J. Toomas SANKEY.—In the recent
death of Mr. Thomas Sankey near Cen-
tre Hall, the community has lost a
bright and promising young man.
Some years since, at the time of the
death of his: father, Ex-Commissioner
John Sankey, Tommy,the only son, was
a boy in his teens. The mother and fam-
ily having been bereft of their protector
and counsellor, Tommy, with true man
ly courage stayed with his mother and
endeavored to fill the desolation of her
heart with the comfort of a devoted son,
largely taking the place of his father
as the head of the family in the manage-
ment of the homestead farm and he
soon ranked among the best farmers of
the community.
In the social circle he will also be
greatly missed, as he was ever pleasant
and agreeable to those around him, re-
spected and beloved by old and young
for his noble and manly qualities,always
foremost in every good enterprise in the
community.
The earnest desire to enter upon a use-
ful career early in life induced him to
become a member of Progress Grange
at Centre Hall and he proved to be a
most devoted and active member,always
filing with marked ability every posi-
tion to which he was called.
While our hearts are desolate and the
family bereft of him they loved so well,
with none to fill his place where ho was
so much needed, yet we do not mourn
as those without hope, for a life so good
and useful here must enter upon a ca-
reer of happiness in that new and
better world.
Sweet eyelids closed to sight of sin,
And ears grown deaf to curse or praise;
No hand shall lead thy feet within
Life’s gilded paths or hell’s by-ways,
Many hearts are broken o’er thee ;
Could tears to life restore thee,
Remorse give back thy breath,
Unloose the bands of death,
Would we dare to lift the coffin lid
And bid
The heart to beat again ?
Zhno!
Sleep on and rest, sweet one.”

THE JoENsTOWN FLOOD COMMISSION.
—The final report of the Commissioners
that took charge of and distributed the
funds contributed for the relief of the
sufferers from the flood of 1889,” is an
interesting document. The loss of life
at Johnstown and vicinity, as near as it
could be ascertained, was 2,142. Nine
families numbering from 2 fo 10 were
washed away in the State outside of the
Conemaugh valley 78 persons, 4 of
whom were in Centre county, and 30 in
Clinton county. The 4 persons drown-
ed in this county were Miss Eva Poust,
aged 29 years, Ellen Mary Poust, 6
years ; Charles Monroe Poust, 5 years
and Bruce M. Poust, one year.
The losses in property in the Cone-
maugh valley are put down at $11,871,-
105. The commission fails to state the
losses in other parts of the State, which,
in our opinion, would foot up to nearly
the amount of that of Johnstown.
The total contributions in cash to the
flood sufferers were 4,116,301,148, of
this amount $2,912,346,30 were placed
in the hands of the commission, the bal-
ance being distributed by other charit-
able associations and local committees.
Besides the cash contributions thers was
contributed and distributed, outside of
the commission $1,200,000 in supplies,
Making the total contributions, $5,316,-
801, 48.
Forty-seven states and territories sent
in contributions in cash $1,188,403,84 ;
N. Y. $811,761,05 ; Massachusetts $255-
646,12; Ill., $206,986,85; and Ohio
$200,243,02.
Bellefonte contributed $1,864; Tyrone
$242,06 Philadelphia $486,698,99; Pitts-
burg $255,569,90 and the employees of
the Pennsylvania R. R. $6,980.00.
The State of North Carolina contrib-
uted the smallest amount of any state
ite contribution being only $1,541,31,
Mississippi $2,494,70 being the next low
est.
Sixteen foreign countries contributed
to the flood commission a total of $141,-
300.98 ; England leading with $42,900;
Germany $37,085.35, and France $25,-
052.33. The smallest contribution,com-
ing from Italy, being only nine dollars
whilst far-off Russia sent fifty dollars.
Of the money distributed by the
commission Centre county, received fifty
dollars, Lock Haven $47,863.14, the
Conemaugh valley $2,592,982 68, the
balance being distributed in other parts
of the state.
——The new M. E. church at Cole-
ville will be dedicated to the servic: of
"in
God on Sunday, August 10th.
