Ibn company with his two brothers and several other men he went out to the Six Mile Ron region for a two weeks hunt. They started on the 19th inst. ; everything having gone well up to the fatal day. Though nearly 73 years old Mr. Corl was one of the most active hunters of the party. When they started for a chase on Fiiday afternoon he stated that he was not feeling quite well and wonld remain iu camp. Ac- cordingly the others.started off without him and were shocked to find him cold in death upon their return. He was lying in almost the same spot he bad been standing when they left him.

Interment was made at Pine Hall. ll ll ll WILLIAM W. BELL.—The unexpected passing of William W. Bell early laés Sat- urday morning is another exemplification of the uncertainty of life and a warning that we muss be ready at any moment for the call of the grim destroyer. In the case of the deceased, his lamp was trimmed and burning and with unfaltering steps he passed into the valley of the shadow of death, only to emerge in the eternal bright- ness of the other side. Mr. Bell led a semi-retired life; having only recently built himself a five new home on south Thomae streets. He was a mason and took occasional contracts. In fact only the day before his death he had been down in Nittany valley with Judge Cyrus Gor- don to figure on some work. That night he retired in his usual good spirits, but about 1:15 in the morning he aroused his :daughter Mrs. Calvin Troupe, who found physician at once, but the end ‘bad come before any assistance could be secured. His death was due to hemorrhages of the bowels. While it was very sudden and nuexpected those who had been most close- ly associated with Mr. Bell lately had ob- served that his appearance indicated any- thing but the health shat his spirits seem- ed to imply. Deceased was a son of John R. Bell and was born at Aaronsbarg, this county, November 28th, 1833. His early life was spent at home where he received his educa- tion at the old Aaronsburg Academy and learued the trade of a stone mason, which he followed both as a journeyman and con- tractor thoughout his entire life. After his marriage to Miss Evaline J. Sankey, of George’s Valley, they 1esided at Pleasant Gap, later moving to State College and finally coming to Bellefonte where they have been honored and desirable residents. Their children are Dr. J. Finley, of Eugle- wood, N. J.; John R., aud Torience, of East Hampton, Loug Island; Annie, wife of Lemuel Brooks, of Wilkiusburg; Eva, wife of W. S. Chambers, of Bellefonte; Bessie, wife of Thomas Kessinger, of Hub- lersburg; Lydie, wife of Calvin Troupe, of Bellefoute. The following brothers and sisters alsosurvive him,S. A.

At half past five o’clock that evening a thief en- tered the mill operated by Harry Luz and after heating Vincent Sharp, a hoy who was in the office at the time, into insensibility made away with a little over $100.00 in cash that was in the money drawer. HOW THE ROBBERY WAS EFFECTED. While it is evident that the 10hbery was committed by an entire stranger in that community, there are so many peculiar circumstances surrounding it as to make it appear as if the actual perpetrator had either acted on information or had a con- federate. On Monday evening a man entered the mill at about 5 o’clock and purchased a sack of cornmeal fiom young Sharp, who was there alone at the time. He paid for it in cash and after asking to have it maik- ed with his name “J. Jackson,” departed, saying 'I will call for it again.” Nothing more wae seen of the man until shortly after five o'clock Tuesday even- ing, when he reappeared at the mill to find Sharp again in charge. After engag- ing him in couversation ahout common- place things for a few moments he inquired hill changed. Sharp offered to accommo- date him and went to the money diawer for the purpose. He had scarcely turned his back on the stranger ere he received a terrible blow along the left temple and ahove the eye that rendered him uncon- scious. More than an hour later miller Lutz still unconscious on the floor. He was carried to his home where he revived short- ly afterwards. Then he told the story of what had happened and it was discovertd that all of the money in the drawer had been taken. It consisted of over $100.00 in cash. Some of the funds helonged to H. R. Cartin, trustee of the Cons Curtin es- tate, owners of the mill, some to miller Lutz and the ba'ance to the Curtin band. DESCRIPTION OF THE ROBBER. Sharp had ample opportunity to study his assailant and describes him as follows : Ahout 5 feet 9 or ten inches in height, weight aboat 170 pounds, Roman nose. had a sandy mustache and a growth of heard of ahout four weeks. He wore a hlack slouch hat and a large black storm overcoat. No man answering such a description is known in that vicinity. The gronnd he- ing frezen with no snow tracking was im- possible but it is helieved ; that he came and went by the caval bank. Some people ‘think they saw him getting off the 2 o'clock train on Tuesday afternoon, walking rap idly down over the railroad embankment and going to the ridges, where he presum- ably spent his time until the honr of his reappearance at the mill. wp ONE SUSPECT ARRESTED. * Constable Roffe, of Mill Hall, arrested a stranger at the axe works in that plice Wednesday morning and telegraph. d Sheriff Taylor. The latter went down «n a morning train, taking Sharp with him, wanted. PROBABLY HIT WITH A SAND BAG. Fiom the nature of Sharp’s injury and the relative positions occupied by him and his assailant it is apparent that a sand-bag or some other equally flexible weapon was used. For while be had his back turned the blow was not at the back of the head, bus along the left temple and above the eve. There was scarcely any abrasion of the skin, though hy Wednesday evening the eye was discolored, the mark above it puffed up badly and bad become very sore. re CLAY HALL’S FRIGHTFUL EXPERIENCE. —Clay Hall, a brakeman on the Snow Shoe passenger train that leaves this place every evening at:5:45. bad abn _ experience last Friday that very few men could have and live. The train had just arrived and the engine with a few cars were being run around the Y. Hall was on top of a box car and after baving applied. the brakes started to swing out onto the ladder at the side of the car to get down. He had hold of the brake wheel and jnss when - he. was about to catch the ladder the rachet slip- ped, starting the brake to revolve rapidly and throwing him to the tracks. His right leg was run over hy one trnck and then he was rolled along between the rails until three cars and the engine passed over him; finally rolling him out under the low pilot. When picked up it was found that he was still living; so he was taken out to Willowhank street on the train and thence carried to the hospital, where it was found that he bad suffered a compound commonuted fracture of the right leg ahove the ankle, a badly fractured left foot, a lacerated scalp, and bruises about the huck and abdomen. At first it seemed that the leg would bave to be amputated and the operation was set for Sunday morning, but young Hall begged so hard to have it saved if possible shat the amputation was postpon- ed and an experiment made of gathering up the fragments of shattered bone and tying them together with gold wire. Is remains to be seen whether this method will save the limb. He was getting “along so well yesterdhy that the best ‘is hoped for now. : Hall is 22 years old, a son of John Hall, of Mileshurg.

The appointment of the date, November 20th, was originally made after full consultation with the Governor and his secretary, and it was not until after invitations were ont, and all other arrangements so far advanced that it was impossible to change them without inconvenience to many people, that circumstances arose to interfere with the date fixed. The Governor, however, requested Major- General Charles Miller to act as his per- sonal and official representative and the day passed off most successfully. The number of students is so large that the members of the Senior and Junior classes are excused from military duty, and the members of the other classes are this year for the first time formed in & battalion of six companies.
