Several blood vessels having been severed it was some time before the bleeding could be stopped. ——O0Id Dr. Fredericks is nothing if not original. Some time ago he distinguished himself by getting hypnotized in front of Cruse’s cigar store and stood there for an entire day, in a state of total catalepsy, do- ing duty as an Indian. Yesterday morning the bright sunshine reflected a glass or so in his face and he went off again. This time he imagined Charles Saylor’s old wheel- barrow to be a swell road cart and reclined in it with all the indolent ease of a Sultan. Neither did he move as Charles took him riding out Water street at a break-neck speed. | J. HARVEY McCLURE SUDDENLY EX- PIRES.—Though he had lived beyond man’s allotted time the death of J. Harvey Mec- Clure was a great surprise to this commu- nity when it was announced at his home yesterday morning. He had been in his usual health all day Wednesday and was on the streets early in the evening, but at his luncheon he drank some cold milk that did not agree with him and soon after com- plained of feeling unwell. The family physician was called in and found him almost in a condition of collapse. He had been threatened with heart trouble for a vear or more and had suffered with slight cramps for twenty-four hours before he called the physician, as the result of dietary indiscretion. When the physician arrived he was able to give him some relief and finally the patient fell into a sleep, but when the family went to see how he was resting, at 3 o’clock, he was dead. Heart failure had caused it. . Deceased was born in Clinton county, near Salona, Jan. 4th, 1820, making his age 78 years. Having learned the saddlers trade with the elder Clark, in Mill Hall, he located in this place in 1840. He open- ed his first shop in a room located where Temple Court now stands, from there he moved across the street next door to the old Aull house, which stood where Joseph Bro’s. store is located and thence to ‘‘old Strychnine,”” where his store was de- stroyed in the fire that first wiped out that famous corner. After the fire Mr. McClure located on Spring street, where he built himself the building now occupied by his son James. Four years after coming to Bellefonte he married Sarah Riddle, a native of coun- ty Down, Ireland. She died about six years ago, leaving three sons to care for their venerable father. They are James I, and William M., of this place, and Charles, who is a ranchman near San Diego, Cal. During his active life Mr. McClure was recognized as a leader in Bellefonte. In fact, early in the sixties he, with Wm. McClelland, Nicholas Hillibish, John T. Johnston and others now gone, made up a group of prominent men of the town. Always a radical Republican he never sought office except some municipal trust with which his fellow citizens often honor- ed him. He was in council, over-seer of the poor and tax collector. Though zealous in politics his zeal in Methodism far sur- passed that. For more than fifty years he was a member of the church and died satisfied of his salvation. Funeral services will be held at his late home, on Spring street, to-morrow morn- ing at 10 o’clock. Rev. Dr. Stephens will officiate. li I I THE VENERABLE ABRAM HOUSER IS DEAD.—Abram Houser died at the home of his son, James Houser, on east Bishop street, this place, on Tuesday evening at 7:30. He had been failing a long time with troubles consequent upon old age and his death was not unexpected. Abraham Houser was born at Houserville, Feb. 8th, 1813. He was 85 years old and over fifty-six of these he has been a follower of Christ, as he joined the United Brethren church in 1842. His grandfather settled in Houserville, naming the town after his ancestors, in 1774, two years before the ‘‘Declaration of Independence’ was signed. His wife pre- ceded him to the grave six years ago. He leaves to mourn his loss four children, eighteen grandchildren and thirteen great- grandchildren. He also leaves two sisters and one brother. The names of his chil- dren are : Mrs. Lydia Hite, of Pittsburg; Mrs. Wm. Shreck, of Lemont; Mrs. Uriah Evey, of Shiloh, and James Houser, of Bellefonte. Short prayer services will be held at the Houser home this morning and then the body will be taken to Houserville, where services will be held in the U. B. church at that place. li li I KILLED BY OUTLAWS IN UTAH.