Wm. Holt and Moses Thompson were I
th representative delegates from tti s
county to the National convention n
Philadelphia last week.
Our state lsfiriature has made up its ;
mind to adjourn May 24.

Tht Supreme court the other day ren
dered a sensible decision on the ques
tion afth Interpretation of the Kigh'
Hour law now on the statute book*, de
ciding that only eight hour*' pay can to
exacted under it for eight hours' work.
The case wa* that of the employees at
the Granite Work* in Richmond. \a.
This deci*ion will prevent the paaeace
by Congress of the contemplated jmrt
resolution declaring that the preset t
law should be construed to meau tkrt
ten hour*' pay should be given for 1
hours' work. Representatives of the
laboring men in the navy yards hats
been for some months advocating
the passage of inch a resolution. Ihe
only relief that can be obtained by these
workmen now is to secure the passage
of an entirely new law, which is handy
possible at the present session.
On Sunday 80,000 person* visited the
Paris exposition. At oar Centennial the
show was not open on Sunday, but ia
France there is uot the same veneration
for the Lord's day. With the gay
Parisians Sunday is day of pleasure, an 1
we have no doubt that throughout the
French expoeition the Sabbath * ill
prove one of the best paying days.
The convention of the Nationals in
Philadelphia, laat week, was a storm
one. aud there came pretty near being
a row. Bill Armstrong it i said wit!
take the stump against theticket. There
is still further trouble in the National
camp.
Chairman Hughes received adispatcn
from Mr. Shearer, declining the nomi
nation of the national party for lieuten
ant governor. The tilling of the vacai -
ey will now devolve upon the state A)m
mittee. It is believed that Hon. B. S.
Bently will also decline.
The Edenburg bank, in the oil coun
try, has closed its doors. Liabilitieaonly
1104,000, with aseetts next to nothing
Deposits from 50 to 60 thousand dollar*.
Of course there i* considerable excite
ment there over this little affair, and of
' course the president has left town per
haps for Florida for his health.
The Union National bank of Lewie
bnrg has suspended. It is thought the
depositors will be paid in full. That's
the usual song right after a bank sus
pends. We would be right glad to find
the depositors come out so well a* that.
Relative to the investigation of the
Florida frauds, the following wa* tele
graphed from Washington on 9: The
Democratic Congressional Executive
Committee unanimously agree in com
mon with other members of ths party
that there should be an investigation of
the alleged Florida and Louisiana
frauds, for the sole purpose of acquaint
ing the people with the fraud* and not
with a view of the invalidation of the
title by which Hayes holds office.
The Committee on Judiciary will, as
soon a* the resolution directing them to
make inquiry shall pa** the House, pro
ceed at once to buaineee. It i* not
thought that much time will be occupi
ed in the investigation as the Commitee
already have testimony taken during
the late Congress on the same sub
ject.
There is about as much unneceaaa'y
newspaper foss over Don Cameron's
wedding, last week, to a niece of Gen.
Sherman, as there was a week before
over the death of John Morriaey. Now
a great many better men than John
Morrisey die every day, and a great
many worthier men than Don Cameron
get married every week, and you never
hear of such death or marriage outside
of the immediate locality in which the
event occurs.
What is there about Don Cameron
that his wedding mast take up pages in
the d'iily press? He is the son of the
greatest public plunderer and most cor
rupt politician that the United States
ever produced. Simon Cameron starteu
his dishonest career as one of the Penn
sylvania canal ring; cheated the Win
nebago indians, was kicked out of the
democratic party for bis corrupt practi
ces, bought bis way into the republican
party and twice into the United States
Senate; swindled the United States out
of millions during the war to help his
railroad, and for which a republican
congress passed a strong resolution of
censure upon the Winnebago, and
which led to his being kicked out of
Lincoln's cabinet —and a hundred other
great sins could we score up against Si
mon Cameron.
Don Cameron, son of Simon, is a cold
banker and iron hearted railroad mana
ger, who has given bis life to nothing
but exacting from the producers and
consumers of the country, from whom
Le has shaved his millions. He is not
noted for any good qualitieejof heart or
soul and is now trying to control the re
publican party by the same means that
his sire held it in bondage. Don was
Secretary of war at the close of Grant's
administration, and it was be who sent
soldiers to Louisiana to steal that state
for Hayes, and prevent an honeet count
and thus Bet aside the will ofthe nation
and brought about the seating of a
fraudulent president—now admitted by
republicans as well as democrats. II
justice had been given Don Cat r on f° r
his great crime and usurpation* l ,e
would not be living to-day to chaCt*
the name of Miss Sherman to Mrs.
Cameron.
The Cameron family has been a stain
upon parties and upon the country—
they have done more to introduce cor
ruption in the government than any ten
public men living.

