BOROUGH COUNCIL
WANTS NEW FIRE ALARM.
Bedford County Man Wants to be
Bellefonte Policeman.
Only six members were present at
the regular meeting of borough coun-
cil, on Monday evening. Edward J.
Decker, of east Curtin street, was
present and made complaint about
the lack of a sufficient water supply
at his home. He stated that he had
kept count of the number of times
during the past year when they had
no water in the house and the total
was just thirty-four. There is a two
inch feed line on the street past the
Decker house but two other residents
in that locality have installed electric
pumps in order to get a sufficient sup-
ply of water from the pipe, and when
these pumps are in operation it re-
duces the pressure so much that oth-
er users get no water. The matter
was referred to the Water committee
for some immediate action to remedy
the trouble.
Secretary Kelly read three bids
submitted for furnishing coal to the
two fire company buildings, namely:
0. J. Harm & Son, mixed cannel coal
for $5.50 per net ton; Thomas Coal
vard, $4.50 for red ash, and O. G.
Morgan, $4.50 for Cherry run. As
two of the bids were not submitted
until after the other bid had been
made public the Fire and Police com-
mittee recommended that new bids be
asked, with analysis of coal, ete. It
was so ordered.
Mrs. W. Galer Morrison made com-
plaint about Mr. Dunlkebarger emp-
tying the salt water from ice cream
packers in the gutters on Bishop
street, maintaining that it will ruin
the concrete. The matter was refer-
red to the Street committee.
A communication was received
from the county commissioners stat-
ing that they wished to build a coal
storage shed capable of storing a car
load of coal on the south side of the
court house, opposite the boiler room,
and requesting permission to extend
it out over the payment. The matter
was referred to the Street committee
for investigation and report.
A petition signed by three women
was read by the secretary, in whica
the signers protested against the prop-
osition of Mr. Hughes, of the Acad-
emy, to erect a stone archway, with
signs, at Bishop street entrance to the
Academy grounds, they mantained
that such signs should be erected on
the Academy grounds. Referred to
the Street committee.
A communication was received
from John F. Cogan, of Bedford coun-
ty, stating that he understood council
is contemplating making a change in |
the police force, and making applica- '
tion for a job. The communication
was laid on the table. :
A communication was received
from James R Hughes relative to his
request for permission to erect four
signs in Bellefonte pointing the way |
to the Bellefonte Academy, in which
he agreed to remove the signs at any |
time if they caused any complicated '
situation. The matter was referred
to the Street committee with power. .
The Street committee had no re- |
port to submit and the Water com-
mittee reported repairing several
leaks and also the collection of $12.00
on the 1926 water duplicate and
$1138.00 on the 1927.
The Finance committee reported
that the borough tax duplicate has
been completed. On a valuation of
$2,094,497 the borough tax is $20,-
944.97; street $20,944.97, and in-
terest $10,472.48, or a total of $52,
362.42. The committee also re- .
quested authorization for a note for
$10,000, which was the first install-
ment borrowed from the Bellefonte
Trust Co., for Mrs. Gamble, and $1068
mill property. A down payment of
$8170 was made to the Lycoming
Trust Co., for Mrs. Gamble and $1068 '
paid to John Curtin, trustee, for fees, i
etc. The note was duly authorized.
Mr. Cobb, of the Special commit-
tee, reported that he had received
' specifications and price quotatious
from the American LaFrance com-
pany on their Sterling electric fire
alarm. The price was given as $1,-
300 less five per cent. for prompt
payment, which did not include cost
of installation. A representative of
the company was present and explain-
‘ed the system throughout, offering to
(make a temporary installment for a
| thirty day’s test. President Walker
| Suggested that he furnish council with
.a list of towns where the alarm is
now in use so that members of coun-
‘cil can visit same and find out for
‘themselves just what the alarm is
like. This he agreed to do.
| President Walker called the at-
j tention of council to the fact that
‘there undoubtedly is an enormous
waste of water in Bellefonte and the
only way to overcome it is to instail
meters. He stated that meters are
most towns the size of Belle-
fonte. The cost price of the meters,
‘installed, would be $11.25, and it
would cost about $12,000 to meter the
town. Meters should be read every
three months and bills submitted
promptly. He also advocated a serv-
ice charge of $1.50 per quarter
(which would be $6.00 a year in ad-
dition to the water charge.) Mr.
Walker stated that he wanted every
member of council to give the matter
serious consideration, as something
will have to be done to stop what he
"declared to be an enormous waste of
water.
Bills totaling $1319.60 were approv-
ed for payment after which council
adjeurned.
Stone Crushing Plant, at Rockview,
Partially Destroyed by Fire.
The big stone crushing plant at
Rockview penitentiary was partially
destroyed by fire, on Monday, caus-
ing damage estimated at from $12,-
000 to $15,000, all of which is cover-
ed by insurance.
The origin of the fire is a mystery
to prison officials and may never be
definitely fixed. The plant had not
been in operation recently but was be-
ing put in shape for crushing stone
to build improved roadways through
the prison farms. The work of clean-
ing was in charge of a guard fore-
man and two inmates. The plant is
operated entirely by electric motors,
and the men were cleaning out the
switch boxes. The guard overseeing
the work stepped outside the build-
ing to get a drink of water leaving
one of the prisoners at work at the
switch box. As the machinery was
not in operation no current was in
the building at the time,
The prisoner at the switch box
stated that he was at work cleaning
when all at once there was a burst
of flame and the entire interior of
the building seemed ablaze. The man
had to rush outside to save himself.
The plant is located near the
merit house and evefy-infnate work-
ing nearby was quick to respond to
the call for help. Buckets were used
to stay the progress of the flames un-
til fire hose could be brought into
play and water from the penitenti-
ary’s own system in McBride’s Gap
was poured onto the burning building.
All the prisoners worked valiantly
and succeeded in saving one end of
the big plant, although it was two
o’clock in the afternoon before the
last ember was extinguished. The
fire started about 10:30 o’clock in the
morning. This is the second time the
plant has been destroyed by fire, the
first being in 1918.
While the plant will be rebuilt as
soon as possible its destruction at this
time will again delay the construc-
tion of good roadways through the
penitentiary grounds.

