Suppexy Dear oF Two WELL
Knows MeN.—Tuesday was a day of
strange fatality for Bellefonie. Two
men, each well known and respected in
the sphere he filled, died within as
many hours of each other, and both of
them so suddenly that when the news
was heralded on the streets the invaria-
ble exclamation that came to the lips of
the shocked hearer was “Why I didn’t
even know he had been iil.”
JOHN MORGAN.
Precisely at noon the unconscious
form of John Morgan, of east Howard
street, gave up its soul to heaven. He
had been suffering since the preceding
Friday with a stroke of paralysis. The
evening of that day he was stricken,
while apparently enjoying the best of
health. He had been out fishing—a
favorite sport with him—during the
day and had no premonition of the im-
pending stroke which fell about dusk
and from which he never regained con-
sciousness,
John Morgan was born in 1820 and
was 65 years old. He came to Bellefonte
from Ireland in 1854. He was an indus-
trious man, his early thrift and prudence
enabling him to lead the latter years of
his life in retired ease. For nearly a
score of years he wus employed at the
Bellefonte Gas Co’s, works, He owned
several properties hereand was a man of
an unassuming, though thoroughly
friendly disposition. His wife died on
the 25th of last November, but two lov-
ing daughters, Mrs. R. L. Erhard, of St.
Mary’s, and Mrs, Benj. Shaffer, of this
place, tenderly administered to him dur-
ing his last illness. The only other
child, Mrs. Lutz, preceded both mother
ana father to the grave by a number of
years.
Funeral services were held yesterday
afternoon in St. John’s Episcopal
church of which he was a member.
DR. J. W. RHONE.
“In the midst of life we are in death”
—A most startling realization of thig
familiar scriptural passage was found in
the sudden death of Dr. J. W. Rhone,
which occurred at his home on North
Allegheny street, this place, shortly
before two o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Several years ago be slipped and fell
on the ice on a stone crossing near his
home, breaking his hip. The injury
never healed properly and he had been
a constant sufferer from the broken
member. It was necessary for him to
use crutches to get about, but even un-
der such affliction he continued his
practice of dentistry. He seemed to get
along nicely under the circumstances un-
til an attack of grip developed the fact
that he had heart affection, this troubled
him considerably, though not enough to
give alarm, Two weeks ago he went
to Philadelphia to consult Dr. Ashurst
as to the possibility of there being any-
thing done for his hip, which seemed to
be the cause of pains in all parts of his
body about that time, but the noted sur-
geon told him that it was only rheumat-
ic trouble and he returned to his work
here. On Sunday evening he was sit-
ting out on the tront porch of his home
and spoke of feeling pains like neural-
gia in his left shoulder. On Monday
he received his patients as usual and on
Tuesday morning did some work.
Shortly before dinner time Dr. Gao. F.
Harris, his physician, dropped in to see
him and they had a long chat. After
the noon day meal he was taking a little
rest, preparatory to seeing some ladies,
when suddenly he expired without a
moment’s warning.
Dr. Rhone was born in Penns.
valley, near the old Rhune home
stead just above Centre Hall, and
after studying dentistry located in
the latter place. After a short
term of practice there he moved to
Boalsburg and thence, in 1874, to Belle-
fonte. He has lived and worked here
ever since and for years was recognized
as the leading dentist in this section.
His widow, Caroline E. Rhone, is a sis:
ter of Col. D. S. Keller and she with a
son, Dr. Charles, and a daughter Ella,
who has lately graduated as a trained
nurse, are bereaved of a devoted hus-
band and father.
' Daceased was 61 yoars of age. His
interment will be make this morning at
10 o’clock.
DAVID WISE.
On Thursday, April 26th, Mr. David
Wise, who lives about a mile from Zion
had been to that town on business and
when on his return home the young
horse he was riding shied at a dog that
ran out along the road. Mr, Wise was
thrown off and sustained injuries that
rendered him unconscious, though they
were not supposed to bave been serious.
