In this respect the Scenic aims to give more than the average program by securing specials and big features every week. The Scenicis a nice, comfortable place to go for an hour or two of, interesting entertainment each evening. Two CONDEMNED PRISONERS BROUGHT | TO DEATH HOUSE.—The first condemned prisoner to reach the new death house in Benner township was Andrew Ma- linowski, of Allegheny county, who was brought to Bellefonte on the 1.23 train Monday afternoon and taken over the Lewisburg & Tyrone train at 1.40 to the new penitentiary. John Talap, of Montgomery county, was brought to the death house about two hours later, on! the L. & T. train from Sunbury. When Malinowski was taken through Bellefonte by the sheriff of Allegheny county he appeared unmoved and when he reached the death house he entered with a firm step and was not at all ner- vous. He bore himself like a man who had not given up hope, and his confi- dence was justified by the action of the Board of Pardons on Wednesday when they held under advisement his applica- tion for a commutation of sentence. This action will postpone his electrocu- tion indefinitely, or until the Pardon Board finally disposes of the case. When John Talap was taken into the death house he walked with a lagging step and showed some signs of nervous- ness,but did not break down. The Par- don Board refused to interfere in his case and his electrocution will take place some day next week, warden John Fran- cies naming the hour, as prescribed by law. WORK AT NEW PENITENTIARY.— The long, hard winter naturally compelled a shut-down on all building operations at the new penitentiary and the only work that has been done during the past six weeks or more was grading for roads, digging ditches for water pipe and ex- cavating for buildings. This work was somewhat slow on account of being done by hand but a big steam shovel was among the equipment received a week or two ago and it will now be used in excavating, which will greatly facilitate the work. , Large quantities of material have been shipped to the penitentiary during the past two months, such as lumber for con- structing the forms for the concrete buildings, and iron and steel bars for the reinforced work. All this material has been hauled and piled convenient to the building operations, so that when the weather opens up in the spring there will be no delay on account of lack of ma- terial. When the Thompson Starrett company was compelled to cease operations early in January they had completed the foun- dations for the laundry, a building 218x30 feet in size, and the dining hall, a building 205x145 feet in size, and had started to pour concrete for the walls of one end of the laundry building. Just as soon as the weather will permit work will be resumed.on. these, buildings. with a rush. Henry Keep, superintendent for the Thompson Starrett company, esti- mates that he will need in the neighbor- hood of two hundred and sixty carpenters when he starts work to put up the forms fast enough for the concrete men, and these in addition to a big number of other men who will be employed on the job will make things quite lively at the new penitentiary and ought to help business in Bellefonte considerably. A large number of men will also be employed by the State in excavating, road making and grading. FORESTER MUELLER TO GO TO HARRIS- BURG.—Harry J. Mueller, forester, who has been a resident of Bellefonte going on two years, was on Tuesday appointed city forester of Harrisburg by park com- missioner M. Harvey Taylor.

High street has been cleaned from the railroad to the bridge and the force is now working on the Diamond and along Allegheny street. Bellefonte streets have been covered with snow ever since the first fall on Thanksgiving, almost three months, and it looks good to see the brick paving again. In fact, it makes one feel that spring will soon be here. ——Train No. 52 over the Bald Eagle Valley railroad was held up five minutes between Beech Creek and Mill Hall, one day last week by a big bull on the track. The animal not only refused to get off the track but charged the pilot when the train came to a standstill. Fireman Clint Swartz, of Milesburg, climbed down off of the engine to drive the bull away, when it charged him, and he barely es- caped its horns in a hurried climb into the cab. But his efforts got the bull off the track and the train then proceeded on its way. ——Garman’s opera house was crowd- ed last Friday evening by those anxious to hear the concert by the Penn State mandolin and glee club, given for tle benefit of the Bellefonte hospital. The total receipts of the concert were about $260, and of this amount about $200 were clear and turned over to the hospital authorities for the purchase ‘of equip- ment and any necessary furnishings needed in the institution. The concert was enjoyed by all who saw it, G. J. Sauerhoff, president of the Sophomore class, being one of the stars. ——Quite a number of Bellefonters motored to State College on Saturday tween Levi Lamb, State's heavyweight, the U. of P. And well did the mighty Mike live up to his reputation, as it took him only three minutes and thirty sec- onds to put Lamb flat on his back on the mat. But at that it was the only fall secured by the visitors and State won the meet by the score of 20 to 11. This was Lamb’s last bout and he had been unthrown until the Greek brought about his down-fall.. i Haile a Li of i threw their hat into the political arena last week and announced themselves as candidates for office. The list includes the following: County Treasurer, David Chambers, of Snow Shoe, and A. H. Hartswick, of College townshsp. Sheriff, George H. Yarnell, of Walker township. Prothonotary, L. Frank Mayes, of Le- mont. Recorder, William H. Brown, of Bellefonte. County Commissioners, Isaac Miller, of Bellefonte; Harry S. Stuart, of Sandy Ridge, and Harry P. Austin, of Milesburg. So far the only Democrat who has announced is James E. Harter, of Penn township, for County Treasurer. ——1If the new fee bill which was in- troduced in the Legislature by Represen- tative Spangler, of York, becomes a law it will put a damper on the aspirations of candidates for office. The bill provides that in counties having from forty to fifty thousand population, which would include Centre county, the fees shall be as follows: Sheriff, $1,400, and as keeper of the county jail $500 extra; Treasurer, $1,400; Prothonotary, $900; Register, $1,200; Recorder, $1,000; County Survey- or $80; Auditor, $90; County Commission- rs, $800; County Solicitor, not exceed- ing $500; Jury Commissioner, $130; Cor- oner, $75.
