Will Open for Business in the Hand- somely Remodeled Structure Tomorrow. Alinost nine months tc the day “rom the time the Bellefonte Trust company was moved out of its old lo- cation on the southeast corner of the Diamond for the purpcse of remodel- ing the building it will be back at the old stand doing business as of yore. To be cxact the banking equipment was moved on Good Friday (March * 25th) to the Harter building on the north side of the court house yard and tomorrow morning, December 24th, the handsomely remodeled building will be thrown open to the pubiic. For a year or more prior to the act- ual start of the work the Trust com- ‘pany officials had been considering the question of remodeling their building. The old banking quarters were too small and in order to spread out it was necessary to take in the adjoin- ing room. Plans were submitted by New York archiccts but they were not considered available. Dennison & Yirons, of New York, whose specialty is bank architecture, were invited to submit plans and were admonished to conform to no particular style. what was desired more than anything else was an interior that would be simple, attractive and impressive. The | plans were submitted and approved, | contract for remodeling the awarded to the Shamokin Lumber and Construction william Snyder, the man who erccted the Bellefonte silk mill, was placed in and the . building | charge of the work and it was hoped | at the time to have the job done in six months, but unusual delay in receiv- ing material {or the interior equip- { ment caused a delay of three months. : But now that the building is com- pleted it is a credit to Bellefonte. In fact it is a modern small scale, and when there tomorrow morning to transact business they will be pleasantly sur- prised at what has been accoraplish- ! ed. | Entering the bank through the large double plate glass doors on Al- legheny street the visitor will pass ! through a spacious entrance hall cov- ! ered with a heavy rubber mat to the main lobby, where he cannot help but bz impressed with the spaciousness of he building. At the right of the en- trance hall is the ladies room, with lavatory attached. To the left of the be used for private consultation with bank officials. Adjoining this is the Sadia Cully a three foot scparetes this office frem the lobby of the bank, so that that official will al- ways be accessible {o patrons. Ad- joining the secretary’s office and in ident’s office. The principal working space is along the north side of the bank, while in the northeast corner is the beok-keeving machine rcom. There are seven windows for pa- | trons of the institution. The window nearest the secretary and treasurer’s i office is marked “notes.” Next in or- der are two teller’s windows, then a savings window, ali on the north side. Around the corner on the cast are comes a small room for lady patrons with a window marked ladies teller. On the south side of the room, in the ' rear of the lobby, is a small rooin which is for the use of the public in | carrying on a private conversation or to write letters. room are two coupon booths, where patrons can take their safety depos- it boxes for the purpose of clipping coupons or locking over private pa- pers.

The floor of the lobby is of pink Ten- nessee marble while the partition be- tween the lobby and main banking room is of Tavernelle (Italian) mar- ble surmounted by heavy bronze. All the grill work is bronze. The doors, desks and all the woodwork used in the interior finishing is solid mahog- any. Over the vault and machine also furnished quite luxuriously. Alongside the main vault is a small- | bank’s bocks. Both vaults extend to | the basement and these lower vaults i will be used for storing bank records, cld papers, ete. The basement is about as complete as the banking room. In the front to the right is lo- cated the big heating plant, while un- der the corner of the bank is the coal room, large enough to house a carload of coal. Leading out from the front of the heating plant is a spacious al- | leyway for taking out the ashes. This alleyway opens on High street and an automatic lift will be put there to hoist the ashes out. A fireproof door | divides the boiler room fiom the east- ! ern part of the cellar, where there is a large room which has not been de- signed for any special purpose.

One thing that especially impress- i ed the writer is that every arrange- ment has been made for the comfort, convenience and efficiency of the em- i ployees of the bank. At every win- | | dow is a large money drawer, as well : as other drawers and bookrack. The lighting system is also the most up- | | to-date that could be desired, as all | ; the lights at the counter and on desks {are thoroughly screened so that the ; workers will not be blinded by the di- | rect glare. Draperies have been hung iat all the windows which can be op- | erated either up and down or from | the centre out. Of course the bank is equipped with {a burglar alarm system, complete in I every detail. A telephone system has | also been installed so that the secre- | tary and treasurer can communicate to any one in the bank from his desk. { A monster clock hangs in the direec- | tor’s room which will control the { clock over the main vault and also | one to be placed in the wall on the | corner of the bank. Under this latter i clock will be the words “The Belle- ‘ fonte Trust Co.,” in letters seven inch- es high. As stated at the beginning of this article the Shamokin Lumber and Construction company had entire charge of the work of remodeling. ' The marble was furnished by the B. L. Marble Co. The interior furnish- i ings were the product of the Taylor- Palmer Co., of Milwaukee, Mich. The heating and plumbing was done by C. F. Tate, of Bellefonte. The painting by A. L. McGinley. The electric work by R. C. Witmer while the furniture was supplied by F. E. Naginey. The Bellefonte Trust company has a capitalization of $125,000, with sux- i plus and undivided profits totalling 1 $65,000. The officers are J. L. Spang- i ler, president; C. T.

