Tae Sap Exp or WiLLiam J. Cox’s
LirE.—On the morning of July Fourth
William J. Cox left his family in this
place to spend the day patriotically in
Centre Hall. Upon arriving at his des-
' tination he registered at the hotsl and
upon request was assigned room No, 11
| by land-lord David Bartges. He staid
‘about the hotel during the entire day
and it was noticeable that he seemed
melancholy. Daring the fore part of
the afternoon some one in an adjoining
room heard laborious breathing coming
from No. 11 and investigation disclosed
the fact that there was something ser-
iously wrong with its occupant, who was
lying on the bed in a heavy stupor.
Doctors Jacobs and McGeehan were
speedily called and at once discovered
that the man was under the influence of
a powerful opiate. Everything possi-
ble was done to revive him, but death
came shortly after eight o’clock and
claimed the life which he had apparent-
ly valued so little.
Justice of the Peace Jas. C. Boal, act-
ing as coroner, empanneled a jury
which sat on the body and rendered the
following verdict .
CoMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA CENTRE Co.
An inquisition indented and taken at Ceu-
tre Hall in the County of Centre on the fourth
day of July A. D. 1893 before me J. C. Boal
Justice of the Peace, acting as Coroner, upon
the view of the body of Wm. Cox, then and
there lying dead, upon the oaths of John
Spangler, J. W. Wolf, Howard Homan, W. J.
Carlin, Cyrus Brungart, J. W. Henney, good
and lawful men of the county aforesaid, who
being duly sworn to inquire, on the part of the
*Commonwealth, when, where, how and after
what manner the said Wm. Cox came to his
death, do say that he died July 4th, 1893, from
unknown causes, supposed to be from a mix,
ture of opium, with suicidal intent, according
to the evidence.
In witness whereof we have hereunto set our
James C. Boar, acting as Coroner.
JOHN SPANGLER.
J. Wirmer Worr.
HowaArp Homax.
W. J. CARLIN.
Cyrus BRUNGART.
J. W. HENNEY.
According to the testimony brought
out at the inquest it was evident that
the deceased had gone to Centre Hall
with the intent of never returning alive
and more is the sorrow at his sad end
when it is known that a loving wife and
three as bright little children as any
parent has ever been blessed with are
left widowed and orphans.
William J. Cox was the oldest son of
the late Augustus Cox, of this place,
and by profession was a carpenter. He
had had steady employment at the
Bellefonte Furnace Co’s works where
his services were highly valued, as he
was an exceptional workman. Deceased
was 85 years old and was buried from
his late home on last Thursday.
A BELLEFONTER DROWNED. —Daniel
Gallagher, a well known character in
this community, met his death in a mys-
terious ‘way on the afternoon of July
Fourth. He was a passenger on the
morning train for Lock Haven and
about two o’clock the same afternoon
his body was found in Bald Eagle Creek,
under the Flemington bridge, just on
this side the latter city, Whether he
had been drowned or not is a question
which will never be answered for, as far
as is known, no one saw him go into the
stream or no cause can be ascribed for
his being found there. The coroner of
Clinton county empanneled a jury and
rendered a verdict of death from heart
disease while wading across Bald Eagle
Creek at Flemington bridge.
The body was found in fifteen inches
of water and as there were no marks of
violence on it the general supposition is
that the unfortunate man, being refused
permission to walk over the bridge,
started through the water when death
overtook him.
He has several brothers in this place
where his body was brought on Wednes-
day morning, and the interment was
made on Thursday from St. John’s
Catholic Church.
A Gara Day CoMING FOR THE
Looaxs.—The picnic which the Logan
Steam Fire Engine Co:, held at Hun-
ter’s Park last season proved such a
grand success that the firemen have de-
cided that they will continue the de-
lightful summer excursions and number
their annual picnicks along with their
grand New Year’s balls which have
long been a factor in ‘mid-winter social
festivities. Accordingly on Thursday,
the 20th inst., the firemen with their
sweet hearts, wives, children and friends
will spend the day at the Park.
Amusements of every kind will be in
order, among them dancing, base ball,
boating, a band concert and numerous
other mothods of innocent enjoyment.
Everyone is invited to take the day off
and spend it at the Park.
Trains will leave Bellefonte for the
Park at 6:30, 9:10, 10:30, 11:60 a. m. ;
1:50, 4:40 and 7 p. m. Return from
Park to Bellefonte at 8.48 a. m.; 1:20,

old daughter of a man named Gettig,
on Second street, in Philipsburg, on
Saturday evening. The infant was

the cow’s back. No serious injury re.
sulted.
——These constant reports which ap-
pear in the city dailies of escaped ani-
mals from the Main circus wreck which
are turning up in all quarters are ex-
ceedingly tiresome. The latest is about
a Kangaroo, an animal which Mr. Main
never had in his menagerie.
——Nine Lock Haven bicyclists
started to make a one hundred mile ride
from Lock Haven on the Fourth and of
all the starters only one pulled through
over the route to Tyrone and return the
same day. All of the riders but one
met with some mishap or got tired out.
——1TIt is a rare coincidence that both
candidates for president judge of Clear-
field county are Centre county boys.
Hon. D. L. Krebs, the Democratic nomi-
nee was born on a farm in Ferguson
township, and Cyrus Gordon Esq. the
Republican aspirant, was born near
Hecla.
——Qut of eighty-nine county or lo-
cal agricultural societies in the State all
but eight hold regular fairs for the ex-
hibition of live stock and farm produce.
$55,500 are annually paid out in prem-
iums and it requires $150,000 to run all
the fairs one year. The grounds and
appurtenances, owned by the societies,
aggrega te $675,000 in value.
——The next annual convention of
the P. 0.8. of A. of Blair, Centre,

