+—The new power plant of the State-
Centre Electric company at Milesburg
was put in operation last Friday evening
to try it out, the current being turned on
to State College and intervening points
with the exception of Bellefonte. The
plant had been in operation only a short
time when a telephone wire along the
road to the College broke and fell on the
service wires, the connection thus made
elting the wires and compelling a shut-
down of the plant. The line was repair-
ed the next day.

Millheim Had $25,000 Fire.
Ten Business Houses and Residences, In-
cluding Postoffice, Went Up in
Smoke. Loss Partially Cov-
ered With Insurance.
The borough of Miilheim had another
| destructive fire yesterday morning which
| laid waste to property valued at ap-
| proximately $25,000°and left several fami-
: lies homeless. Included in the property
| destroyed was the Millheim postoffice,
| though practically all the mail matter
| was saved.
The fire was first discovered about 3.20
i
i
|
o'clock in the morning in Harry B.
i Mensch’s clothing store, which was lo-
(cated on the east side of Penn street.
i From Mensch's store the flames com-
- municated with the old frame building
| on the corner of Penn and Main streets
! owned by S. Ward Gramley and occupied
by Herr & Ulrich’s five and ten cent
| store and Robert S. Stover’s jewelry store
| and postoffice. From there the fire burn-
ed east along the south side of Main
street destroying Jerome Spigelmyer’s
general mercantile store; another build-
and Mrs. J. Russell Gephart as a restau-
rant and residence; a double dwelling
owned by Mrs. F. E. Gutelius and oc-
cupied by the families of Nevin A. Au-
man and Harry B. Mensch, and a double
residence owned by Philip B. Leitzell and
occupied by himself and son-in-law, G.
C. Boop and family. In addition to the
above a large barn on the Spigelmyer
property and one on the Mrs. Gutelius
property were also ‘destroyed, together
with all outbuildings, including a wood
and wash shed across the race, the prop-
is the barn on the Leitzell property.
Main street, was on fire but it was there
the flames were gotten under control and
it was only partially destroyed.
windows in the Abe Kessler department
ware store and the Millheim bank.
Kessler's stock was also damaged to
some extent by water.
Most of the families succeeded in get-
ting a good part of their household goods
out of the dwellings before they were
destroyed, so that their loss will not be
great, and is mostly covered by insur-
ance.
About four o’clock in the morning the
fire was raging so fiercely that the Belle-
fonte fire department was appealed to
for help. The word was received at 4.20
o'clock but owing to a number of un-
avoidable dslays it was not until six
o’clock that the special train bearing the
Logan engine and hose truck and the
Undine hose truck and a delegation of
firemen got away from Bellefonte. By
the time they reached Coburn the Mill-
heim fire company had the flames under
control and they notified the Bellefonte
companies not to unload their equip-
ment, as they were not needed. The fire
burned so fast that very little personaj
property was saved, as all efforts were
devoted to getting the fire checked.
It is just about six years since Mill-
heim had a fire almost as destructive as
the present one, though none of the
buildings rebuilt at that time were
destroyed now, though the Kessler build-
ing was damaged. 2
Following is a list of the losses and in-
surance.

ATLANTIC REFINING COMPANY'S PLANT
IMPROVED.—Longer H. Wian, the man
who measures out your oil and gasoline
and rakes in the shekels for John D.
Rockerfeller is considerably puffed up
now over the improvement to the Atlantic
Refining company’s plant in this place.
In fact they can hardly be called im-
provements, as the plant was practically
rebuilt at a cost of five thousand doliars.
There is a big brick warehouse and
shed for the delivery wagons, and a large
and cosy office equipped with a ponder-
ous vault and comfortable furniture. In
the rear is a battery of three huge tanks
with a capacity of 12,000 galions each, or
a total of 36,000 gallons. An electric
pump has been installed to pump the oil
from the tank cars into the storage tanks
and all Longer has to do is touch a but-
ton and a 5,000 gallon tank car will be
emptied in just one hour and fifteen min-
utes. The improvements were completed
on Tuesday and the plant is one of the
most up-to-date of any the company has
in this section of the State.

——A magnificent looking doe wan-
dered down off of Nittany mountain on
Monday morning, a short distance west
of Linden Hall, just as the morning train
was speeding along on its way trom Sun-
bury to Bellefonte. The deer was only
a few rods from the railroad and as the
train approached it started to run and
ran alongside of the train for almost a
half mile, leaping fences with the utmost
ease. Finally, at a curve in the railroad
the passengers lost sight of the deer.

‘pleasing manner in. “The Merchant of

Sophomore class of Western College, at
Oxford, Ohio, on Saturday night, Novem-
ber 14th. The cast showed considerable
skill in acting, bringing out the burlesque
on Shakespeare’s famous characters
in a delightful manner. Local color was
used effectively in the fifth act, when
“Antonio” appeared as the captain of the
1 Miami football team, and was arrested to
be taken before “Shylock” in the midst
of a football game, Miami vs. Yale. The
cast were entertained by the Seniors
after their production, refreshments be-
. ing served in the Agora Club room.
——Mention was made in last week's
- WATCHMAN of the Michigan Aggies ai-
rival in Bellefonte and the splendid play
ing of their Cadet band, but we cannot
leave the opportunity pass to pay a com-
pliment to one of the most gentlemanly
set of college students that ever visited
Bellefonte. The Aggies were in town
over one hundred strong from Thursday
noon until Friday noon and every man
' who came in contact with any of them
' was forcibly impressed with their clean-
: cut appearance and courteous demeanor.
| It was the first trip east for all of them
and they were unusually interested in
| everything they saw in and around Belle-
fonte. They visited the court house and
| looked the town over generally. Learn-
| ing that the Brockerhoff residence was
| one of the oldest in Bellefonte a number
| of them expressed a wish to see the in-
terior, and through the medium of a
resident of Bellefonte Miss Mary Brock-
| erhoff very gladly threw. open the
, doors and invited them in, herself pilot-
| ing them all through the house. A num-
| ber of the students visited the limestone
| quarries and a few even went so far as
to climb to the top of the mountain
| above the quarries. Quite a number of
the students attended the moving picture
| shows on Thursday evening and the Y.
| M. C. A. Star course entertainment in
! the opera house and in all these places
their conduct was a pleasant contrast to
| some students seen in Bellefonte places
| of amusement.

