BRUCE GARMAN. —Charles Bruce Garman, whose very critical illness was mentioned in this paper last week, died at the Garman Louse at 12:45 o'clock last Friday night, after less than two week’s illness with rheumatism of the heart. He was first stricken down on Monday, March 11th, and from that time his illness was re- warded as of very grave character. Several times in the interum until his death be had rallying spells and his friends felt some en- couragement for his recovery, but sush was not to be the case and on Tuesday of last week the attending physicians gave up all hope. When death did come it was quiet- ly and calmly, the victim passing from a fitful sleep of life to the eternal sleep of death while the watchers at his bedside could do naught but watch the steady ap- proach of the grim reaper. Deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs, Daniel Garman and was born in the old Garman house, practically on the same spot on which he died. He was thirty-three years old on Christmas day, 1906. For the past fifteen years he bas been connected in one way or another with the conduct of the Garman houee, which was bailt by his father over a half century ago and was con- ducted so successfully by him for many years. Kor six years he worked for his brother, Al S., while he bad the mauage- ment of the house. When the latter left Bellefonte and went to Tyrone Bruce and his brother, Cornie M., went into partner- ship and for eight years conducted the hotel, until in she spring of 1906, when Corie moved to Atlantic City and Bruce took the hotel himsell. Under his manage- ment the Garman house became even more popular among the farmers and country folks than it was ever before and be had built up an even more profitable business than the house had previously enjoyed. As landlord of the Garman house he he- came quite well known by all Centre coun- tians as well as many people from neigh- boring counties. He was also well known through his association with many orders, he baving been a member of the Undine fire company, the Improved Order of Red Men, the Knights of the Maccabees, the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, eto. He was one of the original members of the Pauther hunting club, of Bellefonte, and for years bas been a member of St. John's Episcopal church. Five years ago last November he was united in marriage to Miss Sabra Campbell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Campbell, formerly of this place, by whom he is sur- vived, they having had no children. He also leaves his aged father, Daniel Garman, who recently celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday and who himself is quite ill,"and the following brothers and sisters, bis moth- er having died some fifteen years ago: Al. S., of Tyrone; Ira D., of Philadelphia; Mrs. Isaac Maitland, of Williamsport; Cornie M., of Atlantic City; Robert M., of Tyrone, and Edwin F., Mrs. Charles Cruse and William H., of Bellefonte. The funeral was held at 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon and was very largely at- tended. The services were in the Episcopal church and were conducted by Rev. E. G. Richardson. Both fire companies attended in a body as well as the Red Men, the Maccabees and the Elks. The floral of- ferings were most elaborate and profuse. Messrs, Jobu Trafford, Frank Shugert, Wilbur Bavey, Simeon Baom, Harry Walkey, James Nolan, George Jodon and George Thomas acted as pall-bearers and interment was made in the family lot in the Union cemetery. I i I SCHRUDER.—Charles, the thirteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Schrader, of Baileyville, died last Friday of pneamonia. He had been witn his father in a lumber- men's camp at Spruce Creek as assistant cook, caught cold and pneumonia developed so quickly that the child could not be taken home and his death followed in a few days.

In- terment was made in the Graysville ceme- tery. i 4 i STOVER.—Noah F.

He fought gal- lantly in all the principal battles in which the Army of the Potomac was engaged until March, 1865, when he was taken a prisoner by the confederates and thrown into Libby prison where he was kept until paroled some two or three months later. In all he was in over twenty important battles, not counting the small engage- wents and skirmishes. He was wounded only once, at the battle of the Wilderness, where he received a gunshot wound in the knee. Oo March 24th, 1867, after the war was over, Mr. Goss was united in marriage to Miss Keziah Sprankle, also of Centre coun- ty, who survives him with the following children : John C. and Harry R., of Juni- ata ; Moses S., of Fostoria ; Mary L. and Malcolm, at home, and Mrs. Elizabeth San- ders, of Altoona.

