at least a trial by some one or more of the
leading railroads of the country. Mr,
Bradley's patent, which consists of a frame-
work of iron or steel with wecoden blocks
as rail bearers, is possessed of considerable
more merit than the most of the metallic
ties that have been invented and tried for
years past but all of which were discarded
because of their extreme rigidity. For the
sake of the patentee we hope Mr. Harris
will be able to secure for the Bradley tie a
thorough test and that such a test will
show it as practicable.
DEATH OF REUBEN MARK MAGEE.—
The many friends of Mr. R. M. Magee were
shocked Wednesday morning when news
was received that he had died suddenly
late Tuesday afterncon, of apoplexy, at
his home, 3619 Powelton Avenue, Phila-
delphia. Though Mr. Magee had not
been in the best of health for several years
back no one anticipated such a sudden
ending to a life that has been characterized
from boyhood as one of the busiest. any
man could live. :
Deceased was 66 years of age and was a
son of James Magee who came from Ireland
to this country and settled in Brush valley,
where the subject of this sketch was horn.
Working bard every summer while yet a
boy he laid the foundation of a superior
education by attending the public schools
of the county in the winter time. When
but twenty-eight years of age, or in 1866,
he was elected county superintendent of
public schools which office he filled three
terms —nine years—being twice re-elected.
While county superintendent Mr. Magee
took up the study of Blackstone and came
to Bellefoute to read law in the office of
Alexander & Orvis. He was admitted to
the Centre county bar in April, 1874, and
at once entered into an active practice of
his profession. A number of years after
he entered into a copartuership with H.
Y. Stitzer, under the firm name of Stitzer
& Magee. When the field of law became
crowded Mr. Magee took up the insurance
business as aside line but he soon found
it more lucrative than the law business
and dropped the latter to a great extent to
devote his entire time to insurance. About
sixteen years ago Mr. Magee moved his
family to Philadelphia to accept the position
of State agent for the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society, later being made manager of
the same, which position he held at the
time of his death. He wag also a member
of the Underwriters’ Society. Mr. Magee
was an Odd Fellow for many years and
since his residence in Philadelphia bad
been vice-president of the Centre county
association organized there. In politics he
was an uncompromising democrat and was
vice-president of the Tariff Reform associa-
tion of Philadelphia. As a citizen and
neighbor Mr. Magee was typical of the
best, a man any neighborhood can ill
afford to lose.
Deceased is survived by a wife, who
prior to ber marriage was Mary H. Nolan,
of Tyrone, and three sons, William A.,
Forrest N. and Boyd H., all of Philadel-
phia. Also two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Bierly,
of Ohio, and Mrs. Jennie Harper, mother
of Mr. J. C. Harper, of Bellefonte. Funeral
the deceased in Philadelphia this (Friday )
evening after which the remains will be
brought to Bellefonte, arriving bere on the
9.28 train tomorrow morning. From the
train they will be taken to the Reformed
church where services will he held after
which interment will be made in the
Union cemetary.

ALVIN KINSLOE BURNED To DEATH. —
Alvin Kinsloe, one of the hest-known men
in and around Snow Shoe, a man 85 years
of age, a veteran of the civil war and a
cripple met a most horrible end Monday
night by being burned to death. Kinsloe
lived all alone in his small cabin on the
oantskirts of the village of Snow Shoe.
About twelve o'clock Monday night his
cabin was discovered to be on fire and
before any concerted effort could be made
to fight the flames the small building,
which was dry as tinder, was burned to
the groand.
It was the universal hope that Mr.
Kinsloe had escaped from his little home
in time to avoid cremation but a search
revealed the remains of the old man ly-
ing about fifty yards from where his
cabin had lately stood. The hody was
burned to a crisp and it was evident that
Kinsloe, while all ablaze, had crawled
that distance in the double hope of pat-
ting out the fire which was burning his
life out and of meeting with help from any
one who may have been attracted to the
spot by his burning cabin. When the body
was found life was already extinct. There
is no knowledge as to just how the fire was
started, but it is the general supposition
that Kinsloe was smoking in hed, as he
was an inveterate smoker, and that in
some way the bed clothes were set on fire
and the man, heing old and crippled, could
not get around quick enough to either put
ont the fire or make his escape from the
building in time to save himself. And
owing to the fire occuring at midnight
very few people knew anything about it
until the cabin was in ashes and the man’s
dead body found.
Mr. Kinsloe was one of the most familiar
figures in the Snow Shoe region and was
known throughout many parts of the
county, He wasa man of good intelli-
gence and exceptionally bright and witty.
Several years ago his limbs were so badly
frozen that both legs had to be amputat-
ed, since which time he made his
way about by means of canes. There is
a feeling of universal! regret in the com-
munity where helived over the sad ending
of the old man.

the result that he landed a speckle beauty
that might properly be termed a leviathan.
It measured twenty-six inches from tip to
tip, was about six inches deep through at
the widest part and its weight was estimat-
ed at from five tosix pounds. Mr. Ryan
caught a number of other very large ones
and put them in the big spring where they
bave since been viewed by many. There
is no d oubt hut that if ali the large trout
were removed from Spring creck there

