Death of Robert Barre.

  A telegram was received here on Sunday afternoon by Trainmaster 
Snyder, of the Altoona division, announcing that his brother-in-law, 
Mr. Robert Barre, of Pittsburgh, was dying.  Mr. Barre is a brother of 
Mrs. Snyder, who immediately started for the home of the sick man.  
Before she reached there, however, another telegram was received 
containing the intelligence of his death.  Mr. Barre was about 30 years 
of age, a machinist by occupation, and was employed in one of the many 
establishments on the South Side.  Death was caused by typhoid fever, 
his illness having only extended over a period of one week.  He leaves 
a wife and one child, also his mother, two sisters and three brothers.
