Bera td. Bellefonte, Pa., August 9, 1918. Sm THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY More people are attending the Lyric theatre now than ever before, and the reason is that they see big programs of moving pictures at pop- ular prices. A visit to the Lyric will confirm the above statement and also give you an evening of pleasure. _ On Tuesday evening the em- ployees of the City laundry were lit- _erally roasted out. At 5 o'clock the thermometer registered 105 degrees in their main work room and even the electric fans could not reduce the heat enough to make further work possi- ble. Headmaster James R. Hughes of the Bellefonte Academy has iden- tified 162 students and former stu- dents of his historic institution that are now in the service of their coun- try. While that is probably not near all of them, yet it is enough to make a record to be proud of. — The children’s party given by Mrs. Telford Fink, Tuesday, in cele- bration of her daughter Betty’s fifth birthday, was one long to be remem- bered by the fourteen children fortun- ate enough to be Miss Betty’s guests. Everything to please a child’s fancy in decorations, entertainment and re- freshments were lavishly provided. Flag raisings and festivals are so much the order of the day now that the people of Axe Mann have also fallen in line and will have a big cel- ebration at that place tomorrow even- ing. And not to be outdone in any particular they have secured Our Girls band of Milesburg to make the music while good speakers will be on hand to help entertain the crowd. Another musical treat is in store for the people of Bellefonte and vicinity. On Sunday evening, August 95th, the forty piece band from the Loysville orphans’ home will give an open air concert in front of the High school building on Allegheny street. The youthful musicians will come here under the auspices of the Lutheran church and the public is urged to turn out and enjoy the musical program. If you failed to see “My Four Years in Germany” at the Scenic Monday or Tuesday you missed one of the most historical pictures of the day. But that fact need not keep you from seeing some of the other good pictures which are shown there every evening in the week. Manager Brown takes special pains to furnish his pa- trons with the best pictures obtaina- ble and that is the main reason why the Scenic is so popular. Samuel Solt, a Spanish Ameri- can war veteran who now makes his home in Williamsport but who for- merly lived in Bellefonte, was in Al- toona this week and charged John la few words he: stated the purpose of Dodson, a man with a wooden leg with not only robbing him of thirty-five dollars but beating him up as well.

G. W. Givler, president of the Sixteeners’ Associa- tion and secretary of the McAlister- ville Association appeals to all Six- teeners to make a special effort dur- ing the month of August to do some- thing of the extraordinary to help our army and navy in their effort to bring about democracy to the world. On Monday afternoon Mrs. Joseph W. Undercoffer, accompanied by her niece, Mrs. James Keeman and little girl of Philadelphia, left for a visit with friends at Belmont, Pa. At Olean . they were compelled to change trains and it is necessary to go some distance from one depot to the other. At the P. R. R. station they took a taxi to go to the other station and on the way their taxi collided with anoth- er machine and all of the passengers were thrown out. Mrs. Undercoffer had several ribs broken and one leg badly bruised, but fortunately none of the bones fractured. She was tak- en to the Olean hospital where she is undergoing treatment. Mrs. Keeman and child were badly shaken up but received no serious injuries. The taxi they were in was completely wrecked. — During the week the local edit- or of the “Watchman” brought down to the office two specimens of toma- toes which he claimed HE raised in HIS garden. They were perfect beau- ties. So large and well formed as to look like they had stepped right out of the illustrations in a seed cata- logue. While in some lines of work the “Watchman” has a great deal of respect for its capable local editor, ever since he made it the purveyor of that story about the trout in Spring ereek racing with one another it has inclined to be from Missouri when some of his tales are unfolded and while it is a mighty mean thing fora newspaper to say about a man who is giving it such faithful service all the time we were admiring those beautiful tomatoes we had a vision of Mrs. Gates and Miss Winifred bending over the vines cultivating the toma- toes while our local editor was gal- lantly marching at the head of -patri- otic parades.

