BRIEF RESUME OF COUNCIL’S DOINGS. —
Fire warden John McSuley appeared be-
fore borough council, at its regular meet-
ing on the evening of July 6th, and stat-
ed that the fire department was badly in
need of 800 feet of hose, 500 for the Lo-
gans and 300 for the Undines. The Fire
and Police committee endorsed the re-
quest, but as the cost would be in the
neighborhood of $800, the matter was re-
ferred to the committee for investigation
as to prices, and how little it would be
possible to get along with for the pres-
ent.
The Street committee submitted its an-
nual recommendation for repairs and
new pavements, and the clerk was in-
structed to serve the proper notices. The
committee made complaint about the
poor condition of the light on the streets.
Chairman Harris also stated that he had
consulted Supt. Johnston about the block-
ing of High street at train times and
that official stated that the thing could
be obviated by sending two coaches here
and making Bellefonte a switching sta-
tion from Milesburg. No action was tak-
en in the matter.
The Fire and Police committee report-
ed the fire at Naginey's store and Mr.
Naginey requested information relative
to the ordinance prohibiting the erection
of wooden buildings within a certain dis-
trict. The clerk volunteered to furnish
the information.
A communication from Wm. P. Phil-
ips, assistant secretary of the society
for the prevention of cruelty tc animals,
to Mrs. John P. Harris, was read, stating
that he knew of no reason why public
watering fountains should not be erected
in boroughs. Councilman W. A. Lyon
presented a letter from Dr. C.J. Mar-
shall, State Veterinarian, stating that his
department advised against the erection
of public fountains or watering troughs,
as they were accounted the worst spread-
ers of disease among animals, and it was
highly probable a bill would be presented
at the next session of the Legislature for
their entire abolishment. Under such a
condition no action was taken on the Ww.
C. T. U’s request for permission to erect
a public fountain for man and beast.
The Finance committee asked the re-
newal of notes for $2,000 and $1,500 dat-
ed July 1st, for one year and one for
$3,000 dated July 7th, for one year, and
at the same time called the attention of
council to the fact that greater economy
would have to be observed all along the
line, or they would be back in the old
rut of borrowing more money. The re-
newal of the above notes were author-
ized, bills to the amount of $2,000.02 ap-
proved and council adjourned.

his father’s shops at Peoria to learn the
boilermaker’s trade. In 1885 the family

gaged in the boiler making business in
the old building adjoining the railroad
where the Potter-Hoy Hardware compa-
ny’s warehouse now stands. Three
years later Isaac Maitland went to Wil-
liamsport as book-keeper for the E. Keel-
er company. In 1893 he was made treas-
urer of the concern and in 1900 general
manager, a position he held until his
death. He was a large stockholder in
the concern and also president of the
Keeler Motor Car company.
Shortly after leaying Bellefonte he was
united in marriage to Miss Minnie B.

for several years with asthma but the
direct cause of her death was Bright’s
disease. For eight years she had been a
member of the Lemont Presbyterian
churc¢h, and though not able to attend
much during the past year, her patient,
| non-complaining suffering bears testi-
{ mony to her faith.

't Samuel, Ina and Mary. Funeral services
were held last Wednesday afternoon by
Rev. W. K. Harnish, after which burial

CAUTION NOTICE.—There has been a
general complaint throughout the town
of the non-enforcement of the traffic
ordinance, especially relative to the cut-
out. The non-compliance with this ordi-
nance is especially noticed on east Bishop
street. We, therefore, give notice that
the authorities will hereafter insist upon
a more strict compliance with the ordi-
nance and will prosecute to the full any
one violating it.

