A VENERABLE BANK PRESIDENT
DEAD.—The death of Edward C. Humes
Esq., which occurred at his home in this
place yesterday morning about five
o’clock, removes a man whose name has
been connected with the business inter-
ests of Bellefonte from the very begin-
ning of the century. Though he had at-
tained the advanced age of 84 years his
death was quite unexpected as he bad
been seen on the streets as late as the |
12th inst., erect and to all appearances
in his usual health.
His iliness dates back, about a year,
to a time when he was dangerously ill
with grip. He survived that attack,
however, and though never as well since
as he was previous to it his remarkable
vitality encouraged the hope that he
would live much longer. On the 12th of
this mo nth he visited the First National
bank for the last time, having been con-
fined to the house since then until his
death. His latest trouble seems to have
been caused by a congestion of mem-
branes of his throat and nose, which ren-
dered it impossible for him to take any
nourishment whatever and Wednesday,
when he was no longer able to throw
off the accumulating phlegm, the physi-
cians in attendance knew that the end
was not far off.
Edward C. Humes was born in Belle-
fonte, August 23rd, 1810. He was a
son of Hamilton Humes and Ann
Elmira Bailey, both of whom were
originally from Lancaster county. His
father baving been appointed postmaster
here by Postmaster General Return J.
Meigs, under President Monroe, young
Humes was sent to the Academy to gain
an education, later he entered Dickinson
college from which he was graduated in
1829. After clerking for his father a
short time they became associated in the
mercantile business under the firm name
of H. Humes & Son. Later his father
retired and the firm became KE. C.
Humes & Bro. He prospered in this
business until 1856, when in connec-
tion with the late ex-Governor Curtin,
H. N. McAllister and James E. Hale
he organized the private banking house
of Humes, McAllister, Hale & Co.
June 8, 1864, they merged their bank
into a National institution of which Mr.
Humes was president until the time of
his death. He is said to have been the
oldest National bank president in the
United States. Besides this interest he
owned a number of farms in this coun-
ty, was a large stockholder in the busi-
ness of Hoover, Hughes & Co., of Phil-
ipsburg ; in the Curwensville Lumber
Co. and wasa director in the Blair
county bank at Tyrone and of the Cen-
tre county bank of this place.
December 7, 1843, he married Mis
Lucy Alexander, a neice of Mrs. W. W.
Potter, their union having been blessed
with three children two of whom, Wil-
liam and MMiss Miley, survive and live
at ho me. Hamilton, the other son died
three years ago und Mrs. Humes died
about nine years ago. He was the old-
est of a family of five children all of
whom are dead. His wife was a descen -
dant of Mary Winters the first settler of
Williamsport and to whose home Dan-
iel Boone, “the original Kentuckian”
once made a memorable visit. Hamil-
ton Humes, his father, was interested in
many of the early industries of this
place and built a paper mill here which
manufactured the paper upon which the
old Centre Democrat was printed for
many years.
Of Mr. Humes’ life nothing discredi-
table has ever been said. He was a man
whose close attention to business made
him almost a stranger in social and po-
litical spheres, though in politics he took
a little interest, having been a delegate
to the State convention that nominat-
ed Delamater over Gov. Hastings. His
principal enjoyment was in matters
spiritual and in the Presbyterian church,
of whici: he was a lifelong member, he
was recognized as a man of great probi-
ty and earnestness. He was never given
to self laudation and only his most in-
timate acquaintances knew of his many
kindnesses to those in need of his help-
ing band. He will be sadly missed in
Bellefonte by the many beneficiaries of
his bounty and the simple perfectness of
his straightforward life will keep his
memory bright in the hearts of those
who knew him.
Funeral services will be held Monday
afternoon at 8 o’clock, at the house.

