THE DEATH oF SAMUEL NOLL, SR.——
A well known man died at his home at
Pleasant Gap on Tuesday evening short-
ly after six o'clock. It was Samuel
Noll Sr., who began the life of a hus-
bandman in this county as early as 1827.
He was born at Sheridan station, in
Lebanon county, Dec. 11th, 1807, and is
survived by five children, his wife hav-
ing died thirty years ago. They are
W. H., and Samuel. of Pleasant Gap ;
John, of Bellefonte ; Susan, who kept
house for her father, and Mrs. Lizzie
Stine, who lives in Oklahoma.
Deceased was a member of the Re-
formed church and a man who com-
manded the admiration of all who came
in contact with him. He was straight
forward in business, kind in his domes-
tic and social relations, and through the
long years of his life had been a man
who had many friends.
Interment was made at Zion yester-
day morning at 10 o'clock.
Prine RESIDES.--At the advanced
age of 85 years Philip Resides died
at his home near Fillmore, on Monday
night. Deceased had been in ill health
forsome time and his many years of
life had left him little vitality to with-
stand the ravages of disease. He was a
good citizen, a kind neighbor and a man
who enjoyed the esteem of a large circle
of friends. Surviving are : Charles, of
Osceola ; John, of Sandy Ridge; Wil-
liam, of Bellefonte ; Henry, on the
homestead near Fillmore : Mrs. Samuel
Barr, of Bellefonte ; Mrs. Wm. Sellers,
of Oak Hall ; and Mrs. Treaster, Mrs.
Sowers and Mrs. Stone, of near Fill-
more.

evening 1n the Union cemetery in this
place.

wife of Robert Glenn, of Benner town-
ship, occurred on Monday morning at

her 60th year and was a woman much
beloved by all who knew her. Her
funeral was held Wednesday morning
at 10 o'clock.
In the death of Catherine B.
Gates, which occurred at her home, in
Spring township, on Monday afternoon,
Bellefonte lost one of its oldest resi-
dents. Deceased was 79 years of age
and was a consistent member of the
Lutheran church. An invalid husband,
92 years old, and four children survive
to mourn her death. Funeral services
were held Wednesday morning.
A Sap DrowNING CasE.—Two child-
ren of David Raybould, of North Phil-
ipsburg, were drown in a pool near
Black Bear switch on Tuesday evening.
It appears that their mother had gone
to Emyire mines to see a friend, and
three of her children went to meet ber
on her return. When they reached
Black Bear switch their attention was
drawn to some water lilies in the lake
near by. Albert, aged 6 years, walked
down to the edge of the lake to gather
some of the lilies, and reaching after
one lost his balance and tell into the
water. Alice, aged 8 years, attempted
to rescue her brother and was pulled in-
to the water and both were drowned be-
fore help could be secured. The little
4 year old sister, who stood on the rail-
road adjoining, taking in the situation,
hurriedly ran home to tell what had
happened. It was not long until a
number of persons reached the lake, and
after considerable searching, the bodies
were found, cold in death, embraced in
each others arms. ?

