His DreaM CAME TRUE—HE Was
KiLLEp.—The most tragic death that
has occurred in this county for years
was that of James Thompson, a young
railroad brakeman, last Saturday after-
noon.
He was braking on the local freight
that runs between this place and Sun-
bury and his train had arrived at Beav-
er dam tunnel, just a mile below Co-
burn, where it was necessary to get
ready to make a flying switch to throw
some cars in on the Coburn siding.
DREAMED HE HAD BEEN KILLED.
Thompson had been on the engine
where, in conversation with engineer
Burns he had been told a dream that Mr.
Burns, had had a few nights previous.
The old engineer had dreamed that his
engine had cut Jimmy in twain. Fear-
ing that it might make the young
brakeman uneasy he never said any-
thing about it until that day. Incredu-
lous, as it may seem, Thompson then re-
vealed a dream that he had had himsslf,
just the night before. It was to the ef-
fect that he had fallen under his train
and had been ground to pieces.
RAN LAUGHING TO HIS DEATH.
With this he started back over the
tender laughing at the veteran engi-
neer’s solicitous nature and that was
the last seen of him uxtil a farmer, who
was working at a fence at the side of
the track, motioned to the flagman, on
the rear of the train, and pointed to the
lifeless body of the boy lying between
the rails.
One story is to the effect that he fell
while trying to jump from the tender to
the first car of the train and being
caught on the boxing was dragged and
mangled by the wheels, while the old
farmer maintains that he saw him fall
down between the third and fourth cars
from the caboose. At all events the train
was stopped as soon as the flagman saw
him. The men picked the mangled
body up, and placed it on an impro-
vised stretcher in a freight car. Then
the train was run through to this place
as fast as possible. The remains were
taken in charge by undertaker Harris,
who prepared them for burial before
taking them to the parental home, in
tne Landis row, near McCalmonts’ lime
kilns.
His legRphd arms were ground to
pulp, and the body was dizemboweled,
the head cut in many places and the hip
bone, broken off, protruded six inches
from his left side. Death must have
been almost instantaneous.
James Thompson was 23 years old, a
son of Robert Thompson, of this place,
and was reckoned & very careful rail-
roader. He was a popular young fel-
low and was engaged to be martied to
Miss Carrie Young, of this place,
though his great love for his parents
had prompted kim to forego the pleas-
ure of making a home for himself as
long as his father was out of employ-
ment.
Burial was made from the Reformed
church, on Sunday afternoon, at 5
o'clock. Deceased was a participator in
the company’s relief fand and his moth-
er will receive $1,000 therefrom.
A YELLOW JACKET’s STING KILLED
Hiy.—John Horner, of near Pleasant
Gap, died under remarkable conditions,
on Tuesday afternoon.
He was a well known farmer who
lived on the mountain just south of the
town and devoted part of bis time
to huckstering. He attended market,
in this place, on Tuesday morning, as
usual, and after returning home he
walked out into the orchard near the
houss, to look at some apples. While
there he picked up an apple to taste it.
No sooner had he put it to his month
than a “yellow-jacket’’ appeared on it.
Mr. Horner brushed it away but the
insect darted back at him immodiately.
He brushed it away the second time,
but it darted at him again and before he
could recover it had stung him on the
upper lip. A strange thrill seemed to
shoot through every portion of his body
at the contact and he hurried to the
house, saying that a ‘‘yellow-jacket’
had stung him and that he felt rather
peculiar. The members of the family
noticed that he was looking ill and sent
immediately to Centre Hall for Dr.
Jacobs. Meanwhile Mr. Horner laid
down on a bed, in one of the first floor
rooms, and was dead 1n twenty-five
minutes, never having spoken a word
after telling what had happened to him.
