Interesting Session of Borough Coun-
cil.
Seven members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council
on Monday evening, the absentees be-
ing Dr. Brockerhoff and W. A. Lyon.
Edward H. Richard was present and
asked for an extension of the water
from Howard street up Decatur alley
to the rear of his lot to furnish water
for a garage he is going to erect.
The matter was referred to the Water
committee with power to act.
A written communication was re-
ceived from E. Norris Bogle in which
that gentleman claimed to have paid
a portion of his water tax for the last
quarter of 1916, but as he is evidently
mistaken the secretary was notified
to communicate with him regarding
the matter.
A communicate was received from
the administrator of the Nora Me-
Clain estate asking for a reduction of
water tax from $7,00 to $3.50, owing
to the house on Allegheny street being
. unoccupied for six months or more.
The same was granted.
A communication was received from
C. A. Stowe, of the Scranton Electric
Construction company, regarding the
electric sirene fire alarm now in Belle.
fonte on trial. He explained that he
expected to be in Bellefonte within a
few days and would personally give
it a try-out. i
Chairman Harris, of the Street com-
mittee, reported $10.00 received from
E. H. Richard for a sewer permit. He
also advised the purchase of a quan-
tity of the U. G. I. road mixture for
resurfacing Thomas, east Howard,
Bishop and Pine streets. He also
called attention to the fact that so
far as he knew none of the oil put on
the streets last year had been paid
for by residents along the streets ex-
cept that on High street, which, he
charged, had been collected by a cer-
tain party and the money never turn-
ed over to the borough. Mr. Harris
again called attention to the laxity
of the police department in enforcing
the borough traffic ordinance, and he
was supported by borough solicitor
J. Thomas Mitchell in a statement
that at least a hundred cars passed
his residence on Allegheny street Sun-
day going at the rate of forty miles
an hour. The matter was referred
to the Fire and Police committee and
burgess to solve the trouble.
Mr. Seibert, of the Water commit-
tee, reported progress in the matter
of investigating the State-Centre
Electric company’s unitemized bill of
$122.00 for labor. He also stated
that superintendent H. J. Thompson
wanted a big list of new parts for the
pump at the Phoenix station, but in
his opinion they are not needed now.
The Fire and Police committee pre-
sented the burgess’ check for $26.00
for fines and licenses collected.
Regarding the request of S. B. Mil-
ler for the closing of the east end of
Curtin street and the north end of
Wilson street, borough solicitor J.
Thomas Mitchell stated that the only
way it could be legally done would be
to pass an ordinance rescinding the
ordinance opening said streets and
declaring portions of them vacant
No further action was taken in the
matter.
President Walker stated that objec-
tions had been made to the ordinance
presented council providing for the
sale of the Pruner property in Tyrone
and Kansas by the United States dis-
trict attorney for the middle district
of Pennsylvania and on motion the
same was withdrawn. A new ordi-
nance was then presented, passed first
reading and then held over until next
meeting night.
On motion the new water tax or-
dinance and the hitching post ordi-
nance were held over until next meet-
ing night.
The ordinance granting the Bell
‘Telephone company of Pennsylvania
the right to lay conduits, etc., on the
streets of Bellefonte was taken up for
a second reading and passed without
a dissenting vote.
The Street committee was empow-
ered to make necessary repairs to
Blanchard street, after which bills to
the amount of $267.48 were approved
and council adjourned.

