Nrrraxy Country Crus House BURN- ED T0 THE GROUXD.—Ounly the tall chim- neys and a pile of smouldering ashes remain as gaant and inanimate spectres of what was up votil two days ago the beau- tifal home of the Nittany Country club at Hecla, fire on Wednesday night baving made a clean sweep of the magnificent building. Just how it originated is a mys tery that will probably never be solved. In addition to the steward, William Kelley and family and the maids employed there the bounse this week was occupied by the children of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Shoe- maker, in charge of Miss Mame Ceader and Mre. Lillie G. Reeder. The fire started over in the northwest corner bedroom on the second floor about 8 30 o'clock and was discover. ed by Mies Ceader who was at the tele- phone downstairs talking to ber mother sod looking up eaw fire dropping through to the pantry. She immediately gave the alarm but by the time Mr. Kelley and others got to the room the flames almost filled that apart. mens. Unfortunately the hoose had no adequate fire protection, as the water piped there bad not force enough to throw a stream. A bucket brigade endeavored to extinguish the flames but it was soon evi. dent that their efforts were vain and the crowd assewbled tarved their efforts so eav- ing the contents of the house, moss of which were gotten out, tbough some of it was more or less damaged. The Bellefonte fire de’ partmens was appealed to for help, bat at onoe realized thas it was useless to respond as there was no water for use if they bad gone down, and then the building being a frame strooture, wonld be in ashes before they could get there. So fast did the fire burn that in joss one hour from the time it was discovered noth. ing bat a pile of red hot cinders remained. Notwithstanding the fact that the fire was an aousoally hot ove the flames did not communicate to the barn or any of the oth- er adjacent buildings, though the grass on the lawn and in the orchard canght fire, the apple trees were badly scorched and nearby telephone poles were ablaze, but no particnlar damage was dove. The Conntry club house dates back to 1897, when in April of that year the Nis. tany Rod and Gan clnb was organized with J. Henry Cocaran, of Williamsport, presi. dent, and members from all over the State. The house which was then the MoMaullen home was leased and enlarged and remod- eled into the commodious building it bas since been. The ahove club held sway un- til early io the year of 1902 when, dissen- sions baving arisen the club became insoly- ent and the property, etc., was sold at sheriff’s sale. It was boughs in by Col. Spangler for a number of gentiemen who bad io mind the organization of a more strictly local olub, the price paid being abouts $2,200. Shortly after that, or on July 10th, 1902, the Nittany Country club was organized and Col J. L. Spangler wae elected president. They bave occupied the property ever since and at this time have a list of about seventy-five members. The house was not only handsomely far- pished throughout but bad its own steam heating plant, water eservice throughout the building and less than a month ago the club completed their own electric lighting plant. The intrinsic value of the house as a club bome could bardly be estimated, bus with the buildings and furnishings it would represent something like twenty thousand dollars. The club bad $3,000 insurance on the personal property which will cover the big end of their loss. Law. rence McMullen carried $6,000 insuravce on the building for the McMullen estate. At this time it is impossible to make any statement of the future of the Country club as nothing will be known until they haves meeting. It is hardly probatle that the clab house at that place will be rebuilt however. The present officers of the clab are: Presidens, Col. J. L. Spavgler ; vice president, R. B. Freeman ; secretary and treasurer, Geo. R. Meek. ARRESTED IN EwMira, N. Y.—P. C. Smith and C. F. Thomas, the two men who two weeks ago hired a borse and rig from liveryman Dake, of Altoona, drove the animal as far as Dr. Hayes’ home on the state road where it died from being over driven, who there deserted it and ekipped the country, were arrested in Elmira, N. Y., last Saturday. From here the men went to Montgomery, near Williamsport, where it is alleged they hired a horse and driving to the country sold it. Is is then claimed they went to Towanda and repeat- ed the offense after which they separated, one going to Elmira and tte other to La- porte where he was joined by a woman, the two then proceeding to Elmira. In that place they were recognized by a liv. eryman from telegraphic descriptions which had preceded them and the Elmira police being notified their arrest followed. Inasmuch as the Williamsport police bad warrants for the arrest of the men on the charge of grand larceny and were first to secure requisition papers, the Altoona au- thorities waived their prior claim and al- lowed them to be taken to Williamsport for trial. Court HOUSE IMPROVEMENTS START- ED.—R. B. Taylor, who bas she contract for digging ous the foundation for the new addition to the Centre connty court house, began work on Monday morning with a forse of men making the excavation. The lavatories in the rear of the court house have been torn away and part of the high stone wall. The men are now dewn on solid rock and as the excavation is to be fitteen feet deep the contractor bas a big job in front of him. Fortunately the rook so far is in comparatively loose stratas and will not be very hard to blast out. ~The Methodist congregation at State College are planning to erect a new twenty thousand dollar charoh. 0p Sunday Mis.

