DEATH OF MRs. 8S. A.§ BREW.—The
death of Mrs. Catharine Brew, widow of
the late S. Austin Brew, which occurred
in St. Luke’s hospital, in New York City,
on Tuesday morning, was most unexpected
to her friends here. Three weeks previous
she entered the hospital to have an opera-
tion performed, but was so well that she
was able to be out of doors so long as the
weather was pleasant and almost to the lass
her physicians were hopeful of her recovery
without an operation. The first operation
was performed on Monday of last week and
was found to be a much more serious one
than was anticipated. From the effects of
it she never fully recovered consciousness
and a second one was resorted to in the en-
deavor to save her life.
Mrs. Brew was born in Wilkes-barre De-
cember 23rd, 1839, and her maiden name
was Catharine Patton. About thirty-three
years ago she was married to Mr. S. A.
Brew, of this place, and for more than
twenty years was an honored resident of
Bellefonte. Since Mr. Brew’s death, in
June, 1892, she has made her home with
her son Thomas in Mahonoy City and Haz-
leton. She was a woman of splendid in-
tegrity and resolute character, but was so
diffident in her manner that only those who
were more intimately associated with her
fully comprehended the abounding gener-
osity and force of her life She was a most
devout church woman. From childhood
she had been a member of the Episcopal
church and as long as she was able she at-
tended the services regularly and was keen
ly interested in its work and missions.
Surviving her are her own two sons Wil-
liam, of New York, and Thomas, of Hazle-
ton, whose kindness and devotion to her
were way beyond the ordinary,and her has-
band’s four children by his former marriage
C. C. Brew, of Toledo, O., George T., of
Roncevert, W. Va., Harry, of Pittsburg,
and Mrs. Harry Fenlon, of this place. Of
her father’s family one brother William, of
Wilkesharre, aud two sisters, Mis. Jennie
Shoemaker, of Wilkesbarre, and Mrs. Eliza
Woodring, of Reynoldsville, are living.
Her body was brought here on Saturday
morning and taken to the home of T. B.
Hamilton on Howard street. Funeral serv-
ices were held in St. John’s Episcopal
church on Sabbath afternoon at 3 o’clock,
with the rector, Rev. George I. Brown, of-
ficiating. The pallbearers were C. F. and
Joseph L. Montgomery, Frank P. Blair, J.
M. Shugert, James H. Potter and Harry
Keller and interment was made in the fam-
ily plot in the Union cemetery.

this place, at 8 o'clock on Sunday evening.
He had suffered for a long time with
Bright's disease.
Mr. Beck came to Bellefonte several years
ago from St. Johnsbury, V§., and had been
one of the most skilled of the employees of
the Standard scale works up until the time
when his health forced his retirement from
active work. He was a man of very retir-
ing disposition, genteel, affable and devot-
ed to his home and family. He was a con-
sistent member of the Presbyterian church,
a Mason and an Odd Fellow.
Surviving him are his widow, two daugh-
ters and three sons. The body was taken
to Wilkinsburg for burial yesterday.

charge of him.
Miss LuLu WALTERS.—The unexpected
death from black jaundice of Lulu Walters,
daughter of Scott Walters, which occurred
Thursday, April second, at her home near
Milesburg, seems unusually sad as she was
a member of the Senior class of the High
school and had taken her examination
there in algebra on Monday. She has not
en joyed good health for some time but
nothing serious was apprehended as it was
apparently only the indisposition and
fatigue so often incident to close applica-
tion and the overwork of the modern stu-
dents life. She was a very ambitious and
studious girl and so desirous of making the
most of her few remaining school days that
she worked on oblivious to the indispo-
sition which suddenly developed a serious
and fatal aspect,
She was a member of the Presbyterian
church and in this and her home life was as
ofnsistent and faithful as in the school life
where her associates so deeply regret her
death.

A SAD DEATH.—Harry Shay, of Potts-
ville, a brother of Miss Margaret Shay, the
well known nurse, died at the home of

suffering for some time with consumption,
which he contracted in the Philippines
while there as a soldier and teacher for
three years and came here on last Thursday
to visit his sister with the hope that a stay
among the mountains would be beneficial.
He was only twenty years of age and his
death was an unusually sad one, for he was
so determined to live and made such a
desperate fight to get well. His father and
mother reside in Pottsville and his body
was taken home to them on Thursday
morning for interment.

