Another Big Building to be Erected and Smelting Room to be En- larged. At a meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Titan Metal company, held in this place on Monday it was decided to enlarge their plant at Milesburg by the erection of another large building adjoining the present plant on the north. To do this a concrete retaining wall will be built from the end of the present wall down to the concrete bridge across Spring creek. The building to be erected will be 89x84 feet in size. It will be seven- teen feet high to the sills and will be of structural steel and hollow tile The contract for the concrete work was given to Rhoads & Knisely, Ho- ratio S. Moore will furnish the struc- tural steel and Gehret & Lambert have the contract for the carpenter work. The building is to be complet- ed in six weeks, barring accidents. In the new building will be locat- ed a recovery plant for the smelting of borings and turnings and the re- covery of the metal from slag. This will take up about one-third of the space. The balance of the building will be devoted to a complete cold working plant, such as drawing, grinding, straightening and polish- ing. An addition of fourteen feet will be built on the east and west ends of the present smelting room, which will increase its size at least one-half. This is being done for the purpose of installing a new open hearth plant, a scrap melting fur- nace and a zinc retort. All this ma- chinery will be built along plans de- vised by Dr. Hennig and others. All the castings will be made by the Bellefonte Engineering company, the structural iron and steel by H. S. Moore while the mechanical work will be done in the Titan company’s own machine shop. The company estimates that when the new plant is fully installed they will be able to recover much of the metal that now goes to waste. In other words, their average waste now is about five per cent. and they expect to reduce this to less than one per cent. Consider- ing the present cost of the material which enters into the make-up of Ti- tan metal this means considerable in dollars and cents. The entire cost of the improvements planned will ag- gregate from $25,000 to $30,000. The editor of the “Watchman” made a visit to the plant on Wednes- day and .was very courteously shown all through it by superintend- ent W. P. Seig and Dr. C. F. Hennig. Everybody was as busy as nailers and every department running to full capacity. The company has or- ders to keep it busy for weeks and months and every day receives in- quiries regarding some special de- sign or work. That the plant will continue to grow in the future is an assured thing and the “Watchman” wishes it all the success possible. Child Dies from Burns. Ralph Durkee, the five year old son of postmaster and Mrs. William Durkee, of Pleasant Gap, died at the Bellefonte hospital about 4.30 o’clock on Wednesday morning from burns received on Tuesday morning. When the family got up Tues- day morning Ralph was asleep and left in bed. The child awoke shortly thereafter and getting out of bed found a box of safety matches. From all appearances he had lighted and burned almost the entire box be- fore he accidentally set fire to his night dress. Hearing the child’s cries of agony Mrs. Durkee ran upstairs and tore the burning garment off of the boy, but not be‘ore he was ter- ribly burned . and she, herself, was badly burned on the hands and arms. The boy was brought to the hospital on Wednesday morning. The parents and four sisters survive. The funeral will be held this after- noon. Rev. McKetchnie will officiate and burial be made in the Pleasant Gap cemetery. To Celebrate the Fourth. The suggestion made by the G. A.

Among the men acgept- ed is Robert A. Hoy, of Bellefonte, who will be sent to the Clearfield station. ——1In these days of the uncer- tainty of war with Mexico everybody {is naturally wrought to a high ner- _vous tension and any means of even a temporary relaxation is welcome. The Scenic offers the very medium jneeded. There the mind is diverted from the every day questions of'Tife by watching the interesting pro- | grams of moving pictures, and for an hour or two one is able to enjoy the varied phases of human life as pictured upon the screen. Then again, as fast as moving pictures of happenings in the Mexican affair are produced they will be shown at ‘the Scenic. Therefore, don’t miss anything. 1 —Judge Henry C. Quigley, _county treasurer David Chambers and Henry Kline spent part of Tues- day and Tuesday night at James C. : Furst’s fishing camp on Fishing creek. The men fished late in the evening and Mr. Kline was the first to return to camp. As he did so he saw something traveling through the brush which he first thought was a man, but on close examination he saw it was a bear. Returning to that just shortly before his arrival he heard something in the rear of the tent and going out surprised a bear trying to get through the wire fence. Mr. ‘Bruin was evidently hunting something good to eat. Train Dispatching by Telephone. The telephone train dispatching sys- tem on the Bellefonte branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, be- tween Bellefonte and Montandon, has been placed in service. This is the first portion of the Williamsport di- vision to be changed from telegraph to telephone operation. The tele- phone . circuit extends from “DR” tower, near Montandon to “DF” tower, Bellefonte, with connection at all immediate offices where train operation is handled. The train dis- patcher is located at Lewisburg pas- senger station. a Each tower is equipped with two telephones, so as to avoid the possi- bility of any office being without means of communication. The lines are arranged at the various block towers, so that any employee calling up from an outlying telephone may obtain direct communication with the train dispatcher. This arrangement is desirable, in order to give the dis- patcher first hand information from points on the road, where telephones are located, when occasion requires. The dispatchers’ wire is so arranged that any office may be called indi- vidually by: means of a bell. The dispatcher knows when a call is be- ing given at one office, since a slight “tone” in the telephone receiver in- dicates that the bell is ringing.

John Blanchard Esq., rep- resented the plaintiff and Hon. Ellis L. Orvis the defendant company. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Quigley made a rule requiring the defendant company to file addi- tional affidavits of defense within fifteen days or judgment would -- be entered for the plaintiff. Argument was also made in the case of Peter W. Rouss, trading as Charles Broadway Rouss, vs. J. S. Gilliam, a petition to change the character of an action .from a writ of trespass to a writ of assumpsit. On March 25th the plaintiff seized the store of J. S. Gilliam, in this place, on an action in trespass to re- 711. Two weeks later the above ac- tion was withdrawn and a new action brought under a writ of assumpsit. The . defendant objected, however, and argument was held on the case. Hon, Ellis L. Orvis represented the plaintiff and N. B. Spangler Esq., the defendant. At the conclusion of the argument Judge Quigley granted the plaintiff the right to bring a new ac- tion upon the payment of all the costs, which amount to about $250.00. Two Electrocuted.

We laughed at our fears, As we joined in the cheers, We smiled through a curtain of Pain. We bade them “Good Bye,” With a tear bedimmed eye, As the band played a parting refrain. Oh, the sad hearts that bled, And the tears that were shed, -- - As we waved them a fond farewell; Came the thought, “What a Price! What a dear sacrifice! Honor asked of the Boys of Troop L.” Our beloved ones Brave, To Old Glory we gave, When stern Duty sounded the “call.” Yet our sorrows we bore, Like our fathers of yore, And sadly we smiled through it all. So here’s to Troop “L,” The lads we love well, They will always be loyal and true. They will ever stand by Ever ready to die, For the Land of the “Red, White and Blue.” ” POO ——Midsummer White sale at Newman’s Shop. 26-1t Bellefonte Produce Markets. Corrected weekly by.R. S.
