A certain Bellefonte gardener
has another kick coming against the
big, black night crawlers. Not con-
tent with pulling up his onions, when
they were planted, they recently at-
tacked some newly set out tomato
plants, stripping off the tender leaves
and pulling several of the plants
almost entirely into the ground, top
first. The gardener is now wondering
what they will tackle next.
Motion picture fans who pat-
ronize the Scenic regularly. are en-
thusiastic over the high class pictures
being shown there night after night.

——The Keystone Power Corpora-
tion is planning to hold a school for
meter testers at State College dur-
ing the latter part of the month. The
school is designed for the purpose of
acquainting a class of college students
who desire work during vacation with
the essential requisites for testing
meters. Two or three weeks will be
devoted to instruction after which the
young men will be given employment
at testing out the company’s meters,
about four thousand of them, all told.
———John Paul Jones, not the cap-
tain who stood on the burning deck,
but the man who officiates as messen-
ger, night watchman and janitor at
the First National bank of Bellefonte,
is now in his twenty-ninth year of
service with that institution. Paul's
father died in 1897, when he was but
sixteen years old, and he succeeded
him in his position at the bank. It
goes without saying that Paul has
always been raithful to every trust
and it would be hard to get a man who
would better fill his place.
i It required the services of two
of the Emerick company’s big motor
busses and from twenty-five to thirty
private cars to convey the members of
Bellefonte camp P. O. S. of A. and
Wetzler’s band on their Memorial
services trip on Sunday afternoon.
Leaving Bellefonte about 1.30 o’clock
the first stop was at Pleasant Gap.
Thence they went to Shiloh and from
there to Centre Hall, winding up at
Boalsburg at six o’clock in the even-
ing. In addition to members of the
organization quite a number of other
Bellefonte people trailed along to
witness the services.
| ~——The Chemical Lime and Stone
company put off another big blast in
its quarry up Buffalo Run valley, be-
tween two and three o'clock last
Thursday afternoon, and while offi-
cials of the company maintain that it
was not much over fifty per cent. as
powerful as the one put off about a
year ago, people living in Bellefonte
thought it the heaviest blast ever put
off in this vicinity. But those were
people on top of the ledge of rock af-
fected by the big explosion. They all
aver that it shook their houses until
the windows rattled and felt as if the
explosion was in the house. Others
whose homes are not located on the
ledge scarcely noticed the blast.
BOROUGH LAWMAKERS
HAVE BUSY SESSION.
Many Questions Considered at Monday
Night’s Meeting.
The seven members present at Mon-
day evening’s session of borough
council were asked to solve a new
question when Robert F. Hunter pre-
sented a request for the establishment
of a line for his property on Curtin
street. According to his statement
some six years ago he purchased what
was then known as the James A. Mec-
Clain property, located just east of
Cowdrick alley. His deed called for
one hundred foot frontage from the
north-east corner of Cowdrick alley.
During the past two years a lot
adjoining his property was sold to
Charles Schaeffer, who built himself a
home thereon and there has developed
quite a controversy as to the line be-
tween the two properties. In fact Mr.
Hunter claims that Mr. Schaeffer has
encroached considerably on his prop-
erty and the only way the question
can be decided is for council to de-
finitely locate the corner of Cowdrick
alley. The matter was referred to the
Street committee, borough manager
and borough engineer.
Dr. C. M. Parrish again appeared
before council and made complaint
about the alleged leaky condition of
the sanitary sewer on Pike alley,
claiming that it not only damaged his
property but was a menace to the
health of the residents of that section.
Borough manager Seibert expressed
the opinion that most of the trouble
