RH ere eames ———————————————" on Tuesday for WHAT THE BoroucH Daps Dm.—' member was present at Monday | night's meeting of borough council and | Samuel B. Miller was present and ask ed for a reduction of water tax assessed ferred to the Water committee for inves- tigation and report. A communication was received from the Tyrone borough council announcing the election of J. A. Atlee as an auditor | of the Pruner orphanage accounts. | A communication was also received Tyrone, making complaint that the Steam Heating company in making repairs to their pipes had dug up the brick paving | on High street and did not replace it properly. The matter was referred to the Street committee. A report from the boiler inspector was read showing that the boilers at the wa- | ter works had been inspected and found in good condition. None of the standing committees had anything of special importance to report. Under the head of old business the agreement with the State Highway De- partment for the building of the state road through Bellefonte was taken up. Regarding the paving of the Diamond and Ailegheny street from Pike alley to Bishop street with brick the borough so- licitor reported that the property owners along that section had been seen and all signed the agreement to pay their share of the cost of paving with the exception of Dr. Roland G. Curtin, the county com- missioners, the First National bank and the Thomas R. Reynolds estate. The es- timated cost to the citizens will be about $2,100, and to the borough $2,800. The borough solicitor further stated that he expected to enter into an agreement this week with the parties at the head of the Centre County Traction company where- by they would put down their track at the time the road is built, and as their charter calls for them to pave ten feet in width, this would naturally give the bor- ough a big rebate on the above estimate. Dr. Kirk objected tc the proposition on account of the cost and because he "did not believe in fixing up the streets in that part of town at the expense of the oth- ers,” but on a vote of council the presi- dent and secretary were instructed to sign the agreement, Dr. Kirk being the only one to vote against it. Regarding the complaint of Isaac Mil- ler, at the last meeting of council, that owing to the filling up of Wilson street the water was run down over his proper- ty, the Street committee reported that they failed to find any just cause for com- plaint. A resolution was introduced by Mr. Musser and passed by council in effect that an order for three dollars be drawn in favor of J. H. Lingle which was to be paid him upon signing a receipt in full for all accounts to and including March 19th. Mr. Keller, of the Finance committee, asked for the renewal of the following notes: One for $5,000 in favor of Daniel Hall; one for $2,000 in favor of F. W. Cri- der; one for $1,200 in favor of Oscar Wetzel; one for $2,000 in favor of Mrs Harrison Kline and one for $4,000 to be discounted at Bellefonte Trust company to pay current expenses. Same was or- dered by council. The Pennsylvania railroad company asked permission to locate a watchman’s box at the crossing near the Yeager swing factory. The street committee was instructed to give proper location for same. Sigmund Joseph was reappointed a di- rector of the Pruner orphanage for the ensuing two years, after which bills to the amount of $351.20 were approved and council adjourned after being in session just fifty minutes. mt A nam. THE BEN GREET PLAYERS.—The people of Bellefonte and vicinity who saw these players at State College last year in “The Merchant of Venice” and “Macbeth” will doubtless welcome the announcement of a return visit by the company on Sat- urday, April 9th. This year the com- pany will present two of Shakespeare's most delightful comedies, “Twelfth Night” in the afternoon, and “A Mid-summer Night's Dream” in the evening. At both of these performances the auditorium stage will be decorated with fresh green foliage so as to give as much as possible an out-of-door effect. Of special interest to lovers of music will be the announce- ment that the college orchestra will play the exquisite Mendelssohn score in the evening, giving the complete program, the overture, and all the incidental music to “A Mid-summer Night's Dream.” Ar- rangements have been made for special trains between Bellefonte and State Col- lege for both afternoon and evening per- formances. Tickets and all information regarding trains may be had at Parrish’s drug store beginning Saturday, April 2nd. Junior PRELIMINARIES. —Fifteen mem- bers of the Junior class of the Bellefonte —The Young People’s Society Christ- jan Endeavor of the Milesburg Presby- terian church will hold a social at the offering will be accepted during the even- ing. ——Miss Lillian Muffly, who has been at the Renovo hospital while the DuBois hospital was being repaired of the damage it sustained by fire last fall, has returned to the latter institution and is arranging the building for hospital purposes. She will hold the position of head nurse and be in charge of the training department of the remodeled institution. ——The third annual reunion of the Fifth regiment Spanish-American war veterans will this year be held at Indiana on Wednesday and Thursday, April 27th and 28th. The association was organized in Altoona two years ago and last year's reunion was held in Huntingdon. Col. H. S. Taylor and several other Bellefonte soldiers are members of the association. ——Mrs. Becker and Miss Elizabeth Brugger, daughters of the late Samuel Brugger Esq, of Unionville, and who last summer made such a success of the St. James Place and the Beach, Atlantic City, have taken the hotel for another year and are now prepared to welcome and care for any of their old friends who may feel like making an early trip to this popular sea-side resort. RE —— ——William McFarlane, who fell from an electric light pole last Wednesday afternoon and injured his back so that he was taken to the Bellefonte hospital for treatment, was able to leave that in- stitution on Saturday and return to Phil- ip Beezers where he boards. He is now almost as fit as ever and doing light work for the company, though he will likely feel the kinks of his fall for some time to come. ——Charles E. Yearick, of Pennsvalley, recently sold his last season's hay crop, fifty tons, to L. L. Smith, at Centre Hall; the price received being nineteen dollars a ton delivered on the cars at that sta. tion. Mr. Yearick would thus receive $950 for his grass crop alone for last year