—Word has just reached Bellefonte of the killing of Valentine S. Hoy, a wealthy stock-man of Lincoln, Nebraska, near Brown’s Park, Utah. Mr. Hoy was a native of Centre county, having been a son of Henry Hoy, an early day store keeper at Jacksonville. He was a cousin of Hezekiah Hoy, Mrs. John Rishel, Amos and John Garbrick, all of this county. Mr. Hoy went west early in the sixties, accompanied by his brothers Edward and James. He was one of the cattle kings of the north-west and owned great ranches in Utah. While he has lived in Lincoln for years it is supposed that he was out visiting his ranches when killed. The telegram from Vernal, Utah, dated March 3rd, states that one of the gang, named Bennett, had heen captured and the others were surrounded in the mount- ains with little prospect of their escape. Mr. Hoy was about 60 years old. ll I ll A Goop OLD MAN.—Mr. William Rob- inson, an aged and respected resident of Snow Shoe Intersection, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Michael Lebkecher, on Tuesday evening, after a ‘long illness, due to old age. For weeks and weeks he suffered terribly with dropsy and convul- sions, his heart not being able to supply his brain with blood, but always was most patient and considerate. He was 89 years old, a member of the Presbyterian church of this place, and a life long Democrat. His wife, Nancy Glenn, a member of the Ferguson township family of that name, is eighty four years old and until recently they were a remarkable couple for their years. For some years they have made their home with their daughter Emma, Mrs. Lebkecher, and their other child, Mrs. Mary Nyhart was near enough to them to spend every day with them. He was buried on Thursday morning at the Intersection. Rev. Wright, of Milesburg, conducted the services. DIED IN BEAVERTOWN.—Last Saturday the news of the death of John C. Smull reached his old home in Rebersburg, this county, from Beavertown, where he had died. Mr. Smull was for many years one of the most honored and most respected citizens of Rebersburg and it was with feelings of sincere sorrow that the news of his death was received there. The re- mains were brought back to his old home where the funeral took place, Tuesday forenoon, and was attended by a large con- course of relatives and friends. The ser- vices were held in the Lutheran church and Rev. Mumma preached the sermon. Mr. Smull was a tailor by trade which calling he had followed in Rebersburg for many years. He was always a true and staunch Democrat, never at any time wa- vering from, or doubting the justice of the principles of the party. He possessed a bright mind and a good memory and few were better informed in political matters. He was frequently elected to local offices and was postmaster at that place during both of Cleveland’s administrations. As an official he was strictly honest and pains- taking. His age was 75 years. His wife preceded him to the spirit world twenty years ago. He leaves to mourn his loss one son Ira, of Valley Falls, Kans., and two daughters, Miss Ida, of Chicago, and Mrs. Dr. Wolf, of Beavertown, at whose residence Mr. Smull died. Il I ll MRS. MARY MALLORY.—The death of Mrs. Mary Mallory occurred at her home in Altoona, on Friday morning, March 4th, after an illness of nearly a year with con- sumption. Deceased was born in Belle- fonte, November 14th, 1828, and was the widow of John Mallory who preceded her to the grave a number of years ago. Six children survive her. They are J. C., A. H. and H. B. Mallory, of Altoona; R. C. Mallory, of Osceola; Mrs. Charles Heverly and George Mallory, of Bellefonte. The remains were brought here on Monday morning, and burial was made from the home of Mrs. Charles Heverly, on Spring street, that afternoon. