ADDITIONAL LOCALS,
FATHER AND Two CHILDREN HAVE
Narrow EscaPe.—William Walker, son
and daughter, of Harris township, bad a
miraculous escape from death in a railroad
accident last Friday evening. They bad
attended a public sale and were on their
way home, the boy doing the driving.
They bad to cross the railroad at Gregg
station and were aware that it was about
time for the train. It is stated that the
girl said after the accident thas she told
her brother to wait until the train passed
bat he would not do so, saying they had
plenty of time to ges across hefore the train
came along.
The train, hy the way, was twenty min-
utes late and ranning fast to make up lost
time. Eogineer Theodore Cherry was at
the throttle and he avers that he not oniy
blew the whistle for the crossing but when
he saw the boree and huggy on the track
blew the danger whistle and threw on the
brakes. The train could not be stopped in
time, however, and the locomotive struck
the rear end of the buggy with such force
as to tear it loose from the horee and hurl
it a distance of thirty feet, smashing i
into fragments. The oocupants were hurled
out and it was as first thought all were
killed outrighs.
As soon as the train could be stopped it
was backed to the place of the accident and
R. M. Fuster and Dr. Robinson, of State
College, and E. T. Gregory, of Bellefonte,
jumped off and with the trainmen looked
alter the injured. Mr. Walker was the
most seriously burt, itsince developing
that his spine is injured and he is also hart
internally, though this week he is some
better and his recovery is expected. The
girl was cot and bruised and the boy had
two teeth knooked out but peither was
seriously hurt. They were all taken home
by neighbors.

recent comedy from the pen of George Ade,
evtitled ‘‘Just Oas of College,” will he
the attraction in the Auditorium, at State
College on Monday evening, April 13th.
It is said thas in this play Mr. Ade has in.
troduced many new types and while he has
embellished some old ones, he has given
them all something new to do. In writing
the comedy Mr. Ade bas made use of his
gifs of bumor to pat in the “lime Light"

Edward Worthington Swinger, is a nervy
youug man jost graduated. Swinger has
fallen desperately in love with one, Cai-
oline Pickering, daughter of the piskle
king. Old man Pickering thinks Swinger
a silly avs and insists on his makiog good
before he will surrender the daughter. To
give Swinger every chance in the world,
Pickering lends him $20,000 and orders
him $o report in three months. Swinger
doesn’s have to repors, for, at the end of
the first month, Pickering is out with hig
money to buy up the new Bingo Pickle
company which, by new methods, has pat
the pickle tiust on the run. Swinger, as a
silent partuer in the Bingo company, has
furnished the sinews of war with Picker-
ing’s money. Of course, the young man
gets the girl and manages to show quite a
profit on Pickering’s loss. There are side
plots which are nicely woven into the gen-
eral story and all redolent of the Ade
bumor. This will be an attraction youn
won't want to miss.

STATE COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT.— Al-
though the forty-eighth annual commence
ment of The Pennsylvania State College
will not be held until June 14—17, and no
complete program has yet been arranged
for that occasion, it has been decided by
the college management to make it the
star commencement in the history of the
college. Of course the most of the usual
exercises will still have a place on the pro-
gram but on commencement day proper
the moss if not all the class orations with
the exception of the valediotory will be
dispensed with. There will be the usual
commencement address and the balance of
the time will be taken up with she exer-
cises incident to the installation of Dr,
Edwin Erle Sparks as president of the
college.
It is also expeoted that commencement
week will witness one of the biggest
gatherings of prominent men interested in
the welfare of the college as well as leading
members of the alumoi association ever as-
sembled there at one time. It is known
that among those who will be invited and
are expected to attend will be Governor
Edwin 8. Stoart, Hon. Andrew Carnegie,
Charles M. Schawb, Gilbert 8. White and
a host of others who realize the worth of
the college as an educational iustitution
and bave faith to believe in its future.

ATHLETIC FIELD ASSURED.—There is
now every assurance that the old glass
works meadow will be fixed up this spring
into a suitable athletio field for the Belle-
fonte Academy and other sporting events.
Failing to get the voting contest properly
started a sell-constituted committee took
the matter in hand and bave already suo-
ceeded to that extent that they have al-
ready raised by private subsoription a sul-
ficient fund to build a high hoard fence
around the ground. The grounds will also
be leveled and put in good condition so far
ao the field itself is concerned. The fund,
however, is not hig enough to provide for
the erection of a grandstand and bleachers
aod this is an improvement very much de-
sired.
Of course the Academy management
mean to keep right ahead until they have
accomplished their purpose in having the
grounds fully completed, and as it will
take more money to do so they still solioit
private subsoriptions for this purpose. It
you have not already done so don’t be baok-
ward in giviog what you can. Contribu-
tions made to either James R. Hughes,
Hard P. Harris, Edward L. Hoy or George
R. Meek will reach the proper fund and be
gratefully received.
CELEBRATED EIGHTY FIFTH BIRTHDAY
ANNIVERSARY.—On Monday Caps. George
W. Lingle, of Beeoh Creek, was eighty-five
years old and the event was oelebrated

