Engineering Company |
Making Good.
That the Abramsen Engineering
company, which took over the Belle-
fonte Engineering company’s plant on
February first, is making good is evi- |
denced from the fact that they have!
one machine completed all but some
shafting they are waiting on and as
soon as it is received the machine will
be ready to ship to Pittsburgh. A sec-
ond machine is also nearing comple-
tion and will be ready to ship a few
days after the first one, while work is |
also under way on two more machines. |
The Bellefonte branch of the
Abramsen Engineering company is
an adjunct of the Abramsen Man-
ufacturing company, of Pittsburgh,
manufacturers of various lines
of machinery. The machines now be-
ing made here are straightening
machines for iron and steel rods.
These machines had formerly been
made for the Abramsen Manufactur-
ing company by other firms but this
winter when they tried to place an or-
der they could not secure a guaran-
teed delivery under eight months. It
was this fact that decided them to
build their own machines and select
the Bellefonte shops as the place to
do it. The fact that they have been
here only two months and have al-
ready practically built two machines
shows the wisdom of their decision.
The machines are built in sizes rang-
ing from three to six tons, according
to the work for which they are de-
sired.
The company now has thirty-two
men employed and this number will
be increased as the exigencies of their
business demands, and the present
outlook is for an industry here as en-
during as it is substantial.
The Thespians Coming.
The Thespians, the dramatic organ-
ization of The Pennsylvania State
College, will present “The Naked
Truth” at the Garman opera house on
Friday evening, April 13th. The
latest vehicle for the efforts of this
group of college actors is an -adapta-
tion with music and dancing of W. S.
Gilbert’s play, “The Palace of Truth,”
and it is the best effort that this
famous organization has presented in
the twenty years of its existence.
The company consists of fifty col-
lege men. There is a cast of eleven,
a large chorus and the Thespian or-
chestra. New costumes, designed by
the Thespians art staff and executed
by Miss Beulah Johnson, add greatly
to the play. Entirely new scenery,
after the style of Urban, Baket and
Reinhardt has been painted for the
production in the Sharpe studios in
Philadelphia. The whole production
has been prepared at a great expense
and is the biggest and best ever.
The scene of the play is laid in a
fairy land of somewhere and in this
land everyone must tell the truth, and
act the truth, although he does not
know that he is doing so. Startling
revelations result between lover and
loved, and husband and wife.
C.Y. Wagner Out of the Milling
Business.
~ °C. Y. Wagner ground his last
grist as lessee of the Brockerhoff mill
at Roopsburg on Tuesday and by to-
morrow evening he will have all his
stock and belongings removed from
‘ the mill. Mr. Wagner had charge of
the Brockerhoff mill just nineteen
years and during that time he not
only ground many thousands of bush-
.els of wheat into flour and corn and
oats into chop but bought and shipped
thousands upon thousands of bushels
of grain to other markets. The flour
he manufactured always found a
ready market and he always enjoyed
the confidence of every man with
whom he had any business dealings.
Just what he will do now has not been
definitely decided. He has in mind the
building of a mill of his own, but his
plans in this respect have not pro-
gressed to that extent where they
can be termed at all definite. So far
as known no new miller has signed
up for the Brockerhoff mill which
leaves G. R. Gamble the only miller in
Bellefonte at the present time.

attend to his business affairs up until | ty Downs,
| the day before his death and retired | hence was almost eighty-three years
Ireland on April 4th, 1834,
that evening with no premonition | old. He came to this country when
that the end was so near. About
eleven o'clock he awoke in an alarm-
! ing condition and before a physician |
! could get to his bedside had passed
away.
He was a son of George W. and
Rachel Barron Meek and was born in
Ferguson township on September 13,
1845. Most of his life was spent there
on the farm that has been in the fam-
ily name for a century and a half and
which he owned and managéd to the
last. His education was acquired at
Dickinson Seminary and the old Acad-
emies at Milton and Pine Grove Mills
and upon the death of his father he
assumed the management of the farm
and continued in agricultural pursuits
until fourteen years ago, when he
built himself a home at State College
and removed to that place. For sev-
eral years there he was engaged in
business with the College Hardware
Co., and erected the building that it
now occupies, but retired after a short
experience and had since given his at-
tention to his farm and other business
interests.
As a farmer in Ferguson township
he was one of the foremost and a man
whose influence and example was be-
yond computation. He was the last of
his generation of the family that at
one time controlled much of the land
of the township; his forebears having
been its pioneer settlers and it took
its name from the family of his great
grandmother, Susan Ferguson. David
George Meek was of the old type of
citizenship; the men who are passing
so frequently today never to be re-
placed; for it seems that we of the
later generations have lost many of
the characteristics that made them
unusual men: Types that were true to |
every conviction, types that exalted
rectitude and cultivated friendliness
and hospitality to the point where
their homes were ever the havens of
the unfortunate.
In 1873 he was married to Emma
Weaver who survives with his one
sister, Mrs. P. Gray Meek, of Belle-
fonte.
Funeral services were conducted at
his late home on Monday morning by
the Rev. J. McKendrie Reiley, of the
Methodist church of which he was an
official member, assisted by the Rev.
Dr. Chas. T. Aikens and Rev. Traub.
Interment was made in the new cem-
etery at Pine Grove Mills.

