TWO TRAGICAL FATALITIES. |
Nick DeLallo Crushed to Death by
Falling Rock.
Nick DeLallo, one of the best and
most faithful workmen at the Chemi-
cal Lime company operations, was in-
stantly killed at 9.45 o’clock on Sun-
day morning when he was hit by a
falling rock in the No. 1 quarry. He
was one of the company’s best drill-
ers and had just completed drilling
a hole in the face of the high cliff of
rock. He was in the act of disconnect-
ing the air hose preparatory to place-
ing a shot when a large stone, evident-
iy loosened by Saturday’s rain, drop-
ped from the top of the quarry and
struck him on the top of his head. He
was killed instantly.
DelLallo was born in Italy and would
have been fifty-seven years old next
month. He came to this country when
little more than a youth and for
thirty-six years had been employed in
the quarries near Bellefonte. He was
a naturalized American and a good
citizen. Surviving him are his wife
and nine children: Mrs. John Vetts
and Peter, of Bellefonte; George, of
Hazleton; Lucy, Anthony, Joseph,
Nancy, Angelo and Margaret, all at
home.
Funeral services were held in the
Catholic church at ten o'clock on
Wednesday morning by Rev. Father
Downes, after which burial was made
in the Catholic cemetery.
ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.
John Cogan, of Wingate, died in the
Centre County hospital on Sunday
morning as the result of injuries sus-
tained last Thursday when he was run
over by a wagon loaded with old rail-
road ties. Cogan, who was about
fifty-five years of age, worked for
James Davidson and at the time of the
accident was hauling old ties to the
Davidson home. He was riding on the
load of ties when one of them slipped,
throwing him off the load. He fell
beneath the wagon and before he
could roll out of danger the heavily
loaded vehicle caught him and ran
over his breast. All the ribs on his
right side and three on the left
were broken and one lung badly
crushed.
Cogan was a native of Pinecroft,
Blair county, but had worked for Mr.
Davidson at various times during the
past twenty or more years. He leaves
a widow, three daughters, two sons
and a brother living at Pinecroft.
Burial was made in the Stover ceme-
tery on Tuesday afternoon.
Annual Meeting of Centre County En-
gineering Society.
A fair-sized crowd of enthusiastic
members attended the annual meeting
of the Centre county Engineering
society, which was held in room 201,
engineering A building, State College,
last Wednesday afternoon. Follow-
ig the approval of the reports of the
secretary and treasurer, president E.
D. Walker reviewed the work of the
society for the past year. Col. W. P.
Rothrock opened a discussion which
considered certain engineering and de-
sign features of State College build-
ings.
Society delegates were elected for
the meeting of county delegates
which will be held at State College
at two o’clock on June 12th to elect
certain trustees of the Pennsylvania
State College, as follows: J. W. Hens-
zey and H. A. Leitzell, State College,
and B. L. Weaver, Bellefonte; alter-
nates, S. M. Shallcross, Bellefonte,
and Col. W. P. Rothrock, State Col-
lege.
Officers of the society for the en-
suing year were elected as follows:
President, E. D. Walker; vice presi-
dent, W. P. Rothrock; secretary and
treasurer, E. A. Holbrook.
President’s Secretary Acknowledges
Invitation to Summer in Bellefonte.
Burgess Hard P. Harris last Fri-
day received a letter from the secre-
tary of President Coolidge acknowl-
edging the invitation to spend the
summer in the Hastings home in
Bellefonte, stating that the kind offer
will be given due consideration when
the President takes up the question of
a summer White House.
Of course there are some people
who are inclined to scoff at the idea
of President Coolidge even consider-
ing Bellefonte as a summer home, but
there is no good reason why he
| couldn’t be made just as comfortable
here as anywhere else. Bellefonte
has entertained in the past men of
just as much importance as the Presi-
dent. In fact the town is noted as
the birthplace of great men, even if
none of them reached the Presidential
chair, and all of them lived and died
here.
Aside from that fact, Bellefonte has
as many if not more material at-
tractions as any other town in the
State, so why is there anything pre-
posterous in inviting the President to
.come here?
Max Kofman in Auto Accident.
On Monday evening Max Kofman
took a motor run down Bald Eagle
valley in his father’s Studebaker run-
about. Returning home he was unable
to negotiate the sharp reverse curve
at the Lingle farm with the result that
the car plunged over the bank, turned
turtle and was badly wrecked. Two
wheels were completely smashed, the
top was caved in and the car looked
as if it had been struck by a cyclone.

run into a regular orgy of election
days.
Everything was set for the election
day, January 26, last. At that time
the ballots were all printed and from
every able bodied resident of the vil-
lage was willing to immolate him or
herself on the altar of the first bor-
ough service.
Then remonstrants stepped in and
the election was held up until they
changed their minds by deciding that
they were no longer opposed to the
ambitions of the boro-ites.
Now they are confronted with more
elections in May than the ordinary
district has in an entire year
On May 4th they will have to hold
a primary to nominate a ticket for
the following officers that must be fili-
ed: Judge of election, two inspectors,
one burgess, seven councilmen, one
tax collector, two overseers of the
poor, one assessor, two justices of the
peace, two auditors, one constable
and one high constable. It will be
noted that they are not to elect school
directors at this time. This is be-
cause of overlapping of township and
borough authority in control of the
school properties which cannot be
reconciled until later.
May 15th they will have their bor-
ough election, when the new officials
will be chosen from the nominations
made on the 4th.
Then, on May 18th, the borough
will hold its first regular primary for
the county and State ticket nomina-
tions.

