FIRST AID TO THE INJURED LECTURE.
~Dr. Matthew J. Shields, a field repre-
sentative of the Red Cross society, was
in Bellefonte last Saturday morning and
lectured on first aid to the injured to the
plant department of the Bell Telephone
company of Pennsylvania and all others
who cared to hear him. The lecture was
given in the hall of the Bush Arcade and
a good crowd was present.
The purpose of Dr. Shields’ lecture is
to teach men how to handle any emer-
gency case while workmg far from a
place where a doctor can be secured, and
fo reduce the mortality rate of accidents
as much as possible. The doctor gave
demonstrations of how accidents should
be handled, such as a severed artery,
broken arm or leg, electric burns, drown-
ing, axphixiation, etc., accompanying his
practicums with minute explanations of
how each case should be handled.
Many accident cases result fatally be-
cause the injured man is not given
prompt and proper attention. To min-
imize this danger as largely as possible
the Bell Telephone company is equipping
each one of its gangs with a first-aid kit,
which contains antiseptic bandages,
splints, acids to be used in case of burns
and ammonia capsules to be used in case
of an electric shock or overcome by gas.
To explain the proper use of these things
and demonstrate the method of produce

pox patient. The first case was Gilbert
Smith, a son of Jacob Smith, of Bishop
street. He was taken ill on January 2nd
and the latter part of last week his at-
tending physician pronounced his ailment
chickenpox. On Sunday evening, how-
ever, the case was diagnosed as smallpox
and the house was quarantined Monday
morning, all the family leaving with the
exception of Mrs. Smith. The sick man
is thirty-;#o years old and unmarried.
On Monday morning the home of
Harry Irvin, on south Water street, was
quarantined on the report of a physician,
who gave Mrs. Irvin as a victim of the
disease. When a policeman went to the
Irvin home to put up the quarantine card
he found the alleged patient in the
yard finishing the family wash. Monday
evening another physician reported
Morris Smith, of Logan street, ill with
the disease and the home was quarantin-
ed on Tuesday morning.
In the meantime the State Board of
Health had been communicated with and
Dr. C. J. Hunt, chief medical inspector,
came to Bellefonte Monday afternoon.
He made a thorough investigation of ex-
isting conditions and stated that in his
opinion the disease was not the genuine
smallpox but abortive smallpox. It is
manifest in a breaking out on the face
and body then might disappear for a day
or two only to break out again.
How the smallpox germs were carried
to Bellefonte, if smallpox it is, is a mys-
tery. None of the victims of the alleged
disease have been away from the town
for some time, but one man who visited
in the town it is claimed was
from an infected district. Various theo-
ries are being advanced and much specu-
lation indulged in by doctors and the
public at large but so far as the writer
can learn there is nothing definite.
In the meantime there is hardly any
cause for a serious scare. The situation
is well in hand and if any new cases de-
velop they will be promptly quarantined
and every precaution used to prevent
any spread of the disease.
OLD WASHINGTON FURNACE PROPERTY
T0 CHANGE HANDS.—A deal has prac-
tically been closed for the sale of the old
lumbering firm of William Witmer & Co.
The property embraces about fifteen
thousand acres, most of which is moun-
tain and woodland, and was at one time
owned by James McHenry. He died
many years ago and through marriage
the heirs to the property became so
numerous that in order to keep their in,
terests identical an organization was
made called the Associated Estates cor-
poration and each heirs interest was
allotted by stock in the concern. It was
from this corporation that Mr. Steele
made the purchase.
the deals means. There is considerable
second growth timber on the land and
credence is given the story that lumber-
ing operations will be started there by
William Witmer & Co. But while deal-
ing for the land Mr. Steele himself made
the statement that he was purchasing
reforestation, That expert foresters
would be put to work there and thous-
ands of trees planted each year until the
entire tract was replanted and in good
growing order. In the meantime the
public can await the outcome.
Bips FOR NITTANY FURNACE.—Several
weeks ago the WATCHMAN published the
fact that bids were being solicited for the
dismantling of the Nittany furnace plant
and as evidence that junk dealers con-
sider it a good opportunity to clear up
some money is the fact that over a score
of individuals and firms are figuring on
it. When the nail works plant was dis-
mantled a few years ago it was secured
by a Philadelphia concern for about six
thousand dollars. This bid was consid.
ered high by local people who bid five
thousand, but the Philadelphia people
were practical junk men and they clean-
ed up over ten thousand dollars on the
deal.
Nothing definite is yet known about the
bids being submitted for Nittany furnace
but it is alleged they range anywhere
from eight thousand dollars upward.
Severz! Bellefonte people will submit
bids,if they have not already doneso. The
successful bidder will be required to en-
tirely dismantle the plant and remove all
the debris, and that will close the history
of this old and well known furnace plant.
The work of dismantling will not take
place until after April first.
——Word was received in Bellefonte
the past week of the marriage of Edward