——Lyon & Co’s., mammoth store in
this place 1s crowded every day with
people who are wise enough to take ad.
vantage of the great sacrifice sale now
advertised by that firm.
Orr For NEW York.—Miss R. Gra-
ham departed for New York City, on
Monday morning, and as usual her ob-
ject is to select a line of spring millinery
for her store on Allegheny street. The
taste she has displayed in buying hats
and bonets has made her store very
popular with the trade in the past and
there is every reason to believe that her
stock for this spring will be even more
desirable than in past seasons.
CoUNCIL IN SPECIAL SESSION.—An
adjourned meeting of Council was held
Monday evening, for the purpose of
opening bids for building the abutments
for the new iron bridge that is to span
Spring creek at the foot of Lamb street.
As that was the principal business for
which the meeting was called it was
taken up at once. The bids were found
to be as follows:
John Noll--$6,00 per cubic yard for
sandstone facing and $5,50 for all lime-
stone; a total of $941.85 for the former
and $863.00 for the latter.
R. McCafferty & Sons—$583.00 for
sand stone facing, and $518.00 for all
limestone.
James McCafferty—$4.40 per cubic
yard for Curwensville sandstone and
$3.82 for all limestone.
John M. Emerick and Samuel Thom-
a3—$4.50 for sandstone and $5.00 for
limestone per cubic yard.
James A. McDermot and Alexander
Fraser—$5.00 for sandstone and $4.50
for limestone.
H. D. Yerger & Sons -—$6.00 for sand-
stone and $4,50 for limestone.
Conrad Miller—$4.90 for sandstone
and $3.90 for limestone.
C. C. Bell—$1,489.00 for sandstone
and $1,195.00 for limestone, for the en-
tire abutments.
After a general discussion as to the reli-
ability of the several bidders the bid of
R, McCafferty and Sons was accepted, it
being lowest. It was then moved and
carried that if they do not file properly
accepted bonds before next Monday
night then the bid of James McCafferty,
next lowest, will be accepted. The
old bridge is now for sale and will be
awarded to the highest bidder.
The next business of importance that
was considered was deferred action on
Mr. J. S. Waite’s application for the
privilege of laying iron rails under the
street at the junction of High and Wat-
er streets, his object being to locate the
old band stand at that point tor the pur-
pose of converting it into a bicycle ware-
room. Ata meeting several weeks pre-
vious council had unthinkingly granted
the petition, but it was soon brought face
to face with the import of its action when
the Village Improvement Society pro-
tested. The society claimed that such a
privilege would result in the permanent
marring of the most picturesque street in
the town and they were right, for had
one man been permitted to erect a booth
along the creek it would only have been
a question of a very short time until
every foot of space along the board walk
would have been taken up with similar
unsightly structures.
The WATCHMAN was not opposed to
the plan because Mr, Waite was the
applicant, for it knows no man whouw it
would sooner favor. But when it comes
tosuéh a point that the good of the
whole body public is to be sacrificed for
the uncertain benefit one man is to reap
from it then we say no.
Upon motion of Mr. Brockerhoff Mr.
Hillibish was allowed to withdraw his
motion granting the privilege and then
Solicitor Dale informed council that
by a State act of 1796 Spring creek
had been declared a public highway to
the mouth of Logan’s branch and as
such council had no right to put any
obstructions whatever in its course.
This information will put 2 stop on the
matter forever and council will be saved
the bother of any more such cases,
Mr. Waite’s failure to realiza his wish
in the matter will undoubtedly be a
blessing to him, fornow he will remain
at his present desirable location where
he has the facilities for carrying on a
much larger business in conjunction
with his bicycle work. He has many
friends in the county who would have
been sorry to have seen him give up the
implement business altogether and we
sincerely trust his effort in that line will
meet with the reward they deserve.
The bit of information that Solicitor
Dale dropped into the councilmanic
camp Monday night, relating to the
State’s declaring Spring creek a public
high-way to the mouth of Logan’s
branch recalls a trick which the support-
ers of Bellefonte for the county seat
played on their rivals, who were push-
ing Milesburg forward as the proper
place for the county capital. It seems
that Milesburg was banking considera-
ble on the fact that it was located on a
navigablestream of water, but the Belle-
fonte hustlers knocked tke bottom out
of their boom when they hitched two
mules to an old flat boat and pulled it
up here, then claiming that ‘Bellefonte
was the head of navigation.”
LuMBER RUNNING ON THE RIVER —.
Since Tuesday the river has fallen sev-
eral inches. At Clearfield the water fell
from five feet yesterday to three and a-
half feet to-day. Several rafts left Clear-
field this morning.
All the jobbers in the Pine Creek re-
gion have broken their landings and
logs are floating down the streams to-
ward the Linden boom. Kavanaugh’s
drive will bring in over 20,000,000 feet ;
another drive of over 6,000,000 feet is
expected from above English Centre,
and the logs from the three jobs on Ot.
ter run, Black’s creek and Block House
creek are now on their way to the
river.—Lock Haven Democrat.
——Sheffer is again offering a great
i inducement.
——J. Willard Barnhart, a son of
Philip Barnhart, of Spring township,
has made an engagement with Messrs:
McCalmont & Co. to take charge of
their coal yard office as clerk and sales-
mar, as well as to assist Robert MeCal-
mont in the management of the business |
at the lime kilns, Mr. Barnhart has been a
school teacher and lately has been em-
ployed by John T. Fowler, in Taylor
township. He has a large acquaintance,
as well as a large connection of relatives
in Centre county, whom he will be
pleased to meet at his new place of busi-
ness on and after April 1st.
— Cotton seed meal, one part;
glutton meal, one part; and wheat bran,
two paris, mixed with short cut clover
hay, make the best feed for milk cows
now in use. One pound of cotton seed
meal is equal in value to two pounds of
corn meal, nevertheless, cotton seed
m eal of the best quality is sold at $1.25
per hundred pounds, including the cost
of the sack, and gluten meal is sold at
the same price per hundred pounds,
with a liberal discount on the price for
la rge quantities. Our readers who have
cows to feed will save money by calling

embroideries, gloves and ladies’ furnish-
ings. Miss Straub is an exceedingly
pleasant young lady and her good taste
in matters of feminine fancy will doubt-
less make her store an attractive place
for buyers.

spring and has arranged games with Prince-
ton, U. of P,, Lehigh and other good colleges.
--R. DM. Magee was in Bellefonte during the
fore part of the week riding that insurance
hobby of his. It would seem that it would be
al most dead the way he works it, but the
Brooklyn Life is so strong that the more it is
used the better it becomes and Mr. Magee
knows it. He is its Pennsylvania manager
wi th headquarters at Philadelphia.

— Rev. Dr. D. 8. Monroe, presiding elder of
this district,came down from his home in Al,
toona, on Saturday, to preach two excellent
sermons to the Methodists here. The bril-
liant divine heaped coals of fire on the heads
of the so-called christians of this place who
were loud in their denunciations of him for
having sent a pastor here whom they did not
like. Dr. Monroe assured his friends here
that he had had nothing, whatever, to do with
the appointment.
—Prof. M. C. [hlseng, who has charge of the

sylvania State College, was an arrival in town
Wednesday. His isoneof the newest depart-

from the popularity it has attained with the
students it will not be long until it is one of
the leaders. It is certainly a branch of work
in which Pennsylvanians are particularly in-
terested an d as Prof Thiseng is a recognized
authority on mining questions the course is
doubtless very complete.