McCARGAR GETS A LoviNG Cup.—
Last week J. 8. McCargar was at Pittsburg
and came back with a large silver ‘‘loving
cup’’ awarded him by the Pittsburg agency
of the Equitable Life Insurance Company
for securing the largest amount of husiness
during the month of September. The
trophy is on exhibition at Blair's jewelry
store, this place and is much admired,
Mac. bas a right to feel proud of it and we
congratulate him upon the success he has
made in his insurance work in this field.
He is one of the greatest insurance hustlers
in this vicinity. A

RoBBED OF $1,000.—Two weeks ago the
WATCHMAN made mention of the robbing
of the Eby brothers, Michael and Henry,
of Haines township. The Centre Reporter
is authority for the statement that they
were robbed of $1,000. The Eby’s are
farmers and live one mile northwest of
Woodward. They do not believe in banks
and all their wealth that is not invested in
real estate is in cash, hidden in various
places in their house. Both the men are
bachelors. Regarding their robbery they
say that as near as they can calculate it the
exact sum taken was about $1,000.
In the same room from which this cash
was taken, and near-by in a drawer, lay
undistarbed several thousand dollars, ac-
cording to a statement made by one of the
Ebys. The robbery was perpetrated while
the brothers were eating their evening
meal in a summer house. The one thous-
and dollar check dropped at the foot of the
stairs was discarded, it is supposed, rather
than lost in haste. The robbers left no
clue and everyone is at sea as to who they
were, where they came from or whither
they went.

A BAD MIx-up.—Sometime last Jan-
uary Mich Young, of this place, and Mrs.
Isaac Sager suddenly disappeared and rom-
or was ourrent at the time that they had
ran away together. No especial effort was
made to apprehend either until the night
before election when they reappeared to-
gether. Mr. Sager at once had a warrant
sworn out for the arrest of Young. The
latter was apprehended and was given a
bearing before Justice Keichline last Satur-
day night. When Young was brought in-
to the justice’s office he was searched and
a hig revolver and a black-jack were found
on him. Mrs. Sager was also searched and
and a big revolver found on her.
At the hearing it developed that Young
and Mrs. Sager were hoth at the same lum-
ber camp in the Allegheny mountains
where the woman is doing the cooking for
the lumbermen. After hearing all the evi-
dence Young was held in $500 bail for trial
at the November term of court. Mrs.
| Sager was not detained and, on Monday,
again departed for the lumber

Swartz, a son of John Swartz, of Milesburg,
was killed at Curwensville about 9 o'clock
Monday night. Swartz wasa flagman on
a freight train on the Tyrone & Clearfield
railroad and wae on his regular ran when
the accident occured. There was a car on
the siding the crew had to pick up and
they attempted to push it out on the main
In some
manner the pole slipped, struck Swartz on
the head, literally mashing it to a pulp.
His death was instantaneous.
Swartz wasabout 35 years of age. He
was married and lived at Curwensville
where his wife, who was formerly Miss
Bertie Way, of Snow Shoe Intersection,
with two small children survive. His
father, John Swartz. of Milesburg, and one
brother, Ambrose Swartz, of Bellefonte,

Two OPERATIONS. —Last week Misses
Mona Shultz and Ella Alters were admit-
ted to the Bellefonte hospital where each
underwent an operation for phosphoric
necrosis, a disease of the jaw-bone caused
by working in the phosphorous at the
matoh works, where Miss Shultz had been
employed prior to going with the Pennsyl-
vania telephone company as. substitute
operator and where Miss Alters fhas been
working for come time past.
Phosphoric necrosis is caused by the
phosphorous getting into a hollow or
decayed tooth. Medical works speak of it
as a very rare disease and one, once firmly
rooted very bard to combat. The opera-
tious on Miss Shultz and Miss Alters were
performed by dentist J. J. Kilpatrick,
assisted by Dr. Feidt. At this writing
both patients are getting along splendidly
and good hopes for a speedy and per-
manent recovery are entertained.

A SUNDAY BUTCHERING.—Sunday af
ternoon, about two o'clock, two Bellefonte
men were out driving and when going
‘through the Curtin narrows, from the
Jacksonville road to Curtin, they came
onto a party of four men, two women
and two , children just finishing the
butchering of what appeared to be
about a twensy-months-old steer. The
animal had evidently been caught and
thrown down, its throat cut, skinned and
the insides taken out. The latter had al-
ready been carried into the woods and
secreted and the party ready to make off
with the meat. The Bellefonte men did
not know anyone of the butchering party
and their looks were not enticing enough
to attempt to make their acquaintance.

will be remembered by many as the one
who so greatly pleased his audiences two
seasons ago while traveling with Miss
Ridgeway.
Miss Brewster is a western girl who has
an exceptional soprano voice and a most
pleasing stage presence, and we believe
she will simply captivate every audience
before which she appears.
Mr. Lambertson, pianist and accompanist
for the company, has recently returped
from studying abroad.

when Mr. Franklin T. Cole, of Lima, Ind. a
member of the class of 1900,and Miss Mary
M. Ewing were united in marriage by the
