Bishop Taluct Condve-ed a Pathetic and Uausual Ceremony Over Pemrins oi Miss Electro Lever. From Monday Scram on Tribune, There is an unusually sad feature in connection with the death of Kl ectra Lauer, the fixtein-year-old ! dnughter of Letter Carrier and Mrs. Victor Lauer which oecured on Sat urday morning. She was an attendant at St. I) .vid's Kpiseopal church and a number of the class which was to be centirmed by Bishop Talbot yesterday. She I looked forward to the evenh with ! much pleasure and pride and regret-" ted exceedingly during her last days that her illness would probably pre vent her confirmation. Last Wednesday the rector, Rev. W. I-"red Allen, was visiting her and after prayer, Miss Lauer thanked the rector, but remarked with much pathos that -lie grieved very much that she could not attend continua tion. "Don't worry, my daughter," remarked the rector, "if you are too ill on Sunday 1 promise you that the bishop will come here and confirm you in your room." A glow of pride sull'used her wan face anil it was evident to all that the promise had brought joy to her soul. She frequently r ferred to her coming confirmation and il was one of the thoughts that brightened the evening of her young days amid the shadow of death. Saturday morn ing she passed peacefully away into the presence of the (Jrent Bishop. Yesterday afternoon Bishop Talbot fulfilled the promi-o to the dead and celebrated a ceremony as pathetic as it was unusual. After the rite of continuation had been celebrated at St. David's church he drove up to the Lauer home and in the presence of the relatives and a few friends con ducted the alternative office of bless ing the remains. The ceremony was s;id in the extreme and made an im press on the minds of those present \v7 years, 2 months and 4 days. Deceased was not only highly re spected but greatly beloved b\ her neighbors and all others who knew her intimately. "Grandeur of character" says Kmerson. "works in the dark and succors those who never saw it." Many have receiv ed help from her kindly influence who never knew the source from w hence it came. Such practical and indomitable workers a~ Mrs. Kicss enlarge belief in the reach of human virtue and earthly useful ness. A devoted wife, a most faith ful mother and helpful friend were the more prominent traits that dis tinguished her personality. She is survived by her husband, and eight children, John and < ieorgc jr. of Lycoming County; Harry, of Pittsburgh; Chris, of Somerset Co.; Mrs. .John Koch, of New York; Mrs, ,J. l\ Gray, of .Picture Hocks; Mrs. Win. Stackhouse. of Sones t-own, and Mrs. Charles L. Wing.of La portc. Funeral services will be held at Sonestown, Friday morning, meet ing at the residence !>:MO. Wife oi Congressman DieKcrman Dies After Protracted Illness. Mrs. (11. Dickcrman died at her home in Milton on Sunday, a few hours after being brought from n sanitarium in Philadelphia. She had been ill for some months and had recently suffered from an attack of peritonitis, from which she never rallied. i 75 TS. PER YEAR Dared to Cross Track Ahead of Engine. Lilc Crushed Ovf. A young boy named Justin was struck Saturday morning by the \\ iiliamsport and North Branch passenger train, which runs to To wanda,and so badly injured that In died shortly afterwards. The ac cident occ ured near Towajida, and was the result of a. piece of child; u bravado, in not taking the dare of a companion. Justin, who was about twelve years (if age, was playing with a boy of about bis own age near i lagei - nian's crossing. As they were play ing the passeager train came along and the companion of Justin dared him to cross the track. Fearing that be would be called a coward if In* did not take the dare, young Ju ti 11 started across the track He was part way over when lie caught his loot on a -pike and fell. The train was nearly on him and before lie could rise the engine struck him in the head, lie lived until a. few minutes after he had been taken to the Say re hospital. His body was badly mangled. MEMORIAL DAY NEXT. The Ranks of the Grand Army arc Rapid ly Thinning Out. Already the veterans are prepar ing for the coming of .Memorial Day, now less than two months off- Tin* (light of time, the thinning ranks and the tottering forms of those h-l'i behind have a tendency to increase reverence for the day. Therefore the recurrence of the anniversary should be made more and more sac red in it* observance. The average age of the survivors of the war is now past sixty years, and the de crease from year to year is very great indeed. The soldiers of 18'> 1 - ti") will soon be but a memory.