But the fact that you perchance are not a depositor need not deter you from visiting the bank. The bank officials are anxious to have every- body call and see them in their new and they also wish it tnown that the public at large is wel- | come at all times to use the bank’s ac- : commodations and conveniences, { whether they are patrons or not.

Two Foreigners, Three Stills, Twen- ty-three Barrels of Mash and Fifty-six Bottles Among the Loot. The most complete moonshiner’s outfit so far recorded in this section of the State was captured on Monday morning by state policemen Crouch i and Hughes, of State College, and Cain, of Hollidaysburg, in a house on the Bigelow farm, three miles west of Port Matilda on the road to Phil- ipsburg. Two foreigners who gave their names as Paul Cicivich and John Cracey, were caught red-handed, making moonshine whiskey. The out- fit included three fifty gallon stills, oil stoves on which the mash was cooked, twenty-three barrels of mash, fifty-six bottles of whiskey, some of it labelled “Golden Wedding” and stamped with labels marked “bottled in spring of 1902.” The outfit also in- cluded an up-to-date rectifying and blending process. The moonshine as it came from the still was 130 proof but was reduced to 100 proof by the addition of distilled water, put through the rectifying process and blended through a charcoal filter. For some time past the state police have had knowledge that a big plant was being operated up in that section of the county but were never able to locate it. On Monday morning they went to that locality determined to make a thorough search and in doing so just happened to visit the house where the still was located. The two men in charge offered no resistance, but maintained that they were not the principals in the business. They de- clared that the plant was owned by two men and they were simply work- ing for them. They also declared that they did not know the real names of the owners or where they lived. They were known to them as “Cash” and “Carry.” The foreigners manufactured the whiskey and Cash and Carry marketed the same and paid them for their work. According to the state police the moonshine was made from rye mash and looked to be of a superior quality. It is somewhat lighter in color than the real stuff. The twenty-three barrels of mash were destroyed but all the rest of the outfit was confiscated and, with the two foreigners brought to Bellefonte and locked up in the Centre county jail. Efforts are now being made to discover the real identity of Cash and Carry. . A rather amusing incident transpir- ed just about the time the officers were ready to leave for Bellefonte with their loot. A man whose name has not been made public appeared at the house with a rooster under his arm. He was at first believed to be implicated in running the moonshine plant but stoutly denied the implica- tion, stating that he had come there to trade his rooster on some moon- shine whiskey. Terrific Storm Saturday Night. One of the fiercest wind and rain storms, accompanied by rolling thun- der, ever known at this time of year, occurred shortly before two o'clock on Sunday morning. The strong wind blew in one of the large plate glass windows in Lyon & Co’s store, shat- tering it into fragments. A window was also broken in the High school building. Several panels of the high board fence surrounding Hughes field were blown down and dead limbs were torn from various trees in Bellefonte. Several store awnings were badly torn and a strip of the cornice and roof were torn from the Bush house. Out at Dr. Kirk’s farm a small por- tion of the roof was torn from the house. THE STORM AT CENTRE HALL. Over at Centre Hall the wind tore a portion of the roof off of the house occupied by the miller at Bradford & Son’s mill; tore the roof from the big coal shed of Bradford & Son, the tim- bers being carried across the street knocking part of the cornice off of G. O. Benner’s house and breaking the windows in Clyde Bradford’s house. The entire top, roof, timbers and all, was torn from Will Odenkirk’s barn. A threshing machine was in the barn floor and Mr. Odenkirk candidly be- lieves that the weight of the machine kept the barn from blowing away. ee Christmas Stockings for The Junior Red Cross has been ask- ed to help provide Christmas cheer pitals by filling Christmas stockings for them. men are in hospitals now* and Prof. project both as a service to the men and as a lesson in patriotism for the school children.
