——It is the fruit rinds, the pieces of

Er1scoPAL CHURCH CONVENTION.—The
seventh annual convention of the Pro-
testant Episcopal church, Diocese of Har-
risburg, was held in this place on Tues-
‘day and Wednesday of this week, and
while quite important it was a most har-
monious religious gathering. The open-
ing session was held in St. John's Epis-
copal church on Tuesday evening. It
began with the usual prayer service
which was concucted by the pastor, Rev.
John Hewitt.
At the close of this service Bishop
James Henry Darlington, of Harrisburg,
deiivered his annual address. He started
out by speaking of the great loss the
church throughout the country had sus-
tained in the past year in the death of
five bishops and the serious illness of one
other who was thus incapacitated from
labor. One minister and twenty-seven
church members in the Harrisburg diocese
died during the year. He spoke of the
great advance that had been made in
missionary work and cited as illustrations
St. James church, of Lancaster, and 1st
Trinity, of Williamsport. The former's
assessment for the year was $300, and
they gave $1,700 while the latter gave
$1,491 when its assessment was only
$291. The contributions of both churches
for other purposes were also largely in-
creased. The Bishop also stated that he
was gratified to note that the proposition
made a year ago that churches increase
their pastor's salaries ten per cent. to
meet the increased cost of living had been
generally complied with. He also stated
that fifty-six out of a total of ninety-two
churches in the diocese had contributed
$1,143 towards the clergyman’s general
relief fund. The Boy Scout movement
also was favorably commented upon.
At the conclusion of the bishop's ad-
dress the congregation was dismissed
and the convention formally called to or-
der for the transaction of business. The
roll call showed forty-three ministers and
forty-eight lay delegates present. Gen.
Charles M. Clement, of Sunbury, was re-
elected secretary of the convention and
he appointed Mr. Davis his assistant. All
the old standing committees were ap-
pointed by Bishop Darlington, and the
few vacancies caused by death or remov-
al were supplied by new members.
Prior to the assembling of the conven-
tion a rumor gained currency that there
was likely to be a contest over the elec-
tion of a chancellor to succeed C. LaRue
Munson, of Williamsport, but nothing of
the kind occurred. In fact the election
of officers was a veritable love feast, as
all the old officials were re-elected with-
out opposition.
A lengthy communication was received
from the general convention of the
church asking that the diocesan conven-
tion sanction an amendment to the con-
stitution providing for the election of
bishops by the general convention instead
of by the board of bishops, and the same
was given. The convention also went on
record as approving the work now being
carried on by the board of education of
the church and a committee on Sabbath
school work was appointed. A resolu-
tion was passed condemning the sale of
adulterated food stuffs, the white slave
traffic and everything pertaining to the
spread of disease or immorality.
Various resolutions of interest to the
church were presented at Tuesday night's
session which were acted upon at the
business session held on Wednesday
morning.
On Wednesday afternoon the conven-
tion went to State College to be present
at the service of breaking ground for the
new St. Andrew’s mission. Bishop Dar-
lington officiated and he was to have
been assisted by Bishop Israel, of Erie,
but that gentleman was taken sick on
the train and was compelled to return
home.
At the conclusion of the breaking
ground services the convention became
the guests of the College and to show
them the magnitude of the institution
President Sparks had the regiment of
cadets out on an exhibition drill. After-
wards the visitors were taken to the dairy
building where they were served a light
luncheon of sandwiches with all the milk
they could drink, and some of them had
a very fair capacity, too.
On Wednesday even the Church club
held its regular annual banquet at the
Brockerhoff house. Frank C. Angle, of
Christ Memorial church, Danville, is sec-
retary and treasurer of the club, and he
had full charge of the affair; and in that
capacity he certainly knows his business.
Just eighty covers were laid and every
one taken, the guests including not only
members of the club, visiting ministers,
etc, but a number of citizens of the
town. The menu was elaborate and the
banquet was thoroughly enjoyed by all

outplayed their opponents at all stages of
the game.
——At the annual meeting of the Belle-
When the material man had been am-
ply satisfied Col. W. Fred Reynolds was
chosen ruler of the feast and Rev. John
Hewitt made the address of welcome to
the club. Dr. Edwin Earle Sparks spoke
on “The Church as an Educational Force,”
and Hon. Ellis L. Orvie on “Organization
of the Laity for Work.” Bishop Darling-
ton made the concluding remarks.
The outgoing president,George N. Rey-
nolds, of Lancaster, presided over the
final business meeting of the club and
the following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, Harry S. Knight,
of Sunbury; vice presidents, C. A. Pres.
ton, of Altoona, and Frank K. Lukenbach,
of Tyrone, from the archdeaconry of Al-
toona; John C. Schmidt, of York, and

county in the State has had at least one
representative there while Centre county
has not been represented at all, and yet
there isn’t a county in the State that has
always been more prompt and willing to
respond in time of actual need than Cen-
tre county.
——Notwithstanding the long spell of
cold weather this spring there have been
more than the usual number of forest
fires in Centre county. Two weeks ago
fire did considerable damage on the
mountain in Walker township and in the
Barrens in Patton township, adjacent to
the McNitt—Huyett Lumber company’s
operations. On Sunday fire broke out on
the point of Muncy mountain northwest
of Bellefonte and burned over consider-
able ground during that day and on Mon-
day. How the fires started is a mystery.