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian church and Dr. Stephens, of the Methodist, officiated. Mrs. Mallory will be remembered by many of the older residents of the town as a most estimable woman and during her many years of residence here made friends whose sincere sorrow at her death is in sympathy with the pall that has fallen over the bereaved family. ll I I ——Joseph C. Streamer, a prominent young business man of Philipsburg, died at the home of his parents, at Cribbs, West- moreland county, on Monday night. Mr. Streamer had not been in good health for some time, but his friends thought he was improving, when he left his clothing store and went to his parents’ home on a visit. There he died. The remains were taken to Philipsburg for burial. ll ll I —— Mrs. Alice J. Dare, mother of Mrs. N. KX. Dare, formerly of this place, and Mrs. Andrew Brockerhoff’s grand mother, died at her home in Newville, Pa., on Tuesday, and interment was made yester- day. She was in her 96th year. l I I ——Mrs. Edward Meese, aged 80 years, died at Coleville on Sunday. Interment was made in the Myer’s cemetery, Buffalo- run, on Wednesday morning. Rev. G. W. MclIlnay, of Pleasant Gap officiated. I ll ll ——Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Eskridge, of Philipsburg, are mourning the death of their infant son Roy, who died last Thurs- day with spinal meningitis, caused by teething. Re ——H. E. Herman, the eye specialist, will be at Galbraith’s, Bush house block, on Tuesday, March 15th. Pen ‘While C. P. Loveland, of Lock Hav- en, was driving to this place recently he lost his purse containing $40. He got up early next morning and drove back over the road and when near Curtin’s Works found it lying in the road. Several wheels had evidently passed over it but the contents were undisturbed. Eaeen ——At a Tyrone council meeting, on Monday night, the matter of a paid fire department was talked of. The next day a citizen wrote a letter to the Herald dis- couraging the idea because, as he showed, it would cost $1,745 per year to maintain one of the cheapest kind of companies and now they have three engine companies, a hook and ladder truck and a fire patrol, all volunteers, on $800 a year and very efficient service is had. ao ——The new tunnel under the five tracks of the main line of the Pennsylvania rail- road at the Tyrone station has been com- pleted and is now in use. At the one entrance it is twenty-two steps deep and at the other one twenty. The tunnel does away with all danger to life by obviating the crossing of the west bound tracks by passengers getting on or off east bound trains. The tunnel was built by Gall Bros.,, of Lancaster, and is lighted by electricity. ln gel ——~Constable Wm. J. Butler, of How- ard, arrested Frank Devitori, an Itahan fruit vender of this place, for cruelty to animals on last Friday. One day last week the Italian started on horseback for Lock Haven. When he got a short distance be- low Howard, he tied the animal to a tree in the woods, and jumped a freight train. The animal remained there in the cold storm for over two days without any food or shelter. The man was arrested and after agreeing to pay about $15 costs and take better care of the animal he was re- leased. He only paid $7.50 for the horse in the first place. AN ALL AROUND NIGHT FOR BURGLARS AT JERSEY SHORE.—Burglars had a high old time in Jersey Shore, on Monday night. Notwithstanding the bright moon-light and the constant passing to and fro of Beech Creek rail-road trainmen they pried open the front doors of five business places in that town and carried away money and everything else they got their hands on. The first place they entered was deaf and dumb Charles Stabley’s shoe shop. A shot from a revolver wouldn’t waken him, but they went to his bed and shook him until he got up, then took what small change he had and departed. The post- office was entered and a small amount of cash and some letters were carried off. Miller’s barber shop was robbed of a stock of razors and barber’s supplies and Sallada Bro’s store of cigars, shoes, etc. The last place they visited was Griffith’s restaurant, where they were eating oysters when the owner, who had heard them, opened fire with his revolver. They ran and are sup- posed to have left the place on a Beech Creek rail-road train. The men were fairly well dressed, tall and wore long overcoats. They were passed on the streets by several rail-road employees, but nothing was suspicioned. ee Gp mer eren Dr. H. C. HOLLOWAY INSTALLED AS PASTOR OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH.— Impressive and interesting services were held in the Bellefonte Lutheran church, on Sunday, when Dr. H. C. Holloway was formerly installed as pastor. The Lutherans of Bellefonte have been without a minister since the departure of Rev. Hoshour for Hanover, but have held services in their chuch just whenever they could get a supply. Some time ago Dr. Holloway, of Harrisburg, was here to preach for them and the congregation were so pleased with him that they decided to ex- tend him an invitation to accept the charge permanently. It was done and after mature deliberation he decided to come. The installation services were held in the morning. Rev. Dr. J. R. Dimm, presi- dent of the seminary at Selinsgrove, de- iivered the charge. He took for his text the words from Acts 20:28. Take heed therefore unto yourself and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost has made you over seer, to feed the church of Sod ion he has purchased with his own ood. Rev. C. L. McConnell, of Mifflinburg, delivered the charge to the congregation, his text having been from Galatians 6:6. Let him that is taught in the word com- municate unto him that teacheth in all good things. The hour for evening service was taken up by a memorial to David A. Day, de- ceased Lutheran missionary to Africa. eae Dr. LAWRENCE M. COLFELT RECEIVED IN THE PRESBYTERIAN MINISTRY AGAIN. —By a vote of 74 to 22 the Presbytery of Philadelphia decided, on Monday, to receive Rev. Lawrence M. Colfelt, who has held a chair in the faculty of The Pennsylvania State College for almost a year, as a candi- date for the ministry. Dr. Colfelt was examined as to his per- sonal experience and his call to the minis- try. For four hours his case was before the Presbytery, much of the time being taken up in discussing technicalities. Some of the members contended that, hav- ing once heen ordained, he was always a minister and his name should be enrolled as such, while others held that he must go through the same routine as any other can- didate for the ministry, making ordination necessary. The Presbytery adjourned that evening to reconvene next Monday, when it is sup- posed that a call from his old church at Broad and Oxford will be placed in Dr. Colfelt’s hands. ee meee UNITED EVANGELICAL APPOINTMENTS. —At the conference of the United Evan- gelical church, at Hughesville, last week, the following appointments were made : Presiding elder, A. Stapleton; Belle- fonte, C. H. Goodling ; Mileshurg, G. W. Heiney ; Howard, J. R. Sechrist ; Nittany, H. T. Searle ; Rebersburg, W. H. stover; Centre Hall, W. W. Rhoads ; Spring Mills, W. M. Brown; Millheim, J. J. Lohr; Sugar Valley, G. F. Garret. re ——The Presbyterian organ recital that is scheduled for Thursday evening, April 10th, promises to be more pretentious than was intended when it was first proposed. Mrs. Hayes, the organist, has secured Miss Winifred Newbaker, of Philadelphia, who is just home from home several year’s study abroad and is reputed to be very fine to play. In addition, several other eminent musicians will be on the program for that night. —— ——The new United Evangelical church, just completed at Linden Hall, will be dedicated on Sunday, March 20th. Among those who are expected to participate in the services are Bishop Stamford, of Harris- burg ; Dr. A. E. Gobble, of New Berlin ; Rev. C. H. Goodling, of Bellefonte ; J. J. Lohr, of Millheim ; and their pastor, W. W. Rhoades, of Centre Hall. The new church is a neat frame structure. So gp ——At a Methodist congregational meet- ing, in Philipsburg, on Sunday, it was unanimously voted to ask conference to send Rev. T. L. Tomkinson back to that place. r———eeee A - I. N. GorpoN WILL LOCATE IN JU- NEAU.—I. N. Gordon, better known as ‘“Newt’’ in his old home here, left Pitts- burg, last week, for Juneau, Alaska. For years he had been connected with the Fair- bank’s scale company, of Pittsburg, but resigned to locate in the gateway of the new Eldorado, where he will become resi- dent manager of the Last Chance gold min- ing company. ——The depositors of the defunct Gard- ner, Morrow & Co. bank, of Hollidaysburg, are to get 4 per cent on the dollar. —ede ——Benjamin Gentzel, of Spring town- ship, has gone to La Salle county, Ill., to buy a car load of draft horses. ——— re ——The Philipsburg Ledger reports that Hon.

