VOLUME { Xiw SERIES, XVI THE CENTRE REPORTER. FRED. KURTZ, Eprror and Pror's. pss ap AN AANA i — DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET, FOR AUDITOR GENERAL, CAPT, POZERT TAGUART, 0; Warren County FOR STATE TREASURER, HON. JOSEPH POWELL, ¢ Bradford County. Proctor Knott has been elected gov- ernor of Kentucky by about 50,000 ma- jority. Old Kentuck never falters. A dispatch from St. Petersburg, says the riots at Ekaterinoslav, caused by an- imosity against the Jews, were continued on the 3d inst. A mob attacked the Jewish quarter and destroyed many houses and liquor stores belonging to the Jewa. Itis now reported that one hundred persons were killed or wound- ed during the rioting in the town. ne A ps The Republican state senate means to may that unless the Democratic house knocks under to giving the Republicans two-thirds in the apportionments the Legislature shall sit all summer at §,3000 per day. When one looks at the figures and finds that the Democcats have with- in a fraction one half the voters and should have a corresponding show in the apportionment, it exhibits an unfair- ness and recklessness on the part of the Republicans that borders on revolution. a————— — The following from the Williamsport Sun and Banner expresses our views: This thing.of getting up papers for spite, generally works harm to the party. The above paper says: From this remote point we cannot see the necessity of another Democratic pa- per ia Harrisburg. The Pafriot, after years of struggle, has secured a strong foothold, and is a political power in the State, as well as profitable to its enter prising proprietors, and should reap the benefits so hardly earned. Another pa per may serve the interests of a few, it will not help the party, as in nine cases out of ten, such ventures create discord and prove a source of weakness rather than streogth. With Philadelphia open for a daily of that character, let the pro- jectors enter and take possession. Two or three dailies can find work and pat- ronage in the city of Penn, where reform work is so much needed. tmnt et A The strike of the telegraphers is prac- tically at an end and sad to relate(it has resulted in the defeat of the strikers. It may yet be sometime before the main body of operators return to work but there can no longer be much doubt that accomplished their object. It seems a trifle strange at first thought that although the general sympathy of The fathers Williamsport attempt, still the strike was unsuccessful. The reasons, however, soon became ap- parent. Many of the operators went out in a half hearted sort of way and those belonging to the weak class soon desert ed the brotherhood and returned to work. The liberal use of money by the Western Union Company has influenced others to desert until now that great mo- nopoly is sufficiently supplied with oper- ators to transact a moderate amount of business without the strikers, having had from the beginning the assistance of railroad operators, “3 > The next congress will contain a Re- publican majority of two in the senate and a Democratic majority of 50 in the house. In the next house of representa- tives there will be 191 Democrats and 119 Republicans, six Mahoneites, five Inde pendents and two Greenbackers. Inthe last congress the Republicans had 12ma- jority over the Democrats, and a majori- ty in the delegations of 20 states, In the next one, the Democrats will have 8 ma- jority in 22 states and 72 majority over the Republicans. The states of Alabama, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Georgia and Missouri are solidly Democratic, and those of Colorado, Kansas, Maine, Min- nessota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ore- democrats, but the bosses persist in say- ing No ; the wile hog or none, is their motto ; and thus the people must go on at the rate of $3000 per day. ie —————— The county ticket nominated on Tues- day will receive the united support of Democrats, Dr.®Smith, nominee for Associste Judge is a life long democrat, and a gentleman of intelligence and sound judgment, W.

A reliable wit ness says he has seen him alive since his reported death. One statement that Cet» ewavo is alive comes from Cetewavo's brother, who says that Cetewayo took refue in sn isolated kraal after the late battle, having received two wounds in the leg. - " Jas, O.

Utiea, Aogust 10.— William Henry Os- trander was haoged here at 10:36 o'clock this morning for the murder of his brother, George Lyman Ostrander, De- cember 20, 1880, pear West Camden. Ostrander kept awake all night and was singing and shouting all morning till the uificers and people began to arrive, At about haif-past eight o'clock, on looking out of his cell window into the jail-yard where he could see the people, he be- “I'ma goiog to be hung at tea o'clock I'll walk out, by —— , and tell them to out the ——— rope. I'll go plamp to hell in & wheelbarrow, too, and the man who cuts the rope will be in hell to meet me,” The Rev. Father Ryan, a young Catho- lic priest, labored long and bard with him this morning and Ostrander said he wanted to receive the sacrameat and was ready for baptism, but when the priest told him he must prepare to cone fess his sins, repent and receive absola- tion, be said : “1 guess I'll worry along as [ am.” The priest nevertheless remained with him till the last, excepting during the time when the Rev, Dr. Bigelow, a Meth- odist mircister, who was appointed his spiritual adviser, was with him. Horrible Death Struggle. The drop fell at thirty six minutes past ten. ‘The fall failed to dislocate Os- trader's neck and his struggles were horrible, He was pronounced dead in fourteen and out down in seventeen minttes, He died with oaths on his lips, cursing his wother and sisters, whose testimony brooght him to the scaffold, and protesting his innocence. He also cursed the court officers and even the friend who had shown him favors while he was in ail. Otherwise his harangoe on the scaffold was wild and incoherent, Although labored with all the morning by the priest he blungily refased to im- plore God's forgivoess, but persisted in his protestations of innocence. sims MG AI AGI, MADISONRURG ITEMS, The Madisonbuly Sgnday School will hold a pie-nic in Reuben Grim's grove, Aug. 25.
