As told ex- clusively in last week's WATCHMAN war- den John Francies and the entire prison commission composed of C. A. Rook, president; W. E. Sankey, William Price, John M. Egan and T. B. Foley, accom- evening with the legal acceptance of the options and affidavits. All but two of the day morning and the legal papers were signed and witnessed. They were all en- tered for record in the recorder’s office | in the court house Saturday forenoon. The conveyance of the various prop- erties is now only a matter of looking up some minor detailsin the titles to a few of the tracts, information as to which it is up to the present owners to furnish. are two farms which it is the desire of the commission to have conveyed first and as soon as this is done the other tracts will be conveyed as fast as the titles are cleared up and deeds executed. The money will be paid promptly upon the conveyance of the property. This final work is in the hands cf the Potter . Abstract company. Mr. Francies was sworn in at Harris- burg last week as general sunerintendent of construction of the new penitentiary and he is credited with giving out a state- ment in effect that the quarrying of stone and preparing the site for the buildings would be begun before many weeks. GOO cn Joun W. Beck GETS OFF WITH FINE AND Costs.— John W. Beck, the State College postoffice clerk who was arrested on January 16th for tampering with the United States mail, plead guilty in the United States district court at Scranton on Monday and was sentenced to the payment of a fine of one hundred dollars and costs. The court took into consid- eration the fact that it was Beck's first offense and that the amount of money he realized out of the affair was necessarily small. Beck's practice, it will be remem- bered was to remove cancelled stamps of the larger denominations and when a package would be mailed at the office would first lightly attach good stamps then subsequently remove them and paste on the cancelled stamp and recancel the same with the State College stamp. A postoffice inspector ferreted out the mats ter and Beck was arrested. He admitted his guilt at the time and was held under ance before the United States court. Harry Keller Esq., represented Beck be- fore that tribunal and his plea for leniency helped to get him off with the compara- tively light sentence named above. OPENING OF SWIMMING Poor. — The formal opening of the ten thousand dol- lar swimming pool, the generous gift of Mrs. William P. Wilson to the Bellefonte Young Men's Christian Association, took place on Thursday evening of last week and attracted a large crowd, as the pub- lic in general were invited. While no set program had been arranged Wallace W. Gephart made the presentation speech on behalf of the donor and the same was re- ceived for the Association by Mr. Charles M. McCurdy, president of the board of directors. * The pool, which is seventy feet in length, is larger than the average asso- ciation pool. The water is from three to nine feet deep and heated to a tempera- ture of sixty degrees, while the building is kept at a temperature ranging between seventy and seventy-five degrees, so that both are perfectly comfortable and swim- ming can be indulged in without any danger of contracting a cold. Naturally the pool has been well patronized by members of the association ever since it was opened, and there is no doubt that it will prove a benefit as well as a pleasure to the people of Bellefonte. POW m— WANTED ON MORE SERIOUS CHARGE. —Last week's WATCHMAN contained an account of the arrest of Jacob B. Lucas, of Punxsutawney, but formerly of Run- ville, on the charge of kidnapping his own seven year old daughter and making | threats, and his incarceration in the Cen- tre county jail. On Friday officers from Punxsutawney arrived in Bellefonte with a warrant for Lucas’ arrest, charging him with a grave crime against his own daugh- ter. Owing to the fact that there was some doubt as to whether the man could be convicted and punished for the alleged crime committed here, and because of the seriousness of the crime he was charged with in Jefferson county, the local authorities discharged the case and turn- ed Lucas over to the Punxsutawney con- stable ‘who took him the same day to Brookville and landed him in the Jeffer- son county jail. Lucas is a man over fifty years of age and if convicted of the crime charged against him cannot escape a long term in the penitentiary. ——The Meyer sale of household goods, office furniture, law library, etc., on Sat- urday afternoon amounted to a littie over twelve hundred dollars.

