THE PROPOSED AMERICAN LIME AND STONE Co.—Bellefonters have been more or less interested in the proposed combina- tion of the lime and stone interests of the country into a great trust. And it is but natural that they should, since the manu- facture of lime and ballast holds such an important place among the industries of this community. At first it was announced that the trust would be incorporated under the laws of New Jersey, with a capital of $20,000,000 and controlling the entire lime business of five States, but the prospestus of the pro- posed corporation, just issued, shows that the capital will be $6,000,000 and that the charter will be taken out at Harrisburg. Instead of controlling the lime and lime stone of five States it now aims to combine all the best lime stone, sand stone and trap rock quarries in Pennsylvania on the lines of the Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia and Reading railroads. Under the present plans Robert Kelso Cassatt. a son of A. J. Cassatt, will be president of the new concern. The Amer- jcan Trust Company, of Pittsburg, and probably the Commercial Trust Company, of Philadelphia, will head the underwrit- ing syndicate. . MANY OPTIONS ARE HELD. Options have been obtained on the prop- erties and equipment of the following : The Conemaugh Stone Company, the J.T. Dyer Quarry Company, the Knickerbocker Lime Company, Glen Mills Crushed Stone Company, Keystone Lime and Stone Com- pany, McCoy Lime Company, A. G. Morris Lime and Stone Company, Pennsylvania Lime Company, Funk Lime Company, Roaring Run Stone Company, R. A. White- side Quarries, McCalmont & Co., Betts & Co., J. K. McLanahan, M. Saylor & Co., Todd & Son, and the D. Z. Kline lime stone property. These plants have a daily capacity of 12,000 cubic yards of cut sand stone, 17,- 000 tons of railroad ballast, 4,500 tons of furnace stone and 31,000 bushels of lime. The new concern will supply the Pennsyl- vania railroad with ballast and bridge stone, and furnish all the ground lime stone used for flux in the Carnegie and oth- er big iron furnaces in the State. NEEPER IN THE DEAL. A. M. Neeper, of Pittsbarg, who took part in the organization of the Pittsburg Coal Co., is interested in this lime and stone combine, which will probably have close relations with the Pennsylvania rail- road. All the properties merged will be taken over on a basis of part cash and part stock. The directors will be elected from among the following : Robert K. Cassatt, Wm. B. Irvine, H. 8. Kerbaugh, Frank Brown, J. Wainwright and H. G. Riebenack, of Philadelphia; John T. Dyer, of Norris- town; I. H. Todd, of Port Kennedy; A. G. Morris, A. A. Stevens and Geo. Stevens, of Tyrone; A. A. Catenach, of Devault; Alexander McCoy, of Bridgeport; J. K. MecLanahan, of Hollidaysburg, and C. A. Morris, A. M. Neeper and J. W. Boileau, of Pittsburg. The options held on the properties around Bellefonte expired yesterday but Tuesday A. G. Morris, of Tyrone, and J. W. Boileau, of Pittsburg, arrived and had them extended for a period of thirty days, which would indicate that the trust has either not been able to secure control of all the properties it would like to get or that the matter of organization is taking more time than was expected. — A ee — ——Ainesworth and Rosebud, the two popular racers that were here last season, have been entered for the free-for-all at the great fair next week. — A —— — One of the additional amusement features engaged, for the great fair next week is Westlake’s London Gaiety Co. in- cluding forty clever vaudeville performers, who will exhibit in three large tents. ie — Linn S.

He was a former em- ployee and not wishing to prosecute this man, no information was made against him and the proprietors ordered his re- lease. This action, however, has displeas- ed some of the Philipsburg citizens, who are circulating a petition asking the dis- trict attorney Spangler to push the case. —— ee — His UMBRELLA WAS STRUCK.—While on his way home from Nason’s lumber camp, where he is cook, David Williams was caught in a thunder storm.

