James Milliken has removed a man of eminent ability. He died at his home in the Hoffman house, in -New York city, on Tuesday morning, and his body was brought here yesterday morning, in- terment having been nade in his lot in the Union cemetery, after seivices had been held in the Presbyterian church. Col. Milliken was a man whose early ambition to be rich ard influential was more than gratified. From an humble be- ginning he amassed a fortune variously es- timated at from a half to a million dollars and no man of this community has surpas- sed him in finesse. Though disease at the last dulled the lustre of what had been a brilliant mind we cannot but remember him as the well informed, incisive, polish- ed gentleman. Alive to the great ques- tions of government, active in the interest of his friends and benevolent far beyond the knowledge of most men. James Milliken was the third son of Foster Milliken and was born in Mifflin county, Pa., July 23, 1826, making his age 75 years, 6 months and 9 days. His father died when James was quite young, leaving the family in limited circumstances, so that at an early period in life he was placed with the Messrs Valentine, of Centre coun- ty. asa clerk. He acted as their agent for the sale of their iron in New York State and was for several years located for that pur- pose in Elmira, N. Y. He later engaged in business with his uncles at Lewistown. In 1850 he entered the grain business in Philadelphia, the firm being Richardson & Milliken, but after a few years he engaged in business more suited to his taste, the manufacture of iron, becoming a member of the Phoenix Iron Company, of Philadel- phia. He became quite prominent in Philadel- phia affairs and at the outbreak of the re- bellion he was a member of the Board of Trade, director of several railroad com-’ panies, and one of the originators of the great Union League that did so much in behalf of the country in suppressing the rebellion. He was a member of the com- mittee, of which the mayor was chairman, which distributed a bounty of several mil- lions to the volunteers. After the war, owing to a breakdown in his health, he devoted several years to travel, visiting most of the countries of Eu- rope. He crossed the great Arabian desert, scaled Mt. Sinai, visited the Holy Land, Greece, Turkey and Mexico. His address in the state convention at Harrisburg, May 10th, 1892, in nominating Gen. James A. Beaver for Governor, has been described by the public press of the day as ‘‘a model and one of the most elo- quent ever delivered in a political body of that character.” Mr. Milliken was the author of several books of travel to be found in the public libraries of Philadel- phia and New York. Mr. Milliken returned to Bellefonte in 1871 and resided here up to a few years ago. He took a great interest in the affairs of the towh until some action of council | offended him so that he moved to Phila- delphia. later going to New York and there- after making his home at the Hoffman house in that city. f I I A DEPLORABLE DEATH.—Mis. Anna- bella Creichton Sommerville, wife of Rob- ert Sommerville, died at their home in Winburn on Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock of diphtheria. Her death was unusually sad for she was so generally beloved and the circumstances attending her burial were most affecting. She was here ‘only a few weeks ago visiting and shoitly after re- turning home she took a severe cold. A serious out come, though, was not appre- hended until Thursday. Then she became ill with tonsilitis which soon developed with diphtheria. Mrs. Sommerville was a native of Scot- land and about thirty years of age. Her girlhood was spent in Syracuse, N. Y., where her parents, people of culture and affluence, located when she was a little child. Her marriage to Robert Sommer- ville, of the well known Sommerville fam- ily of this place formerly, but now of Win- burn, took place about five years ago. = She had traveled extensively and was an intel- ligent young woman of uncommon charac- ter and rare charm. Even the employees of her husbands family at Winburn revered herand ’twas only a few weeks ago in this office that one of them, in mentioning the family, paid tribute to her sterling worth and bright individuality. She is survived by her husband, her mother, who was visiting at Winburn when her daughter was taken sick, and many relatives and friends. Her father, Mr. Creichton, was kil led in an accident about a year ago and she was the only sur- viving child out of a family of four. On Wednesday afternoon about 5 o'clock Robert Sommerville and his twin brother, Allen, accompanied by two of their miners and the