Mes. AUSTIN CURTIN.—Mrs Rachel Fraser Cartin, beloved wife of Col. Austin Curtin, died very unexpectedly at her home at Curtin’s Works on Thursday morning at 2.30 o'clock after a short illness. About one week ago Mrs. Curtin became ill with what was supposed to be neuralgia but her condition was at no time considered even critical and many of her friends did not know that she was even indisposed, so that her death comes to them as a great surprise and shock, as it did to Mr. Curtin, who was alone with her at the time of her passing away. Such shocking fatalities as our com - munity has experienced this winter might seem to have made us immune to sensation of g rief but each one but adds to the sad- ness as the hand of Providence is laid so heavily upon our acquaintances and friends and Col. Curtin bas the sympathy of every one in the community. Mrs. Curtin was born in Ireland and came to this country when she was about six years of age. Her marriage to Mr. Cur- tin took place in Freeport, Illinois, and most of their married life has been spent in the old Curtin homestead at Caurtin’s Works, where they have delightfally wel- comed and entertained many friends and which now loses a very charming and gracious hostess. Through Col. Curtin’s promi nence in military, political and busi- ness affair, Mrs. Curtin was favorably known throughout the county, but she greatly dis- liked publicity and never figured con- spicuously at a general function if she could avoid it. She was a woman of pleas- ing personality and though she had not en- joyed vigorous health for several years she enthusiastically and intimately maintain- ed her many interests at home, in the ch urch and abroad. Funeral services will be held at the family home on Monday afternoon, with her pastor of Methodist Episcopal church officiating. Interment will be made in the Curtin burying ground in the Union ceme- tery in this place. ll I ll FORMER RESIDENTS OF CENTRE COUN- TY.—Mr. and Mrs. Daniel W. Hall, who bave many relatives and friends in this county of which they were former residents, died at their homein West Union, Iowa, on Monday evening after a short illness of grip. Their deaths, occurring scarcely an hour apart, was a sad bereavement to their family and yet there was consolation in their not being separated at the end of their long life together. Mr. Hall was a grand son of Hon. John W. Hall, who was the first member of the Legislature sent from Centre county, hav- ing been elected in 1800. His parents were John and Sarah Weaver Hall and he was born.in Bellefonte eighty-one years ago. Mrs. Hall was Lucinda Kline before her marriage and she was born at Howard about seventy eight years years ago. They went West forty or more years ago and for some time bave lived in ease and retire- ment at their comfortable home in West Union. There they have entertained a num ber of their relatives from this county and though they had been in the West for 80 many years they never lost their inter- est in events here. Mrs. Hall was a sister of ex-sheriff D. Z. Kline and Mr. Hall was a brother of Mrs. Kline. As'long as Mr. and Mrs. Kline lived they subscribed for the paper for their West Union relatives and so careful were they in this business transaction that one or the other always renewed the subserip- tion on the exact day of the year it expir- ed. They are survived by their family of nine children; Mrs. Hardiman Turner, of Fay- ette, Ta; Mis. Nathav Schenck, Elizabeth, John and George, of West Union; Rath ,of Chicago, and Samuel, Moore and William of Cedar Rapids, Ia. The only surviving members of Mr. Hall’s family are his broth- er J. Newlin Hall, of Howard, and his sis- ter Mrs. Hannah Barnhart, of Red Oak, Ia. One brother Samuel F. Kline, of Howard, is the only surviving member of Mrs. Hall's family. Interment was made: in West Union. I Il Ii Megs. W. T. MEYER.—Mr. W. T. Meyer, formerly a resident of this place, died at her home, 1927 Poplar street, Phila- delphia, on Saturday evening, after an ill- ness of several weeks with grip, Mis. Meyer was a daughter of the. late J. H. Musser and was born at Aaronsburg abont forty years ago. She was a very | excellent woman and during their years of residence.in this place endeared herself to a large circle of friends who are grieved to know that she bas died right in the midst of her useful life. Sarviving her are her husband, W. T. Meyer, and their daughter Eva; her moth- er, Mrs. Evelyn Musser, of Aaronsburg,and two brothers, Dr. D. K.«Musser, of this place,and Andrew, of Aaronsburg.

