News of May 4th publishes quite an extensive ao- count of a proposed inserurban trolley road from that city to Bryan, Ohio, and in the artiole we notice that R. T. Bastress, of Harlan, Ind., is one of the promoters and is taking a prominent part in pushing the project. While Mr. Bastress is not a pa- tive of Centre county he less than a year ago married a Centre county woman in the person of Mrs. Elizabeth Corl, of Pennsyl- vania Faroace, and this fact alone entitles him to the interest of all Centre ocountians for success in his undertaking. — GA rm — ——1I# is rarely shas Bellefonters bave an opportunity of enjoying such a rare musio- al treat as that offered by the recital in the court honse on Wednesday evening for the benefit of 8s. Jobn’s Episcopal church ; and it was just as pleasing to those who man- aged it as it was to those who participated 80 eee that their efforts were appreciated to the extent of a very good audience. Each one of the performers are so well known in Ballelonte that it is not necessary to enlarge on their musical abilities, and their voices oouldn’s have been in better tune than they were on Wednesday nighs. The songs and instrumental music were all of a high olass and were rendered with such a correctness of expression as to dely oriticism. —— ——On Wednesday of last week Mrs. Jerome A. Confer, of Yarnell, was sixty- five years old and in celebration of the event her daughter, Miss Fannie, arranged an old fashioned quilting bee and surprise party together. Her elder daughter, Mre. Walker, w bo lives in Wess Virginia, being apprised of the proposed party, arranged for a postoard shower and between the two Mrs. Confer was not only much surprised bat greatly pleased at the kind shoughful- ness of her danghters, as her impaired Bealth prevents ber participating in the everyday enjoyments of life. She was also the recipient of quite a number of useful presents. Of course a big{dinner was one of the prominent parts of the big time ail bad. Ye tao thy are making good progress and have already made a big whole in the terrace in the rear of the old school house. On the northern live of the building they struck rook with ou having $0 go over three feet deep while at the south-west corner they went down about eight feet before they struck rook. Of course when they dig through the terrace for the southern and eastern walls they will bave to go down possibly twenty-five or thirty fees, all of which will bave to be filled in with solid concrete. On the west side the conorete will only come to the top of the ground, or up 0 the basement floor. WaGNER.—Mrs., Catharine Wagner, widow of the late Jacob D.

Oae is thas the club will pass the other is that the Quaker City club is taking this ron in order to test out the most available route for the new state passed by the recent Legisiature and which will undoubtedly be signed by the Gov- ernor. Of course it must not be supposed that the route taken by the club will be the commission whose business it will be to lay out the state highway, but the knowledge gained by the automobiliste making the trip of the two routes they will take on the west- ern and eastern trip will go a long ways towards influencing the members of the The pathfinder car, a big sixty horse power American Traveler, which always goes over the route in advance to definitely stations, cte., passed through Bellefonte sistant pathfinder; Lewis G.

These striking figures are brought out in the annual report the pension department of the company bas just issved. When ite pension system was inangu- rated by the Pennsylvania railroad for the purpose of providing for its employees in their old age, the sum of $300,000.00 was appropriated for the first year’s payments. This sum was continued for two years, and in 1902 increased to $390,000.00 per an- pum. In 1907 it was raised to $608,000.- 00. This does nos include the operating expesses of the department, which are also paid by the company, and which in 1908 amounted to $5,369.47. All employees, no master of what rank, receive pension allowances on relatively equal terms. For every year of service rendered the company, a retired employee is paid one per cent. of his average salary for the ten years immediately preceeding bis retirement. In other words, a man who bas worked for the company fifty years, and who receives an average annual salary of $1,000.00 she last ten years of notive service, receives a pension of $500.00 a year. A total of 367 employees were retired on pensions in 1908, while 211 men who were already on the pension list died during the year. The number of retired employees on December 31s, 1908, was 2,176 or 156 more than at the close of 1907. The average age of those receiving pensions is 73 years and 3 monthe, while the oldest employee on the list attained the age of 92 years in 1908.

The latter was won by State by the score of 6 to 4, b after a very exciting contest. The inter-soholastic meet was especially interesting to Bellefonters because of the fact thas one of the teams entered was from the Bellefonte Academy and, even though this was the first time that institution ever essayed to enter a track and field contest, they came out of the contest with third honors, and one member of the team, Sprague, mude the best individual score of ‘| any contestant on the field, having a total of thirteen points to bis oredis.

Spring Mills bas no base ball team yet What's the matter with our young men ?* The juveniles are endeavoring to get up a team, but even that seems to be uphill work. A year or two ago Spring Mills bad a strong team, and they played well, but now it seems that the spirit of the game here has fizzled out. If wheat continues to advance in price like it has of late we will soon be forced to go up on a ladder to ascertain the figures. This business of cornering wheat or any food stuff for an unnatural price is a villianous piece of work, and when the bottom drops out of the speculation no one is ever sorry for the ruin of the principals but only hope that the work is complete and beyond resurrection. Col. T. B. Jemison in making a business trip down the valley on Monday of last week, was taken suddenly ill with an attack of indigestion and was obliged to stop off at Millheim and remain over night.

Fisher's Sons, merchants of Penn Hall, have put new flooring in their store room, as the old one was worn so thin that there was great danger of castomers and others falling through to the cellar.

The firm is doing a large business, even the martens from their airy castle in frons of the store, erected for their benefit, notice the activity for the more noise and business surrounding them the greater their racket and babbling. Weather conditions made the birds nearly a month later than usual. The colony is not quite as large as it was last summer, Burned Brother's Store For $50.
