F. Weymouth, the flute soloist, has consented to appear at the Undine band benefit, at Garman’s, next Tuesday night, and his numbers may be anticipated as particularly entertaining ones. ——Col. W. F. Reynolds has authorized an emphatic denial of the rumor that he has purchased the Bellefonte glass works with the intention of turning the plant over to the glass trust. The colonel says that he never thought of such a thing. ——The condition of Morris N. Trone, who has been so seriously ill with typhoid fever, has improved to such an extent that hopes for his ultimate recovery are now entertained. On Sunday he was so low that it was thought he could not live over the day. ——Rev. H. C. Holloway, of Harris- burg, will preach in the Lutheran church, in this place, at both morning and even- ing service on Sunday. Dr. Holloway has accepted the call to Beliefonte and will come about March 1st to take up his work regularly. ——A frame house owned by John Bar- rell and occupied by Samuel Culby and family, near Rote, was totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday afternoon. It started from an overheated stove pipe and burned so fiercely that very few of the house-hold effects could be saved. There was no in- surance. . ——The Ladies’ Aid society of the United Brethren church will hold an oyster supper <n the McClain building, next door to this -office, on Saturday evening, January 29th. In addition to oysters in every style, ice cream, cake and lunch will be served. All are cordially invited. ——A portion of the roof of the electric light house, in Philipsburg, blew off dur- ing Sunday’s storm and falling on the rope that operates the town’s fire alarm started it to blowing. The fire department was turned out and quite a commotion reigned in the town before it was discovered that it was only an accidental alarm. Serg. S. D. Gettig, Co. B, 5th Reg. N. G. P., took a squad of four men to How- ard yesterday morning to attend the funeral of Mr. Benj. Holter. They went down to fire the parting volleys that the soldier burial requires. Messrs Hick Kellerman, John Morrison, Richard Taylor and Willis Williams made ap the squad. ——The cake walk of the Undine engine company, at the Undine band concert, next Tuesday night, Feb. 1st, needs no further advertisement than the mere announcement that it will be put on. The hit the boys made with it last year was so great that every one will want to see it again. ——The Bellefonte story writer is at work again and his imaginative produc- tions are appearing in city papers right along. The latest is to the effect that a Clearfield county miner, walking from Lewisburg to Bellefonte, was captured by robbers and carried to a cave in ‘‘the Nar- rows’’ where he was kept three days on one meal. ——The wind storm on Sunday seems to have been very general in its sweep over the country. Much damage was done along the Atlantic and some of our neighboring towns suffered quite severely. The only damage done in Bellefonte was the blowing over of a large tree in front of Hon. A. O. Furst’s home on Linn street. The terrace in front of the Furst home had just been nicely graded and sodded, but the blowing down of the large tree has marred the effect of the improvement. ——Miss Puella Dornblaser, of Mackey- ville, went to Williamsport, Wednesday, to assume her duties as superintendent of charities to which she was recently appoint- ed. She will have two fine offices in the city hall and among her duties, which have not been fully mapped out, will be to keep a register of all the dependents and look up the records of every one who applies for help. The idea is to protect people who give money to the poor from being impos- ed upon and at the same time to help the really deserving poor. She will have noth- ing to do with the cases that the poor board take care of, but is to look after the volun- tary contributions and those helped by the different charities of the city. THE LAST oF THE OLD CURTINS.—The death of the venerable John Curtin at his home, on Linn street, in this place, on last Friday afternoon, removed the last of the men who had figured prominently in the early days of Centre county and Belle- fonte. His early life had been so inti- mately identified with men who gave this community distinction that he was at once an interesting and distinguished citi- zen. His last days were marked by the gradu- al enfeeblement of old age and his death resulted from no particular disease, only the dissolution of a once robust and rugged constitution. John Curtin was the youngest of the children of Roland Curtin Sr., and Marga- ret Gregg Curtin. He was born in the Aull house, that stood on the site of Joseph & Bros. store building, on Allegheny street, September 24th, 1810. His mother having died when he was quite young he