at Tyrone Monday night.

office in Lock Haven on Tuesday morning.
——Mirs. James H. Porter, of Mackey-
ville, was prostrated with paralysis on Sat-
urday morning.
——DMiss Agnes Fehl, of "Aaronsburg,
and George K. Diehl, were marfied in
Rebersburg on Sunday.
——At the Gentzel-Beezer horse sale in

cordially entertained at the home of Dr. P.
S. Fisher.
——Miss Mary H. Lion entertained a

Miss Blanche Hayes.
——Editor Wilbur F. Harris, of the Re
publican, who had been confined to the
house for about ten days with a ‘‘cold that
was a cold, by jiminy christmas’ is out
again looking little the worse for the seige.
——Daring the Lenten season services
will be held in St. John’s Reformed church
every Wednesday and Friday evenings at
7:30 o'clock. Litany with studies on the
sacraments each Friday evening.
—— It is quite probable that, if Lt. Col.
Frank Elder succeeds Col. Burchfield in
command of the Fifth regiment, Capt.
Taylor, of Co. B, will be raised to the rank
of a field officer, perhaps a janior Major.
That is, he will, if he will accept it.
——~McCoy and Son, of Potter's Mills,
have finally received an adjustment of
their loss by. fire in the destruction of their
general store at that place several months
ago. They were given $3,600 on the stock
and $500 on the building.
The attraction at Garman’s next
Wednesday night will be *‘Little Trixie.”
It will be remembered that this is the farce
comedy in which May Smith Robbins, the
clever soubrette and dancer, has made a de-
cided hit here on several occasions.
——The WATCHMAN has received many
letters of congratulation upon the out-
come of affairs at Clearfield last week, for
all of which itis very grateful, particularly
for those of our subscribers who are send-
ing in their arrearages just now when funds
are so badly needed to pay the costs of the
trial.
Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, of the Cen-
tral Penusylvania diocese of the Episcopal
church, filled Rev. Brown's pulpit in St.
John's, last Sunday nigbt, and delivered a
very appropriate ante-lenten sermon. The
special prayers offered at both morning and
evening service for poor old Warren were a
beautiful tribute to the soul who was in-
deed faithfal to the last.
-—*Dr.”” Al. Roberts on Wednesday
mailed to President Roosevelt. at Groton,
Mass., a package of his herb compound
which he is sure woald hreak-up the puen-
monia with which the President’s son is
suffering. And we mightadd right here
that while the best physicians in the coun-
try will be called to save the President’s
boy it is not superstition or prejudice that
leads us to assert that often times when
they are done an herb compound or an
onion poultice drags a pneumonia patient
back from the threshold of death.
——The Thespians, the State College
dramatic club, presented
Honeymoon’ to a fair audience in Lock
Haven Friday night. The Democrat says :
“Those who were present. enjoyed the ef-
forts of the actors. The gentlemen selected
for the respective roles were well fitted for
their parts. Those who assumed the roles
of the females in the cast were watched
with pleasurable interest and were given
credit for being good impersonators of girl-
ish ways. The costumes were rich look-
ing.” a : :
—— Al Garman came down from Tyrone
Wednesday to join the other members of
* the family in this place in surrounding
their honored father with an atmosphere
of good cheer upon the 820d anniversary
of his birth. It bad been the intention to
have a large family reunion, but because
of the illness of Bruce, who is happily now
a convalescent, it was deferred. Mr. Dan-
iel Garman’s health is remarkable for a
man of his years. Though he has occasion-
al periods of illness he seems to be all the
more vigorous for having suffered them.
——~Capt. H. 8. Taylor, of Co. B, bas
been appointed judge advocate of the sum-
mary court that will convene in the Armory
of Co. E, in Clearfield, to try the members
of that company who were guilty of ench
gross breach of discipline upon the oceasion
of the inspection of the company on the
evening of Feb, 5th. A full account of the
occurrence will be found in another column
of this issue. The selection of Capt. Tay-
lor to try this case is a good one, for in ad-
dition to his long years of experience in the
Guard he is well up in equity and is capa-
ble of presiding over the trial with that
digotty aud impartiality that is particular-
Jy necessary to a military court. =~

