Dear oF Mes. Isaac MITCHELL.
—Aflter being a patient sufferer for the
past three years Mrs. Deborah Thomas
Mitchell died st her home on west Curtin
street, at 10:30 o'clock last Friday night.
Three years ago, in November, she was
stricken with paralysis which left her in an
almost belpless condition, physically, and,
while at times there was improvement it
was slight and not sufficient to prevent her
being a constant sufferer and never able to
resume any of the duties in which she was
pre-eminently active and took great in-
terest. This deprivation only accented
the nobleness of an ever strong character,
for her affliction was borne with a patience
and cheerfulness possible only to the
strong. She was the daughter of the late
Jacob V. Thomas and was born at Howard,
March 9th, 1845. Her ancestors came
over from North Wales in William Penn's
first migration and held large grants of
land in Chester valley from whence they
came into Centre county in 1815 and be-
came prominently engaged in the business
of iron manufacture in this county. From
this time forward they were actively con-
cerned in advancing the material prosperity
of the county in every way, and, of her
srandfather, William A. Thowas,authority
says : ‘‘As a business man, he had no su-
perior in ability and enterpriee in Central
Pennsylvania, and bas left the impress of
his ability in the training he gave some of
our most distinguished business men.”
Mrs. Mitchell, like ber ancestors, was a
member of the Society of Friends and the
traits that are so inalienably associated
with that fine sect of people who settled
and have stamped their personality over
this great State were embodied in a most
pleasing manner in this lovely woman.
Personally, she was very charming, a
gracious manner that made her universally
appreciated both as hostess and as guest,
always a great reader of the best literature
and correspondingly delightful in conversa-
tion, with a charity for all good things
that made ber identify bersell with and be
a potent factor in every christian move-
ment in the community. Her life was
illustration of the Quaker motto, *‘I ex-
pect to pass through this world but once.
It therefore there is any kindness I can
show to any human being, or any word I
can speak for Jesus, let me do it NOW—let
me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not
pass this way again.”
For years she was secretary and treasurer
of the W. C. T. U,, and, from the time of
its organization, until illness made her
resignation imperative, she was vice presi-
dent and a most efficient worker of the
Ladies Aid of the hospital, was a member
of the D. A. RR. and at one time Regent of
the Bellefonte chapter. On November
11th, 1869, she was united in marriage to
Isaac Mitchell, who now holds the responsi-
ble position of assistant treasurer of the
Bellefonte Trust company. They had five
children : J. Thomas, Mrs. John Porter
Lyon, Joseph D., of Burnham, Pa., Grace
and Malcolm.
The very simple funeral services were
conducted by Rev. William Laurie, Mon-
day morning at eleven o'clock, at her late
residence. Interment was made in the
Union cemetery.

citizens in the death, last Thursday morn-
ing, of A. 8. R. Richards, from Bright's
disease, aged 67 years.
Deceased was a native of Eogland but
came to this country in 1865. He was
well known throughout the bituminous
coal region, having for twenty years served
as superintendent for the Berwind-White
coal company’s operations in the locality
in which he lived, but several years ago
was retired by the company on a good
salary. He was a director of the Osceola
National bank, secretary of the Osceola wa-
ter company, a trustee of the Cottage State
hospital, of Philipsburg, was a prominent
Mason and was burgess of Osceola two
terms. He is survived by his wife and two
daughters. The funeral was held on Mon-

—Mrs. Robert Welch, who resides
near Bald Eagle, was driving to Tyrone
shortly before noon last Thursday and
when in the vicinity of Vail station an
automobile came along and frightened her
horse so that the animal ran away. Mrs,