i BIGGER COAL OPERATIONS IN THE SNOW
| SHOE DISTRICT.—Twenty years ago ge-
ologists and statisticians had figured out
to a nicety just how long the coal de-
posits in the Snow Shoe district would
would all have been disposed of several
years ago. But the Lehigh Valley Coal
company went right along mining and
shipping, increasing their output year
after year; and during the past decade
the Kelley Bros. and other companies
have been organized and have also been
mining and shipping immense quantities
of coal.
In the meantime both the Lehigh Val-
ley company and the Kelley Bros. have
result that they have located new veins
of coal with immense deposits. In fact
it is their belief that they have discover-
ed more coal than has ever been mined
and shipped out of the Snow Shoe district,
deposits which it will take years and
years to exhaust.
The Lehigh Valley company is now at
work opening up a new mine at what is
known as Staub Hill, while the Kelley
Bros. are opening up a mine at the
mouth of Beauty run. The former com-
pany has uncovered a vein four feet in
thickness of the best quality Snow Shoe
coal, while the Kelley Bros. have uncov-
Both the Lehigh Valley and the Kelley
Bros. are arranging to equip these new
mines with the very latest electric min-
ing machinery and electric. motors for
hauling the coal cars to the surface. Im-
mense tipples will be built to facilitate
loading on the cars.
It is estimsted that it will require from
fourteen to fifteen thousand electric
horse power for the two operations,
which power will be furnished by
the State-Centre Electric company. This
company has now secured much of the
right of way for a pole line from their
power plant at Milesburg to the new
mines in Snow Shoe township and as
soon as everything is definitely settled
work on building the line will be begun.
The opening of these new mines in
Snow Shoe will almost double the output
of coal from that district and will give
employment to several hundred addi-
tional miners.

i PENNSYLVANIA DAY AT STATE CoL-
gest Pennsylvania days witnessed
at State College since it was established
upwards of ten years ago. The crowd
was variously estimated at from six to
ten thousand people, but a conservative
estimate would be about eight thousand.
Among this vast throng were one hun-
dred or more of the recently elected
State Senators and Members of the House
of Representatives and it was a surprise
to those who had never visited the Col-
lege to find itso big an institution. It
was the writer's privilege to meet sev-
eral of them on Friday evening and they
unhesitatingly asserted that the college
would have their most loyal support.
Friday's exercises were
those in former years. A meeting was
held in the auditorium in the morning
{ which was presided over by Dr. E. E. |
Sparks, president of the College, who
read letters of regret from Governor-
elect Martin G. Brumbaugh and Senator
Penrose. Brief speeches were made by
be bis last official visit to the College, for
which he was sorry. Other addresses
were by Dr. J. L. Snyder, president of
Michigan Agricultural college, and war-
den John Francies, of the western peni-
tentiary.
At one o'clock in the afternoon the
cadet regiment was reviewed by Governor
Tener and other dignitaries present and
at 1.30 o'clock the two steel flagstaffs
of A. on the front campus were dedicated
and presented to the College. Governor
Miller, of Easton, the state president,
made the presentation speech and the
acceptance was by H. Walton Mitchell,
president of the board of trustees. Roy
L. Schuyler, of Lock Haven, and C. L.
Nonemaker, of Altoona, assisted a de-
flags.
| One of the big events of the day was
the State—Michigan Aggies football
game, which was won by the latter after
a gruelling contest by the score of 6 to 3.
The county fair and agricultural ex-
hibit held by the agricultural school on
the old Beaver field attracted consid-
erable attention until it was spoiled in
blown down by the high winds of Friday
afternoon. There were exhibits from

The new engineering building was
dedicated during the day but the dedica-

——Charles Gordon, aged about nine
| years, a pupil at the new High school
| building, was struck and knocked down
by the State-Centre Electric company car
1 as he was going to school on Tuesday !
morning, and, although he was caught!
under the car and rolled along the street,
he escaped without serious injury. The
accident happened in front of the James
Curtin residence on Allegheny street.
The machine was coming toward the
Diamond and the boy while looking in
| another direction ran directly in front of
| the machine. It was impossible for the
driver to stop or avoid hitting him. The
machine was stopped as soon as possible
and passers-by ran to the boy expecting
to find him badly hurt. He was carried
to a physicians office and while waiting
on the doctor a superficial examination
was made which showed that no bones
were broken, neither had he sustained
! any cuts or bad bruises. Finally the lad,
himself, decided he would not wait on

——William P. Winter, professor of
chemistry at State College, with other

i complaint with the Public Service Com-
' mission to what is termed a deplorable
state of affairs existing at State College.
{ because of a disagreement between the
borough council and the State College
Water company over the sale or renewal
‘of the franchise. Many of the patrons
of the water company have had little or
no water during the day for the past four
