Doings of the Borough Dads.
Six members were present at the
regular meeting of borough council on
Monday evening. Attorney John M.
Keichline was present and protested
against the action of Harry Kern,
who is erecting a new hog pen on
Burrows street within a very short
distance of a double house owned by
Mr. Keichline. The matter was re-
ferred to the Street committee for in-
vestigation and report as to Mr.
Kern’s legal rights.
A communication was received from
the supervisor of the Lewisburg
branch of the Pennsylvania railroad
calling attention to the fact that the
wall along Mill street was so close to
the railroad tracks that it made it
very dangerous for railroad men, one
employee being slightly hurt there a
short time ago in jumping off of the
Jocomotive. The supervisor offered to
cooperate with the borough in any
way decided upon to lessen the dan-
ger. The question was raised by sev-
eral members of council as to the lia-
bility of the borough, as the street
and wall were both there long before
the railroad was built. The matter,
however, was referred to the Street
committee for investigation and re-
port.
A communication was received from
the State Department of Forestry in
which an offer was made to cooper-
ate with the borough in any way de- |
sired to bring about a systematic
planting and care of shade trees with- |
in the borough limits, and also to fur-
nish free of cost, the best kind of
trees for planting. The matter was
referred to the Street committee and
the shade tree commission.
Mr. Harris, of the Street committee,
presented the report of the borough
manager and also a supplementary
agreement executed between the bor-
ough and contractor Frank Murphy
relative to various changes on Pine
street which will be more satisfac-
tory to the property owners along that
thoroughfare, and which will result
in a saving to the borough of approxi-
mately thirteen hundred dollars. The
agreement was approved by council.
The Finance committee presented
the report of the borough treasurer
which showed a balance due that offi-
cial on August 2nd, of $550.30. Au-
thority was also asked for the renew-
al of a note for $2000 for six months
and that a note of the Bellefonte
Trust Company for $3000 be increas-
ed to $7000 for a period of four
months to meet current bills, both of
which were authorized.
Regarding the granite watering
trough that Thomas Beaver has of-
fered to present the borough, after
discussing the matter pretty thorough-
ly, Mr. Knisely made a motion that
the trough be accepted and placed on
the curb in front of the Curtin monu-
ment and council so voted, the ques-
tion of properly placing it being left
to the Street and Water committees
and the borough manager.
Mr. Cunningham again brought up
the question of the vast amount of
water being used by the Titan Metal
company, and stated that careful meas-
urements had been made over a per-
iod of several months and they show-
ed that in the operation of their ex-
trusion press the company used just
fifty gallons of water per minute or
three thousand per hour. This, he
considered too much water to furnish |
for nothing, and he presented a reso-
lution that for the year beginning
August 1st, 1920, and ending July
31st, 1921, the Tital Metal company
be charged five cents a thousand gal-
lons for the first million gallons
used in any one quarter and
three cents a thousand for any addi-
tional ameunt used within said quar-
ter. The resolution passed without a
dissenting vote.
Bills to the amount of $3436.25
were approved and council adjourned.
——OQOver in Philipsburg there was
a slight frost on both Monday and
Tuesday mornings. While no frost
was noticed in Bellefonte the temper-
ature was down very close to the frost
line, and all in all, it' must be admit-
ted that this hasbeen a remarkably
cool summer throughout. If one ex-
treme follows another we ought to
have a very mild winter.
MINGLE.— Mrs. Elizabeth M.
Mingle, widow of the late W. B.
Mingle, of Centre Hall, passed away
at two o’clock on Monday morning
following an illness of only a few
days. In fact last week she enter-
tained her brother, P. G. Yearick, and
her grandson, Philip Mingle, of Phil-
adelphia. They left for home on Fri-
day and that evening she was taken
violently ill with acute indigestion.

ers in the Centre Hall congregation.
She was always interested in the so-
cial welfare of her home community

work in this direction. Although she
had passed the three score years and
ten mark she was still quite active
up to her last illness and always
evinced a deep interest in the welfare
two children, Mrs. Anna E. Hoy and
W. Gross Mingle, both of Philadel-
phia. She also leaves two brothers,
H. H. and P. G. Yearick, both of
Philadelphia, Pa.
i Funeral services were held at her
late home in Centre Hall at 10 o’clock

i granted an indefinite furlough by the
{company and leaving his wife and

' well known merchant of Potter’s Mills,
died at 12:30 o’clock on Sunday night
of tetanus (lockjaw) the first fatal
case that has occurred in the county
in years. Mr. Blauser had been ail-
ing the past two or three years but
his trouble baffled his physicians. He
was able to be around and give a good
part of his time to his business, but
he was far from a well man. About
two weeks ago he became much worse
and last week tetanus developed. Ev-
ery effort to unlock his jaws proved

