CoMMITTED SUICIDE IN ALTOONA. —Harry Bratton, who was born at Centre ‘Hall, November 11th, 1878, sat on the side toona, Wednesday afternoon of last week, and sent a ballet from a;32-calibre revolver crashing through'his brain.’ No cause is known for the rash act, unless it was done in a fit of despondency, for he had been in good spirits and had steady employment as a mechanic in the railroad shops. It is probable that the action of his one brother in getting married and the other going away without apprising him of his whereabouts had something to do with it, as he talked of both regretfully. When a hoy he was kicked on the head by a horse, for a long time suffered convulsions and later headaches were frequent, but more recently he did not suffer from the hurt. Daring the forenoon Bratton had ac- companied his brother-in-law, William Horton, who had just arrived from Wind- ber, about the eity in search of work, and after dinner went up stairs, requesting to be called later when Horton came to the home for him. At the hour named the mother-in-law of Bratton and mother of Horton went up stairs to notify her son-in- law that Horton was ready to go out again. About the same time the shots was heard, and a family’s prospective happy Christ- mas time was made a season of lament and mourning. Deceased had resided in Altoona but a year, going there from Windber, where he bad been employed as a stationary engi- peer. He was married November 28th, 1900, to Mary Horton, daughter of Simon and Elizabeth Horton, of Altoona. He was a member of the lodge of Odd Fellows at Windber. He is survived by his wife and one child, and two brothers, John, of Centre Hall, and Hershal, whose where- ‘abouts are unknown. His remains were taken to Hannah Farnace, for burial on Saturday. ¥ I ll JAMES M. -AMMERMAN. — James M.

Before medical aid could: he rendered the vital spark had fled. His remains were taken to Unionville on Thursday following and interred in the cemetery east of town.

In mentioning the ladies who had heen active in raising the donation last week we were unaware of the part Mrs. Henry Mey- er, Mrs. Harry Shugerts and Mrs. Emma | Fisher took in is. All three of them con- tributed largely, both of their time and funds and we hasten to make public acknowl- edgement of their kindness in the matter. — ate THE ScHOOL CHILDREN MAKE A DoNA- TION.—AsS the result of a rather unique undertaking the school children of Belle- fonte have just presented 73 bushels of potatoes and 2 bushels of apples to the Bellefonte hospital.

A few of the'groom’s friends ‘‘got wise,”’ and while the couple were’in the parsonage their cab was he- '| decked with ribhous and placards and bells were put on the horses.
