New CoMPANY FORMED.—A new cor- poration to be known as the General Re- fractories company was organized last week and this week took over the Sandy Ridge fire brick works, which for some time past has been successfully operated by D.Ross Wynn and J. H. France, of Philipsburg. The main offices of the com- pany will bein New York city and the officers are: President, D. Ross Wynn, Philipsburg; general manager, James H. treasurer, W.

Mr. Brown disposed of the business in order to give his entire attention to the management of the Scen- ic. Then in addition, his health has not been the best the past year and he did not want to run the risk of endangering it further by the close confinement en: tailed in conducting the business. go over the Seven mountains to Lewis- town to attend the public meeting to be held in the interest of improving and pro- viding for the maintenance of the road through the Lewistown Narrows. And while the Bellefonte autoists are there they expect to bring to the attention of the Mifflin county authorities the condi- tion of their side of the Seven mountains, which is much worse than the Centre county side. —Some of these days when they see the cars running some of the skeptic peo- ple in Bellefonte will awaken to the fact that it was no joke when the Centre County Traction company said they would put down a trolley line between State College and Milesburg.

The visiting team will be composed of the best players at the college outside of the ‘Varsity nine and naturally will bea strong aggregation, so that the contest promises to be one of unusual interest. Game will be called at three o'clock and the people of the town are urged to at- tend. It is an obligation you owe the Academy to support its team, and in ad- dition you are assured of seeing a good game of ball. Wake up, and take an in- terest in the game. GRP = commen HiGH ScHooL COMMENCEMENT.— The annua! commencement exercises of the Bellégonte High school will be held this year May 29th to June 2nd, inclusive. The baccalaureate sermon will be preached by Rer. Thomas S. Wilcox, in the Methodist church, on Sunday evening, May 29th. On Monday evening, May 30th, the Junior oratorical contest will be held in the hall in the new High school building. The regular alumni reception to the grad- uating class will be given in the armory on Tuesday evening, May 31st, and the commencement exercises proper will be held in the new High school building on Thursday afternoon and evening, June 2nd. The class orations will be in the after- noon and in the evening the commence- ment address will be delivered by Rev. Dr. Madison C. Peters, of Brooklyn. The graduating class this year is composed of twenty-two students, and after consid- erable controversy they have decided to wear caps and gowns. STATE COLLEGE BUILDING BooM.—Dur- ing the summer of 1908 thirty-two new houses were built in the borough of State College. Last summer the number was forty-seven and so far this year arrange- nents have been made and many of the contracts let for the erection of forty-two more. In addition contracts have been made for putting down in front of old properties of upwards of ten thousand dollars worth of concrete pavements. It may doubtless be a matter of wonder- ment to many why this building boom is so extensive and without any apparent let-up. Some of it is naturally to meet the demands of the increased student body for rooms and boarding; but in ad- dition many families, who have children to educate and can afford to do so, have the State and taken up their residence there. And this demand for houses is increasing right along. ACCIDENT ON RAILROAD.—Last Satur- day morning Charles Poorman, a brake- man on the Bellefonte Central railroad, fell from his train at the Scales, was run over and had both legs so badly crushed that they had to be amputated. He was standing on top of 2a box car while the train was backing up for the purpose of weighing a carload of stone when he evi- dently became dizzy and pitched head first down between the cars. He struck the bumpers and while his body was thrown to one side his legs fell across the track and one car passed over them. The accident was witnessed by another em- ployee and the train stopped and Poor- man rescued, after which he was hurried to the hospital where his left leg was am- putated above the knee and the right one below the knee. He is now getting along all right, with chances favorable for his recovery. Poorman was the only sup- port of his widowed mother and his acci- dent and crippling for life is a very unfor- tunate affair. which they believe will make it a paying | moved to the College from other parts of | dred and fifty dollars. lege, a state chemist in the pure food de- plaint had been made to him that Mr. | Brouse was selling