On Monday evening, when Dr. Hawes
was introducing the “Georgia Cyclone”
to a crowded audience in Petrikin hall,
he prefaced his introductory with a re-
mark in substance about as follows:
If a certain young man whois a
communicant in one of our churches
could have had his way today I would
probably be in jail at this minute in-
stead of being with you on this au-
spicious occasion.
Naturally there was amazement on all
sides. Few of those present knew of Satur-

did thought little of serious consequences

tive enlightenment on the question, but
if there is anything at all in it it is a safe
guess that the action indicated a move-

against Dr. Hawes and Editor Harter.

— Sheriff A. B. Lee recently sold his
home and blacksmith shop at Tussey-
ville to Emmett Jordon, of Colyer, who
took possession on Monday. The price
paid was $1,300. Several days later the

Someone looking for grounds for an
action in libel might find a semblance of
them in the words above quoted. They
might imagine that the minister was un-
dertaking to intimidate the court. How-
ever .that may be and without having
heard Dr. Hawes interpret the meaning
intended the WATCHMAN is one, at least,
to believe that such a thought was furth-
est from his mind when he put the
thought into words.

WORKMEN LAID OFF AT NEW PENI-
TENTIARY.—During the past week the
entire force of engineers and carpenters
at the new penitentiary were dismissed
with the exception of chief engineer
Herron and head carpenter Ammon
Kerstetter. The only explanation so far
given is that all the surveying possible to
do at this time has been done and there
will be nothing more in this line until
next spring when, if building operations
are begun, a small force of engineers
will likely be needed. The same excuse
holds good for the carpenters dismissed,
no more work for them this winter.
Head farmer Warren J. Ross was also
discharged permanently and the work on
the various farms, for the present, at
least, will be looked after by the convicts
themselves. What arrangements will be

«quite a reputation for their good playing,
which is remarkable considering the fact
that every member is a boy in his teens.
Residents of Milesburg and vicinity are
urged to turn out tomorrow night and
hear them.
——Petrikin hall was well filled on
Monday evening with an audience anx-
ious to hear Mrs. Mary Harris Armor,
the “Georgia Cyclone,” discuss the liquor
‘question; and it must be confessed she
“did it very thoroughly from her view-
point. Mrs. Armor is naturally working
iin the cause of temperance and the total
' abolishment of the liquor traffic and she |
presented some remarkable facts as evi-
dence that she was in the right.
——John Fogleman, of Buffalo Run,
was seriously injured in the beginning of
electric fluid to Bellefonte by cable, and
will reconstruct the Bellefonte plant. They
will install a 750 kilowat turbine engine
and change the entire system from a di-
rect to an alternating current, which will
not only increase the power but render
the lighting capacity stronger and much
more brilliant. A large part of the sys-
tem of pole lines and wires will also
have to be changed and the estimated
cost of the work is about $100,000. This
work will be done just as soon as it is
possible to do it.
‘SKELETON FOUND IN FIRE RUINS.—Last
week the WATCHMAN told the story of
the disappearance of George Smolka, a
Slavish miner of Snow Shoe, on the night
of January 5th, when the Budinger store
was entirely destroyed by fire. Smolka,
who was more or :less intoxicated, was
put out of the Uzzle hotel and started for
the week, and is now lying practically the Budinger store’ He was never seen

——The New York Stock company
will be at Garman’s all next week when
Harry Coleman will present Loie Fran-

exceilent quartette who can be heard in

——Capt. John A. Hunter, the oldest
and best known resident of Stormstown,
has decided to leave his farm home in|
that place on or about April first and
move to State College. Capt. Hunter is
in his ninety-third year and while not as
spry as a man of three score years, still
enjoys good health and doubtless has a
number of years of life ahead of him.
He has been a resident of Stormstown
many, many years and when he moves
away he will be greatly missed by the
residents of that place.
—— Bellefonte friends of Rev. C. w-
Winey will regret to learn that on a re-
cent Sunday while he was preaching the
gospel in his church at Greensburg some
thief broke into the parsonage and stole
a new suit of clothes which the reverend
purchased shortly before leaving Belle-
fonte, a good overcoat, a small sum of
money, a watch and a ladies gold brooch.
So far as known the thief made his haul
and got away without being seen by any-
body so that Rev. Winey has little hope
of getting any of his property back.

——During the past week T. Clayton
Brown has arranged the Scenic so as to
throw every precaution around the lives
of his patrons and prevent any serious
accident. This is one of the things he
believes due every person who attends
the Scenic. Another thing is to give
them good programs of the best and
most interesting pictures obtainable and
this he also looks after very closely. Good
features almost every evening during the
week and some unusually big ones book-
ed for the near future. Watch for them.
——The hostesses for the pre-lenten
entertaining of the past week include,
Miss Humes, who entertained with three
tables of flinch Thursday evening of last
week. Mrs. Reynolds, as hostess at a
luncheon given Saturday and for which
fifteen covers were laid, Mrs. Horne, of
Yonkers, N. Y., and the Misses Harrar,
of Williamsport being the honor guests.
The Misses Mary and Blanche Under-
wood gave the second of a series of card

——Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Casebeer have
decided to quit housekeeping and after
disposing of their furniture will take
rooms at the Brockerhoff house; Dr.
Coburn Rogers and family will move into
the house to be vacated by the Case-

beer’s store; Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Keich-
line will move from their present apart-
ments over Lyon & Co’s store to the

move from the Parker house on east
Bishop street into the Joseph house on
Logan street now occupied by her broth-
er, Linn Blackford and family. The lat-
ter will move to State College where he
will have charge of all the property in-
terests of Rev. C. T. Aiken and also con-
duct the motion picture show to be open-
ed in the hotel property.
——The valentine card party to be giv-
en at the Elks home Thursday evening,
February 12th, will be under the auspic-
es of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the
Bellefonte Hospital, the proceeds of
which will go to the fund for equipping
the laundry. This is the second of a se-
ries of benefits which these women will
hold during the coming year and in this
unusual effort the cooperation of the
churches, all organizations and individu-
als throughout the county is asked.
Bridge, five hundred, euchre and flinch
will be in play Thursday night and any
one interested, though not able to come
to Bellefonte, might arrange for a game
at their home, and in this way make a
contribution. A postoffice department
distributing valentines, for which the
receiver will pay a nominal sum, will be
in the hands of a committee, who antici-
pate making it a feature of the party. A
pleasant evening awaits everyone who
will join the women in their charity work
at the Elks home next week. The tick-
ets which are being sold for fifty cents,
can be gotten from the members of the
Auxiliary or at Ceader’s bakery.
each evening. '
AcME SuppPLY COMPANY MAY LOCATE
PLaNT HERE.—On Tuesday afternoon
Harry H. Schreyer, of Chicago, and W.D.
Conwell, of New York, representing the |
Acme Supply company, of Chicago, ar- |
rived in Bellefonte and their trip was one
that may eventually mean much of bene- |
fit to Bellefonte. The present plant of |
the Acme Supply company in Chicago is |
being worked to its limit manufacturing
supplies of all kinds for equipping Pull |
man and all steel cars. The stockholders |
of the company are very optimistic of
the future and feel that it would be a
good business policy to establish an east-
| ern plant.
{ Mr. Schreyer and Mr. Conwell were on
. a trip looking for an available site for the
same. They came to Bellefonte from
| Howard where they looked at the old roll-
| ing mill. While here they looked at sev-
| eral available sites, but were more im-
pressed with the location at the Belle-
fonte engineering works than any other
around Bellefonte. There they would
be able to rebuild the old dam and have
all the water power they would need.
Messrs. Seig and Harbold made them a
very good offer which they are now con-
sidering.
Of course nothing definite has been
done as Messrs. Schreyer and Conwell
want to discuss the matter with the prop-
er representatives of the Bellefonte Board
of Trade, although it can be stated that
subscription, etc. The main thing is
whether they fully decide to establish an
eastern branch.
ably be a plant capable of giving employ-
ment to from 150 to 200 men, and Mr.
Schreyer stated that Bellefonte is the
place that would likely be selected.
New TRUSTEES OF THE THoMAS Es-
TATE NAMED.—For several years the af-
fairs of the Thomas estate have been
more or less a bone of contention among
some of its beneficiaries. The estate, as
most of you know, is quite a substantial
one and is variously valued at from
the late Judge Daniel Rhoads Mr. John
P. Harris had been acting as trustee of
the estate. In recent years the onerous
exactions of his trusteeship were wearing
heavier on him and it was his desire to
relinquish the trust, so when he filed his
last annual report he expressed his in-
tention of resigning. As it happened ex-
ceptions were filed to the report conse-
quently the trustee could not withdraw
until they were withdrawn.
We understand that the exceptions
were based merely on differences of
opinion among several beneficiaries as to
the distribution of the estate, and how
and when it should be distributed. Those
matters were all cleared up recently
when it was agreed to continue the trust,
exceptions to Mr. Harris’ account were
withdrawn and his resignation accepted.
Following that the court named Harry
Keller, J. Kennedy Johnston and J. Thom-
as Mitchell as trustees. Mr. Mitchell
representing his mother’s interest in the
estate, Harry Keller representing the
other heirs of the late Jacob Thomas and
Mr. Johnston representing Isaac Thomas
who has a one-third interest in the es-
tate and at his demise the trust will end.
CENTRE COUNTIANS BANQUET.—Accord-
ing to the menu received at this office
just eighty-nine former Centre countians,
now residents of Philadelphia, partook of
their tenth annual banquet at the Conti-
nental hotel on Friday evening of last
week. Among the number we notice the
names of “Miss Belle Fonte” and “Mr.
Port Matilda.” Of course there are no
such personages and whoever registered
those names were likely trying to get
even with the menu which included
“Nittany valley spring lamb, Hecla green
peas, Centre County Association sherbet,
Muncy mountain turkey, Spring creek
water-cress salad, and Bellefonte pure
spring water.” Of course there were a
whole lot of other things to eat which
shows that gastronomically speaking the
dinner committee was on the job. Among
the after dinner speakers were Rev.
Guido Bassard, D. D., Hon. William W.
Porter, Rev. W. K. Foster and William
H. Berry, while Miss Lydia Underwood
read a very entertaining selection.
PLEASANT GAP PROPERTY CHANGES
HanDps.—W. H. Noll & Bro., of Pleasant
Gap, this week bought the John C. Mul-
finger property at that place, better
known as the old Haag distillery property.
1t is their intention to remodel the old
hotel and fix it up for a good road house,
where a traveler can get a good meal
and a good bed. The old distillery will
be converted into a double dwelling
house and the old grist mill will be fixed
up for manufacturing purposes. There
are about nine acres of ground included
in the property and a portion of this will
be laid out into building lots. It is pos-
sible that the Nolls may build a few
houses for renting purposes, if the de-
mand for same continues.
