Beckwith, a prominent citizen of Taylor township, was «drowned in a little stream of water that flows by his home. "The cir- * | cumstances of the accident are very sad. “Mr. Beckwith was suffering with an at- tack of typhoid fever at the time. His condition had been so serious: that he couldn’s even be told of the death and burial on’ Sunday of ‘his friend, George McGrady, who died of the same disease. Monday night he seemed better and Mrs. Beckwith; who-was- with him; was very much encouraged by. his condition. But he became seized with a desire to take a bath in the cooling waters of the stream near their home. When he told his wife of it she remonstrated with him, saying it would never do. The matter was appar- ently dropped then and towards morning he said he felt so much better that he thought he could sleep and suggested that Mrs. Beckwith lie down on a couch in the room and take a little nap. Shedid it, but upon awaking only a few moments later she was borrified to find her husband gone. The family was aroused at once and a search organized, but it was some time before a trio of neighbors, George M. Walk, Daniel Hardy and A. C. Williams, discovered -his. dead. body.in the stream. under a bridge tbat crosses it near his home. It was then before 7 o'clock in the morning. He bad nothing on but his shirt and stockings and was lying crosswise in the stream in about three feet of water, with his back and the top of his head on the surface, bis arms and feet downward as if he had been walking and fell forward. Mr. Williams jumped down into the wa- ter and fastened a line about the body by which it was pulled around the north abutment and carried to the home he had left only a short time before. While some will say ‘‘it was suicide’ there is very little ground for such a con- jecture. Mr. Beckwith was well off finan- cially, his family relations were extremely pleasant, he occupied an honorable posi- tion in his community and was a working member of the church of which he was a trustee and treasurer of the building com- mittee. In fact there is nothing to give credence to a suicide theory and every- thing to encourage the belief that in the delirium of the fever he thought a bath in the cool water of that stream would relieve him. In fact when a boy he had the fever in the West and by eluding his father and mother got into a stream. They thought, of course,it would kill him, but he recovered and ever since he had re- called the incident. With this in his mind he probably went to try it again and died from exhaustion, for when taken out there was not a particle of water in his body. John W. Beckwith was a son of Edward and Harriet Beckwith, both of whom are yet living in Taylor township and are about 80 years old. He was born in this county 53 years ago. His first marriage to a Miss Henderson, was blessed with ove child, Mrs. Allen Hoover, of Martha. By his second marriage, to Miss Cbristena Herdsman, a born. They are Jobn T. F. Beckwith and Mrs. Ella Price, wife of Willis Price. His brothers Vinton and Foster, of Taylor Twp., and Lloyd and Joseph in Cambria county, also survive. luterment was made yesterday morning’ at 10 o’clock, after services had been held | at his late home. ae A) eet A VERY ACCEPTABLE DONATION.—Re- cently a party of ladies in Bellefonte effect- ed an informal organization to make a com- bination donation to the hospital. They decided to make gowns for the patients and so enthusiastically did they enter into the spirit of the work that the last of a lot of fifty have just been sent to the institu- tion. They did the sewing at times when there was no conflict with other duties and while none of them feel that they have made much of a sacrifice in doing it the gift is one that the hospital greatly appreciates and many a poor patient will have reason to feel grateful for. Those who were in the party of sewers were Mesdames C. F. Mont- gomery, W.F. Reeder, W. F. Reynolds, D. H. Hastings, Ross Hickok, Rankin, E H. Richard, Jos. Montgomery, L. T. Mun- son, Howard Lingle, Tom Shoemaker, I. Mitchell, Henry Quigley, Mary Meek, H. E. Fenlon, Mary Blanchard, Mary Butts, J. M. Dale, Jobnson, E. Natt, A.

The furnishing is in light oak and covers casements for 297 boxes, a window for the carriers, ‘general delivery, money orders, stamps and Registers. The last four are side-by-side, giving the clerks inside obser- vation of all of them at the same time. To the front of the office is a small apart ment Set aside for the postmaster’s private use. The boxes are locked with Yale combination locks, thus doing away with the necessity for keys. The effect of the fixtures is very pleasing, though the amount of space left for patrons of the office is noticeably smaller than it wagsin the old quarters. However that may not ocanse much inconvenience at any other times than on Sunday morning, when there is no delivery and a large crowd gathers to lift the mail personally. son and a daughter were ——A new band was organized in Mill- heim on Tuesday evening. : neediest ——Mrs. Laura Williams, of Port Matil- da, was admitted to the Bellefonte hospital on Wednesday morning. ——After the business men’s picnic comes the great Centre county fair, then fall and another summer will have sped bye. meen fA Ap en — ——Mrs. Julia Shope, who died of old age at her home in Boggs Twp., was buried in the Advent cemetery on Sunday. ee ——C.

