The contusion in the home here made by the packing up and getting the house re- paired for its new owners was so trying for her that her father took her to Newton Hamilton, where she will visit until the house at Lewistown is ready. Little Earnest, the fifteen months old child of Harry Wagner, who lives just opposite the Brockerhoff mill at Roopsbhurg, was playing on the floor at his home, Sun- day evening, when he caught hold of a chenille table cover and pulled a lighted lamp over onto himself. The burning oil ran all over the baby, burning him fright- fully and his father was seriously burned in his efforts to save the little one. At first it was thought that Earnest could not survive, but the family have hope for his recovery now. THE MYSTERIOUS DROWNING OF STAN- LEY BRACHBILL. — Pretty little Stanley Brachbill, gentle and sweet as ever a child could be, lies sleeping in death at the home of his mother, Mrs. J. C. Brachbill, on east Howard street, and the sad ending of his life is enshrouded in mystery. He left his home shortly before 6 o'clock Wednesday evening to carry supper to his brother Will, who is employed at the skewer factory, where they are so busy that the hoys do not have time to go home to their evening meals, but work right through until late at night. He reached his brother in safety and after staying with him a few minutes started to return home. He wanted to wait to accompany his brother home, but Will, thinking it would be too late for the little one, advised him to go back at once. When he left his brother’s side it was the last that was seen of him until his body was pulled out of the race at Gerberich, Hale & Co’s. mill yesterday morning at 2:45. When Will reached home about 9 o’clock Mrs. Brachbill inquired for Stanley, whom she thought must certainly have waited to accompany him home, and he was sur- prised to learn that his little brother had not been heard of since he had left with the supper pail on his arm. A search was begun at once. It was late for such a little fellow to be out and all became very un- easy. Every quarter of the town was visited, but no trace of the missing child could be found. The search was kept up until 1 o'clock when the searchers were about to give up until daylight ; and then Mr. Charles Shuey went up to the home of John Lose, an employe of W. R. Brachbill’s furniture store, to see if Stanley had been about there. He thought that perhaps the little fellow might have gone around to see his uncle and heen accidentally locked in the ware rooms. Mr. Lose had not seen him about the place, however, and Mr. Shuey gave up in dispair Then a strange thing happened. Mr. Lose had no sooner returned to his bed than a frightful specta- cle seemed to pass his mind. He saw the still water of the race and a little cap float- ing on it and then beneath its unruffled surface his wandering fancy penetrated still further until he saw Stanley’s dead body. The fancy seemed so real and so awful to him that he could not sleep. His wife tried to reassure him that it was only groundless imagination, but he could not rest. Accordingly he got up and went to Mr. Shuey’s house, where he told of his waking dream and that gentleman became convinced that there might be some reality in it. The two got a lantern and a rake and went down to the race. They examin- ed the banks all along to see if there were tracks or a mark where he might have slipped in, until they reached the entrance to the forebay at Gerberich, Hale & Co's. mill. The mill was not running and con- siderable drift had gathered at the screen. Among this Mr. Lose cast his rake. The third cast he caught the cap that Stanley had worn. The rest of the story was all too plain to them so they sent for officer Mullen, coro- ner Locke, district attorney Singer and Mr. C. T. Gerberich, I. C. Wetzel, Harry Gerberich and Harry Hartranft. The next step was to close the gates at the head of the race, then Mr. Gerberich opened the mill and as the water began to move the body was evidently cast up from the bot- tom, as Mr. Lose caught it on his rake after a very few trials. It was at the side oppo- side the rail-road tracks, about eight feet above the screen and only a foot or so be- neath the surface of the water. There was very little water in the body and not a bruise or amark of any kind was to be found. The lips were slightly whit- ened but that was all there was to indicate that the child was not in a natural sleep. The body was taken to the home that had already been stricken by the death of the father, so recently. Coroner Locke impanelled the following jury : C. T. Gerberich, Harry Gerberich, L. C. Wetzel, William Reasner, Harry Hartranft and Amos Mullen. The body was viewed when taken from the water and there the inquisition rested until last evening at 8 o’clock when it met in Dr. Locke’s office and returned a verdict of