An organiza- THIRD PARTY MEN ORGANIZE. —On Wed- | nesday morning twelve or fifteen repre- room in Crider’s Exchange for the pur- pose of forming a Third party organiza- ; prt Bellefonte met in a tion was effected by Hammon Sechler be- ing elected chairman and G. R. Spigel- myer secretary. D. F. Fortney made a brief speech and explained that the object of the meeting and the independent movement was an emphatic protest against the nominees of both the Democratic and Republican par- ties. Mr. Sechler said that both the old party conventions were dominated by one man and that the time had arrived when it was absolutely necessary to have anin- dependent ticket that the honest voters of the State could support gladly. A. A. Dale Esq., stated that the Third party movement would have his hearty co- operation. Rev. C. C. Shuey stated that he was very glad to have an opportunity to support an independent candidate for Governor. The most encouraging words were from Mitchell I. Gardner who stated that he had interviewed many representa- tive citizens in different parts of the county and found them very strongly. in favor of an independent movement. W. Miles Walker was unanimously elected a delegate to represent Centre county in the convention held in Phil- adelphia yesterday and, while the meet- ing did not put itself on record as favor- ing any man Mr. Walker was requested “to support the strongest and best ¢andi- date for Governor and to distribute the ticket as equally as possible between the two dominant parties,” after which the gathering adjourned to meet again at the call of the chairman. Those present included Hammon Sech- ler, G. R. Spigelmyer, D. F. Fortney Esq., W. Miles Walker, M. I. Gardner, Dr. M. A. Kirk, A. A. Dale Esq, D. W. Wood- ring, Rev. C. C. Shuey, L. A. Schaeffer and several others. After the meeting Mr. Spigelmyer expressed the belief that it would be no trouble enlisting hundreds of voters in Centre county in support of the independent movement. ON THE DIAMOND.—Bellefonte has a good baseball team, in fact it is about the second best in the Mountain league, but it is not quite good enough to down Osceola. The latter continues holding first place in the league and there is every likelihood of them holding that position to the end, unless Bellefonte makes a sur- prising spurt. The players composing the home team have it in them, but it re- quires the best possible work, with no errors. - Since the WATCHMAN was issued last week, up until Wednesday evening, Bellefonte played four games and broke even on the score. Last Friday they de- feated Philipsburg on the home ground by the score of 1 to 0. Monday they downed Osceola 2 to 1 and Tuesday and Wednesday lost to the latter team by the scores of 3 to 2 and 6 to 2. They played at Philipsburg yesterday but the score had not been received up to the time of going to press. Philipsburg has strengthened her team considerably and they promise to be a factor in the struggle for the pennant. A schedule for the ensuing two weeks was arranged yesterday but has not yet been made public and we are unable to an- nounce the dates for the next home games. But whenever they are turn out and give the boys better support. They are easily within reach of the pennant and a little more encouragement may do wonders. The standing of the clubs to date is as follows: Won Lost P.C. one... Philipsburg... WORK PROGRESSING AT COURT HOUSE, —The concrete walks, walls, steps, etc.. around the court house have been com- pleted and the surroundings have begun to assume a somewhat finished appear- ance. This week the first coat of plaster was put on the exterior of the old build- ing and by the end of another week it will be ready for the painters. When that work is finished and the scaffolding removed the only thing to do on the sur- roundings will be a little grading and sod- ding in the rear of the court house. Inside the marble tile has all been laid in the lower corridor and most of the marble wainscoting is up. The marble is being put on the front stairways and when these are completed the laying of the tile and setting of the wainscoting in the lobby outside the court room will practically complete the marble work. The plumbers are now equipping the va- rious toilet rooms and there is still con- siderable painting to do in finishing some of the offices, but this can be done ina week or two at most. The carpenters have not yet put up the rear porch and the front entrance has not been changed but at that, the entire building will un- doubtedly be completed and all the dirt cleaned away by the time tor holding the next term of court. ———— A —— LIGHTNING KiLLs CATTLE.—During the hard thunder storm last Saturday after- noon a herd of eleven cattle took refuge under a walnut tree on the g farm near Pennsylvania Furnace, and w is ning struck the tree and seven milk and the ‘blooded Mr. McWilliams is quite a heavy one. -—Among the touring automobilists who passed through Bellefonte last week was Mrs. C.

