THE TRIAL, CONVICTION AND SENTENCE.

The trial of McConkey began on February
was one of the witnesses for the prosecution,
and he positively identified McCoukey as one
of the men present at the shooting. w. D..
Moore, McConkey's counsel, tried to break the
force ofthis testimony, but in vain. The case
was given to the jury on February IA, at
o'clock in the afternoon, and at 10 o'clock the
jury filed in and delivered verdict of murder
in the first degree. All attempts to secure q
new trial failed, and he was sentenced to un.
dergo the heaviest penalty of the law. Gov.
Pattisou fixed May 10 as the date of his execu-
ton.

Ohio Election.

The election in Ohio last week was
for State officers and the contest was
fought upon local issues. Principal
among these local issues was the liquor
question, in no less than three forms.
The Democrats have elected their
candidate for Governor by at least TO-
600 of plurality, and the balance of
their State ticket also They have also
carried the Legislature, thus giving
them entire political control of the
State.
There were three amendments to the
Constitution of the State voted upon.
Two of these had direct reference to
the liquor question. One provided for
the regulation and assessment of the
liquor traffic, in a manner similar to
that in Pennsylvania. This was voted
down, not receiving third OF the votes
cast. The other was a prohibitory
amendment, and was, OF course, direct
ly opposed to the other, as, if carried,
it carried down the whole liquor busi-
ness. On this last the contest was
principally made. There were about
100000 votes cast and the latest news
we have is that the prohibitory amend
ment has received at least 800, 900 of
these votes, but may still lack major
ity. a
How parties were affected by this
or how to account for the Democratic
success, has given rise to various
opinions. Taken altogether it appears
to be very much mixed question-if
not puZzle-the only certain fact be-
ing that the Democrats have carried
the State, on local questions, and
therefore, it cannot be regarded as
having any bearing on national politics,
or on the vote of Ohio next year.

A Reunion Picnic.

WHITEsTowN, Butler Co, Oct 8, 'S3
EDS. CITIZEN Having been pres.
ent at the Reunion Picnic of the VIM.
Scott family which came off On the
Atm inst, | will try to give you few
incidents which | observed But that
you may more fully understand the
magnitude of the affair it is proper to
say that VIM Scott, the head of this
great Scott connection, came and set
tied in the "8 tracts" now neighbor-
hood of Mouutville, about the year
1894, and was one of the pioneers Of
that early day. And now his descend
ants run to the sixth generation and
number about eleven hundred and
eighty; each generation being repre-
sented, except the old gentleman him
self who has been dead many years.
But two of his daughters are yet living
and were present, Mrs Annie Morri-
son of Wurtcmberg and Mrs Peggy
Young, of Perry twp, Lawrence Co,
Pa, both well stricken in years. The
rest of his family were John, William,
Nancy, Jennie, Betsy and Polly, who
all lived to raise large families. John
being among the oldest, bis family is
still in the front rank as the oldest, of
whom VIM Scott, of Lancaster twp,
is we suppose the Oldest survivor of the
third generation and is seventy seven
years Of age, and was present with
four Of his sisters, yet is not near the
oldest man identified in the connection.
Unc,e Matthew Stewart, as be is
famiiarly known, is in his eighty
eighth year and was also present to
take part in the picnic dinner, which
was prominent feature of the occas-
ion and success without a doubt.
The table was set in the church yard
and formed a hollow square, with a
walters table in the center, and all
groaned with the heavy load of good
things of this life, of which the Scott
family are noted for getting up and
also partaking Of, as we think every
one present got abundance to satis fy
the inner man and yet there remained
twelve baskets. Now | will try to tell
you something Of the aoings of the
great day The people began 20 gather
about ten o'clock and in a short time
the church yard was full Of people and
riga Of conveyance. The time until
dinner was spent in shaking of hands
and general good cheer as many friends
met who had not seen each utbeF for
twenty-five or thirty years, as some Of
them came from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
ard OF her places far Of to be present at
this great meeting. Visiting the grave
yard, which joins the church yard on
the north, where the old fathers re-
mains rest, was another prominent fea-
ture. His tombstone being draped
with the American flag and his grave
covered With wreathes and flowers.
At twelve O'Clock dinner was announc-
ced. After dinner the assembl4ge re-
paired to the church, which is the third
one for this congregation and has been
built near forty years and is yet in
pretty good repairs, and were brought
to order by calling Francis N. Scott to
the chair and electing Alexander
Stewart, Secretary. after which the
l46th Psalm, 6 liues, was sung 10y the

The Work OF Women.

The work of women in the Ohio
election last week was conspicuous an
great. This time, it may be said, it
was women on the one side and wine
upon the other. The grape growers
and the wine-makers, together with all
the other liquor influences and interests
of the State, were arrayed against the
proposed Prohibitory Amendment to the
Constitution of Ohio. The women
took up the battle for the law, were
organized, and went from polls to polls
on the day of election, beseeching all
good men, and oil others they could, to
vote for the amendment. The result
Of their labors is the immence vote Of
over three hundred thousand for tho
law and its possible adoption. But, if
not carried, one more such effort will
carry it. Such an effort would have
carried it in Pennsylvania this year if
the Legislature had complied with the
petitions and prayers of the people and
given them the privilege of having q
vote on the question. 1t is bound to
come. and is but question of time.
