Mes. JANE MeCoy.—On Sunday -even- ing, shortly after nine o’clock, Mrs. Jane Stewart McCoy, widow of Dr. John M. McCoy, and a member of one of the. old- est families in the county, passed away at the ‘home of her only son, Mr. Frauk Mo- Coy, on west Linn street. She had been seriously ill only a few days with dysentery bus her health had been failing foriseveral years, Her death was rather unexpected and vet it was but the natural result of ripe old age, which had constantly been filled with useful activities. Mrs. Jane Ann McCoy was a daughter of Robert T. and Mary Dunlop Stewart. Her father was one of the firm of Lyon, Shorb and Co., the widely known iron manufac- turers, and her mother was a daughter of Col. James Dunlop, one of the founders of Bellefonte. She was 82 years and 2 months of age and her entire life was spent in this community. About "sixty years ago she was married to Dr. John M. McCoy, who was at that time a practicing physician here and who was for many years in part- nership with Dr. George L. Potter. Later Dr. McCoy resigned his practice to join his brother-in-law, J. Harris Linn, whose wife was Harriet Stewart, Mrs. McCoy's sister, in the manufacture of iron at the Milesburg iron works. For some years the family home was at the works at Milesburg but after the death of Dr. McCoy, in 1879, Mrs. McCoy came back here to make her home with her daughter Mary, Mrs, J. Dunlop Shugert. Mrs. Shugert died in 1883 leav- ing a family of little children. From that until the home was broken up, upon the death of Mr. Shugert in 1900, Mrs. McCoy presided over it and was a mother to her four grand children. She was pre-eminent- ly a home woman and was greatly beloved by her kin and neighbors. Of her threechildren only her son Frank, at whose home she died ‘and where she has resided recently, survives. Harriet Linn died in infancy and her daughter, Mrs. Shugert, in 1883. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the McCoy home by the Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Preshyterian church, of which she was a faithful member. Interment was made in the Union cemetery. I I I Mgrs.

Asan ad- ditional . attraction there was a cake walk in the pavilion in which Louis Daggett, Fred Chambers, Strohm Lose, Guy McEn- tire, Jesse Derstine and Joe Barns partici- pated. It was a very clever walk and re- sulted in the first named couple having won the prize.

LABOR DAY RaCES,—Fonr; or five hundred | people went: down: to. the fair ‘grounds; on ‘Monday afternoon, to see -the races’ between ‘the various local horses en: téréd: ‘Though ‘there were no: driving finishes and mest of the events were won'in walks the amusement was plenty and clean. _ The only time there ‘was real racing en: thusiam aroused was at the’ finish of the first event when Point McCoy made a game effort to beat Ivorydale out on the stretch. He bad about. hauled up with the little brown pacer and was making a supreme ef- fort to out-foot him when he made a bad break and went under the wire just half a length behind. ; In the first heat of ‘the running race on of the most exciting incidents ever seen on the fair grounds occurred. There was a field of four. George Furey had his mare ‘Trix?’ entered and when they got off she showed some running qualities that no one expected her capable of. She was four lengths ahead of the field before they turn- ed into the back strbtoh, but the young mare evidently thought she was running off instead of racing, for wheu she reached the gate she suddenly dashed from the track. As it was closed and there was only a distance of a few feet between the track and the gate everyone expected to see hoth horse and rider badly hurt in flying against it. Young Furey who was up, managed to stop her wild flight in the few feet of space and wheeling about went after the bunch again, finishing a close second. That one heat took all the life ont of Trix however, and Sugar bad no difficulty in beating her in the others. The events were raced as follows: TROTTING OR PACING : Point McCoy......orvenasersnnss Beezer) 3 1 2 1 Jack Porter.....

Whatever may be said as to the character of ball these professional and non-professional gentlemen are capable of putting up it goes without saying there will be no lack of genuine, wholesome fun for the spectators, as well as the players. The Coleville band will furnish music during the game and for dancing after sup- per, in which line Cedar will do the need- ful and also have a supply of ice cream on the grounds during the afternoon and evening.

It is a new comedy, full of clever situations and music and the faot that it is one of Shipman’s plays is an earnest of its merit. It will be recalled that their ‘‘Pud’n Head Wilson’’ company was the opening attrac- tion last season and it set a mark of ex- cellence that was never approached by any of the companies that followed it at Gar- man’s. «EID | ~——While loading some baled hay one day last week Fergus Potter, of Linden Hall, fell off the wagon injuring his left foot so that he is obliged to use crutches to get about. tt QA News Purely Personal. —J.
