—
“PENNSYLVANIA DAY” AT STATE
COLLEGE. —The warm weather of last Fri-
day brought a crowd of anywhere from four
to five hundred visitors to State College
to witness the celebration of the third an-
nual ‘‘Pennsylvania Day’’ exercises. The
first thing in order was a meeting in the
auditorinm, at 10:30 o’clock in the morn-
ing, at which Prof. W. A. Buckhout
presided. Following the invocation by
Rev. Dr. Gill the college choir chanted the
Lord’s prayer. Prof. Buckhout then in-
troduced as the first speaker of the day Mr.
Joseph M. Huston, of Philadelphia, the
architect of the capitol at Harrisburg, who
spoke on ‘‘Pennsylvania in Evolution.’”’
Following Mr. Huston’s address the col-
lege choir rendered Kipling’s ‘‘Reces-
sional,” at the conclusion of which Mr. J.
Horace McFarland, editor of the Mt. Plea-
sant Press, was introduced as the second and
last speaker of the day, and for half an
hour he talked very interestingly on *‘Penn-
sylvania’s Relation to the Art of Printing.”’
Prof. Buckhout then read letters of regret
from Governor Pennypacker, Hon. Andrew
Carnegie and Charles M. Schwab, all of
whom were present for the ‘Pennsylvania
Day’? exercises one year ago. The meet-
ing closed with the signing of ‘‘America.”’
A luncheon was served to the invited
guests of the college from 12 to 1:30 o’clock,
at McAllister hall. The review of the
cadet battalion from 2 to 2:30 o’clock by
Major General Charles Miller was some-
what marred by a falling rain, but was
watched by most of the visitors from the
protection of umbrellas, rain coats, etc.
At 3 o'clock there was a foot ball game—
the last of the season on the home grounds
—between State and the University of
West Virginia elevens. This contest was
of-more than ordinary local interest owing
to the fact that the West Virginia team bad
been coached during the season by Carl
Forkum, State’s last year’s fullback, and
that he had succeeded in developing a very
strong team was shown from the fact that
in the first half of the game they outplayed
State and it was only by playing the hard-
est kind of foot ball that State succeeded
in scoring one touchdown in the second
balf just before time was called and with
Yeckley successfully kicking the goal mak-
ing the final score 6 to 0. The day closed
with a dance in the armory which was at-
tended by quite a number of visitors from
various places throughout the State.
NEW STATION FOR THE CENTRAL RAIL-
ROAD OF PENNSYLVANIA.—In the twelve
years of its existence the Central Railroad
of Pennsylvania has outgrown its present
accommodations in Bellefonte and the
management have decided on the erection
of a new station building. The contract
has already been let to Henry Lowery, and
the building is to be completed and ready
for occupancy by the first of April, 1906.
* The new station will be located just
north of the present building. It will be
built of red brick and will be 34x48 feet in
size and two stories high. The entire first
floor will be taken up with one large wait-
ing room and ticket office. The second
floor will be divided into seven offices
which will be devoted entirely to the use
of the company, into which they will move
from their present headquarters in Temple
Court. The entire building will be hand-
somely finished throughout, steam-heated
and equipped with 411 modern conveniences.
On the completion of the new building the
present station will be used exclusively
for freight. This will give tha Central
ample accommodations for their large traffie
as well as afford better accommodations for
the traveling public. Work on the new
building will be begun at once and will be
pushed as fast as possible to an early com-
pletion.
The Central Railroad of Pennsylvania
was built in 1893 and opened for passenger
and freight traffic on December 18th of that
year. Since that time its business has bad
a steady but continuous growth until now
it handles a very large traffic bosiness.
Its freight business is unusually heavy,
From the time of its construction up until
his death less than a year ago the road was
under the general management of superin-
‘tendent J. Wesley Gephart and since that
time his son, W. W. Gephart, bas bad
charge as general superintendent and has
demonstrated ‘hat he is possessed of the
same wise executive ability as was his fath-
er. May the Central Railroad of Penusyl-
vania continue to grow in its traffic busi-
ness until a double or a four track line will
become a necessity.

