Four VENERABTE CITIZENS GONE. —Within the past week Rebersburg and Aaronshurg have lost four of their oldest and most highly esteemed residents. From the former place Reuben Gramley and Nathaniel Bowersox have gone to join the great majority ;: from the latter Henry H. Weaver and A. J. Sylvis have departed, never to return. Mr. Gramley was a son of Philip and Barbara Gramley and was born Dee. 7th, 1830. On December 18th, 1856, he was married to Miss Anna Wolf, who survives him with the following children : Clark, of Rebersburg ; Mrs. Luther Guisewhite, of Harrisburg, and Mrs. George Ocker, of Lewisburg. Deceased had heen in failing health for some time so that his death, which occurred last Friday, was not un- expected. Funeral services were held on Monday morning, with Rev. Harman, of the Lutheran church, of which he wasa consistent member, officiating. The death of Nathaniel Bowersox oc- cutred on Sunday morning as a result of a stroke of paralysis with which he was prostrated on the 31st ult. He was 67 years. 5 months and 13 days old and was a very well-known resident of Miles town- ship ; having been overseer of the poor at the time of his death. Surviving him are his widow and nine of their eleven chil- dren, two having died in infancy. Rev. Buck, of the Evangelical church to which he was devoted, officiated at the funeral, which was held yesterday morning. His children are Mrs. Mary A. Bierly, of Reserve, Kansas : Mrs. Emma E. Bressler, Rebersburg ; Mrs. Ida V. Bair, Smullton ; Floyd E., Spring Mills ; Allen E., Hiawa- tha, Kansas ; William, Falls City, Neb. ; Clement H., Dunlap, Iowa, and Mrs. Tammie E. Lamey, Green Burr, Pa. The venerable Henry H. Weaver passed away at his home in Aaronsburg, on Tues- day morning, after an illness of about five weeks with kidney trouble. He had reach- ed the ripe old age of 80 years and died in full fruition of an honorable, christian life. In his active years he was a man of much influence and usefulness in that community He was a veteran of the civil war; having served with distinction for four years with the 148th P. V. Twice married, his second wife survives him with these children: C. A., of Coburn; Mrs. Oliver Wolfe, of Wolf's Store; Mrs. C. C. Bell, Huntingdon; Geo. J., Margaret and Thomas C., of Aarous- burg. Rev. B. R. Sheeder, of the Reform- ed church, will conduct the funeral serv- ices this morning. The death of A. J. Sylvis, which occar- red on Friday, removed a very highly es- teemed old gentleman. He was 75 years, 11 months and 25 days old. Deceased was a veteran of the civil war ; having been a corporal of Co. D. 21st Reg. Ohio Vols. when mustered out. Six sons preceded him to the grave, leaving only his widow and two children surviving. The latter are J. P. Sylvis, of Oak Grove, and Mrs. Henry Kreamer, of Aaronsburg. Funeral services were held at his late residence on Monday and interment was made at Aaronsburg. I I i REV. JoHN A. DE MoOYER.—Rev. John A. De Moyer, one of the best known of the older ministers in the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Conference, died suddenly at Trevorton, Northumberland county, on Tuesday. He is well known in this coun- ty, where in the early days of the church he was a much beloved circuit rider. After several years of retirement from active ministerial work Rev. De Moyer ap- plied to the conference in session here last March to be placed on the active list again and he was given the Trevorton appoint- ment where he was working away when death came to call him to the reward that awaits all the faithful workers in the Mas- ter's vineyard. The deceased was born at New Berlin, Pa., and was converted at the age of 16 years. He began preaching in 1851, his first station being Middleburg. Daring the year which followed he served many appointments, among the number being Penn’s Valley, Warriors-mark and Half Moon, Manor Hill, Sunbury, Houtzdale and Duncannon. He was pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Hollidays- burg— 1877-79. At the time of his death lie was pastor at Trevorton. He was an earnest expounder of the Gospel and a man whose life was an example for others to follow. I I I HARRY 8. RossMAN.