Business Transacted by
Borough Council.
Charles Schad appeared before bor-
ough council on Monday evening and
, Stated that he is the owner of some
lots on north Allegheny street and is
arranging to build a house in that lo-
cality. = That Beaver street has never
been opened through that section and
he wanted to know if there is any like-
lihood of its being opened, as he does
not want to build a house where the
street ought to be. The matter was
referred to the Street committee for
investigation and report at next meet-
ing.
John G. Love Esq., secretary of the
Bellefonte board of health, presented
the outlines of two ordinances which
he requested council to enact so as to
give the board proper authority to
abate nuisances and enforce the State
health laws. One of the ordinances
provides for the proper control and
abatement of all kinds of nuisances
and the other for the proper regula-
tion of public eating and drinking
places. The matter was referred to
the Sanitary committee for investiga-
tion and report.
Charles Garbrick entered complaint
. as to the sewer on south Water street
flooding during a recent hard rain and
emptying a portion of its contents in-
to his shop. He also reported that
there is no proper outlet for the sewer
at his property on Willowbank street
and the result is the water washes
out the corner of his yard. The Street
committee was instructed to investi-
gate both complaints.
The Water committee turned in
$5.00 collected on water tax and re-
ported the reading of water meters
for the July quarter.
The Finance committee asked for
the renewal of notes aggregating
$10,000 and the execution of two new
notes for $1,800, which was author-
ized.
Mr. Fauble stated that he had been
approached by several women of the
town who would like council to pro-
vide some plan for the removal of
garbage. He stated that the women
would be willing to pay a nominal
sum per week for the removal of the
garbage and if a sufficient number
would agree to do so a responsible
man might be secured to undertake
the contract for its removal. Action
in the matter was deferred until the
next meeting to give councilmen an
opportunity to find out how many
women will be willing to pay for the i
removal of their garbage.
Mr. Flack entered an emphatic
complaint as to the condition of Lo-
gan street in general, and the urgent
need of crossings and new pavements
in particular. Borough manager J. D.
~ Seibert stated that some portions of
Logan street are bad places to work,
as a woman up there had undertaken
to club him that morning and when
he took the club from her she threat-
ened him with a hot poker. The riat-
ter of the pavements and crossings
was referred to the Street committeé
with instructions to get busy.
Bills to the amount of $1625.31 were,
approved for payment after which
council adjourned.
On Trains 363 Years.
The fourteen passenger conductors
on the Tyrone division of the Penn-
sylvania railroad have a combined rec-
ord of continuous service of 368 years.
In all of that time these men who
work very often under most vexatious
conditions have been disciplined only
two days and that was but for a slight
infraction of the rules of the com-
pany.
The conductors, several of whom are
well known here, with their record of
service, are the following:
W. F. Minary, 42 years; Harry R.
Hicks, 34 years; Harry H. Bell, 31
years; William C. Snyder, 31 years;
Benjamin F. Perks, 31 years; Joseph
A. Halligan, 31 years; James P.
Walsh, 26 years; Paul F. Neff, 23
years; Henry C. Budd, 22 years; Ira
G. Lucas, 21 years; Clarence E. Ha-
vens, 21 years; Joseph J. McKee, 18
years; Fred A. Smith, 16 years; Atlee
G. Davidson, 16 years.
The regular employees at the
Rockview penitentiary have not had a
pay day for six weeks or longer. The
fiscal year of the biennium period cov-
ered by the appropriation ended with
the last day of May and the appropri-
ation bill for maintenance for the en-
suing two years passed by the Legis-
lature not having been signed by the
Governor until the latter part of last
week no money was available for the
payrolls, The probability is, how-
ever, that funds for the pay will soon
be available.
i BLAIR.—Mrs. Mary E. Blair, wife | Centre County Appropriations
of Frank P. Blair, passed away at her
home on north Spring street, Belle-
fonte, on Friday morning following a
year’s illness, though her death was
probably hastened by a stroke of par-
alysis sustained a week previous.
