Last Friday afternoon about 3:15

of National Transit Company. The
suicide left the Warner House shortly
after six o'clock in the morning, tell
ing the teamster to meet him at the
hotel in a short time and drive him to
Cameron, where the men were work
ing on the line Mr.. Mitchell had evil
IDENTIFY gone to the mountain with
the express intention of committing
the act. When found he had spread
his coat on the ground and sat down
on the tail, 50 that after firing the IA
tai shot he fell back onto the coat.
The ball entered his head back of the
right ear, resulting no doubt in instant
death. The revolver was lying under

a Lock Haven correspondent OF
Williamsport Grit says: Edgar C.
Mitchell, whose body was found along
the pipe line of the American Transit
company near Emporium by pipe
line walker yesterday, with bullet
hole in his head, was a former Lock
Haven boy. He was a son of the late
Ira G. Mitchell, the one time brilliant
lawyer and afterwards preacher, who
resided alternately in this city and in
Bellefonte. Edgar, whose somewhat
mysterious death caused much sur
prise among his old friends here, grew
into young manhood in this city. He
resided with his uncle, Mr.. n. NJ.
Leathers, on East Church street, and
received much of his education in the
First ward schools. Having been a
class mate of his, the writer can
attest to his aptness and rapid advance
in his studies. Later he became a
telegraph operator and about Is years
ago left this city. He resided happily
with his wife at Lancaster and foI
some years had been in the employ Of
the American Transit company in the

Obituary,

George w. Holcomb was born in
Barton, New York, Feb. 1G, 1855 and
died at st. Joseph Hospital at Fort
Wayne, Ind, August 10, 1900. He was
married to Miss Ida Robinson Of Full
mer Valley, N. Y, Sept. 3, 1876. To
them was born one child son who died
at the age of 49, The aifliction that
carried our brother away began about
two years ago which proved later to he
cancer Of the stomach and liver. These
years were of intense suffering though
borne without complaint
About three weeks ago he expressed
desire-to be baptized and received into
membership in the Methodist Episcopal
Church which was accordingly done.
Ever since then it has been one constant
decline to the death. Our brother was
not afraid to die. He had all the in
stincts of a man that led to love of life
and desire for ultimate recovery. But
and was perfectly willing to obey the
Divine call and hailed the time come
for him to go. He had a good heart
that duly appreciated any kindness
that was shown him. Often during his
sickness when illusions were made to
the taithfulness of his wife his eyes
flowed like a fountain Of tears. The at
tention of the sisters at the hospital was
recognized and appreciated to the last
moment. The last thing that he did
was TO recognize and speak the name of
his wife when his soul went to God in
a chariot Of fire The beautiful emblem
of flowers that now rests on his bier was
given by the brothers of the Maccabees
Of Fort Wayne with many other acts of
kindness that were duly appreciated.
He leaves in the immediate family an
adopted daughter, wife and one brother
He was a member Of the Knights of the
Maccabees in Andover, N. Y.

HIS THRIFT GAVE HIM AWAY.
Te1ltale Scraps of Paper Upon which
Clergyman Wrote.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Habits of thrift are generally commend
able, but sometimes they give cause for
amusement without the persons practicing
them being aware of 1t. This was the case
recently with a well-known clergyman,

This clergyman receives a salary of IS COO
a year and has in addition a comfortable
income of his cwn. He is a liberal giver
to many charities, lives in a handsome
brown stone house and apparently has less
reason for economy than the average clti-
zon, yet he has one habt-perhaps better
one idiosyncrasy-that might well be taxi
