SMALLPOX NEAR BELLEFONTE AGAIN. ~Last Saturday the WATCAMAN received a message from Jersey Shore to look out for a case of small-pox in a family named Fry, living near this place. As no such family lived very near Bellefonte more particular inquiry was made and it was learned that the men were employed at the lime kilns near here. Then they were easier to locate. It was found that several families of Frys live near Valley View, along the mountain above the Keystone operation of the American Lime and Stone Co. and the men all work at Keystone. Recently some of them had been visiting at Jersey Shore at the Crager home, in which the small-pox scourge that bas been raging in that place for several weeks, broke out. After they returned to their homes here, so the informant says, they wrote back to the Cragers saying that since com- ing home their children had become sick with the same trouble, but it was only called chicken-pox up here. The WATCHMAN got the above informa- tion to several of the physicians in Belie- fonte within a half hour after receiving it, but none of them knew anything about the Frys. Since then Mrs. S. R. Fry, Ben Fry, John Fry and two children have all been reported ill and the people of that, community have become so much exorcised that on Wednesday the other workmen at Keystone threatened to strike if the Frys were not sent home from ihe kilns. This brought matters to a focus and on Wednes- day afternoon the president of the Benner township school board directed Dr. Sehring to go up and make an investigation. He did so and upon his return that evening pronounced it small-poxX, hut of a very mild type. Yesterday morning two of Harry Young’s children were reported to be ill with the trouble. He is a neighbor of the Frys. There is no telling where the contagion will end as members of the infected family have been rnnning about promiscuously ever since it broke out. ree ee WILLIAM R. BRACHBILL KILLED BY THE CARS.—The singularly sad fatality that seems to hang over the family of the late J. C. Brachbill added another to its list of victims yesterday morning when Willian R., his eldest son expired in the hospital at Punxsutawney. : Three weeks ago yesterday he left his home here to enter the employe, as a brakeman on the Bells Gap division, of the P. R. R. Co. and was at work in the yard at Punxsutawney about 5 o’clock on Tues- day morning, when the accident occurred. In some way he was thrown under the wheels of his train and crushed so that he never recovered from the shock. The wheels passed over his left wrist and shoulder and severed the toes from both feet. He was taken to the hospital, but had lost so much blood that an operation was not deemed advisable at once. He seemed to grow stronger by Wednesday afternoon and his left arm was taken off at the shoulder. There was not enough vitality left, however, and he died yester- day morning. Will was a fine boy. Big, strong and promising it is sad indeed to think of his tragic end. He was the eldest son of Mrs. Margaret Brachbill and would have been 23 years old had he lived until June. His young wife, who was Mable Perdue, a daughter of Thomas Perdue, and their one child, a babe of only a few months, sur- vive with his mother and his brothers John and Fred and his sister Margaret. Immediately upon receipt of the tele- gram announcing the accident his wife and mother and uncle, W. R. Brachbill, went to him and brought his body home last even- ing at 8:16. Definite arrangements for the funeral will not be made until this morn- ing. ————— AA THOUGHT THEY WERE SHOT—'Squire 0. H. Nason, of Martha Furnace, had a lot of fun last Thursday night at the expense of two fellows, George and Jim. Knowing he had three barrels of cider locked up in his mill they decided to go after it and have a drink, but the ’Squire was ‘‘wise’’ aud just about the time they were lying over the barrels sucking the cider out through the bung holes a mighty black- snake cart whip in the 'Squires powerful arm swirled through the air and stung them. Both the fellows jumped and hollow- ed like Comanche Indians and they are still swearing that they were shot. The whip probably hurt as badly asa shot would have, bus if the Squire hadn’t whipped them out just when he did they would have been ‘‘shot’’ anyway. WELL WORTH A DOLLAR—Mrs. Lons- bery and Mrs. Seibert dropped in on Tues- day very full of enthusiasm over an enter- tainment which the Ladies’ Aid society and the primary workers of the Bellefonte Methodist church are going to give, jointly, on Thursday evening, March 26th. They wouldn’t say just exactly what the enter- tainment will be, but both of them pledged their words that it ‘‘will be well worth a dollar’? and won’t cost near that much. Whatever the entertainment is to be we are certain it will be worth going to, for both of the ladies are judges of those kind of things and when they say so it will be so. eee A een. ——Last Thursday the Hancock home at Runville was the scene of a very happy wedding. It was the occasion of the mar- riage of Miss Sara, one of the daughters, to John Furl and Rev. G. A. Sparks per- formed the ceremony.

Sufficient evidence was not forthcoming to hold them, how- ever, and they. were discharged by Squire Laporte.

White, supported by an excellent company may be put down as one of the classic events of the current theatrical season. Francesca should serve to delight the ad- mirers of the ricing young actor and make hosts of new friends all over the country this season and next. The details of the new production will prove an interesting study for the close observation of those who have been too deeply engrossed in the absorbing story to note the various features. The several pretty pageants and the strik- ing pictures in and out of the cathedral are worthy of special study. The characteris- tic music and the chants of the madrigal boys are also interesting details of this absolutely complete presentation. is wcond big fire within a perio! of four montis, ond. as if not content with the work of the first, started in to make the destruction complete, but it was stopped before the entire business portion of the place was reduced to ashes. The fire was discovered in the office quarter of C. J. Finkle’s store about 11:30 Sunday night. It burned furiously and entirely destroyed the building which was used as a store and dwelling by Mr. Finkle. From there the flames spread to C. A. Krape’s shoe store in which the post-office was located. It was entirely destroyed, though the office fixtures, stamps, mails and his entire stock of shoes were removed to a place of safety. Incendiarism is assigned as the cause and the people of Spring Mills are much ex- orcised over it because they believe that the fire in December was of the same origin. C. J. Finkle’s loss is estimated at $6,- 500, with $3,500 insurance on stock, $1,000 on building and $500 on household goods. C. A. Krape’s loss on building will be about $750, with $400 insurance. The dwelling house owned by Hon. Wm. Allison and occupied by John Brown and H. H. Rossman was on fire several times but was extinguished with no further damage than scorched weather-boarding. soe A SUPPOSED MURDERER CAPTURED AT SNxow SHOE.—Last Thursday evening a well dressed stranger was noticed loafing about the coke ovens along the Beech Creek railroad near Clarence. His actions were too peculiar and his clothes too good to indicate that he was a tramp and the suspicions of those who saw him began to be aroused. Finally they began to tally him up with Edward Meyers, the man who is believed to have killed Mrs. George Payne, at Trowbridge, Tioga county. and the more closely they compared the de- scription of the one with the stranger the more striking the likeness became. Everything tallied to such a nicety that W. B. Hull and W. R. Haines finally decided to arrist the fellow and take him back to Wellsboro for identification and, possibly, secure the $1,000 reward offered. Accordingly, on Friday morning, they vut him under arrest. He made no re- sistance,and stoutly asserted his innocence, but they took him to Wellsboro that day. Several people in that place were convinced that he was the man wanted and he was locked up in the county jail to await the arrival of Mr. Payne, the murdered wom- an’s husband. Later information is to the effect that the man was not the one wanted. While he tallied to a remarkable degree Mr. Payne said he was not Meyers. The fel- low gave his name as Frank Henry and said he was on his way to visit his sister at Reading when he was arrested. He was turned loose at once.

A delicious break- fast was served and the young people were the recipients of many useful and hand- some presents.
