About two hundred clerical and lay delegates are ex- pected to attend. ne All rms. —— Right after Toesday’s hard rain storm D. Benton Tate went up Spring creek to the old slaughter house and suc- ceeded in landing four very nice trout in less than an hour. And that reminds us of the fact that there does not appear to be very many trout caught these days, but whether it is because they are getting scarce or wise, or because fishermen are staying at home, we know not. ~— While operating a large mangle ma- chine in the laundry at the Park hotel, in Williamspors, one day last week, Rosa Miller, colored, a former Bellefonte girl, had her right band caught between the hot mangles and drawn in ball way to the elbow. The machinery was stopped but her hand and arm could not be removed until the mangles were loosened and by that time the flesh wae burned to a crisp, while ber band was badly crushed and lacerated. —>e— ~The season is fast approaching when potato growers will have an eye to the care of their young crops and paturally they welcome any information toward the pres- ervation of the same. In a letter to ex- sheriff D. W. Woodring, of this place, R. D. Wotring, of Schnecksville, a large and very successful potato grower, gives the following formula for potatoe blight which we very gladly pablish : Bluestone (sul phate of copper) 6 pounds ; lime 4 pounds, dissolved in 50 gallons of water. If bugs are present add a little Paris green. Sprin- kle the plants liberally. ~——Harry L. Garber is now at work get- ting things in shape for the opening of his oker’s office in Temple Court not later doo next Monday morning. He will oec- etipy the room adjoining the one he for- merly occupied while representing John Larkin & Co., and will now 1epresent the firm of H. C. Harvey & Co., of Pitsburg, the firm for whom G. 8. Walker, who was here this week, is road man. With Gar- ber’s opening there will again be two of- fices in Bellefoute and it is stated on pret- ty reliable authority that arrangements have been made by another Pittshurg house for the opening of an office in Crider’'s Ex- change. tt —— On Tuesday evening three boys were standing in the dcorway of Montgomery & Co’s store when, in a spirit of fun, one of them was pushed against the big plate glass window with such force as to break it into a hundred fragments, the orash of the breaking glass and the falling of the upper portion of the glass being plainly heard for two squares. Quite a crowd of people soon collected on the scene, many thinking an attempt was being made to 1ob the store. The window was boarded up until a new glass can be secared. The Montgomery store door has always been a favorite loaf- ing place for boys at night but this shonld be a warning to all tc at least behave quies- ly when they are there. ooe ~The State College base ball team re- turned yesterday from their second trip away from home and it was a victorious one. On Monday they defeated Dickinson at Carlisle by tbe score of 6 to 3. Tuesday they defeated the Carlisle Indians by the score of 6 to 0 in a six inning game and on Wednesday they defeated Cornell by the score of 3to 1 in a seventeen inning game, the greatest college game of the season. It will be remembered that last year State practically had Cornell beaten 1to Oina sixteen inning game when a misthrow of one of State’s player's let in two runs for the Ithacans, thus tarning vie- tory into defeat, and this year State was determined to turn the tables, and she did. This is the same team which will play Bellefonte next Friday. ee ——We bave waited for two weeks to give mail carrier Edward Woods the bene- fit of an opportunity for a public confes- sion concerning his first day’s fishing ex- perience and inasmuch as none has been forthcoming we will have to tell you about it. He was sitting along Spring creek very early in the morning of the 15th when his bands got cold and that very moment he bad a bite. He didn’t catch the fish be- cauge his hands were too cold to handle the rod properly. Determined that this should not ocour again Ed. threw the line back of him and started blowing his breath on his hands to thaw them out. With this ac- complished he set about to fish again, bus when he picked up his pole he found that a robin bad made its breakfast on his fish- ing worm and bad his hook somewhere in its innards. It was the only book Ed. had and be naturally was very much upset over the turn things bad taken, but no one ever thought he would lay his pole down and try to catch the robin. He did though, and about the third dart he made for the bird it soared up into the air with hook, line, rod and all and that was the end of Mr. Wood's fishing. : .Deara or T. A. ARDELL.