W. Fred Reynolds has receiv- ed three car loads of baskets in which to market his large peach crop this year and it is hardly likely this quantity will be enough. It will not be many weeks now until the earlier varieties will be ready for market. Peaches will likely be cheap this year as they are reported as being very plentiful all over the State. —Dr. VanValzah Foster, who for some time past has been taking care of the practice of Dr. P. Hoffer Dale, at Centre Hall, last week received notice that he had successfully passed the exam- ination before the state examining board and could legally practice his profession for himself. He will now go to house- keeping in Centre Hall and hang out his own shingle. ——Dr. A. W. Hafer is perhaps one of the most up-to-date fruit growers in Belle- fonte and one thing nice about him is that he always takes a sample around among his friends; and this accounts for the fact of his leaving a few of his splendid Burbank plums at the WATCHMAN office on Monday morning. They were perfect specimens and just as delicious as they were nice looking. —Most of the farmers throughout the county have completed their harvest- ing and hauling in of grain and the hum of the thresher has already been heard at a number of barns. In fact some farm- ers are threshing their crop as it ishauled from the field, as their barns are so filled with the hay crop that they have not the room to store their grain until later in the season. So far as heard from the wheat yield is a fair one and of good quality. ——The Pennsylvania telephone com- pany has had a force of men at work in Bellefonte and throughout the county stringing new lines and cables so as to improve their service. On Monday a big two inch cable was strung from the ex- change in Bush Arcade up High street, The new lines are rendered necessary be- cause of the ever-increasing number of rural lines with their large number of subscribers, all of whom are connected with the various exchanges. —Almost at the tail end of the trout fishing season, or last Friday evening to be exact, Lew McQuistion took his rod and line and went up in the vicinity of the match factory to try his luck, and verily it must have been his lucky day for he succeeded in landing three nice ones, one seventeen inches long, one twelve inches and a salmon trout which measured fourteen inches. One of the catch he presented to the senior editor of the WATCHMAN. On Monday morning T. Clayton Brown landed a nice twelve inch brook trout out near the falls and this he very generously presented to another member of the WATCHMAN force. ——Contractor R. B. Taylor has in" creased his force of workmen on the state road through Bellefonte and is now making better headway than heretofore. The crushed stone are all on and have been rolled from the borough line to Rhoads’ corner and the asphalt covering on that portion will soon be completed. A gang of men with teams are now put- ting the stone on Linn street and another gang is at work grading Allegheny street, The work has not been pushed as fast as it ought to be but at that the road will likely be completed up to the point where the brick paving will begin before the borough authorities, gas and steam heat company has that conduit built in which to run the various pipes and wires under- ground. —Tobias Wetzel, of Nittany valley, is not able to contradict Dr. Surface in his allegation that snakes cannot climb a tree but he has the strongest kind of tes- timony as to the squeezing capacity of a blacksnake. He was working in the har- vest field a few days ago and came across a huge blacksnake. Naturally he attempt- ed to kill it and the reptile at once gave fight. In the mixup that followed the snake coiled itself around one of Mr. Wetzel's legs and squeezed it hard enough to stop the circulation so that the leg became numb and Mr. Wetzel faint and it was only through the com- bined efforts of himself and two dogs who went to his rescue that the snake was torn loose from his leg and finally killed. The reptile made no attempt to bite so that Mr. Wetzel was uninjured, though he has no desire to undergo another such enter into any such agreement or liabili- | ty to pay for such schooling, inasmuch as | they had established a High school at | Pleasant Gap, and by acceding to the de- | mands of the petitioners the usefulness ' of their own High school would be de- | stroyed. They declared that in estab- | lishing the High school at Pleasant Gap | they tock into consideration the fact that | they had a building there suitable for | High school purposes and that it was lo- | cated advantageously for the largest num- | ber of pupils in the district who were | ready for High school training. After | hearing all the testimony Judge