Miller had issued but seventy-five hunters’ licenses.

Potter and lived ‘the greater part of her life in Milesburg, where Mr. and Mrs. Bierly will go to smake there home upon returning from their wedding trip. long until the Titan Metal company plant | will be a regular hive of industry. | The promoters and incorporators of ! the company are C. H. Kerk, of Philadel- | phia; C. Y. Wagner, F. E. Naginey, Wil- | liam P. Seig, John S. Walker, John Mc- | Coy and A. Fauble, of Bellefonte, and the i object is to manufacture Titan bronze ac- | cording to a process invented and pat- | ented by Dr. C. T. Hennig, formerly of | Pittsburgh but now of Bellefonte. The | company has been capitalized at $100,- 1000, and has been financed almost en- | tirely by local capital. When the company was first organized the question of finding a suitable plant in which to manufacture the bronze had to be considered. In looking around the most promising site seemed to be the old rolling mill at the McCoy & Linn iron works. Negotiations were at once begun and the site was finally secured, the lease including the old building and all its contents of machinery, etc., the prin- cipal things being the rolls, big engine and water wheel. The building itself was torn down, the good timbers being used in the rebuilding of a new plant. Other building material was secured in the demolishing of the Bellefonte and Nit- tany furnaces with the result that the company now has a plant that is worth at least forty thousand dollars and which did not cost half that amount. A WATCHMAN representative visited the plant on Saturday and was very courteously shown through the entire place. First they have erected a ma- chine shop about 30x50 feet in size which is fully equipped with planers and lathes for doing all kinds of work. This will be used in the up-keep of their own establishment. The plant itself consists of a rolling and cooling room 60x128 feet in size, in which are located the large and small rolls, boilers and engine, etc. The smelt- ing room is 40x60 feet in size and con- tains four smelting furnaces in which the various metals which enter into the composition of Titan bronze will be melted, mixed in their proper proportion and molded into billets. South of the main room is another room 26x60 feet in which are two heating furnaces and a blacksmith shop. In these furnaces the billets will be heated to the proper tem- perature to put through the rolls. East of this latter room is a room 18x26 feet in which are two big power hammers, which will be used in the forging pro- cesses through which the metal is put. Another room 18x128 feet in size is lo- cated just eastof the main room, and this will be equipped with machinery for ‘finishing the bronze into marketable product. The plant is equipped through- out with electric light, and electrically- driven tramways and traveling cranes for carrying the metal from one part of the plant to the other. The plant throughout is built of con- crete, brick and steel and is entirely fire- proof. Practically all the shafting and belting has been placed in conduits under the concrete floor, so that every possible danger from revolving shafts and belts has been eliminated. The big turbine water wheel has been reset in a concrete forebay and as tested out furnishes 260 horsepower. This will be used to turn the big rolls, furnish power to the forging department and some of the smaller machinery. The 150 horsepower engine will furnish the power for the small rolls and other machinery as installed. Crude oil will be used for all fuel pur- poses, such as furnishing fuel for the boilers and under the smelting and heat- ing furnaces. A large tank has been erected along the railroad tracks and the oil will be fed to the boilers and furnaces by gravity. Edward McKinley, of Miles- burg, is the engineer in charge. One of the busiest men about the plant is Dr. C. T. Hennig. He will have a gen- eral supervision over everything, while W. P. Seig will be the superintendent in charge. The company claims to have a number of large orders for their material in bulk and the finished product and ex- pect to be able to begin filling some in the near future. While it is practically a new thing, and its success has yet to be proven, every one connected with the company is very sanguine as to the outcome, and if their claims and hopes are fully established the Titan Metal company plant may some day grow to vast proportions. At the outset they will start with about fifty employees and this number will be in- creased as the requirements demand. The plant was closed to the general pub- lic on Tuesday and hereafter visitors will run up against the usual “No admittance’ signs. : Ln ——After being off duty about a month on account of illness, Joseph Undercoffer, assistant baggage master at the Penn- syivania railroad depot, went to work again on Monday morning. Though con- siderably improved he is not yet perma- nently cured. ——If you believe it for the best inter est of our people that the Judge be ng tied up in politics or any special interes vote for J. Kennedy Johnston. 