Death of H. D. Vax Perr.—Last
Saturday morning Mr. H. D. VanPelt
died at his residence in Centre Hall,
after a painful illness from Bright's dis-
ease, with which he was troubled for
some years, suffering from its acute form
for several weeks. He was about forty-
nine years old. He was born in Tomp-
kins county, New York, and came to
Centre county about 1870, settling at
Centre Hall where he engaged in the
manufacture of agricultural implements,
being connected with the firm of Van
Pelt, Shoop & Co., which as long as it
was in existence did a successful busi-
ness.
Later he was engaged with Governor
Beaver, General Hastings and Col:
Spangler in founding and laying out the
town of Hastings, in Cambria county,
being thus connected with the large coal
interests in that neighborhood. About
twelve years ago he was married at Cen-
tre Hall to a sister of Col. Spangler, the
only daughter of ex-Sheriff Spangler,
whom, with two children, a boy and a
girl, he leaves in comfortable circum-
stances.
He was a man of excellent business
qualifications, which were improved by
an academic course at Ithica and Groton,
N.Y, and a commercial course at
Cleveland. He had also the advantage
of a connection with a corps of ‘govern-
ment engineers on the Mississippi. In
politics he was in active sympathy with
the Democratic party. His many
acquaintances throughout the county
held him in high estimation.
His funeral took place at Centre Hall
on Wednesday afternoon, the large con-
course that attended it being composed
of relations and friends from Bellefonte,
Centre Hall and other parts of the coun-
ty. The interment took place in the
Centre Hall cemetery and the grave in
which the body was consigned to its
long rest was one of the most handsome-
ly prepared that was everseen in the
cemetery. After the burial Rev. W. E’
Fisher preached an impressive sermon
in the Lutheran church. The pall-bearers
were W. C. Heinle, esq., and Stewart
Brouse, of Bellefonte, and John H.
Odenkirk, Wm. P. Shoop, Whitmer
Wolf, Dr. Wm. Jacobs, Dr. John Alex-
ander, and H. Catherman, of Centre
Hall.
Diep AT THE CURTIN IRON WORKS,
—Mr. James B. Curtin who had been in
ill health for several years, died at the
Curtin Works on Monday morning, at
the age of about 50 years. Some three
years ago, on account of ‘ill health, he
discontinued his connection with the
firm that conducted the iron works, and
since then his health gradually declined.
He had many friends to mourn his
death,
The deceased was the son of John and
Julia A. Curtin, and nephew of ex-Gov-
ernor Andrew G. Curtin. He was born
at the Eagle Iron Works on August
20th, 1840. He entered Dickinson Sem-
inary in 1856 or ’67, and subsequently
was graduated at the Pennsylvania
State College, which institution he was
one of the first to enter as a scholar.
Upon the breaking out ot the Rebellion
he enlisted in the three months service
in Company H, 4th Reg., P. V. In
November, 1861, he joined the ‘“Ander-
son Body Guards,” which afterwards
became merged in the 160th Reg. P.V.,
or 15th cavalry, in which he was elected
First Lieutenant of Company H, but re-
signed in 1863 on account of ill health.
He was afterwards made a clerk in the
quarter-master’s department of the 8th
Army Corps, and near the end of the
war was appointed First Lieutenant of
Company I, 20th P. V. cavalry. After
the war he became connected with the
store at Curtin’s, and in 1874 was made
a partner in the firm of Curtin & Co.,
iron manufacturers. In 1876 he wus
married to Virginia Holter, daughter of
the late John Holter, whom he leaves
with several children to mourn the loss
they sustain in the death of an excellent
husband a nd father.
ScALDED To DiATH IN A CoAL MINE.
—The Philipsburg Journal of Monday
gives the following: A. fatal accident
occurred during Saturday night at
Coaldale No. 3 mine, to Jerry Madden,
the pump engineer. It appears from
the surroundings that there must have
been something wrong with the pump
and that he went into the mine some
1,200 feet to ascertain the cause of the
trouble. "While thus engaged the
steam pipe burst and scalded the poor
fellow to death. Alone in the mine,
his death must have been an awful
one, there being no one present to
render any assistance in response to
his distressing cries.
Yesterday morning on going into
the mine the miners came to the fatal
spot and found the corpse. Help be-
ing secured the body was taken out of
the mine and ultimately to his home
which he left the previous night cheer-
ful and bright, and full of anticipation
of the restful morrow.
The deccased was night pump man
and was consequently alone through the
night, He was a reliable young man,
always trustworthy, and the operators
had every confidence in his competency
for the duties devolving upon him.
He leaves a wife and two children to ;
mourn his loss.

——Geo. N. Colburn, in the early
days of Clearfield county a lumberman,
and for many years a well-known land-
lord in the town of Clearfield, died re-
cently at the Danville asylum, where
he had been for some months. Some
years ago he gave evidence of an unset -
tled mind, and at last it was found nec-
essary to confine him. He was 75 years
old at the time of his death.