THE ECS ERA I STEA I ■
A member of our state legislature died |
a short time ago. and now we see that i
that body is al*nit to appropriate some .
S2OOO to pay funeral expenses I M bat
has the state to do with ihc funeral cx-p
pensea of a legislator? Where is therej }
warrant in the constitution for paying ~
such expenses out ofthe public fund- . j,
and if it were iu the constitution j
would he wrong and should be blotted
l out at once.
A private citisen, following his own
honest avocation, make* from 50 eiitb
to $2 per dsv -some make nothing these
times—lf one diss, does the funeral ex*
t penae come out of the public funds uti
i lees the dead is a pauper ? A legislate'
I gets $lO per dav, he dies, perhaps from
I too good living or debauchery, and the
public to pay hi* funeral expense*, am;
at right princely figure* at that. 1* that
right ? What better right ha- a legisla
tor or a congressman with a big salary
to oe buried at public expense than has
' the humblest reader of the Kepor*
ter? , ,
It is a piece of robbery that the tax
payer must not allow to le covered up
willi the corpse. At tins rate a dead
legislator coals us far more than a lit ing
,me. and the living one cost* the people
ust SIOOO beyond what hi* services ate
worth. So we go.

Six men were publicly whipped in the
jail yard at Newcastle, Del, on Saturday. l
That is the way criminals are served in j
Delaware, and we think it has a greater
' terror for evil-doers than imprisonment.
A man will ten times sooner go to jail
than to the whipping post, and is more
likely to walk strait on account of the
latter. , ,

Depositors will be fully paid, as the as

of the bank, and a statement will he

A friend tells us that a short time ago
in the store at Potters Mills, the conver
sation turned upon the circulation ofthe
county papers. One gentleman, a re
publican, contended that the Bellefonte
Republican bad the largest circulation.
Another, and no doubt a democrat,
claimed for the Watchman a larger cir
culation than the Republican, while still
another claimed that the Reporter hail
the greatest number of readers. One of
the gentlemen aP.erwards referred the
matter to us, and as it seems to interest
the people, we give our estimate fairly
and candidly as far as we have means
to ascertain, and to that extent can be
taken as reliable. A* to the circnlajiou
ofthe Reporter, we never were guilty of
misrepresenting our circulation, a sin
that many netvpaper men, we are sorry
to say, are guilty of—it is a fraud upon
men who pay for advertisements upon
a circulation which is fictitious.
The rirculstion ofthe Reporter is now
close on to 1200. In Pennsvalley we
have as many subscribers as any two
papers in the county; and on the other
side ofthe county we admit that the
circulation of this paper is not as large as
that of any one of the Bellefonte papers
although we send a goodly number of
papers to the other aide. Taken on the
whole, we candidly believe that the Re
porter has as large a bona JuU list as any
ofthe Bellefonte papers, or comes very
close up to them. We hold postmasters
receipts for 68 cents, or 34 pounds, mail
ed, per week.
The amount paid per week, at Belle
fonte, for the Watchman and the Re
publican is $1.75, representingß7 pounds
or 43 pounds if divided equally bftween
the two.
The Journal at Millheim pays postage
on 7 to 8 pounds, or 14 to 10 cents j>er
week, which would indicate a circula
tion of about 325.
The Pbilipsburg Journal has a circu
lation of 350 to 400.
DEATH or o sr. or THE OLDEST SLAVES
IN PA.— Mrs. Hannah Kelly (colored) in
ber 88th year, died in Wiiliamsport on
the 4th inst. She was one of the last
persons held in slavery by the laws of
the state of Pennsylvania. She was
2 ;ven ber freedom at the age of nine
t£en by Governor Findlav, and went
from Ji/ercersburg to I>ancaßter, as the
servant in 'be governor's family, when
the governor was state treasurer, and
the elate government waa located at that
place. This was in the year lw7. A
short time before Governor Findlay
died, he directed his daughter, who was
afterwards the wife of Governor bhuuk,
to always give good attention to his
faithful servant Hannah, and scarcely a
year passed, during the life of 51 r*.
•Shtink, that Mrs. Kelly did not receivo
dome substantial token of her friendship
and when Mrs. fihunk died, a few
months ago, ber will directed that SIOO j
should be paid to Hannah, and S2OO to

