one of the best known farmers in Bald
Eagle valley, died at his home in Boggs
township, about a mile east of Milesburg,
at 5 o’clock Wednesday evening, of dropsy.
‘He had been ailing for more than a year.
All last summer he was affected much of
the time and was able to do but very little
of his farm work. A$ times he would grow
much better and his friends hoped that the
disease had been successfully combatted
only to have it recur again in a more ag-
gravated stage. He was confined to the
house most of the winter season.
Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John
Leyman, of Milesburg and was aged about
62 years. Most of his early life was spent
in the coal and oil regions until about
twenty years ago when he returned to this
county and went to farming in Boggs town-
ship, where he has lived ever since. In
politics Mr. Leyman was a demoorat, one
of the throughbreds, and a number of years
ago was a candidate for the nomination for
sheriff. Though defeated in the convention
he was alwaye staunch and true to the
party and the ticket nominated. As a
citizen he was whole-souled and progressive
but it was possibly asa neighbor and friend
that he was esteemed the most. Open-
hearted, generous and charitable he was at
all times a friend of those in need, and his
death means a loss to that community as
well as the county in general that will be
bard to make up.
He is survived by his wife and one child,
Daniel Hartman Hastings Leyman. Also
five brothers and one sister, as follows
F. F. Leyman, of Titusville; W. H., Brad-

THEIR TIME IS SHORT.—Less than two
weeks intervene until the day set for the
execution of Green and Dillen and that
time will pass around only too quickly for
the condemned men. And as the time
draws nearer they are beginning to realize
their awfal fate and exhibit more signs of
apprehension over their coming doom.
Especially is this the case with Dillen, who,
though he has made a profession of religion
is more or less downcast all the time.
Green bears up better under the terrible
mental strain, but even he has lost much
of his self-possessed, devil-may-care de-
meanor.
On Sunday special Easter day song serv-
ice was held in the jail, mostly in the in-
terest of the condemned men. There were
present Rev. Crittenden, Rev. Long, of
Harrisburg; C. C. Shuey, J. P. Smith,
John Bullock and James R. Hughes. They
all assembled on the landing on the second
floor, immediately outside the door of the
female department in which Green and
Dillen ate incarcerated. The service con-
sisted entirely in singing a number of the
good old-fashioned, comforting songs, with
the Lord’s prayer by Rev. Crittenden.
Both the condemned men took a deep in-
terest in the meeting while Dillen joined
in the singing, in which most of the other
prisoners participated.
Following the services the visitors were
permitted to shake hands with the two men
and converse with them. Both talked
willingly enough but Green was the more
free and easy of the two. He inquired as
to what was going on about the town, told
of his life in the jail and that he had eaten
seven eggs for his Easter breakfast. He
also spoke quite affectionately of his grand-
father, Christopher Shope, who was buried
in Milesburg that afternoon.
Of late there is heard many expressions
both pro and con as Yo whether the men
ought to be banged or not, and while it is
a terrible thing to contemplate, let alone
carry out, it is simply executing the
mandate of the law. The two men have
been given every possible assistance by
their counsel and the verdict at every step
bas been practically unanimous again 86
them. The men are now being kept under
a strict death-watch, though there is not
much likelihood of either of them attempt-
ing todo away with himself. They are
located in opposite cells with a watchman
constantly on guard in the narrow corridor
between. In daytime John Trafford is on
duty and at night the watchman is Mr.
Shreffler. The prisoners are now given
every somfort and as kind treatment as the
law will allow.
Sheriff Taylor is now more than ever be-
fore beginning to realize the unpleasant
duty in front of him. On Monday he had
the old gallows on which Hopkins and
Andrews were hung, taken down from its
resting place in the stable loft and exam-
ined. While parts of the old instrumens
of death may be available for mse in the
construction of the gallows on which Green
and Dillen will hang, the greater part will
have to be newly built. As this writing it
is not known just who will be employed to
build she gallows, which will he put up in
the southeast corner of the jail yard, on the
same spot where the old gallows was used
fifteen years ago.
“i
TRAMPS WANTED.—Burgess W.. Har-
rison Walker desires the fact announced
that be wants tramps. Last spring he
tried the experiment of hobbling all the
tramps caught in the town with ball and
‘chain and compelling them to clean up the
streets of the town. The experiment prov-
ed a success. The streets were cleaned and
the town was rid of hobos. This spring
they have already become quite numerous
in this vicinity and the burgess has decided
to take them all in, hitch them to a ball
and chain and pot only have the streets
cleaned up but use them in digging and
filling up ditches required by the water de-
partment in putting down new pipe. So,
come along, all the hobos who care $0. Yon
will find a warm welcome awaiting you in
Bellefonte borough, as the police have been
instructed to be exceptionally vigilant and
in nowise neglect their duty as a reception
committee.
STALLION PURCHASED.— ‘‘Voltigeur,”
the imported French Percheron gray stal-
lion, brought to this county several weeks
ago from the Hartman stock farm, near
Columbus, Ohio, by Mr. I. N. Smeck, was
purchased last week by a number of farm-
ers of College, Ferguson, Patton and Harris
townships, who have organized the State
College Horse company. The farmers in-
terested are F. H. Clemson, F. W. Krum-
rine, Adam Kramrine, A. F. Markel, Geo.
B. Thompson, W. C. Meyer, B. D. Thomas,
John H. Breon, E. W. Hess, Newton E.
Hess, and Charles H. Foster. It is the
company’s present intention to exhibit
their stallion at the Centre county fair next
fall.
THEY ELOPED.—David Sweely and Miss
Vivian Berry, daughter of Mr. and Mis.
W. Frank Berry, both of Beech Creek,
eloped to New York last week where they
were married in Corning, on Thursday.
Both the young people are but 20 years old
and their parents thought them too young
to marry, so they took matters in their own
hands. Miss Berry came to Milesburg,
Tuesday afternoon, ostensibly to visit rela-
tives. She came to Bellefonte and did
some shopping and Wednesday morning
went east on the 9:32 train. She was join-
ed at Beech Creek by young Sweely, the
two going direct to Corning, where they
were married next morning. They have
returned home and were forgiven.

Orvis Peters, of Unionville, died last Fri-
day and was buried on Sunday.
