~ CEE TERI ET TI aT YET SR A PE SS EL EA A CCT SEE San. A SPLENDID CITIZEN HAs PASSED AwAy.—The death of the venerable Sam- uel T. Gray, which occurred at his home at Graysdale, Half-moon valley, about noon on Monday is a matter of more than pass- ing regret to this entire community. Men of his type are not so plentiful that their passing can be regarded lightly. He was the oldest of his generation of a family that has made Buffalo-run and Half-moon val- leys proud of their citizenship since the earliest days of the country and in the many years of his life have been teeming with usefulness to those about him. Mr. Gray was one of thatsturdy, honest type of men who commanded the confidence of friends and the respect of strangers. Sound in his judgment and fair in his dealings with his fellows he was the trusted adviser toward whom all in that community turn- ed when in need. Though bitterly adverse in politics it is only the truth to say that when he consented to become a candidate for auditor and was elected two terms in succession this county secured the service of a man whose carefulness and business like investigation of the affairs before him will likely never be surpassed. Samuel T. Gray was a man among men. His wasa life of christian manhood that bore the richest fruits. Deceased had been in failing “health “for: a year or more, bat as there was no specific trouble the family felt no more alarm than would be natural for one in his advanced years, until last Thursday, when he sud- denly began to suffer acute pain with neuralgia of the heart. Though he was confined to his bed but three days he suf- fered continuously with it until the time of his death. Samuel T. Gray, was born July 24th, 1824, in Patton township, where his father and grandfather before him had lived, and within sight of his present home, where he has resided for forty-five years past. Like the sons of the general farmer, he received such educational privileges as the schools of the neighborhood afforded, John W. Bowen and Reuben H. Meek being among his early teachers. He remained at home until his marriage, in 1852, when he located on the present homestead and began life for himself. This farm comprises some three hundred acres of land, much of which he has cleared and improved himself. Through industry, economy and good management, Mr. Gray accumulated a competency. He gave his life to the pursuits of an agricul- turizt, and was one of the successful farm- ers and substantial and influential men of Centre county. While in no sense an of- fice-seeker, he has for years served the peo- ple of his township as overseer of the poor ; was for a number of years justice of the peace, and for six years served as auditor of Centre county. ' Samuel T. Gray’s wife, whose death oc- carred June 25th, 1893, was Harriet Hutchi- son, a daughter of Benjamin Hutchison, of Warrior's Mark, Huntingdon county, Penna., in'his day one of the most promi- nent men of that section of the State. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Gray were Emma, died in 1870 ; George H., died in 1856; Mary R., died,ir 1859 ; William E., Annie, Herman, died in 1864 ; Minnie W., died in 1892 ; Nota’; Samuel E:; “died in 1891. Recently deatli’ has entered the home three times and broken the family circle. First within this limit, Samuel was called ; then Minnie ; last, was the dear mother, who had always been a true and faithful friend and guardian to both husband and and children, who will never forget her loving kindness and tender mercy. Mr. Gray had for many years been iden- tified with the M. E. church, having serv- ed as trustee and steward. In politics he was a Republican, as was his father hefore him. J. RoLAND DECKER.—J. Roland Deck- er died at his home at Aaronshurg last Fri- day afternoon, after a short illness with diabetes. While he had been slightly troubled for a long time with the disease he looked as if in full vigor. Tuesday he made cider at Coburn and on the way home was advised by Dr. Frank to take his con- dition more seriously. Wednesday he grew worse and the next day took his bed ; dying two days later. He was 37 years old and a son of John Decker, of Gregg township. His first wife was a daughter of the late John Heckman and his second one was Miss Jane Yearick, who survives him with two children of the first union. Funeral services were conducted at Heck- man’s church Mouday morning by Rev. A. G. Wolf. I I AN OCTOGENARIAN.—James G. Evans, aged 87, and one of Gregg township’s oldest residents, died at his home at Penn Hall, on Monday, as a result of a stroke of paraly- sis, which he suffered while celebrating his 87th birthday on September 1st. He was born near Linden Hall and bad lived in the vicinity of his late home ever since 1816. His wife wasa daughter of Judge Kryder, of Penn township, and sur- vives him with three sons: Dr. Kryder Evans, of Pottstown; J. Wells, on the homestead ; and Rev. John M., of Harri- son City. Dr. D. M. Wolf has been a member of the family ever since he was a boy of sixteen and mourns the death of his old benefactor with the others in that com- munity. Funeral services will be: conducted in Salem church Saturday morning hy Revs. Brown, Black and Isenberg. I I l ——John King, aged 76 years, died at the home of his son William, two miles east of Bellefonte, on Sunday morning, af- ter three weeks illness with dysentery. He was born in England and came to this coun- try in 1871 ; having settled in Spring town- ship, where he had been employed in the Valentine and Curtin mines. He is sur- “vived by four children, his son William and two daughters and a son who still live in England. Interment was made at Cur- tin’s Works Monday afternoon. ASSAULTED THE CoNDUCTOR.—Two ne- groes giving their names as Torrence E. Sage and Euling Brown, both of Lock Hav- en, were brought to this place on a special engine at midnight, Wednesday, by rail- road officer J. M. Swartzell. of Tyrone. They were committed to jail by squire W. C. Hoover, of Port Matilda, for having as- saulted conductor S. C. Cowan, of a west bound train, near that place about 2 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. The men were riding in Cowan’s train and were put off at Port. After being put off they undertook to climb on again, whereupon the conductor got after them and a scuffle ensued. He succeeded in throwing the smallest one off, but when he tackled the larger and kicked him he re- ceived a blow on the chin in return. The negroes waited about Port until the mail train west arrived and then rode to East Tyrone on it, where they were arrested. eee lA re. ——About all that was done at Monday night’s session of council was to authorize the payment of bills to the amount of $690.16. Charles Schadd and W. R. Shope asked to have water service extended to their properties on Half-moon hill and Rev. J. P. Hughes complained about the condi- tion of the pavement in front of the Lieb property on west Bishop street. Council finally decided to pay the August lighting bill of the Edison Co. It will be remem- bered that that concern had a break-down in August which necessitated a reduction of the street lights for which they declined to make a reduction in the bill for service. Council paid the bill and then asked the company if they wouldn’t please wash the globes and turn the lights on a little earlier at night. > --—To-morrow afternoon The Pennsyl- vania State College foot ball team will line up for the first time this season. Gettys- burg will be there to play the blue and white eleven and while the result is a fore- gone conclusion, yet the game will be in- teresting in that it will show just how State’s team is going to work this season during which so much will be expected of it. ——You ought to take the WATCHMAN. ——At their convention in Lock Haven last week the Clinton county Prohibition- ists named the following ticket: Sheriff, M.

