But when Mr. Dunklebarger hauled the big erocks away on Monday aflernoon he dis- covered: that two of tiem were brok- ‘en, and the commissioners will have to return the fifteen dollars paid for them. COUNCIL TO PROBE FIRE ALARM SERVICE. Other Business Transacted at Regular Session on Monday Evening. The question of better fire alarm service and improved fire protection was pretty thoroughly discussed at Monday night’s meeting of borough council. Mrs. M. H. Brouse, of the West ward, was present and suggest- ed to council the advisability of re- placing the old water plug on south Thomas street with one of more mod- ern design, and also that the plug lo- cated at the corner of High and north Thomas street should be changed from the outside curb line to inside the pavement on the U. B. church prop- erty. The street is not very wide there and the fireplug has been hit a number of times by automobiles and bent over, and some time when it is needed badly it might be out of serv- ice. The matter was referred to the Water committee and borough man- ager. The Street committee reported the cleaning out of catch basins, digging ditches and cleaning up streets. The Water committee reported the collection of $305.04 on the 1924 water duplicate and $76.79 from the Shef- field Farms Co., for new water con- nections. The committee also report- ed that the front fence and the pillar lights for the big spring have not yet arrived, but about everything else has been completed. - The Finance committee requested the renewal of a note for $5,000, which was authorized. The Fire and Police committee pre- sented burgess Walker's check for $222.50 for fines and licenses collected up to November 12th. The committee also reported a fire on St. Paul street on the evening of the 9th inst., and called council’s attention to the fact that considerable criticism had been made by residents of the West ward because of the delay in getting in an alarm through the Bell telephone ex- change. The matter was pretty thor- oughly discussed from every view- point, as the question of getting in an alarm right on the minute in time of a fire is of vast importance. Mr. Em- erick, who was present for the first time since last spring, stated that su- perintendent Richards, of the Bell company, claimed the operator tried to send in an alarm as soon as noti- fied but could get no response from her call. He also made a motion that the matter be referred to the Fire and Police committee for investigation and also to confer with Bell telephone of- ficials regarding a positive and de- pendable alarm service. President Walker stated that he had been informed that the American {Lime and Stone company is closing the lower road to Coleville by way of the old glass works, and as this road has been open for more than twenty- | one years they have no right to close jit. The matter was referred to the | Street committee and borough man- ager. | Mr, Cunningham stated to council i that residents of Halfmoon hill would | like a new light installed in the neigh- borhood of the fire plug recently put {in up there. A new line was recent- ly strung up over the hill and a bulb light could easily be put up on one of { the poles. The matter was referred to the Street committee. The Fire and Police committee re- ceived a shock over sheriff E. R. Tay- ilor’s bill for $73.50 for housing va- i grants, and Mr. Cunningham reported { that the lock-up is now in shape for [the entertainment of wandering | guests. All that is needed is the pur- chase of several comfortables for ithe bunks in the cells. The matter i was placed in the hands of the Fire ‘and Police committee. | Mr. Emerick stated to council that he had been approached on the ques- | tion of council making an appropria- tion to the Red Cross drive but inqui- ry of the borough solicitor brought the information that they had no le- gal authority to make any such ap- propriation. No further business being brought up bills totalling $2405.41 were ap- proved for payment, after which coun- cil adjourned. BR $40,000 Fire at State College. The epidemic of disastrous fires at State College continues. On Wednes- day morning the three story frame building of Breon and Stover, owners of the Penn State Photo Shop, was en- tirely destroyed entailing a loss of $40,000 and the Harvey building, east of it scorched to the extent of $3,000. The origin of the fire is not known. It broke out so suddenly that little could be saved and the Penn State Photo company lost much of its valu- able photographic equipment and hun- dreds of negatives that can never be replaced. Among them are said to have been many in course for this year’s “La Vie,” the Penn State an- nual. The second floor of the building was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. John Allen and Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Abberson and the third floor by Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Cadden. All of these tenants lost everything they had and several bare- ly escaped with their lives. Mrs. Ab- berson was bathing her six month’s old baby at the time of