DEATH OF S. CAMERON BURNSIDE.—
The announcement Monday of the death of
S. Cameron Burnside, at his home on
Spruce street, Philadelphia, at 1 o’clock
Sanday afternoon, came with quite a shock
to his many friends in this place. It was
known that Mr. Burnside was afflicted
with Bright's disease and a complication of
other organic troubles from which he had
suffered the past year or more, bus he had
spent so much time at Atlantic City and in
the mountains that of late his health seem-
ed improved and consequently his death
was very unexpected.
Deceased was born in Bellefonte Febia-
ary 4th, 1849,thus making his age 56 years,
‘9 months and 15 days. He was the eldest
son of the late Judge James Burnside and a
grandson of Hon. Thos. Burnside of the Su-
preme court, as well as a grandson cf the
late Simon Cameron. His early education
was acquired in the private school taught
by Miss Mollie Petriken after which he
went to school three years at Geneva,
Switzerland. Upon his return he entered
the preparatory school (Edge Hill) at
Princeton, N. J., finally graduating from
Princeton University. Until his death he
was a member of the Princeton club and
was well known for bis loyalty to his alma
mater and his enthusiastic support of
Princeton athletics.
Through the influence of Simon Cam-
eron he was appointed by President Grant
a paymaster in the United States navy with
the r1ank of Commander, and served on
b oard the flagship Tennessee in 1873, see-
ing gervice during the troublesome times
in Chinese waters.
On his retiring from the U. S. naval. ser-
vice he was united in mariage, November
16th, 1882, with Miss Lucinda A. Lauth of
Howard. Following close upon his mar-
riage he moved to Philadelphia and enter-
ed into the services of the city, at the time
of his death heing a member of the official
sta ff of the City Controller.
Th ough for the past quarter of a century
the Burnsides made their home in Phila-
delphia they never lost their warm feeling
for Bellefonte and Centre county and every
summer they would spend weeks and per-
haps months here and on their farm. = Mr.
Burnside was a man known throughout the
entire State and one extremely popular.
Big hearted, charitable, kind and jovial he
was a man who made friends wherever he
went and retained them through his mag-
netic presence. Among his warm personal
friends was the late ‘‘Chris”’ Magee and
others of e qual prominecce. He is sarviv-
ed by his wife, their adopted daughter,
Rachael, and one sister, Mrs. 8S. H. Chau-
venet.
Funeral services were held at 7 o’clock
Wednesday morning after which the re-
mains were brought to this place, arriving
here on the 4.25 train over the Lewisharg
and Tyrone railroad, being taken to he
Cath olic church where brief services where
held after which they were conveyed to
the Union cemetery where interment was
made in the old Burnside family lo.

DEATH OF J. FEARON MANN.—Another
man well known to many Centre conntians
and who for almost a score of years was
p:ominently identified with one of its lead-
ing manufactories has passed into the great
beyond, in the person of J. Fearon Mann,
who died at his home in Lewistown, at
7.15 o'clock Wednesday morning. Mr.
Mann, who was in his 65th year, had not
been in good health for a number of years
and his death was undonbtedly bastened
by a fall be sustained from a second story
window of his home some time ago.
Deceased was born at Lewistown where
he spent the early part of his life. He
came to Bellefonte about the year 1875 and
took charge of the axe works at Axe Mann,
in which position he remained until the
plant was sold out to the trust in 1888. Mr.
Mann was then put in charge as superin-
tendent but the works were only operated
a short time after that then closed down.
When the Mann family moved to Belle-
fonte he purchased from James Milliken
the house on Allegheny street now owned
by Mrs. Harris, in which they lived until
their return to Lewistown in the early
nineties, when the home was soid.
He is survived by his wife and four chil-
dren, namely: Harris, Anna, Harriet and
Ralph. The funeral will be held at 1.30
o’clcek this afternoon,
VALLANCE—William C. Vallance, son
of Mr. and Mrs. William T. Vallance, of
east Lamb street, was found dead in the
yard in front of the house of Robert Hind,
at Chester Hill, about 8 o'clock Saturday
night. Vallance was a hostler and last
Wednesday took a team of horses to Phil-
ipsburg for the Platt—Barber company.
From Philipsburg he went to Wynburne
to visit his sisters, returning to the former
place Saturday afternoon. With a couple
other men he went to the Hind house early
in the eveninz and about 7 o’clock started
out of the house intending to return to
town. He evidently made a misstep and
fell from the porch, as he was found in the
yard dead about 8 o’clock, death evidently
being due to heart trouble.
Deceased was born in Hountzdale and was
27 years of age. In addition to his parents
he ie survived by the following brothers
and sisters : Mrs. Daniel Bloom and Mrs.
Samuel Conway, of Wynburnoe; Sarah and
Elizabeth, of Williamsport; James, Mar-
garet, John and Harry, at home.
The funeral was held at 10 o’clock, Tues-
day morning, from the Catholic church;
interment in the Catholic cemetery.

