successful. His wheel was taken from the
Bush house on the Fourth and so far he
A SupDEN DEATH. — The death of
William Wallace Hays, Sunday morn-
ing at the home of his son-in-law, J.
Wesley Gephart, on Linn street, was
most sudden though not unexpected.
More than a year ago he had a long and
serious illness, and, while he had regained
his health sufficiently to be out and about
constantly and appeared well, his family
and physician knew he was failing rapidly.
Saturday night he was down town in the
carriage calling upon some friends and upon
retiring at 10 o’clock seemed unusually
well. Sunday morning early, Mr. Gep-
hart looked into his room and remarked on
how comfortably he seemed to be sleeping.
Before going to church, however, Mrs. Gep-
hart became so uneasy about him sleeping
longer than usual that she decided to
wake him, and upon making an effort to
do so discovered at once that the end had
come. Dr. Harris, who was just leav-
ing the house from attending another mem-
ber of the family, was quickly called back
and the examination showed that he had
passed away some hours previous without
a struggle or a pain.
Mr. Hays was a member of one of the
oldest families of the town and was born
here June 7th, 1821. Years and years ago
he built the house on High street in which
the editor of this paper now lives. At that
time his father, Robert Hays, who settled
here in 1814, owned all the land from
Thomas street to Spring creek on the south
side of High. His tannery then occupied
the site on which the WATCHMAN and
Bush buildings are now standing and his
orchard of choice fruit trees thrived where
the Pennsylvania railroad station and
tracks are now located.
After engaging in the tanning business
here until 1855 Mr. Hays located in Shamo-
kin, Danville and Springfield, Ill. In 1870 he
accepted a position in the Pension office in
Washington, D. C., where he remained
until ill health, in 1895, compelled him to
resign. Since then his home has been here
with his daughter Mrs. J. W. Gephart.
Cultured and scholarly Mr. Hays de-
voted much time and thought to the ac-
cumulation of rare coins, china, rugs and
autographs and his collection is acknowl-
edged by connoisseurs to be very valuable.
He sought no prominence but stood high
in the esteem of this community. Abso-
lutely honest and a perfect gentleman he
was always the same sincere friend or kind
councillor. His heart kept green though
time had sifted its many snows upon his
head. And so he fell asleep. In the home
he loved, surrounded by dear ones and
fully ready he passed into eternal light.
Surviving him are his daughter, Mrs.
Ella Hays Gepbart, and his brother Alfred,
of Ashton, Mo. The funeral services were
held on Wednesday afternoon at Mr. Gep-
hart’s, Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian
church, officiated and interment was made
in the Union cemetery.

WirLiam WoLr.—William Wolf, one of
the oldest and most respected citizens of
Pennsvalley, died at his home in Centre
Hall on Tuesday evening at 4. o’clock,
aged 75 years, 2 months and 11 days.
The following notice of Mr. Wolf was
kindly furnished by our Centre Hall cor-
respondent. —[ED.]
The deceased was ill but a short time,
during which period he suffered little or no
pain. His family and the physicians did
all possible to prolong his life, but he
gradually grew weaker and at last slept
into death. He was rational to the end,
maintained all his faculties in a most re-
markable way—in fact, characteristics
prominent during life were manifested to
the last. He was conscious that his days
were ending, and met that end in an ex-
emplary way.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. J. M. Rearick, of the Lutheran church,
assisted by Rev. W. E. Fisher, of Shamo-
kin, this Friday a. m. Interment in the
Centre Hall cemetery. Dr. Fisher was a
former pastor and a personal friend of the
deceased.
Mr. Wolf was born near Rebersburg,
April 30th, 1824, and in 1846 came to Cen-
tre Hall, making him the oldest resident
of the town. He engaged in the mercantile
business for a period of forty years, from
1852 to 1892. He was exccedingly atten-
tive to'business during this time, and yet
found time to act as president of the
Penns Valley banking company for a
number of years.
Politically he was a Democrat—not occa-
sionally, but always. He was a Democrat
from principle. While he never sought
office at the public’s band he was reward-
ed for his party fidelity by being appointed
postmaster during 1858, which was the
time of the establishment of a post office
there, and served for twelve successive
years. He also held the same position
during the first Cleveland administration.
A thorough christian man was Mr. Wolf.
He loved his church well, he loved her con-
tinually—his church was first and fore-
most. He was a Lutheran, not merely hy
birth, hut because he believed firmly in
the doctrine she untolds. He was a charter
member of the Lutheran church and at no
time turned his face from her.
Miss Anna M. Witmer became his wife
on September 27th, 1854, and she and J.
Witmer, an only son, survive him.

