LAsT CONCRETE POURED ON DEATH House.—The Thompson Starrett Con- stauction company poured the last con- crete on the death house at the new pen- itentiary in Benner township, last Sat- urday,but it will take at least a month or six weeks to finish the building inside and put on the frills on the outside before it will be in shape to turn over to the State for service, as the first electrocution ‘will take place early in December. ——Pies, crullers and doughnuts fresh || A WATCHMAN reporter visited the ‘building on Saturday and through the ‘kindness of Henry Keep, superintendent in charge of the construction, he was shown around and through the building. 'It is massive in proportions and probably looks more so because of its ponderous two foot walls of double reinforced con- crete. The exterior of the walls are panelled, and the panels will all be ham- mered to resemble a stone inset, the bulk of the walls being rubbed and pol- ished like marble. The main portion of the building is 40x100 feet and two stories and a half high. A wing extends out on each end seventy feet in length, and one story high, which makes the total length 240 feet. On the first floor there is a wide corridor from north to south, and beneath this is a basement in which is installed a hot air heating plant, as the building will be separately heated from the main penitentiary buildings. To the left of the corridor as one enters the building from the south, and right beneath the electro- cution room, is located a monster gas engine and dynamo combined which will furnish the electrical fluid. Massive concrete steps wind from the lower corridor to the second floor. The eastern section of this floor is the cell room. In it are located six cells 8x10 feet in size, a bath room and a visitors room, all in one tier. They are built facing the south and will thus have the advantage of the sunlight most of the day. The corridor in front of the tier of cells is from ten to twelve feet wide, while a space from two to three feet wide extends around the end and along the rear of the cells, so that they are built entirely within the room. The cells are also of re-inforced concrete eight or ten inches thick. North of the corridor on the second floor is the electrocution room and as evidence of how little wood enters into the construction of the building the benches for the witnesses and physicians are made of concrete, with concrete backs, etc. West of the electrocution room is located the autopsy room. Every cell, room, stairway and entrance is en- closed with a massive steel grill door, with bars an inch and a half thick, and fitted with ponderous locks. The build- ing is lighted with big windows, protect- ed with huge steel bar gratings, built solidly in the concrete walls. An idea of the massiveness of these gratings can be had from the fact that they weigh just 1946 lbs. each, almost a ton. Verily the man who ‘enters there leaves hope be- “hind.” All the floors and ceilings are con- crete and even the roof is heavily rein- forced concrete, but for effect this will be topped by a slag roof. The two wings of the building will not be fully finished at this time but they are so constructed that they can be easily converted into cell rooms if there is a de- mand for them. The building will be plastered throughout. It will be well heated,lighted and ventilated and sanitary to the utmost degree. A complete water system also extends throughout the building. All the ground limestone and sand (also ground out of rock) which entered into the construction of the building was found right on the premises and convey- -ed from the quarries to the building by a cable and buckets. Over one hundred carpenters and about an equal number of other mechanics and laboring men were employed on the building at one time and, as it is against the rules for workmen to remain on the grounds dur- ing the night, most of the number board- ed and lodged in Bellefonte. The main prison buildings will be lo- cated on the slope between the death house and the railroad and the next build- ings to be erected will be the dining room hospital, and laundry. The former will also be of concrete and will be approximately 275x360 feet in size. The laundry will be smaller. The Thompson Starrett company will also erect these buildings and will begin work on the same this fall. The approximate cost of the above three buildings will be three million dol- lars. KILLED IN THE QUARRIES.—Louis De- mino, an Italian, was instantly killed in the quarries of the Chemical Lime and Stone company on Saturday afternoon. The men were engaged in putting off pop blasts and had put in three charges. When they fired them two went off and Demino, instead of waiting a reasonable length of time to see whether the other would explode,went up to investigate. He was within a step or two of the hole when the blast went off and the full charge of stone caught Demino on the left side, over the heart, badly mangling the flesh and killing him instantly. The man was thirty-eight years old and had been in this country a number of years. His wife and two chileren are now in Italy, having gone back to the old country on a visit several months ago. One brother, Frank Demino, lives near Bellefonte. The funeral was held from the Catholic church at ten o'clock in the Catholic cemetery. on Tuesday morning, burial being made ——The annual pushball contest be- tween the Sophomores and Freshmen at State College will take place on old Beaver field at State College tomorrow afternoon at 1.30 o'clock, before the State-Muhlenberg football game. rr ll ns ——Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, was celebrated by the He- brew residents of Beilefonte between the hours of six o'clock p. m.

The latter is said to be a strong aggregation and the game is sure to be a good one.

