Lipton died at his home in Erie, on Tuesday morning, after an illness that had extended over a period of four years. He was born in Miles- burg, this county, nearly eighty years ago, and went to Erie to engage in the manufacturing business. Surviving him are three daughters and a son. Inter- ment was made at Erie yesterday after- a TRESSLER REUNION. — The Tressler family reunion will be held on the fair grounds north of Bellefonte on Wednes- day, August 7th, instead of Thursday, the 8th, as announced in last week's paper. The picnic was well attended Saturday. Frank Kilian and wife returned to Pittsburgh on Saturday, Mrs. Al Grove visited among her relatives in town Wednesday. Geo. W, Ralston and family Sundayed at the home of Wm. Ralston. Huckleberries are all the go now for the ones who wish to go te the mountain for them. George Baker came in from Kansas for his yearly sojourn among his old friends in town. The rains of late are making all vegetation grow, and a few more will make lots of corn and potatoes. William Hockman and family came in to help celebrate William Coble’'s 83rd birthday, on Thursday. John I. Williams and R. F. Williams are busy erecting a new house on James C. Williams’ lot in Mill Brook. The venerable Henry Hockman, of DuBois, enjoyed a few days among his many friends, part of last week. Most of the farmers are through hauling in wheat but none to soon, as the rains caused some of it to sprout. Mrs. Homer Longwell and daughters came up from Philadelphia for their annual visit at the home of her mother, W. W. Schreck and family went to Philipsburg Monday to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Alice Lucas, who passed away on Saturday morn- ing. The carpenters and painters have finished the station and the new baggage and freight rooms will now meet the demands of the increasing traffic to this place. Pet Ferret Attacks Baby. A pet ferret, which had been allowed to play about the cradle of her baby, attacked the five-months-old son of Mrs. Carrie Cobb at Grafton, W. Va. Before the mother discovered what the beast was doing it had eaten one cheek, partly devoured one eyeball and had punctured the back of the child's head ,as well as a vein in the child's nostril. The baby will probably die. Horse's Kick Kills Baby. Kicked by one of the heavy horses attached to a local brewery wagon, the sixteen-months-old daughter of Felice Dilagrotti, of West Berwick, Pa., was instantly killed. The child’s neck was broken and her skull fractured at the base of the brain. No one saw the baby until she was under the horse's heels. Tiny Vessel Crossing Atlantic. The thirty-five-foot motorboat De- troit, Captain Thomas Fleming Day, eastbound across the Atlantic, was spoken on July 22, 800 miles east of Boaton light by the steamer Arabic. The Detroit reported all well. She has four men aboard and is the smallest BECKER CHARGED WITH MURDER Rose, Webber and Valion Declare Becker Ordered Rosenthal Killed and Promised Protection.

The grand jury acted speedily. With their confessions warm on their lips, Rose, Webber and Vallon went before the grand jury, put their hands on the Bible and swore that they had told the whole truth.

Corman, pro- duce dealer, tell several farmers in the post office that he would buy all the huckleberries they would bring him, and would pay the highest market price in cash, as he had orders for them to almost an unlimited quantity; and that they should tell their neighbors that if they wanted the cash to bring him all they could pick.

Personally-Conducted Excursions get into jail.” The bald gambler, who included in his confession a frank statement that for a long time he had been collecting money for gambling, not only for Lieu. tenant Becker, but for officers higher up in the police department, swears he did not know that murder was to be done the night his hired thugs met at Bridgey Webber's and sat there wait- ing for the signal that Rosenthal, the squealer, was about to leave the Hotel Metropole. Rose says he knew some- thing was to be done to Rosenthal, but that he would have flinched from the task if he had known that pistols were to be used against the informer. Bridgey Webber, the host of the murder conspirators, backed up Rose, and told of what was said when he and Rose met Becker up town a few days before the murder. Becker was hot for the killing. As for Harry Vallon, his confession was the least important of the three. But, like Webber, he supported Rose 2p. m., tene- i i ; i jg a pt af 7 SRT Hl i ! il 8 7 ed in substantial particulars.
