——The remains of George H. Mus-
ser, who died at Ilewisburg, W. Va,
ont Wednesday of last week, arrived in
Bellefonte on Saturday morning and
were taken to the D. IH. Shivery home,
on Willowbank street, where they re-
posed until Sunday afternoon. Fun-
eral services were held in the Meth-
odist church, at Milesburg, at three
o'clock Sunday. afternoon, after which
burial was made in the Meyers’ ceme-
tery, in Buffalo Run valley. Mr. Mus-
ser was a member of the Mileshurg
Presbyterian church but services could
not be held there owing to the base-
A. C. Leathers, formerly of
Nail Works Bridge.
William B. Wilson, an employee of
the American Lime and Stone com-
pany, was drowned in Spring creek,
near the old fair grounds, on Saturday
afternoon, evidently having fallen into
the stream from the old nail works
bridge, but as no one saw the accident
there is no certainty as to just how
it happened.
Wilson was a fireman at plant No.
20, of the American Lime and Stone
company, and Saturday being pay
day, he got a fellow employee to look
after his work while he came to Belle-
fonte to get his check cashed. He in-
variably had it cashed at Robert
Roan’s store and it was about four
o’clock when he appeared there, made
a few small purchases and got the
money on his check. At the time he
told Mr. Roan that he wasn’t feeling
very good and had asked another man
to do his work. But he evidently re-
turned to the plant as the regular fire-
man who succeeded him went on duty
at 4:49 o’clock and relieved Mr. Wil-
son,
He then started for home, carrying
his dinner bucket. Some time between
five and six o’clock Michael Sopica, a
boy who lives down near the old nail
works location, saw Wilson sitting on
| the bridge, on the south side where
there is a broken guard rail, with his
fect hanging over the side of the
bridge. When he looked again the
man was gone, and one report is to
the effect that the boy saw him floal-
ing down stream but was unable to do
anything himself and went for help.
The water at that point in the creek
| is said to be five feet deep and Wil-
son’s body floated down some five hun-
dred yards to a point opposite the
home of Peter Kane, where it lodged
and was discovered about six o’clock
and rescued from the stream. Justice
John M. Keichline held an inquest on
Sunday morning about ten o’clock.
The jury consisted of E. M. Wagner,
Wilbur A. Hugg, R. A. Byran, John
W. Smith, D. L. Gordon and W. R.
Cliff, and after considering all the
evidence bearing on the unfortunate
affair returned a verdict of accidental
death by drowning.
Mr. Wilson was a son of John and
Nora Brown Wilson and was born in
Bellefonte on February 9th, 1878,
hence was 49 years, 1 month and 17
days old. He married Mrs. Margaret
Gummo who survives with no chil-
dren. He leaves, however, eight step-
children, Mrs. D. L. Gordon, of Miles-
burg; Harry, Elmer and L. T. Gummo,
and Mrs. Clair O’Shell, all of Bell-
i wood; Alonzo, Hamill and Russell
i Gummo, of Bellefonte. He also leaves
i his father and stepmother, living in
Bellefonte, and one sister, Mrs. Mary
i Cole, of Philipsburg.
Rev. Lehman had charge of the fun-
jeral services which were held at 2
o’clock on Tuesday afternoon, at the
D. L. Gordon home, burial being made
[in the Treziyulny cemetery.
Trout Fishing Season . Will Open in
Two Weeks. ;
Two weeks from today will mavk
the opening of the trout fishing sea:
"son and we personally know a number
{ of men whose fingers have been
twitching for some days in anticipa-
{ tion of the event. Of course the aver-
lage fisherman has a favorite pool on
i onz of the many trout streams in the
county and naturally that is where
jhe will hike to for his first try for
| a strike. ;
| Twenty years ago the late Col.
| Emanuel Noll invariably spent the
i opening day of the season down at
1 Paddy’s mountain, catching mountain
i trout in Paddy’s run. The trout were
{not large but averaged from six to
i nine inches, but he always came home
{ with the limit, a basket of as nice
( trout as any man would want to see.
[A number of other Bellefonte fisher-
{men also haunted the mountain
i streams and the trout they brought
home were tidbits worthy a king’s
taste. :
"Nowadays, however, the ambition of
most fishermen is to .make a record
catch of big trout-and this can only:
be done in such streams as Logan’s
branch, Spring creek and Fishing
creek. The largest number of fisher-
men go to Fishing creek in the belief
that the best catches are possible
there. But invariably the man who
spends the day on Spring creek comes
home with the best catch.
But there wouldn’t be any use in
telling where the best fishing will be,
even if we know it, for when the
eventful day arrives the average fish-
erman will go where he pleases, any-
way.
Pensions will be Paid Monthly.
Because of the filbustering during
the last few days of the 69th Congress
no pension deficiency bill was passed
and as the regular appropriation has
expired there was some uncertainty
as tc the monthly payment of
pensions to the old soldiers. On
Saturday, however, the Watchman
received a telegram from Con-
gressman J. M. Chase in which he
stated that arrangements have been
made whereby all pensions will be
paid every month, as usual, so the old
veterans need have no worry on that
score,

