Mes. W. 8. GrENy.—Mionie Terwil-
liger, witeof Dr. W. 8. Glenn, of State
College, died st the Bellefonte hospital,
Easter morning, April 15th, 1906.
Six weeks ago she became ill with ty-
phoid fever but at no time was her condi-
tion regard ed as critical and she was con-
valescing satisfactorily when complica-
tions arose that made an operation impera-
tive and she died of heart failure eighteen
hours after it was performed.
She was the daughter of Robert and
Erwil la Emerson Terwilliger and was born
near Owega, New York, Dec. 15th, 1870.
Lefs an orphan when very young, she made
her home with her grandparents until she
entered the Williamsport hospital from
which she was graduated in 1897. She
then spent two years as a nurse in the
Glenmary Banitorium, New York, aod
afterwards did private nursing until she
was married to Dr. Glenn in September,
1904.
Rather interesting is the fact that ber
father died of typhoid fever and she her
sell bad twice before been a victim of the
disease and when she died it was at the”
same age as had her mother.
She was a. woman of many capabilities
—a strong character—unselfish, enthusi-
astic, with a sympathetic temperament
that made of her a most proficient purse
and physician's wife, executive ability to
successfully accomplish whatever she
undertook and a winning personality
which, combined with the rare faculty of
never forgetting a name or face, won her
many friends.
She was a member of the Methodist
church at State College and is survived by
t wo sisters and two brothers; Mis. Emma
Hale, Owega, N. Y. Mrs. Sina Leonard,
Nichols, N.Y., Jay Terwilliger, Owega
i of Osceola.
CoPELIN.—Capt. David F. Copelin, one
of the oldest and best known war veterans
in Central Pennsylvania, died suddenly as
his home in Philipsburg on Monday. He
was in usual good health and just as he
was about to sit down to the dinver table
he fell over and expired almost immedi-
ately. Death was due to apoplexy. Had
he lived until next Sanday he would have
been eighty years old.
Capt. Copelin had a war record probably
not equalled by another man in the State.
Though only a young man at the time he
served in a Pennsylvania regiment during
the Mexican war and was captain of Com-
pany K, 110th regiment Penna Vols., dar-
ing the Civil war. When the war with
Spain broke out in 1898 Capt. Copelin
promptly tendered his services to Governor
Hastings as a volunteer, though at the
time he was past seventy years of age. Of
course his offer had to be declined, though
the Governor wrote him a highly com-
plimentary letter on his patriotism.
He is survived by four sons and two
daughters, namely : Duke, Perry, Mrs.
Electa Lamer and Miss Miriam, of Philips-
burg; George, of McCartney; and Charles,
Also by five brothers, Hugh
F. Copelin, of Tyrone; Richard, of Wil-
liamsport; Isaiah, of Philipsburg; George,
of Loe Angeles, Cal.; John, of Globe City,
Arizona; one sister, Mrs. Electa Post, of
Texas; one half-brother, Martin, of Osceola;
and two half sisters, Mre. James Huooter
and Mre. Emil Schopper, of Tyrone. The
funeral was held at Philipsburg at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.

80N.—The trout fishing season was ushered
in Monday morning under what would
vaturally be supposed as unfavorable ecir-
cumstances, the weather being cold and
the waters high, swift avd cloudy. Not-
withstanding these conditions the catch
was a remarkably good one, probably the
best on the opening day for a number of
years. Local fishermen concentrated the
major part of their attack on Logan's
branch, between Bellefonte and Pleasant
Gap and at 9 o'clock in the morning just
one hundred and sixteen disciples of Izaak
Walton were lined up on its baoks in a
stretch of four miles or more. And every
man, with but very few exceptions, had
trout. Of course the majority bad only
two, three, four and five, hut a number
made good catches. The fish averaged from
the six-inch legal size to fifteen inches, the
latter canght out below the o'd Phoenix
mill dam by Leo Sherry. Among the
fishermen on Logan's braveh who made
good catches Juring the day were the fol-
lowing : Patsy Bathurst 29, Charles Heis-
ler 22, W. C. Cassidy 12, J. Gordon 11,
John J. Bower 10, Arthar Thomas and
Bruce Garbrick, 9 each; Bob Valentine,
Fred Smith and John Nigbtbart, 8 each;
Charles Anderson, Lew Miller, Thomas
Harter and Ben Peters, 7 each; J. M.
Decker 6, Kline Woodring and Albert
Schad, 5 each.
Fishermen who went to the moantain
streams had fair luck considering the high
water. George R. Meek and Hemiy C.
Quigley spent Sunday night at the Country
olab and early Monday morning went up
Little Fishing creek into Green's valley
where they caught 25 and 20 respectively.
John Workman, of Heela, beat them both
by successfully landing 50. Sunday after-

Two Fires, ONE ALARM.—There were
two slight fires on Wednesday morning,
the second of which looked dangerous
enough to cause the sounding of a fire
alarm and bringing out of the fire compa-
pies. The first fire was at the howe of H.
Y. Stitzer on east High street. Mrs,
Stitzer was in the kitchen cooking ona
gasoline stove when in some way it explod-
ed setting fire to the room. Word was
quickly sent to the Logan fire company and
the boys soon had a stream on which ex-
tinguished the flames before much damage
was done. Mrs. Stitzer was also fortunate
in escaping without injury.
About 11 o'clock the stable on the prop -
erty occupied by Elward Richard, on east
Lion street, canghs fire from burning dry
grass aod not being able to put out the
flames themselves an alarm was sounded.
The fire companies responded promptly
and the fire was extinguished without any
great damage being done.
