ALEXANDER.— Mrs. Margaret Alexander, widow of Hon. Cyrus T. Alexander and one of the best known women of this place, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Harvey Yar- rington, in Richmond, Va., on Tuesday evening after a long illness. While her death was not so suddenly expected by her friends here, yet it was generally known that she was in a very precarious condition and that she had never fully recovered from an attack of pluero- puneuamonia which she had had early in the spring. In fact she had not heen well for years and the sudden death of her son more than two years ago, so prostrated her that she had been much of an invalid since. At that time she closed her home here and went South to reside with her daughter. Just one year ago she was here for a short visit preparatory to spending the summer in Illinois and Oklahoma. She was then so well and so like her former self that it seemed possible that she would recover, but the long journey was more than she was able to endure and she re- turned to Richmond not greatly benefited by the trip. Mrs. Alexander was as clever and bright a woman as ever lived in Bellefonte and had she devoted her time to literary or in- tellectual work she would no doubt have reached fame. She had a keen sense of bumor and a remarkable memory in addi- tion to her many other talents. She was well versed in st ate and national affairs and had a much better knowledge of poli- tics than the average politician of today. She was a grand-daughter of Fergus Potter who resided in Penns valley more than a century ago. Her father was Samuel Pot- ter and she was born at the family home near Boalsburg May 8th, 1837. Coming as she did from sturdy Scotch Irish ancestry her character was pre-eminently of that type, self reliant, strong and charitable In 1858, she was married to Cyrus T. Alexander who during his life time was one of the most prominent lawyers and politicians in this part of the State. He was a native of Mifflin county, but located in Bellefonte in 1859, when he was ad- mitted to the Centre county bar. For more than forty years the family home was in this place and the many sorrowing friends who attended the funeral services yesterday attested in a small way to the respect and love they had for Mrs. Alexander. She was most companionable and even to the last retained the pleasing personality which distinguished her girlhood. Mr. Alexander died in 1885 and of their three children only one is living Roberta, Mrs. Harvey Yarrington, of Richmond, Va., at whose bome she was accorded every devotion and care. Her son Samuel died in infancy and James W., the lawyer in September 1900. Of her father’s family she is survived by her sister,Sarah, Mrs. Danigl McBride, of Hobart, Oklahoma, and two brothers. James W., of Foreston, Ill., and William, of Pleasant Gap. Her body was brought here from Rich- mond on Thursday morning and taken to the Presbyterian church of which she had been a member since childbood. Funeral services were held there at 4 o’clock by the Rev. Dr. Laurie. The pall-bearers were Wm. P. Humes, Samuel Sheffer, 8. A. McQuistion, P. Gray Meek, D. F. Fortney and Isaac Underwood. Interment was made in the family plot in the Union cemetery. I f fl A PROMINENT MAN GONE.—One of the prominent and useful men of the lower end of the county was called away suddenly last Friday evening when Cornelius Stover, of Rebersburg, suffered a stroke of apoplexy that resulted fatally. He was 52 years and 16 days old and apparently iu the prime of a life of great helpfulness to those about him when, without a moment’s warning, the end came and he was called to his re- ward. Deceased was one of the sturdy men of Brush valley. His opinion was sought by those in need of advice and he always took an active part in the affairs of that commu- nity. He was a member of Rebersburg lodge of Odd Fellows aud his funeral, on Tuesday, was attended by his brothers in a body. March 6th, 1872, Mr. Stover was mar- ried to Jette Stover, only daughter of Jas. and Elizabeth Stover. She survives him with their three daughters, Mrs. George H. Smull and Miss Byrd, of Smullton, and Mrs. John Meyer, of Bellefonta. Rev. C. B. Hartman, of the Lutheran church, conducted funeral services at his late residence Tuesday morning and inter- ment was made in the Union cemetery. I I 1 MRs. MESH AC GRAHAM.—Mrs. Mesbac Graham passed away at her home on High street on Friday afternoon, having been ill only three weeks. Mrs. Graham was Sarah Elizabeth Wil- liams before her marriage and was born in this place in 1840. She was one of the town’s most highly respected colored women and had a large circle of friends who will be sorry to learn of her death. She is survived by the following chil- dren: Mrs. Geo. W. Freeman and George Graham, of Bellefonte; Melissa Graham and Mrs. John H. Riley, of Newark, N. J. She also leaves one brother, Isaac Wil- liams, of this place, and the following sis- ters: Mrs. Mary C. Harding, Mrs. Tama- zineMcDonald, Mrs. Julia Hawkins, of Bellefonte, and Marie Williams, of Ne- braska.

