Spring street, Monday evening, Miss Abbie
Kipe, Mrs. Locke’s sister, accidentally set
tire to a chenille curtain. In an instant it
was all ablaze and notwitstanding the most
heroic efforts of the young lady the flames
spread very rapidly and would probably
have caused a serious conflagration had not
a opuple of gentlemen, who were passing
at the time, heard the alarm and ran to the
. aid of the ladies. The farniture in the
room was considerably damaged and Miss
""Kipe was burned slightly.
LiLutAN E. BARRETT—Seldom has the
announcement of a death caused more
genuine sorrow here than that of Lillian
‘Elizabeth Barrett; which occurred at her
home in Wilkesbarre on last Saturday morn-
ing. She was a native of Wilkesharre, but
here she had lived since childhood and here
she was appreciated and loved. Almost
three years ago, on account of ill health,
she resigned her position as head operator
in the Bell telephone exchange, which she
held for a number of years, and went to
Luzerne county in July ’99, for an extend-
ed stay with relatives. Later she engaged
with the People’s exchange and was at
work there when she was taken sick at 6
o'clock on Friday evening. Though she
had expected to sever her connection with
that company on Saturday night prepara-
tory to starting, this week, for a #1x months’
visit in California. She was taken to her
rooms immediately but died without re-
gaining consciousness, at 2 o’clock on Sat-
urday morning, of hemorrages of the brain.
She was the eldest daughter of Dr. J. N.
and Sarah Thomas Barrett, whose sad deaths
only a few months apart are still remem-
bered by many of our older residents. Dr.
Barrett's occurred unexpectedly while he
was returning from Florida and shortly
afterwards Mrs. Barrett with her family
came lrere to visit her sister, Mrs. Rebecca
Burnside, when she too passed away. The
children remained at the Burnside home
for several years but started out on their
own resources as soon as possible. Lilly
was most independent and energetic but
handicapped by ill health hers was a life of
trials and toil—and yet immeasurably full
of charity for others and considerate, kind-
ly actions. She was pleasant, courteous
and pre-eminently trust worthy. To heris
due much of the excellence of the telephone
service of the community for she establish-
ed the standard it aims yet to maintain.
She was a member of the Episcopal church,
devoted to its. work and perfectly ready to
enter into the Valley—the Valley we all
must know—without a misgiving. But
the pity of it. was that she was with strang-
ers and almost alone.
Her older brother, Charles T., lives in
California, while her sister, Mrs. May
Tanton, and her other brother, Edward J.,
are residents of Panca, Indian Ter., so that
not one of her near kin were even able to
attend the funeral. S:rvices were held
Tuesday afternoon in Wilkesbarre at the
home of Mr. Post, a relative, and from
there she was taken to rest in the family
plot by theside of those she revered.

homestead, near Rock Springs, on the 12th
of November, 1824. There he farmed and
figured ‘prominently in the affairs of the
community until the spring of 91, when he
retired and went with his family to Ty-
rone. Mr. Gardner was an old time gentle-
man, intelligent, courteous and good. He

quite active when the church was built,
contributing liberally, and was esteemed
aud respected by all who knew him. He
was a kind and faithful husband and fath-
er, and was ever ready to contribute to the
happiness and welfare of his family and
neighbors and will be greatly missed by

——The name of H. Grattan Donnelly
in connection with anything on the stage
goes a long way toward guaranteeing its
worth so that ‘The American Girl,” that
comes to Garman’s next Tuesday night,
ought to be good, if presented by a capable
company. The Lebanon 7imes of January
17¢h is of the opinion that the company
that will appear here Tuesday night, Feb.
19th, is a good one. ;

——Mrs. Catharine Wilson, of Mounds-
ville, West Virginia was in this office on
Tuesday and requested us to ask anyone
knowing the whereabouts of her daughter
to please communicate with her. Mrs.
Wilson was Kate Miller, of Ferguson town-
ship, and more than thirty years ago she
'| gave her daughter Marietta, whom she is
now so anxious to find, to a family living
near Pennsylvania Furnace. The poor old
sonl was up there on Monday and the only
information she was able to get was that
the family had moved away from that com-
munity many years ago and that her daugh-
ter had since married.

