THE REFORMED CHURCH AT BOALSBURG
REDEDICATED.—The Reformed church at
Boalsburg was rededicated with appropriate
services on Sunday; the occasion having
been most auspicions. The structure is
beautiful without and withip and reflects a
great measure of credits upon the pastor,
.| Rev. A. A. Black, and his congregation.
Mechanics have been at the work of re-
modeling for five months with the result
that a great change has been wrought, es-
pecially in the interior. The choir loft has
been moved from the rear to the front of
the church and i# now directly behind the
The walls and ceilings are frescoed
in artistic style and the new stained glass
windows are in perfect harmouy; the entire
color scheme having been worked out and
executed by Rudy & Co., of Harrisburg,the
firm that did the Methodist church in this
place. The pipe organ has been gone over
and given water power connection and the
entire building brilliantly illumined by an
acetyline plant installed by J. 8S. Rowe, of
Centre Hall.
Bat with all the changes that have been
wrought the bell that summoned souls to
worship in the old stone church seven ty-
five years and more ago still sounds its
solemn call from the belfry. And on Sun-
day there was one woman present at the
services who had heard the first chimes of
that bell when it rang ous for the dedica-
tion of the stone church which stood on the
site of the present structure eighty years
ago. It was Mrs. Sallie Moore who had
this distinction.
St. John’s is almost a new structure. The
high steeple has been displaced by a tower
and a more imposing entrance now leads
into it. The Sunday school room has been
enlarged, a new carpet laid and chairs sub-
stituted for the old benches. In the
church a new carpet also covers the flo or
and on the minister’s desk a handsome new
bible, the gift of John Wanamaker, of
Philadelphia, has been placed. The pul-
pit and farniture was presented by J. H.
Meyer, of Kansas. The altar was the gift
of Judge Frank Keller, of West Virginia,
and the reading desk was presented by his
sister, Mrs. Sophia Keller Hall. The brass
rails and draperies of the altar are memo-
rials to the late D. S. Keller Esq., of this
place, presented by his sons Harry and
Will,
The collection plates were the gift of the
Grand Rapids Furniture Co. The windows
are in memory of Rev. W. H. Groh, Dr. C.
P. Fisher, Samuel Ishler, J. W. Keller,
Daniel and Elizabeth Moser, William and
Catharine Bradford, Jacob Meyer Sr., John
Russell Harrison, George and Harriet Fort-
ney, Peter and Sarah Kuhn, Daniel and
Catharine Wieland, Joseph, Henry and
Catharine Meyer and to the Sanday school
classes 7 and 13.
The entire expense of the remodeling was
$7,400. Of that amount. all had been sab-
| scribed but $1,700, which was readily pro-
vided for at the morning service and an
extra $100 was added to the fund in the
evening.
All of the services incident to the rededi-
cation were largely attended and were car-
ried out exactly as announced in the
WATCHMAN last week.

CoUNCIL IN SESSION. —There were pres-
ent at the regular meeting of council Mon-
day evening members Reynolds, Potter,
Mallory, Gherrity, Kirk and Knisely. The
business transacted was in substance as
follows :
Upon the application of Samuel Leitzel,
of Beaver street, for the extension of the
water service to his home, it was stated
that it would require the laying of 475ft of
pipe. The matter was referred to the Wa-
ter committee, with power.
The Fire and Police committee reported
injuries to officer Miller, while in pursuit
of his duty, and asked that his physician’s
bill of $6 be paid. After considerable dis-
cussion as to the advisability of establish-
ing a precedent in such cases it was ordered
paid.
The Nuisance committee presented a bill
for the disinfection of the Gates home, on
Lamb street, after the recent scourge of
soarlet fever and asked council to approve
its payment by the Board of Health. It
was approved.
The ‘‘special”’ Water committee reported
the work progressing in the direction of
putting in a new water pump, the partial
completion and satisfactory testing of the
|| reservoir and asked for a portion of the ap-
propriation of $6,000 made last spring to
carry on the work. This precipitated a con-
| flict of words between several of the mem-
bers of ‘the body on the ground thas the
| ‘‘special’’ committee had extended its work
SL .. (| to the reservoir, whereas it had been au-
su Af - | iy

ter works only.- It ended hy the granting
of the sum asked for.
The treasurers report showed a balance
of $2,736.81 in the borough fand and $811.-

SMALL-POX IN BELLEFONTE.—There was
a flurry of excitement in town last Friday
when it was discovered that there is a case
of small-pox in our midst and the way the
people have been flying around to the phys-
icians to get vaccinated is enough to turn
the head of a high priced plumber in the
dead of winter.
The case is located in the home of J. C.
Murphy, on Curtin street. Mr. Muarphy’s
family are new comers. They moved here
ago.
Recently their httle four year old daugh ter
returned from a visit to her former home
and shortly after reaching here was taken
sick. A physician being called could find
nothing serious the matter with her, but
upon a second visit her symptons bad
become suspicious and he advised the family
‘to keep aloof from others until it wonld
develop far enough for him to be certain.
In a day or so it became evident that the
child bad small-pox and a very rigid quar-
antine was declared at once. The board of
health was prompt to throw every safe-
guard about the place and immediately
upon the notification of it Sapt. D. O.
Litters directed that all the public schools
be dismissed at once and the rooms fumi-
gated.
The child is getting along as nicely as
could be expected and if the proper pre-
cautions are taken there need be no cause
for alarm, as the epidemic will not spread .
MRS. PERRY FORINGER.— Under the
saddest circumstances possible Mrs. Perry
Foringer died at her home at Jacksonville,
on the 29th, leaving her husband, one son
and baby daughter of only two days to
cherish the memory of a loving and devoted
wife and mother, :
Mrs. Foringer was about 30 years old and
was the daughter of Webner Butler, of Ro-
mola. Interment was made at Beech Creek
last Friday. ; g

