There you will see good motion pictures at the old-time popular prices. ——On the third page of today’s paper will be found a very interest- ing report on the Junior Red Cross of Snow Shoe, with a complete list of members by schools and money con- tributed. ——William Groh Runkle has again started work on his house on Alle- gheny street. This time it is on the front and he is now building the steps for the porch, and if in due time he can get sufficient lumber he will build the porch. ——Judge Henry C. Quigley, who hcld court at Towanda several days last week, has been asked to go to Pittsburgh next month to open the session of court there and preside for two weeks. He will also go back to Towanda in October. County Commissioner Isaac Miller lost a valuable pear tree on Wednesday afternoon when it was blown down by the high wind. The tree was heavily laden with fruit, but most of the pears were saved as they were of an early variety. ——G. Chal Port, state fire mar- shal, of Harrisburg, has named Wed- nesday, October 9th, as fire prevention day in Pennsylvania and has issued a small pamphlet in explanation of how the day should be observed. Copies of said phamphlet can be se- cured by addressing him at Harris- burg. Our candidate for State Senator, the Hon. Matt Savage, of Clearfield, will be the orator at the Williams family reunion on Saturday, August 17th. Besides having a fine time at this rather notable family gathering you would enjoy meeting and hearing Mr. Savage—and we would advise all who can to make the trip up the Bald Eagle the day the Williams clan get together. The Bellefonte school board has secured Lloyd Rogers, of Nittany, as principal of the High school for the coming season. Mr. Rogers last year was assistant county superintendent of Lycoming county, and after the close of school early in the summer went to Pittsburgh where he has been’ since. He will come to Bellefonte in o time for the opening of school on Sep-1 Sul tember 9th. ——Notwithstanding the fact that the weather is hot the pictures at the Scenic will make you forget it for the time being. They are always the best that manager T. Clayton Brown can secure, which means that they are in- teresting enough to hold vour atten- tion throughout the entire program. Every man 2n1l woman whe has ever attended the i3ceniz always go there when they wan! te see good pictures. ——The “Watchman” offers a reward of $25.00 in cash to any person who will furnish information on which the person or persons who robbed and despoiled the war garden of the chil- dren of the Bellefonte public schools can be apprehended and convicted. And a similar cash reward will be paid for information that will bring to justice the despoiler of any other war gardens in Centre county that were put out and cared for by chil- dren. ——Announcement has been made of the engagement of Lieut. Herbert Gray Foster, son of Rev. and Mrs. W. K. Foster, of Jenkintown, and ‘Miss Marjorie S. Bradshaw, a daughter of Capt. and Mrs. John Bradshaw, of New York. Lieut. Foster, who is a member of the Philadelphia bar, en- tered the first officers’ training school at Niagara last year, won his com- mission in August and is now with the expeditionary forces in France. Miss Bradshaw has been studying for some time at a nurses’ training school and expects soon to go to France as a Red Cross nurse. ——Landlord August Glinz would surely take the prize at any county fair on his mangoes grown in his bun- galow garden up Spring creek. Just what kind of plants he has the writ- er does not know, but they are more like bushes than plants. They are easily three feet high and contain from fifteen to twenty large mangoes, some of them six and eight inches long and of proportionate size every other way. As an example of their prolificness he this week gathered a bushel of mangoes off of four plants and then did not bother picking the undersized ones. Other vegetables in his garden are also doing fine. ——The rebuilding of south Water street is proving considerable of a hardship to most of the people whose business interests lie along that thoroughfare. The N. R. Miller ga- rage is stranded about three feet above the present grade of the street, with a precipitous bank that makes it impossible to get in or out on Water street. The Keichline garage, Forest Bullock’s shop and the Garbrick Bros. are in much the same fix. And as it looks now it will not only be weeks but months before the roadway is completed. Contractor Taylor’s great difficulty is his inability to get suffi- cient help to hurry the work along. KILLED BY LIGHTNING. Fred Krumrine, of State College, the Victim of a Stroke Wednesday Afternoon. Fred Krumrine, a well known resi- dent of State College, was instantly killed by a stroke of lightning at four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon and both horses he was driving were also killed. Mr. Krumrine was hauling in oats on one of the