—— Lieutenant Samuel S. Pague, who
was commandant at State College from '87
to ’90, was found dead in a boarding house
in Chicago last Saturday. The supposition
is that he died from an overdose of chloral.

man and very much liked, but several
years ago he got into a quarrel with a fel-
low officer and shot at him for which he

WiLLtay O. GREEN.—Will Green, son
of Tobias and Rebecca Green, of Milesburg,
died in Mercy hospital, Pittsburg, on Mon-
day morning, July 3rd, of appendicitis.
His body was brought to Milesburg and
interment was made at Curtin’s on Wed-
nesday morning.
His death was not unexpected as he had
been in the hospital since May 11th, and
had endured three operations with few
chances of recovery. Blood poisoning final-
ly set in and his death ensued. He was a
printer by trade and well known here,
where he had worked in all the offices at
different times. He was only a little over
thirty years old but, poor soul, luck never
seemed to smile his way. At Christmas
time he was in the Allegheny hospital for
eleven weeks with typhoid fever Four
years ago his wife, who was Lilly Miller,
died leaving two little children, a boy and
a girl, who survive him. He was a mem-
ber of the Methodist church, and an up-
right, gentlemanly man.

WiLLiaM 8S. BRIGHT. — Formerly of
Millheim but late of Ashland county, .O.,

in Ohio, on Sunday evening. Mr. Bright

health. He was married to Elizabeth
Frank in ’64 and the following children

toll gate keeper just west of Millheim,
died on Tuesday evening of cancer of the
back. He was born in Haines township,
Feb. 14th, 1825. He was married to Eliz-
abeth Musser, three children blessed the
union, and after her death, was again mar-
ried to Susan Long, two children being
born to them. A brother, Noah Stover, of
Millheim is living. He will be buried

——Gov. Stone has wisely reappointed
F. B. Crider, of this place, trustee of the
State Insane hospital at Danville. An ap-
pointment which can cause no unfavorable
comment from either faction or party, as
Mr. Crider is a sagacious business man
who will look after the interests of the in-
stitution and the poor unfortunate inmates
efficiently and justly.

—— Tyrone this summer is enjoying a
monopoly of celebrations. The band tour-
nament was a success. On Saturday and
Sunday, the 15th and 16th of this month,
a great big delegation of railroad men will
meet there with headquarters at the Gar-
man House. The seventh annual conven-
tion of the Central Pennsylvania District
Association of Volunteer Firemen is to be
held there on August 10th and 11th.
—
After being idle for six months, work
at the stone quarries at Salona was begun
last week on an order for 10,000 yards of
crushed stone for the Beech Creek railroad.
The stone which will make 400 carloads is
to be used for ballast. Fifty men will be
employed, but when work was commenced
the company was only able to obtain 25
men. Work on the present contract will
continue for at least four months.

——On Wednesday, the 5th, a down
pour of water, approaching a cloud burst
in volume, struck the hill out between
Nigh bank and Zion and tore up the coun-
try at a greatrate. The cornfields, bridges
and fences all suffered and down the ra-
vines at Axe Mann the water came in such
torrents that it swept the bridge away by
the stone spring house and covered the
road clear up to the Methodist church on
the pike. At Morris’s lime kilns, in Ar-
mor’s gap, the peaceful little brook over-
flowed its banks until all operations had to
be suspended for several hours and railroad
ties floated around like corks. Fortunate-
ly the storm was of short duration and
Spring creek was soon its normal size and
color.

