STREET BRIDGE.—The regular meeting of
borough conncil on Monday evening was
sion of the High street bridge question
and the one thing certain now is that it
will be some months, at least, before the
bridge will be repaired or a new bridge
built. Only six members were present
at the meeting and the routine reports of
committees were heard and recorded,
nothing of importance developing.
A motion was then made that the York
Bridge company be requested to proceed
with the repairs on High street bridge.
After the motion had been duly seconded
Clement Dale Esq., solicitor for the coun-
ty commissioners, addressed council and
stated that the present procedure in re-
building the bridge in question was illegal
and entirely contrary to law. Naturally
this announcement created considerable
consternation among the borough law-
makers, but Mr. Dale explained that the
only way the commissioners could pro-
cede or the county would be liable for
either building a new bridge or rebuild-
ing the old one was to have the matter
passed upon by two successive grand ju-
ries and approved by the court. Then the
letting had to be properly advertised and
awarded to the lowest bidder.
The matter was thoroughly explained
by Mr. Dale and discussed by council and
as there seemed no other legal method
of procedure it was decided to make
temporary repairs on the north side of
the present bridge to make it perfectly
safe for travel and close up the south
side, which is now torn up, then present
a petition to the grand jury at the May
term of court for a new bridge. If that
grand jury approves the petition then it
will have to be held over and go before
the grand jury at the September term. If
both grand juries pass upon the petition
favorably then it will be up to the court
for approval before any definite action
can be taken toward rebuilding the
bridge.
While there is no predicting the action
of any grand jury there is hardly a doubt
but that the petition will pass. There
is not another bridge in the county that
is really more of a county bridge than
the one on High street. Every resident
of the county who comes to Bellefonte
by train must cross and recross that
bridge, and seventy-five per cent. of the
people who drive into town cross the
bridge at least once or twice during their
stay here. And naturally they are as
much interested in having it a safe and
sound structure as the people of Belle-
fonte.
It might not be out of place to state
that plans have been prepared for an
entirely new bridge which, if built, will
mean a structure that will last for gen-
erations without any repairs and which
will cost the county only a normal sum.
These plans have the approval of the
county and borough officials and the
whole question now is one of legal pro-
cedure to have the bridge built.
In the meantime the structual work,
old plank, etc., piled in the street at the
bridge will be removed so as to open the
street as much as possible and the torn
up portion of the bridge will be built in
80 as to preclude all danger of accidents.
On Wednesday afternoon the county
commissioners with their attorney, repre-
sentatives of the borough council, the
borough solicitor and representatives of
the York Bridge company held a meeting
in the commissioners office and went over
the entire bridge situation with the result
that a petition was prepared, and which
is now being circulated for signers, to be
presented to the court asking for the ap-
pointment of viewers to inspect the bridge
and determine whether it can be repaired
or a new one is necessary. This, of
course, is the first step in line with the
above statement in regard to what will in
all probability be done.
Inasmuch as the York Bridge company
has been permanently stopped from re-
building the bridge according to their
own plans and specifications their men
yesterday afternoon removed the trestles
“~om the crezk so as to clear the stream
of all obstruction.
A petition was presented from the ad-
jacent property owners of that portion of
High street from the bridge over the race
to the crossing at the Potter--Hoy Hard-
ware company's store to have that thor-
oughfare paved with brick but the matter
was held over for the present. The foot
prides Sat ie old canal opposite Frank
's residence was declared unsafe
and the Street committee was instructed
to remove it.
There was nothing else of importance
brought before council and after the ap
proval of the bills the borough lawmak-
ers adjourned.
DR. GRENFEL'S LECTURE.—Quite a good-
sized audience was present in the Pres-
byterian church on Saturday evening to
hear the lecture by Dr. Wilfred T. Gren-
fel, the English doctor-missionary among
the fisher folk of Labrador. There is no
denying the fact that the doctor has done
and is doing a good work among the peo-
ple of Labrador and his talk on Saturday
evening was confined entirely to a state-
ment of cold facts, which he illustrated
by various views of the country, fishing
hamlets, hospitals, the natives, dog-sleds,
etc. It must be confessed, however, that
as a lecturer Dr. Grenfe! was a disap-
pointment to the audience and his deliv-
ery was so low and indistinct that those
ir the rear of the church could not
understand or comprehend the half he
said. The cause he champions, however,
is as worthy as any other missionary
work and because of that fact no one

~The annual reunion of the Fifth
regiment Spanish-American war veter-
ans will be held this year at Clearfield on
April 26th and 27th. Bellefonte and Cen-

of them will likely attend this reunion.

