older citizens.
——Hon. J. Henry Wetzel had an at-

ter of Mrs. Robert Irvin, of his place, fell
in the kitchen of her home in Altoona

bed for some time.
——While the space is limited this
week, we still call your attention to the
Scenic. Soms very clever pictures are
being shown there right along and you
miss some good amusement if you fail to
attend. See the big features two and
three nights a week, perhaps oftener.
——Fearing the report circulated in
the newspapers several days ago, con-
cerning the iliness of Judge Ben Lindsey,
might influence the public in thinking
that he would be unable to keep his en-
gagement to lecture during Chautauqua
week, we have been authorized to say,
that Judge Lindsey will be in Bellefonte
as advertised.
——Probably the most delightful child's
party of the season was that given by
Mrs. Jacob Finklestine Thursday, July!
3rd, for her little daughter Bernice, in
celebration of the child's fourth birthday.
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.

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.

——The venerable George S. 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.
