Many DeaTHS IN A WEEK.—The
great number of fatalities in this county,
that seems to have no sign of decreas.
ing, has been the source of much specu-
lation of late. Well known people are
dropping off continually, but the world
keeps on. There is always some one to
take their places in everything except
the hearts of their families.
On Wednesday of last week Mrs.
Jonathan Riggleman, of Martha Fur-
nace, was called from her earthly tene-
ment to an eternal haven in the skies.
She was fifty-three years old and leaves
a husband, two sons and two daughters
to mourn her death. Deceased had been
a sufferer with inflammatory rheumatism
for years and her death was a release
from almost & quarter of a century of
suffering.
The death of Thomas Jackson oc-
curred at his home on south Allegheny
street, this place, at an early hour last
Friday morning. He had been ill for
some time as the result of a stroke of
paralysis received last summer and from
which he never recovered. Deceased
was a cutter and fitter by trade and was
head of the tailoring department of the
Bee Hive stores when they flourished
under the management of J. R. New-
man, Jos. Bauland and the Goldsmiths.
When the latter firm moved to Scran-
{ton Mr. Jackson assumed charge of the
custom department of Lewin’s clothing
store and has been attached thereto ever
since. He was a man of fine appearance,
pleasant disposition, and sought the
comforts of a happy home more than
the associations of men.
Deceased was about 67 years old and
leaves a widow with two grown children
to mourn hisdeath. Funeral services
were held Sunday afterncon. Rev.
‘Wright, of St. John’s Episcopal church,
officiating.
Heart failure caused the death of
Isaac Gingher, of Milesburg, last Sat-
urday morning. He was in his 75th
year and leaves a widow with seven
sons and three daughters. His inter-
ment was made on Tuesday morning.
Rev. Geo. Zehner, officiating.
A sudden death in Boggs township,
on Saturday, was that of Hiram Woods.
Deceased was a member of the Central
Messiah church and burial was made by
Rev. J. Zeigler on Monday.
Joseph B. Kunes a highly respect-
ed resident of Eagleville, died last F'ri-
day morning with consumption. De-
ceased was about fifty-eight years old
and leaves a widow to mourn his death.
John Hayes Esq. of Mifflinburg,
died suddenly of pneumonia at Free-
port, Ill.,, on Wednesday. He left the
home of his son, Dr. R G. H. Hayes in
this place, just a week previous, to make
a short western tour, apparently in the
best of health and his sudden death is
a great shock to friends here. The re-
mains will be brought here this morning
and taken on to Miflinburg for burial
in the afternoon.
The strok® of paralysis suffered by
Mr. John Potter Moore, of Lemont, last
Saturday terminated, on Tuesday morn-
ing, in his death. Deceased was G3 years
of age and previous to this Spring had
lived on his farm near Centre Furnace.
He had been a life long member of the
Presbyterian church and enjoyed the
confidence of a wide circle of friends
who will be grieved to hear of his death.
Seven grown children, with the mother,
survive, Mrs. Jas. D. McKee, of this
place, and Mrs. Geo. R. Mock, of Phil-
ipsburg, are daughters. Interment was
made at the Branch cemetery yesterday
afternoon.
NorLs STORE AT Z1oN RoBBED —Be-
tween twelve and one o'clock Sunday
morning the general merchandise store
of B. A. Noll & Co, at Zion, was broken
into and a quantity of plunder car-
ried off.
An entrance was effected by forcing
the front door above and below the lock
and once inside the robbers proceeded to
help themselves to shoes, underwear,
clothing and everything needful to fit a
man out new. A customer’s basket, that
had been left in the store over Sunday,
was taken and filled up with groceries
and canned goods so that after clothing
themselves the burglars must have made
up their minds to have something goed
to eat. :
It is thought that they were scared off
before they had finished their work for
a number of burned matches were lying
about the safe, and though they had
taken about $5.00 in small change from
one money drawer, the post-office re-
ceipts, in the rear of the room, were un-
touched.
