BELLEFONTE FIREMEN
TO ATTEND CONVENTION.
Council Grants Permission on Certain
Conditions.
At the regular meeting of borough
council, on Monday evening, a peti-
tion was received from residents of
the Beaver & Hoy row asking for
better fire protection. The matter
was referred to the Water Commit-
tee.
A letter received from A. J. Cook
requested a rebate on water taxes be-
cause of the fact that his home was
closed for a period of six months.
Referred to the Water committee.
The Street committee reported that
the oiling program for this year has
been completed, a total of 30,500
square yards of streets having been
top-dressed, oiled and rolled.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $7.50 on the 1924 water
duplicate and that the meter bills for
six months ending April 1st, totaling
$4,430.85, had been turned over to the
Keystone Power corporation for col-
lection.
The Finance committee reported a
balance of $4102.56 in the hands of
the borough treasurer and asked for
the renewal of notes aggregating $46,-
800, which was authorized.
The Fire and Police committee re-
portad the burgess’ check for $200 for
fines and licenses; also reported to
council that both pumpers were in
need of new tires, and Mr. Emerick
stated that each pumper should have
new tires on each front wheel, as it
was endangering the lives of firemen
to run the heavy machines with tires
that are liable to blow out at any time.
The matter was referred to the com-
mittee with power.
Mr. Flack presented the request of
members of both fire companies for
permission to take the pumpers to Ty-
rone on the occasion of the district
firemen’s convention on August 12th,
to participate in the parade. The
companies will not leave Bellefonte
until eight o’clock in the morning and
will plan to be back by one in the
afternoon. A squad of both compan-
ies will remain at home and stay at
the fire houses with the squad wagons
equipped with hose and chemicals in
the event of a fire. Mr. Reynolds was
of the opinion that both pumpers
should not be taken out of town at
the same time, but on motion of Mr.
Emerick permission was granted the
firemen to go. Mr. Cunningham then
made a motion that’ council appropri-
ate fifty dollars to each company for
expenses for the trip, and the same
was passed.
Mr. Reynolds called attention to the
practice of people living along Spring
creek and Logan’s branch of throwing
refuse into the streams and asked if
something couldnt be done to put a
stop to it. He was informed that
there is an ordinance prohibiting the
practice and carrying a fine for doing |
so, and the Sanitary committee was
instructed to abate the nuisance, ‘and
to make arrests, if necessary, in doing
So.
The pig pen nuisance down near the
P. R. R. round house was also refer-
red to the Sanitary committee, which
has the power to abate the same.
Secretary Kelley presented the
lease for the Phoenix mill property to
the G. F. Musser company, the same
having been properly executed by
them. On motion the president and
secretary were authorized to execute
the lease for the borough.
The Fire and Police committee re-
ported that the Elks lodge had signi-
fied thei: willingness to have the
resent electric fire alarm transfer-
red from the jail to the roof of the
garage on their property, and the
matter was left in the hands of the
committee to make the change.
Mr. Cunningham reported that the
borough’s pumping agreement with
the Keystone Power corporation will
expire on August 28th, and the com-
mittee was instructed to confer with
representatives of the company rela-
tive to future rates, ets.
President Walker called attention
of council to the fact that some steps
ought to be taken to set aside a cer-
tain space in the business district of
the town where cars will he aliowed to
park not over fifteen minutes at a
time. This is designed for out of
town people who come to Bellefonte
to do shopping, more especially on
Wednesday and Saturday nights, and
are unable to get within four or five
blocks of the stores. Around the
Diamond was suggested as the most
available place but the matter was
finally referred to the Fire and Police
committze.
Bills totaling $4943.48 were ap-
proved for payment, after which coun.
cil adjourned.
Kofman and Co., to Retire from Coal
Business.
In order to give his time exclusively
to his building supply business and
other projects he has in mind Nathan
Kofman, head of Kofman and Co., of
this place, has leased his coal wharves
and equipment to O. G. Morgan, form-
erly of the Bellefonte Fuel and Supply
Co.
Mr. Morgan retired from the latter
business when it was bought by the
Thompson interests and through the ,
new contract with Kofman and Co.
has acquired a yard of his own. We
have been informed that he will take
charge on August 15th when it is ex-
pected that the Kofman office building
will have been divided so that each
with the Episcopalians in their Sun-
day morning worship.
concern may have exclusive quarters.
Autobus Mail Route Planned to Help
Bellefonte.
planned the bulk of the eastern and
western mail will be in the hands of
Bellefonte business men by 9:30
o’clock in the morning, or about the
time the mail now reaches the Belle-
fonte postoffice; but a large part of
the local mail will not be delivered
until seme time in the afternoon.
