They are opposed to the repeal of the act which repealed the fence law. In other words they are both opposed to fencing, but are trying to deceive the people by making them believe that, if elected, they will be guided by the voice ot the people,as expressed by an additional election for that purpose. Now in the first place such a thing is practically impossible, and in the second it is only a scheme of the Republican candidates by which they hope to fool the people. Suppose we had no fences. Sup- pose every farmer in the county should take down his fencing: What would be the result? The inevitable out-come would be continual litigation, neighbors wonld become {enemies the poor man must sell his cow and tenant farmers do away with thei stock. : How could the farmers along the Buffalo Run valley drive their cattle to the creek for water, after the season had dried up their cisterns ? With no fencing along ‘the roads it would be absolutely impossible for them to keep their stock off of their neighbors’ fields. Result—arrest for trespass and dam- ages. What would become of a man whose cow or horse got on the rail-road track and caused a wreck ? According to a recent decision of the Sapreme court in Ohio, he would be liable to the, railroad company for every dollar's worth of its property damaged. If the laboring man who lives on the side of Tussey, Nittany, Brush, Muncy or the Allegheny mountains should turn his cow out to pasture in the woods, the owners of the wild, unoccu. |. pied lands would sue him for dam- ages. : : The laborer in Bellefonte, Philips- burg, Milesburg, Howard, Millheim, and other towns in the county could not turn his cow out to pasture on the commons that surrounds all of these towns, They belong to some one, and, though they are not fenced up, thatsome one will arrest him and recover damages. Tenant farmers will no longer be able to herd their young cattle on {the mountain lands for summer pas- turage, as they have done in the past, and their only source of profit in farming will thus be removed. These are only a few of the results which would come from the election of either HamiLToN or DALE and you can readily see that a vote for either one of them is a vote against your best interests. Be sure of your men—no matter what others say—and vote for ScrorieLp and McCormick. ——Jou~ HaMirton's idea of a Lo- cal Option policy regarding ‘the fence law will be carried out on November 8th, but in a slightly different manner than the} would-be-legislator, from Col- lege township, suggests. The people of the county know that Messrs Mo- Cormick and ScHOFIELD are in favor of repealing the present law, and in do- ing everything in their power to pro- cure an enactment by which the poor man can keep his cow and derive some benefit from the thousands of acres of wild land pasturage in the county. Every voter in Centre county knows how silly is the idea to hold an additional election to see whether our people are in favor of fencing or not, when it can be done just as well in November. Poor man, vote for Ham" 1LToN or DALE if you think you have no further use for your cow. Vote for McCormick and ScuorieLp if you de- sire to keep one and be free of expen- sive litigation. —-Instead of finding a pot of gold rain-bow chaser, Jorn HamiLton, will tumble into a bowl of soup. The peo- ple want a man who says he is in fa vor of fencing and not one who tells them that they can settle it after he is elected. ——ZEvery vote for Joan HAMILTON or AL DaLEis just so much toward tak- ing the milk from the mouth of the poor man’s'babe. No one can keep a cow if we have no fences. The Penitentiary Yawns. For Such Brutes in Human Form as Insult Females. . Hu~TiNeDON, Pa, October 12.—An- other brutal assault on an unprotected female was perpetrated here last night. While returning to her home, after a visit to friends in West Huntingdon, at about half-past 9 o'clock, Mrs. George B. Long, an estimable young married woman, was waylaid on a lonely street by Charles Hawkins, colored, of Phila- delphia, a paroled inmate of the Hunt- ingdon reformatorv, and most fiendigh- ly assaulted. Mrs. Long resisted with desperation in defense of her honor, and in her struggles her clothing was torn into shreds. In order to subdue her screams he repeatedly kicked his pros- trate victim on the face and body, and otherwise fiendishly maltreated her. The brutal negro was given a hear- ing betore Justice Kelly and remanded to jail for hie appearance at court. Mrs. Long who is a frail young woman is said to bein a precarious condition from the effects of the as- gault. TT UT. Carnegie’s Slow Work. The Contract for Steel Armor Plate Transfer red to Bethlehem. WasuingroN, D. C. Oct. 10.