TEE HON. SAMUEL BRUGGER.—The
Hon. Samuel Brugger, one of the best
known men in Centre county, passed away
at his home at Unionville on Monday af-
ternoon, from heart failure, superinduced
by pleura-pneamonia. Only last week he
had been in Clearfield consulting a special-
ist, but returned on Thursday suffering
from a bad cold, which developed into
pneumonia, causing his death. With the
passing away of the late Wm. P. Fisher
and Mr. Brugger the vicinity of Unionville
has lost two of the men who through years
made much for the singularly prominent
position it hasalways held in the personnel
of the County. They were types of strong,
useful, progressive citizenship and stood
fearlessly for the right in all things.
Samuel was the third of the twelve chil-
dren born to Gabriel and Catharine Arnold
Brugger. His father had imigrated from
Veltheim, Switzerland, when only a child
and located with his parents near Grubb’s
church, in Union county. After his mar-
riage to Catharine Arnold he moved to the
old Stone Valley church, in Northumber-
land county, where Samuel was born, Au-
gust 26th, 1830. He spent his early life
there and on a small farm near Mt. Pleas-
ant, in Union county, to which his parents
moved later. The public school system
was not very extensive in those days and
thie best he could get was three months in
the year and sometimes not even that.
When only ten years he was put out to
work for his board and clothing and after
three years was taken back home to be sent
to a private school for two months in the
year.
Ast the age of sixteen he taught a term of
school in Greenwood township, Juniata
county, which was the beginning of a long
career as a sehool master. At intervals he
attended Dickinson Seminary and other
schools and for three months clerked in
George Jack’s general store at Boalsburg
for $5 per month. Leaving there he cooked
in a lumber camp for his board the follow-
ing winter, then taught a term of school at
Grahamton. With the money he had
saved he went back to Dickinson Seminary,
then again taught near Mt. Pleasant and
Unionville, this county. In 1851 he trav-
eled on foot through Pennyslvania, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Iilinois and Ohio, study-
ing nature and working at times to replen-
ish his exchequer. Upon his return he
taught until 1853, when he went to Joshua
Hoope’s school for boys in West Chester.
He returned from that institution in time to
take a position as chainman on the survey
of the Bald Eagle valley railroad and there-
after devoted most of his time to engineer-
ing, being very prominent in the early
railroad construction and later as a survey-
or of wild lands.
Feb. 14th, 1856, he married Margaret
Peters, who survives him with the follow-
ing children : Walter M., of Clearfield;
Mrs. W. F. Becker, of Harrisburg; Mrs.
J. C. Rumberger, of Bellefonte; Joseph, on
the farm at home, John, a traveling sales-
man; and Elizabeth C., who is employed
in the C. R. R. of Pa. freight office in this
place.
His connection with the building of the
Bald Eagle valley railroad dates from the
driving of the first stake in October, 1856,
to its completion, in 1864. His experience
and proficiency as a constructing engineer
made him prominent in the work and be
had various commissions for the Sterling
Mountain, Clarion River, Western Mary-
land, Boston, Hartford and Erie, Pennsyl-
vania and Western,Susquebanna and South-
western railroads. For a long time he was
resident engineer for the Western Mary-
land.
After his retirement from active work
he settled down in the fine home he had
built on the outskirts of Unionville to the
enjoyment of life. His work as an engi-
neer had awakened an interest in botany
in him and he found much pleasure in na-
ture study and fruit growing; occasionally
going off into the mountains for just a lit-
tle t aste of his former ragged life as a sar-
veyor.
Politically he was a Democrat, but his
politics was always from principle and
never animated by a desire for spoils,
though he was once prevailed upon to per-
mit his election as county surveyor. His
enthusiam in party matters found a quiet-
ing influence in his deep seated devotion to
the Methodist church, where he was regu-
lar in attendance and a class meeting lead-
er.
Mr. Brugger was an amiable, polished
gentleman. He was not of the effervescent
sort, but felt and thought deeply on sub-
ts which his rare mind was capable of
asping. He was fond of friends and of
his home and his courtly hospitality did
much to make his place at Unionville
noted as being one of the pleasantest in
this county.
Inserment was made yesterday afternoon
in the Upper Union cemetery.
Carr. Hpoey Re Henry
Stevens passed away at his home at Center
Line, in Half-moon valley, on Wednesday
evening at the age of about 80 years. He
had been suffering for several weeks with
kidney troubles and paralysis.
Capt. Stevens was a very prominent
farmer in that locality, he was a veteran
of the Mexican war and was the first cap-
tain of Co. E, 45th P.V. I. during the
Civil war and it was at the recent reunion
of the company that he made his last pub-
lic appearance.
~ Mrs. Stevens died about ten years ago,
but their four children survive.
He was a member of the Lutheran
church and will be buried at Gatesburg
this morning at 10 o’slock.
~The infant son of Mr. and Mrs,
George Darr died at their home in Cole-
ville on Sunday morning.
Mes. LYDIA YERGER.—After a long
period of illness during which she suffered
intense agony Mrs. Lydia Yerger, reliot of
Harry Yerger, passed away in the Belle-
fonte hospital, on Sunday evening. On
Wednesday of last week she underwent an
operation for cancer of the liver and then
it was discovered that the disease had pro-
gressed too far to be removed and,in conse-
quence, very little hope was held out for
the friends. She grew steadily worse un-
til Sunday night, when death relieved her
from further affliction.
Mrs. Yerger was born at Wilford, Bucks
county, December 25th, 1839. In Septem-
ber, 1862, she married the late Harry Yer-
ger and a few years later moved to Belle-
fonte, which bas been her home ever since.
She was a woman of mild temperment, de-
voted to her home and as long as she was
able spent all her energy for her family and
her chuich, the Lutheran, to which she
was devoted.
Surviving her are her children Howard
E., of Patton; A. Oscar, of Howard ; Elmer,
of Morrisonville, Bucks county; Mrs. I.
Lloyd Rimert, of Howard, and Mary R.,
at home.
Interment was made in the Union ceme-
tery on Wednesday afternoon.
I I ll
Miss JENNIE STOVER.—The spirit of
Miss Jennie Stover took on immortality
last Saturday afternoon and winged its way
to the great white throne, where in sweet-
ness and purity it will rest, rest forever.
She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Fall Stover, of North Water street and
her life bad been full of promise until
about a year ago, when consumption de-
veloped and made an invalid of her.
She was born at Unionville May 28th,
1877, and spent her girlhood there. Later
she went to Tyrone and was employed for
a time in the art studio of H. A. Gripp.
After the family’s removal to this place
she made her home here where she came to
be admired by all who knew her, for the
lovable disposition and amiable character
she possessed. When strong enough she
was actively interested in the Methodist
church and her last moments were soothed
and sustained by an unfaltering trust in
her Jesus.
Her parents and the following sisters and
brothers survive her : Nora, Curtis, Alice,
Cameron, Scott and John.
Brief funeral services were conducted at
1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon by the Rev.
John Wood, of the Methodist church, after
which the body was taken to Unionville for
burial in the family plot there.

