MERCHANT CoMMITS SUICIDE.—Samuel
M. Bell, a well known merchant of Boals-
burg, committed suicide yesterday morn-
ing by shooting himself in the head with
a 45 calibre revolver. The shooting took
place in Mr. Bell's bedroom about seven
o'clock in the morning. The neighbors
heard two shots and going upstairs to in-
vestigate found Mr. Bell lying in a heap
on the floor with his head fallen forward
into an open trunk. An investigation
showed that the bullet had penetrated
the head at the right temple. Mr. Bell
was still alive but unconscious and death
ensued about eight o'clock.
Coroner P. S. Fisher, of Zion, was at
once notified of the suicide but as he is
unable to go out he deputized justice of
the peace W. A. Murray, of Boalsburg,
to hold the necessary inquest required
by law. While the findings of the coro-
ner’s jury have not been learned at this
writing it is a plain case of suicide, and
so far there have been no developments
to show the cause for the man’s rash act.
Mr. Bell was about fifty-seven years of
age and had been a resident of Boals-
burg all his life. His first wife died a
number of years ago and less than a year
ago he was married to a Harrisburg wom-
an, herself a widow with four children.
So far as known his domestic relations
have been as congenial as the ordinary
family. Arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been made.
WOMEN IN LITIGATION.—Mrs. Harris
Ingram, who lives on Muncy mountain
above Julian, is under three hundred dol-
lars bail for her appearance in court to
answer the charge of holding up Mrs.
Emory Beals, Esther Boyer, Estella Wel-
lers and Esther Chandler with a shot gun
and firing at them; and the four latter
women are under the same amount of
bail for trespass and carrying concealed
weapons.
The gist of the cross cases are that on
Thursday of last week the four women
went up on Muncy mountain to pick
blackberries and, according to their allega
tion, when they were returning home
they were held up by Mrs. Ingram and
compelled to deliver to her all their ber-
ries, after which they were commanded
to “git” and they “got;” and while they
were “gotting” Mrs. Ingram fired a shot,
but whether at them or not the plaintiffs
did not know, because they were too
busy getting away.
On the other hand Mrs. Ingram stated
that while there were plenty of berries
on the mountain the four women had
purposely gone onto her land and picked
her blackberries; and further, tore down
trespass notices that she had putup as a
warning to keep off of her property. That
when they were on their way home they
stopped in front of her house and while
one of them flourished a revolver they
all called her vile names, etc. Under
such conflicting evidence the only thing
that’ Squire Musser could do on Saturday
was hold the bunch for trial.
NEGRO WOMEN'S CLuBS.—The ninth
annual convention of the Pennsylvania
State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs
is being held this week in the A. M. E.
church on St. Paul street. About forty
delegates are in attendance and the ex-
ercises are very interesting. Atthe open-
ing session on Wednesday morning ad-
dresses of welcome were made by Rev. J,
P. Blackburn on behalf of the church;
Mrs. Catharine Green on behalf of the
club; Mrs. Carrie Blackburn on behalf of
the Missionary society; Mrs. Lettie Car-
ter on behalf of the B. Wheeler club and
Mrs. Florence Overton on behalf of the
Stewardess club. Responses were made
by Mrs. Ella Brooks and Mrs. R. S. An-
derson, after which the state president,
Mrs. Rebecca Aldridge, delivered her an-
nual address. Quite a number of impor-
tant subjects have already been discuss-
ed, and will come up for discussion be-
fore the convention closes this (Friday)
afternoon.
STATE HIGHWAY TO BE BUILT BETWEEN
STATE COLLEGE AND LEMONT.—Work
will be begun this week on the building
of a state highway between State College
and Lemont, a distance of a little over
two miles. The survey giving grades,
etc, has been completed and engineer
John T. Gephart, of Clearfield, will be
here the latter part of the week to start
the work. Inasmuch as it is the desire
to complete the iob before winter sets in
alarge force of men will be employed.
