BRIEF SESSION OF BOROUGH COUNCIL.— Every member was present at the regu- lar meeting of borough council on Mon- day evening. There were no verbal nor written communications. The Street committee reported that clean-up week was very generally observ: ed and the Civic club were satisfied with the results accomplished, but there are still a few places that would be the bet- ter for a clean up. The Water committee reported that the water tax, and meter bills for the first quarter, amounting to $6,654.04, had been turned over to Mr. Ishler for col- lection. Mr. Shope, of the Sanitary committee, stated that complaint had been made to him that there was a break in the sewer on east Lamb street and that the sewer- age was running out on top of the ground. He was informed that there was no sew- er on that street, only open gutters, and that the only sewerage in the gutter was drainage water. The matter, however, was referred to the Street committee. Mr. Seibert stated that on account of the repairs and changes being made to the armory, and to get rid of the large volume of surface water that flows to that section of the town, a large sewer ought to be laid diagonally across the street to connect with the big stone sew- er on the south side of the street. The matter was referred to the Street com- mittee and borough solicitor with power. The Fire and Police committee report- ed repairs completed to the council cham- ber, and the installation of a new table for the reporters and two new drop lights. The Sanitary committee reported that no effort had so far been made to clean out the rubbish in the rear of the Bush Arcade, the Garman and Shoemaker properties, and a motion was passed in- structing the borough solicitor to insti: tute proceedings to compell them to do so. Complaint was also made of the ashes and rubbish in the rear of the Brown building on Bishop street, and in the rear of the John Meese, Edwin Gar- man and Miller stores on Allegheny street. The clerk was directed to serve notice on the above parties to clean up their premises. At the request of the Finance com- mittee a new note for $1,500 was author- ized to pay overdrafts and meet current bills, and after the approval of bills amounting to $485.08 council adjourned. OUTLINE OF THIS YEAR'S CHAUTAUQUA. —Everybody in Bellefonte remembers the delightful feast of good entertain- ment and instruction during the week of last summer’s Chautauqua, and are look- ing forward to the time when this year’s Chautauqua will be held. The time has now been set and it will be July 7th to 14th. While a complete program has nct yet been given out, among the attrac- tions will be the following: The Dunbar Singing Band will be the opening feature, and it is said to be un- usually good. On the second day there will be concerts by a splendid orchestra and addresses for and against woman suffrage, by two persons of considerable prominence as speakers. Dr. Cadman, one of the most notable preachers in America, will be the principal lecturer on the third day. On the fourth day (children’s day) the Chautauqua will present the Cinderella play and Chauncey J. Hawkins. The program on the fifth day will include a concert by a superior musical organiza- tion; a lecture by Judge Wanamaker, of the Ohio Supreme court, and an address by WNirs. Edith Ellicott Smith, a national figure in progressive movements. On the last day there will be band concerts and a lecture by some statesman yet to be selected. From the above it will be seen that the Chautauqua this year promises well and you want to begin planning now so as not to miss one session of it. BE Ms ie Bic FREIGHT WRECK.—A big freight wreck occurred on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad, about two miles west of Union- ville, on Tuesday afternoon, when twelve cars of a through produce train were wrecked. In the wreck was a car load of eggs, a car of strawberries, a car of cabbage and a car load of dynamite. Fortunately the latter, though turned over on to its side was not smashed and the dynamite did not explode. None of the trainmen were injured. Nos. 55 and 56 transferred at the wreck on Tuesday evening and two wrecking crews worked all night to clear the track. BELLEFONTE ACADEMY MINSTRELS.— Next Thursday and Friday evenings the Bellefonte Academy minstrels will make their annual appearance in Garman’s opera house. Sixty young men in black- faced minstrelsy, with their own band and orchestra. Better jokesmiths than ever before. The latest and catchiest songs, all new, and many specialties never before shown on the stage. Watch for the big street parade at five o'clock in the evening. Remember the minstrels will appear for two nights and everybody wants to see them. MAY DAY FETE AT STATE COLLEGE.