—After an illness that had extended over a period of sixteen months Harry S. Rossman passed away at the home of his mother, at Nittany, on last Friday. Deceased was about 45 years of age and was held in high regard for his many estimable qualities by the people of that community. At his funeral the Nit- tany band, of which he was an active mem- ber, turned out as an organization and played several selections appropriate to the sad event. I I I ——Meadville R. Blowers died at his home in Philipsburg on Tuesday morning, after an illness extending over a period of two months. Though his condition was regarded as. serious the fatal ending was not expected. Deceased was a young man of good habits and pleasing disposition. For some time he had been an employe of the Platt-Barber Co. in Philipsburg and was held in high regard by his employers. I I fl —— Mrs. Elizabeth Greth, who died at her home in Pittsburg last Thursday, after a long illness of Bright's disease, was a daughter of the late Bernard Lauth, of Howard, and was born at that place about 51 years ago. Her husband and five sons survive her. The body was taken to How- | ard for burial on Monday. Mes. Louisa CALHOUN.— Mrs. Louisa Calhoun, who has been a resident of this place for some years but who is better known to most of our people through her kinship to the Beaver, Hayes and Orbison families, passed away on Tuesday morning at the home of Miss Sarah Hagerman, on Linn street, after a long illness. Mrs. Cal- houn was eighty one years of age and had been much of an invalid for months. In- deed it was only because of the constant devotion and loving care of her daughter, Mrs. Atwood, and the services of good nurses that her life was prolonged as it was. Mrs. Calhoun was a native of Hunting- don and is the last of William Orbison’s family which many years ago was one of the most prominent and influential in the Juniata valley. One sister was married to the Hon. Hugh McAllister, of this place, and died many years ago. Another sister, Mrs: Eilen Harris, died in Venice a few weeks ago. A brother, Rev. James Orbi- son, was the husband of Mrs. N. D. Orbi- son, of Curtin street, and the late William P. Orbison, of Huntingdon, was a leading member of the Huntingdon county bar, Mrs. Calbhoun’s husband, Samuel Calhoun, died about 1883 and since then she and her daughter, Mrs. Emma Atwood, have spent most of their time in this place. She was a very gracious woman, cultured and in- telligent, but her innate gentle disposition and quiet retired life gave little opportun- ity for the beauty of her character to be known beyond her home and family circle. Funeral services were held at the Hager- man home on Linn street yesterday after- noon, at 3 o’clock, by the Rev. Dr. Laurie and this morning her body will be taken to Huntingdon for interment in the family burying ground. ll I I ——John Hicklin, whodied in Dr. Keen's private hospital in Philadelphia, on Fri- day, from the effects of a cancer of the throat, was a resident of Philipsburg. He was born at Unionville about 55 years ago and was a son of the late Isaac Hicklin. His wife, who was Miss Lucy Snyder, of Kylertown, survives, together with one daughter, Miss Pattie. He also leaves two brothers and one sister, viz: Harlan, of Pittsburg; Enos, of Mt. Eagle, and Mrs. Sue Tripple, of Daluth, Minn. Interment was made in Philipsburg on Monday. Qn ——The Hon. Wm.

Russell, formerly aresident of Aaronshurg, this county, met with a horri- ble accident at his home near Red Top, Union county, last Thursday evening.