complained of came from old cess-
pools, a number of which are located
in that vicinity. Mr. Cunningham sug-
gested that if the property owners de-
sire an iron sewer pipe laid they
should be willing to contribute some-
thing toward the expense: of doing so.
The matter was finally referred to the
Street committee and borough mana-
ger with power.
George C. Bingaman stated to coun-
cil that he had purchased lots on east
Curtin street, between Armor and
Wilson streets, and is ready to be-
gin the erection of two new houses,
and he asked that the water line be
extended to his properties. The Water
committee reported that the cost of
laying a four inch line from Armor
street east would be approximately
$240, and recommended that nothing
less than a four inch line be put down.
The matter was referred to the com-
mittee for further investigation and
report and Mr. Bingaman was granted
permission to lay a temporary surface
line to furnish water for his building
operations. Mr Bingaman also asked
if there would be any possibility of
getting a sewer extension to his new
properties, he offering to contribute
$100 towards the expense thereof.
The matter was referred to the Street
committee.
Secretary Kelly presented the re-
port of the auditors of the Pruner
orphanage fund, which was ordered
filed. He also presented the deed for
the property at the big spring recently
purchased . from. the Bellefonte Lum-
ber company.
A notice was received from the
Philipsburg Bus company that a hear-
ing will be held in Harrisburg on June
17th on their application for a certif-
icate of public convenience to put into
service a bus line for passenger ser-
vice only between Philipsburg and
Bellefonte by way of Snow Shoe.
A notice was also received from
John Henry Davy that he has made
application for a renewal of his certif-
icate of public convenience to operate
a taxi service in Bellefonte.
A communication was received from
the Thomas Jefferson Independence
Anniversary Celebration association
requesting that Bellefonte set aside a
week for a proper abservance of the
150th anniversary of American inde-
pendence. No action was taken in the
matter.
* Another communication was receiv-
ed from the secretary of the State
Association of Boroughs calling at-
tention to the fact that the annual
convention will be beld at Strouds-
burg June 22-24. President Walker
appointed as councilmanic delegates
to the meeting Messrs. John P. Eckel
and W. Frederick Reynolds, while the
burgess and borough solicitor are also
empowered to attend.
The Street committee reported that
the flooring of the Willowbank street
bridge had been completed and repairs
made on a number of streets.
The Water committee presented
$5.00 collected from the Christy Bros.
circus. They also reported that bids
had been requested on lumber, paint-
ing, ete., for a fence 142 feet in length
and six feet high at the Phoenix
pumping station, to enclose the un-
sightly piles of old material stored
there. The total cost will be in the
neighborhood of $200, and the com-
mittee was instructed to go ahead and
have the fence erected. ;
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that M. A. Landsy has very
generously granted the committee
permission to clean up the plot of
ground on south Water street where
the old laundry was located for use as
a parking space for automobiles when
any one wishes to stop there to see
the fish. The borough to have the use
of the ground this summer and prob-
ably next summer, without any cost,
but to surrender the same when re-
quested.
The Finance committee requested
the renewal of notes totalling $13,600,
and that a new note be executed for
$5000 to meet current bills, and the
same was authorized.
A communication was received from
the Atlantic Refining company pro-
testing against a bill of $4.00 for
water when they do not have any
water at their plant. The bill in
question is the regular charge for fire
protection and the Water committee
was instructed to handle the matter.
Bills totalling $6,051.41 were ap-
proved for payment after which coun-
cil adjourned.

