Mes. LEONARD Ruose—In the death
of Mrs. Leonard Rhone, which occurred at
Centre Hall, on Sunday , Centre
county loses one of ite women who has been
"| prominently known all over the State.
Mrs. Rbone's illness dates back to two
years or more ago when she become the
vietim of an organic disease which u«~velop-
ed to such a condition that it became
chronic. About a year ago she was taken
to the German hospital, Philadelphia, for
treatment, but the relief was only tempo-
rary. Her illness, however, was of such a
character that she was able to be up and
around the house until Wednesday of last
week when she became alarmingly ill with
plearo-pnenmonia, which resulted in ber
death on Sanday.
Deceased was aged sixty-three years and
was the last surviving daughter of James
and Rebecca Sankey, deceased, of Potter's
Mills. Her great grandfather, Thomas
Sankey, settled on the old Sankey home-
stead in Potter township some years prior
t01794, as a lessee. His sons, Jeremiah
and Thomas, Jr., the former the grand.
father of Mrs. Rhone, purchased the prop-
erty in 1802 from the executors of Gen.
James Poster. It was on that old home-
stead that Mrs. Rhone was born and the
lasn time she was away from Centre Hall
prior to her death was to make a visit to
the place of ber birth. The only surviv-
ing members of the Sankey family are two
brothers of the deceased, Dr. James W.
Sankey, of Des Moines, Iowa, and Hon.
Robert A. Sankey, of Wichita, Kan., the
latter being present at the bedside of his
sister at her death.
The subject of this sketch was married
to Leonard Rhone in 1864, and the young
couple at once took up their residence on
the farm west of Centre Hall which they
named ‘‘Rhoneymede.”” There they lived
natil a couple of years ago when they
moved to Centre Hall. When the order of
Patrons of Husbandry was established and
Mr. Rhone became a member as well as a
leader, his wife also took a prominent part,
She was oa charter member of Progress
Grange, of Potter township, which was in-
stituted in 1874, one of the first granges in
the county. Her enthusiam in the work of
the order was such that for eighteen years
she was a delegate to the National Grange.
She also held the position of Ceres of the
Assembly of Demeter, the highest court in
the Grange, and for eight years was lady
steward of the State grange while ber hus-
band was master.
Early in life Mrs. Rhone became a mem-
ber of the Methodist church and continued
as such until her death, living a consis
tent christian life. She was not only a
woman prominent in grange work, bat one
whose greater charm was found in her own
home. While diligent in church and other
work she was domestic in her babits avd
most of her time was spent by her own
fireside in the company of her family.
Buarviving her are her husband, Hon.
Leonard Rhone, and two daughters, Misses
Mae V. and Florence S. The faveral was
held on Wednesday morning. Services
were held at both the house and the
Methodist church. Rev. G. W. Moclinay,
ber pastor, officiated, and was assisted by
all the local ministers. Interment was
made in the Centre Hall cemetery.

I MARITAL TROUBLE IN A GYPSY CAMP.
~The latter part of last week a band of
gypsies, some thirty in number, came here
from Tyrone and camped down at the old
pail works. For several days everything
went along as smoothly as the customary
ina gypsy camp, but Sunday
i the the entire outfit was thrown intoa
tazore of excitement when the fact became
koown that two of the members had de-
camped on Sanday evening. According
to stories told by members of the tribe it
‘was a case of elopement. The man in the
case was Lewis Lovell, a married man, who
ran away with his consin,Canachan Lovell,
daughter of I. Lovell.
The coaple left Sunday afternoon say-
ing they were going for a walk but failed
to return and all efforts to locate them or
get any definite trace of the direction they
went proved unavailing, though the entire
band was out all day Monday and Mon-
day night searching the mountains and
valleys. On Wednesday the gang got
what they believeis a clue in the state-
ment of a railroad man who said he saw
two gypsies who answered to the descrip
tion of the missing pair,down at Miil Hall.
They said they were on their way to Wil-
liamsport and Harrisburg, quite likely on
their way east to the gypsy camps in New
Jersey.
The man in the case is about mediom
height, quite dark, about twenty thiee
years of age and was dressed in light cor-
duroy trousers, dark coat and dark brown
derby bat. The girl is about nineteen
years of age, quite dark complexion, rather
comely features and graceful form. It is
currently reported that they gotaway with
quite a sum of money, but one of the tribe
stated that they did not get very much,
though he admitted that they were all so
excited they didn’t know what the elopers
took. A reward of one hundred dollars has
been offered for the capture and return of
the missing pair, ‘either dead or alive,”
as ove of the tribe pus it.

HURT ON THE RAILROAD.—Lewis
Brown, an eleven year old boy of Madison-
burg, is in the Lock Haven hospital suf-
fering with a broken leg and other injaries,
the result of a grade crossing accident on
the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania, at
Lamar, on the morning of the Foarth of
July. With his grandfather, Henry
Brown, of Millheim, they were on their
way to Hecla park. Where the accident
occurred there is a sharp carve in the rail-
road and Mr. Brown could not see the
train approaching, though he heard the
whistle of the locomotive. He drove ahead
however and when the horse and front
wheels of the buggy had cleared the tracks
the vehicle was struck by the locomotive.
The buggy was demolished, Mr. Brown
wae thrown against a post and sustained
severe bruises about the bead while the
boy had a leg broken and was otherwise
injured. He was taken to the Lock
Haven hospital and is now getting along
all right.
AN INCENDIARY FiRE EXTINGUISHED.
—An attempt was made early Tuesday
evening to burn the Haag botel on Bishop
street. Between eizht and nine o'clock
Will Kelly saw fire under the rear porch
of the hotel and at once gave the alarm.
The blaze had just started and was soon
extinguished with a few buckets of water.
An examination disclosed the fact that the
fire was undoubtedly the work of an in-
cendiary as there was a pile of freshly
split kindling wood with a lot of paper,
eto. Had the blaze been started later at
night considerable damage might have
been done. Just why any person should
want to burn down the Hagg hotel is as
much of a mystery as is the identity of
the individaal who made the attempt.
