IN THE BOROUGH COUNCIL. — Every
member of borough council was present at
the regular meeting, Monday evening, bus
there was little business transacted. The
various committees bad nothing of im-
portance to report. No action was taken
in regard to the appointment of police, the
present incumbents having been appointed
a year ago to serve during good behavior,
council decided that the question could be
taken up any time. Representatives of
the Bellefonte Traction company gave
notice that they accepted the street rail-
way franchise on the terms granted by
council some time ago. A report was
made that the old Undine building had
been rented to R. J. Jackson.
The question of the Pruner orphanage
for friendless children was taken up bus
the subject appeared such a chilly one that
no action was taken further than to hear
the report of the special committee appoint-
ed to make a proper investigation of the
question. As this subject is one of vital
importance to every resident of Bellefonte,
and that all may know just how the com-
mittee stand on the question we publish
the report in full, as follows:
To Tue Counc;
The committee provided for in the ordinance
adopted at the last meeting of the council, to
confer with a like committee from Tyrone on the
establishment of a home under the bequest of the
late Col. Pruner for friendless children would
respectfully report:
They met the committee from Tyrone at
the office of solicitor of this borough on Friday,
the 24th day of March last. The conference was
in a measure general, and in a general way the
care, establishment, and the cost of runring such
a home were talked over as well as the proba-
bility of being able to properly maintain such a
home on the income provided for it by the tes-
tator. At this meeting there was also a draft of
an ordinance drawn under the provisions of
which the home, if established, was to be organ-
ized.
At the meeting counsel for Mrs. Hayes ap-
peared and offered to pay each of the boroughs
the sum of $10,000 cash if they would release all
their right in and to the properties devised by
Col. Pruner for the support and maintenance
of the home. We report this matter for the con-
sideration of the council. At present we make,
no recommendation as to whether the proposition
should be adopted or not, but in making the re-
port we would specifically call the attention of
the council tothe fact that Col. Pruner has ex-
pre ssly provided in his will that, ‘Should there
be any reason why the boroughs of Tyrone and
Bellefonte cannot carry out the provisions of this
will then the property for said home is bequeath”
ed to Sallie M. Hayes.” Fearing that under a
provision so broad as. this the boroughs
might accept the property and then later dispose
of it and Mrs. Hayes not reap benefit therefrom
he further provided that “If such bequest be-
comes invalidated from any cause then the real
estate is bequeathed to Sallie M. Hayes.”
This clause in the will presents the case in
this light, asewe are advised. That if the home
should be opened and at the end of five or ten
years or any number of years, should be closed
because there were no children to be kept in it,
| or because there was not sufficient income to
support it, the property in either case would re-
vert to Mrs. Hayes per force of the will, and in
either case there would be no payment made to
oither of the boroughs. We do not recommend
action at this meeti ng but submit this report for
the purpose of showing progress made in tine
matter referred to the committee.
Respectfully submitted,

THE OPENING OF THE TROUT FISHING
SEASON.—Only one week more, or to be
more explicit next Saturday, the 15th, will
mark the opening of the trout fishing sea-
son. If the weather continues as fine as it
has been the past several weeks every man
and boy in Bellefonte who basa drop of
the blood of Izaak Walton tingling in his
veins will be out along the banks of one
stream or another seeking to entice the
speckled beauty to take a nibble at the
tempting bait.
With good weather the opening day
shonld prove a successful one for Bellefonte
piscatorialists, as there are plenty of trout
in Spring oreek, if they can only be in-
duced to bite. And Spring creek is not the
opnly stream in the county which is well
populated. There are a number of others
and all the fishermen who may go ous
ought to have a day of rare sport.

THAT BELLEFONTE—STATE COLLEGE
TROLLEY LINE.—Any person who thinks
that the project for the building of a trol-
ley line from Bellefonte to State College
bas fallen through, or that the men at the
head of the undertaking bave fallen asleep,
is badly mistaken, as the movement is
progressing just as fast as it is possible for
one of that magnitude to go. The com-
pany has secured the necessary franchises
in the three boroughs through which the
line will pass and have also secured the
right-of-way along the entire line to the
College. Inside of two weeks the contract
will be let to make the required surveys
for the location of the road together with
the various estimates preliminary to be-
ginning work on the building of the line.
Everything is moving along smoothly and
those who are interested in the project
give the assurance that it will be a sare
go. :
THAT SOLDIER'S MONUMENT.—There
is now no doubt but that we will have that
long-discussed soldier’s
Curtin memorial erected in Bellefonte this
summer. Theclay model of the figare of
.ex-Governor Curtin has been completed
and bas been adjudged a very good Jike-
ness, The figure will be moulded in
bronze at an early date. Work has been
commenced on the granite for the su-
perstructure of the monument. This work
will all he done at the quarries and the
granite shipped here all ready to put up.
It is expected that work on the founda-
tion for the monument will be begun in
about a month and from then on the work
will be pushed just as fast as possible to
completion so that the monument can be
dedicated in the early fall.

humane object, which no doubt will appear
to all.

LICENSE APPLICATIONS DISPOSED OF.
—Last Friday Judge Ellis L. Orvis band-
ed down bis decision on a few more of the
license applications. George Parks, of
‘Philipsburg, and John Boyce, of Snow
Shoe, were granted wholesale licenses, the
latter having bought out the place of David
Chambers, whose application was with-
drawn. Charles Moersch bacher, of Belle-
fonte; James Black, of Philipsburg, and
Andrew M. Reeser and George Kachik, of
Snow Shoe township, were all refused, the
latter because he has purchased the whole-
sale establishment of George Uzzle, whose
license will be transferred t6 him. Wed-
nesday of this week the court granted the
license of Wm. B. Price, Philipsburg,
with the understanding that it he trans-
ferred to Charles Waple. Charles Heisler,

cation for a wholesale beer license, which

NOVELTY IN BASEBALL.—A baseball
team composed entirely of the members of
a theatrical company, presenting Wm. B.
Gray’s beautiful rural play, ‘“The Volau-
teer Organist,” is a distinct novelty which
the local fans are soon to have an oppor-
tanity of seeing, provided present plans do
not fail. On Tuesday, April 25th, this
splendid attraction is booked to appear at
Garman’s, and during the afternoon of
that date The Volunteer Organist baseball
club will oross bats with the strongest
local team possible to get together. Several
of the members of the theatrical team are
famous players, snch as Frederick Bart,
who was formerly a member of the Univer-
sity of Nebraska team and was in the box
for his club the day the college boys took
the measure of the St. Louis Browns. The
leading comedian of the show is William
Hallman, who was at one time a member
of the Philadelphia baseball club, and for
several seasons the leading second baseman
of the National league. The balance of
the nine is composed of excellent players
and the local boys must pat forth their
best efforts if thiey expect to win.