A DRUNKEN DAGO’'S DASTARDLY
Act.—Dominic Constance is a young
Italian about 23 years of age who has been
employed about the Stevens quarries up
Buffalo run, for long enough time to pick
up a good bit of the lan guage and some of
the very bad habits of this country.
On Sunday he was drunk and went up
onto the Buffalo run road to the home of
David Rothrock, where he was well known
because of his frequent calls on the family
for supplies. During these visits he had
become enamored of one of the danghters of
the family, bus his attentions being objec-
tionahle he was told to keep away.
In his drunken condition, however, he
heeded nothing and marched right up to
the house, demanding of Mr. Rothrock,
who was standing out in the yard, that he
be permitted to see the girl. Mr. Rothrock
promptly ordered him away and told him
never to come back again, whereupon he
whipped out a 32 calibre revolver and fired
twice at the old gentleman at close range.
Fortunately neither shot took effect.
Mr. Rothrock took refuge in the house
and Dominio, with the smoking revolver
in his hand, paced up and down the road
outside. Finally he struck off towards the
church and then the Rothrocks sent word
to sheriff Taylor with Henry Lowery, who
happened to be driving past.
Meanwhile the villainous Italian pro-
ceeded to the church in search of his fair
one, but a note from home apprised her of
her danger and she slipped out with Mr.
Rerick and started off in search of the
sheriff.
Mr. Lowery, having delivered the fiist
message, sheriff Taylor, with Harry John-
ston, as a deputy, was already on his way
to the scene. Arriving there he got Mr.
Rothrock in the buggy with him to iden-
tify the Italian and the three started to
drive down to the shanties at the quarries.
About mid-way down the lane Dominic
was met returning to the scene. Mr. Roth-
rock identified him at once, whereupon the
sheriff jumped out and ordered him to
throw up his hands. Instead of doing it
the murderous Italian reached for his gun
again and had it out, but before he could
get it leveled the sheriff had him covered
with a revolver and Johnston had a bead
on him with a double barreled shot gun
which Mr. Rothrock had taken along.
Seeing this the Italian dropped his weapon
on the grass and the sheriff manacled him
and hustled him off to jail.
The revolver which the Italian was
using was a 32 calibre and when the sheriff
arrested him it had five loads in it.
Ses AA en

A GENEROUS OFFERING.—Mr. John
Hoy, of Waddle’s Station, was in town on
Tuesday and brought with him a donation
to the Bellefonte hospital that speaks vol-
umes for the generosity of the people of
that vicinity.
Among the articles were 5 bushels of po-
tatoes, a sack of flour, 7 doz. eggs, a lot of
jellies and preserves and more than $20 in
cash.
The donation was very acceptable indeed;
especially ag it indicates that the people of
Buffalo Run appreciate the hospital.

——Next Tuesday night Mr. Hanford
and his company will be seen at Garman’s
in ‘Taming of the Shrew,’’ one of Shakes-
peare’s best comedies. This company is a
fine one and we feel it our duty to advise
you to go. Don’t stay at home and, after
some one else tells yon how good it was,
say how sorry you are to have missed it.
The WATCHMAN wouldn’t advise you to
go to the'opera house unless certain of the
play being all right.
