——The Philipsburg Ledger began its
fifteenth year on April first and a tidy
semi-weekly it has grown to be. Next year
will be the last of the Ledger's birthdays to
be heard of; not that we predict a calamity
for it, for, in truth, we hope that it will
grow and flourish like the proverbial green
bay tree, but we fear that that feminine
failing that attacks nearly every girl will
pass from the fair editress to the Ledger
and it will have no more birthdays after it
is sixteen.
Miss Agnes Wagner has the agency
for the only authorized history of the
“Beautiful Life of Frances E. Willard”
and is now selling the work hy subserip-
tion. It is proving a ready seller because
1t is bound so nicely, printed on fine an-
tique paper, with large, plain type and pro-
fusely illustrated. The sale of the book is
intended to put funds into the hands of
the National temperance organization and it
would not only be encouraging a deserving
young woman, but be helping along a great
work by purchasing the book that is full
worth the price of subscription.
CouNcCILMANIC DoINGS.—Eight mem-
bers of council were present on Monday
night when the regular semi-monthly
meeting was called to order to transact the
following business :
Charles Tripple the new member from
the West ward was sworn in after which
communications were heard. Daniel Sny-
der, of North Allegheny street, appeared to
know what council purposes doing in ref-
erence to his request for an alley at the
rear of his lot. He was informed that the
Street committee had been given power in
the matter and would act just as soon as it
was thoroughly investigated. Harris Heyl-
mun was the next complainant to be heard.
He announced that his father, having rented
the Curtin property, corner of Allegheny
and Howard streets, was desirous that
council rebuild the fence at the rear, which
had been taken down when the new pub-
lic building was in course of construction.
Under the fence law council will have to
erect one half of this fence.
Jacob Runkle’s request for permission to
erect an awning over the pavement in front
of his store on the northeast corner of the
Diamond was granted. His awning is not
tobe a solid one. It will be a skeleton
frame, with a rolling canvas cover.
The Street committee reported the clean-
ing of several streets and alleys and the
general spring cleaning up in progress.
The Water committee reported everything
in that department in good order and asked
for a small appropriation for flowers and
shrubs to beautify the small park about
the spring. Council very commendably
made the appropriation and while it was
at it the Street committee should have been
instructed to plant the trees which the Vil-
lage Improvement society is so anxious to
provide for the walk from High street to
the Spring. The failure of council to act
on this suggestion is really a surprise.
There is no quarter of the town that needs
beautifying more than Water street and
there is nothing that would add more to
it or be more permanent than a row of
elms.
At the suggestion of Mr. Gerberich, H.
B. Pontius was appointed water assessor
for the year. Permission was given to
Wallace Keeler to sprinkle on Allegheny
street and to George Gross to sprinkle on
High street during the summer months.
It was reported that William Gares had
declined to act as a supply police. Wil-
liam insists on being on the force as a regu-
lar or not at all.
Overpaid taxes to the amount of $9.90
were ordered refunded to Mrs. Catharine
Fennell of the West ward. With this done
council listened to overseer of the poor
Daniel Eberhart who wanted to know why
it is that when men are given poor or-
ders and put to working on the streets the
poor department is not re-imbursed from the
street appropriations.
The question is a knotty one and has
heen hefore council a number of times.
To the ordinary mind it is six of one and
half a dozen of the other, for the tax pay-
ers have to make up both amounts any
way. The real contest lies in the desire of
both poor and street departments to keep
their respective millage as low as possible.
If the street department would re-imburse
the poor department for the work done by
it the latter could get through with a less
millage, but the former would have to lay
more. Then the street department insists
that it can employ more efficient labor at
the same price that the poor department
sends it the most inefficient, but the latter
answers and says: We don’t ask you to
pay our men by the day, simply pay them
for what they actually do ; and there the
controversy rests.
‘What should be done, however, is to
make every able man or boy who receives
one cent of aid from the borough work it
out on the streets, whether the poor de-
partment pays for it, or the street depart-
ment. This would certainly make a saving
in the street expenditures and it would re-
duce taxation to that extent. We would
like to see Messrs. Everhart and Trafford
inaugurate a reform in this matter ; wheth-
er council co-operates with them or, not.
Require every man or boy who gets aid to
work it out on the streets. No matter
how much council objects take a section of
a street and fix it up with tfeir own men
and the tax payers will back them up.
Though there is no warrant of law for it
the common sense and economy of the
move would recommend it to everyone.
After approving bills to the amount of
$925.52 council adjourned.