——The biennial report of the Danville
state hospital for the insane has been re-
ceived at this office. It shows that dur-
ing the year 1908—'09 Centre county had
nine male and six female inmates and
during the year 1909—'10 five male and
four female, while since the hospital has
been in operation Centre county has had
165 male and 115 female inmates, or a
total of 280.
——The Pennsylvania State College
authorities have not given up hope of
having the connecting link in the Lewis-
burg & Tyrone railroad, from Lemont to
Fairbrook, built some time in the future.
And in this connection it might be
said that the railroad officials are not
adverse to building the road at any time
if they can be assured of its being a pay-
ing investment.
—Six? Philipsburg boys ranging in
age from sixteen to twenty years have
gotten themselves into the clutches of the
law for stealing copper wire from the
Bell telephone company, while Hyman
Garfinkle is wanted on the charge of re-
ceiving the stolen goods. Practically all
the stolen wire was recovered, but the
boys have been held under three hundred
dollars bail each for their appearance for
trial in the Centre county court.
—Two weeks from next Tuesday
will be the day for the execution of Bert
Delige, the negro convicted at the De-
cember term of court for the murder of
Mrs. John Baudis, of Scotia. Delige, if he
has a full comprehension of the nearness
of the fatal date, gives no evidence of
being affected by it, as he is at all times
as stolid and indifferent in regard to the
consequences as he was during his trial.
So far there is no evidence that sheriff
W. E. Hurley has changed his mind in
regard to denying admission to all appli-
cants to see the hanging; though of
course the jury, physicians, etc, will
have to be present according to law.

Academy outbatted State and held them

by catcher Beattie and the whole Acade-
my nine. Nearly 1700 people witnessed
the game. Dillon’s throw home from
deep centre catching a runner at the