college farms. He saw the storm approaching and with only about a dozen of oats on his wagon started for shelter in the new dairy barn. When within one hundred feet of the barn there came a sharp stroke and Krumrine was hurled from the wagon a distance of ten feet. At the same instant both horses dropped in their tracks, falling together over the wagon tongue. A twelve year old son of William Cole was sitting on the rear end of the wagon and when he realized what had happened he jumped and ran. Persons who saw the unfortunate incident called to the boy to stop but he failed to do so. He ran with a slight limp but whether it was as the result of the stroke of lightning or from some oth- er cause is not known. When help arrived on the scene they found Mr. Krumrine and the horses dead. The shoe was torn off of Mr. Krumrine’s left foot and was found twenty feet from where he lay. The upper close to the sole was cut from toe to heel as-neatly as if done with a knife, and further examina- tion showed his stocking to be in like condition. There was a slight mark on his foot as from a stone bruise and his hair were slightly singed. The only marks on the wagon were two splinters on the coupling pole, but whether they were the result of the stroke or had been there is not known. Mr. Krumrine was a son of J. W. and Rosetta Krumrine, and was born in College township on September 5th, 1857, hence was almost sixty-one years old. His entire life was spent in the vicinity of State College. He was a member of the Pine Hall Re- formed church and a good citizen in every way. On September 18th, 1879, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Mary Garner, of State College, who survives with one son, J. Frank, of State College. He also leaves four sisters: Mrs. Henry Fye, of Tyrone; Mrs. James Mason, of Altoona; Mrs. D. F. Roup, of Braddock, and Mrs. Elsie Krumrine, of Laramie, Wyo- ming. Rev. S. C. Stover will have charge of the funeral which will be held at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, burial to be made in the Pine Hall cemetery. Terrific . Phunder and Lightning ‘Storms. bs a3 % Soha 2 The intensely. hot and humid weather or the ‘past. three weeks re- and lightning storms, with veritable downpours of rain, so that the long drought which prevailed during July has been followed by more rain than usual for this time of year. Last Friday night there were two severe storms and while no fires re- sulted several buildings in Bellefonte were struck by lightning. One of them was the United Brethren church, the steeple of which was struck and a hole knocked right through it. The east end of the main building of the Pennsylvania Match company was struck and while the flagstaff was not damaged in the least a number of bricks were knocked from the end wall at the comb of the roof. Humes’ house was also struck but not much damage done. Shortly after noon on Monday there was another terrific storm with very severe thunder and lightning. A bolt struck the house on Pine street occu- pied by the Milton Straub family, knocking down half the chimney and tearing off a strip of the roof about a foot wide. Mrs. Straub was knock- ed down and stunned to that extent that she felt the effects of the stroke a half hour or more. Her little daughter Dorothy was also slightly affected by the shock. Neighbors who saw the stroke promptly sent in an alarm of fire, but fortunately no fire resulted. The many hard rains are interfer- ing very materially with the farmers getting in their oats. In some parts of the county most of the oats is on shock and this has been soaked through and through. Inasmuch as some of it was cut a little green there is danger of it rotting. In other parts of the county the oats has been knocked flat to the ground so that it will be almost impossible to cut it with a binder. Centre County Must Buy More War Savings Stamps. The report for the war savings campaign in Centre county, is as fol- lows: For the week ending August 3rd Centre county had a per capita of 82c., and $13.00 for the entire cam- paign, thus retaining fourth place in the list of counties in the Eastern district of Pennsylvania. We are now $1.21 less than Fulton; $1.12 less than Cameron, and only 66¢c. ahead of Snyder, which stands fifth in the State. It is absolutely necessary that the good people of Centre county should make a desperate effort to retain our present standing, and if possible, to insure “going over the top” in actual sales in a very short time. Every man, woman and child in our county, who is interested in the successful termination of this war, should enlist their very best effort at once in the war savings campaign. W. HARRISON WALKER, Chairman War Savings Committee for Centre County. “series of terrific thunder ' State College Professor Reported as : Being Pro-German. There has been considerable dis- : cussion at State College during the | past week over the fact that