storm movements has fairly reached |
the more easterly and southerly ex-
tremes of our great continent. It will
be frosty and cool generally for several |
days after the last named reactionary
storms. |
The last storm period of the month |
begins about the 20th and ends about |
the 80th. During 11s existence the reg-
ular changes in temperature, barometric
pressure, wind currents and all phbe-
nomens belonging to a regular storm
period, will show themselves in regular,
progressive order: All who have been
for any time careful students of nature,
or who have followed our fore-casts and
instructions for only a limited time
have discovered that extreme western
regions, as a rule, get all the phases of
storm periods earlier than central,
southern and eastern parts ot the conti-
nent. This is especially true in refer-
ence to the cold waves that rush in from
the northwest as sequels to almost every
storm period. When storms of an
equatorial origin dominate a period, the
south has rain, wind and thunder with
only thecold wave feature in the north
and west. All these facts are replete
with interesting study, besides the prac-
tical relation they bear tothe weal and
comfort of man and beast. January is
apt to end fair and frosty.
Dratn oF A ForMER RESIDENT OF
BELLEFONTE — After an illness of five
weeks Hdwin Tyson Esq. of Philips.
burg, died at his home in that place on
Thursday evening of last week. All
that medical skill could do was done to
save his life but ’twas of no avail.
Deceased was born in York county,
this state, on December 4th, 1834.
Twenty-two years later he married Miss
Eliza Heory and after a ten years resi-
dence in the county of his birth he
moved to this place where he successful -
ly conducted the meat market now own-
ed by Frank B. Stover, on High street.
He resided here twelve or fourteen years
when he moved to Philipsburg and con-
tinued in the meat business. One son,
William, who is the P. R. R. agent at
Vail, two daughters Sarah and Katie,
with their widowed mother, survive to
mourn the loss. which none but those
who ate bereaved of a loving father and
husband can realize.
Funeral services were held at his late
home on Friday evening and the body
was brought to this place the following
morning and laid to rest by the side of
the oldest daughter, Annie, who died in
girlhood during their residence here.
Constans Commandery K. T. of this
place, in full regalia attended the tun-
eral.
Mr. Tyson was & man of whom noth-
ing but good can be said. His life, al.
ways christian and unassuming, was
that of the honorable man we know him
to have been. In church, social and
political life he was known for his hon-
esty and strength of purpose. In his
death Philipsburg has lost an esteemed
citizen.

Nuturally an
active, robust woman she was alway,
present with a strong heart and a will-
ing hand to do what she could whether
atthe side of the sick or needy, the
Sunday school or in the general work
of the church, and even after her health
failed, during all the years of her suffer-
ingsit was of some one else and nev-
er of self that she thought.
To her devoted husband and many
relations ber death is an irreparable loss
for never was there a more considerate
wife or friend, but they in their bereave-
ment bave the consolation of know-
ing that ‘it is well with her soul.”
At the funeral services Monday morn-
ing at the house and at the Reformed
church Rev. D. M. Wolf and Rev. M.
0. Noll, her pastor, officiated and the
large number of people present at both
places gave evidence of the esteem in
which she was held.
Broke His Lec WHILE Taxing Off
His SHOE.—The death of the venerable
John W. Stuart at his home in Mar-
tha Furnace, on Monday evening De-
cember 24th, 1893, ended a long and
useful life in that community and solv-