——A certain good (?) man, citizen of
College horough, ever considered worthy of
emulation, recently said unto himself *‘‘I
will drink and be merry’’ and thereupon
taketh into his confidence a dispenser of
bitters and the delivery boy. The latter,
ever mindful of his cnstomers good, to
avoid even the appearance of evil, deposit-
ed his neatly boxed bottles in the house-
holder’s stable instead of at his front door.
A few hours later the good man of the
house searcheth diligently for his ‘‘evil
spirits’”’ but when he cometh he findeth
none, for his stable had been swept of
them. Like a thief in the night, certain
other good brethern, walking through dry
places seeking other ‘‘spirits,’’ entereth in
and possesseth themselves of his. There-
upon he goeth after that which was lost
until he findeth the box in the back yard
of one of his neighbors and the hottles in
the oats boxes of certain others. Woe unto
you, good brethern, whom the perfume of
the hop wine made to forsake the straight
and narrow path! And woe unto him that
hath no rule over his own ‘spirit !”’
JuLy WEDDINGS.—The wedding of Miss
Mary Green and Mr. James R. Hughes
took place in the Presbyterian church on
Wednesday at half past eleven.
No invitations to the church were issued,
as Mr. Hughes and his father, because of
the latter’s many years of identification
with the Academy during the more recent
of which his son has been associated with
him, number their friends not by the score
but the hundreds and many showed their
appreciation of the privilege thus openly
extended. A day of mingled cloud and
sunshine makes the sun seem to shine all
the more brightly and if its brightness is
any presage of the fairness awaiting Mr.
Hughes and his bride in their new life, it
will be all that anyone could wish them.
A short recital by Miss Neubaker enter-
tained the assembling guests until the
bridal party arrived. The ushers were
Messrs. J. Harris Green, brother of the
bride; Charles S. Hughes, of Baitimore,
brother of the groom; J. Malcolm Laurie,
Hardman P. Harris, Harris B. Heylman
and Jay Woodcock all of Bellefonte.
The bride was very becomingly dressed
in a mauve colored going-away gown, made
en train with a white satin yoke. The hat
to match was trimmed with deep crimson
roses. She carried a bouquet of bride's
roses. Her twin sister, Emma, was maid
of honor and wore a green dress with white
yoke, en train. Her hat was white leg-
horn trimmed, with white chiffon and wings
and she carried pink roses.
The ushers and maid of honor preceded
the bride and her father to the front pew
where they were met by Mr. Hughes and
his best man, Mr. Tarleton Goldthwaite, of
New York city, a Harvard graduate of "91.
Mr. Hughes led his bride to thealtar where
they were married by Rev. Dr. Laurie, as-
sisted by Rev. J. P. Hughes, father of the
groom. A wedding breakfast was served
at the residence of the bride's father, Mr.
F. Potts Green, of East Linn St. As there
has been a recent death in the bride’s fami-
ly only the wedding party, the immediate
families and a very few friends were there.
Owing to the prominence and popularity
of the bride and groom and his connection
with the Academy, weeks of planning by
the young men and women of the Academy
had led to elaborate plans for the proper(?)
conveyance and entertainment of the bridal
party to the station; but these they skill-
fully eluded by a circuitous route through
by-ways to Axe Mann where they got on
the train.
They will spend the summer at Cape
May, N. J.

