The money will be applied to the fund for the furnishing and equip- ment of the pathological laboratory. ——George Young has leased the bar- ber shop on the northeast corner of the Diamond, better known as Beck’s barber shop, and took charge this morning. The new proprietor is a steady, indus: trious young man, with all the arts of the tonsorial craftsman at his fingers ends, and deserves his share of the patronage of Bellefonte. ——While a number of Penn State stu- dents were holding a “molasses feed” on the sixth floor of Old Main, one night last week, a portion of the floor about twenty-five feet square collapsed and dropped to the floor below.

A much larger show is anticipated this year and a general invitation is extended the public to attend. ——The handsome home of W. D. O’Brien at Snow Shoe was almost com- pletely destroyed by fire on Monday afternoon. The fire started on the roof and is supposed to have originated from a spark from the kitchen chimney. By the time the local fire company arrived the entire roof was ablaze and realizing the futility of attempting to save the building, which was a frame. structure, the firemen assisted the family in remov- ing the furniture, most of which was got- ten out. Mr. O'Brien’s loss is estimated’ evening masked and in costume. RE ANOTHER KILLING IN SNOW SHOE TowNsHIP.—Andy Slavitch, an Austrian, was shot through the neck about eight o'clock on Sunday evening by Sophia Voyznak, wife of a boarding house keeper at Staub Hill, between Clarence and Cato, dying almost immediately. Mon- day afternoon the woman with her hus- band, Frank Voyznak and two small children, and Charlie Slavitch, John and Steve Doriozl, were all arrested by con- stable Edward Burns, of Snow Shoe township, and policeman Joseph Wade, of Snow Shoe borough, brought to Belle- | fonte and lodged in jail. The shooting was the result of a fight against the boarding house keeper and his wife, who is a buxom, rather comely i Austrian. It appears that on Sunday afternoon Charlie Slavitch went to the boarding house and proceeded to read the riot act to Mrs. Voyznak, calling her names that any woman would resent. And the boarding house mistress resented it by beating Slavitch over the head with a broomstick, inflicting a number of cuts, and finally throwing him bodily out of the house. In the evening Charlie and Andy Slavitch and John and Steve Doriozl went to the boarding house and began to throw stcnes against the door. Voyznak went out and endeavored to persuade them to desist but it only made them worse and they began throwing the stones through the windows. Mrs. Voyz- nak then went out and fired six shots in the air but the besiegers continued throwing stones. Grabbing a Stevens shot gun which was loaded with an ounce minnie ball Mrs. Voyznak stepped out- side and threatened to shoot if the men did not leave. Instead of leaving Andy Slavitch start- ed toward her and when only a few feet away she pulled up the gun and fired, the ball going through his neck from side to side, killing him almost instantly. The woman claims she shot in self- defense, as she was afraid the man would do her bodily harm. And that they must have been desperate is borne out by con- stable Burns, who avers that most every window in the house had been smashed and he counted eighteen stones as big as a man’s two fists which had been hurled through the windows, a number of them into the room where the woman was with her two little children. cto HALLOWE'EN AND OTHER FESTIVITIES. —Hallowe’en is always a season of gayety and merry making and the young people and children of Bellefonte took advantage of it to parade the streets on Saturday There were ‘also: various parties and indoor gatherings which passed off very pleas- antly. The !Seven Darlings” sewing club (of course there are other darlings in Belletonte,) started their merry making on Friday evening when they held a pro- gressive function, visiting the home of each member and partaking of refresh- ments. On Saturday evening Miss Anna Straub entertained the club at the home of her father, Elmer Straub, and just to prove that the Seven Darlings are not a selfish bunch they invited seven other darlings and a partner for each darling, said partners being mostly from State College. The Straub home was beauti- fully decorated with spruce, corn, pump- kins, and a regular Indian wigwam, and the program for the evening included various Hallowe'en games and dancing, with the customary refreshments. It was one of the most succesful Hallowe'en en- tertainments held in Bellefonte. On Tuesday evening Mrs. William H. Bottorf entertained a party of five tables at five hundred and two tables of bridge. Other parties of the week included one at William H. Garmans, last Fridayeven- ing, for his son, John Garman, when twelve young people were present. Mrs. Hugh S. Taylor gave a children’s party on Saturday evening for her daugh- ters, Mary and Louise, and on Monday evening Miss Barbara Levi entertained a Spring street. —< SoN.—The weather on Monday was not very auspicious for the opening of the rabbit hunting season, being too dry and too warm. Rabbit hunting is generally associated with a tracking snow, but inasmuch as the season will close this year on November 30th hunters "will be compelled to take the game when they get it, regardless of no snow or other weather conditions. Among the hunters who went out on Monday morning were Harry Keeler and Hickman Kellerman. They hunted on Muncy mountain and returned at noon- time with five rabbits, two pheasants and a big red fox. The latter was shot by Kellerman. Joe Runkle came in Monday evening with ten nice, fat rabbits, the limit for his day’s hunt, while another hunter turkey, five rabbits and two pheasants. HALLOWE'EN SHOOTING AFFAIR.— On Saturday evening Andy Gordon, fifteen years of age, and a companion named. Bloom, of Pleasant View, were getting ready to go out Hallowe’ening. Bloom had a revolver but no blank cartridges so he borrowed some loaded cartridges from Gordon. Whileloading the weapon it was accidentally discharged the ball penetrating Gordon's right side coursing through and lodging in the back. Gor- don was taken to the Bellefonte hospital and so far there are no indications of any serious consequences. The shooting at eleven thousand dollars, about half covered by insurance. was entirely accidental and no arrest was made. a rubbing machine while washing. She paid little attention to the injury until a week later when blood poisoning devel- for ten days or two weeks but she is now getting along all right and on a fair way to recovery. oon ——It took the North ward election board until 9.30 o’clock Wednesday fore- noon to complete its work of counting the 459 ballots cast at Tuesday's election and making out the return sheets. The South ward board got through shortly after eight o'clock. And now some vo- ters are advocating making four wards out of the two, ——Last Friday evening a number of boys began the Hallowe’en celebration by parading the streets and throwing stones and bricks at houses. On Bishop street the doors on several houses were badly defaced with bricks hurled against them. While this kind of sport might be amusing to those indulging in it, it is not gentlemanly and every young American ought to be true sport enough not to do to another’s property what he would not like to have done to his own or his fath- er’s house. —— The annual session of the Centre county teachers’ institute will be held at Philipsburg next week, beginning Mon- day afternoon. County superintendent David O. Etters has arranged a good program for the week, with a splendid corps of instructors and lecturers. The evening entertainments are also of a high class. Bellefonte will miss the presence of the school teachers this year but the majority of sentiment was in favor of holding next week’s session in Philipsburg. ——The Penn State team lost to Har- vard on Saturday by the score of 13 to 0, although it is conceded that at best the score should have been 7 to 7. State made the first touch-down, which was not allowed and this so rattled quarter- back Ewing that he dropped the ball on ja punt and the pigskin rolled behind State’s goal line where a Harvard player nailed it for a touch-down. Had State been allowed her well-earned touch-down the story of the game might have been entirely different. —The chicken supper given by the Spanish war veterans in the Gregg Post rooms on Monday evening was largely attended and proved a delightful social affair as well as an interesting event to both the Spanish war and G. A. R. veterans. The charter for the Spanish war veterans was presented by William P. Messinger, of Harrisburg. Among the guests present were comrades Breeden, Campbell and Mainsfield, of Hunt Camp, Pittsburgh. Clement Dale Esq., was present and made an appropriate speech. ——The election is now over and while all the candidates could not be elected every man will find splendid entertain- ment at the Scenic every evening during the week. The motion pictures being shown there now are the kind that in- terest both old and young. Some of the biggest and best features now staged are being shown right along at this popular place of amusement. In fact everybody who appreciates the best in motion pic- tures is to be seen among the audiences which crowd the place every evening. If you are not an attendant you ought to be. ——The new fish hatchery building near Pleasant Gap is almost completed and will be ready for the fall hatching of trout.

