FUNERAL OF THE LATE WILLIAM HOWARD Knights Templar Had Charge of the Obsequies, and There Was a Large Attendance. Williamsport Bulletin. The funeral of the late William How ard, which occurred Friday afternoon, was very largely attended by sorrow ing friends from this city and out of town. The impressive funeral service of the Episcopal Church was conducted by the Rev. George C. Foley, D. D.,assisted by Rev. William 11. Butts, of the Me- I morial Church erected by Mr. Howard. The music incident to the service was beautifully rendered by the full vested choir. The handsome casket was fairly bur ied in flowers and floral designs, among which were an ivy wreath from All Saint's Memorial Chapel, triangle from Henry, Andrew and Joseph Kaye, largo basket from William and Josiah How ard, cypress spray from T. S. Clark, bunch of roses from E. R. Payne, cy press spray from the Ladies' Auxiliary to Baldwin Commandery, bunch of carnations from Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Page, heavy spray of ferns and carna tions from Elias Deemer, anchor from Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Perley, large basket of carnations and ferns from the West Branch National Bank, broken column from First National Bankof Emporium, cross of carnations, roses and lilies from I Baldwin II Commandery, No. 22, Knights Templar, wreath of ivory and violets from the Williamsport Furni ture company, bunch of flowers from Howard Kirk. After the services at the church Baldwin II Commandery, No. 22, Knights Templar, took charge of the body, and beaded by the Fisk Military band, the cortege moved with slow and ' measured tread to Wildwood cemetery ' where interment was made. At the cemetery the beautiful ritual of the Knights Templar was most im pressively rendered, the vocal selec tions being given by the full Comnian-1 dery, led by Sir James Fisk with cornet j accompaniment. The honorary pali bearers were Hon. C. A. Mayer and T. C Hippie, of Lock Haven; R. C. Lippincott, of Philadel phia; George A. Walkor and B. W. Green, of Emporium; Hon. J. Henry Cochran, Hon. S. N. Williams, F. Cole man, Elias Deemer, C. La Rue Munson, W. E. Fraser, Addison Candor and P. N. Page, of this city. The active pall bearers were the fol lowing Sir Knights: S. T. Foresman, T. S.

EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON j)EAI). Indianapolis, March 13. General Harrison died at 4:45 o'clock this after noon. Surrounding his bed at the time of death were Mrs. Harrison, wife of the ex-President; Mrs. Eaton, of Cin cinnati, and Mrs. Morris, of Minneapo lis, sisters of the General; the physi , cians, Dr. Henry J.amison and Dr. F. , O. Dorsey; W. 11. H. Miller, ex-Attorney | General; E. F. Tibbett, the General's private secretary, and the nurse. ! Neither Mrs. Mary Harrison McKee | nor Russell B. Harrison, daughter and I son of General Harrison, were present t when the end came. Both are on the way to this city and they are expected to arrive to-night. General Harrison did not regain con sciousness before the end. He has been in a semi-conscious condition since early yesterday morning and at ( no time was he able to recognize any I of the anxious household who were at | his side during the long last hours. It had been hoped that at the last he would be able to recognize the mem bers of his family even if he should not be able to speak. After the death bulletin was posted expressions of personal grief were to be heard on all sides. Immediately upon the receipt of the j news of General Harrison's death, Governor Durbin ordered the flag on the State House to be put at half mast and similar tokens of regard for the distinguished dead were shown at the Federal building and numerous private buildings. To the sorrowing family the death did not come as a shock for they have realized that the result was inevitable, and that it had only been a question of hours and minutes since early this morning. Dr. Jamison had informed the family this morning that the end might ba expected at any mo ment. Exit Star Course—Season 1900-1901. The closing entertainment of the People's Course, at the Court House, last Saturday night, was a fitting cli max to the series of five fine attractions presented to our people during the past season. Elias Day was delightful—his several character sketches being given with rare dramatic skill. With or without make-up he was equally effective, thus dispelling the popular impression that the main dependence of the imperson ator's art is upon his accessories In the roll of a story teller he scored a distinct success. He was both genu inely pathetic and irresistibly funny, and in fact in all that he essayed his absolute mastery of his business could not be> gainsaid. The audience which was a large and representative one generously applauded all his efforts. ' Miss Grace Walker, accompanied by Mrs. Beers, played very beautifully a violin solo and was enthusiastically re called. The well known abilities of Miss Walker are a matter of pride to her many friends who predict for her a bright future. Rev. O. S. Metzler tendered the thanks of the management to the pa trons of the Star Course for their gen erous co-operation, and made the statement that a continuation of their support would insure a Course next season. New Proprietor. John Heckman has leased the E. H. Thompson hotel on North Main street, and will conduct the same in a first class manner. John is a well-known and old-time hotel man who deserves and undoubtedly will receive a liberal patronage.—Potter Enterprise. The New Laundry. Rev. Mulliner, who recently purchas ed the Bonham laundry, is busily at work remodeling the old M. E. church and will soon be ready for business again. The gentleman is a reliable, hustling man and will make the busi ness go. Hotel Sold. H. W. Martindale has disposed of his hotel at Sizerville to E. D. Sizer. Consideration, $5,000. Mr. Sizer will take possession of the property at once. Fobert'Balr. Mr. J. L. Fobert and Miss Bertha Bair, of this place, were married at St. Mark's Church, last Tuesday morning at 6:30 o'clock, Rev. Father Downey officiating. The happy couple took the morning train for St. Marys, Mr. Fobert's former home, weere they vis ited their many friends until last eve ning. The PRESS hopes they may pass a long, prosperous and happy life. Team Killed. Last Monday while W. L. Dixou was coming down Britton Hill road, near John Mulcaby's, two miles east of Em porium, the wagon slid down a steep embankment taking the horses after it. The horses fell thirty rods and were both killed. The township of Lumber will be in it for a good bill of expense, owing to the fact that guard logs were left off the road. Mr. Dixon is a poor man and the loss of his team takes away his means of earning a living. New Train Schedules. The Pennsylvania R. R. Co., have issued the new schedule to take effect at 12:50 a. m., March 18th, 1901 The trains will arrive and depart as follows at Emporium: East—B:ls a. m.; 3:20 p. m. The B. &A.

