pile of boxes, barrels and wood of vari- |
ous kinds had been stacked for the fire. '
An idea of the size of pile can be gather- |
ed from the fact that one thousand stud- |
ents worked all day gathering material
for it, and when completed it was
as big as a house. It was built up!
as compactly as possible and held
in place by a half dozen or more!
old telephone poles. Between two and
three hundred gallons of gasoline had |
been poured over the pile to give it a |
quick start. The honor of lighting the |!

was assisted by Saurhoff. They used a

The shock of the explosion was felt at |
burning embers were scattered through |
the worst shaking up he ever received.
As soon as Tobin and Saurhooff’s con-
dition was discovered students ran to
their rescue and carried them out of the
range of the fire and summoned a physi-
cian. An examination showed their faces
and hands to be badly burned, but the
burns are mostly superficial and it is not
‘believed will leave any scars. But both
young men suffered terrible pain and as
soon as their burns were dressed they
were brought to the Bellefonte hospital
for treatment. It will probably take two
or three weeks for the young men to
recover and in the meantime Capt. Tobin
will be out of the game. The doctors
hope, however, to get him in shape for
the State-Pitt game on Thanksgiving.
HALLOWE'EN NIGHT.—Tomorrow even-
ing will be Hallowe’en when good fairies
are supposed to be abroad in the land.
It is an evening when the young people
are allowed more freedom than usual
and usually take advantage of it in out-
door pranks of various kinds. This man-
ner of sport is always permissible hut
participants ought to confine themselves
to such pranks as will not do injury to
persons or property. In other words,
have all the fun possible but resolutely
adhere to the fact that you are ladies
and gentlemen and resolve to do nothing
that you would not like others to do to
you or yours. And above all do not
destroy property, as oft-times such un-
thinking pranks cause an actual hard-
ship on the person occupying the prop-
erty. Remember the above precautions
when you go out tomorrow evening to
celebrate Hallowe’en, and if you adhere
to them you can have just as much fun
and return home without anything to
trouble your conscience.
Hallowe'en is always a season of social
festivities and among those planned for
the present are the following:
Mrs. A. O. Furst’s tea, Thursday after-
noon at four o'clock, given in compliment
to Mrs. Harrar, of Williamsport, who is
visiting her daughter, Mrs. James Furst.
Miss Humes’ dinner at noon today, for
which twelve covers will be laid.
Mrs. William Brown's Hallowe'en
Masque, Saturday night where the women
will join in fun making, the men being
invited to be with them for only a short
time before midnight.
The members of the class of 1915,
Bellefonte High school, will join in mak-
ing merry with Hallowe'en sports, tonight
at the home of Miss Pauline Johnson.
Miss Alice Lowry, a daughter of Henry
Lowry, has issued invitations for a barn
party, to be given tomorrow night in
their barn on Cherry alley.
There will be Hallowe’en parties also
at Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Johnson’s, on
Spring street. Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Beck's,
on High street. Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Davis, on Bishop street, where Miss
Alice Davis will be hostess and Francis
Willard will entertain her friends at the
home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. I.
Willard, on Thomas street.

will be given in the town hall Monday

——A peculiar accident happened on
the Bellefonte Central railroad at State
College one day last week. A car of
stone for the new electical
was received at the College and instead
of allowing it to drift in onto the siding
used by the contractor in charge, as was
usually done, it was left standing on the
main track. When the passenger train
backed into the college station the engi-
neer naturally supposed he had a clear
track and before he could be sig-
nalled
the car of stone with such force that
the rear passenger coach was thrown
over on its side. There were
eral people in the car, but fortunately
none of them were injured to any ex-
tent. After the car was put back on the
track it was found that the damage done
was comparatively slight.

Two ACCIDENTS.—Shortly before elev-
voting house the horse got off the road
to the left and down into a deep gutter.
The buggy also dropped into the gutter
| breaking the rear spindle so that the
| wheel dropped off. Ross jumped out on
the shaft to catch the horse and broke
the shaft, but he got hold of the horse
thus preventing a run-away, while the
two young ladies also got out without
suffering any injury. On account of the
damage to the buggy young Ross was
compelled to leave it and ride the horse
home while the ladies went out to Axe

The second accident happened at the
same place about half past eleven
o'clock. Joseph W. Parker, of State Col-
lege, driving a 1906 Franklin car and
having with him George Kerstetter, Al-
bert Harfield, Roy Schillings and two
other men started for home by the
Phoenix mill road. When they reached
the pike where the Ross accident occur-
red Parker kept close to the side of the
road to escape coiliding with the buggy.
Just at that time David Louck, driving a
1912 Franklin and with L. F. Roan in the
car, came down the Pine street hill.
Whether he attempted to get ahead of
Parker or failed to see his car is not
known, but at any rate in order to avoid
crashing into the buggy he pulled to the
right and bumped head-on into Parker's
car, knocking it and its occupants
through the railing alongside of the road
and down over the embankment, a dis-
tance of a dozen or more feet. The car
was overturned, pinning most of the oc-
cupants underneath. Other automobil-
ists coming along went to the assistance
of the imprisoned men and released
them; and miraculous as it may seem
none of the men were injured worth
speaking of.
—— ee OO:
BELLEFONTE ARMORY ALMOST Com-
PLETED.—The remodeling of the Belle-
fonte armory is nearing completion and
the general public will have a hard time
recognizing the place when it is again
thrown open for social events. The tak-
i ing out of the stage and conversion of
the balcony into an assembly room for
the members of Troop L, leaves the main
room without any depression to break
the monotony of the four square walls.
The walls, however, will be painted in
a way that will relieve the bareness to a
certain extent. There will be a wains-
coating of maroon, the walls in plain
white and the rafters and ceiling done
in a cream color. The captain and sub-
ordinate officers rooms, a gentleman’s
waiting room and a ladies waiting room
are all finished in white and mahogany
and will be comfortably and . convenient-
ly furnished throughout. On the second
floor are the assembly room and the
property room. The assembly room is
designed for a lounging place for the
soldiers and it will also be comfortably
furnished. The property rooms are none
too large, owing to Company L having
been converted into a cavalry troop and
arrangements will have to be made for
the saddles, bridles, sabres, etc.
Capt. Brown is arranging to give a big
public military dance on Friday night
after Thanksgiving day as a proper re-
opening of the armory. A committee of
prominent men and women will be se-
lected to take charge of the affair ‘and
the members of Troop L will be on hand
as ushers and soldiers in waiting to look
after the comfort and welfare of those
who attend. Governor John K. Tener
and staff, Adjutant General Stewart and
staff and prominent military men
throughout the State will be invited, and
are expected to attend. It will be the
third military dance held in the armory
since its erection upwards of twenty-five
years ago, and the event will doubtless
be the leading social gathering of the
fall season.
To AID THE WAR SUFFERERS. —The
meeting held at the W. C. T. U. rooms
in Petrikin hall last Thursday evening in
behalf of the suffering, homeless women
and children of the European war was
largely attended. It was decided to have
each church sew in their own Aid so-
cieties and a general committee on cut-
ting and giving out work was appointed.
It is composed of the following three
ladies: Mrs. J. Thomas Mitchell, Mrs.
John Porter Lyon and Mrs. D. I. Willard.

and Mrs. William Deystine.
