I Il il REEDER. —After a lingering illness with Bright's disease Charles W. Reeder, a well known resident of Philipsburg, died in Bickrorp CoMPANY Buys CURWENS- VILLE PLANT.—A mouth or more ago the WATCHMAN made mention of the fact that the Bickford Fire Brick company had giv- €i up the idea of building a new plant at or near DuBois and was negotiating for the purchase of the plans of the defuanot Car- wensville Fire Brick company. The deal was fiaally closed last Satarday when, at a trustees’ sale in bankruptey, the Bickford company became the purchasers and as soon as the unecessary transfer papers can be made out will come into full possesion of the same. Bellefonters are especially interested in this deal as the Bickford company is the one promoted by J. C. Meyer E«q., and Jobo C. Rowe, of this place, and in which quite a number of people hereabouts have purchased stock. Saturday’s por chase includes a large and completely equipped fire brick plant, with all neces- sary buildings, machinery, boilers and en- gives, twenty-three kilos, stock shed, tram- way, tools and fixtures for the operation of the plant. It also includes several hundred acres of coal and clay lands as well as the right, title and interest of the defanet Car- wensville company in articles of agree: ment and leases beld oo coal, clay aud mining rights on many more hundreds of acres of land in close proximity to the plant; and in addition a large tract of land in Union county. The purchase also in- clades a quarter of a million building brick now on hand in the storage sheds. In addition to what they acqnired at Saturday's sale the Bickford company are the owners of several thousand ncres of coal and fire clay lands in the vicinity of DuBois, which they acquired over a year ago and where they first contemplated building their plant. And, as it now tians- pires, these lands are nearér by several miles to the Carwensville plant than they would have been to the DuBois plant. It is the intention of the Bickford com- pany to make some changes in the Car- wensville plant just as soon as Saturday's sale is confirmed, in the way of additions and improvements, which will almoss double the capacity of the plant. In the meantime it is their intention to begin operations as soon as possible and work it to its present capacity, which is about fifty thousand brick per day. It is expected that the plant will be in fall operation by the middle of December. The price paid for the Curwensville plant was $175,000. ad DR. SPARKS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE. — Official announcement was made yesterday that Dr. Edwin Erle Sparks, of the Uni- versity of Chicago, bad heen elected presi- dent of the Pennsylvania State College and had accepted the office.

The one great fault with the new iron bridge over Penns creek is that the foot walk is on the wrong side. This was a policy of “penny wise pound foolish.” Having it on the north side the walk is from ten to a dozen feet shorter than it would be if on the south, owing to a curve in the water course entering Allison's flouring mill. Of course pedestrians must wade, often ankle deep in mud, over the main road to gain the foot walk, and then, as eight out of ten in cross- ing go to the railroad station, must again wade through mud over the same road they just crossed to reach that point. Whereas bad the walk been on the soutbern side, where it should be, all this wading through mud and filth in wet weather would be will matter little, as the novelty of the exper. jence will be satisfaction enough for him.
