Two NEw Cases oF SmALL Pox AT
REBERSBURG—ALI of the original small pox
cases in the home of Wm. Frank at Rebers-
burg are convalescent, but notwithstanding
the strict quarantine that was belated in
going into effect two new cases have de-
veloped in the home of William Shultz, a
half-mile distant from the Frank home.
The Shultz children,a little boy and girl,
who had been back and forth to Franks
before the real nature of their disease was
known, were taken sick and now have fully
developed: cases of small pox. On Sunday
night the little boy was carried to the
Frank home and on the following Tuesday
night his little sister Tessie was taken over
to the place which seems really turned in-
to a pest house. . :
Mrs. Frank, Mr. Frank and Frank Reed
have so far recovered from their attacks as
to be able to be up and about, while the
Hon. Willis Bierly, Minnie Shultz, Ernest
Bierly and the little daughter of Harvey
Bierly, of Sugar Valley, the other inmates
of the Frank home, who had the disease
are all doing well.
MILLHEIM HAS A CASE.
Edward Winters, the man who helped
undertaker Samuel Campbell, of Millheim,
lay-out Arthur L. Bierly. the young man
who died with the first case in the Frank
family, is down with the disease now.
With the undertaker he went over to
‘Franks on March 7th and after helping to
prepare the body for burial be returned to
‘| his'home. Being suspicious of the case at
the time he was vaccinated that night. The
vaccination took very well and continued
taking until Saturday morning when Win-
tets took to his bed and Dr. Frank an-
nounced that he had a slight case of small
pox, though it is thought his is more from
nation that anything else.
| Mr. Winters is 36 years old and has a
wife, but no children. Their home is
strictly quarantined and a trained nurse
was secured from Williamsport for him on
Wednesday evening. The people in Mill-
heim are taking every precaution to pre-
vent a spread of the disease.
: EAGLEVILLE HAS A SCARE.
Eagleville was considerably excited by
the appearance there of persons exposed
to small pox. Orrin Stover and wife re-
taroed this week from a lumber camp near
Reynoldsville in which one of the work-
men developed a bad case of small pox.
Mr. and Mrs. Stover had charge of the
camp and were exposed to the case. Be-
fore the camp was quarantined they left
and came to Eagleville, stopping at the
Blanchard house, their former home, now
ocoupied as a boarding house by Mrs. Linn,
a widow. The factsin the case became
known Thursday and the school directors
of Liberty township, on authority from the
health officers in Bellefonte, quarantined
all in the Stover house to await develop-
ments. The children of those who had
called at the house were hastily sent home
from school. Those who were exposed
there were very uneasy and much indigna-
tion wab expressed because the facts were
not made public’ immediately. ‘A partial
quarantine "is being kept up, but there
were no’ indications of an outbreak of the
disease up to yesterday.
“+ 'ZI10N FRIGHTENED.
For the past week the case of Charles
Rockey, who had been at Pitcairn working
and came to his home at Zion about two
weeks ago, only to be laid low with sick-
ness, has been exciting the people of that
place. He was believed to havesmall pox,
but Dr. Fisher, who is attending the case,
strenuously denies the story. Report from
there yesterday was to the effect that he is
about well.

CoNDUCTOR UNDERWOOD'S NARROW Ek-
CAPE. —Conductor’ Zeph. Underwood, of
the L. and T. freight 193, bad a miraculous
escape from very serious injury on Satur-
day evening, in fact it is almost a miracle
that he escaped with his life. :
The freight was bonnd for this placé and
was running in from Lemont ahead of the
Lewisburg passenger. When abouta mile
north of Pleasant Gap the caboose left the
rails and turned clear over on its side, be-
ing dragged quite a distance hefore the
coupling broke. Conductor Underwood
was the only one in it at the time and for-
tunately was near enough to the door to
jump. He landed on the track, hetween
the rails, and while badly shocked and
bruised escaped without a broken hone.
He was brought to his home in this place
where he is still confined to his hed, though
Flagman Jack
Barnhart would probably have been on the
wrecked caboose also, had he not been
dropped at Dale’s Summit to flag the pas-
senger train that wax following.

