ter duplicate and $5.00 for water from
the Walter L. Main show. The com-
mittee also reported that the steam
pump is still being used at the water
i works as the electric motor has not
| yet been repaired.
| The Fire and Police committee pre-
. sented the burgess’ check for $92.00
for licenses collected. The committee
'yeported that the fire alarm had been
connected up with the Commercial tel-
; ephone exchange and all alarms in the
future can be sounded direct from
there. Report was also made of the
| fact that Mr. Clevenstine has offered
‘the committee the right to install a
! switch in his bakery connecting with
' the fire alarm and all calls on the Bell
! phone made to his store would result
'in a prompt sounding of the alarm.
| The matter was left in the hands of
| the committee with power to act.
| The Finance committee asked for
| the renewal of notes for $1,500, $2,000
| and $3,000, all of which were author-
tized.
Mr. Harris stated that a day or two
{ago he went over the Pruner tract of
[land in Taylor township which Pitts-
| burgh gentlemen are desirous of pur-
' chasing for a game preserve and after
| seeing it he is satisfied that the price
| offered is sufficient. Mr. Cunningham
i stated that the borough, in the ordi-
{nance providing for the sale of the
i land, should not only reserve all min-
jeral rights but also include a stipu-
i lation that the purchasers would not
interfere with the taking out of such
minerals, in the event any is unearth-
ed at any time. A resolution was then
passed that the ordinance be so
amended and published.
At this juncture Mr. Fauble, who is
a member of the committee appoint-

of Centre county.
——Williamsport and Altoona pa-
pers on Monday evening carried a sto-
ry that William H. Garman, of Belle-
fonte, while out fishing on Spring
creek last Friday found a pocketbook
containing fifty-five dollars. Ques-
tioned as to the story Mr. Garman
stated that the book may have con-
tained fifty-five dollars at one time
but it was entirely empty of all coin
of the realm when he found it. The
story probably grew out of the report
that some woman last week lost a
pocketbook in Bellefonte containing
fifty-five dollars, and if it was the
book found by Mr. Garman somebody
had abstracted the cash then thrown
the book into the creek.

‘ed three times, twice in the Cambria
county courts and the last time in
Blair county. The first two verdicts
were set aside by the Supreme court
and it is just possible another attempt
will be made to save his life through
intercession to the higher court. But
any action that may be taken will
have to be at once as the date of elec-
trocution is now only three days
away.
Bellefonters have had a prac-
tical demonstration of “bringing
home the bacon” this week. Most
every adult reader of the “Watch-
man’ can recall the time when bacon
| was ordinarily called flitch, especially
‘among residents in the country dis-
whether council has the legal right to :
lay a special tax for the purchase of
tricts, and it was probably the most
despised portion of the hog, outside of
its value as a lard producer. But
: such equipment, but so far he had not gradually it came into favor as bacon
gotten the statement.
that Mr. Bower had written to the Un-
“derwriter’s association in Philadelphia
and asked them just what kind of
equipment Bellefonte needed to put
its fire department on a first-class
efficiency basis, but so far he has had
‘no reply. Mr. Fauble stated that so
far as he is concerned he advocates
the purchase of only the very best
equipment made.
President Walker stated that there
isn’t any question as to the sentiment
' of the council regarding the necessity
of the best equipment obtainable, the
‘only reason for any hesitancy is the
| condition of the borough finances. He
. also called attention to the fact that
1 Bellefonte faces the proposition of a
sewage disposal plant which will mean
ran expenditure running up into the
{ hundreds of thousands of dollars, so
| that it behooves council to go very
i carefully in the matter of increasing
the already heavy taxation. He stat-
red that the millage now is in the
i neighborhood of fifty, and to purchase
the fire equipment desired will require
an additional twelve mills.
Both Mr. Harris and Mr. Cunning-
{ham thought it would be unwise to
purchase two triple combination
pumpers at once, especially without
knowing if they would be the best for
Bellefonte.
stated that if such pumpers were pur-
chased it would necessitate increasing
the size of the connection with every
fireplug in town, which would mean an
expense of anywhere from $15,000 to
$25,000.
Mr. Richard argued that council
should go on record one way or anoth-
er as to being in favor of or opposed
to the purchase of the new apparatus
and he therefore made a motion that
council purchase the apparatus need-
ed if the borough solicitor decides
they have a legal right to do so. Con-
siderable discussion followed, council
being about evenly divided as to the
wisdom of passing such a motion with-
out knowing what power they might
have to act. Finally one of the coun-
cilmen suggested the advisability of
waiting for the decision of the bor-
ough solicitor and also the informa-
tion from the Underwriter’s associa-
tion as to just the kind of apparatus
Bellefonte should have, then call a
special meeting of council to take ac-
tion. With this understanding Mr.
Richard withdrew his motion.
On motion $50.00 was appropriated
to Gregg Post to help defray the ex-
penses of Memorial day.
Bills to the amount of approximate-
ly one thousand dollars were approved
after which council adjourned to meet
at the call of the pesident.
Mr. Cunningham further.
He also stated | and only two years ago was about
the most costly part of the hog. In
fact up until Saturday of last week
bacon was selling in Bellefonte at 35
cents the pound. On Saturday butch-
er John Eckel got in a barrel of bacon
| which he immediately marked down
|
i
to 20 cents. Butcher L. H. Gettig al-
i so got in a barrel and he promptly
went Eckel one better and marked his
down at 17 cents. Then Eckel came
down to 16, and lovers of bacon were
in hopes the meat war would continue
until they could literally “bring home
the bacon” without the expenditure of
much money. But sixteen cents was
the low price, and as that was less
than half the price it sold at last
week, considerable of the bacon was
gobbled up. In addition to bacon lard
is also taking a slide down hill and is
now being sold at some places in
Bellefonte at 12 cents a pound.

