THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY.
—— The annual Thanksgiving market
will be held in Petrikin hall by the la-
dies of the Reformed church Tuesday
and Wednesday of Thanksgiving week.
~——1J. Millard Hartswick has been ap-
pointed a clerk in the Bellefonte post-
office as successor to W. Fred Montgom-
ery, and A. R. Everett has been made a
regular parcel post carrier.
——At their fair and supper on Tues-
day afternoon and evening the Ladies
Aid society of the Methodist church
cleared just $70.00. The money will be
deposited in the general church fund.
——George Kustaborder has been
transferred from Warriorsmark to Belle-
fonte as night watchman at the P. R. R.
station. He will move his family here as
soon as he can secure a suitable house.
——Two big games of football will be
played on the new Hughes field tomor-
row. At 2.30 the Renovo and Bellefonte
High school teams will meet and at 3.30
the Bellefonte Academy and Lewistown
Athletics. These are two games Belle-
fonte rooters should not miss under any
circumstances.
——*“Lady Luxury,” the comic opera
that will appear at Garman’s tonight is
owned by Geo. Wilson, of Tyrone. The
very fact that Mr. Wilson is behind the
company is a guarantee that it will be
first class, for he is a man ot great means
and of such character as to stand for
only the best things.
The election is now a thing of the
past and in settling down to routing busi-
ness once again don’t forget the Scenic.
Manager T. Clayton Brown is still doing
business at the old stand and showing
up-to-date programs of motion pictures
every evening. They are always worth
seeing and cheap amusement at the reg-
ular price of admission.
——Persons who are pledged to con-
tribute to the Womans Needlework
Guild of America, through the Bellefonte
organization, are asked to send their
contributions to the different heads as
promptly as possible. Give liberally of
what you have, as this charity reaches
the poor of the community, the hospital
and the Red Cross of America.
——Saturday of next week is the last
day for filing applications for liquor li-
cense for 1917. Most of the old applica-
tions have already been filed and in ad-
dition ‘the following néw ones: Samuel
Mérkowitz, for a license at Hannah Fur-
nace; Edward I. Gillen, for the Kohlbeck-
er house, Milesburg; J. R. G. Allison, for
the Millheim hotel, and Edwin G. Hen-
derson, for Howard.
: Penn State literally swamped Ge-
neva on Beaver field last Saturday when
they ran up the unprecedented score of
79 to 0 It was the biggest score ever
made on Beaver field, notwithstanding
the fact that the game was played in
rain and mud. Though State has been
defeated once she has scored next to the
highest number of points of any football
team in the east, 297 to 24. Vanderbilt
s ahead with 302 to 0.
——On Wednesday afternoon four
young men from Lock Haven made a
trip to Bellefonte in Dr. Ball’s car, with
the latter's chauffeur as driver. On the
way home they had a tire puncture at
Cedar Springs with the result that .the
car turned over twice. All four men
were thrown out and rendered uncon-
scious. Several of them were badly cut and
bruised. They were given first aid treat-
ment and later removed to the Lock
Haven hospital. !
——Residents of Bellefonte and Cen-
tre county are asked to bear in mind
the fact that Thanksgiving is approach-
ing, the time when it is customary to
make a donation to the Bellefonte hos-
pital. Those who keep in touch with
the good work of this institution will
gladly give what they can at that time
to help along in its good work. And to
those who know nothing about it we can
give assurance that it is not only worthy
but in need of anything you can give.
——Cards have been received in Belle-
fonte announcing the marriage of Miss
Mary Jane Rhinesmith, a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel M. Rhinesmith, of
Clearfield, to McGrover McCorkle, of
Akron, Ohio, but formerly of Clearfield,
the wedding taking place on Wednesday,
November first. The bride is a grand-
daughter of the late Daniel Rhinesmith,
of Benner township, and has many
friends in and about Bellefonte. Imme-
diately after the wedding the young
couple went to Akron, Ohio, where they
will reside at 1019 Leroy avenue.
——On Sunday evening shortly after
dark Harry Garbrick and family, of
Coleville, were coming up the state road
from Lock Haven in an Overland tour-
ing car and at the cross roads at Lamar
they collided with a Ford car driven by
John Slagel, of Fairpoint. Mr. Garbrick’s
Overland suffered to the extent of two
front wheels broken, a broken spring
and bent fenders, while aside from a
bent fender the Ford was not damaged
and when the driver ascertained that
no one in either car was hurt aside from
a shaking up he went trundling on his