I I I MRs. JENNIE: REID.—The wife of J. Stewart Reid passed away at her home in Jobnstown, on Wednesday of last week, after an illness of eleven weeks with pnen- monia and complications developing from it.

Tallbelm, of Julian, and for a number of years had been a popular teacher in the public schools in this county. Faneral services were held at Julian on Saturday afternoon and interment was made in Black Oak cemetery. MRS. MARTHA BARNHART. — Mis. Martha J. Barnhart, widow of the late John Barnhart, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William McClure, on Bishop street, on Wednesday at noon after a long illness of cancer. Because of her suffering and poor health she closed up her own home last May and came up to her dangh- ter that she might be near a physician. At that time no one bad any hopes of her life being prolonged more than a few weeks and she suffered so intensely during ail these months that her death ought to be looked upon as a happy relief. Funeral services will be held at the McClure home at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, by her pastor Rev. Dr. Shriner and interment will be made in the Union cemetery. Mrs. Barnhart was a daughter of Benj. Aikey and she was born at Hecla sixty- one years ago. After her marriage and until ber husband’s death about sixteen years ago the family made their home on the Barnbart farm east of town and after that they established their home near what is now the Pleasant View chapel. She was a quiet, unassuming woman, devoted to her family and beloved hy them in re- turn. She was the mother of nine children, seven of whom are living. Mrs. William McClure, Mrs. Charles Hassinger, Belle, John and Harry, of this place; Carrie, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Abram Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio. Mrs. Barnhart’s death was the third in the family in the last two years. .

Rhoads, which had evi- dently occurred in that city that morning. As no further particulars were obtainable his sorrow stricken friends here were left to conjecture only what might have been the cause of his sudden taking off. It was not kuown that he had been ill consequent- ly the sad affair was wrapped in mystery until yesterday morning, when another message was received, stating that be was asphyxiated by gas while asleep at his hotel : Deceased was the youngest son of the late Judge Daniel and Maria Smith Rhoads and was born in this place Au- gust 19th,1871. All of his life bad been spent bere, where he was respected asa young man of sterling character, uprightness and scrupulous integrity. = After leaving school be was associated with his brother, E.K. Rhoads, in the coal and grain business and in that way acquired a large acquaintance throughout the county. He was just de- veloping into a man of considerable conse- quence in commercial matters of the town when he decided to take up the develop: ment of the Blue Jacket Mining Co's. properties at Granby, Mo. He went there in the spring of 1901, remaining until fall, when he located in Seattle, Washington, where he was meeting with marked sne- cess as a broker in realty. Those who knew Frank need not be told of his virtues. They were many and his death is indeed to be lamented. Surviving him are his mother and sister Miss Rebecca, his brothers Edward K. and Joseph N., who is general supervisor of the N. Y. Div. of the P. R. R. His body is probably on the way home now. It will be met in Chicago by Joseph, who is going out to inquire the particulars of the friend who will accompany it to that city. ll I ll WILLIAM SoLT.—William Solt who was born near Lauvertown in 1816 died at the home of his grandson, Joseph Albright, at Axe Mann, last Thursday afternoon.

Brown, of this place, officiated at Lis interment, which was made at Shiloh on Sunday afternoon. - I I — -Miss Jane Kelley, one of the faith- fal attach ees of the Bush house, died there on Monday night from the effects of palsy with which she had suffered for some time.

The only borough office for which there was any contest was over-seer of the poor, for which J. Benner Graham, Jno. Trafford and Thos. Shaughenessy were the contestants. Shaughenessy got the North and South wards, while Trafford wou out in the West. In none of the wards was there a contest of any consequence and there was almost unanimity in naming very commendable tickets. THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES. The Republicans named their ticket on Friday evening and had considerable more fun in doing it than the Democrats. First of all, they had a very spirited contest on tax-collector between W. C. Cassidy and Edmund Blanchard. Mr, Cassidy carried his own ward, the South, while Mr. Blaach- ard carried his, the North ; leaving the West as the bone of contention. The con- test was waged so vigorously that they had eighty voters out to the primaries and when the result of their balloting was counted up it was found that Blanchard had won by a margin of four. In the North ward there was a little contest over the nomination for council. Thad Longwell and F. H. Thomas were voted for, but Mr. Longwell receiv- ed the majority and was placed on the ticket. In the West a new element was injected into the contest in the appearance of a Young Men’s Republican Reform Club that had set up a ticket and delegates in op- position to the regular organization. They dropped into the arena of politics like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky and so unexpected was their appearance that for a while they had the old workers completely routed; but the latter gathered themselves together and by the time the fight was finished honors were easy between them, each erowd had landed some prizes and was happy. The result of the contest was as follows : DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE REPUBLICAN W. H. H. Walker....Burgess..............8am'] Loper Geo. R. Meek......... ‘Ireasurer., C. K. Hicklin Thos.