—It was quite a shock to his many friends in Bellefonte when news was received here last Friday morning of the death, Thursday night, of Tevill A. Ardell, at his home in Julian. Death came very suddenly and was due to paralysis of the bears. Deceased was sixty-six years of age, was ason of Francis Ardell and was bom in Plattsburg, N.Y. About filty years ago be came to Pennsylvania to assist his brother, the late John Ardell, in his extensive lom- bering operations and some time later took ap his residence at Julian, from where be superintended the Ardell lambering inter- esta on the Allegheny mountains. He fol- lowed lumbering for over a score of years, or until the vast tracts acquired by the Ar- dells on the Alleghenies had been entirely denuded of their timber. He purchased a farm near Julian and sinoe retiring from the lumber business has devoted his entire time to farming, with the exception of a few months last summer when, following the death of his brother, John Ardell, he assumed the management of the Phoenix planing mill plant in this place until the eame was taken charge of by Newlin Ir- win. Mr. Ardell was twice married and is sar- vived by his second wife, who was Mrs. Margaret Brachbill, widow, of the late J. C. Brachbill, and to whom he was married on December 5th, 1906, and the fol- lowing children by his first wife: Mis. Gray Mattern, Gordon W. and Robert, all of Philadelphia ; and Mis. T. V. Stevens, of Huston township. The funeral was held on Sunday after- noon and was very largely attended. In- terment was made in the cemetery at Ju- lian. I I i COURTER.—Probably the oldest resident of Blanchard, 'Squire William F. Courter, died at his bome in that place at eight o'clock last Fridsy morning. Owing to his advanced age he had been in poor health for some time and his death was the result of a general decline. Deceased was eighty-three years of age and had been a resident of Blanchard most of his life so that he was perhaps the best known and most familiar figure in that lit- tle town. Fora long term of years he con- tinuously served as justice of the peace and on more than one ocoasion gained consid- erable notoriety because of the prominence of the cases heard and decided by him. He was twice married and is survived by his second wife and four children, namely : Mrs. Lula Good, of Lock Haven; Girard, of Westport; William and Frank at home. He was a member of the Baptist church most all his life. The funeral was held at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, inter- ment being made in the Baptist cemetery. i I 1 ADLEMAN.—Benjamin Adleman, of the firm of Adleman & Ratowsky, of Philips- burg, died in the eanitorinm at Warren last Saturday. He had been in poor health for the past few years and for the past few months has been in the sanitorium for treatment. Deceased was born in Europe and was forty-six years of age. He came to this country when a young man and for the past twenty-two years has been located in Philipsburg and it was largely through his untiring efforts and marked business abili- ty that the mercantile firm of Adleman & Ratowsky was built up to its present di- mensions and high standing. He is survived hy his wife and nine ohil- dren ; his aged mother and one brother, living iv Philipsburg, and two hrothers in Europe. The remains were taken from Warren to the Adleman home in Philips- burg from where the faneral was held oa Monday afternoon, Rev. L. Mittle officias- ing. i fi I FRANTZ.—Miss Louise Belle Frantz died at her home in Altoona on Tuesday even- ing, after a long illness with cancer of the stomach. Deceased was a daughter of Abram and Elizabeth Frantz, and was born io Bald Eagle valley about forty years ago. When but fifteen years of age she went with ber parents to Altoona and that has been her home ever since. She is survived by ber father, who lives at Tartle Creek, and four brothers, namely : Zane, of Pitts- burg; R. 8. and J. C., of Bald Eagle, and Peter, of California. The funeral will be held this morning, the remains to be taken to Bald Eagle, the home of ber girlhood, for interment. | | | MATTERN.—Mrs. Harriet Mattern, wile of John F. Mattern, of Warriorsmark, died last Saturday afternoon of heart trouble, aged 61 years, 9 months and 25 days. She is survived by her husband and one son, Prof. Lewis W. Mattern, of Washington, D. C. ; her mother, Mrs. Eliza Grazier, and one brother, George Grazier, of Marengo, this county. Funeral services were held in the Methodist church at Warriorsmark, of which she was a member, after which interment was made in the adjoining cem- Be Oy [ HAVLIN.—Thomas Harlin, father of Mrs. John T. Bayletts, of this place, died at his home in Juniata on Sanday morn- ing as the result of a stroke of paralysis. He was born in Port Deposit, Md., and was seventy-two years of age. In addi- tion to Mre. Bayletts he is survived by four other daughters, his wife having died last December. The funeral was held on Taes- day afternoon, interment being made in the Rose Hill cemetery. | | | FREDERICKS. — Ebenezer Fredericks, father of William Fredericks, of this place, died at his home in Williamsport last Thursday evening, of paralysis. He was seventy-two years of age. The funeral was held on Monday. Lixe.