MEMORIAL DAY IN BELLEFONTE AND
NEARBY TownNs.—Not for years has na-
ture found it in her hears to give the old
soldiers a Memorial day without rain and
Monday was no exception.” While the wet
weather did not materially interfere with
the services here it put quite a damper on
them at many places.
In Bellefonte the usual Memorial day pa-
rade made up of the Coleville band, Co. B,
Logan Engine Co., and Gregg post moved
at about 2 o’clock. At the Union ceme-
tery the services were in charge of Com-
mander Emanuel Noll, of Gregg post, who
directed the fcrmal decoration of the graves,
at the conclusion of which Gen. James A.
Beaver delivered the oration of the day. It
was the first time he had ever spoken to
his comrades of Gregg post on such an oc-
casion and his address was one such as they
have seldom heard.
Special services were held at the graves
of Govs. Cartin and Hastings. On the for-
mer a rose bush sent by the ladies auxili-
ary of Philadelphia G. A. R.,as well as the
usual Maltese cross of immortels sent by
the Philadelphia Reserve corps had been
planted. Col. Jas. P. Coburn spoke at
Curtin’s grave. Col. J. L. Spangler paid
the tribute to his departed friend and busi-
ness associate, Governor Hastings.
ZION, HUBLERSBURG AND SNYDERTOWN.
Saturday, May 28th, was observed as
Memorial day at Zion, Hublersburg and
Snydertown for the reason that many mem-
bers of Gregg post 95 and Milesbarg post
261 could not take part on the regular Mem-
orial day when they would have to he at
home.
About fifteen members from 261 and six-
teen from 95 arrived in Zion at 10 a. m.
The Zion band was on band at the appoint-
ed time and also the Lutheran Sunday
school with Mr. Cole, the efficient superin-
tendent, at the head. Col. Austin Curtin
had charge of the Grand Army exercises
and was assisted by commander Samuel B.
Miller, of 95, Wm. Eminhizer, chaplain
Wilson and comrade Derr, of post 261.
Then came the singing by a choir of the
Sunday school, Miss Stein organist. Sev-
eral appropriate pieces were sung and a
young lady, Miss Anna Rockey, in good
voice recited Mr. Lincoln’s Gettysburg ad-
dress. W. Harrison Walker, burgess of
Bellefonte, was introduced by the com-
mander and made a most excellent address.
The line of march was then taken to Hub-
lersburg; the band accompanying the com.
rades.
After an exceilent dinner given by dif-
ferent citizens of the town the assembly was
blown and the line formed in front of the
hotel with the Evangelical Sunday school
and citizens a march was taken to the cem-
eteries. A little daughter of David Whit-
man recited Lincoln’s address. All the exer-
cises being closed in the cemetery after dec-
orating the graves the parade repaired to
the Evangelical church which was filled al-
most to overflowing by comrades and citi-
zens and after some appropriate hymns
were sung by a ohoir and Rev. Mr. Crow,
of the Reformed church, made a prayer.
Rev. Mr. Price, of the Evangelical church,
was introduced by the commander as an
old soldier. He made a most excellent and
welcome address, being perfectly able to
speak from experience. After more sing-
ing and being dismissed by the benediction
by Rev. Mr. Crow the whole line again re-
sumed the march and about 4 p. m. reach-
ed Snydertown, 3 miles further to the east.
At Snydertown the services were prac-
tically the same as they had been at the
other places, except that Mr. Martin re-
cited Lincoln’s memorable address and Miss
Helen Beck read a poem most peculiarly
appropriate to the occasion. It was a beaun-
tiful selection. The graves were formally
decorated and then the commander thank-
ed the people of the community for their
courtesy and evidence of patriotic loyalty,
making special mention of Mr. Cole, of
Zion; David Whitman, Andrew Kramer
and John H. Beck, whose interets had
made the services 0 much of a success.
MILESBURG AND VICINITY.
On Sunday May 29th, the annual me-
morial services were held by post 261 in
the Methodist church at Milesburg. The
Odd Fellows and Citizen's Fire Co. joined
the old soldiers in the service and all other
denominations in the town closed their
churches for it.
The fi1st exercise was the regular G. A.
R. service for the dead. It was couducted
by Colonel Curtin and the three veterans
who died during the year were given their
proper mede of praise. They were Israel
Comer, I. Watson Lucas and Simon Par-
sons. Chaplain Wilson prayed and the re-
sponses were made by the veterans. Com-
rade Else read the scripture lesson and
after a selection by a special choir under
Mr. L. T. Eddy Rev. Mr. Piper began his
discourse. Ii was taken from Judges.
The sermon was both powerful and practic-
al. At the conclusion of the service taps
were sounded by Mr. Wetzler.
Memorial day proper was observed in
the usual way. Both the old and new
cemeteries at Milesburg, the Advent ceme-
tery and the cemeteries at Curtin’s were
visited and the graves of the soldiers gar-
landed with flowers.

