the paving would be made right.
A communication was received from
the county commissioners asking council
to pay one-third of the cost of building ;
the new High street bridge, or $2,916.66;
and stating that as the county is in need
of funds they would like to have the
money now. This led to an airing of the
liability of the borough for the building
| of the bridge. A year or more ago when
, arrangements were made for rebuilding |
the old bridge at an expenditure of $4,- |
500 council, through the Street commit-

the cost thereof, or $1,500. When the |

Mrs. Gearhart, who has been in Belle-

| left on Monday to join her husband at |
street, last Saturday evening. 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.

“of council was held on the evening of
October 5th, and a resolution was unan-
imously passed pledging the borough to
' pay $1,500 of the cost of the new bridge.
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

—An invitation is given every one to join
the Clubwomenin their charity costume
dance, to be given in the Armory, Thurs-
day evening, February 15th. 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.

of like amount; providing that the rate
of discount would not exceed five per
cent.

to the first Monday in December, 1911,
and on mction the same was accepted
‘and referred to the Finance committee
and borough solicitor for investigation and
if found correct they were empowered to
have the same printed.
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.

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 -

——1L. C. Bullock, of Milesburg, is hav-
ing serious trouble with his eyes. In
1906 a spawl from a piece of steel flew
into his left eye penetrating the pupil.
He had constant trouble with it until Ju-
ly of last year when he lost the sight of
that eye. Of late his right eye has been
affected somewhat through sympathy for
the other eye and specialists whom he
has consulted advise the removal of the

| =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.

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 !

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.
