The main feature on the pro- gramme was the awarding of the + Pena State Seal to all those who had ‘ faithfully served in the band for three and one half years. Fourteen, out of the sixty-five members present, re- ‘ceived these rewards, two of whom S were Harold Wion and J. Henry Gar- brick.

As he did so there was an explosion of _ ‘gas and the flame there-from shot up his left arm. He promptly smothered the flames with his coat but his left “hand ‘was painfully burned. The mys- ‘tery of the accident is how an ex- _plosion could occur from an electric _ light, and the only possible explana-. tion is that the insulation on the drag- ‘line had worn through and in hand- ling it a spark was struck from a .-short circuit. : om Extensive ioTovements being made to the McClain block, .

Spangler in Opinion Rendered. Burgess Hard P. H Harris personally appeared before the borough council, at its regular meeting on Monday evening, and delivered to the chair- man of the Fire and Police commitiee his check for $200 for fines and li- censes collected during the first two months of 1926. The burgess also re- ported that one of the policemen is in need of a new uniform. Burgess Har- ris stated that salesmen for fireworks ‘are making their rounds in Bellefonte and local merchants are undecided about investing owing to the uncer- tainty of a ban being placed on the sale of same at the Fourth of July season. The burgess stated that he believed in the celebration of Inde- pendence day by both young and old, but is in favor of restricting fireworks to the harmless kind. Council decided "to leave the matter up to the burgess, as there is no ordinance governing the sale or restriction of fireworks. At this stage in the proceedings the secretary read a rather lengthy opin- ion from borough solicitor N. B. Spangler in which he held that the borough has a legal right to dispose "of the surplus water from the big spring to any individual desiring to purchase same. Mr. Spangler went back to the date of the original trans- fer of the spring from James Smith to John Harris, and its deed by the latter gentleman to the borough of Bellefonte, and following down to the present date gave it as This opinion that the borough has now legal pos- session of the spring, without any ‘restrictions whatever, to do w ith as it may see fit. Aside from presenting the opinion of the borough solicitor the Water committee had made no further inves- tigations relative to Waiter C. Cohen’s request for the privilege to sell the surplus water from the spring and they were instructed to get all details possible so as to be in shape to make a recommendation .of some character. . The Street committee reported that most of the work during the past two weeks consisted of cleaning snow and ice from the streets. . The Water committee reported the collection of $76.95 on the 1924 water duplicate and $75.00 for old junk. The Fire and Police committee, in reporting the fire at Kofman’s coal yard on Saturday morning, took occa- sion to pay a tribute to Bellefonte firemen for their good work at the fire. The Finance committee asked for the renewal of notes totaling $33,000, which was authorized. A written communication was re- ofivod rom Nathan Kofman protest- ‘ing aghinst council granting the right to other property owners on south Thomds street to erect a retaining wall along his property in order to “fill upithe street. Mr. Kofman stated that | is his intention to erect houses on property and the construction of a rétaining wall will cause consider- able damage to the land. In this connection the Street committee re- ported: that they had inspected the street at the point where property owners desire to make the fill and that in theiy opinion a retaining wall is the only solution, but they .have no in- former as to street or property lines the borough’s rights. They were ipstructed to consult the borough solicit r and report at next meeting. * Mr. Brouse reported that two weeks or‘mcte ago William Fishburn drove his cdr to the intersection of west High and Thomas streets and in at- tempting to turn around the car skid- ded on the ice and crashed’into a stone ‘at the;corner of the pavement, causing damages of about $28, which he wants the borough to pay. Members of council did not acknowledge the bor- ough’siliability. Bonn “Mr. [Cunningham stated to council that at almost every fire some of the fireme have their clothing soiled, and ‘perhaps damaged, because of the fact at they always responded to an alarm Witho taking time to don old cloth- ing and he recommended that a fund f two or three hundred dollars be set ide put of which to {pay for the ‘cleaning, pressing and [repairing of cing soiled or, damaged; the airman of the Fire and Police.com- itteeland the chiefs of the two com- paniesito have charge of the fund and kdirect ‘any expenditure therefrom. ‘A ‘resulution was passed setting aside the sum of $300 for such purpose.

