morning, burial being made in the Phil-
ipsburg cemetery.

fonte last Friday and as usual began to!

rested and locked up and kept in the pen

The supposition is that when he reach-
It just happened that it was right around
the point of the curve below the fair-
grounds and when the train rounded the
curve the engineer saw the man but was
too close to him to even check the speed
of the train and he was struck and knock-
ed to the side of the road. His left side
and the left side of his head were crush-
ed and death was practically instantane-
ous. The train was stopped and the
mangled remains brought to this place
and turned over to undertaker Hard P.
Harris.
A few papers were found in the man's
pockets which gave his name but no fur-
ther information about him. It is report-
ed that on one of his visits to Bellefonte
he told the story that he had a brother
living in Canada who was quite well to
do but the authorities here could find no
trace of any relatives or friends of the
dead man anywhere. The remains were
kept at the Harris undertaking establish-
ment until Tuesday afternoon at 1.30
o'clock when they were buried in the
Union. cemetery.
HE BURGLARIZED THE DocTor.—Many
WATCHMAN readers, especially down Nit-
tany valley, very well remember George
Hoy Tibbens, who is now a doctor and
proprietor of a drug store in Wilkes-
Barre. He and his family live in a flat
over the store but last Friday night the
doctor was detained late and decided to
spend the balance of the night on a couch
in his office, which is in the rear of the
store. About two o'clock he was awak-
ened by a noise at the front door and
going into the store and turning on
the light he was dumbfou to see a
burglar hanging from the ts at the
th the aperture and evidently was
afraid to let go for fear of where he
might drop to. The doctor evidently was
about as badly scared as the burglar for |
when the latter dropped to the floor he
told him to turn the key in the door and
get out, which he did with the remark
“Thank you, Doc.” A policeman was
later notified but the man had made his
escape.
To Bub Goop RoAD OVER MOUN-
TAIN.—A movement has heen started by
the DuBois Motor club for the building
of a better road across the mountain
from the Bald Eagle valley to Philips-
burg, and the Legislature will be petition-
ed to grant an appropriation to help de-
fray the expense of same. While the
movement has been started by the Du-
Bois Motor club there is no argument
but that such a road would be of more
benefit to Centre countians than it will be
to the DuBois people and the matter nat-
urally should be boosted by the people of
Centre county. A petition has been cir-
culated in Bellefonte this week which
was very liberally signed, and which will
be presented to the Legislature asking
for the appropriation mentioned above.
The building of such a road would be of
great benefit to farmers as well as auto-
mobile drivers and they should do all
possible to help along the movement.
soe
A NIGHT IN VENICE.—The third enter-
tainment in the Y. M. C. A. star course
will be held in Petriken hall on Wednes-
day evening of next week, February 8th,
when Elbert Foland and his Italian boys
will present their musical and literary
fantasy, “A Night in Venice.” Mr. Fo-
land is one of the ablest, most brilliant
and versatile entertainers on the platform
at the present time and his quintette of
Italian boys compose a musical organiza-
tion that cannot be excelled. The usual
prices will prevail and seats should be
reserved early as they will undoubtedly
be in big demand. Remember this will
be one of the best musical entertain-
ments to be heard in Bellefonte this sea-
son.
GEORGE P. RUNKLE STILL IN COMMAND.
—The criticisms of the officers of the
schoolship Adams, which led to the ten-
dered resignation of George P. Runkle as
captain were all dismissed on Wednes-
day at a meeting of the board of direct:
ors of the Pennsylvania Nautical School
and Captain Runkle was ordered to con-
tinue in command. He was directed to
begin at once to fit the vessel out for a
summer cruise to Spitzbergen.
——Don’t forget that tree lecture by
Prof. Withers in the new High school
building next Monday evening. It will

tive as well. Remember it will be illus-
trated with about two hundred slides.

the attraction at Garman’s on Wednesday
night of next week. This will be the first
time this productidn will be given in
Bellefonte and as the company comes
here with a good recommendation a
good show is expected.
——The local teachers’ institute held
in the new High school building last Sat-
urday was very well attended by all the
teachers in this district and the program
as given in last week's WATCHMAN was
carried out in full. The visiting teachers, |
by the way, were very much impressed
with the new school building and its equip-
ment and they were given every opportu-
nity to inspect it thoroughly.