— At 6.30 o'clock this (Friday) evening the seventy co-eds at The Pennsylvania State College will give a May day fete on the college campus. The co-eds will all be in fancy costume and an elaborate pro- gram of dancing and other exercises will be given. Refreshments will also be served. The proceeds of the fete will be for the college hospital fund. The fete will afford an excellent excuse for Belle- fonte motor parties taking a trip to ‘the College this evening. © ——In last week's WATCHMAN was published an item relative to the sale of Mrs. Thomas R. Hayes’ home in this place to Dr. Emory Marvel, of Atlantic City, but we failed to mention the fact that the deal was negotiated by Robert E. Smith, a real estate agent of Atlantic City. Mr. Smith personally looked after all the details of the legal transfer of Mrs. Hayes’ property in Bellefonte to Dr. { Marvel and that of the doctor’s property in Atlantic City to Mrs. Hayes. ——Whether for or against Suffrage the people of this locality are urged to go and hear Mrs. Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale, in her talk on Suffrage in Pennsylvania, tomorrow evening in the court house. This opportunity should be appreciated and taken ad- vantage of, as Mrs. Hale is acknowledged the leading speaker for. this movement, in both England and America. Having left the stage to devote her time to the cause and having become so popular on account of her attractions, both as a talker and a woman, it is quite unusual for a town the size of Bellefonte to be able to hear Mrs. Hale for an evening. No admission will be charged, but an offering will be taken. PrizE EssAYy CONTEST.—The W. C. T. U. prize-essay contest, so successfully in- augurated in our public schools last year, will be held again this year, on next Monday afternoon, May 25th, at three o’clock, in the new High school auditori- um. Quite a large number of essays have been written by the first and sec- From these the best ten will be chosen, and each of the ten read by the young writers themselves. There will be three prominent people for judges and the W. C. T. U. will give two prizes—five dollars in gold to the best girl contestant and five dollars in gold for the best essay written by a boy. Delightful music will enliven the program and a very pleasant time is anticipated. Everybody is cordi- ally invited to attend and take their friends and all have a really enjoyable afternoon. PRISONERS PLAY BALL. —During six days of the week the one hundred pris- oners at the new penitentiary in Benner township are engaged in tilling the peni- tentiary farms, quarrying stone or doing any kind of work to which they are as- signed and on Sunday they not only at- tend chapel but are given an opportuni- ty for relaxation in the way of amuse- ment. The prisoners have two regularly organized base ball teams and Sunday afternoon motoring parties who drove past the penitentiary grounds saw the prisoners engaged in a spirited ball game, with the main body of prisoners as spec- tators. The sight was not unlike what can be seen on any ordinary ball field every day. The prisoners played to win and a brilliant play was cheered loudly irrespective of which team made it. This is one of Warden Francies’ ways of keeping the prisoners in a contented frame of mind, and one great reason why the percentage of prisoners who try to escape is very small. Work on the death house is not pro- gressing very fast, as little more than the concrete foundations have been done. But now that they have been completed it is the intention of the contractors to push the work a little faster. MAY TERM OF CourT.—Court conven- ed on Monday and John N. Lane was ‘appointed foreman of the grand jury. The cases disposed of were as follows: Alice Bullock vs. Snow Shoe poor dis- srict. Plaintiff suffered voluntary nen- suit. E. J. Goodyear vs. M. D. Kelley, De- fendant confessed judgment in favor of plaintiff for $13.85. Commonwealth vs. James Parks, charg- ed with furnishing liquor to a man of known intemperate habits. Sentence suspended upon payment of costs. Commonwealth vs. J. F. Condo, same charge. Sentence suspended upon pay- ment of costs. Commonwealth vs. Frank Parks, in- dicted on a serious charge. Sentence suspended under arrangements made and carried out. The case which occupied the attention of the court most of the week was that of the Commonwealth: vs. John Massarish, indicted for murder for the shooting of Anna Duke, at Clarence, at a wedding celebration. This is the second trial of this case and the particulars have been told and retold in this paper several times. The jury who sat upon the case was made up as follows: W. E. Frank, carpenter, Rush; Samuel Hoy, farmer, Spring; Fred Henry, laborer, South Philipsburg; R. G. Wil- liams, farmer, Huston; W. H. Lingle, farmer, Potter; Clyde E. Thomas, elec- trician, State College; R. H. Read, farm- er, Patton; W. D. Strunk, farmer, Walk- er; C. L. Beck, carpenter, Miles; Wal- lace Geary, farmer, Potter; H. B. Parsons, carpenter, Patton; Earl Orr, deputy Re- corder, Bellefonte. The case was completed yesterday morning, the court chargingthe jury and they retiring shortly before noon. They returned a verdict of voluntary man- slaughter last evening. The same ver- dict was returned at the first trial of the case. : The case of the Commonwealth vs. Emma Shay, indicted for murder was then taken up and the jury had not been filled when court adjourned last evening. ~—For high class Job Work come to the WATCHMAN Office. . ond year pupils of the High school. ’ eee sd 4 4 4Hm4———————————————————— WIN | PENNSYLVANIA THRESHERMEN CONCESSIONS FROM HIGHWAY CoMMIS- SIONER BIGELOW.