BOROUGH COUNCIL
HOLDS BRIEF SESSION.
Miscellaneous Business Transacted at
Monday Evening’s Meeting.
Burgess Hard P. Harris appeared
before council, on Monday evening,
and stated that John McCoy has a
force of men at work cleaning up the
big dump along north Water street.
All the rubbish, such as tin cans, etec.,
is being removed and the combustible
matter burned. In the future nothing
but clean ashes and dirt can be dump-
ed there. Mr. Harris stated that Mr.
Shallcross has consented to allow the
borough to try out the old stone lime
kiln, on the pike, as an incinerating
plant for all kinds of combustible
matter, and if it proves successful,
that will offer a good solution for the
disposition of such kind of garbage.
Tin cans will have to be disposed of
in some other way. The matter was
referred to the Fire and Police com-
mittez and borough manager.
The Street committee reported the
cutting of weeds, various repairs and
cleaning of streets.
The Water committee reported the
collection of $35.50 on the 1924 water
duplicate, $88.00 on the 1925 and
$1376.50 on the 1926, a total of $1500.
Mr. Cunningham also reported that
the gravity pump at the Phoenix
pumping station is out of commis-
sion owing to stripped gears, and it
will probably be five or six days
before repairs can be completed.
Mr. Cunningham also stated that with
the pump shut down an examination
had been made of the tail race and it
was found clogged with about twenty
tons of crushed limestone that had
been washed in there off of Stony
Batter. A force of men were put to
work cleaning out the race, and while
they are at it some of the mud will
be removed from the dam.
Mr. Cunningham further reported
that the committee had not yet re-
ceived the specific bids on the new
water pipe desired, but that one of
the bidders had withdrawn his old bid
and submitted a new one. Under the
circumstances council advised laying
aside of the old bids and asking for
new ones. The committee was in-
structed to prepare a letter of speci-
fications of just what is desired and
all bids to be considered must conform
with the specifications,
The Finance committee requested
the renewal of old notes totaling $10,-
700 and a new note for $1000, which
were authorized.
Ed Klinger made his appearance at
this juncture in the proceedings as
the bearer of a petition of complaint
from residents of east Howard street
regarding the condition of the alley
from east Howard to east Lamb
street, owing to its use as a cowpath
for W. J. Musser’s dairy herd. The
matter was referred to the Street
committee.
Mr. Emerick presented blue prints
for the conversion of the old Shoe-
maker barn, on east Curtin street,
into duplex apartments by Sim Baum,
the present owner, who is anxious to
secure a building permit in order that
he can begin work on same. The mat-
ter was referred to the Village Im-
provement committee.
Borough manager Seibert reported
that Joe Novosol had started the con-
struction of a house on Halfmoon hill
which is right on the borough line,
half the house being in the borough
and half in Spring township, stating
that Mr. Novosol wanted to know
what he would have to do. President
Walker stated that he would have to
get a permit for that portion of his
house which will be in the borough
limits.
Mr. Badger reported that Lewis
Hill desires a grade for curb and gut-
ter at his property on Bishop and
Wilson streets. Mr. Seibert stated
that he had been given grades once or
twice already but has never done any-
thing.
Mr. Brouse reported that the Street
committee was opposed to the grant-
ing of a permit to the Krader Motor
company to put down a gasoline tank
and erect a pump at the curb of their
property on the corner of Allegheny
and Howard streets.
Bills for $2602 were approved for

! VALENTINE.—Emily J. Valentine,
a brief notice of whose death appear-
ed in last week’s Watchman, passed
Mass., where she had been for several
weeks among relatives and friends, as
the result of heart failure.
She was a daughter of the late
Bellefonte, and was born at the old
Valentine home, at the Forge, in
June, 1871. When ten years of age
the family moved to Bellefonte, into
S. Walker family, which was built by
Mr. Valentine. Twelve years later
the family moved to Ruxton, Md.,
where she lived until after her
father’s death in 1910 when they
moved to Roland Park, Md., and
later to Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia,
which had been her home ever since.
She was educated in Bellefoute and
at Miss Quinn’s school, in Philadel-
phia. She traveled extensively in
Europe with members of her family
and thus acquired a taste for the fine
arts, the result being that in late
years she had spent much of her time
working at that profession. She was
a member of the Art Alliance club, of
Philadelphia, where she frequently
exhibited her pictures. She also
spent several seasons at the outdoor
classes of Daniel Garbor, at Chester
Springs, Pa.
From the beginning of the World
war she worked continuously. Her
sympathies were with Great Britain
and France. When this country entered
into the conflict she went whole-heart-
edly into the cause of her country,
spending weeks in the Walter Reed
hospital, near Baltimore, ministering
to blinded soldiers. Her sympathies
were so excited by their sufferings as
to bring on a nervous breakdown,
from which she never really re-
covered. Belonging to no religious
denomination she inclined to the faith
of her fathers, the Society of Friends.
By nature she was deeply religious,
with a high sense of honor and duty,
and strictly conscientious. With a
consuming energy she could not be
idle, but nevertheless, was an ardent
lover of nature and outdoor recrea-
tions. Of an attractive and pleasing
personality, she was generous and
kindly, and a keen sense of humor and
a ready wit made her a charming
companion. In the already thinning
circle of her relatives and friends she
will be sincerely regretted and sadly
missed.
She is srvived by three sisters,
Jane H., Mary D. and Sarah D., now
spending the summer in France. Her
remains were brought to Bellefonte
on Saturday and taken to the home of
her cousins, the Misses Anna J. and
Caroline M. Valentine. Funeral ser-
vices were held at 2.30 o'clock on
Sunday afternoon by Rev. Philip
Dales, rector of St. John’s Episcopal
church for the month of August, in-
terment being made in the family plot
in the Friends burial ~round.

