WASHINGTON LONEBERGER.—Washing-
ton Loneberger, who wasa boy in Belle-
fonte when this place boasted only a few
hundred residents and probably the oldest
man born in the town, passed away at his
home on the top of Nittany mountain,
above Pleasant Gap, on Monday morning
at 10:30. Though 87 years and 9 months
old be had been in a remarkable state of
activity up to the day before his death,
when he was taken ill. A physician was
summoned, but his condition was not re-
garded with alarm consequently his sudden
death next morning was a great shock. If
is not definitely known just what the case
was, though it is believed to have been
neuralgia of the heart.
Born in Bellefonte in 1815 he resided in
this place until he was 17 years old, when
he moved, with his parents, to the farm on
the mountain top that has afforded him a
peaceful, contented domicile for three score
years and ten. Mr. Loneberger was the
oldest resident of that entire community.
His life had been characterized by such
simple unostentation, steadfast integrity
aud christian fellowship that his neighbors
and friends may well mourn the closing of
such an honorable career. He lived in
peace among them and was regarded with
patriarchal esteem, for he failed in none of
the duties of good citizenship and to the
last lent his every effort to the success of
Democracy.
Deceased was married twice. His first
wife was Elizabeth Eisenhuth. Surviving
their union are George, of Oak Hall;
Augustus and Mrs. Mollie Miller, of
Lincoln, Kansas; Pierce, of Willis, Kansas;
John, of Oklahoma; Mrs. Ella Miller, of
Johnstown; and Mrs. Alice Waite, of
Pleasant Gap. His second marriage was to
Miss Mary Floray, who also survives him
with their two children Oscar, on the farm
at home and Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, of
Bellefonte.
Interment was made at Centre Hall yes-
terday morning. Rev. Rarick, of the
Lutheran church, of which he was a mem-
ber officiated at the services, with Rev. B.
A. Salter, of Pleasant Gap assisting.

L. B. McENTIRE.—One of the county’s
old citizens passed away in Williamsport
last Saturday, when L. B. McEntire died.
For years and years he conducted a general
merchandise business and ‘was postmaster
at Fillmore, on the Buffalo-run road, and
there he became known as a straight-for-
ward man, conscientious in his dealings
with his fellows and earnest in his devo-
tion to the service of the Master.
He was born in Clarion county in 1824,
but in early life located in Centre, near
Houserville, later going to Fillmore where
he remained twenty-four years, finally
closing out his business and locating in
this place. He conducted a store in Bush
Addition until a year or so ago when fail-
ing health forced his retirement, Then
| the death of the wife who had shared the
sortows'and pleasures of a long life with
him brought a double measure of sadness
and he began to fail. A few months ago
he moved to Williamsport to make his
home with his son Harry and there he,
died.
He was a veteran of the civil war; hav-
ing been a member of Gregg post, G. A. R.
and a delegation from that body consisting
of W. H. Musser, Charles Glenn, Charles
Eckenroth, S. B. Miller, Amos Garbrick
and David Love acted as pall bearers at the
funeral on Monday. The body was brought
here on a noon train and after services had
been held in the Methodist church it was
taken to Houserville for burial.
Surviving him are his children J. C.,
Edward, Harry H. and Ella, of Williams-
port; Dr. O. W., of Howard, and Mrs. A.
B. Cowher, of Bellefoute. 0
RoBerT G. DAVIES KILLED.—Robert
G. Davies, who will be remembered as
having been a resident of Bellefonte a
number of years ago, also an instructor in
chemistry at The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege in 1887, met with an accidental death
near Hitehcock, Virginia, recently.
When here he was manager of the Union
Mining and Roofing company. Three
years ago he went to Norfolk, Va., and
engaged in business. About one year ago
he became manager of the Fountain Creek
Granite company, of Hitchcock, Va.,
whose works are near that town. On July
25th he was instantly killed while in the
act of taking a flat car down the incline,
the brakes failing to work. He either
slipped or was thrown from the car and
was crushed over the heart. His death
was instantaneous, but his body was not
mangled.
The deceased was aged 38 years and was
a native of Slatington, Lehigh county.
Two years ago he was united in marriage
with a Miss Minor, of Norfolk, who sur-
vives him. He also leaves one brother,
Charles P. Davies, of Philadelphia, The
deceased has many friends in Bellefonte
who will regret the sndden and tragic end-
ing of his life. = 1 if :

the cause of the unexpected death of
George D. Kline, which occurred at Oak

having. been born there about seventy
years ago. For fifty-one years he had
been a resident of this county ; most of his

liam Bohn and Miss Annie, of Oak Hall;