was sent, with the other children, to make his home with Mrs. Boileau, mother of the late Dan’l Boileau, who resided at the toll gate mid-way between Bellefonte and Milesburg. Soon after his father had re- married he was taken back home and sent to school. When he had finished his course here his father sent him and the late Governor Andrew G., who was the eldest of the children of the second mar- riage, to the Milton academy, where they remained for a short time and were sent on to Harrisburg to complete their education there. ? Roland Curtin Sr., his father, was the founder of the family in this country and emigrated from Ireland in 1783. He first located in Philipsburg then came over to Milesburg, where he had a store as early as 1797. In 1800 he was a resident of Bellefonte and ten years later, in connec- tion with Moses Boggs, built the forge at Eagle Works and became its sole owner in 1815. In 1828 the old mansion at Curtins Works, the present home of Hon. Harry R. Curtin, was built and occupied by Ro- land and several years later John was brought home from school and sent to Martha Furnace to manage the iron mak- ing at that old time centre. He staid there until the place was sold to the late John I. Thompson. It was in the nature of a coin- cidence that both these old iron masters of early times should have died on the same day. When he returned to Eagle furnace he took charge there and with his half broth- er, the late Constans Curtin, he managed the works until 1864, when the firm of C. & J. Curtin became R., C., & J. Curtin. That firm continued until 1874, when the younger generation succeeded them and John moved to this place, where he remain- ed until the time of his death. He was married to Julia A. Barnhart, a daughter of judge Henry Barnhart, in 1838. They celebrated their golden wedding in 1888 and she diel in September, 1890. Of their family four children survive, name- ly : Margery I. Curtin, Bellefonte ; Sara C. Larimer, of Omaha ; Harry R., of Curtins Works, and J. G., of Philadelphia. James B. Curtin, another son, died in 1890. Two sisters also survive him, they are Miss Julia Curtin and Mrs. Nannie Clark, both of’ Philadelphia. Funeral services were conducted at his late home, on Monday afternoon, by Rev, Dr. Stephens of the Methodist church. The remains were taken to the Eagle cemetery, at Curtin’s Works, for burial, deceased hav- ing heen one of the incorporators of that ground. I ll ll ANOTHER HISTORIC CHARACTER HAS PASSED AWAY.—In the death of John I. Thompson, at Martha Furnace, last Friday morning, the last but one of the older Thompsons has disappeared and Dr. James Thompson, of Washington, D. C., remains the only living child of Gen’l. John Thomp- son, who came into this county, in 1809, and located near the old Presbyterian church, on ‘‘Slab Cabin Branch, southwest of Lemont. Deceased was of Scotch-Irish descent, his great-grand-father Thompson having emigrated from the north of Ireland about 1845, and his great-grand-father, on his mother’s side, Matthew Loudon, being one of the persecuted Scotch Covenanters. He was born on the farm on ‘‘the Branch,”’ in 1818, and remained there until 1857, when he purchased Martha Furnace from the Curtins and moved to that place to manage the iron industry there. He was married to Miss Mary Kyle, of Mifflin county, their union having been blessed with several children, three of whom survive, namely : Budd and Mrs.. Jennie Henry, of Martha, and Mrs. Nora Thompson, of Stormstown. John I. Thompson was a splendid type of conscientious manhood. ‘Though impul- sive in his temperament he was the soul of honor and leaves a memory that his chil- dren may be proud tocherish. Funeral ser- vices were held at his home, on Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, and interment was made in the Presbyterian cemetery at Port Matilda. Rev. Dr. Laurie, of this place, and Rev. D. I. Jones were the officiating clergymen. I I i George S. Gearhart, a very reputa- ble citizen, of Decatur township, Clearfield county, died on Saturday morning at the age of 63 years. He had been ill for a long time with cancer of the stomach and the last days of his illness were marked by most excruciating suffering, all of which he bore with christian fortitude. Deceased is survived by a widow and eleven chil- dren. He was a member of the Gearhart- ville Free Methodist church, and the fu- neral services were held there on Monday afternoon. He was a son of the venerable David Gearhart, Esq., of Chester Hill. DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE PHILIPSBURG ‘WoMAN.