-——When architects Newman and Har-
ris drew the plans for the remodeled
court house they provided spaces in the
library or memorial hall on the second
floor for paintings of the various judges
who have presided over the Centre coun-
ty courts. Judge Orvis, the present in-
cumbent, is the only living judge in Cen-
tre county and he and friends of a num-
ber of former judges have given orders
for paintings to the well known portrait
painters, Antrim & Landsy, of Philadel-
phia. The very fact that the portraits
will be painted by this firm is evidence
that the judges gallery in the court house
library will be one of unusual excellence
and the surviving friends of all deceased
judges should see to it that the gallery is
complete.
——The passenger train on the Lewis-
burg & Tyrone railroad was over an hour
late on Wednesday evening, caused by
an accident to the locomotive, but at
that the passengers have reason to con-
gratulate themselves that they all escap-
ed without injury. The train left Wyker
station, this side of Lewisburg, on time
and had gone but a short distance
when one of the driving rods broke and
knocked out a cylinder head. Fortunate-
ly the train had not yet gotten up full
speed and the engineer was able to bring
jt to a stop before any further damage
was done. The accident occurred at a
place where there is a cut on one side and
a high embankment on the other and had
the train been running at high speed a
ROADS TRAIN PEOPLE.—As a fitting cli-
max to the close of the sixty days tour of
the good roads special through the State,
operated jointly by The Pennsylvania
State College, the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, the State Highway Department
and the United States Bureau of Good
Roads, John Price Jackson gave a ban-
quet on Monday evening, at the Nittany
Inn, State College, to all those who ad-
ministered in any way to the success of
the undertaking. Just thirty-eight plates
were laid and prominent among those at
the table were the following representing
the Pennsylvania railroad:
George W. Creighton, superintendent
Middle division; R. N. Deberow, super-
intendent of motive power; Mr. Spangle,
division freight agent; Joseph J. Rhoads,
assistant engineer; H. M. Chenoweth and
J. N. Nelson, special agents to the super-
intendent, all of Altoona; Walter G.
Thompson, of Elmira, N. Y., assistant en-
gineer on the Northern Central division;
J. K. Johnston, superintendent of the Ty-
rone division; R. B. Freeman, trainmast-
er, and W, H. Hoover, accountant. Rep-
resenting the U. S. Good Roads Bureau
was Mr. Winslow while the State High-
way Department was represented by Mr.
Gephart, Mr. Fees and others. Among
the other guests were Col. John A. Wood"
ward, Dr. Grier, of Birmingham; Dr.
Findley, of Altoona; Theodore S. Boal, of
Boalsburg, and Col. W. F. Reynolds and
Robert F. Hunter, of Bellefonte; Dr. Ed-
win Erle Sparks, president of the College,
presided and among the members of the
faculty present were: Dean John Price
Jackson, who was the man in charge of
the good roads special; Dr. G. G. Pond,
Dr. William Frear, Dr. Benjamin Gill, El-
ton D. Walker, H. B. Shattuck, R. I. Web-
ber and M. S. McDowell.
The menu served by landlord Aikens
was quite elaborate and a feature of the
service was the soldier-like precision with
which a number of college students offi-
ciated as waiters. When the inner man
of all present had been amply satisfied
Dr. Sparks, in his capacity as toastmaster,
called upon Dean Jackson to express the
appreciation and thanks of the College to
the officials of the Pennsylvania railroad
and all others whoso willingly and cheer-
fully gave of their time and labor to make
a success of this innovation in spreading
the good roads doctrine, which Mr. Jack-
son did in his customary suave and pleas-
ant manner. Brief remarks were made
by several of the other gentlemen pres-
ent when, owing to the lateness of the
hour, those present took their departure
for their respective homes.
During the sixty days the good roads
special was on the road it traversed most
of the important lines of the Pennsylva-
nia railroad and through practically all the
good agricultural districts of the State,
traveling a distance of five thousand
miles. The train was visited by over fifty-
two thousand people who inspected the
modern road making machinery and lis-
tened to the vari lectures on road
making. When the train finally returned
to State College last week it was the in-
tention to store the machinery until next
winter and spring when it is likely an-
other good roads tour will be made. But
the Pennsylvania railroad company has
had requests from a number of railroad
companies in other States for the loan of
the equipment to use in a similar cam-
paign and it is likely the request will be
granted. All in all everybody interested
feels very well satisfied with the work
they have done and the possible good it
may accomplish.
SHOWMEN IN TROUBLE. — A large
audience was present in the opera house
on Monday night to witness the perform-
ance of “My Cinderella Girl” and while
some of the parts were well taken the
musical specialties were not up to the ad-
vertised standard. However, if the com-
pany did not make a ten-strike in their
performance at the opera house two of
the members performed an after act that
brought them very much into the lime-
light. After the show was over Jacob
Bartlet hauled the company’s baggage
from the opera house to their car at the
railroad station and while unloading the
last load the stage manager disputed the
number of trunks, claiming they had only
sixteen. Mr. Bartlet declared they had
nineteen, but that he was charging for
only eighteen. When the stage manager
declared he would pay for sixteen and no
more Mr. Bartlet, who had three trunks
on his wagon, said he would not unload
them until he was paid for hauling eigh-
teen trunks.
Hardly had he made the declaration
until the stage manager jumped from the
car onto the wagon and struck Bartlet on
the chest, knocking him backwards off
the wagon. He fell on his head and
shoulders and might have been killed or
seriously injured but fortunately wasn’t.
Policeman Harry Dukeman was standing
nearby and he at once made for the ag-
gressive showman, who ran into the car.
Dukeman followed, when the property
manager took a hand by jumping into the
car and grabbing the policeman by the
coat. The latter struck him over the
head with his mace, laying him out for
the time being. He then started with the
stage manager for the lockup but the lat-
ter pleaded to be taken to the manager
of the show at the Bush house and the
matter was finally settled by his paying
Bartlet fifteen dollars, almost three times
what the bill for hauling would have
been.
