rest enough to strengthen up the

two dailies to disclose their own futures.

Hox. JouN HOLDEN ORvis.—After
an illness of but a few days Hon. John
Holden Orvis died at his home, No. 137
east Linn street, in this place, last Mon-
day afternoon. Having returned from
a deer hunt on his reserve, Spruce Run
Park, last Friday he seemed in the best
of health until that evening when a
slight hemorrhage of the stomach some-
what alarmed his household, On Sat-
urday morning he felt better and went
to his office in the Exchange as usual,
intending to make a business trip to
Lock Haven. Butas he grew worse he
returned home instead and then began
the dissolution which terminated Mon-
day afternoon in his death. Successive
hemorrhages having been the cause.
Hon. John H. Orvis was of puritan
descent ; his ancestors being among the
emigrants in the second vessel that land-
ed on the shores of New England. He
was born in Sullivan township, Tioga
county, Pa., February 24th, 1835.
‘While yet a boy of twelve years, he
came to reside in Howard, Centre
county ; attended the common schools
and at the early age of fifteen years
(1850-1851)became a school teacher in
Curtin township, and as such assisted
in the organization of the ‘‘teachers
institute of Centre county’ (Cctober 1,
1850) at Oak Hall. In 1851 he went to
Baltimore where he learned the art of
printing. From thence he went to
Chester county where he worked at his
trade and attended a term at the New
London academy. Returning to Clin-
ton county, he followed his trade of
printing, also teaching school ; notably
one term 1853-1854, at Rock Hill school
house, in Harris township, Centre county,
He read law under the tuition of N. L.
Atwood, Esq., at Lock Haven, and was
admitted to the bar of Clinton county in
February 1856.
He practised his profession at Lock
Haven until in December 1862 he was
admitted to the bar of Centre county
and removed to Bellefonte, where he
resided until his death. He was elected
a member of the Legislature in the fall
of 1872 and re-elected in 1873. In the
Legislature none exceeded him in a-
bility ; he was marked by great activity
of intellect, and there has seldom been
met with in anyone a clearer compre-
hension of the subjects of legislation.
He first began the practice of law in
this county as a partner in the firm of
Orvis & Alexander of which the late ex-
State Senator Cyrus T. Alexander was
the junior member. This partnership
lasted until he took his seat on the
bench and after his retirement from the
judiciary he took C. M. Bower Esq.,and
his only son, Eilis L. Orvis, into the
firm of Orvis, Bower & Orvis, which
since 1884 has flourished as one of the
leading law firms of the State.
The office of additional law judge for |
the 25th District was created by the act
of April 9th, 1874, and John H. Orvis
was appointed thereto, while still a
member of the Legislature, by Gov.
John F. Hartranft. This graceful act,
as coming from a political opponent,
was appreciated by the people of Centre
county, and Judge Orvis was elected in
November 1874, for the full term of ten
years. Under the act of August 7th,
1883, he became president judge but,
soon after resigned his position and re-
sumed the practice of his profession.
Judge Orvis. was a self-made man
who without a collegiate education, by
sheer ability and industry, raised him-
self. to the front rank in his profession.
He was eminent especially as a criminal
lawyer and manifested peculiar strength
in the trial of complicated cases in eject-
ment. He was skillful in the conduct
of a cause, never losing sight of the
main issue. A powerful advocate at the
bar, he took up all possible points in an
orderly way, presented them with great
clearness, and before a jury had few
equals. He was a storehouse of legal
knowledge, a share of which he delight-
ed in contributing to his juniors in the
pro fesssion to aid them in their forensic
efforts. He identified himself with the
science and logic of law and by the
force and inherent powers of a mind
clear, profound and active, he attained
distinction as an advocate and judge.
The tall angular form, the straight
black hair, the broad forehead, and the
keenly intellectual eye of the dead bar-
rister will live in the memory of the
many who knew him. He was a man
whose loss to the town is that of one
who has brought it honor, and to the
country, of an eminent jurist whose
death it can ill afford. His signal suc-
cess in his profession was due to the fact
that he made a study of the fundamen-
tal principles underlying all law and
derived his deductions from a scientific
research of those principles.
He married Caroline E. Atwood, of
Chester county, who survives him with
four children, Ellis L. Mrs. Harry Kel-
ler and Miss Caroline who live here,
and Mrs. A. E. Canfield, of Jenkin-
town, Pa.,
The funeral services were conducted
at the house yesterday afternoon, Rev.
Charles Long, of Lock Haven, officia-
ting, assisted by Revs. Laurie D.D.,
Houck and Noll of this place. The re-
marks were simple and bore directly up-

