Pushing Work on the New Silk Mill.
Those persons who have been at all
skeptical as to the building of a big
silk mill in Bellefonte should take a |
walk down to what was formerly the
lumber yard of P. B. Crider & Son,
and they will promptly disassociate
themselves from the ranks of the
doubting Thomases. Forty-five men
went to work there on Monday morn-
ing, digging ditch for the founda-
tion, and unloading brick, carrying
lumber for the concrete work and
cleaning off the site for the building,
which will be one of the biggest in
Bellefonte. To be exact the building
will be 186 feet, 6 inches in length by
138 feet 10% inches wide. All the
foundation walls will be of concrete
and the building proper will be of
brick and windows. The brick to be
used are from the Milesburg brick
plant.
Not only the foundation walls will
be of concrete but after they are up
and the joist put in a solid concrete
floor will be put in the entire building
and this will be covered with a hard
wood floor. This will not only deaden
all sound but will furnish stability for
the machinery. W. Wash Snyder, of
Shamokin, is the superintendent in
charge of the work of construction for
the Shamokin Lumber and Construc-
tion company. He literally grew up
in the work and had charge of the
erection of the silk mills at Cham-
bersburg and Gettysburg for the J. H.
and C. K. Eagle company.
The eastern end of the big building
will be located right along the bank of
Spring creek and the large vault will
be in the southeast corner of the
room. The office will be located on
the southern side of the building about
the middle of the structure. The boil-
er, engine room and shipping depart-
ment will be at the western end of the
building. The present force of work-
men on the building will be increased
as necessity demands, as every energy
will be put forth to have the same
completed within three months.
Fisher Succeeds Bishop
McCort.
The Right Rev. Monsignor Nevin F.
Fisher, rector of the Catholic church
of St. John the Evangelist, Thir-
teenth street, below Market, Philadel-
phia, has been appointed rector of the
Church of Our Mother of Sorrows,
Forty-eighth street and Lancaster
avenue, the largest Catholic parish in
Philadelphia, succeeding Bishop John
J. McCort, recently appointed bishop
coadjutor of Altoona. The rectorship
is irremovable. Monsignor Fisher is
vicar general of the diocese of Phila-
delphia. In the absence of a bishop
he stands next to Archbishop Dough-
erty in ecclesiastical rank in the arch-
diocese. He was born in Boalsburg,
this county, in 1856, and is a broth-
Monsignor
er of the late Dr. P. S. Fisher, of Zi- |
on. He was educated at Franklin and
Marshall college and the year after
his graduation was principal of the
Altoona High school, at the same time
studying for Protestant Episcopal
orders but in the end embraced Cath-
olicism.
He entered the seminary of St.
Charles Borromeo, and after a short
course there was sent to the American
college, Rome, and was ordained to
the priesthood, June 19th, 1886. Re-
turning to Philadelphia, he was ap-
pointed a professor in the seminary
of St. Charles Borromeo. In 1890, up-
on the opening of the Catholic High
school for boys he was made its first
rector, which position he occupied un-
til December, 1901, when he was ap-
pointed to the irremovable rectorship
of St. John the Evangelist.

Centre County Over the Top for Sus-
quehanna University.
Centre county has again gone over
the top in a money-raising campaign,
this time on its quota of the half mil-
lion dollar endowment fund for Sus-
quehanna University. Centre coun-
ty’s quota was $13,000 and the amount
raised amounted to $13,765. Frank
M. Crawford was the group leader for
Centre county. The Bellefonte church
raised the largest amount of any
church in the county, the campaign
here being in charge of W. C. Coxey,
who had as his assistants J. E. La-
Barre and Mrs. W. G. Emerick. In-
cluded in the fund is a special contri-
bution of $500 which is not credited
specially to any church. The amount

