Brief Meeting of Borough Council.
Dr. C. M. Parrish again appeared
before borough council, at its regular
meeting on Monday evening, and re-
ported that he had concreted the cel-
lar of his store to keep out the sewer
water from Pike alley, but stated that
if the leak continues it is likely to un-
dermine his foundation. The matter
was referred to the Street committee
and borough manager with instruec-
tions to work out some plan to stop
the leaks in the sewer.
Mr. Dunlap, of the Deitrick-Dunlap
Cadillac company, but representing
the automobile dealers association, ap-
peared before council with a petition
protesting against travelers parking
their cars on the streets for the night
instead of storing them in garages.
The matter was referred to the Street
committee.
The Street committee reported var-
ious repairs having been made on the
streets. :
The Water committee reported nec- |
essary repairs, two new connections
and the collection of $65.71 from the
Richelieu theatre people. The com-
mittee also reported the reading of
the water meters for the quarter end-
ing October 1st and that the uncol-
lected portion of the water duplicate
for 1924, amounting to $4,658.55, had
been turned over by the Keystone
Power corporation to the borough
manager for collection. Just as soon
as this can be partially cleaned up the
1925 duplicate will be given to the
Power corporation.
Mr. Cunningham reported that he
had made a personal investigation in-
to the complaint of Edward Decker
about lack of water at his new home
on Logan street and found that the
trouble is with the supply and not the
pressure. A half dozen or more fami-
lies in that section are drawing from
an inch pipe, and Mr. Decker being
the last on the line gets water only
when the others are not using it. He
suggested as a remedy the laying of a
two inch pipe, which will cost ap- |
proximately $227.50. He also report-
ed that lot owners on Halfmoon hill
who are starting to build have applied
for water and to accommodate them
will require the laying of 665 feet of
two inch pipe. The owners have
agreed to pay one-third the cost and
Haupt & Brown one-third, which will
leave but one-third for the borough.
Council authorized the committee to
go ahead.
The Finance committee requested
the renewal of old notes totaling
$5,600, and a new note was authorized,
if needed, to meet current expenses.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that the seventy-two fireplugs
in the town have all been painted and
tested and are in good condition.
Bills to the amount of $4879.35 were
approved for payment, after which
council adjourned.
Miliheim High School to Play Here
Tomorrow.
The High school football team will
entertain the pig skin chasers from
Millheim High school tomorrow at
Hughes field. Although beaten last
year, the boys from over the moun-
tain could never be counted out of the
game and managed to cross the goal
line twice. It is an acknowledged fact
that the longer a school plays foot-
ball, the better teams it will develop.
Starting two years ago, Millheim I as
been making rapid strides in the game
and now has an aggregation that
would do credit to a school of far
greater enrollment. They are well
ccached and full of fight. A win over
B. H. S. would put them on the top
of their athletic world so they will
spare no energy to make their dream
come true. Coach Riden hopes the
going will be easy enough for him to
send in some of the scrubs and give
them the experience they lack. The
boys have been working hard all week
rectifying mistakes and perfecting
their offense. While the first team
and several of the substitutes are fair-
ly well grounded the rest of the squad
is green and needs time and work to
develop. The game will be called at
2:30 o’clock.

RAY.—Sylvester David Ray,
almost half a century a well known
resident of Bellefonte, died very sud-
denly at his home on east Curtin
street, Bellefonte, about one o’clock on
Tuesday. For some months past he
had been suffering from the effects of
a stroke of paralysis but was up and
around and able to look after his bus-
iness affairs. He ate a fairly hearty
luncheon at noon on Tuesday then sat
down in his favorite chair to read the
paper. His daughter, Mrs. Harriet
Ray Smith, asked him if he wanted to
go down town and he replied that as
it was not very nice out he would stay
at home and read. The next minute
his head fell back and he died instant-
ly. A stroke of apoplexy was assign-
ed as the cause.
