What might have been a very destruc- tive fire occurred in Zeller’s drug store in Crider’s Exchange about midnight, on Sunday night, and it was only the prompt response of the firemen that saved it from spreading. As it is, prac- tically everything in the prescription room of the drug store was ruined and much of the stock in the front room was I feel alittle fussed just at this moment {and a Woman.” Six big vaudeville acts damaged by heat and smoke. and I can hardly admit that I am in the humor for writing my weekly letter, simply because I put in an application for a furlough and have just received word from headquarters that it has been acted upon favorably, and according to my dope and plans I expect to be back among real people just about the time this letter is published. It seems almost imposible and too good to be true, but I actually expect to be in Bellefonte in real short order. I suppose I wouldn’t have thought of this proposition at all, had it not been for mess Sergeant Fromm, of State College, who applied about three weeks ago and has his papers in his possession. The idea struck me as a thunderbolt and now I expect to accompany the Sergeant on his trip to Centre county. Last Sunday we had our first inspec- tion of the squad tents and it was some- thing out of the ordinary. It doesn’t take as much time individually, as the entire squad working together can put a tent of that kind in shape in no time at all. After a wait of almost seven weeks the troop was finally paid last Monday, but it is almost needless to say that the majority of the pay merely changed hands, as it was spent for canteen books long before pay day, although a promise for the next money day has been made for next week, so it won’t be so bad then. An innovation took place on Wednes - day when the entire regiment was put under the charge of the non-commis- sioned officers, who conducted the ma- neuvres of the troops, while the colonel, majors, captains and lieutenants acted as reviewing officers. That we pulled one over on the officers was admitted by all, as the colonel just beamed with satis- faction when the captains again took charge of their commands. Troop L is in luck again, although we couldn’t see just where it came in. We were on guard duty Thanksgiving day while all the the other troops enjoyed a holiday. Lieut. Taylor was officer of the day and Lieut. Smith officer of the guard. We didn’t do any complaining as there was no detail work to do. The best part of it was that although the other troops had their Thanksgiving feast at noon, ours didn’t take place until the evening meal, and it surely was some feast. I can’t begin to name the diffierent courses, but some idea can be had, when you take into considera- tion the appetites we have, that not a man thought he would be able to do justice to a second helping. That cook Whiteman lived up to his enviable record was acclaimed by all, and we now hope he will put those pineapples away some place where they won’t require a guard to watch over them. We tried a new stunt on Friday. That was to walk, trot and gallop our horses a certain distance in a given time. Time- keepers were placed at the start and the finish, and it proved quite a novel experience, as well as a drill out of the ordinary. We have just come in from representing our squadron in the field-day meet, in the riding contest, and although we were accorded second honors, it seems a wonderful feat to us, as our contenders were the First City troop of the first squadron and Sheridan troop of the second squadron. The preliminary tests were held last week and we won the right to represent the third squadron. At the time Troop I, of Sunbury, dis- puted the decision, and as they have always been our strongest rivals, we rode against them again this morning before the finals when we again proved our superiority. Being beaten for first honors by the First City troop, which by the way, is one hundred and forty-two years old as an organization, it was quite some honor and we can boast of the sec- ond best riding squad in the regiment. It was composed of Sergeants Saxion, Schreffler, Fromm, Decker and Deering; Corporals Cohen, Howard, Storch and Gordon; veterinary Casper and privates Shank and Norris. This afternoon the boys nearly all are at Fort Bliss attending a sale of con- demned government property and at the latest reports it is understood that Lieut. Boal bought nearly all of the post locker- trunks for the use of his men. This is about all now, expecting to be home in the next few days and give you the personal regards of all the boys here, who I assure you are all enjoying the best of health. ——Friends of Miss Ruth Altenderfer will doubtless be interested to learn that she played in a recital given recently in the auditorium of t'e Combs Conserva- tory of Music, Philadelphia. Miss Alten- derfer’s rendition of Chopin’s “Waltz in E Minor” justifies the belief of her friends and admirers that she is destined to suc- ceed in her chosen profession. She is studying the piano under the personal supervision of Gilbert Reynolds Combs, founder and director of the institution, and is expected to appear in several other recitals daring the season. i will be given the same night. Prices, 10, | 20 and 30 cents. Seats at Parrish’s. a | ——Gehret & Lambert were last week | awarded the contract for rebuilding the ' Hyde City steel mills, which a few days i previous were taken over by a company | headed by Dr. C. F. Hennig, of Belle- fonte. Rhoads and Knisely secured the contract for the concrete work. Both contracts run away up in the thousands of dollars and work is to be begun at once. ——The new retorts for the Bellefonte gas plant have arrived and will be put in place at once; at least we hope they will be in soon so as to obviate the strenuous times we have had the past few weeks picking type to get out the “Watchman” while our valuable typeset- ting machines stand idle for want of gas to melt the metal from which the slugs are cast. El ——On Monday the Public Service Commission at Harrisburg handed down a decision in the case of the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania against the Emerick Motor Bus company to restrain them in their passenger carrying service between Bellefonte and Lock Haven, in which the application was refused and a certificate of public convenience issued to the defendant company. ——The Pittsburgh Chamber of Com- merce has decided to investigate the charges that food supplies have been al- lowed to decay and then dumped by Pittsburgh merchants with the object of holding up the prices to consumers. Shippers of farm products to that city, dealers and consumers who have any just complaint to make should communi- cate with the Chamber of Commerce, Keenan building, Liberty avenue, Pitts- burgh. ——While the Penn State foot ball