BRIEF SESSION OF BOROUGH COUNCIL.— Seven members were present at the reg- ular meeting of borough council on Mon- day evening. President Walker was ab- sent on account of illness and Dr. Brock- erhoff was elected to preside. Burgess Blanchard was present and presented in substance a resolution he asked council to pass requesting proper- ty owners to refrain from renting any portion of their property for stands of any kind during the Old Home week without providing that the regular li- cense or concession be paid to the treas- urer of the Old Home week association; such concession to be $25.00. The mat- ter was referred to the borough solicitor to put in proper shape. Clerk W. T. Kelly read a letter from State Highway Commissioner Cunning- ham, in answer toa communication from borough council inquiring as to the prob- ability of having south Water street re- built, in which he stated that the outlook for any state aid during the next two years is very slim; that the amount of money appropriated by the Legislature was so small thatit will hardly suffice to complete the work now under way without undertaking any new work. All of which means that south Water street « will remain in its present condition un- less rebuilt by the borough and adjacent property owners. A communication was received from John S. Ginter, of Tyrone, treasurer of the Pruner orphanage fund, in which he stated that the balance of $847.43 ap- pearing in the auditor’s statement as un- collected and unpaid was somewhat mis- . leading. Of the above amount he asked that authority be given him to charge to loss the sum of $385, which was a bad and uncollectable account when he was ~ elected treasurer, and for which he was not responsible. The balance of the amount had either been collected now or soon would be. He further stated that with possibly one exception all the prop- erties were rented to responsible parties, and with some much needed repairs it would be no trouble to rent all very ad- vantageously. A communication was received from the chairman of the Civic committee of the Woman's club requesting council to appoint a forestry commission with au- thority to supervise and dictate the trim- ming of shade trees on the streets. No action was taken so far as making any appointment was concerned, but Mr. Cherry, of the Village Improvement com- mittee, suggested the passing of an ordi- mance requiring all property owners to keep their shade trees trimmed up a cer- tain number of feet from the ground, ten or twelve feet as deemed best. As they now are on some streets the branches are so low and thick that they obscure the street lights. The matter was referred to the committee and borough solicitor. The Street committee reported that the repairs on the bridge over the race near the Phcenix mill had been about completed. The Fire and Police committee pre- sented the burgess’ check for $23.00 for fines and licenses collected since the last meeting. The Finance committee reported the balance in the hands of the borough treasurer as $550.35. The committee also asked for the renewal of notes for $600, $2,000, $1,100, $1,800 and $500, which was authorized. The Street committee reported prog- ress in the matter of south Potter street. A petition was received from a num- “ ber of residents of east Lamb street re- questing that the underground sewer be extended up that thoroughfare and pledg- ing $50.00 toward defraying the expense. The matter was referred to the Street committee. Chairman Harris, of the Street com- mittee, complained about the action of ‘the State-Centre Electric company in * leaving piles of dirt and stones lay around ~ the town wherever they erect a pole, ~ notwithstanding his repeated demand that they remove same. Council passed a resolution instructing the clerk to serve & a written notice on the company that all such dirt and stones must be removed within twenty-four hours, or they will be removed by the borough at the com- pany’s expense. The Water committee presented the request of Col. W. F. Reynolds that he be permitted to dispose of the unused machinery in the Pheenix mill, principal- ~ y the boiler and engines, as they are only deteriorating by standing idle. The chairman of the Water committee stated that there is not even a probability ‘that the borough will ever want to use said machinery, but to be on the safe side council granted the request to sell .on condition that if the machinery ever is needed it will be replaced. Mr. Cherry, representing residents of north Thomas street, asked that said -street be covered with crushed limestone, that the street be oiled, the property owners furnishing the oil, and that they be afforded protection against the fast o Our Weekly Summary of Legislative Activities.

The “Old dog Tray” stuff makes no appeal to the Governor or the members of the last General Assembly. Among the bills approved on Monday is one per- mitting sheep owners to kill unaccompanied dogs that enter fields in which sheep are kept and another placing a license tax of from $2 to $4 on dogs and author- izing County Commissioners to collect such tax; increasing the salaries of mine inspectors; creating a bureau of forest fire protection.