Mr. Ray was a son of Robert and
Elizabeth Ray and was born in Col-
lege township on November 9th, 1849,
hence was not quite seventy-six years
of age. After attending the public
schools in his boyhood days he enter-
ed The Pennsylvania State College
where he graduated in 1877. He
taught school a year or two then took
up the study of law and in the early
eighties was admitted to practice at
the Centre county bar. Later in life
he was elected tax collector of Belle-
fonte and served three terms.
Twenty or more years ago he estab-
lished a shirt factory in Bellefonte
which he conducted with fair success
until about two years ago when he
closed and dismantled his plant. He
was a member of the Methodist church
and a good type of citizen in every
way.
Forty-one years ago he married
Miss Sarah McGinley who passed
away in November, 1921. Of their
three children only one survives, Mrs.
Harriet Ray Smith, at home. He
leaves, however, three brothers, Am-
brose, of Bellefonte; Calvin, of Al-
toona, and George, of Mill Hall. Fu-
neral services were held at his late
home at two o'clock yesterday after-
noon by Rev. Homer ‘C. Knox, after
which burial was made in the Union
cemetery.

Renovo Easy for B. H. S.
The Bellefonte High lions devoured
the lambs from Renovo Catholic High
school with considerable ease and rel-
ish at Hughes field last Saturday. The
lambs were swallowed without a bleat
by a final score of 60 to 0. The game
was never in doubt, the outcome being
merely a matter of conjecture as to
the number of points the local steam
roller would amass. While the Reno-
vo team turned out to be material for
practice, the lighter eleven put up
enough stubborn opposition to
strengthen the conviction that Belle-
fonte has a team that will make any
team in this part of the State hustle
to beat it. The marches of the Belle-
fonters were almost without interrup-
tion until the fourth quarter, when
coach Riden sent the third team in to
get some exercise. Renovo never
stopped fighting, despite the fact that
their defense resembled a sieve and
their carrying the ball usually result-
ed in a loss. What they lacked in
weight, co-ordination and a general
knowledge of fundamentals they tried
to neutralize by determination and the
never-say-die spirit. The weakness
of their opponents make the B. H. S.
eleven, individually and collectively,
show to excellent advantage. Every
man on the squad was in the game at
some time. Several of the youngsters
show great promise and may be count-
ed on to fill in the ranks that will be
thinned in June.
——The week of October 19th to
23rd at The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege will be known as “Portable Saw-
mill Week.” Lectures and demonstra-
tions by experts in farm forestry will
leaves one brother, William Miller, of ' be the order of events.
{ GERBINSKI FOUND GUILTY
OF INCITING TO RIOT.
Application made for New Trial and
Man Held in $8,000 Bail.
When the “Watchman” went to
press last week the case of the Com-
monwealth against Nick Gerbinski, a
United Mine Workers organizer of
Osceola Mills, charged with assault
and battery and inciting to riot, was
still on trial. The jury in the case re-
turned a verdict of not guilty but pay
the costs on the first charge and found
him guilty on the second. His attor-
ney, J. Mitchell Chase, of Clearfield,
promptly made an application for a
new trial, and in granting the appli-
cation Judge Miles I. Potter increased
the bail bond from $5,000 to $8,000.
The next case taken up was that
against Dewey Kuhn, charged with
arson. This case grew out of a fire
jon the lumbering job of George Holt
i & Son, north of Unionville, on April
i 8th, 1925, the defendant being charged
{ with carelessness in starting the fire.
i The jury returned a verdict of not
guilty but pay the costs.
| W. W. Rutherford, a traveling sales-
| man, of Lock Haven, was convicted of
| operating a car while under the influ-
{ence of liquer and was fined $400,
i costs of prosecution and sent to jail
| for eighteen months.