This change is to be brought about
by the inauguration of an autobus
mail route from Tyrone to Bellefonte,
by way of Warriorsmark, Pennsyl-
vania Furnace and State College. The
{ morning eastern mail, which is the
| heaviest mail of the day and which
comes to Bellefonte by way of Sun-
bury and Lewisburg, will be diverted
over the middle division to Tyrone,
reaching that place about five o’clock
in the morning. The western mail
also arrives in Tyrone on or about five
o'clock. As now planned the mail bus
will leave Tyrone at 5:30 o’clock and
is scheduled to arrive in Bellefonte
at 7:30. Only first class and news-
paper mail will be carried, the parcel
post matter to come by train.
Postmaster John L. Knisely figures
that with the mail reaching here at
7:30 the carriers will be ready to start
out on their general delivery by 9
o'clock. In the meantime all local
mail picked up between Sunbury and
Bellefonte, either by the way of Wil-
liamsport and Lock Haven or along
the Lewisburg railroad, will arrive at
the time it does now, shortly after
nine o’clock; and because of the fact
that the carriers will have started out
on their delivery the local mail will
not be delivered until their. afternoon
trip.
While the local mail, of course, is
not very heavy, it is probably just as
important as the eastern or western
mail. For example. Suppose a farm-
er or business man in Penns valley
should be in urgent need of supplies
and would send a letter to Bellefonte
with the request that the supplies be
sent over on the afternoon train. The
letter coming in after the carriers had
left on their forenoon trip would not
be delivered until after the Pennsval-
sequently the order could not be fill-
ed until the next day.
It was hoped to institute the new
service on Wednesday but at the time
this article was written no contract
had been awarded, although a number
of bids have been submitted for car-
rying the mail.
The Fry Clan Celebrate the Captain’s
83rd Anniversary.
Last Saturday was a big day for
Frys at Rock Springs. The dean of
the clan, Capt. W. H. Fry, was.83
years old on Sunday, and the event
was celebrated by a family get-togeth-
er at the Fry farm. There were old
{ Frys and young Frys, big Frys and
little Frys, to the number of one hun-
dred and twenty, but none of them
enjoyed the day more nor entered into
the zest of the gathering with greater
spirit than the octogenarian father,
grand-father and great grand-father.
He also made a record at the lavishly
spread tables which were set beneath
the towering pine trees on the lawn,
and also found time to see that every-
body present had all they wanted to
eat.
The guest of honor was the cap-
tain’s son, W. H. Fry Jr., of the State
of Washington, who is home on his
first visit since he went west twenty-
two years ago, while the only absentee
was another son, Dr. Hugh L. Fry, of
Little Rock, Ark. The Stars and
Stripes occupied a prominent place in
the table decorations and among them
was the old flag of the Scott Guards
made at the old Clemson home by the
women of Spruce Creek valley, Capt.
Fry is the one and only survivor of
the old company and has the flag in
his possession as a souvenir.
Guests present outside of the family
included D. F. Kapp, of State College;
Rev. and Mrs. J. Max Kirkpatrick,
Prof. E. B. Fitts and comrade J. H.
Hayden, of Fort Wayne, Ind. Capt.
Fry was not only felicitated by a
number of brief speeches but received
many | gifts and postcard remem-
brances. He is the one predominating
character in the western end of the
county and the Watchman hopes he
may be spared to celebrate man
more anniversaries. :
When to Stop Giving.
Miss Helen E. C. Overton, who
left last week for the Children’s Sea
i Shore Home, for poor and crippled
| children at Atlantic City, went down
| to assume her usual summer duties in
the annual drive for these afflicted
' ones. Many of the good people of this
| community have been helping a bit in
this worthy work, and many more
should add their mite to make the
burden lighter for these little suffer-
ers.
“Must I be giving forever and ever?
“No” said the angel as she pierced me
thru,
“Just give until the Master stops giving
to you.”
Mr. Hughes Acknowledges Gift.
Mr. James R. Hughes, on behalf of
the Bellefonte Academy management
and its champion foot-ball team, very
gratefully acknowledges the splendid
contribution of fifty dollars, by the as-
sociated business men of Bellefonte,
toward the purchase of gold foot-balls
to be presented to the champion team.

EBERTS STORE BURGLAR
GETS FIVE TO TEN YEARS
IN PENITENTIARY.
| Robber Maintained Criminal Tenden-
cies Due to Dog Bite When a
Boy.
When Harold Newman, of Tayior
township, the man who robbed the O.
day night of last week, faced Judge
Harry Keller at a special session of
court on Saturday morning, he stated
that his mania for robbing was the
result of a dog bite on the head when
he was a boy; and he exhibited a scar
on his cranium as a memento of the
dog bite. In fact he stated that he
“always got that way about this time
of the year.” Having entered a plea
of guilty to the robbery Newman was
sentenced to serve not less than five
nor more than ten years in the west-
ern penitentiary, which is just half
the sentence that could have been im-
posed.