To REPAIR BRIDGE.—A joint meeting
of the County Commissioners of Centre
and Clearfield counties was held at the
Sheffer Hotel, Philipsburg, Wednesday
last to take up the question of a bridge
over Moshannon creek at Presqueisle
street. The subject of repairing the old
bridge or rebuilding a new one has been
under consideration for some time, and
several months ago the latter course was
decided upon.
Water Supply Commission became nec-
essary and plans were submitted to it in
detail last April. Their decision on the
matter was not reached until their July
meeting, and word of their decision was .
received by the Commissioners at the,
end of last week.
ed the plans submitted for a two span
bridge, but coupled the same with such
conditions and qualifications that the
Con-
project had to be abandoned.
ditions imposed upon the counties would
have involved the condemnation of a con- !
siderable stretch of Presqueisle street,
for a third span, would have involved the
counties in a probable expenditure of
many thousands of dollars to pay dam-
ages to property owners and would have
caused additional delay if the require-
ments of the commission were met.
addition those requirements compelled
the Commissioners to guarantee the
; performance of certain conditions by the
authorities of Chester Hill borough, which
was beyond the power and jurisdiction
iof County Commissioners.
condition related to the street or road on
, the Chester Hill side of the bridge.
i The imperative need of some way of
: crossing the creek without further delay,
together with the burdensome conditions
of the Water Supply Commission, caused
the abandonment of the proposed new
bridge. Plans are now under way for
the permanent repair of the present
structure, and it is expected that work
will be begun upon it within a couple of
weeks.
will be given him to go over the plans
and specifications before work is actually

the construction of the new bridge, and
i only the burdensome conditions imposed

PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM PENITEN-
' TIARY.—John Bair and Pasquale Carmil-
! lo, two of the trusties, escaped from the
i about 8.30 o’clock on Sunday evening
rand after less than twenty hours’ liberty ;
| were captured on the James Clarke farm '
{in Buffalo Run valley. The two men
were given permission Sunday evening to
; go from the prison building to an outside
; lavatory. Failing to return in half an
| Hour a search was made which disclosed
the fact that the men had in some way
gotten out of the barbed wire stockade
and made their escape.
All the available guards were called
out and a general search instituted but
ed during the night. Guards were sent
out in all directions on Monday but it
was not until about the middle of the
afternoon when the two men were run
down on the Clarke farm. The Italian
had fallen over a ledge of rock up Spring
creek and injured his one leg quite bad-
ly, hence was not able to make good
time in his attempted get-away.
The men were captured by deputy
warden Daughenbaugh and overseer
Charles Houser. They were brought to
Bellefonte and confined in the Centre
county jail awaiting their return to the
penitentiary at Pittsburgh. The men
will now not only be compelled to serve
the full term of their sentence but will
have to answer to the additional charge
of escaping from the penitentiary. One
of the men is from Allegheny county and
the other from McKean, and these coun-
ties will have to bear the expense of
their trial on the latter charge.
ON THE SICK LIST.—On Monday, July
6th, district attorney D. Paul Fortney suf-
fered an attack of acute indigestion while
at work in his office and for several days
his condition was regarded as quite seri-
ous, but he is now able to be around
although not fully recovered by any
means.
R. S. Brouse has been confined to bed
since the first of July with an ailment
that is proving quite troublesome, though
yesterday he seemed a little better.
Both Hon. J. Henry and Samuel Wetzel
are somewhat improved over their con-
dition of two weeks ago, the latter able
to be out and around.
Ex-sheriff W. A. Ishler continues quite
ill at his home on Bishop street, though
yesterday he was regarded as slightly
better.
The condition of J. H. Robb is regard-
ed as extremely critical though he also
showed slight improvement yesterday.
Robt. F. Hunter is getting along as
well as possible with that broken leg and
his daughter Nancy is going around with
her left arm in a sling.
Miss Josephine White 1s confined to
bed at her room at the Brockerhoff
house, but her condition is not regarded
as serious.
Mr. George Ingram, one of the
faithful employees of the Fuel & Supply
Co., who has been off duty for the past
week on account of illness, is somewhat
improved and it is to be hoped that he
w ill soon be able to fill his vlace again.

