Mr. Solomon Markle, who for the past ten years has, with his family, been a resident of Altoona, died suddenly in his shoemaker shop, on Seventeenth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, on Friday evening. Death was the result of apoplexy.

Coroner Glenn being summoned, responded and on his arrival impannelled the following jury: Frank Mnguire, foreman; Hugh Wyrough, W. H. Gotschall, Charles Scott Williams and Joseph L. Shannon. Joseph Pcddicord was the principal witness examined.

Mr. Peddicord testified that he was sitting in Mr. Markle's shop between 6 and 7 o'clock thateyening and was engaged in conversation with the deceased. The conversation was concerning the relative brightness of men, each taking opposing views. Mr.

Markle made a reply to argument advanced, and as the last words were spoken Mr. Peddicord noticed that his face was changing color, and before he could goto his relief Mr. M. fell over on his work-bench. Mr.

Peddicord lifted him up and placed him in a more comfortable position, and a boy who was. present placed a coat under his head. Dr. Feltwell was summoned to the scene as was also one of the Catholic clergy, who ministered to him. Death resulted soon after the stroke.

E. Church. Sunday was the annual missionary day in Eighth uvenue Methodist Episcopal church. Addresses were made in tie morning by Miss Jennie M. Gheer, who has been laboring as a missionary in Japan and by the pastor of the church, Rev.

S. Creighton. Miss Gheer spoke of the general invitation given in the gospel to all mankind to come and be saved, contrasted the home? of the heathen with those of Christian nations, spoke of the many gods worshiped by those who know not the true God, and by facts that came under her own observation showed that the people of heathendom are eager for religious light and knowledge. While the United Stales can boast of a population of sixty millions with access to an open Bible, and being under the blessed influences of the are 400,000,000 people in China and millions in Japan, India, Africa and other heathen nations bowing down to gods made by hands, and ignorant of the Savior that was born in Bethlehem. Amid all this darkness and superstition she showed that a grand work was being done by the missionaries, and that if the Christian church would do its duty the whole world would in time be redeemed to God.

She referred to the introduction of Christianity into Japan, and as a result thereof hospitals, asylums and other institutions had been built, the telegraph and railroad introduced and the power of Christianity was being felt upon the hearts and minds of the millions who believe in Confucianism. Her address was replete with facts and information and was listened to attentively. In the evening the missionary services were continued, the church being crowded. The pastor conducted the opening service, after which W. II.

Schwartzdelivered a brief MRS. JANE BRAWLEY. An Estimable Lady Dies at Her Home in Our Ilollidaysburg correspondent write: Tuesday morning, the 23rd at the hour of 2 o'clock, Mrs. Jane, the wife of Mr. John Brawley, whose serious illness was, several days ego, noted in the Tribune, passed away.

Her disease was paralysis, of which she had been a patient sufferer for six years. Her end, however, was peaceful, and death came without a struggle. The deceased was an estimable lady and was greatly respected by all who knew her, and she leaves to mourn her death a husband and six children, two daughters and four sons, all of whom are grown. Deceased was aged 05 years, having been born on the 11th day of December, 1822, near Lock Haven, in what is now Clinton county. Her maiden name was Miss Jane Salts-man, and she was united in marriage to Mr.

John Brawley, at her home in Lock Haven, on the 17th day of December, 1840, by Rev. Mr. Boyd, pastor of the Presbyterian church at that place. For a number of years her home was in Cambria county, of which her husband was elected sherili' in 1849. She removed with her family to Ilollidaysburg in the spring of 1861, where she has resided, highly respected and esteemed by everybody, ever since.

At an early period in life, in her girlhood days, she professed her love and faith in Jesus Christ and united with the Presbyterian church, ol which she has ever since been a devoted and consistent member. Mrs. Brawley was an affectionate and dutiful wife and a kind and devoted mother, and her memory will be sacredly cherished by the large family of faithful sons and daughters whom she carefully reared and properly instructed. County Superintendent Cramer Dead. Johnstown Tribune, January 24: Professor Thomas J.

Ilell, of the Millville schools, received a telegram from Loretto today announcing the death of his cousin, William Justin Cramer, superintendent of the public schools of Cambria county. The telegram did not state at what hour Mr. Cramer expired. 1 1 is death was the result of BASELY DECEIVED. David H.

RisBell Marriesan Altoona Lady While He Had a Wifo The Altoona Sunday News of January 15 contained an item copied from the Kunbury Daily which had reference to the marriage of David II. Rissell, of Milton, and Miss Ida Phillips, of the same place, an event which occurred about eleven years ago. Three yeirs ago the couple moved to Sunbury where he engaged as a fireman on a railroad. Some months ago Rissell came to Altoona and secured employment as a brakeman on the Pittsburgh division and on May 19, 1887, he was married by Rev. S.

Creighton, to Miss Belle Bohn, of this city. After the marriage they went to board with Mrs. Bohn, on Twentieth Seventh and Eighth avenues. Some time after the marriage Mrs. Rissell was told that her husband had a wife living and this led her to ask him She married him under the impression that his wife was dead as he had stated to her.

He replied that his wife was not dead, but that he was divorced aud- when asked for the divorce papers in the matter he stated it had been burned in the Milton fire. An investigation of the matter followed and letters were written to Sunbury and the replies were evidence that Miss Bohn has been a greatly wronged woman. One letter received gives Rissell a very unsavory reputation and speaks of him as having several wives. This letter is from his first wife and it also states that she? has obtained a divorce from him. Another letter stales that Mrs.

Ida Rissell brought a suit of divorce against David H. Rissell, it being No. 186, December term, 1886. A decree was made-in the case by the court on October 27, 1887. The letter further says "decrees in divorce are not put on record and are not regarded as decrees until the costs are paid." These were ordered to be paid by David (I.

Rissell. The letter, which was written in reply to one from a relative of Miss Bohn in this city says further: "This is evidently your man as the evidence shows he is married to one Belle Bohn of Altoona." The evidence referred to is that obtained during the trial of the application made for divorce by Ris-sell's first wife. The letter was written December 2, 18S7. As the decree was made on October 27, and Rissell was married in May previous it is proven that he was a married man at the time he married Miss Bohn unless lie secured a divorce in the west. Miss Bohn is an innocent victim of a heartless man.

For years she was the main standby of her widowed mother, and now the home is broken up by one who was sup A PLEASANT EVENT. Marriage of Mr. W. J. Heinslina- and Mibo Nannie J.

Throug-h to the Pacific. Heretofore it has necessary for through passengers to the Pacific coast to re-check their baggage either at Council Bluff's, Kansas City or New Orleans, as the eastern lines were not permitted to check through to points beyond the Missouri river. By an agreement of the trunk lines, however, a through system of checking lias been perfected which enables the eastern roads to check through to any point on the Pacificcoast. The arrangement will become operative to-day. The Pennsylvania iail-road company, with the usual promptness in securing every advantage for its patrons, has adopted the system, and it will go into effect on Monday.

By it travelers to the west will be relieved of the great annoyance of having to make a new start, as it were, at the western or southern termini of the eastern railroads.
