Death of Frank M. Prim.

  Frank M. Prim, of Fifth avenue between Eighth and Ninth streets, died 
at his home at about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.  For a long time he 
has suffered of Bright's disease of the kidneys, which affected his 
eyes, nearly destroying his sight.  About two weeks since he visited 
Philadelphia, where a physician told him to return home, as he was 
incurable.  A few days after he took to his bed, never to rise again.  
Deceased was about 33 years, and was employed as a watchman at the 
lower shops.  A few years since he married Miss Annie Reed, of 
Duncansville, who survives him.  He was a consistent member of the 
Third Methodist Church, and also of the Altoona Lodge of Odd Fellows 
and of the Mountain City Band, both of which latter organizations will 
attend the funeral in a body.  The funeral will take place on Friday 
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
