THE CENTRE REPORTER. FRED KURTZ, ... Editor. Pa, Ocr, 14 1885, ANOTHER MURDERER CONFESSES, Chicago, Oct. 6.—The strange and wild story of John M. Wilson, who staggered into Twelfth Street Station on Saturday night last, proclaiming bimself a mur- derer, is true. 1a his druaken talk Wilson told of the horrible manner in which he killed An- thony Dalay, a farmer, of Ivy Hill, Pa., in February, 1885; how after he bad worked for AI he asked for money, and on being refused visited a neighboring village and got crazy drunk. Hetarniog he stealthily entered the sleeping room of Dalay, and picking up a meat cleaver, brained the sleeping victim. The details following are almost too horrible to re late. The murderer deliberately hacked the body to pieces, sewed tLe several members in a bag, and dumped them in- to the Wissahickon River. When sufli- ciently sobered to realize the terrible deed he had committed he fled the conn- try, arriving at Chicago after almost two vears’ wanderings. Wilson was seen in his cell at the police station last night. He is a small man about 27 years of age, a native of Nova Scotia, where Lis pa- rents and relatives reside, Bdince his ar- rival in this city be has worked for a a milkman on Wentworth avenue. He says that he has been nearly frantic since he committed the deed, and hus vainly tried to drown his remorse with liquor, About two weeks since he has met a child resembling that of the man he had murdered. Since then he bas known no peace of mind, and on Saturday night got drunk and hired a boy to take him 1o the police station, where he made his conlession, When told that his story had been verified by the Philadelphia detectives, Wilson expressed no surprise, if any- thing appearing pleased at the informa- tion. As to his punishment he appears somewhat careless as to what disposition is made of him. He would rather not be hanged, he Saye, but seems to think that will be his ate, ——— A TAO ts Cextre Hany, AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY, The most important discovery is that which brings the most good to the great. est number.

The revolt occnrred at 5 o'clock, just as the prisoners had fin- neighboring woods, fire on the fleeing convicts with bheadly effect. The latest report says that twen- ty-five of the convicts were killed or wounded. The prisoners ran in a body and the guards simply emptied their re peating rifles and small arms into the moving mass. Rumors of an intended mutiny in the camp bad been rife for some weeks. These romors were strengthened by the fact that many of the convicts were serving life sentences ters, Extra precaotions were being taken to avoid an uprising. Every means pos- sible is being used to recapture the 35 convicts who succeeded in eluding the ri- fles of the guards. The scene of the out- break is some miles from a telegraph of- ce, pe en sous AN END TO BONE SCRAPING.

Some of them are legiti- mate competitors; but some ap 80 similar in shape, in title, in design or general make-up, as to mislead a casual buyer who may be intending to get a top of the original “Students’ Songs,” which was edited Wm.

The clerk began to turn on juice and watch his customer, who con- tinued to wink. “T can cure that,” said the clerk “We have an embrocation that will instantly relieve the St. Vitus dance.” “ Who has the St. Vitus dance?” tes tily asked the man, “Why, your eyelids are affected,” waa the response. “ You don't catch on to my meaning, I fear.

The weight of a full-grown whale may be appreciated when the reador reflects that the famous elephant “Jumbo ” would have to be multiplied many times before his weight would equal that of a large whale, Yet the late Captain Scott, Royal Navy, told me that when on the quarter-deck of his own ship he repeal edly snw the whales leaping in mere play so high out of the water that the horizon wns clearly visi- ble to them, Now, Captain Scott lived to be nearly one hundred years old, and when he was in nective service the quarter-deck of a man-of-war was ab least thirty feet above the water ; add to this measurement his own height (he being rather a tall man) and the reader can then appreciate the terrific power of the whale's tail.