‘WARREN Is DEAD.— Perhaps no one has
: ever passed out
of this com-
munity who
will be as gen”
erally missed as
‘Warren Under-
wood, more
commonly
known as War-
ren Barnside,
because of his
having made
’ = his home for
many years in the family of the late Judge
Burnside, where his mother was employed
as a servant for a long period. He died at
his home at *‘ Willow bank,” shortly after
noon on Wednesday, never having recover-
ed from the shock of a fall he received while
on his way to Mus. John P. Harris’ home,
on Linn street, Thursday evening. He he-
came partially paralyzed and remained in
that condition until death.
Little need be said about Warren, for
every man, woman and child knew him.
For more than three score years he has
been a familiar figure on the streets of
. Bellefonte. . People have come and gone,
great changes have heen wrought, but War-
ren has remained the same. More charac-
teristic than any other land-mark of the
town he was always interesting to either
friend or stranger. His life was one long
day of happiness and contentment and his
passing is but the dawning of another of
far greater splendour. For Warren was,
above all things, a christian, and in so far
as it was given him to comprehend he de-
voted to St. John’s Episcopal church a
work that was most pathetic in its earnest-
ness and simplicity.
One of his most singular traits of charac-
ter was his remarkable faculty for remem-
bering faces. No matter how many years
an old Bellefonter bad been absent from
town Warren would be the first and often
times the only one to recognize them upon
their return.
As near as it is known he was about 78
years old. Having been born in Bellefonte
all of his life was spent here and itis
probable that he bad never been further
away from town than his annual visits to
friends up Buffalo-run took him.
While it is commonly = understood that
Warren was a charge upon Bellefonte such
was not the case, for nearly half a century
ago Mrs. Harvey Mann, of Axe Mann, and
Mis. William E. Morris, of Philadelphia,
assigned a property on Logan street, in this
place, to the overseers of the poor of Belle-
fonte, the proceeds from which were to be
used for Warren's support during his life
time.
Rev. George I. Brown, rector of St.
John’s, and committees from the parish
left no service unperformed that would
make the last days of their faithful old
worker comfortable. .
Funeral services will be held at the
church this afternoon at 3 o'clock and in-
terment will be made in the Union ceme-
tery. !

Mes. WILLIAM A. SIMPSON. —Mrs. Wi.
A. Simpson, a well-known resident of Lock
Haven, died at her home in that place on
last Thursday afternoon. She had been ill
only one week with pnenmonia, but so seri-
ously so that from the very beginning a
specialist gave no hope of her life heing
spared. Mrs. Simpson belonged by birth
and marriage to two of the oldest families
in this section of the State and was herself
personally endeared to a wide circle of
friends by her rare gifts of heart and mind.
She was, before her marriage, Mary A.
Tammany aud she was born at the old
home here in December, 1829. She was a
daughter of Henry Tammany and was the
eldest of his family of eleven children.
Upon her marriage to Mr. Simpson, in 1852,
and the death of her mother she took the
entire family to her own home in Lock
Haven. There she was a mother to them
all and raised them as her own. She was
the last surviving member, too, for she had
lived to see them all buried.
She is survived by her husband and four
children Eva, Mrs. George S. Strong, of
Lakewood, N. J.; Helen, Mrs. W. M.
Dravo, of Pittsburg; Mary C., and Captain
W. A. Simpson Jr., at home.
On Monday morning requiem mass was
celebrated in the church of the Immaculate
Conception of which she was a useful mem-
ber. Her body, with its great pall of beauti-
ful flowers and accom panied by many
friends, was then brought to this placeon a
special car. Interment was made in the
Tammany plot in the Catholic cemetery,
where most of the family are buried. ;

Davin J. GATes Jr. —David J. Gates
Jr., died at the home of his parents, at
Stormstown, at 6 o'clock on the morning
of Jan. 30th, aged 28 years, 8 months and
25 days. His sickness dates back to Aug.
9th when he took typhoid fever from which
he partly recovered, and his friends were
hopeful of his complete recovery. Buf on
Sept. 13th he was again confined to his bed
from an abscess on his lung from which he
| died.
The funeral services were held at the
Friends church on Saturday morning, In-
terment in Friends cemetery, Revs. Dillon
and Lever officiating. ir :
Mr. Gates bore his affliction bravely and
patiently and died inthe faith that he
would enter a home where sickness, pain
and death were abknoiwn. Deceased is
survived ‘by his father and mother, one
brother. and two sisters : Mr. and Mre.
David J. Gates Sr., Mrs. James M. Rider,
of Stormstown ; Wm. Gates, of Port Matilda;

