this place, was married to Miss Jennie
Bubb, of Williamsport, at noon on
Tuesday. The ceremony was solemnized
at the bride’s home and was a very un-

tour they will go to housekeeping on
north Spring street.
Several months ago the Village
Improvement society was organized
with the understanding that the Street
committee of the council would try, at
least, to carry out the scciety’s sugges-

toward stopping the flames. She saved
two beds, however. The house was de-
stroyed before her neighbors a mile dis-
tant could get to it.

appreciative of the minister’s address.

| VERSARY OF BELLEFONTE.—Next
Thursday and Friday will witness the
greatest time Bellefonte bas ever had.
The 100th anniversary of the town will
be celebrated in such a magnificent style
| as will do great credit to a place that
never does things by halves. Already
the plans for the centennary have shap-
ed themselves so as to foretell two gala
days. Two days of pleasure and abso-
lute abandon to century mark festivities.
It is hardly probable that any of us will
see another such epoch marked off in
the history of our town, so let us do our-
selves credit in this.
one for Bellefonte alone, since the peo-
ple throughout the county are as much
interested in it, as their county seat, as
we are, as our home. The entire coun-
ty is expected to join in the celebration
and just as much is expected from with-
out as within. The large posters that
have been sent broadcast over the coun-
try have already announced to you the
program of the day and we merely want
to add that the features they advertise
will truly be seen.
The fire works display will equal
those in & production of the gigantic
spectacle “Herculaneum,” since the
same man is making them and has guar-
anteed as much. The firemen’s parade,
on Thursday will be the largest of its
kind ever seen here. The parade on
Friday will include civic and military
orders from all parts of the county, at
least ten bands and an industrial divis-
ion such as will delight the eyes of all
beholders, Professional decorators al-
ready have paraphernalia here with
which to decorate and beautify the
town and nothing will be left undone
that will tend to make it 8 most de-
lightful time for all.
FIREMEN'S DAY,

A VETERAN IN DEMOCRACY Is DEAD.
—Last week we announced the serious
illness of W. H. Noll Egq., at. Pleasant
Gap, but we little thought then that the
next issue would contain a notice of his
death. After an illness that extended
over a year he died last Tuesday after-
noon leaving those who survive almost
at a loss to know the exact nature of
his trouble.
W. H. Noll, Sr., was the eldest son
of Samuel Noll and Rebecca Tibbens
and was born in the old Benner home-
stead, at Rock Forge, on April 22nd,
1837. When a young man he married
Emeline Evy, who lived with her pa-
rents on the Shugert’s farm near the Gap.
Henry began house keeping for himself
then and rented the old Squire Furey
farm, where he lived until he moved to
his present home.
Mr. Noll was a carpenter by trade
and a very good one too. He worked
until about a year ago, when he became
unfit for such occupation. Seven chil-
dren survive with their mother. They
ater W.H., J, 0,J. A., Join F,,
Dr. S. E., Boyd A., and Ethel.
Deceased was one of the most ardent
Democratic workers in the party and
last fall had all of his six sons home so
that they would cast seven solid votes
for the ticket. He was a Democrat,
true and tried, when it required a cour-
ageous nature to stand up for principles
of Democracy. He was a member of
the Reformed church of this place and
funeral services will be held at his late
home this morning at 9 o'clock. He
was & brother of John Noll, of north
Allegheny street.
DeatH oF RoBERT F. RANKIN—The
sincere sympathy of the people of Belle-
fonte went out to Mrs. Barbara Ran-
kin, of Thomas street, when it was an-
nounced that her son, Robert F., had
died very unexpectedly at Midway, near
Pittsburg, on Tuesday morning.
Robert had purchased a drug store at
Midway, some time ago and was get-
ting along so nicely there that his
friends were delighted with his pros-
pects. About two weeks ago he came
home on a visit to his mother and
while here complained of a sore throat
and stomach trouble. Nothing was
thought to be seriously the matter,
however, and no alarm was felt by his
friends here until they received a tele-
gram, on Monday night, announcing his
dangerous condition. Ed. H. Rankin
started at once for the bedside of his
brother but ’twas too late, Robert had
died before he could get there.
Deceased was 45 years old and leaves
three sons to mourn his sad death. They
are Fred and Paul, both employed in
Philadelphia and Robert, at school at
Blairsville, N. J. He was a druggist of
exceptional ability and was a graduate
of the Philadelphia college of pharmacy.
During his life he had been in business
in this place, Philipsburg and Philadel-
phia, where he was head clerk in the
large retail store of Fred Brown, the
great troche dispenser. ‘‘Bobby,”” as his
friends were wont to call him, was a
generous, open hearted man whom one
could not help but like and his death,
right in the prime of manhood, seems a
singularly sad one.
His mother, his widow, his
sons, three sisters and two
ers survive. - The remains
brought here Wednesday and
was made yesterday morning
o'clock.

