;
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:

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.

——Col. 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.

——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

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.

nia haprened to be a few minutes late which ena-
