BLANCHARD—GREEN. — Miss Rebekah
Blanchard, eldest daughter of the late
Edmund Blanchard and Dr. George Dorsey
Green, of Lock Haven, were married in
the Presbyterian church on Wednesday
afternoon. The wedding was a very quiet
one on account of the recent death of the
bride’s mother, Mrs. Mary Blanchard, and
the guests were limited to the fewest num-
ber possible.
There was no attempt at elaborate dec-
orations in the church, but palms and foliage
plants were massed about the chancel and
a great bunch of chrysanthemums beausi-
fied the pulpit. The ceremony was pro-
nounced at 3:30 o’clock hy the Rev. Dr.
Laurie, pastor of the church. Mis. R. G.
H. Hayes was the organist and the ushers
were Thomas Beaver, of this place,
Sedgwick Kistler, H. T. Hall, R. L. Fish-
burn and T. I. Lynch, all of Lock Haven.
The bride entered the church with her
brother, Frederick Blanchard, of Chicago,
who gave her away. Her gown was a
beautiful one of white accordion pleated
pine apple gauze, and she carried Brides
roses. Her two sisters, Misses Anna and
Christine Blanchard, were her only at-
tendants. They wore white swiss with
black sashes and carried white chrysan-
themums. The groom and his best man,
Edward Hoy, met the bride and her party
at the altar. $v
After the ceremony Dr. and Mrs. Green
received the congratulations of their
friends in the church and were afterwards
driven to the Blanchard home on Linn street
They.depar ted on the 4:45 train for their
wedding journey. They will make their
home in Lock Haven, where the groom has
already established a good practice. He is
the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Dor-
sey Green, of Briarly. and is a graduate of
State College as well as the medical depart-
ment of the University of Pennsylvania.
The bride is one of our most charming
young women. She is a graduate of Welles-
ley and has since childhood been a great
favorite with her associates and relatives
which include most of the oldest families
of the town. That she is exceedingly popu-
lar is evidenced by the number of beautiful
presents she received and that—when no
invitations were sent out for the wedding.
Among the gifts, which comprised an un-
usual display of solid silver and cnt glass,
were a silver tea set from Mrs. Bright, the
bride’s aunt, a very handsome berry dish
fron Mrs. Halderman, of Harrisburg, a
chest of flat silver from the groom’s family,
and valuable Oriental rug from the Misses
Peale, of Lock Haven.
The guests from out of town were Hon.
and Mrs. 8. R. Peale and their two daugh-
ters, of Lock Haven, Miss Woodward, of
Howard. and Rev. Jay Woodcock, of State
College.

RULES FOR HUNTERS.—As the moun-
tains, all through this section of the State,
are full of hunters we give the following
rules taken from an exchange for the por-
pose of showing these nimrods how exceed-
ingly easy it will be for them to make work
for the coroner and mews for the county
papers.” You sbould remember first, to
always crawl over a fence with the muzzle
of your gun towards you. Then, should
anything catch on the trigger, the coroner
will get a job and the newspaper man will
have something interesting to write.ahous
the next week. 20d. If you see anything
move in the brush,you want to fire instans-
ly; never stop to consider. Of course, it
may be another hunter, but you can call
around in the morning and explain to the
widow that you thought it was a pheasant.
She will probably think you a bird. 3rd.
Always leave the hammer of your gun up
if you have anybody with you. If it
should fall, your friend will probably
catch the ammunition in his back before i$
goes far. You can then pick the shot out
Numerous other similar wise
precautions will suggest themselves while
you are in prison awaiting trial shonld you
survive rule No. 1.
FouND DROWNED IN A FISH BASKET. —
Henry. Linthurst, who was once a resident
of Philipsburg, was found drowned in a
fish basket in the river near Millerstown,
on Nov. 20d. It was some time before the
body was identified but finally his daugh-
ter called and discovered that it was her
father.
He was 75 years old and the last seen of
him was October 23rd, on which date he
left the residence of Mrs. Thos. Smith,
4381 Leidy street, Philadelpbia,to go down
town shopping. Saturday morning his
daughter identified the remains. It is sup-
posed. that Mr. Linthurst started to walk
from Philadelphia to Lewistown to visit
his son, W. W. Linthurst, and fell into the
river. He was seen in the vicinity a few
days before the body was found and re-
marked to one that he was going down
along the river to take a rest.

