BiG FIRE AT STATE COLLEGE.—The big ! threestory frame building on east College avenue, State College, owned by P. H. i Gentzel, was entirely destroyed by fire on : Wednesday night. The building was | occupied by J. H. Musser’s grocery store: | George C. Harper, pictures and picture | framing establishment and Miss Myra | Kimport’s millinery store. The second i and third stories were in flats and occu- i pied by the families of W. W. Knox, W. | E. Gentzel, Clarence Blazer, Frank M. | Buchman, general secretary of the Col- lege Y. M. C. A, and Miss M. E. Foster, with Fred Yeager and L. E. Armstrong as roomers. | The fire started about nine o'clock in | the evening in the rear of Harper's pic- i ture establishment, and in view of the | fact that there had not been any fire in | that part of the store during the day, it | ! is believed to have been a case of spon-' taneous combustion. The fire burned rapidly and spread quickly to Musser’s | grocery store so that it was impossible to | Miss Kimport’s millinery stock was saved | and most of the furniture of the tenants i on the second and third floors. Mr. Gentzel carried a fair insurance on { the building and Mr. Musser’s stock was | covered with insurance. Miss Kimport and George Harper had no insurance ried insurance, so that their loss is not complete. The State College fire compa- ny and students did valiant service in preventing the fire from spreading and saving so much property from the burn- i ed building. The block will probably be rebuilt with a substantial brick structure. ANNUAL MEETING AND BANQUET OF FIREMEN’S RELIEF ASSOCIATION.—The annual meeting of the Firemen’s Relief association was held in the Logan fire company hall on Tuesday evening at which the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Heinle; vice president, Benton D. Tate; treasurer, John McSuley; secretary, Harry J. Jackson. The secretary’s report showed the association to be in good standing financially and otherwise. Following the meeting the Logan fire company entertained the association with the customary annual banquet, and it was some feast. About one hundred and fifty firemen and guests partook of the spread and upwards of one hundred pounds of turkey and chicken were con- edibles. Jacob Marks was chairman of the banquet committee and the complete success of the affair was largely due to his expert knowledge on gastronomic affairs generally. When smoke time came Milton R. Johnson, president of the Logan fire com- pany, took charge as toastmaster and after a neat ittle speech in which he bid everybody a hearty welcome introduced Dr. M. J. Locke. The doctor responded nobly with a plain talk on patriotism and citizenship and his word picture of the difference between the two was so vivid as to be almost painful. Burgess Edmund Blanchard was next introduced and he extolled the good work of Bellefonte’s volunteer firemen, which is so well known by everybody that the WATCHMAN endorses every word the burgess said. ‘Toastmaster Johnson then called upon Col. H. S. Taylor, and as he had been properly stuffed with turkey and all the other good things to eat, he was in the right mood for talking and after he paid a glowing tribute to the firemen and placed the American eagle upon a gilded pedestal of patriotism he told all that Dr. Locke overlooked about good citizenship. Mr: Healey, of the western peniten- tiary, responded briefly when introduced, after which the gathering adjourned, al- though many remained in harmless mer- ry-making until after midnight. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF FORMER BELLE- FONTE LADY.—The WATCHMAN is in re- ceipt of a clipping from a Monrovia, Cal., paper recording an accident on one of the mountain roads of that State in which an automobile party had a mirac- ulous escape from death. Mrs. W. F. Reeder was one of the party and in that lies the local interest. Mrs. Reeder was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Leland S. Foulke on adrive over the Mt. Wilson boulevard. Another lady and gentleman were in the party. Two miles or more up the moun- tainas the touring car was going into one of the sharp curves a big freight auto truck appeared suddenly around the corner, going at a pretty fair rate of speed. Mr. Foulke stopped his car and though the driver of the truck attempted to do so hecould not in time and it crash- ed into the car head-on. As it happened the car was not shoved off the road, and aside from smashing a lamp and bent fenders little damage was done. All the occupants of the car got out except Mrs. Reeder and one other woman, and when the truck was pulled loose from the automobile it started back- ward down the mountain. Mr. 1saacs, who was one of the party, made one jump and caught the brake lever, stopping the car as it was within six inches of go- ing over a one thousand foot precipice. Had the car gone over it would have meant the death of both occupants. However, after the first stage of fright had passed, the party proceeded on their way, completing the climb to the top of the mountain without further incident or mishaps.

Train No. 4 was on its way to Clearfield and on nearing Osceola Mills one of the passengers notified the conductor thata man had fallen off the train. Inquiry was at once made through every car but no one seemed to be missing and by that time the train was at Osceola. The pas- senger was persistent in the fact that he had seen a man fall off and to be on the safe side the agent called Tyrone and The order came to shift the train to the south-bound track and have it back up to where the man was supposed to have fallen off. They did so and on reaching the spot | came upon an old man walking along the road toward Osceola. His clothing look- ed as if he had been rolling on the ground and he showed evidence of being rather the worse for drink. The train was stopped and the conductor asked: “Where are you going?” “To Clearfield,” replied the man. “Well, come and get on, and hurry,” said the conductor. The man made his way up the bank, crawled on the t.ain and after telling the conductor how he fell off and rolled down the bank into the road he said: “It was darned accommodatin’ of you to come back after me,” and producing an unbroken flask from his hip pocket ex- tended it to the conductor with the hos- pitable remark, “Here, have a drink on me!” - > AN OPPORTUNINY pose of his china store in the Centre! County Bank building and is offering it ! for sale, either as an established business ° or failing to secure such a customer, he will dispose of the stock and fixtures at a sacrifice sale. Here is an old and established business opportunity for someone. The store is unique in that it has not an equal in Cen- tral Pennsylvania. It is really an insti- tution in Bellefonte and since the time the late W. H. Wilkinson started it it has had a reputation probably more widely known than any other Bellefonte mer- cantile establishment. Mr Gardner wants to retire because he has other business engagements that he cannot sacrifice and which demand more of his attention than he can give while giving proper attention to this store. He will sell it’at a bargain and any- one wishing to embark in a nice clean business, in which there has been a sat- isfactory return, upon the investment, might do well to inquire into this oppor- tunity. NOTED VIOLINIST AT MISHLER'S.—It is the policy of the Mishler Theater, Al- toona, to at least once each season offer to the people of this section of the State who desire high class intellectual enter- tainment, an eminent musical artist of international fame.

The prices will range 50c., 75c., $1.00, $1.50 and $2.00. Special attention will be paid to. reservations from other points than Altoona. You can make mail orders now.
