BRIEF SESSION OF BOROUGH COUNCIL.—
There were no verbal or written commu-
nications at the regular session of bor-
ough council on Monday evening. i
Chairman Harris, of the Street com-!
mittee, reported the laying of the sewer
from the brick school house grounds to
Ridge street, and stated that it had been
put down through the rear lots of the
property owners, in order to avoid dig-
ging up the street. He also presented a
resolution in effect that in consideration
of the property owners granting the bor-
ough the privilege of putting down the
sewer through their property the bor-
ough was to place a “Y” on each property |
for tapping purposes, keep the sewer in
repair, and when repairs are made to re- |
place the sod and put the surface in nor- |
mal condition. On motion of Mr. Seibert |
seconded by Mr. Cherry the resolution
was passed.
The Sanitary committee reported weeds
on vacant lots that ought to be cut and
the owners due notice.
The Finance committee stated that it
was impossible to make a report on the
duplicate of water tax collecor W. A. Ish-
the auditors had not completed their
audit of the late Mr. Ishler’s accounts,
but as soon as they did so the committee
would be in a position to report, and a
special meeting of council could be held
for that purpose, inasmuch as a new col-
lector should be appointed as soon as
possible. :
The Special committee reported that
they had investigated the complaint of
G. R. Danenhower & Son, regarding con-
ditions at the Phcenix- mill, and found
that the roof needed repairs; that the
machinery stored therein ought to be re-
moved, and Mr. Yeager expected to get
it out in the near future, but that there
was nothing in the lease whereby coun-
cil could be held to put the elevator in
running condition. The committee also
reported that they had spcken to officials
of the State-Centre Electric company re-
garding the poor light on the streets and
they said that they had new lightson the
way which they hoped would prove sat-
isfactory.
Mr. Seibert of the Fire and Police com-
mittee recommended that the bid of the
Eureka Fire Hose Manufacturing compa-
ny for 500 feet of fire hose at 90 cents a
foot be accepted and the recommenda-
tion was passed by council.
Bills to the amount of $309.45 were ap-
proved and council adjourned.
roe
WILLIAM A. MOORE FOR MAYOR.—The
Republicans of North Tonawanda, N. Y.,
have unaminously decided upon William
A. Moore as their canditate for Mayor
at the coming primaries. Mr. Moore, who
was formerly president of the Nit:
tany Iron company in this place, is now
vice president and general manager of
the Tonawanda Iron & Steel company, a
position of considerable prominence in
North Tonawanda. His many friends
here regardless of political affiliations,
wish him success in the political arena,
because they feel sure that no one could
wear the official toga with greater dignity
and commanding more respect than he
could. Mr. Moore has signified his will-
ingness to accept if given a full endorse-
ment at the primaries, and promises to
give the people of North Tonawanda a
clean, businesslike administration.
THE CENTRE HALL POSTOFFICE.—A re-
port has been received in Centre Hall of
the standing of those who took the ex-
amination for the postoffice appointment
and Ress Bushman, teacher of the Cen-
tre Hail grammar school, stood highest
with Miss Tillie Keller second. Miss
Keller has been postmaster Boal’s faith-
ful assistant for a number of years and
most of the residents of Centre Hall
would like to have her appointed. Mr.
Bushman was interviewed as to whether
he would keep Miss Keller as his assist-
ant if he were appointed, and he would
not agree to do so. Consequently on
Wednesday evening fifteen of the lead-
ing citizens of that town motored to
Bellefonte and consulted counsel relative
to some proceeding by which pressure
can be brought to bear on the Postoffice
Department to have Miss Keller ap-
pointed.

INJURED ON SAW MILL.—While at work
on a saw mill at Dix station, in upper
Bald Eagle valley on Saturday afternoon,
James M. Goss, a seventeen years old
young man, got his left foot caught in
the circular saw and sustained a very
serious injury. Goss had been working
on the mill over two years but the acci-
dent was not caused through careless-
ness. He was passing close to the saw
on an errand when his foot slipped, and
partially falling, his foot was caught by
the saw. He was taken to the Altoona
hospital in an automobile where it was
found that the foot was almost severed
and he was very weak from loss of
blood.
A BIG DAY AT HUNTER'S PARK.—Yes-
terday, Thursday, was a big day up at
Hunter's park. The P. O. S. of A,
Knights of the Golden Eagle, the Or-
ders of Woodmen, Royal Neighbors and
Red Men all picnicked tegether, and the
abundance of good things to eat and the
general good times enjoyed by the big
crowd present, made one feel good just
to know that there are plenty of people
in this section of the country who can
take a day off occasionally and look as if
there is ‘plenty to be thankful for, even
if Europe has a war on its hands and our
Republican friends expect defeat sure,
this fall.
——A dozen Bellefonters made the
trip to Lakemornt park, Altoona, and re-
turn on Wednesday, in Emerick’s big
motor bus.
——Only one more week until the
opening of the public schools. Thanks-
giving and Christmas will be here before
we realize it.
——The Liberty Baptist Sunday school
will hold their annual picnic in Eaton's
grove Saturday, August 22nd. Our Boys
band, of Milesburg, has been engaged to
furnish music for the picnic and also for
the festival which will be held the same
evening. Everybody is invited to attend
and participate in the joyful gathering.

