SoME MORE BRIDGE NEWS.—Last week
the WATCHMAN stated that the High
street bridge was again delayed because
of the continuing of this week of court
and the cancellation of the sitting of the
grand jury. This was an error, but itis
an error that has been made alike by the
press and public universally. It has been
the general supposition that a petition
for a new bridge must go before two suc-
cessive grand juries, but such is not the
jaw. :
The Act of the Legislature providing
for the erection of new bridges by the
pointed and their recommendation shall
be presented to the court at the ensuing
term, and that the same shall be held
over until the next regular term of court
for approval or otherwise. Shall the
court approve the same at the second
term of court then the matter goes be-
fore the grand jury for their approval;
and one grand jury is sufficient.
In other words, had there been court
this week and the grand jury had ap-
proved the recommendation of the view-
ers as made last week, the matter would
have been held over until the September
term of court for the approval of the
court, if he was favorable thereto, though
it would not have gone before the grand
jury at that term. So that the question
of there being no court this week will
not effect the delay in the building of the
bridge one hour.
The above legal construction of the
case was given the editor of the WATCH-
MAN by one in a position to know, hence
there is no question about its correct-
ness. Under this condition of affairs the
only thing to do is to abide the time
when the law can take its course in reg-
ular process and trust that the matter
will not be unduly delayed thereafter.
~The man who can invent or con-
coct something to get rid of the dust
nuisance, and which will be cheap enough
for general use, will in a few years be
able to command a fortune that Rocker-
feller would envy. There is hardly any-
thing as disagreeable and more disease-
spreading than the clouds of dust on a
much traveled thoroughfare, and the au-
tomobiles of today make it worse than
ever before. A man would pay any rea-
sonable price for perfect immunity there-
from.
PENNSYLVANIA FORESTRY ASSOCIATION
TO MEET AT STATE COLLEGE.—The Penn-
sylvania Forestry Association will hold
its spring meeting at State College on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, May
24th, 25th and 26th. This will be the
first time in the history of the Associa-
tion that a meeting will be held so far
west in the State, and undoubtedly many
of the western members and others inter-
ested in forestry work will be present.
‘The meetings will be held in the audito-
rium, agricultural and forestry buildings.
The students will give demonstrations of
all phases of the college practicum work,
such as forest mapping, packing, nursery
work, etc. All meetings and demonstra-
tion work will be open to the pub-
lic. The program prepared for the three
days is quite lengthy and includes ad-
dresses and discussions by all the lead-
ing foresters in Pennsylvania as well as
from other States. Governor Tener and
Dr. H. S. Graves, forester of the United | pleted,
States Department of Agriculture, have
been invited to attend and the latter, at
least, is expected to be present.
The Pennsylvania Forestry Association
is one of the oldest of its kind in the
country and has done splendid service in
the organization of a Forestry Commis-
sion which now controls nearly 1,000,000
acres of State reserves. To continue the
work which the Association has so ably
begun, they need the help of every one
interested in forestry in the State and
therefore, the College and the Forestry
Association invite you to attend the
meeting and become a member of the
Association. Annual dues $2.00 includ-
ing cost of Forest Leaves.

PARRISH'S DRUG STORE BURGLARIZED.
Some time between ten and twelve o'clock
on Tuesday night robbers broke into
Parrish’s drug store by way of the side | ymned
window on Pike alley, and breaking open
the cash register got away with about
five dollars in change without being de-
tected by anybody. It lacked only a few
minutes of ten o'clock when Dr. Parrish
and his clerk, John Martin, closed the
store and went to the reception and
dance in the Knights of Columbus hall.
They both left there about twelve o'clock,
young Martin direct to the storeand the
first thing he discovered was the broken
cash register and the rear door standing
open the robbers having made their exit
that way. At this writing no clue to their
identity has been discovered.