——The following in the Williams-
port Gazetie and Bulletin is a most
startling bit of information from Centre
county, which will greatly surprise the
people hereabouts, as they heard noth-
ing about it previous to its appearing
that paper: “Centre county has
furnished a number of tragical scenes
within the past eighteen months. An-
other was added to the list last Friday
evening when a farmer named Albert
Parmenter, who lived eight miles east
of Bellefonte, shot his wife and then
himself, dying almost instantly. His
wife lived only four hours. They left
two children who are being cared for by
neighbors. Parmenter was in failing
health, and the fear of a long and ex-
pensive illness ending in death, and
that thereby his wife and children
would be left to struggle and suffer
alone, unbalanced his mind.”
——To-morrow night the ladies of
the Methodist church at Fillmore will
hold an open air festival in the church
yard at that place. These Fillmore fes-
tivals have always heretofore been a
source of much pleasure to Bellefonters,
and arrangements have been made with
the Bellefonte and Buffalo Run R. R-
Co. for a special train which will leave
the depot to-morrow evening at seven
o'clock. The regular excursion rates
will be charged and the train will re-
turn just whenever the people get their
fill of the good things which will be
served.
——The beautiful glass wagon be-
longing to the Abram Cox Stove com-
pany, while passing through Fleming-
ton Tuesday morning, accidentally ran
into a buggy driven bya drummer,
which was overset by the collision and
the drummer thrown out, but not much
burt. The buggy was considerably
damaged and one leg of the horse a
trifle skinned up. The men in the glass
wagon were busily engaged in throwing
out stove circulars at the time, and’ possi-
bly did not see or hear the drummer,
A big woodsman, whom the
chief of police, of Renovo, had placed
under arrest, knocked the officer down
with the handcuffs which were on his
wrists. The Renovo News says the
woodsman stood over the prostrate form
of the officer and told him if the hand-
cuffs were not removed immediately he
would descend upon him again with
greater force and perhaps - fatal effect.
The chief deliberated, took off the cuffs
and the woodsman after cursing him -
wildly moved on.
Mr. Joseph R. DMuflly, well
known to many of our readers, and who
has been enjoying the summer in Mon-
tana, in a private note to the editor,
writes: “I have been up in the ‘Coeur-
De-Alenes’”” in Idaho for some time.
This is a beautiful country, well timber-
ed, good soil, good water, and delightful
climate. ‘While you poor tellows were
sweltering at night all over the Eastern
and Middle States, we were snoring
comfortably under a pair of blankets.”
——The Penna. R. R. base ball club
of Phila., which played with our team
last season, will be here on the 25th of
this month to give us another trial. The
Philadelphia boys were very much dis-
appointed over the result of their last
game here and want to come back to
try and redeem themselves. At pre-
sent they stand at the head of the
strongest amateur league in Philadcl-
phia.
——After spending a week at Belle-
fonte, his tormer home and the scenes of
his earlier days, Mr. W. J. Beezer, of
this city, left this morning for Chicago,
I1l., where he represents local union,
No. 487, United Brotherhood of Car-
penters and Joiners of America, at their
sixth general convention, which will be
held in that city August 4 to 9. We
wish him a pleasant journey and a safe
return.—-Altoona Times.
——Last week the barn of Jacob
Snyder, about four miles west of Mid-
dleburg, Snyder county, caught fire
from the sparks from a locomotive and
was burned with its contents, including
about 700 bushels of unthreshed wheat,
400 bushel of oats, 46 loads of hay and
nearly all his farming implements in-
cluding a harvester and threshing ma-
chine. The live stock was gotten out.
——The Renovo Herald is not satis-
fied with the census report for that bor-
ough which puts the figures at 4,335,
and thinks that they show that the
to wr is going backward, if they are cor-
rect, for in July, 1888, a gentleman con-
nected with one of the papers of the
town went from house to house and
made a thorough count which showed
a population of 4486.
Logan Grange 109 will give a
festival in their new hall near Pleas-
ant Gap station on Saturday evening,
Aug. 9th, beginning at 6 o'clock. Re-
freshments of all kinds will he served.
Every body is invited and a good time
is anticipated.
——Renovo’s population, as based on
the official figures of the enumeration,
is estimated by Captain Bricker at
4,200, with 185 for South Renovo, mak-
ing & sum total of'4,335.
