BOROUGH FATHERS IN LENGTHY SES- SION.—Seven members were present at the regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening and quite a number of questions were brought up for proper disposition. Miss Ammerman was present and made complaint about water running in- ‘to her cellar, and she blamed it on the Bishop street sewer. The matter was referred to the Water committee and Mr. Seibert stated that he had already inves- tigated her complaint and found that the water came from a leaking pipe on her own premises, and that it was up to her to fix it. C. T. Gerberich was present and stat- ed that it was his desire to open up into lots some property he had on east How- ard street, and he had set aside twenty feet for an alley running north and south which he will give to the borough on condition that they put down a sewer across the alley to take care of the sur- face water. Healso asked for a grade for a pavement along his property there. Council sanctioned both propositions and referred the matter to the Street com- mittee to carry out. Burgess Blanchard extended an urgent invitation to all members of counci! to attend the Woman’s club meeting on Tuesday evening and hear Horace Me- Farland talk on civic improvement. . Superintendent Howard J. Thompson, of the State-Centre Electric company, was present by request and was asked to explain why the street lights in general are so poor. He confessed ignorance, averring that they are carrying the same voltage now as had always been carried, but agreed to put on higher vol- tage lamps in the business sections of the town and do what he can to reme- dy the matter. Mr. Thompson was also asked regarding the meter they use, as there have been a number of complaints about it registering too strong. He stat- ed that it was a standard meter and being properly adjusted can not but be correct. Any user who discerns trouble should notify the company and they will look after a proper adjustment of the meter. . A written communication was received stating that at a meeting of delegates of the Logan and Undine fire companies the following officials were elected: Chief fire marshall, John J. Bower; first assist- ant, Ralph Haag; second assistant, Luth- er Smith. The election was approved by council. A lengthy communication was receiv- ed from Miss Anna J. Valentine making complaint about the hospital dumping ashes and refuse down over the hill in the rear of the Evangelical church and parsonage. The matter was referred to the Nuisance and Sanitary committees. A communication was received from G. Murray | Andrews . making complaint about the brilliancy of the light at How- ard and Allegheny streets. The matter was referred to the Special committee. The Street committee reported a new pavement being put down on Lamb street by the Central Railroad of Penn- sylvania, which will nécessitate the bor- ough putting down some kind of a cross- ing. That John McCoy wants permis- sion to dynamite the point of the hill ‘along the state road in order to put down a new pavement, and that work had been begun on the repair of east Lamb street. _ The Water committee reported various repairs around town and also stated that a new roof is badly needed on the water works. The latter was referred to the committee with power. Mr. Naginey, for the Fire and Police committee, presented burgess Blanch- ard’s check for $19.00 for fines collected in the past two weeks. Mr. Naginey also submitted a proposition of J. Mac Heinle to install an electric fire alarm upon both fire houses, which can be sounded from the telephone exchanges, for $100. But inasmuch as Mr. Naginey knew nothing about the efficiency of the proposed alarm, and the other members of the committee knew nothing about it, it was referred back for proper investi- gation and report. Mr. Naginey also presented a proposition of the Undine fire company that if the borough would pay to them monthly the amount it is now paying for heating their building they would instal their own heating plant and could pay for it in two years, after which all it would cost the borough would be for coal. Referred to the Fire and Police committee for certain investi- gations. Mr. Naginey again brought up the question of the purchase of more new hose, but as the committee has not looked into the matter close enough it was referred back. : The Finance committee through Mr. Lyon stated that if the Fire and Police committee would make a statement of the exact loss suffered by the company and the expense entailed in attending the fire the parties directly interested would willingly pay the amount. An effort will be made to have the figures by next meeting night. The Sanitary committee complained about the promiscuous dumping of de- cayed fruits and vegetables within the borough limits and they were instructed to look up a suitable place for such dump and then enforce its use. Bills to the amount of $292.62 were proved and council adjourned.

The near approach of the spawning season is mak- ing the trout hunt the shallow waters and just now they are coming up stream. On Wednesday afternoon the writer ; counted forty trout from six inches to a foot in length in the short distance be- tween the bridge and the falls, and that was when the water was very low. When the water is coming over the falls in full force the number is considerably augmented. roe — Candyland, next door to the WATCHMAN office, opened for business at two o'clock last Saturday afternoon with the three Gregory brothers in immacu- late coats and aprons behind . the coun- ters ready for the trade. And what a business they did. As an attraction they had five hundred roses and one hundred carnations to give away to customers and they were all gone before six o'clock. All told during the afternoon and evening between twelve and thirteen hundred customers visited Candyland. They sold out of homemade candies and a big hole was made in their general stock. On Monday Miss Margaret Gehrett went to work as clerk at the candy counter to assist the proprietors and from present indications Candyland is going to prove one of the most popular places in Belle- fonte, as it is of a character distinctively its own. —On Monday two gypsies who gave their names as Charles Michaels and John Hammon pulled off a horse trade with William E. Confer, of Howard. They were in camp near Howard when the trade was made and they told Mr. Con- fer to take the horse home and try it and if he did not like it bring it back and get hisown. Mr. Confer took the horse home and attempted to try it, but he couldn’t get it to budge when hitched up, so took it back. But lo, the gypsies had disappeared. Mr. Confer telephoned to Bellefonte and surrounding towns then, with the constable, gave chase in an automobile. The gypsies, evidently be- lieving themselves safe from pursuit, came to Bellefonte and were arrested about five o'clock in the evening in the alley near the Haag house stable, just as they were about closing a horse trade with a Bellefonte dealer. When Mr. Confer came to town he was willing to drop all iegal proceedings when he got his horse back and the traveling nomads were allowed to go free. ——— ee THE ACADEMY—INDIAN GAME SATUR- DAY.—Tomorrow there will be eighteen full-blooded Indians, from a half dozen or more tribes in the west, in Bellefonte and they will be an attraction for old and young. These Indians compose the Car- lisle Indian football reserves and they will come here to play the Bellefonte Academy eleven on Hughes field. Mr. Hughes had considerable difficulty in in— ducing the reserves to come to Bellefonte and it is costing considerable money to bring them here. For that reason a large crowd from Bellefonte and the country roundabout should turn out and see the game. You can rest assured that it will be well worth the money. The Academy has a heavy team and the boys have been playing good football. They mean to win from the Indians if it is at all possible to do so. Game will be call- ed at 3 o'clock and you don’t want to miss one .minute "of play. Go out and help swell the crowd. General admission price will be 50 cents, ladies 25 and 15 cents for the small boys; no deadheads: This latter will be strictly enforced.
