CUR- TIN.—Mrs. Katharine Wilson Curtin, widow of Andrew Gregg Curtin, Peunnsyl- vania’s Governor of war times, and one of the most beloved women of the town, died suddenly at the family home on High street on Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock of cerebral hemorrhage. Had Mrs. Curtin lived until the 17th of next month she would have been eighty- three years of age, but to the close of her life she retained to a remarkable degree her personal magnetism and mental and physical vigor. On Monday morning until 12 o'clock, apparently in her usual health, she was out walking and visiting the shops. To a friend whom she met she remarked, ‘‘I have never felt better in my life. Everyone ought to be out walking this perfect day, it is too lovely to be in bouse.”” At launch her grand-Gaughter noticed that her left hand seemed partly paralyzed and silently attracted the atten- tion of her father, Dr. Geo. F. Harris, to it. “He noticed a slight contraction of the muscles of her face and immediately as- sisted her into the library. There she soon lapsed into unconsciousness and thus slept away. No one of the many friends to whom she was endeared could have wished for her a more peaceful transition. After a life full of years and distinction aud con- tentment, with faculties all unimpaired until the very last, without either suffer- ing or sorrow and in her own home sar- rounded by those she loved she passed into eternity. Mrs. Curtin was a great-grand-daughter of Gen. James Potter of Revolutionary fame. Her parents were Dr. William I., and Mary Potter Wilson, and she was born at Potter’s Bank, on January 17th, 1821. She attended school at that place and later was a pupil at Miss Leech’s in Harrisburg. On May 2nd, 1844, she was united in mar- riage to Andrew Gregg Curtin, who was then a young lawyer just beginning to take an active part in politics, and for her wed- ding trip drove to Philadelphia. After her marriage she came to Bellefonte to live and for almost fifty years has ‘heen an honored and revered citizen here. Gifted with a good intellect and a personality of unusual charm and beauty Mrs. Curtin was an ideal wom- an for the enviable positions of prominence she was called upon to fill. Daring the eight years of her husband’s administration in Harrisburg, his residence in St. Petersburg as minister to Russia and his term of office in Washington as congressman from this district,she was accorded much praise for her unaffected graciousness and ability. Gov. Cartin died on October 7th, 1894,and since then she has lived very quietly with the exception of a yearly -visit at ‘the home of her son in Philadelphia and with friends in Harrisburg. She was a great reader and a lover of out door life and to the end was keenly interested in the outside world. By her family and kin she was greatly beloved and those who bad the privilege of her ac- quaintanace will ever remember her uni- versal courtesy and ber charming be- nignant comradeship. Of her seven children four are living : | Mrs. George F. Harris and Mrs. M. D. Burnet, of this place ; Mrs. K. R. Breese, of Downingtown, and Wm. W. Cartin, of Philadelphia. A son and daughter died daring childhood and Jennie, Mrs. Wm. Sage, of Ithaca, N. Y., about ten years ago. She is also survived by thirteen grand- children, six great-grand-children and four sisters, Mrs. Lucy Moyer, Mrs. Laura Elliott aud Misses Mary and Alice Wilson, all of this place. The funeral yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock was in accord with Mrs. Curtin’s lite——as little display as possible and impressively simple. Rev. George Israel Brown of the Episcopal church read the barial services in the absence of Dr. Laurie, pastor of the Presbyterian church of which she was a member and a regular attendant. The pall-bearers were Andrew and Ran- dolph Breese, Andrew Sage, John Shugert, Allen Sheldon and John Cugin, all grand- sons or nephews of the deceased. Inter- ment was made privately in she Curtin lot in she Union cemetery. fi fl I Nascy W. BARR..—Nanecy W. Barr. relict of Robert Barr, who died abont three years ago, passed away at the home of Blair Gates, at Gatesburg, on last Satur. day morning, at the age of 75 years and 5 days. As the death of her husband the Barr home at Boalshurg was broken up and the old lady came to spend the remaining days with her daughter, Mrs. Wilson, in this place. On Monday of last week she went to Gatesburg to visit others of her children and while there she took a heavy cold that resulted in pneumonia that caused her. death. Deceased was a most estimable woman and all her life had been a zealous member of the Presbyterian church. Surviving her are these children : Homer, of ‘Boals- burg; Mrs. Blair Gates, Cyrus and Howard, of Gatesburg, and Mrs. Wilson, of this place. After services in the Presbyterian church at Boalsbnrg Monday morning in- terment was made at that place. I a I ——Mrs. Annie E. Faust died at the home of her son, Roland E.

