——Republican prosperity seems to be

SHERMAN ‘“‘to the sea.” In addition to
closing three-fourths of the cotton mills in
New England during the past month, it
succeeded in the indefinite suspension, on
Wednesday of this week, of 1000 men em-
ployed in the railroad shops at Altoona ;
in knocking out of work over 2,000 others
along the Pennsylvania lines and in re-
ducing the working time along the P. &
E. roads, for shop and track men, from
nine to eight hours a day.
Sane and Safe.
Here are the lines concisely laid down
on which the Democratic party will appeal
- to the people at the coming election if it
shall follow the advice of John Sharp Wil-
liams:
A sane and business like revision and re-
duction of the tariff; the enforcement of the
laws upon the statute books affecting the
trusts and interstate commerce: reciprocity
in trade relations, especially with Canada; a
reduction of the governmental expenditures,
especially those of a warlike and jingolistic
character; the unveiling and punishment of
corruption in the departments; the cessation
of executive usurpation of legislative fune-
tions, whether by the/President, officers of
the Cabinet, or heads of bureaus or divisions;
an unalterable opposition to British colonial-
ism, whether exercised by Great Britain in the
eighteenth century or by the United States
in the Philippine Islands in the twentieth
century; in a word, such a course in connec-
tion with all matters which are actual issues
as to approximate as nearly as possible all at-
tempted legislation, and the Democratic
ideal of equality of opportunities and equal-
ity of burdens in the relationship of the in-
dividual to the Government.
Willing to Daddy it All
ere,
From the Johnstown Democrat.
In spite of the appalling raids on the
pational treasury, the monstrous postal
frauds, the shocking army scandals, the
disgraceful Indian land steals, the navy
grafts, the Panama grab and scores of other
pational disgraces, Republican state con-
vention after convention ‘‘most heartily
approves of the able administration of
Theodore Roosevelt.”” And thus do ras-
cals thrive.
Sharing Honors (3) With Philadelphia.
From the Sunbury Democrat.
Blythe Township in Schuylkill County
has added election frauds to its other mod-
ern improvements. This is the township
which had the distinction of having some
of its school directors before the court a
few months ago when they were denoune- |
ed by the Judge as boodlers of the worst
kind. It certainly is keeping up its end.
Hard Travel with Corpse.
St. Jouxs, N. F. May 16.—Tae sealing
steamer Aurora, which has been landing
machinery for the whale factory at Cape
Charles, Labrador, returned to Wesleyville,
100 miles north of here today, bringing
the body of Leonidas Hubbard, Jr., assist-
ant editor of “Outing,” who perished in the
interior of Labrador last October while on
an exploring expedition. The Aurora also
brought Hubbard’s companions, Dillon
Wallace. a lawyer, of New York, and
Frank Elhon a half-breed guide.
Wallace and Elhon, with Hubbard's
body in a coffin on a dog sled, left the
Hudson Bay Company’s trading post at
Northwess river on March 3, with a party
of half-breeds apd dogs conveying stores.
They proceeded south along the Labrador
coast, travel in the interior being impos-
sible, owing to lack of shelter from the
frequent fierce snowstorms. They journeyd
throngh all the fishing harbors along the
coast, finding shelter with the settlers, when
possible, and making from eight to ten
miles daily. The party reached Battie
Harbor; on the outer extremity of the
Straits of Belle Isle, Thursday last, after
traveling for over two months and cover-
ing a distance of 475 miles. Ninety-four
dogs were in ermmission during that
period.

ADDITIONAL MAIL FaciLities.—That
this place and the towns along the Bald
Eagle valley need and should have the
additional mail trains that are now being
applied for goes without saying. But a
something else that is needed as greatly by
the people of Bellefonte, and the public
generally, isa mail box at the station where
mail can be deposited at a reasonable time
before the departure of trains. Since the
manipulations of the postal facilities of
this place, that took the postoffice outside
of the free delivery limit and added some
$600.00 yearly to the expenses, and about
one and a-half hours to the delay in the
receipt of mails, the necessity for some ar-
rangement that would allow of a letter
written oue and a-halt hours before the de-
parture of mails getting into the mail bag
the same day has becomeapparent to every-
body. As we are now fixed,a letter written
down town after seven o'clock, unless
especially carried up to the postoffice, does
not get out of town until the next day;
although the 1ast mail leaves at 8:15, and
to insure its getting into the departing
mail it must be in the postoffice fifteen
minutes before closing time, which is eight
o’clock, or a full halt hours before the mail
leaves. By placing a box at the station
letters could be mailed up to the time of
the arrival of trains, and if mail clerks are
to be placed upon the 1:05 and the 8:15
trains, there ought to be no trouble at all
in securing this concession. They could
lift the mail deposited in the box or the
carrier of the mail from the postoffice to the
train oduld deliver it to the mail olerk just

where mail boxes are placed.

