!
Bellefonte seems to have dropped
into an epidemic of fires and if it were
not for the fact that the origin of all
of them can practically be accounted
| for fearsome people might be led to’
! think that a ‘firebug” was abroad.
{ The Titan Metal company fire occur-
‘red between one and two o’clock last
. Friday morning, and an unsolved mys-
tery is that just about two hours pre-
| vious the firemen were called out by a
false alarm. Shortly after midnight
‘an alarm was sounded in response to
the call of a woman who stated that
| the house occupied by the George Fu-
| rey family on east Linn street was on
fire. The firemen responded and when
' they got there not only failed to find
any fire but found the family all
i asleep. Who sent in the alarm has not
yet been discovered.
Of course the firemen all went home
and to bed, and at two o’clock another
alarm was sounded. This time it
proved to be the Titan plant. The
firemen responded as quickly as pos-
sible but by the time they got there
the flames, which had originated in
the large frame building next the rail-
road, had gained such headway that it
was impossible to overcome them; es-
pecially as there was a scarcity of
water in the pipe leading from the bor-
ough plant and no place in the creek
where the engine could get a sufficient
depth of water to cover their suction
hose. The result was the building
which housed the machine shop and
warehouse was destroyed as well as
the boiler room, engine house and
blacksmith shop.
Someone telephoned the Lock Ha-
ven fire department for assistance and
they sent up their White chemical
truck and pumpers, making the run
here in forty-nine minutes, but their
services were not needed as all the
above-mentioned buildings were al-
ready in ashes and the fire was under
control.
Titan company officials estimate
their loss at from $75,000 to $100,000, !
a good part of which was in valuable
Of course the loss is
mostly covered by insurance, and as
soon as the latter is adjusted the burn-
ed buildings will be rebuilt. The
worst feature of the fire is the de-
struction of the power house which
will naturally put the main plant out
of commission until it is rebuilt, thus
throwing the workmen out of employ-
ment.
THE TIRE AT THE BLANCHARD'S,
At twenty minutes of four o’clock
on Sunday moning another alarm was
sounded and this time it proved to be
the residence of John Blanchard Esq.,
on west Linn street. The fire evident-
ly started from the grate in the room
on the west side of the house and
burned right up. between the weather-
boarding and the studding to the roof.
The flames were discovered almost at
the same time by Mrs. John Curtin
and Mrs. Sebring. John Curtin dress-
ed quickly and ran across the street
to the house but by that time both Mr.
and Mrs. Blanchard were up dressing.
Mr. Curtin secured the garden hose |
and attempted to play water on the
flames but it was at once evident that
it was a job for the firemen and an
alarm was sent in. Notwithstanding
the fact that the firemen got there
promptly they could not extinguish
the fire until the upper part of the
house was badly damaged for the rea-
son that they couldn't get at the
flames. The fire had probably been
burning for hours and had crawled not
only up to the roof but around the
sides without breaking out anywhere
and it was not until the flames burst
out in the attic that the firemen made
much headway.
Much of the furniture was carried
out and while the fire did no great
destruction on the inside of the house
below the attic the greater part of it is
thoroughly water-soaked. It is just
possible that so much damage was
done in the walls of the house, espe-
cially on the west side, that a good
‘part of it will have to be torn down in
order to repair it properly.
As regards the loss Mr. Blanchard
in a statement to the “Watchman”
said that the way the fire had eaten
through the walls of the house he con-
‘sidered it a total loss, as it would
hardly be safe to undertake to repair
it. As to the exact value, he was un-
able to give figures, but he also stated
| that the property was well insured.
| They had had a log fire on the hearth
| Saturday evening and it is presumed
| that the fire started from it as inves-
tigation since shows that the studding
'and joists were set into the fire place
with only half a brick protection from
the fire flues.
Chandelier to be Given Away.
The “Watchman” office has a good
bronze chandelier, equipped with six
lights for either gas or kerosene
lamps, which will be given without
charge to any church or school in Cen-
tre county desiring same. First to

We still have a number of sets of
the history, “Pennsylvania at Gettys-
burg,” which we will give to any
school in the county desiring same.
——Discouraged in trying to fight
fires with their present apparatus
members of the Logan fire company
have issued a call for a public meet-
ing to be held in the court house this
(Friday) evening for the purpose of
devising some means whereby they
can secure a triple pumper. The four
costly fires which occurred in the past
two weeks have aroused the firemen
to the need of more up-to-date equip-
ment and the Logan boys are at least
going to make an effort to get it.

