William Thompson Speer was a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Speer and was born in Lurgan township, Fraaklin county, De- cember 8th, 1836, hence was 74 years and ! 3 days old. After he grew to manhood he entered the employ of the Cumberland Valley railroad in their car shops at Chambersburg where he was advanced to the position of foreman, which he held a number of years. In 1873 he came to Bellefonte with Jack McClellan, also of Chambersburg, to superintend the erec- tion of the Bellefonte car works, upon the completion of which Mr. McClellan was made general superintendent, William Curtin secretary and treasurer and Mr. Speer superintendent of the working de- partment. When the original company dissolved Mr. McClellan and Mr. Speer leased the plant and operated it sev- eral years. When they finally closed down the latter became superintendent of the Phoenix planing mill under John Ardell and later filled a similar position under P. B. Crider & Son. In the early nineties he resigned his position and lived {a retired life until elected treasurer of Centre county in 1899. Since the expira- tion of his term he lived a private life. Mr. Speer was twice married, his first wife being Miss Celinda Frantz, of Shippensburg, who died in 1873. By this union he had five children, all of whom survive as follows: W. Francis, of this place; Edward, cashier of the First National bank, Hoxie, Kan.; Mrs. Harris Mann, Lewistown; William, an adjuster in Horne & Co's store, Pittsburg, and Irvin, an electrician in St. Louis, Mo. In 1877 he married Miss Kate Larimer, a daughter of James Larimer, of Pleasant Gap, who survives. He also leaves three brothers and one sister, namely: James H.. of Abilene, Kan.; Hon. David Speer of Chambersburg; Mark, of Portland, Oregon, and Mrs. Martha Ramp, living near Shippensburg. The remains were brought to Belle- fonte on Tuesday afternoon and taken to his home on west High street where they reposed until Wednesday afternoon when the funeral was held from the Presby- terian church at two o'clock. He was a member of Constans Commandery Knights Templar of this place, the mem- bers of which had charge of the funeral, Rev. John Hewitt, the chaplain officiating. Burial was made in the Union cemetery. Mr. Speer was a man who had the friendship and esteem of every man who knew him. He was upright and honest in all his dealings with his fellowmen and at all times followed the teachings of the Divine Master. He had an open and sunshiny character and saw beauty in every phase of nature and God's handiwork and “lived for the very joy of living.” He was quite poetical by nature and the fol- lowing bit of verse so appropriate and ap- plicable to his own ripening age was written by him a few years ago and published in this paper: THE AUTUMN LEAVES THEY SPEAK TO ME. The Autumn leaves they speak to me As I walk beneath the trees : They whisper in such sclemn tones, They make life sad to me. 1 think of youth beneath their shade, Of the years that have passed me by : How oft have I seen their colors change And heard their moan and sigh. Oh, Autumn frosts, oh, cruel frosts. Your work is plainly seen ; How can you strike your deadly fangs In leaves so biight and green ? Oh, Autumn winds, you shake and shake Those leaves from their home on high : How gently you drop them one by one On the cold earth to die. Oh, sad thought, why speak to me Of that world to me unseen ? For I am told their living waters flow Through fields of living green. 1 know the cruel frost of time Has marked me for his prey : But why should I feel sad today For that world [ would love to see. w.T8 i 5 HARRISON.—The announcement of the | death of John F. Harrison, at his home in Jersey Shore, at four o'clock on Tues- day afternoon, was not a surprise to his old friends here, as he was known to be in a critical condition with stomach trou- ble for weeks past. His illness dates back a number of years and for the past two years he was unable to follow his oc- cupation of a teacher. Deceased was born at Pleasant Gap and was about fifty-two years of age.

She was married to Mr. Johnston in 1863 and most of her life | since was spent near Curtin. Surviving her are her husband and the following children: Harry H., of Fresno, Cal.; Mrs. Crissie D. Tanner and J. Kennedy, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Bessie C. Brooks, of Waterville, Lycoming county; Mrs. Ella M. Foresman, of Howard, and Miss Lula, at home. The funeral was held on Tues- day, burial being made in the Curtin cem- etery. that the confidence and faith placed in him at that time were fully justified. In 1864 the institution was merged into the First National bank and Mr. Harris was continued as cashier until he resigned some fifteen years ago to become cashier of the Jackson, Crider and Hastings bank which was later merged into the Belle- fonte Trust company, of which he was made treasurer, a position he still fills. He has always taken an active in- terest in every movement for the good of the town. For thirty-nine consecutive years he was a member of the school board from the North ward, thirty-seven years of that time being the treasurer of the board.

Three full reels every evening for five cents. >oo but we do know that there is not one hundred feet of clean pavement in the business part of the town. The first snow fell about ten days ago and ever since many of the pavements have been cover- ed with tramped down snow and ice and now are a positive menace to life and limb. Business men and property owners maintain that the snow is tramped so hard ——The annual Farmers’ Week at State College will begin next Monday and continue for onc week.

Last year over three hundred farmers from more than two-thirds of the coun- ties in the State were enrolled and a larger attendance is expected this year. a measure is true, but it ought to have been cleaned off before it was tramped so business part of the town the pavements are fairly clean, because the residents shovel the show off before it is tramped down, and thisis what every resident and business man should do. The pavements are now in such aconditior: that the mat- ter will likely be brought before council next Monday evening and more drastic measures resorted to to enforce the ordi- nance requiring them to be cleaned off within twenty-four hours. oe A Court CuLLINGS.—Though court has been in session all week the cases dis- posed of have been few in number. The first case tried was that of the Penn Chemical company vs. Mary E. and Nan- cy J. Ammerman, an action in trespass to recover damages. A verdict in favor of the plaintiff was returned in the sum of $447.50. The second case was that of Pearl C Gray vs. Leonard Miller, a feigned issue to try the title to the horse “Lamptrim- mer.” The plaintiff is a daughter of Ir- vin G. Gray, of Stormstown, while the de- fendant lives in Altoona. When Mr. Gray went into bankruptcy last summer his property was levied upon by thc sher- iff and Mr. Miller attempted to get pos- session of the horse which was claimed by Miss Gray. The jury returned a ver- dict in favor of the plaintiff. The case of the Brunswick—Balke Cal- endar Co., of Philadelphia, against Edgar Sheffer, of Philipsburg, is still under trial.
