Jackson arrived at his home in this place yesterday morning, af- ter its long journey from the Philippines, where he died with Bright’s disease on the 21st of May. Word was received here last Thursday of its departure from San Francis- co and arrangements were at once begun for the funeral. It was expected that the re- mains would reach here by Tuesday or Wednesday and that they should lie in state in the armory until the time of the funeral, last evening, but while the delay in arrival cr.t short the period during which his comrades and friends would like to have paid tribute at his bier there was every manifestation of sincere sorrow that could follow a gallant soldier to his grave. The body was met at thestation by a de- tail from Co. B, 5th Reg. N. G. P. of which organization George was First Lieutenant until he resigned when he departed as a Second Lieutenant of Co. I, 47th Reg. U. 8S. Vols., for the Philippines last November. In the detail were Seg. S. D. Gettig, Corp. Sam’l. Taylor and privates Abram Houser, Clarence Osmer, John Brachbill, Vietor Royer and J. C. Newcomer. A new Ameri- can flag covered the box asit was lifted from the car and borne to the armory, guarded by his former comrades. A bier had been erected in the centre of the great drill hall and there the body was tenderly laid. Beneath it were rugs and flowers, at the head was a table fairly smothered with the sweet floral offerings of the friends of the dead officer. At either side stood the military guards at present arms and back of all an immense flag was draped in graceful and solemn folds. The members of the family remained at the side of their soldier son and brother from three until four o’clock and then the public was permitted to view until the time of the funeral at six. Before this beautifully patriotic shrine passed hundreds of saddened friends who remembered the Lieutenant with nothing but thoughts of kindly and endearing asso- ciation. The guards at the armory were in four reliefs as follows : Privates Clarence Os- mer, and J. B. Royer, Abram R. Houser and H. A. Taylor, J. C. Newcomer and Jas. G. Taylor, W. H. Brown and Jas. G. Bridge. The hour for the funeral arrived Co. B, assembled under command of Cap’t. H. S. Taylor, and Lieutenants Chas. and Philip Garbrick, with the Undine band at their head. The march was made to St. John’s Episcopal church, where the beautiful serv- ice was impressively read by the Rev. Geo. I. Brown. Thechurch was crowded to the utmost and the crowd, eager to make some slight devotion to the honored dead,entend- ed both ways on Allegheny street for near- ly a square. At the conclusion of the service in the church thie body was born out, the band playing ‘‘Nedier My God to Thee,” and the march was resumed to the cem- etery. - And there in the family lot of the Jacksons, by the side of the lamented father, the eldest son was laid. Rev. Brown read the brief burial service of the Epis- copal church, the body was lowered into the vault, three volleys were fired over the grave and Toner Hugg, the Fifth Reg., buogler, sounded taps, just as the slanting rays of the setting sun cast their last flood of crimson light over the brow of the majestic mountains among which the sol- dier bad been nurtured and the sight of which he had left forever when he went forth at his country’s call. The band and the soldiers marched away, but there lingered, by the mounds of rhodo- dendron and fern that so beautifully con- cealed the new made grave, many a friend whose hearts’ pity could have found no more sincere expression than the touching silence tbat fell over all. In life Lieut. Jackson was a soldier of the finest type. ‘What more can be said? In death he is the revered son of a people whose sorrow will continue for all time to come. No more fitting tribute could be paid him than is found in the sentiment of the following letter to his mother from Edgar 8. Stayer, Quarter Master of the 28th Inf., who was with him when be died. Madam—1 wish to convey to you the deepest sympathy I can