—Cancer of the liver, with which she had suffered about three months, caused the death of Mrs. Margaret Jones, in Phil- ipsburg, on Saturday evening. Mrs. Jones was born near Stormstown, on May 27th, 1825. Her maiden name was Margaret Rye and in 1847 she was married to Benjamin Jones, at Centre Line. Two years later they removed to Tyrone, where they lived until 1861 when they went to Philipsburg, which has been their home ever since. She had been a member of the Presby- terian church for years and was possessed of a sweetness of character that made her home the ideal one. She is survived by her husband and five children, viz : O. P. Jones, cashier of the Philipsburg national bank; Mrs. Jones Perks, Lott Jones, Miss Mary and Dwight M. Jones, all of Philips- burg. Funeral services were held at her late home on Tuesday afternoon. I I I SUDDEN DEATH OF BENJAMIN F. HoLTkR.—The unexpected death of Benja- min F. Holfer, at his home, at Howard, last Monday evening, proved a shock not only to that community but to many oth- ers as well, for he was known in all parts of the county. Neuralgia of the heart caused his death as he was entering his home. He had been working most of the day, but got to feeling so bad that he quit and started for his house. He was just on the threshold when the neuralgia reached his heart and he fell dead. Deceased was born July 7th, 1831, and had been a resident of Howard for thirty- eight years. It was from there that he en- listed in the war, Sept. 21st, 1861, and served part of the time with Burnside’s corps until he was mustered out in 1864. His enlistment was with Co. A, 45th Reg., P. V. for most of his service but, in 1863, he was transferred to Co. I, 17th Reg., invalid corps. During his service he fought in the engagements at Fredericksburg, South Mountain, Antietam and the seige of Vicks- burg. He was a member of the Union Vet- eran Legion of Centre county and of Grove brothers post, G. A. R., of Howard. His burial was made from the Methodist church, of which he was a zealous member, yester- day afternoon. Rev. A. P. Wharton offi- ciated and the burial was made with hon- ors of war. He is survived by nine children, namely: Mary Holter, Jennie Holter, Susan Holter, Josie Holter, Fannie Holter, Elmer Holter, Mrs. James Kane, Mrs. Linn Pletcher, all of Howard, and Ambrose Holter, of Clin- dale. I li i DIED SUDDENLY IN TYRONE. — While making her regular morning call on her daughter, Mrs. Henry Myers, of Tyrone, was stricken with paralysis, on Sunday, and died that night, without having regained the use of her faculties. She was 63 years old and is supposed to have been some- what effected by the shock of the accident by which her brother, Samuel S. Krider and his wife, were hurt on the rail-road below Tyrone last week. The deceased’s maiden name was Nancy Krider. She was born in Warriorsmark valley, a short distance from the village of Warriorsmark, on the 24th of August, 1834, and at death was 63 years, 4 months and 29 days old. In the same valley she was married to Henry Myers on the 14th of February, 1855. They removed from the Cross Roads to Tyrone in the year 1867, and have resided there since that time. Besides her husband the deceased is survived by three children viz: Mrs. W. T. Canan, of Tyrone ; Harry K. Myers, of Philadelphia, and Allen C. Myers. Four brothers and only one sister survive. Among them are Chilion D. Krider, of this place, and Mrs. Mary Mattern, widow of the late John B. Mattern, of Buffalo Run, Centre county. I ll I MRs. JosSEPH EpMIsTON DIED IN How- ARD HospiTArn.—Nancy C., wife of Joseph B.. Edmiston, of College township, was taken to Philadelphia, last Monday morn- ing, to undergo an operation for a tumor- ous growth on the spleen. She died during the operation that was performed at How- ard hospital on Wednesday afternoon and her remains will be brought home this morning. Dr. J. Y. Dale, of Lemont, ac- companied Mrs. Edmiston to the city. She was about 50 years old and is sur- vived by her husband and four children. Mrs. Edmiston was a sincere member of the Methodist church and will live in the memory of those who knew her as an ainia- ble, christian woman. No arrangements have been made for the funeral, as yet. i I ne ——The failing health of a number of years resulted in the death of Charles Kreamer, at the home of his brother Luth- er, at Woodward, on Saturday morning. He had suffered with pulmonary trouble for a long time, but with heroic determi- nation he had worked up to within the last few days of his life. He was 49 years old, unmarried, and was buried in the Wood- ward cemetery on Tuesday. I I I ——Finis Reuben Thomas, colored, a son of John Thomas, of Tyrone, died from poeumonia on Sunday afternoon. He had been sick about ten days and was 8 years old. John Thomas was formerly a resident of this place. : *Ge One of the funniest novelties that has ever been produced by home talent at Garman’s will be put on the night of the Undine band benefit, ‘when ‘‘Der Lieder Krantze,’’ a trio of German musical special- ty artists will make their debut. It will certainly prove a very taking feature. A Famous HUNTER HAS GONE WEST. —It is not often that you hear of a man 71 years old traveling clear across the conti- nent to take up a government homestead claim and when one starts from so near home as Black Moshannon he becomes an object of interest in this locality. The Philipsburg Journal says: ‘Palmer Elliott, the well known hunter of Black Moshannon, returned, Tuesday morning, to Anacortes, Washington, to look after a tract of land, embracing 160 acres, which he took up in 1889, and on which he re- mained five years in order to secure a deed and to entitle him to the ownership of the same. His land is covered with fir and cedar timber, from which he expects to realize quite handsomely, and is located on the Cypress Island. His house, he tells us, faces the rapidly growing town of Anacortes which is now about the size of Philipsburg, and which has one of the finest steam boat landings along the Puget Sound, and at which point steamships from San Francisco visit every few days. Mr. Elliott is 71 years of age, and has lived at Black Moshannon for 33 years. He has been a great traveler, and tells us that he has been in 38 States, coming to this part of the country from the South, but having been born in Wayne county. He has mostly followed lumbering and farm- ing, but is famous as a hunter, and can re- late many wonderful experiences. He has killed 25 bear and over 1,000 deer, to say nothing of other game. ———— THE UNDINE BAND BENEFIT.—Next Tuesday night, February 1st, the Undine band will give its second annual benefit concert. Last year the benefit was some- what of an experimental nature, but proved 80 bright in its arrangement and delightful in its entertainment that considerable en- thusiasm was excited over it. This year the band will do more—far more—than it did the last and one of the most pleasing musical entertainments that the town has ever heard can be expected. The Undine band is a good musical organi- zation and practically the only one in the town. Itis always ready to respond at public ceremonies and makes music worth hearing when it does turn out. Few people realize what a boon a good band is to a community. It affords pleas- ure to all classes and for the most part it is free as the air you breathe. The Undine band is a good one and merits your support. No musical organization can exist without some fands and now that the Undines need something more substantial than your plaudits, are you going to give it them ? Don’t labor under the delusion that it will be an act of giving without a return, for you will be disappointed if you do. The band is going to give you a concert, and a good one. Something worth every cent it costs you to hear. re Armee W. F. REEDER AND HENRY C. QUIG- LEY FORMED A PARINERSHIP IN LAW. —On Wednesday Col. Wilbur F. Reeder and Henry C. Quigley Esq., formed a co- partnership for the practice of law in the several courts of Centre county and the new firm will be known as Reeder & Quigley after February 1st. Neither one of the gentlemen are strang- ers to the profession in this county ; in fact the new firm includes one of our most emi- nent attorneys and another who, though younger in practice and years, has already shown himself a worthy associate for Col. Reeder. Mr. Quigley was a student at The Penn- sylvania State College and left that insti- tution to enter the United States Military academy at West Point, where he remained one year, returning to enter the office of the old law firm of Hastings & Reeder. He was admitted to the bar in April, 1891, and has since devoted “his entire time to the practice of his profession. He was the nominee of the Republican party for dis- trict attorney in 1895 and was defeated by only seventy votes. Since the establish- ment of the board of health for Bellefonte he has been its very efficient secretary and is reputed one of the most promising of the younger attorneys at the bar. — A GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN THE TELE- PHONE SERVICE.