DuNCAN.—Distinguished as a financier and business man, charitable and public spirited as a citizen, one whose life and character gave caste to the per- sonnel of the entire county, William P. Duncan, of Philipsburg, passed away in Baltimore, Md., on Tuesday evening. Most of the winter his life was dispaired of because of an attack of grip that cul- minated in pneumonia and heart trouble, but lately he had grown so much better as to be able to leave home, for travel which had been suggested as a means to more complete recovery. Consequently the an- nouncement of his death was a great shock. Mr. Dancan was born at Lewisburg in 1838. He was a son of O. P. Duncan, of Aaronsburg; his mother having been Susan Potter, of Potters Mills, both distinguish- ed families in Centre county annals. For years he was head of the firm of Wm. P. Duncan & Co., founders and machinists in this place, and after disposing of his inter- ests in that business he located in Philips- burg, where he soon forged to the front among the leading business men and capi- talists of that town. Ast the time of his death he was presi- dent of the First national bank, owner of the Sandy Ridge fire brick works, associat- ed with the Hastings and Spangler inter- ests in extensive coal operations and iden- tified with many of the local enterprises of his adopted town. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Lena Derringer, of Philadelphia, and two daughters, Misses Mildred and Natalie. Four sisters also survive, viz: Mrs. M. 8. Mitchell, Mrs. Geo. F. Foot, Mrs. D. A. Irvin and Mrs. M. B. Tesson, all residing in Washington, D. C. ll i ll Two DEATHS IN ONE FAMILY.—Mis. Sara Parks, relict of George E. Parks, formerly a 1esident of Bellefonte, died at the bome of her daughter, Mrs. Jennie Fowler, in Roanoke, Va., on Tuesday night, as a result of a third stroke of paralysie. She had been making her home with her daughter for the past year and and in the fall suffered the first stroke, a second following in the winter, thep the last one a few days before her death. Deceased was 70 years, 4 months and 3 days old. She was a zealous christian woman, a member of the United Brethren church and a most devoted mother to the large family of children who survive her as follows : William H., John G., Alonzo, James, George, Porter and Mrs. Fowler. Her body was brought here yesterday and interment will be made in the Union cemetery today. William Parks, a promising young wan of 20 years, a son of John Parks, of Reno- vo, was in Roanoke with his father on a visit to his grandmother, when he contract- ed typhoid pneumonia and died there Sun- day morning. His body was brought here yesterday also and buried directly from the train. Though scattered to distant points now the family have many friends here who will sympathize with them in this dual afflic tion. l I I Miss FAIRY SHAFFER.—The death of Miss Fairy Shaffer, which occurred at the home of her grandfather, Wm. B. Shaffer, in Zion, last Friday night, was fraught with singular sadness. The young lady was only 16 vears old and had just com- pleted her course at the Hublershurg High school and gave promise of a useful future when she was stricken with acute inflam- mation of the brain. Her illness was of short duration, death having been pre- cipitated by an over-dose of medicine, which she took in mistake. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Shaffer,of Philadelphia, bus made her home with her grandparents to whom she was devoted. Interment was made at Zion on Tuesday. Four of her girl friends viz : Nell Rath- mell, Pearl Hoy, Anna Weaver and Edna Decker acted as honorary pall-bearers. The High school payed last respect by giving a handsome floral emblem and nearly all her schoolmates were in attendance at the fu- neral. I i I MILES WALKER.—Miles Walker, of Cato, died in the Lock Haven hospital on Sunday, April 24th. He had been a #uf- ferer several years, but his disease did not become serious until a few months before his death. He leaves a widow and five children, viz.; Ida, Toner, Bessie,Jerome and James. A daughter preceded him to the grave ten years ago. Deceased was a son of James and Rachel Walker, his mother surviving him at the age of 85 years. He was 52 years, 7 months and 7 days old.