The musio, the pic- tures, the comfortable seating, and above all the safety, with everything for the pleasure of its patrons. You should by all means be there this coming Saturday. A program of special merit. Alone, the beautilol music by Christy Smith’s orches- tra would be worth five times the price of admission. Don's fail to visit the opera house each Satarday nighs. —The trout fishing season came to an end last Saturday and consequently flsh stories bave been relegated to the past. But now comes the report that game will be unusually plentiful this fall and that hun- ters will not lack for game. This will be very welcome news to the nimrods because last year most of them huanted in vain. Squirrel, is is claimed are more plentiful than they have been in years and rabbits and pheasants will also be namerons. It is also reported that more deer have been seen on the mountains this summer than at any time in years aod the indications are that hunters will find good sport when the season opens. Si ——— fp -—There is no place in Bellefonte where you can spend a more pleasant half hour every evening than just at the Saenio. The room is always kep:s clean and cool aod the entertainment of moving piotares and the illastrated songs by W. G. Laye constitute a program par excellence,so that the patrons thereof can always be assured of the best there is on the market. Work was begun on Wednesday on patting 8 new steel ceiling in the room which, when completed will not only add to the artistio effect bat will render it more safe and ee- cure than formerly. The work of putiing on the ceiling will not interfere with the entertainments in the least, and every night there will be a show as usual. —Landlord H. 8, Ray bas adopted a novel scheme for advertising his botel, the Brockerhoff house. On the Nittany valley road, ous the pike to Pleasant Gap and down through Mileshurg and up the Bald Eagle valley he bas bad erected mile posts numbered from one to five and to the au- tomobilist coming to Bellefonte the signs read “five miles to the Brockerhoff house,” “four miles to the Brockerhoff house'’ and on down to the one mile poss. These posts not only call attention so the above hotel but to the stranger touring the country they will tell just how near he is to Belle. fonte when he strikes the five mile radius. And thas there are plenty of antomobilists touring these days is shown in the fact that seven oar loads spent last Friday night in Bellefonte while six or seven car loads were in Bellefonte for dinner on Sanday. HAYES RUN FIRE BRICK PLANT BURN. ED.—The big plant of the Hayes Run Fire Brick company at Orvis, this county, was almost wiped out of existence by fire last Thureday night. The fire started in the main building, aud it is supposed from a hot box on the main driving shaft, abont midnight and burned so rapidly that in- side of twenty minutes she roof fell in and the big building was doomed. Io the main building, which was 70x508 feet in size, was a big Boyd dry press machine, two wet and one dry pan, a number of hand presses and wheelbarrows, several thousand shape brick and about forty thousand green brick, all of which were destroyed. The pattern shop was also burned but moss of the patterns saved. The mould house was burned and part of the tipple. The en- gine room was burned and the big engine badly damaged though the boilers were not hurt in the least. The dynamo used to furnish electric light for the plans as well as residents of Orvis, was ruined and a pumber of mine cars burned. Fortunate: ly the stock house, storage sheds and kilos were not damaged. The entire loss is placed at $60,000, with about $40,000 in- surance. Judge Ellis L. Orvis is president of the company acd a number of Bellefonters and Centre countians are stookholders. The plant had just gotten rightly etarted since the recent eevere business depression and was turning ous brick at the rate of forty thousand per day. A meeting of the board of directors was held in Lock Haven on Monday aod it was decided to go ahead at once on rebuild: ing the plant. It was farther decided to build It of brick and structual steel so as to make it as pear as possible fireproof That portion of the building used as the main operating room and the engine house will be erected first 80 as to enable the plant to be put in operation at the earliest possible date, as the company has a mum- ber of good orders booked which they want to fill on time. Alter that they will com- plete the building as they need the room and are in a positien to do so. For THE BusiNess Mex's PioNic.