NEWS ABOUT TOWN AND €OUNTY.
— Gerald Kenneth, infant son of
Homer and Laura Justice, of Cole-
ville, died last Saturday at the paren-
tal home. He was born May 9th,
1923. Interment was made in Meyers
cemetery.
—A little daughter born to Dr.
and Mrs. C. J. Newcomb, of Pitts-
burgh, on Monday of last week, has
been named Cyrene Newcomb. Mrs.
Newcomb, before her marriage, was
Miss Edna Mallory, of Bellefonte.
——A freight wreck on the Bald
Eagle railroad, about two miles above
Unionville on Sunday evening, block-
ed the tracks and held up traffic sev-
eral hours. Three box cars in the
middle of a train left the track and
were piled up rather indiscriminate-
ly.
—— Mrs. Joseph L. Montgomery
gave a stag dinner of thirty-five cov-
ers, at the Country club, Tuesday
evening, at which Isaac Lobe Straus,
of Baltimore, was the honor guest.
Judge Henry C. Quigley assisted Mrs.
Montgomery’s son Gordon, as acting
host.
——There will be a meeting of the
Executive committee of the Red Cross
next Tuesday afternoon, September
4th, at 4 o’clock, in the W. C. T. U.
room. A full attendance is desired
that plans for the annual drive may
be discussed and other important bus-
ness disposed of.
——The furniture and household
equipment of Rev. David R. Evans
was shipped on Wednesday to the
pastor’s new appointment at Kearny, |
N. J. Rev. Evans, wife and two chil-
dren, David and Mary, left by auto- |
mobile early the same morning, ex-
pecting to make brief visits with
friends in the northern part of the
State on their way to their New Jer-
sey home.
——The world is full of absent
minded people but one of the most
pronounced cases heard of lately in
this vicinity is that of a traveling
man who stopped at one of the Belle-
fonte hotels, one night last week, and
on going away the next day left his:
false teeth lying on the bureau in his
room. As he couldn’t come back for
his teeth the hotel proprietor sent
them to him by mail.
——Mrs. Benjamin Bradley was dis-
missed from the Bellefonte hospital
ten days ago, and is now rapidly con-
valescing at her home on Curtin
street. While under observation for
more than two months at the hospital,
Mrs. Bradley’s condition at times was
regarded as critical, so that in order
to insure a complete recovery she will
be taken to Buffalo to be under the
care of specialists, just as soon as it
is deemed advisable.
——Charles Sandstrom, of Arnot,
Tioga county, an employee of the new
Blanchard-Moshannon Coal company,
opening up operations near Karthaus,
was badly injured on Saturday when
a heavy chain on the mine machinery
broke, throwing him some distance.
He was hurriedly taken to the Cot-
tage State hospital, Philipsburg,
where it was found that the man was
suffering with a punctured lung, five
fractured ribs and other injuries.
——The twenty-eight hour trans-
«continental airmail test was in effect
but four days last week, instead of -
five, as originally planned. The test
proved conclusively that a twenty-.
eight hour schedule between New
York and San Francisco can be main-
tained under proper weather condi-
tions. The only thing that may en-
ter into the consideration is the en-
durance of the pilots, whether they
will be able to stand up. under such
long flights.
——Four cases of “Four Roses,”
real genuine Kentucky whiskey, dis-
tilled in 1913 and guaranteed one hun-
dred proof, stood on an express truck
at the Bellefonte depot for four hours
on Saturday without attracting any
special attention. Of course the whis-
key, twelve gallons in all, was in tran-
sit under government permit and was
plainly marked “for medicinal use
only.” It’s destination was not Belle-
fonte but another town less than
twenty miles away.
——The farewell reception given to
Dean and Mrs. W. R. North, in the
Methodist church, Tuesday evening,
was one of the enjoyable affairs of the
week. The interesting speaking pro-
gram, in which Mr. and Mrs. North,
Rev. McKelvey and C. C. Shuey each
had a part, followed by a delightful
social evening will be one of the pleas-
ant remembrances of Bellefonte the
Norths will take with them into in-
terior China; and the purse of fifty-
six dollars presented them by a few
«of their friends, will possibly be a
suggestion to those interested in the
missions of China, that a direct con-
‘tribution to these good people will be
.very effective in its results.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles McKer-
7 non, of Pittsfield, Mass., announce the
:engagement of their daughter, Alice
‘Grace, to Philip Slaysman Barnhart,
son of Mr. and Mrs. James K. Barn-
hart, of this place. Miss McKernon

for a'few of Miss McKernon’s friends
by her sister, Mrs. E, Brith Myrick,
of Pineville, Kentucky. The wedding
vwill take place in the spring.