BouGHT THE KERSTETTER BAKERY.—
On Tuesday night a deal was closed be-
tween W. R. Runkle, agent for J. P. Gep-
hart, and John Harrison by which the
former transferred to the latter the bakery
and confectionery of Web Kerstetter, on
Bishop street. Mr. Harrison will restock
the store and keep it going on a fine scale.
He will employ an expert cake and bread
baker, so that he will be able to cater to
the trade in a satisfactory manner.
It is Mr. Harrison’s present intention to
give up teaching, as the work is too con-
fining for his health. If he does this he
will devote his entire energy to making
his new store go and will very likely suc-
ceed.

MORRISON--PARKER.—The marriage of
W. Galer’ Morrison, former recorder of
Centre county, and Miss Mabel M. Parker,
of Roland, was celebrated at the home of
the bride’s father, J. M. Parker Esq., on
Monday evening at 6 o’clock.
Only the immediate friends and relatives
of the bride and groom were present to wit-
ness the ceremony which was performed
by Rev. A. P. Wharton, of the Methodist
church. It was very simple, but pretty ;
the bride looking particularly sweet in a
traveling suit of light brown covert cloth.
She was given away by her father and at-
tended by Miss Katharyn Parker, a sister
of the bride, and Miss Velta Williams, a
cousin of the groom. The maids wore
reseda green and blue silk gowns with
cream trimmings. The parlor of the Parker
home was artistically decorated with
arbutus and other spring flowers.
A wedding supper was served imme-
diately after the ceremony, and then an
informal reception was held after which
they were driven to this place, where Mr.
Morrison had a cosy home already furnish-
ed for his bride.

TIRED OF LIFE BuT FAILED As A
SuIicIDE.—The town of Howard was thrown
into a fever of excitement last Friday
morning by the attempted suicide of Mrs.
Mary Miller. The woman had been suf-
fering with melancholy for some time and
had frequently lamented the fact that she
had no home. She brooded over the mat-
ter until her mind evidently became un-
balanced and the attempt to destroy her
life resulted.
She had been living with Mrs. Conrad
Long, in Howard, as a nurse and com-
panion, ever since last summer, having
gone to Howard from the lower end of
Nittany valley, and though she was more
or less morcse no thought was entertained
by any one that she would be rash enough
to resort to such an extremity as suicide.
Soon after they had breakfast, on Friday
morning, Mrs. Long missed Mrs. Miller.
She called her repeatedly, but no response
greeted her calls. When she had waited
until she could not understand what was
keeping her companion from her side she
went to the kitchen, thence to the summer
kitchen, where a horrifying sight awaited
her. Dangling by a heavy rope that had
been fastened to a joist above hung the
limp body of Mrs. Miller by her neck. Life
was apparently extinct and Mrs. Long was
unable to take the body down, so she ran
to her porch and called Mr. Rishel, the
miller at Long’s mill, who went to her
assistance. After the rope had been cut
physicians were summoned and the work of
resuscitation begun. It was hard work,
but after they had been at it for a few min-
utes signs of returning life were discovered
which encouraged them to renewed efforts.
Finally she was brought to life and seemed
rather disappointed that her attempt to die
had been frustrated.
Mrs. Miller is about 65 years old, a widow
and is a native of Nittany valley and has
had a pleasant home at Mrs. Long’s, who
is a widow also and enjoyed having her as a
companion. It is quite clear that des-
pondency so unsettled her mind as to lead
her to believe that the surest escape from a
life in which there seemed so little for her
was by the rash means she resorted to.
DEATH OF MRS. KEPHART.—The death
of Mrs. J. Miles Kephart, at her home in
West Philadelphia, on last Friday morn-
ing, was an unexpected sorrow to her friends
here, who had no idea that she was danger-
ously ill. She had not been well for sev-
eral weeks but nothing serious was appre-
hended till the Saturday before her death,
then her sister, Mrs. Butts, went down and
after bronchial pneumonia developed she
suffered greatly. She was buried on Mon-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock in the family
burying ground at Milroy.
As Emma Graham she is remembered by
the older residents as ove of the most heau-
tiful girls that ever visited the town. At
that time her father, Walter Graham, kept
hotel at Milroy, which seemed far closer to
Bellefonte then than it does now, for it was
our nearest railroad station and one of the
principal posts of the old stage route, and
in the two counties there was not a young
women better known or more admired for
her graciousness and gentleness. After the
death of her father and mother she mar-
ried MeClellan Wakefield and lived in
Lewistown until he died. Then she came
here and made her home with her sister,
Mrs. Butts. Her marriage, on the 25th of
March, 1890, to J. Miles Kephart was the
culmination of a romance that had its be-
ginning many years ago, and their devo-
tion and love for each other has been re-
markable. When Miles secured a position
in the Mint they moved to Philadelphia
and since then have had a comfortable
house on Market street, where they have
entertained most kindly many of their
friends.
She was 56 years of age. a Presbyterian
and a member of Dr. White's church at
Milroy. Her husband, her sister and her
neices and nephews are her only surviving
relatives, but many will hear of her death
with sadness. .

