LINN HARRIS CHOSEN REPUBLICAN Bera itd CouNTY CHAIRMAN.—Six members of the ty-six proxies held a meeting in the grand jury room at the court house on Satur- day afternoon and elected J. Linn Harris ‘chairman of the committee to succeed Henry C. Quigley Esq., who resigned last week. The members present were Sam- uel B. Miller, Orin Kline and Allen B. Waite, Bellefonte; Levi Miller, Spring township; Thomas Dubbs, Rush town- ship, and J. H. Rathmell, Walker town- i ship. Mr. Quigley called the meeting to or- der and secretary Edmund Blanchard was requested to take notes. Mr. Quig- ley made a brief speech in which he re- iterated the fact that his reason for re- | . tiring was that it would take too. much of his time to conduct the forthcoming campaign and it would be better to have some one who could give it the proper attention. He then formally withdrew as chairman of the committee and of the meeting. | Samuel B. Miller was selected to pre- | side over the other five members and the | twenty-six proxies and in taking the chair ' he proceeded to make one of his old- time Republican speeches, with slight variations. Mr. Miller had evidently | not been properly coached as he was in favor of adjourning the meeting until some future date when more committee- men could be gotten together, but Levi ly been selected in advance as spokes- man, stated that with the proxies sent in to Edmund Blanchard and Joseph L. Montgomery and the members present a majority of the committee was represent- ed and he favored going ahead. Chair- man Miller then appointed a committee to examine the proxies and see that they were all right, and they reported them all in due form. J. Linn Harris was then nominated by Levi Miller for the office of county chair- man. After allowing a sufficient time to elapse somebody moved that the nomi- nations close and it was so voted. Then one of the other members moved that Mr. Harris be elected by acclamation and all the members and proxies present voted aye. The new chairman was invited to the chair and made a speech thanking the members and the proxies for the honor conferred upon him and pledging him- self to do his utmost to pilot the g. o. p. to victory next fall. Uncle Sammy Mil- ler could not resist the inclination to make another speech and after brief talks by several others present the meet- Republican county committee and twen.- " Auxiliary, Thursday evening, ——The big patch of pine trees on the hill to the right of the pike just beyond the toll gate is a favorite retreat for crows, both winter and summer, and this winter there seems to be an epidem- ic among them as the ground is strewn with dead ones.

Dale Esq., representing the State-Centre Elec- tric company, requested council’s con- | cession to the company laying and main- taining a pipe from its plant across Water street to the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania property. In explanation he stated that with the installation of the new and improved machinery the company proposes equipping its plant with it will require a large amount of water for condensing purposes and the best method to secure the same would be by suction from the creek. The water will be sucked up one pipe and returned through another channel, only about five per cent. of the actual volume being used. The matter was referred to the Special committee for investigation and report. Burgess Edmund Blanchard reported that so far the new police headquarters in Temple Court were proving an excel- lent system. Several calls have been made during the night and promptly re- sponded to. He presented a bill for $8.00 for furniture, with the statement that if council objected to paying the same he would take care of it. He also called the i attention of council to the slippery and ' dangerous condition of the pavement on the corner at Beezer’s butcher shop. A number of people have fallen there, but fortunately none have been badly hurt. Mr. Blanchard also spoke of the condi- tion of Garman’s opera house, which he sick three months ago with the grip, this characterized as extremely dangerous being followed by pluro-pneumonia left ' and unsanitary, and stated that with her in an exhausted condition from which ' council’s permission he would compel the she was never able to recover and which | proprietors to make the necessary im- now has become so serious that much ' provements or would close the house. anxiety is felt by her family concerning The president of council granted him her recovery. | the permission and instructed the Fire and Police committee to render any as- sistance possible.

A GREAT TEMPERANCE ORATOR. —The temperance people of Bellefonte and community will have an opportunity to hear one of the strongest advocates of their cause on Tuesday evening, March 3rd, when “Catch My Pal” Patterson will appear in Petrikin hall. An exchange has the following to say of him: Who will say that it was chance that brought the six men to the lamp-post in Armagh on the*evening of the 13th of Ju- ly, 1909, and that led around the corner at the fitting moment the founder of this great movement? What hereditary and other influence, God-directed, brought this young minister, with his fixed con- victions, his power of initiative, his origi- nality, verve, aplomb and humor, in con- tact with those six men who were the very individuals to respond to this unique treatment? Surely Mr. Patterson was raised up of God, and gifted with his versatile talents for this very work. The need was here, claimant and urgent; the work was waiting; the man has at last been found. Here is the greatest oppor- : tunity of a century. : i SECTION FOREMAN INJURED. — Robert Malone, section foreman on the Penn- sylvania railroad at Snow Shoe, was struck by an engine on Tuesday morn- | ing, knocked from the track and is now in the Bellefonte hospital suffering with a compound fracture of the right leg.