In addition to the play, two features that cannot be overlooked were the singing of the quartette and the music of the College orchestra, —— Ys ———A biock system for the running of trains is to be put in effect on the Bald Eagle Valley railroad on or about May first. The towers will be located about five miles apart and it is expected the sys. tem will be a great help to’ averting col- lisions or accidents of any kind. When the system is fully installed the telegraph offices along the line will be moved from the various stations to the towers nearest the station. ~The ‘‘Beauty Dooctor’’ pleased a large audience at Garman’s on Monday evening and their re-appearance here would be welcomed by many. From here the company went to Lewistown for an appear- ance Tuesday night, and just to enjoy the novelty of a trip over the Seven mountains they hired Alf. Baum to take them over in his big hack while Tom Beaver's team hauled their baggage. It was almost even- ing when they arrived at their destination but they got lots of ‘‘novelty’’ on the trip. PuBLic SALE SEASON OVER.—The pub- lic sale season is now practically at an end, by that we mean the sale of farm stock and machinery throughout the county, and there is bardly any doubt but that the number this year was as great il not great- er than in any former year. And ove very noticeable fact was that a large percentage of the farmers who were selling out were men who have acquired a competence and, baving decided to retire to the rest and quiet of a private life, bave rented their farms and purchased nice homes in some town or village where they will spend the rest of their days. For this reason the ma- jority of the sales in the county footed up quite comfortable sums. The sale of the venerable J. J. Goheen, in Ferguson town- ship, amounted to over $1,800. Down Nittany valley a number of sales brought in from $2,250 to $2,500. The sale of James Lytle, near Earlystown, amounted to $3,450, it being one of the biggest in the county. J. Harris Hoy’s sale of stock, at Rock View, on Wednesday, was very largely at- tended and fairly good prices were realiz- ed, the sale amounting toa little more than $5,400. In all there were possibly one hundred or more sales within the coun- ty this season, as ever since the middle of February there have heen from three to six a day, and taking $1,800 to $2,000 as an average of what they amounted to the ag- gregate woanld mean that from $180,000 to $200,000 worth of farm stock and machin- ery changed owners this spring. >oo C. B. GARMAN'S WILL.—The last will and testament of C. Bruce Garman was probated on Tuesday. It leaves the entire estate, estimated at about ten thousand dollars in trust for his wile, Sabra Frances Garman, in such way that the executor and trustee, Charles KR. Kurtz, is directed to invest the money in good and sufficient securities and that the annoal income aris- ing therefrom is to be paid to his wife ;and in the event the income is not deemed sul- ficient to maintain her in a decent and rea- sonable manner then the trustee is empow- ered to pay her as much of the princi- pal as in his judgment he deems necessary. In the event of the death of his wile, then any balance that may remain of the said fund is to be divided awong his brothers and sisters, share and share alike. There have been quite a lot of inquiries as to who will now ran the Garman house. The old license, which is good until to- morrow night, was on Tuesday translerred to Mrs. Garman, wife of the deceased, so that she is now the proprietress of the hotel. It will also be recalled that the new license for the coming year was grant- ed C. B. Garman just the day belore he died and Mrs. Garman has also made ap- plication to the court for the transfer of it to herself. On the other hand Al S. Gar- man has made application to she court for the granting of a license to him for the coming vear and that is how the matter stands at present. *e SENATORIAL APPROPRIATION CoMMIT- TEE VISITED BELLEFONTE. —The sub-com- mittee of the senatorial appropriation com- mittee, composed of Senators Robert J. Cunningbam, E. M, Herbst, and 8S. R. Cat- lin, with their secretary Jimmy Sweeney, an old newspaper man, arrived in Belle- fontelast Friday. They were met at the train by a committee composed of Drs. Geo. F. Harris, R. G. H. Hayes, M. J. Locke, Col. John A. Woodward, W. Harrison Walker and E. R. Chambers, Esqs., and George R. Meek, and were at once taken to the Belle- fonte hospital where a thorough inspection of that institution was made. Of course, while the Senators present could not vouch as to what would be done when the appro- priation asked for the Bellefonte hospital came up for consideratior yet they ex- pressed themselves individually as favo:ing the amourt asked for, seven thousand dol- lars for maintenance and ten thousand dol- lars towards a new building. Naturally they could not help but be impressed with the necessity for the latter when they saw the overcrowded condition of the hospital. The committee went to State College on the afternoon train. a ici ~——The changes in the operating staff of the Pennsylvania railroad lines were an- nounced Tuesday and we are espzcially pleased to inform the people of this section that Supt. J. K. Johnston has nos been re- moved from Tyrone. it was feared he would be given a promotion that might take him to Renovo to fill the place made vacant by the death of the late Thomas A. Roberts. In fact it has been understood that Mr. Johnston could have bad the place, but his personal pleasure was con- sulted more than his desire for promotion and be will remain in Tyrone for which the people served by the roads he directs have reason to be thankful. Mr. Johnston has worked in such perfect accord with pub- lic interests and has shown such a disposi- tion to be of service to the community that his removal just at this time would bave been unfortunate. ———————— A PLEASANT SURPRISE FOR REV. HuGHES.—It was a very pleasant surprise for Rev. James P. Hughes on Saturday last when Dr. Hayes called upon him in company with a gentleman who knew him but whom he was upable to recognize. The caller in question was Senator Catlin, who was here as a member of the Senate sub-committee on agpropriations, and visited the hospital to investigate its needs. Senator Catlin was a pupil of Rev. Hughes’ in 1853 and 1855 and they bad not seen each other since those days. Of course the meeting was an exceedingly pleasant and felicitous one on both sides. fp pl em —Rev. Barry, who was recently elected pastor of ¢he Lutheran church, will preach both morning and evening on Sunday. SY BROOKS—JOHNSTON. — Quite a preten- tious wedding was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. D. Johnstoa, of Howard, at 5 o'clock last Wednesday evening, when their daughter, Miss Bessie C. Johuston, was united in marriage to Jobn C. Brooke, formerly of Roland, but now of Waterville, N. Y. The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. M.

