On 7 there a strike at the Came

at Shamokin. Several days ago the
men were told of a reduction, which
took effect thia morning. Thia ta the

The greenback-republic** member* of
the legislature roted for the republican
caucus nominree, and. of course, wee*
poet thev will rote for Cameron too.
Just what we predicted in the Reporter

The trials for riolation of the i '"
tion laws, says tha Vituburg Post, in Hi*
Federal Court at Columbia, S. ... are
over. The juries, both grand and jeti ,
were above the average in intelligence,
and w ere made up of men of both races
and all political parties. To the t.ran
Jurv there were submitted
In three of these, for repeating, for in
terfering with a Republican meeting ana
for conspiring to interfere with. * v '*
publican meeting, the t.rand Jury
-no bill." Three other caaee. in which
the prisoners were charged with repea.
ing. assaulting a supervisor and hin er
ing a deputv marshal, were continue .
Two cases were brought to trial; in one
there was a verdict of acquittal on t..e
charge of repeating ; in the Other, *kere
the prisoners were accused et fiolating
the Flection laws, the jury disagreeo,
only one member being for consict.on.
Ia live other cases the proceedings we e
bv information. Two, for obstructing
Federal officials, were continued ; in a
third, where the prisoners whom one
jury had failed to convict or acquit were
again arraigned, the new jury brought
in a verdict of "not guilty; in the re
mainicg two, where officers of election
were charged with violations of law.
the juries disagreed, the majority :or ac
quittal in one instance being of nine ju
rors and in the other of eight. This is
not hearsay and gossip, such as Mr.
Blaine has the audacity to reat a case on
before the United States Senate, hat evi
dence extracted from the court registera
and not the less valuable because it
doesn't bear out the alleged case of the
alleged honorable Senator from Maine.
The Blymyers, icerchante of Lewie
town, and well known to our farmers,
have failed ; their liabilities are report
ed at over sso,ooo. The Lewistown
Democrat of 9 says: The business of
Geo. Biymyer & Sons, the largest and
one of the oldest houses in Lewistown,
WAS closed under sheriff's executions on
Friday last. The liabilities are very
heavy, bat it seems to be generally be
lieved that the creditors residing in this
county are all or nearly ail secured. The
failure is chiefly the result, we believe. 1
of the extraordinary shrinking of values
in real estate, as well as merchandise,
during the list five years. Much sym
pathy is expressed in the community to-1
ward the firm, and especially for it*
venerable head, who had been engaged
in the mercantile businesa in thia
place for a period of upwards of 40
years.
Mr. Yocum has served his answer to
the allegations made by GOT. Curtin in
his specification! contesting Mr. o7um s
right to a seat in congress.
Mr. Yocum, like the criminal at the
bar, pleads "not guilty," and denies the
trt th of all the allegations made by Got
Curtin. We did not expect te find Mr.
Yocura serving an answer that would
admit that any illegal rote had been
given him at all, or 'hat there were cor
rnpt practices to his election, and as he
makes a sweeping denial all through,
the weakness of his answer ia apparent.
Gov. Curtin did not go intothia contest
without first aatisfving himself that be
had good grounds for it, and that he
could produce undoubted evidence of
having received a majority of the legal
votes in the 20 district which entitles
him to the seat in congress.
Mr. Yccum's "and I furthermore de
ny the truth of the allegations" repew*-
ed nearly a hundred times, is not what
wiil settle the matter in hia favor. The
sworn testimony to sustain Gov. Cur
tin's allegations can not be met by a mere
denial on the part of Mr. Yocum as the
counsel who are "fixing" up bis case for
him well know, and who, if they ex
pressed their honest sentiments, would
tell their client at once that his case is a
hopeless one.
Mr. Yocum having now served his
answer, Gov. Curtin will be allowed an
other 40 days for taking further testimo
ny, All the evidence taken by both
aides will be submitted to a committee
of the next coDgress which maets in
December, next, nearly one year hence.
The pews in Plymouth Church were
on evening of 7, sold at auction. The at
tendance was good and the bidding
spirited, the pricee being much above
last year's. At the last sale the highest
price paid for a pew was $255; last night
the first bid was S4OO, and the choice
■old for |SOO to H. B. Claflin. Mr.
Beecher was present and in fine spir

The total amount of the premiums
was {27,978, which, with the rentals.
112,743, makes a total of {40,721, an in

last year.