KENNEDY-AUSTIN.—John C. Kennedy,
' of Williamsport, who was here for a time
associated with Joseph Runkle in the
plumbing business, wad married to Miss
Elsie Austin, of Centre Hall, on Tuesday,
the 4th, by Rev. Dr. Stephens. The mar-
riage took place, at noon, at the Methodist
parsonage on Linn street. Miss Margery
Lieb was bridesmaid and Claud Moore best
man. After the ceremony a delightful
wedding breakfast was served at the home
of Mitchell Lieb, on Willow-bank street,
from which the young people departed
amid congratulations and good wishes for
their honey moon at Eagle’s Mere.
The bride has made her home at Wm.
Dawson’s, on Spring street, for several
years and among her wedding presents was
a handsome silver tea set from the boarders
at the house. The groom is an energetic,
estimable, young man employed at his
trade in Williamsport.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH — Here, was
about as exciting as the ordinary Sabbath.
The day was perfect, but neither the blue
sky nor enticing breeze stirred up the eagle
one bit. His tail feathers drooped all day
and scarcely a singeing did they get. A
few flags were displayed but literally
speaking ’twas only the popping and siz-
zing and banging of powder that kept the
fires of patriotism burning.
In contrast to the Fourth of July one
year ago—the day after Cervera’s fleet was
captured—the celebration was dead quiet.
But then the good elders, who led the pa-
rade last year, and most every one else,
who could go, were out of town. Some
were at Hecla, more were at Lock Haven
and many picnicked privately on the
mountains round about.
At Lock Haven they did it up right.
They had bands galore and crowds in store.
They had bicycle races and balloon ascen-
sions, lots of accidents and a great big pa-
rade. Everything in fact that goes to make
up a jubilee and we might add—jam-
boree for some of our citizens, who colored
up with fire water down there, are still
celebrating.
At Hecla park the Undines had a most
successful picnic. Far more so than was
anticipated with the counter-attractions
elsewhere. The committee, W. T. Royer,
chairman, John Houser, John Morgan, Joe
Cushing, and William Runkle worked hard
but achieved much. Their day was with-
out an urpleasantness, and they cleared for
their fire company more than $350.
John Teats won both bicycle races.
Frank Woomer took second prize in the
one mile race and Charles Larimer second
in the two-third mile race. The base ball
game resulted in the Mackeyville boys de-
feating the Bellefonte team by a score of 7
to 6.

chances there are of downing Governor Hasting’s
here at his home, and that in due time the In-
quirer will have just such an account of it as is
best calculated to help the ‘old man’s” cause
along. There are no cleverer fellows or more
truer or readable writers on any of the metro-
politan papers than Mr. Brennan and whether he
has or has not anything to say on the squabble in
the Republican ranks, our people, who met him
were all glad of his coming and hope he may
come up often now that he has had a taste of our
pure water and bracing air.

—It would be well for the editor were there
more men in State College township, iike Wm, C.
Myers, who showed his appreciation of our ef-

Myers will take many more drives to Bellefonte
if each one means a visit to our office.

HEALTHY SIGNS.—Some of our doctors
drive such swell and stylish turnouts that
we are concerned least strangers think this
an unhealthy place, when we are supposed
to be booming it as a health resort for
crowded out industries and every other
weakness that needs reviving. ‘‘Why!
it is distressingly healthy,” so one
of our doctors themselves said—and we
fully believe even now. Unlike Thomas
we have no doubts on the subject and talk
of what we know.
It is the caliber and ‘‘stick-to-it-iveness’’
of the men and not the climate that was
instrumental in bring about all these fine
carryalls and gigs. Dr. John Sebring
drives his rounds with two blooded horses
and as fine a physician’s pheaton as one
has ever seen. It is after the Stanhope
pattern with solid rubber tires.
Dr. R. G. H. Hayes’ latest acquisition is
a stylish Buffalo pneumatic tired road
wagon and a horse that shows and goes
with anything in the town. Dr. Locke's
fancy runs to broughams and liveries,
resembling in style and quality those
used by millionaires. And all our many
other doctors are booming out with pros-
perity.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—On Thursday
afternoon, about 3 o'clock, as Joseph Kel-
leher, conductor of the yard shifter here,
was cautioning and showing a new brake-
man about coupling the cars, when ona
curve his left hand was caught between the
bumpers and badly crushed. Dr. Harris
dressed the injured hand and the young
man is now taking an enforced rest at his
home in Tyrone. Joe had been working
for ten years for a promotion and the day
it went into effect the accident happened.

Awnings and Tents.
F. Peebles Greene has for a number of years,
put out quite a lot of work in the line of tents and
awnings. He also handles second-hand tents—
such as have been used once or twice, which he
sells at half the regular price of new ones, as for
instance, a 10x12 wall tent can be had for $7.50.
Hunters and fishermen will be glad to learn of
this and we take pleasure in giving them the tip.