DEATH OF A WELL KNowN WOMAN. —Mrs. Mary Hamilton, one of the oldest residents of the town, who was beloved by a wiae eirele of relatives and favored with many friends, passed away at her home on east Howard street Saturday eveniog at ten-thirty. Mrs. Hamilton was remark- ably well and active for one of her age un- 4il within a few months of her death and she had only been ill about eight weeks with kidney trouble. Born in Dysart, county Clare, Ireland, Jan. 5th, 1812; she was the eldest daughter of Thaddeus and Mary Curtin Brew hoth of whom died years ago. In 1831 shecame to America with her parents and lo- cated in this county, where, with the ex- ception of a few years after her inarriage, the balance of her life was spent. She was married to William Hamilton in 1832 and in 1865 they established their home here, where she has always been appreciated as an excellent woman and an earnest mem- ber of the Catholic church. Her family have been - remarkable for longevity. Her mother, who died in 1881, attained the age of 90 and her father who passed away in 1875, wae in his 89th year. She has three sisters living, all of whom are over eighty years of age and her grand father died in Ireland at the advanc- ed age of 100 years. A co-incident of her death was that she breathed her last in the same room in; which both - ber father and mother passed away. © Ie > She {s survived by two of her’ four chil- | dren Thaddeus, who resided with her in the old hone, and Thomas, of Williatnsport. Of her father’s family she is survived by three sisters, Mrs. B. A. Nolan, of Wash- ington, D. C.; Mrs. Nora McClain, of this place and Mrs. Ellen Kelley, of Burling- ton, Ia. , Her funeral took place Tuesday morn- ing at 10 o'clock. Mass was celebrated in St. John’s Catholic church by the Rev. P. MoArdle, after which interment was made in the Catholic cemetery. The pall bear- ers were John I. Potter, John C. Miller, H. S. Taylor, Vincent Bauer and Dr. Joseph Brockerhoff. I I I — Rev. Walter Lowrie, the young New York clergyman whose accidental drowu- ing was reported from Newport on Friday, was a native of Warriors-mark and was quite well known in Bellefonte. The young man had only been out of college a short time. At Princeton he took a namber of prizes and at the Union theo- logical seminary the same brillianey mark- ed his course, so that bright things seemed to be in store for him in the ministry. He was in Newport as the guest of a friend and while in bathing suddenly disappear- ed. His body was recovered later and brought to his parental home at Warriors- mark for burial. fl. I I H. C. BROOKS. —Aside from the sorrow to the near and dear ones at home the death of such a man as Harry Brooks is a matter of more than passing regret to every community in which be was known. After an illness of two weeks, with an affection of the hears, he died at his home in Tyrone last Friday night, leaving a wife and two children. Mr. Brooks was born in Phila. delphia in 1848, but moved to Tyrone in 1883, the location being more central for the territory he covered as a hardware salesman. - He wasa fine type of man, so ‘genial, open hearted and friendly that his death will bring genuine sadness to many. Eo —— Mrs. Caroline L. Tyler, an aged resic dent of Altoona, died at her home Satur- day evening of paralysis after an illness of seven weeke. She was the widow of Levi Tyler and her maiden name was Price. ‘She was born at Mill Hall July 11th, 1839, and is survived by ten children. She is also survived by the following sisters and brothers, Mrs. Anna Whippo and A. 8. Price, of Port Matilda; A. R. Price, of Hannah, and Mrs. Mary Houck, of Dry Hollow. She was a member of the U. B. church and the funeral was held Monday afternoon. : fl I ——Mrs. Mary P. Faust, wife of Samuel Faust, died last Friday morning, at her home at Spring Bank, aged 68 years, 5 months and 18 days. She was a daughter of Daniel Rishel and was born in Miles township. On May 27th, 1858, she was married to Samuel K. Faust aud to them a son and daughter were born, but both have died. Mre. Faust was ill for a long time before her death. Rev. Doerstler conducted funeral services over her remains on Monday and interment was made at Rebersburg. : THE DIFFERENCE. — When the great Centre county fair was first projected many people looked askance, others were indif- ferent, some actually threw cold water on the enterprise and the great mass said : *‘It won’t go.” The young men at the head of it were determined that it should ‘‘go”’ and ‘‘go’ it did. Every promise made was fulfilled by the management and the thousands who were there to enjoy the fair marveled at the things that bad been accomplished in such a short time. But, mark you, the work was no small undertaking, especially when exhibitors held aloof and bad to be coaxed into making a show of their wares. This year it is different. The great fair ig es- tabliched on a firm, honest basis, the public recognizes the fact aud instead of waiting to be sought is making an effort to lend a hand. Numbers of farmers, manufacturers and stockmen have applied for space and seem enthusiastic in the friendly rivalry with their neighbors. This condition, in such marked contrast with the lethargy of last year, augurs well for the fair and the WATCHMAN has no hesitancy in risking its reputation for ac- curacy in such matters in saying that it will be a wonderful exhibition, and, weath- er permitting, there will be one of the largest crowds ever seen in Bellefonte. —— A — Court's CONCLUDING = SEssION.—The business that remained to be done after court adjourned, on Wednesday evening, was attended to Friday morning ; there having been no session on Thursday, ow- ing to the funeral of former sheriff D.

During the night he was awakened by a blinding flash, followed, on the instant, by a terrific crash of thun- der.