ed to that extent that he was able to
be around almost as usual. Almost
five months ago he was again strick-
en and for eighteen weeks had been !
confined to his bed.
Christian Ursinus Hoffer was born
at Centre Hall on June 15th, 1856,
hence at his death was 60 years, 10
months and 2 days old. He was a son
of John and Leah Keller Hoffer who
moved to Pennsvalley from Lebanon
county. When Christian was a baby
the family moved to Bellefonte, ow-
ing to Mr. Hoffer having been elected
prothonotary of the county, and
it was here the foundation of his ed-
ucation was laid in the public schools.
Later he took a course in the Belle-
fonte Academy, at the conclusion of
which he entered State College. After
one year there he went to Franklin &
Marshall college where he graduated
in 1877. Returning from college he
assisted his father in his store in this
place until the latter’s death in 1885
when the management of the busi-
ness devolved upon him. In 1889 he
moved to Philipsburg and during his
residence there had filled the position
of expert accountant for various bus-
iness firms. He also filled a number
of borough offices, such as assessor,
tax collector and borough clerk, and
always discharged the duties pertain-
ing thereto with the utmost exactness
and fidelity. He was one of the oldest
members of the Royal Arcanum,
Chapter 803, and always an ardent
supporter of the order.
Politically he was a Democrat of
the staunchest kind and was an ar-
dent supporter of the party and its
principles.
He was a member of the Reformed
church from boyhood until after he
moved to Philipsburg when he be-
came a member and one of the most
active workers in St. Paul’s Episco-
pal church. Personally, he was one
of the most companionable of gentle-
men. Well read and thoroughly con-
versant with all public questions he
was an interesting talker and a gen-
tleman whom it was a pleasure to as-
sociate.
Mr. Hoffer was gifted with a very
retentive memory and one of the
things he did was to bring the histo-
ry of Philipsburg up to date. In his
day S. B. Rowe was the historian of
that town and before his death pub-
lished a history giving all the facts
in connection with Philipsburg and
community. When Philipsburg had
its Old Home week in 1909 Mr. Hof-
fer presented a history of the town
which not only included the facts
contained in Mr. Rowe’s history, but
everything of interest up to the Old
Home week celebration. It was a
very commendable piece of work and
will be referred to forever as the au-
thentic history of Philipsburg for
that period.
On September 17th, 1885, he was
united in marriage to Miss Ella J.
Gerberich, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
C. T. Gerberich, of this place, their
wedding being the first to take place
in the new Reformed church on Linn
street. Mrs. Hoffer survives with the
following children: John, Anna,
Louise, Richard and Frederick. He
also leaves three grand-children and a
half-sister, Mrs. R. G. H. Hayes.
Funeral services were held in St.
Paul’s "Episcopal church, Philipsburg,
at seven o’clock on Wednesday even-
ing by Rev. F. T. Eastment, and yes-
terday morning the remains were
brought to Bellefonte by automobile.
Final funeral services were held in
the Reformed church at one o’clock
yesterday afternoon. Rev. Eastment
was in charge, Dr. Schmidt having
been away from town. Burial was
made in the Union cemetery.

FOX.—Mzrs. Mary C. Fox, wife of
J. R. Fox, passed away at her home
at Mill Hall on Wednesday morning
as the result of an attack of pneu-
monia, developed from a cold con-
tracted only a few days ago while at-
tending the funeral of her brother,
George Harm, at Mt. Eagle. She was
sixty-nine years old and was born
and raised in Howard township, being
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
Harm. In addition to her husband
she is survived by the following chil-
dren: Mrs. Lillian McClenahan and
Miss Mary Fox, at home; Ward H.
Fox, of Mill Hall, and J. C. Fox, of
Unionville. The funeral will be held
at Mill Hall tomorrow.

DILLEN.—James Dillen died very
suddenly at the home of Mrs. Howard
Schenck, at Howard, on Monday
morning, aged 61 years. He was a
bachelor and worked as a farm hand
all his life. Surviving him are one
brother and two sisters, namely: John
and Mrs. John Delaney, of Jackson-
ville, and Mrs. John McCummings, of
Howard. Funeral services were held
yesterday morning after which the
remains were brought to Bellefonte
for burial in the Catholic cemetery.
: knew no alleviation.
She was the youngest child of
Reuben Herron and Mary Ann Gray
Meek and was born on the old home
farm in Half Moon valley on Novem-
ber 25th, 1849. From girlhood her
ambition was along educational lines
and her education was procured in the
Valley schools, the Bellefonte Acad-
emy and at the Lock Haven Normal.
When only fifteen years old she
taught her first term of school and
her life afterwards was devoted al-
most entirely to educational develop-
ment and teaching. Through the
thirty odd years that she devoted her-
self to teaching she very capably
filled positions in Philipsburg, Tyrone,
Bellefonte, Port Allegheny and at
Miss Marshall’s finishing school for
girls on North Broad St. Philadel-
phia. Her last engagement was a
tender of a position in the Bellefonte
schools which she declined because of
her desire to remain at home with her
elder sister.
Miss Meek was a woman of super-
ior intellectuality and unusually pro-
ficient as an educator. Outside of the
strict disciplinarian atmosphere of her
school room her's was a gracious,
pleasing character that won many
friends. Through her father she was
a direct descendant of Capt. George
Meek and on the maternal -side she
was a grand-daughter of Peter Gray,
one of the very prominent pioneers of
Half Moon valley.
Surviving her are two brothers, P.
Gray Meek, of Bellefonte, and L. Olin
Meek, of Philadelphia.
Funeral services were held in Phil-
adelphia on Sunday evening, the Rev.
W. K. Foster officiating and many of
her old Centre county friends who now
reside in that city being present. The
remains were brought to Lemont
Monday morning and taken directly
to Meek’s church at Fairbrook where
brief services were held and interment
was made in the family plot in the
adjoining burying ground.