JODON.—George F. Jodon, for-
i merly a resident of Bellefonte, died at

diseases, the result of an affection
of the kidneys with which he had
suffered the past two years.

| Tyrone Had Costly Fire.
Our neighboring town of Tyrone
had a very disastrous fire on Monday
morning, which burned the Templeton
department store on Pennsylvania
avenue, the McCrory five and ten cent
store, Miss Mabel Taylor’s millinery
store, and Agnew’s photograph studio.
On Logan avenue the business places
which suffered loss were W. A. Rus-
sell’s barber shop, Benjamin H. Jones;
grocery; Fred M. Seeger, restaurant,
‘and the Templeton butcher shop. In
the Templeton building were five
apartments, all occupied, in which the
loss was almost complete. The La-
Mar apartment building adjoining the
Templeton building, was not injured
by fire but considerably damaged by
the water poured onto it to keep down
the flames. Eight families occupied
the apartments and they all suffered
damage from the water.
The fire originated in the rear ware-
room of the Templeton store about 3
“o'clock in the morning, but the origin
is a mystery. The loss is estimated
at a quarter million dollars, not half
covered by insurance. The Temple-
tons were the heaviest losers. The
estimate of their loss is placed at two
{ hundred thousand dollars with eighty-
two thousand insurance.
Evan Blanchard, young son of
Mr. and Mrs. John Blanchard, fainted
and fell on the street near the arm-
ory on Tuesday afternoon, was picked
rup by Mr. Bicketts, the ice man and
| carried home. He was unconscious a
church, a member of the BeMefonte | half hour or more and naturally his
| parents were considerably alarmed as
ito what had happened. He finally re-
gained consciousness but could not
l account for his illness aside from the
fact that he had fainted away. As he
is now getting along all right his sud-
"den attack was likely either the result
of the hot sun or indigestion.

' Work Done by State College Red

During the past three months Mrs.
Maude C. Jones, acting as the trained
nurse representative of the State Col:

been very active in the public health
nursing service of that chapter. She
has been conducting classes and giv-
ing demonstrations in home hygiene
and care of the sick in State College,
Centre Hall, Spring Mills, Lerniont,
Boalsburg, Buffalo Ruan and Pennsyi-
vania Furnace. She has made a to-
“tal of 110 visits during the first month
“of her work, (May) distributed as
‘follows:
Nursing visits, 40; infant welfare
visits, 2; prenatal visits, 2; child
| welfare visits, 2; visits to schools, 3;
home visits to school children, 46, and
other visits, 15.
| On two occasions she spent the
| entire night with patients, these be-
ing for emergency cases. Besides
‘nursing is given to both sexes, all
| ages, all nationalities and in all vari-
‘ties of illness except contagious dis-
leases. A fee of only fifty cents is
required, for each visit, when “amni-
lies are able to pay; otherwise this
Red Cross service is free.
The Red Cross public health nurs-
ing is a nursing service for the bene-
fit of all the people in a community
‘and in this respect differs from or-
dinary nursing, which is usually for
i the benefit of a relatively small num-
ber of people in any community.
Fenn State Freshman Class
Filled.
The freshman class at the Pennsyl-
‘ vania State College is now filled. Sev-
' en hundred and fifty applicants have
' been admitted and it is not yet known
‘how many will have to be turned
;away by lack of necessary teaching
rand classroom facilities. The task of
‘admitting this number was of such pro
| portions as to overshadow the records
| of all previous years. It is estimated
| that applications were received from
{nearly 2000 high and preparatory
| school graduates, resulting in the
{ burning of much midnight oil on the
| part of college officials to properly
and in all fairness make up the per-
{ sonnel of the incoming class.
In placing the limit of new stu-
, dents for the coming year at 750, the
| trustees had only one course to fol-
low—relief for already overcrowded
! classrooms and laboratories. With ev-
i en this number enrolled at Penn State

ment.