The arrivals of emigrants at New York
in 1878 aggregated 81,505 against 06,282 (

Gov. Ilartranft thinks if there is econ

William Patterson is the great American
myth. He has been described by per
sons claiming to have known him as a
Senator of New Jersey, as a judge in
Pennsylvania, as a bank president in
Boeb n, as a fireman in I' iladelplna and
as a Bowery boy in New York. The in
cident which immortalized liim must
have occurred early in the century, for
be was made the hero of a song popular
in London in the reign of Georgo IV.,
at the same time with that other now
forgotten American ditty, "Poeanm tip

champion of Patterson on hearing that
he had been struck is described as fierce

claiming; "\V ho struck Billy Patterson?"
To him advances a bold rioter who re
plies: "I struck Billy Patterson !" Cpon

afawer, "And a d —d good blow you

commended that z tion be tak*n. and
favorable a tion at that, for, husud that
the report containe I a suggestion of the
only methods that < tild reform the
abuses and prodigality so general in
American cities. He thinks that the
act prepared Vy the Superintendent of
Public Instruction f <r the education and
support of vagrant and friendless chil
dren should be pned, atid pvued to >
without the endless div mwion which
us .ally in. i • when anything is suggest
ed that can be construed into "a com
pulsory education m heme.' 1 <n the
subject of industr .1 and technical train
ing, he said:
1 wish oniy to call your attention to
its relation to the larger labor question
A* the frontiers of civilization recede,
the difficulty of transferring t tie surplus
population of our labor centres is yearly
increasing, Our mining and manufac
turing districts aru consequently crowd
ed with capital am] labor, which the
present diversities of industries cannot
absorb. The natural spread of popula
tion tends, in a measure, to restore the
equilibrium, but the period of growth is
probably reached, when it ia necessary
to find employment for an increasing
population. Nothing, it seems to ine,
will so much extend the sphere of ac
tivity as a system of industrial educa
tion.
In reviewing the so-called conflict be
tween capital and labor, he said that he
believed m the idea of arbitration to ef
fect compromised, and thinks it certain
that if there had been for eight years
past —during which the suppression of
labor riots has cost the State annually an
average of jl(),!nK) aboard of arbitra
tion composed of representative of labor
and capital much trouble would have
been tirevented. lvvcntually a repres
sive method, lie thinks, would prove a
failure, for under our politicul institu
tions the beat way Pi promote com
munistic ideas is to hedge property with
lmvouets.
jn concluding, the Governor alluded
to the loss the State and nation had ex
perienced in the death of three distin
guished l'ennsylvauinnß, Henry Armitt
Brown, Jlayard Taylor, and Morton Mc-
Michael.

HANGING OF HUNTKR.
Hunter the murderer of Armstrong was

At seventeen minutes past alaven
o'clock by order of Mayor Ay res, of Cam

with ibo place of execution was cleared of
everyone, in order to allow tho sheriff and
bis prisoner free passage Hunter was car
ried out directly undor tha ropa which
was fastened to the gate. It was fastened, 1
and the shantf, after putting the white cap
aver the prisoner a head, piaced the rope
around his neck at 11.25 precisely. The ,
rope was drawn down, the knot being <
close under the left ear, and thna {Sheriff !
Calhoun picked up a small aio. Turning <
amund, he seid to the prisoner, "Have 1
you anything to say ?"
Not a word from 11 I{(iter.
The sheriff, in a much louder tono, then .
said :
"Jtenjatnin Hunter, have you any thin
to y'!"
Hunter'* head hung down, and bit lip*
never moved.
Atll'dstb ihoriff cut lb* auxiliary
rope and here occurred a tickenieg spec

gave to tnuch that it lifted the culprit
barely from the floor, when he fell back
and was caught by the aaaittant*. Sherifl
Calhoun quickly seized the rope leading
to the basement and hoitted liunter into
the air. He was hung only by a number
of persona holding to the rope. The pby
aiciaua taid at once that bis neck wat not
