Tener, warden John Francies, of the western penitentiary, and ! Col. Harry G. Trexler, of Lebanon, were "in Centre county last Friday looking over the available sites for the new peniten- tiary. The gentlemen came by train to Tyrone where John Porter Lyon met them with George A. Beezer's Mitchell car in which they were taken to Penn- sylvania Furnace where they had dinner, after which they were taken down | through Pennsvalley, over the site offered in Potter township, then over the site offered near MacBride's gap in Benner township. Having completed their trip of inspection they came to Bellefonte, had supper at the Brockerhoff house, spent a few minutes at the Elks and left in the Beezer machine for Tyrone in time to catch the 9.26 train east. The visit of these gentlemen to Centre county was kept as quiet as possible and very few knew they were here until they had taken their departure. To the few who did see them neither Governor Tener nor Mr. Francies made any declaration as to the probable result of their trip, but the very fact that the Governor came here to look over the ground is taken as evidence that the Centre county sites are being seriously considered. Mr. Francies had been in this county two or three times before and the last time he was here spoke very favorably of what Centre county has to offer. How deeply he has been impressed is shown in the fact of his bringing the Governor here to person- ally show him over the ground. Warden Francies is expected here again in the near future, possibly this week, and at that time it is very probable he will give out something definite in the matter of the selection of a site. So far | the people of Centre county have met ail | the requirements asked. The land, both { on the Benner and Potter township sites, | has been pledged at a very reasonable | price, and both sites are in close proxim- i ity to the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad. —0n Sunday a certain Bellefonte gentleman who, by the way, is an enthu- siastic hunter, took a long stroll through a certain mountainous section not many miles from Bellefonte and discovered a large flock of wild turkeys. He also found their feeding grounds and itis a safe bet that he will be there early on : the morning of November 1st, the open- ing of the wild turkey season. ——The postponed Junior oratorical | contest was held in the High school au- ditorium last Friday evening and a large ‘ audience was present to hear the young orators. There were ten contestants and | they all did so well that there ought to { have been prizes enough to go around, ! but such not being the case the judges awarded the first prize to Dorothy R. Jenkins and second prize to Ruth E. Kline. —It now looks as if the new bridge | to replace the present High street struc- ture will be built this fail and completed | before winter sets in. Plans are now be- | ing formulated to this end and it is earn- estly hoped they will be carried out. The plans provide for girders across the | creek and a brick roadway laid on con- crete. There will be no trusses so that the bridge will be clear from one guard rail to the other. { ——The congregation of the Memorial | Baptist church, Altoona, have extended a ‘call to Rev. G. W. Downing, of Alex- | andria, to become their pastor. This was the ' reverend's first pastorate after he was or- dained to the ministry. From there he came to Martha, this county where, he preach- ed several years and formed many warm friendships. The three years from 1896 to 1899 he spent in Canada as pastor of the First Baptist church in Sault St. Marie. ——The congregation of the Broad Avenue Presbyterian church, of Altoona, have recently extended a call to the Rev. THE CENTRE COUNTY FAIR.—When the WATCHMAN went to press last week there was every indication that the Centre county fair would be successfully pulled off despite the fact that it had been shoved ahead one day on account of the wet weather in the beginning of the week, but after fair days on Thursday and Fri- day another hard rain Friday night put the grounds and tracks in such a condi- tion that it was impossible to have any races on Saturday and that morning the fair was declared closed by those in charge. This decision caused general regret because everybody was looking forward to the big {free-for-all race, which promised to be one of the greatest racing events seen in Bellefonte in yearsbut the fault was not with the management. And right here it can be stated that every horseman here was well pleased with the treatment they received and were entire- ly satisfied that everything had been done to pull off every race scheduled, but the weather was against it and this is an obstacle that could not be over. come. Thursday was of course the big day at the fair and the crowd was estimated at from five to six thousand people. On Friday there were probably three thous. and people on the grounds. The racing both days was spirited and exciting be- cause ot the closeness of the contests and on Friday the spectators were given a sensation not down on the program. In the first heat of the 2.25 race, in which there were seven starters, there was a general mixup on the lower turn. The horse driven by G. B. M. Welliver, of Williamsport, stumbled and fell. He was driving almost neck to neck with J. S. Vipond and Charles Middagh and their horses were both caught and also tumbled, the three drivers being thrown from there sulkeys.

ROBBERS AT WORK.—Some time during Tuesday night thieves broke into the grocery store of Edward I. Gillen, on south Allegheny street, and tapped the cash register, getting between ten and twelve dollars in cash. So far as could be no- ticed nothing else was taken. The rob- bers gained an entrance by forcing one of the windows in the rear of the store. Up to this writing the authorities have no trace of the men who did the deed. On Tuesday of last week Perry Cole and N. J. Hockman each had their pocket picked while getting off the train at the Pennsylvania railroad station in this place. Cole lost his pocketbook and sixteen dol- lars in cash as well as some papers while the amount of money taken from Hock" man was $19.66. The latter's pocketbook was later found lying behind the door in the gentlemen's waiting room in the depot with the papers intact but money gone. Two strange men were suspected and the police set out to watch them, but they got out of town without being detected. ——A benefit entertainment for the home for the aged, infirm and blind deaf mutes at Doylestown was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Burns H.

VanTries has been invited to deliver his famous lecture: “Echoes From the Southland,” in the Afri- can M. E. church of Bellefonte, on Fri- day evening, October 20th, at 8 o'clock. This lecture will differ from the one giv- en before the Veterans club at Centre Hall, by omitting some parts of that ad- dress and introducing several subjects relating to the South, but not considered at that time. Those who have heard the doctor have been well paid for their trouble. There will be good singing by the A. M. E. church choir. Admission free. Collection in aid of church. Re- freshments served in the basement. ——At the last session of the Legisla- ture an Act was passed authorizing the appointment of dairy inspectors through- out the State, whose duty it shall be to inspect all dairies and see that they are conducted in a properly clean and sani- tary condition.

Power company were in Bellefonte last | Friday looking after their interests in ex- tending the service of the company to | Bellefonte when the company is finally organized and the plant built. This is the company which has an ordinance now pending before the Bellefonte coun- cil for a charter for the Centre County | Light, Heat and Power company, and which has an option on the borough's Green mill property at Milesburg. Lee M. Patterson, of Lock Haven, who is the promoter of the company, return- el to his home from Philadelphia last Thursday and made the authoritative statement that he had secured pledges from Philadelphia financial institutions to the amount of two million dollars and feels confident he can get all the money that will be needed to finance the enter- prise. The plan is to merge all the pro- posed subsidiary companies under one charter as the Scootac Power company and to extend the service east to Jersey Shore and up through the Bald Eagle valley to Bellefonte, furnishing electrici- ty for light, heat and power purposes. Mr. Patterson is positive in his declara- tion that the plant will be built and feels confident that everything will be settled so that work can be started within six months, at the most. THE GIRL IN THE TAXL—"The Girl in the Taxi,” a great laughing success, comes to the opera house for an en- gagement for one night only on Wednes- day, October 18. It was originally pro- duced in Berlin and afterwards in Paris, in both cities running for more than 1,000 nights. The story of the play is as laugh- able as it is interesting; its plot is full of situations and complications which move with the rapidity of a racing-car.
