Gray, at his home in Stormstown, on Monday evening at nine o'clock. Three years ago he suffered a sun-stroke and while his recovery from the effects of it was apparently complete he never seemed to enjoy his former robust health. Later he fell from a wagon, strik- ing his head in such a way as toseverely in- jure him and to these two mishaps un- doubtedly can be traced the brain trouble that he was stricken with seven weeks ago and with which he sank rapidly to his death. Deceased was a son of Peter B. and Eliz- abeth Purdue Gray and was born on the old Peter Gray homestead, in Patton townsnip, 72 years ago. His early life was spent on the farm and even after he had married Miss Belle Blakely and staited in life for himself his first undertaking was to buy the Hartsock farm, nearby, where his energy and exceptional judgment soon be- gan to have its rewards in large profits. Later he quit farming to embark in the mercantile business with his brother, I. V. Gray, in Stormstown. Their success was amazing. Stormstown was then a busy distributing point and money was being made on all sides. The Gray boys built up their store until it became famed as one of the most complete in Centre county. After awhile I. V. Gray retired to go in business in Philirsburg, but William con- tinued at the old stand until ahout ten years ago, when fire destroyed all of his finé prop- erty there. Since that time he has lived a retired life, serving his friends and neigh- bors with whatever help was needed from a man of means and one of rare judgment and integrity. William Gray was one of the oldest members of one of the valley’s oldest fami- lies and his passing marks the loss of anoth- er of those men whose lives have left their impress, indelibly marked in every sphere in the Buffalo-run valley. In his business career he was progressive and correct; in his social qualities we knew no man more genial or gentlemanly and in his interest in the Methodist church, to which he al- ways belonged, he was zealous and con- stant. He is gone and behind him lingers the memory of a good man. Sarviving him are his widow and their son Robert Gray, together with the follow- ing brothers and sisters: Dr. E. J. Gray, Williamsport; J. Green Gray, Half-moon; George Wesley Gray, Buffalo-run,and Mrs. Sarah Wilson, of Newberry. The children of the family who preceded him to the grave were Dr. J. Purdue Gray, of Utica, N. Y.; Mrs. Mary Ann Furst, Mrs. Rebec- ca Beck, who died in Miles City, Montana; Mrs. Francis Gray and Dorsey. Funeral services were held in the Storms- town Methodist church on Wednesday af- ternoon at 3 o’clock, Rev. Runyan officiat- ing, and interment was made in Gray’s burying ground. The pall-bearers were Benner Wilson, Reed Runyan, Gray Herlacher, Musser Ward, Jno. Cowher and Harry Loner. I I li M=s. JULIA BAILEY.—The death of Mrs. Julia Bailey, a well known resident of Beech Creek, at ber home in that place on Friday afternoon was most unexpected and sad. Her only child, Mrs. Edna McClel- lan McCaskey, is seriously ill with ty- phoid fever and she was carefully concern- ed about her, but had been in her usual good health until within a few hours of her death, when she suffered a stroke of paralysis. Mrs. Bailey was a native of Hublersburg, this county, but removed to Beech Creek with her parents when quite young. She was twice married, the first time to a Mr. McClellan and the second time to Judge Bailey, a prominent ¢itizen and Democrat of Wellsboro, Tioga county. After his death she returned to Beech Creek and for the last four years has made her home there with her daughter and only sister Miss Annie Dunkle. She was a woman of pleasing personality and most gracious manner, and like the entire Dunkle family, so hospitable that her home was seldom without guests. She was about sixty years of age and a member of the Presbyterian church. She is survived hy her daughter, whose hushand, Walter B. McCaskey, Lieut. of the 22nd Inf., is now in the Philippines with his company and both of whom are well known here and at State College, one sister and four brothers, Frank, of Wells- boro, Forest and William, of Jersey Shore, and G. Freemont, of Beech Creek.. The. funeral was held on Monday. afternoon at 2 o'clock and interment was made in Fear- on’s hurying ground. ll I I His LiFE CRUSHED OUT AT THE McCAL- MONT KiLNs.—Potter Iddings was instant- ly killed while at work at the McCalmont & Co. lime operations in this place shortly before noon last Friday. He was engaged in riding stone cars from the quarries,down over the narrow gauge road to the kilns, and on the fatal trip he had two cars in charge. It is supposed that he lost con- trol of them in some way, for they shot past the various kilns and ran over the bumper at the end of the trescle, tambling to an ash pit thirty feet below. Iddings was on the cars and as they turned clear over during the fall he was crushed under their weight. possible his mangled body was taken out, but life was extinet. : Deceased was a son of Phillip Iddings, who lived about a mile west of Snow Shoe Intersection. He moved here from Union township last spring and his shocking death has been a sad one to the widow and three children who survive. He was about 50 years old. Interment was made on Monday after- noon. “break. ‘the family circle. As soon as | GEORGE W. WEAVER.