Wednesday’s Weather Was a Record Breaker for This Time of Year. While “the oldest citizen” might recall something similar the average person admits that Wednesday's weather was a record breaker. Rain began falling early Tuesday night and later it turned to sleet and snow and Wednesday morning residents of Bellefonte were treated to a sight of white-capped mountains in the neigh- borhood of Point McCoy. But Belle- fonte was not to be compared to oth- er places in the county. Out at Snow Shoe the ground was covered to a depth of three inches and notwithstanding the fact that it was but the 24th day of October snow shovels were called into use to shovel the snow from the pavements. Up at Benore and through the Bar- rens there was an inch and a half to two inches of snow. Rain and snow fell intermittently all day on Wednesday and out beyond Clarence it reached a.depth of seven inches and a bunch of mining engi- neers from State College, who were out there opening up a mine for Charles Reese had to quit work and come home for heavier clothing. A terrific storm swept over State College about five o’clock in the even- ing when the snow fell so fast that it was almost impossible to see around, and a depth of four inches was record- ed. Through all the mountainous sections of the central part of the State snow-falls of various depths were reported. Of course most of it melted as it fell in the valleys but all the moun- tains were covered with a mantle of white yesterday morning, but it melt- ed away during the day with the slight moderation of temperature which followed the stormy period. Four Men Sent to the Penitentiary. In an open session of court on Mon- day morning four men plead guilty to various crimes and were sentenced to the penitentiary by Judge Henry C. Quigley. The men were James Hand and Harry Meese, of Sandy Ridge, charg- ed with the robbery of Stuart’s store. The sentence imposed on both was for a term of not less than thre years nor more than five. : Robert Brown, colored, charged with larceny and who a few weeks ago had been paroled in the custody of Charles Morris, then broke his pa- role, was given a sentence of from one to two years. The fourth man sentenced was Da- vid Hummell, one of the prisoners who escaped from the penitentiary last Thursday afternoon. Hummell was caught on Saturday afternoon on . the Bald Eagle mountain south of Unionville by J. C. Fox, a school teacher, and H. I. Stere. Fox had gone hunting on the mountain and discovered Hummell and Peter Hart- man the other escaped prisoner in an old cabin, where they had built a fire to warm up at. Fox was a little ap- prehensive of tackling the prisoners alone so went back to Unionville and telephoned the penitentiary as to the whereabouts of the prisoners. He then induced H. I. Stere to go with him and the two men went back up the mountain to the cabin. Approaching the cabin Fox called to the men to come out and they did so. Hummell began to parley with the men to leave them go and while doing so Hartman edged around the cabin and made a break for liberty. He ran into a wire fence and Fox called to him to stop but he did not heed the command. Freeing himself from the fence Hartman made anoth- er dash and escaped in the under- brush. Fox and Stere took Hummell down to the main road where they were met by penitentiary guards who brought Hummell to the Centre coun- ty jail. On Monday morning he plead guil- ty to escape and was sentenced to serve out his old term and an addi- tional term of equal length, which is from one year and two months to one year and four months. The four men were taken to Pitts- burgh on Tuesday morning by Sher- iff George H. Yarnell, chief of police Harry Dukeman, Horace W. Musser and H. W. Irivin. Women Engaged in Bonds. Suffragists throughout the county are working under a Woman’s com- mittee to sell Liberty Bonds. You can help in this work by tak- ing bonds yourself, by trying to influ- ence others to take them, and by helping the wage worker to buy on the installment plan, or better, by lending the money to be repaid to you over a longer period than the banks allow. Whatever work you do will you kindly report it to me, as we are anx- ious to know what suffragists contrib- ute to this part of the war work. ELIZABETH B. BEACH, Chairman W. S.

Notwithstanding the fact that con- ditions were quite favorable the opening day of the hunting season yielded poor returns to those who braved the damp woods and fields. In fact the writer does not recall an opening day in years when so few squirrel and pheasants were bagged and brought to Bellefonte. So far as we have been able to learn just one squirrel and one wild duck were ex- hibited on the streets of Bellefonte last Saturday evening and the man who had those was a stranger. Down Hublersburg way a few squirrel were bagged, the most suc- cessful hunter being Fred Yarnell, a son of Sheriff Yarnell. Out in the Snow Shoe region very few hunters were out for the opening day and in consequence little game was gotten. The Snow Shoe crowd, however, went into camp on Monday and when they return home will likely have their share of the game in the woods. Reports from all over the county concur in the fact that squirrel are very scarce so far, due no doubt to the short crop of nuts. Of course, being of a migratory nature they may become more plentiful later. It is quite evident, though, that pheasants are not as plentiful as they should be for good hunting. The wet, cold sea- son early in the summer was evident- ly hard on the young birds and the crop has been, in consequence, small- er than usual, so that the hunter who is able to get his limit in a day will be lucky indeed. — reer State College Announces Annual Farmers’ Week. The Pennsylvania State College school of agriculture and experiment station calls attention to its annual Farmers’ week which this year will cover a period of four days, from Wednesday, December 26th, to Satur- day, December 29th, inclusive. In past years the practice has been to continue the Farmers’ week ses- sions for a full week. Although the period has been shortened this year an effort is being made to pack a large amount of practical informa- tion into four days. As usual, speak- ers and demonstrators representing all lines of practical and institutional work and every phase of agriculture will present the program. Programs will probably be ready for distribution early in November. Savage Injured Auto Accident. Ex-Judge Clinton R. Savage, of Sunbury, with his wife and son, were victims . of an automobile accident early on Sunday night when their car was struck by a motor truck on the road between Harrisburg and Carlisle, the Savage car overturning and pin- ning the occupants beneath it. All the members of the party received cuts and bruises but no broken bones. It was at first feared Mrs. Savage and her son might be injured inter- nally. Judge Savage is well known in Bellefonte and his friends here hope the injuries of he and his fami- ly will not prove serious. State Fire Marshall Killed in Auto Accident. State Fire Marshall Thomas G. Ryan and Harry Swank, of Danville, were instantly killed last Friday and Harry Cromwell was badly injured when the latter’s high powered car went over an embankment and hurled the occupants onto the tracks of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad.