ac- cidental drowning. No one seems to have seen Stanley after he left the factory, shortly after 6 o’clock. It was reported that he had been playing with some children at the corner of Alle- gheny and Lamb streets about half-past seven, hut the boys who were there say he was not with them. Had he been there at that time it is the supposition that he was returning to the factory to go home with Will and either slipped into the water while crossing the logs at the forebay or he might have been floating a play ship, that he had been wanting so badly and talked so much about. It is quite evident that he fell in somewhere between the entrance to the forebay and the gates of the old cooper shop, 30 feet above, for the latter are used as flood gates and if he had fallen in above there his cap would have been drawn out over them on the swift over-flow. The funeral will take place from the house this afternoon at half-past two o'clock. Stanley would have been 9 years old in July and his application was on file for admission to Girard college. I ll I ——Mrs. David Stover, aged 87 years, died at her home in Haines township, on Wednesday morning. Her death was caused by heart trouble superinduced by old age. A hushand and three children survive. Funeral services will be con- ducted by Rev. W. H. Stover, of Rebers- hurg, to-morrow morning and interment will be made at Wolfe's chapel. JOHN ASBURY PENNINGTON.—John A. Pennington, a native of this county, died at his home in Tyrone, on Wednesday morning, after having been ill with an affection of the heart since last Friday. Deceased was born in Pennsvalley, near Sprucetown, December 30th, 1830, and was 67 years, 3 months and 14 days old. He farmed and was engaged in other oc- cupations in this county until 1886, when he moved from Pine Grove Mills, to which place he had gone after leaving Spruce- town, to Tyrone. He was in poor health when he left Centre county and only went to Tyrone because he was unable to work and wanted to be near his children, who were there. On the 27th of December, 1853, he was married to Miss Sarah Slack. To the union were born twelve children, all of whom with their mother survive the hus- band and father. The children are: R. H. Pennington, of East Wheatland, III. ; Uriah Pennington, of Springfield, Neb. ; Mrs. Thomas McCann, of New Brighton, Pa.; Miss Mary Pennington, of Belle Ver- non, Pa.; Miss Fannie Pennington, of Reedsville, Pa.; Mrs. David Otto, of Ben- ore, Pa. ; J. A. Pennington, Pitcairn, Pa.; Tonner Pennington, of Tyrone, and Misses Jennie, Laura, Mary and Bessie at the family home. Two sisters of the deceased survive, viz: Mrs. Daniel Tonner, Canton, Ohio, and Mrs. Jones Sealy, Joliet, Ill. As a christian gentleman he was respect- ed by all who enjoyed his friendship. He was conservative in all things, but once convinced of the rectitude of his inclina- tion he went forward with determination. For thirty-two years he had been a mem- ber of the Methodist church. Interment will be made in the Tyrone cemetery this afternoon. ll I ll DEATH oF MRS. HEATON.—Sarah E. Shroyer, wife of Henry Heaton, was born March 10th, 1833, and died April 6th, 1898, aged 65 years and 26 days. Deceased was the wife of deacon Henry Heaton, of the Milesburg Baptist church. She united with the church during the pastorate of Rev. Frederick Bower and was baptized in February, 1850. A christian for forty- eight years. She was a faithful wife and devoted mother and leaves to mourn her departure, a husband, two sons and three daughters, to whom her life is a bright example. “There is no death—the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore,” LIFE Yea ! life immortal, life forever-more ! Since thou hast gone to the eternal shore. The silent, swift transition of the soul Has placed thy name on the immortal roll, Death has been vanquished-over, all the strife-- Death’s Conquerer has given eternal life. HEALTH No more affliction, suffering, or pain— The Healers touch hath made thee whole again. No more, thy wasted form prostrated be— From all the ills of life, thou art made free. Now, mayst thou, full of health and power stand For sickness cannot enter that fair land. PEACE After life's stormy voyage--Peace at last. The fury of life's tempest now is past. No more, thy bark be tossed on billow’s crest, No more, the storms of life proclaim unrest. From all thy trials, thou hast found release ; For—list—the Master's voice has whispered, “Peace.” M.V.T ll li ll O. E. HouseMAN.