The attendants of David Sharer, who is
sick and lives just across the street from
the store, heard the door crash when it
was forced, and saw a man striking
matches inside the store, but thinking it
was Boyd Noll paid no attention to it,
——A recent issue of the Elmira
Journal was devoted to Central Penn-
sylvania. Many prominent Bellefonters
were the subjects of biographical sketches
and The Pennsylvania State College was
given an entire page.
— Lock Havens Y. M. C. A. is
fifty years old.
—— West Clearfield has seven cases
of scarlet fever.
——Forepaugh’s circus will exhibit
in Lock Haven on June 18th.
——The flood last week was three feet
higher at Beech Creek than it was in
1889.
——There are still a few seats lett for
the opera to-night. You can get them
at Parrish’s.
——Frank Naginey is a competent
funeral director. His equipment is
modern and prices reasonable.
——Some goods seats for the opera
¢‘Paul Jones” are still to be had at Par-
rish’s. Get them soon for they are go-
ing fast.
——— During the weck ending May 12th
the tonnage of the Tyrone and Clear-
field division of the P. R. R. amounted
to only 512 tons.
——— Work has begun on the construc-
tion of the electric street rail-way that is
to connect Lock Hayen with Mill Hall
and the terminus of the Central rail-
road of Penna.
——P. B. Crider & Son’s saw mill,at
Lamar,was burned to the ground Tues-
day night. The fire was of unknown
origin and entailed a loss of $5,000 on
which there was $2,500 insurance.
——The Board of Pardons has rec-
ommended the discharge of Wm. B.
Hamilton, the Houtzdale bank clerk,
now serving a five years sentence in the
western penitentiary for embezzle-
ment.
——Naginey’s furniture store is at-
tracting attention just now. The large
building in which it is located cracked
and it was thought would fall down,
but it didn’t. The only thing that fell
was the prices on all kinds of furni-
ture.
——Early Monday morning Tyrone
had a fire that destroyed $11,000 worth
of property. A three story brick build-
ing owned by Geo. W. Port, Berlin’s
store, and the furnitare of Mrs. E. L.
Miller and Clyde Lever, who lived
above the store, were consumed. The
fire was of incendiary origin. All were
insured except Lever.
——A little colored boy, who had fal.
len into Spring creek from the railroad
trestle above the passenger station, on
Tuesday evening, was saved from drown-
ing by the heroism of Claire Saylor, a
young lady compositor in the Daily
News office. She was passing at the
time, and fearlessly waded into the deep
water and dragged the child out. He
was unconscious for some time.
——A peculiar occurrence interested
the residents of Spring Mills and vicini-
ty during the recent big rains. It was
the remarkable performance of an old
well on the Woods property, one mile
west of that town. The well is about
6 ft. in diameter and 54 ft. deep, and
Saturday, night, May 19th, it began
spouting. From that time until the fol-
lowing Monday a volume of water as
large as the opening of the well belched
forth to a heighth of four feet. It wasa
veritable geyser. The overflow was
possibly caused by the swollen condi-
tion of the subterranean channels that
feed the well, though half the water
was clear and the other half was muddy,
indicating that it was being fed from two
different sources.
SumMER—ALA Rev, Hicks. —¢“Rev.
Irl Hicks, the weather prophet, makes
the following predictions for the coming
summer, in his paper, Word and Works:
We believe that May and June will be
propitious for agricultural interests, to
all who will make good use of their up-
portunities. Let crops be planted with
all the haste consistent with thorough
preparation, and let the early stages of
cultivation be as rapid and perfect as
possible. With a clean, pulverous con-
dition of the soil, as a general thing there
will be ample moisture in June to start
and even mature crops, especially the
early crops in all the southern parts of
our country. The Venus equinox in
July is favorable for rains of more or
less frequency, even in that month, so
that all crops that can be brought to
maturity by August may, we think, be
counted on with much assurance. We
fear that the ‘‘hot winds” and much
lack of general rains will work greatly
against farmers who are caught with
crops whose success depends upon good
seasonable conditions after the middle of
July. Crops that cannot be matured so
early should, by all means, be given un-
ceasing cultivation. A perfectly clean
thoroughly pulverized soil is almost ab-
solute proof against the inroads of
drought, for even weeks and months.