Dearan or Miss CrLara HAarrs-
wick.—That God’s ways are not our
ways was instanced in our midst last
week when He took unto himself Miss
Clara Hartswick, an estimable woman
endowed with the ability and strength
of purpose to make herself a very help-
ful member of the human race in what-
ever line she may have attempted. We
oftimes wonder why so many ot us of
such inferior endowments are allowed
to live while God gathers his jewels so
surely. “Shall T have naught that is
fair’’ saith He, and he'transplants them
from this world a to fairer and bright-
er one where their “talent,” lightened
by the glory of His countenance, shall
shine with the greater lustre because of
the care taken to increase its value in
this world. For several years Miss
Hartswick had toiled patiently and con-
scientiously through her college course,
never shirking her duty as daughter,
student or friend, ever ready to lend a
helping hand and give a sympathizing
smile, and now, with her foot upon the
last round of her college course, in the
full bloom of a womanhood giving pro-
mise of such rich fruit, she has begun
her work ‘where there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow nor crying, neith-
er shall there be any more pain.”
REM. PeALe Sues His FATHER-IN-
Law For $40,000.—The Philadelphia
Press reports that Rembrandt R. Peale,
originally of Lock Haven, but residing
in Philadelphia as Secretary of the
Bloomington Mining Company, has
brought suit for $40,000 against his
father-in law, A. C. Hopkins, of Lock
Haven. Mr. Peale claims that Mr.
Hopkins has retained control of that
much of his daughter’s estate, which
bad been left to her by W. D. Irvin.
All the parties are highly connected
in the circles of wealth and fashion in
the valley of the West Branch. Mr.
Peale is a son of ex-State Senator S. R.
Peale, of Lock Haven. A. C. Hopkins
is the head of one of the largest lumber
firms along the Susquehanna river, and
is largely interested in the banking busi-
ness. W.D. Irwin was, before his
death, a partner with Mr. Hopkins.
With him Jennie Lydia Hopkins, the
daughter of his partner who subsequent-
ly married Mr. Peale, was: a prime fa-
vorite. From him she inherited a large
estate, the exact amount of which her
husband does not know, because it was
all placed in her father’s hands before
her marriage. He has not yet been
; able to discover its full extent, owing to
the death of his wife in 1886 and the
strained relations which have existed
between him and Mr. Hopkins. Young
Peale sues to recover the property willed
to her by W. D. Irvin which is retained
by her father.
SINGULAR CoNDITION OF WILLIAM
Bur~sipe.—The following relating to
an old time citizen of Bellefonte, which
appeared in the Philadelphia Press of
Tuesday, may be of interest to some of
our readers :
‘William Burnside, who had been
mysteriously missing since Thursday,
was found wandering on the streets last
night in the neighborhood of Spruce
and Fifteenth Streets. He was ina
dazed and almost helpless condition and
gave every indication of having passed
through an ordeal as marked as the full
explanation of it is now impossible.
About 8:30 last night William Wal-
lace , an old friend of the Burnside fam-
ily, was on his way toward home when
he noticed Burnside walking aimlessly
along the street. He accosted him at
once, but was not recognized by Burn-
side.
"he latter, however, did not object to
Wallace's proposition to take him home
and the latter put the old man on a
street car and took him to his house at
2130 Christian street. A physician was
at once summoned and, after an exam-
ination, he said that Burnside was evi-
dently suffering from the after effects of
drugs and that there were no indications
of his having been under the influence
of liquor. There were less than $2.00
found in his pockets out of about seven-
ty that he had when he left the Custom
House last Thursday, although his
watch was in his vest pocket. His
clothing was not disarranged and his
linen was in good condition, showing
that he at least had had sufficient sleep-
ing accommodation during his absence
from home.
Mr. Burnside was notin a condition
to give any accountof his wanderings.
In an incoherent way he repeatedly
said that he had been robbed, but when
and how could not be ascertained. At
one time he said he had been in Lancas-
ter, but the members of the family do
not believe he has been there, as he had
no reason to visit that town, and could
not give a statement in any way of the
connection that Laucaster had with his
absence. The theory was advanced by
one of the family that he had been led
off by a gang of sharpers said to fre-
quent the neighborhood of the Custom
House on pay day, and that he was in-
duced to believe he was in Lancaster in
order to throw searchers after him off
the track, when he should finally teil
the story regarding his absence.