Profes- ; sor Richard Ernesti had been report- | ed to the federal apthorities as a pro-German. The professor is at the head of the industrial and fine arts department and the facts in the case are as follows: The professor has considerable tal- ent as an artist and during the sum- mer course for teachers he gave a class of some eight or ten young la- dies who were studying fine arts, a number of his own pictures to criti- cise. Among the number was one of the Kaiser. Miss Helen M. Treible, of Utica, N. Y., was a member of the class and when the Kaiser's picture was given her to criticise she indig- nantly turned it face down upor her desk, declaring she would not have anything to do with it. Then it was, the young woman alleges, that Prof. Ernesti said: “Remember, this war is not over. Some day you may have to get on your knees before the Kai- ser, or be hanged.” Miss Trieble hot- ly replied that “anyone taking that attitude on the Kaiser’s picture was either ignorant or a lunatic.” Of course the incident soon gained publicity and finally came to the ears of Henry Grimm, the tailor. He it was that ran down the clues and fi- nally induced Miss Trieble to make affidavits as above, which were imme- diately forwarded to Washington to the federal authorities for investiga- tion, and that is as far as the matter had gone up to yesterday. Prof. Ernesti came to the College about four years ago, but prior to that time little is known of his career. Aeroplane Flew Over Pennsvalley. Residents of Pennsvalley were con- siderably excited on Monday evening by the flight of an aeroplane over the valley. it passed over Oak Hall about seven o’clock and was headed due west. Of course no one supposed for a minute that it was a German bombing machine but they were at a loss to account for its flight over their peaceful habitation. |. The fact of the matter is that the plane was in charge of Major Claude K- Rhinehardt who, with Lieut. M. S. Cleary, were on a flight from Hazel- hurst field, Mineola, N. Y., to Dayton, Ohio. They left New York at noon on Monday and flew to Philadelphia where they stopped twenty minutes. From Philadelphia they flew to Sun- bury where they stopped for oil and gasoline then came west over Penns- valley and as far as Cresson, but deeming it unwise to attempt to cross the mountain at night returned to Hollidaysburg where they spent the - The machine used was a Curtiss J. N. 4-H, advanced training type equip- ped with a Hispano-Syzia motor. Th fliers averaged ninety miles an hour. The flight is being made to demon- strate the type of machine the gov- ernment is using and various sections of the country will be visited. James Uzzle Had Narrow Escape When Pipe Blew Up. James Uzzle, of Snow Shoe, had a rather close call for his life or ser- ious injury on Saturday evening when the pipe he was smoking was liter- ally blown to fragments. Mr. Uzzle decided to come to Bellefonte and ow- ing to the fact that it looked very much like rain put on his hunting coat. Now it happened that he had not worn the coat since the hunting season last fall and feeling in his pocket he discovered some tobacco. Pulling out his pipe he filled the bowl and lighted it. He took a few puffs of the fragrant weed when there was a loud explosion and the pipe was blown from his mouth. Fragments of the bowl were found but he was unable to find even a small bit of the stem. But he did find an empty cartridge shell and then it dawned upon him that he probably had some loose shells in his pocket and had put one of them in his pipe with the tobacco. The only injury Mr. Uzzle sustained was a slight contusion in the middle of the fore- head. George H. Davis Died at Peniten- tiary. George H. Davis, a prisoner at the penitentiary died on Tuesday after- noone under peculiar circumstances. He with several others went out a lit- tle after one o'clock to repair some telephone wires. Davis started to climb a pole and when up about eight or ten feet he suddenly fell backwards and died almost instantly. At first it was thought his hold slipped and in falling his neck was broken but a postmortem yesterday revealed the fact that the man had had a hemor- rhage of the brain and it was very likely that he was seized with a stroke of apoplexy just as he began to climb the pole. Davis was a model prison- er. He was sent up from Cambria county and had only about seven months more to serve. Burial was made in the penitentiary cemetery yesterday afternoon. Dean Arthur Holmes Will Leave State College. Dr. Arthur Holmes, who has been dean of The Pennsylvania State Col- lege the past six years, has resigned his position to accept the presidency of Drake University at Des Moines, Iowa, the change to take place Sep- tember first. Dr. Holmes came to State College in 1912 from the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, where he was head of the department of phil- osophy for four years. rn pp fp rinses Subscribe