Quarrymen, especially, are wanted, as
most of the stone will be quarried on the
farms along the road and crushed on the
ground. The work will be started in the
neighborhood of Thompson's spring and
be continued toward Lemont. This will
be the first link in the state highway
that will eventually connect State Col-
lege and Bellefoate.
A FINE BUTTER Cow.—While bringing
a newly purchased cow down the Bald
Eagle valley road on Wednesday imple-
ment dealer John Dubbs had an experi-
ence that convinced him that cows can
be very disagreeable critters when they
want to. In fact this particular “bossy”
either didn't like to leave her old home
or wasn't taken with the looks of her
new owner, for he had scarcely gotten
started on the way down the valley when
she went on a rampage and butted him
clear through a rail fence. If you know
John you know how big a hole that must
have made in the fence and what a pow-
erful butter that new cow of his must be-

ers will sing in the Presbyterian church,

—The fact that the cattle sheds have
been moved to a more accessible place on
the fair grounds is responsible for a
quickened interest in the stock exhibit
for the coming exhibition. Already more
entries have been proposed in this de-
partment than ever before.

———The Bellefonte Motor club has re-
ceived an invitation from the committee
of arrangements of the Loyal War Gov-
ernors semi-centennial celebration at
Altoona to take part in the motor parade
in that city on Tuesday, September 24th.
While the Bellefonte Motor club has not
been a very active organization of late
secretary M. I. Gardner has the invita-
tion and will extend it to all Bellefonte
automobilists who care to make the trip
at that time.
——A bright light will attract moths
in great numbers, a fact that is very no-
ticeable on Bellefonte streets at night,
and a bright and interesting motion pic-
ture show will draw large audiences every
night. This is the case at the Scenic.
Manager Brown always endeavors to
give the public something unusually good,
if it can be had on the market, without
sparing expense, and the admission price
always remains the same. This evening
the feature film will be “Martin Chuz-
zlewit.”
——The opening of the Bellefonte pub-
lic schools will occur on Monday, Sep-
tember 9th, in just a few days over two
weeks, and the indications are for a large
enrollment of pupils. In fact there are
quite a number more applications for ad-
mission to the High school from non-
residents of the town than in any former
year. The new courses to be established
in the High school will place it on a plane
with High schools in the second and third
class cities and this is likely one reason
for the large number of applications.
——Councilmen Beezer and Brocker-
hoff of the South ward, and Judge and
Cherry of the West ward, with secretary
W. T. Kelly were the only representation
of borough council present in the coun-
cil chamber on Monday evening, the reg-
ular meeting night, and as four members
do not constitute a quorum there natur-
ally was no meeting, although everybody
waited until almost eight o'clock in the
hope that some tardy member might turn
up. Of course about the only persons
who suffered any inconvenience were the
borough employees, whose pay roll was
not passed upon at that time.
—At the July meeting of the Wom-
an's Auxiliary of the Bellefonte hospital,
Mrs. Joseph Ceader was elected presi-
dent, Miss Mary M. Blanchard, secretary
and Mrs. John M. Shugert treasurer. The
board to consist of representatives from
each of the churches as follows: Metho-
dist, Mrs. F. W. Crider, Mrs. J. E. Ward
and Mary Gray Meek; Catholic, Mrs.
Joseph Ceaderand Mrs. Sheldon; Presby-
terian, Mrs. Harry Yeager and Mrs.
Hastings; Reformed, Mrs. R. S. Brouse
and Mrs. M. B. Garman; Episcopal, Mrs.
John Shugert and Mrs. Charles Morris;
Lutheran, Mrs. Denius and Mrs. Thomas
Hazel; United Brethren, Mrs. Julia
Barlett and Mrs. Wilson Laird. Mrs. M.
Fauble a member of the old board has
kindly consented to serve and the repre-
sentatives from the Evangelical church
have not been elected.
—For the third time within twenty
months Harry Harvey, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Irvin M. Harvey, of State College,
went under the surgeon's knife on Wed-
nesday, when he was operated on by Dr.
