They tore loose from the sled and plunged into Spring Creek just be- low the old breast of the dam and sank in the mud until the water covered the top of the horses backs. The more they struggled the tighter they stuck and it was necessary to get another team and with an improvised barness pull them out. They were in the water over a half hour but aside from a good coating of mud were none the worse for their plunge. | two years since application was made to aid in the matter of paving the above til in January when triplicate agreements were sent here to be executed by the County Commissioners and the borough council. At a special meeting of council on Monday evening, January 31st, a res- olution was passed agreeing to execute ed to a petition. properly executed agreements must be in that office by Monday, March 27th, oth- erwise the money now set aside to be used for above paving would be zpplied elsewhere. Consequently at their meet- ing last Friday the County Commission- ers executed the agreements in due form and the matter was then up to the bor- ough council. While a petition has been circulated among the property owners residing along route 456 the signatures of two- thirds the total have not yet been secur- ed, but the men who have the petition feel positive that more than the necessa- ry number will finally sign up. The only thing to do under the circumstances was to pass a resolution rescinding the resolu- tion of January 31st, and this was done, the six members present, Cherry, Harris, Flack, Seibert, Shope and president Walk- er, voting for it unanimously. A resolu- tion was then introduced authorizing the president and secretary to execute the agreements and this passed by a5 to 0 vote, the president not voting because he would have to execute the agreement. A resolution presented by the Highway De- partment providing for the method of payment, etc., was then passed by a vote of all members present. The Highway Departm~nt’s estimate for the paving of south Water and Wil- lowbank streets for a width of sixteen feet is $12,000, of which the State will pay one-half, the county one-fourth and the borough one-fourth. For an addi- tional two feet on each side, curbing, etc., the estimated cost is $4,850, one-third of which amount will have to be paid by the borough and two-thirds by the con- tiguous property owners, which will make the total cost to the borough in the neighborhood of $4,000, but the re- sult will be a permanent street, which heretofore has always been a heavy ex- pense in up-keep and a miserably sloppy thoroughfare in wet weather. Immediately after council convened on Monday evening burgess Blanchard re- ported that he had been in communica tion with Capt. John C. Groome, of the state constabulary, and he had agreed to furnish three state policemen to help look after the crowd on the occasion of the Odd Fellows reunion April 26th, but he suggested that several additional lo- cal men be employed. The matter was referred to the fire and Police committee and assurance given that the visitors would be properly taken care of. A communication was received from the Tyrone borough council stating that J. A. Ginter had been elected a trustee of the Pruner orphanage and H. E. Scott auditor. : A communication was received from Miss Helen E. C. Overton beseeching council’s aid in preventing the desecra- tion of the American flag. She stated that on one occasion she had seen a flag tied to a dog's tail, on another the patri- otic emblem was trampled on the ground and other desecrations. The matter was referred to the borough solic- itor and Fire and Police committee. The Street committee reported prog- ress in the matter of additional street lights on Thomas and Beaver streets. The Fire and Police committee report- ed two slight fires, one on March 8th and one on the 16th. Mr. Flack also report- ed receipt of the burgess’ check for $30.- 00 for fines and licenses and a check of $12.50 for expense of the fire companies at the Chemical Lime company fire. Mr. Flack also brought up the matter of the lighting of the Undine building, but as no definite conclusion could be arrived at the matter was referred to the bor- ough solicitor, Finance and Fire and Po- lice committees for investigation and re- port. Mr. Flack recommended that the customary annual appropriation of $250 be paid each fire company and it was so ordered. Notes for $500 and $1,000 for one year from March 21st; $5,500 for six months from March 27th; $1,200 for one year from March 27th, and $2,000 for one year from March 31st were authorized for renewal after which bills to the amount of $1,097.36 were approved and council adjourned. ——The Centre Brick and Clay com- pany, of Orviston, has been awarded the contract for supplying all the radial brick for the big smoke stack to be erected at the paper mill of the New York and Pennsylvania company in Lock Haven.

While his injuries are not like- ly to prove fatal they will lay him up for some time and may disfigure him to a certain extent. se : ——Two weeks ago Charles E. Lari- mer resigned his position with the Bell Telephone company of Pennsylvania at Johnstown and last week went to work for the Shank Hardware company, of Johnstown, as a traveling salesman. Mr. Larimer has been in some branch of the telephone work ever since he left school and his experience in that line of work, and especially in having come in contact with the public generally for the past fifteen or more years, will be of great benefit to him in his new position. Dd ——After working less than a fortnight following a lay-off of over three months, William H. Iamilton, freight conductor on the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania, fell from the top of a box car on the McCoy & Linn siding last Friday morn- ing, injuring himself so that he has not been able to work since. His fall was occasioned by slipping on some ice on top of the car and while he landed on his feet he fell backwards across one of the rails. Fortunately the train was stand- ing still at the time, else he might have been killed. ee ——Harry J. Mueller, who left Belle- fonte about a year ago to become city forester in Harrisburg, was literally fired from his position on Wednesday of last week by park commissioner E. Z. Gross: Mueller, however, refused to be fired so easily and the next morning was back at his desk as usual and now the matter is up to the city council. There has been friction between Gross and Mueller for some time and the affair came to a head last week when Gross charged Mueller with not working in harmony with the park department. On Monday the city council also “fired”’ Mueller, and then he admitted that he would have to stay put. A BIG CHICKEN HATCHERY.—When one considers the hatching of chickens in the good old way, with a dozen to fourteen eggg under the old mother hen, it is almost incomprehensible and rather astound- ing to see the hatchery of Hockman & Peters, of Mingoville. There, under one roof, they have two immense hot water incubators, each witha capacity of 12,000 eggs, or a total capacity of 24,000 eggs. Last Friday they put in the last install ment of eggs necessary to fill the big in- cubators. On Sunday the first consign- ment of chickens was hatched out, a meagre 3,500 of them. The eggs have been placed in the incubators so that they will come out at regularintervals to permit of handling them easily. The firm is not in the chicken raising business, but merely hatching them for market. They sell readily at $8.00 a hundred when but one day old, and Hock- man & Peters always have a ready mar- ket for all they can hatch. THE BOHEMIAN GIRL.—It is said that it is almost an entirely new “Bohemian Girl” that the Aborn Opera company will present at Garman’s, Tuesday evening, March 28th. Not new as regards its mu- sic as all of the sweet old melodies are eral airs included that were composed especially for the operatic festival of the French Second Empire. The claim to newness for their production, it is said, is based on the lavishness and complete- ness with which they have put it on. Of the innovations there is the gypsy camp in which is seen not only the band of real gypsies but everything else that one would be apt to find in such surround- ings. Then there is the street fair, the Tzigani Troupe of Whirlwind Acrobats, the strong man, sword swallower, snake charmer and educated monkey and in the Marble Halls a beautiful ballet “The Dance of the Hours.” This is one of the largest organizations now touring and numbers among its more important mem- bers Edith Allan, Henry Taylor, Mildred Rogers, Francis Tyler, George W. Duns- tan, Ralph Nicholls, Irma Phillips, P. J. McCarthy, John Willard and others. Prices, 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents, $1.00 and a few at $1.50. ——A county conference of Women’s | retained, but in addition there are sev- Two WELL KNowN CoupPLES CELE- ‘ Phoebe Weber, of Boalsburg.

