Another Big Cargo of Whiskey Con-
fiscated.
Along about three o’clock last Fri-
day morning the state police located
in Bellefonte received a telephone
message from Mifflinburg to be on the
lookout for a truck and roadster load-
ed with booze that had successfully
run the blockade of the officers in that
place and was headed towards Centre
county. The state police forthwith
started for Pennsvalley but too late
to head them off, so started on the
trail. They caught up with the truck
and car at Graysville, Huntingdon
county, where the booze haulers had
run out of gasoline. Two of the men
with the booze had made their escape
leaving the truck driver in charge. He
was promptly placed under arrest and
both the truck and the car brought to
Bellefonte. The capture was one of
the biggest yet made in this vicinity,
as there were three barrels and 178
quart bottles of whiskey in the cargo.
The whiskey was placed in the post-
office cellar and the man, who gave
his name as Michael Varowski, held
until the next day when federal offi-
cers came here and took him to Sun-
bury.
The truck, which was a Reo, was
built something on the order of a
hearse and had evidently been through
at some time or other one tight place,
as two bullet holes through the body
of the car were mute evidence that
somebody in the past had used very
persuasive measures to stop it but
failed to do so.
On Sunday a man who gave his
name as Thomas Healey, of Wilkes-
Barre, was captured near Pottsgrove,
in Northumberland county, with a
load: of 135 quarts of whiskey. He
stated that he was on his way to
Bellefonte with the wet goods.
Charles Baney and Thomas John-
son, arrested in Bellefonte last week
for stealing whiskey out of the post-
office cellar, waived a hearing last
' Friday and will stand trial before the
U. S. court.
Mifflinburg Man Has Smallpox.
Last week the “Watchman” ‘told of
a traveling man having stopped a
* night in Bellefonte then gone through
to Mifflinburg while suffering with
" igmallpex.- - Last week's.” Lewisburg
house has been roped
. :Journal has the following to say
i about the case:
*" Harold Barber, aged 38 years, is
ill with smallpox at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Cummins Barber, at
Mifflinburg. The house on north
. Fourth street is under strict quaran-
tine and the pavement i front of the
off.
© Mr. Barber had been: ill for a week.
: ‘He arrived from Indiana last Friday
‘come over to Mifflinburg
morning train on the L. and T. branch.
‘morning. He had spent Thursday
night at a Bellefonte hotel, and Bad
on the
His condition grew worse during
"the day, and in the afternoon Dr. C.
.H. Dimm was called. He summoned
.Dr. T. R. Thornton, of Lewisburg, and
.the latter’s son, also a physician, and
all three diagnosed the illness as
smallpox.
The State Department of Health
was notified, and an inspector is ex-
pected this afternon.
Strict precautions will be taken to
prevent the spread of the disease in
Mifflinburg, and vaccinations will be
in order where persons are not sure
they are immune.
“How many persons Mr. Barber
came in contact with on the railroad
and at Bellefonte on his way to Mif-
flinburg during which he undoubtedly
had the disease, is a question. Infec-
tion of others is by no means impos-
sible, as he probably had the disease
before he started east.
Answers to Health Questions.
Question 1—Are colds contageous?
Answer—Yes.
Question 2—What are the frequent
sequelae or after effect of a cold?
Answer—Pneumonia, tuberculosis.
Question 3—What means may be
taken to prevent a cold?
Answer—Overshoes in damp weath-
er, clothing permitting skin ventila-
tion, watch the thermometer where
you live or work. Never allow it to
get above 70 degrees.
The subject of the next lesson is the
“School Janitor.”
The old time school janitor was
often appointed because he had polit-
ical backers or because he needed the
money or for some secret reason not
imparted to the general public, with
little regard for the skill and intel-
ligence which are so necessary to the
successful administration of duties
which involve the health of the grow-
ing children of the community.
The school janitor is an official of
great importance to the successful
conduct of the school, and should be
chosen only on account of his konwl-
edge of the principles of school sani-
tation and his ability to practice them.

