birds. If the snow is cleared away

COUNCIL DISCUSSES
FIREMEN’S COMPENSATION.
Oath of Office Administered to Coun-
cilman John P. Eckel.
John P. Eckel, the new member of
borough council from the West ward,
made his first appearance in the coun-
cil chamber at the regular meeting on
Monday evening and was sworn into
office by burgess Hard P. Harris. It
might also be mentioned that the
meeting was noteworthy in at least
one feature and that was that it was
the first time in a year at which every
member was present.
Secretary Kelly read a communica-
tion from the Aetna Life Insurance
company stating that under a law
passed in 1915 borough councils were
required to carry compensation in-
surance for volunteer firemen. As no
particulars were given as to rates,
liabilities, etc., no action could be
taken and the matter was referred to
the Fire and Police committee to con-
sult with the borough solicitor relative
to the matter and report at next meet-
ing.
A communication was received from
borough engineer H. B. Shattuck
stating that he had forwarded to the
State Board of Health blue prints of
the Bishop street sewer and the new
pipe-lines at the big spring.
Borough manager J. D. Seibert pre-
sented his bond in the sum of $500 for
the current year which was approved.
The Bell Telephone company of
Pennsylvania presented an agreement
relative to the installation of the fire
alarm system and the operation of
same; said agreement providing that
all expenses be paid by the borough
and that the company be exempt from
all financial libility in operation of
same. Council authorized execution
of the agreement.
The Street committee reported the |
removal of snow from the streets and
cleaning pavements. :
The Water committee reported the
collection of $22.00 on the 1924 water
duplicate. Also, that a six inch meter
had been ordered for installation on
the new electric pump, as the depart-
ment did not have a meter on hand
of sufficient capacity to record the ca-
pacity of the pump. The committee
also reported that an examination had
been made of the elevator in the
Phoenix pumping station building and
the repairs needed will be made at
once. And further, that the G. F.
Musser Co. has accepted -council’s
action for another year’s lease on the
building at $750 per year, and the
committee was instructed to have a
lease drawn up and executed.
The Fire and Police committee re-
portd that the Bell Telephone com-
pany intended installing private tele-
phone lines to each fire company build-
ing with a call bell in each engine
room, which will ring until shut off.
The question of a more satisfactory
fire alarm system was discussed and
the Fire and Police committee was
instructed to make inquiry as to the
latest electric alarm system.
On motion of Mr. Emerick N. B.
Spangler was re-elected borough so-
licitor.
Bills amounting to $1914.99 were
approved for payment after which
council adjoined.
; Hoffman Divorce Testimony Made a
Matter of Secrecy.
The strictest secrecy guarded the
taking of testimony, in Bellefonte last
Wednesday and Thursday, in the di-
vorce proceedings of Lieutenant Com-
: monder Joseph F. Hoffman against his
wife, Frances G. Turner Hoffman. All
the evidence was heard behind locked
doors in the law library in the court
house. It took until Thursday after-
noon to hear all the witnesses, six for
the plaintiff including the Commander
himself, and for the defense Mrs.
Addi-
tional testimony is to be taken in
Washington at some future date while
there is said to be an important wit-
‘ness in New Orleans whose testimony
will likely be taken by commission. !
While no definite facts in connection
"with the testimony could be learned
it is understood that considerable of it
would not look well in print and the
master in the case, John J. Bower in-
. timated that when all the testimony
is in and he has formulated his report
it will be accompanied by a recom-
mendation that the testimony be
sealed and impounded in the office of
‘the clerk of courts.
C. D. Casebeer Buys W. S. Katz
Property.
C. D. Casebeer on Monday purchas-
agency the W. S. Katz property, ad-
joining Petrikin hall. Some months
ago James Caldwell, proprietor of the
Bon Mot, took an option on the build-
ing which held good until Monday
evening. Since taking the option he
decided to remain where he is and, as
his option was good until Monday
evening, turned the property over to
Robert F. Hunter for sale. Mr. Hun-
ter had several prospective customers
but none of them coming to the front
on Monday the property was sold to
Mr. Casebeer at the face value of Mr.
Caldwell’s option.
In purchasing the property Mr.
Casebeer has several things in view,
one of which is to open an optical
parlor on the first floor and occupying
the second floor as an apartment for
himself and family. This, however, is
only prospective, as something else
may develop before he reaches a defi-
nite conclusion,

