This led to an airing of the liability of the borough for the building | of the bridge.

It was just about 7:30 o'clock in the evening when one of the maids in the Blanchard home ' went up stairs and discovered flames and smoke issuing from under the door of the linen closet located at the rear of the! hallway. She ran down stairs crying fire and Mrs. Blanchard, who was the only one of the family at home at the time, | called the telephone exchange and gave the alarm. Col. H. S. Taylor, who had just gone into the steam heating plant, ran across the school house grounds and he and Edward Hill were the first men on the scene. They immediately organized | a bucket brigade and after Col. Taylor kicked in the door to the closet in which the fire was burning he braved the heat and smoke and threw water on the flames | as fast as it was brought to him with the result that by the time the firemen ar- rived the fire was all out except a few stray sparks. One line of hose was laid into the house and the place where the fire had been’ thoroughly saturated toinsure all the fire being extinguished so that the damage by | water was about as great as that by fire.

The next day the county commissioners were verbally notified of the action of council but when the new board went in they wanted something more material and secretary W. T.

No require- ments as to dress are made, allowing each person to use their pleasure, in go- ing in costume, evening dress or street dress, and giving them the same privilege of wearing or not wearing a mask. The armory, however, will for the first hour belong to the maskers, after which time the general dance will begin. Elab- orate decorations, good music, a comfort- able room, substantial refreshments and much to amuse you, along with a cordial welcome from the women, are induce- ments sufficient to fill the armory with Bellefonte people and their friends. Tick- ets for seventy-five cents can be gotten either from any member of the Club or at the door on the evening of the danee, plicit in stating what per cent. of the to- tal cost it represented.

Chairman Grimm, of the Water com- mittee, presented a very comprehensive statement of water.rent collected by Wm. A. Ishler covering the years 1907 to 1911 inclusive. The balance due and yet un- collected was given as about $850, but out of this amount exonerations were asked in the sum of $314.41, These exonera- tions were mainly for houses and other buildings from which the water had been turned off six months or the entire year, and council voted to grant the same. Bills to the amount of $1,229.39 were approved and council adjourned. a —.——— CHARTERS GRANTED.—A dispatch from Harrisburg states that on Tuesday char- ters were granted for seven electric com- panies to operate in townships in Centre county and to have offices in Bellefonte. The capital of each company is named at $5,000 and the incorporators are A. W. Lee, J. W. Wrigley and A. J. Musser, of Clearfield. The districts for which the charters were granted are Howard, Pot- ter, Boggs, Benner, Spring and College townships and Centre Hall borough. The same men also applied for charters for Howard, State College, Unionville and Milesburg boroughs and Union township, but there was nothing in the dispatch to indicate whether these were granted, re- fused or held under further considera. tion. The incorporators so far have de- clined to make public their object but it is rumored that they intend to utilize the Eagle creek to furnish - Ba Sani generate their current.

He made a trip through the town last Friday and just to show his liberali- ty left two little boys with Mr. and Mrs, Daniel O'Leary, who live in the McQuis- tion house, on west High street. As these were their first born they no doubt were just a little bit flustered at first, but all the same they are quite proud of the two little chaps, who are healthy, robust fellows. In the fore part of last week the Stork left a son at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Spearley, in Benner town- ship. f ev. | =A picture of unusual interest will be shown at the Scenic on Tuesday of next week, February 13th. It will be the most interesting scenes at the Durbar at Delhi, Ind., by the Pathe company. An idea of the enormity and gorgeousness of the Durbar can be gathered from the fact that in the big parade were one thousand gaily caparisoned elephants in addition to various other modes of conveyance. One thousand feet of film is used in showing this picture. A number of other feature films will be shown at the Scenic in the near future so in order to avoid missing any of them you should attend each even- ing. No extra charge is made for big features, five cents all the time. ——The great feature of the costume dance to be given as the Charity Ball, in the Armory Thursday evening, February 15th, will be the grand march beginning promptly at eight-thirty o'clock. Al- though the committees in charge have given everyone the privilege of using their own pleasure as to their dress, they would suggest that as many as possible go in costume, whether with or without a mask, to aid them in carrying out suc- cessfully their plans for the evening. The grand march will be composed only of those wearing masks, and no mask will be removed until half-after-nine, after which time the pleasure of the individual will be consulted as to the time of dis- closing his or her identity. The armory will be well heated and elaborately deco- orated, making it comfortable and most attractive for those not dancing. Tickets for seventy-five cents can be gotten from club members or at the door on the even- ing of the dance. ~——William Foster, brother of Hon. Robert M. Foster, of State College, with his wife came near being asphyxiated on Sunday night. The Fosters occupy a suite of apartments in Congressman Ben. K. Focht’s building at Lewisburg. Itis the building in which the Lewisburg News is printed and on Sunday the gas froze up and it was impossible to get a flow. Some person employed in the News office was in the building and on going home left several gas jetsopen. The gas people thawed out the gas Sunday even- ing and when it came on the flow from the open jets in the News office soon per- meated through the entire building. Mr. Foster, who several months ago was stricken with paralysis, was unable to get out of the building. Passersby smell- ed the escaping gas and notified Con- gressman Focht who got out of bed about eleven o'clock and went and turned off the gas. Mr. and Mrs. Foster were par- lin the fire. The loss, whatever it may be, | and whether the fire originated from defective wiring or not cannot be deter- | mined now as the wires were burned off ! i is entirely covered by insurance. | OP men { WARDEN FRANCIES TO BE SUPERINTEN- DENT OF CONSTRUCTION.—While official announcement of the fact has not yet been made public Governor Tener has | signified his intention of appointing war- | den John E. Francies, of the western penitentiary, general superintendent of construction of the new penitentia~y at Peru. As his duties in connection with the building of the new institution will i and Mr. Francies will move his tamily to Bellefonte and take up his residence here by the first of April so as to be on the ground constantly and push the work as rapidly as possible. The men who have been in Bellefonte since the Holidays searching the titles to the various properties will complete their work in another week or ten days, and just as sobn as this is done, everything proved correct and the deeds can be drawn up the money for the properties will be paid over and the legal transfer made to the State. While the present options run for ninety days Governor Tener and everybody concerned is anx- -ious to'get everything closed up within sixty days, if possible, which will mean before the first of March. LookiNg FOR HEADQUARTERS.—There is every evidence that many miles of state highway will be built throughout the State the coming summer, as overa half million dollars are now available for the work. Engineers have been engaged making surveys in various counties, one gang being at work in Pennsvalley the past week or so. To better facilitate the work of road building the State has been laid out in districts and Centre, Clearfield and Indiana counties constitute this dis- trict. Regular headquarters will be open- ed in each district, with an experienced engineer in charge. Mr. Anderson has been appointed engineer for this district and he was in. Bellefonte last Friday look- ing up the desirability of the town for es- tablishing permanent headquarters. He had already visited Indiana and Clear- field and while he was very favorably im- pressed with Bellefonte its location is rather against its being selected. The one way that Bellefonte might be select- ed as district highway headquarters is by having the Department change the district to either Clearfield, Centre and Clinton, or Clearfield, Centre and Union counties, which would make Bellefonte the logical headquarters town.
