THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
——Miles Decker this week bought a
‘five passenger Maxwell car.
——A little daughter was born to Mr.
and this is probably one reason why the
‘new Titan Metal company has not been
‘more widely exploited hereabouts. Be
' that as it may, however, the promoters of
the company have gone quietly along
| with the enterprise and have not only built
| their plant but on Tuesday the first

——"“The Open Window,” featuring
Ruth Day, will be the opening attraction
at Garman’s next Wednesday evening,
September 15th.
——Judge and Mrs. Ellis L. Orvis have
announced the engagement of their
miece, Miss Marjorie Achison Lyon, to
-Dr. Daniel Edwards, of Savannah, Ga.
"Edmund Joseph recently passed a suc-
‘cessful examination before the New
York city law examining board and was
admitted to practice at the bar of that
city.
—— Lamb street from Allegheny to
Water street has been closed for almost
two weeks undergoing repairs which,
when completed, will put it in fine condi-
tion. The work is being done by the
borough.
——The oil drillers in Brush valley
struck a pot of gas at a depth of one
thousand feet, which was strong enough
to burn when a lighted match was ap-
plied to it. Hence the drillers have ac-,
quired increased confidence.
——H. C. Burkett, of Stormstown, has
purchased the old hotel property at War-
riorsmark from Howard Burkett for
$1,600. He will remodel the same and
put it in good condition for the accom
modation of the traveling public.
——The Pennsylvania State Sunday
school convention will be held at Erie
October 5th to 8th inclusive. Centre
county is entitled to thirty delegates.
Application for delegate credential cards
should be made to Darius Waite, Belle-
fonte.
——A shooting bout was held at State
College last Thursday afternoon between
members of the State College and Lock
Haven gun clubs. W. L. Foster won the
shoot by a score of 47 out of a possible
50, while C. A. Jobson, of Lock Haven,
was second with a score of 46.
——The usual Y. M. C. A. Star Course
will be held this year, the opening num-
er to be in October, a concert by the
Daveny Festival Quintet. The sale of
course tickets began on September 6th.
The price will be one dollar as usual
‘with children’s tickets fifty cents.
——DBoth the women and men, who are
included among the Suffrage enthusiasts
of Centre county, visiting the Granger's
picnic next week, are most cordially in-
vited to make their headquarters at the
“Suffrage tent. This tent will be in charge
of Miss Florence Rhone, of Centre Hall.
——Peaches have been selling in Belle-
fonte the past week for the lowest price
ever known here, from 30 to 65 cents a
basket, according to the quality of the
fruit. Good York county peaches sold
at the car on Tuesday for 30 and 50
‘cents and there is a probability of them
going lower.
——Frederick D. Ray Jr., a brother of
‘H. S. Ray, of the Brockerhoff house, an-
nounces his association with Mr. Burton
F. White in the management of the new
Hote! Bossert, Brooklvn, N. Y. The
hotel is located at the junction of Mon-
tague, Hicks and Remsen streets, and
overlooks New York harbor.
~——With another ten days or two
‘weeks of nice weather Gehret & Lambert
will complete the new hatchery building
at the Bellefonte fish hatchery, which
will be considerably under the time limit
:set by the Fish Commission. The build-
ding is entirely fireproof in construction
and built to withstand the elements as
well, so that it will endure for years to
come.
~The annual reunion of the Centre
<ctounty Veteran club at the High school
“building tomorrow will be in the shape
“of a basket picnic and the High school
tkitchen will be thrown open for the use
“of any of the veterans who may want to
utilize it in preparing coffee, etc. The
same accommodations were afforded the
soldiers last year and they found it very
convenient.
——Up until Tuesday evening County
Treasurer John D. Miller had issued but
seventy-five hunters’ licenses. While
this number may be thought small in
comparison to the almost four thousand
issued last year the fact must be taken
into consideration that the real gunning
season does not begin until October first
and that is just three weeks off. By that
-date the usual number of licenses will
dikely be taken out.
——Announcement has been made of
the marrige of Miss Margaret M. Potter
of Philadelphia and Ellis Bierly, of Miles-
burg. The wedding having taken place
at the home of Mrs. Potter’s sister Mrs.
John W. Little at Rutherford, N. J., on
‘Wednesday of last week. Mrs. Bierly is
-a daughter of John F. 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.

—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.

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.

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.

——The court house was invaded by a
small army of foreigners on Wednesday
under the command of field marshalls
David Chambers, John Boyce, Charles
Watson and John Kachick and at first it
looked as if it might be their intention
to capture the Centre county seat of gov-
ernment by force; but when the entire
contingent swooped down upon the pro-
thonotary’s office it was evident that
they wanted to be made citizens
of the United States. 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.