His parents wish to extend thanks to neigh-
‘bors and friends for kindness shown dur
‘ing the sickness and death of their son.
KILLED ON THE RATLROAD.— Morris
Burd, the 17 year old son of Charles Burd.
who was connected with the Gepbart music
store in this place, until about a year ago
met a horrible death near Haysville, above
Pittshurg, on Sunday.
He made his home with his parents in
this place up to December, 1900, when he
went to Dakota, where he was to live with
a brother. Later he was heard from in
Chicago and from that city was coming east
with H. J. Harbout, of Greenfield, Ia. mn
charge of a train of cattle.
Both men were riding in the caboose of
the cattle train when it stopped on account
of some hot boxes. The train had scarcely
come to a stand still when a merchandise
freight, that was following, crashed into it.
The caboose was completely demolished
and the wreckage took fire, Burd being
pinned under the caboose could not escape
and the entire upper part of his body was
burned to an unrecognizable mass. Har-
bout escaped by jumping just as the ca-
boose was turning over.
Burd has a sister living at Clarence, this
county.
Fifty hogs and one hundred steers were
killed in the wreck.

THoMAS WATSON.—One of Snow Shoe’s
older citizens and as kind a man as anyone
ever need want to know died Thursday, of
dropsy. For some years he and his brother
Robert had lived together at Clarence, and
he had been sick all winter. He was sixty
years of age and his wife died some years
ago. He was a famous hunter and fisher
and a most entertaining companion.

Martha Haynes, of Altoona ; Mrs. Edward
Poorman, of Snow Shoe; Mrs. William
Jacobs, of Clarence, and three brothers,
Robert, of Clarence ; Mitchell, of Philadel-
phia, and James, of Snow Shoe. Funeral

~——W. Scott Chappel, the well-known
pianist and orchestra manager, of Wil-
liamsport, died in that city suddenly late
Monday afternoon. While returning from
the German home at Wildwood cemetery,
where a quartet had been practicing, he
ran to catch a car. Having a weak heart
the exertion proved teo much for him. He
became seriously ill on the car and was
taken off at Dr. Ella N. Ritter’s office. As
he was being taken up the steps he ex-
pired. He was 45 years old. His remains
were taken to Lewisburg for interment,

Bellefonte and State College, where his
death will be genuinely deplored.

——Grace Linn, the youngest daughter
of Fleming and Ida A. Poorman, of Boggs
township, died at the home of her parents
on the 3rd inst., and was buried next day,
the funeral having been so hurriedly ar-
ranged because of the fact that she died of
membraneous croup. She was 7 years and
17 days old and her death was a very sad
bereavement to the sorrowing parents, who
share the heart-felt sympathy of their
friends and neighbors. Their loved one
rests in peace.

THE AupITORs’ HAVE COMPLETED
THEIR WORK. — After being in session
thirty days county auditors J. H. Beck,
Wm. Tibbens and Archie Allison, with
their clerk, W. Miles Walker, completed
the work of investigating she accounts of
the various county officials and submitted
the following signed report to the court :
*“The hooks and accounts of William T.
Speer, treasurer, were carefully gone over
and find that the records and accounts of
said office are kept with the ntmost neat-
ness and accuracy and that the treasurer
and his deputy, Mr. Corl, are entitled to
commendation for the satisfactory manner
with which the business of the office is con-
ducted.
In the examination of the sheriff's and
prothonotary’s accounts, we find that
both officers have carefully observed the
allowance of the fee bill in all their charges.
Upon investigation of the several ae-
counts of Daniel Heckman, P. H. Myer,
and Abram V. Miller, county commission-
ers, notwithstanding the fact of a reduced
valuation have been able to defray the cur-
rent expenses of the year without an in-
creased millage and have left a very satis-
factory balance to the credit of the county.
We also find that they have exercised
utmost prudence in the payment of bills,
whereby the current expenses of the year
bave been materially reduced, thereby
placing the financial affairs of the county
in good, healthy condition, And we, there-
fore, recommend that the board of com-
missioners and their clerk Mr, Musser be
given the continued confidence and sup-
port of every tax-payer of the county.’

