News From a Nice Mining Ex-postmaste" L. H. Erdice died at. his home near the railroad station last Wednesday morning of heart disease. Mr. Erdice had been failing: in health for two years past, but was able to be around until about nix weeks before hia death, since whioh time he has been cjnlined to the house. His death was looked for at any time for two weeks bofore it came. He was born in Mercer county in LS48, removing with his parents in 1850 to Brookville where he has lived ever since. He was a carpenter by trade, was appointed poetmaster of Brookville during Mr. Cleveland's first term, and assistant postmaster under Walter Richards, during Cleveland's second term. His funeral took place Friday, services were conducted by Dr. James Conway, pastor of tho Presbyterian church, and a volunteer choir led by H. H. Broslus. The remains were given burial in the Brookville cemetery. He left surviving him his wife, two children, girls, aged 12 and 5 years, his aged mother, one brother, W. C. Erdice, of Pittsburg, and three sisters, Mrs, Mary Rodgers, of TifHn, Ohio; Mrs. Lizzie Jamison of Butler county and Mrs. Sedelia Hodgkinson, of Brookville. Mr. Erdice was a man of strictest integrity, strong in his likes and dislikes and left many friends who sincerely mourn his loss. Walter L. M tin's big show brought an immense crowd to Brookville last Friday. The hotels were full from early in the day. It was impossible to get stable room for all the hones that brought the crowds to town. The streets wore lined with all sorts of conveyances. 11 is conceded to be the largest crowd gathered together in many years. The show was good but carried with it a lot of fakirs who swindled evoryone who could bo gulled. Several were taken in to the tune of twenty dollars each, while those who lost from one to ten dollars on the tlim flam games were numerous. Owing to some difference of opinion between the Town Council and the contractor, Jefferson street has been closed. W hat the outcome will be remains to he seen, but under present conditions it is a great annoyance to say the least, to the residents along that thoroughfare. On account of necessary excavations in the center of Pine street it is also closed. With the closing ofthesj streets and the rebuilding of three bridges, Brookville is in a bad way, p.'irticularly for straugers arriving hereafter dark aud being compelled to pick their w»y over unknowo roads. The Brookville Republican has taken possession of its new office in the brick building specially built for it by R. M. Matson oil Pickering street. While tho interior is not quite completed it is near enough so that the boys manage to get around in good shape. .< H H Resolutions of Rxpwt Lather Lloyd Gourley, Reynoldsville, and Mary Rath Sutter, West Reynold bville, September 15.
