Both of the priests have Mrs. EDMUND BLANCHARD.—Mrs. Mary Irvin Blanchard, wife of the late Edmund Blanchard, died at the Glen Springs Sanitarium, Watkins, N. XY, on last Friday afternoon alter a long illness of nervous prostration and heart trouble. Sev- eral years ago while spending the winter in Boston with her family Mrs. Blanchard witnessed and narrowly escaped a terrible explosion by which a number of persons were killed. The shock was a most serious one and from it dated her failing health. Last fall she went to the sanitarium at Watkins where she improved so steadily that she was able to come home in Febru- ary. Then she was so cheery and animat- ed that her friends were encouraged to be- lieve that her recovery was permanent but it was only temporary and she returned to the sanitarium. A week ago,Monday, she became so much worse that her family were summoned and with her when she passed away were her daughter Anna and her son Frederick. Mrs. Blanchard was Mary Fisher Irvin, youngest daughter of John Irvin, who in his life time was a prominent citizen of the town. He was for many years connected with the Howard iron works and it was due his and Judge Rhoads’ sagacious man- agement, as trustees, that the Thomas es- tate assumed its present proportions. Her mother was Anna Harris Linn, a daughter of the Rev. James Linn, and a granddaugh- ter of James Harris, one of the founders of the town. She was born 62 years ago at Nelson, in Kentucky, where her father, Harris Linn,and Mordecai Miller were then running an iron furnace. She was educat- ed at the old Jacksonville and Bellefonte academies and with the exception of a few years her entire life was spent in this place. In 1869 she was married to Edmund Blanch ard, senior member of the law firm of E. and E. M. Blanchard. Mr. Blanchard died in 1886 of heart disease and soon after Mrs. Blanchard disposed of the old homestead on High street and purchased a property on Linn street, where with her family she has since resided. Of Quaker and Presbyterian ancestry, she was pre-eminently a woman of that type, refined, quiet and forceful. En- dowed with an attractive personality and a very pleasant disposition she had rare social qualifications and was a great favor- ite with her many kin. Intelligent, and gifted with a good soprano voice she was a most helpful member of the societies to which she belonged. For many years there was not a charitable concert or enter- tainment given in the town without her assistance aud it was always most cheerful- ly accorded. She was an ardent worker in her own church and until her health failed always took an active interest in the music of the services. Surviving ber are her four children, Re- becca, Anna and Christina, at home, and Frederick, who now makes his home in Chicago where he is employed by the Illinois Steel Company,and her only sister, Mis. Joseph Bright, of Overbrook. Her body arrived in town on Saturday morning and was taken to the family home where funeral services were held on Mon- day morning at 11 o’clock. Rev. D. Laurie officiated and the pall bearers were Messrs Thos. Beaver, Wallace Gephart, Edward L. Hoy, John Blanchard, J. Harris Hoy and Edmund Blanchard. Davip TL Wetnaing af- ternoon about 4 o'clock David Klepper, a son of tbe late David Klepper, met with: au accident that resulted in his death a short time afterward. He was employed as a superintendent for a large electrical supply company in Philadelphia and was in pursuit of his work directing the in- stallation of an electrical plant in the Sequois silk mill in that city when the ac- cident occurred. Some heavy timbers were being hauled up from the outside and just when Mr. Klepper was coming out, after baving been inside directing his men the fastenings above broke, letting a heavy beam fall on him. It laid open his scalp from the crown of tne head to the base of his brain, crushed his shoulders and broke an arm. The injury was so serious that he died the next day. : Deceased was the second son of the late David Klepper, of Coleville, and was horn at that place 42 years ago. As a young man he learned the carpenter trade, but after going to Philadelphia some yeas ago he took up electricity and soon became so proficient that he was sent all over the country by his employers to direct the in- corporation of new plants. He wasa mem- ber of the Baptist church and the high. re- gard had for him by friends in his new home was attested by the large funeral and lavish floral tributes when his remains were laid away in Fernwood cemetery on Sunday afternoon. Surviving him are his wife and one son, his brothers Emanuel, John and Harry, all of Philadelphia, and his sisters Mrs. Her- man Robb and Mrs. Jacob Cole, of this place. ! fl I I ——Mrs. Michael Young passed away at ber home in Bush Addition, on Thursday morning, after an illness of three weeks with a complication of troubles.