It will be recalled that on petition ! the proceedings were taken out of the Federal courts last fall and soon thereafter Judge Dale named three receivers to take charge of the bank's affairs. There was some disappoint- ment over the Court’s selection of re- ceivers, but the gentlemen went to work with a promptness and zeal that lent encouragement to the thought that at last real headway was being made toward winding up the tangled affairs without further unnecessary litigation. From what we have been able to gather the same spirit back of the petition to take the case out of the Federal courts and place it in our own county courts is now behind the move to peddle it back to the Federal court again. The petition that threatens the new litigation is signed by George A. Beezer, Bellefonte, Geo. H. Yarnell, of Mingoville, and Mrs. Josephine Gren- Centre County Banking Company and all of the alleged partners, as part- ners and individually be adjudged bankrupts. It is made returnable at! Scranton on Wednesday, March 10th, at which date those summoned must make answer. The substance on which the petition rests is the averment that Judge Dale’s appointment of receivers recognized an pointment of receivers recognized an act of bankruptey and thus paved the way for dragging the controversy back into the Federal courts, where it otherwise would have been impossible to have taken it again. Just what view the District court will take of the petition of course is a mere matter of conjecture. Some lawyers are of the opinion that it has a good foundation in law. Others are of the opposite view. However, should the petition prevail there is every in- dication of another long drawn-out legal controversy. John G. Love Jr., is the representa- tive of record of the petitioners. Exit Penn State Telephone Company. Promptly on the stroke of twelve o’clock, Sunday midnight, a switch was thrown in the operating room of the Bell Telephone company of Penn- sylvania which shut off forever the service of the Penn State Telephone company and automatically cut in on the Bell board all subscribers of the absorbed company. Every connéction had been made and so far as known old Penn State subscribers who con- tinued service with the Bell did not miss a call. Three of the young women opera- tors in the Penn State exchange have been given employment in the Bell ex- change. They are Misses Kathryn McGowan, Ruth Howley and Sarah Love. As stated last week, the entire outside working force of the Penn State company has also been given jobs by the Bell Company. The next step will be the removal of all Penn State telephones from private residences and places of busi- ness and the demolishing of the plant in Temple Court. This work will be done just as soon as possible, especial- ly the clearing out of the rooms oc- cupied by the Penn State exchange. These rooms have been leased by the Whiterock Quarries and just as soon as they are vacated and can be put in shape Whiterock officials will move there from their present offices in the Centre county bank building, — “rene,” with Colleen Moore and Lloyd Hughes, at the Scenic next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Sunday was a big day for Metho- | 'dists in Howard. The congregation of the church in that place rededicated their church, which had been closed for some months while being remodel- ed throughout and now it has been so changed and beautified that it is to all purposes and intents a new house of worship, and, though the cost of the work exceeded twelve thousand dol- lars the indebtedness was over-sub- scribed at the meetings on Sunday. The dedicatory services began with the meeting of the Sunday school at 9.30 o'clock on Sunday morning. It was an auspicious opening, as mem- bers of the school and visitors present numbered 165. Following music and prayer by W. C. Thompson a plate collection was taken up which yielded $36. The principal address to the Sun- day ‘school was made by Rev. M. C. Piper, of Milesburg. Morning church services began at 10.30 o’clock, with Miss Vonda John- son presiding at the organ. Following half an hour’s service of song, scrip- ture reading and prayer the morning sermon was delivered by Rev. George F. Boggs, D. D., of Renovo, who twen- ty-five years ago was the regular pas- tor on the Howard charge. The ser- vice closed with prayer by the pastor, Rev. A. R. Price. Mr. M. C. Muffly, chairman of the building committee, submitted a report which showed that the entire cost of remodeling and refu” .ishing = the church was $12,378.39. Of that amount $8,778.39 had been paid in leaving as a balance to be raised $3,600. The afternoon services opened at 2.30 o'clock. Prayer was offered by Rev. Brumbaugh, of Mill Hall, after which Irvin Pletcher, of Howard, and Miss Grove, of Bellefonte, sang a duet, “Springtime of the Soul.” Greet- ings were then read from former pastors and friends, including Rev. N. B. Smith, of Clearfield, who preached at Howard thirty-five years ago; from Bishop W. F. McDowell, of Washington, D. C.; Rev. Poulson, dis- ‘trict evangelist; Mrs. Kate Shoemak- er, a former pastor’s wife; Rev. Steel, of Mapleton, and Rev. Rolin S. Taylor, of South Williamsport. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. Barton, of Muncy valley, after which the dedica- tory sermon was delivered by Rev. Watkins, district superintendent, of Williamsport. This was followed with ka vocal duet by Irvin Pletcher and John Baird, of Milesburg, after which the remodeled church was formally dedicated to the worship of God. The omening musical portion of the evening services at 7 o’clock was fur- nished by a male quartette. Rev. M. S. Q. Mellotte, of South Williamsport, offered prayer. Rev. Barton and wife sang a duet, written by the pastor on his personal experiences and ‘sang in public for the first time. A plate col- lection was then lifted after which Mrs. D. A. Holter sang a solo, “The Prophet King.” Rev. N. B. Smith read the scripture lesson and following an- other solo by Irvin Pletcher the even- ing sermon was delivered by Dr. Wat- kins, substituting for Rev. J. W. Long, of Dickinson Seminary, who was un- able to be present. money and pledges to cancel the debt yielded a little over cne hundred dol- lars more than the amount needed and following a song of praise the bene- diction was pronounced by Dr. Wat- kins. Among those present at Sunday’s services were Mrs. A. M. Butler, who attended the corner stone laying fifty years ago; A. M. Butler and Burdine Butler, who hauled the stone from the mountain to build the foundation for the church; Mrs. Ella Smith, who was: organist at the original dedication of the church; Miss Mary Holter, of Wil- liamsport, and Mrs. Z. T. Weirick, the first members taken into the congre- gation after the church was built half a century ago; Mrs. Kate Lucas, Mrs. Kate Williams, W. F. Hall and Mrs. Clara Kline Hicks, widow of the late Rev. Owen Hicks, of Williamsport, who as a small girl sang at the origi- nal dedication of the church. Fifty Dollars for the Return of a Do.

Smiling and affable as ‘usual, ' Nathan Kofman’s Coal Shed Badly Damaged by Fire. g» The coal shed of Nathan Kofmian was badly damaged by fire, at two o'clock last Saturday morning, which also destroyed two of his largest coal trucks, about two car loads of waste paper and ruined a car load of cement. The flames were discovered about two o’clock and had then gained such headway that the entire south- ern portion of the shed was in flames. Both fire companies were quickly on the ground and did admirable work in confining the fire to the southern por- tion of the shed. But they could not save the warehouse in which the waste paper and cement were stored, or, a small garage in which the two coal trucks were housed. Naturally there is no definite knowl- edge as to the origin of the fire, though Mr. Kofman inclines to the be- lief that the place was set on fire by some person maliciously inclined. But when the fire was discovered the flames had already progressed so far that it was impossible to tell where the fire started. But it presented a very dangerous and threatening aspect until the firemen got into service. The flames shot high into the air and showers of sparks from the burning waste paper were carried over the southern portion of the town, even as far as the Diamond and up on Bishop street east of Allegheny. Fortunate- ly they were only paper sparks and did not set fire to any building. Mr. Kofman estimates that his loss over and above his insurance will be from six to seven thousand dollars. He carried eight or nine thousand dol- lars insurance on his buildings, two thousand on his trucks but nothing on the contents of the warehouse. As soon as his insurance is adjusted he will begin operations on rebuilding. State Highway Dept. Offices to be Moved from Temple Court to: Bush Arcade, ; The dance hall on the third floor of the Bush Arcade, which has been o0s- tracized as a place for tripping the light fantastic because it is not equipped with an auxiliary lighting system, is to be converted into a large suite of offices to be occupied by the State Highway Department. The department’s present offices on the fourth floor of the Temple Court build- ing are too small for the constantly increasing expansion of the office re- quirements, and the Bush Arcade hall is the best solution of the difficulty to be found in Bellefonte. Work on converting the hall into offices suitable to the demands of the Highway Department will be begun within a few days and as soon as the work is completed the offisgs will be moved, os Hospital Auxiliary el re The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Centre County hospital was held in the W.