——We are indebted to Harry Ulmer
Tibbens for a program of the West Vir-
ginia State fair to be held September 7th
to 11th inclusive. Almost $9,000 are of-
fered as purses for four days racing, in
addition to the liberal list of premiums.
Being a State fair it is a big annual
event, and draws thousands to Wheeling
every day,

——The funeral of Albert S. Brown,
who was killed in an automobile acci-
dent at Bigler on Wednesday of last
week, was held from his home at Osceola
Mills on Saturday and was very largely
attended. Mr. Brown was one of the
most prominent residents of that town
and his death is universally deplored.
All the other victims of the accident are
improving and on a fair road to re-
covery.
——It is hardly necessary to say any-
thing to the ladies this year as their de-
partment at the Centre county fair is
always one of the best, and we doubt not
it will be as good as ever this year. Cen-
tre county women are renowned through-
out the State for their good cooking, and
the display at the fair is always so at-
tractive it makes one hungry to look at
it. They are also adepts in art, needle
and fancy work of all kinds.
——The store of the Bald Eagle
Supply company, at Curtin was
burglarized on Sunday night but the
burglars got only about a half a dollar
for their trouble. This was taken from
the cash drawer, which was broken open.
Mr. Glenn also keeps the postoffice but
nothing was taken from this department,
Inasmuch as not a door or window was
found open on Monday morning it is
believed that the burglar gained entrance
through the use of a skeleton key.
——The Republican district commit:
teemen of Centre county met here on
Wednesday to discuss the preliminaries
for the fall campaign and among those
known as redoubtable Republican work-
ers we noticed Chas. G. Avery, Samuel
H. Wigton, and G. C. Troutman, from
Philipsburg; Harry Stuart, of Sandy
Ridge; W. C. Snyder, Squire J. Harris
Hoy, Charley Watson and Dave Cham-
bers, from Snow Shoe. They all looked
smiling and confident, but we should
worry!

——The Garmans have had plans pre-
pared for the remodeling of the old stone
house at Axe Mann the old J. Fearon
Mann residence, into an up-to-date
and convenient club house. The
old portion on the northern side of
the building will be moved to the rear
and fixed up in a substantial manner.
The roof at the front and side will be ex-
tended out ten or twelve feet, to make a
big, comfortable porch, and will be sup-
ported by columns. Bath rooms will be
installed and a ram put in the spring to
force the water to any part of the house.
The rear portion of the house will be
occupied all the year by a caretaker
while the club house proper will be for
the accommodation of any member of
of the Garman family who cares to oc-
cupy it at times during the summer.
——On Sunday evening F. J. Barany,
a foreigner, went to the Palace livery
and hired a horse and buggy to drive to
Pleasant Gap. He was given the old
Dale horse and going to the Gap he got
another countryman by the name of
John Kelly and the two of them drove
around until almost midnight. Finally.
they were seen driving up High street,
whipping the horse to make it go faster.
Chief of police Dukeman was notified
and he arrested Kelly as he was driving
to the livery stable. Barany had gone to
a hotel and to bed, but a warrant was
sworn out for him and he was arrested
Monday morning. The two men were
given a hearing the same day before
Squire Musser on the charge of cruelty
to animals, as the horse was covered
with huge welts, and were fined twenty
dollars each and costs or a total of $50.50.
——There was a small strike out at
the penitentiary on Monday among the
imported mechanics. The Thompson
Starrett company, which has the contract
for the building of the death house, erect-
ed a large shed where the men employed
on the building can seek shelter when it
rains. No time is taken: off the men if
they are only off work an hour or so.
When it rained on Monday morning the
workmen all went home instead of wait-
ing until it quit, then wanted pay for the
full day. This the company would not
allow, hence the strike. The men refus-
ed to go to work on Tuesday and when
the company’s !superintendent, Henry
Keep, who had been at his home in Ban-
gor, Me., returned he found everything
at a standstill. He at once took the mat-
ter up with the walking delegate in Pitts.
burgh, with the result that the men were
ordered to go back to work and lose the
1 day.
HAVE You MET HiIM?—Have you ever
i met Ellis Freeman, advertising agent of
| the Pittsburgh & Susquehanna Railroad

i lieving that you were skimming along |
| over 100 Ib. rails, laid on mahogany ties,
. ballasted with trap rock in one of the
most luxurious productions of the Pull-
man shops. How the Hon. Ellis has kept
these last thirty-five years, more or less,
we are utterly unable to understand bit
he is discovered now.
Bellefonte on Tuesday was to exploit the
big head-on collision of two passenger
trains on the “Allepopper,” which will be
pulled off near Philipsburg for the Lubin
Film Co., on September 7th, 8th and 9th,
Really it is going to be worth seeing. A

figures as the thriller and Ellis tells us
that there will be an audience of not less
than fifty thousand people at one dollar

same track.
For your information we quote him as
to the make-up of the crowd of visitors
that will storm Philipsburg on these three
momentous days.

three thousand from Jersey Shore, fifteen
Run, Chester Hill and Grass Flat.
there will be standing room for all who
most gigantic amusement enterprise, the
most spectacular hair-raising thriller that
has ever been pulled off in Central Penn-
sylvania.
If we didn’t know that they are in the
habit of doing big things over in our sis-
ter town surely we would have to charge
Ellis with putting “con” in confidence.

Opp FELLOWS PICNIC.—In accordance
with their custom of the past few years
the Odd Fellows of State College and
Bellefonte will hold their annual picnic
at Hunter's park on Labor day, Septem-

ing will be in shape of a basket picnic

~The biggest part of the Republican ticket
swooped down upon Bellefonte on Tuesday.
There was Charles H. Rowland, of Philipsburg,
who wants to go to Congress; S. J. Miller, of
Madera, who believes he would make a good
State Senator, and Harry B. Scott, of Philips-
burg, who wants to represent Centre county in
the House of Representatives at Harrisburg.
Harry is the thinner of the three but he had
George W. Zeigler Esq., along to back him up so
that the avoirdupois of both was equal to either
one of the others. They are a trio of good fel-
lows and it is really too bad that they are doomed
to defeat by the Democratic triumvirate, Tobias,
Patterson and Miller.