— Constans Commandery, Knights
Templar, of this place, have received &
new banner, which is spoken of as being
a very handsome affair of the kind.
The old banner of the Commandery
was destroyed when the old Bush Ar-
cade was burned. The new one will
make its first appearance in public at
the coming parade of Knights Templar
at Lock Haven.
——One of our exchanges says that
farmers find plowing very hard work
this spring. Three and four horses are
required to do the work ordinarily done
by two. The reason undoubtedly is,
that the ground has not been frozen as
deeply as in other winters, and thawing
failed to disintegrate the soil to the
depth of the furrow. Instead of being
pulverized, the soil has been packed.
The summer schedule on the
Buffalo Run railroad will go into effect
on Monday next. The only change
made in the running of trains isin the
afternoon train, which will leave Belle-
fonte at 3 p. m. in place of 3.15 as
heretofore. Returning to town all trains
will run at the usual time. The station
at Scotia crossing has been discontinued
and the junction to Matterns made the
regular stopping place.
——The G. and B. states that Wil-
liam MecCalmont, the Beech Creek
young man who leaped from a train
near Loyalsock tower Friday evening,
was removed to the asylum for the in-
sane at Danville on Saturday. His
mind had become so overbalanced that
it was deemed for the best to have him
undergo a course of treatment. He
seemed to have a mania for jumping
from trains, and it was feared that he
would yet successfully accomplish his
rash designs.
——Last Friday evening Rev. GC. W,
Emenbhizer, of Coalville, pastor of the
United Brethern congregation, was
surprised by a visit from a number of
friends with donations to the value, of
about $50. Among the presents was a
handsome suit of clothes, The donations
consisted of sugar, coffee, tea, flour and
a general line of articles that are needed
in a clergymar’s or any other family.
The suit was presented to the pastor by
Rev. J. L. Rote, the local preacher at
Coleville, who accompanied the presen-
tation with appropriate remarks. Re-
freshments were served, consisting of
cakes, pies and other dainties. Inno-
cent amusements made the evening
pass pleasantly, the entertainment be-
UNFORTUNATE LovErs.—The Wil-
liamsport Gazette and Bulletin of Tues-
day tells the following sad tale of two
lovers the course of whose true love did
not run smooth: i
Last Friday afternoon Merritt Burlin-
game, of McHenry township, Lycoming
county, and Cora Callahan, of Gallagher
township, Clinton county, left the home
of the young lady in quest of a clergy-
man, Justice of the Peace, Alderman or
Mayor, to pronounce them husband
and wife, The young man 1s about
twenty-four years old, and the young
lady is in her eighteenth year.
They “footed” it to Jersey Mills,
but got there too late to board the train
They then walked to Campbelltown,
where they staid over night. The next
morning they were made aware of the
fact that a very mad father was in pur-
suit of them, and away they went afoot
again, over the mountainand into Tioga
county. By this time a warrant for
their arrest had been placed in the hands
of Constable H. H. Bonnell, of Cumm-
ings township. The constable deputized
David Ostrander to pursue the runaways
and make the arrest. Ostrander, ac-
companied by the young lady’s father,
then started by the overland route for
Morris, Tioga county, where the elopers
were overtaken yesterday morning and
without allowing the want-to-be-mar-
ried party an opportunity to strengthen
their nerves with some breakfast, hur-
ried them off to the office of Justice of
the Peace by the name of Raymond.
The constable and the father found the
‘Squire very accommodating and in
possession of an excellent knowledge of
what constitutes law, as he furnished
them with a document committing
the young man to Clinton county prison
at Lock Haven! Just where this Justice
of the Peace acquired his authority for
committing a prisonerto any other jail
than that of Tioga county, is somewhat
of a puzzler. However,the disappointed
bridegroom expectant was not aware of
the error on the part of the Tioga county
Justice of the Peace, and off he went
with the officer destined for Clinton
county’s jail. Arriving at Waterville,
the young lady and her father left the
train for their home, which is near
Haneyville. Constable Bonnell, who
had received from Deputy Ostrander,
the prisoner, Merritt Burlingame, con-
tinued on to Jersey Shore, where they
took the Beech Creek train for Lock
Haven. The sheriff of Clinton county
must have smiled when he read that
commitment.
BELLEFONTE’S NEw OPERA HouUsk.
—The editor of the Jersey Shore Herald,
who recently visited Bellefonte, gives
the following account of the Garman
opera house, which is in process of con-
struction :
This building will be 90 by 52 feet,
with four entrance ways and fire proof,
heated with steam, and lighted by elec-
tric light or gas. The seating capacity
will be 1,000 opera chairs, folding seats.