Harter, editor of the Gazette, and judge John G. Love transacted business in Washington this week. It wouldn’t take a very long head to surmise what they were after. i ——DMillheim’s town council organized for the new year, on Monday night, by electing F. O. Hosterman, president ; H. E. Duck, clerk and A. Walter, treasurer. They made high constable, W. N. Auman, street commissioner, and appointed the various committees. News Purely Personal. —Miss Mary Copelin, of Tyrone, is the guest of Miss Emma Crider, of east Bishop street. —Hon. James North, gay and lively as ever, came over from Mifflin yesterday for a short visit to his daughter, Mrs. F. W. Crider. —Mr. and Mrs. George Marshall are entertain- ing their niece, Miss Jennie Klinger, of Lemont, at their home on west High street. —Miss Blanche Long, a daughter of Wm. Long, of Reynolds avenue, has gone to Altoona to ac- cept a clerkship in a store in that city. —Hard P. Harris and Clement Dale, Esq., are Bellefonters who have been enjoying the fine weather in Philadelphia this week. —John Schrom, after spending a few days at his home in this place, left for New York, on Wednesday, there to enter the service of the U. S. navy. He will ship on the monitor Terror. John is a graduate of the school ship Saratoga. —Sam Harpster, that hustling young Demo- cratic farmer from up at Gatesburg, was piloting his friend, Sectt Bressler, around town, on Satur- day. The two young men are both good fellows and met lots of people in town who were glad to see them. —A. A. Pletcher, of Nittany, was in town, on Saturday afternoon, informing his friends of his intention to enter the race for the prothonotary- ship. Alisa good Democrat and would make a competent official if he should be lucky enough to get the plum. —Michael Conley Esq., track foreman of the Bellefonte Central R. R. left for Gallitzin, on Tuesday afternoon ; there to take charge of a gang of men for F. H. Clément & Co., the con- tractors who are widening the old Portage tunnel for the Pennsylvania company. —Joe Barton, of Unionville, was in town on Monday and says he is not going back to Gram- pian Hills to run that store again, because the store is not there now. When Joe came down here to attend the January court the man who was left in charge neglected to look after the stove pipe and it fell down, burning the store. —Mr. J. J Garbrick, Mrs. Garbrick, Charley, John, Esther and Harry, in fact the whole family, were in town last Friday afternoon, having come in for the purpose of having a family photograph taken. Mr. Garbrick is one of Spring township’s most prosperous and representative farmers and has a fine home about a mile and & half below Pleasant Gap. He has a family, too, with which any father might be proud to have himself pictured. —Christopher McKinley, supposed to be forty- second cousin of the President and one of the really noted characters of Bellefonte, started for Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday afternoon, with a railroad ticket, $2.50 in cash and a bundle of lunch large enough to supply a Klondyke expe- dition. Christopher has a niece in Salt Lake who wanted him to go out there to work in a boiler works, so she sent him a ticket and he started. If the job is satisfactory he is to send for his family later. —G. W. Forrey dropped into town from Clyde, Ohio, on Monday morning, and while he was as silent as the grave as to what brought him here those who recognized him began to talk railroad at once. It will be remembered that Mr. Forrey was one of the engineers on the Central R. R. of Pa. survey and also helped run the proposed line of the Bellefonte and Clearfield road. He is a nephew of Samuel Brugger, the well known civil engineer of Unionville, and left that place for Ohio a year or more ago. It might not appear so to others, but Mr. Forrey’s return appears to us significant. —Mr. J. I. DeLong, one of our oldest subsecrib- ers, not in years of life but in the length of time he has taken the Warcumax, was a Bellefonte vis- itor on Monday. Mr. DeLong is ore of Liberty township’s best known men and has been identi- fied with the Eagleville hotel so long that few peo- ple who have ever traveled that way have not known him and been hospitably entertained in his house. It is quite probable, in fact almost a certainty, that he will move out of that town in the spring, for he is now building a tenant house on his fine farm that lies along the rich bottom land between the Pennsylvania station and Eagle- ville, with the view of moving onto the farm, there to spend, the rest of his days managing it. It is certainly a fine property and stretches along the banks of the Bald Eagle for a distance of a mile and