HANGED HIMSELF IN THE BARN.—
In the best of health and financial con-
dition William Wise, a well-to-do
farmer who lived within a mile of
Woodward, hanged himself last Satur-
day afternoon.
He had driven to Woodward that
day to transact some business and after
attending to it he returned home, but
he was never seen alive, for later, when
his sons went to the barn, they found
his body cold snd lifeless hanging to a
line from the loft above. It is supposed
that atter he had unhitched his horse
he just took one of the lines and fast-
ened it overhead in the stable then,
climbing a ladder, he fastened the other
end round his neck and jumped off.
No cause can be given for the rash
act. Mr. Wise had no cares that are
known of. He had a pleasant family
and everything to make an ordinary
man happy. His sad death nas cast a
gloom over that whole community.
He was 38 years old.
STRICKEN IN A PosT OFFICE.— While
Mr. David Dunkle, a well known and
highly esteemed resident of Walker
township, was in the post office. at Min-
goville, Monday morning, his heart
failed and he fell over, expiring in a
very few moments. He was just in the
act of placing a stamp on a letter when
the fatal stroke called him to his death.
Deceased was 65 years old and leaves
a wife and three grown up children. He
was a member of the Reformed church
and held the general esteem of the com-
munity in which he lived. Interment
was made on Wednesday at Hublers-
burg.
John Phalon, a farmer on the
out skirts of Lock Haven, was killed
by a train near Westport on Wednes-
day morning.
Capraiy E. D. BrisBIN DEaD.—
Captain E. D. Brisbin died at his home
at Pennsylvania avenue and Fourteenth
street, at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday morn-
ing, after suffering from pneumonia
about a week.
Captain Ezra Dougherty Brisbin was
born at Boalsburg, Centre county, on
the 20th of October, 1829, and was 65
years, 7 months and 9 days old. Spend-
ing his childhood days at Boalsburg, his
parents removed to Williamsburg when
the lad was about 12 years of age, where
he grew to manhood. At the age of 22
years he went west and lived in Kansas
two years. then he returned and settled
in Tyrone, where on the 1st of January,
1856, he married Miss Mary M. Max-
well, the daughter of Robert Maxwell,
one of Tyrone’s early citizens, who with
his family in later years removed to the
west. Mr. and Mrs. Brisbin remained
in Tyrone one year after their marriage,
then they removed to Milesburg where
they remained about a year,and then
removed to Woodbury where they lived
some years. They then removed to the
west, and after living in Wisconsin
about a year settled in Redwing, Minn.
They remained in Minnesota until
about seven years ago when they re-
turned to Tyrone and have lived here
ever since.
Captain Brisbin in disposition was
quiet, unostentatious and kind. The
surviving brothers are Samuel Brisbin,
of Lewistown, and B. V. Brisbin, of
Lemont, Centre county.— Wednesday's
T yrone Herald.
— Conductor Allison Haupt, of
Tyrone, has the sincere sympathy of
his many friends in his vicinity in this
his time of bereavement, His only
daughter, Miss Bertha, died last Satur-
day afternoon from heart disease brought
about by grip and inflammatory rheu-
matism. Deseased was just 25 years
and 10 months old and a most exem-
plary christian girl. On the Monday
previous to her death her grand-mother
died, hence it would seem that the par-
en ts’ burden of sorrow is a great one.
Mrs. W. U. Herr, of Salona, a
member of the Baptist church, died on
Monday night, from the effects of an
operation for appendicitis that was
made on Saturday. Deceased was 34
years of age and leaves a husband with
two children to mourn her death. Her
remains were interred in the cemetery
at Salona yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Puff, relict of John Puff
who died on April 29th, died at her
home on Halfmoon hill, on Monday af-
ternoon, exactly four weeks after the
death of her husband. Interment was
made on Wednesday afternoon.
——Mrs. Elias Stover died at hep
home in Rebersburg last Monday and
her remains were buried yesterday. That
same evening Mrs. Aaron Leitzell died,

to the hour of the time of the death of
her husband.
—— Miss Julia Longsdorf died at her
home in Loganton, on Tuesday morn-
ing. She died of hemorrhages and was
buried yesterday.

WHAT PERSEVERANCE HAs DoNE.—
‘The other day Robert M. Foster Esq.,
sold his fine dwelling house on the main
street at State College to Mr. Henry
Grimm. This transaction, in itself, was
not anything remarkable, but when the
circumstances surrounding it are known
the sale appears in an entirely different
phase.
Only a few years ago Mr. Grimm ar-
rived at State College to work on a
tailor’s bench for Shaeffer & Sons, who
were then merchant tailors of that place.
Some time later the Shaeffers bought out
a firm of Arch street, Phila., tailors, and
then Mr. Grimm succeeded them in
business at State College. By earnest
attention to his work and giving satis-
faction to all he has built upa trade that
in such a short time has justified him in
making the purchase of one of the most
desirable homes at State College.
Mr. Grimm is one of the right kind
of men for a town to have.

A WRECK oN THE BEeEcE CREEK R.
R.—An east bound passenger train on
the Beech Creek rail-road ran into a
pusher engine that was going west on
Monday morning. The accident oc-
curred in a reverse curve on the east
side of the viaduct and had the freight
engine been drawing a train of cars it
would have been far more serious than
it was. The engineer of the passenger
train could not see the approaching en-
gine until he was within a short distance
of it. Too short to stop and the collision
followed.
The passengers were all considerably
knocked about, but no one was serious-
ly hurt.

besides having had several of her lower

however, and returned home losers by
the score of 18 to 7. The College boys
were ahead up to the sixth inning when
the Philipsburgers made 8 runs and
settled the game. It is said that Sam
Graham has survived the diet of snow
balls, which he claimed the manager of
the old Bellefonte Mountain League
club tried to force him to live upon one
time, and distinguished himself by mak-
ing a brilliant one handed fly catch in
centre field. The Ledger did not state
whether it was a bottle or horse fly that
Sem caught.