the alarm and had time only to wrap it in her apron and flee through the flames already eating their way up the hallway to the street. As it was she was pain- fully burned about the head and face and collapsed after reaching a neigh- bor’s. Breon and Stover carried $22,000 insurance on building and equipment. Many People Unite in Farewell Re- ception to Dr. and Mrs. Schmidt. In the neighborhood of a thousand people attended the farewell reception given Rev. Dr. Ambrose M. Schmidt and Mrs. Schmidt, at the chapel of the Reformed church on Tuesday evening. It was a representative Bellefonte crowd, including members from al- most every denomination in town. Men and women, boys and girls, gath- ered to pay respect and extend good wishes to the man and woman who have spent twenty-four busy years la- boring among the people of this com- munity, the best years of their lives, and the large gathering on Tuesday evening was a heart to heart testa- monial of the esteem in which they are held. Judge-elect Harry Keller was mas- ter of ceremonies and with Dr. and Mrs. Schmidt was their daugh- ter-in-law, Mrs. William Schmidt, of Johnstown. Her husband had plan- ned to be in Bellefonte for the recep- tion but at practically the last min- ute was detained from coming. Dur- ing the evening there was music by the Academy orchestra and refresh- ments furnished by members of the congregation. As a token of their re- gard the congregation presented Dr. and Mrs. Schmidt with a purse of gold. Dr. Schmidt preached his last ser- mons in Bellefonte last Sunday, and it may be a matter of interest to know that when he came to Bellefonte in 1901 the church congregation number- ed 200 and the money contributed to church support was $1800 a year. The congregation now numbers 275 and the church support $3500 a year. But this does not by any means tell the story of his work in Bellefonte. Dur- ing his twenty-four years’ pastorate the church accessions have totalled about 400, but death and removal from Bellefonte, especially of many young people, have taken a heavy toll so that the actual increase in mem- bership is only seventy-five. During the twenty-four years he has been in Bellefonte Dr. Schmidt has officiated at 171 marriages and performed 201 baptisms. During his pastorate from $20,000 to $25,000 were spent on church improvements, which included the erection of the chapel, a thorough overhauling of the church twice, a new carpet in the church and the installation of eight art windows as well as a new heating plant. For church support he raised in the neighborhood of $75,000, and for benevolences, $30,000, not count- ing the $15,000 pledged to the for- ward movement, $10,000 of which amount has already been paid. Dr. and Mrs. Schmidt will remain in Bellefonte until after Thanksgiving when they will take their departure for Washington, D. C. Judge Potter Grants New Trial in Cullen vs. Rowland Case. Judge Miles I. Potter, of Snyder county, on Monday filed his decision on the application for a new trial in the case of James H. Cullen vs. Annie C. Rowland, and John E. Fryberger and J. K. Johnston, administrators of the estate of the late Congressman Charles H. Rowland, setting aside the verdict of $45,073.23 awarded the plaintiff and granting a new trial. In their application for a new trial attorneys for the defendants filed fif- ty-nine reasons why one should be granted, Judge Potter dismissing fif- ty-eight of them as having no basis in fact but granting the new trial on the fifty-fifth reason, which was that the verdict was excessive. This the court concurs in, and states that the jury failed to take into consideration the eleven thousand tons of coal mined, which should have been computed and deducted from the gross amount of the verdict. Judge Potter heard the case at the regular February sessions of court, 1925. The attorneys for the plaintiff were M. Ward Fleming, of Philips- burg, and N. B. Spangler, of Belle- fonte. The defendants were repre- sented by A. M. Liveright, of Clear- field, and ex-Judge Ellis L. Orvis, of Bellefonte. The contention was over a coal mine purchased from the late Congressman Rowland by James H. Cullen, through an authorized agent, and the latter claimed that the mine was not as represented. The case was on trial more than a week and re- sulted in a verdict for the plaintiff in the amount claimed above. Attorneys for the defendants promptly made a motion for a new trial and the case was argued some weeks ago. The granting of a new trial will mean that the case will all have to be gone over again, but Judge Potter will not nec- essarily have to be the sitting judge. rs —— stn Former Pastor Will Preach at State College. The many friends of Rev. P. E. Keen, college pastor of Albright Col- lege, Meyerstown, Pa., will be glad to learn that he has consented to preach the Communion sermon in the St. John’s Evangelical church, State Col- lege, Sunday morning, the 22nd inst., at 10:45 o'clock. Rev. Keen was the former pastor of this congregation and its members will be glad to hear him again, ———— senses ee— To “Watchman” Correspondents.