" A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. E.
Entwisle she was born in Chester on
August 29th, 1849, hence was in her
seventy-fourth year. She was united
in marriage to Mr. Blair in 1875 and
all her life since that time had been
spent in Bellefonte. She was a life-
long member of the Episcopal church
and until overtaken by illness always
interested in church work. She was a
woman of gracious manner and lova-
ble character. She was intensely de-
voted to her family and home and it
was there that her many charming
qualities were fully exemplified.
In addition to her husband she is
survived by three sons, Allen Fred
Blair, of Seattle, Wash.; Dr. Harold
Albert Blair, of Curwensville, and R.
Russell, of Bellefonte. She also leaves
four brothers and one sister, Frank
Entwisle, of Newark, N. J.; A. B. and
H. L. Entwisle and Mrs. Howard Fus-
sell, of Philadelphia, and Edward Ent-
wisle, of Johnstown.
Funeral services were held in the
Episcopal church at two o’clock on
Monday afternoon by Rev. M. DePui
Maynard, after which interment was
made in the Blair lot in the Union
cemetery.
: Il
WISER. Mes. Rachel J. Wiser,
wife ‘of W. J. Wiser, of Port Matilda,
died at her home in that place on
Wednesday of last week following an
illness of some weeks. She was a na-
tive of Clarion county and was 67
years old. She was twice married,
her first husband being William Pat-
ton, who died in 1878. Two years lat-
er she married Mr. Wiser, who sur-
vives with the following children: W.
T. Patton, of Tyrone; W. J. Wiser Jr.,
of Port Matilda; Mrs. John Sass, T.
C., G. C. and G. H. Wiser, of Trafford;
Mrs. Claire Lewis, of Northwood; Mrs.
Thomas Harris, of Port Matilda; Mrs.
Robert Hirsh, of Trafford; Mrs. Rob-
ert Loor, of Toledo, Ohio; Miss Claire
Wiser, at home. Burial was made in
the Presbyterian cemetery, at Port
Matilda, on Saturday afternoon.
Il I
QUINN.—Mrs. Rachel F. Quinn,
widow of William H. Quinn, died at
her home at Cottage, Blair county,
last Thursday, as the result of urae-
mic poisoning, aged 70 years. She is
survived by ten children, two of
whom, John and Ray Quinn, live at
Pennsylvania Furnace. Burial was
made at Mooresville on Sunday morn-
ing, Rev. Garver, of the Methodist
church, officiating.
Bellefonte Woodmen Won First
Honors.
The “Modern Woodmen,” a journal
published in the interest of the Mod-
ern Woodmen of America, carries an
article in its July issue regarding the
membership campaign carried on in
Pennsylvania during the spring
months and has the foilowing to say
regarding Bellefonte:
“First honors go to the Bellefonte
zone, commanded by district deputy
W. C. Fromm. They had ninety-one
candidates on the floor on May 18th,
together with a total attendance of
330 members at the rally. In addi-
tion to the great indoor meeting, the
Bellefonte zone staged a big parade
with two brass bands, the splendid
forester team of State College camp,
and several hundred members march-
g.
“State College camp won the prize
banner for 1922 in return for securing
the largest number of new beneficial
members, the banner having been of-
ficially presented to the camp at the
big celebration on July 4th.”
Mishler Theatre, Altoona, Sold.
The Mishler theatre, Altoona’s most
famous playhousse, was sold on Mon-
day to a private company headed by
John 8S. Ginter, of Tyrone. The price
paid is given as $200,000. Mr. Mish-
ler, who went to Altoona from Lan-
caster, has been identified with the
show business in Altoona the past for-
ty years. His original theatre was de-
stroyed by fire in 1906 and in January,
1907, the present theatre was opened
and for sixteen years has proven the
popular place of amusement in Altoo-
na. Mr. Ginter, who figures promi-
nently in the purchase of the theatre,
is cashier of the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank, of Tyrone, which is just
now completing a quarter of a million
dollar banking house. He admits that
he will be secretary-treasurer of the
new company which will conduct the
Mishler theatre but has not made pub-
lic the names of the men associated
with him in the purchase of the same.