{In the case of the Commonwealth
against Frank Reish, of State Coi-
lege, charged with assault and bat-
tery, prosecutor Jerry Sowers, the
jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Mr. Reish is past sixty _ years
of age, and taking this into
consideration Judge Potter imposed
a fine of $25 and costs. Mr. Reish told
His Honor that he might as well send
him up as he had no money to pay
either the fine or costs, so the court
.added “and stand committed until the
sentence is complied with.” Mr. Reish
spent Thursday night in jail and on
Friday morning the judge ordered him
brought into court and told him that
he felt that he had been a little hard
on him so he would remit the fine and
give him six months in which to pay
the costs.
The case against George Mothers-
baugh, charged with larceny, was con-
tinued.
The involuntary manslaughter case
against LeRoy Fox, of Lock Haven,
took up most of Friday’s session of
court. The defendant was charged
. with having caused the death of Wil-
|liam Henderson, of Lock Haven,
| through a collision near the Nittany
! tea room, last March, because of fast
iand reckless driving. The jury re-
i turned a verdict of not guilty.
Charles Isenberg, who earlier in the
i week plead guilty to the illegal pos-
| session of liquor and was fined $50
iand given thirty days in jail, was
| placed on trial on the charge of op-
; erating a motor vehicle while intoxi-
! cated, was convicted and Sentenced to

CIVIL COURT THIS WEEK.
Judge Eugene H. Baird, of the Clin-
| ton-Elk county judicial district, has
| been presiding in court this week, but
| 50 far only two cases have gone to
trial. The first was an action brought
| by William A. Carson against Hulda
iS. Meyer, of Potter township, to test
| the validity of a lease given the plain-
{ tiff by the defendant in the spring of
11923 for her farm, but which was not
I delivered to him because the other
tenant on the farm refused to leave
as his lease had not expired. The
jury returned a verdict in favor of the
defendant.
The case was concluded on Tuesday
afternoon and that of T. R. Hamilton
vs. A. E. Schad taken up. This is an
action to recover on a disputed book
account and the case was still on trial
yesterday.
Several cases which were scheduled
to come to trial this week have been
continued.
Hughesville Fair; October 13-16.
Twenty-five acres added to the
parking field, The entire fair ground
covers sixty acres.
An additional gateway has been
made at Fifth street and Broadway;
the familiar entrance at the south-
west end of the grounds has been im-
proved. When reaching any of the
auto entrances, vehicles will be stop-
ped just long enough for the driver to
purchase a ticket for his car, which
then proceeds at once to the improved
parking field, where the passengers
can unload at their leisure. Admis-
sion to the parking field 50c. The
parking field is entirely fenced off
from the rest of the fair grounds; a
fine new gateway leads from there
into the exhibition grounds, bringing
Fijliors right into the heart of the
air.
Wednesday will be school day, when
all pupils of the county will be ad-
mitted free. -
As has been the case for several
years a sale of Holstein cattle will be
held on Friday morning.
The free attractions before the
grand stand are high class. The fun-
ny Ford which travels “on its own”
will give the crowd a new idea of mo-
toring.
This fair has always been noted for
its interesting races, and the purses
offered this year insure some speedy
horses.
An aeroplane has become an estab-
lished part of the fair, and there will
be one on hand all week to haul pas-
sengers.

Theatrical
Coming.
Attractions
Armand Robi wrot it, Vincent Val~
entini added words and music to it and
Walter Brooks staged it. Those who
know their things theatrical will at
once recall that the show is “Flossie”
which created a furore in New York
and which comes to the Moose Temple
theatre for one night only, Wednes-
day, October 14. “Flossie” is a so-
phistocated musical comedy. There’s
just enough sex in it to make it hi-
lariously funny, and not a bit too
much as to make it revolting. It’s
humor is rib-tickling and its fourteen
song hits, chief of which are “Walla
Walla,” “First is Last” and “When
Things go Wrong,” are the sort of
tunes that linger long in the memory
and are a bit more than whistleable.
The title role is played by a beautiful
young woman named Inez Johnson,
who is well supported by a clever and
capable cast.
Chock Hartsworth’s jazz band is the
last word in the production of har-
monics and a chorus of the Great
White Way’s most charming young
women, complete what it is believed
will be the cleverest and most enter-