undertaker arrived here with the body. They had driven the entire distance and the day was intensely cold. Interment was made in the family plot in the Union cemetery with Rev. Dr. Laurie officiating. I fl I ——Elisha Houck, a very well-known farmer, died at his home east of Warriors- mark early Friday morning. Thoagh he had been in poor health for over a year with heart trouble, it was not until the night before his death that he became real bad. He was 69 years, 8 months and 6 days old and was born in Lebanon county. His widow and twelve of their thirteen children survive him. are George H. and Wilfred E. Houck, of Philipsburg, and Mrs. Harry Sutton, of Snow Shoe. day morning from the Krider valley Meth- ‘odist church, of which he was a devout member. Among the latter | Interment was made on Mon- | MRs. MARGARET G: McCKEE—The death of Mrs. Margaret Gardner. McKee, wife of the late James Y. McKee, vice president of the Pennsylvania State College for many years, removes from State College life one of its most prominent women and breaks up one of the pleasantest and oldest homes there. Thirty-five years ago Prof. and Mis. McKee came from Pittsburg to State Col- lege in what might be called its dark era and for twenty-five years worked for its advancement in every way. For years their home was a favorite gathering place for the students and many of the pleasant- est entertainments of college life were due to their generous hospitality. Prof. Me- Kee died about ten years ago but Mrs, McKee still remained at the College, where she built for herself a very attractive home and kept up her interest in the students. To her many of them were indebted for help and sympathy. She was an active member of the Presbyterian church; an enthusiastic worker in the Aid society of which she had been president since it was organized, was for many years president of the W. C.T. U., a member of the Woman's club and gave a helping hand wherever it was needed. On Saturday evening Jan. 25th, while attending a church sociable at University Inn, she was stricken with apoplexy and died the following Thursday without re- gaining consciousness. She was sixty-four years of age and is survived by her four children George and Willis, of Youngs- town, O.; Arthur, of Pittsburg, and Mary, of State College. Interment was made in the Branch burying ground on Saturday afternoon. I I I FouND DEAD IX BED.—Yesterday morn- ing Mrs. Susan Rote, relict of the late Simon Rote, was found dead in bed at her home in Aaronshurg vesterday morning. Though quite well when she had retired the night before the slender cord that held her life snapped asnnder and she passed gently on into the unknown spirit realm without the least note of warming. She had reached her 88th year and throughout all of her life had been a most earnest christian woman, so that she was ready for the call however unexpectedly it came. Mr. Luther Bower and his family ocen- pied the same home with Mrs. Rote aud when she did not respond as usual to the breakfast call yesterday morning, Mrs. Bower went to her room, only to find her cold in death. Mrs. Rote was a consistent member of the Reformed church and was the mother of John Rote, of Axe Mann. Arrange- ments bad not been made for her funeral up to the time of our going to press. Jil i Jounx M. FUREY .—About noon yester- Centre county family, passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. H. Flory, at Pleasant Gap. He had been in failing health for a long time so thathisdeath was not unexpected. John Furey was a remarkable man in many particulars. He was probably the oldest continuous resident of Spring town- ship. He was born there in October, 1816, and spent his entire life as a farmer within the township. So staunch was he in his belief in Democracy that he never missed an election during the long term of years in which he was qualified to vote. He was a man of strong convictions and determined will, though so just and considerate as to offend or injure no one. As a consequence he wae regarded as one of the hest men of the community. He had long heen con- nected with the Lutheran church and in- terment will be made in the Lutheran cem- etery at the Gap at 10 a. m. Saturday morning. ’ : Deceased was married three times and surviving these unions are his five children: Morris Furey, of this place ; J. Milton, of Williamsport ; Mrs, W. H. Flory, Pleas- ant Gap ; John, of Minneapolis, Minn. ; and Mrs. Charles Tripple, of this place. L.A i NoAH LEITZEL.—After an illness with heart trouble that had lasted nearly all winter Noah Leitzel, the well known old mason of Aaronsburg, died at his home in that place at 11:45 Wednesday evening.

