There is nodeath! The leaves may fall And flowers may fade and pass away: They only wait through wintry hours The coming of the May. There is no death! An angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread; Ho bears our best loved things away; And then we call them *“‘dead.” He leaves our hearts all desolate, He plncks our fairest sweetest flowers, Transplanted into bliss, they now Adora immortal bowers, The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones { Made glad these scenes of sin and strife, Sings now an everlasting song Around the tree of life. 1.4 FLOREY.— Miss Lizzie Florey died at the home of her sister, Mis.

One sister and a brother | survive. _e A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled, God in His wisdom has recalled, The boon, His love had given; Aud though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in Heaven. MET A HORRIBLE DEATH.--John Beck, one of the well known residents of Lock Haven and who bad many friends in Belle- fonte, met with a horrible accident last Thareday that resulted in his death in the Lock Haven hospital at an early hour Fii- day morning.

Miuessure Yous MAN EnecTRO- cUTED.—Guy Arthur Cox, of Milesbaig, met instant death hy electrocution while at work as an electrician in the Juniata shops of the Pennsylvania railroad company at 1:30 o'clock last Friday afternoon. Cox had been in the employ of the company the past two yemis. One of his daties wae to trim the many aro lamps scattered throughout the large shops. He went to work at one o’clock last Fri- day afternoon and in passing from one de- partment to another got his high-topped ehoes wet from the snow. He reached the boiler shop about 1:40 o'cloek and after a few words with some of the workmen there mounted to an iron girder above the boilers to trim the lamp suspended there. He neglected to turn off the current and reach- ing up with his right hand he caught the small screw at the bottom of the lamp be- tween his thumb and first finger. The touch was sufficient. The current of fully 3,500 volts made a cireait through his body. He became rigid and «tiff and the workmen in the boiler shop were horrified to see him plunge forward and fall to the top of the boilers. All knew what had happened and quickly as possible he was lowered to the floor and a physician summoned. For fally an hoar every effort possible was made to bring the young man to life but it was of no avail. Deceased was a son of the late Harry E. and Bertha A. Cox, of Milesburg. He was born at Bellefonte on December 16th, 1885, avd was thus aged 21 years, 1 month and 2 days. He went to Altoona about two years ago and entered the employ of the Peunn- sylvania railroad company as an electrician. He was a young man of exceptional worth, being a member of the Lutheran church and of the Pennsylvania railroad Y. M. C. A. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Bertha Cox, and two sisters, Gwendolyn and Louise, at their home in Milesburg. The funeral was held as 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, the remains being taken to Tyrone for interment in the Grandview cemetery. in Tae BorovGgH DADS.—The usual eight members of borough council were present at the regular meeting Monday evening. The various committzes made their ocus- tomary reports which did not show any- thing ont of the ordinary. A petition was presented to council, signed by many of the residents of the North ward, asking that a brick crossing be laid en Howard street from the residence of James Curtin to that of the Hale estate. The request was referred to the Street com- mittee for investigation and report. The Fire and Police committee recom- mended that coverings he purchased for the iron bunks in the lock up. John J. Bower, chief fire marshall, ina lengthy communication recommended the purchase of five hundred feet of new hose. The Fire and Police committee refused to support the communication with their rec: ommendation and council therefore decided that the new hose was not needed, The contract with the Bellefonte Electric company was read by the borough solicitor, | J. Thomas Mitchell, and approved hy conn- cil. Dr. George F. Harris and John Blanchard were appointed members of the local hoard of bealth by the president of the council, the former to serve for five years and the latter four. Mr. Keichline asked for bester fire pro- tection on Willowbank street and Rey- nolds avenue. Council decided to use the six inch pipe now stored at the water works for a larger main ont Willowhauk street as far as it woun!d reach.

The line of ancestry is as follows : Will Rider was married to Miss Bertha Gentzel, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gentzel, who are both living, as well as Robert Gentzel's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gentzel, of York, and both of Mrs. Robert Gentzel’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bartley. On the father’s side Goth his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rider, are still living, as well as Henry's mother, Mrs. Abner Rider, and Mrs. Henry Rider's mother, Mrs. Florey, of Pleasant Gap. Thus in the ancestry of five genera- tions only the two great great-grandfathers of the little Rider children have died, all the others heing yet alive, an ancestry that is probably not equalled by any other fam- ily in the county. ee APY ow a— FRIEZE—WAGNER.—Franklin A. Frieze and Miss Edith E. Wagner were married at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Israel Frieze, near Milesburg, on Weduesday of last week. Rev. J. Zeigler performed the ceremony which was wit- nessed hy a houseful of guests. Miss Esther Frieze, a sister of the bridegroom, was bridesmaid, and Byron Harris, of Pitts burg, was best man. EE — —— Last Friday evening as a freight train was leaving the main line of the Bald Eagle railroad at Milesburg on its way to Bellefonte a fast freight came along and caught the rear end of the train before it was entirely clear of the track with the re- sult that the engine of the fast freight and seven cars of coal and phosphate were wrecked. citi Suxpay’s Higa Wisp.—Following on the warm weather of last Saturday came a cold wave and high wind on Sanday. Tn fact the wind was fiercer on Sanday than it has been any day this winter. The barn on the farm of the Brockerhoff estate in Buffalo Ran valley, occupied by George Behreis, was completely unroofed while in various pacts of the county sheds were un- roofed and small buildings blown over. In Bellefonte there was little noticeable damage done aside from the blowing of a few limbs off the trees, ete., though Ser- geant Tom Beaver told the writer that the wind blew his has away and carried it so bigh that it went oat of sight and he could not find it, while Charlie Heisler declared that out along Water street the wind was #0 high it blew the knots out of a young lady's ehoe strings; a fact he could vouch for as he saw it happen. OI course there are probably other high wind stories but the above is sufficient to show the foroe of the gale. oe Pine Grove Mentions. Alf Bowersox is home from Altoona with an attack of tonsilitis.

Weaver, of Union county, were here last week on a fly- visit to relatives and friends. Mrs. Jacobs and her daughter, Mrs. W. 0, Gramley, are both ill with the grip. The disease is quite prevalent here, but in most cases in a light form. The moderate weather the forepart of last week finished sleighing and sledding, and made walking a very miserable business. Wading ankle deep in siush and mud is any- thing but agreeable, and we certainly had plenty of it. When the Penn Hall post office was discontinued and the rural system adopted, and in order to secure as formerly two daily mails, quite a large number of citizens en- gaged the [retired mail carrier to continue his trips to Spring Mills post office twicea day at their expense, which he did until the 15th inst when the trips were discontinued, and now all depends on the rural delivery. On Sunday last, we had high, cold winds, tornado like all day. Io the afternoon quite an excitement was created on the “hill” by a flue in the old Spring Mills hotel building, now occipied by two or three families, tak- ing fire. The high wind prevailing scattered the sparks in every direction making it look very threatening, but fortunately it resulted in no damage. About the same time ome side of the barn belonging to C. P. Long was blown down which of course added to the excitement. Renal Estate Transfers. The following real estate transfers were recorded doriog the pust week by Re- corder John C. Rowe, Julia ¢*.