—O. E. Houseman died at State College, on Sunday evening, after a shoft illness with epilepsy. Dcceas- ed had been employed about the College for a great many years as a carpenter and was an upright, conscientious man. Since the death of his wife, several years ago, he had been boarding and it was at the home of Mrs. Kemerer that he died. Deceased was 60 years old and is sur- vived by a step-daughter, Mrs. Ida Mac- Donald, of Philadelphia, three brothers in Altoona, two sisters in Pine Grove and Rev. Houseman, of Lairdsville, who is his executor. Burial was made at Pine Hall on Tues- day morning. ll fl ll ——Adam C. Wirts, formerly a resident of Houserville, this county, died at his home at Dellville, Perry county, on last Thursday, April 7th. A wife and six children are left to mourn his death. De- ceased was a veteran of the late war, hav- ing fought with the 148th P. V. All his life he had been associated with the Luth- eran church as a working member. li I l Typhoid fever caused the death of Mrs. Mary Moore, wife of Samuel Moore, at her home, in the lower end of Nittany valley, on Sunday morning. Deceased was only 23 years old and is survived by a hus- band and three children. tes : ——The martins arrived in Lock Haven on Tuesday. They were a few days later this spring than they have been for a num- ber of years. Their migrations to and from the South usually begin and end on the same day, year after year. This re- markable regularity has long been a source of interest to those who have had an op- portunity of watching the habits of the martins. ——As an evidence of the esteem in which Harry Grove, whose death was men- tioned in the last issue of the WATCHMAN, was held by the people of Somerset, where he died, both hotels in that place and most of the business houses were closed on the afternoon that his funeral occurred. The Pioneer fire company attended in a body and there was a general gloom mani- fested throughout the town. Harry had been employed as clerk at the Hotel Van- near, where he was very popular, and his quiet unassuming manner made him hosts of friends among the Somerset people. He was ill for only three days with nervous prostration and was dead before his friends at his old home here had even heard that he was ill. THE Y. M. C. A. GYMNASIUM BUILD- ING BURNED.—A few minutes before 10 o’clock Saturday night the large frame gymnasium that occupies the lot at the rear of the Y. M. C. A. building, on north Allegheny street, took fire from an over- heated flue and had gained such head-way before it was discovered that all attempts to save the building were futile. An alarm was not sent in, for some un- accountable reason, and the first intimation the town had of the fire was the lurid glare that so suddenly lit up the misty black- ness of the night. The building was frame, lined with flooring and being dry as tinder it burned with frightful fury. The flames had already broken out of the eastern end when the first stream of water was gotten onto the fire, so that it was evident to the firemen that all they could do was to save adjacent property. The building was hemmed in on all sides by buildings that it seemed impossible to save, but by the efficient handling of seven streams the de- partment was able to confine the flames to the Gym, not one of the adjacent build- ings being scorched. This was only possi- ble because there wasn’t a particle of wind blowing and the flames shot straight up. It was one of the hottest fires the town has ever had, but it was all over in half an hour from the time it broke out. The building took fire from a large heat- ing furnace that was located in the extreme eastern end, where the shower baths were. It had been customary to fire it up on Sat- urday evenings to have hot water ready in case anyone wanted to use the baths. That night Milton Derr, the assistant secretary, had made the fire and walked out into the association rooms to wait until it caught up. When he returned the entire gym- | nasium was filled with such a dense volume of smoke that it was almost impossible to enter it. The alarm was given and the boys who were about the rooms were able to save some of the gymnasium equipment. Some of the people who live in a tenement immediately at the rear of the building noticed a shower of sparks flying out of the chimney and and called Ben Williams’ attention to it. He walked down and looked into one of the windows, but could see no fire. This is evidence that it must have caught between the roof and the ceiling, where there was a five foot loft that the pipe ran through. The loss to the association is quite a serious one. The building was erected a few years ago ata cost of $450. Equip- ment worth $150 was put in then and later the steam heating and shower baths were added ata cost of $160. Then the bowling alley was put in at a cost of $200 and other equipment added so that the aggregate amounted to about $1,000. On this there was an insurance of $600, which the adjuster cut down to $580 when he settled. LEE’S SURRENDER WAS CELEBRATED. The celebration of the surrender of Genl. Lee and the southern confederacy at Appo- mattox in April, 1865, in the court house in this place, Saturday evening, drew a great crowd. Standing room was at a pre- mium