i ONCE VALUABLE PROPERTY
NOW A PILE OF RUINS.
Wind and Weather Knocking Down
Old Steam Heating Plant.
Wind, weather and idleness are
playing havoc with the old steam
heat and gas plant, at the corner of
Spring and Lamb streets, Bellefonte.
Compelled to close down in the early
stages of the world war, when the
price of coal made it impossible for
the owners to operate the plant, it
has been allowed to lie idle ever since,
and being the subject of considerable
litigation, it was never sold nor dis-
mantled and the ravages of idleness
and time have played havoc with what
at one time was deemed a very es-
sential utility. During the past
week or two the entire roof surround-
ing the big brick smokestack caved in
right on top of the auxiliary high
pressure boiler, and the remainder of
the building is so decayed and time-
worn that it is a menace to people
passing close to it, and it is only a
question of time until the whole thing
will collapse.
Bellefonte is probably one of the
few towns in the State, of its size,
that does not have the advantage of
either natural gas or artificial gas.
The old gas plant was built over
seventy years ago, in 1855 to be ex-
act, at a cost of $50,000. That was a
lot of money at that time, but it was
before the days of electric light and
gaslight at that time was a big im-
provement over the coal oil lamp and
tallow candle. Naturally for over a
third of a century it had the light-
ing business in Bellefonte without op-
position.
In 1884, Bellefonte was one of the
pioneer towns in the introduction of
steam heat, and a plant was estab-
lished in connection with the gas plant
at an expense of $75,000. The ex-
pansion of the business necessitated
additional equipment and $30,000 or
more were expended for this purpose.
Then came the collapse when the
price of coal made it impossible to
operate the plant, and both the gas
and steam heat plant were shut down.
A little over two years ago the school
board of Bellefonte instituted con-
demnation proceedings with a view
of taking over the property for school
purposes. The jury appointed to ap-
praise the value of the property nam-
ed $7,500 as the figure. At the time
there was and still is $42,000 of mort-
gages on the property, $12,000 first
and $30,000 second. The second
mortgage is held by Mrs. Mary L.
Orvis, who also holds $3,000 of the
first mortgage. The award in the
school board's condemnation proceed-
ings was never contested in the court
but in the meantime the board pur-
chased the Clement Dale property
and converted it into a building for
primary schools, so that now they
have no use for the old steam heat
property and it has now reached such
a decrepit. stage that about the only
value that attaches to it is that of
old junk and the land upon which it
stands. : pi
Joseph Alexander Home Robbed on
| Sunday Night.
The home of Joseph Alexander, of
near Unionville, was broken into on
Sunday night and robbed of a gold
watch, two gold-bar pins, a dollar in
cash and a good, square meal. From
the amount of food eaten the burglar
must have been quite hungry, and
suspicion points to a colored convict,
Joe Williams, who made his escape
from the Rockview penitentiary some
time last Thursday evening. The
man was serving a sentence of three
to six years, and had been sent up
from Erie county. He was not missed
until the final roll call between eight
and nine o’clock and guards were
promptly hustled out in all directions
but the negro had disappeared.
On Thursday afternoon two strange
negroes were observed driving slow-
ly along the State highway through
the penitentiary ground, and this
gave rise to the thought that Wil-
liams may have been taken away with
them. The state censtabulary and
police officials within one hundred
miles were notified but no one saw a
car with three colored men in it. On
Friday night two lumeh baskets of
men employed at the limestone quar-
ries up Buffalo Run valley were rified
of their contents and this led to the
belief that the negro was still in this
section. Such being the ease the rob
bery of the Alexander home might
also have been done by him, and es-
pecially as he made away with an un-
usually large quantity of food. A
plate carried off by the burglar was
found in a swampy piece of ground
between the Alexander home and the
foot of Bald Eagle mountain.

