OPENING oF THE TroUT FISHING SEA-
son.—That peer of all sports, trout fishing,
came in season on Monday and from now
until the first of August the disciples of
Izaak Walton will be in the height of their
glory, #o to speak, and day after day the
non-fishermen will be regaled with stories
of the big catches and the bigger fish that
got away.
Of course it is not necessary to tell
WATCHMAN readers anything abou: the
weather of the opening day, Monday.
They as well as everybody else knows that
far gloves and an ulster were far more
comfortable that day than the regulation
fishing outfit. Bas notwithstanding the
weather every man who owned a rod, hook
and line, or could borrow one for the day,
was ont good and early, his ardor for the
sport in nowise chilled by the weather.
Spring creek was the mecca for local fisher-
men and a traveler coming in the pike
counted sixty-five fishermen lined up along
its banks between Pleasant Gap and Belle-
fonte; and it is bardly likely be saw more
than the hall of them. Quite naturally a
number of Bellefonte piscatorialists were
not content to try their luck at hom but
went to other parts of the county; Fishing
creek being the destination for the most of
those who thought Spring creek not good
enough while a few went out on Marsh
creek. Bustin going away from home they
made a mistake, as the best catches of the
day were made on Logan's branch and
Spring creek.
Ol course we do vot claim to bave an ac:
curate count of all the trout. caught on
Monday but so far as reported the individ-
ual catches are ns follows: From Logan's
branch and Spring creek Charles Heisler
caught 27, James Furst 29, Charles Aunder-
son 15, Thomas Wagner 16, William Gar:
man 21, Maurice Jackson 2 hefore break-
fast, Ed Woods 11, R. B. Montgomery 5,
Edward Robb 3, Kline Woodring 9, John
Bower 11, one of which measured 14}
inches; James Clark 8, William Walker 20,
one of which measured eighteen and au-
other fourteen inches; Clayton Brown 16,
Bob Valentine 6, Thomas Morgan 14,
Thomas Cowher 8. Harry Garber aud
George Beezer went out to Marsh creek
and came home with 9. They reported
that Bill Haines, of Williamsport, caught
42 out in Marsh creek up until swelve
o'clock. Dr. Kilpatrick also went to Mash
oreek and made a good catoh. George
Knisely, Ben Tate, Homer Barnes, Harry
Gerberich and W. C. Cassidy went down
to Fishing creek Sunday afternoon and
alter fishing until four o'clock Monday
came home with 61. Hard P. Harris and
George R. Meek were also Fishing creek
pilgrimagess, the former bringing home 11
aud the latter 3. F. R. Bassler, Russell
Blair, Charles Lukenbach and two or three
others composed acother Fishing oreek
party who brought hack with them about
30 trout all told. But Fishing creek must
pot be blamed for such luck, as we bave
been informed that a fisherman who lives
in that neighboshood had his baskes almost
filled at noontime. Harry Winton, the
condactor on the Central Railroad of Peun-
sylvania, holds the record for the biggest
trout caught on Monday. He went from
his home to a pool in Logan's branch about
six o'clock in the morning and in Jess than
a hall hour landed a brown trout which
measured nineteen inches and weighed al-
most four pounds. But then the Wintous
are evidently endowed with fisherman's
luck for after school closed Harr, ’'s little
boy, aged about 8 years, took his father’s
rod and line, went down to the creek and
inside of fifteen minutes had landed an
eleven inch speckled beauty.

As TO THE CENTRE HALL POSTOFFICE
RoBBERRY. — Thoogh almost three weeks
have passed since the Centre Hall postoffice
was broken into and robbed no definite
clue has been found that might lead to the
landing of the robbers. For several days
prior to the robbery two umbrella fixers
had been in Centre Hall and their disap-
pearaace about the time the robbery was
committed led some people to suspects them,
but since that they have again been in that
town and left on the train, going toward
Lewisburg. Whether they were the two
men or not, ny effort was made to detain
them or even inquire as to their where-
abouts as the time of the robbery.
One day last week the tools, a sledge
hammer and two chisels, stolen from Knep-
ley’s blacksmith shop and which were used
to force an entrance into the building avd
drill the safe, were found under the little
station platform at the Grange Park picnic
wronnds. Of course the only clue the find-
ing of the tools furnished was that the rob.
bers undoubtedly went that way after they
bad completed their job. And from there
it is more than probable they would go
across the fields to the mountains.