when commander Sam Miller of Gregg post called the meeting to order and introduced Dr. Geo. W. Atherton, President of the Pennsylvania State Col- lege, who was to preside. Events such as the one of Saturday night can be either very unpleasant or highly gratifying ; it depends entirely upon the manner of their conduct. In taking the chair Dr. Atherton made the opening ad- dress and at the very outset announced that it was an occasion for looking forward, not backward, so that every speaker that followed took the cue, so gracefully given, and there was not a reference to anything that might have been distasteful, even had there been veterans in the grey there that night. Dr. Atherton’s talk was at once learned and entertaining. He could readily have held the attention of the large audience fora longer time than he chose to talk, but after speaking, gen- | erally, of the mightiest clash of arms the world has ever seen, the sincerity and valor displayed on both sides, the perfect sub- mission with which the vanquished accepted their defeat, the magnanimity of the van- quishers and the peaceful return of all to peaceful pursuits, he concluded with the hope that the United States, in which there is no more a North or a South or an East or a West, might be the means of extending liberty to the oppressed in Cuba. This expression aroused great enthusiasm and it had scarcely subsided ere Hon. A. O. Furst was presented. Judge Furst was really interesting. One might have thought that he was an eye witness of the scenes from the fall of Rich- mond to the surrender at Appomattox so carefully and entertainingly did he recite them. His address was absolutely free from any of that raillery that at some oc- casions of this sort is so painfully evident. Judge Furst was not in the service long, but his talk shows that he is broad enough to know that the trouble that ended with the surrender at Appomattox should be left as part of the dead past. Col. D. F. Fortney was the next speaker and confined his remarks to the flight and capture of Jeff Davis and the assassination of Lincoln. They were punctuated with anecdotes that kept the audience in a good humor all the while and rather prepared it for John Blanchards' dramatic recitation of ‘‘Sheridan’s Ride.” After thisa general camp-fire followed and continued until quite late. The meeting was a pleasurable one to everybody and it has been a long time since the court house has been crowded with an audience that found an entertain- ment interesting enough to hold it till the end. —A. J. Bigony, a civil engineer in Lock Haven, shot and killed himself early Wednesday morning. He had been in poor health and worried considerably over other matters until he thought the surest relief from his troubles was to end his life. Mr. Bigony was the city engineer and lived with his wife on west Water street, Lock Haven. He got up between 5 and 6 o'clock Wednesday morning and walked to his dresser, from the drawer of which he took a loaded revolver, and shot himself. The ball entered his head just back of his left ear and went clear through. Death was instantaneous. He was a brother of Penn Bigony, at one time a clerk atthe Bush house in this place, and his father was the first proprietor of that hotel. Tt will be re- membered that the father committed sui- cide last year. ital peat MARRIAGE Licenses.—Following is the list of marriage licenses granted by or- phans court clerk G. W.

WANAMAKER IS COMING TO TowN.— Next Tuesday night John Wanamaker, Maj. Meyrick and Senator Kauffman, of Lancaster, will be in Bellefonte to speak at a public meeting to be held in the court house. They are touring the State for the Business Men’s League and constitute the great anti-Quay propaganda. It will be a great night in Bellefonte. Wanamaker has never been here before and now that he is coming on politics bent, after repeated disappointments of visits for church picnics, ete., there will doubtless be a great crowd to hear him. The Bellefonte post-office applicants are advised to shun the court house Tuesday night as they would a pest-house. All others dare attend without fear of the consequences. The Bellefonte Central railroad company will run a special train for the meeting, at a single fare for the round trip from all points along the line. News Purely Personal. —Dr. and Mrs. John F. Alexander, of Centre Hall, were in town on Tuesday. They took ad- vantage of the first real spring day we have had and drove over. —Miss Roberta, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Noll, is in Clearfield visiting her broth- er, Charles, and his family. She has not fully re- covered from the severe illness she lived through in the winter but is so much better that her friends are greatly encouraged. —Jerome Harper and Will Kelley went to Phila- delphia, on Monday evening; the former to con- sult a specialist and the