SMALL-POX AT REBERSBURG—BUT Not SPREADING. —The death of Arthur Lee Bierly, which occurred at the home of his aunt, Mrs:: William Frank, half a mile north of Rebersburg,on Friday, March 7th, bas, turnad out to have been caused by small pox.’ It was regarded as suspicious at the time, but rather than throw that community into a panic of alarm the local papers did not go into an inquisitorial in- vestigation of the case and published the cause as black measles. This was done be- cause the body had turned black immedi- ately after death. Youug Bierly was a son of Hon. W. R. Bierly, of Grand Forks, North Dakota. He had been in Brooklyn for several weeks taking a course of instruction in linotype work, or machine type setting. Upon its completion he went up to Williamsport to visit his father and while there was taken sick. In order that he might be more care- fully nursed he was brought to the home of Mr. Bierly’s sister, Mrs. Frank, near Re- bersburg. There he developed what was at first thought to be a cace of measles and Dr. Bright was called. He became sus- picious of it, but was not positive as to the nature of the disease until some time after the death of the boy. Undertaker Samuel Campbell, of Mill- heim, who was summoned to bury him,did not like the looks of the corpse and declin- ed to give it any other treatment than that usually resorted. to in bad infectious dis- eases. The body was wrapped in a disin- fecting sheet and laid out until the next day, when the undertaker returned with the coffin. Again he declined to touch it, but was finally persuaded to place it in the casket, then he left; leaving the matter of burial to the inmates of the house. Accordingly the four men took the body and buried it in the Union cemetery at Rebershurg. Living in the Frank home are Mr. and Mrs. William Frank, Frank Reed aud Min- nie Shultz, an 8 year old daughter of Har- vey Bierly, of Sugar Valley, whom the Franks had taken to raise. Their visitors were Hon. W. R. Bierly and his two sons, Arthur L., and Ernest P., the elder having been the one who died. The day after the burial of Arthur Bierly Mrs. Frank became ill. That was on Sun- day, March 9th. The next day Mr. Bierly and young Reed started over into Sugar valley on a visit to friends. Thev return- ed the same evening and soon after Reed was taken ill. Dr. Bright was again called to the house and on Tuesday or Wednesday of last week decided that the cases were small pox and quarantined the inmates at once. . Fortunately the people of that vicinity had been suspicious from the first aud none of them had ventured near the house so that the possibility of its spreading was not great, except through the places where Mr. Bierly and Reed bad visited. All of the in- mates of the house except Mr. Bierly have fallen a victim to the disease later and have suffered it in various degrees. They could get no one “to go near them, were without nurses or help from the outside. According- ly the people of that community sent to Lock Haven for a nurse for them. One was secured and as no individual would guaran- tee his pay the overseers were called upon to do so. They did it and when the nurse appeared Mr. Bierly was greatly incensed and refused to aceept a service which he as- serted classed them as paupers. The patients are all convalescent now and there is strong hope that the disease will spread no further. Rebersburg is not quarantined and the residents of that place are indignant at the erratic reports being sent out about their condition. The city papers have been publishing stories to the effect that they have offered $1,000 for services of a physician and offers have fair- ly flooded the town. They have come from Philadelphia, Pittsburg and many inland points. Reports from Rebershurg yesterday were to the effect that a colored male nurse has been secured from Williamsport. He ar- rived Tuesday evening and found all the victims in fairly good condition except Mr. Frank, who got out of bed too soon and bas had a very serious relapse. Mr. Bierly has not been affected at all, though he is very much exhausted through the care of the others. *oo FIRE AT LEMONT.—Lemont had a fire Wednesday evening that might have re- sulted far more disastrously than 1t did, though $1500 worth of property was licked up in a short time by the hungry flames. It started in the attic of the coach de- partment of a general wagon making shop in that place, which was owned by John I. Thompson and occupied by John Lucas, coach- maker, and William Miller, black- smith. There had been no fire in that part of the building for thiee weeks and when it was discovered to be ablaze about 6:30 Wednesday evening, no one could account for its origin. The building was totally destioyed and a dwelling honse owned by Dr. J. YX. Dale, nearby, that was oecupied by Andrew Hassinger, also burned down. Must of the contents of hoth buildings was saved, though so badly broken ap as to be of little value. Dr. Dale, Mr. Thompson and Mr. Miller had insurance.