Mary O’Leary, of tbis place, died at her
home in Pittsburg, Monday afternoon,
after a brief illness.
Murray, one of the hest known and highly
respected women of Centre Hall, fell down
stairs at her home in that place, some time
between five and six o’clock, last Friday
afternoon, sustaining a broken neck, death
undoubtedly ensming instantly. No per-
son saw the accident nor was there any one
in the house when it ocourred. Her hus-
band, whe is a druggist, went home at 6
o’clock for sapper, the usual hour. His
wife was not around and failed to respond
to his call. In some alarm he called in a
couple neighbors who instituted a search.
No trace of the woman could be found in
the lower rooms of the house and one of
the neighbor women opened the stair door
leading to the second floor when the dead
body of Mrs. Murray rolled out into the
room. A physician was at once summoned
but the woman had been dead some little
time and an examination showed that ber
neck was broken; while an investigation
indicated the faot that she had tripped on a
piece of carpet and had fallen headlong
down stairs, with the above deplorable re-
sult.
Deceased, whose maiden name was Hof-
fer, was a native of Potter township, and
was 79 years of age. She was a most estim-
able christian woman, much loved by all
who knew her. In addition to her hushand

——A peculiar specimen of the deer fam-
ily was killed by the Robert Mann hunt-
ing part out in the Scootac region last
week. It was a doe with a nice pair of four-
pronged antlers. When running in the
woods the hunters saw what they supposed
was a buck and a fawn together, ‘a some-
what uncommon occurrence at this time of
the year. What they supposed was a buck
was shot but when they got it it proved to
be a doe with horns. This isa rare mal-
formation of the kind in the deer family.
——Farmers who read the WATCHMAN
will doubtless he interested in the fact that
there will be held this year three Farm-
ers’ Institutes in this county : One at Phil-

join with the farmers of these localties in
the discussion of topics relative to agricul-
ture.
A DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.—Mrs. J. D.
day morning. Rev. Gress, of the Reform- |’
WitH THE HUNTERS.—Up to this time
news from the various hunting parties out
on the mountains has been rather meagre,
but the little so far received indicates that
the number of deer killed so far is small,
very much below what was expected at the
opening of the season. The first definite
news from the Panthers was received Mon-
day night when M. A. Jackson, a member
of the club, returned home. Up until the
time he left camp, Monday noon, the party
had not succeeded in killing any deer, and
during the five days they had been in the
woods only two deer had been seen. The
Bob Mann party had secured two deer, a
small doe and a fawn, up until Monday,
while one other party out in that region
had succeeded in getting one deer. These
three constituted the entire number killed
in that section the first four days of the
season.
So far as can be definitely learned only
one deer has been killed by the hunters
from Snow Shoe. In the Seven mountains
it is reported a few deer have been killed
but the namber is not as large by any
means a8 was expected. Possibly the mosb
successful party out in that section is the
Bradford party. = They started out last
Thursday and before 9 o'clock had killed
three bears, an old she bear and ber two
cabs, and since that time they bave secur-
ed one fine deer. It is reported that a
! couple more deer have heen killed in the
| Seven mountains but the information is
too roundabout to give as accurate.
On Wednesday word was reccived from
the ““Modocs,” a Boalsburg hunting club
camped in the Seven mountains, in effect
that they had three fine deer strung up ous
of a total of sixteen seen all told. The
John Smith honting party, of Howard,
have three deer and the Weaver boys, of
the same place, also three.
In Lower Sugar valley nine deer have
been killed since the opening of the season.
The Zimmerman party, encamped on
Baker run, Clinton county, had two deer
at last reports. From Williamsport comes
the report of three deer baving been shot
by residents of that city, which weighed
respectively, 180, 125 and 100 pounds.
Jesse Stout, of Renovo, has also a deer to
his credit, a large doe, shot in the Baker
ran district.
According to reports received yesterday
more deer have been killed so far this week
than there were the first four days of the
hunting season. The Uzzle party of which
Dr. Haag, of Williamsport, is a member,
shot three deer on Monday. The Rolly
brothers, of Karthans, who are out on
Mosquito creek, have four nice deer strung
up. The Harrisburg party, who are hunt-
ing in the Scootac region, sent a fat 150
pound buck home on Tuesday. The Riley
party, from Boalsburg, have two deer to
their credit.
Judge Auten, of Sunbury, is this week
the guest of R. W. Brace, of Clinton coun-
ty, and on Tuesday bad the good fortune
to shoot a 200 pound bear. On Wednes-
day Frank Warfield, DeLavn Stewart and
a friend went down Bald Eagle valley, and
came home with twenty quail, one of the
nicest strings of birds seen in this section
this year.

