DEATH OF MOSES MONTGOMERY.—The
great uncertainty of life was never more
forcihly demonstrated than in the sudden
and deplorable death of Mr. Moses Mont-
gomery, on Wednesday morning. Ove of
the best known and most familiar’ figures
in Bellefonte;the picture of mature robust,
manhood, the grim reaper marked him for
his own in a space of time so short that
many of his friends did not even know he
was sick.
For six weeks or more Mr. Montgomery
had been ailing to a certain extent, with
what he believed to be bowel trouble. On
Monday, October 16th, he was at his desk
in the Fires National hank, as usual, bat
that evening complained of severe pain in
the bowels and went home early in the
hope that the morrow would bring him re-
lief. Toesday morning he was no better
and a physician was sent for. Even then
his condition was not considered serious
and it was not until Friday morning, when
there was a consultation of physiciane, that
the alarming fact was disclosed that he
was a viotim of appendicitis. His condi-
tion was such that it was deemed bess to
take him to the Bellefonte hospital, which
was done Friday morning. All attempts
to break up or spread the disease proved
futile and Saturday morning it became
plainly evident that the only hope of sav-
ing his life. was by an operation. The
German hospital in Philadelphia was call-
ed by telephone and Dr. J. A: Deaver ask-
ed to come to Bellefonte and perform the
operation. Not able to come himself he
sent his brother, Dr. Harry Deaver, who
arrived here on the night train and the
operation was performed between 10 and
11 o’clock Saturday night. For forty-eight
hours Mr. Montgomery's condition was
such as to warrant she hope of his recovery
but Tuesday he grew worse and continued
to do so until his death at 11.07 o'clock
Wednesday morning. The operation itself
was a succes, his death heing Sausel by
niemio poisoning.
Deceased was a son of John and Catba-
rine Montgomery and was born in Belle:
fonte, in a bouse on the site of the present
Cartin rexidence, October 5th, 1845, thus
making his age 60 years and 20 days. His
education was received in the public
schools of that day and when a young man
in his teens he entered the law office of
Mec Allister & Beaver as a clerk. Here-
mained there but a year or so, until the
breaking out of the waraud the enlisting
of Gen. Beaver in the army, when he went
into the bank of Humes, MoAllister, Hale
& Co. as a clerk in the spring of 1862.
When the above bank was merged into the
First National bank in 1864 Mr. Montgom-
ery was made bookkeeper, a position he
held until his death, with the additional
responsibility that some five years ago he
was made assistant cashier of the bank. In
his work in the bank he was an expert,
with {ew equals and no superior.
Io his everyday life Mr. Montgomery
was a ‘unique character. A member of one
of the best known and most prominent
families in Bellefonte, in a position to com-
mand pnblic and political favors he wag
too retiring and unassuming to seek or
even accept anythiog of the kind. He was
content at all times to do the work he had
in hand withoas seeking for any more ad.
vantageouns preferment. In a business way
he was a wise counselor and his adviee was
freqaently songht by his many friends.
He was a man respected and admired by
all who knew him. He was exceptionally
charitable to the shortcomings of ethers
while be was a liberal contributor to every
worthy cause. His usually familiar pres-
ence will be missed as wueh, if nos more,
than any man in Bellefonte.
Mr. Montgomery never married but
lived at the old homestead on Allegheny
street, supporting his mother until
her death and then keeping up the
home for his niece and nephew, the Bul-
lock ehildren. Of a family of eight ochil-
dren only three now survive, namely: W.
W. Montgomery, postmaster of Bellefonte;
C. F., the clothier, and Capt. Henry Mont-
gomery. Deceased was a member of the
Episcopal church and Rev, George Israel
Brown will officiate at the funeral, which
will be held from the house to-morrow
afternoon at 2 o’clock. Interment will be
made in the Montgomery lot in the Union
cemetery.

A FATAL SHOOTING AFFAIR. — Ralph
M. Williams is dead and Bert Delige
(colored) is in the Bellefonte jail as the
result of a shooting affair at Scotia, which
is claimed by the latter to have been pure-
ly accidental. ©
The shooting occurred just after noon,
last Friday. Delige was starting out on a
hunting trip in the adjoining woods. As
be passed the school house where a num-
ber of boys were playing young Williams
hailed him, saying: ‘‘Wait a minute, I
want to tell you something.’’ He started
toward him and as he did so Delige threw
his gun off his shoulder, with the declara-
tion: ‘‘Look out, or I’ll shoot you.”
Hardly bad the words passed his lips until
the gun was discharged and the boy fell to
the ground, the charge of shot tearing away
the calf of one leg while some buried them-
selves in the other leg and in the body.
Delige assisted in carrying the boy toa
physicians office where the wound was
dressed. He had lost considerable blood
before this was accomplished and it was
advised that he be taken to the Altoona
hospital. His father started for Altoona
with him but the boy continned to grow
weaker and died ou the train at Bellwood.
News of his death was telephoned to
Scotia and to the authorities here and a
warrant was sworn out for the arrest of
Delige, who made no astempt to escape
hut was taken into custody early Saturday
morning, brought here and lodged ip jail.
Though be claims that the accident was
purely accidental Delige is at least guilty
of involuntary manslaughter for so careless-
ly and wantonly handling firearms. As
the best he» bears an uusavory reputation
as he was convicted at the Angust term of
court, 1900, for shooting at John Haugh,
merchant at Scotia, the bullet going through
his hat, for which he was sentenced to the
reformatory. Since that time he has served
time in the Centre county jail for assault
and battery.
Ralph N. Williams, the victim, was the
gon of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Williams
and was past thirteen years of age. He
was a bright, inoffensive boy, well liked
by all his companions. The hody was pre-
pared for burial by undertaker Lafferty, in
Altoona, the remains being brought to
Scotia, Saturday afsernoon, the funeral
being held on Sunday.
YouNG—Goss. — George A. Young, of
this place, a demonstrator for the National
Bi=cuit company, and Miss Anna E , only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Guss, of
Philipsburg, were quietly married at the
M. E. paisonage, Morrisdale Mines, Sat-
urday evening, September 30th, by Rev.
R. W. Runyan. The wedding was kept
a secret as long as possible but it fin-
ally leaked out and the young people
are now receiving the congratulations of
their friends. Mr. and Mrs. Young arrived
in Bellefonte, October 14th, and went to
the home of the former’s mother and broth-
er, L. H. Young, on Spring street, where
the groom has made his home for some
months past.
The bride is one of Philipsburg’s most
| popular young ladies and is am expert

——Gottlieb Haag returned, last Satur-
day.from a three weeks visit with his sister
in Warrensburg, Mo. He bad not seen her
for twenty nine years and did nos tell her
that he would visit her, but stepped in on
her as an unknown caller. She did nos
recognize him and when he made himself
known it may be easily imagined how de-
lighted she was. The following notice of
bim appeared in a Leavenworth, Kansas,
paper:
Mr. Gottlieb Haag, a sturdy and wealthy
German citizen, of Bellefoute, Pa., and who
is a spry old gentleman of 76 years, and who
was never west of the Pennsylvania line be-
fore in his life, is making a couple weeks’
visit with his only sister, at Warrensburg,
Mo. He is taking in a few of the western
.cities and spent a couple of days with neph-
ew, G. H. Sheidenberger, of the Great West-
ern Manufacturing company, in this city,
this week. Mr. Haag was fairly delighted
with his visit here, especially at Fort Leav-
enwoith and the Soldiers’ Home. He also
spoke of the wonders of the western metrop-
olis, Kansas City; saying he had no idea of
the great business centre.

—It seems strange that.often in seeking an ex.