—The death of Prof. Geo. W. Weaver occurred at his home in Clearfield on Thursday morning, Augus$ 30th. It was not unexpected for he had been suffering since last summer, when he was stricken with paralysis while standing at the railroad station in Tyrone. He re- covered sufficiently to resume his work as superintendent of schools of Clearfield county and kept up until after the an- nual institute sessions when he entered a sanitarium at Clifton Springs, N. Y., where he became much better, but his re- relief proved only temporary. Deceased was born at Pine Grove Mills, this county, in 1846. He was educated at Pine Grove Academy and State College. For many years he had been principal of the Carwensville public schools and assist- ed in the county normal schools during the superintendency of Supt. J. A. Gregory, subsequently he served five years as the principal of the Penfield schools. In 1896 he was chosen county superintendent of Clearfield county, and re-elected in 1899, hence at the time of hisdeath he had one year and ten months to serve of his second term. In speaking of him the Clearfield Rafts- man’s Journal says : As an educator Prof. Weaver took first rank, as a conscientious officer of the pub- lic schools he was everywhere recognized, and as a christian gentleman he held a place in the confidence of the people rarely held by a public officer. He was a mem- ber of the M. E. church and a member of the I. O. O. F., of Curwensville. In1878 he was married to Miss Francis LaPorte, a teacher in the Curwensville public schools, who survives him. The funeral took place on Saturday from the M. E. church at Cur- wensville. The floral tributes were many and beautiful and the church was crowded with friends and mourners. Rev. Foster, of Clearfield, Rev. Wood, of Tyrone, and Rev. Rue, of Curwensville, officiated. The pall bearers were Thomas H. Murray, Esq., Geo. W. Rheem and Harry Powell, from Clearfield, and Alex E. Patton, Fred J. Dyer and H. B. Thompson, of Curwens- ville. It is hard to see one in the midst of a useful life stricken by disease from whose grasp there is no appeal, but it is a proud tribute to the character of the deceased to know that at the close of his peaceful and useful career, when the monster death fastened itself upon his frame and he knew he had to depart that he could ask the question as did Everett, ‘‘What sould I have done unto my vineyard that I have not done unto it.”’ fi: pe f ARCHIBALD C. HUTCHINSON. — The death of one of Huntingdon county’s most prominent citizens occurred at noon on Sunday when Arebibald C. Hutchinson passed away at his home one mile south of Warriors-mark. He had suffered for sev- eral years with Bright's disease and while ‘his death deprives that community of a man of far more than ordinary calibre and entails profound sorrow it was not unex- pected. He was aged 71 years and 8 months. He was born, and with the exception of a short residence in Centre county many years ago, he always lived upon the farm where he died. This farm had been occupied by his father, Benjamin Hutchin- son, and his grandfather, Archibald Hutch- inson, before him, and has been tilled by the family for over a century. The de- ceased was married to Miss Margaret Gray, of Half-moon valley, and she with their four daughters, Laura, Annie, Alice and Maude, survives him. Mr. Hutchinson was prominent in church, social and po- litical life in Huntingdon county and was always regarded as a splendid type of pro- gressive, sturdy, upright manhood. The funeral was held Tuesday morning, services at his late home being conducted by his pastor, Rev. George L. Comp, at 10 o'clock, interment in the Warriors-mark Methodist souiery. 0 A GooD WOMAN.—Mis. Ruth Sharp, whose energy, uprightness and patient cheerfulness might well be taken as an ex- ample even by those who would be far more prominent and by every one who would be respected, died at the home of her son, James Sharp, in Coleville, on Friday evening. She had been sick for many months with some disease of the stomach and her family knew that she could not recover, although she was most carefully and tenderly nursed by her daughter-in-law and was hopeful herself to the very last. She was a most faithful member of the Methodist church and throughout her long life of toil and sacri- fice constantly attended its services and did all that she was able to do for its cause. She was about seventy- -four years old and her husband, George Sharp, died many years ago. Of her eight children five are. living : Mrs. Mary Stringfelt, of Lewis- town ; James D., of Coleville ; Mrs. Sarah Waite and Mrs. Elizabeth McCafferty, of ‘this place, and William Sharp, of Peters- burg. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in the Methodist church by her pastor, Rev. Shriner,after which interment was made in the Vuion cemetery. —— Mrs. Levi Williams died in a Phila- delphia hospital on Monday morning from the effects of an operation she underwent on the previous Thursday. She was a daughter of William Lucas, of Chester Hill, near Philipsburg, and. was 31 years old ; her death having been the first to Surviving her are her husband, who is a telegraph ope- rator in Philadelphia, and her three year old daughter, Lucille, besides her parents and three brothers and sisters ; among the latter being Mrs. Ida Poorman, of Miles- ‘burg, and Harry, who is in the Klondike region. Her body was taken to Philips- burg for burial. ad a Daniel A., the four sonths old son of Jacob and Clara Kerstetter, died at their home in Coburn at 6 o'clock Momday evening. Burial was made Thursday morn- ing. THE NEW BRYAN LEAGUE.