At the Centre County Hospital.
The board of trustees of the Centre :
county hospital announce that Miss
Hubbell, of Brittan, Conn., a gradu-
ate of Drexel Institute, has been en-
gaged as dietitian at the institution
and has already reported for duty.

porch, the maternity ward and the
nursery are still to be furnished, all
the other rooms having been taken.
The treasurer’s report showed the
funds available for building purposes
to be about exhausted, and the work
of finishing has naturally slowed up
for lack of money. A special collec-
tor will make an effort to gather in
the unpaid subscriptions of the big
“Serve Centre’s Sick” drive, the mat-
ter being looked after by the Kiwanis
club. :

Alf Banm Captures a Mexican.
On Monday Alf Baum motored up
Bald Eagle valley for the purpose of
nailing up attractive . signs for the
Brockerhoff house. Between Bald
Eagle and Vail he saw a supposed
colored man come out of the woods
onto the highway and from the way
he was dressed he at once concluded
that he was an escaped prisoner from
Rockview penitentiary. Inquiries of a
gang of railroad trackmen working
nearby brought the information that
they knew nothing about the man and
that he was a stranger in that locality.
With visions of fifty dollars easy
money (the reward always paid for
the capture of an escaped prisoner)
Mr. Baum turned around, drove down
the highway until he overtook the
man.
Inviting him into his car he pro-
ceeded to interrogate him but the
stranger, who proved to he a Mexican
instead of a negro, refused to answer
any questions but maintained that he
had been working on the railroad.
Driving to the nearest telephone Mr.
Baum called the penitentiary and in-
formed them of his capture. Deputy
warden McFarland drove up to Bald
Eagle but found that the man was not
an esciped prisoner. He acted in
such a suspicious manner, however,
that the deputy brought him to Belle-
fonte and delivered him to sheriff
Taylor, at the county jail. There he
gave his name as Langine Romireg,
but refused to tell where he had come
from. Up to this time the sheriff has
not been able to learn anything about
him and it is quite probable he will be
deported back to Mexico.
HYDRO-ELECTRIC PLANT
NOW BEING TESTED.
Big Dam at McCoys Filled to Capaci-
ty and Electric Current being
Manufactued.
Travelers along the state highway
between Bellefonte and Milesbuig
gazed with open eyed astonishment on
the wonderful lake of water made by
the filling of the big dam erected by
John McCoy, at the old McCoy iron
furnace, for the operation of his new
hydro-electric plant. This dam, built
of solid concrete, stretches from the
bed of the Pennsylvania railroad on
the west to the road embankment on
the east, and when filled the water is
damned back to the old fair grounds.
{In fact that portion of the ground
where the stables were located is
under water and in the main channel
of Spring creek the water is backed
up almost three-fourths of the dis-
tance along the grounds. The level of
the water is less than three feet from
the bed of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The dam is of sufficient height to
give a heading of from fourteen to
sixteen feet at the big water wheel,
and the tail race has been dug out for
quite a distance below the plant in
order to give every inch of fall that
could be secured. While Mr. McCoy
has given no figures on the cost of
his enterprise it is estimated that his
total expenditure will be in the neigh-
borhood of $60,000. The engineer in
charge of the construction of his dam
and hydro-electric plant was John
Eckerts, of Lock Haven, and he is
jubilant over the undertaking as being
a splendid business proposition.
As stated in this paper some time
ago Mr. McCoy has entered into an
agreement with the Keystone Power
corporation to take all the juice he
can manufacture at his plant, and en-
gineers have figured that it will
i amount to about five per cent. of what
the company is now using. The plant
i was started up on Tuesday and is now
| being tested out to see just what it
| will make, but it will probably be a
| few days before it will be in active
operation.
| Aside from the business proposition
entailed in the building of the dam
for hydro-electric purposes such a
| large body of water as that now is
will make a splendid place for fish,
,and in a few years it ought to offer
| splendid sport to the fisherman. As
the backed water is almost a mile in
extent it will also make a good boat-
ing course, if the owner doesn’t object,
so that the big dam may eventually be
made to serve various purposes.

| Club of Bellefonte, Pa.

present year at it’s May meeting

Bellefonte Curb Market to Open Sat-
urday, June 19th.
The Bellefonte curb market for the
season of 1926 is scheduled to open on
Saturday, June 19th, according to the
announcement of John B. Payne. It
was his original intention to fix the
opening date for tomorrow but be-
cause of the cool weather and back-
wardness of all garden truck it was
decided to fix the opening date as
June 19th. By that time home grown
strawberries will be ripening and
ready for market; in fact, some grow-
ers have already picked a few baskets
for their own use, but by the latter
part of next week they will likely be
quite plentiful.
The curb market this year should
be better than that of last summer,
according to reports. A number of
farmers and truck growers who pat-
ronized the market last year but who
had not planted with that end in view,
have largely increased their truck
patch this year, so that the supply
ought to be equal to all demands.
Strawberries, which will be the
earliest fruit to be marketed, are re-
ported as being quite plentiful and
the bountiful rains we have had the
past week or so will be a great help
in maturing the crop. Cherries also,
are reported plentiful and it won’t be
many days until the early varieties
will be ripening.

Domestic Relations - Cases Heard in
Court.
At a special session of court, on
Monday morning, one of the cases
heard was that of Mrs. Delia Whit-
ing, of Bellefonte, against her hus-
band, H. F. Whiting, of Beaver Falls,
for non-support. The court made an
order directing the defendant to pay
$25 a month towards his wife’s sup-
port.
David F. Young, formerly of Belle-
fonte, brought action against his
wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
Confer, to recover the custody of his
three year old daughter, Jean Made-
line Young, and after hearing the test-
imony on both sides the court direct-
ed that the child be turned over to the
father, but also required the latter to
pay to the grandparents the sum of
one hundred dollars which they claim-
ed to have spent in bringing the child
to Bellefonte from Florida.