CENTRE COUNTY BEATS THE WORLD. —
Doubtless few of those who read of the un-
precedented record made by a locomotive
on the Pennsylvania road, between Phila-
delphia and New York last Friday realized
that the man who was at the throttle was
an old Centre county boy.
The record-breaking run of ninety miles
in eighty minutes was made in order that
J. Pierpoint Morgan, the great financier,
could keep an important business engage-
ment in New York. He was in Philadel-
phia at the time and it was necessary that
he get to New York by the hour set for the
appointment. There was no way to do it
by relying on the regular fast trains be-
tween the two cities so he chartered a spec-
ial, with a time limit. The company at
once cleared the tracks, picked out a splen-
did engine and then looked for the hest man
at their command to guide it in the flying
race over ninety miles of track. All Cen-
tre countians should feel proud that the
man selected was M. C. Loughrey, a son
of Pat J.oughrey, formerly of Union town-
ship. He hauled the train through with-
out a mishap, making the run in eighty
minutes and beating all railroad records of
speed. ri i :
The Loughrey boys have been meeting
with wonderful success since locating in
was taken to that institation for treatment.
Philadelphia, but this iz an achievement
that lifts the well-known name higher than
ever in engineering fame.

ON SPOTSYLVANIA.—The lecture which
Capt. J. Wendel Muflly, of Des Monies, Ia.,
will deliver in the court house here on the
night of Feb. 20th, promises to be a great
treat for the old soldiers of the 148th Pa.
Vols., who will be in reunion here at that
time. Capt. Mufily served with the reunion
and was in the engagement at Spotsylvania,
thus making his lecture all the more perti-
nent. seit a)
Of his lecture the Des Moines News has
this to say : : ; or
“Captain J. W. Mufily gave the Crocker
Post and Corps. members his lecture on the
Battle of Spotsylvania Saturday night, and it
| was pronounced one of the best things of the
kind to which the old soldiers and their
friends had ever listened. The scenes describ-
ed came before the boys of the war with a
clearness that made them thrill,”

the bankers of Group 6.
—E. 8. Spotts, the Unionville broom and brush
manufacturer, was in town on Saturday and re-
ported that business in his line is flourishing and
on Monday J. H. Spoits, another member of that
well known family, was in town on a little trip
that kept him so busy that he had no time to tar-
ry any where, and the next day Alfred Spotts, of
the same township, honored Bellefonte, with a
visit. A pretty good turn-out of Spotts in three
days, wasn’t it? - The latter came down toarrange
for the sale of his. farm stock and implements,
which will be made on March 20th.

‘SAID PASHA'.—The singing of Rich-
ard Stahl’s comic opera “Said Pasha'’ at
Garman’s, Monday and Tuesday evenings,
by local amatures, more than fulfilled the
expectations of the public. It was clev-
erly staged and the leading roles were
faithfully interpreted, while a large chorus
gave admirable support.
The opera is not as tuneful as others
that have been sung in Bellefonte, but the
costuming was so effective and the stage
pictures so constantly changing that it
proved a most delightful event.
It would be impossible to individualize
the caste, for each and every one perform-
ed and sung so well that there seemed
to be no bright particular stars and to that
fact the great success of the show is attrib-
utable.
It was given under the direction of Mrs.
A. C. Farish and the management of Mr.
Hard P. Harris, who had charge of the
staging and drills of the chorus. To their
untiring efforts and those of Joseph
Katz, the pianist, at rehearsals and his
careful support during the productions
perhaps little attention bas been given
in the glamour of the gorgeous cos-
tumed stage-workers that caught the
popular fancy, hut his work at the
piano earned a large share of their sno-
cess and to Mr. Christy Smith, the conduc-
tor, is due a far larger measure of credit
than will probably be given him. Then
there is Joe Lose, who handled the lights
to such good effect, and Henry Brown, who
not only sang but doubled up as stage car-
penter. We mention the working. staff of
the opera because they are the real causes
of the success and the actors only their
vehicles, though the latter scored so em-
phatically. ;
——~Co. B, N. G. P. was inspected in
their armory here last Thursday evening
by Maj. Samuel W. Jeffries Sr., of Pitta-
burg, inspection officer of the Second bri-
gade. He was accompanied by Maj. Jobn
8. Bair, of Huntingdon, who represented
the Fifth regiment staff. The inspection
was conducted most rigidly and in every
branch of the service Caps. Taylor's men
displayed a knowledge and precision that
was quite in keeping with their high stand-
inz in the Guard and that will probably
push them to the head of the Regiment.
