William Keller Alexander, which occurred at his home in Millheim on Sunday morning at 1 o’clock could scarcely have made a more profound impression there than it did in this place, where he was so well known and generally respected. He had been engaged in his usual pursuits all day Saturday and bad not the slightest intimation that the end was So near until his heart failed and then all was over so soon that those about him scarcely realized that he was gone. Mr. Alexander was a progressive, honor- able citizen, an ornament to society and a man whose death the entire county will de- plore. Though actively engaged in busi- ness he was one of those men who led a consistent christian life. In Millheim his loss will be greatly felt, because there he was foremost in everv movement for the town’s progress. Deceased was born on the Van Tries farm in Potter township on May 10th, 1840. He was a grandson of James Alex- ander who came to Pennsvalley from Mary- land in 1795 and lived on one of the Pot- ter farms, east of the Old Fort, for fifty five years, He was ason of Amos and Eliza- beth Keller Alexander, his father having been one of the best known of the pioneer farmers and merchants of Penns valley, as well as having served as county commis- sioner from 1861 to 1865. William’s early boyhood was spent on the farm, but at the age of fifteen he was started on an academic couse that took him to such reputable old time schools as the Aaronsburg, Jacksonville and Academ- ia academies and later he entered Diekin- son Seminary at Williamsport. While at the latter institution his health broke down and he was compelled to give up his studies and started on a tour through the west. It was during that trip that he happened to be in the convention in Chi- cago at the time Gen. Geo. B. McClelland was nominated for the Presidency. It was in 1865, after his father had pur- chased the John V. Foster property in Millheim, that he became associated with him in the mercantile and grain business, which he conducted successfully until 1875. Afterwards he opened a marble yard there and operated it until about four years ago, when he retired. Politically Mr. Alexander was a staunch Democrat, his rare personal qualities and fealty to party brought many local honors, as well as having secured a seat in the Gen- eral Assembly for him. He was an aspi- rant for Assembly in the fall of 1865, but was defeated for the nomination by the late Hon. S. R. Wolf, hut the latter hav- ing died hefore the opening of the session Mr. Alexander was taken up and elected at the spring election in 1875. He served with such eminent satisfacticn to his con- stituents that he was re-elected in the fall of 1876 for another term. On April 30th, 1872 he was married to Sarah E. Mauk,a daughter of Jesse Mauk, of Millheim. They had two daughters, one of whom died in infancy aud the other, Lydia Florence, died at the age of 13. His widow survives him with the following brothers and sisters : Dr. John F. Alexan- der, of Centre Hall; Christ Alexander, of Millbeim; A. R. Alexander, of Buffalo, Mo. and Miss Catharine Alexander, of Los Angeles, Cal. Funeral services were held in the Meth- odist church at Millheim ‘on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock and interment was made in that place. ll I I Mg. JouN PaAciNI.—The death of Mr. Pacini, the well-known builder and con- tractor,on Tuesday morning at one o'clock, at his home on Allegheny street, was not unexpected for he had been seriously ill since the Sunday before Christmas. The week previous he fell acd hurt himself while repairing a house he owned on Thom- as street which bad been partly burned down in November. The fall aggravated by a severe cold brought on bladder and kidney trouble. Two, three or four of as good doctors as there are in town and a trained nurse were assidious in their care of him and a number of operations were performed, but he suffered intensely and there was really no hope of his life being spared from the first. He was born in Tuscany ,Italy,June 24th, 1832, but had been a resident of this place since he was twenty-one years of age. And a splendid citizen he was. There have been ‘men who were more famous and men who | have.reached greater eminence, but there was never a better man in the town. He was an artist in his line, a fine workman,an ‘honest, upright and diligent man and a most kind and good providing father. He was twice married and at the death of his second wife, Sarah Fleming,about thirteen year ago. he was left with his family of lit- ‘tle children to whom he has filled a moth- er’s as well as a father’s place ever since. He is survived by his six children Mary, Helen, Henrietta and John, all of this place. Funeral services were held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock in St. John’s Catholic church, of which he was a devout member. Interment was made in the Catholic cemetery with the follow- ing pall bearers : Henry Brockerhoff, V. J. Bauer, D. J. Brown,Frank Walz,Joseph Beezer and Charles Cunio. ll I I Rev. C. N. Woodson, who terminated a remarkably successful pastorate of the A. M. E. church in this place only a shoit time ago and went to a new field in Phil- ipsburg, died there Wednesday evening, after a short illness with pneanmonia. Rev. Woodson was a very good’ man and during “his residence here made friends who will be genuinely sorry to hear of his death. His widow and several children survive him. WILLIAM A.

FUREY 18 A | | BRIDE. — Many Bellefonters and others throughout the county will be interested in the following marriage notice, taken from the Lock Haven Democrat of Mon- day. The bride is the youngest daughter of Joe W. I'urey, formerly associate editor of the WATCHMAN, and though she was only a child when they left here the friends of her parents here will join in our wish that the path of her married life will lie in pleasant places. Saturday afternoon E. B. O'Reilly and Miss Nellie Furey set all speculations and in- quiries at rest by quietly leaving the city for Altoona, where at 8 o'clock that evening they were married by Rev. Father I. M. Sheedy in the residence connected with St. John’s cathedral. That night they took a trip east- ward and spent yesterday in an eastern city, arriving home this morning. They will re- side for the present at the bride's parents. No couple is more highly respected or have more well wishes for prosperity than Mr. and Mrs. O'Reilly. The young lady who has as. sumed that name is the daughter of ex-edi- tor and Mrs. Joseph W. Furey. For over a year she has answered the calls in the Com- mercial telephone exchange, which position she creditably filled. Mr. O'Reilly is the manager in Murphy & Co’s office, and has given great satisfaction to his employees, as well as to the patrons of the office. His many friends are congratulating him to-day. —— ote ——C. M. Bower Esq. gave quite a de- lightful entertainment for his Sunday school class on Friday evening.

The gentlemen spent several hours discussing everything from the Heidleburg catechism to the King’s coronation, not to speak of the roast turkey and various other courses of the dinner which received more than their share. There were twenty-three members of the class and Rev. Schmidt and Herman Holtz pres- ent as honorary guests. ————e ——Another fire brick works that will soon be completed and ready for operation is the American Fire Brick company, just outside of the city limits, and south of Flemington.

The young lady suffered a bad dislocation of the left arm and was compelled to enter a hospital for treat- ment. And rather than defend a suit for damages the council settled in this way. The action is commended by the citizens of that place who are not unmindful of the result of the Lohr trial, a similar case that resulted rather expensively for that bor- ough. ———— er — ——Mz:. and Mrs. D.