Sri — AYA i erat WEATHER THAT FOSTER HAS IN STORE FOR Us.—My last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm waves to cross the continent from September 7th to 12th and September 14th to 18th and the next will reach the Pacific coast about September 19th, cross the west of Rockies country by close of September 20th, great central valleys 21st to 23rd, eastern States 24th. A warm wave will cross the west of Rockies country about September 19th, great central valleys 21st, eastern States 23rd. A ‘eool wave will cross the west of tockies country about September 22nd, great central valleys 24th, eastern States 26th. The temperature of the week ending 8 a. m. September 25th will average about normal in the great central valleys, below on the Pacific slope and the eastern States. The rainfall for the same period will be above normal in the great central valleys, below on the Pacific slope and in the eastern States. : This is not only the time of year for the average temperature to go lower, but the fall. will ‘be. greater. .than.; the. seasonal: average. While the temperature will fluctuate, the general or average change will be rapidly downward as soon as the warm wave due near the date of this bulle- tin has passed and that fall will continue till the cool wave, scheduled for about Sep- tember 26th has passed. During the period of about twenty days numerous showers may be expected and fall pastures will be much improved there- by. This weather will be of great henefit to winter wheat, barley and rye now be- ing sown, and the favorable weather condi- tions causing a fine growth of these recently sown grains will have a tendency to lower prices. ia ge HE CoULDN’T STEAL CATTLE AGAIN SO HE Took Hipes.—Allison Woodring, of Port Matilda, isin the Clearfield county jail charged with having stolen hides from the ware house of the Philipshurg beef company and selling them to the Osceola Fertilizer company. Woodring was apprehended last Satur- day and in default of $300 bail was sent to jail. It appears that his thefts have ex- tended over a period of four months and in that time he sold hides to the Fertilizer company to the amount of $200. The dis- covery was made by an investigation for the cause of continual losses to the Philips- burg beef company; notwithstanding they are doing a large business. Saturday morning Sol. Schmidt found four hides, that he had purchased the day before and placed in an old ware house, gone and up- on inquiry to the company to know wheth- er they had bought any on Saturday, he received a negative reply, but was advised to telephone to the Osceola concern. They stated that they had bought four that morn- ing from a young man giving his name as Alvin Cowher and professing to be a butch- er from Bald Eagle valley. Detectives were set to work on the case at once and ‘‘Cowher’’ was soon under arrest. Then it was found that his real name was Allison Woodring. Heimplicated William Potter, the watchman at the ware house, but the latter is generally believed to be innocent. Woodring, it will be remembered, is the young man who plead guiity at the No- vember term of court here in 1897 of having helped steal three cows from the fields of Jacob Woodring, near Port Matilda, which were driven to Bald Eagle and sold toa dairyman named Gus McClain for $32. For that crime he was sentenced to the Hunt- ingdon reformatory; having been released on parole last January and was finally dis- charged® on" July 20th. Woodring also stole H. J. Goss’ bicycle in Philipsburg. Pine Grove Mention. Mother Keichline is visiting her Bellefonte relatives and friends this week.

Weaver's friends will be glad to learn of his sufficiently recovering to as- sume his official duties as superintendent of public instruction over in Clearfield county. On account of the inclement weather the lawn social at G. W. McWilliam’s was not so well attended. But to the thirty couple who did attend, it was a pleasant and enjoyable evening full of entertainment and fun. While picnicking at Hunter’s park, last Saturday, Miss Jennie Showers lost her pocketbook which contained some money and a handkerchief. The finder will confer a favor on the owner by leaving it at the WATCHMAN office. Dr. Swartz, of New Oxford, Pa., arrived last Wednesday evening to make an examina- tion of Emanuel Sunday’s diseased tongue. He will treat it by the absorption method, which is entirely painless, and for which he asks no remuneration 'til a cure is effected. The dwelling of G. B. Campbell is under- going some general repairs both inside and out and when completed will be one of the most comfortable homes in the valley.