a quarter. The management of such a place ought to afford him ample occupation and a comfortable income. —Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Fortney, of Boalsburg, were Bellefonte visitors on Wednesday and their arrival in town in the ‘‘big wagon’ brings to our notice the havoc the rail-roads through Buffalo Run, Nittany and Penn-valleys have played with trade in Bellefonte and travel hither by wagon or buggy. Neither Mr. Fortney nor the writer could be classed as old people, yet it was fresh within the memory of both that at one time “all roads led” to Bellefonte and during the winter season the town was jammed, day after day, with sleds bringing in grain and hauling away coal and pro- visions. The rail-roads have made a coal yard, grain elevator and good store possible at nearly every small town in these valleys so that Belle- fonte is no longer the Mecca of the country peo- ple and they come to see us only when they need something that they can’t get at home. Mr. and Mrs. Fortney are very pleasant people and en- joyed their trip immensely. He came down to get a load of lumber with which to build a porch to his house and she came along *‘for company,’ 80 she said, but really to spend a few hours in our stores, MERRY WEDDING BELLS.—The home of James Carson and family, about 1} miles east of Bellefonte, was the scene of a pretty wedding on Thursday, March 3rd. at high noon, when Miss Carrie V., fourth daughter of Mr. Carson was united in bonds of holy wedlock to Mr. John Spearly, of near Cur- tin’s Works. To the soft strains of Mendelssohn’s wed- ding march, played by Miss Anna Kline, the happy couple to be made one, marched into the parlor, attended by Mr. Clark Carson, brother of the bride, and Miss Bertha Armstrong, cousin of the bride. Rev. G. W. MeclIlnay, pastor of the Pleasant Gap circuit, spoke the words which with the proper responses made this couple one for life. The bride is well-known to the writer, and is a model young lady. The groom is an industrious young man of good habits. They start out in life with bright prospects of a happy voyage. Such may it be, is our wish. The following guests were present : Anna Kline, James Armstrong and family, Mrs. E. G. Bouse, Mr. and Mrs. Keister, Mr. and Mrs. Pletcher, Mr. and Mrs. John Korman, Mrs. Harry Lyons, James Flem- ing and daughter, Ida Carson, Clara Spear- ley, Mr. and Mrs. Will Conley and daugh- ter, Mr. and Mrs. Will Larimer, Mrs. R. G. Larimer, Mr. F. Garber and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. D. Wian, Mr. and Mrs. S. White, Miss Grace Blackford. The presents were many and were of such a character as to be both useful and ornamental. May many anniversaries of this happy event be celebrated by this couple. * — 0 AN EVENING WEDDING.—Mr. Charles Eckenroth was married, on Tuesday even- ing, to Mis. Elizabeth Kerlin, of Roops- burg. The ceremony was performed at the residence of Dr. H. C. Holloway, pastor of the’ Lutheran church, and was witnessed only by Mr. and Mrs. Osmer, intimate friends of the couple. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Ecken- roth went at once to their home, on How- ard street, where a brilliant reception was tendered them by Gregg post, of which the groom is an honored member. The members marched to the house in a body and made it right royal for the new bride and groom. The Undine band tendered them a serenade during the evening. >on MARRIAGE LICENSES.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- phans court clerk G. W. Rumberger dur- ing the past week : Daniel M. Stover, of Woodward, and Rebecca R. Guisewite, of Aaronsburg. Harry E. Smith and Katie Rossman, both of Woodward. Robert M.

Frank Humphrey, of Philipsburg, and Inez Hutchinson, of Rush Twp. James M. Hazel, of Spring Twp., and Nellie Spotts, of Bellefonte. ——Two young fellows struck Millheim last week and advertised to give an enter- tainment in the town hall. During the day they made pin money by selling the Millheim folk ‘fresh Florida peas,”’ that were nothing more than old peas that they had soaked in a tub of water up at the ho- tel before going out to sell them. ee aoa os ——Robert McCalmont, manager at the lime kilns of McCalmont & Co., who has been sick ever since the death of Col. Shortlidge, was reported much better yes- terday. He has been suffering with neu- ralgia.