Referred to the Street committee. At this juncture Mr. Brockerhoff, as chairman of the Finance committee, took occasion to warn all chairmen of com- mittees that they are spending too much money. That no chairman should spend over fifty dollars as the limit on authorized repairs. When any piece of work exceeded that amount the matter should be brought before council for special action and authorization. He stated that the borough expenses are ex- ceeding the receipts and if the present extravagant way of doing is continued he, as chairman of the Finance commit- tee, will absolutely refuse to recommend the execution of a new note for the pay- ment of the bills; that council will have to act, if it is so inclined, without his recommendation, as he would no longer be a party to such extravagance. The doctor’s announcement came some- what like a thunderclap out of a clear sky, but his statement was so charged with truth that not a member had. the courage to take issue with him. Bills to the amount of $1868.79 were approved and council adjourned. — BIG SALE OF DESIRABLE LoTs.—Haupt & Brown are offering 100 choice building lots situated in Bellefonte borough and Spring township for sale on easy pay- ment and attractive protective plan— prices ranging from $100.00 to $300.00— that cannot fail to appeal to buyers, namely: 25 per cent. down and balance in monthly payments in amounts to suit the purchaser, or liberal discount for cash. After one-half of purchase price is paid, a deed clear of all encumbrances will be given heirs in case of death of original purchaser. These lots are con- veniently located on Half Moon Terrace, two minutes’ walk from P. R. R. Passen- ger Station, and are very desirable for building lots as well as investments, by reason of the scarcity of houses due to the erection of the new penitentiary, new metal works and other industries in im- mediate prospect. Headquarters are at : J. K. Johnston’s law offices, opposite Court House, or Scenic Theatre, High street, Bellefonte, Pa. 60-24-1t. ——The Cherrytree iron works at Cherrytree will be sold at trustee’s sale on June 17th, at one o'clock p. m. These iron works have been operated since February, 1912, under the trusteeship of the Cambria Title, Savings & Trust com- pany, of Ebensburg, with Edward P. Irwin, of Bellefonte, as manager. The plant is still in operation, and the sale is being made to close out the trusteeship. ——Contractors Gehrett& Lambert are this week putting a new paneled steel ceiling in the dining room of the Gar- man house which will add very much to its appearance and durability.

HARPSTER.— Last week’s WATCHMAN contained a brief notice of the accident |. which resulted in the death of Claude Harpster, the fifteen year vld son of Mr. and Mrs. James Harpster, of Rock Springs, and there seems to be a misun- derstanding as to how the accident hap- pened. One story is that the boy was riding one horse and leading another on his way to the blacksmith shop when an automobile came along and frightened the horses, and in their plunging about the boy was thrown off and trampled upon, causing injuries which resulted in “his death. It happens that the automo- bile referred to was Sheriff Lee’s, and that gentleman maintains that the boy was not out on the main road when he passed and the horses did not frighten at his machine, as he was looking at the boy until after he passed and the horses were - all right then. Be the cause what it may, the accident happened on Tuesday and three physicians were called in consultation. No marks of any kind could'be fund on the boy’s body, but he complained of pain in his abdo- men and after lingering until six o'clock Wednesday evening his spirit took its flight. Clyde was a model boy in every way, a regular attendant at church and Sun- day school, a good help to his parents, and a favorite in that neighborhood, so that his untimely death has caused uni- versal regret. Rev. R. M. Campbell had charge of the funeral services which were held at the home at eleven o’clock last Saturday morning. ‘Burial was made in the new cemetery at Pine Grove Mills. CRONEMILLER.—Mrs. Emma G. Crone- miller, widow of George Cronemiller, died quite suddenly on Sunday evening while eating her supper at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. M. Grenoble. She had not felt well all day and her daugh- ter took her supper to her room. When she went back a short time afterwards she found her dead. Deceased was a daughter of . Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Houser and was born near Houserville, at her death being 71 years, 5 months and 7 days old. Fifty years ago she was united in marriage to Mr. Cronemiller and practically ‘her entire life was spent in College township. Her husband died a number of years ago but surviving her are seven of her eleven children: John Cronemiller, of Storms- town; Aaron, of Tacoma, Wash.; Cur- tin, Frank and Charles, of Patton; Mrs. Harry Rossman and Mrs. H. M. Greno- ble, of College township. Mrs. Crone- miller was a life-long member of the Re- formed church and a good, christian woman. The funeral was held at two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, burial being made beside her husband in the Pine Hall cemetery. McCrintock.