coming from the direction of the rail-
road, and this being the open season for
perhaps either Wilson or Hughes were
delighted to find that the Massachusetts
cavalry had entrained and were speeding
on their way north. Is it then any won-
frame of mind, full knowing that the
Massachusetts outfit had only preceded
us to the border by not more than a
week.
the many hundreds of rumors that are
floating now, but knowing the cost of
white paper is so prohibitive, it actually
would be the needless waste of good
American coin.
On Monday of this week we were or-
dered out as per schedule that had been
posted for the entire week, for a mount-
ed inspection of the entire regiment, by
the Colonel and his staff. This having
taken up the entire morning, the inspec-
tion of our quarters, that followed, took
place just about the time that we would,
under ordinary conditions, have been
eating our dinner. Dinners of course
are not allowed to interfere with any
military programs, so by the time mess
was announced it was a hungry mess
that was anxiously awaiting to be served.
Another famious review was booked
for Tuesday and that it was a famous re-
view, cannot be denied. The entire sev-
enth division, including every branch of
the service, even down to Terry Boal’s
machine-gun troop was in line and pa-
raded before the disciplinarian eyes of
Generals Clement and Bell. The day
was a gala one for the onlooker and
quite tedious for the participants, but we
know such affairs cannot be staged every
day and are glad for the change from
the ordinary drill periods. The places
of the First, Third and Tenth regiments,
which have gone home, have been ably
filled by the troops of the North Caroli-
na infantry that recently arrived, and as
a making of history let it be said that it
has been the first time that the soldiers
or the State of North Carolina have
marched together with the fighting hosts
of Pennsylvania, a fact that we are proud
to record. ‘They are’a very sociable and
pleasant lot of chaps, and it’s their lingo
that attracts the most attention. A
very common phrase now heard among
our own outposts is “Whay yo’ goin’,
Boy?”—in imitation of the speech of
these southerners. :
It will be quite surprising for the
many friends of John Sanford, the popu-
lar Academy football star, to learn that
he was transferred from our ranks to
Company H, of the 16th regiment of
infantry. “Gyp’s” only reason was that
he is socially acquainted with the officers
and men of that organization from living
at Ridgway, Pa. We don’t know how he
will like it pussy-footing it around on the
hikes, but nevertheless the fourth sequel
is minus the gentle “Gyp.”
Thursday and Friday were to have
been taken up in a two day’s war ma-
neuvre, with Thursday night out on the
battle-field, but at the last moment it
was decided to make two chapters of
the engagement, thereby solving two
military problems. The first day our
troop, in conjunction with the troops of
the second and third squadrons, the
First, Second and Third North Carolina
infantry and the Third brigade of Penn-
sylvania under the leadership of General
Young, met and decisively defeated the
commands of General Logan, which con-
sisted of the balance of the Pennsyl-
vania regiments and the Eighth U.S.
cavalry. It was some battle but sank
into insignificance to that which fol-
lowed the next day.
We had massed about four miles east
of camp awaiting some news as to the
movements of the enemy from the pa-
trols sent out for that purpose. Word
soon reached the Major that a platoon
of men were about a mile south of us
and were acting as skirmishers in guard-
ing the water hole and wind mill located
at that place. Knowing the ability of
Troop L and its leaders we were desig-
nated as the organization to either put
the enemy to route or take them prison-
ers. No sooner said than done, and
when within about six hundred yards of
them the order was given to charge.
Well, it was some charge. Right into
| the enemy’s line we plunged, so close
that the fire from their guns peppered us
with the powder from their blank car-
tridges. A more daredevil or exciting
charge could not have been made at the
gates of Verdun. Imagine our surprise
after we had been shot to pieces, that be-
ing the cavalryman’s part of a battle,
instead of one platoon as was reported,
we were entrapped by an entire brigade
of about twenty-five hundred men. We
were just naturally taken prisoners and
held until the war was over. As far as
we were concerned we. were satisfied
with the result, as it gave us an opportu-
nity of a battle charge and later were en-
way.

Gettig and Willis Shuey motored to
the Seven Mountains last Friday on a
bird hunt and returned with twelve
pheasants.’ They saw quite a. number
of birds they didr’t: get—of courserit