LocAL TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE IN PHIL-
IPSBURG.—The public school teachers of
district No. 5, embracing Rush, Snow Shoe
and Burnside townships and Philipsburg
and South Philipsburg boroughs, will hold
their local district institute.in the High
school room in Philipshurg tomorrow.
' ‘While these sessions are designed, pri-
marily, to help the teachers and promote a
feeling of kindred interest im educational
matters they are very interesting, and in-
structive as well, to the public, to whom
the teachers of the distriot extend a very
cordial invitation to attend the meetings.
‘Two sessions will be held: One at 9
o’cloek in the morning at which the follow-
ing educators will speak: G. H. Lichten-
thaler Esq., of Philipsburg; Prof. H. Robb,
of Snow Shoe; Prof. G. W. Baker, of
Houtzdale, Supt. C. L. Gramley; Prof. T.
Shannon, principal Lamar township, Clin-
ton county, High school; Dr. J. R. Flick-
inger, principal of the Lock Haven Normal
school ; T. L. Crust, S. W. Butler, I. L.
McLarren, Howard Robb, Harry Craine
and Charles T. Waring.
The other session will be called at 1:30
p. m. and the speakers for it are announced
as follows: Prof. T. B. Shannon, Supt.
Charles Lose, of the Williamsport schools;
Dr. J. R. Flickinger, Supt. I. H. Mauser
of the Philipsburg schools, Miss Mary E.
Ward, and Miss Mary E. Flegal.
Hon. Henry Houck, deputy state super-
intendent of public instruction, is to be in
attendance but is not down on the program
for any set address,
We have no doubt that the sessions will
be made very interesting. The Philips-
burg schools have always been up to a high
standard and an excellent corps of in-
stractors ‘are invariably emploved there.
We think, however, that they might dis-
cass, very opportunely at this session, the
question as to whether school entertain-
ments, such as they propose giving in Phil-
ipsburg on the 15th and 16th proximo, are
not injurious to good school work and break
in on the routine of study in such a way as
to have a demoralizing and distracting ef-
fect.

OUR VALENTINES. — Yesterday was a
happy day in the WATCHMAN office and
all because so many of its readers sent us
Valentines. They were not the ordinary,
outrageous caricatures that are designed to
make an editor look and feel like the oft
heard of thirty cents, but were pretty Val-
entines. The kind that make us feel as if
Rockerfeller’s millions aren’t ace high with
our wad.
Down from Empire come one from W, S.
Yeager. It was a little green, of course,
but green is the color that makes the world
go round, and according to our promise we
are not mad at Mr. Yeager. Then P.M.
Weber sent another pretty one from Hunt-
ingdon and we’re not mad at Peter, either,
because we're matches, so far as front names
go. From away up at Austin, Potter coun-
ty, our old friend Abel Campbell enclosed
steel engravings of Lincoln and Grant as a
Valentine day remembrance and says he has
bad his ‘‘share of the grip and ain’t well
vet,”’ but while we sincerely hope he'll re-
cover there is no ground for his getting
proud, because every body down this way
has the grip or has had it. Why it is
actually getting too common to be stylish
any more.
Among the ones that climbed over the
snow banks that blocked the railroad in
Penns-valley Wednesday and Thursday
was one that W. W. Neese sent up from
Spring Mills. It didn’t feel a bit frosty
for its being tied up in the drifts, but we
froze onto it in a way that was enough to
make the pictures of George and Martha
Washington, that were on it, fairly shiver
with pain.
Probably the best one of all was carried
in in person by Jacob Markle, the well
known apiarist of Oak Hall. His was in
the form of two boxes of that delicious
honey for which his bees are famous and,
in addition, he produced enough of that
honey colored stuff that the hees in the
mints make to send his label away along to
1903. : :
Oh. St. Valentine, was certainly good to
us, for he had a whole lot of other
missives and visits that we haven’t time to
mention just now.

A Tie Up oN THE LEWISBURG BRANCH.
—One of the worst tie-ups in the history
of the Lewisburg branch railroad ocourred
Wednesday morning when conductor
Reamer’s east bound passenger train was
thrown off into a snow bank about a mile
and a half east of Centre Hall. A broken
rail caused all the tronble and it took a
wreckiug train and five engines to get th
track cleaned up.
The engine was clear off the track and
the front trucks of the combination coach
also. To add to the trouble the high
winds had blown snow over the rails until
it was piled almost as high as the engines
for a distance of several hundred yards.
Two of the big Hogg engines undertook
to plow through it with the result that
they smashed their pilots flat. Then the
train-men went to work to shoveling.
Both passenger trains and both freights
were tied up, Conductor Reamer’s train
was finally released and got back to Belle-
fonte about 10 o’clock that night. No
mails were brought, however, and the
mails of both days arrived yesterday morn-
ing, when the road was opened and trains
delayed only two hours.