DEATH OF THE OLDEST MAN IN THE
County. —When Jonathan Tressler Sr.,
died at his home at Linden Hall, last Fri-
day, an old patriarch, indeed, had answered
the final summons. He was born in Berks
county, May 21st, 1801, consequently his
age was 96 years, 10 months and ten days.
He came to Centre county in 1828 and
located in Brush valley, where he remain-
ed some time, but later he moved to Lin-
den Hall, where he haslived ever since and
where his frugal habits, untiring energy
and strict integrity bore fruit in a fine
home and a position of affluence.
His connection with the Evangelical
church covered a period of seventy-five
years and it was largely the fruit of his
labor that built the old church at Linden
Hall thirty years ago.
He is survived by four children : Isaac
and Daniel, of Linden Hall, at the home
of the former he died ; Mrs. Duck, of Cen-
tre Hill, and Joseph, of Pleasant Gap.
Rev. Romig, of Rebershurg, offiziated at
his funeral, on Monday, and it was one of
the largest seen in that community in
many years.

ONE OF PHILIPSBURG’S OLDEST RESI-
DENTS GONE.—Early Sunday evening Wm.
Allen Faulkner, aged 87 years, died at the
home of his son, former judge C. A. Faulk-
ner, in Philipsburg. He had been in a
feeble condition for several years, but
neuralgia of the heart was the cause of his
death.
Deceased was a native of Massachusetts.
Having located in Philipsburg in 1856, he
has been identified with that town ever
since. At one time he was proprietor of
the famous old Moshannon hotel. The
judge and Mrs. B. Frank Morgan, of State
College, are his surviving children.
Funeral services were held on Tuesday
afternoon.

——The news of the death of Harry
Grove, the only son of J. B. Grove, of East
Liverpool, Ohio, was received here Monday
morning. He died in Somerset where he
has been working for some time and was
buried at that place. The Groves formerly
lived in Bellefonte and when here Harry
was employed in P. F. Keichline’s cigar
store in the Brockerhoff house. He died
of nervous prostration. Harry Walkey, a
cousin, went out to the funeral from here.
I li I
Measles and pneumonia were the
cause of the death of Vertie, the youngest
daughter of N. W. Ream, of Penn’s Cave.
She died last Friday afternoon ; having
been sick just a week. She was seven
years old. Interment was made Monday
morning.

Mrs. E. N. Crain, who was a Miss
Kate Caldwell, of this place, before her
marriage, died in Altoona last Friday and
was buried Sunday.

AX EVENT OF INTEREST AT THE GLOBE.
—The high estimation in which the mil-
linery department of the Globe is held by
the ladies of Bellefonte was well attested
by the throngs which visited that establish-
ment on last Monday and Tuesday, the
dates of their annual millinery spring open-
ing. The keen interest displayed by the
delighted visitors amply repaid Mr. Katz,
and his corps of assistants for their untir-
ing efforts to make this display a ‘‘Red
Letter” day in the history of their estab-
lishment. :
Miss Lanier, who has charge of this de-
partment, represents the highest perfection
of millinery art. The artistic taste dis-
played in arranging the various articles
which tend to make a handsome hat and
the superb blending of colors, made it very
difficult to make a choice from the many
beautiful hats exhibited.
The extreme affability with which visit-
ors were received and entertained was not
the least part of this delightful opening.
ARRESTED ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.—On
Monday a deputy United States Marshal
arrested Jacob From at his home, in Centre
Hall, and took him to Williamsport, where
he was charged with extracting money
from a letter addressed to another person
that he had lifted at the post-office and
also with sending obscene matter through
the mail. From gave bond for his ap-
pearance for trial before the United States
circuit court and was released.
From what can be gathered by our cor-
respondent it appears that last September
Mrs. John From, of Ohio, came east on a
visit, and while here stopped to see
ber brother-in-law Jake From. A letter
containing money was sent to the Centre
Hall office for the woman and was handed
to From, who told the postmaster, Charles
Meyer, that she was stopping at his place.
Instead of delivering the letter to Mrs.
From, Jake is said to have broken the seal
and given the money free circulation, and
in addition wrote Mrs. From’s husband an
indecent letter concerning his wife.
The post-office authorities were advised
of this act and in a short time an agent of
the department came on to consult with
postmaster Meyer. Evidence was collected
at the time and since then sufficient has
been discovered to warrant From’s arrest,
which was made on Monday as stated.
Ex-postmaster Meyer accompanied the
Marshal to Williamsport as a witness.
From is a laboring man over at Centre
Hall and though he has been a pretty good
sort of a fellow, his past record will be
against him. Several times he has heen
hauled up for petty thieving and one night
he received a gun shot wound in the leg
that was generally believed to have been a
mark of the kind of reception he got while
prowling around some other person’s hen-
nery.