NITTANY FURNACE BLOWN IN.—Just
about two months ago an explosion of gas
occurred in the Nittany furnace which blew
out many of the pipes and put the plant
entirely out of business, the fire going out
and the contents chilling. Of course all
the filling bad to be removed, which was no
small nodertaking. The stack bad to be
relined and all repairs made, which took con-
siderable time. The work was pashed
so assiduously, however, that the plant has
been pnt in first-class shape again and the
fires were relighted yesterday afternoon.
The toroh was applied by Miss Mildred
Grimm, davghter of superintendent George
Grimm, and the event was one of such mo-
ment to her thas the entire Senior class of
the Bellefonte High school, of which she is
a member, attended aod the highting was
made one of considerable ceremony.
nual encampment of the Central Pennsyl-
vania District association, I. 0. O. F., will
be held in Lock Haven on Friday of next
week and already the business places of
that town are being decorated in prepara-
tion for the event. The committee in
charge has practically completed all ar-
rangements and it is estimated thas fully
four thousand members of the order will
attend and take partin the parade. It is
very likely a big delegation from the Belle-
fonte lodge will attend as well as from the
various otber lodges in Centre county.

~—0n Tuesday morning J. 8. McCargar
was shocked to receive the sad intelligence
that his mother bad died at her home in

——On Monday while driving away from
the Pennsylvania railroad freight sation
Cyrus Solt’s horse frightened at the shilt-
ing engive and in its struggles to run away
broke a leg. The animal was shot by Harry
Schrefller. The killing of the horse is quite
a loss to Mr. Solt as the animal was only
five years old and had been purchased only
about three weeks ago for two hundred
dollars,
—— William White and Paddy Ryan, the
two tramps arrested on Easter and brought
to Bellefonte as suspects of baving robbed
the Centre Hall postoffice the night previ-
ous, were taken to Centre Hall on Tuoesday
and given a hearing before justice of the
peace, W. B. Mingle. There was prac-
tically no evidence to connect them with
the robbery but they were re-committed to
jail pending farther investigation on the
part of the authorities.

——T'he condition of Mrs. F. W. Crider,
who is seriously ill at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Charles E. Dorworth, at
Ardmore, shows no improvement though
ber attending physician holds cut hopes of
her ultimate recovery. Her affliction is
what is termed creeping paralysis and hoth
ber limbs and arms are affected. The pe-
culiarity of the disease is that it is always
worse in the evening and forepart of the
night thao any other time.

———Mike Morento, an Italian, was in-
jared at the quarries of the American Lime
and Stone company on Saturday. Daring
a snow and rain storm he stepped under an
overhangiog cliff asa refuge from the storm.
The clay and rook were wet from the con-
tinued raios and a slide occurred. Morento
was canght and while no bones in his body
were broken he received a number of bad
cuts and bruises on his head, body and
arms. He was taken to the hospital where
his injuries were dressed and be is now get-
ting along very comfortably.
—— GAY
-—=Mr. and Mrs. William Harris, of
Morrisdale Mines, celebrated their golden
wedding anniversary last Saturday even-
ing with an elaborate dinner. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Harris are natives of England,
the former being seventy-two years of age
aud the latter seventy. They came to this
country thirty-four years ago and for
twenty-five years have been residents of
Morrisdale. They have seven children,
twenty-six grand-children and five great
grand-children, most of whom were present
at the anniversary celebration.
~The condition of Mrs. Jacob From,
of Centre Hall, who is ill with cancer, has
become so serious that it was deemed only
an act of christian kindness to permit her
husband, who is incarcerated in the Centre
county jail on the charge of shooting Josiah
Dale, to visit ber, and on Tuesday after-
noon he was taken to Centre Hall hy sheriff
Kline and allowed to spend one hour with
his wife. The visit proved quite an affect-
ing one. Mrs. From’s condition is consid-
ered critical and hopeless, and her suffering
has been 80 great that she is wasted to a
mere ehadow of her former sell.

——Milan Walker, son of ex-sheriff and
Mrs. W. Miles Walker, might very nat
urally claim to be the cbampion walker
among Centre county school teachers. Dar-
ing the term just closed he taught the
school at Rock, which is just seven miles
distant from Bellefoute, and preferring to
board at home he traveled to and from bis
school every morning and evening. He
taught one hundred and fourteen days so
that the entire distance traveled would ag-
gregate 1,506 miles. He made fourteen
trips on his bicycle, thus covering 196
miles, so that he walked 1,400 miles, and
he was always there on time.

