PROCEEDINGS.—Seven mem- of borough council on Monday night and it took them only a few minutes over a half hour to transact all the business there was to do. There were no verbal or written communications and the only thing of importance in the reports of the various standing committees was the fact that the Water committee stated that the Y. M. C. A. swimming pool had been filled three times in the last two weeks. | When it came to the report of the Vil- | lage Improvernent committee Dr. Brock- | erhoff, chairman, stated that he had been | at a loss for some time to know what the duties of the committee were and that finally he asked a former chairman and and as so far he had not been embroiled in such an affair he would merely report | when his committee would be called upon | for great activity. meant the annual town—cleaning time there is no question about its being need- ed this year.—ED.] At the last meeting of council several matters were referred to the various com- mittees but as none of them had done much “investigating” they all reported | progress. Under the head of new business secre- tary W. T. Kelly stated that he was in | receipt of a letter from the American La- France Engine company stating that the Undine engine needed a new pole and | single trees and repairs on the suction valve; that these had not been consider- | ed in the contract for repairs and they | would do the work for $75.00, though their regular price was $125.00. The | contract was read to council and while the above items were not mentioned the Fire and Police committee, who made the contract, stated that the representa- tive of the company agreed to make the engine as good as new for the specified price. The secretary was instructed to write the company that so far as the pole and single trees were concerned they need not bother with them but that they would be expected to put the suction valve in good condition, so as to make the engine conform with the terms of their agreement. Upon the request of the board of aud- itors the secretary was empowered to purchase a book in which to transcribe or record the audit accounts. | he was re-appointed by Mr. Keller, presi- dent of council. Old notes for $500, $2,000, $5,000, and $1,200 were renewed; an old note for | $500 was increased to $800 and a new note for $800 authorized, after which | bills to the amount of $605.53 were ap- | proved and council Adjourned. | A SPRING FRESHET—A hard rain on | Thursday night of last week caused a | freshet on Friday that for a time looked | very threatening. Spring creek became rather turbulent and by ten o'clock had a six foot flood. The WATCHMAN office as usual came in for a ducking with from eighteen inches to two feet of water in the press room. A pig pen with three pigs was washed down stream but out- side of overflowing the low lands very little damage was done. Buffalo Run and the Bald Eagle were naturally high but did little damage. Up at State College it rained so hard that the gutters were not sufficient to carry away the surface water and the latter overflowed and filled the pool room in the new Robinson building to within fourteen inches of the ceiling. The pool room was leased by Medes and Meek, and was equipped with seven ta- bles. These tables were floated around and piled one on top of the other, the slate so badly cracked and the wood warped so as to render them almost worthless. Lewis Daggett, of this place, owned the cigar business in the room and had a stock worth seven hundred dollars. It was all ruined with the possi- ble exception of some of his pipes. He had no insurance. The pool room and cigar store had only been opened up a week before the flood. The pool room equipment cost $1,900, on which amount $300 had been paid. The balance of $1,600 is a loss that may have to be borne by the Brunswick-Balke Callender company, who furnished the tables, unless they can hold the owner of the building. CiviL SERVICE EXAMINATION.—A civil service examination for clerks and car- riers in the postoffice service will be held in Bellefonte on Saturday, April 13th. Application blanks can be secured by ap- plying to the secretary of the board at the Bellefonte postoffice or to the district secretary at Philadelphia. Such applica- tions must be filed with the district sec- retary not later than April 9th. BE —— TJ —— ~——Mrs. John W. McGarvey was given a delightful birthday surprise party at her ing. The affair was planned by her two daughters, Misses Blanche and Mary, and they carried it out so successfully that their mother had not the faintest suspicion of what was going on until her return home from a friend's house shortly after eight o'clock in the evening. —— Beginning last Monday all the stores in Bellefonte will remain open until eight o'clock in the evening until the mid-sum- mer closing time comes around. bers were present at the regular meeting | he told him it was to "fight the women,” “progress.” The doctor was promptly | informed that he was to “cheer up” as the time of year would soon be here [By that council | inaugurated by the Woman's club, and | * Sigmund Joseph's term as a member | ! of the board of managers of the Pruner | | Orphanage having expired on March first ! home on Bishop street last Friday even- | | ——1In his report for January Dr. Sam- uel Dixon, of the State Board of Health, | stated that there were over four thous- | and cases of measles in Pennsylvania; and that was before the report began to ' go in from Bellefonte. —-. Spring began yesterday and was ushered in with about ten inches of snow and sleet. The weather the fore part of ' the week was ideal and it seemed as if the long, hard winter was at an end. But | a blizzard from the northwest struck Cen. ! | tre county Wednesday night and although | ! the temperature did not fall as low as was predicted the fall of snow and sleet i was sufficient to emphasize the fact that summer is not yet here. —(e0. T. Bush ha has for the twentieth time just been elected as delegate from | Pennsylvania to the National Assembly of the League of American Wheelmen, to be held in Boston in September. The organization has done a great work in | the past in bringing forward the present agitation for good roads which is now | spreading over the entire country, and its hundred thousand members have now ' dwindled to a few thousand, principally : kept up for sentiment of the past. aha —Spring is here and though the | weather man says we will have more snow and cold such weather can’t last | very long and it will only be a few days! i | or weeks until we will be basking in days of sunshine and such delightful evenings | that the question naturally will be where and how to spend the time most pleas- | antly and profitably. There is probably | | no place in Bellefonte that offers all the { advantages of pleasure, profit and amuse- | ment as the Scenic. It is always clean { and well ventilated and the program of { moving pictures furnish a delightful | hour's entertainment and relaxation for | the small sum of five cents. Itis patron. ized by the best people i in Bellefonte. i FATALLY INJURED AT AT WHITEROCK QUAR- RIES.—Abner Gill was so fatally injured in an accident at the Whiterock quarries at Pleasant Gap last Saturday morning that he died in the Bellefonte hospital at five o'clock the same afternoon. Gill and Abraham Houser were working on | contract work quarrying stone. Satur- day morning they were engaged in try- ing to dislodge a rock weighing upwards of a ton. Not being able to do so both men started down the side of the quarry , to get some dynamite and had not gone far when the big stone fell. Houser man- | aged to get out of the way but Gill was caught by the rolling stone. He was brought to the hospital as soon as possi- ble and an examination disclosed the | fact that both legs were broken, the bones | of the lower part of the body crushed | and that he was seriously injured inter | | nally. Death ensued the same afternoon. | The unfortunate young man was a son (of*Mr. and Mrs. Jeremiah fill and was born at Pleasant Gap twenty-five years ago. In additicn to his parents he is' survived by two brothers and twosisters, | Merrill, of State College; Elmer G., Net- | tie and Lizzie at home.

Shuey, at Houserville, the contracting parties being their daughter, Miss Mabel Shuey and John C. Homan, a popular young school teacher. It was just twelve ' o'clock when the organ, played by Mrs. Sadie Stover, pealed forth the beautiful strains of the wedding march from Lohengrin and the bridal party marched into the parlor and took their position in front of an improvised altar, where they were united in the holy bonds of matri- mony by Rev. S. C. Stover, of Boalsburg, Following close upon the ceremony a delicious wedding breakfast was served and at two o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Homan left on a honeymoon trip to eastern cities. The young couple were the recipients of a large number of handsome and useful presents. Among the guests present were Mrs. Homan, mother of the bridegroom; Samuel Homan, Miss Mae Meyers, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Meyers, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Corl, Mr. and Mrs. George C. Mil- ler, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Dreiblebis and Mr. and Mrs. Kiah Hoy. SHOWERS—WATKINS. —On Wednesday afternoon 'Arthur Fearon Showers and Miss Emma N. Watkins, two well known young people of Bellefonte, drove to Cen- tre Hall and going to the parsonage of the Lutheran church were united in mar- riage by the pastor, Rev. Fred W. Barry. The ceremony was performed at seven o'clock in the evening and upon their return home they were captured by their friends and as a serenade were hauled around the town in a spring wagon. The bride has for a number of years past been an operator in the Com- mercial telephone exchange and is an | obliging young woman. The bridgroom is a son of the late Samuel Showers and is a barber by trade, for a number of years past working in Kern's barber shop. The WATCHMAN extends con- gratulations to the happy young couple. CADW ION On Monday even- ing Jack Caldwell and Mrs. Lucy Lyon, both of this place, were united in mar- riage by justice of the peace W. H. Mus- ser, at his office in the Crider building. ARRESTED FOR DYNAMITING POR Fisi.