He was driving down through what is known as “Lover's Lane,” or the back way by the McCalmont quarries; when the horse frightened and started to run. Near the old nail works site Tommy was thrown out and was found along the roadside by Wil- liam Hampton, whom Edward K. Rboads ‘bad called to assist him in the hunt. Mr. Rhoads was taking his evening walk when the runaway passed him and he made up his mind at once that perbaps someone had been thrown out of the vehicle and hurt. When found Tommy was in a dazed condi- tion, bruised about the head and his right ear torn so that it required six stitches to fasten it on again. *00 ‘ — It a man or hoy wears it. it's at Faables.

Eagleville and Beech Creek that the Nestlerode fam- ily, who were taken off the train at Al- toona last week because the father was suf- fering with small-pox, had been visiting in that community just previously there was great consternation. They had been visiting John A. Nestlerode;near the Eagle- ville station and on Monday of last week the infected man called ata Mill Hall drug store for some medicine. When the drug- gist saw him he told him he had better get out of town before the health authorities saw him. The next day the Nestlerodes started “for their home in Youngstown, Ohio, aud had gotten as far as Altoona when a P. R. R. physician discovered their condition and had them removed to the pest house. Down at Eagleville several families have been quarantined as a result of the visit. Rev. Price, ——The WATCHMAN for a year would. VINCENT SHARP IS A RASCAL.—After all the trouble we went to explaining jnst how a villainous tramp had struck Vincent Sharp with a sand bag and then while he was unconscious walked off with over $100 that was in the safe of the mill at Curtins Works, here that consummate young rascal comes forth and practically gives us the lie by confessing that he wasn’t assaulted at all and that he simply stole the money himself. : The slight marks that our Cartins Works informant found on the forehead of the victim the evening after he was supposed to have been assaulted must have been his conscience beginning to work out, for he says now that his conscience made him confess. On the evening of Nov. 24th a stranger was reported as having held young Sharp up, while he was alone in the mill operat- ed by Harry Lutz, at Cartine Works. The man was said to have asked Sharp for change for a five dollar bill and when the latter had his back turned at the money drawer the stranger struck him with a sand bag; rendering him unconscious. The victim 1s supposed to have laid on the floor of the mill office for an home or more until he was found by Miller Lutz and carried to his howe, still in an unconscious condition. When he finally did come to the story of the assault and robbery was told in such a magnificent style as to com- pletely deceive everyone. It was so well concocted that sheriff Taylor even took Sharp to Mill Hall, two days later, to identify a suspect who had been arrested at that place. The only suspicious circumstance about the whole affair was that there was no lamp ‘| or abrasion on the back of Sharp’s skull where he would have been struck, but here is where the WATCHMAN’S ingenuity came in bandy. There was a slight mark and discoloration above the boy’s ove eyeabout" the temple and in order to make his story fit the facts this paper advanced the idea that it must have been a sand bag or some other equally flexible weapon that knock- ed him out. The story went all] right enough until Sharp’s conscience began to work under the inquisitiveness of detective Rightnour. In consequence of this he gave way Mon- day evening and made a complete confes- sion, stating that he himself had stolen the money and hid a part of it in the wall of the basement of the mill and the balance in the house, to which place he conducted the officer and got and handed over the money. Officer Rightnour had his suspicions and when leaving the young man he told him he would go and get a warrant and arrest him, when he called him back and confess- ed to the crime. He admitted that no *‘J. Jackson’’ had purchased corn meal and that he was only feigning insensibility when found in the mill by his employer, Mr. Lutz... Much credit is due Mr. Rightoour for cleaning up this mysterious affair and fixing the blame where it belongs. No arrests will be made. The young Zman’s confession and the return of the money being considered sufficient to satisfy those interested. ————— rt AL GROVE’S MISFORTUNE.