—At a meet- ing held in the Democratic headquarters in Temple Court, on Wednesday evening, there was an unusually large and enthu- siastic crowd present to help in the organi- zation of a Bryan League for Bellefonte and vicinity. Such interest as was mani- fested has seldom been surpassed by the many similar events in Centre county’s political history and the enthusiasm with which all determined to rally to Bryan was in marked contrast with the opening of the campaign here four years ago, when it was really difficult to find someone tospeak for the matchless Nebraska leader. The meeting was presided over by S. A. McQuistion of the West ward, the princi- pal business having been the adoption of the report of a committee that had been ap- pointed some time before to draft plans for a permanent organization. The committee was composed of Messrs D. F. Fortney, M. I. Gardner, H.S. Taylor, J. W. Alexander, S. D. Gettig, Thos. Howley and John Traf- ford. They reported in favor of the follow- ing : President, Col. J. L. Spangler; vice pres- idents, David J. Kelly, North ward, Thos. Howley, South ward, J. W. Alexander, West ward ; secretaries, Charles R. Kurtz, George R. Meek; treasurer, John Trafford: Executive Committee, Hon. William C. Heinle, chairman, Hon. C. M. Bower, Hou. Fred Kurtz, Hon. James Schofield, Hammon Sechler Esq., W. Harrison Walker, P. H. Gherrity, John Walsh, Jas. Kane. Finance Committee, J.C. Meyer, chair- man; Hon. P. Gray Meek, A. C. Mingle, Hon. Jno. T. McCormick, John M. Shugert, Jno. M. Keichline. Membership Committee, T. F. Adams, chairman; William T. Kelly, Robert F. Hunter, Boyd A. Musser, A. B. Kimport, Frank Walz, William Dawsen. The organization was adopted as suggest- ed and it was then decided to procure the rooms in the Reynolds bank building occu- pied by the club four years ago. After all the business had been transact- ed speeches were made by J. C. Meyer, D. F. Fortney, H. S. Taylor, Hammon Sechler and W. H. H. Walker. The next meeting will be held in the new rooms on next Wednesday night. Everybody will be welcome. THE VETERANS’ PICNIC.—The picnic of the Centre County Veteran Club at Hecla park on Saturday was not as well attended as usual, there being an unusually small turn out of veterans, as well as of ovher guests. Of course the ranks of the old soldiers are becoming thinner every year and it was not to be expected that there would be as many of them as in the past, but the unexpected changing of the place for holding the reunion incensed many who staid away on that account. Rev. Shriner, of the Methodist church, Gen. Beaver, Col. Jno. A. Daley and Col. D. F. Fortney delivered the principal ad- dresses of the day, after which a resolution was passed appropriating $1,000 to the monument fund. The Veteran Club had promised that amount toward the monu- ment, but no formal bequest had been made. The next meeting of the Club will be held at Pine Grove Mills, in September, 1901. r— i Cox’s LIVERY IN NEw HANDS.—On Saturday Jno. M. Dale, Thomas A. Shoe- maker, John Blanchard and John M. Shugert bought the stock and equipment of the Palace livery and boarding stable in this place and as soon as the transfer had been made Jesse K. Cox, its former owner, retired and Will Larimer took charge. The purchasers are the gentlemen who have been interested in the Bellefonte Sale and Exchange Co. and also in the new fair grounds. They have been dealing very extensively in horses lately and the pass- ing of the Cox stable into their hands means that it will be fitted out with a very complete line of modern vehicles. The old Bush house stable will still remain under the control of this company and the Lari- mer Bros. will manage both of them. The Palace is the largest stable in Centre county, arranged with the latest improve- ments; the building being owned by the estate of the late Dr. Miller Stewart, of Pine Glenn. A Ca in PROBABLY THE TAIL OF THE GALVES- ToN TORNADO.—It is quite probable that the violent wind storm that swept over this | county early Wednesday morning was the ‘tail of the terrible tornado that laid such direful desolation and death in its wake about Galveston, Texas, on Sunday. The wind blew a perfect gale for several ‘hours, breaking limbs from trees, stripping orchards of their fruit and sending blind- ing clouds of dust everywhere. The storm was particularly severe at Grange park, where slight damage was done to the work in progress for the big picnic next week. In the vicinity of Lock Haven trees were uprooted. telegraph and telephone wires blown down and general havoc played by the winds. ——Mrs. Pauline Lichten, of Philadel- phia, and her accomplished little danghter Alma, are staying with her mother, Mrs. Estelle Lyon, of east Linn street, while her sister, Mrs. Louis Grauer,is making her an- nual fall visit in Philadelphia.
