HENRY BRUNGART DIES SUDDENLY.--
Henry Brungart, of Rebersburg, a brother
of sheriff Cyrus N. Brungart, died very un-
expectedly at his home. on Tuesday even-
ing. He bad been out ina lot he bad in
the outskirts of the village husking some
corn and feeling unwell returned to the
house towards evening. When asked what
he would have for his supper le told his
wile that he did not care for anything, that
he was sick. Soon afterward he became
worse and a physician was hurriedly sam-
moned, but he expired without having
said anything more than ‘‘It’s too ba 2!
Deceased was a son of Jacob and Sallie
Brungart and was born near Wolf’s Store in
September, 1847. His early life was spent
about home where he learned the tanning
trade from his uncle Jeremiah Haines.
After he had married Maggie Leitzell in
1847 and set up for himself he embarked
in the tanning business with A. B. Erhard.
They conducted it successfully for some
time, but ‘sold out finally and then Mr.
Brungart went to carpentering, which he
followed for a number of years, part of
the time being a foreman of work for a
large Pittsburg firm. After returning to
his home in Rebersburg he followed the
trade for awhile, but later took up furni-
ture and undertaking and was engaged in
that business when he died.
* Mr. Brungart became a member of the
Lutheran church early in life and lived
upright in that faith ever after. He was a
man of strict integrity and had great
charity for those in distress. His passing
is lamentable because he was a man who
will be truly missed.
His wife and one daughter, Mrs. E. E.
Wood, of Scottdale, survive him with his
aged mother, five brothers and three sis-
ters. Two of his children preceded him to
the spirit world.

cer of the stomach, from which she had suf-
fered for some time.

PETRIKEN HALL CORNER STONE TO BE
LAID.—At 3:30 Sunday afternoon the first
formal public exercise will be held at Petri-
ken hall,on High street. Not the kind that
is hoped will be of daily ocenrrence in that
building when it is completed, buta formal
ceremony over the laying of the corner
stone. The structure has been going up
with remarkable rapidity and already the
place where the corner stone is to lie is far
below the level of the walls in other por-
tions of the building.
The stone will be laid by Rev. Geo. I.
Brown, rector of St. John’s Episcopal
church, of which Miss Petriken was such a
steadfast member. Mrs. John P. Harris,
president of the W. C. T. U. of Bellefonte,
will place the archives in it, which will
consist of a sketch of Miss Petriken, a his-
tory of the building up to this time and
the usual other souvenirs, such as coins,
papers, etc. The program as completed
will be as follows :

We will not take space at this time to go
into a detailed description of the new hall,
since it will prove more interesting and
complete at the time of its dedication. The
building was designed by architect Robert
Cole and occupies a site on West High
street, that is one of the most prominent
and valuable in town. The lot was be-
queathed to the W. C. T. U. hy the late
Marion Petriken.
The size of the structure is 60x122 feet
and it is to be threestories high. The sides
and rear are to be of brick and the front of
brick with brown stone trimmings. On the
ground floor will be two rooms and a large
ballway running through to the auditorium
which will accommodate about 800 people.
There will be a large stage which will seat
150 people, and underneath the stage will
be dressing rooms. The room on the left,
facing High street, will be occupied by the
W. C.T. U. and the one across the hall
will be used as the public library. The
second and third floors will have an en-
trance from the front and will be divided
into six rooms, each having a separate bath
room with all other conveniences.
The life and death of Miss Marion Wal.’
lace Petriken, to whose memory this build-
ing is to be a fitting tribute, is still fresh
in the minds of our readers. She died
November 23rd, 1899, in the modest little
home which she occupied for so many years
and which stood upon the site where the
present memorial is being erected. She
was born in Bellefonte in the early thir-
ties and belonged to an old and historic
Centre county family. She was the daugh-
ter of Hon. James M. and Elizabeth Wal-
lace Petriken. Her father was the zecog-
nize leader of the Centre county bar in his
time.
"In April, 1898,she was brought into prom _
inence by the public presentation to her
of the sword of her brother, Lieut. Hard-
man P. Petriken, who was killed at the
battle of Antietam. While the Lieut. lay
dying he handed the sword to Major Wm.
Robbing of the Fourth Alabama and re-
quested him to present it to his sister. The
Lieutenant died hefore he had time to tell
where his sister lived, and after an interval
of nearly thirty five years Maj. Robbins
came to Bellefonte and made a public pres-
entation of the sword to Miss Petriken.

_ KiLLED A LARGE COPPERHEAD AT
THEIR DooR.—There were exciting times
on Race street Tuesday afternoon, for a lit-
tle while and all because a big copperhead
snake had wandered from its native heath
and stretched itself out in front of the en-
trance to the Bellefonte Fuel and Supply
Co's. office. The snake was lying there sun-
ning itself until Edward Nearhood, one of
Potter & Hoy’s salesmen, approached and
shied like a two-year old at it. George
Waite was sitting inside the office and see-
ing that Nearhood was likely to run off he
ran out to catch him, Just then his eyes
fell on the dangerous looking reptile and
he side-stepped a little too, especially until
he got his hands on a poker and then there
were doings that the poor old snake
couldn’t keep awake long enough to see.
It was 3ft. long, quite thick and beauti-
fully marked for a copperhead, but how it
got into that locality no one seems to
know. It is thought that it might bave
gotten there on a load of hay or on a car
load of box wood that had just been un-.
loaded.

A BusiNEss CHANGE.—Oue of the most
important business changes that has been
made in Bellefonte for some time will take
place soon when McCalmont & Co., so long
located near the P. R. R. station on West
High street will give up their quarters and
move to an uptown location.
The Potter-Hoy Hardware Co. have
leased the McCalmont room for a period of
ten years and will use it as a ware house ;
their rapidly increasing wholesale depart-
ment making it necessary to have more
room and hetter facilities for receiving aud
shipping goods.
McCalmont & Co., whether their lime
business is absorbed hy the trust or not,
will continue their implement and seed
business and hope by moving up town to
get into closer touch with the trade.
