flying around over here on Wednes.
day. It was a radio and telephone
‘testing ship, testing out the new

W. Pennington, of Rockview, drove
10 Bellefonte and parked his Stude-
baker car on Allegheny street, in
front of Montgomery & Co’s store.
‘When he was ready to leave and at-
tempted to back out, he made the
mistake of throwing the car in gear
‘for speed ahead instead of reverse

put either one out of commission.

‘day he and his brother-in-law went
out on Lake Chautauqua to do a
little fishing. The brother-in-law
did the heavy work, such as rowing
the boat, etc, while Charles did the
fishing. How well he played his
part is proven by the fact that he
‘brought home a muscalonge which
measured exactly - three feet and
“weighed 112% pounds. The bait
used was a live minnow and when
the fish took it Charles thought he
‘had a whale.

! meeting which were approved. The
“annual report of the Woman's Aux-
| iliary was read by Mrs. Ebon Bower,
in the absence of the president,
‘Mrs. Richard Brouse. The report
was approved and accepted with a
vote of thanks to the ladies for the
splendid work done.
Few people, outside of the women
themselves, realize what an asset

[show what good work they did

chasing and making of all operating

of having all linens mended. We helped
with the Membership drive, and also

At the nurses’ commencement we took
charge and furnished invitations, pins

We acknowledge receipt of $60.00 from
Mrs. Margaret Potter Bixler which has

The annual report of treasurer
George C. Bingaman was read by
the secretary. It showed net assets
of approximately $19,000.
Manager Brown read his annual
report for the fiscal year of the hos-
pital, dating from ‘June 1st, 1929,
to May 31st, 1930. During that
period the total receipts for the
support of the hospital were about
$49,300, which, however, included a
portion of the State appropriation
from the previous year, while the
expenditures were $48,018. During
that year the receipts from patients
was in excess of $31,000.
In his report Mr. Brown again
of a new nurses’ home. He stated
that the committee appointed by
the board of trustees were consider-
ing the advisability of making it a
memorial building, and he believed
it would be easier to raise the mon-
ey that way than inany other way.
Two suggestions along this line had
been made: That it be called the
Centre County hospital nurses Mem-
orial Home, or the Centre County
Memorial hospital nurses’ home.
There was some discussion as to
the advisability of using the word
“Memorial” in connection with either
a new home for the nurses or the
hospital, but no definite conclusion
was reached, and the matter was
left in the hands of the committee
which nas it in charge.
Five vacancies on the board of
trustees were filled by the election
of the following men:
District 3, Frank V. Goodhart,
Centre Hall,
District 4, Randall S. Miller, Mill-
heim.
District 5, J. Thompson Henry,
Martha.
District 6, J. Sumner Wolfe, How-
ard.
District 7, H. J. Smith, Snow Shoe.
Secretary Cobb stated to the few
‘people present that he was at a
loss to understand why so few
people attended the corporation meet-
ings. In his opinion it showed a
woeful lack of interest in the hos-
pital.
Mr. Sloop stated that to him it
looked as if the public is so well
satisfied with the present manage-
ment that it is content to leave
things go along as they are,
There being no other business the
meeting adjourned.

MARRIAGE ROMANCE OF
PENN STATE PRESIDENT.
When Evan Pugh, vigorous stu.
dent of .the 1850’s left England to
assume the presidency of the Farm-
er's High School, now the Pennsyl-
vania State College, he probably
did not think that romance was
waiting for him, too, but his path
in the building of a program of
education for the institution led him
straight to the young woman who
later became his wife.
Dr. Pugh, whose administration as
first president of the College plays
SO important a part in the 75th an-
niversary celebration to be held at
State’ College, October 23, 24, 25,
spent a number of years in Europe,
chiefly in the study of chemistry
and allied sciences.
When he returned to this country,
he spent considerable time in Belle-
fonte observing operations in the
various iron furnaces and making
comparisons with methods studied in
Europe. On one of these study
trips he met Miss Rebecca Valen-
tine, daughter of one of the early
“iron master” families of this place.
The romance blossomed quickly and
Dr. Pugh occupied the president’s
residence with his bride, following
their marriage in Feburary, 1864,
The happy beginnings of this mar-
riage were cut short two months
later, however, when Dr. Pugh died
at the early age of 36. His wife
lived at her family home in Belle-
fonte until July, 1921, just two
months after the Wagle furnace at
Curtin, the last of the old charcoal
ion furnaces which made Pennsyl-
varia the world’s center of iron
smelting, was “blown out.”
Gardner—Harris.—A wedding of
interest to many Centre countians
took place in Clearfield, at 8.30

‘place at tie home of the bride and
was performed by Rev. E. L. Es-
linger, of the Methodist church, The

| G. Harris, who served as State
i Treasurer 1902-1904. Her maiden

she is a sister of Howard Gearhart,
of Bellefonte. Mr. Gardner is a
native of Howard, Centre county,
but prior to going to Clearfield had
been a resident of Bellefonte for a
number of years. He at one time
filled the office of prothonotary of
Centre county, and was also con.
nected with the Nittany Valley Rail-
road company. After going to
Clearfield he was connected for a
time with the Nickel-Alloys com-
pany and of late has been in the in-
surance business and also has coal
and other interests.
McCreary—Foster. — Robert Du-
Bois McCreary, of New York city,
and Miss Harriet C. Foster, daugh-
ter of Hon. and Mrs, Robert M.
Foster, of State College, were mar-
ried in the Presbyterian church, at
State College, Saturday evening,
October 4th, at 8 o'clock, by Rev.
Samuel Martin, assisted by Rev. D.
W. Caruthers.
The bride, arrayed in a gown of
ivory satin and her mother’s wed-
ding veil, was attended by Miss Cora
Marie Foster, Miss Louise McDowell
and Miss Elizabeth Frear, as maids
of honor, Miss Foster wearing a
blue satin dress and Misses Me-
Dowell and Miss Frear green satin.
[They all carried bouquets of pink

sons was matron of honor. The
ushers were Frederick C. Backus
and Sherlock A. Herrick, of Buffalo;