Surviving him are his widow and the following children : Mrs. Forest Stover and Forest Leitzel, Aaronsburg ; Clayton in Union county ; Mis. Franklin Tomlinson, Mrs. Edward Bressler, Mrs. Love and Mrs. William Summers, all of Cleatfield.

W. Herr died at her home at Salona on Tuesday night, after an illness of eight days with apoplexy and pneumo- ‘nin. She is 54 years old aud is survived by her husbaud aud two children. Diep SUDDENLY IN LeEBaNoN.—The Lebanon News of January 31st publishes the following account of the sudden death of Mrs. Phoebe Gerberich in that place the evening before. The particulars are of in- terest because of her many connections in this county. She was a daughter of the late Andrew Musser and was born near Zion, besides having been marrieGc to a brother of C. T. Gerberich, the well known miller of this place. Mrs. Phebe, wife of alderman Landis A. Gerberich, of the First ward, died sud- denly at 8:30 o’clock on Thursday evening, having been stricken with heart disease. She had been in the enjoyment of her usual good health up to the time of the fatal seizare and her death was a great shock to her family and friends of whom there are a host. Accompanied by her daughter, Miss Lydia Gerberich, she was on her way to the Sons of America hall to participate in the entertainment and banquet in honor of the 30th anniversary of Lebanon castle No. 6, A. O. K. of M. C., both being members of the ladies’ auxiliary. When she com- plained of feeling ill her daughter guided her outside the moving columns and upon expressing a desire to rest she was escorted to the Ross drug store, opposite the court house, by her daughter and several friends. Summons were sent for her husband and Dr. D. P. Gerberich, and she, at Mus. Ross’ direction, was ‘removed to a room in | the Ross residence, where Dr. Gerberich tried without success to revive her and when alderman Gerberich reached her side she was unconscious, death oceurring soon afterward. : Mis. Gerberich was 55 years old and a daughter of Andrew Musser, late of Zion, Centre county. There 34 years ago she be- came the wife of the now bereaved hus- band. Two children survive her.

J. Eddy, John Thompson, Charles Walizer, Michael Japaue and a little girl, all of whom wereso heavily dressed that its teeth did not penetrate to the flesh.

Lueas, formerly connected with the Lewin store in this place, coneluded his visit to Centre county relatives Sunday and returned to hix place in Berg Bros. store in Philadelphia. —('. Mac Sellers. the hustling Patton township farmer, was in town on Saturday looking florid and well enough to be an advertisement for a far more salubrious climate than they have up about Fillmore. —Ad. Fauble, of the firm of M. Fauble & Son, left for New York Saturday night where he will spend several weeks looking over the lines of spring clothing shown by the best manufacturers of that city. —HRdward Cowdrick, inspector of tunnel work on the new West ‘Branch railroad, who had been at home for a week suffering with the grip, re- ternoon. —Mrs. Frank Warfield, her little daughter Mary and Miss Caroline Orvis ‘went to Clifton Springs Tuesday morning for an extended stay at the sanitarium there.

[Later he departed for Milesburg from whieh place he continued his journey homeward, vin Snow Shoe. —I. E. Alden, a prominent business man of Akron, Ohio, was in town on Saturday, having some business with the First National bank here. Mr, Alden is head of the Alden Rubber Co, and at one time was prominently connected with the Diamond Mateh Co. —Mr. J. A. Ebberts, of Martha Furnace, was a Bellefonte visitor on Tuesday ;- haviag run down between trains, just because he had intended spending the day in Tyrone until something turn- ed up to prevent his going there and he decided to more than make up for that disappointment by coming to Bellefonte. —Mr, James Lingle, the veteran dairyman, was a pleasant caller Saturday morning and we were going to remark that his snow white hair and beard were quite apropos to the business he is in» but that wonldn’t be right at all, for Mr. Lingle’s cream and milk is the rich yellow article, that. few dairymen supply. - —'Squire Sol. Peck, of Nittany, was in town on Wednesday and said that he has - little else to do these days than read the papers, but the Squire has been such a busy man all his life that he im” agines he is doing nothing now, even though it is a good deal more than some fellows have ever done, —l. P. Weber, the Boalsburg painter and one of the representative members of that well known family, was in town on Tuesday on some business and incidentally was making inquiry about a little daughter of his who is badly crippled with curva- ture of the spine.

Conley, the well known Potter township farmer, was in town on Friday looking none the worse for his thrilling experience at the Centre Hall mill a few days ago.