NORDEN—ROCKEY.—Arthur Norden, of

Zion, were married at the parsonage of
the Bethany Reformed church at Bethle-
hem, on Thursday of last week, by the
pastor, Rev. H. I. Crow. The bride was
formerly a Centre county school teacher {
and later graduated in nursing at the
| University hospital, Philadelphia. The
: bridegroom is a graduate of the Poly-
technic school, Baltimore. They will

| ly 1st, James Dick, of Pitcairn, and Miss
i Florence G. Hamilton, daughter of Mr.

were married at Cumberland, Md. The
bride has been a telephone operator at
Pitcairn the past year, while the bride-
! groom is a passenger brakeman on the
| Pennsylvania railroad. They will go to
housekeeping at Edgewood.
OFF TO CAMP.—Troop L, Bellefonte’s
contingent of the newly formed cavalry
regiment of the National Guard, under
{command of Capt. William H. Brown,
will leave at noon today for their an-
nual encampment at Selinsgrove. They
{ will go by way of Lock Haven and it will
| require a special train of six cars to
| transport the troop, horses and equip-
ment. The fact that the troop was only
{ recently converted into cavalry is rather
! hard on the members in an effort to make
: a good showing at camp. Some of them,
probably, were never astride a horse until
recently and it is as yet awkward enough
for them to ride the animal without
guiding him correctly through cavalry
drill. The troop was out in force last
night for the first time, but did not give
a dress parade or exhibition drill.
DEDICATE NEW PLANT.—AIll of Miles-
burg and part of Boggs township turned
out on the evening of July 2nd to witness
the formal dedication of the State-Centre
Electric company’s new one hundred thou-
sand dollar plant at Milesburg. Howard
J. Thompson, local superintendent of the
company, acted as master of ceremonies
and music was furnished by the famous
Our Boys band of Milesburg. Speeches
were made by Clement Dale Esq., and
Revs. S. S. Clark, H. K. Ash and M. C.
Pifer. Manufacturing concerns, new or
old, can get free sites at Milesburg by in-
quiring in the proper way.
MANY APPLICANTS FOR ADMISSION TO
STATE COLLEGE.—On July 10th the num-
ber of students who had qualified for the
Freshman class at The Pennsylvania
State College was 455. On the same date
last year the number was 337. The vaca-
tion is only one-third over, and at this
rate there will be over 900 applicants by
September. The chances are that only
the 600 best prepared will be finally ac-
cepted. Only four of the eight buildings
authorized by the last Legislature will be
ready by September, and the number ad-
mitted must be limited accordingly.

POSTMASTER VALENTINE DISCOVERS
NEW STAR.—While out star-gazing on
Sunday evening postmaster Harry C. Val-
entine discovered a new “star,” which
appeared in the horizon above Muncy
mountain about due northwest. It’s re-
markable brilliancy is what attracted his
attention and he immediately hunted up
his book on astronomy to try and identi-
fy it. The star did not seem to be cata-
logued and naturally he became some-
what excited over his find and called up-
on his neighbors to view the star and
bear testimony to its discovery and about
half the residents of Curtin street be-
came enthusiastic star-gazers.
Monday morning Mr. Valentine was
considering how best to notify the astro-
nomical world ot his remarkable discov-
ery when William Burnside came down
from his retreat on Purdue mountain
and, being told about the star, calmly in-
formed Mr. Valentine that it was only
the big search-light he and his brother
Edward and Stanley Valentine had erect-
ed on a high point and which they had
burning for several hours Sunday night.
PUBLIC ScHOOL NEws.—The Bellefonte
public schools will open on Monday,
August 31st, for the 1914-"15 term. Miss
Lucyl Kemmerer, a graduate of State
College and who has taken work in Sim-
ons College and the Pratt Polytechnic
Institute, has been engaged to take
charge of the newly established course in
domestic science in the High school.
Chester H. Barnes has been elected to
take charge of the grammar grades in
the brick building.
REWARD FOR FISH DYNAMITERS.—The
State College gun club at a meeting held
July 1st, 1914, passed the following reso-
lution, due to the fact that there has
been much dynamiting of the trout
streams in the vicinity of State College:
Resolved, That the State College gun club offers
a reward of fifty dollars ($50.00), in addition to
the reward offered by the State for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of any one
dynamiting local streams stocked by members of
the State College gun club.
——On Friday evening, July 3rd, a
number of young men at Curtin were fir-
ing off revolvers in celebration of the ap-
proaching Fourth when a bullet from one
of the weapons struck Miss Margaret
Nyman in the left side, was deflected
downward by a corset steel and lodged
in her hip. Thus far the ball has not
been removed but the young woman's
condition is not serious. Had it not been
for the corset steel she might have been
killed.
