ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. To DRILL FOR OIL IN MILES TOWN- sHIP.—The usual rustic quietude of Miles township has met with a medium-sized cyclonic disturbance by the declaration of a well known firm of McKean county oil operators that there is little doubt but that Brush valley is all underlaid with oil. Residents of that peaceful valley first had their suspicions aroused when they found an oily substance in holes in marshy ground made by the hoofs of cattle. Oil operators were interviewed and Sullivan & Goodwin, of Kane, sent their geologist to Rebersburg to make an examination. He reported that Brush valley was in the same geological strattum as the oil fields of McKean county and a sample of sand taken from the borings of a deep well was tested and found to contain oil and to be similar to sand strattums found in the oil belt. In fact the indications 100k so favorable that Sullivan & Good- win have decided to bore prospect holes to test out the vallev. On Monday their well boring machinery was hauled from the depot to the J. H. Gephart farm near Rebersburg, where the first hole will be put down. They already have 7,200 pounds of casing on the grounds and it; ! took charge of the remains and they is expected that they will begin actual | MCWILLIAMS. — George Washington McWilliams died at his farm home at Fairbrook at 6 15 o'clock last Satur- day evening and thus passed to its re- ward a spirit that stood up bravely un- der conditions most trying to the bravest ! heart. Twenty years ago Mr. McWil- when he lost the sight of one eye through injury and the other later became sightless. The affliction was a heavy one but when he realized his sight was permanently gone he decided to make the best of it, and in time was able to go around his farm alone and to superintend its man- agement. Two years ago his wife was so badly burned when her clothing caught fire while boiling soap that she died in a few hours. This was the hardest blow for the faithful husband and the tragedy of her death so preyed upon him that he became enfeebled in body and mind, though still able to be up and around the house. On Wednesday of last week he suffered a stroke of paralysis and never liams was a happy, prosperous farmer, NoORRIS.—Mrs. Mary E. Norris, wife of Henry Norris, of Fillmore, was found dead in bed last Wednesday. She retir- ed on Tuesday evening apparently in the best of health and her death came very suddenly. Paralysis was assigned as the cause. : Deceased was a daughter of George and Sarah Johnstonbaugh and was born ‘at Boalsburg on February 14th, 1841. She was married to Mr. Norris on De- cember 24th, 1863, and most of her life ' since had been spent in Buffalo Run val- ‘ley. In addition to her husband she is survived by two children, Charles R., of State College, and Mabelle A., at home. She also leaves the following brothers and sisters: Alpheus Johnstonbaugh, 1 of Jersey Shore; William and James, of | State College; George, of Pine Grove i Mills; Charles, of Bellefonte; Dr. C. L. ! Johnstonbaugh, of Bethlehem, and Mrs. Charles Collins, of Pine Grove Mills. : Funeral services were held in the Fill- more M. E. church last Saturday morn- IMPROVEMENTS TO GARMAN'S OPERA House.—Bellefonters who attended the opening of the theatrical season at Gar- man’s opera house on Monday evening were very agreeably surprised at the im- provements which have been made there during the summer, especially in the hallway leading to the auditorium. New plate glass swinging doors are at the en- trance and the sides of ‘the hallway have been panelled and mirrored in a Pull- man effect, so as to give an impression of magnificent distances. The painting is in mahogany and white. The interior swing doors are of oval frosted glass, making a very neat entrance. No interior improvements have yet been made but they will consist of new gold freize paper on the walls, new scenery, fresh paint, etc. New linoleum has been put down in the hallway which does away with the noise and confusion on entering and leaving the theatre. New stained glass windows have also been put in, all of which are on hinges SEPTEMBER TERM OF COURT.—The reg- ular September term of court convened on Monday morning with Judge Ellis L. Orvis presiding. After the various con- stables had made their returns the grand jury was called and sworn and W. A. Lyon, of Bellefonte, appointed ‘foreman. The lists of civil cases for the first and of which had been settled and others continued for various reasons. The first case called was that of the Commonwealth vs. Jacob Burkhart, for carrying concealed deadly weapons. The defendant waived . the finding of the grand jury and plead guilty.

