the store boxes, ash barrels and sweep-
ings that pollute the streets removed is
concerned everyone will second such
good work in a very earnest way. Belle-
fonte is naturally too pretty to be mar-
red by such evidences of sloth on the
part of her business men.
THE SAD DEATH OF AARON WIL-
LiAMs.—Last week the WATCHMAN
announced the serious illness of Aaron
Williams Esq., who had gone from his
home, on Howard street, in this place, to
that of his sister, Mrs. Nancy Eberts,
above Martha Furnace, about two
weeks previous. But no one had any
idea that his obituary would be the next
mention of him. The news of his sad
death reached his friends here about
noon, on Monday, and & sense of pro-
found regret must have been experienc-
ed by the many who knew and honored
him for the simplicity and integrity of
his manly character.
His illness dates back to the campaign
of last fall when the great strain upon
him in making his canvass of this con-
gressional district, shattered his physic-
al condition to such an extent that the
germs of a fatal malady found a fertile
soil in his weakened system. It was
not known that he was suffering with
any particular disease, though the im-
pression went abroad that his defeat for
Congress, in the contest that followed,
had brought on melancholia. This was
true, to a certain extent, for there was
indeed reason for Mr. Williams to feel
keen disappointment over the result of
the election. A cleaner, better man had
never honored a party with his candi-
dacy. His condition grew worse during
the winter, until several weeks ago it
was thought a change of scenes would
do him good and he went up to his boy-
hood’s home in the Bald Eagle valley.
There, notwithstanding all the tender
administrations of loving hands and the
diverting influences of early day reminis-
cences, he continued to fail and had eat-
en scarcely anything for a week before
the Saturday previous to his death. On
that day there was a great discharge
from his throat, as if an abscess had
broken in his stomach, after that his ap-
petite picked up and he seemed to be
better. It gave a clue toa new cause
for his illness, as his physicians had not
been able to determine what was the
matter with him. It was hoped then
that his life could be saved, but on
Monday there was another discharge of
the same sort and a half hour later he
was dead, practically from exhaustion.
Thus he died with a tumorous growth
in the stomach, the presence of which
no one kne\ until it was too late, but
its deadliness has left the county to
mourn a man whose life will live on in
history though his soul has winged its
way to its Maker’s presence.
We had expected to be able to pre-
sent an auto-biography of Mr. Williams,
but it has been misplaced and in itsstead
we publish the following, which was
compiled by Recorder W. Galer Morri-
son, with whom he was closely associ-
ated.
Aaron Williams was born in Half
Moon township, January 21, 1838.
The advantages for schooling, in that
section, at that time, were limited, but
Aaron at a very early age developed an
astonishing amount of pluck and deter-
mination in overcoming difficulties
which would have deterred many a one
from acquiring the most meager knowl-
edge of hooks. The public schools
were open for but three months in the
year, and the subscription school was
considered too expensive, and attendance
at it was not to be thought of when
there was so much work on the farm
during the summer. But when the
long day’s work was done Aaron would
place himself by the old-fashioned fire-
place, and by the light of the blazing
pine-knots, or anon the almost forbid-
den luxury of a tallow dip, he became
absorbed in his books and the ordinary
recreations cf other youths had no
other charms for him. He pursued his
studies while doing the farm work, and
as he held the plow behind a slowly
plodding ox team he studied out many a
difficult mathematical problem. When
the rains came and the Bald Eagle
creek rose, furnishing motive power for
his father’s old-time ““up-and-down’’ saw
mill, Aaron ran the mill and while the
saw slowly made its way through the
log he was engaged in study. In this
way he laid the foundation of a very
complete and practical education, and it
was this training which made him the
self-reliant, well-informed man that he
was. When the war clouds gathered in
the late rebellion he joined the Eight-
eenth Regiment, Penn., Cavalry and
served his country gallantly and well.
He attended the Academy at Pine
Grove Mills and then engaged in teach-
ing in the public schools. He taught
several terms in Worth and Huston
townships, had charge of the first school
opened in the town of Port Matilda,
during the winter of 1867-68. He was
very successful as a teacher, and many
a young man and young woman are
the better for his kind instructions and
advice. He came to Bellefonte, and af-
ter a course of study under the late
Judge John H. Orvis, was admitted to
the bar on Nov. 23, 1865. He served
as deputy sheriff, under Sheriff D. W.
Woodring, and in 1872 was elected Pro-
thonotary. He made one of the best
and most accurate officials Centre
county has ever had, being re-elected in
1875 by a largely increased majority.
Although, owing to other interests, he
never engaged actively in the practice
of the law, he was always known as a
safe counsellor, and most faithfully dis-
charged every work undertaken by him,
The funeral was held yesterday after-
ternoon at 1 o'clock, services having
been held in the Baptist church at
Martha and interment meade in the
Williams cemetry near by.
A widow and a number of brothers
and sisters mourn the death that has so
suddenly taken from them so dear an
one. A feeling of deepest sorrow will
pervade the entire county. Aaron
Williams was a man of whose life too
little was known. The many benefac-
tions that have come from his hand
leave bright memories of him in the
hearts of the many whom he helped.
He was honest to a fault. Slow to
friendship but earnest when once
gained.
The centre county bar association met
to take action of his death shortly atter
its announcement and appointed Clem-
ent Dale, John Blanchard, J. C.
Meyer, Ellis L. Orvis and John F. Pot-
ter a committee to present resolutions
and D. F. Fortney, J. C. Meyer, John
Kline, Ira C. Mitchell, A. A. Dale, H.
‘W. Bickle, W. C. Heinle and S. D.
Ray to represent the association at the
funeral.