— There was a very good attendance of the executive committee of the Centre—Clinton Business Men's Picnic association as the meetiog held at the Bash hoose last Fri- day afternoon and evening to complete the arrangements for the thirteenth annual picnic to be held at Heola park Tuesday, August 24th, and about all that remains to be done now is to burrah for the big time. The particular business of lass Friday's meeting was to bear the reports of the var- ious committees appointed at the prelimi. vary meeting three weeks ago. John D. Sourbeck, of the amusement committee, could not submis a full report but stated that they would have a full list of amuse- ments for pionio day ; that the officers of the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A. had agreed to arrange for various races, etc., and that a good program was assured. John J. Bower, of the same committee, announced thas the ueual annual shoot between the good shots of Centre and Clinton county would be held. Hard P. Harris, of the music committee, announced that the Repasz band, of Wil. liamsport bad been engaged for the day, a fact which seemed to give general satistao- Sion. The committee on general manage- ment of the grounds, eto., announced that everything would be pus inthe best of condition so that those attending she pie- nic would be assured of not only a good time but of every comfort and convenience thas is is possible to give. The committee having in charge the mat- ter of arrangiog for one or two of the Cen- tral Pennsylvania league ball games for that day were instrooted to confer with the joint management of the Bellefonte and Look Haven teams to see what arrange- ment could be made. All the parties met in Lock Haven on Monday and the base- ball officials declined to accept the amount offered them for the game. The proposi- tion they made to the picnic management was that the gate receipts to the ball game should be evenly divided, one-third going to each team and one-third to the pionio fund ; or in lien of that the teams demand- ed $125 each. At this writing the matter bas not been settied in anyway. The business of the meeting finished the members of the committee presents were ushered into the dining room where they were served with a most appetizing dinner and it must be confessed that every man present did his best in bearing testimony to tLe general excellence of the culinary department of the Bush house. After din- ner the members enjoyed several hours of sooial intercourse and at 10.30 o'clock the Clinton county contingent leté Bellefonte on a special train over the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania, and now its up to every business man in Centre and Clinton coun- ties to work for the success of this year’s picaie. Piz tv Brow SHOR LANs iit, the coal operator and hotel man of Snow Shoe, was in town on Tuesday. He didn’s seem scorched by the fire that came near destroying his hotel Sunday morning, bus said he was pretty badly scared for awhile. It started in W. C. Sogder’s office from some unknown cause and bad eaten well into the partitions before is was discovered, 80 that between the fire itself and the chopping that had to be done to get at it there was considerable destruction to the famous old hostlery. One encouraging feature of the confla- gration was the demonstration of the splendid water supply and pressure they bave at Snow Shoe. rr Ap pf — TEACHERS ELECTED. —At a special meet- ing of the Bellefonte school board on Mon- day evening O:car Irvin Noll,of Milesburg, and Miss Rose Fauble, of this place, were elected as assistant teachers in the High school. Mr. Noll is a graduate of The Pennsylvania State College class of "08 and last winter was principal of the Pleasant Gap echools. Miss Fauble is a graduate of Dickinson college and last school season was a substitute teacher in the Bellefonte schools. Both she and Mr. Noll are well qualified for teachers in the High school and will add efficiency to the corps of in- struotors. The above selection completes the list of Bellefonte teachers for the en- suing year. NOTICE 70 PATRONS OF THE ACADEMY. —Mr. James R. Hoghes desires to an- nounce that beginning with September, 1910, all pupils who have received their foundation edocation at the Bellefonte Academy, but bave gone to other schools to continue their education, will be charg- ed at the rate of $125.00 per annum if they return to the Academy for futare work. ———— A —— ~The Leathers brothers, real estate dealers at State College, will bave a public sale of building lots in thas thriving bor- ough on Saturday, August 14sh, at one o'clock in the afternoon.
