that he had nothing definite to report on
the new fire alarm and president Walker
said that he had seen H. J. Thompson,
superintendent of the State-Centre Elec-
Bellefonte plant would not be closed per-
manently for two or three months, and
if the borough would install a Bell tele-
phone they would willingly give the
alarm in case of fire, which will probably
be done.
The Finance committee and borough
solicitor explained what was being done
toward the collection of leins entered for
taxes. A test case will be made at the
next argument court which will be early
in December, and proceedings will then
be taken in accordance with the court’s
decision. The Finance committee asked
for the renewal of a note for $5,000 for
six months from November 5th, and also
recommended that an order be drawn
for $2,000 to be placed in the sinking
fund. ’
The street light proposition was dis-
cussed at some length, including the poor
quality of the light, no light for hours
last Saturday night and lamps being out
for nights before being replaced and the
borough solicitor was instructed to notify
the company that in the future they
would be held responsible for any ac-
cident that might occur by reason of
lights being out, and council would ex-
ercise the right of deducting a pro rata
amount from their monthly bill for any
delinquency in service.
A motion was passed accepting Mr. C.
T. Gerberich’s offer at last meeting of
council to donate land for the opening of
Cowdrick alley from Burrows alley to
Howard street, and the Street committee
was instructed to build the sewer re-
quired and put the alley in shape for
traffic. ‘
Bills to the amount of $1262.72 were
approved and council adjourned.
DEPLORABLE ACTS OF DEVILISH YOUNG-
STERS.—As a prelude to Hallowe'en
a bunch of devilish youngsters commit-
ted acts of a deplorable character several
nights last week and if the right parties
are caught they should be duly punished.
Several houses on Linn street were bom-
barded with stale eggs; filthy refuse was
smeared on porches and banisters and
tar and black paint were used in defac-
ing private residences. On Friday night
fences were torn down, portions of board-
walks torn up and one wagon hauled
from its shed and dumped into the creek
below Crider’s lumber yard. The same
gang of boys took another wagon from
Bartley’s livery stable and were on their
way out Allegheny street. when chief of
police Harry Dukeman suddenly made
his appearance in the vicinity of the
Episcopal church. Four of the boys es-
caped but three others were captured.
They were compelled to take the wagon
back and put it where they got it then
were taken to the lock-up. The lads
were kept there until after midnight
when they were released upon telling
the names of their companions and prom-
ising to appear before the burgess on
Monday. The other boys interested
were arrested on Saturday.
| Some boy or boys on Friday evening
ransacked R. Russell Blair's refrigerator
and stole all the eggs therein. Nothing
else was disturbed although there were
two nice, fat chickens on ice. Egg throw-
ing was indulged in Saturday evening,
even throughout the business section of
the town, as was evidenced by the blotch-
es on steps and pavements Sunday morn-
ing. Otherwise no special deviltry was
done on Saturday evening, the young
people mostly parading the streets in
costume.
ELECTRICAL TERMS EXPLAINED—A volt
is the unit of measure of the pressure or
electromotive force which forces the elec-
tric current through the resistance of a
circuit.
An amphere is the unit of measure of
the intensity of this electric curreat flow-
ing through the circuit.
A watt is the work done in a circuit,
with a current of one amphere flowing
at a pressure of one volt and it is the
unit of electrical energy.
A kilowatt is 1000 watts and is used as
the unit of basis of charge for light and
power, to avoid the use of a large num-
ber of figures, as when expressed in
watts. Electrical energy is sold by the
kilowatt-hour, or the use of one kilowatt
for ons hour.
A horse power is a mechanical term of
the energy required to raise 33,000 pounds
one foot in one minute. Expressed in
electrical terms it is equal to 740 watts
or approximately three-fourths of a
kilowatt.

sion at the bonfire at the College on Mon-

| ——Forty State College students, can-
didates for the dairy cattle judging team
sent by State College to the national
dairy show in Chicago, recently made a
tour of inspection of the important com-
mercial and private dairies in eastern
Pennsylvania. They were in charge of
E. L. Anthony, a professor in the animal
husbandry department. Last year Penn
State won fifth place among the sixteen
teams sent from agricultural colleges
throughout the United States as judges
at the dairy show.

