DEATH oF WILLIAM HAMILTON.—
{On Tuesday morning early, William
|
|
Hamilton, who has been. in very feeble
health for years, died at his rooms, in
Crider’s building, in the 72ad year of his
e. «
Mr. Hamilton was a son of Hugh
{ Hamilton, a prominent and distinguish-
ed citizen of Harrisburg, where the son
was born and educated. He studied
law and was admitted to the bar but on
the breaking out of the war he enlisted
in Co. D. 2nd Penn’a Reserves, where
he served until the time of the discharge
of the Reserves on the 31st of May,
1864. He was then transferred to 191st
regiment Penn’a Volunteers in which
be served until the close of the war,
most of the time as clerk in the ad-
jutant’s office at head-quarters. .
When the war was oyer he came to
Bellefonte and entered the law office of
his brother-in-law, Hon. H. N. Me-
Allister, whose second wife was a Miss
Hamilton, where he continued until
Gen. Beaver was elected Governor.
Then he laid aside the work which he
bad done efficiently and acceptably |
for eo many years and went with the
Governor's family to Harrisburg. For
some years he has been so feeble with
creeping paralysis that a nurse was
with him constantly but until this
winter he had been able to be out for
exercise.
Mr. Hamilton was a kind, affable man
always interested in people and events.
He was especially well posted on-ocal
and general history and for years had
kept a record of the: weather.
He was unmarried and ot his family
only one brother, A. Boyd Hamilton,
of Harrisburg, is living. Dr. Laurie
fi
| conducted the funeral services at his
rooms, Thursday morning, after which
bis body was taken to Harrisburg, on
the 10:09 train, for burial.

A squad from Co. B. 5th Reg.
N. G. P., in command of 1st Lieut. Geo.
L. Jackson and 2nd Lieut. H. S. Tay-
lor, had a special train over the Central
rail-road, on Sunday afternoon, by
which to attend the funeral of an old
member of the company. 1t was that
of Charles McLanahen who died at the
home of his parents, in Mill Hall, on
Thursday afternoon. He was just 33
years of age and was an ex maker by
trade. It was while working at Axe
Mann that he became connected with
Co. B., and during the time of his en-
listment he was one of the brag “five
setts of fours,” the large men who won
so much distinction for the company
when Cap’t, Mullen was at its head.
Consumption was the cause of his death.
The burial was made at Cedar Springs,
the train having been run from Mill
Hall to that place and return for the
purpose of hauling many of the friends.

elder of this district of the Methodist
church and moved his family from Ty-
rone to Harrisburg after his appoint.

day, after which the remains were taken
to Huntingdon for burial.

THE PROBLEM EXCITEMENT. — The
problems that have been appearing: in
this paper for the last few weeks have
caused so much interest that we have
concluded to conduct a regular depart-
ment devoted to puzzles, catch ques-
tions, ote.
So many answers have been received
for the last one that we have been un-
able to compile them for this issue, but
the correct solution will be given in the |
. |
next issue, with the names of those who |
mastered it. At the same time a new |
question will be submitted to our read.
ers and prizes will be offered, under
conditions that will lend much to the
interest in its solution.
Watch for the new problem and the
prize proposition on page 6 of the next
issue.

