The home was elaborately decorated with flags and daisies and from half after six until half after eight fourteen little tots enjoyed themselves as only children can, pldying games and eating sweet- meats. ——At a special meeting of the Hunt- ingdon Presbytery, held in Tyrone on Tuesday of last week, Rev. Richard Crit- tenden was granted a letter of dismissal to the Presbytery of Lehigh and Rev. John R. Woodcock was released from the pastorate of the church at Birmingham to accept a call from a strong church in the Presbytery of Syracuse. Rev. George E. Hawes, of Bellefonte, was selected as one of the speakers for Presbyterian day at Lakemont park, Altoona, on July 17th. —All of last week was one of the continuously hottest periods of weather Bellefonters have experienced in some years and, notwithstanding the fact that there were frequent storms it took the hard rain of Saturday to break the spell. Since then it has been more comfortable. During Saturday's rain there was a cloud burst in the neighbor- hood of Julian and the high water caused two small washouts on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad so that all evening trains were {from two to three hours late. ——[t will not be a circus, nor a horse race or baseball game, but a good, old enjoyable church festival—under the auspices of the Ladies Aid society of the Lutheran church of Pleasant Gap. Noll’s Grove is the place and the time will be Saturday evening next, July 12th. The proceeds will go into the church fund. The menu will consist of ice cream cake, tropical fruits, water melon and innum- erable other side lines. Everybody and their friends are invited to be present on this occasion. Cranks and disorderlies will not be admitted. Every member was present at the regu- lar meeting of borough council on Mon- day evening, and this doubtless account- ed for the “knocks” that floated through the atmosphere. Most of the members had chips on their shoulders and not one of them was knocked off during the meet- ing. James R. Hughes, of the Bellefonte Academy, was present and explaining to council that he now owned all the ground between Bishop and Logan street con- tiguous to the alley running from one thoroughfare to the other; and that said alley interfered with the proper grading of the grounds, asked that council de- clare the same vacated. He further ex- plained that in the grading of the grounds a driveway would be put in from Bishop to Logan street which could be used as a public thoroughfare at all times. Council being undecided as to what procedure was necessary president Keller referred the matter to the Street committee for investigation and report at next meeting. In the regular reports of standing com- mittees the Street committee reported that in company with the borough engi- neer they made a tour of the town and reported a large number of new pave- secretary was instructed to give the prop- erty owners the regular legal notice and if the same was not given prompt atten- tion the borough will do the work and collect for the same according to the reg- ular process of law. Under the head of old business the Street committee reported that as a com- promise settlement they recommended that the borough build a small retaining wall along the front of the Rhoads prop- erty on Linn street, so as to permit of terracing the bank, and reset the steps; the owners to build the pavement along the Water street side.” The report was approved and the committee empowered to see that the work was done. Councilman Paul D. Sheffer asked what had been done with the request of Morris & Sheffer for permission to erect hitching posts in front of their store. Mr. Keller explained that nothing had been done for the reason, probably, that objections had been made and that the street at that place was too narrow. Mr. Sheffer admitted that he knew that, that the hitching posts would doubtless be a nuisance, but they had as much right to hitching posts as any other merchant in town, and that he was going to put them up, consent or no consent. The matter caused considerable discussion, one or two members declaring that all hitching posts ought to be removed, others that they ought to be allowed only on streets of a certain width, etc. Mr. Walker fi. nally made a proposition that the street at that place be widened by setting the curb in on both sides and made a motion that the matter be referred to the Street committee and borough engineer to get estimates on the cost of widening the street from the alley to the northern side of Morris and Sheffer’s store and also | through to Howard street. It was so or- | dered. Isaac Underwood appeared at that time and made complaint about the over- head crossing of the siding of the Cen- tral Railroad of Pennsylvania, just west of the old Thomas residence on north