The stage will be large and convenient,
under which will be eight large dressing
rooms. Full set of handsome scenery ;
proscenium opening 21 feet high and 58
feet wide; curtain line to wall, 30 feet,
50 feet wide, clear; 38 feet rigging loft;
15 feet grooves and 18 feet to the floor.
The auditorium will be on the ground
floor, with a large gallery in the form
of a horse shoe, and the roof will be of
steel. The interior will be handsomely
frescoed and decorated, and when com-
pleted will have but few if any equals
in this part of the State. This struc-
ture will be a fair specimen of Mr. Gar-
man’s push and enterprise.
Broopy Work IN MIFFLIN CoUN-
TY.—Last Tuesday morning James
Davis, engineer on the supply train
on the narrow gauge railroad running
to Lucy Furnace, near Mt. Union,
Mifilin county, was shot by William
Say, fireman on the same train. The
latter charged Davis with criminal
intimacy with his wife. In the al-
tercation Davis drew a knife and at-
tacked Say, whereupon the latter drew
a pistol and shot the former in the
neck, the bullet entering between the
windpipe and the main artery. At
last accounts it had not been extracted,
owing to Davis's critical condition.
Say was arrested and lodged in the
Lewistown jail. :
A Broobpy SvurcipE.—George F.
' Williams, a Williamsport pretzel bak-
er, about 44 years of age, committed sui-
cide in an outhouse on his premises
in that city on Tuesday between 10
and 11 o’clock, by cutting his throat
with a pocket knife. Williams was a
hard drinker and was on the verge of de-
lirilum tremens, if he did not already
have an attack of it. He lived apart
from his wife and children, nis habits
having caused the separation. It is
stated that the place where he committed
the act looked like a slaughter house.
Williams had been in business in Wil-
liamsport for about twenty years.
HasTiNGS CARRIES CLINTON COUN-
1Y.—The Republican delegate elections
in Clinton county were held last Satur-
day, and,as was expected, General Hast-
ings carried the county and got the
ing interspersed with vocal and instru-
mental music. The company dispersed |
about 10.30, fully satisfied that it is |
| more blessed to give than to receive.
delegates to the State Convention.
There was scarcely any opposition,
which was just as it should have been,
for Clinton is his native county.
SuicipE IN BrusH VALLEY.—Last
Friday morning Jacob R. Sholl, of
Brush Valley, committed suicide by
blowing his brains out with a rifle. His
mind had been effected for some time,
and he had recently been brought from
the Danville asylum.
THE RicET WAY To OBTAIN AN IN-
CREASE.—Not long since the working-
men employed by the Pennsylvania,
State College in grading the campus
decided to ask for a raise of fifteen cent$
per day in wages. Instead of quitting
work and demanding thedesired advance
at the expense of industry, as is usually
done, these men simply drew up a peti-
tion in which they stated their wishes
and presented it to the managers of the
institution. The result was that an ad-
vance of ten cents was cheerfully given
and the men accepted it unanimously.
This was one of the nicest moves of its
kind we have heard of for some time, it
having been made in a way that neither,
wasted time nor embittered the feeling
of e mployer towards employed.
If other bodies of men under similar
circumstances would conduct them-
selves in the same way and notgo on
strikes upon every little pretext, we feel
certain that the relations between capi.
tal and labor would be benefited and the
condition of both improved.
The efforts of Mr. W. C, Patterson in
behalf of his men under foreman John
Carrigan were greatly appreciated. Al-
ways interested in the welfare of his
force, and ever ready to champion its
cause when the occasion appears justifia-
ble, Mr. Patterson yet preserves his
proper relation to the college. In this
way he works at the same time for the
interest of both the institution and its
employers. Never since he has taken
control of this line of work atthe col-
lege has he employed contract or foreign
labor, and by his keen foresight and
good management he has saved the col-
lege many thousand of dollars. He is
held in the highest esteem by all who
are under his charge and is looked upon
not only as a man of rare business capa-
city, but also one whose strong mind and
sound logic would do honor to his dis-
trict in the Legislature.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.—Quite a
large party of friends and neighbors
assembled at the home of Mrs. Louisa
A. Crust, in Potter towdship, last
Saturday, 8rd inst., to pay there respects
to that excellent lady, and also to
leave many pakages and bundles which
completely surprised her. Mrs. Crust
was left, almost five years ago, a widow
with four children to support, but she
nobly went to work and is raising them
in a creditable manner. The neighbors
did well to show their appreciation of
her effort, and a little charity in cases of
kind is well applied. Among the ladies
present were Mrs. L. McEntire, Mrs.
E. Reese, Mrs. K. Marshall, and many
others. Mrs. Crust is an excellent
carpet weaver, and should be employed
by her neighbors.
——The sociable held at the residence
of Mrs. Joe Holders in Coleville, last
Tuesday evening, by the ladies of the
M. E. chapel in that place, proved to

improved by the addition of several
new men.