Enrollment in Red Cross and Public
Health Nursing Service Most
Creditable.
There was a generous response to
the canvass last November for en-
rollment of members in the Red Cross
and Public Health Nursing Service as
is shown by the report of Russell
Blair, chairman, and the sum obtain-
ed certainly reflects credit upon him
and his efficient and enthusiastic help-
ers, most of whom were women, as
usual. Two years ago a survey was
started to find how many towns-peo-
ple were in favor of continuing the
nursing service and would contribute
to its maintenance. This was inter-
rupted by the drive for the Centre
County Hospital and the nursing ser-
vice was discontinued for lack of
funds until the Elks gave $519.00 from
their Hallowe’en celebration and Mrs.
Russell Blair and the cast of the
“Green and White Revue” contribut-
ed their proceeds amounting to $1,000.
A nurse trained for public health work
was secured as soon as possible and
the nursing service resumed last Sep-
tember under Miss Anna McCauley.
When the time came for the an-
nual enrollment of members in the
Red Cross, it was thought advisable
to give at the same time an oppor-
tunity for contributing to the local
nursing service and the results pleas-
ed even the most sanguine, as Mr.
Blair announces the amount of cash in
hand, $1483.70 and $16 for collection.
Those desirious of enrolling in the
Red Cross numbered 348, distributed
as follows: :
315 “Annual” whose membership is
$1.
26 “Contributing” whose member-
ship is $5.
5 “Sustaining” whose membership
is $10. Ee
. 2 “Supporting” whose membership is
$25.
Fifty cents of each of these mem-
berships or $174 goes to the National
Red Cross work, while the remainder
is kept for local work and will be add-
ed to the fund for nursing service.
Jiggs and Maggie Are Coming.
To those patrons of the theatre who
have been led to believe that the well
of real fun, screams, hilarity, mirth
and general all around entertainment
has run dry, the latest of the “Bring-
ing up Father” series, “Bringing Up
Father in Gay New York,” should
quickly -refute such a delusion. In
fact, if anything, it is bound to prove
a source of infinite joy to those who
are always in search of genuine
laughter, the kind that means renewed
hope and lease on life. The brand new
comedy, of course, is based on the
well-known George McManus cartoons
published in the leading = dailies
throughout the country. Not to be
acquainted with the beloved Jiggs,
Maggie, his better, or we might say,
worst half; Dinty Moore and others of
the Mahoney clan is like being at dis-
tant relationship with the Declaration
of Independence or the history of
these United States.
If you want to see them all, in the
flesh you will have your chance by
hieing to the Moose theatre Wednes-
day, February 10. Naturally, a
“Father” show would not be complete
without pretty girls, lilting music,
novelties, scenic embellishment and all
those unique ingredients that go in
the making of an up-to-the-second en-
tertainment. The patrons of the
Moose theatre are sure to spend a
highly enjoyable time. At least fif-
teen song hits, jazzy interludes, en-
sembles and other infectious melodies
will be disclosed during the develop-
ment of the merry proceedings. The
original cast and production, direct
from the Lyric theatre, New York,
will be offered.
Harrisburg Man Gets Verdict Against
W. J. Emerick, of Bellefonte.
In court at Harrisburg, last week,
a resident of Dauphin county by the
name of Witiner was awarded a ver-
dict of $1400 against W. J. Emerick,
of Bellefonte, for alleged injuries sus-
tained in an auto accident over two
years ago. But Mr. Emerick will not
have to pay the money out of his
own pocket, as he carried indemnity
insurance to the extent of five thous-
and dollars, so that the insurance com-
pany will have to make good the ver-
dict.
The alleged accident happened in a
collision on one of the roads near Har-
risburg when the plaintiff in the case
was a passenger in his employer’s car.
He was injured on the face and one
hand but since then has developed an
incurable affection in one of his hips
and he brought action to recover for
that as a permanent injury. He
brought suit for twenty-five thousand
dollars.