He held onto the lines and was dragged some distance before the team was caught. His clothing was torn to shreds by the sharp ice on the round. . —A letter from Miss Alpha Corman, who will be well remembered by many residents of this com- munity bears the welcome intelligence that she and her mother are again located at their old home in Seattle, after a temporary residence in Portland, Oregon. They are both in excellent health and long to be with their old Centre coun- ty friends again were it not for the severity of our climate. She does admit that they have snow in Seattle now and plumbers are in demand at prices that are higher than their mountains, though when the snow fell only a few days ago it was to cover up blooming roses in their gardens. Snow in Seattle is unusual, though on any clear day, summer or winter,the ice crested top of Mt. Ranier can be seen from that city. —Talk about the pestilence that walketh by darkness, we'd be very willing to put up with lots | of the kind that came walking into our office Tues- day evening while the lights were all out, and hunted us clear to the uttermost corner of the press room. First came jury commissioner John Beck wlio had a “plunker” for us, and by the way, his son-in-law W. E. Brant, who has been so seri- ously ill with typhoid fever at Youngstown, O., has so far recovered that Miss Grace Beck, who went out to nurse him, has been able to return to her duties in the Williamsport hospital. Then Steve Finnegan walked in and remarked that he had grown tired carrying round trust money that belonged to us. Of coarse we took it for fear | Steve might have gotten mad and burned it up in one of the lime kilns he has charge of for the rust and when it comes to ‘burning the coin’ we like to do that in other ways. He had scarcely gone out when Henry Walkey found his way to in the darkness,becnuse he goes to work by candle light and’ quits by it. But enough of this. We don’t care when they come, how they come or who comes as long as they are as pleasant as were our and dispatch. The —Mr. and Mrs. James Clark spent Sunday at the former's old home at Beech Creel. —Former Governor Hastings and assistant cash- ier Mitchell went to Bakerton Tuesday, on a little private jaunt. —Misa Helen Fuller, of Pittsburg, who has been in Tyrone tor the past ten days will spend next week here visiting friends. ' —Miss Annie Brown, of south Allegheny street, is in Philadelphia at St. Luke's hospital,where she had an operation performed on Wednesday. —Bond Sommerville, of Sewickley, his sister, Miss Mary, and his brothers John and Allen, all of Winburn, were in town Wednesday attending the funeral of their sister-in-law, Mrs. Robert Som- merville. —Edward Harpster, who makes his home with John Reed, at Graysville, was in town on Satur day on business. Mr. Harpster is known as the boss thresher of the Spruce Creek valley, where he does a great business in season. —George M. McKee. of Youngstown, O., was in town yesterday for a few hours on his way home from State College. He was accompanied by his sister Miss Mary, who will make an extended visit in Youngstown before determining where she will make her home. —Thomas Longee, one of Howard's old and well known residents, has been in town all week doing duty as a juror, though he has been rather lucky in the matter of getting on juries. His challenges were such that he was enabled to be merely a spectator most of the time. —Ferd J. Beezer, who with Will and Fred, are the three representatives of the little Spruce Creek colony of Beezers, who have gotten away from the family cbaracteristics of butchering or dealing in horses, was in on Saturday for a few moments’ chat. He is employed at the glass works with the other two and we must confess that it did strike us as being just a little out of keeping with their family tradition to sec three boys working with blow-pipes instead of with knife and cleaver or speeding a good horse. —Among the strangers in town yesterday in at- tendance at the funeral of Col. James Milliken were Miss De Valasco, Edward F. Milliken, Foster Milliken! and J. J. Higgins, of New York City; Mrs. Samuel Milliken and Mr. and Mrs. James De Graff, of Plainfield, N. J. ;, Mr. and Mrs. Court- land D. Evans :and daughter, of Baltimore, Md.; Mrs. Dewees and Mrs. Perry, Hollidaysburg; Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Miss Jane Thompson, Al- bert, Reed and George Thompson, of Milroy; Mrs. James Thompson, Stormstown; Mrs. Jennie Henry and Budd Thompson, of Martha; Mrs. William Dale, and Mr. and Mrs. William Thomp- son, of Lemont. ; —While at the court house Monday afternoon waiting to have some business attended to we ran into a party of congenial gentleman among whom Henry Rothrock, of Spring township, and Joseph A. Peters Jr., of Philipsburg seemed to be the leading spirits. The former was killing time un- til a case in which he was interested at court would be called, while Joe had a little business iu town and had just dropped in to see his friend P. H. Meyer, because they are both singers from “away back.” There is no doubt but that Mr. Rothrock would have been in a very different mood had he known then what he knows now, for he lost the case which everyone who knew any- thing about the facts thought he was entitled to win.