for the “Watchman.” Little Hope Yet for the Central Rail- | road of Pennsylvania. | Developments in the effort launch- ed last week to try to save the Cen- tral Railroad of Pennsylvania from ! dissolution are discouraging. Up to this writing very little of a construc- tive nature has been accomplished. | While the general committee, named | in last week’s “Watchman,” will not | report unti! today as to what it has’ been able to do in the way of raising funds in Nittany valiey, many of the committeemen were interrogated by | the “Watchman” yesterday and all of them reported that they had met with so little success that in their opinion che task is hopeless. J. Linn Harris, who represents the Bellefonte Lime Co., with extensive operations at Salona, went to New York to consult witk federal manager Crowley, of the New York Central. His purpose was to ascertain wheth- er the N. Y. C. would operate the road if bought by our citizens or buy it and operate it themselves. He was unable to secure an audience with Mr. Crowley and was told tc state his case in writing as it would receive as much consideration that way as if presented in a personal interview. There is some talk to the effect that possibly the New York Central will take over or operate for others the lower end of the line because it has been accustomed to drawing on the quarries of the Bellefonte Lime Co., for large quantities of ballast for its own lines and is therefor interest- ed to that extent at least in keeping the road in operation as far as Salo- na. It will be recalled that at the meeting held at Hecla last week gen- tlemen from points on the line be- tween Mill Hail and Salona seemed to talk with an air of confidence that gave rise to the thought that they had soma sort of assurance that their part of theline could be kept in ope- ration. N. B. Svangler Esq., attorney for the general committee and for private interests, said yesterday that he had received no reports up to that time or no assurances even on which he woulc. feel warranted in appearing in court in Philadelphia next Monday with an appeal for a stay of dissolu- tion. In fact he appeared rather hopeless of the whole situation. He also said that the proposed petition to Federal Manager McAdoo would not be presented for the reason that there is no assurance that the road will be bought or taken by anyone. While there is hope that some fa- vorable turn will yet be made it must be confessed that little if anything has been accomplished in the way of halting the dissolution proceedings. Raymond Lingle Killed in Action in France. Friends of Raymond Lingle were notified on Tuesday that he had been ed in action in France on July 30th. ‘While the young man enlisted at Du- Bois most of his life was spent in Bellefonte and his many relatives and friends here deeply regret the fact that he was one of the Pennsylvania boys called upon to make the su- preme sacrifice. Raymond Lingle was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard Lingle and was ‘born in Bellefonte twenty-nine years ago. His entire life was spent here until the family moved to DuBois a few years ago. When war was de- clared on Germany he enlisted as a private in Company M, 110th regi- ment and trained with the Keystone troops at Camp Hancock. While there he won the promotion to a ser- geant and went over seas with the division. His death in action evident- ly occurred at the time when the al- lies drove the Germans over the river Vesle. The young man is survived by his mother and sister Marion in DuBois, and one brother, Harold, in New York city. He is the first soldier intimate- ly known in Bellefonte to give his life for the great cause of world democ- racy. ONE OF THE TAYLORS A PRISONER. Saturday evening the following ca- ble message was received in Belle- fonte: Taylor, Bellefonte: Prisoner Camp Rastatt. Well. (Signed) TAYLOR. The message was delivered to Col. H. S. Taylor on the supposition that it was his son, Lieut. Vincent N. Tay- lor of the 38th infantry, but though every effort has been made to find out definitely the mystery is as yet unsolved. While it is known that Lieut. Vincent Taylor has been on the front for some time and has been cit- ed several times for bravery, Lieut. E. R. Taylor (Dick) has also been on the front, as he has been in charge of Company K, 110th regiment which suffered quite heavily in the drive on the Marne. Then there is Reynolds Taylor, a son of W. Henry Taylor, who has been at the front with the engineers, so that it is possible that the man in the German prison is any one of the above three. Camp Rastatt is located in Alsace-Lorraine about seventy-five miles from the Swiss border. Krape—Grove.—The home of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Grove, in Benner town- ship, was the scene of a pretty wed- ding at ten o’clock yesterday morn- ing when their daughter, Miss Pearl E. Grove, was united in marriage to Boyd R.