——The regular meeting of the Wom- i
an’s Club of Bellefonte will be held in
Petriken hall, Friday afternoon, February
third, at three-thirty o'clock. At this
meeting Mrs. G. G. Pond, of State College, |
will read a paper on “Juvenile Literature,” |
a subject which should be so seriously |
considered by the parents of the present |
day children, that no teacher or parent in i
Bellefonte can afford to miss hearing i
Mrs. Pond’s suggestion in this very im- |
portant matter.
—A rare treat was given the primary |
department of the Academy Friday after-
noon, when Mrs. Elizabeth Callaway took |
the children on a word picture journey !
to foreign cities which she had visited |
when on her trip around the world one !
year ago. Such a deep interest was |
manifested by the little ones that her
talk of two hours duration was only con- |
cluded satisfactorily to them when ar-
rangements had been made for the com-
pletion of the entire trip.
——The Bellefonte friends of Mr.
William Wilkins will be pleased to learn
that since leaving Bellefonte and the
superintendency of the Bellefonte Fur-
nace Co's operations, he has been going
steadily upward in his profession. Just
lately he has been made general superin-
tendent of the iron department of the
Lake Superior Iron and Chemical Co.,
with charge of six blast furnaces, mines
and pig iron sales and has headq

——Benjamin Gordon, hostler at the
Bellefonte Central round house, was bad-
ly scalded on Tuesday evening and is
now undergoing treatment in the Belle-
fonte hospital. He was cleaning out the
flues of one of the engines when one of
them sprung a leak. Before he could
get out of the way he was badly scalded
on the back and other portions of his
body by the escaping steam and water.
The ambulance was summoned to take
him to the hospital and in turning around
the tongue of the vehicle was broken and
In the
meantime the ambulance tongue has been
taken to McQuistions to be repaired.
—1If you happen to feel a little blue
the subjectsare always of such wide range
as to interest every personin attendance,
no matter who they are. As a manager
of moving picture exhibitions T. Clayton
Brown cannot be excelled and he devotes
every energy to giving the people of
Bellefonte the very best on the market.
--—Saturday and Sunday were quite
warm and spring-like and made a person
think that the backbone of winter had
been broken but it was not so. The
backbone gave a hump on Monday when
the mercury dropped way below freezing
point and the wind blew like blue blazes.
Just how terrific that is can be judged
from the fact that three telephone poles,
of the Commercial company, were blown
down in the alley back of the Hastings
barn; limbs were torn off of trees and
old fences stood no show at all. In Al-
toona and Tyrone the glass in windows
was broken by the force of the wind, In
fact, it was one of the windiest days of
the season.
——The fourth quarterly meeting serv-
ices at the Methodist church on Sunday
were exceptionally interesting and were
attended by a large congregation. Rev.
Shuey had charge of the lovefeast in the
morning at 9:30 while the pastor, Rev.
T. S. Wilcox, preached and had charge of
the administration of the holy sacrament
in the morning. The services in the
evening were in charge of Rev. Quimby
One feature of the day was the large
number taken into the church. Twenty-
four were taken into full membership,
four taken into membership by letter and
five taken on probation. Three adults
were baptised. Among those taken into
full membership were Jacob Knisely and
all but one of his children.
rman’s HosPITAL NoTEs.—Any person who |
does not think the Bellefonte hospital a!
necessary institution in this community
should have been an observer there the
past week and they would very likely
change their mind. At this writing there
are twenty-six patients in the hospital
nineteen of whom are
Among the cases admitted the past week
were the following:
| . . :
M ’ ’ i =Mnrs. C. D. Casebeer returned on Sunday
George Cox, an eleven year old boy, of | .l he
Axe Mann. He came to Bellefonte on a
load of baled hay brought here by Mr.
Shutt for delivery to McCalmont & Co.
The load was weighed and Mr. Shutt
, drove into a shed for unloading The boy
was caught between the top of the load
and the top of the doorway and had his
lip and face badly lacerated and an elbow
dislocated.
On Monday Mrs. Stanley, of Milesburg,
was admitted to the hospital with a bad-
ly affected eye, which it was found nec-
essary to remove in order to save the
sight of the other eye.
One of the most peculiar cases that has
been admitted to the hospital for some
time is that of Mrs. George Darr, of
Coleville. About two weeks ago, while
| doing the family washing, she used a
| needle to fasten her apron around her
{ waist and in lifting the washer the nee-
dle was forced into her abdomen. At the
‘time she paid little attention to it but
; now the needle has worked inward and