THE FIRE AT CLARENCE. —Thursday
afternoon of last week alarming dis-
patches were sent to neighboring towns
announcing that a destructive fire was
prevailing in the neighborhood of
Clarence, near Snow Shoe, threatening
the saw-mill and lumber piles of Hop-
kins & Weymouth, and asking for as-
sistance. A steamer was sent from
Lock Haven, and when the firemen ar-
rived on the ground they found that
the fire extended from Clarence to Gill-
intown, about three miles, the ground
over which it was burning a section that
had been cut over long and abounding
in rotten stumps, logs, bushes, &e., all
of which were as dry as tinder. The
area covered by the conflagration was
quite wide in extent, anda high wind was
blowing 1t directly toward the mill and
lumber piles of Hopkins & Weymouth,
the latter comprising about 5,000,000
feet. Men had been fighting the fire
most all day, among whom was the in-
domitable John Uzzle, but it had con-
tinued to gain on them and they were
about exhausted when the rescuers
emerged upon the scen2. In giving an
account of the threatening advance of
the devouring element, the Lock Haven
Democrat says: Several times when
about to abandon the work discouraged,
the bucket brigade would be cheered by
the clarion tones of Uzzle saying, “Now
boys, we've got it; another effort and
we'll have it out,”” and then they would
go to work with renewed energy and
vigor. But still it continued to gain
on them, and was but slightly checked
until the firemen began to throw two
heavy streams upon it. The water
poured upon the fire on the side on
which the lumber piles were endanger-
ed, extinguished it for a good distance,
thoroughly wetting and saturating the
ground and everything between the fire
and lumber piles. By this means
the spread of the fire was restrained
and the saw-mill and lumber piles
saved.

FrEsH AIR CHILDREN,—A crowd of
at least six hundred people had gather-
ed at Coburn station on last Friday af-
ternoon, says the Millheim Journal, to
receive the fresh air children. One
hundred and eighty-four conveyances
passed the Coburn toll gate and some
thirty came from above. It re-
minded one of camp meeting. The
Millheim band entertained the crowd
with some music until the arrival of the
eastern train which was an hour late.
The children were taken into the depot
for distribution and it was six o'clock
before all was dome. The boys and
girls, as a rule, are clean, bright and in-
telligent, and are enjoying their week’s
vacation to its fullest extent, and many
people think of keeping them a week
longer. A good many of the girls will
go home with a well eeplentished ward-
robes.
PrAyiNG witH A RATTLESNAKE. —
A little child of Charles Hamacker, of
Renovo, about two years old, was res-
cued from a rattlesnake a few davs ago
by its mother, just in time to save it
from the serpent’s fangs. The snake
had somehow got into the yard of the
residence and the little one was discover-
ed deliberately punching it with a stick,
The snake was just ready to spring ap-
parently, when the mother appeared
| upon the scene and snatched the child
up. The father then blew the snake's
head off with his gun.
LycoMiNG JUDICIAL CoNTEST.—The
opinion in the judgeship contest is
being written by Judge Rockerfeller,
of Sunbury, and not by Judge Bucher,
as believed by some. It is understood
that His Honor is getting along well.
‘When completed the document will
be a ponderous one, and may go on
record as the largest legul opinion in the
state. The statement has been made
that the opimon may be handed down
this month, and generaf interest in the
matter is on the ascendency.

great heat of the evening every number
was danced with life and enjoyment.

PorurATIiON oF CENTRE. — Last
week’s WATCHMAN called attention to
the discrepancy in the reports of the
total population of the county as shown
by the census just taken. Referring to
that notice, Capt. Bricker, supervisor
of the census for this district, writes us:
“I never gave out the 51,000 as a total.
If I did it was a mistake. The popula-
tion of Centre county will be about 44,-
000 or less. After revising one borough
and one township will send you the to-
tal. Also No. of farms, deaths,soldiers,
&c., as reported to me.”
