There is hardly any doubt but that many of the fires were deliberately and maliciously started and one reason why such a large acreage was burned over is because of the lack of men to fight the same. A number of timber land owners have criticised the Pennsylvania Forest Fire Protective association, recently organized in this county, for lack of efficiency, but the criticism is very unjust. The asso- ciation only aims to protect the land in- cluded within the boundaries of its mem- bership, and not all the timber lands in Centre county, and this has been done pretty effectively. J. M. Hoffman, the secretary and forester of the association, was in Bellefonte last Saturday, and stated that during a part of April and all of May he has had twenty-six men at work guarding the lands over which they have charge and cutting and clearing out fire roads. That while a number of fires have broken out on said lands they were all extinguished the same day and with- out doing any great amount of damage. By the middle of June they expect to have the land well covered with fire roads, when they will be better able to fight any fire that may break out. Signal stations will be established during the summer and when the association has money enough to justify it a telephone service will be installed over the entire territory. ACADEMY BASEBALL.—At three o'clock tomorrow, (Saturday) afternoon the Wil- liamsport High school baseball team will be the Academy’s opponents on Hughes field in the next to the last game of the season. The usual price will prevail and lovers of the sport are urged to turn out and see the game. The last game the Academy will play this year will be on Hughes field Friday, June 6th, when the strong University of Pittsburgh team will be their opponents. This will be “business men’s day,” and the game will be called at 2.30 o'clock to allow everybody to attend. Coming on Friday afternoon, when there is very lit- tle business in the stores, the business men of the town would pay a fine com- pliment to the Academy and its baseball team if they would close their places of business from 2.30 to 4.30 o'clock to al- low their employees an opportunity to see this last game; and also go out and see it themselves. It will be the last chance you will have to see the Acade- my star players, as this is the last year for a number of them. more serious injuries is a marvel. i —— see —— | ——When you're in doubt as to where | to spend your evenings, try the Scenic. | When you want to see the best moving | pictures shown in Bellefonte go to the Scenic. It you merely follow the crowd | | you'll land at the Scenic, and all this is | evidence that it is the most popular pic- ture show in this or surrounding towns. This is the reason it is always well patro- | nized. The price is always the same, five cents. ——On Sunday morning Joseph Ceader | Jr., drove up in front of the family home | on Allegheny street and when he went | to jump out of the buggy his feet caught |in the lines, throwing him out on the i curb and pavement. He sustained a bad |cut on the head and at first it was thought his hip was broken but fortu- | nately it proved nothing worse than a ' bad wrench of the muscles and by Mon- day afternoon he was able to go to school. | ——Mrs. Mary Robb, wife of George | Robb, who lives along the mountain {above Coleville, celebrated her birth- | day on Tuesday evening by inviting a houseful of neighbors and a few friends from Bellefonte in to spend the evening. Of course to spend the evening meant to partake of one of those big spreads that Mrs. Robb is famous in preparing and it was well along toward midnight when the crowd dispersed to their various homes. ——Robert and Sameul Bell, sons of S. I. Bell, caretaker and steward at the Nittany Country club, last week purchas- ed Keichline’s taxi. The young men have located at Hecla and are engaged in buying and shipping eggs and country produce to the city, and will use the taxi in their trips over the county. Parties going from Bellefonte to the club by train can, if they so desire, secure the service of the taxi for the return trip home. ——The Nittany Valley railroad, run. ning from the Nittany furnace to the junction with the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania, wili be dismantled and everything sold. This will include sev- eral miles of track, a few cars, one or two light engines, etc. Notices of the sale are now being sent out by the board of directors. The decision to dismantle the Nittany furnace takes away all ex- cuse for the Nittany Valley road hence the determination to tear it up. — ——A complete telephone system will shortly be installed in the Brockerhoff house, to include a telephone in every room and an exchange in the office. This will enable guests to not only call the of- fice and make their wants known but to talk to anybody in the town or any oth- er place. The system will be installed by the Bell Telephone company of Penn- sylvania and in addition to the local ser- vice there will also be long distance con- nections which will enable a guest at that hotel to talk from his room to any city in the country. nn sens. GQ ws — —-Bellefonte's greatest spot of natural beauty, the Big Spring, now shows off to greater advantage than ever before since that new concrete pavement and curb