Lloyd A. Stover, Coleville, Died as Re- :
sult of Coasting Accident.
Lloyd Allen Stover, fourteen year
old son of Recorder and Mrs. Lloyd
A. Stover, of Coleville, died at the
Centre county hospital at seven o’clock
on Monday morning as the result of
head injuries sustained in a coasting
accident about 7:30 o'clock on Sat-
urday evening. He had been out on
: the main street coasting with his
: younger sisters, and when Mrs. Stov-
er called the little girls in he decid-
ed to take another ride. Coasting
down from the top of the hill he saw
.an automobile approaching and de-
| cided to turn into the school house
‘ grounds. The lights of the car blind-
ed him and he ran into a telephone
:pole. The right side of his head
I struck the pole with considerable
force, cutting a gash on the side of
his face and inflicting a deep bruise
on his right temple.
The family physician was summon-
ed who made a thorough examination
but was unable to locate any serious
injury. On Sunday the boy suffered
no pain and felt so good that he got
up an ate a little ice cream. In fact
it was not until early Monday morning
that unfavorable sym) toms began to
develop. A physician was hastily
summoned and he advised prompt re-
moval to the hospital. He was taken
there at six o’clock but passed away
an hour later. Whether his death was
the result of a fracture or a bloed clot
on the brain is uncertain.
A son of Lloyd A. and Jessie Poor-
man Stover he was born at Cole-
ville Aug. 25, 1911, hence was in his
fifteenth year. He was a member of
the Sophomore class of the Bellefonte
| High school and a bright and well
! liked boy. In addition to his parents
he is survived by the following broth-
ers and sisters: Mrs. Raymond Brooks,
of Lake Worth, Fla.; Madaline, Don-
ald, Ralph, Grace, Jean, Pauline,
Eunice and Hilda, at home.
Rev. Homer C. Knox, of the Meth-
odist church, had charge of the funer-
al services, held at the home at two
o’clock yesterday afternoon, burial be-
ing made in the Union cemetery.

ter meeting at State College on Sat-
urday and Sunday, guests at the hand-
some new fraternity house of the

Annual Meeting of Bellefonte Board
of Trade.
The annual meeting of the Belle-

situte a quorum for the transaction
of business.

Jr., presided and after a resume of
the work of the Board during the
year by secretary Kelly, officers for
the new year were elected as recom-
mended by the nominating committee.
Consideration of the rather volum-
inous correspondence in the secreta-
ry’s files revealed that while the Board
hasn’t been making much ado over
what it has or is deing it has been
functioning well and with an eye
; single to following up any inquiries

Parlor Dining Car to be Located on

| The mystery surrounding the pur-
chase of the Walter C. Cohen lot, on
‘High street, last week by a New York

a woman’s bridge party last Thursday
night the cat was let out of the bag

The property was purchased as a
location for a parlor dining car.
| While no definite information is at
i hand as to the size of the car or the
. character of the eating service the
syndicate expects to give, it may be
inferred that it will be of an extra
: good quality from the price paid for a

and aunt, Mrs. BE. S. Dorworth and Miss
Alice, of Curtin street.

weeks in Philadelphia, working with her
former violin instructor, and has been
asked to broadcast during her stay in the
city, which it is expected she will do dur-
ing the latter part of her visit. Mrs. Schad
went east Sunday.
—Mrs. Ralph Mallory went east on Mon-
day, expecting to spend a part of the
month of Iebruary at her former home in
Philadelphia.
Murphy, having been ill for the greater
part of the winter, is the reason for the
visit at this time.
—Dr. E. H. Harris, of Snow Shoe, was
in Bellefonte yesterday, principally be-
cause the roads are so blockaded out there
that he had no hope of getting through
them for professional visits. He informed
us that from the car window he saw a
dozen or more motors stalled between
Gump Stump and the Intersection and,
also, that the snowfall out there measured
22 inches.

remained for a visit with her father, Rob-
ert Witmer and his family, Mr. Love re-

—Word comes from Harrisburg to the
effect that Mrs. William E. Seel, who was
taken so seriously ill several weeks ago, is
responding satisfactorily to treatment. Her
mother, Mrs. Martin Fauble, and her sis-
ter, Mrs. Schloss, both of this place, are
still with her and expect to be in Harris- {
burg until April, at least. Taking advan-
tage of their presence Mr. and Mrs, BE. F.
Tausig will sail for Italy for a short sea
trip for the benefit of Mr. Tausig’s health
which has been impaired of late. Mrs.
Tausig is a daughter of Mrs. Fauble.
The two weeks of revival ser-
vices recently conducted in the Metho-
dist church of this place by the Rev.
Homer Charles Knox were so fruitful
in results that forty-nine new mem-
bers were taken into the church. It
is wonderfully reassuring to learn
that in the midst of all the allurements
away from the house of God and in
spite of those who think the world is
drifting away from its safe anchor
there are such records to the con-