Are You Hunting Seed Wheat?
Farmers who are compelled to buy
seed wheat for the fall planting
should be very careful about where
they get it.
After the failure of this season
they will be out of luck if in the en-
deavor to save a few cents on the
price of their seed they should get an
inferior quality and have another bad
crop next year.
We note that Wagner and Co., of
this place, always reliable and ex-
perienced enough to know what good
grain is, have gotten in several car
loads of Union county wheat which
they are offering at $1.75 a bushel.
You can depend on it’s being good if
Curt Wagner says it is and farmers
in need of seed would make no mis-
take in buying it on his recommenda-
tion.

$2,500 VERDICT AGAINST
BOROUGH SET ASIDE.
Judge Fleming Rules Jury Erred in
Verdict in Favor of Miss
‘Wright.
In an opinion and decree, handed
down last Thursday afternoon, Judge
Fleming set aside the verdict of $2,-
500 damages given by a jury at the
i February term of court to Miss Laura
.E. Wright, in her action against the
borough to recover for alleged injur-
ies sustained in a fall on an icy pave-
ment, in front of the Mrs. Charles
Smith property, on east Bishop street,
on the morning of January 14th,
1926. When Judge Fleming submit-
ted the case to the jury, when it was
tried in February, he did so with
special points of law reserved. In
his opinion handed down, last Thurs-
‘day, the court averred that the evi-
dence showed that the plaintiff had
‘not exercised due caution at the time
{of her fall and injury. In her own
‘testimony she admitted that the ice
had been on the povement for a week
and that she knew it was there, but
had made no effort to either walk
around it or go to the other side of
i the street. In this she displayed con-
tributory negligence, and the courts
have held that where this is shown
the plaintiff is not entitled to recover.
, The opinion and decree was rendered
following a motion and argument for
a new trial and also to set aside the
i verdict because it was deemed exces-
sive. In his decree the court dis-
| missed the motion for a new trial and
set aside the verdict, non obstante
veredicto. Exceptions for the plain-
tiff were noted, which carries the
right to appeal the case.
In the case of James E. Staretts,
vs. Henry Spector and David Schwab,
trading and doing business as che
Williamsport Auto Parts company,
the court granted a motion for a new
trial. This case was also tried at the
February term of court, and was an
action to recover for damages for in-
juries sustained on June 13th, 1926,
when the plaintiff was hit by an au-
tomobile owned by the defendants and
operated at the time by Peter Shei-
:man. The accident occurred on the
State road in Bald Eagle valley, a
At the trial of the case the court gave
binding instructions in favor of the
. defendants. In the opinion handed
down the Judge admits that the court
erred in its instructions and because
of this fact a new trial has been
granted.
Homer Hess, the motion for a new tri-
al was dismissed and judgment di-
rected to be entered in favor of the
plaintiff. This case was also tried
-at the February term of court and
. was an action to recover for two
dogs belonging to the plaintiff having
been killed by the defendant on Feb-
.ruary 4th, 1926. At the trial of the
case the jury returned a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff for $125.
A new trial was also refused in
the case of George H. Emerick vs.
H. S. Braucht.
Two Small Boys Catch Big Trout with
Bare Hands.
Last. Thursday morning Frankie
Hull, aged nine years, and Dickie
Hartswick, aged seven, of Reynolds
avenue, went a boating and swimming
in Spring creek, near the old pump
house. They had not been in the wa-
ter long when they espied a “big
fish” lying close to the bank. The
boys decided to catch the fish.
Deploying to head and tail they
both made a grab and got a hold on
the fish but it was so large that it
squirmed out of their hands. But
they had it cooped in next the bank
and finally managed to get a strangle
hold and got the fish out. Then they
took it to the home of Dickie’s par-
ants, Mr. and Mrs. Millard Hart-
swick. Mrs. Hartswick discovered
that it was a trout and told the little
fellows that their catch was illegal. It
measured 24 inches and weighed a
little over seven pounds. Mrs. Hart-
swick put it in a tub of water hoping
to revive it so it could be returned to
the stream but the trout was past
that point.
When Mr. Hartswick returned
home, at noon, he promptly called
game protector Thomas G. Mosier
who went out and examined the trout.
He expressed the opinion that some-
thing was wrong with it, or the boys
would never have been able to catch
it with their hands. He did not chide
them for catching it out of season,
and gave it to Mr. Hartswick to have
mounted. The latter sent it to a Phil-
ipsburg taxidermist.
Philipshurg Sportsmen to Picnic Next

