Eight members were present at the regular meeting of borough council on Monday evening. There were no verbal nor written communications. The Street committee reported that the borough manager has men at work making needed repairs on var- ious streets in town. The Water committee reported a number of minor repairs and present- ed the treasurer’s receipt for $303.63, being a payment of the Pennsylvania railroad company for water. The committe: also presented the state- ment of the State-Centre Electric . company on the 1919 water duplicate showing a total of collections and credits of $7288.98, leaving a balance of $5467.64 uncollected on the dupli- cate and water bills. Mr. Cunning- ham stated that borough treasurer Edward F. Gehret had offered to take the uncollected portion of the dupli- cate and collect same for actual cost of doing the work, which would re- lieve the State-Centre company and enable council to give them the 1920 duplicate for collection. Council au- thorized the turning over of the un- collected portion of the 1919 duplicate to the borough treasurer. The Fire and Police committee re- ported the resignation of Jack Robin- son from the police force and the ap-- pointment of Thomas Howley as his successor and council approved the appointment to continue as long as satisfactory services are given. The committee also reported to council that there is some dissatisfaction with the arrangements for sounding the fire alarm and presented a propo- gition for connecting the alarm direct with the telephone exchanges, so that the alarm can be sounded by the oper- ator. Officials of the American Union Telephone company have agreed to make the connections and resident manager Heilecker, of the Bell com- pany, has agreed to take the matter up with the head officials of that com- pany and recommend its adoption. The total cost will be in the neighbor- hood of $150, inasmuch as the State- Centre company has agreed to give the wire required to make the connec- tions at cost. Council authorized the committee to arrange for the connec- tions. The Finance committee requested the renewal of a note for $2000 for six months from September 27th, and also asked that a new note of $8,000 for thirty days be authorized. Mr. Richard stated that the treasurer said that this would be the last new loan required this year and council author- ized it. Mr. Harris, of the Street commit- tee, stated that some definite action should be taken to establish the bor- ough’s rights at the McClure corner on Spring and Logan streets, and the president of council stated that the proper way to do so is to have the borough engineer and borough solic- itor go on the ground and establish the street line, which will probably be done this (Friday) afternoon. The Fire and Police committee re- ported that the borough solicitor had very carefully examined the traffic or- dinance and pronounced it legal and in conformity with the state law, and as such every provision of it can be duly enforced. This being the case the newspapers were requested to give notice to the public in general that hereafter the law will be enforc- ed. So, if you own or drive an auto- mobile it will be a wise move to make yourself acquainted with the various provisions of the ordinance and then drive your car in accordance there- with, otherwise you are likely to get “pinched” and soaked with a fine. Bills approximating $2,000 were ap- proved for payment after which coun- cil adjourned. ——Merrill Lyons, who for some months past has been an assistant in the ticket office of the Pennsylvania railroad company in this place, has been transferred to the freight trans- fer department, Tyrone, leaving for that place on Monday morning. Ac- eording to his present plans he will mot move his family to Tyrone until next spring. Deplorable Death of Well Known Or- viston Woman. Mrs. Rhoda Isabel Graden, wife of Victor Graden, of Orviston, was the victim of a most deplorable accident last Thursday as the result of which she passed away in the Lock Haven hospital om Saturday evening. For some time past Mr. and Mrs. Graden had charge of what is known as the back camp boarding house of the Cen- tre Brick and Clay company, at Or- viston. Quite recently they decided to move into Orviston, as the boarding house was not a very profitable under- taking and in addition they wanted to be in a place where their children could go to school. Friends who visit- ed them on Tuesday and Wednesday found Mrs. Graden looking forward to the change with pleasurable anticipa- tion. Thursday morning the children were sent into Orviston and packing