Centre county and both he and Mrs. Lingle
are still hale and hearty.
members of borough council who were
present at the regular meeting on Monday
evening bad their bands fall gesting rid of
the lot of miscellaneous business brought
before them.
Ju the varions committee reports the
chairman of the Water committee reported
the damage done to the water works by the
flood of several weeks ago. The Fire and
Police committee reported that a uew uni-
form was needed for policeman Alters and
they were instructed to purchase same.
Thomas J. Sexton, of the Yeager Swing
company, appeared before council aod
after stating the loss they sustained by
the recent flood, wich he placed at five
baudred dollars, asked certain concessions
in the way of rebates on taxes, ete. The
matter was referred to the Water commistee
for investigation and report.
The matter of the purchase of new hose
for the two fire companies was pretty thor-
oughly discussed. New hose costs any-
where from sixty-five cents to one dollar a
foot, accordiug to make and quality. Oo
motion of Dr. Kirk it was decided to eu-
gage au experienced man to examine the
hose on band, give them a thorough test
and repair all shat was worth repairing,
after which it was decided shat coaucil
purchase Red Cross hose when it was de-
cided how much would be needed to fully
equip both companies.
Mr. Musser stated that collector Ishler
wae baviog trouble collecting the water
tax and offered a resolution in effect that
the borough solicitor look up she master to
see whether the property owner could not
be held liable for the water tax instead of
the tenant and, if so, draw up an ordinance
covering the same. Dr. Kirk offered a
resolution providing shat all water users
could have a meter put on and pay regular
meter rates, providing shey pay for the
meter and patting it on. The resolution
carried,
As to the wisdom or practicability of the
resolution permitting individuals to pur-
chase their own water meters and then pay
for the water consumed at meter rate in-
stead of at the regular schedule rate adopt.
ed by council there isserionsdonbt. While
there is no question as to the absolute and
final equity of a water meter system, by
which each person pays for what he uses,
no more, no less, this resolution, if carried
into practice, would work a loss to the
water department and an injustice to poorer
people who cannot afford to buy meters.
Supposing that all persons who can afford
todoso were to buy meters. We think
that we are within the troth when we say
that seventy-five per cent. of these would
probably realize a thirty per cent. reduo-
tion in their water rents. The loss to the
borough would be considerable. It would
have to be made up, either by raising the
schedule on the poorer people who cannot
buy meters, or by raising the meter rates.
If the latter is to be done then, why intro-
duce the system at all ? It bas beeu shown
repeatedly that notwithstanding a cutting
off of a considerable daily consumption of
water there has been no corresponding re-
duction of the cost of pumping, and if the
cost of pumping should not be reduced in
proportion to the reduced rentals received
from those using meters certainly the water
department must stand the loss or raise she
rates,{while council would be continually
subjected to abuse for maintaining a system
that would not be within the reach of all
citizens. While the WATCHMAN does uot
believe that metere are needed on private
houses in Bellefonte ; where we have such
so abundance of water at a very low rental
already, it does believe that if council wante
to be absolutely fair in this matter the
proper thing to do is to put meters on every
consumer.
Complaint was made of a sewer on Lamb
street, near R. B. Taylor's coal yard, and
the Street committee was ordered to investi-
gate and report.
Hon. J. H. Wetzel was elected borough
engineer for the ensuing year.
The American Telephone company asked
permission to lay underground cables on
Allegheny street. It is their desire to as
far as possible remove their poles from the
main streets of the town snd substitute
underground cables with pole lines in al-
leys. They propose laying the cables in
cement so that they will not have te be
touched for years. This matter was also
referred to the Street committee for inves.
tigation and report at next meeting.
The Pruner orphanage question was given
one moie step forward when president
Dominio Judge appointed Jared Harper a
member of the board of managers for one
year and Sigmund Joseph a member for
two years. Tyrone council will be notified
of these appointments and will be entitled
to the appointments of two members of the
board, after which the four men thus
named will eleos the fifth man and the five
of them will constitute the board, accord-
ing to the provisions of the will of the late
