THE REBERSBURG POSTMASTER IN TROUBLE.— William S. Miller, postmaster at Rebersburg this county, was arrested at his home in that place on Monday evening and taken to Altoona the next morning, by deputy United States Marshal John Roe. He was arraigned before United States Commissioner McLeod, in that city, on Tuesday, on charges of opening, reading and examining mail matter passing through his hands. The charges were preferred by Harry T. Gregory, a postoffice inspector. At the hearing Mr. Miller was represent- ed hy ex-Congressman Hicks, while In- spector Gregory looked after the interests of the government. Inspector Gregory testified that numer- ous complaints have been received in re- gard to mail matter having been tampered with; at the Rebersburg postoffice. He also testified as to the manner in which he had entrapped postmaster Miller, by ap- prehending a letter at Centre Mills, the’ next postoffice. The letter had beeen de- layed a day after having been posted, and when it came into the hands of the in- s pector it bore fresh mucilage. Inspector Gregory was handicapped in his work of investigating the case by the defendant , learning of his presence in the vicinity of Rebersburg and so was on his guard. Postmaster George W. Diehl, of Centre Mills, and Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Miller, of 1385 N. Nineteenth street, Philadelphia, also testified. Commissioner McLeod held the defendant in the sum of $500 for his a ppearance at the March term of United States court at Scranton. The arrest of postmaster Miller created quite a sensation in Rebersburg, where he enjoys a very excellent reputation as a citi- zen. He was accompanied to Altoona by T. E. Royer, who went on his bond, and he also carried with him the assurance from county superintendent C. L. Gram- ley that he would hold himself in readiness to render whatever assistance was needful. Mr. Miller was postmaster under the Harrison administration and was reappoint- ed about four months after the inaugura- tion of President McKinley. He has been considered a careful official and this trouble was a great surprise to most of the people in that community. It is said to have bad its origin in a letter that arrived at the Rebersburg of- fice addressed to W. G. Miller. As that gen tleman had moved to Philadelphia and his address was not known to the post- master the latter sent the letter to Walter’s father, H. H. Miller, who lives in Rebers- burg, to be properly addressed for forward- ing. The letter was returned and sent to its proper place, but in the handling it bad been torn or mutilated so as to give the impression that it had been tampered with. We publish this story only as it was furnished us by one of theresponsible resi- dents of Rebersburg and not as fact. —————— tr At THE CoUNCIL MEETING.—There were only six members of council present at the meeting Monday night and the business they transacted was about as follows: Upon request of F. P. Green for a grade for a crossing between his property and that of George Van Tries, on Linn street, that would not necessitate an offset, the matter was referred to the Street committee with power to act and instructions to make things right, as council had been responsi- ble for the bad grade of the Green pave- ment. Here’s a pretty state of affairs, to be sure. The idea of council being respon- sible for an irregular grade when the bor- ough has had a professional engineer for years. Some time ago a special map of the town was made ata cost of several hundred dollars with the sole view of having uni- fermity and grading has been going on as indifferently since as before the grades were adopted. Witness, the crossing at Aikens’ corner which seems to have heen built more for the purpose of giving the idea that the earth is round than for any special conform- ity to an established grade. We would advise every person who lays a pavement in Bellefonte to ask and procuie a grade from couneil hefore it is laid, then if it is changed bring suit against the horough for the expense you have been put to. J. A. Fink binder appeared and asked for an investigation of the cause of a stream of water gushing from the hill side back of his photograph gallery and making itself a nui- sance to him. Council decided that the water comes from cess pools on the street above it and ordered the water superintend- ent to notify property holders along north Spring street to put an end to the nuisance by stopping the waste of water or it would be shut off entirely in five days. On complaint of citizens of west Howard street that the borough water is too hot for use Capt. Taylor, Supt. of the steam heat service,explained that the water is not heat- ed by the proximity to the steam pipes, but that the east Howard street sewer overflows at Howard and Allegheny streets, and that that overflow becomes heated by the steam pipes and then follows the water pipes, heating their contents. The trouble has been a great nuisance to both water and steam heat people, but it is hoped that they are on a fair way to obviate any further in- convenience. Under the head of miscellaneous busi ness the county commissioners offered to erect the superstructure of a bridge over Logan’s Brauch at the Phoenix mills, if the borough will put in the abutments. If an iron bridge is erected there let council see to it that the drive way is full street width and that there are walks on both sides. The South side of Willowbank street is not built up very well at that place, but that is no reason for sticking up a narrow, cramped little bridge that will be no sooner com- pleted than its folly will be apparent. The Undine engine company was voted its an- nual appropriation of $200 and the Logans were given their $250. It was ordered that a sample of the spring water be sent to Dr. G. G. Pond, at State College, for analysis. The borough treasurer reported a balance of $8,304.05 due him on Oct. 2nd,'and then bills to the amount of $665.02 were ordered paid and council adjourned. — en ——The Millheim band was the musical attraction at the Lewisburg fair on Friday. — re ——The rebuilt Lock Haven furniture ‘factory began operations on Tuesday morn- ing.

OPO ——We are gratified to observe that one gentleman has returned from the great Dewey demonstration in New York who acknowledges that he didn’t see Dewey. We refer to Geo. W.

