HALL, . { Chairman State Demo. Com. P. GRAY MEEK, Sec. Colombia Rejects Treaty for Isthmian Waterway. Plan to Avert Secession. The Panama canal treaty has been re- jected unanimously by the Columbian Con- gress. It was generally believed that the treaty would pass with some modifications, and this action by ‘the Senate has produced a tremendous sensation throughout the Isth- mus. : There is reason to suppose that the ma- jority of the members of the Senate regard the Spooner amendment to build a canal by the Nicaraguan route, if the Pana- ma route was rejected by Columbia, as a mere threat on the part of the United States. The Senators are convinced that the Nicar- aguan project is impossible and that the United States will again deal with Colom- ia. SEVERE BLOW TO PROSPECTORS. The rejection is a neavy blow to prop- erty owners who have been investing heavily on the prospects of the treaty being ratified. The question now is, what will become of Panama? The only consolation the Isthmians have is that the rest of the Re- public, with exchange at a very high figure and an upward tendency, will suffer a great deal more. : It appears that the government never ex- pected the treaty to be ratified. It was not supported as all in the Senate. General Lucio Valazoo, a veteran soldier and a distinguished army officer, has been appointed military commander of the De- partment of Panama. Itis thought that the fears caused by the rumors of a seces- sion movement on the Isthmus, may have influenced the appointment. Another Lancaster Tragedy, Mrs. John Burr Found Dying From ‘a“Bullet Wound. LANCASTER, August 16.—Mrs. John Burr, aged 30 years, was found late last night in a house on West Chestnut street, dying from a bullet wound in her breast. In a few minutes she expired. Her com- panion, George Brenner, was arrested’ on suspicion of having murdered her. He was released this morning upon the finding of the coroner’s jury that the woman had com- mitted suicide. District Astorney Groff, however, was not satisfied by this verdiot and states that he will keep Brenner under surveillance and investigate further. Mrs. Burr was known also as Lillie Nary, passing as the wife of a bill poster, now with the Welsh Bros.’ circus. Brenner is an iron worker and lives in that city with his wife and children. Brenner claimed that he was sleeping beside Mrs. Burr, who was fully dressed, when a pistol shot in the hotel woke him. He found her sitting in bed crying shat she had shot herself. Arising, he said he hastily dressed, shoved the revolver which he found in the bed into his pocket and then gave the alarm. The revolver was found in his possession. His shirt front was bloodstained. The revolver belonged $0 Mrs. Burr and it is said she frequently threatened suicide. Want a Bigger Divvy. Colombians Think that Uncle 8am is an Easy Graft and they Will Ask for More. CoLoMBIA, Aug. 17.—The rejection of the canal treaty by the Colombian Senate has produced a tremendous sensation on the Isthmus. It was generally believed that the treaty would pass, with some modifications. - There is good reason to suppose that a majority of the members of the Senate re- gard the Spooner amendment to build a canal by the Nicaraguan route, if the Panama route was rejected by Colombia, as a mere threat on the part of the United States. the United States will. again .deal with Colombia. The rejection is a heavy blow to property owners here, who have been investing heavily on the prospects of the treaty be- ing ratified. 3.000 More Go In.

Whitehead, who live just across the street from the postoffice, and J. 8. Klein, who lives nexs door, heard the explosions and hurried to learn the case. Three of the robbers met them as they came into the street and forced them to go back to their homes, where they watched the robbers from the win- dows, but did not venture out until after they had gone. The 10bbers were not in a hurry, even after they were discovered, for they took their time. Gathered up their tools and leisurely walked to the railroad and soon disappeared. They left no clue.

SQ prt, THE PROBLEM ANSWERED.—Several weeks ago the WATCHMAN received the following catch question from W. A. Ker- lin, an old Centre countian, who has been a resident of Rudd, Iowa, for a number of years. Mr. Kerlin has furnished us with a great many such questions in the past few years and in this one he thought he had one that very few persons would be able to solve. In fact he even went so far as to assert that the solution in Prof. E. E. ‘White's complete arithmetic is wrong. The question as he gave it is as follows : 1 sold 50 Bu wheat for A and 60 Bu for B; re” ceiving $150.00 for both lots. A’s wheat is worth 20 per cent more than B’s. How much did each receive ? On July 21st we received a card from E. A. Kent, of Brooklyn, Pa., containing this solution. By the conditions of the question As wheat ex- celled in quality 20 per cent and B’s excelled in quantity 20 per cent. or what A gained in price B gained in quantity to equal his loss in price, hence each one would receive 24 of $150 or $75. A got $1.50 per bushel and B $1.25 per bushel. On July 22nd a card from J. H. Reif- snyder, at Millheim, stated that he was of the opinion that A and B each got $75. MR. KERLIN’S SOLUTION. After receiving these two solutions and inasmuch as Mr. Kerlin has raised a ques- tion as to the correctness of the solution in the arithmetic we publish his own for the investigation of our mathematically in- clined readers. You will observe that the 20 per centisin A's part of the $150. Now as it is a self evident truth if we increase a number by 20 per cent. or 1-5, we must decrease it by 1624 per cent. or 1-6, to bring it back to the original number again. Now sas the per cent is in A’s part only we must use: the 34 of 1-6 which equals 1-12. Now then 1-12 of $150.00 is $12.50 and $150.00 minus $12.50 leaves $137.50 which divided by 110 bushels gives us $1.25 or the common price of the wheat per bushel. A’s wheat being superior in quantity draws 20 per cent more per bushel which gives A $75.00 for his wheat and B gets $1.25 per bushel for his 60 bushels, or $75.00 also. Q. E.