——At a regular meeting of town
council on Monday evening business of
a routine sort was all that was acted up-
on. All of the members were present and
discussed the electric light question,
winding up by laying it on the table
until the next meeting. The question
of the possible necessity of having to
look after a great many poor people in
the county was touched upon by Dr.
Dartt, member from the North ward.
His suggestion is to have the Strest com-
mittee work in conjunction with the
Overseers of the Poor to give all able
bodied applicants for assistance work is
a good one and will effect much good if
followed out. But it should be remem-
bered that only Bellefonte poor can be
employed.

Foor BALL AT STATE COLLEGE,——
About one thousand enthusiastic specta-
tors cheered themselves loarse last
Monday afternoon, on Beaver Field, at
State College, when the blue and white
kickers lined up against the strong
eleven from the Western University of
Pennsylvania, at Allegheny. The game
had been postponed from Saturday on
account of rain and the visitors, who
were badly handi capped by the absence
of several good men, made good their
opportunity by filling up the vacan-
cies.
The game started with the ball in the
possession of State and the Varsity boys
working toward the east goal. The
game began with a flying wedge, but
owing to a fumble State was downed
with a loss of five yards. Encouragd
by this fluke the visitors forced the
ball to P. S. C's 80yd line where they
lost itand P. S. C. by successive short
rushes carried it back to mid field. There
Boden kicked and Stuart securing the
ball made a long run through the en-
tire line of W. U. Ps and scored the
first touchdown. The fight then waged
very warm, but State sent Haley over
the line for a scond touchdown; just be-
fore time expired in the half.
The second half was less interesting
than the first as the visitors were weaken-
ed by Boden being hurt. The superior
training of P.S. C. men was plainly
evident and the Varsity seized every
opportunity to delay the game and
rest. State rushed the ball continually
and scored three touchdowns, from
which goals were kicked, besides for-
cing their opponents to make a safety.
For the visitors Boden, Trees, Fiscus,
McNeil and Neil played best, the latter
especially distiguishing himself by
repeated dashes through State's line for
gains of from ten to thirty yards. Stuart
and White played a brilliant game for
the home team and all the other men
played up to their old time form with
the exception of Harris who seemed to
have had a day off. State’s interfer-
ence and tackling was particularly fine
and the visitors could have made a far
better showing had they guarded their
players while running with the ball.
The teams lined up as follows :

SuppEN DEATH OF A WELL KNOWN
CirizEN.—Scarce had the people of
Bellefonte begun to fully realize that
the death of Hon. John H. Orvis had
really occurred when they were startled
with theannouncement that Mr. John
W. Moore bad suddenly expired at his
home, on east Howard street, at an early
hour Tuesday morning.
Apparently in the best of health he
started out for a day’s hunt on Mcnday
morning. Goingdown the new rail-
road to Hecla he started in there for
birds and becoming fatigued several
times he sat down to rest. Such an
occurrence seemed very ordinary as he
had not been accustomed to so much
walking. Upon returning home in the
evening he complained of feeling chilly,
but before going to bed seemed all
right and slept quite sound until about
two o’clock in the morning when he
suddenly expired. Heart disease is as-
cribed as the cause.
John W. Moore was fifty-seven years
of age and first became known to the
people of this community as a photog-
rapher. He conducted a gallery here
until the fire that burned the McKee
hardware store, on Allegheny street,
not only destroyed his place of business
but his home and all its contents. He
had been an artist of considerable skill
and had always enjoyed a good patron-
age, but after the fire he opened a gro-
cery store, on Howard street, which he
was conducting at the time of his death.
Mr. Moore was a man given more to
scientific research than to the ordinary
matters of life and seemed peculiarly
happy when working out astronomical
or geological questions. In the latter
he was considered good authority.
A widow and three children mourn
his loss. Funeral services were held
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from |
his late home. Rev. Miles O. Noll, of
the Reformed church, officiating.
.
A BroxEN LEG SToPPED THE FIGHT. !
—Last Saturday afternoon Charley
Grenoble, whose home is in Sprirg
Mills, was sitting in a blacksmith shop.
pear the State College watching bis
employer, ‘Gum’ Hubler, shoe a
horse. A young man named Blair
entered the shop and apparently with
out provocation called Grenoble a very
hard name. Mr. Hubler told his boy
to resent such an insult whereupon the
the young fellow jumped down off a
high trestle he was sitting on with the
intention of making Blair retract.
But when be jumped his foot stuck in a
keg of scrap iron that was immediately
under him and before he could extricate
himself Blair bad pounced upon him
with the result that his leg was broken
just above the ankle.