possibly have in this your time of bereavement for your son, Lt. Geo. L. Jackson, who was my very dear friend. He died like a soldier—away from those he loved, but in the hands of true friends. All who knew him, even his new friends here, have but one verdict: He was a man, true, and a soldier to the last. Very Sincerely Evcar S. 8TAYER. The carriers were Serg. Jas. R. Alex- ander, corporals Wm. Barnes, Harry Rine, Jno. O. Keeler and privates N. B. Spang- ler, B. F. Lucas and Frank Wallace, all of whom served with Lt. Jackson’s company during the Spanish war, and Serg. Victor Gray, of Co. L. 5th Reg. The honorary carriers were Edward Rich- ard, Chas. Richard, Geo. R. Meek, Wilbur F. Harris, Robert Morris, H. E. Fenlon, F. C. Williams, Ad. Fauble, Jno. M. Dale, Jno. M. Shugert, Harry Keller, Jno. M. Bullock, John J. Bower, Geo. D. Bayard, all of ‘Bellefonte, and H. D. Dunham and Harry Shively, of Philadelphia; J. R. Rose, Pittsburg; Dr. Christy, Altoona, and Cap’t. Wm. Simpson, Lock Haven. Lieutenant Jackson’s body was encased in an iron bound box, inside of which was a mahogany casket containing an hermetic- ally sealed metallic coffin. It was re- markably well preserved and was easily rec- cognizable. The features above his mouth were natural as life, but the close cropped moustache that he usually wore flowing changed the appearance of the rest some- what. He was dressed in his full dress uniform of 1st Lieut. of the 5th Reg., N. G. P., which he had taken with him. While on the casket was engraved ‘‘lst Lieut. Geo. L. Jackson, 47th Inf.”” which shows that the promotion he had antici- pated had come, but too late to do any- thing more than bestow the deserved rank in the memory of his friends. The floral offerings were profuse. A beautiful flag, with the inscription ‘‘Com- rade,’’ bespoke the feelings of his former comrades in Co. B. The Philipsburg boys of the old company sent a harp. A. J. Graham, of Philipsburg,sent a large wreath and flag in memory of his son, the late Sergeant Sam.Graham,and there were many other emblems from friends in other parts of the State. i i ForMER COMMISSIONER JOHN C. HEN- DERSON DiEs.—John C. Henderson died at his home at Julian, this county, about 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, from the ef- fects of dropsy, superinduaced by heart trouble. While he had been a sufferer for some time with his heart it was not until a few weeks ago that he was compelled to give up business pursuits and was confined to the house. He was perhaps the best known man in upper Bald Eagle valley. His various business enterprises and long participation in the Republican politics of the county made him a man known far beyond the confines of Lis home circle. He was radi- cal in all things, and was consistent in that after once espousing a cause he lent his every effort to its success. Deceased was the fifth child of Rev. Wm. B., and Rachel Conner Henderson. He was born at Pond Bank, in Patton town- ship, December 6th, 1832. His early edu- cation was very meagre and he worked hard as a hoy; living under the parental roof until his marriage to Miss Elizabeth J.Cooper, March 27th, 1855. Ten children blessed’ their union. After his marriage Mr. Henderson rented a farm in Bald Eagle valley for two years, which he operated during the summer sea- son, in the winter working in the lumber woods. For the following two years he lived on a rented farm in Patton tewnship, and then removed to a rented place in the lower end of the county, but. while there He next conducted a hotel for three years at Julian Furnace, and on selling out there purchased the large ‘Hotel Ellsworth,’’ at Osceola, Clearfield county, which he con- ducted from 1867 to 1875. On the 20th of May of the latter year it was destroyed by fire, which also reduced to ashes eight other buildings belonging to Mr. Hender~ son, entailing a heavy loss. The previous January he had been appointed by Presi- dent Grant, postmaster at Osceola, which position he held for three years and a half, when he resigned