China.
Among the list of Americans report-
ed last Friday to have made their es-
cape from the trouble zone in China
and are safe aboard an American war-
ship was Mrs. Marion Fisher Keen,
widow of the late Dr. Charles E. Keen,
until his death a year ago head of the
language school at Nanking Univer-
sity. Mrs. Keen’s eight year old
daughter Marguerite is also with her.
Mrs. Keen is a daughter of Rev. W,
E. Fisher, of New Berlin, but who for
many years was pastor of a church
in Centre Hall, where the greater part
of Mrs. Keen’s life was spent.
only sister is Mrs. Charles E. Beury,
wife of the president of Temple Uni-
versity , Philadelphia. The Keens

NO WORD FROM THE NORTHS.
Up to this time no word has been !
received by Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Shuey
from Dr. and Mrs. W. R. North and
their little son Billy, and while they
naturally have considerable apprehen-
sion as to their welfare it is highly
probable that they are all right. The !
last letter they had from Mrs. North
was written in January and she had
then reached Shanghai from Chung-
king, while Dr. North was on the
point of setting sail down the river
Yangtse. As that is over two months
ago they both are probably out of
China by this time or safe on some
American vessel. Mrs. North stated
in her last letter that there was a prob-
ability of their being sent to Manila,
and the fact that no other word has
been received from them may be due
to the strict government censorship,
respondence is permitted to go into or
out of China at this time.
NORTHS WELL IN SHANGHAI
C. C. Shuey, on Wednesday, received

the West China Union University in

Dear Mr. Shuey: 2
We have had no direct word in these
offices concerning the

have every reason to believe that they
are either safe in Shanghai or on a
ship bound for America. I am sure
that you have no cause for worry con-
cerning them.
“Conditions in China are certainly
pretty bad, but let us still have faith
in the great majority of the Chinese
people. The radicals seem to be hav-

but there are still multitudes cf peo-

And we must still endeavor to work

REDUCES SERVICE RATES.
Domestic and Commercial Users Ad-
vised of New Schedules in Ef-
fect May 1st.
Much greater use can be made cf
electric service for a wide variety of
uses in Centre county and vicinity ac-
cording to an announcement made by
the Keystone Power Corp. to its con-
sumers. The new reduced rates will
become effective May first.
In the new domestic schedule but
i forty-five kilowatt hours use is requir-
ed to reach the three cent rate, as
compared to seventy kilowatt hours
under the old schedule. Under the
commercial schedule the second block
of four hundred kilowatt hours at six
and a half cents has been greatly re-
duced by the substitution of a one
hundred kilowatt hour block at five
cents. Under the new schedule the
commercial consumers get the benefit
of the three cent energy rate after the
use of two hundred kilowatt hours in
stead of five hundred kilowatt hours
as under the old schedule.
| Great progress has been made by
| the Power company during the last
| few years in improving its facilities
‘and its operation. According to its
i representatives the regyctions have
been the result of these improvements
and increasing use of service by all
'classes of consumers. The Power
, company expects this voluntary reduc-
{ tion to result in a further increase in
i the use of electric service on account
of the low rates now made available to
| its consumers.

P. R. R. Wants to Abandon Portion of
L & T. Railroad.
The Pennsylvania Roalroad com-
pany has made application to the Pub-
lic Service Commission for permission
to abandon and tear up its tracks on
the western end of the Lewisburg and
Tyrone railroad from Stover station
to Fairbrook, a distance of eighteen
and three-tenth miles, and farmers
and shippers in Warriorsmark valley
and the western end of Centre county
are preparing to enter a vigorous pro-
test against it. As this is the only
railroad running through that section
of country its abandonment would take
away the only means of freight ship-
ment the people there now enjoy.
On the other hand the advent of the

the time that our own governments
have given the Chinese much cause for
their bitter anti-foreign feeling.

peditious handling of the many prob-
lems involved in meeting the require-
ments of service demanded by the
subscribers and patrons of the Bell

road. The case will likely be threshed
out before the Public Service Com-
mission in the near future.

——Charged with assault with in-
tent to kill, threatening and resisting
an officer, carrying concealed deadly
weapons and violation of the liquor
laws, a man was brought to the Centre
county jail, from Philipsburg, on Tues-
day, to await trial at the next term of
court. He was entered as Alexander
Roach, of Newport, R. IL, but it de-
veloped ‘at his hearing before Squire
Hancock, in Philipsburg, that he was
as handy with names as he was with
violations of the law, having been
known as George Alexander, Alex