Il I ll AARON WEAVER.—Heart failure caused the death of Aaron Weaver at his home in Aaronsburg, on Monday morning. De- ceased was born near that place December 10th, 1832, and lived to be one of the re- spected men of the community. He was married to Susan Krape and they had three children, Elmer, of Akron, Ohio; James, and Mrs. R. W. Mensch, of Aaronsburg. Mr. Weaver was a devoted member of the Lutheran church in which services were held yesterday morning and interment was made in the Lutheran cemetery there. I I I Miss CATHARINE DERSTINE—The death of Miss Catharine Derstine at her home on east Lamb street yesterday morning was most unexpected although she had not been well for several years. About four months ago she was stricken with paralysis and at’ the time was regarded as being critically: ill.“ She was taken to the hos- pital and after remaining there for four weeks was so much better that she was per- mitted to return home. She was far from well and yet she was able to be up and about her home. Thursday morning she seemed well as usual and had finished dressing herself preparatory to having breakfast when the little girl, who lived with her, noticed she was leaning for sap- port on a chair and quickly summoned her brother, Mr. William Derstine, who lives near by. He went immediately, but before he arrived there she passed away. Miss ‘“Cassie,’’ as she was known to the majority of the older residents of the town, was a most worthy and industrons woman. Until ill health prevented she supported herself by sewing and so capable, diligent and reliable was she that everyone respect- ed her and her friends-looked well to her comfort and care in her declining days. She was seventy years of age on the 17th of June and is survived by her three broth ers, Samuel, of Illinois; Wm. H., and John, of this place. Funeral services will be held at the home of her brother William H. Derstine, on north Penn street, on Sat- urday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Her pastor, Rev. Dr. Holloway, of the Lutheran church of which she was an active member, as- sisted by the Rev. Ambrose Schmidt will conduct the services. THE DEATH OF I. V. GRAY.—For many years the foremost merchant of Philipsburg; then the victim of financial reverses. that preyed hard on him just at the time in life when the fruits of his earlier labors should have been a luxurious old age Isaac Vinton Gray passed from it all last Thursday. He bad been in broken health for some time, but no such sudden end was thought of. Justa while before his death he bad been mowing the lawn about his own home and the adjoining Baptist church. Daring the exercise he experienced a feeling of nausea and went to rest on his porch; ex- plaining to Mrs. Gray, who had just come out: “I feel so sick.” His appearance alarmed Mrs. Gray and their daughters so that they hurriedly summoned a physician, but before any of them could realize its presence death had claimed him. Heart failure was the cause. Deceased was born in Half-moon valley in 1835. He was a son of Isaac and Kath- arine Mattern Gray and a representative of the influential family of that name still so prominent in the ownership and life of the valley. He hegan the mercantile life as a boy in a store at Stormstown, prospering until the field became too small for his energies and about a quarter of a century ago he moved to Philipsburg; where he he- came associated with D. W. Holt and the late Maj. John A. Wolf under the firm name of Gray-Wolf & Co. They built and conducted the immense store at the corner of Front and Presqueisle streets in that place and grew until they were rated as one of the strongest mercantile establishments in Central Pennsylvania. The business finally came into the sole possession of Mr. Gray who was caught in the financial maelstrom that followed a few years later and everything he owned—saving his repu- tation for honesty, was swept from him. It was late in life, almost too late to be- gin anew but he was working his way up- ward again when the end came and as an illustration of the kind of character he was we republish the following incident from the Journal of his home town. Business men are not always successful and Mr. Gray, too, had reverses in business. Some years ago he failed and effected a settle- ment at 50 eents on the dollar. Several years later he called at the various places of busi- ness where he had accounts, saying, ‘I have come to pay the balance of my account.” ‘We have no balance against you, Mr. Gray ; your account with us is settled.” ‘‘Wasn’t paid in full was it?’ “No but the settle- ment was satisfactory to us.”” “I am here to pay the other 50 cents,’’ said Mr. Gray and he paid it. - The incident is given as showing. the sterling honesty of the man and his stead- fast, upright character. His later years, in fact ‘all of his life, were characterized by steadfast devotion to the Methodist church. Only the evening before his death he had attended prayer meeting and prayed during the service. It was his christian spirit that bore him up in the midst of his great reverses and his christain life that commanded the highes$ esteem of the people among whom he lived. Surviving him are his widow and their five children : Walter B., Victor, Florence, Marion and Virginia. Interment was made at Philipsburg on Saturday afternoon. ll I I THE VENERABLE SAMUEL MUSSER GONE.—Having been ill since last Febru ary from the effects of a stroke of paralysis the venerable Samuel Musser finally suc- cumbed and passed peacefully away at the home of his danghter, Mrs. Ella Reamy, in Tyrone, at 6 o'clock on Saturday even- ing. ; Mr. Musser was a native and almost life- long resident of Centre county. Only two years ago he left the old homestead in Ferguson township and went to Tyrone to, live with his daughter. He was the son of William and Catharine Musser and was horn in this county February 13th, 1830. All of his life was devoted to farming and he was a man of more than ordinary importance inthe community. He was an uncompromising Republican having been active <n his party: affairs; in his younger days. In the church he was raised a Lutheran. In fact he joined that church early in life, but as they had no place of worship near his home he later joined the Preshyterian church and re- mained an active member to the last. Mr. Musser’s widow, who was a daugh- ter of Michael and Barbaia Rider, with their ten children, survive as follows: Mrs. Ella Reamy, Dr. W. 8S. Musser, J. C. Musser and Mrs. E. E.