——The election is over and the coun-
try still lives. So does the Scenic. It
continues showing a big program of mov-
ing pictures every evening with matinees
of unusual attractions once and twice a
week. It is over seven years and six
months since the Scenic was opened as a
moving picture theatre and it has en-
joyed the popular patronage in all that
time. Manager T. Clayton Brown con-
tinues in the confidence of the public and
endeavors to maintain the good reputa-
tion of the Scenic by giving up-to-date
pictures.

——Mrs. Elizabeth H. Callaway has
been appointed a district inspector 'un-
der the Pennsylvania State Board of Cen-
sors for moving picture exhibitions for
this district by J. Louis Breitinger, chief
censor of Pennsylvania. Mrs. Callaway
is the only inspector in this district and
as the appointment came to her unsolic-
ited she appreciates it very much. So
far only a very few district inspectors
have been appointed in the State. Local
inspectors are required to make a writ-
ten report on the first of each month on
the number of places visited, the char-
acter of the pictures and the number of
complaints sent to the Board.
——Superintendent F. H. Thomas gives
the following explanation of the accident
to the passenger train on the Bellefonte
Central railroad at State College on Oc-
tober 22nd: An employe of one of the
contractors at State College, without
warrant and against the rules of the
railroad company, started to move cars
on the siding at the College. The cars
got beyond his control and obstructed
the main track. He delayed notifying
the railroad agent until too late to stop
the approaching passenger train and the
result was the passenger coach was
“side-swiped” and overturned. Fortu-
nately only one passenger was slightly
injured.

——Capt. E. W. Tobin, of the State
College football team, and G. J. Sauer-
hoff, president of the Sophomore class,
the two students who were so badly
burned on the face, hands and arms by
an explosion of gasoline at a big bonfire
on the night of October 26th, are doing
very nicely at the Bellefonte hospital.
While the hands of both young men are
yet quite sore their arms and faces are
healing nicely. The eyesight of neither
one will be impaired and they will be
little marked as the resultof their burns.
From present indications the young men
will be so much improved that they will
probably be discharged from the hospital
in a week or ten days.
BELLEFONTE ACADEMY-STATE FRESH-
MAN GAME.—The annual game between
the Bellefonte Academy and State Fresh-
man football teams will take place
tomorrow afternoon on Beaver field at
State College, and it promises to be an
exciting contest. Two years ago the
game ended in a dispute and the Fresh-
men left the field. Last year there was
another altercation during the contest
but the game was played to a finish, the
Academy winning by the score of 19 to 6.
This year’s Academy team is an un-
usually heavy and aggressive one, both
strong on offensive as well as defensive
play, but on the other hand there are
some players among the Freshmen at
State College whose work on the gridiron
is high class. It will probably be the
hardest game the Academy will have this
season. The team with practically all
the Academy students will go to the Col-
lege on the 10.15 train. Game will be
called at 1.30 o'clock in order to get
through in time to. allow the students to
hear the State-Lehigh game as received
over a special wire. Bellefonters motor-
ing up to see the game will have to leave
before one o’clock or miss the opening
of it.
all the original members of the firm have
died, and the heirs, Harry Holz, of Belle-
fonte, and Mrs. Louis E. Friedman, of
New York, decided to sell the store and
settle up the estate. The deal was clos-
ed on Wednesday evening and yesterday
the store was closed, owingto the taking
of an inventary.
Messrs. Wagner and Hazel expect to
open up in a day or two and while their
plans are not definitely known, it is ru-
mored that they expect to make it'into a
department store, putting in a full line
of clothing as well as general mer-
chandise. The new proprietors are both
well known business men and they merit
the confidence of the public.
Having sold the store Harry Holz and
his mother, Mrs. Herman Holz, do not
expect to leave Bellefonte but will con
tinue to make their home here.

subscription to the WATCHMAN expire on my
birthday, and another; “that the last week of my
last year, was the shortest one of my past life for
the reason that Sunday came on Saturday, Octo-
ber 31st and so he did, a band and 5000 people
met him at the station and escorted him toa
home provided for him for a sojourn of 6 or8
weeks. He begana campaign today in a taber-
nacle of 10,000 capacity, preaching three ser-
mons, to as many as could get within hearing.
A choir of 800 voices started the musical portion

north of this city and his reception was in the
