—One hundred and ten persons
left Port Matilda on the morning
train for the union Sabbath school
picnic at Hannah Furnace last Sat-
urday. There were a thousand
ple at the picnic, the Sheridan and
Washington cornet bands and sev-
eral promient speakers. The Sheri-
dan band is Tyrone’s brag musical
organization and the Washington
band went all the way from Pine
Hall to render music that it had no
reason to be ashamed of. It was
under the leadership of J. W. Corl
end while composed mostly of boys
on the farms of College and Fergu-
son townships who can't get togeth-
er often for practice, it lost no
laurels to the citified musicians of
Tyrone.
—Pleasant Gap is to have a new
doctor. At least, one of her citizens,
G. W. Kline, has gone to Philadel-
phia to enter the medical depart-
ment of the University of Pennsyl-
vania.
—At the Greenback county con-
vention held in Bush's Arcade, on
Tuesday morning, Jacob V. Thomas,
the county chairman, presided. Oth-
er prominent Greenbackers who took
part were Congressman S. H. Yoc-
um, J. Miles Green, Wm McClellan
John I. Thompson Sr., and John I
Jr.; and John Dawson. They nomi-
nated a full ticket for the fall elec-
tion. There was some squabble among
them, however. Some of the dele-
gates wanted to nominate none but
temperance men, but William Mec-
Clellan put a quietus on that when
he rose and said he believed in
temperance but he didn’t believe
that either temperance or religion
ought to be considered when select-
ing men for office.
—Governor and Mrs. Curtin, with
their son-in-law, Dr. Geo. F. Harris,
left Bellefonte Monday evening for
Newport, R. I. They were called
thither by a telegram that Capt.
Breese, of the U. S. Navy, the Gov-
erpor's son-in.law, was at the point
of death.—Later information has
come through to the effect that the
Captain died about one o'clock Tues-
day morning.
—Geo. H. Rishel has left for Phil-
adelphia to enter the University of
Pennsylvania medical school.
—The William Thompson grist
mill at Potters’ Mills was totally
destroyed by fire last Friday night.
—Jacob Kerlin, son of Daniel Ker-
lin, miller at Roopsburg, died on
Friday last of typhoid pneumonia.
He was about twenty eight years
old and was a most estimable
young man xxx.

—Wahile driving to town the oth-

fered a broken leg in consequence.
—Somebody has been robbing
“the poor box” which stands in one
of the aisles of the Catholic church
here. Father McArdle is very much
incensed by
and offers a reward for detection of
the culprit. The box has been
opened and robbed of its contents
four times in the past two months.
When we asked the saintly priest
whether he was sure anything had
been deposited in the box he told us
he had seen numbers of his parish-
ioners pass their hand
entering the church
that each one had dropped some-
thing in, yet when he opened the box
it was like Old Mother Hubbard's
Cupboard when she went to get her
dog a bone. »

such an unchristian act
over it, after
and assumed
jof Mrs. Olie Campbell Barnhart,
‘wife of James K. Barnhart, at her
home on east Linn street, Belle-
'fonte, at one o'clock last Friday
morning, was a distinct shock to
her many friends. Although she
had been ill since last March, and
had returned home three weeks pre-
vious after spending five weeks in
the Geisinger hospital at Danville,
she had been among the guests at
80 the marriage of her daughter only a
week previous, so that her most in-
timate friends did not realize the
seriousness of her condition.
She was a daughter of George and
Martha Jane St. Clair Campbell, and
was born at Punxsutawney on May
27th, 1867, hence was in her 65th
year. Her father was a lumber
merchant in Punxsutawney and it
was there she grew to womanhood
and received her education. On
July 20th, 1893, she married James
K. Barnhart, at that time a clerk in
the First National bank, of Belle-
fonte, now cashier in the same in-
stitution, and this had been her
home ever since. Mrs. Barnhart
was not a woman who craved the
adulation of publicity. But her en-
tire life was infinitely greater and
more womanly. It was almost ex-
clusively devoted to her family and
her church. In her home she was
a shining example of christian wife-
hood and motherhood. In the
church she was a devout worshippe:
and the thoughtful teacher of the
younger children. Before her mar-
riage she taught a class of girls in
Sunday school. In the Bellefonte
Methodist church, of which she was
a member, she had for years been
a teacher of children and since the
death of Miss Ida Green superin-
tendent of the beginner's depart-
ment in the Sunday school. Her
love for children was inborn and
she manifested it whenever she
came in contact with childhood any-
where. She was an active member
of the Woman's Aid society and
Society, the Ladies Aidesociety and
the Woman's club, of Bellefonte.
In addition to her husband she
is survived by four children Mrs.
John W. Harper, of Schenectady, N.
Y., Philip S. Barnhart, of Spring-
field, Mass.; Mrs. David F. Howell,
of Youngstown, Ohio, and Miss
Eleanor, at home. She also leaves
four grand-children, Elizabeth, John
Campbell and Robin Louise Harper,
and Philip McKernon Barnhart, as
well as two sisters and one brother,
Mrs. H. J. Loeb, of Punxsutawney;
Dr. W. S., and Miss Cora Campbell,
of New Florence.
Funeral services were held at her
her late home at 2.30 o'clock, on
Sunday afternoon, by Rev. Horace
Lincoln Jacobs, interment being
made in the Union cemetery. In
addition to the relatives mentioned
above out of town people here for
the funeral included Mrs. William
Hestor, of Detroit, Mich.; Banks
Young, Mrs. Sidney Smith, Mrs.
Ella Widdowson, Miss Olevia Mur-
ray, Frank and Fred Campbell, of
Punxsutawney; Mr. and Mrs. James
Harshberger and two children, of
Johnstown; Mr. and Mrs. James
Kiefer, of Aliquippa; Mrs. Alice
Hurd and three sons, of Jersey
Shore; Mrs. Nelle E. Monts, of Wash-
ington, D. C,, and Mr. and Mrs.
Frank St. Clair, of DuBois.

BIG APPLE CROP IN
ROCKVIEW ORCHARDS. |
In the orchards on some of the
farms in Centre county there are
hardly enough of apples to make
cider for the customary apple but.
ter boiling, but such is not the case
out at Rockview penitentiary. Ac-
cording to reports the orchard there
has one of the largest and best
Crops ever grown. The yield is
estimated at from 30,000 to 35,000
bushels.
Just what will be done with this
immense crop has not been made
public. Under the law
not be marketed generally but can
be furnished to other State institu.
tions. It is quite likely many of
them will be canned at the Rock-
view cannery and the best winter
varieties stored for future use.
State College orchards also have
a good crop of apples and the Grieb
brothers, down near Lamar, whe
are now engaged in picking their
unusually large peach crop, will also
have an abundance of apples. Young
orchards, where the trees have been
properly trimmed and which were
sprayed in season, are showing a
‘good yield, while the old orchards,
which are rarely given any care,
