SUDDEN DEATH OF WM. T. LEATHERS JR.--It is witha feeling of deep personal sorrow that we record the sudden death of Wm. T. Leathers Jr.. at his home at MS. Eagle on last Friday. He was such a fine man, so pleasant in all his relations at home and abroad, bouest and christian in his character and ambitious and honorable in his nature that we feel that the ways of the Master are truly inscrutable when men in the prime of their usefulness are called home. Mr. Leathers was a member of the firm of S. B. Leathers Sons operating handle factories at Mt. Eagle and Dickson, Tenn. Last Friday morning he arose in his usual health and was about the factory attending to business. About 8 o'clock it became necessary to go to the second story of the plant and it is supposed that in hastily running up the stairs he was over-come by heart failure, for the next seen of him was when he plunged out of a window head foremost into a paved cellar way fifteen feet below. He was dead when picked up. While the fall would probably have killed him it is thought that the over exertion caused a rupture in his heart and in the ef- fort to get his breath he reached the win- dow just as the vital cord snapped. Mr. Leathers was a son of S. B. Leathers and one of the best known business men in the county. In conjunction with bis handle business he was extensively engaged in the manufacture of stove pipe collars and roofing paints. He would have heen 48 years old had he lived until the 17th of September. His widow, who was Miss Etta Bathurst before her marriage, sur- vives with the following children : Tracey, Earl, Clarence, Rue and Gertrude, all at home. After a short service at his late home on Monday morning the body was taken to the Disciple church, of which he was a steadfast member, and the eulogium was delivered by the Rev. Delmont. The large concourse of people who were there was fitting testimonial of the high esteem in which he was held. I I li PRILO WARD. — The venerable Philo Ward passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wilscn I. Fleming, on Penn street, on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. His death was due to the in- firmities of age, as he would have been 86 years old had he lived until the 25th of this month. For years he had been an invalid, carefully administered to by his daughter and his death was a blessing ; inasmuch as he was ready and waiting for the summons. Mr. Ward was born in New York State and came to Bellefonte when a young man of twenty-one. That was sixty-five years ago and with his brother James he became engaged at building the old-fashioned threshing machines. Their shop was located where the parrish house of St. John’s Catholic'church now stands. He was mar- ried to Miss Hanna Hall, the eldest dangh- ter of Jesse Hall, of this place. She died three years ago. Their children are Mrs. Frank McCumpsey, of Renovo ; Mrs. Wilson I. Fleming, Mrs. J. C. Johnson, of this place. One son, George, died several years ago... In the days of his activities Mr. Ward was a very useful, progressive citizen and, more than that, he was a conscientious christian gentleman. Funeral services were held at the Flem- ing home Monday afternoon, by the Rev. Jobn Wood, of the Methodist church, and interment was made in the Union cemetery. Il 4 I MRs. SUSAN GRIMM WALTER.—Mis. Susan Walter died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. L. Aikens, near Miles- burg, Monday morning, July 11th. The deceased was horn Jan. 27th, 1826, and was consequently 78 years, 5 months and 14 days old. Almost her entire life has been spent in this community. Early in life she united with the Lutheran church at Madisonburg. Her husband preceded her to the spirit world several vears since. She is survived by two brothers. John and Adam, both of Kansas ; three sisters, Mrs. Mary Nestlerode, of Madisonburg ; Mrs. Wm. B. Shaffer, of Zion, and Mrs. Lena Hockman, of Hartleton ; one son, W. Scott Walter. of Milesburg ; three daughters, Mis. J. L. Aikens, of Milesburg ; Mrs. H. W. Stover, Germantown, and Mrs. Mary Walker, Yarnell. Funeral services were held at the Messiah charch on Wednesday morning at 11 o’closk and were conducted by Rev. A. C. Lathrop. Interment was made in the ad- joining cemetery. I i ll IsAAc MERRYMAN.—Another old sol- aier has answered the last roll call and the spirit of Isaac Merryman has fled to the bivounac of the dead. He died at the home of Barbara Krebs, in Ferguson Twp., on the 1st inst., at the age of 80 years. He was a cavalryman during the war and since that time had made his home in the upper end of the county, where he was a most familiar figure to everyone. Before he died he had a handsome mon- ument erected in the new cemetery at Pine Grove and paid off the bill of his brother Andrew who was at one time a charge on Ferguson Twp. His personal effects he bequeathed to his nieces and left Miss Krebs quite a neat sum. Revs. Aikens and Dunlop conducted services over his remains on the afternoon of the 3rd. I I ——Randolph, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Royer, of Ferguson Twp., died at their home on the 3rd inst., of a com- plication of troubles. He was a bright little fellow of 3 years and 3 months and Rev. Aikens officiated at his interment af Pine Hall on the 6th. a —m———_——m—medd/TY47>7]7/7bdb/d/mdmdmd/m mmm a4ma0ma04ma4m4m4m>3m>32m—m mm reer eet MRS. JosTAH JACKSON.