Wednesday and were defeated after an
exciting contest with the collegians by
the score of 13 to 14. The visitors were
in danger of a bad defeat but took a
brace in the latter part of the game
that kept captain Stuart’s men hustling
to keep away from. The college team

ARE WE 10 HAVE A CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATION.—A meeting of the citi-
zens of the borough was held in the
court house Tuesday evening to decide
on the question of celebrating the cen-
tennial anniversary of Bellefonte. Tt
convened in pursuance to a call for a
meeting by the burgess and notwith-
standing the import of the approaching
event there was a very small attendance
and, as Gen. Beaver announced, the men
who would be most benefitted by such
a celebration were conspicious by their
absence.
Burgess Gray called the meeting to
order and after stating the object called
for the nomination of a chairman, where-
upon John C. Miller, president of coun-
cil, was sent to the chair. Representa.
tives of the News, Hornet, Gazette and
WATCHMAN were made the secretaries.
The meeting was then declared open for
suggestions as to what would be the best
course to pursue. Gen. Beaver was the
first to talk. He seemed disinclined to
commit himself for fear he would be
looked on as a leader of the project and
he rightly thought the business men
should take hold of it, as they would be
the natural beneficiaries. C. F. Mont-
gomery, Al S. Garman, post-master
Fortney, W.S. Lyon, Herman Holz,
F. E. Naginey, Ira C. Mitchell Esq., J.
C. Meyer Esq. and Clement Dale Esq.,
were among the men who were suffi-
ciently enthused to volunteer whatever
assistance is possible. Mr. Mitchell
compared the lethargic appearance of
the meeting Tuesday evening with what
would have been the case forty years
ago, when so much enthusiasm marked
every public celebration. Mr. Dale
tried to explain away the evident lapse
of public spiritedness that characterizes
this later generation by pleading that
the people have been made poor paying
debts contracted by our daddies, back in
the sixties, when they were trying to
boost the town into public notice. His
argument proved rather lame, since it
would seem from it that we are content
to sit down and be satisfied with the
honors our forefathers have won for us,
rather than continue the good work of
booming for ourselves, even if it does
mean the expenditure of more money.
A general discussion: of the advisability
of having such a celebration followed
and then it was decided to adjourn the
meeting until this evening at 8 o’clock.
A committee composed of W. S.-Lyon,
W. E. Gray, Al. S. Garman, M. A.
Kirk and George R. Meek, was appcint-
ed to draft a possible program so as to be
able to put something tangible before
the meeting tonight.
It is the duty of every resident of the
town to get to work and try to commem-
‘orate the past of oar town with some
ceremonies in keeping with the proud
history of that past. No place in the
State has more to look back upon with
a sense of gratification than Bellefonte
and no people in the State puff them-
selves up more when they announce to
strangers that they live in Bellefonte.
It is not vain glory either, this sense of
pride tha. fills every soul in the town.
Let there be a big turn out this evening
and, above all things, Jet us have a
rousing celebration. It will cost some
money, ’tis true, but we will all have
regained that by the time we are called
upon to celebrate another such anniver-
sary.
PETTY THIEVING AT KAGLEVILLE.
The arrest of Jacob Aikey, of Eagle
ville, last week, of which the WATCH-
MAN gave a full account, bas led to the
discovery of a regular band of thieves
who have been committing petty rob-
beries for a long time in the lower end
of Bald Eagle valley.
None of the thefts amounted to much
until Solomon Higgins lost a steer and
other people began to notice their poul-
try disappearing, Then a number of
the residents of Howard and Liberty
townships offered a reward of $50.00 for
the arrest and conviction ot the guilty
parties. Chief Keller, of the Lock Ha-
von police force, went to work and soon
arrested Aikey, who is in jail here now
awaiting trial. His arrest resulted in
the confession of one of his confederates
and now most of the gang is known.
The steer was shot in the woods back of
Eagleville and dressed there after night.
The party dividing its carcass and bury-
ing the hide and entrails so that no
trace of their deed would be left.
RoBBERIES IN CLINTON COUNTY.—
Burglars robbed Rothrock’s store at
Driftwood, on Monday night, and got
away with their plunder on an east
bound freight train. Renovo policeman
Berry, who undertook their arrest, was
met with a cold lead reception and tele-
graphed to Lock Haven to apprehend
them, but the police of the latter place
were given the slip by the robbers who
jumped off the train and took to the
woods.
The same night a young lady and
gentleman, who were returning from a
dance in Lock Haven, discovered flve
men burgiarizing the Junction house at
Castanea, but before the policemen
could be called they had escuped with
$3.86 in cash, eighteen bottles of whis-
key and several hundred cigars,
The Castanea brewery was another
place entered the same night. There
the safe was cracked and about $25 in
cash secured.