and began the cultiva- tionof his present farm in Huston town-~ ship: Here he made his home from May 1877 until 1894 when he went to Julian where he had opened up a store in 1889 now conducted by his son. The building was destroyed by fire in May, 1896, but he immediately started up at another location. In 1897 he lost heavily by the big flood of that year. He lived retired during the last years of his life. Mr. Henderson served his fellow. citizeiie as school director twenty-eight years, may- or of Osceola one year, tax collector of Huston township and county commissioner six years, the duties of which he discharg- ed with credit to himself and. to the satis- faction of his constituents. Although an ardent Republican and the county Demo- cratic, yet he was elected county commis- sioner by a majority of 739. For,20 years he was the efficient president of the school board and was treasurer two years. He was a christian man. f His wile preceded him to the grave in 1893 but the following children survive: Mrs. W. P. Parsons, of Huston Twp.; Mrs. 8S. J. Taylor, of Berlin, Somerset county; Elmer E., a merchant, of Julian; Mrs. L. N. Fleck, of Stoyestown, Somerset county; Mrs. G. F. Stevenson, Patton Twp. Ollie M., and Verrus G., at home. ‘The faneral took place yesterday morn- ing at 10 o’clock from his late residence at Julian. Interment in Gray’s cemetery. I I i MRS MATTHEW DOOLEY. -- For many weeks Mra. Mary E. wile of Matthew Dooley had been so seriously ill that her death on the morning of che 4th, at the home of her parents on east Bishop street, was not a surprise to anyone. About a year ago she had an operation performed in a Philadelphia hospital for a tumorous growth on her side and came home much benefited but it soon developed again and her health failed rapidly. The eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Bauer she was a lovable and un- selfish woman of pleasing personality and gentle, quiet ways. A native of this place she was born in the old stone house, where Joseph’s store now stands, June 19th, 1853, and with the exception of a few years in Snow Shoe her entire life was spent in this place. She was 2 faithful member of St. John’s Catholic church and from there she was buried on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Her hosband, her parents, and the fol- lowing sisters ‘and brothers survive her. Katharine, who is Mrs. Hugh Taylor, Jos- ephine, Vincent and John. I I I Mgs. EMORY McAFEE.—After an illness that had extended over a period of several ‘years and during which she was a contin- ual, though very patient, sufferer with cancer, Mrs. Emory McAfee died at her home in Stormstown on the morning of July 4th. Her husband and two sons, Hugh and Gibson, survive to cherish the memory of her lovely life and mourn the day that carried her away from them. Deceased was Sarah, a daughter of the late William Cross. She was 54 years old and for many years had been an earnest member of the Methodist church. Rev. burial, which was made at Stormstown on Friday. purchased a farm in Huston township: ‘complication of diseases. G. W. Runyan, her pastor, officiated at the WAS 17 ELECTRICITY OR THE BHOCK THAT KILLED HER?—During the heavy storm that passed over ‘this’ section ‘Satur- day afternoon lightning struck the home of James Gray, located about a mile and a half northeast of Milesburg, shattering it badly and rendering many of the occu- pants unconscious. When some of them had regained consciousness aged Mrs. Sarah McKinley, Mrs. Gray’s mother, was found dead on the cellar stairs. The storm was very angry looking when it was gathering in the west and when it broke in all its fury, about 3 o’clozk in the afternoon, the roar of the wind and rain was made awful by the sharp claps of thunder that rattled fast after the lurid glare of lightning that flashed everywhere. The Gray home is situated on the top of a hill. It isa log house weather-boarded. At the time of the storm Mr. Gray was at home with his wife and children and Mrs. McKinley. Mrs. Gray