WHERE THE VETERANS WILL BE
QUARTERED. — Already the veterans
are preparing for their anticipated trip
to Pittsburg next month and the Centre
county posts are not going to be left
either for want of comfortable quarters.
They have been assigned rooms C and
D in the Highland avenue :public
where everything will be furnished for
comfortable living except blankets
which each veteran ought to take for
himself.
The delegation from here will leave
on the morning of the 10th and go
straight to East Liberty, the nearest
station to the quarters that have been
assigned. From that point three street
car linesrun into the heart of the city
and only five cents fare is charged.
Good meals can be procured near the
quarters at reasonable rates, the ar-
rangements having been made whereby
a substantial breakfast can be had for
fifteen cents.
It is the desire that everyone who can
should go, as it will be one of the larg-
est gatherings of veterans that has ever
taken place.
STRIKERS STARVED INTO TERMS.-—-
The men in the Clearfield coal region
have actually been starved into accept-
ing the operators, terms. No more
striking illustration of this fact can be
given than a circumstance related by
Sheriff Cardon, of Clearfield county.
The sheriff said in conversation that
while serving notices of enjectment on
some tenants in one of the mining towns
in this county he ran across three purely
American families with from three to
gix children each, who were eating their
noon-day meal when he entered their
nomes, and he was dumbfounded to
see nothing but bread and water on the
table.
The sheriff said it touched his heart
to see these little children compelled to
subsist on that fare, more so because
they were Americans, and he generously
gave the three families all the loose
change he had, which was about five
dollars. 1t will be readily seen in what
condition the miners and their families
are in by the above,
CoUNCIL MEETING.--At the meeting
of Town council on Monday evening
the street committee was instructed to
give the grade for the putting down of a
stone gutter at the Lutheran church.
Dr. T. R. Hayes asked for a rebate on
water tax on account of his being absent
four months in the year. Frank P.
Blair was present and objected to the
raising of his water tax for motor from
two to five dollars per year.
A communication was received from
the Pennsylvania railroad company
asking council to join with them in
the paving of High street, near the rail-
road, with vitrified brick.
McCalmont & Co. protested against
being assessed twenty dollars for the @se
of water for mechanical purposes, al-
leging that it was too high for the
amount of water used, but expressed a
willingness to pay ten dollars a year.
The Water committee reported a num-
ber of leaks repaired ; also repairs made
to boiler at water works. The com-
mittee also reported water contracts
now being made with persons using
water for mechanical purposes, and in
most instances the contracts have baen
signed.
The dangerous condition of the board-
walk along the Episcopal church on
Lamb street, and on Howard street in
front of Governor Curtin’s property, was
called to the attention of the street com-
mittee.
The Market committee reported $15.10
market fees collected. The Finance
committee reported balance due treasur-
er of $8,141,15.
A Svick WAY oF TRADING HoRsEs.
—Two sharpers worked what the Lewis-
town Free Press calls a well put up
game on Farmer John Wray, of Deca-
tur township. Mr. Wray was induced
to trade horses with a stranger, and in a
couple of days stranger No. 2 appeared
with stranger No. 1, a poster describing
the horse in Wray’s possession, and a
pair of handcuffs in his charge, repre-
senting himself as a detective from
Pittsburg, deputized by the sheriff of
Allegheny county to arrest the man he
had in charge for stealing said horse.
He took the animal from Wray, hand-
cuffed the other fellow and going to
Painterville put the horse in the keep-
ing of Samuel Sigler, saying it would
be called for by the owner. Before
leaving, Wray asked tor his own horse
and the ‘“‘detective” told him quietly
that he would get out of his ‘prisoner’
where the animal was and write him’
Wray informed bis father and the two
went in pursuit, arriving at Painter-
ville just as the S. & L. train pulled out
with the two frauds on board. The
Wrays drove to Lowistown and a writ
of replevin was issued which gave the
horse into the possession of Sheriff Blett.
The sheriff of Allegheny county was
communiciated with, who promptly re
plied that no such person had been de-
putized. Mr. Wray, we presume, has
neither horse now in his possession.
FosTER’S LATEST ON THE WEATHER.
—My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave to cross the continent from
Aug. 4 to 8, and the next will reach the
Pacific coast about the 9th, cross the
western mountains by close of 10th, the
great central valleys from 11th to 13th,
and the eastern states about the 14th.
While & general deficiency of rain is
expected in August, this storm wave
and the one following will give a few
showers of small extent. During drouth
periods the storm waves cross the coun-
try so far north that their effects are on-
ly seen in the high temperature waves.
The warm wave will cross the western
mountains about the 9th, the great cen-
tral valleys about the 11th, and the east-
ern states about the 13th. The cool
wave will cross the western mountains
about the 12th, the great central valleys
about the 14th and the eastern states
about the 16th. The drouth will do
most damage during the first and last
week 1n August, and more rain will fall
during the ten days, 11th to 20h, in-
clusive.
SuzeP ARE DYING. —A dispatch from
West Grove, Chester county, Pa., says :
Forty sheep of fine breed have died in
this vicinity within a few weeks, and
the farmers are alarmed. Three veteri-
nary surgeons, Presson of Philadelphia;
Conrad, of this place, and Entriken, of
Kennet Square, have made an investiga-
tion, and revealed a startling disease.
They found that a species of worm crept
up the noses of the sheep while they
were eating grass and then entered the
brain of the animals. An effort is mak-
ing to find a remedy for the malady.
The affliction has very seldom been
heard of in this country.
Amp For Minn Hain.—Mr. J. T.
Humbler, a number of the Borough

A Narrow Escapre.—Last Satarday
David Kinley, of Lock Haven, employ-
ed as a brakeman on the Lewisburg and
Tyrone railroad, while riding on a car
at Coburn Station, preparatory to muk-
ing a coupling, lost his balance, fell on
the track below, and was rolled over
the ties by the brake rigginz. When
the car stopped his head was between
his legs. He was taken from under the
car and a physician summoned, who

Route oF THE CENTRAL R. R. oF
PeENNA.—The country traversed by this
road, as well as the Sugar Valley route,
is being written up in pamphlet form
by Mr. I. H. Mauser, of Williamsport,
an ex-editor and now engaged in teach-
ing having been for the past year princi-
pal of one of the most important public
school buildings in the city. He has
had considerable experience in writing
local history and description. The
present work is a convenient and agree-
able vacation past-time. His particu-
lar aim is to get it accurate and trust-
worthy. The history, industries, com-
mercial facilities and enterprises are
carefully written up and prepared in
such a way as to make the work very
handy for reference. The work will be
ready about the 25th of August and
will be distributed gratuitously for the
advertising. The care with which itis
prepared and the excellent mechanical
make up of tha book makes it a very
good medium.