The place was artistically dec- orated for the occasion, a fine orchestra played during the evening and a great crowd of firemen and their friends were there to enjoy the spread. It wasa great night, as Bellefonte firemen’s smokers al- ways are. There was a chaos of dishes for all tastes, tobacco smoke, oratory aml mu- sic set ont in a rag-time . way that makes such entertainments so delightfully Bo- hemian. Cares were thrown to the winds and judges, statesmen, politicians, bausi- ness-men, mechanics, laborersand “‘gentie- men,’”’ as the jury panel would dignify those who have nothing to do, satshoulder to shoulder around the festive hoard until away into the night. The Undine com- mittee in charge comprised Johu Houser, John MeSuley. Jos. McMahon, Henry Brown and C. Bruce Garman, though the latter was unabe to be there on account of illness. CoUNCIL IN SESSION.—AIll the members of council were present at the regular meet- ing Monday evening and the following business was transacted. - : Upon the recommendation of the Street committee an extra incandescent light was ordered for east. High street. The pave- ment along the Green property on north Allegheny street was condemned and the Bush estate was notified to repair danger- ous coal holes and cellar doors in front of the Arcade. H. C. Quigley appeared on behalf of the board of health and asked for the usual ap- propriation of $100 for that body. He also asked council for anthority to go beyond that limit in the event of an outbreak of small-pox in this place. Council instruct- ed the Finance committee to act in any such emergency. Dr. Geo. F. Harris was reappointed a member of the board, his term having expired. G. W. Rees appeared and asked council for the use of its chamber during the week of the Methodist Conference, the same to be used as a committee room for that hody. The request was granted. Conrad Miller, of east Linn street, and Harry Gehret, of east Howard, appeared and asked for extension of the water serv- ice. It was referred to the proper com- mittee. The bonds of Geo. R. Meek, borough treasurer, $25,000, R. S. Brouse, overseer, $2,000; and Benj. Williams, high constable, $300 were presented and approved. The treasurer’s report showed a balance in hand of $968.50, and council approved bills to the amount of $429.66. The presentation of a numerously signed petition by Geo. R. Meek precipitated a general discussion of the matter of erecting a new water works building. At a recent meeting of council a committee of five was appointed and authorized to go ahead in the construction of a new water works building. not to exceed $6,000 in cost. The action aroused considerable interest in town and has been generally discussed. While there are a few people op posed to doing any new building at this time the -great majority of them are heartily in ac- cord with the idea that if any building is to be done at all it should be done right and that if more than $6,000 will be neces- sary it should be raised. The people of Bellefonte are growing tired of spending thousands of dollars every year for make- shift improvements. They realize now that money is being literally thrown away when it is spent for something that will not last. For instance, had council long ago walled up Water street—if it is coun- cil’s duty to do it—to a heighu above the flood line, then laid a stone walk on top of the wall and put up a neat iron pipe rail- ing it would bave made a permanent im- provement that would have beautified the town, as well as paid for itself in the sav- ing of repairs up to this time. Mr. Meek’s petition was primarily de- signed to call coancil’s attention to these facts, as well as to assure council that a large percentage of the tax-payers of the town are against going ahead in a slip- shod manner in the matter of erecting a new water works building. What they want is something that will not he discov- ered to be too small, or improperly ar- ranged, or a poor job within a few years after ity erection. They have petitioned council to use native lime-stone in the erection of it and to pay such attention to its architecture as will make it an orna- ment at the Big Spring, the spot from which Bellefonte derives its name. While the discussion was on solicitor Fortney read a lengthy opinion in which it was stated that the borough has already exceeded its borrowing limit under the statutes, therefore it will he impossible to do any building at all. It is thought, how- ever, that the matter can be arranged so that $6,000 can be secured to go on with the work. If such is the case the WATCH- MAN calls vpon every citizen of the town who has any interest or concern in the im- provement of Bellefonte to protest most vigorously against a procedure that will saddle another building like the Logan engine house onto the borough as a public building. Bellefonte is big enough, rich enough and is supposed to have intelligence enough to put an end to this penny-wise and pound-foolish manner of conducting its affairs. ' Council is made up of men who will be willing and reasonable enough to listen to you if you will only take enough interest in a matter that concerns yon so vitally to speak about it. If we are beyond our bor- rowing limit now and $6,000 can be raised for a new building more can be raised Ly the same scheme, if it is needed. Don’t let pub- lic funds be sunk in another building we will be ashamed to own when it is com- pleted, especially if a thonsand or more additional would build ope such that our posterity at the end of this century could still be proud of. We should build for more than today. lay ——George N.