but because they were too far away to

A distinct falling off in the

Saturday . evening; and yet with a
fewer number of cars one driver care-

was standing near the crossing at the
First National bank and shoved it
back a sufficient distance to bend the
iron post on which the mail box is
fastened about a foot out of plumb.
The rear light on the one machine was
also broken by coming in contact with
the iron post. Aside from that no
material damage was done.
Big Masquerade at High School.
One of the most delightful social
gatherings of the Hallowe’en season
was the big masquerade party and
dance held at the High school build-
ing last Friday evening. The commit-
tee in charge consisted of Misses
Martha Haines, Rebecca Yerger and
Eleanor McSuley, and they were as-
sisted in their arrangement by Miss
Maude C. Baer, a teacher in the High
school. The affzir was very largely
attended and proved a big success so-
cially and financially. The corridors
were elaborately decorated with au-
tumn leaves and Japanese lanterns,
making a very ‘tasteful appearance.
The proceeds, which will be devoted to
the High school athletics, amounted
a little over $27.00.
——Mr. Thaddeus R. Hamilton had al-
most a miraculous escape from death on
Tuesday afternoon in his planing mill in
the rear of his house on Howard street.
He worked all day until about 4.15
o’clock in the evening when he quit and
was in the act of turning the power off
when his clothing caught in the shaft-
ing of the moulding machine and he
was thrown with such force as to break
one of his left ribs and seriously injure
his left shoulder. The only thing that
saved his life was the fact that he was
wearing an old coat and the garment
was torn in two so that he was not
whirled around the shafting. His cries
attracted the attention of a fellow work-
man, who threw off the power and stop-
ped the motor. Mr. Hamilton was able
to walk to the house and call his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Broderick, of State Coliege, on
the telephone, who came down the same
evening. In the meantime his shoulder
swelled quickly and at this writing the
attending physician has not been able to
determine just how badly it is injured.
Mr. Hamilton was eighty-one years. old
in February and will naturaily feel his
injuries more than a young man.
i extent of about seventy-five dollars.
i Mr. Dreese used his barn as a garage
‘and stored therein were his own and his |
| daughters’ automobiles, both of which
! were burned. His total loss is in the
| neighborhood of $3,500, but it is
i practically covered with insurance.
| Mr. Ross’ loss is $600, with $200 insur-
| ance, while Mr. Shuey’s loss is also
! covered by insurance.
i The only explanation of the fire is
| that it was the work of an incendiary.
i Mr. Dreese had been away all day on |
! Monday and neither his nor his daugh-
| ters’ car and been out of the barn that
day. The last person in the building
| was the man who does chores around
the house who carried the porch

o'clock. But he had no light nor fire
about him, so that incendiarism is the
| only explanation.
Fire Near Clarence.
About eight o'clock on Sunday
evening the engine house of Morgan
& Hov, located at the brick works
near Clarence, caught fire in some un-
known manner and burned to the
ground, together with the dinkey en-
gine used by Morgan & Hoy in their
coal mining operations. There were
several barrels of oil in the building
and when they ignited the flames shot
many feet in the air. Fortunately no
other buildings were in close proximi-
ty and the fire died out after the
building and contents were consumed.
The loss, however, to Morgan & Hoy
is considerable and the burning of
their dinkey engine very unfortunate
at this time when they have been
struggling hard to supply the demand
for their coal. The junior member of
the firm is J. Harris Hoy, formerly of
Bellefonte, and his many friends here
sympathize with him in this bit of
hard luck.

Lost in New York.
The attraction which will hold the
theatre going public's attention at Gar-
man’s tomorrow evening, November
11th, is that popular sensational scenic
drama “Lost in New York,” which
abounds in heart throbs, stirring situa-
tions, surprising climaxes, hearty laughs
and a mighty river of real water, which
covers almost the entire stage—this re-
alistic scene has boats sailing around, a
brilliantly illuminated view of the city of
New York in the background, and a hair-
raising finale, which is one of the biggest
sensational climaxes seen on the stage.
Kitty O’Neil, as the heroine, has a most
congenial role, while Leonard Grover,
Jr., lends valuable support. The com-
pany is a large one and thoroughly com-
petent. Prices, 25, 35, 50, and a few at
75 cents.

water, Mich., on Saturday, October 28th.
The affair was arranged by the Ladies’
Aid and St. Agatha’s Guild and was par-
ticipated in by the members of the
church generally. Rev. and Mrs. Hewitt
had with them on that occasion their
two sons, Stafford R. and Charles F.
Hewitt. Rev. and Mrs. Hewitt were
each presented with a purse of fifty dol-
lars in gold. Bountiful refreshments
were served during the evening.

—A number of bets were made in
Bellefonte on the result of the election
but the most unique of all is that of Har-
ry F. McManaway and C. H. Buckius, of
the State Highway Department. Mc-
Manaway is of course an ardent Demo-
crat and Buckius a Republican. If Wil-
son is elected Buckius will have to roll a
peanut from the Diamond down High
street to the railroad with a twenty-foot
pole, and if Hughes is elected McMana-
way will have to do the rolling. The
performance is to start promptly at one
o'clock tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon.