Court House to be
Dedicated Today.
Eminent Jurists Will Speak at the Ex’
ercises This Morning. Historical
Sketch of the Temple of Justice.
Centre county's remodeled court house
will be dedicated today and while the cere-
monies will be at an end before this issue
of the WATCHMAN reachesits hundreds of
readers throughout the county Bellefont- |
ers, and especially those who have never |
been through the temple of justice since it |
has been overhauled, are hereby reminded |
will undoubtedly be interesting, then you |
will also be afforded an opportunity to in- |
spect the building throughout. The libra- |
ry, memorial hall, or whatever you may |
choose to call it, was only furnished last |
week and it is a room of surpassing beau- |
ty and splendor. The only thing lacking |
so far is the gallery of portraits of Cen-,
tre county judges and a number of these |
are now being painted by W. L. Antrim |
and M. A. Landsy, of Philadelphia, and at
least four of them, Judges Linn, Furst, |
Love and Orvis, are so far completed
that they will be on exhibition today and
very likely will be formally presented to
the bar association as historical court rec-
ords.
10.30 o'clock with Judge Ellis L. Orvis
presiding. The committee of arrange-
ments had hoped to have Supreme court | the
justice Robert Von Moschzisker, of Phila- |
delphia, here to make an address repre-
senting the Supreme court of the State,
but he cannot come. Gen. James A. Bea.
ver will make an address representing
the Superior court; Judge H. M. McClure,
of Lewisburg, will speak on the Common
Pleas court and Judge Thomas J. Bald-
ridge, of Blair county, will also be pres-
ent and make an address. William H |
Keller, Esq., of Lancaster, an old Belle- |
fonte boy will be here, and with various
other visiting Jawyers from surrounding
counties will make brief addresses.
But speaking will not be everything on
the program. The Coburn band will be
on hand and furnish music for the occa-
sion, so that in every way the exercises :
will be fitting and appropriate to the for-
mal dedication of a court house which |
has no superior and few equals in Cen-
tral Pennsylvania.
Commissioner's clerk E. J. Williams has
had published under copyright a souve-
nir booklet containing exterior and inter-
fine half tone pictures of Judge Orvis,
the commissioners and clerks and all the
county officials, which will be distributed
free to all who attend today’s exercises.
This booklet contains a very interesting
historical sketch of the Centre county
court house with a list of all the presi-
dent judges since the organization of the
county, which we publish as follows with

HISTORICAL SKETCH.
In the passage of the actof 13th of Feb- |
ruary, 1800, erecting Centre county, it
was provided that Bellefonte should be-
come the county seat. The principal con- |
sideration therefore was set forth in the |
deed from the proprietors of the town to |
the trustees of the new county whereby
they not only set aside the square for the
erection of county buildings thereon, !
but conveyed an undivided one-thi
terest in all the lots of the town to the and
county.
By the beginning of the r 1805 it
was found that this fund A ony suf-
ficiently to warrant the erection of a court
house. Up until this time the sessions of
the court were held in the stone house at
the northeast corner of High and Spring
streets, then the of James Dun-
lop and now owned the Jacob Valen-
tine estate.
The first court house was an unpreten-
tious two-story stone building occupying
the space now taken up by front lob-
by and the offices of the ry
and register. This structure was com-
as nearly as can be ascertained, in
the fall of the year 1805 or the spring of |
1806, the second story being devoted to |
the court room.
During the next five years the business
of the county grew so rapidly that the lit-
tle court house was i cient for its
needs, and wings were built in the year
1811 to both the northern and soul
ends extending somewhat beyond
western front of the original building.
For many years these additions were ap-
pargtly sufficient for their purpose and
n 1835 it was that

tion of the present columned porch which
pleted during that year.

the maintenance of a law library in con-

The old library, located in what was prac-
tically a passage-way or cloak-room, was

COLLEGE ROAD TO BE IMPROVED AT
committees on the improvement of
the road between Bellefonte and
State College was held at the Elk’s
club last Friday evening. State College,
Bellefonte and Benner township were
represented. Mr. Gephart, of the State
Highway Department, was present and
stated that the road could be put in fair-
ly good condition at a nominal cost per
mile. He stated that he had made a
trip over the entire route and had mark-
ed the places where underground drains
ought to be put in in order to get rid of
all the surface drains, breakers and un-
necessary “thank-e-mams.” About six or
eight underground drains will be all that
will be necessary on the entire road and
these will be of twelve inch iron pipe, so
as to be durable. After these have been
put in and the breakers filled up all that
will be necessary will be to go over the
road with a road making machine, scoop
off the sides, crush the stones thus ob-
tained and use them to round up the
middle of the road.
Regarding the money necessary to do
this work the Benner township supervis-
ors agree to expend about $250 in helping
to put the two miles of road in their
township in good condition, while a num-
jes gi. armless ig, the same township have
agreed to give either a team or labor to
assist in the work. State College people
have pledged themselves to raise as much
of a fund as possible while Col. W. F.
| Reynolds and James H. Potter, for the
Potter-Hoy Hardware company, have
each subscribed fifty dollars. Gen. James
A. Beaver has pledged himself to give
ten dollars for every one hundred sub-
scribed in Bellefonte and subscription pa-
pers are now being circulated among the
business men of the town to ascertain
just how much of a fund can be raised
here. It is quite likely the Bellefonte

