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.

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.

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.

——Randolph, the little son of Mr. and
Mrs. Elmer Royer, of Ferguson Twp., died

Rev. Aikens officiated at his interment af

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.

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.

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.

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