penetrated the abdominal wall, causing
the woman great distress. So far the
physicians have been unable to locate
the needle and Mrs. Darr’s condition is
considered quite serious.
Yesterday morning James W. Boal, a
deaf mute of Boalsburg, who has been
stopping at the Garman house the past
three weeks, left the hotel to walk down
town, slipped on the icy pavement and
fell, dislocating his hip and injuring his
arm. He was taken to the hospital
where the dislocation was reduced and
his iujuries given the proper attention.
eee
GETTING ANXI0US.—The commissioners
of Centre county are becoming some-
what anxious to have the Governor name
the day for the execution of Bert Delige,
now under sentence of death for the
murder of Mrs. John Baudis. From this
it must not be inferred that the commis-
sioners are either hard-hearted or blood-
thirsty, but they are merely considering
the heayy expense to the county of the
man’s delayed execution. It costs just
$3.40 every day to feed and guard Delige
in the county jail and this is a matter of
one hundred dollars a month. Though
the exact cost to the county of Delige's
trial and the present expenses are not
known it is estimated that when the case
is finally disposed of it will mean a drain
on the county's cash box of over two
thousand dollars.
It was the general opinion that Gov-
ernor Stuart would name the day for De-
lige's execution before going out of office
but fie did not do so, and it has since
developed that the reason he did not was
because the papers in the case had been
mislaid and the matter overlooked. Gov-
ernor Tener's attention has been called
to the case and it is likely he will name
the day in the near future.
MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR BIG DANCE.
—On account of a case of chicken-pox at
the Bellefonte Academy just before the
holiday vacation, necessitating the clos-
ing of the institution, the annual dance of
the football team had to be postponed but
the same will be held in the armory on
Thursday evening, February ninth, and
the boys are making preparations for a
big time. The committee in charge of
the decorations will do the work in con-
junction with the committee of the Civic
club, who will hold their charity ball on
Tuesday evening, February fourteenth.
The members of the football team and
many of the Academy students have in-
vited their sisters and lady friends from
home to come to Bellefonte for the dance
and so many invitations have already
been accepted that the second floor of the
fraternity house on the hill is being re-
papered and heautified and will be fitted
up especially for their entertainment
while here. This will be the first time
the Academy boys will have had the pleas-
ure of entertaining their lady friends here
and naturally they intend to make the
most of it in every way.
Her Come CAUGHT FIRE.—On Monday
night Miss Peck, of Lock Haven, the
nurse who is helping take care of Lew
McQuistion, was the victim of rather a
peculiar accident and as a result is now
nursing some bad burns on her hands.
On account of the high wind on Monday
night it was found necessary to have an
oil stove in the patient's room to keep it
comfortable. Miss Peck was reading a
book and, sitting close to the stove she
leaned down in order to get a better light
and her head coming over the opening
in the top of the stove, her celluloid
comb ignited. In order to save her hair
as well as her head from being burnt
she first attempted to smother the flames
with her hands, and finally managed to
get the burning comb out of her hair and
let it fall to the floor where it was easily
extinguished. While Miss Peck’s hair
was only slightly singed her hands were
quite badly burned.
——The tickets for “The Charity Ball”
to be held in the armory on the night of
February fourteenth, are in the hands of
fifty of the younger people of the town,
who hope to distribute them freely among
both the lovers of Bellefonte and the
lovers of a social evening, the night of
February fourteenth combining both.

ruary 13th. This in a way is news, be-
cause the club has not had a meeting of
any kind in six months, and naturally the
impression got around that it had become
defunct, but such is not the case. It still
exists though, like the groundhog, it has
been taking a long sleep, but now that
spring is approaching and the time for
motoring draws near the club gives signs
of awakening and plunging into activity
once again. At least a meeting is to be
held on the 13th—unlucky day—and all
the roads in Centre county will be gone
over (in talk) so that every member
should make it a point to he present.
——Robert Miller has decided to stay
in Bellefonte permanently and with his
daughter Lida will go to housekeeping in
the apartments over Lyon & Co's store.
——W. R. Gainfort's next short hand
class will open on Friday evening, Feb.
3rd. Those wishing to join will please
apply at 108 east Curtin street. 3.2t,
