BOROUGH COUNCIL PROHIBITS FISHING
FrOM WATER STREET PAVEMENT.—Bor-
ough council in regular session on Mon-
‘day evening passed a resolution prohibit-
ing fishing in Spring creek from the pave-
_ment on Water street from the Central
Railroad of Pennsylvania siding to the
implement office of Darius Waite. The
resolution was introduced by Hard P.
Harris at the request of Mr. Shope who was
not present and in explanation he stated
that a number of ladies of the town ' had
asked that such fishing be prohibited on
the grounds of safety. That heretofore
fishermen lined the pavement and cast
their flies and grapples indiscriminately
without regard to the safety of passing
pedestrians, and there was grave danger
of children and grown people being
hooked in the eye. Mr. Harris, follow-
ing his explanation, made a motion that
the burgess be requested to instruct the
police to keep the pavement within the
district above mentioned clear of fisher-
men at all times. The motion was sec-
onded and carried.
Only five members were present at
Monday evening’s’meeting. There were
no verbal communications but clerk W.
T. Kelly read a written complaint from
* the Potter-Hoy Hardware company as to
their bill for water for the last quarter
which was $57.00. During the previous
year their bills ran from $7.00 to $19.00
per quarter and they feel sure that there
was either a mistake in reading the me-
ter or else said meter was out of order.
The matter was referred to the Water
committee.
A communication was received from
George M. Horner who stated that he
understood there was a vacancy on the
police force and he was an applicant for
appointment. There being no vacancy
now or none apparent in the near future,
the application was laid on the tables.
Residents of east Bishop street - made
application for a sewer on the grounds
that the present system of cesspools now
in use there is believed to be unsani-
tary. Referred to the Street committee.
The Street committe reported the
bridge on Water street near the Phoenix
mill as being in a dangerous condition
and advised planking one side of it to
keep traffic open until an engineer's
opinion could be gotten as to whether
the iron girders were strong enough to
support a concrete roadway. Referred
to the committee with power. The com-
mittee further reported that men are
now at work cutting down and grading
Wilson street and that the Bellefonte
Cemetery association had voted the bor-
ough an appropriation of fifteen dollars
to grade an entrance from Wilson street
into the cemetery. This action was ap-
proved by council The committee fur-
ther reported that High street from
Water street to the Diamond needed re-
pair and suggested that a digger be used
to loosen the surface, sufficient top dress-
ing be put on to round it up and the
street be rolled, after which residents
along the thoroughfare agree to oil it to
keep down the dust. Council authorized
the work to be done.
The Water committee reported a num-
ber of repairs around the town.
Mr. Seibert, for the Fire and Police
committee, reported that the sirene fire
alarm had been tested and proved ineffi-
cient. On motion of Mr. Lyon council
authorized the return of same to the
manufacturers.
The Finance committee reported a bal-
ance in the borough treasury on April
first of $831.77. A note for $1,000 was
renewed for one year from April 7th;
one for $630 for six months and one for
$1,000 was renewed for $1,500 for six
months from April 7th. The committee
also reported that the borough treasurer
had received from Butcher, Sherrerd &
Hansell, bankers of Philadelphia, fifteen
$1,000 borough of Bellefonte 33 per cent.
refunding bonds, due April 1st, 1929,
with coupons clipped to October 1st,
1915, and asked that the same be redeem-
ed at par value, or one hundred cents on
the dollar. The treasurer was instructed
‘to notify Butcher, Sherred & Hansell that
‘the borough would redeem the bonds at
92 cents on the dollar, and the matter
was referred to the Finance committee to
await their reply.
The Nuisance committee reported a
nuraber of nuisances around town which
should be abated. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee with power.
Bills to the amount of $1,293.26 were
approved and council adjourned.

