Some of the deaths which occurred were not surprising, for neither science nor action can forever postpone the execution of ‘‘nature’sstern decree.”’ The others, though, were most unexpected and adequately exemplified that it is beyond human knowledge to determine at what point a vital organ will fail, or at what date the wheels of life may, without warning, stand still. The death of Mrs. Nannie Knox Dare at her home in Philadelphia on Christmas night at 12 o’clock was particularly sad,fol- lowing, as it did, so soon the passing away of her son George. She was well known here where she had spent most of her life and the announcement of her death was much of a surprise as well as a sorrow. Mrs. Dare was always rather frail and delicate looking but it was not until last spring, after the sudden death of her son- in-law at her home in Philadelphia, that her health began to fail. She had a severe illness then from which she never fully re- covered and the death of her son so com- pletely prostrated her that it seemed she could not rally. Pneumonia developed and though apparently not suffering in the least or in a critical condition she simply closed her eyes and passed out from this life into eternal rest. By birth and marriage Mrs. Dare be- longed to two of the oldest families in this county and was herself personally endeared to a wide circle of acquaintances by her rare gifts of mind and disposition. She was a daughter of Tasker and Jane Knox and was born at the old Knox home up Buffalo Run about 63 years ago. She was married when quite young to Col. George S. Dare who was killed in the battle of the Wilderness, May 4th, 1864, and her home was in this place until sixteen years ago when she went to Scranton because of the wider oppertunities for her sons. Three years later she became a resident of Phila- delphia and there as here she was recogniz- ed as a woman of much business ability and gracious personality. She was a per- fect gentlewoman in disposition, manner and appearence and the latent forces of her character were far beyond her physical strength. Her responsibilities were cheer- fully observed and hers was a life of use- fulness and great unselfishness. She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Jennie Brockerhoff,and her son Cooper, hoth of whom accompanied her body to this place on Friday evening. Here the casket was taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B. Miller, on east Linn street, and on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church, of which the deceased had been a member for more than fifty years. Rev. Dr. Laurie conducted the services and in- terment was made in the family plot in the Union cemetery. ll ll I JoHN J. WALSH'S UNEXPECTED DEATH —No death that has occurred in this com- munity in years has occasioned as general surprise or more profound sorrow than that of John J. Walsh, the assistant superinten- dent of the Central railroad of Pennsyl- vania. Mr. Walsh was a man whose life among us had been so pleasant and congenial that his sudden calling away was so much of a shock that it is only now, in the sad after- thought, that a full realization of the loss the community has sustained is felt. He was not a man of greater ambition than to be efficient in his office, affable with ac- quaintances and tender and considerate at home and in all of these spheres he was most happily successful. His death was due to an acute attack of stomach trouble with which he had suffered more or less for sev- eral years. 3 He came to Bellefonte eight years ago to become dispatcher of trains on the Central and his earnest work during the gieat im- provements to that line and his indefatiga- ble efforts to perfect its mechanical equip- ment soon won for him the position of as- sistant to Supt. J. W. Gepbart. He was the son of John and Johanna Walsh, having been born near Syracuse, N. Y., Feb. 10th, 1856. Most of his life was spent in rail-roading and he came to Belle- fonte after nineteen years of most valuable service on the Fall Brook. Sixteen years ago he was married to Miss Julia Bauer, of Jersey Shore, who survives him with their three children, Anna Marie, Margaret, and ‘Helen DeSalles. His parents, one brother and two sisters also survive. Requiem mass for the repose of his soul was celebrated in St. Johns Catholic church on Tuesday morning, Dec. 24th, and inter- ment was made in the Catholic cemetery. fl I GEORGE DARE.—George Dare, eldest son of Mrs. N. K. Dare, died in Hahuneman hospital, in Philadelphia, on Thursday night, December 19th. His remains were brought to Bellefonte on Monday morning and after services in the Presbyterian church interment was made iv the Union cemetery. Deceased was ason of Capt. George Dare who was killed early in the Civil war. He was born in this place about forty-five years ago and remained here until the family moved to Philadelphia, where he continued at his profession as a pharmacist until the time of his death. Surviving him are his sister, Mrs. Jennie Brockerhoff, and his brother Cooper. i ll fl ————Mis. Sallie Winters, wife of John M. Winters, died at her home in Kreamer- ville, near Rebersburg, on Sunday, Dec. 27th, at the age of 27 years. Rev Harman officiated at her funeral, which was held on Christmas day. M=s. GEORGE KEICHLINE.