Under his man- agement it continued to be one of the mast productive farms in that section of the county, and his improvement of the buildings made it one of the most com- fortable farm homes, also. Mr. McWil- liams was a Democrat in politics and was elected to various township offices, all of which he filled with the strictest fidelity. He was a member of the Reformed church and a charter member of Centre Grange No. 254 P. of H. On February 22nd, 1860, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Keichline, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Keich- line, and for fifty-two years they trod Eight children were born to them, all of whom survive, as follows: Henry, at home; Mrs. New- ton E. Hess, of State College; Mrs. N. E. Dreiblebis, of White Hall; Mrs. Edward Bowersox, of Altoona; Mrs. Alice Buch- liams, of Cannonsburg, Pa.; John E., of Fairbrook, and George W., of Harrisburg. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Mary Jane Stewart, of Altoona. Funeral services were held at his late home at ten o’clock on Tuesday morning by his pastor, Rev. S. C. Stover, after which the remains were conveyed to Pine Grove Mills and laid to rest in the new cemetery. the late Solomon Candy, of Howard, died in the Lock Haven hospital on Sunday morning of heart disease and dropsy. She was born at Loganton on October 7th, 1838, hence was almost seventy-six years old. She was married to Mr. Can- dy when a young woman and a good part of her married life was spent at How- ard. Since the death of her husband fifteen years ago she made her home with her children. She was a member of the Reformed church and a highly re- spected woman all her life. Surviving her are the following children: Clar- ence and Charles Candy, of Tyrone; Harry and Mrs. Cora Quigg, of Johnson- burg; Mrs. Eva Lee, of Lock Haven; Mrs. Anna Daley, of Altoona; Oscar, of Stonesboro, and William Candy, a step- son, of State College. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon, burial being made at Howard. | | KNEss.—Harker Kness, an aged color- ed man, died at the Bellefonte hospital at 12.30 o'clock on Sunday morning. On Wednesday of last week he was found on the farm of William B. Pletcher, near Howard, scantily clad and in a starving condition. Nourishment was given him after which he was sent to the Bellefonte hospital. Very little can be learned about the man. It is said that he spent part of the summer at Julian, doing odd jobs whenever and wherever he could get work. .. He was first seen at Howard last Tuesday but his pitiable plight was not discovered until the next day. He was about eighty years of age and his death was no doubt due to a generally run down condition and lack of proper nourish- ment. Funeral director F. E. Naginey walter, of Lancaster; Prof. S. P.

C. LEGATION DE BELGIQUE, WASHINGTON, D. C. Monday, September 28, 1914. Dear Miss Valentine: — Will you be my spokesman on this oc- casion and kindly express to all those who so generously contributed to the re- lief of the unfortunate and destitute women and children of Belgium my deep appreciation and gratitude. Charity such as the people of Bellefonte have shown my poor countrymen needs no words of praise, coming as it does from the heart, it has touched me deeply and : I want to thank you one and all for your sympathy and help. Without Miss Val- entine I could not have reached you, and therefore I am most grateful to her and to you, as well as to Rev. Mr. Charlton who also has been of so great assistance. Thanking you for your co-operation, be- lieve me, Cordially yours, MADAME HELEN HAVENITH. THE MANHATTAN PLAYERs.—The gen- eral demand for cheap priced amuse- ments has been answered by the Man- | hattan Players, an excellent organization appear at Garmans all of next week, at unusually low prices. The Manhattan Players include many well known actors and present a line of well known and successful plays. It will be remembered with pleasure that this company played a week’s engagement at Garmans last sea- son to good houses. The usual matinee will be given Saturday. Ladies’ 15 cent tickets are being issued for Monday night, but must be reserved in advance. oo GRAY— WAGNER. — A rather belated wedding notice but one which will inter- est WATCHMAN readers in Ferguson township was that of Ralph W. Gray, of Williamsport, and Miss Clara Wagner, of Newberry, the marriage having taken place in the Newberry M. E. church on August 5th. The bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Gray, who for many years lived at Fairbrook, this coun- ty. He is now book-keeper for a large grocery firm in Williamsport. The young couple are living in Newberry. A DousBLE WEDDING. — On Monday forenoon there was a double wedding in the United Evangelical church at Millheim when Misses Grace and Esther Throssel, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Throssel, became the brides respectively of William A. L. Woodruff, of Passaic, N. J., and McClellan Shively, of Mifflin- burg. The ceremony was performed by Rev. W. H. Brown, while the wedding march was played by Miss Ruth Brown. ~ WILSON-—MILLER. — At the United Brethren parsonage on Sunday evening at six o’clock James Arthur Wilson, .son of Mr. and Mrs. James Wilson, and Miss Marie M. Miller, daughter of Mrs. Reuben Miller, both of Bellefonte, were united in marriage by the pastor, Rev. A. B. Sprague. WELLOR—MCNEIL.