ESCAPED PRISONERS DRAW
| SALTY SENTENCE.
Men Who Attempted Jail Delivery
| Taken Back to Pen on Saturday.
Two weeks in solitary confinement
in the concrete cells of the death
house at Rockview broke the turbu-
lent spirits of two of the prisoners
who four weeks ago pulled off a des-
perate attempt at jail delivery in
Bellefonte, and on Saturday morning
they came into open court, meek as
lambs and plead guilty to the several
charges presented against them, re-
| ceived their sentences and the same
| day were landed 1m the old Riverside
! penitentiary in Allegheny.
| The two men &re Arthur Price and
. Clair Jamison, who escaped from the
| western penitentiary at Rockview in
‘June, and who were in the Centre
county jail pending disposition of
, their cases. On Thursday, August
' 2nd, the above two men and Edward
i Fiddell, also an escaped prisoner from
the penitentiary, made a desperate at-
tempt to escape from the Centre coun-
ty jail. Jamison succeeded in getting
out into the corridor but was prevented
i from escaping through the bravery of
the sheriff’s daughter, Miss Marion
' Dukeman, and her mother. Miss
{ Dukeman clutched the desperate man
| by the coat and clung with determin-
ied tenacity until her father appeared
, upon the scene. Mrs. Dukeman, with
rare presence of mind, locked the jail
' door then got into the scrimmage in
| time to grab an iron bar with which
Jamison was belaboring her husband.
In the meantime Price had beaten up
{ Timpco Carpella, the trusty turnkey,
so badly that he is still suffering quite
severely. Not content with being
i frustrated in their first attempt at es-
! cape the men tried it again the fol-
lowing night and had almost dug out
i of their steel cell when discovered.
It was then that they were sent to
solitary confinement in the death
| house at Rockview.
Knowing the dangerous character
| of the two men, when they signified
their willingness to plead guilty to
! the charges against them, the court
| decided to impose sentence early Sat-
iurday morning so that the trip to
: Pittsburgh could be made entirely
! during daylight. Consequently it was
just 8:30 o'clock when they were
brought before Judge Quigley.
i Arthur Price was the first man to
face the court. He is twenty-three
! years old and is from Oklahoma. In
April, 1921, he was in Philadelphia,
having just been discharged from the
U. S. navy, and as a means of getting
easy money held up a taxicab. He
“was caught in the act, was convicted
and sent up for from three to five
years. He had just nine months to
serve when he escaped from the peni-
, tentiary in June. When he faced the
,court.on Saturday he faced three
charges, breaking and escaping from
the penitentiary, attempted escape
from the Centre county jail, and ag-
gravated assault and battery. On the
first two charges he was given from
two to four years each and on the last
charge one to two years, the sentenc-
es to run consecutively, which would
have given him from five to ten years,
but after further consideration of his
case Judge Quigley on Wednesday
afternoon remitted the sentence on
the last two charges so that he will
only have to serve from two to four
years for breaking and escaping from
the penitentiary, in addition to the
nine months yet to serve on his old
sentence.
When Clair Jamison faced the court
he stated to the judge’s inquiry that
he had twenty-three months yet to
serve of a sentence of from three and
a half to five years imposed upon him
at New Castle for breaking and en-
tering. Jamison denied g that he
meant to injure the sherif? seriously
when he hit him with an iron bar, but
admitted that Miss Dukeman and her
: mother “helped some” in preventing
his escape. The first two charges
against him were the same as those
against Price, and the sentence im-
posed the same, but the third charge
"against him was felonious assault and
battery and on that count he was giv-
en from three to five years, making
his total seven to thirteen years.
Sheriff Dukeman, accompanied by
constable Howard Smead and Lester
Wyland, of Howard, took the two men
to Pittsburgh on Saturday and deliv-
ered them to the officials of the west-
ern penitentiary. The men went
along without a protest of any kind.
Edward Fiddell, the third man im-
plicated, has so far steadfastly refus-
ed to plead guilty and is still confined
in the death house at Rockview. He
maintains that he will stand trial at
the September term of court and it is
known that he has been in communi-
cation with , at least two attorneys
away from Bellefonte. Fiddell was
sent up from Cambria county for rob-
bery but his real home is Chicago,
I11., where he is reputed to have been
a member of the stockyards gunmen.
It is further reported that Fiddell’s
criminal ancestry dates back a centu-
ry or more and that he has spent
twenty-four out of thirty-eight years
of life behind the bars. He is now in
good shape to considerably increase
this record.