and if he was fortunate enough to have raised hogs and chickens he will have no reason to envy any ordinary man’s in- come. —Almost thirty-five years ago, or on July 2nd, 1875, Mrs. Mary Still, of Blanch- ard, this county, mailed a letter to ‘her stepson, Jerry Faust, at Pittsburg, Pa. Faust had left Pittsburg several: years previous and the letter was not delivered to him until Tuesday of last week when it reached him in El Paso, Tex., where he is employed by the Southern Pacific rail- road company. Where the letter has been all the intervening time is a mystery. Mrs. Still, by the way, has been dead over fifteen years. DO — ——Several weeks ago L. A. Freeman, who the past year was employed as operator in the office of T. S. Strawn, broker, accepted an offer of A. H. Drake, of Pittsburg, to go to Cambridge Springs and take charge of an office there. He did so and is so well satisfied with his position that on Monday he telegraphed for his wife, who prior to her marriage was Miss Myrtle Longacre, and on Tues- day she went out to join him. They will notgo to housekeeping, however, for a month or so, at least. ——At noon on Monday of next week Miss Alice May Robison, daughter of H. L. Robison, formerly of Centre Hall but now of Milesburg, will be married to Dr. L. H. Harley, of Williamstown, N. J. About thirty intimate friends have been invited to witness the ceremony which will take place in the Milesburg Presby- terian church and be performed by Dr. W. H. Schuyler, of Centre Hall. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Harley will be driven directto the depot and leave on the train east for their New Jersey home. ec GA ——The postmaster at DuBois, Clearfield county,must be a very busy chap—or else an exceedingly lazy one. Were henot we he would notify a newspaper of the new address of a subscriber moving out of his delivery, as he is expected to do by the Department and for which it furnishes him a card, in place of writing the single word “gone.” Whenever a public official has too much of his or other people's business to attend to, to properly perform the duties for which he is paid, out of the public treasury, it is time for leave of absence without pay to be granted ——In another column of today's WATCHMAN will be found the advertise- ment of the Bellefonte Foundry & Machine Co., salesagents for “The Advance" gaso- line engine manufactured by the Henry, Millard & Henry Co., of York. The engines manufactured by this firm have on the market and the fact that they are all guaranteed for one year is evidence that the manufacturers have confidence in their own product. It might be further stated that both the senior and junior for improvements on the parsonage and $102 on the church; Gray’s church, $225; Howard, $125; Milesburg and Unionville, Centre and Sandy Ridge, 40; Halfmoon, 71; Milesburg and Unionville, 82; Phil- ipsburg, 20; Port Matilda, 87; Snow Shoe, 84, and State College, 40. Special mention was made of the necessity of a new church at State College as follows: State College: The town has had a boom this year. Many new houses have been erected. Scores of building lots have been sold. There are over 1,300 students in the College. About 300 of these are from Methodist homes. We hav@no room for them and for scores of others who would naturally come to our church if we could properly accommodate them. We must have, we are going to have, a new church building in State College. Plans and spec- ifications are in the hands of contractors for bids. The work will likely begin next month. The building complete will cost $30,000. The heroic members have pledg- $10,000. They will probably give $5,000 more. The board of church extension will give at least $5,000 perhaps $7,000. So that from 8,000 to $16,000 must be raised outside of State College. Every preacher and every layman in this conference should be interested in this movement and, so far as possible, help to make it succeed. It is agreat and growing opportunity we have at State College, to reach with the Gospel hundreds of choice young men who in a few years are to be centres of mighty influence. Brethren, take this en- terprise on your heart and make it your own. At Saturday's session of conference David A. Sower, who preached at Pleas- ant Gap last year, was advanced from the first to the second year studies. On Sun- day members of the conference filled ali the churches in York and thousands at- tended the services. One of the interesting questions before the conference was the increasing of the number of districts from five to six. The committee of ministers and laymen ap- pointed to inquire into the matter report: edin favor of an additional district, pro- viding there would be no additional assessment for the support of the addi- tional district superintendent. This natur- ally brought forth protests from the pres- ent district superintendents, who objected to any reduction in their salaries, and the result was the proposition was voted down. Conference voted to restore the three years term as the maximum time a min- ister can serve one congregation instead of five years as it hasbeen for some time At Saturday morning's session of con- ference the Rev. Emory M. Stevens, su- perintendent of the Williamsport district, extended an invitation on behalf of the official board of the Pine street church to hold the conference of 1912 in that church, on condition that the conference of 1911 confirm the action. The invitation was unanimously accepted. The invitation of the Bloomsburg Methodist church to hold the 1911 conference in Bloomsburg was accepted with thanks by a standing vote. The one interesting thing at the closing session of conference on Tuesday was the case of Rev. C. V. Hartzell, of Harrisburg, who was before the conference on the charge of engaging in secular work in addition to filling a church appointment, he holding a clerkship under factory in- spector John C. Delaney. The committee on conference relations in their report re- quested that Rev. Hartzell should ask to be placed on the supernumerary list. This he refused to do and so earnestly did he plead his own case before the con- ference that it was voted to reject the report of the committee. Rev. Hartzell's relations therefore remain the same as before. : It was five o'clock on Tuesday evening when the appointments were read and those for the Altoona district are as fol- lows: the reputation of being among the best Lum members of the manufacturing firm, the | Epllipsburg~ NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Mr. and Mrs. T.
