Mrs. Long was a native of Huntingdon county where she was born Jan. 20th,1826, in Black Log valley. She was a daughter of Cornelius Logan who resided for many years at Howard, this county. In 1846 she was united in marriage to John Long Sr., and for more than fifty years has made her home in this place. She was a quiet, diligent woman, looking well to the com- fort of her household when she was able and a devout member of St. John’s Catho- lic church. g She is survived by her husband, one son, William, of this place, nine grand children and twenty great grand children. Of her father’s family only one of her sisters, Mrs. Catherine Flack, is living. Funeral serv- ices will be held Saturday morning at ten o’clock in St. John’s Catholic church.

Her maiden name was McCliney and her early life was co- incidental with the early settlement of the county. If is said that in the early days she brought the family marketing to Belle- ' fonte on horseback, over trails that had not been broken sufficiently for wheeled vehi- cles. Surviving her are her children John, Samuel, James, David, Mary Ann, Eliza- beth, Rachel and Emma. ee A CHILD DROWNED AT SALONA—While playing by the bank of the big spring at Salona, on Friday afternoon, the two year old son of Edward Powers, of that place, lost its balance and fell into the water, drowning before it had heen missed. The men at Knapp’s saw mill, near by, saw the little tot throwing pebbles into the water, but went on with their work. When they had returned to the mill with a load of logs they were told that the child was missing and naturally thought of the spring at once. There, not 600 feet from the place they had seen it, the little body was found floating on the water. Samuel Emert and Oscar Knapp got it out and carried it home; summoning Dr. Holloway at once, but he pronounced it dead when he arrived. Interment was made at Cedar Hill on Monday afternoon. : I I li ——The death of Miss Elizabeth Keller, which occurred at the home of her father, P. F. Keller, at Centre Hall, on last Fri- day night. was none the less sad because it had been known for some time that she had been suffering with consumption.

Funeral services were held at her late home by Rev. Kershner of the Reformed church, of which she was a zealous member. The pall bearers were Misses Mabelle Keller, Estella Acker, Jennie Thomas, Lizzie Sny- der, Edith Ritter and Carrie Spicher.

ALTOONA, Pa., April 15.—A bituminous coal deal involving the consideration of $2,- 000,000 has just been consummated. It is claimed J. P. Morgan was the prime mover and has effected the greatest deal in coal lands, coke ovens and mines ever known in this section. All the interests of the Mitchell Coal and Coke Company, of Gallitzin passes to the control of the Webster Coal and Coke com- pany, which is composed of prominent Le- high Valley capitalists headed by T. H. Watkins, of Allentown. This company has recently acquired all the interests of John C. Scott & Sons at Summerhill ; the Cresson Company’s shaft at Cresson, and the Amsbry mines at Amsbry. The pur- chase of the Mitchell lands and mines adds to their output 4,500 tons of coal and 1,000 tons of coke daily. The deal, in addition to operations at Gallitzin, Hastings, Bens Creek and Nan- tyglo, in Cambria county, includes the Bennington works in Blair county, a large mine at Osceola, Clearfield county, and 10,000 acres of undeveloped lands in Cam- bria county, recently purchased by the Mitchell company. Italso embraces the Gallitzin Electric Light Company, the Gal- litzin Water Company, the Hastings Elec- tric Light Company, and water companies and four large stores doing business under the name of Cartright & Co. Spring Mills. Repairing and building fences is now in full force. Garden making will soon follow, and then comes the white wash brush, and house cleaning with all its attending ter- rors, Aspirants for the postmastership are loom- ing up quite lively. J. P. Long, our present efficient postmaster, is still in office, and no doubt, like many eof the stories in our maga- zines—to be continued. Easter proved an unpropitious day here fer any special display of spring suits. Over coats and wraps were more in demand than summer garbs. Even the ultra fashionable refused to array themselves in their spring styles of purple and fine linen. Farmers say that the wheat fields in this valley look promising. Dr. D. M. Wolf commenced his high school in the academy building for advanced scholars on Monday last. The session to continue for ten weeks. Sixty students were present which has now increased to seventy- five, and the cry 1s ‘still they come.” It was reported in one of our county news- papers last week, that Major Huss, boot and shoe maker of our village, contemplated moving to Centre Hall. This statement, the Major says, has no foundation, he will let well enough alone and remain where he is. The trout season opened on Monday last. Of course all the trout streams in this neigh- borhood were well attended. It might be safely said that almost an army of fisher- men lined their concave shores ’til a late hour. No very large catches have been re- ported. M. B. Huss, of Johnstown, formerly of this Place, made us a flying visit last week. Mr. Huss is a skillful musician and at present is in a band connected with the Walter L. Main show, and . will leave with the show ina few days, for the western States and along the Pacific coast.

Jemison, one of our active citizens, besides being a successful farmer, is heavily engaged in the fire insurance busi- ness, and between the two vocations has few idle moments. The Colonel has heen en- gaged in fire insurance for many years and has built up a large: business, representing only the best companies in the United tates. The Fox case we had before Squire Her- ring a few weeks since, continues to be dis. cussed by the idle—when they have nothing else to talk about. The case will come up in court the last of the month for a reversal or confirmation of the ’Squire’s decision. This trifling affair has caused as much discussion and commotion in our village, as would the invasion of the valley by an army with ban- ners. The gossip seems to be fun for the thoughtless, hut the grave and judicious have become weary of it. Pine Grove Mention. Lillian Musser is rec vering from an at- tack of Scarlet fever.