This will enable us to handle everything in fine shape, “BILLY” SUNDAY DRAWS BIG CROWD ON MONDAY. Well Known Evangelist Discourses in United Evangelical Church. The wash tubs stood idle on Mon- day morning, staid business men walked out of their stores and offices, and women and men wended their way to the newly remodeled United Evan- gelical church to see and hear the re- nowned evangelist, “Billy” Sunday. The meeting was advertised for ten o'clock and as early as eight o’clock people began gathering. The church seats eight hundred people and it was well crowded when the Sunday party made its appearance, although there was still some standing room unoccu- pied. Mr. Sunday is at present engaged in holding a six week’s campaign in Williamsport, and he was brought to Bellefonte by John G. Winters, a lead- ing member of the First United Evan- gelical church of that city. In the party in addition to Mr. Sunday and Mr. Winters were “Ma” Sunday, Rev. W. B. Cox, presiding elder in the United Evangelical church, and Rev. A. F. Weaver, now of Williamsport but a former pastor of the Bellefonte church. Prior to going to the church the party stopped at the Bellefonte Academy where the evangelist gave the students a fifteen minute talk. At the church Rev. Weaver invok- ed the divine blessing on the meeting and presiding elder Cox introduced Billy Sunday as the man who used to throw the “pig” skin over the plate. Right off the bat Billy told his hear- ers that the one thing he exacted at all such impromptu meetings was a collection, not for himself, as he had all the money he needed but for the Winonah bible institute at Winonah Lake, Ind., of which he is the patron saint. He then continued by saying : that he was glad to come to Bellefonte ! because of its historical associations. Because it was the home of three Gov- ernors, one of whom was the great war Governor, Andrew G. Curtin. Every State, he said, always contended that it had the greatest war Gover- nor of them all, but he always con- tended that Pennsylvania’s was great- est. Another reason why he was glad to come to Bellefonte was because it was the home town of that most won- derful ball player, Monte Ward, as they had been very close and dear friends. The 23rd Psalm was the basis of the evangelist’s discourse which lasted a little more than an hour. He spoke with a rapidity that was hard to fol- low and a decided huskiness in his throat which made it very difficult to understand all he said in the rear part of the church. But it was the same Billy Sunday that has swayed thous- ands during his life and has influenced more people to tread the sawdust trail than any other man living today. The collection taken up for the evangelist’s bible institute was turned over to him uncounted, but those who saw the plates estimate that it pro- bably aggregated in the neighborhood of two hundred dollars. The Sunday party had luncheon at the Brockerhoff house before returning to Williams- port. These Hunters Got Well Filled Game Bag. During the first week of the small game hunting season George R. Pur- nell, sales agent for the Ameri- can Lime & Stone company, entertain. ed a half dozen Pittsburgh gentlemen on a hunting trip in Bald Eagle val- ley. They made their headquarters at the Potter-Hoy camp (the old Ma- sonic camp near Curtin) where they had an abundance of fun at night in addition to lots of hunting during the day. . The Pittsburgh party included Ed- ward Dettling, Harvey Adamson, Charles Kritzley, William Wedgwood, William H. Barnes and William Frey. Of course Mr. Purnell spent as much time as possible with them and chem- ist David Washburn also tried out his hand several days during their stay. Curtin residents aver that as a result of the week’s hunt that section of the county is now so devoid of game that it would be impossible to scratch out a rabbit with a fine tooth comb. And there is probably some founda- tion for this assertion because the Pittsburgh game bag included ninety- two rabbits, one gray squirrel and seven pheasants, not counting two ringnecks and a few rabbits bagged by Dave Washburn. Robberies at Julian. On Sunday night two men broke in- to the Tallhelm store and Nason’s ga- rage and supply store, at Julian, and stole over fifty dollars in money, a re- volver and other articles. On Tues- day sheriff Taylor arrested a colored man who gave his name as James Jackson, and his residence as Phila- delphia. After considerable quizzing he admitted that he and another col- ored man whom he claimed he knew only as “Whitey,” pulled the job. The man claimed he came to Centre coun- ty from Scranton and was looking for work. Failing to find any was evi- dently his reason for turning burglar, although it is just as likely that this { was not his first job. The man he knew as “Whitey’ ‘made his escape. ——The El Segundo, California, Herald, announces that Mr. and Mrs. Charles Potter Miller, of that city, are the parents of a nine-and-a-half pound Friends at the father’s former home | will be glad to hear the good news and join us in extending congratulations. son, who was born on the 2nd inst. | NEWS PURELY PERSONAL. —Miss Margaret Stuart is visiting in Cumberland, Md., a guest of her uncle, An- drew Shaw and his family. —Frank M.

A hoodoo or jinx of some kind must be hovering over the Lewisburg branch of the Pennsylvania railroad this week. On Monday morning the coaches were derailed in the yard at Sunbury and the result was the train was two hours and a half late reach- ing Bellefonte. On Wednesday after- noon as the train west was nearing Lemont the locomotive picked the switch of the side track with the re- sult that both it and the baggage car were derailed. The brakeman had just given his usual call for the Lemont station and the passengers were gathering into the aisles of the car preparatory to getting off the train when the acci- dent occurred. One man lost his bal- ance and was thrown almost half the length of the car, being knocked un- conscious. He was carried from the car to the station platform and when he came to it was found that his in- juries were not at all serious. Sev- eral persons were thrown against the seats and sustained minor bruises and contusions but nothing serious. Both the Sunbury and Lock Haven wreck trains were sent to Lemont and by working all night had the most of the wreck cleared up and track open by yesterday morning. Social Hapenings. In the Jersey Shore Herald of No- vember 16, Mrs. Benjamin Bradley is spoken of as being the guest of honor - at a dinner given by Mrs. Vinnie Bar- ner, at the Pickering hotel in that place.
