W. Hooden, of New Bethlehem, who represents the McIntosh cement brick mak- ing machines, has been in Bellefonte ex- perimenting in making cement brick from furnace slag, and she result of bis exper- iments has been so satisfactory that he ad- vooates the organization of a company for the manofacture of the brick. While cement brick are not a new com- modity on the market they are not in uni- versal use simply because their mauvufso- tare is limited and they are hardly known cuteide New York and a few eastern cities. Numerous advantages are claimed for this kind of brick over the common building brick, or even pressed brick, the principal one heing that they bave greater power of resistance and the older they become the barder they ges. They do not scale off, decay or disintergate in any way aud are therefore not only the best but the cheap- est brick made. . It in stated that the fornace slag bere is especially adapted to the manufacture of cement brick, owing to the high quality of limestone used in fluxing the furnace. The analysis of the slag sbows it to contain a large percentage of carbonate of lime, one of the chief qualities of cement. The mak. ing of cement brick is different from brick made of clay. The slag is ground and after being mixed with a certain percentage of cement and a small portion of sand is press- ed and cat, then put out in the open air to dry. It oeonally takes from eight to ten days to properly cure the brick ready for handling or building purposes. Just what will result from Mr. Hooden’s visit to Bellefonte is very problematical. Of course his prime object here was to demonstrate the efficiency of the McIntosh brick making machine, but at the same time be has shown the poseibilities for a good sized industry here in the way of a brick works for utilizing the mountains of slag at the two furnaces here in manufac- turing cement brick. Just how much money it woald require to build such a plant has not been divulged bat the propo- sition is one that is worth considering by the moneyed men of Bellefonte. Ed A WARNING TO MERCHANTS.—On or about the 29th of April A. J. Limeburner and C. W. Dickenshied, of Philadelphia, representatives of an organization known as The Business Association of Philadel: phia, were iu Bellefonte and solicited the aid of quite a number of Bellefonte mer- chants in a move to have the present mer- oantile tax law repealed. At she time the WATCHMAN exposed the methods of the association which, while within the pale of the law, had all the evidences of being merely a smooth way of parting the mer- cbaot from his money. Other papers throughout the State took the matter up with the result that the officers of the as- sociation became very!much exorcised over it. Now comes the Retail Merchants’ asso- oiation to the front, a honafide organiza- tion by the way, and shrough ite secretary, A. M. Howes, of Erie, has issued a state- ment in which they denounce the ‘‘irre- sponsible solicitors at work in many seo- tions of the State soliciting fande for the repeal of the mercantile tax law, and in many oases alleging that they are working in the interest of the Retail Merchants’ as- sociation.” They claim that thousands of dollars have already heen collected in that way and warn all merchants vot to con- tribute a cent for any such purpose. The Retail Merchants’ association bas one hundred and forty-eight affiliated as- sociations, covering nearly all of the cities and towns in the State, and their individ- ual membership runs into many thousands. BAILEYVILLE PioNIC.—The sixteenth annual harvest home pionic and reunion of company E, 148 Pennsylvania volunteers, will be held at Baileyville on Saturday, August Sth.

