Miss Harriet Rupert died a, the home Of
her late brother Hon. l.. d. Rupert on
Third Street last Saturday morning, at the
age Of nearly eighty.four years. She al
ways enjoyed good health until few years
ago, when she fell down stairs making her
cripple, and necessitating the use OF
cane. One week previous to her death she
complained Of severe headsche-none OF
her friends, however, felt any alarm, until
the Tuesday following, when dangerous
symptoms manifested itself. Slowly and
peacefully her life ebbed away until Satur-
day morning when the heart ceased to
beat. She was the last OF family OF
twelve children, and the tenth In age, her
brother Leonard b., who died last spring
being youngest. OF her six sisters only
two were ever married-iour together with
Miss Harriet, preferring to live unmarried
lives. Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon, conducted by the pastor OF the
Presbyterian church. A large number of
friends attended the funeral to show by
their presence the high esteem In which
she was held, and to look once more upon
the face of one who always had a good
| word for everybody.

to Mr.. Weaver, one of the proprietors. He
soon arrived and in company with Walter
Edmunson entered the cellar from the out
side with the street hose, and in about half
an hour had the fire under control. The
Friendship hose carriage and hose were on
hand, but were directed not to turH on wat
or unless 80 ordered. Great credit is due
Mrs. VIM. Gilmore and Mrs. Vim. Webb.
In the absence of their husbands who were
at the freman's reunion at Carlisle, they
unlocked the hose house and got the car
rage out and gave directions to the men,

saw that the carriage was returned The
fire occurred in the banana room and wa'

city, but for many years past western
cities have enjoyed the honor. Washing

well be said shat no city in the world is
better adapted to such purpose. Wide

form back ground for grand spectacu-
ar display, that cannot be surpassed in
America. 1t will be gala week in the
Capital, and thousands Of people will go
to witness 1t.
In order that every inducement may be
offered the Pennsylvania Railroad Com

mans Dramatic Company, on Friday
evening, September 9th. Wherever they
have been the press speaks Of them in the
highest terms. The following is taken
from the Williamsport Sunday Breakfast
Tdble
The play OF "Daniel Boone" is pictur-
esque and realistic, and gives an accurate
delineation OF the pioneers life IN the early
days. There are many thrilling situations,
and not too much blood.letting aud scalp
taking, which generally gut and spoil
plays Of this nature. Dashes OF humor
brighten up the action at judicious inter-
walls. The scenery is all that could be de-
sired, and taken altogether 1t may be said
that the show is the best on the road. j.
L. Ungerer gives us, as "Blacktish," as
fierce and ferocious looking a savage as one
would wish to keep a safe distance from In
the wild west. Little Irene, the child ac-
tress, was indeed "wild rosebud" whose
opening petals just suggest the beauties
that will expand and mature with time.
J. II. Griffiu, as ''Sol Butternut," an old.

as "Sallie Bush," full Of pluck and fun,
kept the ball Of merriment rolling.

street parade ever given by any theatrical
company. Don't miss it.
