The Logans are deserving of a big benefi: and this should be it. —On Taesday George A. Beezer #old fis dark dapple-gray team to Frank Habu, of the DuBois Brewing company. Since Beezer brought the team to town several weeks ago it was the envy of all the local Horsemen, and well it might be, for it was ene of the most valuable teams ever brought ¢o the town. In fact, it was sold for more morning of last week until Sanday evening | and gave practical demonstrations. He was | accompanied by his backer, Dr. H. K. Hoy, and the two men were very enthusi- astic over the outlook for the millions they | expect to reap from marketing the com- | poand. i In the first place it mast be raid that | Mr. Ellmore claims that the newspapers have misrepresented his discovery. That the story that by the use of his secret com- pound a mixture of one part coal and three parts ashes could be made to burn and give better satisfaction than the pure coal was all a feke, as he never claimed any such a thing. That all he claimed was that he could burn a mixture of one part ashes and three parts coal. Or io other words, that | he would make one ton of coal go farther than a ton avd a ball would ordinarily by burning all the ashes as made, thus get- ting all the fuel value from the coal. And, in addition, do away with much of the black smoke. Ellmore's first demonstration in Belle- fonte was made at the old water works plant on Friday morning and was nos coun- sidered much of a success. Friday night, however, he made a second test as the plant of the Bellefonte Electric company and, whether there is any virtue in his com- pound or not, he did succeed in burning all the ashes he wade, the only residue from over three thoosand pounds of coal being about one wheelbarrow load of slag and clinkers. And he always bad a good bot fire and had no trouble in keeping up steam. To be exact, in five hours he burned 3100 pounds of coal and as a com- parison the boilers were fired the next night in the old way and in the same length of time 3900 pounds of pure coal were burped. While the question is still a mooted one and open for argument on both sides WATCHMAN readers are privileged to ex- periment themselves and see if they can burn their ashes or not. Bat be sure and have the right compound, as Mr. Ellmore says that the formula of oxalio acid, salt and water, printed last week, is not his se- cret. That his compound includes a mix- ture of eighteen ingredients and is known by nobody but himeell and backer. Be that as it may, however, or whether he can burn ashes or not, some people believe he can and, as there was a saving in fuel in his demonstration at the electric light plant last week, we are only too willing to give him oredit for same. And to show just what was done we publish the authen- tic statement of superintendent F. R. Buss: ler, as follows : “Following are the facts concerning test made by John Ellmore, of Altoona, with his ash-burning compound at the plant of the Rellefonte Electric company. Fire started April 19th at 1:30 p. m., test began at 6 o'clock and continued five hours, firing under 200 horse power boiler. Kilowatt out. put, 247.65; coal consumed, 3,100 pounds; re. fuse, one wheelbarrow load of clinkers. Fuel mixture consisted of three parts coal and one part ashes, this being all the ashes the fur- nace made during the test. To this fuel mixture was added 60 gallons of Ellmore’s compound, composed of one quart of his mixed ingredients dissolved in 60 gallons of water and which cost five cents. During the test the smoke from our stacks was consid- erably less than at other times, “Saturday night, under same conditions, the boilers were fired with pure coal fora period of five hours, with the following re. sult : Kilowatt output, 270.79; coal consum- ed, 3,900 pounds. The comparison shows the consumption of coal used with Ellmore’s mixture as 12.55 pounds an hour a kilowatt, coal used without Ellmore’'s mixture, 14.40 pounds an hour a kilowatt ; saving of fuel with Ellmore’s mixture, 1.85 pounds an hour a kilowatt, which amounts to a saving 12.84 per cent.” It might be interesting to WATCHMAN readers to know that Ellmore was at one time a resident of Bellefonte. He lived here a number of years and learned his cob- bier’s trade under that well known shoe- maker, John Powers. > THE PLAN A Success.—The plan of the Bellefonte Cemetery association for em- ploying a man to care for lots during the summer season is meeting with great sue- cess. Responses have been received daily sinoe the first announcement was made, and still continue coming in at such a rate that the association bas felt justified in making a contract with a good man to devote his entire time to this work from May 1st to October 1st. Some lot owners have been waiting to be assured of the success of the scheme be- fore sending in their names, but we are glad to announce that there is no long- er any doubt on that score, that the man has been employed and will begin work on May 1st. Those who have not sent in their names and mouey to the treasurer should do so at once. renee AY AN EpUCATED TROUT.— Ever sinee. the opening of the fishing reason a nine inch trout has been holding forth in Spring creek, right opposite the WATCHMAN «fli, and n« iv is of the Brook varery amd a beauty, it looks very tempting oo Lelle- fonte fi hermeon, lo fact there is hardly an hori in the day that there 1« not sutne man ur hoy casting a fly over the tiout, bas he i* evidently an edacated fish and bas learn- «dl bis les<on well for only once has he ris- en to the fisherman’s hook and that time it was only with a nibble.

They expect to ar- rive home tomorrow. td ——On Saturday evening as Joseph Har-’ vey, of Siate College, was driving to Belle- fonte his horse frightened when William Hoy attempted to drive around him.