their household. belongings on two clay cars Mr. and Mrs. Graden took leave of the camp and headed for Or- viston. Although the tram road is a little down grade the rails are rather uneven and occasionally the cars would stall on their journey. Mr. Graden would then get off and push and at times his wife would help him. Near the watering tank along the road the cars stailed again and both people took a hand at pushing. But in some way, just as the cars got rightly started Mrs. Graden tripped and fell between the cars, the rear car passing over her. Mr. Graden pulled a mattress from one of the cars and as tenderly as possible got his wife onto it, but it was some time before he could secure assistance to take her to Orviston, from which place she was sent to the Lock Haven hospital. There it was found that she was in- jured internally and though every- thing possible was done to save her life it did not avail and she died on Saturday. Deceased was a daughter of Rhode and Mary V. Shope and was born in Bellefonte on March 14th, 1878, hence was in her forty-third year. Her father died before she was born and while yet a child her mother married Thomas Lyle Shearer, and she grew up as one of the children of the fami- lyy In 1898 she married George Croll and they took up their residence at Orviston. But children came one after another in the Croll family un- til there were nine of them and two years ago, with the cost of living so high, Mrs. Croll volunteered to help out the family income by tak- ing the boarding house at the back camp. In May, 1919, her husband was killed by a fall of clay in the Centre Mrs. Croll gave up the boarding house and went to live with her mother. In March of this year, however, she der to make enough to keep her fami- ly together. Several months ago her mother, Mrs. Mary V.. Shearer, died and soon after that Mrs. Croll mar- ried Victor Graden, of Lock Haven. He survives with nine children, as fol- lows: Mrs. Lola Estright and Mrs. Mary Bowes, both of Orviston; Grace, Elmer, Etta, Gladys, Leonie, Mildred and Beatrice, all at home. She also leaves the following half-brothers and sisters: Frank and Mrs. Margaret McCloskey, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Iva Rote, of Lock Haven; Thomas D., of Pittsburgh; Mrs. Violet M. Tanyer, of Altoona; Mrs. Louis N. Hume, George and Leonard Shearer, of Lock Haven. Mrs. Graden was a member of Orviston Camp No. 58, P. O. S. of A., and was a woman who will be sadly missed by a large circle of friends. Funeral services were held at the home of Mr. Graden’s mother in Loc Haven at 12:30 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, after which the remains were taken to Milesburg for inter- ment beside the body of Mr. Croll. ll ll MILLER.—’Squire John H. Miller, one of the best known residents of Ferguson township, died at his home in the Glades at four o’clock on Tues- day afternoon. While he had not been in the best of health the past year or so he was able to be around until about two weeks ago when he con- tracted a bad cold and complications developed which caused his death at the time above stated. Mr. Miller was born in Ferguson township and was in his seventy-sev- enth year. Practically all his life was devoted to farming with the exception of his several years service in the ar- my during the Civil war, and his farm home in the Glades is one of the best in that section of the county. Mr. Mil- ler’s surviving children are Mrs. Frank Weiland, of Linden Hall; Miss Gertrude, at home; Mrs. Clarence Lemon, at Monessen; J. Sumner Mil- ler, of Pleasant Gap; Blair, of Holli- daysburg, and Miss Maude, at home. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. John Williams, of Pine Grove Mills, and Mrs. Keller, of Linden Hall. Rev. R. M. Campbell will have charge of the funeral services which will be held at ten o’clock this (Fri- day) morning, burial to be made in the Graysville cemetery. i il DIX.—The death of William B. Dix, at his home in Dayton, Ohio, on Sep- tember 9th, came as a great surprise to his many friends in Bellefonte. Al- though ill with uremic poison for eight months, few here knew that his con- dition had become critical. Mr. Dix i. married about thirty years ago who with his twogchildren of a former marriage survive. 1" I i) ZELLER.—Miss Henrietta Caroline Zeller, a sister of W. S. Zeller, of Bellefonte, died at her home in Lock Haven on Saturday afternoon in her Brick and Clay company’s mine and | again took charge of the house in or- | Jerry Shearer, of Orviston; | to Miss Mary Gephart, of Bellefonte, 81st year. {and was born in Lewisburg.

