POTTERTWP, FARMER LEAVES HOME
Friday Morning for Bellefonte, and Falls
to Heturn-A Woman sald to be Mixed
Up ia the Case,
Arthur M. Grove, a young and well-
to-do farmer, living east of Centre
H all, left bis home Friday of last week
for Bellefonte, to which place he said
he was going to purchase a pimp to
be used in a two hundred-foot well
recently drilled on the Grove farm.
He told Mrs. Grove he would tele-
phone back to his home on reaching
Mr. Garbrick’s, where he expected to
make the purchase. As the hours
passed by Mrs, Grove became anxiou
to know whether or mot her husband
nad reached the destinstion for which
he had apparently set out, 80 a tele-
phone message was seat to Mr, Gar-
brick. Thereply came back that Mr
Grove had not bean at the Garbrick
place of business, and further inquiry
at hotels and stores revealed that he
had not been seen in the county seat.
When the train returned in the af-
ternoon without Myr. Grove being =
passenger, speculation began, Mr.
Grove had not beens in the habit of
going to Bellefonte by train, although
he makes the trip frequently, Iu fact,
it is said, he had not been on a rail-
road train as a passenger since he was
a boy, and this fact at once led the
suspicious to susp’ cion.
Incidents of the day began to be
coupled, and in a short time a com-
pleted story was spun. No elory is
really good without a women in the
case, and so with this, a woman
sought for and found. Mr, Grove
boarded the train at Peans Cave sta.
tion, less than a mile from his howe, |
and at Ceotre Hall & Miss Floray was
a waiting passenger, with suit case in
hand ands ticker for Altoona Sue
boarded the train, bat no one has any
definite knowledge that the two pre-
arranged the trip or whether their
meeting wa by accident
The girl, for she is less than
teen yearsold, is a resident of Centre
Hill, where her parents live. For =a
part of the time, Imst summer,
was employed as a
Grove home.
There are many stories sflnat, and
they are, of course, Iargely the pro-
duct of fertile minds. Oe rumor
that Mr Grovesold sail bis grain and
left withagwd supply of cash, and
that he borrowed money on his real
estate to add to his funds He and
his sister, Mis Annie Grove, own the
farm on which be lives, which would
make it comparatively easy to secure
several thounod dollars, if he chose
to Another story, in which
some of his tela ives believe, is that
his mind kcame umubalanced on se
count of his prolonged ill health, and
that he either comms it ted suicide or is
wandering about simalessly,

1 bad never received a word of instruc
tion from that great educator in the class
room, 1 would ever feel indebted to him
for his invaluable lessons he taught me
by his reverent manner, by his kindness
and friendship.” This one may say of
our de parted friend. He honored men.
He approached all men on the plane of a
common manhood ; he rspected the
opinions of his pupils as well as those of
his friends and other educators, He has
been known, when he thought he had of-
fended any ome unintentionally, to «it
down and write an humble apology. He
did not wish to hurt or offend any one in
any way. His exalted conception of
the worth and dhignity of man controlled
his conduct toward his fellows,
Dr. Wolf was a very hopeful man ; he
had a spirit of bopefultess, which filled
him with constant good cheer, which
served to brighten the life of all around
him, Even during his last two or three
feeble years this same spirit of good
cheer was always with him, and it was a
cheer and an uplift to a sad and depress
ed heart to meet him and greet him. In
common conversation | always found
that he had unwavering faith in the su-
promacy and triumph of the good
With this buoyant spirit of hope and
good cheer he passed the years up to the
very end. His religion was not an oe-
sasional impulse, but a permanent living
principle. It imparted dignity to bis
countenance and weight to his character,
Seldom has death gained a richer trophy,
Ah, no ; death has not gained, bat life
has gained the victory. The crowning
glory of his lite was to be found in the
beauty and grandeur of his christian
character. His life was pure and sim-
ple without guile. Faults he had as
have the rest of men ; we do not mean
to say that he was without sin, for there
was only one such, but there was in him
an incocence of life, a sincerity of mo-
tive, an honesty of purpose and a con-
sistent devotion to principle which made
him a brother beloved among all who
knew him. A t character is alwaye
a true friend. Dr. Wolf's friendship
was deep, but very quiet—he loved men

In this is the hope and joy of a moble
; the embodiment of a personality
whom n dare affront radiates and
sheds light forever. The teaching of
morals, goodness friendship, kindnes-
as well as intellectual abilities makes a
symmetrical character. To come it
contact with such personality, such a
life is an inspiration
legarding the 1ainistry as the high-
est object of a students ambition, Dr.
Wolle won many to serviceat the sitar
who are bright and shining lights in the
church. He has become an inspiration
and an uplift to a great band of noble
men and women scattered all over this
county. Such was his personality and
inspiring power. What was it that
brought the teachers, and ministers, and
physicians, and friends a thousand
miles, when word was sent out that a
reunion would be held to the honor of
Dr. Wolf ? Not the knowledge he had
imparted, not his intellectual instruc-
tion, but his personality, his Kindness,
goodness, friendship ~-this was the
drawing power. He was a friend to all,
in the big things, in the little things.
Why, he would remember his friend's
children with tokens of love on their
! birthdays, on the important festival
days of the church year. A friend in
all things.
| But there is another characteristic in
{our departed friend which I regard as
i more important and prominent than all
{others—his intense attachment to the
church, and especially that branch of
the church to which he was immediately
connected. But he was not bigoted.
' He could discern denominational im-
perfections. He did not consider his
particular church the only church. He
was hberal in this respect, as becomes a
broad minded man. Dr, Wolf had the
| oldest membership in the West Susque-
{hanna Classis. Many tithes did the
| church confer on him high honors as
| grisident of Classis, delegate to Eastern
Synod, and to General Synod many
| times. He served on may important
committees in church work. And as
| president of Classis, I speak in the name
of Classis, when I ny that his charmi
resence in the meetings of Classis wi
p greatly missed. While in late years
he did not speak much of the floor of
| Classis on aceount of physical weakness,
i yet his very presence was an advocate
of peace and harmony, and added
dignity, He was a splendid, instructive
entertaining speaker on any subject,
He was an authority on constitutional
questions, and purlibmentary rules. His
relation to the brethren is seen in the
fact that ffequently they went to him
for advice and counsel on all manner of
interests. But all this has ended. We