—Howard A. McClintock, who a number of years ago resided in Bellefonte while clerking in Roundtree’s store, died at his home in Lock Haven, last Friday morning, of neuralgia of the heart, aged 58 years, 9 months and 24 days. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Miss Bessie Allen, of Lewistown, and Miss Heleri M., at home. He also leaves twc brothers and one sis- ter. Funeral services were held at his late home on Tuesday afternoon at two o’clock after which burial was made in the Cedar Hill cemetery. life to eternity on Tuesday when the venerable Shuman Lyon passed away at his home at Lyontown. About the mid- ‘| dle of March he contracted a bad cold which developed into the grip and he had been ailing ever since, though his condition even on Tuesday was not con- sidered serious, so that his death was quite sudden. Shuman Nathaniel Lyon was a son of Samuel and Hannah Lyon and was born in Clarion county on May 2nd, 1834, hence was 81 years, 1 month and 6 days ‘old. He came to this county when a boy {and located at the old Hecla furnace, | which was then in blast. When he grew - to manhood he went into the charcoal i operations, first as a wood" chopper and : later as a charcoal burner, following that { occupation until operations ceased in { Nittany valley. Later he purchased the i-small farm at Lyontown which has been | hig home for many years, and it is his i associations there and his genial cour- | teousness to all who knew him which | will be lovingly remembered by a legion | of triends. 3 He was one of the founders and lead- ‘ing supporters of the Weaver M. E. | church and had been a trustee and stew- ' ard for many years. He was a faithful i follower of the doctrines of the bible and i always practiced the golden rule. In i politics he was a Democrat, and this pa- | per lost a lifelong reader and a staunch | friend in his death. ; Upwards of sixty years ago he was | united in marriage to Miss Catharine i Young who survives with five children, i namely: Edward, of Elkhorn, W. Va.; town; William B., of Bellefonte; Frank- lin, of Mt. Carmel, and Harry, of Lyon- town. One son died in infancy.

She was a member of the Stitzer household a number of years but finally married James Murray, who died four years ago. She was the last surviv- ing member of her father’s family but surviving her is one daughter, Elizabeth, now Mrs. Summers, of Snow Shoe In- tersection. The funeral was held on Tuesday morning, burial being made. in the Union cemetery. I I Wise.—Anthony Wise died on Monday night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William Spotts, at Krumrine Station, after two days illness with heart trouble, superinduced by his advanced age. De- ceased was born in Germany and was eighty-one years old on last New Year's day. When he was seven years old his parents came to this country and located in Michigan where he grew to manhood.

The painting was from the well known studio of Antrim & Landsy, of Philadelphia. The gentlemen who so generously contributed towards the pic- ture donation were John I. Thompson, William P. Humes, Thomas Foster, Wil- liam Foster and Prof. John Hamilton. The latter made the presentation speech. ——A report has reached Bellefonte that Henry Gordon, the Centre county jail breaker, has gone to England and en- listed in the British army. The report may be correct, and then it may be a patched up story of Gordon to throw the authorities off of his track. Sr ————— ly fre pme—— ——Put your ad. in the WATCHMAN, LYON—A grand old man passed from Mrs. Charles Johnstonbaugh, of Lyon-’ ,cants for examination at the regular ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT COLLEGE.—The fifty-fifth annual com- i mencement at The Pennsylvania State! College this week will probably go down | in history as the most wonderful of any | held up to the present time. It required i a special train of seven Pullman carsi and a baggage car to bring the com- mencement guests from Philadelphia and | another train of three Pullmans, three | day coaches and a baggage car to trans- i port the Pittsburgh contingent, not | counting the hundreds of guests that ar- | rived on every train the latter part of last week from interior towns and cities. i And the automobile contingent was no | small factor in the large crowd, as every | day hundreds of machines wended their | way to and from the College. Naturally this college commencement | was very much like any other commence- ment so far as the routine part of athlet- ! ics, meetings, class reunions, house- parties at the various fraternities, etc. are concerned. In fact there were few distinguishing features. In his baccalau- reate sermon on Sunday Rev. N. M. Waters preached against worldliness as the great American sin and pictured William Jennings Bryan as a man only one removed from the ministry. He stated that if Bryan, instead of spending his vacations on the Chautauqua plat- form had spent them in “hitting golf balls or sitting on a hotel porch drinking | highballs, nothing would have been heard but approval of the Secretary of State as ! a high minded gentleman.” At the various business meetings on Tuesday all the old trustees were re- elected to serve another term. At