They now have hopes of having everything in readiness by the 10th, and of furnishing a pleasing surprise to all our people on that date. ——The State College foot ball team opened the season on Saturday with a game with Westminister, defeating them 14 to 0. State’s play during the first half of the game was ragged and devoid of dash and ginger but during the latter part of the game they showed more vim and some real foot-ball. A large number of changes were made in the line-up during the game to enable the coaches to size up the different candi- dates for positions on the team. ——The rummage sale, which should now be occupying the minds of every good housekeeper of the town, on ac- count of the opportunity to get rid of her unused clothing and furniture, will be held next week, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Should it be impossible for you to send your contributions to the room on the second floor of the Centre County bank building, notify Mrs. Brouse or Mrs. John Shugert immediately, as Mrs. Shugert started this morning to do the collecting. ——Samuel McGinley, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. McGinley, was run over by an automobile on Wednesday afternoon but fortunately was not injur- ed in the least. He attends school at the new High school building and at recess was out in front with some other boys playing. A stranger ina Ford machine came along and tooted his horn and Samuel became confused and ran in front of the machine. He was knocked down and the car passed over his leg. The car was not going fast and the -driver stopped and picked the boy up and examined him for injuries but found nothing wrong, and Samuel, himself, said “It didn’t hurt.” ——On Tuesday afternoon a team of horses belonging to Frank Deitz, of Mt. Eagle, frightened at an automobile and broke loose from a hitching post in front of Lyon’s store, starting to run up Alle- gheny street. In front of Sim Baum’s store one horse was caught by Col. H. S. Taylor but as it had stripped the bridle all he could get was a nose hold. He clung to the animal’s head until the team turned around in the street when he lost his hold and the team ran away. In front of Joseph's store the wagon collided with Shoemaker’s rig, knocking ‘the horse down but not injuring it. The team ran up Allegheny street to Logan where the wagon struck a telephone pole which stopped the runaway. The tongue of the wagon was broken but neither horse hurt. i —_—psp.ppp6!2L. ——On Sunday morning when Dr. Co- burn Rogers went to the barn to get his automobile to make a professional call he found the machine missing. He at once reported the matter to the police and Sunday afternoon it was located near Snow Shoe Intersection, standing in the road near the Witmer Smith farm. Of course it had been stolen and driven that far then abandoned. On Monday the police learned that the car had been taken by Joe Wagner and Henry Gordon. The young men were taken into custody Monday night and on agreeing to pay for some small damages done the car Dr. Rogers decided not to press the charge against them. Wagner at one time work- ed for Rogers and took care of his car, which accounts for him being able to! operate it. tures will be presented right along, so! ESCAPED PRISONERS GIVEN SALTY SEN- TENCES.—John Bair and Pasquale Carmil- lo, the twomen who walked away from the penitentiary in Benner township on Sunday evening, July 12th, and were caught the next day in Buffalo Run valley, were given a hearing in court on Wed- nesday morning and as an object lesson Judge Orvis sentenced Bair to serve not less than two nor more than three years in the penitentiary in addition to serving out his old sentence and Carmillo “to serve not less than four nor more than seven vears. Both men had less than a year‘to serve of their old sentence when they ran away, but by the time they have served their combined sentences they, will prob- ably have come to a full realization of the folly of attempting to escape from justice. They are the two men who | planned a jail delivery about a month | ago and had it not been for a released prisoner, giving their plans away there might have been a repetition of the Green and Dillen affair when Jerry Condo was so foully murdered. : When deputy warden Daughenbaugh and Sheriff Lee undertook to take Bair and Carmillo from the jail to the court house for a hearing on Tuesday after- noon they both put up a kick and insist- ed on not going unless they were furnish- | ed with new shirts, collars and ties. The officials, However, considered it unneces- . sary to furnish them such up-to-date haberdashery and started to take them by force. Inasmuch as they had refused to go with the sheriff in the morning and were known to be bad characters Deputy Warden Daughenbaugh was called to as: sist in taking them into court in the after- noon. When he entered Bair’s cell he backed into a corner and showed fight | wherupon the deputy tapped him under the left eye with a black-jack and when he came to he cried and begged for mercy, and was only too glad to be yank- | ed down the hill with the blood running | down over his face and shirt. By that! time the court was busy and the men | were taken back to jail until Wednesday morning, when they were given a hear- | ing, and sentenced. The prison officials took no chances in | getting them safe back to Pittsburgh, | and accompanying deputy sheriff Weaver | when he left with the men on the 1.07 | train Wednesday afternoon were chief of police Harry Dukeman and Thomas Shaughensey. Parole warden John P. Eagan was also on the train in case his services were needed. Both Bair and Carmillo are from Alle- gheny county and the expenses for their capture, keep in the Centre county jail, trial and return to the penitentiary will have to be borne by that county.