——Up to this time no further
trace has been obtained of four of the
prisoners who escaped from the Rock-
view penitentiary about the middle of
June. Four of the men were caught
at widely divergent places within two
weeks after their escape, and this
would indicate that they separated as
soon as possible after leaving the vi-
cinity of the penitentiary. Breaking
out of penitentiaries seems to be very
much of a habit in Pennsylvania, as
six long termers made their escape
from the eastern penitentiary at Phil-
adelphia last Saturday, and at 9:20
o'clock in the morning at that. They
traveled several of the prominent
streets in a stolen truck, which they
finally abandoned and commandeered
a car in which they made their exit
from the city. Philadelphia authori-
ties are now trying to catch them by
radio. .

Cut
Deep by Governor. :
In compliance with his threat to cut
hospital appropriations if the Legis-
lature failed to provide him the reve-
nue requested, Governor Pinchot used
his pruning knife to almost disastrous
effect so far as many of the smaller
hospitals throughout the State are
concerned, and none will feel it more
than the Bellefonte hospital. Two
years ago the local institution receiv-
ed $18,000. The recent Legislature
passed a bill for $16,500, and this
amount was cut by the Governor to
$10,000, which is all the hospital will
receive during the next two years.
The appropriation of $450,000 for
new work at the Rockview penitentia-
ry was cut to $245,000, which will
hardly be sufficient for one year’s con-
tinuous work of new construction.
The State College appropriation was
cut from $2,993,915 granted by the
Legislature to $2,168,600, which is
$220,000 less than the same institu-
tion received two years ago. The
Governor also vetoed the bill passed
by the Legislature authorizing the
buildings and equipment.
Lack of revenue was the reason as-
signed by the Governor for the pro-
nounced cut in all appropriations, but
less than forty-eight hours before he
used his pruning knife, Secretary
Wright, of the Highway Department,
announced a most decided increase in
salaries of all the men but day labor-
ers in his department, increases which
will make the annual expenditure
$532,350, which exceeds that of New
York by $106,000, and is more than
twice the expense of the Massachu-
setts department.
Cuts in the appropriations for the
higher educational institutions were
not so drastic. The University of
Pennsylvania, Temple University,
Philadelphia, and the University of
Pittsburgh received the same amounts
as two years ago, although these
amounts were. considerably less than
the Legislature approved. State Col-
lege was cut approximately $220,000
from two years ago.
Amounts given these institutions
were: State College, $2,168.00; Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, $1,230,000;
University of Pittsburgh, $900,000,
and Temple University, $270,000.
The appropriation granted State
College included $1,613,000 for gener-
al maintenance, $500,000 for agricul-
ture and home economics, $50,000 for
College to float a two million dollar i Entwisle, of Johnstown, were here for the
issue of bonds to liquidate present in- |
debtedness and provide funds for new |
| Where they were accompanied
| Wallace Woomer, Mrs.
research and experimentation, and
$5,000 for tobacco experiments.
The Governor still has the appro-
priations for State and semi-State in-
cellaneous appropriations. |
Among those refused in this section |
are: United Evangelical Home, Lew- |
ola, and Boys’ Industrial
liamsport.
The following amounts for institu-'
tions in this part of the State were
approved and are shown in compari-
son with the amounts received two |
years ago:

Governor included $245,000 for the,
Western penitentiary at Rockview.
Goheen—Seeger.—Jonathan McWil- |
liams Goheen, son of Mr. and Mrs. !
Robert G. Goheen, of Pennsylvania |
Furnace, and Miss Margaretta Seeger, |
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. F. See- !
ger, of Tyrone, were married on Mon- |
day evening at the parsonage of the
First Presbyterian church, in Altoo-
na, by the pastor, Rev. John Wiley
Francis. Following the ceremony
they motored to the home of the
bride’s parents in Tyrone where a de-
licious wedding dinner awaited them.