the commencement exercises on Wednesday morning H. Walton Mitchell Esq., of Pitts- burgh, president of the Board of Trus- tees, made the commencement address, and one point he emphasized particularly was loyalty to their Alma Mater by the young graduates. President Sparks made a brief talk in which he deplored the fact that the last Legislature found it impos- sible to grant the College the appropria- tioh asked, as money is badly needed for new buildings if the College is to contin- ue to grow in size and influence in the future as it has in the past, and he urged the alumni to be more active in their in- terest in the institution. At Wednesday morning’s session de- grees were conferred and diplomas awarded to a class of 365 graduates, of which the following are from Centre county: Samuel H. Gray, Horace J. Hartranft, LeRoy D. Locke, J. Harris Ole- wine, Francis E. Thomas and R. H. Wes: ton, of Bellefonte; E. L. Bowman, H. C. Davis, Miss K. L. Etters, J. L. Graffius and R. E. Keller, State College, and Ed- ward Moore, Philipsburg. Eighty-six oth- er young men and women of Centre county are enrolled in the various classes and departments of the College. >oe— MCcCoRMICK—MURDOCK. — On Thurs- day of last week Walter T. McCormick, of State College, and Miss Emma Mur- dock, of Waynesburg, were united in mar- riage at the home of the bride’s parents in the latter city. Following the wed- ding a reception was tendered the young couple and during the past week they have been spending their honeymoon at- tending the State Coilege commence- ment. The bridegroom is a son of Hon. John T. McCormick and a graduate of Penn State, class of 1907. He is now lo- cated in Waynesburg where he holds a good position with the United Telephone company. His many Centre county friends extend congratulations. BRUGGER—LANSBERRY.—Quite an elab- orate wedding occurred at the home of Mrs. Leah Lansberry, at Unionville, last Thursday afternoon, when her daughter, Miss Bessie Lansberry, was united in marriage to Cornelius King Brugger, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Brugger. About forty guests were present to witness the ceremony which was performed by Rev. W. A. Lepley. The attendants were Miss Rebie Calhoun, as maid of honor; Misses Mary Lansberry and Margaret Brugger, bridesmaids, and Harry Kershner, best man. A wedding dinner followed .the ceremony after which Mr. and Mrs. Brugger left on a two week’s wedding trip. KEEFER—BRUNGART.—On Wednesday morning of last week Thomas M. Keefer, of Youngwood, Pa., and Miss Cora A’ Brungart, of Centre Hall, were united in marriage at the home of ex-sheriff and Mrs. Cyrus Brungart, by Rev. D. S. Kurtz. Only a few friends were present to wit- ness the ceremony. Following a deli- cious wedding breakfast Mr. and Mrs. Keefer motored to Bellefonte and left on a wedding trip to Washington and other eastern cities. Returning they will locate at Youngwood where the ‘bridegroom is employed by the Pennsylvania railroad company. DALE—YOUNG. — Henry L. Dale, of State College, and Miss Ruth Young, of Altoona, journeyed to Gettysburg yes- terday where they were united in the holy bonds of wedlock at the home of the bride's sister. They will spend a day or two in sight-seeing over that historic battlefield and then go to New York where Mr. Dale has a good position awaiting him. The bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Dale, on the Branch, and has a host of friends in Col- lege township, who wish him well on his matrimonial journey. ——There® are twenty-three appli- term of naturalization court which will AT STATE t CLUBS, LODGES, SOCIETIES, ETC. 3 IN THE INTEREST OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Mrs. Ball, who talks in the court house on Tuesday evening, holds a rather unique position in the public eye. She was born and bred on the western plains and taught a pioneer school when 15 years old. The school was held in an abandoned shack saloon and was the birth place of her interest in the U. S. : flag. She was almost the original cow- boy-girl, in that she herded her father’s cattle, broke many an acre of sod,planted corn by hand and with corn planter; ran a threshing machine, and was able to shoulder a two bushel sack of wheat. She could ride a horse bareback and pick up her hat from the ground without spilling 0 Since those days she has been much honored by the Union veterans of the Civil war. She is a “Daughter of the Regiment in thirty different States. She is Past National Senior Vice-President of the Woman’s Relief Corps and was its’ | chairman for seven years of committee | to prevent desecration of the flag. She has given flag talks in most of the big cities of the country. She has been a newspaper woman for 35 years; associate editor of the National Tribune, Washington, D. C,, for 12 years. She was the originator of the work of teaching of patriotism in the District of Columbia and the display of the U. S. flags on all occasions. She helped engi- neer through Congress the bill which placed flags on all the school houses in the District of Columbia. Since she is believed to be an authority on the flag, itis to be hoped that the court house will be crowded to its utmost on June 15th, at 8 o’clock. HELEN E. C.