Consider- able of the dirt accumulation of the en- tire winter has been frozen up there for weeks and as soon as the ice melts the street ought to be thoroughly flushed, as a good sanitary Precaution, ~—80 far the the weather hereabouts has been against all outside practice by can- didates for the Bellefonte Academy base- ball team, and this fact is cause for more or less concern on the part of the captain and management as they are scheduled to open the season in a game with the State College nine on Saturday, March 30th. The Academy has some very promising material and the outlook is for a good team. A comparatively small audios was present in Garman'’s opera house on Sat- urday evening to witness the performance of Keene, the magician. Some of his tricks were real interesting and very much on the wizard-like order. Mr. Keene is a resident of Carlisle and his real name is Culberson. He is an old football player and years ago played in a contest in which George T. Bush and Col. H. S. Taylor were both members of the opposing team, —Having disposed ot his trolley interests in’ and about Philipsburg Charles H. Rowland, of that town, will become a coal operator, as he and several other gentlemen have purchased the Hillside colliery on the Steiner estate south of Philipsburg, from Jacob Swires, receiver of the Jason Coal company. It is the purpose of the purchasers to equip the mine with modern electric machinery, which will largely increase the output of the same. From two to three hundred men will be given employment. ——If moving picture makers would consult the interests of the box office they would devote more of their efforts to reproducing standard and popular plays, as was evidenced by the drawing capacity of both Cinderella and Vanity Fair, on their recent exhibition in moving pictures at the Scenic. But as long as they refrain from so doing moving pic- ture houses can exhibit only what they do produce. But from this collection manager T. Clayton Brown always gets the best it is possible to book and that is the reason the Scenic has become stand- ardized as giving one of the best shows in the State. On Tuesday orders were issped for the entire closing down of the ore wash- ers at Scotia. Notwithstanding the fact that both the Nittany and Bellefonte fur- naces have been closed down for almost two years the ore washers at Scotia have been kept in operation part of the time washing and rejigging the dump that has accumulated there in the past years. But the uncertainty in the iron market and the low price of ore have at last had their effect and the works have been shut | down. All the old employees with the exception of night and day watchmen will have to look elsewhere for employ- ment. William Burnside will hold his position in order to look after the com. pany’s property. ——A majority of the Bellefonte mer- chants are complaining of dull times and no business. It is probably true that business has frequently been better in Bellefonte than it is now, but there may be another reason why business is dull with so many of the home merchants. Scan the advertising columns of any of the Bellefonte papers and you will find that less than one-fourth of the mer- chants are regular advertisers. Naturally a man who keeps a store always has something to sell, but if he is anxious to get rid of it, or any bargains to offer he must let the people know it. It is the man who advertises diligently that gets ‘the biggest share of the business when times are dull. Everybody is looking for ‘a bargain and they all go where the most enticing offer is made.

This society ap- propriated $13,799 for the support of its missionaries and in turn paid into the conference treasury $3,843.74, and for all purposes, $9,794.55. Splendid work was done by the mis- sionaries in their respective fields. Over $12,000 was paid on their indebtedness. The treasurer's account shows that after paying all the expenses of the year, amounting to $15,700.71, there remains in ; $7,122.61. At Monday morning's session action | was taken toward the establishment of a | church at State College, but no definite plans announced.

Total value »f church properities, $1,129. 789. At the closing session on Tuesday morning Lewisburg was selected as the place of meeting next year after which the appointments were read and the con- ference adjourned. Rev. J. F. Hower, who has been pastor of the Bellefonte church the past three years, was appointed to the Scranton church, on the Lewisburg district, and Rev. L C. Shearer was appointed to the Northumberland circuit. The Centre county appointments in the Centre dis- trict are as follows: H. A. Benfer, Presiding Elder. Bellefonte—A. F. Weaver. Bellefonte Circuit—]J. H. Fleckenstein, Centre Hall—S. A. Snyder. Howard—M. J. Snyder. Millheim—W. J. Dice. Nittany—R. S. Daubert. Rebersburg—J. F. Bingaman. Spring Mills—John M. Price. Bishop U. F. Swengel, D. D., Lewistown, First church; S.W. Seibert, Newport; E. L. Kessler, Millheim; J. D. Leister, Mexico. THE Trout OUTLOOK.—The trout fish- ing season will open just one month from today and naturally every fisherman in the county is anxiously wondering what the conditions will be at that time; not only as to weather but whether trout will be scarce or plentiful. The extreme cold weather of the past winter froze the water in many of the smaller streams solid to the bottom and while some fish- ermen are of the opinion that the trout were frozen in the ice, the probability is that most of them sought shelter in larger streams and deep pools. This is substantiated in a way in Fishing creek, where the deep pools have been dynamit- ed during the past month; it is alleged, and hundreds of trout secured by un- known parties. If such is the case in Fishing creek it will likely hold good in _| every large stream in the county. Spring creek and Logan's branch never freeze up, no matter how cold the weather, so that the trout in these streams would not be affected, but at that they are not believed to be very plentiful. However, trout or no trout, it is quite likely the usual large number of tishermen will be arrayed along the banks of every stream in the county when the season opens on April fifteenth. Miss Ruth Stevenson, of Red Bank, Pa., were quietly married at the hotel in Blanchard at nine o'clock on Sunday evening. The ceremony was performed by Rev. S. S. Clark, of Baltimore, a stu- dent at the Crozier theological seminary at Chester. The marriage wasthe culmi- nation of a romance that is said to have had its beginning in a newspaper matri- monial advertisement. BRUNGARD—SNYDER.—~Joseph F. Brun- gard, of Salona, and Miss Eva M.

Lederer who gave musical farce or musical comedy most of the wrinkles that made the feminine choruses of the Lederer shows distinctive from the vocal feminine auxiliaries of the average Broad- way musical production. It was Lederer who first introduced a whistling number, and it was he who changed the fashions in popular chorus deities from just plain “chorus” girls to “show” girls, and from these to girls in long skirts. Employing only blonde girls at one time, and brunettes at another and swinging the style from girls of generous physical amplitude to tiny feminine charmers, were other successful whimsies. In “Madame Sherry” the manager has found a new quirk in his treatment of the hand- some feminine pulchritude that separately constitute the singing and dancing fem. inine ensembles of the production, which is described as a “Talking chorus.” Watch for the appearance of this big musical comedy. ~The Susquehanna glee club will give a concert in the court house on Tuesday evening, March 26th.