The local trains on Buffalo division will arrive and depart from upper station, as follows, stopping at Junc tion also: Arriving, 11:35 a m.; 7:55 p. m. Senator Magee Dead. Senator Christopher Lyman Magee, of Pittsburg, editor, statesman, philan thropist and financier,died at Harris burg last Friday. The Nation, State and Allegheny county loses a valued citizen. During the past three years Senator Magee has been in declining health and took little interest in public affairs. His funeral took place at Pitts burg on Tuesday, where he is greatly beloved and respected. In politics Senator Magee was a power—feared and respected for his honorable, manly manner of meeting those with whom he differed. He was one of the Grant 306 delegates in 1880 and has been a member of every Republican National Convention since. Of late years he has been identified with the Insurgeant element opposed to the Republican party. We knew the deceased person ally and always respected him for his many manly traits—blunt, honest and truthful. His place in the county and State is surely vacant. The honor shown his name is a fitting testimonial to C. L. Magee. IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE TO BUFFALO. The Pennsylvania Railroad to Inaugurate Double Daily Fast Train Service Be tween Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Buffalo. On March 18 the Pennsylvania Rail road Company will place in effect its new schedule of passenger trains be tween Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash ington and Buffalo.

Mr. Howard made several bequests outside of the family. One of these ia for $20,000 to the incorporated trustees of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, in trust, to keep the same invested on good and substantial security, and to pay over the interest, income, or dividends in equal semi-an nual installments for the support of public worship of Almighty God in All Saints' Memorial Chapel To the Williamsport Hospital §5,009 is left in trust, to keep invested and to use and apply the interest, income or dividends tor the support and main tenance of a bed in the hospital to be known as "The William Howard Free Bed." If the hospital ceases to exist, or the fund is used for any other pur pose, the §5,000 reverts to the estate and is to be distributed according to the interstate laws. The Home for the Friendless also gets $5,000 in trust, and the interest, income or dividends goto the support and maintenance of the institution.

To his wife he also leaves his home stead, the house and lot on Main street, this city, with the stable, household efl'ty ts and personal property (except notes, accounts, certificates or stocks; bill receivable, bonds, life irsuranee policies and the like) for life and after her death is goes to his grandson, God frey Woodhead Howard, his heirs and assigns forever. In the event of the decease of the grandson before Mrs. Howard's without leaving to survive him any child or children then, at and after the death of Mrs. Howard, it goes to the granddaughter, Marcia K.

To his executors, and their succes sors, he leaves in trust $40,0000, to keep invested, and to pay over the interest, income, or dividends, in equal monthly installments to his son, Samuel Titus Howard, during his life, but so that the same shall not be liable for debts of his son. At his death the executors shall pay over the $40,000 to the grand children living at the time, and to the lawful issue of them who may be de ceased, share and share alike. To Wildwood Cemetery Company he leaves S3OO in trust, to invest and use the interest to keep in good order the Howard lot, monument and head stones. One-half of all the rest and residue of the property, real, personal and mixed, goes to the executors in trust, to invest and pay over the interest in semi-annual installments to his grand son, Godfrey Woodhead Howard, until he is 25 years old. If then, in the judgment of the executors it shall ap pear that he is a sober and well doing man, competent to care for and man age his estate, the principal is to be paid him. If he is not then competent to care for the bequest, the executors shall continue to pay over to him the interest, or until such time during his life when in the judgment of the exec utors he is able to care for the money, when he gets the principal. If he dies before the principal is transferred, then the money goes to his children, if he has any; if he lias none, then it goes in trust for the granddaughter of William Howard, or* her issue. The remaining one-half of all the rest and residue of the property, real, personal and mixed, is left to the exec utors in trust, to pay over the interest to Marcia K. Howard, the granddaugh ter, until she is 25 years old. If she is then capable of taking care of it, she gets the principle, but, if not compe tent, she continues to get the interest until such time after she is 25 years of age, as in the judgment of the execu tors she is capable of caring for the principal, when that is to be given her. If she dies before the transfer of the principal, it goes to her children, if she has any; if not, to William Howard's grandson. The executors are allowed to sell any and all the real estate except the homestead. Leg Broken.
