DEATH OK CAPTAIN K. RANDOLPH
BRKKHE.—'The ad intelligence of tho death
of the subject of this article, was received
hero on Tuesday forenoon. That ho was
lying dangerously ill at Newport, K. 1.,
was generally known, Gov. C'urtin and his
family having been hastily summoned to
his bed side, ilis death will be universally
regretted by all in this community who
were so fortunato as to form his acquaint*
anco. His brief residence in Bellefonte
was very pleasant to his largo circle of
friends, lie was a most polished, elegant
and accomplished gentleman. Ho had rare
conversational powers and his mind was a
perfect store house of Interesting knowl
edge which ho had gathered in every quar*
tor of the globe. He was as gallant a sea
man as ever trod the deck of a ship, and
like all brave men he was kind, gentle and
modest in his manners, lie was married
to Marcy S. Curtin, second daughter of
Governor Curtin, on the 23d of July, 1873.
Tho fruits of this marriage have been four
children. One of the beautiful traits of
Captain Breeso's character was intense de
votion to his family. His wife and
children were to him tho whole world
and to be with them the greatest en
joyment ho knew. This will make the
blow to them all tho harder to bear.
Captain ISrecse was almost constantly on
duty and his visits to Bellefonte have been
unfrequenl. But for the last year ill health
compelled ' him to relinquish tho active
duties of his profession and a great portion
of that period ho spent in Bellefonte. Ho
was born in Pennsylvania, but was as
signed his position in the Navy from
lthode Island in 1R I*l, and immediately
found active servico during tho entire pe
riod of the Mexican war. He served in
the gulf squadron and was present at the
seigo of Vera Cruz. After this he was
stationed in many parts of the world, win
ning promotion at different periods until
tho commencement of the war of the Be
hellion. Ho was then a lieutenant on the
Portsmouth and commanded the third
j division of the mortar flotilla at the bom
bardment of Forts Jackson and St. Philip.
Thence, through all tho operations about
Vicksburg and in tho dangerous service
which culminated in the attack on Fort
Fisher and the subsequent operations on
| Cape Fear river, CepL Breese bore a gal
lant part. On more than one occasion ho
distinguished himself and the record that
will follow him to his last resting place is
as proud and pure a one ns any man can
hope to win. He wa associated with Ad
miral Porter during tho entire war and
repeatedly received tho thanks of hit com
manding officer for Efficiency and zeal in
| the discharge of his important and rcsjxin
sible duties, Upon one occasion General
Sherman, in an official report, warmly
commended LieutenantCommand'r Breese
' for his hearty and effective co-operation in
the combined attack upon Haines' Bluff.
His record as a brave sad gallant defend
er of the flag it written over the pages of
the history of two wars. Had it not been
for the spirit of favoritism that ruled tho
administration of Hayes, Captain Ilrn
would haro been made a Commodore.
His distinguished services and his rank in
tho navy entitled him to this distinction.
But a number of names were unfairly
placed on the rolls of the nary and Capt.
Breese, with many others, was denied a
Just recognition. If. >wover, earthly honors
would not have preserved bis life to his
sorrowing family and friends. He hat
gone where the king and the peasant are
equal. We tender to his stricken wife and
his family our sincere and heartfelt sym
pathy. ('apt. Breese had just passed his
•Kith year, and the cause of bis death was
heart disease.

and parted, not on tho tented field of con
flict, hut in the sylvan rolroal of our littlo
mountain city's pic nic grounds. For
weeks, aye months, the chief topic of con
versation. has been the Re-union pic nic of
our bold "soger hoys." Ho absorbent was
this topic that it eclipsed all other social
gatherings, even the great Granger pic nic
was seldom mentioned. Several days pre
vious to the time, Mr- David Borrcll, Pre
sident of the Spring Mills Veteran Club,
called a meeting of tho veterans und citi
zen* for the purpose of preparing for the
occasion. Mr. George A. Rank was cho
sen chairman, or Director General, of the
the work, arid various committees appoin
ted to get the grounds ready, and maka the
noeessary preparation. A stand for the
speakers was erected, arid tastefully decora
led with evergreen* and flags. Commodi
ous seats were arranged lor those who wish
ed to listen to the addresses. Large tubs,
or rather hogsheads, whrc placed in differ
ent parts of the ground filled with iec wa
ter, where the thirsty could quench their
thirst. Every thing possible was doue to
make tho meeting a pleasant and agreea
ble one.
On the morning of that day and while
old Sol. was scarcely above the borison the
crowd began to gather. They came from
hillside and hollow, from mountain and
from vale until it seemed as if tho very
••arth was giving up the dead, so thick and
fast did they pour in. It is estimated that
there wero three thousand persona on the
ground. About '.i o'clock the veterans of
the various club* were formed in lino on
the green opposite the hotel by Chief
Marshal Jno. R. Tale and Assistant Mar
shals James Keniiellry and Will K rape,
and at the command of "forward, march''
ail started for the picnic grounds at the
foot of tho mountain. The meeting being
railed to order by the President of the
Centro County Veteran's Association was
opened with prayer by Rev G. A. Marr.
After various exercise* the crowd was dis
missed for the purfxrae of refreshing the
inner man. Table* loaded down with
cakes, chickens, pies, and other edibles,
100 numerous to mention, were to he seen
scattered throughout the grounds, to which
the hungry ones were cordially invited.
After dinner the audience was railed to
order by General Beaver, who introduced
J. Merrill Linri, af Lewisburg. As the
train on which the *|>eaker was to return
home, whistled soon efse'r he arose to
s|x>ak, he cut it off very short, and closed
by inviting us all to the reunion of the
61st regiment, at Lewisburg. Capt. Linn

formerly of Bellefonte, who paid a glow
ing tribute- to Lis fellow-comrade* of Cen
tre county. He wa* followed by Pennsvl
vania's War Governor, ex-Gov. A. G.
Curtin. who delivered a masterly oration
on "National Patriotism." This was con
sidered by all who heard it the crowning
eff.rt of the day.
Some very appropriate remarks were
also made by President Taylor, of the
Mifflin County Association, and by Capt.
Marks, of Lewistown. Invitation* were
then given to all old soldier* who were
not members of the club to step up, fork
over a dollar and have their name* put on

—On last Saturday morning, at about
four o'clock, the large frame flourering
mill of Mr. Wm. J. Thompson, at Potter's
Mills, was discovered to be on fire, and
before any one could reach the burning
building the flames were under such head
way that ihey could not bo subdued. The
building and all the valuable machinery
it contained were totally destroyed. To
make the matter worse Mr. Thompson
had permitted bit insurance policies to ex
pire and unfortunately had no insurance
upon the burned projwrly. This is the
second disastrous fire that he has met with
in the past two years and the loss is a very
severe one to him. Ills many friends
deeply sympathise with him in his misfor
tune. Besides the building and machin
ery, about four hundred bush el# of w heat
are burned, and the losa cannot be much
lets than slo,tioo.