Retrial of Big Case in Court This
Week.
A special session of court is now
being held in Bellefonte for a retrial
of the now celebrated case of James
H. Cullen, of New York, vs. the Es-
H. Rowland, of Philipsburg, an action
in deceit to recover damages for al-
leged misrepresentation in the sale of
a coal mine in Clearfield county, by
Congressman Rowland to Mr. Cullen
in 1917.
The case was orginally tried at the
February term of court, 1925, before
Judge Miles J. Potter, at which time
the jury returned a verdict in favor
of the plaintiff in the sum of $40,073.-
32. Attorneys for the defendants
promptly made a motion for a new
trial and following argument Judge
Potter granted the same for the rea-
son that he considered the verdict ex-
cessive.
The ease this week is being tried
before Judge Harry Keller, of Belle-!
fonte. The plaintiff is represented by
attorneys M. Ward Fleming, of Phil- |
ipsburg, and Spangler and Walker,
of Bellefonte. The interests of the
defendants are being looked after by
attorneys A. M. Liveright, of Clear-
field; George W. Zeigler, of Philips-
burg, and Orvis and Zerby, of Belle-
fonte. A complete resume of the case
was given at the time of the trial a
little over a year ago.
The second trial this week is being
contested through all fhe phases of
legal technicality. The plaintiff has
taken up all the time so far and the
defense is yet to be heard, so that
it looks as if the case will run through
most of next week.
Odd Fellows Have Big Gathering at
State College.
Central Pennsylvania Odd Fellows
invaded State College on Tuesday for
their annual meeting in celebration
of the 107th anniversary of the found-
ing of Odd Fellowship in America. It
is estimated that two thousand mem-
bers of the order were present with
one hundred officially credited dele-
gates at the business meeting, while
the total crowd was between five and
six thousand.
At the business meeting: Berwick
was selected as the place for holding
next year’s celebration and officers
for the ensuing year were elected as
follows: President, Harry C.Keight-
ley, of Williamsport; vice president,
Gilbert Rupp, of Harrisburg; secreta-
ry, W. E. H. Laird, of Williamsport;
assistant secretary, Antheny Cock-
burn, of Williamsport; treasurer,
Harland B. Prutzman, of William-
sport; chaplain, G. W. Morton, of
Renovo.
The big parade in the afternoon
was a feature of the gathering. It
was in four divisions and in addition
to the hundreds of Odd Fellows ten
bands were in line. Following the
parade the visitors were given an op-
portunity to inspect the College prop-
erty. In the evening a degree meet-
ing was held and also a dance in the
college armory.

——The fact that manager T. Clay-

Manager Wm. H. Brown, of the
hospital, appeared before the board |
with the suggestion that the women
take over the management of the laun-
dry at the institution. The reaction
to the idea seems to have been that
the ladies feel that the work is not in
line with the purposes of their organ-
ization and that they are not at pres-
ent favorable to any such undertaking
so it was laid on the table.
During the month of April they
made and sent to the hospital 24
sheets, 24 bed spreads and 9 wash
cloths. In addition to this the Catho-
lic Daughters sent 6 doz pillow cases
and the auxiliary of the Methodist
church finished 18 large sheets, 2
crib sheets, 6 counter-panes and 24
pillow cases.
The receipts from the recent food
sale were reported as having been
$71.50.
The following committees were ap-
pointed to serve for the next four
months:

Mrs. Chas. Thompson.

are unable to send them should call
Mrs. Russell Blair and they will be
called for.
Rally Day at Evangelical Church.
Rally day services were held at the
Evangelical church in Bellefonte on
Sunday and they were fraught with
such spiritual and material interest
that the pastor, Rev. Reed O. Steely,
and every member of the eongrega-
tion has experienced a wonderful feel-
ing of encouragement all week.
As an incentive to a large turnout
the pastor secured for both the morn-
ing and evening services the Coburn
orchestra of twelve pieces and a choir
(of twenty voices from the same place.
And so the musicians would feel more
at home he invited their pastor, Rev.
H. C. Kleffel to be present and preach
the sermons. It was a splendid com-
bination. The visiting pastor de-
livered two eloquent discourses and
the music of both the orchestra and
the choir was worth hearing.
The result was when the real ebject
of the rally was reached, an effort to
raise money to reduce the church debt,
everybody was in a mellow mood and
the handsome sum of one thousand
dollars was contributed and pledged.
This will materially reduce the: debt
incurred last year in enlarging and
remodeling their church property,
whieh is now on a par with most. of
the ehurches in Bellefonte.

below the Flemington bridge. Author-

the result of an accident. She was a

ler, was born in Flemington and lived
there all her life. In addition to her
hushand she is survived by one daugh-
ter, Hazel Gray, a school teacher in
Lock Haven. She also leaves three
brothers and three sisters, one of the
latter being Miss Hilda Bressler, of
State College.
