S. B. Row.—The venerable S. B. Row died at his home in Philipsburg, on Sun- day evening, after an illness of more thana year. He was one of that town’s most dis- tinguished and respected citizens. He was born at the old Manor church, in West- moreland county, December 15th, 1828. His father having been a newspaper pub- lisher, the younger Row learned the print- ing trade and worked successively on the | Greensburg Sentinel, the Somerset Herald, the Pittsburg Mercury and then cn the Ohio State Journal, published at Columbus. He had to give up his position at the latter place, however, on account of his health and returning to Pennsylvania was em- ployed on several weeklies in the western part of the State, before he and H. B. Swoope Esq. purchased the Raftsman’s Jour- nal, of Clearfield. They conducted that paper through various vicissitudes until in 1861 he was appointed a special agent for the Post-office Department, a position which he filled until Johnson succeeded Lincoln in the Presidency. = In 1866 he removed to Gestyshurg to en- gage in the mercantile business and six yeas later returned to Clearfield. In 1882 he located in Philipsburg, which had been his home ever since. The later years of his life were spent in retirement, though he found much pleas- ure in writing. Most of his contributions to the public press were of an historical na- ture and of a peculiar value, since they dealt with topics of interest to particular communities, yet unwritien anywhere in history. : Iu August, j1861, be married Miss Ellen Brown Lanich, of Clearfield. She died in 1886; leaving four of their children, who survive as follows : Edgar C., of Greens- burg; Agnes E., Mrs. F. F. Irvin and Harry, of Philipsburg. Funeral services were; conducted at the Potter house Tuesday evening and the body was taken to Clearfield for interment Wed- nesday morning. ll li li DANIEL HEss.—The life of one of the county’s useful citizens and a man who will ever be remembered as one of the most prominent of our pioneer country mer- chants came to a peaceful close when Dan- iel Hess died. He passed away at his home at Linden Hall Sunday morning; after a long decline that was the direct result of his advanced years, though a fractured shoulder received from a fall about six months ago added to his other infirmities. Mi. Hess was born at Aaronsburg Sep- tember 16th, 1818. When a young man he located at Linden Hall and about his store there quite a thriving little village sprung up. He was enterprising, progressive and public spirited. When the project for building the Lewisburg and Tyrone rail- road was beiug agitated he was foremost in the work. As a result of his many activi- ties the fortune he leaves behind is quite large. His life-long interest in the Lutheran church was not the least of his admirable traits and he will be missed in that quar- ter aswell as in any other in which his co- operation has been active. Surviving him are his widow, who was Miss Christine Wieland before her mai- riage, and one daughter, Mrs. T. C. Heims. A son, Edward, died some years ago. Interment was wade in the Boalsburg cemetery Tuesday morning, with Rev. Stounecypher officiating. : : ll I I Isaac H. CLEVENSTINE. — While at work in bis carpenter shop at Hublersburg, on Tuesday afternoon, Isaac Clevenstine, one of the best known residents of that community aud a man very generally re- spected, succumbed to a sudden attack of heart trouble. He had been in his usual health and there was no premonition of his death, so that the occurrence was a great shock to everyone. Mr. Clevenstine was horn in Walker township and was 59 years, 1 month and 5 days old. He was a man of many fine traits of character and held a position in that community that will be hard to fill. The sadness that has fallen on this family with- in the past few years has really heen more ‘than most people are called upon to bear. Surviving are Mrs. Clevenstine, who isa sister of Henry Walkey. of this place, her sons. Harry E., of Bellefonte, and John S., at home. Their daughter Cora died about a year ago at the age of 18. Interment will be made this morning; after services have been conducted in the Reformed church by the Rev. Crow, of Hublersburg. ll I A SAD DeaTH—Holden Stott, eldest son of the late Albert Stott and who is well known here, where his boyhood days were spent, died Monday, the 14th, in Harris- burg at the home of his grand parents with whom he had residence since his childhood and the death of his mother. He was nineteen years of age and his death is particularly sad following so closely that of bie father. He had not been well for more than a year with lung trouble but was only confined to the house four weeks. His younger brother, Ralph, is in the hos- pital being treated for tuberculosis of the spine, with very little hope of his recovery. ——David M. Bilger, the venerable and well-known proprietor of the Arctic springs property, a one time very popular resort near Philipsburg, died at his home there on Tuesday at the age of 85 years. Mr. Bilger was a very well-known resident of the county and during his many years as proprietor of the Arctic springs place made friends with hosts of people who will be sorry to learn of his death. He wae an uncle of Mrs. G. W. Rees, of Reynolds Ave., this place. Exos T. HICKLEN.