Murray, the well known druggist, in Centre Hall, on Saturday morning at 5:30 o'clock. : His death is sad, especially so since it cuts down one who had given promise of a bright future and about whose life the hope- ful expectations of a young wife and fond parents were centered. His early life was spent in Centre Hall, where he received a preliminary education for Princeton. After he was graduated from the latter university he took up news- paper work in New York and later came to Bellefonte, where he read law with Beaver & Dale. Shortly after being admitted to practice he located in Philadelphia, later going to Reading. It was at the latter place that his condition became such as to compel his departing for another climate. He located at Colorado Springs, Col., where he practiced law for awhile then took up newspaper work again by becom- ing the editor of a weekly paper published at that resort. His condition was not much improved, however, and last summer he came back to his home at Centre Hall, where he died. Brief services were held there Sunday evening and on Monday his body was tak- en to Reading for burial. ll l l REV. D. L. HuGHES, D. D.—Rev. Dan- iel LL. Hughes, D. D., the widely known Presbyterian preacher and writer, died Thursday evening at Lake Charles, in Louisiana, where he had been spending the winter at the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. W. Kinney.

He was pastor of the Presbyterian church at Pennsylvania Furnace in the 40’s and un- til 1870 efficiently taught and preached in this section of the State. At that time he felt called to engage in the Home Mission work in Towa and there he worked inspir- ingly until 1890, when his health broke down and he was obliged to retire from active service. He was born at Cape May, N. J., Jan. 8th, 1820, and was the third son in a fami- ly of twelve children. Two of his brothers became ministers of the Presbyterian church and three of his sisters married Presbyter- ian preachers. His wife died in 1886, but be is survived by five children. Funeral services were held in Lake Charles and in- terment was made at Vinton, Iowa, where Mrs. Hughes is buried. I ll GRANT ARDERY.—The many friends of Grant Ardery, who was formerly a resident of this place, were shocked to learn of his death on Wednesday morning.

Up to last October they had been residing in Bellefonte, where he was employed as engineer at the match factory, but he secured a better position on the N. Y. C. R. R. and moved away to Jersey Shore.

A RECORD BREAKING RuN.—They are making a record breaking run at the Belle- fonte furnace this month in the face of ob- stacles that would more than discourage the average furnaceman. There was so much danger of ‘‘scaffolding’’ a week ago and the furnace output was reduced so much that rather than worry with it long- er at a time when every ounce of iron that could be run out was in demand Supt. Gephart ordered the furnace ‘‘blowed out.” It was done and exactly four days later she was ‘‘blowed in’? again and was running one hundred tons of iron daily. It was so hot in the bosch of the furnace when the men got in to dig out the scaffold iron that they could remain there but five minutes at a time. When, on the fourth day, it had all been cleaned out and the dry wood ranked in ready for relighting the fires, the heat was still so great as to ignite it'and several of the men only es- caped burning to death by scrambling out of the pipe holes at the side of the furnace. With all these difficulties and the short- est month in the year to operate in they expect to turn out twenty-two hundred tons of iron at the furnace during Feb- ruary. . - *oe STRUCK BY A TRAIN.—Benjamin Handi- shell, who lives about one mile west of Curtin’s Works, had a miraculous escape from death on Saturday afternoon. He was on the railroad track near the Miles- burg station when the train that leaves here at 1:05 p. m. bore down upon him. The old man seemed to be so much pre- occupied that he did not hear it, the usaal noise heing deadened by the heavy snow. A car struck him and knocked him about ten feet out into a drift, where he was picked up and carried into the station. The train was held about ten minutes in order to take him home, but the old man refused to ride on it when he came to, say- ing he had his sled and would go home on it. Though badly bruised no bones were broken. On Monday he was reported to be getting along nicely.

THE INDIAN CONCERT.—It was too bad that the weather and the condition of the streets in Bellefonte on Saturday night were such as they were, for under more favorable circumstances there certainly would have been a larger audience in the court house to hear the Seneca Indian quartet. It was here under the direction of Rev. Crittenden and while making no pretense of musical art, the Indians did sing their simple songs in a very pleasing fashion. 3 It is a weil established fact that the In- dian has very little music in him, but the four that Rev. Crittenden has gathered about him from the Cornplanter reservation up in Warren county are notable excep- tions to the rule. They sang here for the benefit of two chapels which Rev. Crittenden is endeavor- ing to erect near Keating. ——Former sheriff John P. Condo, of Millheim, made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors on Tuesday. nam- ing former prothonotary W. F. Smith and W. H. Runkle Esq., as assignees. His as- sets are approximated at $11,000 with lia- bilities amounting to $9,000 or $10,000. Mr. Condo’s embarrassment is supposed to have been brought about through branch- ing out too extensively in various enter- prises on a limited capital. He bought a farm, a property and store in Millheim aud another store over at Woll’s Store -all within a short period and the load was more than he could carry. It is believed he will be able to pay dollar for dollar. ~—The Wholesale Merchants Association of Central Pennsylvania held their second annual meeting at Philipsburg on Satur- day, where they were guests of John G.