Mr. Russell was about 55 years old and is sur- vived by his widow and two daughters. es: -———Sowmebody who is 1 ooking for a nice opportunity to go into business might find something to interest them in the G. W, Rees grocery store in the Eagle block. Mr. Rees’ appointment to the deputy revenue collectorship has made it impossible for him to attend to his business here so he is offer- ing his store for sale. I is a nicely equip- ped, well located business and would be very profitable in the hands of some person who would give it personal attention. If you are looking for a nice business location or want to get a good grocery to locate some- where else you should correspond with Mr. Rees. THE BELLEFONTE GLASS WORKS CLOS- ED INDEFINITELY.—On Saturday what was probably the last blowing that will be made for some time at the factory of the Belle- fonte Window Glass Co. in this place was made. Already many of the men have scat- tered in search of employment, some of them to Arnold, some to Jeannette some to Kane. ! There were various reasons for the clos- ing of the factory. Coal has been hard to get all winter, what has been secured has been of such an inferior quality that regu- lar heat with which to make good glass could not be maintained and over above it all the price has been so high that the Bellefonte factory could not compete with others where low priced fuel is to be had ; especially when the glass it had to offer was also inferior, because of the poor coal. President John Knisely did everything in his power to keep the factory zoing, but when it finally came to bea losing propo- sition he decided it was better to close than to run the risk of losing all the men had worked so hard to save during the years since the factory started as a co-operative plant. While there is very litttle hope that the factory will resume again during this fire, the men who have already left have done so with the understanding that they will return at once, if sent for. If it remains ont of blast until next fall there is a danger of its never being put in again. Such an eventuality would be a'great loss to Belle- foute, and it should be averted if possible. If we are to lose the scale works in the spring, we cannot afford to lose the glass fac- tory also. In fact we don’t want to lose eith- er one of them, but the glass works will be easier to retain, since it is purely a Belle- fonte concern. The real underlying trouble with the fac- tory is that it has an old-fashioned pot fur- nace and has been operated at a great dis- advantage in product and price, when com- pared with the modern tank furnaces. While we have no authority for the state- ment it is quite probable that if Bellefonte business men want the well paid, liberal spending glass men here much longer it will be necessary for them to make some arrangement to help put in a tank at the Bellefonte factory within a year or so. eee QA eee PHILIPSBURG To HAVE ITs ELECTRIC STREET CARS AT LAST.—After many years of hopefulness and despondency Philips- burg now bids fair to bavean electric street car line in operation before many months. The business men of that town, headed by John G. Platt, James Passmore and O. L. Schoonover, bave taken the matter up and raised eno ugh money to buy the franchise of the old corporation, so that matters are assuming such: tangible form that unless some unforseen difficulty arises it will not be long until trolley cars are running on Presqueisle, Ninth, Laurel and Frontstreets and continuing out into the country as far as Hawk Run, Morrisdale, Munson and Winbuarne. : The company is selling 5 per cent. gold bonds with interest guaranteed from the date of receipt of subscriptions and already there are thirty-six subscribers. John G. Platt is the president; O. L. Sshoonover, vice-president; James Passmore, treasurer, and H. B. Hartewick, secretary. The board of directors includes O. L. Schoonover, C. H. Rowland, H. M. Hughes, James Passmore, Jacob Swires, George W. Haworth, J. H. Turnbach, C. E. Murray, A. J. Graham and John G. Platt. Those thue far interested are hopeful of the good effect the road will have on Phil- ipsburg business interests. It will bring a thickly populated district into quick access to the stores in that place and it is also ex- pected that many people now residing in the various mining settlements will move into the larger town, since they will beaf- forded a cheap and frequent means of trans- port to and from their work. reer A SURPRISE.—There are ninety-seven men at work at Lingle’s foundry and ma- chine shops in this place. Net one in ten of the WATCHMAN readers would have guessed that there were more than twenty- five or thirty. Here is an indusiry that has belonged to Bellefonte so long that it has always been acoepted as part {of the regular order of things, but since it has passed into the sole ownership of Mr. J. H. Lingle it has grown into such proportions that it must be given a new place in our industrial rating. The growth has gone on so quietly that few peo- ple are aware of the scale upon which the plant is working. Every department is being run to its capacity ; especially so the foundry, where tons and tons of castings are being made for the Pennsylvania rail- road shops at Altoona. The machine shop, which has lately heen equipped with several of the finest lathes made and other modern machines. as well as its own electric lighting plant, is now about as complete as any shop outside the great ones in Philadelphia and Pittsburg. There bave been enlargements and exten- sions in every direction and just as soon as spring opens work is to be begun on anoth- er large addition to the foundry depart: ment. A new building is to be erected just west of the present foundry so as to practically double the out put there. Altogether the Lingle shops are about as busy a place as a WATCHMAN 1epresenta- tive has ‘vandered into for some time. There are nearly one hundred men on the rolls there, a fact which few people have knowledge of because Mr. Lingle has been too busy guiding the growth of his busi- ness to waste much time telling the public about it. ae Ql nes ——A meeting of the Aid society of the Bellefonte hospital will be held this after- noon at 4 o'clock at the hospital. ——Their eight children and thirteen grand children attended the thirty-seventh anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Twitmyer, at the parental home at Pleasant Gap, on the 1st.