found that she had sustained a contusion
of the left breast and a lacerated left hand.
MARRIAGE OF Miss A. AUGUSTUS
Suita 70 MR. FRED C. MILLER. —Amid
the excitements of yesterday it sounds
rather incredible to say that anything
quiet happened. The only thing we know
of that did was when Miss Gussie Smith
was quietly married to Mr. Fred C. Miller
at the bome of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Jacob Smith, on Spring street. No at-
tempt at anything that savored of a fone-
tion was made as the decorations were
very simple and the guests only the family
and a few immediate friends. The bride
had no attendants and was dressed in
white Paris muslin. The ceremony was
eaid by Rev. James Stein, of the M. E.
church, after which a wedding breakfast
was served and a very pleasant time bad
before the departure of the bride and groom
oo the 4:40 train for Warren, Ohio, their
home. Miss Smith, whose engagement
was announced in the early snmmer, is one
of our most attractive young girle, a
graduate of the High school and is now
organist in the Methodist church. Mr.
Miller, whose bome is in Walton, N. Y.,
is a graduate of Princeton, class of '04 and
has been an instructor at the Bellefonte
Academy the past year. He now holds a
position in the High school, Warren, Ohio.
WALKER—JOHNSON.—A pretty home
wedding yesterday was that of Milton
Walker and Miss Minnie Johnson, both of
Marengo, which occurred at the home of
the bride's parents. Rev. Bergstresser, of
the Lutheran church, performed the cere-
mony in the presence of a goodly number
of invited guests. There were no attend-
ants. Following a delicious wedding din-
ner Mr. avd Mrs. Walker left for a honey-
moon trip to Ocean Grove and other east-
ern resorts.
——Sapervieng principal John D. Mey-
er, of the Bellefonte echools, will be in his
office on Monday, September 3rd, to at-
tend to any business relative to the open-
ing of the schools on the 4th that may be
presented to him.

—— The fifth annual reunion of former
Centre countians now living in Blair coun-
ty was beld in Glasgow's grove at Bell-
wood last Saturday. Several hundred peo-
ple took advantage of the occasion to at-
tend and meet old friendsand acquaintan-
ces and the gathering proved one of the
most successful the association bas ever
beld. There was a fine program of amuse-
ments and various sports among which
were two base ball games, one between the
married and single men and the second
game between teams from Tyrone and Al.
toona. There were also a number of brief
speeches, music, ete.

——The wedding of Rev. Milton E.
Bollinger, of Manlius, Bureau county,
Illinois, and Mies Margaret Evane, of Wil-
liamsport, took place in the Market street
Methodist church, Williamsport, yesterday,
and was a pretentious affair. Both the
bride and bridegroom are old Centre coun-
tians, the former baving been a resident of
Potters Mills and the latter a native of
Aaronsburg. Their marriage is the culmina-
tion of a love affair begun at Centre Hall
two years ago when Rev. Bollinger was a
visitor at the home of his brother-in-law,
Rev. W. W. Spangler, during the sessions
of the Christian Endeavor convention.

~The numerous friends of Edward
L. Powers, formerly of this place, but
now of Bryn Mawr, will rejoice in his con-
tivued and exceptional prosperity in tbat
he bas just opened up his new barness
store aud manufactory in that place which
the Bryn Mawr Herald declares to be “‘the
finest in the United States.” It is a brick
building 50x75 feet in size, two stories
high. The second story is used as the
factory while the store cccupies the entire
first floor. Mr. Powers learned his trade
under Hon. James Schofield, later going to
New York and other cities to acquaint
himeelf with every detail of the business
until finally. in 1893, he settled in Bryn
Mawr and has been wonderfully successful.

——Last Thursday night the large barn
on the farm of Joho Hagen, near Beech
Creek, caught fire and was totally destroy-
ed with every outbuilding about the
premises, while the bounse was only saved
from the same fate because of a strong
northeast wind. The live stock was saved
but all of this year’s crops, five huodred
bushels of old wheat and two hundred
bushels of old oats, farm implements, ete.
The fire evidently originated from a smoul-
dering spark from a thresher engine which
had been in use there the day previous.
The thresher, which was the property of
George Brungard, of Nittany, was burned
as was aleoa bay baler belonging to W.
G. Shaffer. Hagen’s loss was $4,000, on
which be had an insurance of §2,000.

——W. Francis Speer has tendered his
resignation as local editor of the Keystone
Gazette to take effect September first to ac-
cept the position of associate editor of the
Centre Democrat. Mr. Speer went on the
Gazette sixteen years ago, when it was own.
ed and run by James A. Fiedler, and in
addition to his local editorial work achiev-
ed considerable notoriety as the writer of
the ‘That column.’ In fact, his witty
““Thate’’ attracted such attention that a
few years ago he received a very flattering
offer from a Philadelphia newspaper to go
$o the Quaker city and takea place on its
reportorial staff, but he was deterred from
doing so through his love for home and
Bellefonte. He is one of the hardest work.

