injury. Mr. Al}ison will be taken to the

soon as he can he gotten ready for travel-

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.

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.

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.

——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.

—— 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.

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.

-———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.

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.

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.