Sent to Penitentiary for Robbing
Brother-in-Law.
Thomas Gotwalt, of Snow Shoe, who
was arrested about a month ago for
robbing his brother-in-law, Republican
county chairman David Chambers, of
something like eighteen hundred dol-
lars in cash and Liberty bonds, went
into court last Thursday and plead
guilty to the charge. It also devel-
oped that the man was no stranger in
court, as on a previous occasion he
had appeared on a charge of non-sup-
port preferred by his wife. At that
time he was ordered to pay a certain
sum monthly to his wife’s support, but
after doing so a few months fell down
by the wayside. In addition, it is al-
leged, he became enamored with
another girl and it was probable this
fact assisted in his downfall. Judge
Quigley asked him if he didn’t think
it a pretty low-down trick to steal
from his brother-in-law, especially
when the latter had taken him into
his own home, and given him work,
and Gotwalt admitted that it was and
maintained that he wouldn’t do it
again,
Notwithstanding the fact that Got-
walt appeared quite penitent the court
told him that he couldn’t overlook his
act but would have to punish him, and
the sentence imposed was one dollar
fine, costs of prosecution and two
years in the western penitentiary.
This was something Gotwalt didn’t ex-
pect and he almost collapsed under the
pronouncement. Later he plead with
the court to remit the penitentiary
sentence, maintaining that he knew
“Davy didn’t want him to go to the
pen,” but the court refused to remit
and Gotwalt was taken to Pittsburgh
on Saturday by sheriff Dukeman., .

Five Nurses Graduated from Belle-
fonte Hospital.
The annual exercises incident to the
graduation of nurses from the Belle-
fonte Hospital Training School were
held in the court house last Friday
night and notwithstanding the severe
storm that prevalied at the hour of
assembling the auditorium was filled
with those interested in the graduates
and the hospital.
After the board of trustees and
members of the ladies auxiliary had
entered from the library and taken
places within the bar the processional
was started and entered the room
from the main entrance. First the
medical and surgical staff, then the
superintendent and her assistants,

Mr. Tompkins was convict-

nurses’ alumnae. At the bar the
graduates left the procession and took
the places arranged for them before
the judicial bench where one draped
chair had been placed in memory of
Miss Maloy who entered training with
this class and died in her first year.
Geo. R. Meek, president of the board,
presided. After the invocation by
Rev. M. De P. Maynard, of the Epis-
copal church, Mrs. Krader sang “Il
Bacio” in her usual brilliant style, and
then the Rev. Wilson P. Ard, of the
Lutheran church, delivered the com-'
mencement address. It was really a
commencement oration of the kind
that we seldom hear these days of
practical, plain talks and was thor-
oughly enjoyed by everyone there.
His theme was “Service” and by weav-
ing the essentials of service, devotion
to duty, cheerfulness, intelligence,
ete., into a beautiful word designed
tapestry he rose to oratorical heights
that were quite forceful.
After the address a trio, composed
of Milan and Cecil Walker and James
P. Seig, sang the Winter song splen-
didly and then the president made a
statistical report of the hospital’s
work for the year and presented di-
plomas to Misses Grace Vallimont,
Mary Royer, Margaret Young, Mary
Smith and Ida Mong, the graduates.
A song by Miss Cecelia Moersch-
bacher, a new comer into the field of
local soloists and with a charming
soprano voice, followed and the audi-
ence was dismissed.
A reception and dance for the grad-
uation class followed. It was tender-
ed by the ladies of the auxiliary.
During the absence of the nurses
from the hospital their work was car-
ried on by a corps of graduate nurses.

Among Those Who Are Ill.
Word has been received in Belle-
fonte of the serious illness of S.
Durbin Gray Jr., at Mont Alto.
Gray, his mother, is with her son at
the sanitarium.
Mrs. Ebe, who is better known here
as Miss Martha Shoemaker, is a sur-
gical patient in a Pittsburgh hospital,
having been taken suddenly ill last
week.
Hiram Fetterolf, watchman at the
Centre County bank, was taken vio-
.lently ill last Friday afternoon and for
some hours his condition was consider-
ed very serious. The trouble was di-
agnosed by his physician as an affec-
tion of the heart, and while he is now
resting a little easier he will be com- :
pelled to take life easy for some time
to come, and avoid any strenuous ex-
ercise. Mr. Fetterolf has been an at-
tache of the Centre County bank for
many years and has always been so
faithful in the discharge of all his du-
ties that he will be greatly missed at
that institution.
Mr. Jacob Smith is confined to bed
in his home on Spring street, the re-
sult of having taken a sprained ankle
too lightly and undertaking to contin-
ue his wok before it had healed.
Curtin Furnace Destroyed by Fire.
Fire last Thursday night, or rather
early Friday morning, burned the
bridge house and the major part of the
casting house at the Curtin furnace,
at Curtin. The furnace had not been
in blast for some time, so that there
was no fire anyways near it. The
flames were discovered about three
o’clock in the morning and spread so
rapidly that it was with considerable
difficulty they were overcome. While
the origin is unknown it is generally
believed that the buildings were either
set on fire maliciously or that tramps
were making a night of it at the fur-
nace and carelessly started the fire
The loss is considerable, as the build-
ings will have to be rebuilt before the
furnace can again be put in blast, and
there was no insurance.
Dedication of Monument to 125th
Regiment.
The monument erected by the asso-
ciation of the 125th regiment to the