MCCLELLAN, —Mrs. Emma L. McClel-
lan died at the Bellefonte hospital about
eight o'clock on Tuesday morning. For
several years past she had made her
home in Bellefonte with her sister, Mrs.
J. L. Spangler and about two weeks ago
she was taken quite ill. Her condition
continued to grow worse and on Sunday
she was taken to the Bellefonte hospital
for the purpose of an operation. Her
ailment had been diagnosed as gall stones
but when the physicians came to perform
the operation they found that instead of
gall stones her trouble was adhesions in
the gall duct and that her case was so
extremely critical that there was very
little hope of her recovery.
Deceased’s maiden name was Emma
L. Wagner, a daughter of David and El-
vira Johnston Wagner; she was born in
Bellefonte. On April 26th, 1876, she was
united in marriage to Jack McClellan, a
Chambersburg man who came to
Bellefonte with the late William T. Speer
to start the old car works. They lived
here several years then moved to Altoo-
na where Mr. McClellan accepted a po-
sition as master mechanic with the Penn-
sylvania railroad company. After leaving
Altoona they lived in Ashland, Philadel.
phia and other places until about three
years ago when Mrs. McClellan came to
Bellefonte and this had been her home
since. :
She was a member of the Presbyterian
church and a woman of great refinement
and modest demeanor and her death is
mourned by a large circle of friends. She
was the mother of five children, three of
| whom are living, namely: Mrs. George
| Gaches, of Butler; Jack and Frank. Two
| sisters also survive, namely: Mrs. John
| Harris and Mrs. J. L. Spangler, both of
this place.

Superior court judge, General James | Mills, has been connected with the Strutt-

kansas, for several years and his course
and discipline has been so successful and
satisfactory that at a recent meeting of
the school board he was elected superin-
tendent of the public schools of that
place.
Mr. Rossman is quite a young man,
highly educated, refined and a polisized
gentleman. He is a graduate of Franklin
and Marshall college and possesses all
the requisites necessary for the profession
of teaching and government of schools.
As stated in the newspaper published at
Struttgart, in complimenting him on his
election: “As the successor of Prof. Mur-

he has by his courteous and agreeable
manners won golden opinions from all |

all in this community.”
MONDAY SESSION OF COURT.—Thoiigh
there was no quarter sessions court this
week nor jury trials there was a brief
session on Monday morning to hear
the returns of constables and receive
any motions and petitions the various at-

~The members of the bar petitioned the
court to have the recorder re-copy two
books which have become very defective,
a deed book and a mortgage book, and
the court granted an order on that official
to purchase the books and recopy the de-

' be assigned was over-exertion while out

| ment without receiving any benefit. The
past year or so he had been at home and
| becoming physically strong in the upper
| portion of his body it was thought that
an operation might restore the partial
use, at least, of his legs. Two or three
months ago he went to the Orthopoedic
hospital, Philadelphia, and submitted to
the treatment but it was too severe for
‘him. About three weeks ago he went
| alone from Philadelphia to Brooklyn to
| visit his sister, Mrs. Herbert Bellringer.
{ While there he was taken sick and last
' week his mother went down to bring him
home. They arrived in Bellefonte on
| Wednesday morning and, although he
| was considerably tired out by the long
‘trip that afternoon he appeared much
brighter and stronger. Wednesday night,
however, he became violently ill and
from that time his condition gradually
| grew worse until the end.
Deceased was born in Bellefonte and
was twenty-three years old. He was ed-
ucated in the public schools and later as-
sisted his father in his green grocery
store until illness overtook him. He was
sober and industrious and his untimely
death is a severe blow to his parents, who
survive with one sister and two brothers,
Mrs. Herbert Bellringer, of Brooklyn, and
Fred and John. Up to the time the
WATCHMAN went to press no definite ar-
rafigements for the funeral had been

there with the exception of the short
while they lived in Bellefonte.
Surviving her are her husband and the
following children: Mrs. Fred Yocum,
of Waddle; Ammon Gramley, of Belle-

Central Pennsylvania M. E. conference,
died in Harris urg on Monday,aged eighty
years. He entered tle ministry in 1855,
and although he retired from active
work in 1891, after thirty-six years hard
work in the pulpit, he wcrked as a super-
numerary seven years and during the
past thirteen years preached on various
occasions. His funeral yesterday was at-
tended by a large number of his fellow
ministers in the conference.