CoL. EDWARD J. PRUNER.—The news
of the death of Col. E. J. Pruner, of Ty-
rone, which occurred at his apartments in
that place on Saturday last, will come as a
surprise and shock to our readers generally.
To most f our people be was known as
well as though a citizen of the town. His

death was due to paralysis with which he
was stricken on Wednesday and from which
he never recovered consciousness, sinking
steadily until the’end came at 1:15 on Sat-

Col. Pruner was the son of David I. and
Sarah (Denny) Pruner, and was born in
this place on the 22nd of February, 1836.

age of 17 began his business life as a clerk
in Bellefonte. Two yeas later he accepted
a position in the establishment of Pomeroy,
Lincoln and Company, of Philadelphia,
where he remained until 1857, when he
formed a partnership with Jacob Burley,
of Tyrone, moving to that place, and mak-
ing it his residence until the time of his
death. There he engaged in a general
mercantile and lumber business under the
firm name of Pruner & Burley. Securing
large and profitable contracts for lumber
from the United States government and
the Pennsylvania railroad, this branch of
their business became and continued very

of thas of councilman he ever held, and at

was frequent in attendance and from whom

HAMILTON OTTO. — One of the most
sndden deaths that has ever startled the
people of this community was that of Mr*
Hamilton Otto, which occurred at his home
on east Lamb street, at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning, from an attack of heart-failure.
Several months ago Mr. Otto had an attack
of the grip, since which time his heart’s
action bad not heen as strong as it should.
And yes there was no apprehension of so
sudden a termination of life.’ Wednesday
evening Mr. Otto felt well’ as usual, so
well, in fact, that he stayed at his place of
business and insisted on his children at
tending the High school alumui reception
in the armory. About 9 o’clock he felt'a
slight pain as the heart, which grew slowly
worse until 10 o’clock, he closed his store
and supported by James: Lose, one of his
workmen, started for home. : He grew so
weak on the way home that twice he want-
ed to stop, hut young Lose induced him to
keep moving. They arrived home a few
minutes past 10. Lose assisted him up the
stairs to his room, opened the door and
just as Mr. Otto went to step across the
threshold, he fell forward, completely ex-
hausted. Dr. Hayes was at once sum-
moned and as soon as he saw the gravity of
the case he called in Drs. Sebring and
Feids. - The three physicians worked faith-
tally the greater part of the night, and to
wards morning Mr. Otto seemed a little
better. Yesterday morning Dr. Seibert
was summoned in consultation but no
medical skill could avail and death oc-
curred at 9 o’clock. :
Hamilton Otto was a son of Levi and
Mary Wright Otto. and was born in Bed-
ford county August 27th, 1854. He came
to Bellefonte thirty-one years ago and wert
to making cigars. About twenty years ago
he embarked in the business of manufac-
turing cigars for himself and opened up
the store under the First National bank,
where he continued until his death. On
June 19th, 1878, he was united in mar-
riage with Miss Arvilla Cowdrick, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Morris Cowdrick.
His wife with five children, , Morris, Mrs.
Edith Smith, of Johnstown ; Harry, Mable
and Helen survive. There is also one
brother, F. W. Otto, of Johnstown, and a
sister, Mrs. Lovenia Hoover, of New Paris,
Bzdford county.
Deceased was a member of the Belle-
fonte Lodge, No. 268, Free and Accepted
Masons. In his business and in his deal-
ings with his fellowmen, Mr. Otto was the
very personification of strict integrity.
Quiet and unassuming, he was that man-
ner of man that never spoke but a kind
word for all. His death is a loss which
will be keenly felt in Bellefonte. For his
family, on whom the blow falls with
trebled force, there can be only a feeling of
the deepest sympathy. And even the more
so, because Mrs. Otto, herself, bas just
arisen from a bed of sickness.
A$ this writing no definite arrangements
have been made for the funeral, though ib
will likely be Sunday afternoon.