WiLL ENLARGE His HoTEL.—Landlord
James W. Runkle, of Centre Hall, is ptos-
pering to that extent that the present hotel
building is too small to accommodate its
regular patronage and the owner has de-
cided to enlarge and remodel it through-
out. The large store room occupied by
Mr. Boozer, the saddler, will be refitted,
the front to be used for an office and loung-
ing room and the rear part for the har
room. The present bar room will be
thrown into the dining room. Anu addition
eighteen feet wide and two stories high will
be built on the south side of the hotel, the
the first floor of which will be used by Mr.
Boozer for his saddlery and the second
floor will be devoted to sleeping rooms.
The work will be begun very shortly as it
is planned to have everything completed
by spring.

—— Pennsylvania railroad workmen are
now installing the drop signal system at
the depot here for incoming and outgoing
trains. Owing to the depot being located
on a curve it is necessary to have two signal
poles, one north and one south of the build-
ing. These have hoth been erected and the
levers already installed in the ticket office
so that as soon as the necessary rod con-
nections are made the system will be ready
for operation.

they will bave to do.

——Mr. and Mrs. George Horner, living
on the Jacob Bottorf farm, near Linden
Hall, are deserving of an introduction to
President Roosevelt as parents who at least
are not practitioners of race suicide. A
couple weeks ago Mrs. Horner gave birth
to her eighteenth child and both parents
are just as proud of the last as they were of |
the first. Mrs. Horner was married when
she was nineteen years old and her first
child was born when she was twenty. She
is now but forty-one years of age and,
though she has borne eighteen children
she had only one pair of twins. Thirteen
of the children are living, the eldest son
having been married just two weeks ago.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Horner are hale and
''groom’s best man,
hearty, apparently only in the springtime
of life.
HUNTING SEASON ENDS. — Yesterday
was the end of the hanting season and the |
local nimrods are now polishing _ up their
firearms to be stored away for another. ten |!
months or more. If there are any ‘ who
still bave that thirst for blood so prevalent |:
among sportsmen they will have to confine |,
themselves to hunting for bear, not a few
of which are to be found on the adjacent
mountains. All told the hunting season
thronghout has not been a very successful
one with Centre county hunters. Begin-
ning with the squirrel season these little
frisky animals were unusually scarce and
the number brought to Belleforte was
limited. While pheasants appeared ordi-
narily plentiful the season was so dry
that it was almost next to impossible
to get within gunshot of the birds before
they were frightened up and had flown
away. Notwithstanding this difficulty,
however, quite a number were bagged by
Bellefonte shots as well as hunters throngh-
out the county. As to wild turkeys, they
were not as numerous as in several years
past and lucky was the man who succeeded
in bringing home one of these king birds of
the forest. More quail were bagged in the
county this year than there have been since
the time when the old Nittany Rod and
Gan clab kept their preserve in Nittany
valley stocked.
Bus it was left to the last two weeks of
the season for most every hunter in the
county to concentrate his time and efforts
toward capturing a deer, a feat in which
the large majority of them failed, though
of course there were the usual successful
ones, bnt it is not believed the number
is as large as it has been ina couple years
past. Reports so far received indicate thaé
the number of deer killed within the coun-
ty and by Centre county hunters will not
near total that of last year, though enough
accurate reports have nos yet been receiv-
ed, owing to so many hunting parties re-
maining out until last evening and even
today, to give even a fair estimate of the
number of deer killed and brought in.
And once again we would like to ask our
readers, now that the season is over and
everybody has reported, to send to the
WATCHMAN a correct list of every deer
brought in in their communtiy, and in this
way we will be able to give in next week’s
issue a fairly correct list of the number
killed and by whom.