Deceased was 62 years old and leaves
# widow, with two sons and a daughter.
They are: George, of Spruce Creek ;
Elias, of Oak Hall; and Mrs, Susan
Meyer, widow of Lowell Meyer, of this
place. Burial was made at Centre Hall
yesterday. :
The sting of the “yellow-jacket” is
not known to be necessarily fatal
though cases of u similar character are
frequently reported. It has been, how-
ever,only where the person has received
a number of stings that death has fol-
lowed. The action of the insect upon
Mr. Horner seems to have been of a par-
alytic nature. The “yellow jacket’ is
a member of the wasp family.

—-Ex-county commissioner John C,
Henderson was bitten on the hand by a
viper snake, last Tuesday, while bind-
ing oats on his farm near Julian. He
had just reached under the sheaf, pre-
paratory to binding it, when he felt a
sharp pricking sensation as if jagged
by a briar. Withdrawing his hand he
aw the snake drop off and run into
some weeds. Mr. Henderson went to
his house immediately, but before a doc-
tor could be procured the' hand had
swollen frightfully. Poulticing re-
duced the swelling, however, and the
mau was all right by the latter part of
the week.
STONERODE HELD FoR COURT.--At
the hearing before Squire Keichline, in
this place, last Friday morning, Wm.
B. Mingle, cashier of the Penns valley
banking company, at Centre Hall, as
well as fake constable Crawford, who
arrested him, positively identified Boyd
Stonerode, of Milesburg, asthe man
who nearly worked that bank for $197,
on the 23rd of July. The story of how
the game was so nearly carried out has
already been told in these columns and
the descriptions that were handed in of
the man ‘Carpenter’ later led to the
arrest of Stonerode.
At the hearing he did not show the
least concern and faced his accusers
with 8 nerve, if not sustained by in-
neocence, that was simply remarkable.
Enoch Hugg, the Milesburg merchant,
upon whose check and letter ‘“Carpen-
ter” tried to procure the money, was
the prosecutor and the only witnesses
examined were Mr. Mingle and Craw-
ford. Their identification was positive |
and their evidence so thoroughly corro-
borative that Stonerode was held in
$500 bail for court after having waived
a hearing on a second indictment that
was brought for obtaining money under
false pretense.
The only difference the gentlemen
were - able to find in Stonerode’s ap-
pearance and that of the ‘Carpenter,’
whom they had seen last month in the
Centre Hall bank, was that the latter
had a little light mustache, while Stone-
rode, as he appeared atthe hearing,
had a smooth face.
An indictment for forgery against the
young man will hardly -amount to
much since thereis no tangible evidence
of it. Mr. Mingle having given the
forged check for $197 and the forged
letter of introduction back to young
“Carpenter,” after he had refunded the
fraudulently gotten money. This be-
ing the caseno positive evidence of
forgery can be produced, though the
indictment for procuring money under
false pretense will answer all purposes
of the law in this case.
As to whether Stonerode is ¢Carpen-
ter’’ the positive identification seems
conclusive evidence. It is a great pity
that the young man should have al-
lowed himself to get into such a plight,
especially when the estimability of the
family of which he is a member is con-
cerned.
Stonerode was released from custody
Friday afternoon. Alois Kohlbecker,
of Milesburg, having bailed him.
GRAND Musical Festiva. —The
Beilefonte band will hold a grand mu-
sical festival, on Friday and Saturday
evenings of this week, on the North ward
school grounds. Choice refreshments
will be served, and there will be a free
open air concert each evening: On Fri-
day evening our own band will play,

good numbers. Among others the
prize tournament overture; ‘Flitter-
woche’’ by Ripley ; the latest hit in the
waltz line ‘The Little Lost Child,” by
Beyer ; a baritone solo by Walter Der-
stine ; and something entirely new in
the shape of a duet for piccolo and clar-
ionet, by Messrs. Henry Brown and
Prot. Wm. T. Meyer, with a quartette
accompaniment. This piece was com-
posed by Prof. Meyer, and ,is called
“Rippling Brooklet.” This cottcert will
be worth hearing. On Saturday eve-
ning the popular Zion band will far-
nish an equally good program. The
people of Bellefonte are invited to turn
out en masse, and spend two enjoyable
evenings.