—Mrs. George Keichline died at her home near Rock Springs yesterday morning at 6 o'clock, af- ter a year’s suffering with cancerous tu- mors in the abdomen. Three years ago she was taken to a Philadelphia hospital where she was successfully operated on for the re- moval of a large tumor. She suffered no further until about a year ago, when oth- ers appeared and she went again to the hospital, but this time she was turned away with the discouraging information that they had become cancerous and there was no cure possible for her. Since that time Mrs. Keichline has suffered intensely, but she has borne it all with that christian for- titnde and patience begotten by an abiding faith in the strong power of the Master. Deceased was a daughter of the late Hen- ry Meyer, of Boalshurg, and was born on the old Meyer place 61 years ago last Oc- tober. Early in life she connected herself with the Reformed church and as long as she was able was an active worker in the church, having been the leader of the choir for a long time. She was a sister of county commissioner Philip Meyer, Jacob Meyer, J.inden Hall; Henry Meyer, Bowling Green, Va.; Mrs. Dale, Oak Hall; Mrs. Waddle, Boalsburg, and Mrs. Stem, Pleasant Gap. Her hus- band and the following children survive: Mrs. John Dreiblebis, State College, Sarah Gertrude and Margaret at home. Interment will be made in the new cem- etery at Pine Grove on Saturday morning, after services have been conducted at her late home at 9 o'clock by Rev. A. A. Black. I fl I ALEXANDER MCKINNEY.--About six o’clock on Chiistmas eve a message was | received here requesting Dr. Kirk to come immediately to the McKinney home in Benner township as Mi. McKinney, the well- known farmer, had been found un- conscious aud it was feared that he was dead. The report was all too true, but it could hardly be credited as he had heen seen driving out of the town with his big, showy horse not an hour before and; look- ing the very picture of health for a man of his age. He bad been here that afternoon pur- chasing some medicine for his aged wife, whose remarkable health record we made mention in this paper several months ago, and started home about the usual time. About dusk his family heard the wagon at the gate and as he was so long in coming into the house went out to see what was the matter. There he was sitting in the wag- on with the lines in his hand, but quite dead and it is possible that he died shortly after passing Coleville. He was ninety years of age and was a native of Ireland. He was well-to-do and a genial, whole souled man. He was a loyal, true Democrat and not long ago was in this office lamenting that his wife, who is 92 years of age, was not likely to live and how lonely he would be without her. Fu- neral services were held Friday morning in St. John’s Catholic church, of which he was a devoted member. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery. I ll ll Mgrs, WiInniaM LoNG.—Mrs. Mary El- len Long, wife of William Long, died Christmas morning at 3:30 o’clock abt her home on Reynolds Avenue, after a long ill- ness of heart and lung trouble. Funeral services were held at the house on Friday afternoon at which her pastor, Rev. Dr. Shriner, officiated. Interment was made in Meyeis burying ground up Buffalo Run. Mrs. Long’s maiden name was Rowan and she was born at Wallace Run 56 years ago the 10th of last June. She was mar- ried to Mr. Long in 1863 aud was a most estimable woman. She was constantly concerned and industrious for the comfort and welfare of her own family and yet had always time to lend a helping hand to some one in need. She was a member of the Methodist church from childhood and ex- pressed perfect willinguess that she was so near her journey’send. She is survived hy her L.ashand, seven of her eight children, Mrs. Mary Payne. of Roanoke, Va.; Mis. Blanche Moore, of Altoona ; Mrs. John Love, Debora, Jean, John and Logan, of this place, and a little grand daughter, Sarah Gardner, she had taken to raise. Surviving her also are the following sis- ters and brothers Mrs. Maggie Post, of Maple Lake, Minn.; Mrs. John Knox, of Monticello, Minn.; John Rowan, of Du- Bois, and James Rowan, of Buffalo Run. I ll i Mgrs. MARY BREON.—Mrs. Mary Breon, wile of the luce Captain Jacob Breon, died at ler home in Altoona on Saturday morn- ing after a month’s illness of diseases inci- dent to old age. She was born at Potters Mills in this county, March 29th, 1831, and was married to Jacob Breon Nov. 28th, 1849. Twenty years ago with her family she removed to Altoona where she was greatly esteemed and beloved. Her hus- band died last April bat surviving her are foar children, two sons and two daughthers. Funeral services were held Monday alter- noon and interment was made in Fairview cemetery, Altoona.