7HE OBJECTS OF THE HOW GATE
POL A H EXPEDITION.
Favorable reports relative to CapLaiu {
How gate* plan for exploring the Arctic:
regions hive been made in both Houses,
of Congress, and a hill providing for a
suitable appropriation will shortly be
considered. Captain Ilowimtc hns point
ed out the cardinal objects of his plan
with much clearness, and in away
which must go far to satisfy those who
can see no national benefit to accrue
from I'olsr expeditions, the ostensible
end of which is the empty glory ot
showing the flag at the jade, annexing
new territories of ice fields, and bring
ing polar bear* and Esquimaux under
the blessings of a Republican govern
ment. The fact is, however, that the
benefits to lie gained by Captain How
gam's scheme are really a great import
ance ; and perhaps most especially so in
the additions to our knowledge of the
laws ol meteorology which will be secur
ed. In reducing meteorology to ail ex
act science, an experienced German
student and explorer has shown the ne
cessity of a comprehension of the con
ditions existing in the Polar rones. The
general movements of the atmosphere
arise from the exchange of cold and
warm, of dry and humid air, between
the poles and the equator. How enor
mous must ha the influence of the huge
masses of polar ica upon the distribu
tion of the earth's heat is obvious.
Greenland aud Iceland afford proofs
bow the movement* of ice, driven by
winds and oceanic currents, may affect
the climate of a country, hut our knowl
edge of these movements i* vpry defer
tive. Now it ia possible that the ice of
the Polar rones may he the regular
cause of our own climatic conditions the
origin of many of the furious storms
which sweep destructively along our
coasts and over our own land. It ispro
bably not saying too much, adds the
xanie authority, when we assert that the
Polar regions aro the inrmt important
portions of our globe for the study of
the natural sciences.
The extreme conditions under whicn
the forces of nature act in the vicinity
of the poles produce phenomena which
offer us the bent means of investigating
the nature of the forces themselves. As
in meteorology, so, also, in tcrrestiul
magnetism and electricity, these have
to do with forces of the most tremend
ous magnitude, often exhibited in des
tructive energy, but never yet subdued
tfj the service of man. So, too, if it is
desiraff to investigate the ocean currents
and the laws of the tidesupon which dc
pend the safety ami success of ocean
commerces are found centering in the
North which mast be traced to their i
sour.ie. Probably there is not one ol ,
the laws which govern the elements in
their movements, a better knowledge of
which will not result in material benefit
'to the race in cheapening the means of 1
supporting life, ia iocruwuog the sources <
of human happiness, or it) Averting the

