Doings of the Borough Dads.
Seven members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council
on Monday evening, the absentees be-
ing Messrs. Lyon and Shope.
Burgess Edmund Blanchard was
present and again called the attention
of council to the urgent necessity of
installing some kind of a fire alarm
system. Mr. Walker, president of
council, informed the burgess that
there is now on the way an electric
horn which will be put up on ap-
proval.
The burgess also called attention
to the fact that some kind of a market
ought to be put in the Diamond to aid
in regulating the street traffic. A
marker built of concrete of some neat
design, with a red light for night,
would answer the purpose. The mat-
ter was referred to the Fire and
Police committee.
John Curtin, secretary of the Board
of Health was present and asked for
the annual appropriation of $250. The
same was granted.
Requests were received from the
W. L. Steele heirs, Mrs. B. F. Shaffer
and Mrs. F. P. Michaels for an ad-
justment of water taxes and all were
referred to the Water committee.
Mr. Harris, of the Street committee,
reported that if nothing unforseen
happens the Bishop street sewer will
be completed this week.
The Water committee reported that
Russell Witmer had thawed out the
frozen water pipes at two »laces on
the street with his electric thawer and
that the frozen pipe on Ridge street
had been opened up by the State-
Centre company.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported the burgess’ check for $25.00
for fines and licenses coliected.
The Finance committee presented
the treasurer’s report showing a bal-
ance in the treasury on March 1st
of $8,065.93. He also asked for the
renewal of a note of $1,000 for six
months from March 2nd, one of $1,000
for six months from March 4th, and
one of $700 for six months from
March 4th, all of which were author-
ized.
Mr. Harris stated that the Bell
telephone company wanted to move
their pole line from north St. Paul
street to Thomas street owing to the
close proximity of the high tension
wires of the State-Centre Electric
company, which they claim not only
interferes with the efficiency of their
service but area constant menace in
time of a storm or the accidental
breaking of wire. While no official
action was taken council was opposed
to the moving of the pole line and
suggested that the proper proceeding
would be for the State-Centre com-
pany. to insulate their wires.
‘An ordinance was presented to
council providing for the sale of the
Hoover block, of the E. J. Pruner
estate in Tyrone, to the United States
government for the sum of $18,000,
and a tract of land in Ness county,
Kansas, to N. R. Wilson for $2,400,
the same being presented by the man-
agers and trustees of the Pruner
orphanage. The ordinance passed
first reading.
Dr. Brockerhoff called the attention
of council to the fact that the State-
Centre Electric company had received
almost the maximum amount agreed
upon for pumping water for the cur-
rent year and the secretary was in-
structed to confer with superintendent
H. J. Thompson regarding the matter.
Bills to the amount of $1,683.03
were approved and council adjourned.
There is an ordinance in Bellefonte |
requiring property owners to clean
the snow and ice off of their pave-
ments within twenty-four hours, else
the same will be cleaned by the bor-
ough at the expense of the owner.
During the winter the borough clean-
ed off a number of pavements because
of the delinquency of the owner, and
the Street committee has bills for
this work aggregating about $120.00.
These bills were recently given to the
State-Centre Electric company’s col-
lector to collect and most of the peo-
ple so far approached refuse to set-
tle. These bills are legitimately due
the borough and unless they are paid
liens will promptly be entered against
every property the owner of which
refuses to pay.
— The automatic indoor baseball
which was conducted in a room in the
Bush Arcade the past two months, lit-
erally faded away last week. It at
no time was well patronized and of
late so few people played the game
that it was a continuous loser, and
the proprietor simply packed up and
left for some other town.

ADAIR.—Mrs. John A.
in the Glades,
| with a cold Mrs. Adair came from
being accompanied by her friend and
| pastor, Rev. Mr. Lawrence. She stood
the journey very well but a week or
| so later developed an aggravated at-
| tack of the grip which caused her
| death.
Her maiden name was Susan Fer-
guson Campbell, a daughter of John
and Jane Oliver Campbell, pioneer
settlers in the Glades, where she was
born on January 13th, 1835, hence at
her death was 82 years, 1 month and
16 days old. She received her educa-
tion in the public schools of Ferguson
township and at J acksonville, and
later taught school in both Centre and
Clearfield counties, being among the
most efficient teachers of her day.
Early in life she developed a penchant
for writing and being an ardent mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church and
greatly interested in missionary
work she decided to devote her life to
the cause. Before she completed ar-
rangements to leave this country,
however, she was stricken with an ill-
ness which confined her to bed for
twenty years. Her bright intellect
was unimpaired by her illness and
during that long term of years she
wrote many tracts which were printed
and used in missionary work. She
also wrote the memoirs of her broth-
er, Capt. J. O. Campbell, as published
in the history of the Forty-fifth regi-
ment Pennsylvania volunteers, she be-
ing an honorary member of the sur-
vivors association.
On November 10th, 1901, she was
united in marriage to Rev. J. A.
Adair, a well known Presbyterian
minister of Indiana, and that city had
been her home ever since, though she
made annual visits back to the home
of her childhood. Rev. Adair died on
February 18th, 1907, but surviving
her are two step-sons, Rev. W. C.
Adair, of Bristol, Col., and Prof. Cal-
vin Adair, of Idaho. She also leaves
one sister, Mrs. Eliza McCracken, of
Ferguson township.
Funeral services were held at the
McCracken home at ten o’clock ‘last
Saturday morning. The Rev. Mr.
Lawrence was in charge and was as-
sisted by Rev. R. M. Campbell. Bur-
ial was made in the old cemetery at
Pine Grove Mills, the following acting
as pallbearers: John 0., J. Harry and
Henry McCracken, Elmer Bloom, J.
E.. Peters and James: Oliver.

Double House Burned.
The double house on the road lead-
ing over the hill from north Alleghe-
ny street to Fairview was almost to-
taliy destroyed by fire on Wednesday
morning. The building belonged to
the R. A. Beck estate and was occu-
pied by the families of Tony Cocoa
and Charles Kane. The fire started
in the side occupied by the Cocoa
family, evidently from an over-heated
stove pipe. Both fire companies re-
sponded to a cry for help but the
nearest fire plug is on Curtin street
at the Beaver residence and by the
time the firemen got a line of hose
laid the fire had gained such head-
way that it was impossible to save
the house. :
Neighbors, however, assisted the
occupants of the building in getting
out their belongings so that practical-
ly everything they had was saved.
The building was insured.