—Within six weeks, if the weather continues favorable, there will be completed such an extension of the lines of the Central Pennsylvania Telephone company in this county as will give our people a vastly improved service. The lines are to be extended to Millheim, Rebersburg, Madisonburg, Aaronsburg and Coburn, with all of which places metallic circuit, or long distance phone connection, will be made. In order to handle the lines to the greatest satisfaction of the cus- tomers an exchange will be installed at Centre Hall, with two operatives, and that whole valley will be made independent of the Bellefonte exchange, yet controlled by it, and the patrons on this side will be able to talk to any of those points without ex- tra charge. The work will be pushed forward at once, so that the service can be begun at the earliest possible moment. , _—— a THE OFFICERS FOR THE GAS COMPANY. —The various interests of the Bellefonte gas company were represented at an annu- al meeting, in John M. Dale’s office, in Temple Court, on Saturday, when the fol- lowing officers were elected for the ensu- ing year: Hugh 8. Taylor, superintendent, and Henry Brockerhoff, secretary. Mr. John P. Harris having resigned as treasurer of the company, Mr. Charles McCurdy was chosen to fill the vacancy. ee ai — ——At a special meeting of council, on Monday night, 1,000 feet of cotton-jacket- rubber lined hose was purchased for the Bellefonte fire department at a cost of $700. ——A slight fire damaged the roof of G. D. Ray’s bakery, in Mill Hall, on Tues- day morning. foe ——John Shank, of south Allegheny street, has sold his old wagon making shop, at Warriors-mark, to C. F. York. — he ——William H. Miller has been ap- pointed post-master at Axe Mann to suc- ceed Henry Meyers. Willard S. Meyer has been appointed post-master at Lamar. ————— be —— Squire J. H. Reifsnyder, of Mill- heim, is contemplating a trip to Florida soon. He will take the sea voyage from Baltimore and hopes it will improve his health. tarsi seeing ——The Undine concert, on Tuesday night, February 1st, will be one of the musical events of the season, so far as local talent has been concerned. The band will be heard at its best that night and the de- lightful surprise it gave at the last concert is not to be compared with what awaits you next Tuesday night. ® rr Qf pres News Purely Personal. —Andrew Jackson Griest Esq., of Unionville, was in town on Tuesday. —A. 8. Allen was one of a trio of Boalsburgers who were in town, Wednesday, enjoying them- selves, —Joseph Ceaders and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Robert Gilmour, were in Pittsburg this week on a business trip. t —Edward K. Rhoads and his sister, Miss Rebecca, came home, to-day, from a two weeks stay in Philadelphia. —Mr. and Mrs. C. F. York, of Warriors-mark, spent Sunday with Mrs. York’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Noll, on north Allegheny street. —George L. Jackson and Mame Ceaders were among the Bellefonters, who heard Sousa’s band in Tyrone, on Wednesday. The concert was fine, but very short. —Miss Bertha Laurie arrived home, Tuesday, from a pleasant visit in Philadelphia with her sister Miss Jessie and other friends in Philadel- phia and Philipsburg. —John Kline Esq., of Curtin street, returned from Philadelphia, on Tuesday morning. His condition is ‘slightly improved, though no opera- tion was performed for his relief while he was in the hospital. —Mrs. William Crawford, of Coleville, with her two youngest children, went to Millmont, on Monday, to spend a week with her sister. Were it not for the two bright daughters she leaves at home, the eldest of whom is twelve years, “Billy” would have to be keeping house for himself. —Peter Smith Esq., of Centre Hill, spent Mon- day in Bellefonte, and while here favored the Warcnmax office with an agreeable call. He does not come to Bellefonte as frequently as he used to and this was the first time he hai been here since breaking his leg, over a year ago. —Harry McDowell, of Abdera, was in town on Wednesday making preliminary arrangements for the sale of his father’s, Hon. P. W. McDowell's, farm stock. The sale will occur on March 15th at the senior McDowell's home at Mackeyville, after which he will move up to Abdera and make his home with Harry. —Burdine Butler, politician, “armer, stockman and all-around lively fellow, of Howard, spent Saturday in this place looking after a little busi- ness. Burdine is still a staunch silverite and thinks “she iz bound to come.” Hé is of the opinion that silver will be the issue of 1900 and he hopes tolive to see it win. Dr. T. O. Glenn writes from his new home at Rixford, McKean county, that while Boalsburg was a pleasant place in which to reside he thinks he made no mistake when he moved to Rixford. His friends up Buffalo Run and at State College will be pleased to learn that he has been quite successful in his practice in the oil regions. —Former sheriff John P. Condo, of Millheim, was a visitor in town on Wednesday. He came up to look after some business in the county seat and call on his many friends here. Mr. Condo is doing a nice mercantile business in Millheim and says he has nothing to complain of. Ifhe runs his store as well as he did the office of sheriff it is not to be wondered at that he is doing well. —The venerable Robert McKnight, of Fillmore, was in town on Monday and his visit proved a pleasant surprise to his hosts of Bellefonte friends. He had been very ill most of last