man bad been suffering a long time with
what everyone thought to be rheumatism

kept people guessing as to how long it
would burn since before Christmas,
went out just after noon on Wednesday.
Thos. Moore, of F. P. Blair & Cos,
jewelers, was nearest the correct number
of hours it would burn. His guess of 200
came within 6 hours and 50 minutes of
the correct time, 193 hours and 10
minutes, and he won the Turkish rug.
—— On New Year's night the Logan
Steam Engine Co, held its first annual
full dress ball. For years the fire-laddies |
have been having an annual dance, but
they have all been masquerades. This
time, however, a change was made and as
of old all who attended had an excellent
time. The dance was held in Bush’s
Arcade and what with a good floor,
splendid music by Spangenberg’s or-
chestra, lots of pretty girls and gallant
young men, nothing was lacking to
make an enjoyable evening. A neat
sum was realized from the dance.
——A party of dranken Hungarians
attacked Mr. and Mrs. Phil Garbrick,
of Coleville while on their way to this
place Monday evening. Phil succeeded
in fighting them off until his wile es-
caped to the house of a neighbor and
then, deeming ‘discretion the better
part of valor’’ tovk to his heels. He
returned with a party of boys from
about Colevilie, but the Huns, were too
much for them so the aid of Sheriff Con-
do and a posse was sought. By the
time the sheriff arrived, however, the
dagos were all quieted down and no ar-
rests were made.
——The Logan machine works of
this place are still very busy placing
steam heating plants and plumbing, they
have just completed the heating sys tem
for the new hotel at the State College,
embracing very large twin low pressure
boilers conveying the steam to seventy
one radiators on the different floors.
The test was made on Monday and again
on Thursday and was entirely satisfac-
tory, doing its work easy and noiseless.
This firm have also just completed
two large jobs in Mifflin county and are
now placing the apparatus to heat the
Presbyterian church at Lewistown.
—— While driving from Stormstown
to Pine Grove Mills, last Friday even-
ing, Dr. A. R. Markel, of Tyrone, and
his brother, who resides in Stormstown,
got lost in the Barrens.” They could
not keep track ot the many cross roads
that so confuse travelers in that region
and not being able to borrow or buy a
lantern at a farm house where they
stopped they continued toward Scotia.
‘When in sight of the latter place Mr
Markle, who was driving ahead, came to
a sudden turn in the road and before he
could realize his danger horse, buggy
and all went tumbling down a 35 foot
embankment into an abandoned ore
shaft. Fortunately the soft mud saved
the horse from serious injury and the
buggy had a broken shaft as the result
of its tumble. Mr. Markel saved him-
self by jumping.
that trouble that had caused the con-
tinuous illness and finally death.
John W. Stuart was 82 years and 13
days of age and was one of the earliest
settlers of the Bald Eagle valley. All
his long life he followed the honorable
occupation of a farmer and enjoyed the
thorough esteem ot all who knew him,
His first marriage, in 1829, to a Miss
Boyles was blessed with . two children,
James now in Kansas, and Mrs. Mas-
sey Richards, of Erie. In 1847 he mar-
ried Miss Patience Williams and one
son, H. M. Stuart, now at home, blessed
this latter union. Deceased had been a
member of the Baptist church for more
than a half century. And his widow,
now in her 82nd year, with his sons and
daughter mourn his death. County
Treasurer John Q Miles is a nephew.
Funeral services were held on Wed-
nesday.
A BoArD oF HEALTH For BELLE-
FONTE.—At a regular meeting of Coun-
cil on Monday evening, the regular
business being transacted, president
Potter called attention to the fact that

necessary for the appointment of a
Board of Health for the town. The
act was read and the names of Drs.
Geo. H. Harris, J. Li. Seibert and R.
G. H. Hayes, Wilbur F. Reeder and Col.

cil ratified them and the gentlemen now
constitute a Board of Health for the
town, Their terms of office range from
five to one year and two are from the
North, two from the South and one
from the West ward.
The only other business of importance
considered was regarding the street
lighting question. The: contract ex-
pires on the 10th inst and Supt. Kitson,
of the Edison Co., asked for a new con-
tract, which council did not feel justified
in signing just as that time, since it was
said that the chairman of the Street
committee had begun negotiations with
a firm to supply better lighting at a
cheaper rate. Just what they
were was not known because of his ab-
sence. Upon motion the present con-
tract was exiended one year from the
date of its expiration.