60-36-2 § ——Gregory Bros,, proprietors of Can dyland, will shortly open a branch stor: at State College, in the room former occupied by Miss Snyder, as a millinery store. The new store will be supplied entirely from the Bellefonte Candylang, and will be entirely a selling depot for candy, Etc. { ——Harold Newman, aged nineteen, of Hannah Furnace, a young man who has figured in a number of escapades, is now in the Centre county jail on the charg of taking $18.50 from Arnold Kephart, a twelve year old boy, and also uncoupling a moving freight train. He admitted the former charge but claims the latter was an accident. — a ——Vote for J. Keennedy Johnston for the office of judge. A man who has hai pratical experiences—in youth on the farm, in the lumber woods, teaching public school-with 19 years general prac tice in law in our own and other States A man who knows no distinction under the law but that all men are and shoul¢ be equal as real justice demands. 60-36-2: ——M. B. Garman has finally gotter rid of his horses and purchased a Frank lin runabout. He is probably the last of the enthusiastic lovers of horses to for sake his old love and turn to the more modern way of travel. And to his cred: it, be it said, that so far he has maintain- ed the same conservative spirit in driv- ing his machine that he displayed in the care and driving of his horses. —Our close personal friend, George Musser, of Boggs township, brought to this office on Wednesday a stalk of clover pulled from a wheat stubble field that measured just three feet from the roots to the clover blossom. When it is con- sidered that that ‘s all this-year’s growth it is some clover, and the farmer has good reason to fear that the crop may grow itself out this year, and leave noth- ing for next summer’s hay crop. ——*“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” is a very trite saying, and the same maxim applies to older people as well. In looking around for a place to find the proper kind of relaxation, don’t forget the Scenic. An hour or so spent there every evering is as good as a tonic to the tired and over-wrought from a hard day's work. It is just the relaxation needed to put one in shape for a good night's rest. Then the pictures are interesting and instructive, as well as amusing. ——Garman’s opera house will open for the season next Wednesday evening, September 15th, with the big success, “The Open Window.” A female Raffles may not be an original theme to the stage, but everyone will admit that such a character is a most interesting one. “The Open Window” has for its leading part just such a character. The theme proper is “Sociology.” “Could a female thief be reformed and become a useful member of society?” The play is a power- ful, intense drama that holds the audi- ence as few plays have done. Don't fail tosee it. Prices, 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents and a few $1.00 seats. ar OPENING OF BELLEFONTE ACADEMY.— The Bellefonte Academy will open on Tuesday of next week, September 14th. Day pupils will report at 9 o'clock. Wed- nesday morning. James R. Hughes, supervising princi- pal, is spending the latter half of this week with the University of Pittsburgh football squad as a guest of the Univer- sity, and expects to arrive home tomor- row. His trip in the interest of the Academy is said to have been very suc- cessful and many new faces will be seen among the student body this year. BiG FRESHMAN CLASS FOR PENN STATE. —The Pennsylvania State College will open for the ensuing year on Wednesday of next week and up to the present time seven hundred applicants have success- fully passed the examination and been enrolled in full standing in the Freshman class. Registrar A. H. Espenshade esti- mates that with its increased facilities the College can take care of a Fresh- man class of one thousand, but it is pos- sible that the number will be kept down to about 750. Of the new applicants already enrolled seventy-five are young women. In addition to the regular Freshman class 150 have been enrolled in the two year course in agriculture. There will be no room for special students. eb BELLEFONTE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN WITH BIG ATTENDANCE.—The Bellefonte public schools opened on Monday morn- ing with the largest attendance ever re- corded. Up to noon on Wednesday the enrollment lacked a few of being 800, as against 743 at the same time last year. Every school is crowded and the High school especially, with 202 pupils, is bad- ly in need of more room. Every teacher was present bright and early in the morning, looking very much refreshed after their summer vacation. A noticeable feature in the attendance at the High school is the increased num- ber of students from the country, which shows that the high standard attained by the Bellefonte schools is recognized throughout the county. Jonas A. Wagner, supervising principal, expressed himself as well pleased with the good showing made in the schools this week and aver- red that there is nothing to prevent a very successful school year.

All told there were just thirty-two of them, and they were of various nationalities, but as it was only their first appearance and they merely took out papers declaring their intention to become citizens political candidates needn’t worry about them this campaign. ——The men who are fighting the nomination and election of J.