On Monday afternoon of this week he
died. His death being a great shock to
the community in which he had lived
an honored life.
His sixty-five years was an age too ad-
vanced for a shock such as he had re-
ceived and dropsy set in, finally ending
his life. Ever since he had been hurt
he was compelled to sit upright in a
chair and on Monday, shortly after be-
ing given a drink of water, he expired.
Deceased was born in Haines town-
ship, shortly after moving with his
parents into Sugar valley. In 1860 he
married Elizabeth Gephart and soon
a fter moved onto the Gephart farm at
Zion. His widow, two sons, Irvin and
Milton and Mrs. J. J. Lohr, a daugh- |
ter, mourn his demise. Burial was
made in the union cemetery, at Zion
yesterday morning.
He was a member of the Evangelical
church, a man without an enemy.

of the best known and kindest hearted
hotel men in the State.
——About three hundred enthusiasts
saw the Cuban Giants, the noted col-
ored ball players, defeat the State
College team at Hunter's park, Wed-
nesday afternoon. The game was very
interesting and the collegians would
have won bad not the Giants pounded

——A fully matured male infant
weighing nine pounds was found in a
cesspool in the rear of J. B. Winisky’g
house, in Tyrone, on Sunday morning.
Winisky is a new residant in Tyrone
and suspicion has caused a watch to be
placed over him. He told conflicting
stories about how the child was first dis-
covered. Coroner Poet’s inquest reveal-
ed the physicians statement that the
child had been born alive and either
strangled or smothered to death after-
wards. An effort is being made to find
the mother.
——After having a tooth pulled
Joseph Rightenour, a brother-in-law of
W. Galer Morrison, fell into a stupor
from which it was feared he would not
recover. In order to relieve any possi-
ble pain he had had the dentist put co-
coaine on the gums before the tooth was
extracted and immediately after the
operation Joe began to act like a man
under the influence of liquor. He grew
worse until about 6 o'clock when a doc-
tor was called and his case pronounced
one of cocoaine poisoning. The proper
remedies were administered and he was
all right in a short timo.
——A letter from our old friend Abel
Campbell, a former resident of this
county, who lives at Austin, Potter
county, informs us that he has been
laid up with rheumatism for some time.
His home is a veritable hospitable
as Mrs. Campbell has been dan-
gerously ill with pneumonia and one of
his daughters is afflicted with a felon on
her finger. We are sorry to learn of
their misfortunes, but trust all of the
sufferers will recover soon. Abel is
still the good old Democrat he used to
be and writes that while they have nice
warm days up there, there is a frost
usually every night, and that Republi-
cans blame it all on Cleveland.
A FINE GAME oF BALL.—The Penn-
gylvania State College ball team defeat-
ed the Dickinson College club, from
Carlisle, on Beaver field, at State Col-
lege last Saturday afternoon in one of
the prettiest games that has ever been
seen at State College. The grounds,
the weather, and the players were in
excellent condition and everything
seemed gilt edged.
The home team was stinging under
the many criticisms that had been
heaped upon it and manager Swartz
sent his men onto the diamond with an
order to win, if it were possible. The
men started in to play from the moment
the game was called and snappy field-
ing, coupled with the invincible and bat-
tery work of Mattern and Stuart, soon
gave the visitors the knowledge that
they were out-classed. They played a
good game, but it would not win against
the superior all around work of State’s
team.

A SErIoUS RUN OFF.—An sccident
in which one man narrowly escaped
losing his life and two others serious in-
juries occurred at the red bridge that
crosses Spring creek at the foot of Lamb
street, on Monday morning.
The delivery wagon for H. A.
McKee & Bro’s hardware store was
driving west over the bridge, when near
the end a double team was met, driven
by a W. S. Port; for some reason the
horses took fright and started to run
away. The heavy team and wagon
ran right onto the McKee horse and a
wreck followed. McKee’s horse was
knocked down, the driver, Wm. Thomas
colored, was thrown out and Mr. H. A.
