Smyser, presiding elder of the Altoona district of the Central Penn- sylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, died unexpectedly at the home of John S. Hoover, at 1424 Seventh Ave., in Altoona, at an early hour Monday morning. Rev. Smyser was a resident of Bellefonte, but had gone to the Mountain city on the'day before his death to take part in the preliminary arrange- ments for the building of a new church, in which he was deeply interested. He had not been well for some time previous, the new and arduous duties of elder having taxed his strength to its utmost he was so zealous in his christian endeavors that, unmindful of his condi- tion, he took upon himself the most part of the arrangements for the convention of Pennsylvania Methodists which was car- ried out so successfully at Harrisburg sev- eral weeks ago. He was one of the vice presidents and the secretary of the conven- tion. Exhausted thus the cold that settled on his lungs while at a quarterly meeting at Williamsburg recently produced com- plications with his heart that resulted in his unexpected death. . He was unwell. when he left his home here Saturday morning, but on Sunday morning he carried on the opening service in she Eighth Ave. church, in Altoona, where Bishop Joyce preached that day. In the afternoon he became seriously ill and bad to go to bed. Early in the evening he be- came slightly better and then fell to sleep. Mr. Hoover sat by his bedside until mid- night, when the patient seemed to be rest- ing so comfortably that he left the room. He returned at four o’clock inthe morn- ing, and was startled to find that life had ‘| fled; probably some time before. Every indication pointed to the conclu- sion that Rev. Smyser had passed away as peacefully as he had lived. His life was gentle and placid as a summer day. A#t all times he seemed to be surrounded by the sweet Spirit of the Master and in our short acquaintance with him we had come to love him for the very air of peace and good will that he seemed to carry to all men. “The body was brought to his late home here Monday night by Hon. Jno. G. Love, Col. W. F. Reeder, W. T. Twitmire, John I. Olewine and G. W. Rees, a committee from the church, who went up to bring it back. Short services for the family were held at the residence on Curtin street on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, after which a memorial service was held in the Presbyterian church. There were a great many clergymen from a distance present to participate in it and the addresses attested the rare character of their departed broth- er. The speakers, were Dr. Evans, pre- siding elder of the Danville district; Rev. J. A. H. Black, presiding elder of the Williamsport district; Dr. Stevens, pre- siding elder of the Juniata district; Dr. D. 8. Monroe, of Shamokin; Dr. Pardoe, of Renovo; Dr. Edw. J. Gray, of Williams- port; Rev. W. A. Houck, Mt. Carmel; Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Bellefonte Presbyterian church and Rev. Shriner, of the local Methodist church. The body was taken to York on Thurs- day. Services were held in the First Methodist church in that city, and inter- ment was made there the same afternoon. Martin Luther Smyser was born in York, Pa., March 12th, 1841, of Lutheran pa- rentage. Early in life he became a fol- lower of John Wesley and joined the Methodist church at York. In 1863 he entered the ministry, receiving his ap- pointment from the East Baltimore Con- ference, having served one year previously under the presiding elder. He has been connected with the Central Penna. Con- ference since 1872, and had served at Belle- fonte, Philipsburg, Bloomsburg, Berwick, Chambersburg and Bedford... From. 1886 to 1888 he was presiding elder of ‘the Dan- ville district. After that he was associated with Rev. Dr. 8. C. Swallow in joint su- perintendency of the Conference hook rooms at Harrisburg. In 1895-96-97, he was pastor at Lewistown, in 1898 at the Mulberry street church, Williamsport, and in 1899 at the First church, Shamokin. At the annual Conference last March he was appointed presiding elder of the Altoona district and has since resided at this place. Shortly alter entering the ministry he was united in marriage with the daughter of Wm. Hoffman, a successful paper man- ufacturer, residing at Hoffman’s Mills, Md. Three children were born to this union, who, with his wife, survive him. His children are Wm. E. Smyser, profes- sor of languages in Wesleyan University at Delaware, Ohio, and Jennie and Grace at home. He was pastor of the Bellefonte Metho- dist church from 1872 to 1875. Rev. Smyser held a high rank among the ministers of the Central Penna. Confer- ence of the Methodist church. It was during his pastorate at Lewis- town and Curwensville that the initiatory steps were taken leading to the erection of the large church edifices in those places. He was a man of indomitable energy, which, with his nobleand generous nature, his abilities as a student and preacher and rare executive power made him a leader in his denomination. The successor to Rev. Smyser will be ap- pointed by the bishop selected at the meet- ing now in session at Treuton, N. J., to preside over the Central Penna. Conference for the next conference year. i Beso ~——Earl McCaully, aged 16 years, died Sunday morning at the home of H. W. Hollopeter, at Dean, in Cambria county. He was the son of Allen R. McCaully, of Bald Eagle Furnace and his body was tak- | en there for burial on Tuesday morning. JoHN DuxNLoP SHUGERT—Johu Dunlop Shugert, financier, manufacturer and couin- sellor, one of the best known men in Cen- tre county, died at his home on east Linn street, this place, at 8 o'clock Friday morn- ing. He bad been ill for nearly a year with a cancerous affection of the face, but his condition did not assume alarming symptoms until a short time previous to his death,consequently it was a great shock to this