Later they left on a wedding trip
west and upon their return will go to
housekeeping in Tyrone.
Wilkie—Wilkie.—J Sherrie Wilkie,
proprietor of the new Model laundry,
and Miss Christine Wilkie, an em-
ployee at the G. Murray Andrews
home for a number of years past,
were married at the Lutheran parson-
age last Friday evening by the pas-
tor, Rev. Wilsen P. Ard. Mr. and
Mrs. Wilkie will make their home on
south Water street.
——Several thousand people
thronged the Diamond on Sunday
evening to hear the concert given by
the ‘Boys’ band of the Loysville or-
phans’ home, and as evidence that the
music was appreciated is the fact
that the voluntary contribution
amounted to $164.00. The band, num-
bering thirty-nine including the lead-
er, traveled in a specially built auto-
bus and arrived in Bellefonte on Sun-
day afternoon. The boys are all be-
tween the ages of ten and sixteen
years and the concert tour is their
main diversion during the summer
season and also a means of gathering
in a nice sum towards the support of
the institution. The Loysville home
being a Lutheran institution, the
members of the band were gratuit-
ously entertained in Lutheran fami-
lies. The Sunday evening concert be-
gan promptly at 8:30 o’clock and last-
ed until ten. The reportoire through-
out was high class and every perform-
er is a young artist of considerable
ability and promise.

Fire Wrecks Two Houses at State
College.
About ten o’clock on Wednesday
morning fire was discovered on the
roof of the house on Pugh street,
State College, occupied by Rev. and
Mrs. H. F. Babcock and owned by
Mrs. H. D. Meek, and before the
ing burned down. to the first floor.
The flames also communicated to the
house adjoining owned and occupied
by Mr. Fishburn and family and it was
also badly damaged. Mrs. Meek car-
ried ample insurance to cover her loss
but the Babcock furniture was not in-
the most of it. Mr. Fishburn had his
property covered with insurance.
While it is not definitely known how
the fire originated it is generally be-
heated flue, as Mrs. Babcock had
a hot fire in the kitchen range.
State College firemen rendered val-
iant service, otherwise the de-
struction of adjoining properties
could not have been averted. The
Meek house being rendered untenable
Rev. and Mrs. Babcock moved yester-
day afternoon into the Mrs. Patter-
son house which had been vacated on
Tuesday.
Two Men Injured by Premature
Explosion.
Walter Cathcart and George Ander-
son, two employees of the Chemical
Lime company, were painfully injured
at nine o’clock on Saturday morning
by the premature explosion of a blast
they were planting in the quarries of
the company up Buffalo Run valley.
Two .or three small shots had been
put off in the hole as starters and |
without waiting a sufficient length of
time for the rock to cool the men pro- |
ceeded to load the hole for the major
blast. Fifteen sticks of dynamite had
been lowered when the explosion took !
place and both men got the full force
of the dirt and pulverized stone shot
out of the hole with terrific force.
Their most serious injuries were on
the face and eyes, but Cathcart’s right
arm was scraped from the hand to the
shoulder. The injured men were tak-
en to the Jefferson hospital, Philadel-
phia, on Saturday afternoon by Rob-
ert S. Walker and according to word
sight. In fact, under the treatment
given them at that institution both
Cathcart and Anderson were able to
be up and around on Sunday after-
neon.
Nine children, fourteen grand-
children and three great grand-chil-
dren were present at the 79th birthday
celebration of Mrs. J. W. Souers, at
State College, on Sunday. Mrs. Sau-
ers has lived in her present home six-
ty-one years and it was there all her
I M. C. A. worker and son of former
children were born.

BIG BOOM FOR COAL CoO.
Many Bellefonte People Taking
Stock in Blanchard Moshannon
} Mining Co.