—Enos T. Hicklen died very suddenly at hi: home at M¢. Eagle shortly before noon yesterday. The exact cause of his death is not known, though it is supposed to bave been the re- sult of heart trouble. About twelve years ago he fell into a’culvert that he was hav- ing built and ever since had suffered more or less from the effects of it. For years and years he had charge of a section on the Bald Eagle valley rail-road and retired with the roll of honor {men of that com- pany when he attained his seventieth year. While preparing to go to Howard last Thursday he suddenly fell over, but soon regained all his faculties. Since that time he bad been under a physician’s care and suffered several more collapses before he expired yesterday. Mr. Hicklen was about 72 years old and is sarvived by his widow and two sons: Will, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Chaney, in the First national bank of this place. He was a very reputable gentleman and lived a life of usefulness to those ahout him. No arrangements had been completed for the funeral at the hour of going to press. Mgs. ROLAND G.

While retarning from church the Sunday previous she suddenly dropped unconscious to the sidewalk and was carried into a house near-by. Later she was removed to her own home where she steadily grew worse until the end came. She was 59 years of age and is said to have had an ex- tremely pleasant disposition. Endowed with a good intellect,she was an influential member of the society of Colonial Dames and devoted much of her time to charity. On Tuesday morning her body arrived in this place, accompanied by her husband and near friends in a private car and inter- ment was made in the Curtin burying ground in the Union cemetery. The burial services were read by the Rev. W. P. Kemper, rector of St. James church of Philadelphia, and Rev. Geo. Israel Brown, of this place. ; Mgs.

O. 8. of A., of Beech Creek, celebrated its four- teenth anniversary with a big public meet-. ing and banquet on Tuesday night. ee ——The latter part of last week and the fore part of this has been a great time for the old boys on our list. Something must certainly have happened, for a great lot of them have squared up and gone ahead, set- ting a pace that will be hard for some of our old-time leaders to keep up to. It was sach an unexpected break-loose that we hardly know what to make of it, unless the good people have decided that they wou’t be back numbers any longer. rr GO WILLIAM STRUBLE KILLED AT OLEAN. — William C. Struble was killed at Olean, N. Y., on Friday night, while in pursuit of his duties as a brakeman on the Olean and Emporium local freight. He was a son of Jared and Fannie Struble and was born at Pleasant Gap, October 23rd, 1875. For a number of years he had worked in the lime kilns about here, having been a firemau at the American’s Armor Gap kilns until three months ago, when he went to railroading. William was a pleasant, conscientious industrious feliow, a member of the Wesv- er Methodist church and a young man of sterling character. About six years ago he was married to Miss Bessie Garbrick, of Jacksonville, who survives them with their three children, Adaline, Pasl and Clar- ence. His mother and sisters, Mrs. Wil- liam B. Lyon. and Miss Mona, and his brother Edward, of this place, also sur- vive. : He was a member of the Buffalo, Ro- chester and Pittsburg R. R. Relief and of Bellefonte Castle K. G. E. Interment was made at Olean on Tues- day afternoon. BerougH CouNciL’s MEETING. — The new council got down to real work on Monday evening and before they gof through with the business on hand quite enough had been said and done to show that this body intends being heard from. While there were reports of minor busi- ness by the chiefs of departments the more important matters occupying the attention of council were ones that every taxpayer will be interested in. The proposition of J. Howard Lingle to put in a new pump and