Y., where Mr. Brooks is a telegraph operator on the N. Y. C. railroad WoMELSDORF—MATTERN. — Philip C. Womelsdorf, son of Hon. P. E. Womels- dorf, and Miss Rosalind B.

They returned home this week and are now receiving the con- gratulations of their friends. >. ———-John Ellmore, an Altoona cobbler, claims to have discovered a compound thas when put on ashes with about twenty-five per cent. of coal mixed will make even a hotter fire than the coal itself and will burn from three to four times as long. Of course should there be any real truth in the an- nonncement of such a discovery itself, is would mean a great saving of coal and a boon to poor people—as long as the ashes lasted —but then we have always been dis- posed to take such wonderful discoveries with a grain or two of salt until their mer- it is proven. Bat the only thing in the whole announcements which at present might interest Centre county readers is the fact that Dr. H. K. Hoy, formerly of this place, is so firmly convinced that cobbler Ellmore’s discovery is a great one that he has offered to finance getting it patented, eto. POO cna ——The remodeling of C. D.

THE BASKET SHOP AND BASKET MAK- ERS.—The WATCHMAN bas frequently re- ferred to The Basket Shop, of Bellefonte, under the management of Misses Blanchard and Merriman, but even with that com- paratively few Bellefonters realize just what it is. Many imagine ita place where perhaps two or more young ladies are cc- cupied in making toy baskets, when in reality The Basket Shop isa place where fanoy baskets of all kinds, she like of which are not to be fonud anywhere else in the country, are turned out—all band- made—and where some five or six women are engaged in the operation of making the baskets. Just now the ladies have an ex- hibition in Baltimore and the way their productions are regarded there is thus told by the Baltimore American : Society is much interested in the sale of baskets, which opened Saturday and will continue a couple of days at the Profes- sional Buildi on North Charles street. The sale is held under the a of The Basket Shop of Bellefonte, Pa., which is run by Miss Miles Blanchard and Miss Adelaide Merriman, both of whom are well known in this city. The baskets are all hand-made and are of imported reed. The young ladies also dye the reeds them- selves with vegetable dyes so thas they will not fade if put in the sun. There were many unique designs in waste baskets for offices and private homes, hanging baskets, jardiviers, fruit baskets, covered poker and glass sewing baskets. They are ail very artistic, many being made after old Eoglish patterns. There was one large daruing basket, such as great.grandmother must bave used nearly a century ago, in brown, shading to a rich mahogany. Some of the baskets are made after patterns of old heir-looms lent to these young ladies, and any of the designs can be made to order in any color, solid or shaded. A large number of ladies visited the sale Satarday and a number of orders were taken, as well as baskets sold. Miss Blanchaid is spending the week in Balti- more to see that the orders are taken cor- rectly and is being assisted as the sale by Miss Danott and Miss Jane Pitts. > GLORIOUS EASTER Music.—As is the annual custom all the churches in Belle- fonte will have special music for Sunday (Easter day) and the programs prepared for this year are exceedingly fine.