Jobn J. Bower was second with 68, R. B. Free- mao third with 66 and H. C. Quigley fourth with 65. ——Howe's show drew only a small crowd of people to Bellefonte last Friday and most of those went home before she afternoon performance. Since thatshow's visit here rumore are current that three big shows are hooked for Bellefonte hefore the close of the weason, but the railroad of- ficials here state that they have no notifi- cation of the kind, and as cironses are always routed several months in advance it looks as it Bellefonte has had the ouly show it will have this year—unpless it is some little one-horse aflair. ——" ——The Bell Telephone company of Pennsylvania has a very attractive and in. teresting advertisement on the sixth page of today’s WATCHMAN, It tells you ina few terse sentences just what you lose by not having a telephone ; and naturally if you ate a loser by pot being a subscriber you would make money by being one. They are now making an especially allar- ing offer for rural line subscribers, which is all explained in a little booklet which will be mailed free for the asking. Read their advertisement this week. > —— Prof. A. Reist Rutt, who was so unceremoniously and unfairly ogsted from the principaiship of the Lower Merion schools, in Montgomery county, because of contention among the board of directors over the erection of a new High school building, is a candidate for the superin- tendency of the Altoona schools. In his work in this place nine years ago, six years at Milton and three years at Lower Merion Prof. Rutt proved bimeelf not only an able educator but a competent head of the echools, and we feel confident if he euc- ceeds in securing the appointment at Al- toona that he will give a good account of himself. ——QOne day last week members of a camping party in the Scootac region, where the Panthers generally spend two weeks daring the deer season, heard the report of a gun and upon going to investigate found that two men who had been fishing in the Scootac creek had shot a big buck that bad gone to the creek for water. The campers followed the men until they drew a revolv- er and threatened to shoot if they did not ®o back when they got away without being recognized. Later it was found that the men bad cut the rear quarters from the deer and left the hide and the remainder of the animal lying in the woods. This is a case where the detective work of a good game warden would be appreciated by all legitimate hunters, ——— A sn —— ——On Monday morning Ellis Stiue, the fireman as the shirt factory, fired up the boilers as usual and when the steam gauge registered about twenty pounds there was an explosion and a rush of escaping steam. When the latter cleared away an examina- tion showed that the manhole on the boiler bad been blown off. What caused the ao- cident could not be determined. An in- speotor had examined the boiler as late as last Thursday and pronounced it in good condition, but there evidently was either a fiaw in the cap or defective rivets which weakened the part to that extent that the small steam pressure caused the explosion. In cousequence of the ao- cident the factory was shut down until a new cap was received from the foundry aud riveted in place. The one fortunate thing about the accident is shat no one was olose enough to the boiler to be ecald- ed by the escaping steam and bot water. WHY 13 I 2—Why is it that in this ideal agricultural district aud season of abun- dance in crops of all kinds that Bellefonte families bave to pay more for produce and berries of every kind at the carb market than the same things can be purchased for in any other town or even city in the State ? As an example: Roasting ears have been in the market tbe past ten days or two weeks and while they are selling in Philadelphia, Williamsport and other places for fifteen cents a dozen twenty-five cents a dozen is the price demanded in Bellefonte ; and the backsters get 1t too. Huokleberries are being sold for five and six cents a quart in other markete while hacksters will not take less than eight and ten cents for them in Bellefonte. In fact the berries are heing gathered by the bush. el and sold to shippers for five cents a quart at Coburn, Howard and other places in the county, while the same people if they offer their berries in the Bellefonte markets ask double that price. Huokleher- ries are even being shipped here and sold for five cents a quart. As it is with corn and huckleberries so it is with all kinds of produce aod berries, while batter and eggs as well as chickens bring equally high prices. Spring chick. ens, for instance, are bringing eighteen to twenty cents a pound, and not prime chiok- ens at that. While the farmers and buck- sters are not to blame for getting all they can for their produce it only seems fair that they should be willing to accept from Bellefonte people the same price they re- oeive when selling to shippers for foreign markets. RAILROAD COMPANY EXONERATED.— On Monday the coroner’s jury composed of Willard Hall, W. Miles Walker, Fred Montgomery, Paul Sheffer and Frank Bartley, with Dr. P.S. Fisher, corover, met and beard the evidence in the case of the killing of Miss Lizzie Jones, of Miles- burg, on the railroad just north of town last Thoreday morning. The principal witness was the flagman who was on the rear platform of the train at the time it struck Miss Jones.” He testified shat he blew the air whistle as a danger signal and aleo gave the signal to the engineer to stop the train. Bot the young woman was evidently confused and did not hear the whistle and the train was so close that it could not be stopped in time to avert the accident. The testimony of the brakeman was corroborated by Rev. Barshinger and several other witnesses and in view of that fact the jury exonerated the railroad com- pany and its employees from all blame. —c- HeLp Up FoR DAMAGES. —Last Satar day ex-Senator George W. Ketchum, of Newark, N. J., passed through Centre county in his aotomobile on a trip to Fravoklin, Pa. Goiog op Bald Eagle val- ley he met raral mail carrier E. D. Under- wond whose horse frightened at the auto- mobile, ran away and broke Lis wagon. Mr. Ketchum and party crossed the moun- tain to Philipsburg and upon their arrival there they were held up by chief of police Ira D. Saokey, at the request of rural mail carrier Underwood, who claimed damages for his broken vehicle. Mr. Ketchum was considerable surprised at the holdup as be claimed he stopped his oar as 8000 as he noticed that the horse was frightened and that therefore it was not his fault that the animal ran away. He refused to settle for any damages and gave bail in the sam of one hundred dollars for his appearance at court, Clande Gette going on his bond.