A HUNTING ACCIDENT AT REBERSBURG.
—Merlin Winklebiecht met with an acci-
dent while out gunning near Rebersburg,
last Friday, that might result in the loss of
his leg. While going through some brush
his gun was accidentally discharged; the
heavy load of shot penetrating the calf of
his leg. Ammon Fiedler, another hoy, was
hunting with him aod ran for help.
He was taken to town and a doctor sum-
moned. At first it was thought that it
would be necessary to amputate his leg but
yesterday inquiry revealed the fact that he
is improving so well that it will hardly be
necessary.
Young Winkleblecht is 19 years old and
is a son of W. H. Wiukleblecht, of Renovo.
He was at Rebersburg going to school.

--—A. C. Mann’s beautifal home at
Mill Hall was totally destroyed by fire last
Friday night. Mrs. Mann and two of the
children were visiting friends at Mackey-
ville and Mr. Mann was out hunting. He
returned home that evening and after tell-
ing the colored man to make a fire in the
furnace retired. He had been in bed
only a short time when smoke aroused him
and the house was already so enveloped in
flames that he had to jump from a window
to escape. The loss is estimated at $12,000,
with an insurance of $7,000. Mr. Mann
had mauy oriental rugs, rare bric-a-hrac
and china that can never be replaced.

——A young Philipsburger is said to have
made an election wager with a charming
Osceola girl that will keep them hoth busy
paying and receiving most of the nights
this winter. He promised to give hera
box of candy for every hundred. votes that
Judge Gordon would poll over: his op-
ponent Allison O. Smith, for judge ; while
she obligated herself to give him a kiss for
every vote that Smith would have over
Gordon. Being a staunch Republican the
young lady could see no one bat Gordon
in the race. As he was defeated by some
2500 hundred votes it will be seen that the
kisses she will bave to give up will be
plenty ; but then an Osceola girl is the
kind that can make good in this line.

——Even with the weather as favorable
as it has been and the fact that but little
over half a crop was grown, the corn crop
in the county is not nearly all gathered,
vor will it be for days to come. In some
sections ‘‘husking’’ has only been begun
while in others few if any farmers have the
crop in. This is accounted for as a conse-
quence of a scarcity of farm help. Not-
withstanding the fact that scores of men
are ont of employment there seems to be
an indisposition among those needing con-
stant work to labor on a farm, and men
who could now be earning fair wages in
addition to their boarding, seem disposed
to face actual want, during the coming
winter, rather than accept employment on
the farm. Why this prejudice against this
kind of work we do not know, nor is it to
be wondered at that farmers become ad verse
to helping this class of laborers when they
are in need. :