—The threshermen of Pennsylvania put up such a vigorous kick against State Highway Commission- er Bigelow’s interpretation of the recent highway law relating to the operation of traction engines that Mr. Bigelow has made some pronounced concessions from the original rules laid down by him. This will be good news to the thresher- men of Centre county and the number of others who operate traction engines. To correct the complained of condi- tion State Highway Commissioner Bige- low deems it advisable to suspend, for the time being Rule No. 3, governing the operations of these machines so that those owning traction engines of oyer one hundred inches in width, used for agricultural purposes, may have them registered. Threshers, balers or water tanks are not considered trailers and never have been. No registration fee is required to be paid for them. The ordinary wear and tear of a trac- tion engine used for agricultural purpos- es on a public road is not and can not be considered as damaging a highway in such a way as to make the owner of the engine liable for the damages. In order that no one may be put to a hardship, owners of traction engines, equipped with cleats other than those prescribed by law, will be permitted now to operate such engines during this year, with a view to having the next Legisla- ture modify the law. In fact it is the opinion of Commissioner Bigelow that the law should be so amended as to make a distinction between the farmers’ trac- tion engines and the big, heavy tractor used for hauling freight and heavy loads. No one is required to swear or to make affidavit to anything except to the facts set forth in the application, but all are required to agree to abide by the rules and regulations as established by the Highway Commissioner. The Commissioner says that he will welcome any information on the subject and will be pleased to confer with any and all persons who may feel they are unfairly restricted and will be glad to consider any suggestions looking to any change in the regulations, wherever such change can be made without at the same time authorizing the unrestricted use of vehicles capable of destroying improved roads and bridges. +> JupGe Orvis HANDS DOWN IMPORTANT OpINION.—-The State Highway Department must keep in repair and erect all new bridges required on highways taken over by the State under the provisions of the Sproul law, is the decision of Judge Orvis in an opinion handed down on Friday. For a year or more the bridge on the other side of Lemont, on the road to State College; has been in a bad condi tion, almost unsafe for travel, and some months ago the supervisors of College township took out a writ of mandamus on the county commissioners to compel them to erect a new county bridge at that place. Later the case was changed to the State Highway Department vs. the Commissioners of Centre county. The case was duly argued and in his opinion handed down on Friday the court held that the State Highway Department in taking over the roads made itself liable for the upkeep of everything in connec- tion therewith, and that the mandamus proceedings were consequently dismissed and the commissioners discharged from all liability. Judge Orvis’ opinion is the first of its kind to be handed down in the State. A similar question was raised in Blair and Chester counties, but Judge Baldridge, of Blair county, decided that the county would have to build the bridge, while the judge in Chester county handed down a similar decision. Now that two directly opposite decisions have .been handed down it is quite likely the matter will be taken to the Supreme court for a final decision. But until that is done the State Highway Department is liable for the up-keep of all roads and bridges in Centre county taken over by the State and the county is absolved from any lia- bility for damages because of a faulty road or an unsafe bridge. KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.—An un- known foreigner, presumably a Hunga- rian, was struck by a freight train near Unionville, on Sunday afternoon, and so badly injured that he died in the Belle- fonte hospital on Monday morning. The man was walking on the track and evi- dently did not hear the approach of the train. He was struck and knocked some distance. One leg was badly crushed, his skull fractured, "and other injuries sus- tained. He was brought to Bellefonte by a special engine and caboose and tak- en to the hospital but he never regained consciousness and died at five o'clock Monday morning. There was nothing on the man to tell who he was or where he was from, and he was also a stranger in that community. The man was five feet, eight inches in height and weighed 160 pounds. He was fairly well dressed, his coat bearing the trademark of Leopold & Begley, 1123 Eleventh avenue, Altoona. His trousers bore a trademark of the Peoples Supply company, date 616, and the number 5467, with the name A. Skinnon. The body is being held at the undertaking es- tablishment of Hard P. Harris for identi- fication. ——The primaries are now over and the farmers will have time to finish their spring planting. NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —MTrs.
