James H. Ravkix Esq., DEADp.—
This venerable and respected citizen, of
Bellefonte, died at his home, corner of
High and Thomas streets, shortly before
noon on Saturday. He had been fail-
ing for some time, but was able to at-
tend to his business until Monday, the
last day his familiar figure was seen on
the streets. On Tuesday he became so
weak that he was required to take his
bed at the home of Gen. D. H. Hastings,
where he and Mrs. Rankin had been
spending a few weeks in order to be
with their daughter in the absence of
her husband. Wednesday morning he
rallied sufficiently to be removed to hig
own home, but afterwards he began to
sink very rapidly and his death resulted
from a general dissolution consequent
upon age and a complication of lung
and throat troubles.
Jas. H. Rankin, Esq., was born March
8rd, 1819, in the old McAllister house,
which still stands on the corner of Al-
legheny street and Cherry Alley. His

—— On Monday afternoon John
Wagner, one of the Bellefonte mail car-
riers, brought a small branch of an
Apricot tree which is growing in his
yard into this office. It bore two
ripe Apricots and they were fully as
large as a chicken egg. John says his
one tree has two bushels of such size
_ fruit growing on it. The seed of this
particular kind of Apricot is sometimes |
used on the market to displace almonds.
father, John Rankin, had been both
sheriff and prothonotary of the county
and was one of the earliest settlers of
the town. His early schooling was ac-
quired in the Academy and public
schools of this place and after gradua-
tion at the old Jefferson college, at Can-
nonsburg, he returned hither to read
law. As a student in the office of Wil-
liam Potter Esq., he displayed an un-
usual talent which had its reward in a
brilliant examination for admission to
the Centre county bar, which he passed
in January, 1840. The bar of the coun-
ty was at that time reputed one of the
best in the State. He followed his pro-
fession with such zeal that in 1850 the
Democrats easily elected him Distriet
attorney over Robert G. Durham, Re-
publican. He was re-elected in 1853
and ’56, defeating Edmund Blanchard
Esq., and William P. Wilson Esq.
His marriage to Miss Barbara Furey,
a daughter of Robert Furey, which was
solemnized, with great ceremony, at
Brown’s Milis, Mifflin county, proved a
most happy union. Six children, all of
whom are living, having blessed it.
They are Mrs. Alice Kinsloe, wif of R.
A. Kinsloe, Editor of the Wage Earners’
Journal, Philipsburg ; Hon. John I. of
Washington, D. C.; Mrs, Jennie Has-
tings, wife of Gen. D. H. Hastings, of
Bellefonte ; Robert, of Allegheny City ;
Miss Bella, one of Bellefonte’s school
teachers, and Edward, the Western Un-
ion telegraph operator, of Bellefonte.
In 1862 he enlisted in defence of the
Union and was mustered into service as
1st Lieutenant in Co. H. 56 Reg. P. V.
which was Captain “Bill” Brown’s
company. Sickness necessitated his re-
turn home shortly after. At the close
of the war he was appointed a head in
the [nternal Revenue Department. A
position which he filled with integrity.
When his term of office expired he re-
turned to the practice of law which,
with a general insurance business, he
kept up until the last few days of his life.
As a citizen none could have been bet-
ter than he. Asa husband and father
he was faithful and honored. As a
friend wejcan offer no more expressive
eulogium than tosay that the death of no
other man will cause more profound re-
gret in the hearts of all classes of people
in our town. His life, always simple
and unassuming, was that of an honora-
ble man. His character beyond re.
preach and his spirit fraternal and God-
like to a fault. He had no enemies be-
cause all who knew him were friends.
The funeral services were held at his
‘late heme on Monday afternoon, and it
must surely have been a solace to the be-
reaved ones to see that large assemblage,
drawn from every class, mourn with
them. Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presby-
terian church, Mr. Rankin’s pastor, was
assisted 1n the services by Rev. Houck.
of the Methodist church. The pall
bearers were: Hon. John B. Linn, D.
F. Fortney, Esq., John P. Harris, Rob-
ert McKnight, Sr., Col. George A. Bay-
ard, John T. Johnston and P. Gray
Meek.
The Centre county bar association and
Gregg Post, No. 95, G. A. R., of which
deceased was a charter member, attend-
ed the funeral in a body. :
Dr. SWARTZ GONE. —On Wednesday
last a telegram from Punxsutawney, to
our townsman, C. T. Gerberich, an-
nounced the death, in that place, of Dr.
Geo. M. Swartz from paralysis. Dr.
Swartz was well known throughout this
entire county. He began business in
Millheim, afterwards conducted a large
mercantile establishment at Pine Grove
Mills, and consequently came to Belle-
fonte where he practiced his profession
of dentistry for years, and has since re-
sided. A few months ago he concluded
to visit his son Edgar, at Punxsutawney
and shortly after reaching there was
stricken with paralysis from the effects
of which he partially recovered only to
receive a second and fatal stroke on Sat-
urday morning last. He was a most de-
vout member of the M. E. Church and
whatever his failures in worldly matters
may nave been, there were none in his
earnest efforts at doing the full duty of
a christian, as he understood it, or in
his unfaltering faith in the doctrines of
the church and the atoning power of the
blood of Christ. The remains were bur-
fed at Millheim on Thursday morning.

——The typhoid fever epidemic is
rapidly abating in Renovo. Out of 206
cases reported only four deaths occurred.
The scourge is now attributed to the use
of water from Paddy’s run, because
when it was discontinued the advance
of the fever was checked.
~The motor that runs the Presby-
terian pipe-organ refused to work on

a fine fellow. He undertook a great
job, but he completed it all the same.
—— Little Richard Jones, of Nut-

little fellow drank the contents of the
bottle with fatal results.

