CENTRAL PENNA. GAS CO
EXTENDING IT’S SERVICE.
Work on Line to Centre Hall Begun
This Week.
The Central Pennsylvania Gas
company began work, this week, on
the laying of a pipe line to Centre
Hall for the purpose of furnishing
gas to residents of that town. The
company has just completed laying
a line from its big main leading to
State College up to the Rockivew
penitentiary, which will furnish the
supply of gas to be used in
the big kitchen. The company has
also extended a line to the plant of
the American Lime and Stone com-
pany where gas will be used to keep
the big rotary kiln from chilling
when it is not actually in use burn-
ing lime. Two large customers are
also expected at State College with-
in the year, as gas ranges are to be
installed in the new hotel to be erect-
ed at the College and gas for cook-
ing will also be used in the large
cafeteria to be located in the new
Main building now being erected.
A public utility, only a little over
sixteen months old, the Central
Pennsylvania Gas company has
broken a number of records in the
gas business, according to the
American Gas association. The
company broke a record when it
began the manufacture of gas in
less than six months from the
breaking of ground for its plant.
It broke a record in building a more
up-to-date plant than any in the
country. Today its gas consumption
exceeds that of any other plant in
the United States for the length of
time it has been in service and for
the size of the community it serves
regardless of time. In fact the com-
pany is now making and selling
more gas in Bellefonte and State
College than is used in Lock Haven
and Jersey Shore combined, a terri-
tory double the size.
To be more explicit, the average
daily consumption in Bellefonte to-
day is 50,000 cubic feet, while the
consumption in State College ex-
ceeds that of Bellefonte.
In the matter of cost to consum-
ers the company has also establish-
ed a record in economy. While
the price starts at $1.75 per thous-
and cubic feet it is graduated down
to $1.00, according to the amount
used and the company’s books show
that the average price received for
all gas consumed is $1.47 per thous-
and cubic feet. The average price
for domestic meters alone is $1.52
per thousand cubic feet.
It is hardly necessary to state
that the stockholders and the man-
agement of the company are satis-
fied with the showing so far made
and with the new business already
in sight the company will undoubt-
edly become a very successful pub-
lic utility.
WEST PENN LINEMAN
BADLY HURT IN
FALL.
George C. Horton, 36 years old,
of Ridgway, a member of the divi-
sion floating crew of the West
Penn Power company, which has
been in Bellefonte for several weeks
engaged in repair work, was badly
injured, on Monday afternoon, when
a pole on which he was working,
on east Bishop street, broke off at
the ground and he fell from a
height of twenty-five feet onto a
concrete pavement. Horton suffered
head injuries and a badly broken
right ankle, and at this writing,
thirty-six hours after the accident,
he has not regained consciousness.
Horton is a first-class linesman
and with Rennie Shilk, second-class
linesman, was engaged in revamping
the company’s service lines on east
Bishop street. He had gone to the
top of a twenty-five foot pole just
above the Henry Kline property.
The pole was set in concrete and to
all appearances perfectly sound. As
Horton cut the last wire loose the
pole broke off at the ground and
fell down hill with him on the un-
der side. His safety belt was
around the pole above the mast arm
of the street light, so that he could
not slide down, and the fall was so
sudden and quick he was unable to
loosen his belt and save himself by
jumping.
Horton, who has been. in the em-
ploy of the company some six or
seven years, has a wife and eighteen
months old son. They were brought
to Bellefonte, on Monday evening,
by superintendent H, E. Gregory, of
Ridgway, who came over as soon
as he learned of the accident.
FLAGS PASSENGER TRAIN
TO MAIL A LETTER.
Harry Paige, engineer on the on-
ly passenger train making a daily
trip over the Lewisburg branch of
the Pennsylvania railroad, had a new
one pulled on him, one day last
week, by a little girl. Running along
near Lindale, in the Paddy moun-
tain section, the engineer
flag signal set against him and a
little girl standing alongside the
tracks.
He brought his train to a stop
and smilingly asked the girl if she
wanted to get on the train.
“Oh, no sir,” she replied, “but will
me
in your train postoffice.”
And what could the poor engineer
do but mail it.

COLD WEATHER SPOILS
FIRST DAY FOR TROUT.
The artificial fly and the wrig-
gling worm did not constitute the
only menace the trout in Spring
creek and Logan's branch had to
contend with on Tuesday morning;
they had to scurry under cover to
keep from being tramped to death
by the hordes of fishermen who not
only lined the banks but waded the
waters of both streams; and then
they wondered why they couldnt
catch more fish. The poor fish were
so badly scared they couldn’t jump
to the tempting bait.
And the weather man did his
part in conserving the trout supply.
The weather, which had been so
warm for several days took a sud-
den change between three and four
o'clock on Tuesday morning with
the result that the mercury dropped
to well-nigh the frost line. Result,
trout were not feeding, and the total
catch for the day in Bellefonte and
vicinity was not overly large.
The best catch heard of was
made by a Harrisburg man who
started fishing shortly after mid-
night, on Logan's branch, below the
fish hatchery. He got nineteen, all
told, five of them from one pool,
and most of his catch was made
before the drop in temperature.
Other catches on Spring creek
and Logan's branch were John J.
Bower, 12, Clair Keeler, 8, Robert
Valentine 6, Edward Brown 8,
George Brown 7, Charles Brachbill 4,
Irvin Martin 4, which averaged a
foot in length; Harry Dukeman 5.
while other catches were limited to
two and three,
“Bill” Zimmerman and son Harry
went out onto a mountain stream
and though they had to literally
fight their way through under-
brush they each caught the limit of
25 and were home by one o’clock.
Their catch ran in size from 6 to
12 inches, though most of the trout
were from 6 to 8 inches long.
FISHING LICENSES
REMAIN AT $1.60 PER.
The opening of the trout fishing
season has come and gone and only
about half the number of fishing
licenses usually taken out by the
opening day in Centre county have
been issued this year, and county
treasurer Lyman L. Smith cannot
understand why this is the case
unless an- erroneons impression has
gone abroad that the license costs
more this year than last, In fact
some men who have taken out a
license were under the impression
that the fee had been increased to
$2.00, Such is not the case, how-
ever, as the price is still $1.60.
Last year over three thousand
licenses were taken out by April
15th, while this year the number
was only sixteen hundred. With this
great reduction in number county
treasurer Smith has quite a supply
on hand. He can’t hold a ‘“reduc-
tion sale” to get rid of them but
he does want fishermen to know
that there has been no increase in
price from last year.