widow of William C. Bell, for many
on Tuesday of last week at the home
of her daughter, Miss Ida Bell, at
State College, as the result of a heart
attack. She was stricken shortly
after eating her dinner and passed
away two hours later.
A daughter of William and Eliza-
beth Cole she was born in Huntingdon
county on April 22nd, 1842, hence had
reached the age of 85 years, 3 months
and 17 days. She married Mr. Bell
in 1861 and most of their married life
was spent at Pleasant Gap. She was
a member of the Methodist church
for many years and a regular attend-
ant. Her surviving children are Mrs.
Robert U. Wasson, of Howard; B. P.
Bell, of Pleasant Gap, and Miss Ida,
of State College. She also leaves one
sister, Mrs. Samuel Vance, of Belle-
ville.
Funeral services were held in the
Lutheran church, at Pleasant Gap, on
Thursday afternoon of last week, by
Rev. M. C. Piper, assisted by Rev.
Mackie, of State College, and Rev.
Metzger, of Pleasant Gap, burial be-
ing made in the Pleasant Gap ceme-
tery.

Picnic to Revive Memories of Scotia,
the Deserted Village.
Following a custom of several years
men formerly employed at Scotia,
Centre county, will gather again for
a day to renew friendships of many
years standing, formed in the early
days of that community. Saturday,
August 27, has been selected for the
date of the gathering this year.
Only one of the five men, sent by
Andrew Carnegie to prospect for ore
in this section before he purchased
the tract in 1880 for $100,000 is now
living. He is Mr. W. H. Farber, of
State College.
“Little did Mr. Carnegie think when
he bought this land, which he called
Scotia,” said Mr. Farber, “that
through all these years the people
would return each summer to relive
the good old days and talk about the
happy times spent there together.
For more than twenty years the Car-
negie Steel Company sent from this
mine annually thousands of tons of
ore containing 39 to 50 per cent iron.
With this industry as a basis Mr.
Carnegie built up a community centre,
introducing many features that were
new to the iron and ore business at
that time.”
Mr. Carnegie was the first man in
the industry to pay his men at regu-
lar times in cash. It had long been
the practice for each company to op-
erate a general store at which all
employees were expected to purchase
the usual supplies. Mr. Carnegie not
only paid in cash, but arranged to act |
as banker for his men, taking care!
of any savings that they might have, |
paying them six per cent interest on |
their money. He also employed a |
teacher for the school and furnished |
instruments for a 20-piece band which
at one time was considered much the
best musical organization in the coun-
ty.
He also built and furnished a social
hall of about four rooms,” Mr. Farber
recalled. “In it you would find the
daily newspapers and best magazines
of the day. The hall became the cen-
ter of Scotia’s social and commun-
ity life, and people lived happily to- |
gether as one big family. So content
were the people in their own little |
community that it is said that at one
time to get a job at Scotia one had to |
wait until one of the employees died.
It is to renew these old friendships
that we gather every year at Scotia |
for a big picnic.”
In later years the mine was operat-
ed by the Bellefonte Furnace Co.
The committee in charge of ar-
rangements for the picnic this year
consists of J. E. Pennington and J.
of State College; Alda,
Stuart and Charles Jackson, of Al-
toona, Harry Williams, of Bellefonte,
and W. H. Ghaner, of Port Matilda.
Centre County Hospital News Notes.
Miss Eckert, superintendent of the

Bellefonte Young Man Arrested as
Till Tapper.
James Torsell, a seventeen year old
Bellefonte youth, is under $1600 bail
for his appearance at court on the
charge of robbery. He was caught
in the act of tapping the till in W. H.
Brouse’s grocery store, last Saturday,
by chief of police Harry Dukeman,
the past year.
Mr. Brouse had known for some
rconths that somebody was robbing
him but he was urable to detect any-
one in the act. Last Wednesday his
cash was eighty dollars short and he
finally appealed to chief of police
ed out when there was a rush. So it
was decided to watch him.
There is a balcony in the rear of
the store and at noon, on Saturday,
the officer went up on the balcony
rand hid behind some boxes, with a
i peep hole sufficient to see down into
the store. Mr. Brouse went to dinner
!and shortly afterwards young Torsell
made his appearance. According to
arrangement Knapik made an excuse
to leave the store for a few minutes
and as soon as he was out of sight
Torsell tried the safe. Finding it
locked he went to the money drawer
at the desk, opened it and took out
some bills which he quickly stuck in
Several girls then came
them and while he was doing so Duke-
man slipped down off of the balcony
just as Knapik returned to the store.
Dukeman then confronted Torsell
and told him to hand over the money !
he had taken from the drawer, and
after some hesitation he did so, eight
$10 bills. He then confessed he had
been systematically robbing the store
for almost a year and all told had
taken about $800. He was placed