Following the robbery, last Tues-
day night, police officials and state
policemen were notified and a descrip-
tion of the robber furnished them for
identification. On Thursday morning
Newman was arrested at Madera,
Clearfield county, by state policemen
located there. When arrested $236.50
of the stolen money was found in his
pockets. Sheriff Taylor was prompt-
ly notified and accompanied by deputy
warden W. J. McFarland, of Rockview
penitentiary, went to Philipsburg,
where Newman was turned over to
them by the state police.
The young man admitted that he
had committed the robbery of the Eb-
erts store. He also told the officers
| that on leaving the store he walked
to Port Matilda where he jumped a
freight train and rode to Vail. There
he mounted another freight and rode
to the Summit, on the mountain. He
then walked to Sandy Ridge, going
on the bus from there to Osceola
Mills. He begged an auto ride from
the latter place to Madera and had
not been in that town very long until
he was recognized by state police and
placed under arrest.
Newman told the court, on Satur-
day, that he is twenty-nine years old,
and during his short life he has serv-
ed time at Glen Mills, in the Hunt-
ingdon reformatory and the western
penitentiary. He was pardoned from
that institution about six months ago
after serving the major portion of a
sentence of one and a half to three
years for robbing the railroad sta-
tion at Port Matilda.
A charge of assault and battery
against Newman for hitting Mr. Eb-
erts at the time of the robbery of his
store will probably be nolle prossed
in view of his pleading guilty to the
robbery.
« At the same session of court George
W. Wilson and J. D. Lord, the two
negro prisoners who escaped from
Rockview on Sunday morning, July
11th, and were recaptured last Thurs-
day morning, were each sentenced to
-serve an additional term of two and
‘a half to five years after completing
.their present sentence. .
Miss Mary Justice Injured in Auto
Accident.
Miss Mary Justice, housekeeper at
the Garman house, recently invested
in a second d Ford coupe but has
not been tke owner long enough to be
able to operate it herself. Conse-
quently on Tuesday morning she en-
listed the services of Mrs. Lulu
Thompson to drive her out to her
“home at Coleville, and just for the
! airing she took with her six month’s
i old Gilbert Bryan.
I Out at the Coleville bridge over
| Buffalo Run the driver collided with a
i heavy truck with such force that Miss
‘Justice was thrown forward and her
head crashed through the windshieid.
She clung to the child in her lap and
| strange as it may appear the boy got
‘only one tiny abrasion on the fore-
"head. Miss Justice sustained a num-
{ber of cuts on the face and head
from the broken glass of the wind-
shield but her injuries are not serious.
The force of the collision jammed the
body of the coupe to that extent that
it took the' combined efforts of two
men to get the doors open.
Captain Volgenau Giving Life Saving
Demonstrations.
Capt. E. P. Volgenau, expert swim-
mer and life-saving
Cross, has been in Bellefonte since
Wednesday. He has been giving in-
structions as to life-saving and resus-
citation each afternoon at the pool on
Hughes field.
Today he will be there for the last
time this season and those interested
in knowing how to swim and be of
service by way of preventing a
drowning accident should avail them-
selves of this opportunity.
He will start at 2 o’clock this after-
noon and all instruction is free.
Almost Minus a Thumb.
While preparing to examine the new
water wheel at John McCoy’s hydro-
electric plant below town, last Thurs-
day evening, a heavy piece of machin-
ery was accidentally released from its
bearings and caught the right thumb
of borough manager James D. Sei-
bert.
The member was almost torn from
his hand and crushed so badly that
while there are hopes of saving it
there is no certainty that amputation
may not eventually be necessary.

tion of mines, in the Snow Shoe region
and move to one of the suburbs of Phila-
delphia to make his future home. Mr.
Harm has been so long and prominently
identified with the business and social
activities of Snow Shoe and vicinity that
his withdrawal cannot be other than a
serious loss to that community. Exempli-
fying, as he does, the best type of citizen-
ship his entire career there has been con-
structive. It is his intention, we believe,
to give all of his time to his mining opera-
tions and his removal is for the purpose
of being in closer touch with the eastern
markets. With characteristic precaution,
however, he will not sell his Snow Shoe
home until he is convinced that living
elsewhere will be tolerable.

Local Mills Have Discontinued Stor-
ing Wheat.
Magner & Co., and the Mayer mills
of this place have discontinued wheat
storage. :
In the past it was the custom of the
mills to accept wheat at the conven-
ience of the farmers, store it in the
mill bins and give the owner the op-
portunity of selling whenever the
price suited, provided sale was made
on or before the July 1st following
the date of delivery to the mill.
The practice was a great accom-
modation to the farmer for it pro-
tected his wheat from loss by rats,
fire, theft and other causes. While it
was stored in the mill at his own risk
the chance of loss there was negligible
as compared with that in the granary
on the farm. On the other hand it
was to the disadvantage of the miller
in many ways and caused unpieasant
, situations for which he was in no wise
responsible.
The sum total of the situation is
that the local mills have discontinued
storage and all grain must be sold on
delivery to them.