—Thoogh ber death occurred seme- time during the latter part of March news of the same never reached this office until within the past week and it is for thas rea- son that we are this late in reporting the demise of Mrs. Rachel B. Like, a very esti- mable widow lady of Milesburg. She was a ative of Centre county and for many years lived alone in the village in which she died. Her only survivor is one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth R. Davideon, of Abilene, Kan., though she had many warm personal friends who deeply deplored her death. THE CHEMICAL LIME COMPANY.—On Taesday the legal transfer of the papers of incorporation of the Chemical Lime com- pany was made from John B. Walker to the various members composing the com- pany and the officers named at the prelim- inary organization were elected as the per- manent officers of the company, so that they are now in proper legal shape to go ahead as rapidly as possible with their op- eration on the Charles Witmer farm up Bauflalo Run valley. On Wednesday the stockholders were all present at the laying of the first stone in the walls of their new lime kilns, the building of which will be rushed rapidly to an early completion. The Chemical company intends installing one of the best and moss up-to-date plants of any in this county. They bave negotiated for a orush- er with a capacity of twenty-five cars a day, to run which will require a boiler and engine of upwards of two huudred horse power capacity. They expect to be in par- tial operation within two months. > Y. M. C. A. Day.—Sunday next will be Y. M. C. A. day in the local churches and will be observed as follows: Special ser- moos in the interest of young men will be preached by the pastors at the morning services of the Methodist and United Brethren churches, and at the evening ser- vices of the Presbyterian, Evangelical, Lutheran and Episcopal churches. At the morning service of the Reformed church, in the absence of Rev. Schmidt, general sec- retary W. H Chapin, of the Williamsport Y. M. C. A., will speak. A special meeting for both men and women will be held in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock, Music will be furnished by the glee clab and arrangements are being made for an orchestra. Booklets will also be distrib- uted showing views and reports of the local Y. M. C. A. work. Mr, Chapin will also address this meeting. te Tae CURFEW LAW.—The curfew law recently passed by borough council went into effect on Monday evening and eo far as noticeable up to this writing there has been no attempt by anyone to defy its provi- sions. When the fire alarm whistle soond- ed the first call to home for the youngsters under sixteen years on Monday evening it was mistaken by many cof the elder people for a real fire alarm, but not so the boys. They evidently were listening for it, and just as soon as the whistle began to blow yells of ‘‘slide for your home’’ and such like could be heard on every side and there was a scampering of the youngsters like rabbits to cover. At nine o'clock not a boy was to be seen and up to this time no attempt has been made to give the police any trouble. Of course the curfew law is like a new broom, it will sweep clean for a time at least. nc A FiFTY YEARS MARRIED. —Mr. and Mrs, William J. Shearer, father and mother of Mra. James B. Stein, of this place, and who bave visited here repeatedly since Rev. Stein bas heen located here,celebrated their golden wedding on Monday at their home in Carlisle. Of course Rev. and Mrs. Stein were present as were all of their seven children and nineteen grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Shearer were married on the lat- ter's twenty-second birthday, hence Mon. day’s celebration was a double one. Mr. Shearer, who is seventy-seven years of age, has long been known as the nestor of the Camberland county bar. In his long car- reer as a lawyer he bas tried thirty-nine murder cases, winning thirty-eight of thew. ———— pp pen THAT SHIRT WaIsT BKATE.—The shirt waist skate avd dance held in the armory on Wednesday evening was an uuparallelled success. The crowd numbered fully five bundred, including about one hundred and fitty students who came down from State College on “a special train. The best of order prevailed throughout the evening and all bad an enjoyable time. Refreshments of ice cream cones, ham sandwiches and coffee were served. The total receipts were $248, of which sum about $200 were clear. The skate was given by Mrs. Emil Joseph for the benefit of the Bellefonte hos. pital and those in charge deserve consid. erable oredit for the success of the evening. CARPENTERS STRIKE.