THREATENS. Devise Means of Saving the Only Railroad that Traverses the On Wednesday afternoon sixty-sev- en persons met in the pavilion at Hecla Park to discuss the calamity that is about to befall Nittany Valley through the dissolution of the Cen- tral Railroad of Pennsylvania. As told in the “Watchman” two weeks ago the bond-holders of the railroad have made application to the courts of Philadelphia for a decree annul- ling the charter of the road and if it is granted all of that immensely rich agricultural valley extending from Bellefonte to Mill Hall will be set back to the condition it was in prior to 1893, when it had no rail connec- tions and had to depend on wagons to market its crops and wagons to haul its supplies in with. While there are a number of rep- resentative business men from Belle- fonte and the extreme eastern point on the line the great central portion of the valley, the section that will suffer the most serious inconvenience if the road is lost, was represented by only a few of its property owners. There was but one farmer or business man to represent all of the area ex- tending from Hecla Park to Belle- fonte. Hublersburg and Snydertown were very ably represented by the few gentlemen in attendance but the turn- out from the country in general was such as to indicate that the farmers and others down there haven't yet fully realized what a serious econom- | ic loss each and every one of them will suffer if the road is scrapped.

Those who were in a position to know seemed to be of the opinion that if the road is to be saved the work must be done at once, through pleas Edmund Blanchard, of Bellefonte, was ito Drexel & Co., for better terms, a chosen chairman of the meeting. In| the gathering and then called upon | N. B. Spangler Esq. to explain the | plans that he had prepared at the in- | stigation of a committee of Bellefonte business men interested in the contin- | ued operation of the road. i Mr. Spangler stated what he be- | lieves to be a fact that if the decree | of dissolution is granted on August | 19th on the next day there will not be | a train running through Nittany val- ley. He stated that he had already made a trip to Philadelphia for a con- ference with Drexel & Co., owners of the bonds, and had ascertained from | them the information that while they | have a very full appreciation of the | disaster that threatens Nittany Val- | ley and will be disposed to help in | whatever way they can, they have | stood for enough losses on the line, | and now that the time seems most op- | portune to scrap it, they intend to! take advantage of it and will scrap it | unless it is bought by some one else. | With such an eventuality in view they | had made a tentative offer to dispose | of their $600,000 bonds on the road, | which constitutes ownership, for a fig- | ure somewhere near $275,000. { It was Mr. Spangler's suggestion | that the meeting get busy at once on a survey to ascertain whether such a | sum could be raised. Chairman | Blanchard then called for expressions | of opinion from those present. Mr. T. J. Smull, of Mackeyville; Mr. Na- | | thaniel Yearick, of Jacksonville; John | H. Beck, of Snydertown; Geo.

Who is going to put up the money? Everybody will help as far as they can, but the property owners | of Nittany valley are the most vital- ly interested and they should strain their last resource to put the thing through if they are not indifferent to |the great loss each and everyone of them will suffer if it fails.

The thunder and lightning were un- usually severe and in order to keep their service from being ruined the State-Centre Electric company turn- ed off the electricity and the intense darkness seemingly rendered the storm more fierce. During the most severe part of it lightning struck the stable belonging to Haupt and Brown, on Halfmoon hill, setting it on fire with the result that the building and contents were burned to the ground. The stable contained two loads of hay and a grain driil belonging to Haupt and Brown, and a buggy and harness be- Meek, Robert F. Hunter, Col. J. L. onan to Frank Monsel. Jas. H. Potter, Hon. A. G.

Of course, as he said, the government can do nothing until it is revealed that someone other than those who intend to scrap it are in control of it, and to that end he asked for subscriptions. The subscriptions are not to be binding until all of the necessary money is raised and when that is done those who have subscrib- ed and paid their subscriptions will be called together to reorganize and operate the road as their own prop- erty. There wasn’t any rush on the part of those present to get to the sub- scription paper; at least that you could notice, but finally. Mr. Chas Dunn, of Mill Hall, stepped up and the ice was broken.

Ginter in payment for the new federal postoffice site in Tyrone which includes the well known Pruner block, which has been one of the chief sources of revenue for the Pruner orphanage in this place. The deal for this property has been hanging fire for a year or longer. In order to make the sale both the Ty- rone and Bellefonte councils were re- quired to pass ordinances authorizing the sale. The matter then had to be taken before the court of Blair coun- ty for a court decision on the legality of the transaction, but the entire mat- ter has finally been settled by the paying over of the money. The next problem now will be the investing of the money by the trustees of the Pru- ner orphanage so as to bring the Pru- equate return for the support of that institution.