was in bed with an infant three days old at her side. The storm was apparently over and they were trying to raise a window in the sick room. As it stuck Mrs. McKinley said she would fetch a chisel from the cellar. She started to get it, and was followed by Mr. Gray, who had a child in his arms. Suddenly there was a blinding flash, three frightful reports, showers of electric sparks seemed to be falling in every direction and the house quivered like an aspen leaf, then all was quiet again. Singular as it may seem everyone was more or less shocked by the holt but Mrs. Gray and her new born babe. They were not affected in the least and the room they were in was the only portion of the house not shattered. Mr. Gray and the child he was carrying were knocked over, his daughter and her cousin who were standing in the front dor were knocked out onto the porch on their backs and others were more or less effected. On coming to Mr. Gray’s first thought was of his wife. Running to her room he found her all right then, procuring a pail of water, he hastened to the garret whence the smoke had already warned him of fire. It was put out without trouble. He next went to look for Mrs. McKinley who bad not appeared. She was found sitting on the cellar steps, dead. Nota mark was to be found on her body and as she was known to have had heart disease it is bzlieved that her death was cansed more from the shock than anything else. Mrs. MgKinley, whose maiden name was Sarah Kreamer, was a native of Centre county, and was 63 years of age. She was the widow of John McKinley, a veteran of the civil war. She took a great interest in the work.of the Woman's Relief Corps, of the G. A. R., of which she was a member. One child a daughter, Mrs. James Gray, with whom she made her home, survives ber; also a brother Edward Kreamer, of Boalsburg, and a sister, Mrs. Helen Roush, of Altoona. She was an aunt of Mrs. Henry Harris of this place. Interment was made Tuesday morning. ~The Gray house was very badly shatter- ed by the stroke. Rafters were splintered and twisted, weather boarding torn off and the plastering perforated until it looked as if it had undergone the cannonading of a battery of Gattling guns. - During the same storm lightning struck the P. R. R. station at Milesharg, playing havoc among the telegraph wires and in- struments and also hit a tree in front of Charles Caldwell’s house, jumping from there onto a clothes line and following it into the homse, where the plaster was knocked off in several places. ff Goon i “MILTON BOYER GONE T0 His LAsT Re- WARD.—An illness with stomach trouble that has lasted over 3 years culminated i in the death Milton Boyer, at his home at Pleasant View, on Friday evening. . Deceased was the son of Mrs. Emma Boyer, of this place, and was born at ‘Washington Furnace 32 years ago. Sur- viving him are his wife, who was Ella Murray, of Milesburg, and three children, his mother; brother Harry and sister Mrs. Kate Derr. There was little of Biighitnes's in this life for poor Milt and we trust that in the great unknown there was something more in store for him. hyson if einai walnut gi DIED IN ALTOONA.—Mis. Ada M. Cor- pelius, wife of Jesse H. Cornelius died at her home: in Altoona early Monday morn- ing. She bad been ill but a short time with catarrh of the stomach.

Johnson has so far ocovered from the effects of the injuries he received from an acci- dent in Pittsburg last tall; as tobe able to” return to his work for the electrical department of the P. R. R.

Koch, one of the young school masters from up in Ferguson, was in tewn on Tuesday taking the teachers’ examination. He was away from home at the time the examination was held up there and had to come here to take it. He had few qualms over the outcome of it and was not the least bit trightened about the possibility of failure. Mr. Koch will teach the Kepler school next year. —Dr. and Mrs. Robert Grier, of Butler, were in Bellefonte and State College during the fore part of the week, spending part of their honeymoon.