Jr., while Hummel Fishburn was in
charge of the music. Following the
ceremony a reception was held at
the bride’s home and the same eve-
ning Mr. and Mrs. McCreary left on

South.
McGivren—Derstine. — A belated
wedding announcement made this
week was that of Joseph McGivren,
of Pittsburgh, and Miss Dorothy
Irvin Derstine, eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Dersfine, of
Ambridge, Pa. their marriage hav-
ing taken place on March 19th, ata
Catholic rectory in Pittsburgh, Rev.
Grady officiating. The bride was

Bellefonte, moving to Ambridge with
her parents about fourteen years
ago. Since her graduation from
High school she has been employed
as a stenographer in the offices of
the American Bridge company, in
Pittsburgh. The bridegroom is
manager of a chain store in Pitts-
burgh and is an estimable young
man. Now that their marriage has
been announced Mr. and Mrs, Mec-

——J. G. Olmes, state highway
patrolmen wounded during the sen-
sational man hunt for George Clark
Skidmore on September 27th, has
recovered sufficiently to be discharg-
ed from the Philipsburg hospital

in Altoona.
‘ATTORNEYS FAILED TO
! APPEAR AT HEARING.
The adjourned hearing to decide
on the fees to be allowed the at-
torneys for the State receivers in
the Centre County Banking company
'case was held before referee Lee
| Francis Lybarger, in the court house,
Bellefonte, lest Saturday morning.
It will be recalled that at the
hearing held on September 22nd the
compensation for the receivers was
fixed at $911.87, according to the
bankruptcy . fee bill, a cut from
$7,500 asked by the receivers. At
that time former Judge Arthur C.
Dale stated that he was not pre-
pared to produce testimony in sup-
port of the claim of the three at-
torneys for fees amounting to $9,-
500, of which amount they have al-
ready drawn $1,800. The attorneys
are Mr .Dale, former Judge Ellis L.
Orvis and M. C., Rhone, of Wil-
liamsport.
Neither of them appeared at Sat-
urday’s hearing in support of their
claim. N. B. Spangler, represent-
ing the creditors, made a brief ar-
gument in which he contended that
Mr. Dale is entitled to fees only
from the time he was appointed
attorney for the State receivers,
which was in January, 1926, until
the time they became interveners
in the action in the bankruptcy
court in March of the same year,
while Mr. Orvis and Mr. Rhone,
who did not enter the case at all
until they became associate counsel
of Mr. Dale after March, 1926, are
not entitled to any award. Mr.
Spangler contended that neither Mr.
Orvis nor Mr. Rhone had done any-
thing towards conserving the assets
of the bank and therefore are not
entitled to any fees,
Referee Lybarger stated that he
had made two statements of the
itemized bills submitted by attor-
neys, one of the fees to which he be-
lieved them entitled under the bank-
ruptcy laws and one of the fees
asked to which he did not consider
them entitled, and these will con-
stitute his recommendations to the
ccurt. He did not state, however,
the amounts in either case. He
did say, however, that the State re-
ceivers had alreday filed notice of
appeal from his decision as to their
fees and he presumed an appeal
will be taken from his decision as
to the attorneys.
BELLEFONTE HIGH LOST
TO WINDBER HIGH
The Bellefonte High school foot-
ball team lost to Windber High, at
Windber last Saturday, by the score
of 73 to 0. While
defeated the boys were not disgrac-
ed, as they put forth every ounce
of effort possible, but the odds were
so heavily against them that they
were physically unable to stop the
onrush of the Somerset county
players.
Tomorrow Bellefonte will meet

The Bellefonte Academy team

Academy football mentor, has been
drilling his yearlings in the hope of
averting such a catastrophe this
year. Because of this fact the game

be equal to a college game and
every fan in Bellefonte should be
there to see what happens.

ALLEGED AVIATOR MIGHT
BE OHIO MURDERER.
Wednesday of last week a young
man who gave his name as Robert
Ray, arrived in Bellefonte and
claimed he was an aviator and that
his ship had been forced down in
the mourtains. He was dressed
much like an aviator and tried to
borrow money from Forrest Tanner,
manager of the Bellefonte landing
field. His story was so mixed up
Tanner refused to fall for it, so the
young man went to the Penn Belle
where he made a touch for a five
spot from the clerk. In the mean-
time chief of police Dukeman was
put on the stranger’s trail and he
placed him under arrest, placing
him in the lockup for safe keeping
until an investigation could be
made.
One or two other lodgers were in
the lockup over Wednesday night
and when Frank Meter turned them
out, Thursday morning, he also
turned out the alleged aviator, and
he promptly vamoosed. He appear.
ed in Philipsburg on Thursday where
he made the same claim he did in
Bellefonte and also tried to borrow
money, but failed and left the town.
On Friday three young men were
arrested at Waynesburg as suspects
in a murder committed at Ash-
tabula, Ohio, on September 24th, and
one of them answered the description
of the alleged aviator. At Waynes-
burg he gave hisname as Raymond
Rogers, and his home in Ohio.
Whether he is the same man, or
whether he is implicated in the
Ohio murder has not been definitely
decided.
