Base BALL Dorxas.—As it looks now |
Bellefonte will be represented this season |
with a baseball team and be ove of the four
towns comprising what will be known ae
the Central Pennsylvania league, the oth-
er three towns being Look Haven, Jersey
Shore and Renovo. Preliminary steps for
the organization of the league were taken
at a meeting Leld in Lock Haven last Sas-
urday evening at which Bellefonte was
represented by Harry Otto. All the other
towns were represented and the feeling was
that by confining the personnel of the team
to strictly local players the expense oould
be kept within the limis of the receipts
and at the same time strong enough teams
could he gotten together so make the con-
tests interesting. Another meeting will
be held at the Fallon hoase in Look Haven
this (Friday) evening when the league
will be permanently organized and officers
elected.
A meeting of Bellefonte enthusiasts wae
beld in the arbritration room in the court
bourse on Monday evening and is was unan-
imogely agreed to organize an association
and join the above leagne. The following
officers were elected : President, Hon. J.
C. Meyer; vice president, Dr. W. W.
Feidt ;scoretary, John J. Bower ; treasur-
er, George R. Meek. John Curtin was
chosen manager of the team which will be
made up oat of the following list of play-
ers ;
Pitchers, Leo Scholl, Earl Kline and
Dandy Gilliland ; catchers, Harold Kirk
and Rash Irwin ; first base, Hary Otto;
second base, Morris Otto; third base, Phil.
ip Holter ; shortstop, Robert Roberts ; left
field, Ralph Moerschbacher ; centre field,
Ed Keichline, and right field, Jokn Gor-
don. Ata meeting last evening delegates
were elected to represent the Bellefonte as-
sociation at the meeting in Look Haven
this evening to complete the organization
of the league.
Dory's ICE PLANT. Two weeks ago we
made mention of the fact that William
Doll, the baker, was going to circumvent
the ioe famine in Bellefonte by installing
an artificial ice plant of his own. The ma.
chinery and tank for the plans arrived on
Wednesday and a force of experienced
workmen are now engaged putting it up
in oue end of bis hig ioe house in the rear
of the Bash Arcade. They expect to have
it completed in a day or swo and from thas
on Mr. Doll will not have to worry a par*
ticle about where his ice will come from.
The plant is not a small one by any
means, the tank being about twelve feet
long by four wide and four feet in depth.
The plant will have a capacity of two tons
of ice every twenty-four hoars, which will
be more than doeble the quantity Mr. Doil
will need for his own use. But a number
of hig ice nsers in Bellefonte, who were
caught without getting any ice stored, are
considering a deal with Doll to supply
them and there is hardly any doabt, but
that if he wants to do it he can easily dis:
pose of all the surplae ice he can manufac-
ture by ranning bis plant to its full capaoc-
ity. And the one good thing about the
artificial ice will be that it will be good
and solid and being frozen out of Belle.
fonte water will be absolutely pure and
clean,

ENGINE House BURNED.—Between
three and four o'clock last Friday morning
fire broke out in tbe engine house of the
Bellefonte Central Railroad company at
Coleville and the entire building was barn-
ed to the ground. Aogastas Wian is the
night watchman at thg building and he
bad passed the corner where the fire broke
out not over fifteen minutes before the
flames were discovered. When he return-
ed be saw a small blaze near the roof in
one corner of the room and at once sent in
an alarm. The Logan fire company re-
sponded but by the time they arrived on
the soene the building was all on fire and
it was all they could do to save the oar
shops and adjoining buildings. There
were seven locomotives in the engine house
at the time, two of which, because of bav-
ing steam up, were gotten out in salety
while five of them remained in the baild-
iog and were badly damaged. Only two
of the engines belonged to the railroad
company, the other five being the property
of Wilson & Co., of Philadelphia, and being
in the shops for repair. The damaged en-
gines included four of Wilson & Co's and
one belongiog to the railroad company.
The total loss aggregated abous $10,000,
on which there was wu partial insurance.
For THE HOSPITAL AMBULANCE.—
Great interest is being manifested in the
entertainment to be held in she opers
house on Friday evening, May 21st, in the
interest of raising money to purchase an
up-to-date rubber tired ambulance for the
Bellefonte hospital. Tickets are being
sold quite plentilally in Bellefonte, Miles-
burg, Centre Hall and other places ; and
quite a number of generous contributions
in money have been made to the fand.
A new and up-to-date ambulance for the
hospital is almost an ahsolute necessity,
and she one it is purposed getting will not
only be a credit to the institation but one
that will insure as much comfort as possi-
ble to patients who have to be taken to the
hospital. The price of the ambulance will
be a little over four hundred dollars and in
order to insure ite purchase as soon as pos-
sible the people of the town and county
muss be liberal in their patronage of the
coming entertainment. In addition, they
can be assared of getting a good evening's
amusement in return for their money, as
some of the best local talent here and a
State College will take part in the same.
Prices of admiesion will be from 25 cents
up.

was effected by the election of the follow-
ing officers:
President, Robert F. Hunter; vice presi-
dens, Jobn 8. Walker; secretary, M. I

ative committee, Col. W. Fred Reynolds,

other organization or individual in the
cause of good public roads and the proper
enforcement of the law in every way. As

ate as well protected as their own. Sach
was the sentiment of every man present
at the meeting and with this as their plat-
form they should prove a success.

my nine aod the event will be made the

a monument to his enthusiastic interest in
athletics at all times, the grounds will be

A PROGRAM OF EXTRAORDINARY IN.
TEREST.—Lymao H. Howe's moving pio-
tures to be seen at Garman’s on Wednes-
day evening, May 19th, are not only the
best but they are entirely differents from
the rest. The new program leaves a great-
er gap than ever between this and all oth.
er moving picture exhibitions. In subject
matter as well as realism the new program
is incomparable. It takes the audience to
Russia, Egypt, France, Cornwall and the
Andes ; shows the amazing performances of
a common fly ; the fearless horsemanship
of Italian cavalrymen ; the daring drivers
of huge automobiles racing for the Grand
Prix, Frauce ; Wilbar Wright's Aeroplane
flights, the great flood in Moscow ; and na-
merous other features of extraordinary in-
terest. Popular prices.