TOPELT.—The sad news was re-
ceived in Bellefonte on Monday after-
noon of the sudden and unexpected
death of Richard Stuart Topelt, son
of Mr. and Mrs, Frederick William
Topelt, of Brooklyn, N. Y. The child
was seven years old last November,
and its death was caused by mem-
braneous croup.
Mrs. Topelt before her marriage
was Miss Bessie H. Brouse, daugh-
ter of the late R. S. and Mrs. Brouse,
of this place, and none of the family
here knew of the illness of the child
until after his death. Mrs. Brouse
was notified by telephone early in the
afternoon of the serious illness of her
grand-son and she left on the Lehigh-
Pennsylvania train for Tyrone to
catch a train for New York. After
her departure a telegram was receiv-
ed announcing the boy’s death. Burial
was made in Brooklyn. %

fourteen years old and shortly after-
ward located in Centre county, work-
ing as a day laborer for a number of
years and later engaging in farming
in Buffalo Run valley, an occupation
he followed for thirty-five years. Ten
years ago he quit the farm and moved
to Bellefonte purchasing a home on
Penn street where he had since lived.
He was a member of the Catholic
church all his life. In politics he was
a staunch Democrat and always could
be relied upon to stand by his party.
He was a good, substantial citizen in
every way and even though he lived
to four score and three years was so
active until almost his last illness that
he enjoyed an unusually large ac-
quaintanceship.
His wife, who before her marriage
was Miss Marie L. Green, died five
years ago but surviving him are the
following children: Mrs. Catharine
M. Lambert and Thomas J. Clark, of
Baltimore, Md.; Sister M. Wolfried, of
Philadelphia; George A. Clark, of De-
troit, Mich.; Dr. John W. Clark, of
Windber; Maria, Susan and Anastasia
Clark at home. He also leaves one
sister, Mrs. Catharine Fennell, of Ha-
gerstown, Md.

nesday morning by Rev. Father Mec-
Ardle after which burial was made in
the Catholic cemetery.

TAYLOR.—Mrs. Theresa B. Tay-
lor, widow of the late H. Irvin Tay-

o'clock on Monday morning as the re-
sult of a stroke of apoplexy, with
which she was stricken while attend-
ing.to her morning’s work.

and Barbara Gross and was born at
St. Marys on June 21st, 1855, henc2
at her death was 61 years, 9 months
land 5 days old. When a girl her |

December 17th, 1871, she was married
to Mr. Taylor at Milesburg by Rev.
Mr. Cleaver. Her husband died last
November but surviving her are three
sons, namely: Harry C. and Curtin

MILLER.—Thomas Miller, a son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Miller, of Salona,
died in Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednes-
day of last week of heart trouble,
aged thirty-six years. He was born
and raised at Salona but had been in
Cleveland the past eight years, being
in the employ of the Bishop & Bab-
cock company, manufacturers of soda
fountains. He was unmarried but is
survived by his parents and two sis-
ters, Mrs. James Tate, of Salona, and
Miss Anna Miller, a professional
nurse of Bellefonte. The remains
were taken to Salona on Friday and
burial made in the Ceader Hill ceme-
tery on Saturday afternoon.
——Quite a strong wind prevailed
here on Wednesday afternoon and
anyone who doubts this statement
can get proof by asking Henry Tay-
lor, the mail delivery man. He was
coming down town between four and
five o'clock with the mail for the 4.50
train west and as he was crossing
High street bridge the wind blew a
parcel post package out of his wagon
and off the bridge into Spring creek.
Mr. Taylor might never have known
what became of the package had not
some passerby seen the occurrence
and notified him. Of course there was
the usual crowd of volunteers and
with a fishing rod the box was towed
to the edge of the stream and rescued.
It proved to be a box containing a
new spring hat of pink straw con-
signed to a customer of a local milli-
ner. The box was half full of water
when it was fished out, but the hat
went on its way looking pert as if it
hadn’t had the premature bath.
—— The locomotive hauling the
Lewisburg passenger train on Tues-
day morning broke down at Coburn
and it was necessary to secure anoth-
er one from Sunbury to pull the train
to Bellefonte, the result being that
it was after twelve o'clock when it
arrived here.
——Elliot and Fred Lane have tak-
en the agency for the Velie car and
this week received a new five passen-
ger one to demonstrate.