Prepare for the worst then you will not
only be ready should it come, but if the
worst does not, you will be prepared for
the benefits of the best. I'he care and
preparation wa insist upon are on the
side of common sense and the most trust-
worthy experience.’

DECORATION DAY IN BELLEFONTE. —
Rain, the invariable despoiler of all at-
temp's to make May 30:h a fitting me-
morial of our heroic dead, succeeded in
casting a gloom over the ceremonies
here on Wednesday. Gregg post had an
interesting program ready for enaction,
but the elements were not favorable and
the whole was rushed through with a
haste that stripped it of much of its
beauty. :
The usual parade was formed in the
Diamond at 2 o'clock and moved direct-
ly to the cemetery. Gen. Hastings and
Rev. Charles M. Stock, the orator of
theday, occupied a carriage at the head
of the parade, then came the Bellefonte
band, Gregg post No. 95 G. A. R., chil-
dren bearing flowers, Co. B, 65th Reg
N. G. P., the Coleville band, Camps
339 and 447 P.O. 8S. of A and Castle
357 K. G. KE. in order mentioned. When
the cemetery was reached the graves of
deceased soldiers were decorated and the
parade returned and was dismissed.
Owing to the dampness the Memorial
address was delivered in the Court
House. Rev. Charles M. Stock, the
orator, is chaplain of Co. B. 5th Reg.
N. G. P. and his discourse was listened
to with more than usual interest, be-
cause of its appropriateness. He is an
orator of considerable ability and had
the tact, which so many lack under
similar circumstances, to realize that
polities have no place in Memorial day
orations. :
Appropelate celebrations of the day
were held at all points in the country,
but the rain interfered materially with
their success. We gave a list of the
orators at the different places im last
week's issue. :

stomach. She was seventy years old
and had been sick for some time; but
neither disease nor years had clouded

tellect, hef husband, four daughters and
two sons are living.

THE REVIVAL oF TRADE.—The fol-
lowing little clipping from one of our
exchanges will give our readers an idea
ofthe present condition of business so far
as it affects the railroads, and they are
the best pulse to feel whe: we want to
estimate the business circulation.
“Apropos of the mooted question,
‘“Are times picking up ?’’ here is a
straw—a little one it is true, but a straw
all the same. There is & mun in Roch-
ester, N. Y. who has a monopoly of a
queer but very profitable business. He
makes the little leaden seals which are
used by the railroad operatives to fasten
the doors of full-loaded cars. These
seals are sold to every railroad in this
country and also in Canada, Mexico
and South America. ‘Months before
the hard times set in,”’ he says, “I no-
ticed a falling off in the demand for my
seals. The sales went down and down
until they reached the lowest point ever
known. That was about three months
ago. Then there was an upward turn,
and now the demand is increasing eo
much that I expect by July to be selling
as many as ever. This means that the
business of the railways is picking up,
and it is sign enough to satisfy me.”
The Altoona railroad shops, which
have been working ‘three days of eight
hours each week, will hereafier run six
days of ten hours each week.
Altoona Tribune: The last ot the
long string of engines which has been
standing on the tracks in front of the
company shops and round house, were
fired up and put into service on the road
yesterday by reason of the large increase
in freight traffic.”
THE BAND CoNCERT.—It is really
too bad that a larger house did not greet
the Bellefonte band and Meyer's orches-
tra at their concert Wednesday night,
but the disagreeable weather had much
to do with keeping the attendance
down. The entertainment merited a
packed bouse, but instead it was enjoy-
ed by only half that.