ing and will get its bump sooner or later. At any rate it may be set downas a
settled fact that he will not be in the 1916 running for President.
Representative JONES, of Susquehanna county, chairman of the House Com-
mittee on Roads, threw a wet blanket over the hopes for extensive road improve-
ments during this and next year the other day. The revenues, he says, will be
$10,000,000 short and that means the cutting of expenses all along the line, with
the probable exception of schools. Mr. JONES estimates that $10,000,000 or $15,000,
000 will be necessary to meet the expenses of construction and improvement work
on roads for the two years, while it will not be possible, ur.der present revenue
conditions, to put more than half that amount to that use. It will be a pity to dis-
appoint public expectation along these lines. ‘Good roads are the very best asset
a community can have and without money there can be no roads.
One curious thing about Legislators is that they never think of more than one
way of balancing books.- ‘When some public work or improvement of obvious val-
ue and importance is brought to their attention they at once jump to the conclu-
sion that new revenues must be obtained and new subjects of taxation discovered.
“So far,” observed Mr. JONES, “very little. is being done in this Legislature toward
raising additional revenues.” Therefore he urges action on certain bills how in the
hands of the Committee on Ways and Means. But why not approach the subject
from another angle? In other words what is the matter with the curtailment of
appropriations in some other directions. We are wasting a good deal of money
in the name of charity and that ought to be stopped.
The Governor scored clear yesterday on his Employers’ Liability measure.
That is all attempts to amend the bill failed in a session in which it enjoyed the
advantage of being a special order, Possibly it wasn’t altogether an executive tri-
umph, however, because like the child labor bill, it had the advantage of party en-
dorsement. Likewise it involves a question upon which the party managers were
inclined to shift responsibility. The bill contains two or three provisions of ques-
tionable validity but the Governor has adopted it as his very own, and may be it
will cost more than it will come to. In that event the blame will be on His Ex-
cellency, which reminds me that “there are ways of killing a cat other than chok-
ing it with butter.” :
Both Houses are working hard and it looks as if an adjournment, “without
day,” may be taken at the time fixed by the House a couple of weeks ago. This |
week the Senate has been in session every day and will sit to-morrow and as
there are no debates in that body, or other delaying elements the grinding is rap-
id. Last week one day there was a dispute between Senator MCNICHOL and a ma-
chine colleague in which both were indulging in sharp practice. But their differ-
ences were soon adjusted and the customary routine was resumed. When Sena-
‘torial rogues fall out they frankly acknowledge their purposes and resume friend-
ly relations. There is nothing serigus even though they are caught in the act.
It’s part of the game. :
Excuse tears while I add that no Senators have joined the Legisiative Bible
class, as yet. Still there is a good deal of consolation in the fact that the class is
MiLes.—Following a general decline in ;
health which had continued steadily for '
some weeks Mrs. John Q. Miles passed !
peacefully away at her home near Mar- |
tha Furnace at noon last Friday.
Deceased’s maiden name was Lydia A.
Richards and she was born at Martha
Furnace on January 10th, 1838, hence at :
her death was 77 years, 2 months and 23
days old. Her parents were among the |
pioneer residents of that section of Bald i
Eagle valley and as a girl she witnessed |
the operation of the old charcoal furnace |
at that place. On January 29th, ‘1865, |
she was united in marriage to John Q |
Miles and this last January they cele- |
| brated their golden wedding. All of the |
| fifty years were spent at their farm home i
, near Martha with the exception of the |
| three years from January, 1894, to Janu
i ary, 1897, when they lived in Bellefonte !
during Mr. Miles’ term as county treas-
urer. : |
Mrs. Miles was a member of the Bap-
| tist church all her life, and her chris-
| tianity was not measured alone by her
. church attendance and work. With her
| it was an every day guidance and bless-
| ing, and her home was characterized
with as much sacredness as her church.
In addition she was extremely kind and
| neighborly and through her able minis-
| trations and Mr. Miles’ whole-souled
| generosity the Miles home was one of
| the most hospitable in Centre county.
| Until her last illness Mrs. Miles took an |
| active interest in the social affairs of the
| community in which she lived, taking
i unusual delight in giving pleasure unto
| others.

__ | Jones, of Mill Hall, died at the Lock ; Dauphin county.
Miss MacAlarney is a graduate of
Wellesley College, and has since then
taught in Harrisburg and in the Horace
Mann school in Columbia University,
New York city. Newspaper work has
been out of teaching hours, her specialty,
and she has lately compiled an Anthology
of American Literature for use in
schools.
Suffrage activity is the result of foreign
travel, study and her father’s training.
In fact, Miss MacAlarney claims to have
been born a suffragist. Although she
has lectured on suffrage in New York a
number of times with excellent effect,
the work in her own State is but recent,
and the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage
Association is congratulating itself heart-
ily in adding her to its list of speakers
and workers.
Miss Emma MacAlarney who speaks
in the High school building on April 13th
will in the afternoon of that day address a
meeting in Milesburg on Woman Suffrage.
MANDOLLO ELECTROCUTED. — Nicolo
Mandollo failed to make good his declara-
tion that he would never be electrocuted,
but notwithstanding that fact he walked
undaunted and undismayed to the elec-
tric chair at the new penitentiary at
Rockview on Monday morning and suf-
fered the penalty prescribed by law for
the murder of Lillian Leonard, a waitress
in a restaurant at Uniontown on May
1st, 1914. Mandollo was attended by
Father Caprio and the electricity was
turned on at 7:10 o'clock. Four shocks
were administered and the Italian was
pronounced dead at 7:16. Sheriff M. A.
Keiffer, county detective John Smith,
who arrested Mandollo on the two occa-
sions that he took a human life, and the
district attorney of Fayette county who
secured his conviction, were among the
witnesses on Monday morning.

TwiN BEDs.—The charm of “Twin
Beds” lies in its naturalness, witty dia-
logue, clean theme, and hilarious situa-
tions, which follow each other with the!
rapidity of a Maxim-Nordfelt in action.
Salisbury Field and Margaret Mayo paid
no attention to the lure of the French
farce and its suggestive situations, be-
lieving that there was mirth and laugh-
ter with suggestiveness. That they were
correct is proven by the fact that “Twin
Beds” is now in its sixth hilarious month
in New York, with every indication of
running for another year or more. The
story deals with a ludicrous mix-up of
two young married couples in an apart-
ment house in New York and there is a
good laugh every minute of the play. At