A. 2. Stevens Estate Worth Over a
Million. |
The appraisers of the estate of the |
late A. A. Stevens, of Tyrone, who
died on January first, filed their ac- |
count in Hollidaysburg on Monday
and it shows the estate to be worth
approximately $1,123,740.88. -
Summarizing the appraisement
which sets forth specifically the value
of each item of property in the estate,
it is found that Mr. Stevens died pos- |
sessed of the following:

Probably the most interesting item |
in the list is the valuation of the |
property of the Tyrone Gas and Wa-
ter company which Mr. Stevens con-
trolled. From exhaustive physical!
valuation, consideration of the reven- |
ue of the plant, etc. the appraisers
fixed upon $220,000 as the value of |
the total stock of the company. In
addition, there is an issue of $35,000
ed. The total stock of the Tyrone Gas
and Water company consists of 4,000
shares of $25 par value each. The ap-
praisement in this estate places the
each. Mr. Stevens owned nearly all
the stock, his holdings being 3,955
shares, the appraisement of which
was $217,580.
The appraisement also involved a
valuation of the property of the
American Lime and Stone company,
of which Mr. Stevens was vice presi-
dent and general manager. This
property was valued as worth a mil-
lion dollars. Mr. Stevens’ stock inter-
est in the company is appraised as
worth $237,510. He also owned a sub-
stantial block of the bonds of the com-
pany. Among other stocks included
in the estate the most considerable
was Mr. Stevens’ ownership of 509
shares of the preferred stock of the
United States Steel corporation. The
amounts to
$57,500.
Centre County Y. W. C. A. Notes.
The Howard branch is preparing to
make compresses for the aid of the
Red Cross. Old gloves will be collect-
ed and sent to the Red Cross head-
quarters for use as linings.
The Junior club at Snow Shoe has
taken up the study of botany. Both
the older and younger girls of that
place will enter the tomato growing
contest.
The Junior club at Lemont will
hereafter meet on Wednesdays in-
stead of Saturdays. Miss Mary Swain,
of State College, is acting leader for
the present.
The girl’s vocational conference will
be held at the High school building,
Bellefonte, some Friday after Easter,
the exact date to be announced later.
Among the subjects to be discussed
will be teaching, nursing, business,
college and home making. All young
women and girls are welcome to this
conference, and no charge will be
made.
If you want a vacation this summer
which will be both restful and helpful,
and give you lots to think about all
year, plan to go to Eagles Mere at the
time of the student and county con-
ference June 26th to July 6th. High
school girls should plan to go to the
High school council at Camp Nepah-
win, July 11th to 18th.
The poem this week is from the
modern reader’s bible, the nineteenth
Psalm. If you do not have a copy
send to the secretary for one.
— Governor Brumbaugh has
named Dr. E. E. Sparks, president of
The Pennsylvania State College, and
Theodore Davis Boal as the Centre
county representatives on his pre-
paredness committee of two hundred
and fifty men appointed throughout
the State. Both men have accepted
the obligation and two better men
could not have been selected. Dr.
Sparks has back of him three thous-
and students at the College, all of
whom have served in the cadet battal-
jon and therefore have syme very
good military training, while Lieut.
Boal has his mounted machine gun
troop which served on the Mexican
border and which he has kept in drill
ever since returning home. So that
we have confidence to believe that the
chairman of the committee, Mr.
George Wharton Pepper will get more
real ginger from the Centre county
representation’ than from any other
section of the State.

—— The last basket ball game of
the season will take place in the Y. M.
C. A. gymnasium tomorrow (Satur-
day) evening between the Bellefonte
High school girls and the girls team
from the Renovo High school. Game
will be called at 8.15 o’clock and the
admission price will be 25 cents for
adults and 15 cents for children. Belle
fonte basket ball fans are urged to
turn out and see this game. It will
be your last opportunity this season
and the most important argument is
that the girls need the money.
Annual Session of Methodist Con-
ference. !
The forty-ninth annual session of |
of the Methodist Episcopal church was |
held at Lewistown the past week and
proved a most interesting gathering.
Very few of the 294 ministers in the
conference were absent and those few
were detained for cause. |
Among the items of interest to
readers of this paper was the an-
nouncement that the late A. A. Ste-
vens, of Tyrone, had given $11,500 to
the conference association.
District superintendent S. B. Evans,
of the Altoona district, had the fol-
lowing to say about Centre county |
churches:
Gray’s church, Half Moon charge, |
was frescoed and this, with other im- |
provements, cost $628. All bills were |
promptly paid. Snow Shoe charge |
has new furnaces in the church and
$525. All paid but $143. The church |
at Clarence on the same charge has
' new electric light. Milesburg’s new |
furnace in cement cellar makes the
parsonage very comfortable. Memo-
rial windows in the basement of the
Unionville church are a fine improve-
ment. The outlay on this charge was |
$650 and W. A. Lepley had cash in|
hand to pay all bills. The church at |
Millheim on the Pennsvalley charge i
was painted at a cost of $100 and a
new piano installed. All bills paid. |
Among the successful revivals the |
Howard church reported 92, State Col- |
lege 44, Philipsburg 38, Port Matilda |
36, Pennsvalley 24 and Snow Shoe 20.
The district superintendent also |
called attention to the fact that a!
country church conference will be con- ;
ducted in connection with the summer
school at State College. The time is |
July 10 to 20, inclusive. The entire |
cost, including board and room, is es- |
timated to not exceed fifteen dollars. |
This will be a great opportunity for |
preachers and lay members who can |
find a way to spend ten days at the |
college. The college pays the instrue- |
tors. For information write Dr. E. R. |
Smith, director of the summer session
for teachers, State College, Pa. |
At Saturday morning’s session of
conference -both Milton and Newberry
extended invitations to the conference |