— | John Jackson, of Lemont, was arrested ' Spring creek for suckers on or about "last Saturday charged with dynamiting | March 7th, and at a hearing before jus- tice of the peace W. H. Musser on Tues- day morning was pronounced guilty and | a fine of one hundred dollars and costs | imposed. Jackson refused to pay the fine and gave notice that he would appeal | of $500, IL. J. Dreese going his security. The arrest was made on information sworn to by Jacob P. Sizer, a fish warden of Huntingdon, who got his tip through an anonymous letter sent the fish com- missioner at Harrisburg. At the hearing Mrs. John Glenn testi- | the case to court giving bail in the sum | | ville. Pa., fied that on March 7th she saw Jackson running up along Spring creek and that his hands were very red,as if he had held them in cold water. E. C. Tressler, who was out fox hunting that day, saw Jack- son but stated that he hadn't any fish in his possession at that time. Richard Pal- mer stated that he saw Jackson arrive at his own home with a bag and that he emptied the bag and he was sure he saw mer stated that he was in the corn crib looking through the slats and that he | | oo ors 0 oath, saw Jackson through a window in the Jackson kitchen. John Glenn and John | , Lisle testified that when they were going | stream. They were suckers and floating | on their backs. he saw Jackson and he didn’t have any- | thing at that time. Charles Getz testified [to buying a stick of dynamite from ' Darius Hite but stated that he got it for the purpose of blowing out a stump and + had the explosive with him to prove that he had not furnished Jackson with dyna- mite. Col. H. S. Taylor represented Jackson and at the conclusion of the evidence he | maintained that the game warden had failed to make out a case, but Squire ! Musser declared he was satisfied and sentenced Jackson as | stated above. FAREWELL T TO CENTRE CouNTY.—At i noon on Monday James J. Gramley, for- mer treasurer of Centre county, gave final farewell to friends about here and departed for Freeport, Ill, where he ex- pects to spend the remainder of his life in the home of his sons, who are prosper- | ous farmers in that locality. The departure of Mr. Gramley is not without its pathetic side. Born and rais- ed in Centre county the ties of friendship that held him here were only severed when, with his family all scattered and age creeping on to warn him that should | illness befall there would be none of his own to care for him, he realized that | dear as are the scenes of his early strug- gles and pleasures they count for little _in the sunset of life unless one has his own kin about him. Few men within our knowledge have | been just like Jim Gramley. We never knew a harder worker nor abigger heart- ed neighbor. In fact stories of his energy and willingness to do for others will ling- er long among the best of the folk stories ‘of Centre county. Itis told of him that while Treasurer of the county his horse ! and buggy happened to be at his farm near Zion when a neighbor wanted to borrow it to go to a funeral. Of course Jim said he could have it and there be- ing no other way to get the conveyance to Bellefonte the quaint old man walked the five miles to Zion and drove the horse up so that the neighbor would not be disappointed. ‘RETIRED AFTER FORTY-THREE YEARS SERVICE.—William Henderson Bing, the oldest engineer on the Tyrone division in point of service voluntarily retired from ! active service on March first and will be placed on the pension roll. Bing was born in Coatesville on November 4th, 1846, hence is in his sixty-sixth year. He came to Bellefonte in 1868 and went to work as a brakeman on the Bellefonte and Snow Shoe railroad on September first, Three years later he was promoted to a fireman. In 1872 he was put in ‘the old Snow Shoe shops in this place and work- ed on repairing engines until 1880 when he was made master mechanic. When fhe Snow Shoe was taken over by the Pennsylvania railroad and made a part of the Tyrone division Mr. Bing was made master mechanic of the Tyrone shops. He held the position only a few months when he was made an engineer at his own request and has handled the throt- tle ever since. His railroad service rec- ord stretches over a continuous period of forty-three years, the past * twenty-one of which have been spent as an engineer. Mr. Bing is well known by many resi- dents of Bellefonte and they all hope that he may have many years of life left in which to recount and ruminate upon the many incidents of his career as a knight of the throttle. ——0On Monday morning Joseph Brown the sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Brown, of Penn street, got on the early Bellefonte Central railroad train and after bantering some of the pas- sengers proceeded to dispose of some of his clothing and then laid down in the aisle and went through the performance of being in swimming. Realizing that the young man's mind was temporarily af- fected the train was stopped and the services of policeman Harry Dukeman solicited to remove him from the train: He was taken to jail where he was kept in confinement until Tuesday when he had somewhat improved and he was taken home to be properly cared for.