—The commun-’ ity of State College, where she was known as a cultured, amiable woman of most at- tractive personality, was shocked beyond expression on the morning of the 20d, when a telegram from Madison, Wis., announced the tragic death of Mrs. Josiah Jackson near that place. She had been at Madison visiting her son, Dr. Dugald G. Jackson, a professor in Wisconsin University and on Friday even- ing they were enjoying a carriage ride on the Lake Mendota drive. Descending a very steep hill the horses became unmanage- able and started to run at full speed. In rounding a sharp turn at the bottom of the hill one of the rear wheels of the carriage was crushed throwing all of the occupants out except Mrs Jackson, who is supposed to have been struck about the temple by some of the irons of the carriage, causing her instant death. Mrs. Cravath, of Nash- ville, Tenn., a sister of Mrs. Jackson, suf- fered a compound fracture of her arm, Katharyn, Dr. Jackson’s 11 year old daunghter, bad her collar bone broken, jThe only two who escaped injury were Mis. Dugald Jackson and Hugh Reber, a son of Prof. L. E. Reber, of State College. Deceased was the widow of the late Josiah Jackson, professor of mathematics at The Pennsylvania State College. She was about 60 years old and a native of Chester county ; having been a member of the Price family one of the very prominent ones in the vicinity of Kennett Square. Most of the later years of her life have been spent at State College, where her hus- band died some years ago. Since that time her home had been with her son Prof. John Price Jackson. Two other sons Dr. Dugald and William, with their one sister, Mrs. Louis E. Reber, of State College, survive her. Her body was taken to Kennett Square for interment in the family burying ground there. I li ll 'SQUIRE REIFSNYDER FINALLY SuC- cuMBs.—’Squire J. H.

HoLD-UPS BECOMING FREQUENT.—I¢ is not often that high-waymen or foot-pads attempt to ply their villainous profession in this vicinity, but during the past week two attempted hold-ups have been reported to the police. Both of them occurred along the road leading past the base-ball grounds near ‘Collins Row,’”’ on the way to Coleville. Alf Smith and John Rote were going home when they were told to stop by two large colored men. They didn’t stop, however, and were given a good hot chase to William Fore’s home where they stopped and told their story. While there John Kreps, a night fireman at the electric light works, came along on his way to work. He was advised to leave his valuables at Fore’s and it was lncky he did so, because the same two fellows evidently tried to hold him up. Being fore-warned he took a good lead and got away from them. The police were un- able to locate anyone answering their description, as all parties claimed they were colored. On Monday night Mr. Battus, who has been here from Pittsburg, was stopped by four men at what is known as Conroy’s corner. He says the largest one in the quartet tore his collar and necktie off in the effort to subdue him and in the scuffle bis watch chain was broken. He was able to pull a revolver he carried and shot at the big fellow who immediately yelled : “My God, youn’ve killed me !”” He had no sooner said this than the other three open- ed fire on Battus who fled. eee AA. STUNNED BY LrGHINING.—During the heavy storm that passed over the Buffalo. Run valley Wednesday of last week Henry Norris and Miles Mattern were both badly shocked by a bolt of lightning. . They were hurrying to a stable to seek shelter from the storm when, juet as they reached it, there was a blinding flash. The bolt struck the stable, ran down a post and jumped out into the middle of the road, where it seemed to make a pool of fire as large as a tub. Then an explosion followed that scattered the fire in all direotions. . The men being scarcely eight feet away were badly stunned and their horses were knocked down. On the 1st, lightning struck George E. Rider’s new barn at Gatesburg, but little damage was done. The farm house on the Frank McFarlane farm at the Branch was struck one day last week. Part of the roof was torn off, the gable end damaged some, a little plastering ripped off, and the family of Dice Thomas, the occupants, badly shaken up, but not injured. > ——— ——Tailor-made suits reduced —at Aikens’. i in BAND CONCERTS AT HUNTERS PARK. —An effort is being made to bring Hun- ter’s park back into popularity and to that end the Bellefonte Central has engaged the Coleville band to give a concert and play for dancing in the pavilion one evening a week at the pretty little resort along the Buffalo ran. The park has been all trimmed up for the reception of visitors, the lake filled up again and while there was not a large crowd there on Tuesday evening, the opening night, there were enough visitors to enjoy it very much and enough to indicate that Hunters park can be made quite attractive. Until farther notice there will be a band concert and dance every Tuesday evening. A special train will leave the station ah 7 o'clock. 25c¢ts. the round trip. a, KILLED BY His OWN WAGON—William Michaels, formerly a resident of this place, wae killed at Hyner, in Clinton county, on Monday, by being run over by a bark wagon which he had been driving.