——There were 508 inmates in the
Huntingdon reformatory last week.
-——The P.O. S. of A., of Salona,
held its first annual banquet last night.
——Adaline Camp, a seven year old
daughter of John Camp of Milroy,
broke through the ice on a pond on
which she was skating, with two other
girls, on Saturday evening, and was
drowned. The fortunate arrival of a
man saved her companions, one of
whom was her sister. The little girl
was a neice of W. R. Camp, a former
furniture dealer of this place.
——Timothy J. Lane, the tramp who
confessed to officer Snyder, of Tyrone,
that he was a fugitive from justice from
Peabody, Mass., about two weeks ago,
has been positively identified by officers
from that place who came on to examine
him. His pal, who was arrested at the
time Lane fled, was brought to Tyrone
and recognized him at once. Officer
Snyder will get $250 reward offered for
Lane’s apprehension. :
—— Among those who have moved
or are going to, between this and next
Wednesday, are : Mrs. Margaret Alex-
ander, frem the Zeller’s home, on How-
ard, to one of the Harris houses further
east on the eame street. J. W. Gephart,
from Andrew Curtin’s house on Curtin
street to McFarland’s house on Linn.
Dr. J. E. Ward, from the Lieb prop-
erty on Bishop into his own new house
on Curtin. Mrs. Hogue, from Crider’s
Exchange to the Lieb house. Mrs.
Darrt, into cne of McQuistion’s houses
-on west High street. Robert Hunter,
from McFarland’s on Linn street to
Zeller's on Howard. Will Singer, from
Gray’s on Curtin to one of J. L. Kurtz's
across the street. J. C. Meyer leaves.
the Joseph house on Curtin for his own
new bome on the same street, while F.
H. Thomas goes into the one he leaves,
Harry (Brew, from the Reynolds
house on Allegheny to the Brew home
on Spring street.
——The regular spring inspection of
Co. B. 5th, Reg. N. G. P. was made in
the armory, on Monday night, by Maj.
John P. Penny, of Pittsburg. The
company showed up remarkably well
in every line except that of battalion
drill and though not quite up to the
standard of former years it passed a
very creditable inspection, when the
many draw-backe it bas suffered lately
are considered. Accompanying the in-
specting officer were Major J. P. Ken-
nedy, Cap’t. W. C. McKee and Lieut.
E. W. Smith, of Blairsville ; and Lieut.
Col. Austin Curtin, of Roland. During
the day the military men were enter-
tained at dinner at the University Inn,
State College, by Adj. P. D. Foster.
Afterwards Lieut. E. W. McCaskey,
U. 8. A., commandant of the cadet corps
at the college, gave an exhibition drill
in honor of the visitors. Later, with
adjutants Foster and J. M. Wolfe, he
accompanied them to the inspection
here. All the visitors were entertained
at the Bush House, later, by the officers
of Co. B.
——The commissioners sale of un-
ceated lands was held in the arbitration
room, in the court house, on Tuesday.
A fair number of purchasers were there
and Dave Sweetwood, the auctioneer,
found little trouble in disposing of
nearly all the tracts that had been ad-
vertised. These ‘sales of unseated lands
have worried the city papers very much
lately because of their being an im-
aginary source of large revenue to the
county. The most effectual answer to
these charges of a questionable income
to the county is seen in the fact that
from the sale of over one hundred tracts
only $600 were realized. This does not
look much as if Centre county has a
mint in her unseated lands. The land
is so much in dispute that it commands
very little and in many: cases is not
worth that. Its purchase is very like
that of a pig in a poke, for often
times it®is plastered, knee deep, with
claims snd is either so high in the
air or 80 deep in the ground that no one
can get at it after he has purchased.
THe OrERA.—The ~ company that
sang Willard Spenser's dainty opera at
Garman’s, Monday night, gave entire
satisfaction to a good house. Though
Miss Clark was suffering with a severe
cold she sang her role of Bonnicin a
very charming way and convinced her
bearers that she was lending quite as
much art to the opera as her predecessor
Miss Mayo. Coquettish Jennie ‘Gold-
thwait, as “Kittie Clover,” simply took
a mortgage on another town. She al-
ready owns nearly every place she has
ever appeared in and Bellefonte is no
exception, for her conception’ of the
light hearted summer girl 1s simply cep-
tivating. Armstrong’s singing of the
rola of Roy Stirling was clearly the best
work of the evening, the rendition of
his love song in the first act baving
called forth a number of encores. Rich-
ard Quilter, as Shrimps,” and Miss
Fairbairne’s ¢“Aunty Crab’’ were both
good.
The costuming and stage settings lent
much to the success of the opera and
bad there been an orchestra to accom-
pany it the performance would have
equaled, in every respect, its initial pro-
duction in Philadelphia three years ago
METHODIST CONFERENCE APPOINT-
MENTS.—The annual session of the Cen-
tral Pennsylvania Methodist conference
in session at Williamsport, for 1896, ad-
journed, on Tuesday. after making the

A PovERTY PARTY.—Last night the
“new man’s club” of the Reformed

Exchange that afforded lots of fun for
those that attended. ‘‘Biled shirts and
dickeys” were tabooed and the man
with the worst looking clothes was the
popular fellow. From the appearance
of the entertainment one almost imagin-
dist Episcopal church.
work of the week. Bishop Vincent
presided and that is sufficient assurance
of its interest. There are, however,
many bits of statistical information that
were dropped during the conference ses-
sions that tend to show the development
and aim of the Methodist church, which
we have compiled and publish with the
appointments for this district.
The report of the bcard of stewards
showed that there had been received

A CooLER.—Tuesday morning was
; one that sets a new mark in the weath-
er record for March. Though it was the
24th, three days alter the advent of
| Spring and two weeks after the limit of
the greund-hog’s influence over the ele-
ments, the mercury dropped to 6° be-
low zero and stocd at 4° below at seven
' o’clock Tuesday morning.
i While it was one of the coldest morn-
1 ings we have bad in a year it was beau-
tifa] with-al. The intense cold had
crystallized the moisture that made the
, heavy, blinding fog that hung over the
‘town, on Monday night, and when
morning came every tree and bush glis-
. tened in the sun-light as if nature bad
laviehed showers of diamond dust on
them. The telephone and telegraph
| wires looked like great cotton ropes,
; there seemed to be a continual shower
i of miniature prisms, thejwhole; making
. a veritable winter scene in fairy land.
Mzs. FursT.—After a long illness
| Mrs. Mary Aon Furst, widow of Wil.
! liam R. Furst, died of softening of the
brain at her home in Halfmoon, on
Tuesday morning, the 24th. She was
a grand-daughter of Peter Gray, one of
the first settlers of Halfmoon Valley,
and the eldest daughter of Peter B., and
Elizabeth Perdue Gray. Her brothers
and sisters living are Will, of Storms-
town ; Green and Wesley, of Buffalo
Run; Dr. E. J. Gray, of Williamsport ;
Mrs. Sarah Wilson, of Newberry ; and
Mrs. Rebecca Beck, of Miles City ;