Well Known Bellefonte Couple Cele-
brate Wedding Anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. George H. Hazel cele-
brated the silver anniversary of their
marriage last Saturday at a dinner
in their honor in the apartments of
Mr. and Mrs. William H. Kline, Mrs,
Kline being their elder daughter.
On March 27, 1901, Mr. Hazel! was
married to Miss Emma Wagner. The
ceremony was celebrated at the home
of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
A. Y. Wagner, on Willowbank street,
and at the time was quite a festal
event. Mr. Hazel was then a clerk in
the Joseph and Co., store of which he
is now manager and half owner, and
his fellow employees then presented
the young couple with a satin silver
cake plate. The ceremony was per-
formed by the late Rev. Thomas
Levan Bickel, then pastor of the Re-
formed church; assisted by the Rev.
A. A. Black, of Boalsburg, who was
Miss Wagner’s pastor before her
family moved to this place.
That they have been blessed with
good fortune during the quarter cen-
tury of their married life was signi-
fied by the presentation to Mr. and
Mrs. Hazel, on Saturday, of a replica
of the silver dish that had been given
them so long ago; the first by his fel-
low clerks, the replica by his em-
ployees.

SOLDIER BOYS MAKING
A SPLENDID RECORD.
Bellefonte Machine Gun Troop a Lead-
er in National Guard.
A preliminary inspection of Troop
B, 52nd machine gun squadron, of
Bellefonte, was made by Major H.
Laird Curtin, the squadron command-
er, on Monday night. preliminary to
the annual federal inspection which
will be held on Monday night. April
12th. On Sunday Major Curtin in-
spected Troop A, at Boalsburg, Capt.
Philip Shoemaker, commanding, and
was present at the inspection of Troop
C, at Lewistown, over a week ago.
While the turnout of men in the
Boalsburg troop on Sunday was small
the inspection was very good.
Following Monday evening’s in-
spection of Troop B Major Curtin
complimented Capt. Herbert S. Miller,
the other officers and personnel of the
troop on their wonderful showing and
proficiency in drill—the machine gun
drill being the hardest to conquer and
execute. His remarks indicated that
he was particularly impressed with
the work of the troop. He also ex-
pressed the opinion, in which he was
substantiated by Capt. John W.
Weeks, regular army officer stationed
here as instructor of the squadron,
that at the present time the Belle-
fonte troop leads the other organiza-
tions of the cavalry brigade, and if
the same interest and enthusiasm is
shown at the federal inspection the
organization will undoubtedly head all
others in the National Guard.
Particularly gratifying were his re-
marks to both men and officers, all of
whom have worked hard and consist-
ently the past three months to bring
the troop above the standard main-
tained in previous years. This has
been accomplished through the co-0p-
eraticn of every man, each of whom
has learned to “play the soldier game”
in detail. ;
Bellefonte people are urged to wit-
ness the federal inspection on April
12th, when the troop will stage a bat-
tle scene with blank ammunition. This
promises to be a novel entertainment,
destined to please the outsider.
John Tonner Harris Given Another
Promotion.
John Tonner Harris, a native of
Bellefonte, has been appointed gen-
eral traffic manager of the entire
Central Pennsylvania system of the
Bell Telephone company of Pennsyl-
vania, with headquarters in Harris-
burg, effective May 1st. Mr. Harris
is a brother of burgess Hard P.
Harris, of Bellefonte, and a graduate
of State College class of 1897. He
began his telephone career in 1898
when he started in as an installer of
phones in Altoona, for the old Cen-
tral Pennsylvania Telephone and Sup-
ply company. Two years later he was
“|'appointed manager of the Philipsburg
office but held that position only a
year when he was promoted to man-
‘ager of the Altoona office.
In 1907 he was made traffic super-
visor for, the Pennsylvania Telephone
company in Harrisburg, and the year
following was made division traffic
manager for the newly organized
Bell Telephone company, with head-
quarters in Harrisburg. In February,
1914, he was made traffic superin-
tendent and in 1920 was transferred
to Pittsburgh as traffic superintendent
of the Pittsburgh division. Three
years ago he was promoted to gener-
al traffic manager in Philadelphia,
where he had charge of the traffic de-
partment of the Bell and associated
companies in that city.
General traffic manager of the Cen-
tral Pennsylvania district is a new
position, just created because of the
increased business incident to the tak-
ing over by the Bell company of the
Penn State Telephone company, and
the business in the district is much
greater today than the Bell had in
the entire State a few years ago.

that quickly had time to talk some poli-
tics to Democratic friends here. Bill is an
old school Democrat, one of the kind who
has it—the real fighting spirit that never
says die. He is convinced that Senator
Betts will run even better in Clearfield
next fall than he did four years ago and
he ought to know, for he has been active
in politics over there as long as we have
known anytning about political activities
in our sister county. 2
