Tue BoroueH CouxciL.—Eight mem-
Po
bers were present at the regular meeting of
borough council on Monday evening, with
president Harry Keller in the chair.
On recommendation of the Fire and
Police committee council decided to put
the horough lock-up in better condition by
equipping it with six new steel cells.
The Street committee 1eported quite a
lot of bad pavements and hoardwalks in
different parts of the town and the cus-
tomary notice will be given the property
owners to repair same at ouoce.
The proposition of the Bellefonte Elec-
tric company for lighting the streets of the
town was accepted for a period of two years
with tbe privilege of extending the agree-
ment to five years if desired.
On bebalf of the citizens of Willowbank
street 8. H. Diehi appeared before couneil
and made complaint that the hospital an-
thorities were constructing a sewer which
was to empty into Spring creek near his
residence, that it would be a menace to
health and should not be permitted. Quite
a discussion followed in which Mr. Shuey,
who is president of the board of directors
of the hospitai, stated that he wounld call a
meeting of the hoard to covsider the mat-
ter. It was finally referred to the Street
committee with power to act,
Mr. Brown made a proposition to coan-
cil that an electric connection be made
from the electric light house to the auto-
matic fire alarm hell on the Undine fire
company’s building,so that the alarm could
be sounded promptly from the telephone
exchaoge. The cost of equipping the same
would besmall. The matter was referred
to the Fire and Police committee for in-
vestigation and report.
The question was brooght up before
council of the advisability of having the
grade of all the streets and pavements in
the town taken by the borough engineer
during the winter and the same with pro-
files printed in a grade book. The ques-
tion was not settled but held over for fur-
ther consideration.
The following bills were approved and
orders drawn :

SHor LOCATED BY X-RAYS.— Ammon

a load of buckshot by a fellow hunter, while
out hunting in October, aud whese .condi-
tion has heen serious ever since, was taken
to Lock Haven on Tuesday and submitted
to an X ray examination as the Normal

ten points were the only ones scored against
State while she 7sored ninety-six against
her opponents.

Noan H. SWAYNE 2., RESIGNS.—Ata
meeting of the directors of the Nittany
Iron company, held in New York on Mon-
day last, Noah H. Swayne 2ad, tender-
ed hie resignation as president of the com-
pany. Mr. Swayne’s resignation is due to
the fact that his other interests require so
much of his time that be could not con-
tinue to give to this company the attention
which he felt that it should bave from its
president. The board accepted Mr.
Swayne’s resignation and elected him
chairman of the executive committee and
be will continue to give to the company
the benefit of his experience and knowledge
of conditions here.
Mr. John Kennedy, general mavager of
the Ponxsatawney Iron company, was
elected president to succeed Mr. Swayne,
his election to take effect December first.
Mr. Kennedy is a practical blast furnace
mau of large experience and with a record
of unbroken success. It is not expected
that Mr. Kennedy will live in Bellefonte
but that he will come over frequently from
Puanxeutawney and will be bere much more
often than Mr. Swayne has found it possi-
ble tobe of late. It is not expected that
there will be any further changes in the
management or in the conduct of the
company's affairs.

Ping HALL CHURCH RE DEDICATED.
~The newly 1emodeled Reformed church
at Pine Hall was re-dedicated last Sunday
with most impressive services. The build-
ing, which is now one of the handsomest
throughout the county, was crowded to the
doora by a congregation made up of people
from all the surrounding neighborhood.
Rev. A. A. Black,of Bo:lsburg, had charge
of the services. The sermon in the morn-
ing was preached by Rev. Stein, of Lock
Haven, and in the evening by Rev. Grob,
who was pastor on that charge fifty years
ago. Fifteen hundred dollars were pledged
in the morning and in the evening enough
was secured to wipe out the debt of a little
over seventeen hundred dollars.
The repairs to the church were quite ex-
tensive. A new tower was built, in which
a bell was installed; the building was re-
painted on the outside and re-frescoed in-