meeting, in Renova, T, W. Nichols, of
Renova, was elected President; J. N.
Farnsworth, of Lock Haven, Secretary
and Geo. H. Harman, of Bellefonte,
Treasurer.
——That the Epworth League So-
ciety in Jersey Shore is in a flourishing
condition is best evidenced by the great
success which attends all of its undertak-
ings. On last Thursday evening the
young Leaguers held a sociable in the
church in that place which was a most
delightful affair indeed. Everything
passed off with a success that was
charming.
——1In the wreck which occurred near
Osceola, on the Clearfield and Tyrone
rail-road last Friday, W. I. Fleming,
of this place, was forced to save himself
by diving head first through the car
window. Aside from running his nose
into a pile of coal and telescoping him.
self almost as bad as the car was, he
suffered no serious injury. The wreck
was caused by a freight train’s running
into Day express.
—— While picking cherries at Mr.
Tressler’s, just a short distance from her
own home, on last Monday evening, Miss
Minnie Reeser, who lives near Hunter’s
Park, fell eighteen feet from a tree,
alighting on the back of her neck and
shoulders. She has been in a precarious
condition ever since. Dr. Dartt was
called, but found no bones broken,
though the young woman was seriously
injured. It is thought she will recover.
——Says a shrewd writer in an ex-
change: This is the season of the year
when some misguided advertisers cut
down their space because business is
dull. If advertisements are business
bringers and they must be or merchants
would not pay for them, the dull season
is a good time to double the space. It
would be a poor locomotive engineer
who let the steam pressure run down on
up grades. Shrewd merchants are com-
ing to see this, and when tho people
seem reluctant to buy simply give them
a double dose of urging.
| ——The death of Mrs. Mary Wil.
liams occurred from apoplexy at her
home in Boalsburg on the morning of
the 4th inst. She had gotten up rather
early and gone over to help Mrs. Ham-
ill Boal do some house work and was
just about to begin milking when her
cries attracted Mr. Boal to the stable
where he found her lying on a pile of
hay complaining of a terrible pain in
the head. The stricken woman lingered
a few hours and died.
Deceased ‘was 45 years of age, having
been born in Haines township this coun-
ty in 1845. Six children are left or-
phans by the untimely death of a devct-
ed mother. During life Mrs. Williams
was a consistent member of the Luth-
eran church.

Over two hundred are ill with the dis- | ont galore to fitly celebrate our day of |
| independence. The town was gayly
| attired in bunting and flags, great
arches spanned the street at a number of
places and every thing tock on a holi-
day appearance. Centre Hall bad in-
vited people from every-where and
when the trains began to arrive it seemed
that the invitation had been accepted.
At eleven o'clock the parade moved
from the station, chief marshall Wm.
B. Mingle escorting the line as follows:
The Bellefonte Wheelmen’s Club, forty
members ; the Bellefonte band ; Co., B.
5th Reg. N. G. P., Millheim band,
Logan Steam Fire Engine Co., of
Bellefonte, Pleasant Gap band, Belle-
fonte Castle Knights of the Golden
Eagle, a float on which there was a
young lady representing every State in
the Union, Young America on foot,
and grotesque fantastics brought up the
rear, The parade was a very creditable
one and was an honor to the town in
which it was held.
During the afternoon a picnic, base-
ball game, sports, a band concert and
speaches by Ex-Governor Curtin, Gen.
Hastings, Hon. S. R. Peale, of Lock
Haven, and Col. Jack Spangler proved
interesting features.
On the whole the day was well ar-
ranged and proved a decided surprise
to most of the visitors. It simply goes
to show what can be made of such an
occasion by people who have the neces-
sary energy %o get it up. Centre Hall
did herself proud and her people are
happy accordingly.

Have You SEEN THE COMET ?--
A comet is now visible in the heavens
with the naked eye in the early even-
ing. It is a few degrees wast of the
polar star. It will be readily found by
tracing a line through the star forming
the corner of the bowl of the great dip-
per nearest the handle down through
the star at the opposite corner. Con-
tinue this line nearly double the distance
between them downward and two stars
justin the corner of the Ursa Major
will be met. Just below this about
three degrees anda little to the west
the comet was seen, but it will be found
somewhat nearer the two third magni-
tude stars noted this evening. The tail
points almost directly upward, though
it does lean a little toward the east.—Ez.
——The marriage of Miss Gertrude
Spigelmeyer, of North Penn street, to

A Goop SueGEsTION.—The . Fayette
county grand jury, says the Greensburg
Tribune, makes a suggestion that local
institutes be held throughout the county
to discuss the subject of road improve-
ment. This is a suggestion that might
be accepted with profit elsewhere than
in Fayette county. Two years will
elapse before the state legislature again
convenes, and in that time a wonderful
amount ot work could be done. If the
friends of road improvement would go
to work systematically to interest and
educate the masses on the road question,
these two years intervening between
now and the assembling of the legitla-
ture should enable them to create such
a sentiment in favor of good roads that
would demand action by that body.