—Daniel Wellor and Miss Edith E. McNeil, both of Bellefonte, were united in marriage on Monday morning by justice of the peace W. H. Musser, at his office in the Crider build- ing. -i —In our account of the big fire last week we omitted to mention the loss of the State-Centre Electric company, whose new pole line was entirely destroyed along the full length of the fire. While the companay’s monetary loss was prob- ably less than five hundred dollars, re- pair of the damage retarded the work on the building of their lines through to State College. np fp le ——Miss Sallie Fitzgerald entertained a number of her young lady friends at a tango tea last Saturday afternoon in hon- or of her guest, Miss Ellen Rook. In honor of the same young lady Miss Winifred M. Gates gave a Scenic party .on Monday evening which was followed with refreshments at Knisely’s. playing comedies and dramas, which will hardly recognize it as the same place. - But if the order that prevailed on the, opening night is to be the order of the coming season there will be little need | for interior improvements. What does a crowd of rowdies who hiss, cat call, whistle and stamp care about fresh paint, new scenery and a clean house? And how long wil! people who really go to enjoy a play stand for such. annoyance. Manager Garman might as well make up his mind right at the start that he is expected to manage his own opera house and if he doesn’t do it he can’t expect! He is taking : the public to patronize it. an entirely erroneous view of the situa- tion if the statement is true that is cred- ited to him to the effect that he can’t make certain crowds be quiet for fear they will boycott him. In the first place they won't boycott the opera house and in the second, he’ll get two or more de- cent patrons for every rowdy who is: ejected. We know of a number of good book- ings that he has already made for this season. “Potash and Perlmutter,” for instance, is an exceptional road show to touch Bellefonte but what assurance do those older people, who would like to enjoy this striking comedy, have that a night of anticipated pleasure will not become a veritable nightmare through the wholly unnecessary conduct of a gang | of hoodlums. 4 What manager Garman needs -more than anything else is the courage to as- sert his managerial office. It’s his duty to the majority of his patrons to see that the minority does not deprive them of the enjoyment they have paid their mon- ey to get. And the WATCHMAN believes that if he were to deal with this nuisance in the most drastic manner he would have a very successful season. ooo — i THE WORLD'S SERIES AT THE SCENIC.— Manager T. Clayton Brown of the Scenic has a surprise in store for you. The world’s series base-ball games are to be played right here in Bellefonte just as they are being played in Boston or Phila- delphia. : An electrical score board is now being set up atthe Scenic and on the afternoon of the first great world’s series games those who go to that popular place will see an exact reproduction of the game as it is being played. The board is in the form of a regular base ball field. The players in their positions in the field and on the bench are represented by electric lights. When Murphy goes to the bat for the Athletics a light flashes at Murphy’s name in the batting order. A light flashes at the position of the Boston pitcher in the box. As the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand the light goes out to reappear in the catcher’s position, if it is a ball or a strike. But should he hit the first ball pitched a light appears in the field in the location that the ball has landed, then it is fielded to 1st, 2nd or 3rd as the case may be. If Murphy reaches either bag a light shows which one, if heis fielded out a red light at that bag shows the play. In this manner every detail of the game is worked out and all that a Bellefonte audience will miss of the excitement of the games will be the sight of the play- ers themselves and the thrill of the en- vironment. BIG SALE OF MILEAGE Books.—The in- crease in the price of mileage books by the Pennsylvania railroad company from $20.00 to $22.50, beginning October 1st, created an unusual demand for them during the month of September. There were sold at the Bellefonte office during the month approximately five hundred books, which would mean a revenue of $10,000. By noon on Wednesday they were out of books but all requests for same were taken and the books deliver- ed yesterday. State College sold 216, aggregating $4,320, while Harrisburg’s requisition for the last day alone was for one thousand books. From this it will be seen that the company’s receipts for mileage books during the month of September would run into the millions. The books are good for one year from date of purchase. ——The Bellefonte Academy football team opened the season last Saturday-in a game with the State College scrubs, winning by the score of 19 to 0. | costs. ...Commonwealth vs. Charles.

Our hunters simply smile and say—yes, prehaps. The school directors have erected signs above and below the Academy, reading “Caution, school building 150 yards ahead. Drivers of automobiles must positively run slow, on accoung of children.” Will they heed it? Our new postoffice building is almost com- Mr. Zubler, our newly appointed postmaster, ex- pects to occupy the building and enter upon the duties of the office during next week. The ball nuisance still continues on the main thoroughfare in front of the Academy, and no doubt will continue until some one is hurt by a stray ball, or one of the players rundown by an automobile. Then, possibly, the nuisance will be abated. ‘ to The managers of the Spring Mills Grange are putting their hall in a very fine condition. In addition to having erected an extension of over 20 feet to the main building, they have also re- | arranged and greatly improved the interior, have added a fine stage with a dressing room at each wing.