SHARER.—Christian Sharer, one
of the best known men in upper Bald
Eagle valley,” died at his home in
Worth township at six o’clock last
Thursday morning of acute indiges-
tion. He was up and around in good
health until seized with the attack on
Wednesday.
Deceased was born on the old home-
stead in Worth township seventy-two
his entire life. He was a farmer by
occupation and also carried on lum-
bering on his extensive holdings of
timber lands on the Allegheny moun-
tains. He was probably the largest
landowner in that section of the coun-
ty and it was on his land the recent
test was made for oil and gas. Al-
though not affiliated with any church
he was a man who was charitable by
nature and did many deeds of kind-
ness that endeared him to the people
of his home community.
In 1866 he was united in marriage
to Miss Eva Reese, who survives with
the following children: Calvin N.,
Edward J., Daniel H., O. Perry and
Mrs. Fannie Yardley, of Philadelphia;
Miss Villa and Mrs. Randall J. Mat-
tern, at home, and Mrs, Harry E. Mil-
ler, of Eldorado. He also leaves one
sister, Mrs. Susan Woodle, of Phil-
ipsburg.

church, after which burial was made
in the Mt. Pleasant cemetery.

——The Albright College Glee Club
gave an excellent concert in the opera
house Thursday evening of last week.
The accompanist, Mr. Wilhelm, is a
young pianist of remarkable ability
and the soprano soloist, Miss Phillips,
of Lebanon, has a wonderful voice,
the entire training of the Glee Club be-
ing done by her. The program was not
elaborate but given in the best form
possible, with great generosity of en-
cores. Altogether the first appear-
ance of the Albright Glee Club in
Bellefonte was a great success. We
hope a return to Bellefonte will give
those unfortunate enough to miss this
concert an opportunity to hear them.

Bush house, has published a very in-
teresting leaflet advertising his hotel

others that cannot fail to interest the
traveling public.

FLAG RAISED AT MILESBURG.
Two Thousand People Gather to Wit-
ness the Spectacle Sunday After-
noon.
The unusual spectacle of a flag
raising on a Sunday drew two thous-
and or more people to Milesburg
Sunday afternoon to witness the stars
and stripes flung to the breeze across
Race street opposite W. B. Miles &
Son’s store. Bellefonte was largely
represented in the crowd, hundreds of
people going down by automobile and
on foot, while Troop L, of the First
Pennsylvania cavalry, led the parade.
The parade formed at the school
house and in addition to the cavalry
included a delegation of G. A. R. men,
dred school children. They marched
to the Diamond and formed around
the flag poles and in front of the
speakers stand. The program includ-
ed a prayer by Rev. Still, the singing
of “America” by the choir and an ad-
dress by Rev. Lepley. The flag was
then raised while the band played
“The Star Spangled Banner.”
Brief addresses were made by Bur-
gess Edmund Blanchard, Col. H. S.
Taylor and Samuel B. Miller, all of
Bellefonte, and the service concluded
with the benediction by Rev. Lepley.
Immediately after Our Boys band
gave a concert which was much en-
joyed by all those brave enough to
face the cold to hear it.
Flags were also raised during the
past week at the brick school build-
ing by Chester Barnes’ school, which
occurred on Thursday afternoon; at
the brick works at Milesburg Friday
evening and at Pleasant Gap on Sat-
urday evening.

A Cyclone of Fun.
A bunch of laughs in three acts is
“Ikey and Abey,” Tannehill’s farce
comedy, author of “The Girl From
Paris” and “Delmonico’s at 6:00.” All
have been presented for the approval
of theatre-goers, but it remained for
“Ikey and Abey” to surpass all pre-
vious efforts in this line. The smart
and breezy chatter in which it is writ-
ten serve to whiz it along at the speed
that keeps it abreast of all creations,
and in this case a stride or two ahead.
Mirth, music and melody, with scene-
ry and costumes fill two and a half
hilarious, happy hours with farce
comedy capers, and nothing to offend
the Jewish race. At Garman’s opera
house on Tuesday, April 24. Prices,
25, 35, 50 and 75 cents.

Conference of Women’s Clubs.
The county conference of Women’s
clubs will be entertained by the Civic
club of Boalsburg on Saturday, April
28th. Autos will meet the morning
trains at Bellefonte and will return
the passengers in time for the after-
noon trains for seventy-five cents
round trip. A box luncheon will be
served at noon. It seems an unusual
opportunity for the women of Centre
county to get together and discuss the
problems confronting us at the pres-
ent time and our best method of solv-
ing them. It is urged therefore, that
this conference have a large attend-
ance and every woman in the county,
whether a club member or not, is
earnestly requested to come.
