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.

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,

The boon, His love had given;
Aud though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.

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.

Tae BorovGgH DADS.—The usual eight
members of borough council were present
at the regular meeting Monday evening.

thing ont of the ordinary.
A petition was presented to council,

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

HAs MANY ANCESTORS LIVING.—Most
children feel themselves lucky if they have
two grandfathers and two grandmothers
living, but five year old Wilbur Rider and
his baby sister Adaline, children of Mr.
and Mrs. Will Rider, of Bush’s Addition,
have not only their four grandparents liv-
ing, but their lour great grand-parents and
two of their great great-grandparents. 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.

train was leaving the main line of the Bald
Eagle railroad at Milesburg on its way to

sult that the engine of the fast freight and
seven cars of coal and phosphate were

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.

A ———————
Spring Mille.
Quite a number of building operations are
in contemplation for the coming spring.
There will be considerable moving about
here on April 1st, and houses appear to be
rather scarce,
Mrs. M. B. Herring, who has been in ill
health since the early fall. does not appear
to improve very rapidly.
Simuel Harvey and Geo. 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.
