THE CENTRE REPORTER, FRED KURTZ, . . . Editor Cextre Havn, Pa, May 3, 1883, AN A di tN NNN NINN NN tN NNN A few evenings ago Professor Harry Morton, of the Stevens Institute of Tech- nology, delivered a remarkable address in which he showed by experiments that by a simple contrivance and a slight expense, electricity could be used as a motive power, not merely to propel street cars, but to run the most complicated kind of machinery. Energy stored in a box a cubic foot large could take a car full of passengers from one end of New York city to the other. He claimed the contrivance might exceed in value the invention of the telephone, as the secret of applying electricity as a motive power has hithertolbeen soughtin vain. * tapas The Williamsport Daily Banner thinks the Republican party throughout the country are not a little concerned about the sombre outlook for success in 1884, When they turn insurmountable obsta. cles seem to rise up before them, which will not go down at the biddings of the bosses. The reputed leaders in Pennsyl- vania have for some time been trying to arrange their preliminaries for a politi- cal love feast at which the recalcitrant brothers who kicked the traces last fall are to be given a conspicuous place. Even Tom Cooper is ready to bridge the bloody chasm, but as yet Cameron has not given his assent, and until he does, overtures will amount to but litte. In New York the forebodings are even more gloomy. The Democracy are likely to present again an undivided front, in the eventof which the Empire State may be counted as among the reasonably sure Democrat~ ic States. The branch in Ohio, taking the recent election as a criterion, is not yet closed, and it is not unlikely that the Buckeye State may again sound the pre- lude of a Democratic thunder storm. In Indiana there is also but very little en~ couragement to the Republicans, while in distant Kansas the rambling of a po- litical disturbance is still heard. Taken all in ali, the grave apprebensions cfthe Republican leaders are not without cause. Bat it is too late, we fear, to avert the The party has been ready for buria! for ten years, as the existence it has been having since, has been one of gradual petrification, until it is no longer possible to keep the surface with safety to the public health, ¢ above SENATOR WALLACE CORRECTS AN ANCIENT LIBEL RECENTLY lEVAMPED, To the editor of the Philadelphia Even- g Telegraph: —In a leading editorial in your paper of Thursday, April 19, the of forging nataralization papers and tax receipts, and of their use for po- litical purposes, are charged upon me, as they repeatedly have been by other neaspajgers I have horne these libellous charges in 8 #8 long as duty to myself and to those who are to eome after me permits, I deny all complicity with, or responsi bility for, any such actions by any one. At no time in either my professional or politieai life have 1 ever sided, abetted, or krowiogly permitted the crimes thus charged cpoun me. If they were committed during my chairmanship of the democratic state committee of Penn- yivania, it was without my koowledge and in violation of my plainly defined policy as the head of my party. There are vet living plenty of witnesses who can affirmatively prove my innocence of these oft-repeated falsehoods. In being silent hitherto, I have acted on the belief that the people among whom I live were the best judges of the truth or falsity. Since their urigin in a heated poiitical eampaign, by a personal enemy, fifteen vesrs ago, I have been foor times chosen to the state senate, each time leading my party, and three times nominated and once elected to the Unis ted States senate. 1 refer to these as ev- idences of the opinion of the people among whom I have dwelled as to my personal record. Surely if I were a forger and a politi- cal leper, as some newspapers declare me, these things could not have hap- pened, f the public man, whom yon! say has been an “active, able and indostrious leg- is'ator,” remains longer silent under these vaseless charges, they will become crystalized into political history, false and unfounded though they be, Under our political system the public man bas mach to bear, of criticism and injustice from the political press; bat I trust the press will not deny to one of them who seek to do bis duty, as he sees it, to the people of his native state, the publication of this emphatic denial of a long endured calomoy. Very respectful ly yours, WiLniam A. WaLLaCE, crime Hence THE TERRIBLE CYCLONE. Some Heartrending Incidents of the Affair, The tornadoes that on Sunday, 22! uit., swept through the states of Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina left a track of devastation behind them. Details of the damage t6 lives and property show the meteor to have been the most de- structive that has ever visited the South in half a century. Over one hundred and fifty lives were lost in Mississippi and over one hundred in Georgia. Tn South Carolina not many fatalities are reports ed. The injured number at least four to one of the deaths. At Wesson and Beauregard, in Mississippi, the points that suffered most, the Talal rT of our people already shows itsell in el- forts to retrieve the terrible material losses inflicted. lias been prompts ly extended, New Orleans, April 24.~The Times Democrat's 8 gives the complete list of the deaths in Beauregard result from the eyelons.

But one little girl of three years wanted its mamma to “come and fix my arm,” a poor battered and bruised little arm. No one could fix it but mamma, and mamma was in the next room, all unconscious that her baby was burnt un- to death, There was a five-year-old boy whose face was bruised and battered and whose head was gashed by an ugly wound, He was unconscious, but even with his brain clouded and not knowing where he felt pain, he moaned and roll. ed in bed. He and the little girl were the only little ones the correspondent heard murmur or make complaint, A special from West Point states that two cyclones passed over Clay county on Sunday about noon. One passed over the western part of the sonny and the other at about 1 o'clock over the central and southern parts. Both were terrific, leveling houses, fences and trees and spreading death and destruction in their paths. Near Hohenlinden thirty persons were reported to have been killed, and near Pine Bluff seventeen fatally injured were reported, A number of persons were killed in different parts of the country, but how many is as yet not known. Aberdeen, Miss, April 24.~The cy- clone passed through Monroe county on Sanday, destroying lives and wounding many peasons seriously, and carrying away houses, fences, bridges and every- thing in its path, A suburb of Aberdeen, containing twenty-five or thirty colored families, were absolutely wiped out, three of the negroes being killed and two others have since died, while twen- ty-five are under treatment, many of them in a precarions condition. A» WHOLE TOWN SWEPT AWAY Judging from reports the town of Beauregard suffered more terribly, for negrly every house in the place bas been destroyed and the loss of life was greater than at Wesson. Not a house of any character remains standing, Large brick buildings were blown down, frame hous- es torn to atoms, trees swept away like straws, loaded freight cars lifted from tracks and carried several hundred yards and beams and timbers from houses scal- tered for miles around. In fact, the town could pot be recognized after the storm, for it is now one gloomy, ghostly mass of desolation and destruction, marking the spot where once a beautiful, flourishing little village stood. The Variety Works are levelled to the ground. The loss on houses and mill buildings is estimated #t pot Jess than $250,000, a Margaret Perry, of Boston, testified that the pu ses at Tewksbury were rough in their tréstment of the patients striking them and holding pillows ov the mouths of insane patients to prey their asking for necessaries.