—The threatened strike of the carpenters of Bellefonte took place on May first, but it is not universal. The Ardell lumber company and contractor Charles Wetzel signed the scale demanded by she .carpenter’s union while William Steele agreed to pay the wages asked bus refused to sign the scale, so that the em- ployees of all the above remained at woik. Isaac Miller, never baving recognized the union, had mo trouble with his employees, | 80 that Henry Lowery and P. B. Crider & Son, who refused to sign the scale or pay the increase demanded, are the only ones affected. ———— pp ——Mrs. Benjamin Krape, of Salona, who underwent an operation in the Belle- fonte hospital about two weeks ago, has Bem recovered and was discharged yesterday. Shejis now at the home of her daughter, |) Mrs. Wade Cruse, on east Lamb street, but intends going home tomorrow. ~The State highway department is advertising for bids for the building of a highway between Bellefonte and Miles- barg. — Ap —-L.. J. E. Ward, the dentist, is now occupying hie new office in the Y. M. C. A. asopnex on High street and is ready for all callers. —— As ——Rev. J. M. Rearick has resigned the pastorate of the Centre Hall and Spring Mills churches and will go to Salona next week as the pastor of the Lutheran church there. — ~——A Hollidaysburg man has invented a machine for cutting and cleaning trout at the rate of from two to three hundred fish a minate, but he forgot to include the most important point in his invention, the wherewithall to get the trous. ——Tuesday evening as the passenger train on the Bellefonte Central was on the trip from State College to Bellefonte the engine jumped the track near Alto sta- tion and it took a force of men working all night to get things in abape so that the train could prooeed on its way, and it was 5:30 o'clock Wednesday morning tefore it reached Bellefonte. Instead of sending another engine and car to the scene of the wreck and bringing the passengers to Belle- fonte the company left them spend the entire night in the car. ——Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hoffman have given up their home at Pleasantville and come to Bellefonte to spend the rest of their days with their son-in-law and dangh- ter, Mr. and Mrs. W. Harrison Walker. Mr. Hoffman is quite a chicken fancier and as Mr. Walker is imbued with the same spirit they bave gone into the chicken rais- ing business—more for the pleasure of the pastime than for the munificent profits re. sulting therefrom. And as evidence of the fact thas they are going to bave all the fun out of it they can they bave installed an incabator and will hatoh the ‘‘peepw’’ in the newest fangled way. ee «To use a slang phrase, Bellefonters everywhere seem afflicted with a desire to ‘‘go some.’”’ This i» evident here from the number of people who are owners of auto- mobiles bus they are not the only ones. A letter received by a friend from Frank Gra- bam, of Sharon, states that he is getting along splendidly and is now the owner of a locomobile, which naturally isa steam car, and is spending bis spare moments in speeding through the city and adjacent country. Frauk always evinced consider- able ‘‘push’’ when he was at homein Bellefonte and this trait may now come in guite bandy, if he happens to get stuck while out on a trip. —— — Sergeant Frank Branton, of the United States army, arrived in Bellefonte on Wednesdoy and opened a recrniting of- fice in Temple Court. Sergeant Branton is a Japanese and an edncated and genial gen- tleman. It will be remembered thas about thirteen years ago he was in Bellefonte for a month or more at the head of a recruiting station and his assignment here now was mostly because he was so favorably impres- sed with the town at thas time. Owing no doubt to the present era of good times it is proving a hard matter for Uncle Sam to se- care all the recrnits needed and recruiting stations ate being opened up in every town of any size in the country. a -h- STUDENTS TO ERECT MEMORIAL TO DR. ATHERTON.—The class of 1909 of The Pennsylvania State College bave decided to erect a fitting memorial to Dr. George W. Atlferton, late president of the college, over his grave on the college campers. I$ will be in two parts and will consist of a base ninety inches long, forty-four inches wide and twelve inches thick, on which will rest a sloping slab seventy-eight inch- es long by thirty-two inches wide, twelve inches thick at the head and eight inches thick at the foot. It will be composed of light gray grenite and will be finished in what iz known as the axe-handle style. The epitaph to be inscribed thereon will be in raised and rounded letters, so as to the better withstand the ravages of time and the elements. This design has been chosen because of its unostentationsness and se- vere simplicity as the most fitting memori- al of the man who was personally responei- ble for the upbailding of the college to the great institution of learning it now is. A GREAT FIRE—Isa serious thing, but we wait to call your attention to the Lo- gan fire company’s benefit at Garman’s, next Wednesday and Thareday evenings, an entertainment different from anything ever presented here before. . And while its ou your mind remember it is for a good catise. Iv case of fire you want the fire companies. In this case the fire companies want you. The entertainment will be well worth the price as those taking part are the best Bellefonte local talent assisted by and under the direction of a professional gentle- man, Mr. Vance, and who thoroughly un- derstands bis business.

