Young MAN AND Boy HURT BY TRAIN. —George Bailey, aged eighteen years, and his nephew, Lester Harris, aged thir- teen, are in the Bellefonte hospital ow- ing to injuries received in an accident on the Bellefonte Central railroad at Alto on Tuesday morning. Bailey's condition is quite serious, as he is suffering with a severe concussion of the brain and has not responded to the treatment since ad- mitted to the hospital. The Harris boy received a bad gash on the head and sus- tained a slight concussion of the brain, but he is getting along so well that no serious consequences are anticipated. Bailey worked for George B. Thomp- son and was on his way from the Thomp- son house to the barn. The road crosses the railroad at a sharp curve and the young man evidently did not hear the train and could not see it until it was almost upon him. The locomotive struck the wagon just back of the seat and both Bailey and Harris were thrown a dis- tance of forty feet. The wagon was completely wrecked but the horses es- caped with a few minor scratches. The injured man and boy were carried to the house and a physician summoned trom State College, who, upon discovering the serious nature of their injuries decided that the hospital was the proper place for them, consequently they were brought to Bellefonte on the noon train and tak- en to that institution. The train which struck them was the one going to the College about eleven o'clock, and was running up grade. Bai- ley’s father is dead and he had only re- cently been employed by Mr. Thompson, his former home being in Stormstown. Lester Harris is a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Harris and was with his uncle merely to put in the time. OPENING OF TROUT FISHING SEASON.— Five more days until the opening of the trout fishing season and by the time the WATCHMAN goes to press next week there will be big and little fish stories, all owing to the ability of the fisherman who tells them. From present indications the opening day will not be very auspicious. The water in all the streams in the county is more than normally high, and quite cloudy, and there will not be much change in the next five days. Just how plentiful the trout are is im- possible to tell as since the breakup of winter the streams have been too mudy to investigate. But whether plentiful or not, if next Wednesday morning is at all bearable over head the usual crowd of fishermen will doubtless be found along the streams, they going out on the as- sumption that trout are at least no scarc- er than they were at the close of the sea- son last year. Naturally Spring creek, Logan’s branch and Fishing creek will be the leading Meccas for experienced fishermen, but there are other good trout streams in the county, and each will likely have its share of Izaak Walton’s disciples. WORK BEGUN ON DEATH HOUSE AT PENITENTIARY.—The contract for build- ing the death house at the new peniten- tiary in Benner township was recently awarded to Thompson & Starrett, large contractors, of Pittsburgh, and they al- ready have a force of men getting every- thing in shape for a rapid construction of the building. The death house will be located in one corner of the walled enclosure of thirty- eight acres and will be separate and apart from the main prison building. It will be built of concrete and steel and will be well nigh impregnable. The build- ing will be two stories high, the first floor being occupied by offices for the deputies, rooms for watchmen, kitchen, etc. On the second floor will be a row of tiers sufficient to hold all prisoners under sentence of death who are liable to be there at one time. Across the hall, opposite the cells, are the death chamber and several other rooms. A limited time has been set for the completion of the building. OLD FORT HOTEL LICENSE GRANTED.— On Friday evening of last week Judge Orvis granted the application of Edward Royer for a license at the Old Fort hotel. This makes thirty licenses granted out of a total of thirty-four applications. August Glinz came to Bellefonte from New Kensington last Friday and after two days negotiations with J. Mac Davis closed the deal for the purchase of the furnishings of the Garman house late Saturday afternoon, assuming charge on Wednesday. On Monday afternoon the application of Mr. Davis for a license at the Garman house was withdrawn, leav- ing the court free to act on Mr. Glinz’s application, which he did by granting the same Wednesday afternoon, and the license was lifted almost immediately and the bar opened.

After he had dinner he went to a hardware store and purchased a revolver. In the evening he either intentionally or accidentally shot himself in the left side. He was taken to the Cottage State hospital where an X-ray examination disclosed the fact that though the bullet passed close to the heart it did not penetrate a vital spot and there was every reason to believe he would recover until complications devel- oped on Sunday which resulted in his death Monday morning. IN A SociAL WAY.—Miss Pearl Knisely entertained with cards Friday night, in honor of Mrs. Charles Barnes, who has been the guest of relatives in Bellefonte for several weeks. Mrs. S. Kline Woodring gave a card party the same evening, at her home on Howard street. Monday evening a surprise party, ar- ranged by Mrs. A. C.

After dinner on Monday two of the Mil- ler boys went to work to clean up the yard. They raked together a pile of rub- bish and set fire to it. The little girl was playing in the yard and unobserved got close enough to the flames that her clothing caught fire. Her screams at- tracted her mother’s attention and she ran from the house and smothered the flames but a portion of the child’s body was burned to a crisp and she had evi- dently inhaled the flames. She was brought to the hospital and everything possible done to relieve her sufferings, which ended however with her death at eleven o'clock the same night. In addi- tion to her parents three brothers and one sister mourne the child’sdeath. They are Charles, Roy, Harry and May. The remains were taken to the parents home on Tuesday morning and the funeral held yesterday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. Zeigler officiated and burial was { made in the Advent cemety. = other employee in the county who can | THE INNOCENTS.—The Thespians of State College will appear at Garman’s opera house on Saturday evening, April 18th, in their new play, “The Innocents.” A special train will be run from State College to bring the college contingent to Bellefonte and convey The Thespians back to the College after the play. Owing to it being Saturday night the play will not begin until nine o’clock, but the Penn State orchestra will give a concert from 830to 9 o'clock. Don’t fail to attend and see the college boys act as love-smit- ten girls. The Innocents, from whom the show derives its name, are six sons of an old Colonel who has been disappointed in love six times and for each of the disappoint- ments has adopted a son. The Colonel has fully- determined to protect these boys from the wiles of woman and so fit them when they do meet women to be better able to protect themselves from her artifices. He has succeeded in his purpose up to the time of this show and the boys have reached the age of twenty | years without knowing that such a being as a woman exists. During the absence of the Colonel the | grounds of the place where the boys are kept are visited by a bevy of girls from New York and the boys get their first glimpse of a, woman. The action of the Innocents, which by the complications that arise upon the sudden return of the Colonel, causes con- siderable comedy and it is aided by the perplexity of the Colonel when he finds that one of his old sweethearts is among the party of intruders. After finding that his plan of keeping the boys in ignorance of woman is use- less the Colonel decides to take the boys to New York so they may get to know woman as he has known her. The second act shows the party after the return from the city and brings out the fact that the boys are still in love with the girls they first met. Jealousy on the boys’ part for the admiration of the girls for an aviator who is the lion of the hour on account of his daring flights causes them to plot to steal the aeroplane and fly away with the girls. This plot is discovered by the Colonel, who finds that the boys intend to remain true to the girls they now love, and he gives his con- sent to their marriage and at the same time renews the affair with his old sweet- heart and the show ends with the Col- onel reconciled to the world and woman. The sixteen musical numbers of the show are distributed through the two acts and the dancing of the chorus to these numbers is an example of grace- fulness and rythm. Prices, 25, 35, 50, 75 cents and $1.00. ——The last Legislature passed an Act creating a commission for the purpose of supervising the transfer of the old battle flags now in the State library and muse- um to the rotunda of the capitol at Har- risburg, and W.
