Other sections of the State are being granted assistance every week or so, but so far we have failed to see that the State High- way Department has ever received the Bellefonte application. THE STATE-CENTRE ELECTRIC CoMm- PANY ACTIVITIES.—On Sunday the State- Centre Electric company hod a force of men make the changes and connections of one engine in the old plant with an alternating current dynamo and they are now in a position to go ahead with the changing of the system in Bellefonte A force of a dozen or more linemen are at work changing the lines for the new system. ~ Having decided to locate their main plant on the Green mill property at Milesburg the company now has a large force of men at work there. The mill- ing machinery and interior fittings of the mill have all been removed and it will be fixed up for the installation of the big dynamo and turbine engine. A new building*adjoining the mill will be built for the boilers. A narrow guage railroad will be built from the branch road that runs from Milesburg to Bellefonte across ‘Spring creek to connect with the plant. At that place the tracks will be elevated so that the coal can be dumped into a chute over the boilers. Conveyers will be used to carry the coal from the chute to the fireboxes under the boilers, thus reducing the manual labor to a minimum. The plant will be built to be operated by water as well as steam and to this end a big turbine water wheel will also be installed. The tail race is now being cleaned out and a concrete forebay built. Later a concrete dam will be built. It will be two hundred and forty feet long with the necessary width and height to make it safe and give an adequate stor- age capacity. It is estimated that dur- ing a wet or normal season the water power will be ample to operate the plant at least three-fourths of the time, while during a dry season there will be suffi- cient water to run the plant at least eight hours out of twenty-four. This will mean a great saving to the company in coal bills, etc. Work is being pushed on their office and warehouse building on High street and it will be completed in another month or six weeks. Aside from the door the entire front will be an immense French plate glass window, which will be used for the display of electric lights and all kinds of electrical equipment. THE BELLEFONTE CHAUTAUQUA.—The Bellefonte Chautauqua promises to be a joyous week of entertainment. Besides the excellent musical talent rendering delightful concerts, and lectures of edu- cational and educative importance, there will be a number of purely entertaining events. . One of the best of these is the Avon Players, an organization of well-trained college people, in the interpretation of the play “Rada.” “Rada” is a weird dramatic poem by Alfred Noyes, the English poet who has recently been wide- ly recognized in America, and secured by Princeton University for a series of lectures on poetry and literature next winter. In the hands of the Avon Play- ers, directed by Mrs. Miriam Lee Earley Lippincott, of Swarthmore college, “Rada” is a delight. The dramatization of the old fairy story, “Cinderella,” has been arranged by Miss Anna Oppenlander, director of the Junior Chautauqua movement. Chil- dren will especially enjoy this perform- ance. Children and grown-ups as well enjoy the lecture of Chauncey J. Hawkins, on “Bright Eyes and Wild Hearts of Our Northern Woods.” His pictures are ex- traordinary photographs of the animals of which he speaks. Some of the wood- land and forest scenes in which he has caught natural poses of the animals are in themselves a sheer delight. The Dunbar Singing Band, nine men in a band, present a program of action songs, marching songs, male chorus, and lively instrumental music. Their strong- est feature is comedy and excellent good humor. NURSES GRADUATE.—Four nurses were graduated from the Bellefonte hospital training school for nurses with fitting exercises held at the High school build- ing, last Friday evening, and six others who graduated prior to 1913 were given their diplomas.

S. Stahl ——The weather this week has been * unusually hot for the month of May, and { while you have been sweltering and per- ' spiring did you think back to February , and March, and even last month, when i you complained about the cold weather? Of course warm weather is to be expect- ed at this season of the year, but the weather man should not give us such gobs of it so early in the season. Keep this kind for July and August. ——The Bellefonte Academy minstrels drew a large audience at Garman’s opera house last night, and the performance was one of the best ever rendered by these fun-makers. The musical num- bers were all new and delightful, some of them making special hits with the audience. If you failed to attend last night you will have another opportunity this evening. But remember tonight will positively be their last appearance. ve ——Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Nixon, of Mill Hall, have announced the engagement of theip daughter, Miss Helen E. Nixon, to Trood D.