Last Friday evening there was a
large attendance at the second meet-
ing in the Brockerhoff house and the
first opportunity was given our peo-
ple to secure allotments of the pre-
ferred stock of the Blanchard Mo-
shannon Mining company. Instead of
issuing $175,000 preferred stock, they
found that $125,000 only was needed
for immediate expenses and working
capital, and the issue was restricted
to that amount, of which the company
wanted $25,000 for their office em-
ployees at Pittsburgh, leaving $100,-
000 for Bellefonte, all of which they
did not expect would be taken here.
That evening over $65,000 was sub-
scribed, and at this time, Wednesday
noon, the amount is near $96,000, with
many others not heard from who may
want allotments. The treasurer of
the company was in Bellefonte Wed-
nesday afternoon and was so pleased
with the attitude of our people that
he said we could also accept addition-
al subscriptions for part of the $25,
000 during the coming week, after
the balance would be taken up in
Pittsburgh.
Prominent coal operators and ex-
pert engineers, who have carefully ex-
amined into all the various features
have unqualifiedly pronounced it the
best proposition ever offered the peo-
ple of this section for a secure invest-
ment, carrying with it possibilities of
large earnings for the common stock
in the near future.
The Bellefonte Trust company has
been designated as the company’s de-
pository, through which all its funds
will be carried. A number of repre- |
sentative citizens of the town also will
be chosen on the board of directors,
so that there will be local participa- |
tion in the management.
The extent of subscriptions taken in
this town in the brief time, since last :
Friday evening, is unprecedented. |
The proposition and the company was |
given a thorough investigation by
people who were in position to analyze !
the various features, and in every in-
stance it received complete approval.
‘The standard gauge railroad siding |
is being laid frem the N. Y. C. tracks |
near Keating to the coal beds and
the monster shovel, weighing 360 tons, !
has been shipped from the factory in
Milwaukee. It will require fifteen
cars to carry the immense parts. At
least three weeks will be needed to |
assemble the monster and then in a
few days it will be operating full ca-
available for stripping. They can put !

New Penn State “Y” Home to ed
Dedicated to Beaver. |
The student Y. M. C. A. at The
Pennsylvania State College is under-
taking the task of raising $25,000 to-
wards new quarters to be included in

Four Drowned at Mahaffey.
Mahaffey, July 18.—Four persons
were drowned at Bower’s dam, near
here, this evening, three of them meet-
ing death in attempted rescues.
The dead are: Mrs. Isabelle Hep-
burn, her husband, Jesse Hepburn, and
Charles Dean, of Mahaffey, and Miss
Catherine McCauslin, of Pittsburgh.
Mrs. Hepburn was swimming in the
pool when she was seized with cramps.
Her husband went to her rescue but
either became exhausted or also suf-
fered an attack of cramps.
Mice McCausland plunged into the
water and swam to the aid of Mrs.
Hepburn, her sister. She reached
Mrs. Hepburn before she sank but was
dragged under the water by the
drowning woman.
Dean suffered a similar fate when
he tried to save Hepburn.
The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Hep-
urn and Mr. Dean were recovered
within a short time by Cort Kitchen,
a young man residing near the dam,
but efforts at resuscitation proved fu-
tile. Miss McCauslin’s body was re-
| covered two hours later by a party of
men.
Dr. George Hays, specialist, of
Pittsburgh, was called to Bellefonte
Saturday, for a consultation with phy-
sicians in charge of Mrs. Benjamin
Bradley Jr., who has been a patient in
the Bellefonte hospital for a month.
——Charles Musser landed a twen-
ty-four inch trout from Spring creek,
on Monday evening, which weighed
six pounds.

No
Some folks claim a dollar saved is
a dollar earned. There is no doubt
but that this is good logic; if the dol-
lar saved at the expense of lost en-
ergy and a possible chance of ruined
eyes, the logic is bad. :
Many people actually believe they
are saving money by purchasing
cheap glasses. The fact is (aside
from danger), that a pair of perfect
fitting glasses will outwear a dozen
pairs of cheap ones.
I practice Optometry, the drugless
science of fitting glasses.