Golf Tournament and Dance at the Country Club. A tri-county golf tournament was played at the Nittany Country club on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and brought to a most enjoyable close with a dinner and dance at the club house last evening. Members of the Nittany club have been working to qualify for several weeks and from the scores turned in Dr. Grover Glenn, Ray H. Smith, AlL Grazier, Rev. Father Downes, Dr. Da- vid Dale and John Curtin were chosen to represent the local players. Ty- rone’s team was made up of Messrs. Taylor, Piper, Cook, McClintock, Franciscus and McClanahan. Fredericks, Griffin and Hurlburt. In Wednesday's play of eighteen holes Bellefonte was leading Lock Ha- ‘ven by 19 holes and Tyrone by 45. Dick Quigley, of Lock Haven, had the lowest individual score with 78 for the eighteen hcles. Dr. Dale was lowest on the Bellefonte team with 84 and Cook was the lowest for Tyrone. The play had not gone far enough when we closed our forms yesterday afternoon to give any definite report of the finals. Missionary Society Meeting. ciety of the Huntingdon Presbytery will meet in the Presbyterian church, Bellefonte, September 29th and 30th, and the two day’s session promises to be full of interest and information.

Centre county Sun- day schools should send a liberal rep- resentation to this convention. An excellent program is being prepared and questions of vital issue at the present time will be discussed. Fog Bound at Centre Hall. The regular mail plane from New York arrived here on schedule yester- day morning, but Beaver field was en- shrouded in fog and a landing could not be made. Consequently the pilot flew back over the mountain and sat down in Stoner’s field, near Centre Hall. Over there there was no fog. The air had been clear as crystal ever since sun-up. Each morning this week there have been heavy fogs over Bellefonte and the New York planes have been forced to stay in the air above the town until it lifted, which has been about 9:30 or 10 o'clock. — Recently the people of Patton gave a banquet in celebration of the eighty-first anniversary of the birth of John A. Schwab, who is still active as president of the Grange National bank of that place. It was a consider- able function in the town of Patton and as the honor guest happened to be the father of Charles M. Schwab a great many celebrities in the business world were gathered around the ban- quetting board. Among the diversions between courses was the introduction of “Asmodeus,” an evil spirit of He- brew mythology, in the person of Wil- liam R. Rees, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Rees, of this place. Asmodeus was seeing things and among them was a greater Patton with nearly four million population. He had a quip or a horoscope for many of the guests and kept them in an uproar for sever- al minutes. Among the guests of note present were Charles M. Schwab and Al. Dinkey, president of the Midvale Steel company. She was a daughter of | Rev. Jonathan and Henrietta Zeller The Woman’s Home Missionary so- | “Cappy Ricks” Was a Fine Show. The Oliver Morosco production of “Cappy Ricks” was the season’s open- er at Garman’s, last Friday evening, and if it was the standard that the new management has set for the win- | ter Bellefonte play-goers may look | forward to much delightful entertain- ! ment. i “Cappy Ricks” is a dramatization i of the stories of Peter B. Kyne, ' ‘that ran in the Saturday Evening ! Post. It is a straight, pure comedy i that relies on action rather than slap- I sticks to “put it across,” as they say "in the theatrical world, and the com- | pany that presented it here certainly ! { got every possibility out of it. Henry Horton, as “Cappy Ricks,” i the wealthy and temperamental old { ship owner, was superb. He was a ‘composite prototype of all the suc- | cessful, irritable, loving, devilish, hard | fisted, generous old men you know. | Only once or twice do we recall hav- 'ing seen his equal in a similar role. i As general manager of “Cappy’s” ! ship line Earl McLellan had a rather ' often seen, worked mostly by voice . and manner, he put the part on a par ‘ with that of the head-liner. | Lew Welch's “Captain Matt Peas- ‘ley” was deftly handled. He looked land acted the part of a real ship cap- : tain. | casion and then rising to the dramat- ‘ic fury that might well overtake a; ! ship’s master while quelling a mutiny : | aboard his boat. . “Cappy’s Sister” but she put so much ‘clever action into it that one almost forgot that the role was not a down : stage one. The other members of the company: | Howard Mérling as “Cecil Bernard,” ‘ Ruth Wheeler as “Florence Ricks,” ‘ Louise Hardenburg, as “Ellen Mur- ray” and James Mullin as “Edward Singleton” were more than capable support. In fact their work was so finished and the entire production so well balanced that it seemed a play without a star. We have given more than usual space to this show. It deserves it. And such a meritorious company should be greeted with crowded houses everywhere, for if it is man- agers may be persuaded to take a lot of the pony ballet enterprises off the road and replace them with clean, con- vulsive comedy such as “Cappy Ricks” affords a vehicle for. Hassinger—Johnson.—Ralph = Has- singer and Miss Nancy Johnson, both of Bellefonte, were married at the Catholic rectory at 8:30 o’clock on Wednesday morning by Rev. Father Downes. They were attended by Har- ry Johnson and Miss Mildred Has- singer.