— Claire Kessinger, an employee in the
McCalmont quarries of the American Lime
and Stone Co., met with an accident last
right hand. Asitis he will probably es-
cape with the loss of his little finger only.
He was drying out a 15f¢ hole and when it
was done he dropped a stick of dynamite
into it. The stick did not go down prop-
to the bottom. An explosion followed,
blowing the rod clear through Kessinger’s
hand, which was so badly shattered that it
was at first thooght it would have to be
amputated. - 2

—H. W. Gibson, "general secretary of
the Lancaster Y. M. C. A., talked on ““The
Boy Problem,’ in the Presbyterian chapel
here, on Monday night, and quite a large
namber of interested persons were there to
hear him. After a general treatise of the
boy the meeting resolved itself into a con-
ference of the whole and ‘some very inter-
esting questions were asked and’ discussed.
Mr. Gibson's theory that a hoy can be moss
easily reached and interested by studying
him and working with him along boy lines
is the ove that has borne results to amount
to anything. A hoy will be a boy all
the time and any effort to tie him to his
mother’s apron strings or make a premature
saint out'of him will only result in making
him the less able to combat the sin that
must eventually confront him as a young
man.

Hox. N. L. Atwoop.—The Hon. Na- |
than L. Atwood, well known in political
circles throughout the State, died in a hos-
pital in Erie, on Monday, baving failed to
withstand the shock of an operation for an
obstruction in the bowels. His remains were
‘brought to Howard on Wednesday, where
Revs. Bergen and Miller, of the Disciple
church, officiated at the interment, which
‘was made in the private burying ground of
the Packers.
Mr. Atwood was the last of the family of
Origin Atwood and was a brother of the
late Mrs. John H. Orvis of this place. He
was born near Ithaca, N. Y., about 81
years ago and most of his early life was
spent at Salona with his parents. He was
a brilliant man, but peculiar in the respect
that with all of his talents he could not
confine himself to any particular vocation.
From the management and operation of a
foundry, he became a lawyer, then a
preacher in the Disciple church and in the
later years of his life devoted much of his
time to politics. He displayed signal abili-
ty in all of these widely diverging spheres
but seemed more pleased with variety than
in attaining the eminence that was within
his grasp in any one of the undertakings
he made.
Surviving him are his six children: John,
of Oil City; Origin, of Bellefonte; Frank
and Thomas, of Girard, and Alice and Jane,
both of whom were at home with him.

AT IT AGAIN.—We are informed that, as
at the Milesburg convention last year,
Missioner Crittenden is again using his in-
fluence for the presence of the women at
the county Sunday school convention to be
held in Millheim the 8th of April. He has
informed the women that the delegates in
attendance, taking little or no exercise,
need only a plain lunch for dinner and no
sumptuous fare for the mid-day meal.
The women kept at home like Martha in
the Gospel ‘‘cumbered about much serv-
ing’’ lose the benefit of the meetings, while
the delegates, overmuch discomfited by a
big dinner, gain nothing except a brief
temporary gratification.
Mr. Crittenden claims that all the physi-
cians accord with him in his hygienic di-
rections.

——The board of directors of the Belle-
fonte Academy, through Gen. James A.
Beaver, Ellis L. Orvis, J. W. Gepliart, John
M. Shugert and John Blanchard, a commit-
tee, have just passed lengthy resolutions
accepting the resignation of Rev. James P.
Hughes as principal of the Academy and
making him principal emeritus. Rev.
Hughes’ long and faithful service in eduoa-
tional work here has merited all the splen-
did ecomiums voiced in the resolutions and
his retirement with the famous old institu-
tion on the high tide of usefulness is especi-
ally auspicious. Prof. James R. Hughes
has been chosen his successor, thus insuring
to the Academy a continuation of ‘that
earnest and scholarly gentleman's service.
