JOHN A. AIKEN.—One of our represen-
tative citizens passed out of this life with
the death of John A. Aiken, which occur-
red at his home, corner of Allegheny and
Bishop streets, on Monday evening. For
twenty thiee years he had been in active
business in Bellefonte, his enterprise hav-
ing extended to all parts of the county,
thus bringing him a wide acquaintanceship
and a host of firm friends who lament his
death. Mr. Aiken wasa charitable, public
spirited citizen, ever ready to do what was
possible of good works. For years he had
been actively identified with the Presby-
terian church and was foremost in all
Temperance, good government or evangelis-
tic movements; lending himself wholly to
the work of upbuilding {and raising his
brothers to a higher plain. He was a
courteous, pleasant gentleman at all times
and his passing is a matter of general re-
gret.
His last illness covers a period of only a
few weeks; grip having precipitated a com-
plication of troubles that he had suffered
with only slightly previous to that
time. He failed rapidly, though there
were intervals when new hope sprung up
in the loving hearts of the watchers at his
bedside. They were but fleeting, how-
ever, and he passed ont of this life as
peacefully as he had lived in it.
Deceased was born in Siglersville, Mif-
flin county, 62 years ago and was the son
of Hugh Aiken. When only 16 years of
age he united with the Presbyterian church
at Reedsville, later entering Washington
and Jefferson college from which institution
he was graduated with honors.
Twenty-three years ago he came to
Bellefonte and engaged in the piano and
music business, being the junior member
of the firm of Bunnell & Aikens. Tater
Mr. Bunnell retired and Mr. Aikens suc-
ceeded to the business and to the owner-
ship of the fine block they had erected at
the corner of Allegheny and Bishop streets.
He was a veteran of the civil war and an
enthusiastic member of Gregg Post, No. 95
G. A. R. He was also a member of the
Royal Arcanum and of the Bellefonte
Lodge F. and A. M.
Thirty-five years ago he was united in
marriage to Miss Adaline Odenkirk, a na-
tive of Milroy, who survives him with their
three children, Mrs. George B. Johnson, of
Beaver Fails, Pa. ; Emma Jane and John
Earle, of Bellefonte.
He also leaves a brother and two sisters,
Mrs. Harey, of Bellview, Ohio ; Mrs. Chas.
Moore, and William H. Aiken, of Altoona.
Funeral services were held at his late
home yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock and
interment was made in the Union cemetery
according to the Masonic rites.
A. M. i a Be Moss Mott died
rather unexpectedly at his home in this
place on Monday evening, after a long ill-
ness with tuberculosis of the bones and
other complications. While he had been
in poor health for several years and had
tried every known remedy it was not until
six weeks ago that he finally gave up per-
sonal oversight of his business and went to
bed.
Deceased was born at the old Mott home,
just above Roopsburg, on Nov. 26th, 1865,
and bad been in the marble business in this
place for the past seventeen years. Sept.
29th, 1892, he was married to Adelle A.