HIGH SCHCOLS TRACK MEET.
Scores of Boys and Girls Compete in
Athletic Events on Hughes Field.
While the lowering clouds and
threatening rain undoubtedly kept
many young athletes away from the
first annual High schools athletic
Saturday, under the auspices of the
Centre County Athletic Association,
over half of the more than two hun-
dred entries were present and the var-
ious contestants entered the events
with a vim and determination to do |!
their best to win. Of course it was
impossible for every boy and girl to
be first but they all deserve great
credit for trying to be.
The program provided for two
' classes of events, those in Class A be-
ing the High schools of Philipsburg,
! State College and Bellefonte, and the
| classical year did not end until May
| first it was unfair to assume that only
i three charges had or would pay their
| assessment in full. In fact most if not
"all the charges in Centre county that
| were given as delinquents have paid in
full and Bellefonte has overpaid.

Vocational school at Spring Mills. In
Class B were the High schools of Cen-
tre Hall, Howard, Port Matilda, Mill-
heim,
Hall in Class B, but while the stu-
dents from the other schools failed to
win they at least put pep into the con-
tests and made the winners do their
very best.
Considering the fact that the con-
testants were boys and girls, ranging
in age from fourteen to eighteen years
they ave entitled to a lot of credit for
the records they made. All of them
were very good and some exceptional-
ly so. In Class A William Waite was
the biggest point maker for Belle-
fonte, having scored first in all the
dashes. Mary Katz, of Bellefonte,
won first in the fifty yard dash for
girls. In Class B, Centre Hall won
first place mainly through the good
work of its girl athletes. Members of
the Rural Life Club, of State College,
acted as officials and did it in such an
impartial and business-like way that
there was no question as to any deci-
sion made.
All in all it was a most interesting
meet and should be made an annual
affair. Following is a complete sum-
“mary of the finals in each event, the
‘first, second and third winners being

| question at this time is the exact place
i where the unloading will be done.
! Heretofore it has always taken place |
| right on High street at the depot, but
tif the show is to be given on the old:

‘of the unloading may be done down
there, although most of it will likely
: take place in Bellefonte. The show
: people will erect their tents on Sunday
“and get everything in readiness for
i Monday’s exhibition, then take it easy
"until time for the big parade on Mon-
day. Reports from towns where the
show has already appeared this season

Newspaper Men to be Guests of State
College.
Newspaper editors and publishers
all over Pennsylvania have been invit-
ed to spend the week-end at State Col-
lege as guests of the College. The
| gathering will be entirely informal
and will consist of a get-together
gathering this (Friday) evening at
the University club, when the news-
paper men will have an opportunity
of making each other’s acquaintance.
Tomorrow every opportunity will be
afforded the visiting editors to look
over every department of the College.
The editors will be entertained at the
various fraternity and club houses.

Union Cemetery Being Put in Fine
Shape.
Work is now well under way to-
ward improving and beautifying the
Union cemetery of Bellefonte, the
final sleeping place of all our old-time
citizens, and when the work is com-
pleted as now planned it will be a
credit to any community. The entire
cemetery has been mowed and weeds
and debris removed. In the old por-
tion of the cemetery the surface is be-
ing leveled and stones reset. This
work will be continued until all the old
part has been put in good shape. The
new portions of the cemetery will also
be cleaned up and the grass mowed
often enough to keep it in condition.
Several trees that are in the way will
be removed and the driveways im-
proved.
This work is now being done under
the supervision of the cemetery board
and is entirely apart from the season-
al or perpetual care work. Ladies of
the town are now engaged in raising
a fund for the perpetual care of those
lots in which are buried members of
families who have all passed away, or
who have left this vicinity. This is
initial to the hope that in time a suf-
ficient fund can be accumulated to put
the entire cemetery under perpetual
care.
But this will naturally be some time
in the future, and until that time ar-
rives it will be necessary to make the
annual charge for the care of lots.
Quite a number of families have al-
ready paid for the care of their lot
this summer, but there are also many
who have not done so, and if they
want their lot in shape for Memorial
day they should remit to the secretary
of the board, S. Kline Woodring, at
once.

Air Pilot Killed.
. J. T. Christensen, one of the most
reliable pilots on the air mail route
betwen New York and Chicago, was
‘killed instantly at Cleveland, Ohio,
last Friday when his motor stopped
while attempting to make a landing
and in preference to landing in the
street and endangering the life of oth-
ers he undertook to volplane to the
‘ river, but didn’t quite reach it and his
. plane collided with a railroad viaduct
and crashed to the railroad a crumpled
mass of wreckage. The gas tank also
exploded and Chirstensen’s body was
bly burned before it could be remov-
Led. :
: hristensen was of Swedish nation-
ality and was only twenty-one years
old. Up until several weeks ago he
flew the New York to Cleveland route
for six months and was quite well
. known in Bellefonte, having frequent-
ly stopped here over night, and some-
times longer. He was married two
vears ago to a young lady of Nebras-
ka and had only recently purchased a
cosy little home in the suburbs of Chi-
cago, in which city he made his head-
quarters since beeing transferred to
the Cleveland-Chicago route. The un-
fortunate pilot held three speed rec-
ords in the aera mail service, having
made the through flight of 741 miles
from Chicago to New York, in 5 hours
and 31 minutes.