All the troughs are connected with a trough extending entirely around the building which feeds them with running water.

There were no verbal communications !but another petition was presented re- lating to the opening of south Potter street as originally laid out and the building of a substantial sidewalk. This matter is still in the hands of the Street committee and the petition was referred to it. Quite a lengthy communication was received from Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Health Commissioner, in which he called attention to the fact that the big spring drinking; that people stick their hands in the water to cool when overheated; that sometimes people have been known | to wade in the spring and it is also charg- bathed in it.” The Commissioner sug- gested that a lock be put on the gate and that to accommodate the public thirst sanitary drinking fountains be erected digging cesspools on the hills as a menace to the contamination of the spring and the borough solicitor. The Finance committee requested the | renewal of two notes, one for $5,000 and one for $1,500, for six months from No- committee also reported that the bor- ough treasurer would pay off two notes within the next two weeks. The Special committee reported pro- gress on the installation of the new street lighting system. presented but Dr. Brockerhoff objected to the payment of four or five of them for material furnished because it was not stated what it was for or where. The other bills were approved and council adjourned. Bic BARN BURNED.—The large barn on the farm of Miss Mary Fisher, at Penn Hall, was entirely destroyed by fire at an early hour last Saturday morning, with all its contents, including this year’s crops, six head of horses, nine head of cattle, six hogs and 250 chickens. farm is tenanted by William Sinkabine and his hay crop alone was estimated at eight hundred dollars. The fire was discovered about 2.30 o’clock Saturday morning by Mr. Frank Fisher who promptly gave the alarm. By the time the family got around the entire interior of the barn was a mass of seeth- ing flames and it was impossible to save the stock in the barn. In fact the proba- bility is that all the animals had already been suffocated. Not only the barn but all the surrounding outbuildings were burned. The farm house caught fire from the intense heat, and the home of Mr. Frank Fisher was also ablaze but the large crowd which gathered there from all through the valley succeeded in ex- tinguishing the fire on the two houses before much damage was done. How the fire originated at that time in the morning is a perplexing question. Miss Fisher's loss on the buildings is placed at $3,500, with $1,700 insurance. Mr. Sinkabine also places his loss at $3,500. He carried $2,500 insurance, but that included all his stock and quite a number of cattle which were not in the barn escaped. THOMPSON—MILLER. — Quite an elab- orate wedding took place at 4.30 o’clock on Saturday afternoon, in the Methodist church at Salona, when Clinton Thomas Thompson, son of Mr. and Mrs. John R.