has been completed, nll the ground per- fectly sodded and the spring cleaned out. It now shows off to better advantage than ever before and its real bigness is easily apparent. And when the fact is noted that more than half the capacity of the spring runs over the gate and down the tail-race into Spring creek itis hard to conceive that some Bellefonte residents are continually on short water rations, but such is a fact, nevertheless. ——On Monday evening a man was struck by a freight train in the New York Central railroad yards at Newberry, near Williamsport, and seriously injured. He was taken to the Williamsport hos- pital where it was found that his condi- tion was such that he was unable to tell his name or anything about himself. From newspaper clippings and letters in his pockets the authorities decided he was Brinton Mongan, of Bellefonte, which is probably correct. Mongan is of a roving disposition and has probably fig- ured in more accidents, scrapes and police nets than any man for his age in this section. Just how serious his pres- ent injuries are is not known. —A good-sized crowd was in Belle- fonte last Saturday to see Young Buffa- lo’s wild west and Col. Cummin’s far east show and all who attended were well pleased with the performance. In addition to the general run of events pulled off in a wild west they had a num- ber of new features never before seen in Bellefonte. The performance throughout was clean as it was thrilling and a more gentlemanly set of showmen never ap- peared in Bellefonte. This fact was demonstrated after the evening perform- ance when it came to loading up. Every man knew his place and did his work without any loud orders or undue noise and so orderly and quietly was the work carried on that the show paraphernalia was loaded and the train moved without disturbing the slumbers of people living close to the railroad. The show was well patronized in the afternoon but the night crowd was small. the parents of twelve children, nine boys | and three girls. Two of the boys died in infancy but all their living children with i thirty-five grand-children and thirty-four ; great grand-children were present at the | | reunion. All the children, by the way, | reside almost within sight of the old | home where they were born and grew to manhood and womanhood. | The Corl family is one of the oldest, ! best known and most highly respected in | Ferguson township. They are all tillers | of the soil, progressive and prosperous. | Politically they are all Democrats and ! always staunch supporters of the party | and its principles. They are all mem- | bers of the Reformed church and Sunday | school and active in religious work. They | are also all members of Washington Grange, P. of H. About five years ago | Mr. Corl retired from active work and | moved into a new home near Struble | station, where he has thirty-six acres of ground and does a little farming and gar- dening, just for proper exercise. During his life he has been a noted hunter, hav- ing thirty-nine deer to his credit, and he hopes to make it forty before he dies. Both he and Mrs. Corl are in excellent | health and no doubt have many pleasant years of life together ahead of them. GOVERNOR APPROVES PENITENTIARY PLANS. —Plans for the new western peni- tentiary which the State will build in Benner township, this county, were sub- mitted to Governor Tener on Tuesday by the inspectors of the western insitu- tion, superintendent of construction John Francies and architect John T. Windrim, of Philadelphia. The plans call for a model institution, with thirty-eight acres inclosed within a wall and accommoda- tions for one thousand prisoners. The buildings will be in a group plan and will be constructed of native stone. This peni- tentiary will embrace the most modern ideas in the care of prisoners and will be far and away above those of the pres- ent. The Governor expressed his satis- faction with the scheme and will send a formal letter of approval. FELL INTO THE SPRING.—Three year old Paul Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Miller, of ‘south Water street, fell into the big spring on Sunday afternoon and had it not been for the prompt response of William Rine, who heard the lad scream, he would probably have drowned. Paul with another boy was on the concrete walk near the overflow gate when Paul made a step or two backwards. His heel struck the curb and he toppled over back- wards. Both boys screamed and Will Rine ran from the pump house, jumped into six foot of water and brought the boy ashore. Aside from a chilly bath he was none the worse for the accident. Mr. Miller thanked Mr. Rine for what he had done in a very substantial manner. re ALL MURDERERS TO BE ELECTROCUTED HERE.—~Under a bill that passed the Leg- islature finally on Wednesday there will be no more hangings in Pennsylvania. All capital punishment will be inflicted by electrocution and for that purpose a special building will be erected at the new penitentiary in Centre county. Within a week after a murderer has been condemned in any county in the State he will be brought to the new penitentiary where he will be confined until electro- cuted. Only the warden, his assistants, one physician, one spiritual adviser, six citizens and six newspaper men will be permitted to witness an electrocution.