——Walter S. Jackson, of State
College, has secured a position with
the state highway department in
Bellefonte. For the time being he
will be located in the local office. He
was formerly employed by The Penn-
sylvania State College, in the bac-
teriological division of the dairy de-
partment.
——The banks, the postoffice and
most of the business places in Belle-
fonte will be closed next Monday, La-
bor day.
Reichert Drew the Ford Car Then | Are You Interested in the Bellefonte |
Sold It.
Ticket No. 252 drew the Ford tour-
ing car that was given away at the
festival of Wetzler’s band at Miles-
burg last Saturday night. It was
held by Robert Reichert who works
at the Titan Metal plant and lives on
Logan street, Bellefonte.
. The festival was an afternoon and
evening affair nd the amusement of-
fering of the afternoon was the ball
game between Port Matilda and |
Milesburg.. Port won by the score of
11 to 9.
The evening entertainment was
more or less curtailed by the break-
down of the lighting service and nec-
essarily the receipts from the stands
were much reduced. With it all, how-
ever, the band realized exactly $984
on the undertaking.
The drawing for the automobile oc-
curred at 11 o’clock at night. Stubs
of every ticket held were placed in a
box, then it was announced that the
fifth one drawn out would contain the
name of the person to whom the car
would be given. The four first ones
drawn were replaced in the box so
that they would have a chance to be
fifth and then out came the fifth bear-
ing the name and number of Mr.
Reichert.
About 2500 tickets had been distrib-
uted for the drawing.
Monday morning the winner went
to the Beatty Motor Co., and sold the
car back to them and the same after-
noon they turned it over to a custom-
er who had been clamoring weeks for
a delivery.
Burned Out Transformers Put Belle-
fonte in Darkness.
The burning out of two big govern-
ing transformers at the Milesburg
plant of the Keystone Power corpora-
tion, on Saturday night, plunged all
of Bellefonte in darkness and, in fact,
cut off the service of their entire cir-
cuit, The first transformer burned
out shortly after seven o’clock and it
took probably half an hour to make
repairs. At 8:15 o'clock the second
transformer burned out and it was
9:30 o'clock before repairs could be
made and the light again turned on.
The burning out of the transform-
ers naturally compelled the closing
down of the plant and Bellefonte and
every community depending upon the
company for light was plunged into
darkness. In fact it was a case of
the much despised tallow candle again
coming into its own. Most of the
stores in Bellefonte kept open and did
a little business with the aid of can-
dles and lamps but several business
places closed when it became known
that it was uncertain how long the
light would be off.
The Scenic, naturally, was compel-
led to close down and when the lights
finally did come on most everybody
had gone home. The absence of light
played havoc with the big festival of
the Wetzler band, at Milesburg, which
naturally failed to make near the
amount of money they anticipated.
. On Monday afternoon trouble de-
veloped on the supply line which fur-
nishes juice to people and industries
in the western section of town with
the result that all the machinery was
at a standstill for an hour and a half.
Old Wall on New Parrish Building
Collapsed.
An accident that cannot be regard-
ed in any other light than that of a
Providential nature occurred about
ten o’clock on Monday night, when the
old wall of what is to be the Parrish
building, Allegheny street and Pike
alley, collapsed.
The wall was left standing when
the old building was demolished. It
| seemed in good condition and Mr.
Parrish was advised that it could be
used as part of the new structure he
is building.
All day Monday workmen were
busy right under it laying joists for
the first floor and had it fallen while
they were there probably many of
them would have been crushed under
the tons of brick. As it was the heavy
joists of the first floor were snapped
off like match sticks, the centre foun-
dation wall pushed out of alignment
and the corner column carrying the
steel beam that is to support the sec-
ond story was bent so that it will have
to be rebuilt.
The collapse of the wall occurred
right in the midst of the hard rain
Monday night and may have been
caused by it or it might have been due
to the fact that the new basement was
dug some depth below the footings of
the old wall. Whatever the cause it
very fortunately occurred just at a
time when no human lives were en-
dangered.

Osceola Boy Candidate for Carnegie
Medal.
James W. Carroll, fourteen year
old son of William P. Carroll, a P. R.
R. freight conductor of Osceola Mills,
is a candidate for a Carnegie medal
of honor because of his heroic rescue
of a young companion. .
Carroll was a member of a band of
Boy Scouts camping between Philips-
burg and Clearfield. George Lingle,
another member of the party, went
down into an old well to clean it out.
He was overcome by gas and Carroll
quickly tied his handkerchief over his
nose and mouth and went into the
well to rescue young Lingle. He
fastened the rope around Lingle’s
body and other Boy Scouts pulled the
two boys out of the well. Carroll col-
lapsed on reaching the top but soon
revived. Lingle was rushed to the
Clearfield hospital where he was final-
ly brought back to consciousness and
his life saved.