Randolph Hoy, Lee Murray, Arthur Clay, William Rid- dle, George K. Smith, Ray Smith and J. H. Patterson, all of State College. eee Gp em emeneenenes PANSIES.—A walk past the home of W. R. Gainfort, on north Spring street, will convince anyone that Hecla Park isn’t the only place where that gentleman expends his energy in beautifying things. The last of the snow had scarcely disappeared ere the most exquisite pansies had hegun to bloom in his front yard, whic}, is certainly a beauty spot as compared with other gar- dens in Bellefonte. Mr. Gainfort had the flowers out all winter, but protected them so carefully that the first bit of warm sunshine brought them into bloom. : ee ——Deering binder twine and harvester repairs at the Potter-Hoy Hardware Co. Case ——Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Roberts, of Connellsville, are taking a most original wedding tour. They were married two years ago and bad just started on the ous- tomary tour when a telegram called the grecom back to his work, which had un- expectedly and provokingly gone wrong. He was promised the two weeks off at the first opportunity, but as that time showed no signs of ever coming he resigned his position last week and started : Fist they are going to spend some time at Mrs. Roberts old home at Spring Mills, this county—she was Miss Sue Long of that place—then they are going to the world’s fair, Mexico and California, to be gone several months. CounciL MEETS.—At the meeting of council Monday evening all the members were present but one. In truth the regular attendance of the members of council this vear bas been a matter of comments, for if shows that the gentlemen have their minds on the work they have to do. The business transacted was about as follows : Chairman Derstine of the Street commit- tee reported work in various parts of the town and asked for instructions with regard to repairing several crossings, notably the one over Spring street on the south side of High, which has needed it for a long time. The Water committee bad no report to make though the Special Water commis- tee asked council to take up the matter of leasing the new Phoenix station from Col. Reynolds. Upon motion of Mr. Fenlon the Finance committee was instructed to draw up a lease for submission to council. Dr. Kirk objected on the ground that the borough has not yet had time to try the station at even normal conditions. By a rare combination of circnmstances it isa fact that the new Phoenix pump has had a supply of water ever since it was started that has been far in excess of normal condi- tions. But the supply of water is a mat- ter of secondary consideration with this proposition as if confronts the borough now. According to the terms of the option the Phoenix plant is to generate so many horse-power and maintain it, whether that many horse power pumps enough water for the borough or not. So the only thing that is left for council to do now is to make such a lease as will give it a rebate for such time as the prescribed horse-power is not maintained during the year. Col. Reynolds offered to turn the entire Phoenix building over to the borough pro- vided it would pay the taxes amounting to about $300. As thereis a purchaser for the old Undine engine house on Logan street the matter of selling it was referred to the Fire and Police committee. ? The sewer proposition for the west ward was taken up, but later referred back to the committee for wore perfect completion. The citizens of the West ward and the Pennsylvania R. R. Co. offer to give $400 towards its completion. The other matter of importance taken up was the final settlement of the old tax duplicates that have heen 1n the hands of collector S. D. Ray for years. The Finance committee had been instructed to arrange terms for settlement and its recommenda- tion was approved by council. The amount outstanding was about $500. For it the committee agreed to take cash, credits and securities to the amount of $400.

Francis Speer was in the office at the time and told the youth that the First national bank, on which in- stitution the check was drawn, was just on the opposite corner and that he should go there to have it done. Upon leaving the office Mr. Speer noticed that the stranger did not go to the bank, thus aronsing suspicion that there was something wrong. Later, however, the same individual turned up at the bank with a check for $22.78 drawn by J. H. Reeser, of Snow Shoe. Assistant cashier Mose Montgomery suggested that Mr. Reeser be called for purposes of identifica- ion, but he had no sooner made the sug- gestion than the payee of the check beat a hasty retreat. This, of course, led to the belief that he was a forger and James Barn- hart and Panl Jones gave chase to capture him. The scamp ran into Crider’s Excbange and mounting to the top floor jumped ont onto an annex roof whence he ran down a flight of stairs and escaped through an alley. not being seen afterwards. The boy gave his name as Benner and said he was from Saxton, Pa. The forgery is said to have been a very clumsy one. #3%~The story about the flight through Crider’s 570 6 40 errrernnene $765 40 | Exchange is put in to tickle Francie Speer, who gave it to us as the truth. [It is like some others of Francie’s tales, however, more imagination than anything else, as no one from the bank ran aftec the hoy at all. i iin AFTER TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS.—In a house that was being torn down at Grampian, Clearfield county, a few days ago, was found an old bill offering a re- ward for a horse and buggy that was stolen from Jacok Wagner, of this county. It oc- curred in August, 1877, twenty-seven years ago, and though a little crumpled the ink is just as bright and the paper as clear as when it came off the press in the WATCH- MAN office. ; The incident is mentioned merely to show that when a job is done at this office it is always well done. ——— erent ——The old United Brethren church at Millheim is being demolished.

As 10 DANIEL BoONE.—The Millheim Journal is authority for the statement that Daniel Boone, the historie Kentuckian, was probably one of the pioneers of Penus valley. The statement is based on the fact that Abs Harter, of Millheim, has in his pos- session two blocks taken from a beech tree in George’s valley on which are cut the following inscriptions, ‘‘D. Boone, 1754’ and ‘‘D. Boone, Jan. '2, 1754, 1 Deer, 1 Large Elk.” Inasmuch as Abbott's life of Boone states that he was once a resident of Northamp- ton county and frequently made long ex- cursions into Central Pennsylvania wilds there might be some truth in the state- ment.
