Griest has severed his connection with his father’s store, A.J. Griest’s,in Unionville, and gone to Philips- burg to take a place in the wholesale es- tablishment of Platt-Barher & Co.

This is a step that the public ought to appreciate,as it was taken at a great sacrifice. The gamblers and fakirs usually pay well for their privileges, but the fair people are going to have none of them. James W. ALEXANDER.—Few deaths that have occurred in this community have been any more of a surprise or been fraught with more sorrow than was that of James W. Alexander on Friday afternoon. It had scarcely been known that he was ill and when the announcement of his death was made at his home on south Thomas street, about 4:30 o’clock, it was so unex- pected as to have been discredited by many who had seen him, apparently in his usual health but two days before. While he had complained more or less about temporary pains in his abdominal regions ever since returning from Chicka- mauga he never gave the trouble serious thought. It culminated Thursday wmorn- ing, while hie was sitting on the front porch at his home. He was seized with violent pains and ‘had to be heiped to bed, where Dr. Locke found him in agony with what was thought to be a stricture of the bowels. The physician worked all day with him and by eight o'clock in the even- ing he seemed to be resting easier. An hour later, however, there was a decided change for the worse and another physician was called in consultation. Mr. Alexan- der’s suffering became so intense that it was apparent that he could not survive unless an operation would be performed. - Accord- ingly Dr. Cozer, of Williamsport, was sent for and arrived with a special nurse on the 9:53 train Friday morning. His diagnosis was a confirmation of thas of the local physicians and they prepared to operate at once. When the incision was made it was discovered that the howels were gangrenous and that nothing could be done for the suf- ferer. James heard the fatal announcement with the fortitude of a hero. He was satisfied that everything possible had been done for him and set about arranging his business affairs as unconcernedly as if he might have been going off fora. little journey. His suffering all the while was agonizing, so that in the afternoon he fell into an uncon- scious condition and slept away to his death. James W. Alexander came of a good old Scotch family, who emigrated to this coun- try about 1736. They were among the early settlers of this part of the State and his great grandfather served with Wash- ington during the Revolutionary war. Deceased was born August 24th, 1864, and had his early home on ‘‘Sunndy-side’’ farm in Spring township, just north of town. He was the only son of the late Senator Cy- rus T. Alexander, a prominent lawyer and Democratic politician in his time. After attending the public schools of the borough for some time he entered the Bellefonte Academy, where he was in attendance three: years. In 1880, on the sixteenth anniver- sary of his birth, he entered the Freshman class at The Pennsylvania State College and in 1884 he completed the scientific course graduating with the degree of Bache- lor of Science. After his father’s death, which occurred in 1885, he prepared for the bar under the direction of Judge John G. Love and was admitted to practice in Centre county, March 4th, 1890. He in- herited his father’s large and complete law library and had already won a reputation as an accurate student. He always practic- ed alone and did a general law business. On July 10th, 1894, he enlisted in Co. B, 5th Reg, N. G. P., as a private and rapidly arose to the rank of sergeant. During the Spanish-American war he served with cred- it as a member of this company. He was a bright, genial fellow, with a clear, fine mind that might have made him a leader at the Centre county bar. His so- cial side was fully developed and he was a member at one time or another, of a num- ber of the local fraternal organizations. He had helped to organize the Heptasophs and until recently was very active in the local ‘Eagle castle.” “He was a member of the Logan Engine Co. and it was largely through his instrumentality that the Bryan club was organized in this place last week, Surviving him are his mother, and one sister, Mrs. H. S. Yarrington. of Richmond, Va. Funeral services were conducted at the house, on Monday afternoon at 2:30, by Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Preshyterian church, after which the long cortege that escorted the body to its last resting place in the Union cemetery was formed. The Cole- ville hand led the way, then Co. B, 5th Reg. N. G. P., the Undine Fire Co.; the Logan Engine Co., Knights of the Golden Eagle, Heptasophs and members of the bar. The service at the cemetery was very brief and at its conclusion three vol- leys were fired over the grave then clear and sad rang out the bugleér’s taps, the last tribute having been paid to the dead. The floral offerings were very lavish. Noticeable among them were a beautiful crescent and star, a single star, a pillow bearing the inscription ‘‘Our Brother’ and a shield of immortels. ~~ FORTNEY HILTON DRANK A QUART OF WHISKEY AND DIED. — Fortney Hilton, whose reign as ‘‘the only real sportin’ coon in town’’ will be remembered in Belle- fonte, was found dead in Lis shoe-shining chair in Coulter's cigar store in Johnstown ‘early Sunday morning. : The coroner held an iriquest ‘on the body and decided that death had been due to dropsy, though thereis a well grounded rumor that Fortney had undertaken to drink an entire quart of whiskey at one time, on a wager. When here he was in the smploy of the Brockerhoffs. 