The appreciation marked in the ap-
plause that followed almost every num-
ber must surely have been gratifying to
the projectors of the concert. The es-
pecially good numbers were Mr. W. H.
Culveyhouse’s cornet solo, ‘‘Moon-
beams polka,” composed for the concert
by Mr. W. T. Meyer; the recitation,
by Miss Maggie Teats, the vocal solos
by Messrs. Lowell T. Meyer. Lee B.
Woodcock and P. Durbin Waddie, and
the band’s rendition of “La Diadem.”
Prof. Doolittle’s funnygraph delight-
ed theraudience and the farce ¢‘ Musical
Mopes’’ struck the funny chord. Both
the band and orchestra selections were
well rendered and proved a decided sur-
prise to the many who did no anticipate
such a skillful interpretation of high
class music as was given.

tor of a South Dakota journal, but he is now

Keer a JUMPIN. —The following
salient advice to business men we find
in an exchange and take the liberty of
republishing it for the benefit of our
readers. ;
“The storekesper who expects to do
much business in 1894 must practice the
lesson taught in the following story :
“Tw. frogs found themselves in a pail
of milk and they could not jump - out.
One of them was for giving up and said
to the other, ‘God bye ; I sink, I die.’
Said bis mate, ‘Brace up, you duffar!
Keep a jumpin and see what turns up.’
So they kept jumping up and down all
night and by morning had so churned
the milk that it turned to butter, and
they jumped off the butter to the
ground.” :
“Applied to business the fable means
this : If you want the business of 1894
to exceed that of 1893, ‘keep a jumpin’.’
Don’t ery, ‘Isink, I die!” The mer-
chant who continues looking for bad
times will not survive to see good times.
The man who keeps a jumpin’ will see
good times first. Carry a level head,
buy standard goods and keep a clean
stock, an attractive store and advertise
with bright, attractive advertisements’.
A Goop ONE.—The Daily News tells
the following good story on some one :
On Wednesday evening, May 19th, a
young man of Fillmore arrayed himself
in his best Sunday-go-to-meeting bib
and tucker and hied himself away to
the home of his sweetheart, which, by
the way, was on the opposite side of
Buffalo Run creek. Never dreaming of
the flood, the young man remained pretty
late, or rather quite early Sunday morn-
ing, and when he departed for home
and came to the creek, he could not
cross, the waters bad risen so high. In
his distress he aroused a gentleman
friend and took refuge with him, being
compelled to remain until Sunday eve-
ning before he could get passage across
the raging waters. Next time he goes
the young man should take a boat
along.
Nort so Bap As THOUGHT TO BE.—
Later and more conservative estimates
place the loss to Williamsport lumber-
men far below that sent out before the
raging waters had subsided. The Wil-
liamsport Sun says : Lumbermen now
estimate that about 40,000,000 feet of
logs will reach the bay. The strong
wind of yesterday is supposed to have
sheered a large number of logs on the
north shore of the river between here
and Harrisburg. About 25,000,000 feet
of logs are lodged on Canfield’s island.
The lumbermen’s exchange will prepare
to saw the logs at Havre de Grace and
will take Williamsport workmen with
them to do the work.
——Mr. John D. Speer, a successful
business man and a prominent Methodist
of Chambersburg, died as his home,
last Thursday, after a long illness. He
was 6] years old and a brother of our
townsman William T. Speer and on his
visits to Bellefonte was liked much for
his affable, courteous, manner and his
genial disposition.
——Do you know, there are no tailor-
ing establishment that come anyways,
near us in the price, quality and fit of
our made to order suits at $15.00.
$18.00 and $20.00. We can prove
this to you—without a shadow of mis-
representation, in a very satisfactory
way. We can count a very small num-
ber of tailors—in Pennsylvania —who
advertise any—all wool—uew goods—
below $20.00. We begin these suits at
$15.00 up to $20.00. Our stuck of ready
made cicthing is on the top notch of
perfection in price and fit. See our “all
wool” “suits for men at $7.50.