——Alter almost a year's labor the re-
modeling of Col. J. L. Spangler’s residence
on Allegheny street has finally been com-
pleted and it is now one of the handsomess
homes in this part of the State. The addi-
tion that was bails to it makes it large and
commodious and afforded room for the in-
troduastion of every modern convenience.
All the interior finishing isin bard woods,
principally maple and mabogany. The
floor in every room is in bard wood and
bighly polished. The decorations on the
walls and ceilings were done by specialists
from Wanamakers, in Philadelphia, and
combine every beautiful and desirable ef-
fect. The woodwork throughout the
building was done by the Wetzel brothers,
the painting and paper banging by 8. H.
Williams and the decorating by Philadel-
phia workmen. It is also Col. Spavgler’s
Oop FELLOW'S ENCAMPMENT. —The an-
BELLEFONTE CouNciL Passes A Cumr-
FEW LAw.—Every member of borough
council was present at the regular meeting
on Monday evening. In the reports of the
various committees chairman Hamilton, of
the Water committee, reported the putting
in of a new catch basin for the Howard
street sewer. Chairman Derstine, of the
Street committee, reported quite a number
of pavements and boardwalks in the town
in a bad condition and sadly in need of re-
pair. The clerk was instructed to notily
all property owners to make the needed re-
pairs within ten days.
The miscellaneoas business of the meet-
ing having been transacted the speoial com-
mittee appointed two weeks ago on the
matter of a curfew ordinance made its re-
port, presenting the draft of an ordinance
as drawn by the borough solicitor, J.
Thomas Mitcheli. The ordinance requires
all children under the age of sixteen years
to be off the streets and at home at nine
o'clock from April first to October first,
and at eight o'clock from October first to
April first ; and that they muss be away
from the railroad depots at eight o'clock
all the time. The warning note will not
be the ringing of the curfew bell, bat the
blowing of the fire alarm every evening at
8.45 o'clock in summer and 7.45 in the
winter, which will give the youngsters just
filteen minutes in which to get home Of
course there are provisos, among them
being that children can be on the streets at
any hour if accompanied by their parents,
or if they have an explanatory permit from
their parents stating why they are out.
The ordinance provides that any and all
children arrested shall be taken home and
a stipulated fine be collected from the pa-
rents, bat, in the event of the parents re-
fusing to pay the fine no compulsory reme-
dy clause is attached.
When the ordinance was read it was
heartily approved by every member of the
council excepting Dr. Kirk, and while he
filed no objections to the instrument asa
needed law he preferred the inquiry as to
what would be done with children who
came into Bellefoute from outside the bor-
ough limits, The police could take them
in charge bat conld not escort them further
than the borough line. Quite naturally
the question was somewhas of a knotty one
and was disoussed as some length, with the
result that it was simply laid on the table,
or dropped under it, rather, and the ordi.
nance passed as framed, every member of
council votiog for it. Of course it will
now have to be advertised a certain num-
ber of days before it will become effective.
The following bills were approved and
orders drawn :
APRir, WEATHER A RECORD BREAK-
ER.—The ‘‘oldest inhabitans’’ is now very
emphatically declaring that the weather
we bave been having daring the mon th of
April bas been a record-breaker, as he
cannot remember its equal during his
life. And there is likelihood that the fact
is troe. It may not be generally known
but it is true, nevertheless, that although
this is but the nineteenth day of April
snow fell eleven of those nineteen days;
and io addition to the snow the weather has
been cold all the time, the thermometor
hovering around the freezing point both
day and night. And such weather seems
even the more remarkable because of the
nice weather which prevailed during the
last two weeks of March. But then it is
likely we will have nicer weather some
time, about the Fourth of July, and then
we'll all be wishing for just a breath of this
cool atmosphere.
ARRESTED AT CLARENCE.—Steve Ba-
reato, an Italian, was arrested at Clarence
on Saturday, brought to Bellefonte and
jailed to await trial on the three charges of
cruelty to animals, malicious mischief and
threats to kill. Barento appears to bea
sort of a bad man generally. He constantly
ill treated any animal he came across and
when remonstrated with by the proper au-
thorities he vehemently declared he would
kill any man who attempted to interfere
with him,specifically stating that he would
shoot the constable of Snow Shoe town-
ship. Of course the constable decided he
would not enjoy playing target for the
Italian’s gun practice and thought the best
thing to do was to give him a free trip to
Bellefonte and an introduction to sheriff
Kline, which he did; and now Steve stands
a good chance of taking a journey over the
mountain.
BELLEFONTE UNIONISTS BANQUET.
—About sixty members of the carpenter
and painters and paper bangers unions ban-
quetted at the Haag house, Thursday night
of last week and the occasion proved one of
the most pleasant of any of a similar obar-
acter ever held by the members of these
organizations. The meou served by land
lord J. Mitch Cunningham was all that
could be desired, while Smith's orchestra
was present to enliven the evening with
some of their stirring music. John Mo-
Saley acted as toastmaster for the evening
and quite a number of the members pres.
ent made responses when called apon.
——Monday evening a namber of mem-
bers were knighted in Constans Comman-
dery, No. 33, of this place avd the event
was made the occasion of a visitation of
quite a delegation of Sir Knights from ¥

PENN CAVE IN NEw HANDS. — Orris
McCormick bas taken cbarge of Penn Cave,
having moved into the cave hotel about
two weeks ago. Ever since the discovery
of the cave over twenty-five years ago it
had been under the control of one of the
Loog brothers, the original owners, until
now. Mr. McCormick, the new landlord,
intends to fix things np and make the cave
and surroundings even more attractive than
it bas been in the past, a fact which will
likely assure him a good patronage of
pleasure-seekers during the coming sum-
mer season.