——"‘Citizen’’ speaks quite positively on
the Water street improvement in Tues:
day’s issue of the News, but ‘‘Citizen’’
doesn’t seem to fully comprehend the sitna-
tion. In the first place a walk on the east
side of the street has been ‘discussed in
council several times, but if it is to be laid
there the property owners should be
made do it, for if the borough should do it
once the burden would always remain with
the borongh ; just as it did in the case of
the race bridge on High street. There is a
bridge over a private water way that was
always maintained by the Hale estate until
one day a circus came to town avd for fear
the elephants would break through the
street commissioner ran to make some trivi-
al repairs to the bridge. Trivial though
they were they were just enough to permit
the Hale estate to unload the burden of
caring for that bridge onto the borough and
there it will remain for all time. Viewed
in another light the horough is responsible
for a walk on the west side of the street,
for it is on borough property. That street
was opened by ordinance daring the past
summer and the lines carry the borough’s
responsibility to low water mark on the
creek. Furthermore, ‘‘Citizen’s’’ idea of
the amount of traffic on north Water street
is ridiculous. As a matter of fact it is one
of the most generally used thoroughfares
in town and with the possible exception of
High, Allegheny and Bishop there is more
traffic on it than any other street.
FORTNEY.—After six years of patient
suffering, as the victim of paralysis, Mr.
Jas. G. Fortney, passed away, at his home
in Pine Grove Mills, on Friday morning
last. Death came quietly as an evening
shadow, and without a struggle his spirit
peacefully returned to Him who gave it.
‘James Guthrie Fortney was the second
son of the late David Fortney and was
‘born in Patton township this county on
the 29th day of March 1833. His early
life was passed on the farm and working
at the trade of carpentering. In 1859 he
moved with his father, to the Branch, after
whose death he was left with the responsi-
bility of the large farm, they had purchased,
and the care of an agod mother, and the
younger children of the family. He soon
became one of the most successful farmers
in the county, and wae noted for the ex-
cellence of the stock he raised and the
fine condition of his farm and property.
He was a man of unbounded hospitality,
and no one in need, who ever appealed to
him, was turned away unaided. = Sun-shine
seemed to follow his foot steps, be had a
word of cheer and comfort for all, and
wherever he went there was brightness and
bope. In early life he connected himself
with the church of his choice—the Luther-
an—of which he was a consistent and faith-
ful member to the end.
In 1862 he was married to Miss Sallie
Homan, and the resul t of this union was
three daughters and two sons who with
the wife mourn the death of a most indal-
gent husband and father. The children
are C. S. Fortney of Centre Hall, Mrs. E.
C. Musser of the Branch, and Mrs. D. C.
Krebs, Miss Annie and A. J. Fortney of
Pine Grove. Col. D. F. Fortney of Belle-
fonte and Rev. G. W. Fortney of Suffern,
| N. Y., are his only brothers.
. A large concourse of friends and neigh-
bors gathered at the home on Monday to
accompany the remains to the silent city of
the dead. His pastor, the Rev. C. Aikens,
had charge of the services and paid a just
tribute to the virtue of the deceased in
his short address. Rev. D. J. Brown and
his younger brother the Rev. G. W. Fort-
ney bore testimony to the christain in-
fluence of a good man in a home where
the bible was reverted and prayer was
wont to be made daily. Interment was
made in the New cemetery. I
ISRAEL J. CoNDO.—After suffering only
one day with cramp of the stomach Israel
J. Condo passed away at his home at Boals-
burg, on Saturday evening, at the age of
59 years, 7 months and 5 days.
Deceased was a member of one of the
pioneer families of Brush valley, his grand-
father having settled there in the early
days of the county’s history. He was born
at Aaronsburg March 23rd, 1834, and de-
voted the early part of his life to black-
smithing, but in later years he gave it up
and became a confectioner, which he was
following at the time of his death. He
was one of the most popular citizens of
Boalsburg, his gentle and pleasant disposi-
tion making lasting friends of all who be-
came acquainted with him. Politically he
was. an unwavering Democrat, religiously
he was a devout Lutheran, and in every
walk and profession of life he was honest
and earnest. His wife, who was Miss
Agnes Price, before their marriage, died
about five years ago ; leaving him with
the following children: Annie, wife
of Richard Kreamer, of Altoona ; Cora,
wife of Andrew Kreamer, of Altoona, and
Mande, wife of Edward Williams, of Beals-
burg. He also leaves the following broth-
ers and sisters: Robert. of Boalsburg;
William, of Aaronsburg, and Charles in the
far West ; Mrs. Sarah Spangler, of Rebers-
burg, and Mrs. Mary Bohn, of Osceola.
Mr. Condo was a charter member of the
Boalsburg lodge I. O. O. F. which order
‘conducted the impressive burial on Tues-
day morning. He was alsoa member of
the Lutheran church. * Rev. Stonecypher
officiated at the funeral.

MRs. J. L. WALKEY.—Alter having suaf-
fered for a long time with cancer Mrs. J.
L. Walkey passed peacefully away at her
home, about a mile from Hublersburg on
Tuesday morning. She had been in bad
health, as a result of her affiiction, for a
Jong time and in the hope of gaining relief
she submitted to an operation about two
weeks ago, but the trouble had advanced
too far to be eradicated and her death re-
sulted. :
Mrs. Walkey was about filty years old.
Her death causes poignant sorrow to her
husband and their sons John, Charles and
Carl, as well as her aged mother, six sisters,
‘a brother and a wide circle of friends; for
she was a loving, devoted mother and a|
woman of exemplary christian habits.
Funeral services were conducted at her
late home yesterday afternoon, by the Rev.
H. I. Crow, of the Reformed charch and
interment was made in the Reformed ceme-
tery.