IE DE ——Miss Alberta Gallatin, the star who was to have appeared in ‘‘As You Like It,”” at Garman’s next week, became ill in Johnstown and had to cancel her hookings for that city and Tyrone. The reason Miss Gallatin did not come to Bellefonte was because of the High school commencement exercises. It was regarded as a bad time for such a high class attraction. i ee ——DLast Thursday morning a young country fellow came to town and proceed- ed to get very much under the influence. He was on parade until late in the afternoon when he decided to start home, but by some oversight crawled into the wrong buggy and started off. The horse was owned by Nathan Tierney, who lives near Jacksonville, and it started off home, reaching that place in safety, but justas it turned into the lane the wheel caught on a post and there was a wreck. Mr. Tier- ney’s son soon discovered it, but could’nt understand what was wrong, so he hitched up in another wagon and drove back to this place, where his father was still search- ing for his lost horse. Officer Mullen put the young countryman where he was not likely to make such another mistake. rr i —=The Bellefonte Academy will cele. brate the 100th anniversary of its building in 1905. What a pleasure it must be to the venerable principal emeritus Rev. Jas. P. Hughes and the active principal, Prof. Jas. R. Hughes, to realize that as the old institution approaches its centenary it is enjoying its era of greatest prosperity. All the plans so thoughtfally conceived by the elder Hughes seem to be hearing fruit through the untiring energy of the younng- er. More students, more instructors and more hopefulness for the fature pervades the Academy today than ever before and just now, when there is thought of Belle- fonte losing some of her industrial enter- prises, we would direct your attention to the Academy as a possible substitute for some of thers. Aside from the wholesome, elevating atmosphere that a flourishing in- stitution of learning spreads about it there is a business side that is worth consider- ing. There are about twenty-five boys from other places boarding at the Acad- emy now. Their expenses average $500 a year, every cent of which is left right here in Bellefonte. This amount repre- sents more than the spendings of families to the number of one hundred and twenty- five people. What would it amount to if there were one hundred boys at the Acad- emy? As a matter of fact it would be the equivalent of a factory employing one hundred hands. And it is possible to have even more than this if our people give the proper attention to it. COUNCIL IN SESSION.—If there was one reason more than another back of the elec- tion of the present council of the borough it was because our citizens had become so tired of the do nothing policy of the old body and the petty little fights and clashes that were keeping it from accomplishing anything. At the last election there was a complete change and, judging from recent developments, it cannot but come as a dis- appointment to the taxpayers. Council was expected to do something at the water works, todo something with Wa- ter street, to do something with the water rates. In fact, to get into a harmonious working organization and transact the peo- ple’s business as if it were their own. There is no reason why it should not be done and we call upon the membes, ere it is too late, to go ahead. It there is a reason why the members of council cannot unite on a plan then there is something underneath all this trouble that the public is not cognizant of and the WATCHMAN proposes to find it out and give it the publicity it should have. It has been repeatedly charged that there is crook- edness somewhere, but that is too drastic a word for the WATCHMAN to lay at the door of the men who govern the town. Itis talked openly on the streets that certain business men of the town ran council to suit their own purposes. However true these imputations may be they are alto- gether too terrible to even have birth in the thoughts of our people and it seems to us that council can’t afford to give the ap- pearance of credence to such gossip by per- mitting the breach that is opening in the council chamber to become so wide that all of the business the body was elected to look after will fall into it. At the meeting on Monday evenibg the following reports were made. The boiler at the water works was reported as having been tested by an expert and marked safe to run under one hundred pounds pres- sure. Various repairs to the streets and alleys. The Nuisance committee reported that it had looked into the condition of the McBride corner and condemned it, but added that the owners were not inclined to abate the nuisance. The solicitor re- ported the loss of the Bayard case and stated that he had moved for a new trial, argument on which is to be heard at the regular term of argument court in June. The chairman of the Street committee was instructed to receive bids for a retaining wall along Water street. Under the head of old business the Rey- nolds proposition to rent the old Phoenix mill power to the borough as a pumping station was taken up. Profs. Reber and Jackson, of State College, had measured the power and reported that there- are 65- horse power there now and if certain re- pairs are made it can be increased to 70- horse power. Then other propositions were made : One, to take the Gerberich mill and power ; another, to investigate the possibilities of MoBride’s gap. After con- siderable discussion this matter was re- ferred to the Water improvement commit- tee for investigation. The bids for supplying coal to the bor- ough were to have been opened but coun: cil clashed on this matter and it was held over for two weeksagain. When the body decided to ask for bids it instructed the Water committee to present them to conn- cil for action, yet Monday night the same body voted to place the matter of award- ing the coal contracts in the hands of the water committee. Just what this action in reversing itself so promptly means is not clear to the public, but there cannot but be a strong suspicion that some ulterior purpose was to be served. There was an- other motion made and carried to carry over the opening of the bids until the next meeting. 1!

The committee already has more than one hun- dred and fifty names and the list is still growing. : Persons desiring particulars of the ar- rangements for the day of gathering togeth- er of old friends and acquaintances of Cen- tre county whe now live in Philadelphia should address either Dr. Roland G. Curtin, 22 South 18th St. Mr. Ira D. Garman, 101 South 11th St. R. M. Magee Esq. 3619 Powelton Ave. or Dr. 8. Gray Mattern, 1015 North 44th St. The Centre countians in Blair county and Pittsburg and Allegheny have already formed reunion associations and find much pleasure in their annual meeting, as will doubtless be the case with this Philadel- phia effort. A His HEAD Cur OFF.—A horrible acei- dent happened on Herritt’s lumber road along Eddy Lick run, above Beech Creek, in which Alfred Gibbon, of Unityville, Columbia county, met bis death. As there were no witnesses to the accident it is not known exactly how it did occur, but it is presumed that the unfortunate man fell off the front truck of a lumber car on which he was riding in such a way that the wheels ran over his neck, completely severing his ‘head. He was 38 years old and leaves a widow and four children. d———— esas ——Gregg post, No. 95, will hold memorial services at Meyers cemetery up Buffalo Run on Sunday, May 24th, at 3 o’clock p. m.