FOUNTAIN
- CRIDER.—Fountain W. Crider, who
for more than half a century has been
so prominently identified with the bus-
iness interests of Bellefonte and Cen-
tre county, passed away at the hotel !
Friday |
Chalfonte, Atlantic City, last
afternoon. He had gone to Atlantic
City some three weeks previous to re-
cuperate after having recovered from
a slight attack of pneumonia and was
getting along so splendidly that he
anticipated coming home soon. On
Friday morning he was up and around
and partook of a hearty lunch, going
to his room shortly afterwards where
he became slightly uncomfortable and
laid down to rest, his death following
shortly afterwards.
Deceased was a son of Philip B. and
Catherine Miller Crider and was born
on the farm in Clinton county on Sep-
tember - 7th, 1845, hence had reached
the age of 75 years, 5 months and 6
days. His boyhood years were spent
on the farm and in attending the pub-
lic schools of that day at the old Plum
Creek school house. When but four-
teen years of age he went into the
woolen mills of John B. Rich & Son,
at what is now known as Woolrich,
where he remained three years, or un-
til he had learned the-business of nian-’
ufacturing woolen goods. He then
entered the store of J. J. Bisel & Co.,
at Lock Haven, as a clerk and after
serving in that capacity a few months
was promoted to book-keeper. Just
about that time the oil excitement
brok: out in Pennsylvania and with
visions of easily accumulated wealth
the young book-keeper invested all his
savings in oil and lost them. While
this stroke of misfortune might have
disheartened many men the only effect
it had on Mr. Crider was to make him
more prudent regarding his invest-
ments in the future. :
At the age of nineteen years he en-
tered the Eastman business college at
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he spent
one year. In the meantime his father
had become actively engaged in lam-
bering in the Snow Shoe region and
in the early part of 1866 he was join-
ed by his son and the firm of P. B.
Crider & Son was organized. Short-
ly thereafter the headquarters of the
firm ‘were established in Bellefonte
with #. W. Crider in charge. From
lumbering in the woods it was only a
step to the location of their big lum-
ber yard and erection of a planing
mill in this place, and the firm’s busi-
ness grew rapidly and amazingly un-
til their interests were not confined to
Centre county but extended over a
half dozen neighboring counties. In
addition to lumbering the firm manu-
factured charcoal out of the waste
timber, bought and sold timber lands,
but always reserved all the mineral
rights under ground. In 1888 when
fire destroyed the old Humes block
the Criders purchased the property
and erected thereon the present Cri-
der’s Exchange. Mr. Crider also ac-
quired considerable other property in
Bellefonte and at one time was a
member of the banking firm of Jack-
son, Crider & Hastings which took
over the W. F. Reynolds & Co. bank
and which later merged into the
Bellefonte Trust company.
It was through Mr. Crider that the
Pennsylvania Match company was or-
ganized about twenty-five years ago
and has grown to be one of the large
and stable industries of Bellefonte.
Thus it will be seen-from the boy of
fourteen working in a woolen mill Mr,
Crider in three score years grew to be
a man of wealth estimated at more
than a million dollars, and probably
the richest manin Bellefonte. And it
was all through his untiring energy
and close application to business. Prob-
ably no other man in Bellefonte ap-
plied himself so closely to his various
interests as did Mr. Crider and yet no
man was more easily approached than
he. Any man, rich or poor, could get
an audience with him at any time.
Outside of his business practically all
his time was given to his family and
his church. As a boy he identified
himself with the Methodist church
and he was. -not only faithful to ifs
| first wife being Miss Mary Adeline

teachings but a liberal contributor for
all church work and purposes. He
was an ardent advocate of temperance
and decried the abuse of strong drink
at all times. :
Mr. Crider was twice married, his:
Sullivan, of Union county. Of this
union two children survive, Burns H.
Crider and Mrs. Charles R. Dorworth,’
of Bellefonte. Mrs. Crider died in
1879 and on December 14th, 1882, he
married Miss Rebecca Jane North, of
Juniata county, who passed away al-
most three years ago. Of this latter
union two children survive, Hugh N.
Crider, of Bellefonte, and Mrs.
Seana: Kirby Rath, of Elizabeth, N.

widow of Isaac Gray, passed away at
five o’clock on Sunday morning at the |
home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank
Hartsock, in Scranton. After spend-
ing last summer on the farm
Mrs. Gray closed her home in
the fall and went to Scranton
to spend the winter with her daugh-
ter. She had enjoyed good health all
winter and three weeks ago her other
two daughters, Mrs. George M. Glenn
and Miss Esther Gray, went to Scran-
ton to be present at the celebration of |
their mother’s eighty-fourth birthday |
anniversary on February 5th. Mrs.
Gray was taken sick quite suddenly
the latter part of last week and died!
at the hour above mentioned. |
She was a daughter of John and Su- |
sannah Neff Liggett and was born in
Liberty . township on February . 5th, !
1837. Her ancestors were of Scotch-
frish stock and came to this country
{rom the north of Ireland and origi-
i nally settled in Virginia. Later three
brothers came to Pennsylvania and:
settled in Bald Eagle valley, one of
whom, George Liggett, was Mrs.
Gray’s paternal grandfather. The
marriage of Mr. Gray and Miss Lig-
gett took place on November 4th,
1862, and they at once took up their
residence on the old homestead in
Halfmoon valley where Mrs. Gray
Her |
husband passed away in 1889 and she |
promptly took charge of the farm |
home and with the assistance of her
daughter Esther directed the manage- |
ment of it ever since. i
" As a young woman she joined the |
Methodist church and ever after lived |
a life of sublime faith in the teach- |
ings of the Master. She has gone to
her long rest but her many acts of
kindness and christian charity will be
long remembered by those who knew |
her most intimately. Surviving her |
are three daughters, Mrs. George M. |
Glenn, of Fillmore; Miss Esther Gray,
at home, and Mrs. Frank Hartsock, of |
Scranton. She also leaves one sister. |
Funeral services were held at her |
old home on Wednesday by her pas-

beloved wife of J. C Nason, pasted!
away at her home at Julian on Sun- |
day following a comparatively dri f |
illness. She was a daughter or
B. and Maria McCord and was borfl at
Irishtown, Perry county,

eighth year. When she was a child
her parents moved to Bald Eagle val-
ley and for a number of years lived
on the old Thomas farm at Milesburg.
Mrs. Nason was twice married, ‘her
first husband being Charles H. An-
drews, and of this union two children
survive, Miss Anna Andrews, at home,
and John C. Andrews, on the Nason
farm at Julian. Following the death
of her first husband she married J. C.
Nason, and for some years they made
their home in Philipsburg, then. spent
a brief time in California and finally
settled on the farm at Julian, where
they have lived ever since. A sad co-
incidence is that both Mr. and Mrs.
Nason were taken sick the same day
and lie in adjoining rooms, and at this
serious.
ipsburg Mrs. Nason was baptized in
the Baptist church and has clung
steadfastly to that faith ever since.
She was a splendid woman in every
way, a kind and loving wife and moth-
er. In addition to her aged husband
she is survived by a son by her second
marriage, O. H. Nason, and one sis-
ter, Mrs. J. O. P. Nason.
