FELL UNDER His TRAIN AND WAS
KILLED.—It is sad indeed to record the
tragic death of Will Cherry; for a more
‘genial,
fellow never lived in “Bellefonte. Strong
and handsome in physique, with all the
possibilities of young manhood before him,
his life bas been snuffed out:in.a twink-
ling, leaving his parents to mourn a son of
whom | anyone might have been proud,
He had been employed for nearly two
years as a brakeman on the local freight
running between this place and Sunbury.
On. Monday the train was on the return
trip and had reached the siding at Zerby,
a water station near Spring Mills, where a
flying switch was to be made. Will was
on the engine and in jumping off to turn
the switch for the draft of four cars follow-
ing he was either thrown or slipped and
fell with such force against the switch
block as to render him insensible and his
body bounded back along the track just as
the cars reached the spot. It is not known
whether the wheels passed over him or
whether he fell close enough along the
rails to ‘be caught and dragged by the
journal boxes. Af all events he suffered a
fracture of the skall,several scalp wounds,a
broken arat-and lacerations over the abdo-
men.- His body was picked up and brought
to Bellefonte on the afternoon passenger
train. It was taken to Naginey's to be
prepared for burial and later was taken to
the parental home on Valentine street.
William F. Cherry was the youngest son
of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Cherry. He
was horn at Harrisburg. just 21 - years ago
and came here with his parents when they
located here after his father became the
engineer on the passenger run out of Belle-
fonte via the L. & T. He was a member
of the Brotherhood of Brakemen and of the
Young American Republican club, both
of which organizations attended the fun-
eral in a body asa mark of respect toa
member who was an honor to both. He
is survived by his parente and the follow-
ing brothers and sisters : Samuel, of East
Stroudsburg; Mrs. Laura Dawson, Phila-
delphia; John, Melvin, Minnie and Annie,
all of this place.
Interment was made in the Union ceme-
tery yesterday morning; after Rev. John
Wood, of the Methodist church, had con-
ducted services at his late home on Vai-
entine street.
ARE
A MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT STATE COL-
LEGE.-—State College was thrown into a
furore of excitement Wednesday morning
when it was announced that David Bailey,
aged 58 years, bad been found dead at the
bo ttom of the stairs in Carrigan’s boarding
house’ in that place. He had been em-
ployed on the constrdction of the new
buildings at the College and as general
utility man about the boarding house and
his death was so peculiar that coroner
Braucht was called tosit in inquest.
Bailey bad been drinking to excess and,
it is presumed, fell down stairs during the
night, dying of concussion of the brain.
Mus. Carrigan is said to have seen him ly-
ing at the foos of the stairs when she went
down to get breakfast, but supposing he
was asleep did not disturb him. Later
someone else looked at him, discovering
that he was dead. A physician was hastily
summoned, but life had been extinct for
some time. He was lying with his body on
the floor and his feet and legs up on the
steps, a small bruise on the back of his head
being the only mark visible.
The coroner's inquest revealed very little
of importance in the case and the verdict
was to the effect that he had met death
from natural causes.
Last year Bailey worked for J. B. Goheen
at Penna Furnace. He was a son of the
late Richard Bailey and had a brother
Samuel, who died some years ago.

SMALL -POX AT HOWARD.—The town of
Howard is having its share of trouble and
excitement over the discovery of a case of
small-pox there last Tuesday.
* Habért, a fourteen year old son of Wm.
Han na, who bad been ill since New Years
day, finally got so bad that Dr. McEntyre
was oalled in and diagnosed the oase as
small-pox. The place was guarantived a$
once and everything possible is being done
to prevent the spread of the disease, though
up to the time of its discovery the Hunna
children had mingled freely with their
neighbors.
The first rumors that were atloat were to
the effect that one of Mrs. Carrie Wensel’s
children wae also affected, but Sis has
heen contradicted.
As a result of the small-pox the schools
at Howard have been closed and the home
of Mrs. Carrie Wensel, in Howard. and a
Mr. Walker, of Marsh Creek, are under
quarantioe because the families had visited
the Hannas shortly before their infection
was discovered.
There was considerable discussion among
the physicians as to a casein the family of
James Hayes, which was finally pronounced
to be chicken-pox.
No one has avy ides where yonng Hanva
were at their house during the Holidays.

sister, Mrs. John B. Mitchell, at Pine

bad been in failing health for several years
‘with bronchial trouble and during the
summer and fall spent some months in

preaching at Pine Grove. After his death

where she was greatly beloved and rever-

was it would be difficalt to find. Bright,
gentle and thoroughly alert to the needs
of humanity, she was a power for good in
every community in which she llved. In
‘her home and social relations she was ideal

—Mr. and Mrs. John® Porter Lyon, little Miss
Deborah. -and baby George and “his nurse, who
‘have been staying at the Mitchell home on north
Thomas street since the latter part of October, re-
turned to their home at Pennsylvania Furnace
‘yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Lyon is’ just recover-
[ing from a_severe, relapse following her recent
illness and her mother, Mrs. Mitchell, is so much
better’ that she'is now Shle ta sit up Dyer} of every

—Hiram Lee, who farms several miles below
Bellefonte, and is one of the kind of men who
contributes much to‘the ‘high standard of Centre
county husbandmen, was in town on Tuesday
making a few preliminary preparations for his
‘sale on March 8th. After it is over he is going to
move to Kansas, where he expects to make his
home in the future——and, by the way, Mr. Lee
‘has a team of fine dun driving horses that some
.one needing such a team would do well to look
up.
—Rev. Father Zarek, of Clarence, with Mr. John
Garnda, the teacher of the parochial schools out
there, was in town last week visiting Rev. Father
McArdle. The church at Clarence has grown
wonderfully under Father Zarek, who is an ac-
.complished linguist and gathers together the
many nationalities represented in that mining
district. In addition to his church work he has
organized the parochial schools, where hundreds
of foreign children are taught the rudiments of
English, as well as the duties of good citizenship
and for those whose days are spent in toil in the
mines he has organized Bight schools; that are
well attended.
—Rather a strange thing Dippined in Belle-
fonte on Tuesday. A full grown, fine looking
‘gentleman who has lived all his life in Philips-
burg paid the county seat his first visit. Just
why he came at all no one seems to know unless
it might have been the new trolley over there that
scared him out on the hunt of a quiet place to
live. However, he was in good company, tor we
noticed D. W. Holt, sporting a natty looking new
brown overcoat, and still overflowing with the
good humor that the ten teachers he entertained
brought into his home during institute week,
piloting him around. Simler Batcheler, was in
their wake, too, and what the milkman doesn’t
know wouldnt fill the last page of a ‘Dutch alma-
nac. Simler was feeling a little proud, too, over
the trolley, but he didn’t act too grand -to recog-
nize his old Bellefonte friends.

to cary the impression shat we have quite
as many beauty spots as other places.