——Tyroners complain because the
umpire did not give their team a fair
shake in Williamsport and Renova.
They do not make any charges against
the way they were treated here because
they have no grounds for tho same.

why they permitted their “rooters” to
stone Bellefonte players during an ex-
hition game in Tyrone on Saturday.

the borough of Philipsburg, and it re-
versed the decision of our court hence

the Pennsylvania rail-road company for
alleged discrimination in freight tariffs,
which was carried to the supreme court
after a Huntingdon county jury had
awarded the plaintiffs $6,364,20 damages,
information has just been received that
the supreme court has reversed the de-
cision of the lower court and our towns-
men are thus losers of their case.

niting the wool with disastrous results.

- of Allegheny and Linn streets, where
services will be held until the auditor-
ium is completed.

A DisTINGUISIED VIsiTor.—Hon.
James K. Kelly, late United States
Senator from Oregon, and wife and Mrs.
Miller have arrived from Washington
City and are guests at the “Bush
House.” Senator Kelly isa native of
Centre County and has come to spend a
few weeks in the County of his nativ-
ity.
His father John Kelly formerly own-
ed the “Grove farm’ about two miles
from Spring Mills, in George's Valley,
where the Senator was born. He re-
ceived his Academic education at
James McClune’s noted academy, at
Lewisburg, from where he was trans-
ferred to Princeton college entering, in
the Senior year and graduating in the
class of 1839. Among his classmates
were the late Hon Henry M. Fuller, W.
I. Greenough Hsq., Rev. Slater C. Hep-
burn, and Ex-Gov. Joel Parker of New
Jersey. Heread law under the late
Judge John Reed at Carlisle, Of kis fel-
low students at Carlisle were the late
Hon. Samuel Linn, Willian C. Lawson
Esq. of Milton, Hon. F. B. Smithers of
Deleware, and Hon. James H. Campbell,
one of the directors of the Valentine
Iron Company.
Senator Kelly commenced to practice
law at Lewistown Pa., occupying the
law office of the late Hon. A. S. Wil-
son, who had been appointed President
Judge of the District.—He was and
appointed Prosecuting attorney for
Juniata County and then to the same
office in Mifflin county, where he re-
mained in active practice until the Cali-
fornia gold fever struck Central Penn-
sylvania. The following persons com-
posed the party with which Senator
Kelly went to California from Lswis-
town Pa., in 1849. Robert B. Green,
son of Genl. Abbot Green of Lewisburg;
Edward D. Hammond, son of Genl.
Robert H. Hammond, of Milton ; Rob-
ert Beck, James M. Duncan Esq., John
F. Hayes and Dr. W. A. Kelly of Cen-
tre county; F. G. Franciscus, James G.
Morrow, Lewis Vandling, Hugh Camp-
bell, John Smith, (barber), of Mifilin
county and a Jew named Levi.
They went to New Orleans, thence to |-
Vera Cruz, thence up to the City of
Mexico; from the City of Mexico
through the country, northwestward to
San Blas on the Pacific coast just south
of the mouth of the Rio Grande de
Santiago. They were the second party of
adventurers to go that way and ‘being
armed to the teeth, walking arsenals, at-
tracted great attention in the Mexican
towns they passed through. From San
Blas they went up the ocean to Mazat-
lan where they took a vessel and land-
ed in San Francisco in July 1849.
Of the party Senator Kelly and his
brother Dr: W. A. Kelly of Los An-
geles, California are probably the only
survivors. John Smith, who was a
mulatto barber, prospered and had in
time the largest establishment of the
kind in the city. Frank Franciscus
died on board the vessel and was buried
in the ocean, Senator Kelly reading the
funeral service over the body before
they consigned it to the deep.

ALL CLASSES AND CONDITIONS OF
MeN 1¥ THE ToILs.—An exchange has
compiled the following rather interest.
ing statistics concerning the Western
Penitentiary, at Allegheny. We publish
1t to give our readers an idea of who are
inmates of this wonderful institution.
The Western Penitentiary of this
State, at Allegheny city, now has a
population of 911, a greater number
that ever before. Of these 134 are serv-
ing sentences for manslaughter or mur-
der, and 13 are confined for life for the
same crime. ;
As to sex by far the greater propor-
tion are white males, there being 769 of
thew, there are 19 white females, 38
black males, and 3 black females, the
mulatto males outnumbering the blacks
the black. There are more prisoner
engaged in making mats than in any
other work, this number being 494, and
this department has brought in, in the
past year, almost $47,000. In 1892, 872
prisoners were received. One of these
is serving his 11th term—the sixth in
this prison. In that year 5 died, one
was pardoned by the President, and 7
by the Governor. The largest number
(89) of prisoners received in 1892, were
between and ages of 21 and 25, one man
was over 70. A school house had never
welcomed 45 of them, and 46 could not
read nor write. There are 65 foreigners
among them, 21 being from Ireland and
11 from Germany. Only 14 professed
no religious belief, 116 were Catholic,
and 110 Methodist. Of total abstainers
there were 48 ; all others drank more or
less. The greater number had trades
before entering--25, the largest number
from any one trade, being coal miners.
Seven prisoners died during 1892, all
but one of pulmonary consumption.
There are five religious services con-
ducted in the prison every Sunday,
some by Protestants and some by Catho-
lic clergymen. A choir is chosen from
among the prisoners and is trained un-
der an experienced instructor. A
school is conducted and has 110 scholars,
who are studying the common branches
from the primer to fractions in arith-
metic.