——Ten car loads of pig iron are now
being shipped daily from the two furnaces
in this place, five from the Nittany and
five from the Bellefonte. This means a
shipment of probably two hundred and
fifty tons daily, or an amount almost
equal to the output of the two plants.
But at that the company still has thous-
ands and thousands of tons stored in the
two yards and even at the present rate
of shipment it will be months before the
stock is disposed of. And naturally until
this is done, or the price of iron advances
considerably no proposition will be made
for putting the furnaces in blast. But
the fact that the company is disposing of
their iron at the rate they now are is at
least a sign that there is a fair demand
for pig iron.
——The Bellefone Academy baseball
team will have a big week of it begin-
ning tomorrow if all their plans now car-
ry through. The Lock Haven Normal
will be their opponents on Hughes field
tomorrow afternoon, game to be called at
3.15 o'clock. Forsythe will likely be in
the box for the visitors and efforts are
being made to secure Tom Donovan to
umpire the game. Gettysburg will play
State College next Friday and the Acad-
emy management is trying to secure
them for a game on Thursday afternoon.
On Friday afternoon the University of
Pittsburg will play the Academy on
Hughes field and on Saturday morning
the Bucknell Academy nine will be here,
so that baseball enthusiasts will have op-
portunity of witnessing some good games.
——William B. Given, of Chicago, ac-
companied by a number of experts, was in
Bellefonte last Friday and Saturday look-
ing over the property of the American
Union Telegraph and Telephone com-
pany. Mr. Given has under consideration
the formation of a company to take over
all the property of the above company
and place it under a new management
and it was in securing an estimate of the
value of the same that he and his men
came to this county. Mr. Given went east
to Philadelphia and New York in the
beginning of the week while his crew of
estimaters are still within the county.
Should the American Union pass into the
hands of a new company it will hardly
make any change in its operation here or
elsewhere, unless it be to add to its effi-
ciency. The American Union Co. is now
in the hands of receivers. It is the com-
bination of independent companies out-
side of Bell control and the old Commer-
cial telephone company that developed
this county is one of the subsidiary com-
o'clock when he got on the ground. He
found the man lying just where he had
dropped and the foreigners in an uproar.
The sheriff and a number of deputies
went to the scene of the murder but
though they searched the entire valley
and mountain could not find the murder-
er. They even went to Tyrone, Scotia and
over to Snow Shoe Intersection to watch
the various trains but did not find him.
Undertaker Frank E. Nagingy brought
the remains of the murdered man to
Bellefonte and coroner S. M. Huff held
an inquest on Monday morning. After
hearing the evidence the jury, composed
of J. Linn Harris Sidney Krumrine, Aaron
Katz, Russell Blair, Harry Baum and
C. L. Gates, returned a verdict in effect
that Giangioppi came to his death by a
razorcuton the left side of the neck,
which severed the jugular vein, at the
hands of Carman Ventro, one of his
countrymen.
- Both Giangioppi and Ventro are mar-
ried and have a wife and one child
each in the old country. The mur-
dered man was probably forty-two years
of age while Ventro is thirty-five. The
latter is a man about five feet ten inches
tall, with a dark mustache and rather dan-
dified appearance. He wore a green
suit of clothes.

STATE RoADp TO BE COMPLETED AT
Once.—Contractor R. B. Taylor began
work on the completion of the state road
through Bellefonte on Wednesday and it
will be a relief to the people of the town
to learn that the same is to be pushed to
completion as fast as possible. The as.
phalt for the top coveringarrived in Belle-
fonte on Saturday and as it is of a proof
passed upon by the State Highway Com-
mission there will be no delay so far as
that is concerned. If the contractor puts
force enough at work upon the road he
should have it completed within a month
or six weeks at the most.
The First National bank is the first of
the property owners along the brick
paved portion of Allegheny street and
the Diamond to begin the repair of their
pavement this spring. They had the old
stone pavement torn up on Monday and
a new and substantial concrete walk has
been practically completed. It is now up
to all the other property owners on that
section of the street to do likewise and
have the pavements conform to the paved
street.

Court House DEDICATION FRIDAY,
May 19TH. —Centre county's remodeled
court house is to be officially dedicated
on Friday of next week, May 19th. A
committee was appointed by the bar as-
sociation to prepare a program for the
day and make the event one worthy the
present building, on the remodeling of
which close to $125,000 was spent, but the
uncertainty of who will be here, out of
the large number invited, makes it rath.
er difficult to announce any definite speak-
ers; especially people away from home.
The dedication will take place at 10.30
o'clock in the morning and addresses will
be made by Gen. James A. Beaver, Judge
Ellis L. Orvis and distinguished members
of the bar from various sections of the
State. Not only judges and lawyers are
invited but every citizen of Centre coun-
ty as well, as the court house is the one
public building in which every resident of
the county has an interest. In the after-
noon of that day there will be a ball
game between the Bellefonte Academy
panies of the American Union.

were quite willing to have it continued.