man street.
THE UNDINES AND THEIR EASTER
BaLL.—On Monday night the members
of the Undine fire company gave their
after Easter ball and, as the WATCHMAN
predicted, it was a decided success, both
view.
Those who were present were thor-
oughly delighted with the manner in
which all the arrangements had been
carried out. Good musie, good refresh-
ments, and the best of order made it a
social success, while a profit of $75.00
tells how largely it was attended.
CouNnciL MEETING. — On Monday
evening there was a regular session of

SuccessFUuL FisHERMEN. — Though
Monday was extremely cold and dis-
agreeable and not at all suitable for good
trout fishing there were many baskets
filled with the speckled beauties when
the fishermen quit the banks of Buffalo
Run, Spring Creek and Logan Branch
to return to their homes. The water
was just a trifle too wild and cold for
good sport, but for a while in the morn-
ing the gamy little fish bit ‘‘for keeps’
and plenty of the early risers had good
8 trings by the time the sleepy fellows
got to the water.
Charles Heisler, John Wagner, Wm.
Walker, Clayt. Brown, Charles R.
Kurtz, Will Cassidy, Hard P. Harris
and the Saylor boys were among the
most successful. Nearly every one bad
some fish however.

Millersville, were united in marriage by
the Rev. J. A. Woodcock.
The bride, who is a tall, fine looking

of white silk. The bridesmaids, Miss
Ella Twitmire, sister of the bride, and
Miss Dora Moyer, of Rohrerstown, wore

home here.
Nica BANK 15s Nor WORKED OUT.
Last week we were led into making
the erroneous statement that Nigh bank,
an ore operation of the Valentine iron
company, had been worked out and clos.
ed, possibly forever. It was made on
what we considered reliable authority,
but since then it has been learned that
the bank was closed only temporarily
and not forever. The slopes that were
being worked were no longer profitable
and the bank was closed until it could
be gotten in shape for working in other
drifts. President J. W. Gephart says
there is plenty of ore there and the idea
of abandoning such a rich fleld would
be ridiculous.

cents afterall. No matter what people
say it is as natural to save a penny in
buying as it is to eat dinner at the din-

savings are not often to be had, but
Lyon & Co’s.,, big advertisement in
this issue affords just such a chance
Read it and profit by the bargains it

——The ladies will be highly inter.
ested in our new department, Ladies