He now holds the position of chief clerk in the engine department of the New York and Hudson river railroad at Clear- field. an ——Danger and hardship are practic- ally unknown to the enthusiastic motion- picture actor when it comes to getting up a “thriller,” and some of the incidents portrayed on the screen atthe Scenic which are belived to have been made by dummies were really worked out by liv- ing this beings. The Scenic is show- ing these kind of pictures right along and you can’t get more for your money than by being a regular patron of this popular place of amusement. ——Rev. Fred W. Barry has resigned as pastor of the Lutheran church charge at Centre Hall and will leave about the middle of June for Cumberland, Md, where he will become pastor of one of the leading and influential churches of that city. Rev. Barry went to Centre Hall from Bellefonte some three or four | years ago and has been quite successful in his pastorate there. ; He will go to Cumberland with the best wishes of his parishioners for his future success. ——Last Saturday the Nittany Country club received two more pheasants from Harry H. Schroyer, for breeding pur- poses. They were what is known as Silver pheasants, and the hen certainly looked the name. The cock, however, had little of the color of silver about him, but he was an exceptionally beauti- ful bird. His coat of feathers was most- ly brilliant red, with hues and tints of many colors. This makes five imported birds the club has received from Mr. Schroyer for propagating purposes. —. ——Several weeks ago we announced the fact that Vincent Nicholas Taylor had been appointed a cadet to West Point by Congressman Charles E. Patton, and had gone to Baltimore to take the ex- amination for entrance. On Tuesday his father, Col. H. S. Taylor, received a tele- gram announcing that he had success- fully passed all the examinations requir- ed by the military authorities and had been ordered to report at West Point on July first. Vincent is the second son of Col. Taylor and graduated from the Bellefonte High school class of 1913. ——Madeline Thomas, the four year old daughter of Joseph Thomas, was the victim of an accident yesterday morn- ing that might have resulted in serious injury, but fortunately the child was not hurt in the least. A number of children were playing on west High street when the ice wagon stopped for the delivery of ice. Robert Walker was coming into town from the McCalmont & Co. office in the big Franklin car when the child ran directly in front of the machine. She was knocked down and the front wheel passed over her body. Robert Walker succeeded in stopping the car within ten feet, so that the rear wheels did not touch the little girl. Those who saw the accident were horrorstruck, but the little girl crawled from under the machine and ran home, not even think- ing enough about the accident to tell her mother. ——*“Sallie Derby,” Irvin Gray's well known pacing mare, got tangled in a wire fence last Friday evening, fell and broke her neck. Notwithstanding the fact that her neck was broken she lived two days, dying on Sunday. “Sallie Derby” was the best known pacer in Central Pennsylvania. Mr. Gray raised her from a colt and trained her for the track. She began racing when three years old and for nine or ten years ap- peared on the track throughout Pennsyl- vania, New York and Maryland. She had a mark of 2.11} and won 2 number of races, although Mr. Gray generally drove her for second place. She was a regular pet of a horse and could be handled as easily by a woman as a man. Six years ago while in Baltimore she caught cold and developed an attack of pneumonia and since that time she has seldom appeared on the track. Miss EMMA SHAY ACQUITTED OF MUR- DER.—ALt 4.15 o'clock Saturday evening, after the case had been on trial two days and a half the jury in the case of the Commonwealth vs. Emma Shay, on trial for murder, brought in a verdict of “not guilty,” and the young woman was promptly discharged froin the custody of the sheriff by the court. The details of this case were publish- ed in this paper less than two months ago, and on account of the character of the same we deem it unnecessary and unwise to again publish the same in full. Suffice it to say that the general impres- sion of the majority of those who heard the evidence was that the Commonwealth failed in establishing circumstantial evi- dence sufficiently strong to warrant the girls’ conviction even for one of the mi- nor grades of murder, and this is the way the jury evidently reviewed the facts, ac- cording to the verdict they returned. The case was called for trial on Thurs- day afternoon and when court adjourned that evening only eleven jurors had been secured, though the panel had been ex- hausted and talesmen called for an hour before court adjourned. It did not take long on Friday morning, however, to se- cure the twelfth juror. It took all of Friday to hear the Com- monwealth’s side of the: case. The de- fense was put in Saturday morning and Clement Daie Esq., made his argument to the jury. At the opening of the after- noon session of court district attorney D. Paul Fortney summed up for the Commonwealth after which Judge Orvis delivered a very fair and impartial charge. The jury retired at 2.50 o'clock and at just 4.15, or in one hour and twen- ty-five minutes, announced their verdict. The jury which sat upon the case was made up as follows: George G. Parker, florist, Philipsburg. A. M. Vail, laborer, Philipsburg. H. P. Zerby, farmer, Walker. H. B. Parsons, carpenter, Patton. Joseph Beckenbach, farmer, Miles. Reuben Dumbleton, laborer, Rush. J. E. Harter, merchant, Penn. Fred Henry, laborer, S. Philipsburg. Jos. Swires, farmer, Philipsburg. Irvin Smith, laborer, Haines. Chas. G. Yearick, Howard, (talesman.) LEATHERS—SNYDER.— The parlors of the Park hotel, Williamsport, were the scene of a quiet wedding at noon on Wednesday when Miss Florence Ethel Snyder, of Lock Haven, became the bride of Fred Leathers, of Howard. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. A. Lawrence Miller, pastor of the Lock Haven Trinity M. E. church, the beautiful ring ceremony being used, and the happy couple were attended by George Leathers, of Howard, a brother of the bridegroom, and Mrs. H. D. Jordan, of Allentown, a sister of the bride. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elias Snyder, of Lock Haven; is a graduate of the Central State Normal school class of '02, and for seven succes- sive terms has been a teacher in the Beech Creek public schools. She is a lady of high ideals and rare attainments, and has many friends who wish her un- bounded happiness in her matrimonial venture. The bridegroom is a well known resident of Howard, being the head of the firm of Leathers Bros., large real estate dealers. Following the wedding ceremony a private luncheon was served the bridal party, which included only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties, after which Mr. and Mrs. Leathers left on a honeymoon trip which will include many eastern cities and a trip up the Hudson. They will be at home at Howard after July first. HARTLE—BANEY.—Alias C. Hartle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert J. Hartle, and Miss Margaret G. Baney, both well known young people of Spring township, were married at the Catholic church at eight o'clock on Tuesday morning by Rev. Father McArdle. The young couple were attended by Joseph Bertram and Miss Margaret Hartle, a sister of the bride, while quite a number of their young friends were present as witnesses. Following the ceremony the happy young couple left on the morning trainon a brief wedding trip.

Miss Smith acknowledged that the town had changed con- siderable in that time, but recalled a number of houses as being almost identical in appearance with what they were then—many, many years ago; some of them seemed to be exactly the same buildings they were when, as a little girl, she went to public school on the hill up back of the court house.