Dr. J J Kilpatrick, and George Denithorn
comprise a fishing party that will leave
Sunday morning, for a trip of ten days in-
to Canada. Dr. Kilpatrick who has been
out of his office for several weeks because
of nerves that claimed respite from the
unceasing strain they have been under for
years, has entirely recovered and is going
to put the finishing touch on a rest cure
that he says has made him feel better
than he has felt since he was a boy.
—Among the guests at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. H. Smith, of north Spring
street, during the week have been Mr. and
‘Mrs. Otto H. Smith, of Philadelphia, who
‘arrived here Sunday and remained over
the night only. They were on their way to
‘ Niagara Falls for a visit of ten days with
Mr. and Mrs. Kelsey I. Harvey. At its

—Miss Anna ‘Mann has been here from
| Lewistown for the greater part of the
| month of August, living at the Mrs
i Charles Noll home on Howard street, while
visiting with her many girlhood friends in
and about town. Among those who have
entertained for Miss Mann are Mrs. George
j Lawrence and Miss Graham, who gave a

ber. :
——Charles B. D. Collyer, the old zir
mail pilot who, with Capt. John Mears,
recently completed a trip around the
world in record time, was a guest at the
Brockerhoff house over Sunday night.
i Collyer is now connected with the Fair-
| child Aero Corporation and had a business
i engagement in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. As
he had nothing special to do in the mean-
time he flew to Bellefonte in a big mono-

made while piloting airmail planes over
the eastern leg of the trans-continental
route.
—Mr. and Mrs.
George M. Armor, of
| Hartford, Conn., are in Bellefonte, for a
| visit with the former’s aunt, Mrs. Amanda
Miller, of east Linn street, which will last
until the fore part of next week. When
George told us how long ago he left Belle-
| fonte it seemed incredible, because he
! looks so little changed that it might have
| been only yesterday that he said good-
: bye to the old home on Linn street and
‘struck out into the world on his own.
Happily, and as might have been expected,
he made his way successfully so that he
is another of the Bellefonte boys who have
been credits to the town of their birth.
—Mrs. D. L. Goldie, with her mother,
: Mrs. Mina Lowther, of New York City,
arrived in Bellefonte last Thursday even-
ing and were at the Brockerhoff hotel for
1 few days preparatory to journeying on
to Hagleville for their usual stay of four -
weeks at the attractive “Brookside farm”
of Chauncey DeLong. Mrs. Lowther was
Miss Mina Eckley when a girl in Belle-
fonte. She married a Philadelphian who
was located here temporarily in business.
: That city was her home up to the time of
joining her daughter in New York and
they saw little of their friends here until
a few years ago, when the longing for the
old scenes brought them back to Centre
county for a summer visit. They liked it
so much that they come back every year
now.