parents in that place. Since his graduation from
the State College he has been located in Utah,
near Salt Lake City.
—Our old friend Michael Sennet, of Runville,
was in town Saturday very much to our surprise,
for we certainly did think that everyone up his
way would be housed up until spring by the
great snowing and blowing it has been doing
lately.
—A. J. Griest Esq., of Unionville, was in town
yesterday looking so “new that we scarcely
knew him, but when we did come to know him
he let us know that he hadn't been in town for
three whole weeks and that is probablyjthe reason
he looked so new.
—Mrs, Aaron Katz is home from Philadelphia,
where she had veen for the past five weeks visit-
ing her sister and enjoying a round of social
gayeties. She was accompanied home by her son
Joseph, who had been over in New York on a
business and pleasure trip.
—James I. McClure was in Harrisburg on busi-
ness on Monday, but just what business James
could have at such a Quay stronghold we are at a
loss to understand. There was] a time when he
was with the Stalwarts, but ifour memory serves
us aright he became an Insurgent two years ago.
—Miss Vera Snook, who resigned a good posi-
tion in the Philipsburg public schools to accept a
better one in the schools at Chatham, N. J., is at
her home in this place, suffering with a nervous
collapse. She has been compelled to give up
school work for some time.

Centre county. Mr. Hasel and Mr. Gates are

young women at Bryn Mawr. She expects to
prepare herself for Wellesley. She was accom-
panied by her aunt, Mrs. Frank McCoy, who is
visiting her daughter Anna, who is also at Miss
Shipley’s.
—D. C. Hall, Esq., of Unionville, was among the
strangers who had business in Bellefonte on Fri-
day. Mr. Hall reported the valley road as not
being badly drifted at that time, but he said that
some of the cross-roads up in Union township
could only be discovered by the tops of the fence
posts marking them out.
—Mrs. Thos. Morris and Harold, her little son,
arrived in town Wednesday evening from Clear-
field and are now guests at the home of Stewart
R. Brouse on Thomas street. Tom has aceepted
a position with a firm in Indiana, Pa., and §while
he is finding out whether he is suited or not. Mrs.
Morris is going to get re-acquainted with her
friends here.
—Capt. P. A. Sellers, of Waddles, was in Belle
fonte on Monday and he remarked that it was the
first time he had been away from home for sever-
al weeks. The Captain was elected a school direc-
tor up in Patton township, but resigned his posi-
tion, consequently knew nothing of the famous
Stone-Love-Gray proceeding on the matter of
the school appropriations.
—Miss Bessie Musser, niece of Thos. H.Harter,
of North Allegheny street, left Wednesday after-
noon for Warriorsmark, where she was a member
of the wedding party in attendance at the mar-
riage of Miss Helen Patton to Wm. A. Hutch-
inson, now of Philadelphia, and a son of George
‘G. Hutchinson, State Dairy and;Food Commission-
er. The ceremony was performed in the Pres-
byterian church there last evening.
—A. A. Miller, of State College, was in town be-
tween trains only on Friday morning. It was
somewhat of a surprise at first that he should have
to hurry back home, for Ab is usually a man of
much leisure, but we notice that he is on the
ticket for school director and he is probably
hustling for it. It is quite certain that he is the
kind of a Democrat who should receive the sup-
port ofall the Democrats and lots of others at
State College.
—George Bridge, of Jersey Shore, was in} town
on Monday ; having come up oa the sad mission
of burying his lamented father. Mr. Bridge is a
native of Centre county, but has been in the em-
ploy of the Beech Creek R. R. for a number of
years. Just a year ago he was here on a visit.
At that time he was a locomotive fireman and had
been laid off for playing a little joke on a fellow
workman, but that bit of ill wind blew him con-
‘siderable good, for he was made an engineer im-
mediately upon his return.
—J. L. Yarnell, of Hublersburg, with Mr. J. H.
McCauley, of the same place, were in Bellefonte
together on Saturday. Mr. Yarnell farms the John
Decker farm, just west of Hublersburg, and en-
joys the reputation of being very much of a gen-'
tleman, as well as a splendid farmer. Now if we
could only say that he isa true-blue Democrat,
like John McCauley, how much it would add to
the other complimentary things that could te
‘said about him. But, perhaps, again he lives in’
“Walker township a few more years he ‘will catch
the infection and be a Democrat. “Boum
~—Miss Ella: Levy spent Saturday and Sunday
in Williamsport visiting the Willards and other