STITUTIONAL.—The Legislature of 1905 passed an act making the county liable for the up of any turnpike condemned within ite borders and taking advantage of thé law the supervisors of Haines town- ship brought suit against the county com- missioners to compel them to maintain that portion of the Bellefonte, Aaronsburg sod Youogmaostown turnpike within its boundary which had been condemrved and vacated some time previously. The case was tried as the November term of court, 1906, and judgment was withheld notil Saturday of last week when Judge Ellis L. Orvis banded down an opinion in which he declared the Act of 1905 to be uncoustitu- tional and directed judgments to be entered in favor of the defen: ans. As the question is one of considerable interest not only to the people in many portions of Centre county but throughout the State we give the judge’s opiniou in fall, as follows : OPINION AND DECREE. The above is a case stated arisi visions of the Act of April 20th, 1905, P, L. 237 he Bellefente, rg and Youngmanstown Turnpike road through the townships of Potter, Gregg, Penn, Haines, and the borough of Miliheim, in the county of Cen and extended into the neighboring county of Union. All that part of the said turnpike situate in the townships of Potter, Gress, Penn and the borough of Mill heim atoresaid aud about twelve miles thereof in the township of Haines afc was duly con- demned for public use, free of tolls. The super- visors of the plaintiff township contend thai by virtue of the said Act their township is relieved from the burden of maintaining the said twelve miles of turnpike, and that instead the cost ana burden is imposed upon the county of Centre. The Act is very crude and evidently not carefully considered. It merely provides for such turn pikes or parts thereof as have or shall be appro- riated or condemned, Jequizing hat they shall properly repaired and maintained at the ex- pense of the county, city or borough in which said turnpike or part thereof lies. The Act pro vides for no machinery on the of the county officials for the maintenance of county roads. In the county of Centre there has been no such sys- tem established, no steps have been taken under any legislation towards the making of county roads or for the raising of revenues, the appoint- ing of officials looking towards their proper re- rand maintenance. If therefore, plaintiff's contention is well founded, we would have an anomalous situation ing this particular . The western end in the townships of Po- ter, Gregg and Penn could be a county road. There would be a break of iy a mile in the borough of Millheim, which would be maintained at the expense of the tax rs of that munici- ity. Immediately east of the borough of Mill. im the said jarep ke would again become a county road for twelve miles, The defendants rely upon several itions in attacking the constitutionality of the Act of 1005. We shall not go to the trouble of examining all of them. One of the princips! is, that it is made in the alternative, providing that the said turnpike may be maintained first under the rovisions of the Act of 1905, “Or the same ma improved ander any existing laws by the said county, city or borough ;" and it has been pointed out that on its very face the Act is inconsistent with itself for lack or want of uniformity and necessarily places upon the officials of municipalities the right of election, a right that cannot be delegated by the Legislature. Bat we think the more serious question raised hy the defendant is that the Act offends against Article IX of the constitution requiring all taxes tobe uniform upon the same class of subjects within the territorial limits of the authority ivy ing the tax. Judge Woods, of the Mifflin-Bed- ford-Huntingdon district, has passed upon this very point and declared the Act unconstitutional in this respect, We feel inclined to agree with him. Ifthe word “county” is interpreted to mean the county Jroger as in counterdistinetion with the townships, the Act would certainly im- pose the burden of maintaining the turnpike in question unequally upon the several citizens of the county. For instance, the plaintiff township would be entirely relieved as a township from the expense of maintaining the twelve miles within its own limits, and would be liable to an exceed- ingly slight taxation as a portion of the entire county. While the taxpayers of the Beighboring borough of Millheim wotlld not only have the burden of maintaining the whole of the said turn- pike within its own borders, but would be liable also to whatever taxation would be necessary through the agency of the county for maintain- tng the same turnpike or other portions of the turnpike in plaintiff's township. In other words, the citizens of Millheim borough would be made at once liable to a double taxation for the mainte- nance of this turnpike while the citizens of Haines township would ve liable in only one ca- pacity. This clearly offends against the constitu on. If, however, the word ‘county’ as used in the Act should be held to be merely descriptive ina larger sense of the several townships iecluded within it, the Act would at least be cleared from any appearance of inequality and would be con- sistent with the present road laws of the state. In the case of either construction, however, we are compelled to decide in favor of the defendant. And now, to wh, April 25, A. D. 1007, judgment is hereby directed to be entered against the plain- tiff and in fuvor of the defendant. By tux Couvar, ELLIS L. ORVIS, P. J. under the Opp FELLOWS CELEBRATE.—The twen- ty-third annual meeting and rennion of the Central Pennsylvania Odd Fellows Anni. versary association was beld in Look Haven last Friday and it is estimated that the [erowd of Odd Fellows and visitors present numbered from six to eight thousand peo- ple.

Shamokin was selected as the place of meet- ing next year. fo Aceon QA —— Cameron Boak, of Hughesville, Ly- coming county bus formerly of Snow Shoe, was almost electrocuted on Taesday night while a friend who went to his assistance was killed outright. A wire had fallen across a heavily charged electric light wire and then sagged across the pavement: Mr. Boak ran into the wireand was knocked down. His peigebor, George P. Frentz, saw him fall and ran to the rescue. He unthinkingly grabbed the wire to re- lease Boak when he received such a shook as to cause his iostans death. In getting the two men out of contact with the wire Harold Boak and B. L. Smith were also knocked down. Mr. Boak was so badly shocked that for twelve hours it was thought he would die but he is now recovering. e—— Ry i ——— MARRIAGE Licenses.—The following marriage licenses were issued the past week by Register Earle C.
