Judge Orvis Buys Steam Heating
Plant at Sheriff’s Sale.
The entire plant of the Bellefonte
Gas and Steam Heating company was
sold at sheriff’s sale on Monday after-
noon and was bought in by ex-Judge
Ellis L. Orvis, one of the former own-
ers, for $16,100. Before knocking the
property down to Judge Orvis, how-
ever, sheriff Yarnell gave written no-
* tice of an adjournment of the sale un-
. til nine o’clock Saturday morning,
September 23rd; provided, however,
that if said Ellis L. Orvis, the pur-
chaser, would make good his bid of
$16,100 either in cash or a certified
check before Satvrday morning the
sale would be made absolute. Failing
to do so the property would a~ain
be put up for sale on Saturday morn-
ing and will then be knocked down to
the highest bidder who can immedi-
ately at the closé of sale pay thé®price
- bid either in cash or a certified check.
When the sheriff read the above
notice Judge Orvis characterized the
proceedings as unusual and outra-
geous, but no change was made in the
procedure.
~ On Wednesday evening Col. H. S.
Taylor gave Sheriff Yarnell a certi-
fied check for the fuli amount, $16,-
100, so that thus the sale became
absolute. The only thing now to do
is a proper distribution of the funds.
Naturally the costs will be the first
“item * to come out of the purchase
money, then the liens and the balance
will be distributed pro rata among
the bondholders, and inasmuch as
Judge Orvis and Col. Taylor now hold
the bulk of the bonds most of the
meney will revert to them.
Now that the much mooted ques-
tion of the sale of the plant has prac--
tically been settled the company will
be reorganized under the name of the
Bellefonte Light and Heat company,
application for a change of name hav-
ing already been made to the Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth. The
local’ men interested are Col. H. S.
Taylor, ex-Judge Ellis L. Orvis and
W. D. Zerby, and with them will be
associated reveral capitalists out of
town. . It is their intention to give
Beilefonte a gas and steam heating
plant as good as any in the country,
and their plans are to spend $25,000
in improvements this fall. The gas
plant ‘will be rebuilt to a capacity of
60,000 feet a day, against the 20,000
it is able to produce now. It will also
be built on plans providing for doab-
ling that capacity if recessnrv.
Larger gas mains will be put down
where necessary and pipes laid on
streets that are not now equipped
with gas.
So far as the steam heating plant
is concerned a new battery of two 200
horse power boilers will be installed
and the plant otherwise put in shape
to furnish the citizens of Bellefonte
all the heat required during the com-
ing winter, regardless of how cold
the weather may be. Next summer it
is planned to tear down the present
dilapidated building and erect either
a brick or hollow tile building large
enough to house the entire plant. A
brick wall will also be erected around
the entire property and the entire
surroundings put in a better and more
respectable condition.
Such are the present plans of the
company and if they are carried out
in detail there isn’t 2 man or woman
in Bellefonte who will not wish them
success.

A Hard Luck Streak.
~ The Tyrone correspondent of the
Altoona “Tribune” on Tuesday sent
the following story to his paper, and
every reader of the “Watchman” will
agree that Henry had a real streak
of hard luck:
“Henry Weaver, who is employed
on one of the ‘Williams’ farms in
Bald Eagle valley came to Tyrone to-
day with a wagon load of apples and
pears and a hard luck story that is
hard to beat. Henry stated that back
.in the mountains some cf the farmers
don’t know ‘one day from another and
the work goes merrily on the week
round. On Sunday afternoon he de-
cided to pick some pears fron: a large
tree and in so doing broke off a large
limb accidentally, which compelled
i him to descend to old Mother Earth
like a man in a burst parachute. In
his rapid trip down he passed through
the roof of a hog pen underneath and
alighted on the back of a big porker,
which was injurec so badly that it
died that night. Fortunately for him,
the pen was covered with tar paper
with the sustaining boards about
twenty inches apart. He slid grace-
fully between them and was practic-
ally uninjured.
A colt in the barn yard adjoining
took fright at the racket and jumped
the fence, plunging into a clothes
line, one end of which was fastened
to a post, which was hurled through
the kitchen window taking sash and
all with it and narrowly missed the
baby sitting in a high chair. The now
frantic colt leaped another fence and
in its endeavor to put some distance
behind it attempted to pass through a
barb wire fence. It was badly lacer-
ated about the legs and breast. When
the veterinarian came next morning
to sew up the cuts he ran over Mr.
Weaver’s dog, which had to be shot.
It is hoped that no one will choke to
death on those pears.
Bellefonte Academy Reception.
The Bellefonte Academy opened on
Tuesday with a good attendance and
there are still a few students to enroll.
When all have enrolled it will give
the Academy the largest student body
it has ever had.
The annual reception for the new
students will be held this (Friday)
evening, beginnirg at eight o’clock.
The Academy building will be elabor-
ately decorated, exactly as it was dur-
Christy Smith’s
full orchestra will give a concert on
the porch under the colurans for one
hour, beginning at eight o’clock, and
will later play for the dance in the
assembly hall. No invitations will be
issued but the public in general, and
especially all friends of the Academy,
are cordially invited to attend.
To be Retried Next Week.
Irvin Robinson, Richard Langdon
and Dobbin McGarvin, the three men
who were convicted of manslaughter
at the September term of court a year
ago for being imrlicated in the death
of Henry M. Confer at Orviston, will
be retried next week, Judge Johnson
having granted their application for
a new trial. Their case will be the
first one called on Monday and as the
quarter session list is a long one there
is every likelihood of a full week of
court.
——About eleven o'clock last
Thursday morning Mrs. Amanda Mil-
ler, who conducts a boarding house in
Madisonburg, had occasion to go to
a neighbor’s house and while she was
absent some unknown person entered
her house and stole fifty dollars in
éash.’ i"