—It has leaked out that Secretary Tracy has at last become tired of the delay of the Carnegiz Company in making the armor plate for the new cruiser New York, now building at the Cramps’ and has transferred the contract to the Bethlehem Steel and Iron Com- pany. There are still eleven plates for the water line belt of the New York unfin- ished and all the turret armor. This the Bethlehem Company has now been authorized to make. The Secretary is understood to be very much displeased at the failure of the Carnegies to fulfil their contract on time, as he is anxious to have the New York finished and put in commission before the end of bis term of office. This is now thought to be impossible. No Change in the Ballot. It Will Remain as at Present for Election Day HarrisBURG, Pa., Octr 9. -- No further change will be made in the form of the official ballot under the Ba- ker act so far as the State Department is concerned. After October 20 the nomi- nations on file in the department will be certified to the proper county officers, and the County Commissioners will have to arrange the ballot to suit them- selves. It is understood to-night that no more sample ballots will be sent out from the State Department. The only way the ballot can be shortened is by dividing the long column under the head, “By nomination papers.” Cholera Germs in Europe. The Plague Still Active in the Low Counties. AmsTerDAM, Oct. 10—Throughout Holland there are nine new cases of cholera and one death. BrusseLrs, Oct. 10. — Seven new .cases of cholera and one death have been reported in Molenbeck. A Popular Candidate. It has been a long time since there has been an aspirant for office in this county whose candidacy has met with such favor as that of JAMES ScHOFIELD. Because of his 22 years of successful business relations with the people of Centre county they have confidence in him, and are not slow in expressing it, and the highest compliment that he could possibly desire lies in the fact the districts in which he has done the largest business are the ones that most heartily endorsed him at their Prima- ries. There is nothing that will tell on a man’s character and principles like his dealings with others. It makes mighty little difference whether he be Irish, Dutch, Welsh or English so long a8 he is trustworthy and capable. Mr. ScHOFIELD is in favor of a fence law and in this is the friend of the poor man, whose organ, the Wage Earners Journal, had the following to say of him before his nomination for Legisla- tive honors: “James Schofield, of Bellefonte spent a couple of days in Philipsburg, this week among his friends, with a view of ascertaining their views to his fitness to occupy the position of one of the representatives of Centre County in the Legislature of the State. The gentleman’s friends were 80 numerous that he had a difficult time to get around, and his visit to the editor was very brief. It would not have matter- ed to us had he not called. We have known “Jim” too long to have been influenced one particle by what he would or would not say, now since he aspires to a seat in the State Legisla- ture. We have known him since a boy—and a bad boy at that. Just bad enough to be taken into McClure’s sad- dler shop, and made a harness maker of, but not quite bad enough to make a good printer's devil. ‘Jim’ served his trade faithfully, and turned out to be one of the best harness makers in the State, his best piece of work be- ing a set of harness valued at $450. Then he started a shop for himself, and now has the biggest institution of the kind in the county. At night he studied and read and read and studied, then began to dabble in politics, and turned outto be quite a good stump speaker, and popular with working- men and farmers because their welfare bas always been a sort of a hobby with him. Several years ago the peo- ple of Bellefonte wanted an A No. 1 man to fill the position of Overseer of the Poor and they elected “Jim,” and after serving one term elected him again and then again filling the office six years or three terms. The old Republicans were a little afraid of Jim's unadulteratered Democracy, bat he overcame the big Republican majority in that town, was elected, and gave the town a business like and economic administration. Now, hes out for the Legislature and we hope he'll get the nominaticn. We don’t hope so for his good but for the good of the people. The office will likely prove a loss to him but it wil! be the people’s gain. If he is elected, every interest in the county will be looked af- ter,and none will be served at the ex- pense of the other. Labor will have as good a friend and advocate in Mr. Schofield as it would have if it sent some man fresh from the ranks of or- ganized labor; the interests of the farmer will be guarded as rigidly as if that class in the county had sent the oldest granger in the county to Harris- burg, Mr. Schofield is honest, intelli- gentand a good talker. He will be able to do good work beth in the com- mittee rooms and on the floor of the House, If the Democracy nominate him, the people will ‘see that he is elected, and the Democracy of the county will add strength to the ticket by nominating him, No Use Botherin’ with that Hen. From the Richmond State. Yes, the south will be as solid in its Democracy this year as it ever was. Indeed, it wiil even be more solid than usual by giving larger Democratic ma- jorities. Virginia and West Virginia are the states that the Republicans make a special effort over in every presidential election, but they will both give fine majorities, Murat Halstead, one of the Republican oracles, was, up to a month ago, a great believer in the old program of trying to break the Democratic south. "Now he concedes that the south will remain loyal to the Democracy. He wails over the situa- tion, but calls on his party to recognize the fact and stop spending money on the third party. He advises them to turn their attention to the North and West. Race Trouble in Alabama. Negroes Shoot and Kill Mr. Johnson and His Daughter. MosIiLE, Ala., Oct. 10.—Steamboat men who passed Lower Peach Tree on the Alabama River, Saturday night, re- po that a citizen named Johnson and is daughter had been shot and killed by the negroes and Johnson's house burned, and that the whites were arm- ing ‘and preparing to fight.