5 (FAHY Sabin op ——An infant son of George Homan died at his home in Aaronsburg and was buried at Wolf's Chapel last Saturday morning. Mes.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY IN CENTRE CouNT¥.—It is quite probable that with- in a short time two routes over which mail will be delivered free in rural districts will be established in Centre county. One will comprehend a greater portion of Pot- ter township, while the other will operate in Ferguson. The Potter township system is well un- der way. Frank I. Taylor, of Media, one of the inspectors of the rural mail delivery system for the Post-office Department, ar- rived at Centre Hall on Tuesday and re- mained there until yesterday, going over the ground carefully. He was very favor- ably impressed with the need for the sys- tem in that locality and with the road facilities. In fact, so much so that he left with the intention of giving the appli- cation his most earnest recommendation. The proposed route through Potter town- ship will have Centre Hall as its central point and will run daily to Old Fort, west to H. F. Bitner faim, thence to Tussey Sink school house and to Colyer, north to Tusseyville, east to Stone Mill, south to Ishler’s corner near Colyer, southwest to Colyer, south to Boal’s saw mill, north by way of J. Moyer's and stone mill to Ran- kle’s corner, northeast to Centre Hill, thence to Red Mill and W. W. Spangler’s, thence to Potters Mills, northeast to M. J. Decker’s, west to Henney near Potter’s Mills, north to H. Royer’s school house, thence to W. A. Kerr's, west to P. Smith’s, north to pike and east to D. C. Keller's thence to J. M.

The Ferguson township people happened to be at the Granger’s picnic yesterday and presented their petition for free delivery to Congressman Hall in person. He endorsed both it and the Potter township route and assured the petitioners that he will spare no effort in the work to secure the es- tablishment of both routes speedily. The Ferguson township route covers 22 miles.” It is intended to be made a daily delivery and will cover the following terri- tory : Starts at Penna Furnace, goes by way of Baileyville and Rock Spring to Ross’ near Pine Grove, thence north to White-hall, road, thence to Van Tries’, thence to Fair- brook, thence to Gatesburg, thence back to Penna Furnace. Seeil NERVY BURGLARS. — Last Thursday night burglars made an unsuccessful at- tempt to crack the safe in the P. R. R. sta- tion at Mill Hall. Notwithstanding they shot it several times and with such force as to nearly wreck the bailding the inner door refused to open and the cracksmen left without being able to get at its con- tents. The safe was so badly wrecked that it had to be sent to Philadelphia for re- pairs. The coolness of the burglars was display- ed in the following incident. Four Miles- burg boys, James Martin, Edward Meo- Clellan, Joseph Shope and John Ammer- man, who had been in Lock Haven that evening, had gone out to Mill Hall to wait for a freight train that would carry them home. They weresitting in an empty box car when a man appeared at the door and ordered them to stop talking so loud, then he told them if they made any outery at the noises they would hear he would shoot them. The boys were thoroughly cowed by this time and the burglar then pulled the car shut, fastened it and left to go about his work. The prisoners in the car heard a number of explosions, but were afraid to make an outcry for fear they might have one set off for their own benefit. They had to remain in the car until Fri- day morning, when men going to work at the brick works heard their cries for help and released them. a THE GALVESTON RELIEF FUND.—A fund has been started in Bellefonte for the stricken sufferers in Galveston to which all who feel able should contribute something. Such a calamity as has befallen that fair southern city is unparalleled in our coun- try’s history and we who never feel the awful destruction ‘of wind or wave should feel it our special duty to give something to the relief of Galveston’s unfcrtunates. The Jackson, Hastings & Co. bank ‘is the depository and assistant cashier Mitch- ell is treasurer of the fund. Leave or send your contribution there with him and | you will receive the proper credit.
