JupGe BENJAMIN RicH.—The death
of Hon. Benjamin Rich occurred at his
home, at Unionville, last Sunday even-
ing. He had been ill along time with
stomach and kidney troubles, but the
approach of death was not realized until
a few weeks ago, when he was com-
pelled to take his bed. Being a very
large man and well advanced in years
the ravages of disease soon destroyed
Pegs constitution and he fell an
easy victim. :
Benjamin Rich was born in Millville,
Columbia cou July 25th, 1829.
His father, John G>Rich, came from
New Jersey and his mother, Lydia
Lundy, was born in the same house her
children were. Mr. Rich was educated
at Millville seminary and growing tired
of farm life he came to Centre county,
in 1852, where he had been engaged by
the firm of Underwood, Hicklen & Co.
as an assistant at the lumber business.
Six years later he came into possession
of John Bing’s store and embarked in
business for himself, having carried on
lumbering with mercantile enterprises
until he retired some years ago.
March 14th, 1874, he was commis-
sioned a justice of the peace and held
the office up to the time of his elevation
to the common pleas bench in 1894.
He was first married, in 1855, to
Amanda, daughter of Dr. William Un-
derwood, and upon her decease he mar-
ried Miss Martha J. Greist, of Adams
county. This was in September, 1859.
To this latter union five children were
born all of whom survive, with one
child of - his first marriage and his
widow.
Judge Rich was a man whose friend-
ship all men courted. Hospitable to a
fault he was a companion whose com-
pany was at all times enjoyable. Im-
bued with the simple, unpretentious
manners of Quaker ancestry he never
sought honors of any sort, but such a
character was not destined to remain in
private life, His party honored him on
a number of occasions and his election
as associate judge, of Centre county,
was evidence of his wide popularity.
Very simple funeral services were
held at the house, Wednesday afternoon.
A very large crowd of friends had as-
sembled to pay a last tribute to the de-
parted and their sentiment was beauti-
fully voiced in the ecomiums of Clem-
ent Dale Esq., and W. C. Heinle Eqq.,
the speakers. The pall bearers repre.
sented the Centre county bar associa-
tion and were: C. P. Hewes, E. R.
Chambers, W. C. Heinle, W. E. Gray,
D. F. Fortney and Clement Dale.
The Centre county bar association
held memorial services, on Tuesday af-
ternoon, and appointed a committee on
resolutions and listened to remarks by
‘W. C. Heinle, E. R. Chambers, H. C.
Quigley, Clement Dale and others.

Winpow.—Will Runkle is one of the
clerks in Zeller’s drug store, in the Ex- |
change, and though he has been there
about a year no real great excitement
had occurred to relieve the monotony of
store life up ‘till last Saturday night.
After closing up he went to bed in his
room in the rear of- the store and was
slesping the sleep of the just when,
about 1.80 in the morning, a terrific
ringing of the night bell caused him to
jump from his bed like a rocket. He
went to the front of the store where he
turned on the light to find a fellow,
who evidently wanted to conceal his
identity, vigorously tugging at the bell
knob.
Will asked him what he wanted. and
"the man outside replied : “I want in.”
; As that was all he would say and as he
{ would not stop ringing the bell Will
made up his mind that the stranger
didn’t need anything very bad so he
went back to bed, but not before he had
uncoupled the bell so that it wouldn’t
ring.
The fellow outside soon discovered
that his bell pulling was all in vain,
then he began kicking the door in such
a way that the clerk went out again and
told him to go away. The stranger
slunk down in the door-way, where he
tureed his collar up and pulled his hat
down, but would not budge.
Then a brilliant idea struck Billy.
He remembered the big Tevolver back
in his room and straightway ran for the
gun. The door battering began again,
while he was gone, and by this time he
was mad all over. In fact so mad thay
he did not notice the ‘dispensary’ par-
tition into which he stumbled in his
eagerness to get front again. The re-
volver, being a double acting weapon,
was discharged by the jar and the bullet
sped direct to the middle of one of the
large French plate windows in the store
front..
It cut a hole clear through the thick
glass and shattered it, on the outside
only, in a way that makes it look like a
large rose. The bullet was flattened
clear out and dropped back inside the
window.
Tbe man on the out side fled when he
heard the shot and Will went back to
bed without knowing what damage he
had done. He found out next morning,
however, when instead of finding a dead
man he found a broken front.
The men working on the steam
mains in the Diamond that night
heard the noise, but thinking it was
only some one after medicine, did not
pay sny farther attention to it.
AN INTERESTING GAME.—The foot
ball game that was played here, on Sat-
urday afternoon, between the Williams-
port High school and Bellefonte Acad-

strong for the crippled home team.