community. s Deceased was born in Bellefonte, June 26th, 1837, and was the eldest son of Samuel T. and Deborah M. (Dunlop) Shuogert, and was a direct descendant, on his mother’s side, of John Dunlop, one of the founders of the town. His grand- father, Joseph B. Shugert, and his father, S. T. Shugert, were identified with the early business history of the county, the latter having been commissioner of patents under President Buchanan. He was educated in the schools of Belle- fonte and at the early age of fifteen receiv- ed an appointment as clerk in the prothono- tary’s office of Centre county under John T. Hoover, and soon after commenced read- ing law in the office of Samuel Linn. Feb, 2nd, 1860, he was admitted to the bar. He immediately opened an office in Bellefonte and for two years devoted himself to the practice of law. He later served two terms as deputy treasurer of the county and in 1868 was himself elected to that office by the Democratic party. His administration developed exceptional financial faculties so that when on Jan. 6th, 1868, the late Andrew G. Curtin, Gen. Beaver, Col. Jas. H. Milliken and others organized the Cen- tre County Banking Co. he was selected as the cashier of the new institution. Under his keen direction the bank flourished until it is now reputed to be one of the strongest private financial institutions in the State. He was married Dec. 23rd, 1869, to Mary S., daughter of the late Dr. John M. Me- Coy. She died September 29th, 1883. The following children survive: John M., Frank M., Jean, wife of David T. Kelly, and Kathatine, all of Bellefonte. One brother William Findley Shugert, of Washington, D. C., and one sister, Mrs. Wm. E. Burchfield. of Philipsburg, also survive. Mr. Shugert was a man whose whole life was devoted to his family and business. During business hours he was constantly at his desk in the bank, but with all the cares that such work carried with it, as well as the interest he had in the McCoy iron works and the chain works, he was never too busy to coansel with a friend seeking advice. In, fact his judgment was considered so sound that he was constant- ly sought by those contemplating ventures of every sort. Funeral services were held at his late home on Monday morning, Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian church, officiating. The pall-hearers were : Hon. A. O. Furst, Judge John G. Love, Dr. A. M. Hibler, J. L. Kurtz, Chas. F. Cook, J. P. Harris, Dr. Geo. F. Harris, Wm. Dale, J. Howard Lingle, Col. James P. Coburn and Lyman T. Eddy. Interment was made in cemetery.

Humes, John M. the Union ANOTHER FATAL WRECK ON THE BEECH CREEK.—Fatality seems to be the word hanging over the Beech Creek system. Recently there have been so many wrecks on that line that it is time for the officers to reorganize its working system or see that orders are more strictly adhered to. About five o'clock Saturday morning a freight train stopped at the water tank above Beech Creek and the flagman did not follow the usual rule of going back along the track to hold any train that might be following. The track was straight at that place and he took it for granted that the train could be seen, but it was very foggy and engineer Bridge, who was following with another freight, did not see the one that was stopped at the tank until he was within a few feet of its caboose. Then it was too late and his engine bumped into it ; smashing it into kindling wood. Three cars ahead were broken up and two cars behind the engine suffered a like fate. The engine was thrown crosswise on the track, with the pilot down over an enbankment. In the caboose there were four men. One of them was killed and the other three were badly hurt. The killed man was flagman Riddles. His body was taken from under the fire box of the engine about an hour after the collision occurred. His arms and legs were burned off, and his body was burned to a crisp. He was 23 years old, and un- married. His parents reside at Westport, to which place his remains were sent for interment. Conductor Ira McCoy had both legs crushed and was otherwise so seriously in- jured that he died at his home in Jersey Shore that evening. Brakeman W. 8. Triebel’s collar bone was fractured. He was also otherwise in- jared. W. C. Roberts, the fourth man io the ca- boose, was going to Mahaffey. He is the engineer of a steam derrick and was going to that place to lift a derailed engine on the track. He was asleep when the collis- ion occurred. His injuries consists of severe cuts abont the face and head and ugly bruises. Dr. W. E. Mohn, of Jersey Shore, was taken to the scene and dressed the i injuries 1 of the men, The wrecking crews were soon at the wreck and began the work of clearing the tracks. The body of the dead man and the in- jured men were placed on a carand were taken to Jersey Shore. They arrived in that place about 9.30 o'clock. ‘ il eye THE LAST OF A SERIES OF NOTABLE WEDDINGS. —The last of the notable social functions that have made this fall a mem- orable one in Bellefonte will be the mar- riage of Myra Holliday, daughter of Col. and Mrs. J.

Furst’s lecture ‘on the Passion Play at Oberammergau, in the court house, Monday night, was great- ‘ly pleased. He has evidently given the subject much thought and study and his “descriptions were fine. But more than any other traveler that we have ever heard, ‘was he impressed by the reverence and fitness of those Bavarian peasant actors and the sacredness of their theme. That ‘thought he imparted to his audience at ‘once, and that it was entertainingly receiv- ed was evidenced by the wrapt attention with which his hearers listened throughout the evening. Thelecture was gratifying too, from a financial standpoint, for he had ‘a very good house. It was given for the ‘benefit of the new chapel at Pleasant View. re Gp rere. ——Fine fur collarettes and boas at low- lest prices. Lyon & re: —Our reaerae 1 friend D. D.