AX ESTIMABLE YOUNG WOMAN.—MIs.
M. M. Hunter, who was formerly Miss
Laura Tipton, of Howard, a daughter of
Rebecca J. and the late Absolom Tipton,
died at her home in Elmira, N. Y. last
Sunday, and her body was brought to
Howard last Tuesday for burial. Very
impressive services were held in the M. E.
church of that place conducted by the Rev.
Boggs, pastor of the M. E. church, assisted
by the Rev. Bair, of the Evangelical
church.
Mrs. Hunter spent her early life near
Howard and became a resident of that
place in 1885, when the family retired
from their country home. She was con-
verted and became a member of the M. E.
church during the pastorate of the Rev.
George E. King and always lived a con-
sistent life and was an active and energetic
laborer in God’s work.
In 1890 she was married to Mitchell M.
Hunter and was a faithful and devoted
wife and mother. But the dread destroyer
came in the form of consumption and
despite all efforts of medical science she be-
gan to weaken and wear away until almost
five years of patient suffering had passed
ere the final call came, and she fell asleep
in the arms of Jesus.
She leaves a husband and two children :
Harold, a boy of 8, and Frances, a girl of 6
years. Besides her mother, Mrs. R. J.
Tipton, and two sisters, Mrs. J. T. Ryan,

burg as a United States mail agent, was in
the wreck of the fast mail at Pack-Saddle,
near Bolivar, Wednesday of last week.
The engine and two mail ears were
wrecked beyond repair, the engineer and |
fireman were killed, and one of the other
clerks in Charley’s car was killed. As for
himself he says : ‘I have no idea how
escaped being killed, but I did. It was
miraculous and utterly beyond compre-
hension.” The train had smashed all
previous time records between Altoona and
Pittsburg and was lowering its own record
at the time the engine left the track. It
had just covered fifty-three miles in forty-
seven minutes twisting down the curves on
the western side of the Alleghenies.
CouxcIL MEETING.—AS# the meeting of
council Monday evening the following
business was transacted :
The ordinance pertaining to the laying
out of Willowbank street, from Reyuold’s
mill to the borough line, was adopted,
without objection on the part of either
councilman or citizen. The street conforms
to the old lines. The ordinance laying out
Water street, however, met objection on
the part of a number of property owners
along that thoroughfare who were present
to notify council that they would expect to
recover damages for any encroachments
upon their property. It was adopted
without regard to the amendment passed
at the last meeting opening the street to a
uniform width of 40 ft. north of High.
The ordinance calls for 40 ft., 35 ft. and 30
ft. After its adoption council ordered the
clerk to wipe the record of the amendment
from the minutes. On the motion to open
the street to the three different widths the
ayes and nayes were called, members Rey-
nolds and Kirk voting nay. They favored
a uniform width of 40 ft.
The report of the Water committee fix-
ing a rate for meter tax, setting times for
collecting the same and authorizing the
superintendent of the water works to be
the collector was then taken up for discus-
sion and passed finally. Mr. Canningham
voted nay on the wmeasure. There was
nothing of importance in the reports of
other committees. A balavce of $282.32
was shown to be in the treasury on August
4th and after the following bills were ap-
proved council adjourned.

A PiTcH FORK THROUGH His JAw.—I6
will be remembered that last winter the
home of David Long, near Jacksonville,
was destroyed by fire and that the family
came £0 near burning up that they were
rescued from an upper window in their
night clothes. As they bad no insarauce
they lost everything they owned.
Recently Mr. Long met with an accident
that seems as though an unkind fate is
pursuing him. He was helping haul in
grain and while riding to the field in the
empty ladders the board in the bottom of
the wagon broke, letting him fall through.
One of the wheels passed over his chest and,
in addition, the prong of a fork penetrated
tis chin, coming out at the side of the jaw.

A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.—Ben Gable, of
Milton, met with a horrible accident at
the Jenkin’s Iron and Tool Co’s. works, at
Howard, Wednesday morning. While at
work at the rolls a piece of 5-8 wire, red
hot, shot clear through the calf of his left
leg; making an agonizing wound. In his
frantic efforts to remove it he burned all
the flesh off the palms of both hands.
Finally, a fellow workman, Ed. Cain, re-
moved the wire with a pair of tongs.
Two physicians were called at once and
Or Kurtz was sent to the Lock Haven hos-
pital with the injured man. It is feared
his leg will have to be amputated.

CHILD DROWNED AT BEECH CREEK.—
Floyd Swartz, the 6-year-old son of Marion
Swartz, of Beech Creek, fell into the
stream near his home in that place on Sat-
urday afternoon and as no one saw the ac-
cident the child was drowned.
When he was missed some time later
and it was remembered that he had been
seen last playing along the banks of the
stream dragging was resorted to at once
and his body was found about three hun-
dred yards further down the stream.
All efforts at resuscitation failed to
bring back the vital spark. :

mediately when the Pheasant bell begins

horses will throw up their heads, neigh and
attempt to turn toward the house.

can, which was melted flat, with all its
contents. :

making an effort to secure the presence of

——James Walls, aged about fifty years,
succeeded in ending his life on Wednesday
of last week. He lived near Philipsburg
and had been demented for some time, his
mania being to commit suicide. On Wed-
nesday morning he succeeded in escaping
from those who kept watch over him aud
got down to the railroad track near Hawk
Run. There he concealed himself along
the bank until the train from Munson ap-
proached. Then he threw himself in front
of the locomotive and was instantly killed.
He is survived by a widow and three chil-
dren.