Busisess MeN's Picsic.—The t-nth |
annual picnic of the business men of Cen-
tre and Clinton counties was as great a suc-
cess, if not greater, than any former gath-
ering so far as the crowd goes, which was
estimated at from ten to twelve thousand.
The day was an ideal one for a picnic
and everybody present was in a good bu-
mor, had laid aside business cares and
given themselves over to a complete
relaxation and enjoyment of the day. They
were all theresimply for an outing and
they came from Bellefonte, Lock Haven,
and intermediate towns, all of which were
practically deserted and had the appear.
ance of a Sunday, with every business
place closed tight.
The Coleville hand was present and gave
a number of concerts during the day, while
the Germania orchestra furnished the music
for the dancing in the pavilion in the af-
ternoon and evening. The amusements of
the day were not too many to tire the
crowd, just enough to break the monotony
of standing around and looking at each
other. There was a game of water base
ball in the morning which, though it bad
many of the features of a real ball game,
was just amusing enough to keep the crowd
in a good hur_or. rhe game was won by
the Centre county team.
The clay pigeon shoot was very closely
contested and won by the Clinton county
team by the narrow margin of one point.
The prize wasa Stevens hammerless dou-
ble barrel shot gun, which was won by
George Schade, of the Clinton county team,
who made the highest score. The shoot
was for the best ont of twenty-five and the
scores were as follows :
Clinton Sounty team :
George Schade...
Shuman Furst

The principal amusement ‘feature of the
afternoon was the base ball game between
The Autos, of Lock Haven, and the Milton
team, which resnited in a victory for the
latter by the score of 5 to 0.
From four o'clock on the crowd began to
leave for their respective homes and by the
time the fireworks were put off in the even-
ing hardly one thousand people remained
on the ground. To the credit of the rail-
road company, be it eaid, the immense
crowd was handled with comfort and ex-
peditiously, most every train schednled
ranning close to its time.

WiLLiaMs REUNION, — The arrange.
ments for this very popular gathering is
nearing completion and everything bids
fair to the largest yet held. All trains on
the B. E. V. railroad will stop at the
grounds as usual, so those who do not care
to spend the entire day canget there on
the afternoon trains. The Howard band
will enliven the occasion with their excel-
lent music. Prominent speakers will ad-
dress the gathering in the afternoon. Re-
freshments of all kinds will be sold on the
grounds.
We wish tosay just a word in regard to
some complaint which comes from persons
outside of the connection that we do not
furnish amusements enough. Now this
annual picnic is held for the social effects,
and it'would be entirely too burdensome in
a financial way to get street carnivals and
such amusements.

PicNic AT SNow SHOE.—The cougrega-
tion of the St. Mary’s Catholic church at
Snow Shoe will bold their annual picnic at
the new driving park at that place on Moan-

annual picnic is one of the big events in
Snow Shoe and always draws a large
crowd, not only from that immediate
neighborhood but from Bellefonte and sur-
rounding towns. In addition to the ous.
tomary amusements of the everyday picnic
there will be a base ball game between the
Snow Shoeteam and a visiting nine and
other very interesting and exciting sports.
Tbe public ie cordially invited to attend.

THE SCHENCK REUNION,—The Schenck
family reunion will be held in Schenck’s

one of the most successful of any reunion
ever held. J.C. Meyer Esq., of this place,
will be the speaker of the day and the
Howard band will furnish the music. The
Schenck family and descendants are quite
numerous so that a large gathering is as-
sured, but in addition the public in gens
eral is invited to attend.

world and after drinking deep of twelve sessions
of scientific knowledge, Capt. Fry wil! no doubt
have acquired enough pointers to make his
services doubly valuable but he possesses the, to-
day, unusual quality of Cispensing most gener-
ously without thought of corresponding remun-
eration, and we need not fear a rise in charges
for professional services. Loyal veteran, he will
take time to visit many of the old historic spots
with which that country is rich.