No. 1, Roy Grove, Charles Chandler, ' 1919,
What the Fishermen Got.
Very few reports of the opening |
day of the trout fishing season were
at hand when the “Watchman” went
to press last week, but the opening
to be, witnessed some good catches.
Probably the nicest basket brought |
into Bellefonte was by Patsy Bath-
urst, who got his limit of twenty-five.
They ranged in size from 9 to 193
inches in length. The trout were
caught up Spring creek and as that is |
Patsy’s favorite haunt he knows pret- |
ty well just where to go.
Joe Thal was another fisherman
who got his limit up Spring creek,
while two others were reported as
having been equally successful. On
the other hand, there were many fish-
ermen on that stream who got only
cne and two and some none.
W. C. Cassidy, Charles Anderson
and J. H. Decker fished Logan’s
branch in the neighborhood of the
hatchery and each one got the limit,
but as many trout had been put into
that stream from the hatchery last
fall, it was probably this stock that
caused the good fishing.
Rev. Wilson P. Ard, pastor of the
Lutheran church, is pretty generally
but if the report that leaked into this
office is correct he is also a good fish-
er of trout, as it is said that he and
Frank M. Crawford came home from
Pennsvalley, each with their limit.
Scores and scores of fishermen went
to Fishing creek to try their luck but
most of them were disappointed with
the kind of fishing they found there.
There were no big catches reported
and few that even gave consolation
for the hard work of the fishermen.
Stories are being spread broadcast
that fishermen in Centre county on the
opening day did not regard the law of
keeping the little ones. It is reported
that instead of putting them back in-
to the stream, which is now against
the law, they threw them into the
bushes or somewhere out of sight,
which is even a worse way of break-
ing the law than putting them back |
into the stream. Just how much
truth there is in these stories we do
not know, but we do believe that no
true sportsman was guilty of any
such thing.
Tyrone Division Has World’s Record
for Freight Hauled.
Residents of Bald Eagle valley have
become so accustomed to seeing one
long train following another up and
down the Bald Eagle railroad that!
they take it as a matter of course but !
few people realize the immense ton- !
nage of freight handled over that sin-
gle track road every year. And it was
probably interesting news to railroad !
men themselves to learn when the rec-
ords had been made up.for the year
that the Tyrone division,
which includes as its twe main arte-
ries the Bald Eagle Valley and the
Tyrone and Clearfield branch, had es-
tablished a world’s record for the year
for a single track road, both in the
amount of freight hauled and the ex- '
pense of operation. The following ta-
ble will show how the Tyrone division
compared with other divisions on the
road:

Swan on the Wing.
Reedsville, April 21.—A large swan |
created considerable excitement here
on Monday when it circled over the |
village several times and dropped into '
the rzservoir from which the town ob- |
tains its water supply, where it re-!
mained for the balance of the day.!
The bird is pure white, except for
black bill and legs, and its aquatic |
sports were quite interesting to the
many who viewed the bird. It is said
to be one that escaped from the Boal
estate at Boalsburg, Pa.
Possibly Major Boal is just training
the swan to carry his political mes-
sage to the voters of the Twenty-first
congressional district in his campaign
for district delegate to the Republican
national convention, and was trying it
out in a flight across the Seven moun-
tains to Reedsville.
Several years ago young wom-
en everywhere went wild over the fad
of green stockings, and a girl wasn’t |
in the swim if she didn’t have at least
one pair for sport dress. And the
men all admitted that they looked
pretty nice, too, but they weren't in it |

ings” and all.
From the above it will be seen that

and bringing a delegation of two hun-
dred Knights. Fifty or more visitors |
are expected from Renovo and Lock
Haven, to arrive in Bellefonte on the

Notice to Tax Payers.
The school teachers of Bellefonte
are asking for an increase in their
salaries for next year, amounting to
25% of their present salaries.
As this will entail an increase in the
tax levy for school purposes, the tax
payers are being asked through post .
cards, with return cards attached,
whether or not they favor such in-
crease. It is hoped that as many of !
the property owners as possible will ,
sign and return these cards, so that a
correct survey of the opinions of those .
interested may be obtained.

From all indications a large
delegation of Odd Fellows from Belle:
fonte and vicinity will take advantage
of the special train next Tuesday and
go to Milton for the annual Odd Fel-
lows reunion.

Jaw Bone Broken by Kick of a Horse. : RJ. Schenck ve.
Charles Brown, a young farmer
who only recently moved from Pleas-
ant Gap to the Keen-Jamison farm
west of Millheim, is in the Bellefonte
hospital with the one side of his face
crushed and nose broken as the result
of the kick of a young horse he was
in the act of hitching in the plow last
Inasmuch as
there was no one with Mr. Brown at
the time he was kicked it is not known
definitely just how it happened. At
all events he was able to take his
team to the barn and stable it him-
self, then went to the house and sum-
moned a doctor. An examination dis-
closed the fact that his upper jaw was
badly shattered and his nose crushed.
He was promptly brought to the
Bellefonte hospital where a portion of
the splintered jaw bone was removed
"and the balance wired in place and it
"was reported yesterday that he is get-
ting along all right.

fact that there has been more or less
discussion as to the advisability of re-
moving the trees at the Aiken corner
on account of the building of the state
highway on Bishop street, and inas-
much as there is considerable objec-
tion to having it done by the proper-
ty owners the Street committee and
borough manager were asked to con-
fer with officials of the Highway De-
partment and contractor Murphy and
find out if it isn’t possible to leave the
trees stand.
Mr. Harris also called attention to

position can be made of it and report
tat next meeting.

born in Tioga county, this State, of
Russian parents, who later moved to
DuBois, and it was there Theda grew
to womanhood. Her mother, Mrs.

Monday of last week and in addition
to Theda left ten other children to
perpetuate the family history.