LITERARY ENTERTAINMENT AT THE
Acapemy.—The Pierian and Addison-
ian literary societies of the Bellefonte
Academy will give a joint entertain-
ment in Calisthenic hall this evening.
It will be interesting from start to finish
and the students hope to make enough
to purchase a large reference dictionary
for the school. An admission price of
ten cents will be charged. All are in-
vited.
JouN H. ODENKIRK DEAD.—One of
the best known residents of Pennsvalley
died, on Monday morning, at his home
at Old Fort, as the result of the ravages
of consumption. He had been ‘a sufferer
for years with pulmonary trouble and
had been undergoing treatment for a
long time. He kad long been identified
with the Old Fort hotel and many a
party of travelers will remember the
kindly hospitality that: welcomed them
there. Mr. Odenkirk was a man of
fifty-four years of age and leaves a
widow and four children to mourn their
loss. Funeral services were held on
Wednesday morning and interment
was made at Centre Hill.
“BiLL” Lyon THINKS HE 18 A
CouNTY OFFICIAL.—Some time ago
the Legislature passed an act intended
for Jefferson county in which that coun-
ty was allowed to combine its offices of
Register of Wills, Recorder of Deeds and
Clerk of Orphan’s Court under one of-
fice. It was to affect counties of forty
thousand population which had not been
made separate judical districts. The
intent however was that Jefferson coun-
ty was the only one to be affected and
the lawyers at Harrisburg left it go as a
special law. :
Now our jolly butcher friend, ¢Bill”’
Lyon, got hold of the idea that he could
slip into the office without anyone
getting onto it, so he got a few of his
friends to vote for him for ‘Register of
‘Wills, Recorder of Deeds and Clerk of
Orphan’s’ Court.” Of course the law
under which William hoped to be
elected is supposed to apply only
to Jefferson county and William
had better save his money and not go to
court over the matter. to freeze Messrs
Rumberger and Morrison out for while
there is a possibility that he could make
a little trouble he will nevertheless come
out of the little end of the horn. He is
not elected because, -
The election laws require that the
Sheriff make a proclamation of all
offices to be filled and of the time and
places for voting for them. Sheriff
Ishler had no such office on his proela-
mation as Mr. Lyon thinks he is eleeted
to fill, >
The act passed for Jefferson county is
special legislation and if ounce carried
into the courts it would be pronounced
unconstitutional as such.
Even if both the above reasoms do
not convince Mr. Lyon that he would
be a ioser in the event of a legal pro-
ceeding what more could he do fthan
have the office declared vacant. He
would “not be the incumbent because
his office was not proclaimed by the
sheriff, consequently it would devolve
upon the Governor to appoint and
Governor Pattison would very prompt-
ly call upon Messrs Rumberger and
Morrison to act.

HangeD HIMSELF IN His BARN.—
The sad circumstances attending the
death of Mr. Perry Condo, of near
Jacksonville, last Monday, will cause
sincere regret in the hearts of those who
Seized with an impulse, during tem-
porary insanity, be hanged himself in
his own barn and thus ended a life
which to all accounts had been both
happy and successful. He owned the
fertile farm on which he lived, was the
father of two grown up children, a boy
and girl, and his domestic life is said to
have been of the happiest. For some
time he had suffered with dyspesia and
it is thought the melancholia produced
by that trouble excited his mind to the
commission of the act.
On Monday he did not seem unwell
and the shock to the community, when
his farm hand found him hanging by a
trap in the granary can well be imagin-
ed. His body was taken down but life had
flown and all efforts to revive him were
futile.
Deceased had been a member of the
Evangelical church, a respected citizen
of that locality and a kind husband and
father. He was about fifty years old,

THE SCALE WoRKs HERE TO STAY.
—A communication from this place
which appeared in the Williamsport

that the Standard Scale Co., intended
moving their works to Pittsburg, a state-

positively incorrect.
A number of the firm has informed
us that the works are located at Belle-
fonte to stay and notwithstanding the
great depression have .been running

ing a large number of good orders.
Why such rumors are started is a
question which is hard to answer, but if
correspondents would report facts and
not surmises, it would be far better for
all concerned.