It Is Frick's Turn Now—He With Oth- er Carnegie People, are Indicted for Murder—The Finding of the Grand Jury— The Action Something of a Surprise, but at the Same Time Little Commotion Was Caused by the Return Made by the Grand Jury—No Time Yet Set for the Trial. PrrTsBURGH, Pa., October 11.—At 8 o'clock this afternoon the grand jury re- turned true bills against the members of the Homestead advisory committee charged with treason. True bills were also returned against H. C. Frick, John G. A. Leishman, F. T. F. Lovejoy, Hen-- ry Curry, Superintendent Potter, Otis Childs and Nevan McConnell, Carnegie officials, Henry and Fred Pinkerton, Captain Cooper, Fred Primer and other Pinkerton detectives charged with mur- der and conspiracy. THE GROUNDS ON WHICH THE TRUE BILLS WERE FOUND. The grand jury sitting in the treason cases against the Homestead strikers and ‘the murder and conspiracy charges ; against H. C. Frick, various other offi- | cials of the Carnegie Steel company and | the Pinkerton detectives, at 8.10 this .i- | ternoon brought in true bllls inall the casés. After the charge to the grand ju- ry yesterday by Chief Justice Paxson, in the treason cases, it was thought that the murder charges would be postponed and when the jury reported on them al- so it came in the nature of a surprise. Chief Justice Paxson, of the supreme court of the state, and Judge Kennedy, of the county courts, occupied the bench. When the jury entered the court room Foreman Berlin presented the findings, which after examination by the judges were handed to the clerk of the courts. The bills against Hugh O’Donnell and others, for treason, include thirty-one de- fendants. The indictments for murder are for the killing of George W. Rutter, John E. Morsis, Joseph Sotak, H. Silas Wain, all strikers, and include H. C. Frick, chairman of the company; F. T. F: Lovejoy, secretary ; J. A. Potter, super- intendent; J. A. G. Leishman, vice chairman ; W. E. Corey, assistant super- intendent ; Nevin McConnell and James Dovey, mill bosses, and Robert Pinker- ton, William Pinkerton, C. W. Biddle, W. H. Burt, John Cooper and F. W. Hinde, of tke Pinkerton detective agen- cy. The bill for conspiracy embrace all those charged with murder, with the ad- dition of George Landes, H. M. Curry, Otis Childs, L. C. Phipps, of the steel ‘company, and Fred W. Primer, a detec- tive. Those charged with aggravated riot are H. C. Frick, H, M. Curry, J. G. A, Leishman, F. T. F. Lovejoy, L. C Phipps, J. 8S. Dovey; Nevin McCon- nell, John Cooper, C. W. Biddell, Fred Primer, W. H. Burt and F. W. Hinde." The indictment against the Carnegie officials for murder reads as follows in the case of Silas Wain: “The grand in- quest of the commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania * ¥* *° do present: That said defendants (who are named as above), on the 6th day of July, 1892, with force and arms then and there being, did make an assault on Silas Wain, and felonious- ly, maliciously and of their malice'afore- thought, did kill and murder contrary to the form of assembly * * * and against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.” .. The prosecutor in the murder cases is Hugh Ross, against whom there are counter charges of murder, treason, con- spiracy and riot. The witnesses for the prosecution were: Captain Huhn, F. G. Miller, Dr. Barton, Dr. Fogelson, C. E. Marcey, W. B. Rodgers, J. H. Gray, Dr. Osburn, Wm. Taylor, Dr. Purman, Dr. McCoslin, J. H. Gillan, Emma Nes- ter and Chas. Mansfield. The indict- ment against Mr. Frick and his associ- ates for conspiracy, sets forth, among other things, that ‘said defendant did unlawfully, falsely and maliciously con- spire, combine, federate and agree to- gether to depress. lower, lessen and di- minish wages, price and compensation of labor of diverse persons employed by the Carnegie steel company limited, to then and there close up the steel manu- facturing and to cease work and opera- tions therein, and thereupon to convey and caused to be sent 200 men and up- wards armed with guns, etc., tooverawe, intimidate and frighten divers persons in the arid township of Mifflin who were then lately before employed by the said Carnegie steel company to invade the said “township of Mifflin and to attack and to shoot off and discharge the said deadly weapons against said persons lately employed by said Carnegie steel company limited. In regard to the fight on July 6th, the bill says ¢ the defendants did coun- sel and advise the shooting.” Among the conspiracy witnesses is John McLuckie, burgess of Homestead. The indictment in the riot cases against Frick officials differs little from that in the conspiracy charge. The grand jury’s action did not cause much excitement among the public generally and the de- fendants themselves took it quite cooly; the Carnegie officials however, declined to be interviewed onthe subject of the charges. It is not known yet what term of the eriminal court the cases will be assigned. He Fled With $76,000. Ex-Treasurer M. J. O'Brien, of the Catholic Knights, Caught. Accused of having embezzled $76,000, M. J. O’Brien, formerly one one of the most prominent citizens of Chattanooga, Tenn, was reported to have been arrest- ed by Detective Sblessinger, of Hazen’s Detective Agency, in Philadelphia Mon- day evening. The offense was commited 18 months ago and he has been known to be in Philadelphia for two months or more. O’Brien’s offense was committed against the Catholic Knights of America.