The Logan fire company, big gray hats, coats and all are going to attend the Firemen’s field day celebra- tion in Lewistown, on Saturday, Octo- ber 2nd. They will take the Odd Fel- lows band along with them. | To recall when last one of our local | fire companies took a grand tour seems almost like delving into the ‘ dark ages. They have sent delegates ! to conventions but to doll the entire ' company up for a trip like this seems i almost like our peerless Logans are ' sliding into second childhood.

It has to do ' with good, old Bill Burns, a long-time ago employee of this office. Bill was a Logan and went with the company to Lock Haven for a Fourth of July celebration. Of course Bill got sous- ' ed, for that’s mostly what he went for. The hang-over lasted two days and when Bill woke up to the fact . that he was out of funds and would have to come home he discovered he ‘had lost his pants. Nothing daunted by a little matter of that sort the blonde printer got by the Comstock ' brigade in Lock Haven and made the afternoon train for home. As the old 5:15 rolled up the valley his hot head was fanned by the breeze at an open window until he began to recover his senses. By the time she rolled into Bellefonte Bill knew the - sensation he would create by getting off togged out in nothing more than a fireman’s hat and a red flannel shirt. | jumped out the car window into the race and swam to shelter under the High street bridge, but he didn’t. He just stayed on the train till it went to Tyrone and came back on the night run when darkness wrapped him in a shroud until he could get to his lodg- ing and into another pair of pants. Yes, they were happy and stirring days and while the firemen events are growing more like pink teas each year we are glad, mighty glad, the Logans are going off for a good time.

On Tuesday evening some unknown autoist in driving along the road near Gillilandtown, struck and instantly killed Eugene Snow, eight-year-old son of William Snow, of Gilliland- town, and then, instead of stop- ping to at least offer assistance, drove off in the gathering darkness before anyone had an opportunity of getting the number of the car. The Snow boy, with other children, was playing along the road and it is just possible that the child attempted to run across the road in front of the car when he was struck and thrown to the side of the road. He was picked up and car- ried into the Snow home, but life was already extinct. The car that hit the boy was on the way towards Snow Shoe, but so far the identity of the driver has not been learned, although the authorities are endeavoring to get trace of the car and owner. The boy will be buried in the Gillilandtown cemetery this afternoon. eee fee e— Roller Skating in the Armory. The armory of Troop L will be opened on Tuesday night, September 28th, from 7 to 10 o'clock for roller skating, which will continue every night thereafter. A committee of Troop L will be in charge and the proceeds will be for the benefit of the Treop. Bryan’s band will furnish the music. The prices will be admission, 10 cents; skates, 15 cents. Patrons will also be permitted to take their own skates. Members of the Troop will not be charged admission. Drill for Troop L will hereafter be held on Monday nights. A American Legion Benefit. The “Jims Girl” company, which gave such a clever performance in the opera house last evening, will give another performance this ' (Friday) evening for the benefit of the Brooks- Doll post of the American Legion of Bellefonte. “Jims Girl” is well worth ' seeing for itself alone, and the addi- tional fact that a portion of the pro- ceeds tonight will go to the American Legion, the organization of Belle- fonte boys who fought in the world | war against Germany, should be in- | ducement sufficient te draw a crowd- | ed house. —Prothonotary Roy Wilkinson has purchased the Charles F.