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.—-The wedding,
Tuesday morning, of Helen Beaver Malin,
youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
mer Love Malin, and Mr. Frank McCoy
Shugert, which was anticipated with pleas-
ure as the most important event of the
Easter season, more than surpassed its
promises. It took place at the home of
the bride’s parents on Howard street and
the assemblage, the decorations, the music
—everything was as beautiful and auspic-
ious as the most exacting bride could de-
sire.
The house was radiant with flowers and
although the list of invitations sent out
was limited on account of the groom’s
family being in mourning there were al-
most a hundred guests present. In the re-
ception room Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Pres-
byterian church, awaited the bridal party
and there solemnized the ceremony at 11:30
o'clock. The wedding march was played
by Smith’s orchestra which entertained
the guests with a fine musical program.
Ogden Bailey Malin, the bride's little
brother, and little Miss Lucretia Williams
were the garland bearers and Miss Mary
Ceader, the maid of honor. The bride,
who is acknowledged to be one of the
pretty and most stylish girls of the town,
was exceedingly fair to look upon. She
wore an imported gown of white lace over
heavy silk aud carried Bride's roses.
Her maid of honor, who is also tall and
slender, was gowned in white embroidered
mull over white silk and carried La France
roses.
The wedding breakfast, served ' by
Ceader, after the ceremony was delightfal-
ly good. The bridal party were seateed at
an artistically decorated table in the dining
room while the guests were served at small
tables in the library, reception room and
wide porch, which was enclosed for the oc-
casion. It was a merry party and ended
only when the time drew near for the
bride to make ready for her journey to
Washington and old Point Comfort. Mr.
and Mrs. Shugert departed on the 2:15
train, accompanied by the usual amount of
rice and laughable souvenirs of well wishes.
Upon their return they will make their
home on west Linn street, in the old
Shugert home which has been refitted and
furnished throughout.
The wedding was a beautiful one aud
every detail was happily arranged. Even
the presents attested that more than usual
interest had been taken in it by those who
were prominent in state and social affairs,
for they were not only valuable and many
but carefully selected. The bride is
young, vivacious and a general favorite
among her acquaintances.
She is well known by most of her fath-
er’s friends throughout the State and hers
can be a life of usefulness and happiness.
The groom is one of the McCoy-Shugert
family and is the second son of the late J.
Dunlop Shugert, the banker and financier.
He was connected with the Empire Iron
company when that firm operated the
Valentine furnace and is now associated
with his uncle Frank McCoy in the Linn &
MeCoy chain works.
Among the guests from a distance were
Mrs. F. W. Earnest, Mr. and Mrs. G.
Warley Schock, Mifflinburg; Mr. and
Mrs. John S. Forst, Williamsport; Dr.
and Mrs. P. C. Hoskins and Mrs. William
Burns, West Chester ; Misses Jeanette and
Hanna Malin, Baltimore, Md.; Rufus W.
Parker, Pittsburg ; Mrs. P. G. Rangler,

LOCAL SPORTSMEN SHOOT SPARROWS.-—
The opening sporting event of the season
was the sparrow shoot on the new fair
grounds, on Friday afternoon, under the
direction ‘of the Sportsmen’s League of
Centre county. In addition to its interest
as a shooting event it was extraordinary
hecause of its being the first sparrow shoot-
ing event in this part of the State.
While a number of out of town cracks
were expected the only one who did materi-
alize was George Uzzle, of Clarence. There
were fifteen entries, however, and the
shoot went off in a very satisfactory man-.
ner. The surprising part of it was the
number of birds that were killed. Few
expected good records, because of its being
the first attempt at a target so small asa
sparrow, so that the result was surprising
to all.
The detailed score was as {ollo

on Easter. The attendance was very large
at all the services. The pastor, Dr. H. C.
Holloway, received twenty new members
into his congregation. The individual
communion cup was used for the first time.
The music was exceptionally fine. Mr.
Eugene Wentzel sang ‘“The Resurrection’’
with splendid effect. Miss Edith B. Wertz
sustained her part ably at the organ and
the choir sang admirably.
In the evening the Easter service render-
ed by the Sunday school delighted all.
Miss Lulu Stover had her little ones well
trained. The music was of the highest
order.
The offerings for benevolence were liberal
during the day.

—— Detective Joe Rightnour went to
Altoona on Tuesday to arrest George Green,
his son Blaine and John Kline, all of
Boggs township. He secured young Green
and Kline, but the elder Green could not
be found. The young man was brought to
jail in this place. Kline gave bail in Altoo-
na. The trio were wanted for having
sneaked away goods that had been levied
on by the sheriff as property of George
Green, in Boggs Twp. They hauled them
to Milesburg and shipped under an assam-
ed name, then one night they drove off to
Altoona with a horse and wagon and cow;
leaving only enough goods to partially .
satisfy the sheriff’s claim. ;