back part of the head. Runkle had |
evidently been contemplating self-de-
struction for some time, as two weeks
father wanted to buy him a new suit
of clothes but he told him not to do
so then but to wait awhile.
When the body was found Mr. Run-
kle was at church and a messenger
was sent to tell him that news of
Ralph had been received. He was not
told, however, that his son was dead
until he was on his way home. Mrs.
Runkle has not been in good health
for some time and the blow to her has
been unusuzlly severe, especially as
Ralph was the youngest of the fami-
ly. His survivors -are his parents and
three brothers, Lawrence. of Centre
i Hall; Morris, whose present residence
is unknown, and Wilbur, at home.
| Owing to the condition of the remains
! burial was made in the Tusseyville
cemetery just as soon as arrange-
ments could be made on Sunday
afternoon. Public funeral services
were held in the Lutheran church at
Centre Hall at ten o’clock on Tuesday
morning, Rev. Kurtz officiating.
As stated last week young Runkle
was infatuated with a pretty young
school teacher, of Madisonburg, who
winter before last taught the Tussey-
ville school. Some time ago she told
him that she did not care for his com-
pany and all his efforts to induce her
to reconsider her decision were una-
vailing. On Friday, September Rth,
he wrote her a letter enclosing his
photograph and telling her that if she
persisted in her refusal the following
Tuesday would be his last day on
earth. He went to Meiss’s store at
Colyer, mailed the letter then pur-
chared a shirt and seven 22 calibre
cartridges. That night he disappear-
ed from home.
When the school teacher got the
letter written by Runkle she notified
Emmet Jordan, who lives near Tus-
seyville, of the ccntents of the same.
Mr. Jordan notified Runkle’s parents
and all last week searching parties
scoured the countryside on a hunt for
the missing man. The place where
the body was found on Sunday is over
a mile from the Runkle home and
rather secluded and had it not been
for the turkey buzzards on Sunday
the body might have lain there indefi-
nitely.
In justice to the young lady whose
name has been connected with this
unfortunate occurrence, it can be stat-
ed on authority that she is in no
way to blame. The writer has per-
sonally investigated the matter
and while the young man may
have been’ infatuated with the
girl, as be might have been with
any girl, it was without any encour-
agement whatever on her part. In
fact she never at any time accepted
his attentions.—Ed.

C. Quigley handed down a decision in
the case of the W. T. Rawleigh Meri-
cal Co., a corporation, vs. Ray Alli-
son, of Howard, which was rather
nnique as court decisions go. The
case was brought to recover $343.00
on a contract to sell patent medicines
It was tried at the February term of
court, and was the last case, by the
way, argued by the late Col. D. F.
Fortney. After hearing the evidence
the jury returned a verdict for the
defendant. Col. Fortney represented
the Medical company and he at once
applied for a rew trial =nd at the .
same time asked that the verdict be
set aside and judgment entered for
the plaintiff, and the latter is what
the court did in his decree this week.