ANOTHER BEAR STORY.— The follow-
ing bear story was given us by telephone,
last Saturday evening, by a prominent
business man in Snow Shoe, who vouched
for its aecuracy:
Last Friday evening Lawshe Baird, a
coal operator of Osceola Mills, and John
MecCamant, postmaster of Tyrone, came to
Unionville by train. and there secured a
carriage and team of horses to conveys hem-
selves and trappings to the camp of the
Ranger bunting elub, of Tyrene, located
at the headwaters of Beech Creek. On
their way out through the mountains they
became lost and coming to a fork in the
road both men got out of the carriage to
see if they could identify which road they
should take. They had not gone ten steps
away from the vehicle when there wasa
terrifying growl and a crunching of brush.
and out in the road, not a rod away,
plunged an old she bear and two cubs. The
sudden appearance of the bears and their
warning growls frightened the horses which
stampeded with tbe carriage, in which were
the guns of the two men, leaving them at
small vest pocket revolver of 22 calibre,
carried by Mr. Baird. He quickly drew
this and as the old she bear approached on
her haunches he thrust the weapon for-
ward and fired, without the least anticipas-
ing the result. With the first crash of
the revolver brain lurched forward and fell
dead at his feet, the ball having entered
the right eye and penetrated the brain.
In the meantime, Mr. McCamant, no
less brave then Mr. Baird, seized a club
and attacked the cubs. He succeeded in
killing one but on turning to look for the
other heard it disappearing through the
thick brush down over a steep bank. And
the men aver that the cub carried off with
it their satchel which they bad dropped
in the excitement incident to the first ap-
pearance of the bears. A half hour’s search
failed to reveal the whereabouts of the cub
and they gave up the hunt.
The fact then dawned on the two men
that they were stranded in the wilds of the
foothills of the Alleghenies, without a con-
veyaunoce to take them anywhere and with
no idea of the location of the Rangers’
camp. Mr. McCamant is somewhat
of an astronomer and, nothing daunt-
ed, they set out for Snow Shoe, taking the
North star as their guide. They arrived
there shortly after midnight, none the
worse for their moonlight encounter with
the bears in the wilds of the Allegheny
mountains. In the meantime the horses
had taken the back track and were found
in Unionville the next morning. Satur-
day morning the two men secured a
guide and took their trail back over
the mountains, secured
of the two dead bear and proceeded on
their way to the camp of their friends.
After the WATCHMAN was on the press,
a phone message from a friend informs us
that the above story, whioh has appeared in
several of our exchanges, is without a
word of truth.

CouNTY COMMISSIONER’S APPOINT-
MENTS.—The county commissioner’s elect
did a wise and sensible thing by making
their appointments at once instead of wait-
ing until they were sworn in and organiz-
ed, a proceeding which always foments
more trouble and ill-feeling than to make
the appointments at once and have it over
with. The commissioners met, Monday
morning, and after consultation and due
consideration of the various applications
appointed James Corl, now deputy record-
er, clerk; John Trafford, janitor; Gettig,
Bower and Zerby, attorneys, and Dr. Jas.
