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.

can war veteran who now makes his

pointment, but all should feel that at
this time nothing should
with giving their country the very
best service they can. 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.

NITTANY VALLEY AROUSED TO!
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.

This concluded the work of the
meeting and the plans for the move-
ments of the various committees nam-
ed will be formulated by attorney
Spangler.
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- |

Who is going to put up the
money to buy the road? And that, is
the meat in this terribly hard nut to
crack. 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-

their last resource to put the thing

them will suffer if it fails.

storms that has been witnessed here
this summer passed over Centre
county on Sunday evening between
nine and ten o’clock, being accompa-

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-

and announced that he had prepared
errment, out of consideration
lime and limestone, the lumber and
props and the farm produce originat-
ing in the valley, step in and guarantee
the continuance of service during the
war at least. 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. The result of
the meeting, so far as subscriptions
were concerned, was as follows:
Chas. Dunn, Mill Hall............ $ 1000.00

Then the procession to the paper
stopped. It was evident that others
present would have subscribed in
smaller amounts, but hesitated to do
so at the time.
Upon motion committees were ap-
pointed to canvas the Valley at once
with a view to ascertaining just how
much can be raised. These commit-
tees were appointed as follows:

' Money Paid Over for Pruner Prop-
erty, Tyrone.
Last Friday a United States dis-
‘livered a United States treasury check
| signed by William G. McAdoo for
$25,000 to John S. 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.