Friends Respond to the Appeal—Chairman Har- rity's Mail is filled With Letters Containing Cheering Words and Cash— What a Campaign Costs. NEw York, Oct., 8. —The Democrat- ic national campaign of 1884, acccording to the best authorities, cost about $400,- 000, while that of 1888 cost about & mil- lion. The expenses of this campaign will run higher figures, for the reason that the fight extends over more States. Chairman Harrity reported to-day that good results were had from the appeal to the people. He had on his desk to-day Shunde of checks ranging from $5 to A CONTRIBUTION oF $10,000. In view of the call for funds by Chair- man Harrity there has been a natural interest to ascertain the size of the check contributed by ex-President Cleveland. It will be recalled that four years ago he sent his check to Chairman Brice for $10,000. The announcement made at headquarters to-day was that three weeks ago, Mr. Cleveland contributed his check for $10.000. The check was turned over to Treasurer Robert B. Roosevelt and by him sent through the Holland Trust Company. FRIENDS OF THE RIGHT SORT. It is also reported that Mr. Cleve- land’s personal friend, E. C. Benedict, Mr. Whitney and Mr. Dickinson have each contributed $10,000. It was known at headquarters that Mr. Harrity has had several conferences with Julius Harburger, president of the Steckler As- sociation, a view to securing the support of that organization for Cleveland. The Stecklers are said to control a good part of the votes of the Polish Hebrews on the East Side. Mr. Harrity wants this vote for Cleveland, and there will be further negotiations. Rioting at the Reformatory. General Attack Made Upon One of the Guards. Hun~riNeDoN, Oct. 12.—After the re- turn a few weeks since of the incorri- gible inmates of the Huntingdon re- formatory to their respective counties, it was thought that the spirit of insub- ordination among the prisoners had been thoroughly weeded out. Last night, however, it croped out again, As officer D. W. Boyer was marching a squad of sixty inmates to the school room James Caul, an inmate from Philadelphia, jumped from the ranks and hurled his slate violently at the guard’s head, but without hitting him. Alonzo Billings, also from Philadel- phia, acting on Caul's signal, also struck at the guard with his slate, but missed his aim. SIGNAL FOR REVOLT. That was the signal for a general re- volt among the pupils, and half of the 150 pupils in the school room engaged in a deadly attack on the defenseless officer. Caul, who had precipitated the assaulted, drew a brick from his coat and dealt Guard Boyer a violent blow over the eye, knocking him down. After receiving a fusilade of kicks and blows, Officer Boyer drew his cane, but this was speedily taken from him and turned on himself. In endeavoring to rescue his prostrate fel- low Officer, Guard James Kyle was also severely handled. A general a- larm was sounded and the riotous in- mates were finally subdued by force. Officer Boyer was remove to his home. New York's Big Day. 25,000 School Children Parade—Notable Sights.

EvERY ScHooL Boy HAS 4 CHANCE. -—The little expression: “everyone hopes to be President of these United States’” is a thing we often hear and whether it is really the fact or not it is nevertheless of interest to know just how many Pres- idents each State has furnished for the country. Virginia, as is well known. leads all the States in the number of her sons who have become Presidents of the United States. In fact, she has been called the “Mother of Presidents.” Massachusetts has been the birthplace of 2 Presidents, New Hampshire,l; Vermont,1; New York,2; Pennsylva- nia, 1; Virginia, 7; Ohio, 4; New Jer- sey, 1; North Carolina, 8; Kentucky, 1; and Indiana,1. The concert given last Thursday evening in the Presbyterian chapel, for theorgan fund was a success financially and musically—in fact it was a revela- tion to part of the audience, who were surprised that we have so much talent among us, and while there was some difference of opinion in regard to the ability of the singers—every one agreed that to Miss Victorine Lyon and Mrs. Burnett belonged the honors of the even- ing. Their voices should not be com pared however for Miss Lyon's is a clear high soprano showing in its flexibility its high cultivation, while Mrs. Burnett's is a full rich contralto.