Mrs. Flegal was nearly seventy nine years old and through the long period of sixty-nine years she was a member of the Methodist church. Her husband survives her with a number of children. Funeral services were held in the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon and interment was made inthe Philips- burg cemetery. so —— Wy. H. PAGE EXPIRES SUDDENLY.— This community was greatly shocked when the announcement was made on Friday that Wm. H. Page had died very unexpect- edly at his home on north Allegheny street about one o’clock that morning. While he had been in delicate health for some time and was under a physician’s care for a few days previous he did not leave his duties at Sechler & Co’s store in consequence of it and was at his place of business up to the closing hour Thursday night. While walking home Mr. Page suffered severe twinges in his heart and later in the evening he called on his physician to con- sult him concerning it. He was no worse when retiring and no more was thought of the trouble until he called Mrs. Page, com- plaining of the heart pains again. She real- ized that his condition was extremely critical and went at once for Dr. Hibler, who responded as promptly as possible, but ere he reached the house his patient was beyond medical help. Mr. Page was about 58 years of age and was born in New York State. Some twen- ty-three years ago he located in Bellefonte, ‘coming here from Williamsport. He, with a Mr. Strait, embarked in the manufacture of kegs and shingles. He retired from this business later and entered the mercantile lines. For the past seventeen years he has been in the employ of Sechler & Co., and his strict integrity, honest busines® transactions, genial and pleasant demeanor at all times, won for him the respect, con- fidence and esteem of all citizens. He was a regular attendant of the Lutheran church and his upright life and consistent habits indicated a christian spirit. Mr. Page is survived only by his widow; the children (two) who blessed their union having died in youth. During his long life in the mer- cantile business in Bellefonte he became ac- quainted with many people throughout the county who learned to like him because of his fair and honest dealings. Funeral services were held at his late home at 12:30 on Saturday Rev. T. Levan Bickle, pastor of the Reformed church, con- ducted the services which were quite large- ly attended. The pall bearers were Messrs C. T. Gerberich, Hammon Sechler, Clem- ent Dale and H. Y. Stitzer. The remains were taken to Williamsport on the 1:43 train, where the interment took place Mon- day morning. I ll ll JouN T. HALL.—John T. Hall, who many years ago was an influential citizen of Bellefonte and a son of one of the pioneer residents of the town, died at Tyrone on Friday morning, at the home of his daugh- ter, Mrs. Carrie Hardie. He was born in thiscounty eighty two years ago and resided here for quite a while, the original Hall home having been a little house that stood on the present site of the Edison Electric Co’s building on Lamb street. Mr. Hall was employed at the old Bellefonte glass works when they were first put in operation and lived here until he moved to Tyrone to accept a position with the Pennsylvania railroad. He remained in the employ of that corporation, gaining in the confidence and esteem of his em-. ployers with each succeeding year, for 20 years, when he retired and has been living a life of ease for the past five or six years. Mr. Hall was a brother of Mrs. Priscilla Bell, of Howard street, this place; a cousin of John Furey, Pleasant Gap, and of Mrs. Barbara Rankin. His remains were inter- ed in Tyrone. | i AN OLD RESIDENT GONE.—Joseph Quay, one the oldest residents of Beech Creek, who was 70 years old, suddenly ex- pired while at the dinner table on Tues- day. He bad been engaged in building a house and went to work that morning in his usual health. When at dinner he made several joking remarks about his daughter, then said he did'nt feel well and fell forward and died. He is survived by two sons and three daughters. ll I fi ——Nauncy Keckler, who was for years a resident of Bellefonte and one of the best known characters here, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Franklin Shuey, at Rock Forge, on Monday morning.

Nancy lived in the little old McClure house that stood on the west side of south Spring street, just south of Bishop, when she was a resi- dent of Bellefonte. f l ll ——The death of Mrs. Henry Stevens occurred at her home at Stormstown, on Monday evening, after a short illness with dysentery. She was 75 years old and is sur- vived by her husband and the following children: Abednego, Blair and Lloyd, of Clearfield county; George of Martha Fur- nace; Vinton, of Julian; Mrs. Charles Blake and James, of Stormstown.

Mrs. Krider was a sister of Jacob, David, Miles, George and Samuel Mattern, all of whom reside in this county except David, whose home is in Huntingdon county. ll ll ll ——Mrs. Louisa Givler, whose maiden name was McMurtrie, died at her home in Tyrone on Saturday morning from the ef- fect of a complication of troubles.

EE RESIGNED AS SUPERINTENDENT.—The many Bellefonters who have enjoyed them- selves at various times at the Nittany coun- try club will be sorry to learn that Mr. and Mrs. Sol Peck left the club on Monday and went back to their farm. As superin- tendent and general custodian of the club's’ property Mr. Peck was not only efficient, but he was popular with the members and others, alike. No more gracious or pains- taking hosts could be in any resort than were the Pecks, but the work was more trying than they cared to assume for a long- er period and Mr. Peck resigned his posi- tion accordingly. The hoard of governors accepted his re- signation with reluctance and feel deep re- gret at losing the service of such a capable man. Mr. Ren T. Clayton, of Williamsport, an experienced sportsman and club master, is now installed there and will doubt- less contribute to the popularity of the place. head Co. M MusTERED Our.—Co. M, 2Ist Reg. N.