—With all the hard luck he has bad in the past two years farmer Al Grove joked and made light of an accident that on Tuesday cost him his left hand. He was at" work at a fodder shredder on his farm above the Nittany furnace shortly: before noon on Tuesday, when a canvas glove he was wearing got caught in the rolls and drew his left band into the machine. Fortu- nately for him when he fell he went against the machinery, stopping it. Otherwise bie whole arm would have been ground off. After he was extricated he drove in to town and seemed to take his misfortune so lightly that even the surgeon could scarce- ly realize that the man’s left hand was a pulp almost to the wrist. He was taken to the hospital where Dr. Locke removed the member. x ,» About two’weeks ago John Fogleman; a hoy employed by Mr. Grove, lost a thumb and the ends of several fingers in the same machine. A singular coincidence in this case lies in the fact that several years ago a boy had. the ends of his fingers nipped off by a new saw that had been set up in Bullock’s por: table swing works at Milesburg. Several days later Mr. Grove was down at the works and while endeavoring to show some strangers how the accident had befallen the boy he had two fingers sawed off his own right hand. So that this accident really leaves him in a very bad way. FIRE IN PHILIPSBURG.—Early Monday morning Philipsburg bad a fire that cleaned up a block of light frame buildings that stood on the west side’ of North Front street between the First National bank building and the home of Dr. J. D. MGirk. The buildings were owned by "the Hoffer estate and Mrs. E. Tyson. They were occupied on the flrst floor by Hoffer’s novelty store, Henry Schlater’s barber shop and Recorder John Rowe’s tailoring estab- lishment. On the second floor was the office of Justice B. J. LaPorte and E. Bol- linger’s tailoring shop. v The fire is supposed t5 have heen of in- cendiary origin. It was discovered at about 2.30 o’clock by A. J. Gorton, night watchman at the bank. At that time the flames seemed to be confined to an open stairway leading from the street. The local fire companies worked hard, but the buildings being light frame strac- tures were practically wiped out. The Hoffer store loss is estimated at $10,- 000, with $3,500 insurance. The Hoffer building was valaed at $3,000, with $1,200 insurance. Mus. Tyson’s loss is partially covered by $1,400 insurance. ——The Snow Shoe miners returned to work this week, after being out about six months. > —— Let the Fauble Stores be your Santa Claus.

ES DECEMBER WEDDINGS.—One of the in- teresting and surprising marriages of the week was that of Miss Kathryn Alvina Irvin, only daughter of Mr. and Mis. Daniel Irvin, of Julian, and J. Howard Tarner. The bride’s dislike of publicity and her father’s ill health prompted her to a quiet church ceremony with only kind- red minds present. The wedding was ar- ranged as she desired and so perfect were the details that not until announcement cards were sent out by her parents on Thursday did ber friends here know of the marriage. It took place on Wednesday afternocn at 2:30 o’clock in the First Presbyterian church of Altoona, Rev. J. W. Bain, the pastor pronounced the ceremony and it was witnessed by Miss Mary Struble, of Zion, and Arthur Irvin, the bride's young- est brother. At the conclusion of the cere- mony and receiving the congratulations of those present Mr. and Mrs. Turner de- parted for a visit in Washington and Point Comfort. Upon their return they will make their home at Julian, where the groom, formerly of Pittshurg, recently purchased the Irvin store. The bride is a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families of Huston township. She is well and favorably known here, for she is a exceedingly attractive young wo- man with very pleasing manners. She was a student at the Academy for several years and visits her brothers frequently. EARL C. TUTEN MARRIED.—Earl C. Tuten, editor and manager of the - Daily News and Miss Rebekah Cole were mar- ried in Lock Haven Monday morning, by the Rev. H. R. Bender, pastor of Trinity Methodist church of that city. While it was very quietly carried out their marriage can scarcely be regarded as a surprise, as it was expected at most any time. The only regret their hosts of friends here have is that they were not afforded an opportunity of making some demonstra- tions worthy the good wishes they all cherish for Mr. and Mrs. Tuten. The groom bas heen identified with the newspaper business in Bellefonte ever since childhood. He is a present editor and manager of the Daily News and is associat- ed with his father, E. T. Tuten, in the publication of the Republican. Of recent years he has taken an active part in politics and was defeated for Register of the county by only a barrow margin two years ago ; notwithstanding the county is Democratic and he made a very indifferent canvass, His bride is a daughter of the late John Cole and has been regarded as one of Belle- fonte’s prettiest girls. She has other ac- complishments as well, for besides being a splendid housekeeper she knows almost enough about the mechanical end of a news- paper office to: run one herself. ‘But grac- ious and sunny in disposition she is admir- ably adapted to preside over a pleasant home. > ANNOUNCEMENT.—I wish to announce that I have been appointed district agent of the Manhattan Life Insurance Company of New York, one of the strongest and best life insurance companies in the world.
