THINGS ABOUT TOWN AND COUNTY
——Do not fail to read of the one
cent sale of Rexall goods at Green's
next week.
——The local exemption board has
been ordered to furnish 69 men for
the next call which will be the week
beginning August 25th.
——When considering how to
spend the evening think of the Lyr-
ic. 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.

' 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.

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. Krape, a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Nathaniel Krape, of Bellefonte. The
ceremony took place in the presence
of about thirty invited guests and
was performed by Rev. Wilson P.
Ard, of the Lutheran church. The
attendants were Miss Pearl Evey and
Lester Marshall. Following a deli-
cious wedding breakfast Mr. and Mrs.
Krape departed on the afternoon train
for a wedding trip to Niagara Falls