repair the old wheel at the water works building at an approximate cost of $1,395 was presented by chairman Fenlon of the Water Improve- ment committee. It was practically a proposition to re-install the old water pump that was taken out and destroyed at the time the tinkering begun at the water works; the idea being to save whatever water power is now going to waste at the spring itself. The old pump was said to have delivered from 150,000 to 200,000 gal- lons of water per day to the reservoir. The one that is to re place it is guaranteed to deliver from 100,000 to 175,000 gallons per day. “At the established rate of 6 cts. per thousand gallons and pumping only 100,- 000 gallons per day this pump ought to pay for itself in less than a year which would make it appear like a very reason- able proposition. Bat we submit that it is an expenditure that is entirely un- warranted at this time. If the Phoenix pumping station delivers all the water the borough uses there is no imme- diate need for this auxiliary pump. If the Phoenix pump fails to ins ure a supply be- cause of low water in the creek then this auxiliary pump will not ‘be large enough to make up the deficiency and the steam pumps will have to be run also. The lat- ter would deliver the 100,000 gallons per day delivered by thesmall water pump and whatever else would be required of them without appreciable difference in expense. Looking at it in this light and also consid- ering that council has already a floating in- debtedness of nearly $10.000.00 it would seem that at this time, especially, the ex- pense of re-installing that supplemental water pump should not be incurred. We do not pretend tosay that this pump should not be put in at all hecause that would be foolish. At some time, however, when the borough has more money at band, and there is a demand for more water than the Phoenix pump will deliver it would be expedient. Members Kirk and Keichline were the only ones voting against the prop- osition. V. J. Bauer was appointed assessor for the current year. Dr. Kirk reported an inability to come t0 an agreement with the solicitor as to the amount of salary to be paid for his sery- ices. The solicitor reported in his opinion the borough was not liable for the damage to Mrs. Atwood’s horse and calf, caused by falling on the ice near her stable. After approving bills to the amount of $267.82 council adjourned. Raa THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.—The Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church convened in Fifth street church, Harrisburg, on Wed- nesday, and is now in session in that city. This Conference is only one of the hundred and fifty-five annual bodies belonging to the Methodist Episcopal church. Of the five annual Conferences that are within the State, its territory exceeds any of the other four. Of the 300,000 members of the Metho- dist Episcopal church in Pennsylvania, 70,384 are within the borders of this Con- ference, which stretch from the Mason and Dixon’s line along the Susquehanna, in- cluding Harrisburg, to Sunbury, thence to Hazleton, west to Emporium, south by Clearfield mountains and Bed’ord county line to Maryland. There are 254 charges, stations and cir- cuits, requiring the services of 265 pastors, who minister in 621 churches. The charges own 207 parsonages, whose valuation is es- timated at $511,905. The value of the church edifices is $3,048,200. There are 621 Sunday schools, manned by 9,289 offi- cers and teachers, who have in their care 69,541 scholars. Last year the Conference paid on its property $321,590; for the var- ious henevolences, $89,930; for local ex- penses, $76,348. It has five districts, over which is placed a minister, who is known as a presiding elder, whose functions are to oversee all charges and pastors in his dis- trict. Bishop C. C. McCabe, popularly known as chaplain McCabe, is presiding over the sessions of Conference. The bishop jis be- ing assisted in his work by five presiding elders of the Conference. The names of these are : Rev. J. Ellis Bell, Altoona dis- trict; Rev. W. W. Evans, Danville district; Rev. G. W. Stevens, Harrisburg district; Rev. Amos S. Baldwin, Juniata distriot; Rev. T. 8S. Wilcox, Williamsport district. This is the thirty-sixth annual session of the Conference. One of the most interest- ing features of the Conference will be the election of lay and ministerial delegates to the general Conference in May. Laymen can vote only for members of their own body, which rule also applies to minis- ters. Baan oe EBBERTS—MILES.—Miss Blanche M. Ebberts,a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James B.