Crissman *o His L1Fk CRUSHED OUT.—Another ter- rible fatality is to be recorded in the long list of shocking accidents that have oc- curred in this place within recent years. On Saturday morning McClellan Lyon, a very excellent young man, lost his life in the crusher mill of the American Lime and Stone Co’s operation in Armor’s gap. He had been in the employ of the com- pany about four months and was in the act of putting a liner in a shaft without having first stopped the engine. While there were no eye witnesses to the terrible scene it is believed that his glove canght on the shaft and he was quickly whirled about it and crushed into a small space be- tween four pinions. While he was not badly mangled or cut his bones were liter- ally crushed to pieces, especially those of his fore arms and legs. He breathed only a few times after the machinery had been stopped and his body disentangled. Deceased was a son of Albert and Susan Lyon, of Lyontown, and was born there about 23 years ago. He was a thoroughly reliable, trust worthy young mau who was generally liked by his fellows. His par- ents, three brothers, Edward, Ambrose and William, survive him, with his sister Ida and his bride of only a few months. She was Lucy Hampton. The body was taken to the home of his parents, whence the funeral was held on Tuesday. lL gai IT Looks Goop—On Tuesday the Daily News devoted a column of space to asugges- tion that might possibly solve the high priced water question in Bellefonte. The idea is one held by the late Henry Brock- erhoff who had figured it out entirely to his own satisfaction and inasmuch as he was a member of council for years he was in a position to know just what conditions were to be confronted. The proposition is to purchase what is known as the old Hale mill and water right now owned by F. W. Crider. The. mill is used by C. T. Gerberich & Son. It can be secured for an annual rental of $2,520 to extend over a period of 15 years, at the end of which time the property will belong to the borough. The proposition is to operate the mill with water and thus supply water power for the water works effecting a saving of $54,000.00 in the fifteen years. ree QQ emma ——Popular plays at popular prices at Garman’s every night next week.

It was a very important business matter and abso- lutely necessary that he be here at the ap- pointed time. After boarding the train at Unionville his omnivorous eye spied some- thing about Grover Cleveland—we pre- sume—and as Grover’s verbosity is well established he was still devouring it when the train pulled into Milesburg. All un- mindful of the transfer he didn’t come to until he was being whisked off toward Lock Haven ata fifty mile an hour clip. Well, the windows were too small to jump out of and the platform too far away for his sudden desire to get off so he had time to think before he ‘leapt’ and consulted the conductor who stopped the train and let him off in the cold, cruei snow, just about a mile away from the station. Words are inadequate to give the public a correct idea of how intensely he enjoyed the walk back to Milesburg, where Lew Bullock came to his rescue with a horse and sleigh and brought him to town. Strange to say that if it really was Grover, who caused all the trouble, we'll bet a town block to a ridge farm that the faith of the ex-commis- sioner of Centre county in the great of apostle condition not theory fame is not shaken. ——t ga ——The anniversary services of the Bellefonte Y. M. C. A., which were held in the Methodist church last Sunday even- ing, proved even more delightful than the most sanguine expected. There were so many present that the aisles had to be fill- ed up with obairs. The feature of the program was the address by Mr. G. N. Bierce, of Dayton, Ohio, who talked for an hour on ‘“‘Opportunities a Young Men’s Christian Association Affords a Com- munity.”” It was a most beautiful word picture of Association work and portrayed by a successful business man it made an im- pression on Bellefonte that will not be ef- faced for years. While we could never hope for an Association like the one at Dayton, if Bellefonte had a Bierce there wonld be a work done here that would challenge the admiration of the christian world. >>> ——e —A local teacher’s institute will be held in Beech Creek on Saturday.