HARRIS—SMITH.— Quite a pretty though
quiet home wedding was that, at 6 o’clock
Wednesday evening, of James H. Harris
and Miss Mildred F. Smith, which occur-
red at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Smith, on east Bishop
street. Owing to the recent death of the
groom’s father no pretense was made to an
elaborate wedding and only about twenty
guests, including the members of the two |
families, were present to witness theJoere-
mony, which was performed by Rev. Dr.
William Laurie; D. D., LL. D., of the
Presbyterian church. The bride was at-
tended by her sister, Miss Lula M. Smith,
as bridesmaid, while the groom’s broth-
er, John Toner Harris, was best man.
The bride looked quite charming in a
robe of white lace while the bridesmaid
wore a dress of pink silk mulle. Follow-
ing the ceremony, congratulations and a
view of the presents received [by the
bride, quite a handsome display of things
valuable as well as useful, a delicions wed-
ding supper was served and at 8:16 Mr.
and Mrs. Harris departed for a wedding
trip to last about one week. On their re-
turn it is their intention to take apart-
ments in Petriken hall.
The bride is one of Bellefonte’s favorite
young ladies. For a number of years she
was a teacher in the public schools of the
town. The groom is a son of the late Hen-
ry Harris and is an energetic and popular
chant tailoring business. . The WATCH-
MAN extends heartiest congratulations.

——The new Methodist Episcopal church
at Clearfield will be dedicated on Sunday,
January 7th. Bishop C. C. McCabe will
preach the sermon in the morning and Rev.
Dr. J. W. Buckley, editor of the Christian
Advocate, will preach in the evening. Hon.
Andrew Carnegie, who gave two thousand
dollars toward the pipe organ, will be in-
vited to attend. The new church build-
ing is one of the handsomest stone struc-
tures to be found anywhere. The cost of
the building and complete equipment will
figure close to $100,000, which is consider-
ably more than it was originally intended
to cost, bus it is expected that the friends
of the church will see to it that no debs
will hang over it very long after the build-

AT WAR OVER RIGHT-OF-WAY.—Some
time ago J. Edward Horn & Co., opened
up a coal operation at One Mile Ran, near
Philipsburg,and to get their coal to market
were compelled to build a branch railroad
from their operations to the New York
Central road. To doso it was necessary
to cross an old right-of-way abandoned by
the Pennsylvania railroad company thirty -
two years ago. When it came to grading
across this place the Pennsylvania sent a
lot of Italians on the ground to undo the
work as fast as it was done. On Saturday
the Pennsylvania got out an injunction to
restrain J. Edward Horn & Co., from cross-
ing the old right-of-way, and the same
afternoon the injunction papers were served
by Sheriff Taylor. Of course this put a stop
to the clash between the workmen and the
next step will be taken next Monday when
the injunction proceedings will be argued
before Judge Ellis L. Orvis, in this place.

of near Colyer, came across a large black
bear. He had used up all bis ammuni-
tion but one ball cartridge and a charge of
bird shot but nothing daunted he hurried-
ly loaded his gan with the ball cartridge
and taking deliberate aim fired. The ball
evidently penetrated the bear in some vital
part for he bled profusely. The bey fol-
lowed the trail until darkness compelled
him to desist and go home, expecting to
return the next morning and take up the
chase bat u heavy rain that night obliterat-
ed the trail of blood and bruin got away,
though the chances are he was dead before
morning.

——The new United Evangelical church
in upper Marion township, was dedicated
on Sunday with appropriate services. The
indebtedness on the church at that time
was $331 and so liberal were the members
of the congregation and friends who at-
tended the dedicatory service that they
freely responded to the call for aid and
$575 were raised, enough to pay off the
balance due on the church and leave a snug
sum over for other contingencies. Rev. J.
F. Shultz is pastor of the new church.
——Turkeys are reported scarce and
farmers are asking as high as eighteen and
twenty cents a pound for them, and yet, on
Monday, one dealer in Bellefonte was of-
fered one bundred and fifty pounds of
turkeys at 12% cents per pound. The only
reason turkeys are scarce in the local
market is because dealers have been buy-
ing and shipping them by the car load te
Philadelphia and other eastern markets.