This 16 to 1 talk is all a bugaboo. There is no possible way for the currency question to come up again for six years and I am for Bryan and against imperialism.” Four years ago there were 93 gold Democrats in the county. Since Axpy JACKSON has floppad there will be only 92. =Capt. J. A. Hunter, of Stormstown, was in town on Monday and seemed to be very highly pleased with the result of the Kansas City ‘con- vention. The Captain is such a good old Demo- crat that one could hardly expect him to be any- thing but pleased. There was a time, however, when he got switched off a little and the incident proves a very amusing proof of our oft expressed belief that it takes more than a sincere Prohibi- tion candidate to wean a temperance Republican away from his ticket. Several years ago two very honorable and life long Republicans were named for an office having a direct bearing on the license granting privilege by the Prohibition party. Capt. Hunter had faith in the integrity of the nominees and believed them to be consistent temperance men—which they are to this day. Knowing such to be the fact he proposed to support them and approached some of the loudest talking temper- ance Republicans in his community to the same end. They agreed with him as to the sacredness of the cause, the honor of the Prohibition nomi- nees and the need for prohibitive officials, but when election day came they all marched up and voted the old line Republican ticket. It was a case of telk temperance but vote Republican —Jas. B. Noll, of Milesburg, has been in town several times this week making arrangements for the big festival the hook and ladder company will hold in that place on the evening of the 21st. —DMiss Isabel Hipple, of Lock Haven, who had been a guest at the home of Mrs. Louisa Bush, on Spring street for the past week, left for her home last evening. She is a daughter of T. C. Hipple Esq., a prominent Democratic attorney of that city. —Cap’t. W. A. Simpson, of Lock Haver, was in town during the fore part of the week. The Cap- tain and his company expect to participate in our Centennial parade and in the entire line there won’t be a more dignified nor goldierly looking organization. -~Geo. H. Hile, of DuBois, was here to spend Sunday at Pleasant Gap. Though about as’ busy as young men who are successful usually get to be Mr. Hile still can find time to make frequent visits to the home of his mother at Pleasant Gap. —J. B.Alexander, of Union township, was in town yesterday; on business pertaining to the settlement of the estate of the late Irvin Way, of which he is administrator. Mr. Alexander al- ways was a good business man and that accounts for the satisfactory way he is getting the estate settled. —William Gibson and his bride were in town Monday between trains on their way from State College to Oil City, where Will is employed on one of the newspapers. They were married in Dayton on the 8th and came east to spend their honeymoon with his mother, Mrs. Elizsbeth Gib- son, at State College. —J. A. Grove was in town onthe 3rd making a few patriotic purchases for his children. He lives on the farm of his father, Daniel Grove Esq., in Benner township and is what you could truthful- ly call a wide-awake young husbandman. Mr. Grove has been supervisor of his township and is well up in matters of politics as well as agricul- ture. —Al Beachdel, who figures quite prominently in Republican politics down in Howard, was in town on Saturday on a mission of interest to most everyone. He is going to be a candidate for jury commissioner and let it be known right here that he is a very popular man and will make it decid- edly interesting for any one who goes into the Republican convention against him. —Dr. Lee B. Woodcock, who has been in Vien- na since last summer practicing and studying at the government hospital, arrived in New York Tuesday and will spend the mon’hs of July and August at Asbury Park before lceating perma- nently to practice medicine. His mother, who has been in Chambersburg for several months and whose old home was burned there on Sunday morning, and his brother Jay, who is going with the Morrises to the Adirondacks for the summer, are in Philadelphia with him now. —On Saturday afternoon a very pleasant young gentleman walked into this office to make some inquiries and before he left we learned that he was Walter Klepper, the eldest son of Emanuel Klepper, of Philadelphia. He had just arrived to spend his vacation of two weeks from duty in the Philadelphia Brass Spigot works with relatives in this place. Walter's mature looks made the writer feel more antiquated than ever, for it does not take a very old man to remember his father, Emanuel, who lived out at Coleville. They moved to Philadelphia some years ago and have been prospering in the electrical business ever gince. —Talk about people being sought after. There was a man in town last Friday, who, if he was at all conceited, might well be “swelled up.” It was John Workman, of Hecla park. He runs the pleasant little eating house just outside the grounds there and it was on the Fourth that John had thousands of people after “him. The erowd had eaten everything eatable on the grounds then they finished up the great stores he had laid in and when it was all done pestered him away into the night for more. John and his good wife know what such crowds are and held the evenness of their tempers beautifully throughout it all. Of course you understand they made quite a little money that day. = A —L pl ee, ——While running after the mower in the field of his uncle James Sheesley, near Penn Hall, on Friday, June 29th, seven year old Franklin Worrel stepped over the cutter bar and had his foot nearly eut off.
