DEATH oF C. 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.

resident of Altoona, died at his home in

most of which time he bad been confined to
his bed.
Deceased was a native of Centre county,
having been born at White Hall, Septem-
ber 23rd, 1836, so that he had just passed

by six mooths less two days. When quite
a young man he went to Blair county and
for many years was a farmer iu the neigh-

gave up farming and moved to Altoona

~The Thespians, in their new drama,
“The Brixton Burglary,’ drew a very good
house at Garman’s last Friday evening,
and the general opinion of those who saw
the play was that it was equal to the best,
il not the best, that the College boys have
appeared in here. In addition to the play,
two features that cannot be overlooked
were the singing of the quartette and the
music of the College orchestra,

———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.

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.

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.

~——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.

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. Aller, of the Methodist church,
in the presence of quite a number of the
relatives and friends of the contracting
parties. Following the ceremony an elab-
orate wedding dinner was served and later
Mr. and Mrs. Brooks left on the night train
for their future home in Waterville, N. Y.,
where Mr. Brooks is a telegraph operator

———-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,

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.