latter to assist his mother in getting her household goods packed up before moving back to Bellefonte, Mrs. Kelley expects to spend a month in New York before returning. —Isaac Tressler, himself 73 years old, was down from Linden Hall, on Tuesday, to take the pre- liminary steps toward settling up his venerable father’s, Jonathan Tressler, estate, who died last week at the age of 97. Mr. Tressler is still active- ly engaged in farming and is one of the most in- fluential men of that section. —Mrs. Curtin has returned home from her visit to New York. She was there attending the wed- ding of her son-in-law William Sage and Miss Whitney. Miss Whitney was an intimate friend of Mr. Sage’s first wife, who was much like her father, the Governor, in disposition and clever- ness, and visited the Curtin’s here several years ago.’ —W. F. Heberling, of Benore, an old Vet and a good old reader of the Warcnmax, came down to town on Saturday morning to be here in time for the commemoration of Lee's surrender. He was one of the appreciative audience and had seen enough active service to fully appreciate the sig- nificance of the meeting. He is a radical Bryan- ite and says the gold-autocrats can yell Anarchist at him as much as they please. —D. L. Dennis, Esq., of Pine Grove Mills, was in town on Saturday looking robust and happy as if there was nothing but good fortune in life for him. Mr. Dennis is living in Pine Grove, where he doesn’t do a thing but loaf from morning til night and he smiles when you ask him whether it suits him. But he is sixty years old and was a hard working farmer up to last year, when he sold his farm and moved to town to rusticate. —Mr. Anthony Gatens was in town yesterday, enjoying himself as he usually does and contrib- uting to the good cheer of all his friends. An- thony is about as happy a character as breathes the air of Buffalo Run and he is perfectly satis- fied in his snug little home along the mountain three miles west of Bellefonte. The pride of hjs heart is that silver sugar bowl he lifted from Rob- ert E. Lee's wagon train near Richmond during the war and with the pension he has lately been granted his last cause of grievance has disap- peared. —Harry Foulk, an old Bellefonter who has been gone from here for thirty-three years, yet has only been as far away as Altoona, was in town on Wednesday on business for the Pennsylvania railroad company. He is foreman in one of the departments of the big car shops in the mountain city and his service has been so long and faithful that he is held in very high esteem by the com- pany. He is a brother of Joshua Folk and served as a soldier in the same company with Charles Smith, of Bishop street, so that with such friends here his coming back was one of as much pleas- ure as could be crowded in between his periods of business. —The departure of Miss Anna Mann for her new home in Lewistown, yesterday, was rather sad for all concerned, and on Anna's account, for she has been sick so long and looked so frail as she was carried from the carriage, very few of her friends weve allowed to say auf-weidersehen, Mr, Mann and his family have lived here for twenty- three years and, until the American Axe and Tool trust bought him out, had charge of Mann's axe factory the old substantial industry of the place so that their going is more than an ordinary loss—Indeed it is like closing up a period of the town’s history as the family has had to do with the town’s material welfare for gen- erations. In going to Lewistown they are go- ing back home but we are none the less sorry to have them go. James Harris, of Philadelphia, has bought their home on Allegheny street. THE HYGIENE OF CHEERFULNESS.—The Rev. Miles O. Noil’s lecture, on Friday evening, April 22nd, on ‘‘the Hygiene of Cheerfulness or Pills for the Liver,” will be delivered in the court house.

OYSTER SUPPER.—AII the friends of the United Evangelical church of Bellefonte are cordially invited to an oyster supper, ice cream and cake on Friday and Satur- day evenings, April 15th and 16th, in the church. You may expect a first class supper, prepared by the skilled hands of the members of the ladies’ aid society of the church. i A Circus CoMING.—On May 10th Ring- ling Bros., big circus will visit Bellefonte and a great day in town may be expected. The manifest for the circus train has not been received here yet, but the agent who was here on Wednesday says they have 58 cars. It isa western circus and this is its first trip through the East. A———l THE SPECIAL TRAIN FOR THE DANCE AT THE COLLEGE.—The special train for the Senior assembly at State College this evening will leave here at 7 o'clock Pp. m. and run straight through to the College ; returning after the dance. Chappell’s Williamsport orchestra will furnish the music for dancing. Eggs for Hatching. The prices below are for a setting of thir- teen eggs.