team went down to a big defeat before Pitt on Thanksgiving day, the score be- ing 31 to 0, there is consolation in the belief that no other team in the country could have overcome the Warner ma- chine as it worked that day. State was simply overwhelmed by a powerful organ- ization of brawn and muscle, coached to the minute in perfect team work, and there is no humiliation in being over- come by a stronger antagonist. And even in the face of defeat State’s follow- ers stood by her most loyally. -——— Persons in Bellefonte and through- out the county, having forgotten to make their contributions to the hospital Thanksgiving donation, are asked to send it as a Christmas offering. While the appeal for money or food was re- sponded to most generously last week, yet there are individuals and organiza- tions enough in this rich county of ours, if each would give according to their means, to supply this institution with the greater part of its groceries and veg- etables. If you did not give at Thanks- giving do not neglect to make this offer- ing at Christmas. It is a worthy charity. *oe ——1In these days of marriage licenses and various other restrictions it is rather difficult to get married in Pennsylvania and keep the marriage secret any length of time, but Lester A. Zindel, of Lock Haven, and Miss Mary Alice Emerick, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Emer- ick, of Nittany, managed to keep their marriage a secret for six months. The young people were married in Harris- burg on June 3rd, by Rev. S. W. Her- man, of the Zion Lutheran church, and announcement of the fact was not made until Thanksgiving day, when the bride- groom’s parents gave a big dinner and the young people announced their mar- riage. The bride is an attractive and accomplished young woman while the bridegroom is book-keeper for the Clark Printing and Manufacturing company, of Lock Haven. For the present they will reside with the bridegroom’s par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Zindel, of Lock Haven. Filling the Jury Wheel. On Monday jury commissioners John D. Decker and Joseph A. Emerick, with H. W. Irwin as clerk, started their work of filling the jury wheel for the year 1917. The law requires that 650 names of good, reputable voters of the county be placed in the wheel and efforts are always made to evade putting in the names of men who have served on juries during the past year. To do this it is necessary to check up the list of those drawn with the list put in the wheel a year ago. It is also necessary to go over the old list closely and check off the names of all who have died during the year or moved away. Any or all of the others can be returned to the wheel, or discarded, at the discretion of the commissioners. In filling the wheel care must be taken to see that every part of the county gets its proper representation, and politics must not be permitted to cut any figure with the selection of the names. Ordinarily it takes about a month to complete the work. The origin of the fire is a complete mystery. Mr. Zeller went to the store ‘after returning from church and was there until after ten o’clock. He had no fire of any kind and went home with a feeling that everything was secure. Just about midnight Mr. Bailey, who works for William P. Humes, was on his way home and in passing the Zeller store saw fire and smoke therein. He at once gave the alarm and sent another man to call Mr. Zeller. In the meantime the firemen responded and it was only a | short time until a stream of water was ; brought into play. In the meantime the flames had gained considerable head- ' way on the furnishings and interior | woodwork but it did not take long to i check them. The fire, however, was not | entirely extinguished until a hole had | been burned through the ceiling and sec- i ond floor into the Democratic headquar- ters. The heat was so intense that most of loose while one of the big front windows was cracked. Itmay be a week before Mr. Zeller will be able to exactly deter- an inventory of his stock last week, so when an appraisement of the stock in its present condition is taken it will not be difficult to determine his loss. event, however, it will be considerable surance. “Watchman” to express his thanks to the firemen for their prompt response and very efficient service during and after the fire. They not only extinguish- ed the flames but assisted him in getting the water out of the front part of the store, thus averting greater damage. Comparatively few people in Bellefonte outside of the vicinity of the fire and the fire houses knew there was a fire until Monday morning, and this more than anything else emphasizes the need of some kind of an adequate fire alarm. Many of the business and professional people of Bellefonte live blocks away from their place of business or offices and under present conditions could be entirely burned out without knowing anything about it. It is a rather com- plex question to solve with no high pres- sure boilers in operation day and night but an adequate alarm is something very much needed in the town. Big Cave-in at Limestone Quarry. A year or two ago Charles Morris, who in the old quarry and then opened an underground quarry, drifting northeast | from the shaft. The quarry is equipped i with an underground railroad, lighted with electricity, etc. On Wednesday | afternoon about two o'clock the work- ' men heard a cracking sound in the roof | of the drift and at the second warning they all got out. About twenty minutes later there was a crash and hundreds of |! tons of limestone and dirt caved in where shortly before the men were work- ing. The cave-in occurred at a point where there was an old fill in the quarry and the depth of the roof was not thick enough to sustain the weight. The cave- in will be cleaned out and then the shaft sunk to a still greater depth so that there will be an ample layer of stone as a protecting roof. The fortunate thing about the whole occurrence is that all the men got safely out and there were no casualties. Pleads Guilty to Arson. Joseph P. Coudriet, of Morris town- ship, Clearfield county, who was arrested and brought to the Centre county jail | two weeks ago on suspicion of having | had something to do with starting the | fires in Philipsburg, last Friday confessed | to having compelled his son Roy to set fire to his home near Wallaceton over a year ago, burning it to the ground. Later he collected $650.00 insurance on the same. Coudriet has been turned over to the Clearfield county authorities, and having plead guilty, will be sentenc- ed by Judge Bell. The man has already served a term in the penitentiary for forgery. The Centre county authorities will not renounce the charges they have against him, and it is possible that when his term in the penitentiary expires he will be re-arrested.