Inter- ment was made in the Lutheran cemetery at Aaronsburg yesterday morning. Tae oh THE METHODIST CONFERENCE TO MEET Here. —For the third time since 1887 the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Conference will convene in Bellefonte. That body will assemble here on March 26th, 1902, and the extraordinary business to be dis- posed of will make its sessions of more than usual interest, inasmuch as the case of Dr, Swallow will come before it for trial, along with several other matters of grave moment to the church. The first session of conference to be held here was on March 10th, 1887, when Dr. D. S. Monroe was pastor. H. W. Warren presided. In 1893, March 15th, the body again visited Bellefonte under the pastorate of Rev. W. A. Houck. Bishop Warren presided over those sessions also. The two visits left such lasting and pleasant impres- sion on the town, and so many members of other denominations, who had graciously thrown open their doors to the visiting clergy men, expressed so much grati- fication over it that when a call for a place for the coming session was made Bellefo:te responded at once. Shamokin had been selected as the place, but the prevalence of small-pox there and in several other available towns made the offer of entertainment from Bellefonte most opportune and desirable. The WATC HMAN announced the probability in the issue of Dec. 20th, but it was not until later that the matter was finally determined. Bishop John M. Walden, of Cincinnati, will preside over the coming Confere nce. re ree fp eee A CHristMAS EVE WEDDING. — The joyous Christmas spirit and the elaborate decorations of greens distinguished the wedding of Miss Elizabeth M. Gramley and Ross Louder from like affairs. The wed- ding took place at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Murs. Thomas Gramley, near Boalsburg, on Christmas eve at 5:30 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. G. W. Lesher and was witnessed by the near relatives and intimate friends. Miss Estella Gramley, a sister of the bride, was maid of honor and the groom’s best man was his brother Elmer. A sumptuous wedding supper was served and a number of fine presents received. A reception was given for the young couple on Christmas day at the home of the groom's father, Daniel Louder, at Oak Hall, at which a perfect feast of good things was served for the guests. The groom is an energetic, in- dustrious young farmer and is perfectly capable of furnishing a comfortable home for as excellent a wife as he got. Their honeymoon was spent with friends at Loganton. ves JoHN ToNNER HARRIS.—The new year opened most gratifyingly for Mr. John Tonner Harris, son of H. P. Harris, of this place. The announcement was made Wed- nesday morning that he had been appoint- ed manager of the Bell Telephone Co’s property in Altoona, vice K. C. Ramp, who was also promoted. Mr. Harris had been manager of the Philipsburg and Clearfield business of the company and this promotion is a substan- tial recognition of his efficient work for that corporation. : j > ——The Potter-Hoy Hardware Co., ban- queted their thirty employees at Ceader's last night.

Grabam writes from his home in Philipsburg that the story that has gained circulation to the effect that he is in a serious condition with blood poisoning is a base fabrication and that it is only a pesky little corn that is bothering him. The Commodore threatened to blow us up for publishing such a rumor even though it did originate in the papers of his own town, but we wouldn’t be much afraid of him unless he used some of the high explo- sives he sells so readily for the Laflin & Rand Co. In that event we're afraid there wouldn’t be enough left to appear at the Clearfield county court next month. In any event his friends here will be very glad to learn that his trouble is not all serious. ee —Our tonsorial friend R. A.