Louis Lanzer, of New York city. His af-
fliction came from a bruise on the leg
which developed into a growth, necessi-
tating an operation for its removal. This
operation was performed in the Belle-
fonte hospital in December, 1910. Some
weeks later a second operation was nec-
essary but after a long siege in the hos-
pital he was able to go home. He never
fully recovered but was able to go around
on crutches and in order to effect a per-
manent cure another operation was deem-
ed necessary. Consequently Dr. Lanzer,
an eminent New York surgeon, was sum-
moned and the operation was performed
in the Bellefonte hospital on Wednesday
morning. It is now the opinion of the
physicians that a speedy cure will follow.
——Misses Emma Jane Aiken and
Mary Gray Meek, two of the walking
delegates of the Woman's Civic club,
nearly came to blows with machinist
James Seibert Monday morning. They
were authorized by the club to purcuase
a street flushing nozzle for the fire hose
of the town so that the paved streets
might be washed off regularly and kept
so that the members of the club don't
have to run home and put a fresh coat of
“blanco” on their white shoes after every
trip down town. They made the pur-
chase all right, but when the nozzle came
it was found that the screw-thread in it
would not fit the hose couplings. Some
one told the ladies that the thread in the
nozzle was wrong and that possibly Jim
Seibert could fix it for them. According-
ly the committee visited Seibert's shop
and both members began to talk at once,
of course. Being a modest man Mr.
Seibert was more or less embarrassed and
couldn't figure out what they meant when
they told him that they wanted the
“string” in the nozzle fixed. Words were
flying thick and fast and Jim was making
“get-away” glances at his side door when
an apprentice boy in his place suggested
that possibly the ladies meant the thread
in the nozzle instead of the “string,” as
they were calling it, and the storm sub-
sided.
disposal and they arrived about 2 o'clock.
After a visit to the Big Spring and a few
other places of interest they assembled
on the court house lawn, where chairs
had been placed, and a large crowd was
in waiting to hear the concert which they
had volunteered to give.
There were about thirty-five men inthe
band under thedirection of Frank Shoen-
doerfer, The first number was a heavy
march splendidly executed; then came a
| tripple-tongue barytone solo. Before the
first measure of it had been played
through the crowd realized that very
superior musicians were at work with a
soloist whose tones and execution are not
often heard outside the best professional
bands. The soloist was Herbert McCoy,
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles McCoy, of
Thomas street, this place, and he got his
musical start on our old Coleville band.
It has graduated some decidedly classy
players and Herbert showed his old
friends here that he is entitled to rank
up among ihe foremost of them. A very
pretty waltz, a medley of popular songs
and “America” concluded the program.
Just long enough to be tantalizing because
we couldn't have more but long enough
to show that Jersey Shore has a band
that she probablyisn’t half proud enough
of and long enough to give Bellefonte a
most complimentary concert.
——John L. Nighthart, the barber, has
been limping with one foot the past
week on account of getting that very
useful member run over by an automo-
bile, he avers. The accident happened
at noon last Friday when M. I. Gardner
very kindly asked Mr. Nighthart to ride
from his home down town. At the
Brockerhoff house Mr. Gardner slowed
down the car to let A. M. Barr out, and
at the same time Mr. Nighthart got out
and in turning the car to get around
another vehicle the rear wheel went over
Nighthart's foot, or rightly speaking
three of his toes. No bones were brok-
en but the toes are pretty sore.

-—A week or so ago a Pittsburgh
woman whose husband was in the em-
ploy of the Pennsylvania railroad compa-
py, demonstrated her ingenuity and abil-
ity to get fresh berries for her family
use. Securing a pass for herself she
came from Pittsburgh to Scotia, this
county, where she went into the woods
and picked huckleberries. The next day
she left for home with two strong paper
boxes full of berries, the two of them
completely filling a spacious suit case,
The only cost of the berries to her was
her labor of picking them, and this she
termed a delightful outing in the woods.