The fire had gained considerable headway be- fore its discovery and it was only becanse it was confined by brick walls and a steel roof that a serious conflagration was avert. ed. The Haworth Bros. estimate their loss at $5,000, mostly from smoke and water. They will remodel the interior of their building. % RAMA SANA] ——There was a double Hungarian wed- ding celebrated in St. John’s Catholic church in this place Wednesday morning and if things were’nt done up in style then there is no use in the Vanderbilts and Astors setting a pace in matrimonial ar- rangements. Max Kerincic married Lucia Drodzian and Michael Krepsic married Teresa Sumkovie. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. Victor Zarek, of Clarence, whose linguistic accomplishments include seven different tongues. There was a groomsman and a bridesmaid for each couple. The gowns worn by the ladies were the most striking part of the whole event. The first bride was attired in white satin with tulle veil and carried a bouquet of red roses. Bride No. 2 wore a black wrapper, cerese trimmings, with green satin skirt and white veil. One of the bridesmaids wore a black satin waist, with green satin skirt while the other was more subdued in her choice of colors, being at- tired in a costume of brown. away to the other shore. The little fellow THE UNIVERSITY INN AT STATE CoL- LEGE IN ASHES.—The University Inn, the large resort hotel at State College, that was built by a stock company of State College aud Bellefonte people about eight years ago is in ruins and the people about the College are at their wit's end to know where to house the many guests who are expected at commeucement at that institn- tion next month. ; About 11 o'clock last Saturday morning fire was discovered in room 21 on the south- east corner of the third floor of the build- ing and it had evidently gained such head- way that nothing could be done. The room was occupied by a student from Pitts- burg named Philipps who had been in it only a few moments before. In less than 45 minutes from the time the first alarm was sounded the immense structure was a pile of charred timber and twisted irons scarcely noticeable in the blackened walls of the foundation. Its destruction was most complete and swift. There was a high wind prevailing at the time which carried showers of sparks in a north-easterly direction, right over the large college barn and the woods. Both were afire a number of times but by hard work the flames were stopped before serious damage was done. Had the wind been toward either end of the village the resnlts might have been far more disastrous. The Inn wasa four story frame structure containing fifty-two sleeping apartments, a number of private parlors, reception rooms, lavatories, bowling alley and pool room. Ib was built in 1895 at a cost of $26,500. Its history has been rather checkered since no management could make it pay without license and that priv- ilege at State College is forbidden by Act of Assembly. About a year ago county treasurer Phil. D. Foster bought the prop- erty for $11,500 and was building the busi- pess up immensely, when he was elected to office and rented it to T. Frank Kennedy. The Inn was crowded with guests at the time of the fire, most of whom were unable to save anything. There were about fifty students and a number of attachees of the College living there and few of them saved anything more than the clothes they wore. Even the servants in the house lost most of their belongings and among the most un- fortunate were a number of poor boys who were working at the Inn for their boarding while going to College. They have been compelled to go home. Mr. Foster’s loss is on the building and its contents. He has about $12,000 insur- ance. Mr. Kennedy, the proprietor, owned lit- tle else than his personal furnishings in the house, though the loss to him is consider- able and will not be covered by his $500 insurance. All of the boarders suffered losses rang- ing from a few dollars to several hundred. Two students who had come to State when the typhoid epidemic broke out at Cor- nell lost about $1,500 in furnishings and clothes. Miss Vallien, a stenographer living at the Inn, lost some very valuable furniture. Will Brouse, a son of .R. 8S. Brouse, of this place lost all of his clothing and a gold watch valued at $250 that was given him by his grandfather, the late William Harper. A. A. Miller and his family had apart- ments at the Inn and Mr. Miller was ill in bed at the time with nervous prostration. He was carried out, however, and all of his farniture saved. Five pianos went up in the flames, one of which belonged to M. C. Gephart, the dealer in this place. Arrangements are already on foot to build a new and even better hotel ab State, though definite plans are not made. The College authorities announce that while the fire has caused them temporary embar- rassment in the matter of arranging for commencement guests satisfactory accom- modations will be provided ere the pleas- ant June days arrive and they are insist- ing that no oneshould remain away for fear of not having quarters. ase) ——The Loek Haven Democratof Tues- day tells the following story of a rather pe- culiar robbing practice that has been car- ried on in the lower end of Nittany valley for years : “Ome year ago the farmers of Nittany valley were annoyed by some per- sous entering their farmyards at night and clipping and earrying away the fleeces of some of their best wool produeing sheep, and last week the miscreants renewed their peculiar kind of theft by entering H. M. Heard’s farmyard and clipping and carrying away the fleeces of seven of his flock. The work of clipping was very hurriedly and bungingly done and by comparison of the work done by local sheep shearers the farm- ers are about united in their opinion as to who the culprits are. The elip thus taken is supposed to find purchasers among that class of people who go about. and purchase old junk and the farmers are showing more than ‘‘farm like aotivity’’ in a determina- tion to capture the thieves, as well as to call a halt on the class of people who are will- ing to purchase wool from a class whom they should know do not produceit. Farm- ers keep up your vigil and do not hesitate to arrest and bring to justice the fellows who are so lost to common honesty that they are willing to take the chances of arrest and punishment by appropriating to their own use that which does not belong to them and thereby enable them to earn in one night more than the suspected parties are willing to garn in a whole week in day- time.” eee A) eee mc. ——C.