ABEL CAMPBELL.—It is with sincere
regret that we announce the death of Abel
Campbell, which occurred at his home in
Austin, Potter county, on the 21st ult.,
from the effects of a stroke of paralysis.
It has been several years since we have
seen the genial gentleman, whom we re-
garded as a very dear friend, and the
thought that we are never to meet again in
this world brings a measure of genuine
sadness. At one time he was one of the
well-known men of the Snow Shoe country,
prominent in Democratic politics and
actively engaged in lumbering. When
that industry was worked out he struck
off into the new field where he has passed
away.
Mr. Campbell was 60 years and 6 months
old. He is survived by his widow, three
daughters and one son. A sister and two
brothers are also living.
on IOI
MRs. SARAH PIFER.—Mrs. Sarah Piler
died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.
V. Smith, on Thomas street, on Monday
afternoon, after a six weeks’ illness from
the effects of paralysis.
Mrs. Pifer was born in Northampton
county, July 3rd, 1823, and was a member
of the old and very prominent Fahr fami-
ly. She came to Centre county about 30
years ago and since the death of her hus-
band, Abram Pifer, in 1877, made her
home at Howard, except during the past
six years which she has spent with her
daughter in this place.
She was active and useful in church and
charitable works; having been a life long
member of the Lutheran denomination. Of
her home life and loving traits her bereav-
ed children know the bess, but their in-
fluence radiated out among others who
came in contact with her, so full of good-
ness, as to make her a beloved woman.
Surviving are the following children :
Mrs. Katherine MecClintick, of Lamar;
George C., of DuBois; Mrs. Elizabeth
Krape, of Parvin, Clinton 3ounty; Mrs.
Emma Smith, of Bellefonte; Harvey of Mill
Hall; Alvin, of Walker; Mrs. Nettie Bolo-
pue, of Howard, and Grant, of Wiikins-
burg. : :
She is also survived by one sister, Mrs.
Fietta Raub, of Northampton. One broth-
er, Benjamin Fahr, who resided in Steven-
son county, Ill., preceded her to the grave
just fifteen days ago.
Funeral services were conducted by the
Rev. Dr. Halloway at the Smith home yes-
terday afternoon at 1 o'clock ; after which
the body will be taken to Lamar for inter-
ment.

‘MRs. SUSAN MECHTLEY.—Mrs. Susan
Mechtley, relict of Daniel Mechtley, pass-
ed away at the home of her brother, Harry
Teats, in Curwensville, where she has re-
sided recently, on Sunday evening, after a
lingering illness of consumption.
For a number of years Mrs. Mechtley was
a resident of Bellefonte, where she was held
in high esteem and the patient, christian
life she lived was but a preparation for the
more beautiful one into. which she has en-
tered. Mr. Mechtley, who was a well
known mason here, died several years ago.
Their one daughter, Mrs. J. A. Finkbind-
er, resides in this place.
Her body was brought here for burial on
Tuesday afternoon and after services were
held in the Evangelical church, of which
sh€was a devout member, interment was
made in the ig Speer.

Intersection yesterday morning early after
a short illness of diphtheria. Just a week
ago to-day her older sister, Emma, was
buried from what has since been pronounced
the same disease, but at that time was
thought to be quinsy. Her parents were

death following so soon will be a grea¢ sor-
row to them. She was fourteen vears of
age aud is survived by her: parents, four
gisters and two brothers. Interment was

ing ground. :

Will Crissman, of Pittsburg, Pa., broth-
er of the groom, acted as best man, while
Miss Katharine Bultmann, sister of the
bride acted as bridesmaid. After the mar-
riage the happy young couple was driven
to the bride’s home where an elegant sup-
per was served to a large number of friends
and relatives after which dancing was the
feature of the evening for which Prof.
Herr’s orchestra furnished music.
The bride’s gown was made of white silk
organdie, trimmed with valenciennes lace
and ribbon. She wore the veil and wreath
and carried a large bouquet of white chry-
santhemums. The groom was attired in the
usual black.
Mr. and Mrs. Crissman departed at mid-
night for California to spend their honey-
moon. They will reside in Vincennes on
their return.”