oleo colored like but- | ter and in pursuance of such complaint he came to Bellefonte on March 29th and | going to Brouse's store asked the clerk for two pounds of butter. He was in- | Jormad that they had viobutter and point | ing to a box in the window asked what it | contained. The answer was oleomarga- rine and he bought two pounds of it. He labled and stamped it in the presence of | the clerk, took it to the hotel and put it | in a cigar box which was placed under’ | seal and the same morning sent it to Dr. | Frear, at State College, for analysis. | Dr. Frear testified to having received | the oleomargarine and exhibited the wrap- per it was received in as well as a sample of the stuff. His direct examination was | brief but upon cross-examination he explained at great length the vari- ous tests made in his analysis of the product. Four tests were made to prove that it was oleomargarine, a fact that was not in controversy, and three tests to discover, if possible, if it were artificially colored. The first test was a search for any vegetable coloring matter and the doctorstated positively that none was found. The second was for the present of mineral coloring matter, such as coal tar dye, etc., and none of this was found. The third and last test was for the presence of cottonseed oil, and while Dr. Frear would not be qualified that such oil had been used he stated that he found in this test, after the oleo had been subjected to a prolonged mol- ten process, a discoloration such as is characterized in the color of the average cottonseed oil for table use; and it was his belief that it was the result of the use of a small per cent. of the oil. The doctor, however, stated that there was an oleo oil, made from the loin or kidney tallow of Channel Island cattle which was almost blood red and which used in the manufacture of oleo will impart a deep yellow color. Mr. Blanchard asked Dr. Frear wheth- er in his judgment the sample of oleo would come under the ban of the Federal pure food law and he stated very unre- servedly that it would not. The whole case, therefore, hitches on the clause in the oleomargarine law “made or colored 50 as to resemble or be in imitation of yel- low butter.” It was at the conclusion of Dr. Frear’s testimony that Mr. Blanchard remarked to justice Musser that they were willing to have the matter heard before the court and gave bond for appearance when the case is called. It was not divulged dur- ing the hearing who made the complaint upon which Mr. Banzhoff stated this action was taken by him. OPENING OF TROUT FISHING SEASON.— Not in years has the weather been so au- spicious and the condition of the streams so favorable for the opening of the trout fishing season as they were last Friday morning and the result was a general ex- odus of every man who owned a rod and line to the nearby and more distant streams. While the aggregate catch was not a record-breaker it was good enough to encourage fishermen and justify the belief for a fairly good season of sport. One noticeable thing, however, was that while in numbers the catch was a good one, there were very few large ones land- ed. The biggest trout caught during the day, so far as the writer is informed, was landed by T. Clayton Brown out of Spring creek, not two hundred feet from the WATCHMAN office. It measured fourteen inches and was the biggest one of five making up his day’s catch. A number of twelve inch trout were caught but the majority of them were from seven to , nine and ten inches in length. The record catch for the day was made by William Walker. The only fisherman on upper Spring creek he had the luck to ‘land 37 trout and supplemented this ! catch with 15 on Saturday. W. L. Malin iwas on Logan branch and came home {with 27; J. R. Basch, of Philadelphia, the man who put the show window in Montgomery & Co's store, fished from Bellefonte to Axe Mann and caught 19. Down on Fishing creek D. Benton Tate caught 21, George Knisely 18, George R. | Meek 16, Henry C. Quigley 16, John | Nighthart 8. George Beezer, Robert Fos- ter and Frank Clemson spent a half day yet op in regard to the situation. The prospects in Bellefonte are very support. As a starter the association has secured the State College orchestra for a concert in the opera house on Friday evening of next week, April 29th, and if you are at all interested in baseball and the movement for a team this summer you can help it along by attending. And aside from this feature you can take our word for it that you will hear a concert of very high musical standard. The or- chestra is composed of thirty-four stu- Zants and they have been drilled by an ' experienced leader so that they are ex- ceptionally good. Friday evening of next week is the time they will be here and you don’t want to miss them.