THE BUILDING OUTLOOK.—At this
time there is not much prospect for any
great activity in building operations in
Bellefonte this summer, though it is pos-
sible a few new houses will be erected.
John Sebring has broken ground for a
new house on Howard steet and F. W.
Crider is having plans and specifications
made for a row of three new houses he
purposes building on the south side of
east Linn street. He is also considering
the erection of a number of tenement
houses on Lamb street but is undecided
whether to go ahead with these or not.
Allegheny and Bishop streets, known as
the Macbride block, is considering the
erection of a modern steel frame and
brick business block, three stories in
height, but his plans have not advanced
to that stage where he is willing to an-
nounce them as a certainty.
When one considers the business con-
dition of Bellefonte today it must be ad-
mitted there is no demand for additional
houses and still less inducement to busi-
ness men to invest in building operations.
With both furnaces idle and no telling
| when they will be put in operation; with
| none of the lime operations around here
| operating to their full capacity; with only
[a handful of men employed at the Lin-
gle foundry there is no demand for labor
and consequently no demand for any
large number of new houses. With such
a condition of affairs prevailing here
there never was a time of more pressing
need for a live board of trade. Other
towns are securing new industries
and Bellefonte could do likewise if the
matter were gone about in the right
way.

PAINTINGS OF EXCEPTIONAL MERIT.—
In our report of the dedication of the
court house today, published in another
column, reference is made to the oil
paintings of four judges of the county ex-
ecuted by W. L. Antrim and M, A. Land-
sy, of Philadelphia, and which were
hung in Memorial hall this week. It is
due to these associate artists to state that
two of the pictures, those of the late
Judge Love and of Judge Orvis are not
considered finished but were brought here
for today's dedication and for criticism as
to any alterations desired by the parties
interested. The painting of the late
Judge Love, for instance, was made from
a photograph taken twenty-five years ago
and is a remarkable likeness of him at
that time, though it is too young to rep-
resent him in the latter years of his life,
The one painting, however, that is finish-
ed is that of the late Judge Austin O.
Furst, and a more remarkable piece of
work, so far as realism is concerned was
never brought to Bellefonte by the above
artists, and they have brought some very
clever work here. The likeness of this
picture to Mr. Furst as he looked when
he was judge of Centre county is so real
as to be almost startling. All the paint-
ings are in fine gold frames and are being
presented by friends to the bar of Centre
county.

ROBBERY MYSTERY SOLVED BUT THIEF
EscaPep.—Two years ago last month the
tailoring establishment of William Mil-
ler, in Philipsburg, was burglarized and
goods to the value of six hundred dollars
carried away. All efforts to find some
trace of the robbers proved futile until
recently when the authorites of that
place got an inkling that the burglary had
been perpetrated by John Kolozei, a
Hungarian, of Winburne. A warrant
was secured for the man’s arrest but
when the officers went to nab him they
found that he had skipped, and incident-
ally jumped a bail bond of $1,000 for his
appearance at the Clearfield court, At
the home of Kolozei’'s brother, Frank
Kolozei, in Portage, a large trunk was
found in which was a portion of the
goods stolen from Miller's store and
which were identified by him. Frank
Kolozei and wife have been held in their
own recognizance for secreting stolen
goods and Mrs. John Kolozei has been
held in three hundred dollors bail for
transporting the goods from Winburne
to Portage, as it was she who took the
trunk from their home to that of Frank
Kolozei.
FARMERS’ INSTITUTES. — The county
board of farmers’ institute managers, will
meet at the county commissioners’ office
on the second Tuesday of June, to arrange
for the place where institutes are to be
held this season. All persons who desire
institutes ought to attend this meeting
and present their claims. This board is
composed of the local members of the
State Board of Agriculture and one repre-
sentative from each county agricultural
society, the Pomona Grange and County
Alliance. If you find that you cannot at-
tend this meeting, address a letter with
your request to John A. Woodward, chair-
man of Board of Institute Managers,
Howard, Pa.