His MiLiTARY ReEcorD HAs BEEN
FouND.—Ever since the death of the late
Judge John H. Orvis the historians of
Gregg post have been at their wits end to
discover some record of his service during
the Civil war. While most of the veterans
had personal knowledge of tbe Judge’s
having enlisted in the three month’s serv-
ice and also knew that he rose to the rank
of a lieutenant no one could find any rec-
ord showing him to have been connected
with any branch of the service.
A few days ago Gen. John I. Curtin was
sitting in the office of the Bush house talk-
ing to Mr. Frank P. Bible. As it was just
a short time before Memorial day the sol-
dier dead naturally came up as a topic of
conversation and it was then that Gen.
Curtin expressed his regret at heing utterly
at a loss to understand how Orvis had
served in the war and yet left no official
record of his service.
This remark recalled a conversation that
Mr. Bible had had with the Judge at least
twenty years before, when the latter had
said : ‘Frank, as a soldier, I will pass
out unhonored, unmourned and unsung,
for they bave me on the records as John
H. Davis.”” Mr. Bible had never thought
of it until that moment when Gen. Curtin
brought the matter up with such little
hope of getting a solution of is.
The gentlemen later hunted up Bates’
history and there, sure enough, was John
H. Davis, 2nd Serg., Co. B, 11th Pa.,
Vols., enlisted from Lock Haven, which
was Judge Orvis’ home at that time.
It can be seen very readily how the tran-
scribing clerks might have mistaken the
first two letters of Orvis for Da. In fact by
writing the name rapidly the result will
make this very apparent.

ANOTHER MAN KILLED BY THE TROL-
LEYS NEAR PHILIPSBURG—Geo. Stephens,
of Winburne, was killed at Wittenhurg
crossing, near Hawk Run, by a trolley car
on Monday night. He and his wife and
two children bad spent the day with his
parents at Hawk Run.
When it came time for them to go home
that night the children were both so sleepy
that Mrs. Stephens decided to remain until
morning. Mr. Stephens started for the
trolley alone. Arriving at the crossing too
late for the 11 o'clock car it is supposed
that he sat down on the ties to wait for the
next one and feel asleep.
At the orossing there is a sharp curve
and a heavy grade and while mortorman
Charley Smith saw the man lying across
the rails he could not get his car stopped
before the wheels bad passed over him,
mangling him so that he died almost in-
| stantly. Stephens was 26 years old.

A LittLE Boy ILosT.—The vicinity of
Rock Springs was thrown into a fever of
excitement last Friday when it became
noised abroad that 6 year old Randall Ross-
man was lost somewhere in the moantains.
In the morning he bad gone with his
father to the woods and shortly afterwards
started back home, a distance of about a
mile and a-half. In some way he took the
wrong course and wandered so far away
from home that late in the afternoon A.
S. Walker, who was driving to Boalsburg,
“| found him asleep in a fence corner at least
ten miles away from his home.
Meanwhile exoitement was running high
about the child’s home and posses to search
for him were just being organized when at
dark Mr. Walker appeared with the miss-
ing boy.
AN ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE.—While driv-
ing through a lonely part of the road from
Swartz’s sawmill to Aaronsburg, last Fri-
day evening, about 9:30 o'clock, Mamie
Crouse, an adopted daughter of J. Hol.
Crouse, of the latter place, was accosted by
two men who commanded her to stop.
Refusing to respond to their demand, one
of them jumped over the wheel and under-
took to drag her from the wagon, but her
screams frightened the horse into a run
and he was thrown off.
Miss Crouse recognized her assailants
and info.mation has been made against
Harry Rider, of Coburn, and ‘‘Peacock’’
Hoover. The former bas made a confes-
sion in which he admits that their object
was assault.

A COPPERHEAD IN His FEED Box.
—When Ed. Williams, of Lemont, went to
his stable to feed his horses Monday morn-
ing he opened his chop hox and picked up
tbe measure used in lifting the feed. That
instant something struck the measure from
the under side; knocking it out of his
hands. He was startled for a moment, but
soon discovered the cause to be a three foot
yellow copperhead snake that was lying
half concealed in the chop.
It was evident that the snake was there
watching for rats or mice, but the fact that
it was there should be a warning to every-
one to be careful in reaching around places
where snakes might be able to conceal
themselves.