Orvis rendered a decision making the rule ab- solute and from this decision the school district took an appeal to the Superior court. In reversing Judge Orvis the Superior | court, after discussing the question of | the discretion of the school directors of a district in establishing and locating a High school, declared “that there was no statute pointed out to them authorizing the court of quarter sessions to compel, by a direct proceeding, the directors of one district to make a contract with the directors of another district, such as was decreed in this case, and the order is re- versed and the whole proceedings dis- missed.” The effect of the above will be of vital | interest to the residents of Spring town- ship living contiguous to Bellefonte. Here- tofore those so desiring have been send- ing their children to the Bellefonte High school and the tuition and other expenses were paid by the Spring township school board. After establishing a High school of their own the board refused to pay such tuition and expenses, which resulted in the above case. The result now is that any person living near Bellefonte desirous of sending their children to a High school must send them to the one at Pleasant Gap or be personally responsible for all expenses of sending them to the Belle- fonte High school. What this means can very easily be imagined. AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.—The sec- ond quarterly meeting services in the Methodist Episcopal church will be held on Sunday. Sunday school will be held in the morning at 9.30 o'clock. At 10.45 o'clock the baptism of infants will take place which will be followed by the holy communion and reception of members. We are reliably informed that quite a number will be taken into full member- ship. Epworth League will be at 6.30 and preaching at 7.20 py the pastor, Dr. T. S. Wilcox. The public is cordiallly invited. CALHOUN—NICHOLSON.—George A. Cal- houn, of Philipsburg, and Miss Annie L. Nicholson, were married on Wednesday of last week at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Nicholson, of Barnesboro. Rev. George L. Camp performed the ceremony in the presence of quite a number of guests. The young couple will go to housekeeping in Pitts- burg where Mr. Calhoun has a good posi- tion. MILLER-PACINL—A quiet wedding last Saturday afternoon was that of Louis A. Miller, of Williamsport, and Miss Mary Pacini, of this place, which took place at the parish house of St. John's Catholic church, Rev. Father McArdle officiating. The young couple left on the evening train for Williamsport where they at once went to housekeeping. ~The old town clock which has just been replaced with a new one did good service during the years it tolled out the minutes and hours from the court house belfry, and just how long a time this has been no one in Bellefonte appears to know definitely. Frank P. Blair puts the time of its erection in either the year 1852 or 1854, while others give it as either 1856 or 1857. But in either event it was in serv- ice over half a century and if the new one which has just been installed serves the same length of time a very large number of us will not have to be assessed to in- stall its successor. ————— A —————— ——Last Thursday afternoon Dr. W. U. Irwin, of Unionville, went up to Julian on a professional trip. In the automobile with him were his son Boyd and a nephew and on the return trip home the rear wheels of the car slipped on the muddy road and the machine went down over the embankment and landed on its side.

And he is not backward in confessing that he was glad to get back home where there is a climate fit to livein. Mrs. Callaway stopped off en route from New York tovisit friends a few days before re- turning home. —Last Thursday afternoon E. C. Tuten, W, Francis Speer and Edward L. Gates went downto Lock Haven to take in the various attractions of the Johnny Jones carnival. When they reached that city they discovered that the show was only open in the evening. Naturally their time was limited and after witnessing the free rope-walk- ing exhibition they gazed so long at the tattooed girl, or some other one, that they missed the 7.40 p. m. trolley for Mill Hall, and the next car they took was blocked near Flemington by a break in the trolley wires. The result was the trio had to hike it to Mill Hall or remain over night and as they had only eight minutes in which to cover over a mile they had to do some tall sprinting. Thetrainon the Central Railroad of Pennsylva- nia haprened to be a few minutes late which ena- bled the Bellefonters to get to the station in time, but they were a badly winded and wilted bunch as they climbed into the car for their trip home. and Miss Johnston, of Spring street. ~Mrs. C.
