ORPHANAGE OVER BURGESS VETO. —Eight
members were present as Mouday night's
meeting of borough council. The Street
committee reported the Bishop street sewer
completed and that work has been resumed
on the Howard sireet sewer. The Market
committee tarned in $2 40 markets fees.
The Fireand Police committee reported
that recently a mao wade his escape from
the new steel cell io the lockup, bus the
authorities got even with him for daring to
do such & thing by re-arrestiog him and
baviog him heavily fined by the burgess.
Complaint was made about the condi
tion of the pavement infront of 8. D.
Ray's property on sonth Water street and
the clerk was instructed to notify him to
bave same repaired. Residents of Petriken
ball complained abouts members of sue
Bellefonte club burning rubbish in the rear
of their house on Spring strees, on the
grounds that it was daugerous. The Nai-
sauce committee was instructed to investi-
gate the case aod if the pracsioe is carried
on to suck an extent as to be deemed a
nuisance to notily the club to abate it.
Piobably the most interesting work of
council was its action on the Pruner
orphanage question. Is will be recalled
that the last ordinance passed by council in
favor of accepting the bequest of she late
Col. E. J. Pruaver for she establishing of
an orphasage, was vetoed by burgess John
L Curtin. The question was called up on
Monday eveniug by Dr. Kirk making a
motion that the ordinance be passed over
the burgess’ veso. The motion was seo ud-
ed by Mr. Shuey and in putting is before
council chairman Harry Keller stated thas
be did not believe she action legal. The
ordinance was passed, however, by avote of
6102, aud thas the question is disposed
of.
And now we trust that the action of
council in passing she Praner orphanage
over the Mayor's veto will prove a source of
much . graufication to the gentlemes who
were 80 deeply interested in bringing
about that result. There can be no doubt
of it, since some of them went so far as to
write most scarrilous letters to promiuent
people of the town who held opposite
views on the question and then were too
cowardly to sign their own names, but
uot clever enough to escape leaving ear
marks that bave since revealed their iden-
tity. As yer we have found no one who
opposed the orphanage proposition for
personal reasons while candor [forces
to state that so far as several members of
the council are concerned their own state
ments convict them of being for is because
of purely personal reasons. It is rumored
that two others were very assiduous in se-
curing the orphanage because they bave
caudidates for matron whom they bope to
land in that position. If this is true there
is this extenvating cironmstance to excase
men who would lend themselves to a caw-
paign of anonymoas letters under the guise
of pre-eminent purity aud in the face of a
majority of the taxable property iu the
town,
The WATCHMAN never was opposed to
the orphavage for any other reason than is
did not believe is needful to any condition
in Bellefonte. On the other hand jt does
believe that the money which could have
been secured would have dove a greater
good through the hospital. Bat since we are
© have the orphanage we trust that a field
will open up in which it may be able to
prove itself a great agency for good.
The following bills were approved and
oiders drawn :

wost of Bellelonters, who seem to infer
that we are living in a land of plenty, but
there are a few deserving persons in the
town who are actoally in need of the ne-
ocessities of life, and is is to such persons
the prooeeds of the donation party will go.

——Following close on the heels of
cobbler John Ellmore’s ash burning sen-
sation a company has now been organized
in Altoona fur toe parpose of manufactor-
ing patent briquettes, which is stated as a
new, cheap and smokeless fuel. In the
company are J C. Ewing, J. M. Goheen,
8. P. Eby and C. O Templeton, of Tyrone,
but all well known in Centre county.
And as these gentlemen rarely enter into
any scheme that is not a safe proposition
and a money -maker as well, it looks as if
they must have a wood thing. Pressed
brignettes, by the way, are manufactured
out of the screenings of roft coal, culm
from the anthracite mines and lignite, the
latter being secured from the vast heds of
that mineral in Oregon. The company
gave a recent test in Altoona which was
eaid to be very satisfactory.
——Though the Bellefonte Academy
foot ball team may not he winning games
by very big scores, they are making a
record they can be proud of. Their sched-
ule this year pats them up against a class
of teams much stronger than they have
been playing in past seasone and if they
fail to win their game, it ix lo=t by a very
varrow margin. Last Sasarday the strong
Dickinson Seminary eleven came to Belle:
foute and played the Academy on the
glass works meadow grounds and although
the visitors outweighed the Bellifonters
the latter played them to a standstill, the
score being 6 to 6. Today the Academy
team will leave for Saltshurg where they
will play Kiskiminetas tomorrow and on
Monday will the Iudiava Norwal
school team at Indiana. May they come
home with two scalps haugiog at sheir
belts.
REUNION oF FIrsT DEFENDERS. — The
annoal reunion of the Seventh Pennsyl-