Judge in —————— ee ——To see him going so diligently about his work of raising trout at the Bellefonte fish hatchery one would not take W. F. Haas with being overbur- dened with a saving grace of humor, yet when a Bellefonte young man asked him on Monday why he had boards over the fish ponds he told him “for the fish to get under when it rains,” and the Bellefonte young man is still wondering if he was in earn- est. — “Send him a photograph’ — Mallory Studio. 39-tf ——R.

Foster, of State College, which took place in the Presbyterian church at State College at six o’clock last Wednesday even- ing, was quite a brilliant social event. Many invitations had been issued and a large congregation witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by the bride’s pastor, Rev. Samuel Mar- tin. Miss Foster, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a gown of white charmeuse beaded in pearls, with a flowing veil of tulle fastened with orange blossoms. She carried a bouquet of white roses and lillies of the valley. Her maid of honor was her sister, Miss Helen Foster, and her bridesmaids Miss Elizabeth Foster, of State College, and Mrs. Fred J. Holben, of Harrisburg. They were dressed in autumn-colored gowns and carried bouquets of tea roses. The best man was Dr. Horace G. Keith, of Yonkers, N. Y. The fact that the brother of the bride as well as all her male cousins have been summoned for service was excuse for having a “war vedding” and the ushers were four young lady friends of the bride, namely: Misses Juliet Grazier, Ruth Meek and Mary Lytle, of State Col- lege, and Mary Warfield, of Belle- fonte, all of whom were dressed in pure white. In keeping with the patriotic spirit of the wedding a large American flag furnished the centre of decorations in the church which were of spruce, rhododendron and autumn leaves. Similar decorations prevailed at the house where a reception was tender- ed the young couple immediately fol- lowing the ceremony. About one hun- dred and fifty guests attended the re- ception and refreshments were serv- ed by caterer Achenbach, of Lock Ha- ven. The musical program at the church was very elaborate and includ- ed a wedding march specially written by Victor Lecoq, an intimate friend of the bridegroom. Mr. Crandell was formerly assist- ant professor of civil engineering at the college but is now consulting en- gineer for the Barrett company in New York city where they will make their home upon return from their wedding trip which will include a visit to Camp Grant, Ill, to see the bride’s brother, Harold D. Foster, who is now in an officers’ training camp at that place. Many out of town guests were present including these from Belle- fonte: Mrs. G. Fred Musser, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hazel and Mr. and Mrs. J. Will Conley. Flagg—Swope.—A wedding that will be of interest to many readers of the “Watchman” was that of Harold Vincent Flagg, of State College, and Miss Frances Margaret Swope, of Caldwell, Clinton county, the ceremo- ny taking place at three o’clock on Tuesday afternoon at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. Scott Williams, in Lock Haven. The officiating minister was Rev. Mr. Brucke, of the Lutheran church, the double ring service being used. The only guests present were members of the two families. ~The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bell Swope and is a graduate nurse of the Bellefonte hospital, class of 1912.

That gentleman quickly responded and Register ‘Frank Sasserman escorted the pair to the library, while most of the officials in the court house gathered as wit- nesses. The bride donned a large veil and Rev. Carson soon made the two man and wife. While Rev. Carson was making out the marriage certificate the young la- dies employed in the court house se- cured a supply of tin horns and as the couple descended the rear stairway and started out through the corrider they gave them a real, old-fashioned serenade, much to the discomfiture of the bride. The bridegroom, however, took the affair good naturedly and gave the young ladies a dollar with which to buy candy. And not to be outdone by the bridegroom Rev. Car- son also gave the ladies a dollar for more candy. VanValin—Davis.—Forest DeLore VanValin, a son of the late Waldo V. VanValin, of Unionville, and Miss Lillian Mae Davis, of Washington, D.