Farmington, Kansas.
—Mrs. Thomas Moore and daughter Helen and
Murs. Clayton Brown are in Philadelphia spending
Easter with Mr. Brown, who is located in that
city. They went down on Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Rebecca Pugh is home from her visit to
Atlantic City. Her sister-in-law, Mrs. Harry
Valentine, who went down with her, will remain
a month or two in hopes that the change will be
beneficial.
—J. Malcolm Laurie left for Scotland, on Wed-
nesday evening. Tt wasn’t curiosity to investigate
Ian McLauren’s “Bonny Brier Bush,” but to see
the home of his birth and say good-bye to his
sister who will be married while he is there and
start for South Africa. Mac expects to be gone
for two months.
—dJohn T. Fowler, of Martha, was a WaTcuMAN
office visitor Monday morning and as has always
been the case with him he saw to it before leaving
that his subscripticn figures were all right. He
has been a reader of the Warcuman almost since
the day it was started and certain it is that there
are no more intelligent or appreciative ones.
—Dave Kelley came home from Philadelphia,
on Monday morning, having resigned his position
as confidential clerk to Michael J. Cassidy, dep-
uty surveyor of the customs for the port of Phila-
delphia, which he had filled so satisfactorily for
four years. He came back to take A. Lester
Sheffer’s place as shipping clerk for A. G. Morris
here. Lester will go to Easton, where he will
take charge of a lime operation.
—Auctioneer Jos. L. Neff was in town a few
hours on Friday morning and enjoyed immensely
the little let up from the hard work he has been
doing crying sales ever since the early part of
February. There is no doubt anout Joe's being
the biggest auctioneer in the countyand when the
number of his sales and the amounts that he
realizes on them are considered there is no gain-
saying that he is one of the best.
—Former poor overseer Isaac Miller was liome
to spend Sunday with his family, but went back
to Erie Tuesday night, to remain there until
June. He is superintending the remodeling of the
home that C. P. Hewes Esq. will occupy in the
suburbs of that city and says it will be a beautiful
place when completed. Certain it is that no
more trusty mechanic could have been selected
for this work by Mr. Hewes.
—John Strouse, late of Taylor township, now a
resident of Benner, was in town on Friday taking
his first look around from the point of view held
by a farmer who lives only a mile and a half out.
He had just moved from the big John T. Fowler
farm in Taylor township, the day before, and said
that, though it took them fourteen years to drive
the moving down, his first impression of his new
purchase, the Shivery farm, just above Roops-
burg, was a good one. :
—Some people are of the opinion that an ex-
tensive correspondence is burdensome. We are
not «and wonld be perfectly willing to write a note
to every one of our readers if they would only
encourage us by writing first and enclosing a
little of the very necessary. Now such letters as
we have received within the last few days from
William Houtz, of Franklinville, and William H.
Limbert, of Wolf’s Store, are just the kind that
tickle and no one would object to answering them
with a receipt and a thank you.
—Saturday wasn’t the first of April but it was
the next thing to it so William Bickel, our old
friend down at Mill Hall, came to town to look
after some business, just as he has been doing so
methodically for the past sixteen years. He is
one of the crack farmers of that section and being
a progressive, wide awake man has been pro-
foundly convicted of the necessity of a change in
our currency if the condition of the farmer is to
be permanently effected. Well, you know _he
couldn’t have found a more congenial place to
talk such a theory than right here in the Warcn
uaN office and that accounts for the pleasant chat
we had on Saturday evening. While in town Mr.
Bickel always looks after some business for J. J.
McKibben, of Abdera, and George Berry, of
Mackeyville, both esteemed friends of ours, and
part of that business is to see that they are in the
front rank of our star subscribers.

—Rev. Dr. Colfelt, of State College,
preached to his old congregation at Broad
and Oxford street, Philadelphia, on Sunday
last. He has been ‘“‘officially’’ called back

where he can continue the good work he
has been doing up at the College.

——P. McCaffrey has heen re-elected
overseer of the poor and market clerk for
another year in Lock Haven. The best
evidence in the world that he must be con-
sidered the right man is shown in the fact
that though he has been a straight Demo-
crat all his life a Republican council
never hesitates to elect him.

——The post office at Tusseyville was
discontinued on March 31st and all the be-
longings transferred to the office at Potters
Mills. It was according to a departmental