Defenders,” was held at Roalsburg last
Saturday and never was there a more suoc-
ces~ful gathering of thie small band of
veterans than on that occasion. The day
was an ideal one and the big-hearted, open-
bavded hospitalisy of the people of Boals-
burg could nos help but make the gather.
ing anything (hav a most pleasant ove.
The entertainment committee were lavish
iu their preparations for the entertainment
of the soldiers. All told there were some
sixty comrades present but of this number
only thirteen iepresented the 108 men
com posiug company H, who lefs Boalsburg
forty-six years ago. They were Col. C. L.
Greenough, who came all the way from Cin-
cinnati to be present ; 8. H. Williams, W,
P. Harpster, B. B." Minnich, Andrew
Cramer, W. H. Masser, G. Armstrong Ja-
cobs, Charles Eckenroth, William Reed,
Philip Wertz, Jobn Hook and Griffith
Lytle.
The first thing in order after the arrival
of the veterans was a parade, which form-
ed as the old stone church and marched to
the town hall. There they were received
by a large gathering of citizens of Boals-
burg who welcomed them hy singing
*Columbia.”’ Comrade Hook,of Boalshury,
presided and introduced Col. Greenough,
who invoked the divine blessing on all,
Rev. A. A. Black made a very pleasant ad-
dress of welcome, which was responded to
hy Clement Dale, E q. On motion of 8. H.
Willi ms Col. Greenough was elected presi.
dent of she association, but on aceonnt of
him being a stranger in a strange land W,
H. Musser presided over the meeting at
the former's request,
When she noon hour came the members
of the First Defenders were entertained at
Peter Ishler's tavern as the guests of Mr,
Theodore Boal. Dinner was served to the
rest of the old soldiers present at the school
house. Aud just here we want to men-
tion that they all got more than they could
eat. Mrs. Amanda Fisher was chairman
of the committee of ladies who served the
dinner and so liberal were they in pre-
paring good things that they oonld have
fed double the crowd present.
In the afternoon another meeting was
held at which Miss Maigares Goheen sang
‘* Have You Gos the Coantersign,” while
speeches were made by Armstrong Jacobs
Col. Greenough aud a dozen others. Seven
little school girls sang ** Beautifal Flag of
the Brave,” while she meeting closed with
the entire assemblage singing ‘* When the
Roll is Called Up Yonder."

formed charch as at that time they dedi-
cated their hardsome new chapel on #piing
street. The dedicatory sermon was preach-
ed in the church at 10:30 o'clock in the
morning by Rev. Thomas L. Bickle, of
Philadelphia, a former pastor.
Following the sermon the pastor, Rev.
Ambrose M. Schmidt, announced the faot
that a new hrass eagle lecturn had been
presented to the church hy Mrs. Chestie
A. Harper, in memory of her bushand, the
late William Harper, which was daly oon -
secrated. Jared Harper, the church treas-
urer, announced that the new obapel had
been built and fornished at a cost of
$6,500, which with a nomber of improve-
ments to the church, made the total in-
debtedness $6 800. Of this amount the
congregation bad paid the sum of $4,650,
leaving a balance of $2 150 to be provided
for. To help make up this sum suhsorip.
tions and pledges to the amount of $1,700
were pledged by the congregation, the bal-
ance being assumed by the consistory. The
debt being fully provided for she congre-
gation proceeded to she chapel and the new
house of worship was formally dedicated
to the service of God.
Rev. Bickle again preached in the eve-
ning at which time the collection lifted

mings. It is 47x45 feet in size. The first
floor is divided into a main auditorium,
three olass rooms and a working room for
the Ladies Aid society. A spacious gallery
surrounds two sides of the chapel and his
will be divided into olass rooms. The
windows are of handsome stained glass,
those on the first floor being memorial
windows given hy various members of the
oharch. The interior is finished in South
Carolina pine and oak.
Too much oredit cannot be given the
Ladies Aid society for the building of the
chapel. They not only contributed two
thousand dollars toward the building of
the chapel but also furnished the carpet
which covers the floor. In every way the
Reformed chapel is one of the nicest in
Bellefonte.