agreed that the inquiry should baa judi

EMPEROR WILLIAM SHOT AT.
Berlin, May 11—11 p. m.— Two shots
were fired into the Emperor William's
carriage from the sidewalk without effect.
The assnssin ran into the Middle avenue,
followed by a crowd. On an attempt be
ing made to capture him he fired three
more shot* and throw his revolver away.
He wh then secured.
The emperor's carriage was stopped nr.d
tho footman sprang from the box and as
sisted at the capture. A few minutes of
terwards another individual was seized In
the Middle avenue, in consequence of an
alleged attempt to rescue the assassin
The assassin is a tinsmith named Kmil
Heinrich Max Hood el, said to bo from
Lelpsic. He was taken to the nearest po* '
lie* station, where a preliminary investi- 1
gallon was instituted. The accomplice ar
rested is named Krueger, a laborer, be
longing to Berlin. I
There wero unceasing demonstrations
before the palace throughout the evening. I
Dense masses are streaming in from the <
remotest suburbs to manifest their loyal 1
ty and sympathy, singing the national
anthem.
Tlie emperor went to the opera and Roy- '
nl theatre to-night and received great ova- '
tioni.
Iterlin, May 12.—At the official examin- 1
ation ll'iedel, the prisoner, stated he was
a native of Loipsic and born in 1857. He '
denied that he fired at the emperor. He f
affirmed that he was without food and in
tended to shoot himself publicly to show F
the rich the present condition of the peo- '
pie. He stated that be shot once at him-j
self and co#!4 not account for the other I
three shots which were wanting in the j
cUnjbera of bis revolver. t

A TALK OF HORROR.
{The Atlanta (Ga I Con<ti:ution ]
Mr. John Porn, who lives in the lowei
pt't of Lumpkin county, had two little
children, aged respectively three ard six.
The.? wero engaged in their customary
pity a few day* ago. while the mother was
at the well. Tbo oiddf; child, for what!
reason it will never be known, picked up
a sharp hatchet ar.d struck the baby in the
side, leaving the t sticking In tho wound.
The child, seeing what ho had Jon*, ran
and told his mother, who was drawing up
water at tho time. This so frightened her
that she let go the windlass, and the re
volving crank struck the boy on the head
and literally knocked his brains out, kill
ing him instantly. When tho horror
stricken mother got to her baby it wax al
so dead.
HALFPENNY Jb COS FACTORY
BURNED.
Tho Lcwisburg Journal, 8, say : Last
night will long be remembered by our cit
izens. About 11 o'clock a storm came up,
which was accompanied hy much thunder
and lightning. 80011 after the alarm of
fire was given. It wus found M Halfpen
ny & Co's largo woolen mill, located at
the river bridge, was on fire. Tba flames
were first teen in the main building, on
Iho third storv, near the elevator. Rain
wax coming down in torrents, but tbo en
gine and hoxe wore there in quick icason.
Btrearna were thrown, but each time tho
••ngine started the hoso would burst. Val
uable time was thus wasted and (he flames
soon enveloped tho whole budding.
A two-story fraino building owned by
Halfpenny 4 Co., and partly used as a
storehouse by them, and tho remainder
occupied a* a residence by Mr. John |
Brooks, toon caught fire. It could huvo {
been easily saved if tho hose bad been in ,
good order. '
In the midst of the excitement, when ap
pearr.nc-'s indicated that all that portion
of tho borough would be destroyed, an
other thunder shower corns up, and never
was a shower more welcome. At this mo
ment the four houses of Mr. James Wall
were on fire, and others eould not long ]
have withstood the heat. Tho rain, how
ever, smothered tho fire in a'l Cases except
the two building* of Halfponny 4 Co.
The woolen factory was insured as fol- <
low* : On building and machinery, S2O,- 1
600, on stock sii,ooo.
Tho frame building was insured : On
storehouse mid dwelling SH(X), stock fully
insured. '
It lias not yet been decided whetlu-r the >
factory will be rebuilt or not. f
The firo is supposed to have been cuused j
either by ►poutuneou* combustion or by
the lightning.