Thomas street. He stated that when the railroad was built the driveway was cut down so that there was eleven feet in the clear. Since then the road has been filled up until now there is not ten feet and he is unable to get through with such machinery as grain separators, trac- tion engines, etc. He asked that coun- cil do something to remedy the trouble, either lower the road or raise the rail- road. No action was taken in the mat- Mr. Walker called the attention of council to the fact that there was not a | piace in town for beast or man to get a drink. Of course he meant a public drinking fountain. While every council- man admitted the fact nothing was done in the matter. Mr. Cherry presented the complaint of Mr. Gamble, of Gamble, Gheen & Co., ‘that every time there was a hard rain the water from west Lamb street wash- ed down across the railroad and flooded the grounds around and under the mill, and if something was not done to pre- ! vent it a suit for damages would be en. | tered against the borough. Borough en- ! gineer Henry Wetzel said that he had spoken to R. B. Taylor in regard to the matter and he stated that the same sew- er facilities were there now as had been before he built his siding to the coal yard. Solicitor J. Thomas Mitchell stat. ed that to his personal knowledge the same conditions existed there during the past thirty years and in his judgment he could not see how the borough was to blame. [As a compromise remedy Mr. Gamble might be given permission—with a proviso, of course, for their removal when requested—to erect splash boards above the mill to keep the water back. —ED.] The Fire and Police committee report. ed the roof of the public building in bad shape and they were instructed to make all necessary repairs. Secretary Kelly reported that the sid. ing at the Phoenix mill would have to be repaired soon if it is to be kept up, and that Col. Reynolds stated that it was up to the borough. Mr. Seibert stated that the borough was not liable for any part of the plant that wore out or rotted out, and nothing was done in the matter. Borough solicitor J.

CONTRACT AWARDED FOR AUTOMOBILE FACTORY.—On Wednesday evening the contract for the erection of the main factory building for the Bzllefonte Auto- mobile Manufacturing company was awarded to Gehret & Lambert on a com- mission basis. The building, which will be 60x384 feet in size and two stories high, will be constructed of native lime- stone with a structual steel roof, hence will be amost absolutely fireproof. The company expects their charter today and if it is received work on the building will be started on Monday and it will be rushed to completion. Mr. Harbold, chief designer of the Bellefonte Six, has completed the design of the new car and just as quick as the material can be se- cured a demonstrating and exhibition car will be built. The Bellefonte Six will have so many up-to-date improvements over the present day car that it is bound to be a win- ner. —-William Watson, a former Centre countian but who has been in Williams- port for some time, came up to celebrate the Fourth but did -not do it in a safe and sane way. Instead he proceeded to fill up on fighting water then went out to Garbrick’s store at Coleville and made some purchases which he disputed pay- ing for. In the controversy which fol- lowed the showcase was knocked off the counter. Watson then went to the home of his father-in-law, where his wife was staying, and demanded that she give him some money. Mr. Rossman interposed when Watson went at him rough and tumble. The result was his arrest for assault and battery. At a hearing be. fore "Squire Musser on Monday evening he was fined $13.75 and held in $300 bail to keep the peace for a year. Not being able to settle at the time he was taken to jail.

Gray, of near Stormstown, is lying in a critical condition as the result of being struck by an automobile on Saturday evening, June 28th. Mr. Gray, who is about eighty-four years of age, was walking on the public road from his residence to the tenant house on his farm when an automobile hove in sight, running at high speed. There was a hog on the road and from the way the driver was guiding the ma. chine Mr. Gray concluded it was his in. tention to run down the hog, so to be out of the danger line, as he supposed, he moved to the side of the road. True to his judgment the machine struck the hog but when it did so the driver lost con- trol of the steering wheel and the big car swerved, darted to the side of the road and striking Mr. Gray knocked him through the fence, crushing his right hip, bruising his head and face and in. juring him internally. That he was not killed outright is little short of a miracle but his condition is very grave, as he is gradually growing weaker. The auto. was driven by Irvin Thomas.