Er1As MILLER.-Totally blind and failing
in health Elias Miller died at his home in
Madisonburg last Thursday morning. He
was born in Northumberland county, June
10th, 1814, and was a very old man when
he passed away. In 1836 he was married
to Miss Cecilia Masch. Of their three sons
Harvey and Benjamin F. are still living at
Madisonburg. After the death of his firat
wife, in 1886, Mr. Miller married Amanda
Grimes and one daughter, "Ancsuetta; was
born to them.
Services were conducted by Rev. Wetzel
on Sunday, morning and interment was.
made in the Reformed cemetery.

SIMON WARD.—The death of Simon
Ward occurred at his home at Baileyville
yesterday morning; having been caused in
a peculiar manner. Several weeks ago he
was cutting wood and his ax striking’ on a
soag, glanced and struck him above the
knee. The shock of the blow was so great
that he was prostrated by it and his death
resulted.
Mr. Ward was one of the well known
residents of the upper end of the county.
Having been a carpenter by trade and an
excellent one—many buildings in that sec-
ion stand’ as monuments to his skill. He
was a staunch Democrat and a member of
the Presbyterian church.
Surviving bim are the following, chil:
dren : Warren, Baileyville; Isaac, McDon -
ald; Irvin, Tyrone; Elliot, Washington;
Mrs. John Boop, Harrishurg, and Annie,
at home.
Rev. Campbell will officiate at his fun-
eral to-morrow morning and interment
will be made in the old cemetery at Grays-
ville.
EUSTACE B. GRIMES.—The death of
Eustace B. Grimes, a well known real es-
state dealer of Philadelphia, on last Friday
is sincerely deplored by a number of
friends here. He passed away at the home
‘of “his father, Thomas O. Grimes, number
5418 Vine strees, after an illness of several
months. While he was in the Pennsyl-
vania hospital his wife died in St. Joseph’s
hospital and he never fully recovered from
the shock.
He was born in Pittsburg in 1871 and
after finishing his education came here as
stenographer for the Collin’s Brothers, who
were then operating the Bellefonte Far-
nace and the Buffalo Run road. In 1891,
through the influence of Mr. Tom Collins,
he was appointed private secretary to Wil-
liam F. Harrity, then Secretary of State,
and that he was worthy of the position is
proven by the fact that he Las been asso-
ciated with Mr. Harrity ever since. In
1895 he was appointed a deputy under the
income tax law which position he was
obliged to give up when that act was de-
clared unconstitutional. Then he became
private secretary to Mr. Harrity as presi-
dent of the Eyuitable Trust company and
only resigned that position last December
because of other work. At the time of his
his death he was manager of the Duquesne
Apartment house and secretary and treas-
urer of the Bonneville Portland 3ement
company. He was a most competent and
reliable young man and was especially
popular in the Catholic church. His mar-
riage to Miss Anna E. Bergstresser, of Har-
risburg, took place in 1895 and he is sur-
vived by one daughter.

JOHN RIPKA.—The venerable John Rip-
ka passed away at his home in Pine Grove
Mills, on Monday afternoon, after a linger-
ing illness with heart trouble and diabetes.

gust 16th, 1825, he was one of the ‘‘land-
marks’’ of that vicinity and was known to
everyone as {‘Pap’’ Ripka, so familiar a
figure was he to all. Of German ex-
traction he was frugal in his habits, honest
and industrions. Early in life he associat-
ed himself with the Reformed church and
was steadfast unto death.
Surviving him are his widow and two of
their three children : Mrs. John Fagan, of
Altoona, and Sarah, at home. Tle son,
Willis, died about a year ago. His broth-
ers and sisters living are Jacob, of Centre

THE WRECK HAs ANOTHER VICTIM.—
The freight wreck on the Bald Eagle Val-
ley railroad, east of Beech Creek, last
Thursday morning, in which flagman John
Haupt lost his life, has added another to
its liet of fatalities. Jesse Snyder, who
was so badly scalded and internally injur-
ed, died in the Lock Haven hospital on
Monday morning. He was a brakeman on
the freight train.
He was a life long resident of Tyrone,
baving heen born there on March 15th,
1878. - A short time ago he was married to
Miss Odessa Stroup, whosurvives him with
two children.
——We never knew that E. C. Beezer
was such a sporteman as his appearance,
when he arrived in town Monday evening,
indicated. He usually makes a suc-
«cess of everything he undertakes but that
string of twenty four pheasants was such a
record breaker that we fear Ed is too truth-
ful to claim that he got them all himself.
No matter how they were bagged he acted
the prince by distributing the entire string
up among his friends here.
——Daniel Showers, formerly a resident
of Zion, this county, but for thirty years a
resident of Whitney’s Point, N. Y., is dead
at Stoddard, Arizona, where he had gone
for bis health recently. He was a son of
Henry Showers, of Zion, and is survived
by two brothers and two sisters : Samuel
Showers, of this place; William, of Phila-
delphia; Mrs. Henry Smith, of Reedsville,
and Mrs. James Johnson, of Zion.

——LKelley and ' Redding of Snow Shoe

bad been operating on and will continue to
take out coal and expect to increase the