The dinner, of course, was a sioners and borough council that the | interesting. In fact Scenic programs are ' big feature and relished by every one of the twenty-eight guests present. Mr, ‘and Mrs. Meyer were presented with a and various valuable and useful articles. The life story of Mr. and Mrs. Meyer reads almost like a romance. Following their marriage and a bountiful wedding breakfast they took a honeymoon trip of several weeks, visiting friends in the eastern part of the State. Upon gheir return they were given a hearty recep- tion at the Meyer home at which were gathered a number of their intimate friends. They later went to farming on a farm adjoining the Meyer homestead. After several years they moved onto a farm west of Centre Hall. In 1876 they moved to Boalsburg and a year later onto a farm only a short distance from Boalsburg. Nine years ago they retired from active life, purchased a home in Boalsburg and are now enjoy- ing the evening of their life. During the time the young couple spent on the elder | Meyer homestead Mr. Meyer helped to | haul the stone to build Old Main at State ! College. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer have four chil- ' dren, and six grand-children. The chil- dren are Mrs. W. E. Gettig, who lives in Altoona; George Edwin, at home; Nevin W. and Mrs. W. G. Mothersbaugh, living near Boalsburg. All the children and grand-children were present on Wednes- day except their grand-daughter, Miss Phoebe Gettig, who is a student at Hood College, Frederick, Md. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer are to be con- gratulated in having attained such age and distinction and enjoy such good health. He is eighty-six years old—the oldest man in Boalsburg, and has the best of health. His eyesight is good and he enjoys reading very much. Mrs. Mey- er is seventy years old and while her general health is good she has suffered the past year with an affection of the throat which her physician pronounces incurable. However, she is making the best possible of her condition and is get- ting lots of enjoyment out of her family associations and many acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer have been readers of the WATCHMAN continuously for twenty-six years. Mrs. Meyer first sub- subscribed for it for her son Nevin and it has been a most welcome visitor in ‘their home ever since. Mr. Meyer, by the way, has always been a staunch Democrat and he is anxiously waiting to see President Wilson re-elected. The twenty-eight guests present at the golded wedding were Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Meyer, George E. Meyer, Mrs. W. E. Get- tig, Nellie, Catharine and William Gettig, Henry Gettig, Mr. and Mrs. Nevin W. Meyer and daughter, Rosella May; Mr. and Mrs. W. G Mothersbaugh and son, John Henry; W. C. Meyer and Miss Katharine Weaver, of State College; Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Weber, of Huntingdon; Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Weber and grand- daughter, Mary Weber, of Centre Hall; Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Weber, S. E. Weber, Miss Anna M. Weber, Rev. S. C. Stover, Mrs. Stover, Miss Annie Lohr and Mrs. Emma Riley, all of Boalsburg.; On Thursday of last week Mr. and Mrs. Ephriam K. Keller, of Pleasant Gap, celebrated their golden wedding with a big dinner from 11.30 to 1.30 o'clock, at which sixty-eight of their friends were present. A feature of the gathering was the presence of three couple who have passed their fiftieth anniversary, namely: Mr. and Mrs. Philip Dale, of Oak Hall; Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Keller, of Phoenix- ville, and Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Miller, of Bellefonte, and a peculiar coincidence is that they are all cousins of MrJ4Keller. Mr. and Mrs. Keller received a purse of $40 in gold, Mr. Keller received two gold headed canes and a gold handled um- brella, while both received numerous other gifts. Rev. Courtney, Lutheran minister of Boalsburg, was present and offered prayer and made a short address. Ephriam Keller and Miss Margaret E, Mease, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Martin Mease, were married in Belle- fonte on March 16th, 1866. Practically all their married life has been spent in Spring township. They are the parents of eight children, all of whom are living, namely: Mrs. W. M. Ott, Mrs. D.M. Kline, Mrs. J. M. Garbrick and Mrs. A. D. Smeltzer, all of Bellefonte; M. M. Keller, Centre Hall; D. W. Keller, Phila- delphia; Mrs. Ralpa Noll, Pleasant Gap, ‘and Paul Keller, of Altoona.