THE PENNSYLVANIA, Fisn Coxmssiox HERE. —Yesterday six distinguished gen- tlemen representing the Fish Commission of the Commonwealth were in Bellefonte to formally receive title ‘to ' the property which they bad ‘previously selected as a gite for the new ‘hatohery for brook trout, which was provided for at the recent ses- sion of the Legislature. The ceremonial attending the transfer was entirely impromptu, but it proved 80 pleasant that, it will long be remembered as quite an innovation in the official lives of the gentlemen who have in charge the work of keeping the streams.and lakes of Penn: sylvania stocked with fish. i pe The visitors were Hon. w. E. Meehan, “of Harrisburg, Fish Commissioner of Penn- sylvania; Hon. Henry C. Cox, of Wellsboro; Hon. Andiew R. Whitaker, of Pheenix- ville; Hon. Charles L. Miller, of Altoona '; and Maj. Barton D. Evans, of Harrisburg ; who is secretary ‘of the.Commission. After dinner at the Bush house they. were taken in carriages, headed by a band, to the court house, where a fine audience had as- gsembled to witness the transfer. Judge Love presided at the meeting and after briefly recounting the incidents. leading up to the final location of the hatchery at this place he turned over the deeds to the prop- erty to Commissioner Meehan. The latter then accepted them in ‘the name of the Commonwealth and for the use of the fish commission; highly complimenting the public spiritedness of our community in raising so quickly the funds needed to pur- chase the site for the hatchery. In the course of his remarks Commissioner Meeban stated that with the acquisition of the new hatchery here they hope to. increase the annual output of trout fry from four to ten million. At the conclusion of his remarks secretary Evans read a .resolution which the Commissioners adopted yesterday morning in which they formally thanked the citizens of Centre and adjacent counties for their interest in the work of fish propagation and also decided to name the new hatchery, the Bellefonie Hatchery. Immediately after this ceremony the local committee, with a few invited guests, took the visitors for a drive out to the site of! the hatchery near Pleasant Gap and went from there to the Nittany Country clab, where a chicken and waffle supper was served last evening. The committee that raised the funds and arranged for the entertainment comprised Hon. John G. Love, Col. W. F. Reeder, Joseph L. Montgomery, Jno. M. Shugert, Hard P. Harris, Jno. L. Knisely, T. H. Harter, S.. Kline Woodring, Robert L. Montgomery, Jos. Rightoour, James C. Furst and Geo. R R! ‘Meek. The guests for the drive and supper were Hon, A: O. Furst, Chas. :M. McCurdy, Hon. Fred Kurtz; 'E. C. Tuten, John P. Harris, Capt. H. 8 Taylor, 'W. H. Kon Jr. and Ww. Harrison ‘Walker. wal tol A saya S “WiLL BE GRANDER THis YEAR THAN '° | EvER.~At the meeting of the Centre-and Clinton counties Business Men’s Pienic association, which was held at the Brocker- hoff house Wednesday afternoon, enongh developed to warrant the statement that the picnic to be held at Hecla park on the 19th inst. will be.on a far larger scale than ever before. The gentlemen present at the meeting were P. P. Rittman, G. W. A. MacDonald, Geo. W.- Mason, James H. Rothrock, Frank Kinsloe, D. I. McNaul, Torrence Shearer and R. H. Stewart, of Lock Haven; T. J.

C, Mingle, Jno. I. Olewine, Jno. M. Bullock, Francis Speer, Roger T. Bayard and Geo. R. Meek, of Bellefonte. After vice president Rittman bad called the meeting to order the acting secretary, J. Will Conley read the minutes of the meesing in Lock Haven. They were ap- proved, after which the committees made their report. ; The only matters in which the public are interested are the entertainments that are to be provided for them and from pres- ent indication they will be many. First of all the Harrisburg and Williamsport state league base ball teams will play at the park, there will be ranning races for horses, fine fire works, a minstrel show and cake walk, the Germania orchestra of Lock Haven and the Bellefonte orchestra will play for dancing and two bands will be present at the park. All of the minor amusements of former years have been abandoned in order that more pretentious ones might be secured. There is a possi- bility of the Chamberlain Bros. circus ex- hibiting at the park that day and you need not be surprised if when the heralds adver- tising the picnic come out they contain the name of Carrie Nation, as the orator of the day. She isin Pennsylvania now and the committee hopes to secure the notorious Kansan: for an address at the park. T+is only fait to the public to state that all of these entertainments will be free, except the ball game and the cirous—it it is accepted as an attraction by the commit- tee. Such a larg guarantee has to be paid to these league ball teams that an admis- gion of 25cts is necessary to defray that extraordinary expense, so provide yourself accordingly and don’t grumble about it when you get to the pienic. ——A man who bad been taken to sleep in the garres in Runkle’s hotel at Centre Hall, one night last week, went to hoist the window to get a little air.

It was H. S. Emerick, of Chicago. He hadn’t been here for thirty-two years and. it was no wonder every thing looked changed but ‘the hills. Mr. Emerick is one of the Nittany valley family of that name and once worked in Brown & Cook’s store in this place. In fact they were the primary cause of his leaving this country, for in the Lincoln campaign they told him that if he would vote for Lincoln they would continue to have work for him. If not they could not. tell what the consequences would be. It is needless to say that Mr. Emerick did not vote for Lincoln, so the day after the election he discharged him- self and went West and from his apparently prosperous appearance he has had no Treason to regret it. —C, D.