SoLD SOME OF THEIR PATENTS.—The
International Electric Co., of this place,
an organization formed several years ago
to sapport Edward McGarvey and Guy
Lion in the experimental work they had
begun on an electrical scale recording in-
vention, has abont closed a deal with the
Central Electric Co., of Ohio, whereby the
latter gains control’ of fourteen of the val-
uable patents of the former.
The solicitor, secretary and electrician of
the Ohio corporation are in town now and
yesterday the deal was practically closed.
While it is not known what the exact
amount of the consideration is there are
rumors to the effect that the local com-
pany receives $60,000 for their patents.
The patents they have assigned are the
ones covering the invention to weigh ob-
jects passing rapidly over the platform of a
scale by means of an electric vibrator indi-
cator. oi
The invention is the product of Edward
McGarvey, the young electrician of this
| place, and Guy Linn, whose experience as a
scale worker gave him a knowledge of scale
mechanisin. When they started working
on it everyone was skeptical. Well, not
everyone, for a few gentlemen got together,
and financed them and now they are to enjoy
the first fruits of success. In the company
are Edward McGarvey, Guy Linn, Ellis
L. Orvis, Hugh 8. Taylor, R. B. Taylor,
Sidney Krumine, James Aikens, Col. J. L.
Spanglerand the estate of John Walsh.
The Internation al Electric company has
not disposed of all of its patents by any
means and the work on several more im-
portant inventions will be pushed with re-
newed vigor.

THE CREAMERY AT SALONA BURNED.
—The creamery at Salona, owned and op-
erated by a stock company in which many
Nittany valley farmers were interested, was
destroyed by fire last Friday night entail-
ing a loss of about $4,000; only partially
covered by insurance. ”
The fire broke out about 11:45 and as
the building was a light frame one it burn-
ed rapidly. The flames destroyed Samuel
Shaffer’s adjoining black-smith shop, caus-
ing a loss of $300 for him.
The Salona creamery was a very com-
plete one. Fortunately there was not much
of a stock of butter on band at the time,
but a large number of eggs were burn-
ed.
B. F. Long, the manager of the property,
is busy making arrang ements for rebuild-
ing and already has a temporary butter-
making place in operation. The new cream
ery will not be put on the same site, but
some distance south on Water street.

WHO OUR NEW MINISTER Is.—The
Tyrone Herald has the following compli-
mentary things to say of the new minister
who comes to serve the Methodists in this
place.
Rev. John A. Wood Jr.. who served the
First M. E. church of Ty rone as pastor the
past three years, has heen assigned to the
church at Bellefonte. Mr. Wood is not
only an earnest and faithful minister of the
gospel, but is very practical in his pulpit
deliver ances; yet he is by nature kindly
and no matter how straight his arrow is
aimed at a prevalent sin his words and
manner of speech are softened with that
kindly spirit that counts for good. The
good wishes of the people of Tyrone, regard-
less of church affiliation, go with him and
his most estima ble wife to their new field
of labor. k

The Mallory & Taylor studio has gained a

as all of the mechanical departments have

THE WORKMEN AT STATE COLLEGE

ful to the president, Dr. Geo. W. Atherton,

We, the employees of The Pennsylvania
State College wish to express our thanks to
Dr. Atherton and Mr. W. C. Patterson for
the interest they have manifested in behalf
of the employees of the College.
On January 1st, 1903, Mr. Patterson gave
the men a raise of 10 cents per day, subject
to Dr. Atherton’s approval, he being away
at that time. We have just received notice
that we will receive another raise of 10 cents
per day to take effect April 1st, 1903. The
raise in both cases comes as a great surprise
to the men and at a very opportune time, as
living is very high now. In fact coal and
rent is sky high.

—On Tuesday night officer John
Brendel of the Lock Haven police force
noticed a suspicious looking trio of men
about the streets of that place. When he
tried to scatter them the larger one drew a
revolver on him and he retreated. Later,
reinforced by another officer, he went to
arrest them and was fired on at close range.
Then he pulled his gun and returned the
shots with the result that he hit his vie-
tim twice; once in the arm and again in
the breast, wounding him so badly that he
rolled down an embankment and half into
the river. Later he was taken to the hos-
pital where his wounds were dressed and
not being found to be serious he was then
taken to jail.

Marguerite in Porter J. White’s production

blin’s opera house at Jackson, Michigan,
says this of her work : “I wish to advise
you that the production of ‘Faust’ as
given by Miss Olga Verne and her excel-
lent company, and his electric effects,
“which are more than excellent,” pleased
my patrons so well that the words of praise
greet us from all my patrons. I would be
pleased to play Porter J. White's Faust
Co. once each year.”’