McKee, who had been in the wagon,
was dumped out also. Thea the Port
horses fell down making an almost in-
extricable mass of men, horses and wa-
gons. Mr. McKee was the only one
who escaped serious injury. A horse
fell on Thomas hurting him badly on
the hips and side, and Mr. Port was run
over by his own wagon sustaining
severe cuts and bruises, besides three
broken ribs.
SAVE YOUR FLOWERS FOR MEMORIAL
DAY. —Wednesday, May 30th, will be
the day on which we will honor the
heroic dead of this community. The
Grand Army veterans will have the
ceremonies in charge and the usual
memorial day program will be carried
out.
The success of this, annual tribute to
those defenders of the Republic whose
memories we revere depends largely on
the ladies and children of the town. It
is from them that the old soldiers expect
the work of gathering flowers and gar-
lands for the graves. This year. the
work will be a little more difficult than
usual because flowers are said to be
scarce, yet we hope when the morning
of the 30th., dawns there will be a lavish
deposit of nature’s beauties at the Post
rooms on High street.
Everyone is requested to give some,
however small your offering may be it
will be appreciated. A committee ¢.’
ladies will be in the post rooms to re-
ceive the flowers and it is earnestly
hoped that all will make some effort to
properly manifest their feeling.
SEVENTEEN Cows POISONED. —
When W. W. Austin, a Tyrone dairy
man, went to his stables last Friday
morning he found one of his cows in
great misery. She was apparently suf-
fering from a dose of poison. Mr. Aus-
tin administered all the remedies known
to him, but in spite of his efforts to save
the cow’s life it died and then he no-
ticed that the whole herd was suffering
with the same symptoms. One after
another they tumbled over until eleven
valuable cows were lying dead in the
stable and six others were so sick that
though they survived the poison they
have not given any milk since.
Mr. Austin had twenty-six cows, five
head of young cattle, six horses and as
many hogs, but only the cows in one
end of the stable were poisoned, the
others having escaped the deadly feed of
some heartless wretch. It is believed
that some one entered the stable and
spread the poison, having been fright-
ened off before he had succeeded in giv-
ing all the stock the deadly dose.
HE WiLL GET A HEAVY SENTENCE
SURE.—Thomas Meyers, the oldest of
the gang of Philipsburg robbers who
were left go under a suspended sentence,
after having plead guilty to mauy bur-
glaries in and about Philipsburg, at the
last term of court, has been rearrested
and is now in jail here awaiting trial for
breaking open and stealing beer from
Ashcroft’s ware house.
If convicted it will be very apt to go
hard with Meyers, for the court will be
compelled to sentence him on all the
counts to which he plead guilty at the
last term. Meyers was on a parole of
good bebavior, buat it did not take him
long to end it.

Toe Beaver Lumser Co's MILL
BurNED.—The great forest fires that
were raging on the Allegheny moun-
tains during the latter part of last week
swept down over the vicinity of Beaver
| Mills on Sanday afternoon and it was
- with the greatest difficulty that the resi-
Reynolds bank building, is the place to | dents of that little mountain village
get furniture that is new and stylish at | saved their homes from destruction.
The fire had been burning fiercely dur-
| ing the latter days of the week and was
: gathering fury with every moment.
Those accustomed to watch burning for-
ests with an interest in which their
property is involved knew that nothing
short of a rain would stop its blacken-
ing course. On Sunday the high wind
carried the flames across the great clear-
ing surrounding the portable mill of
the Beaver Lumber Co., and it was but
a few moments until the plant was in
ashes! It was valued at $1000. The plant
was burned just about this time last year.
Fortunately the lumber and shingles,
just as fast as they were sawed, were
taken away from the mill and there was
nothing of that sort to burn.
The mill was owned by John Ardell
Jr., of this place.