B. D. BRISBIN, CENTRE HALL,
BADLY INJURED IN FALL.
B. D. Brisbin, of Centre Hall, one
of the few remaining Civil war
veterans in Centre county, was
badly injured when he fell down a
flight of stairs in his home early
Sunday morning. While he suffered
no broken bones he sustained a
bad scalp wound, a number of
bruises and contusions and a severe
nervous shock. On April 5th he
celebrated his 88th birthday anniver-
sary and such an accident at his
age might prove mwure serious than
it would to a younger man.
Mr. Brisbin had in contemplation
a public sale of ali his personal
effects tomorrow, intending to go to
Hartford, Conn., to spend * his de-
clining years with his two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Boone and Mrs. Robinson.
The two ladies came to Centre
Hall by automobile, on Sunday, and
it was doubtless the nervous antici-
pation of their coming, coupled with
the breaking up of his old home
that led to the accident.
Mr. Brisbin got out of bed shortly
before four o'clock on Sunday
morning and with a flashlight look-
ed at his watch to see the time, He
then went into the upstairs hall
and in some way made a misstep
and fell down the stairs. Mrs. John
T. Lee, his housekeeper, heard him
fall and assisted him back to bed
and summoned a doctor. Mrs Boone
and Mrs. Robinson did not reach
Centre Hall until Sunday afternoon
and while their father has been
confined to bed they have gone
ahead with the preparation for the
sale tomorrow and will take their
father to Hartford just as soon as
he is able to stand the trip.

OAK HALL MAN KILLED
BY ACCIDENTAL SHOT.
William C. Raymond, proprietor
of a grain, feed and coal plant, at
Oak Hall, was found dead in a
chair in his office, about 10:30 o’clock
on Monday morning, as the result
of being shot through the heart.
His .32 caliber special rifle lay on
the floor at his feet and the ex-
ploded shell told the manner of his
death.
At first it was thought he might
have committed suicide but the
fact that all the cleaning tools for
his gun were right beside his chair
led to the belief that he had met
his death by the accidental dis-
charge of the gun. The theory is
that he had gotten everything
ready to clean the gun, and be-
lieving it unloaded had accidentally
touched the trigger with fatal re-
sults. Coroner W. R. Heaton held
an inquest but the jury were un-
able to assign any cause for the
shooting, merely stating that Mr.
Raymond had come to his death as
the result of a gun shot wound
through the heart, The bullet en-
tered the left breast and came out
just beneath the right shoulder
blade.
Raymond was about sixty-five
years old and had been in business
at Oak Hall fifteen years. Prior to
that he had been engaged in iarm-
ing in Harris township. The fact
that his business was in a fairly
prosperous condition, that he en-
joyed good health and was always
genial and good-humored precludes
the suicide theory.
When a young man he married
Miss Madie C. Wilson, who died
about ten years ago, but surviving
him are a son and daughter, Roy C.
Raymond, of Pittsburgh, and Mrs.
George KE. Homan, of Boalsburg,
with whom he made his home. He
also leaves two brothers and one
sister, David C. Raymond, of Sun-
bury; James, of Centre Hall, and
Mrs. Bella Duey, of Tyrone.
Funeral services were held at the
Homan home, in Boalsburg, at two
o'clock yesterday afternoon, by
Rev. W. J. Wagner, burial being
made in the Boalsburg cemetery.
MILES TOWNSHP MAN
A SUICIDE VICTIM.
Clayton Winters, who lived on a
farm about a mile west of Rebers-
burg, committed suicide, on Wed-
nesday morning, by hanging him-
self from a rafter in the barn loft.
His dead body was found by his
wife when she went to the barn to
call him for dinner Squire Harry
Ziegler, of Reberburg, held an in-
quest but failed to uncover any mo-
tive for the man’s suicide.
Winters was a son of Perry and
Elizabeth Winters and was born at
Smullton 46 years ago. He had
worked as a teamster a number of
years and only started farming this
spring. He married Miss Maude Win-
kleblech who survives with four
children. He also leaves two
brothers and a sister. Burial will
be made at Rebersburg tomorrow
afternoon.
FORMER BELLEFONER
KILLED IN OIL FIELD.
Harry W. Schreffler, a former
resident of Bellefonte, was instantly
killed, on Monday, by an explosion
in the oil fields in California, where
he had been employed for ten years.
Details of the accident have not yet
reached Bellefonte.
He was a son of Frederick and
Effie Schreffler and was born at
Peru 48 years ago, Most of his
life, however, was spent in Belle-
fonte. He was an officer in Troop L
and served throughout the World
war, going to Long Beach, Cal,
about ten years ago. He leaves a
wife and two children, and the fol-
lowing biothers and sisters: Rus-
sell Schreffier, of Lemont; William,
of Axe Mann; Carl, of Mill Hall;
Mayrus, of Bellefonte, and Mrs.
Jesse Sowers, of Milesburg. Burial