fall, but aside from being weak appears none the worse of his long siege of confinement. If he lives two days longer he will be eighty years old and we know that there is no one but that will wish him many more years of healthfulness. —Squire Archey, of Pine Grove, was in town on Saturday and judging from the anxiety he had to get to his train on time we are of the opinion that he thinks Pine Grove a far better place to Sunday than Bellefonte. The time he missed his train in Tyrone and had to walk the sixteen miles over the ties has taught him that it is better to be a few minutes ahead ot the schedule than a few seconds behind it. —Mrg, Barbara Rankin, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Harter and postmaster Foriney and his wife, have gone to Harrisburg to attend the coming out party Governor and Mrs. Hastings will give for their daughter, Helen, this evening. Adeline Harris, who has been a guest at the executive mansion for two weeks, will receive with Gov. and Mrs. Hastings, Helen and a number of young ladies from difterent parts of the State. —Our friend Jacob Dunkle Esq., of Hublers- burg, drove up from his home yesterday in a buggy and was quite surprised to find that we have so much snow here. He is of the opinion that we have far more of the beautiful than they have down Nittany valley. Mr. Dunkle is one of the old-school gentleman and that means that he is one of the very nicest men anyone could wish to know. He has been a reader of the Warcumax ever since the first number was issued. —J. B. Roan, of Buffalo run, better known in Bellefonte as “Jerry,” was in town yesterday all “diked” out as if he were one of those kid-glove farmers. He isn’t, though, for Jerry is one of the hardest working, most practical of the many good ones who can be found along the Buffalo run and his fine farm, 3 miles west of Bellefonte, bears out our assertion. He is of the opinion that the com- missioners have got it into their heads that it is finer than it really is for they have jumped the valuation away up on him. There will be a settle- ment on Monday, when the appeal for Benner township will be held. —Mr. W. A. DeLong, of Blanchard, spent Mon- day in Bellefonte and during the transaction of the business that brought him up he took a no- tion” to subseribe for the Warciiman, It has been seventeen years since he has been married and when single, at home, he always had access to his father’s copy, but after going to housekeeping for himself he did not have it, so he just ordered it for himself. Mr. DeLong is one of the men Who can tell you how valuable insurance is. His house and most of his goods were burned last fall, short- ly after his insurance policy had run out. He had allowed it to expire with the intention of changing agencies, but before he attended to the change the fire burned him out. It is need- less to say that he needs no more experiences of such a costly nature to keep his insurance in force all the time. THE JUDGE OF ELECTION IN HARRIS TowNsHIP. — At the spring election in 1897 the voters of Harris township elected Mr. Henry Potter as judge of election. Under ordinary conditions he should have served at the election, in November, 1897, and concluded his tenure of office by serv- ing as judge of the election to be held next month. As it bappened Mr. Potter became ill the night before the election last fall and was incapacitated. It was too late to have the court appoint a substitute so the majority inspector appointed ex-associate- judge Thomas Riley, which appointment was regular under the law. The question has come up now as to which one ought to preside at the election next month. Mr. Potter has recovered his health, and, unless again taken ill, will be ready to perform the duties for which he was elected. We understand that there has been considerable discussion on the question over in Harris township, but we are unable to understand why Mr. Riley’s appintment should be constructed in any other than a purely temporary light. In an interview with his honor, judge Love, on the question he gave it as his opinion that the regularly elected judge, if he be in condition to serve, is the one who should preside at the February election. age MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- phan’s court clerk, G.

The experience of those who have used the Warcnmax Sale Bills and “Register” in the past has been so gratifying that we have no hesitancy in proclaiming them the best advertising medi- ums in Centre county for Public Sales. Within the last few years a record has been kept of the cash receipts and gross amounts of the sales for which the advertisements have been left with this office and in every case better results have been reported than from corresponding sales ad- vertised by other places.
