Hearing in Bellefonte.
Garfield J. Philips, an examiner for
the Public Service Commission, con-
ducted a hearing in the grand jury
room in the court house on Friday of
last week in which the Keystone Pow-
er corporation was the applicant and
Clement G. Dale and Sinie H. Hoy the
remonstrants against the granting of
a certificate of public convenience evi-
dencing the Commission’s requisite
approval for the erection, construc-
tion and maintenance of the 4400 K.
V. electric power transmission line
connecting the Keystone Power cor-
poration service with the Penn Cen-
tral company service in Huntingdon
county, which proposed line extends
from the Huntingdon county line
through Ferguson, College, Benner
and Spring townships, to connect in
Bellefonte with the Keystone Power
corporation’s line at the big trans-
mission plant in Bush’s Addition.
Said line to be constructed and op-
erated for the purpose of increasing
the efficiency of the light, heat and
power service in Bellefonte and vi-
cinity.
Arthur C. Dale Esq., of Bellefonte,
and Samuel S. McCahill, of Pitts-
burgh, represented the Keystone
Power corporation while James C.
Furst and Ivan Walker Esqs., appear-
ed on behalf of the remonstrants.
Over three hours were consumed in
taking the testimony of the various
witnesses heard. The chief witnesses
for the applicant corporation were G.
M. Gadsby, vice president and general
manager of the Penn Central compa-
ny, and Earl C. Musser, district man-
ager of the Keystone Power corpora-
tion. The remonstrants called a num-
ber of witnesses who testified relative
to the various possible locations of
the proposed power line.
. Following the transcribing of the
- testimony and filing of same argu-
> ment will be held before the entire
commission in Harrisburg, which will
then in due time render a decision.
A Splendid Road Improvement.
Those who have had occasion lately
to motor to Philipsburg, via the Port
Matilda route, must have experienced
a lot of satisfaction over the condi-
tion of the road.
The valley, from the end of the con-
crete section at Snow Shoe Intersec-
tion, has been oiled clear through to
Port Matilda and the shale road bed
is, truly speaking, almost as smooth
as a floor and free of that red dust
that has made the use of it in sum-
mer and fall so intolerable. To our
fancy there is no road-bed that gives
quite the same velvety riding quality
as that of red or black shale when it
is in good condition.
From Port Matilda to Philipsburg
’Squire O. H. Nason, the section su-
perintendent, seems to have been left
alone to work out his own ideas of
maintenance improvements, with the
result that wonders have been worked.
By changing the route for a short dis-
tance at Flat Rock he has succeeded
in securing a fifty per cent. grade al-
“most to the top of the mountain and
he has plans now to change the road-
way just before the peak grade ap-
proaching the top is reached, turning
it off to the right and coming back to
the old right of way over about the
head of “horse hollow.” If he is per-
mitted to do this the grade will prob-
ably not exceed fifty per cent. any-
where between Port and Philipsburg
except for a short distance on the
sharp curve at the head of Six Mile
run.
All the road has been scraped, the
stones picked off, and the sides brush-
ed so that most of the way it looks
as good if not better than a lot of the
permanently improved highways.
The results of intelligent mainte-
nance on this road reflect much cred-
it on Mr. Nason and his crew.
American Legion Will Picnic at Hecla
Park Next Monday.
The Brooks-Doll post of the Amer-
ican ‘Legion will hold their annual
picnic at Hecla park next Monday,
Labor day. One of the afternoon fea-
tures will be a league baseball game,
while there will be dancing, boating
and various other amusements. A
good orchestra has been secured to
furnish music for the dancing.
The big Grange encampment at
Centre Hall will naturally draw its
usual crowd of people, while automo-
bile enthusiasts will likely attend the
auto races near Altoona, but the
ideal place for Bellefonters to spend
the day is Hecla park. The Legion
boys need your patronage and have
arranged to show everybody a good
time. -

Typhoid Epidemic at Karthaus.

cases, one of the latest victims being
merchant William Potter, who was
taken to the Clearfield hospital, and

| Grange Encampment Will
Officially Tomorrow.
Open
The Grangers of Centre county will
have their innings next week at the
big fair and encampment to be held
at Grange Park, Centre Hall. In fact
the grounds were closed yesterday
by ticket only, the price of which is
50 cents, good for the week. As stat-
ed in previous articles, the grounds
have been very much improved in an-
ticipation of the big crowd expected
next week, and all tents for campers
have been taken. Every indication
points to a large line of exhibits of
stock, machinery and farm products.
The big pageant in celebration of
the fiftieth anniversary of the organ-
ization of the Grange, which will be
given Tuesday and Wednesday even-
ings, should prove a remarkable at-
traction. Hundreds of young people
from various sections of the county
will take part.

pervisors in charge, has been estab-
lished for the care and entertainment
of children of immature age. A pro-

of Gettysburg, took place in the St.
James Lutheran church at Gettys-
burg, at ten o'clock last Saturday
morning, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. D. M. Moser. The
wedding is of interest in Centre coun-
ty because of the fact that at the ex-
piration of their honeymoon the

dence at State College where the

where she has been employed as a
nurse since her graduation three years
ago. The bridegroom is a native of

Centre Hall and it was while working
there that he first met the young lady
who is now his wife. About a year
ago he purchased a drug store in
Youngstown, and has already made a
good start along the road to success.
Beck—Yearick.—T.le home of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles N. Yearick, at Jack-
sonville, was the scene of a pretty
wedding, on Wednesday of last week,

Bellefonte schools, and Miss Elizabeth
L. Dorworth were married last even-
ing at seven o'clock, at the home of

emony was performed by the Rev. T.
W. Young in the presence of only
members of the immediate families
and a few friends.
Owing to the opening of the schools
next week Mr. and Mrs. Sloop did not
take a wedding trip, going directly
after the felicitations of their friends
to their own home on Curtin street.

pleasantly known in Bellefonte that
the wish will be general that their's
may be a very, very happy life to-
gether.

considerable social prominence in
Philipsburg took place at one o’clock
Saturday afternoon, in the Baptist
church, when Max Edgar Richards,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Richards,
was united in marriage to Miss Mar-
garet Louise Avery, a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles G. Avery. The cer-
emony was performed by Rev. Charles

——The Lemont postoffice was
threatened with destruction by fire, on
Wednesday evening, when the rear
portion of the home of A. H. Evey,
assistant postmaster, was burned.
The fire started in the summer kitch-
en and burned to the roof damaging
all the rear rooms. When it looked
as if the postoffice, which was built
onto the side of the Evey house, might
go, all the mail matter was removed.
Mr. Evey’s furniture was all removed
from the house, though some of it
got pretty wet before it was taken to
a place of safety.
fire laddies responded to an appeal for
help and it was mainly through their
efforts that the fire was confined to
the rear portion of Mr. Evey’s home.
