise to the committee, as something
of the kind was expected. The offer);was
received and will be presented {to the two
councils for their consideration. In the
meantime, the joins committee completed
its work of preparing an ordinance provid-
ing for the acceptance of the bequest for
submission to councils at their}first meet-
ing in April. 2
