If not, you have missed some good pictares and a half hour's very pleasant en- tertainment every evening. The picture on Monday evening of life ona French battleship was an exceptionally interesting one,and at the same time highly educating. Pictures like that are of far more educa- sional value thio ball a book of desorip- tive matter on the same subject and the wonder is that moving picture companies do not make is their bnsiness to secure more of them. Pictures of that character, of travel aud of places of inserest would raise the standard of the motion picture shows in general one hundred per cent. and the combine ought to be smart enough to see it. As it is now, however, manager Brown always gets the best there is 10 the market for the Scenic and this is a lact his patrons can always rely upon. ——Monday evening James Bayard and Brint Mongon inbibed a little too freely with the 1esult thas they were placed in the lockup. Not being exactly sanited with the confining qualities of their quarters they attempted to break ont but only suc- oeeded in badly damaging the lock upon the door. Being baffled in their delivery purposes they tackled the water spigot and mavoaged to break it off. It is hardly like: ly they contemplated the result, but be that as it may, they met their just deserts. The water poured into the building and there being no escape it soon coversd the floor and began to rise. The men bellow- ed for release but got no reply. They finally managed to knock a hole in one side of the building about eight inches from the floor and this kept the water from rising higher than that. As it was, however, they were compelled to stand in water over ankle deep all night, and as punishment for their act the burgess kept them there until late Tuesday afternoon, when they were released, looking more like drowned rats than anything elee. The next time they are looked up they won’s monkey with the water spigot.

Chairman Kirk also called attention of council to the fact that plumbers in the town were tapping water mains and making connection without first securing permission of council or the Water committee. There is an ordinance regu- latiog the tapping of water mains which provides a penalty ol twenty-five dollars for such action as ahove and the Water committee was instructed to so notily all the plumbers in town and any inliinge- ment in the future will result in the parties heing prosecuted. Complaint was made of the bad sanitary condition of east Lamb and Logan streets. Neither of these thoroughfares have a sewer and all waste water is poured intoa ror- face gutter alongside the street where it becomes stagnant and the result isa very disagreeable and unbealthy condition.

The Street committee recommended that repaire he made on Spring street where it intersects with Lamb and council so or- dered.

COLLEGE ORCHESTRA CONCERT.—One of the best musical treats given in Bellefonte in many a day was the concert by the Penn State orchestra last Thursday evening and to the shame of the people of Bellefonte it must be said that there were not enough of people present to justify the young men in giving the concert; and yes, for the benefit of those who did attend they gave their full program. The orchestra is com- posed of thirty young men under the leader- ship of Robeson H. Allport, of Philips- burg, and their selections were all classieal and rendered in a masterful manner. The mandolin solo by Mr. Meyer, a baritone solo by Armstrong, Stute’s well known singer, and a violin solo by Mr. Meissner were also exceptionally pleasing to the an- It she orchestra should return to Bellefonte at a more opportune time they dience. doubtless would be well patronized.

Platt Clique Is In Control, and It Is Said the Directors Have Voted Ex- orbitant Saiaries to Insiders and Used Funds For Speculative Pur- poses. New York, May 18.—Charges of mis- conduct in the use of money and in the management of the United States Express company, to the detriment of the interests of the stockholders, are made in the action brought by John L. Dudley, a stockholder, against for- mer United States Senator Thomas C. Platt, president, and other officers of the company, to have a receiver ap- pointed to take charge of its affairs. Among other things it is asserted that the directors have paid dividends imperiling the company’s capital; that they have voted themselves extrava- gant salaries; used the funds for speculative purposes and surrendered large amounts of business unnecessar- ily to rivals. A meeting of stockholders to elect officers, it is alleged, has not been held for forty years, and during that time the directors, it is said, have made of themselves a “self-perpetuat- ing body.” Co-defendants with Platt are his sons, Edward T. Platt and Frank H. Platt; James C. Fargo, president of the Wells-Fargo Express company and a director in the United States Ex- press company; Levi C. Welr, presi- dent of the American Express com- pany and a former director of the United States Express company: Francis Lynde Stetson and Chauncey H. Crosby. It is asserted that the defendants, while controlling the entire direction of the company, own less than half of 1 per cent of the stock. The complaint further declares that President Platt is an old man, in poor health, and is unable because of his physical weak- ness to perform the duties of his of- fice. The proceedings consisted of an ar- gument before Supreme Court Justice Guy in a motion to show cause why a peremptory writ of mandamus should not be issued, permitting Dudley, with counsel and accountants, to examine the records of the company. An action with a similar object was begun re- cently by B. F. Spraker, of Cana- joharie. Quarrel Over a Crap Game Ends In Brutal Murder.