Hospital.
| Every one interested in the future
of the Bellefonte hospital is urged to
attend the corporation meeting to-
‘night. In order that the people of
Centre county, especially those living
in Bellefonte might more conveniently
attend the annual meeting its place
has been changed from the hospital to
ithe arbitration room in the court!
house and the time will be 8 o’clock.
- While- only such persons as have
contributed to the support of the hos-
! pital during the current year are eli-
gible to vote at this meeting its board
of management is very desirous that
‘every one should attend and very
“probably will move to suspend for to-
"night the constitutional restriction on
voting. ;
It is not the intention to make an
appeal for money. It is the wish,
however, that enough interested per-
sons will be in attendance to secure a
fair impression as to what the public
thinks as to the conduct and future
support of the institution.
The time is approaching, January
1st next, when a new program of
financing will have to be put into
practice. As is well known the aid at
present received from the State has
been cut, effective January 1st, 1924,
'to $5,000 per year. This will be $4,-
1000 per year less than the hospital is
now receiving. As it has been run-
ning behind, for the past two years,
from $1500 to $2000, it will be appa-
rent that Centre county will have to
give at least $6000 more per year to-
, wards its support hereafter than it
has ever done before.
A very careful survey of the oper-
ating costs reveals no means of cur-
, tailment in expenses to meet this defi-
cit. The only saving that could be ef-
fected by admitting fewer patients
would be in food stuffs and that would
be inconsequential, since professional
supervision, light, heat and other
fixed overhead costs would have to go
on materially the same.
Certainly there must be unanimity
in the thought that we need the hos-
i pital and believing that such is the
case its Board would like to have the
benefit of your counsel and co-opera-
, tion in solving the problem of its fu-
| ture.
Won’t you come to the meeting to-
night and lend what assistance you
{can by way of suggesting a practical
| plan for the support of the institu-
ition. It is a great burden for a few
| and many hands would make light
work of it.
GEO. R. MEEK,
President of the Board.
American Legion to Conduct Most
"Popular Working Girl Contest.
The working girl is coming into her
own at last. The Brooks-Doll Post of
the American Legion will shortly put
on a most popular working girl voting
contest, to include Bellefonte and vi-
cinity, the winner to get a free trip,
with all expenses paid, to San Fran-
cisco atthe time of the national con-
vention of the American Legion in
October. -
The Legion boys expect to have
their plans mapped out so that com-
plete details can be given next week.
It is understood, however, that the
various industrial concerns and busi-
ness places in Bellefonte will be in-
vited to nominate one of their em-
ployees as a candidate in the voting
contest. This, however, will not pre-
vent any working girl from entering.
A free trip to San Francisco and re-
turn will doubtless be very enticing to
most any working girl, and the Le-
gion boys will furnish the opportu-
nity. .
Similar contests will be conducted
all over the State so that there will
be plenty of company for the success-
ful contestant. The start for San-
Francisco will be made October 8th,
and the trip last until November 1st,
so that the girls will have at least ten
days to take in the sights of the Gold-
en State.
While working girls are naturally
busy girls, any one who is anxious to
take this trip should make her prep-
arations to put on a big fight to prove
her popularity.
Longevity of Centre County People.
Mention was made last week of
Mrs. Susanna Spangler having cele-
brated her ninety-fifth birthday anni-
versary at her home at Centre Hall,
and on Monday of this week Mrs.
Nancy McMeen celebrated her ninety-
fourth anniversary at her home at
Curtin. Mrs. McMeen is a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. John Lipton, and was
born at Milesburg, her entire life hav-
ing been spent in Boggs township.
Coincident with the above it might
be mentioned that on October 31st
Mrs. Barbara Rumberger Rider will
celebrate her ninety-third anniversa-
ry at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
W. E. Ellenberger, in Tyrone. Al-
though now a resident of Tyrone Mrs.
Rider was born in west Ferguson
township and spent all her life until
quite recently at Gatesburg. She is
the last surviving member of a family
of fifteen. Her mother lived to the
age of ninety-five and one sister was
ninety-seven years old at her death.
Mrs. Rider is an aunt of George
Washington Rumberger, of Union-
ville, who is still very active at the
age of eighty-six.
——A picked team of Bellefonte
ball players went to Hecla on Sunday
and played the nine at that place, the
Nittany valley diamond eaters win-
ning by the score of 10 to 8. The pro-
ceeds of the game, $100.00, were used
to pay the hospital expenses of Sam-
uel Weaver, the Bellefonte team play-
er who sustained a broken leg early
in the season.
