DR. DORWORTH HONORED.—Yesterday
was the fiftieth anniversary of the day
on which Dr. E. S. Dorworth began the
practice of medicine in Bellefonte and in
celebration of the event the Centre Coun-
ty Medical society tendered him an
elaborate luncheon in the private dining
room at the Brockerhoff house. Plates
were laid for twenty and although the
guest of honor is the nestor of the So-
ciety and has passed the four score year
mark, he enjoyed the occasion as much
as any of the M. D’s present. The so-
ciety also presented the doctor with a
large box of flowers.
Dr. Dorworth was born at Emanus,
Lehigh county, on February 19th, 1834,
hence has reached the advanced age of
81 years and 13 days. He is a graduate
of the medical schools of the University
of New York and University of Pennsyl-
vania, and it was on March 4th, 1865,
when he first hung out his shingle and
began the practice of medicine in Belle-
fonte. At that time doctors were “fewer
and further between” and Dr. Dorworth’s
clientelle extended for miles throughout
the surrounding country. Of late years
his practice has been confined mostly to
Bellefonte, but he has been active in his
profession for half a century.
KiLLED BY FALLING LiMB.— William
Rukle, a well known young farmer of
Potter township, was killed by being hit
on the head by a falling limb on Tues-
day. The young man was cutting wood
on the James Kimport farm. Failing to
go to the house for his dinner a search
was made to see what was wrong.
Ruble was found lying unconscious at
the foot of a tree and a nearby limb was
evidence of how he had been injured. He
was carried to the Kimport home but
died at seven o'clock the same evening
without regaining consciousness. De-
ceased was a son of the late William
Ruble and was born at Tusseyville thirty-
six years ago. He was an exemplary
young man and his untimely death is
deeply regretted by all who knew him.
For a number of years past he had been
a member of the Reformed church and
his pastor, Rev. R. Raymond Jones, of
Centre Hall, had charge of the funeral
services which were held at nine o’clock
yesterday morning, burial being made at
Tusseyville.

——A young foreigner was standing at
the Pennsylvania passenger depot Tues-
day afternoon as the Snow Shoe train
backed in to discharge its passengers.
When the train started for the yard the
foreigner evidently thought it was leav-
ing for Snow Shoe and he attempted to
jump upon the rear steps. He got a hand
hold all right but couldn’t get his feet up
with the result that he was dragged along
the brick platform to the crossing where
he was forced to let go his hold and he
rolled over and over in the dusty street.
The left sleeve of his coat and his trousers
were badly torn but he escaped bodily
injury.

murder this week, because he is too ill
and weak with tuberculosis to stand the
journey from Philadelphia to Rockview.

victed at Lancaster of an accessory in
the murder of a fruit dealer, was taken
through Bellefonte to Rockview on Tues-
day afternoon in charge of a sheriff and
deputy. On the way from Bellefonte to
Rockview he talked and laughed with his
guards and fellow passengers, but when
he left the train at Peru and saw the
execution building and prison van in
waiting he turned pale and a shudder
convulsed his body.

o'clock and those desiring seats should

celebrated their silver wedding with an
elaborate reception last Friday evening,
which was attended by about seventy-five
guests.
the guests were received by Roland
Musser, of Pittsburgh, and Miss May
Rhone, of Harrisburg, groomsman and
bridesmaid for Mr. and Mrs. Fortney
twenty-five years ago. A six course
dinner was served during the evening as
a big feature of the celebration.
It was on February 26th, 1890, that
Clement S. Fortney and Miss Carrie M.
Musser were united in marriage at the
home of the bride’s parents at White
Hall, by Rev. C. T. Aikens. Shortly
afterwards they went to Altoona to make
their home, Mr. Fortney being employed
in the railroad shops. Among those who
were present at the celebration last Fri-
day evening were Col. D. F. Fortney, of
this place, an uncle of Clement Fortney,
and Mrs. M. F. Rossman, of Tusseyville.
A PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT: —One of
the finest weddings of the season took
place last Thursday evening at the Luth-
eran church when Tom Thumb and Miss
Jennie June were “united in the iron
bonds of padlock.” The play was a
beautiful performance by sixty or more
children from the different churches of
the town, and was witnessed by a large
audience. Other features of the enter-
tainment were several choice selections
of music and readings. Every person
present was delighted, and so numerous
have been the requests to have it repeat-
ed that the ladies of the church have de-
cided to do so shortly after Easter. The
total receipts for the evening were $59.00,
and as the expenses were but $3.15 it left
the ladies net receipts amounting to
$55.85.
