CentraIia Happenings.

The two following dispatches were sent
from Ashland to the Philadelphia Times,
and appeared in that paper on Saturday
last The dispatches are each dated May
25th: ......-
Two months ago Pole, named Jacob
Meriwisky, came to Centralia and opened
a saloon. He was patronized by his count
rymen and the toughest of the other nation
alities. Being unable to read or write
English he requested the nglish-speaking
habitues to charge themselves with the
amounts they were indebted. They did so
and all the prominent business men were
startled by the presentation of bills for Ii
quor at Polish Jake's. They indignant
ly refused to pay, saying they had never
entered the saloon and that other parties
had used their names. An investigation OF
Polish Jake's books showed this to be true.
Henry Ward Beecher, according to the
book, owes S42 f; John b. Cough, $35
Roscoe Conkling, $50; Freddy Gebhard,
S17 Mrs. Langtry, $50; and Mace and
Slade, $40 The loss to the saloon-keep-
er is 800.
Centralia and the adjoining towns are ex
cited over desperate atfray that occurred
there last night. Two chicken-fanciers,
named Mike Cleary and Edward Dillon had
arranged for a cooking main, to be fought
at nine o'clock, A large crowd had gath
cred. At half-past nine they opened the
main. By this time the crowd had grown
noisy and turbulent. AS soon as Cleary's
bird was put into the pit Dillon's bird
struck it terrific blow, killing it instantly.
Enraged, Cleary sprang out and said he
could whip any man in the house. No one
answering him, he sprang towards Dillon
and struck him terrific blow in the face.
This was the signal for general row, and
some one in the crowd extinguished
the lights. In the fight that followed
knives and pistols were freely used. AT
friends got the scuffling crowd out Clea-
ry went to his home and was followed by
Dillon, who asked him why he had struck
him. Cleary made no answer, but struck
him again. Both men then grappled and
were struggling in each others embrace
when Cleary's wife and two men entered
and went to his assistance. The four then
beat Dillon numerically and would proba-
bly, have killed him but for the opportune
arrival of two of his friends, who after
desperate struggle succeeded in saving
him. While carrying him home Cleary's
wife crept up behind them and struck the
insensible man terrible blow on the back
of the head with large stone, weighing
about twelve pounds. The back of his
head was split open and there is very little
hopes of his recovery.
No effort has yet been made to arrest the
assailants. All the men are miners, liv-
ing at Centralia, and have heretofore borne
good regulations.

IN AND DEMOCRAT, BT TOOMsBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
The Defeat Of the Labor Bills.


The republican Norristown Herald,
intent on making little capital for its
party, charges that the democratic
house of representatives has neglected
the interests of labor and defeated the
measures before that body designed to
protect and benefit the working classes.
The editor Of that sheet must be cross
eyed fellow whose strabismus causes
him to mistake one political party for
another.
The fact is just the opposite OF what
is charged by that unscrupulous repub
lcan sheet. The democratic house of
representatives passed the Hines employ
ers' liability bill and the bill requiring
the payment of employers fortnightly
instead of monthly. These bills have
both been killed by the republican sen.
ate. The workingmen Of the state
were peculiarly interested in the pas
sage of these measures and they can
thank the republican party for their de-
feat
Legislation for the amelioration of
the condition Of the working classes is
toe serious a matter to be made the
play thing of demagogues. The pecu-
liar representatives. of the labor elemen.
in the house of representatives gave
their earnest and unremitting attention
to the preparation and perfection of
measures calculated to meet the wants
of that element Such measures were
presented and passed in the house as
before stated But the republican SEN
ate, controlled by politicians whose own
election as well as the success of their
party has been brought about by the
lavish expenditure of campaign funds
collected in part at least from the en-
ployers of labor, dared not pass the
bills sent to that body by the house.
The stalwait bosses will again require
the cash of the moneyed aristocrats
who have more than once come to their
rescue and they could not afford to of
feud them by passing bills in the inter
est of labor. Hence the defeat of the
Hines liability bill and the fortnightly
pay bill bv the republican senate. In
view of this record the republican poll
ticians will find it rather difficult to play
the demagogue on the labor question:

The Congressional Bill.

The Senate passed the McCracken
Congressional apportionment bill on
Tuesday, and defeated Stewards. The
former makes 10 Republican districts
and 0 Democratic, the latter would
give the Republicans II and the Demo
Gratis IL, The House already passed a
bill making Is Republican and l3
Democratic districts. There will now
be committee of conference appointed,
and the possibilities are that no appor,
tionment will be made. In the discus
sion on the McCracken bill Senator
Wolyerton showed the eunfairness of the
Republican party. lie thought that if
the Garfield vote is the fair basis then it
is mere matter of arithmetical calcu
lation. "The bill as reported by the
committee is unfair and unjust, and
cannot be defended except it be that
they regard party duty higher than the
constitution and requirements. Neither
can the senator from Dauphin defend
his work on the ground ofindustrial re-
quirements The industries of Penn
sylyania are fostered and cared for by
the democratic party, but we are not
propose to discuss protection. In 1880
the total vote was 874,739, giving a
congressional ratio of 3l,24l. The
Garfield vote was 444, ,704 aud the Han
cock vote 407,428. BY mere system
of calculation, on fair basis, this ratio
gives fourteen republicans and an ex-
cess vote of 1880, and thirteen demo
Gratis with an excess vote of l,205," The
senator showed where in twelve districts
under the McCracken apportionment
the vote was l43,831 short, nearly
enough for a congressional district. He
showed how in Philadelphia il took 49,
600 votes to elect one democrat to con
gress and only 10000 votes to elect a
republican, and where it took 23,OOO
votes in the state to elect republican
to $4,000 to elect democrat Party
necessity alone can bring about a justi-
fication," was the conclusion ofthe sena-
tor.

DEATH OF JUDGE SHARSWOOD.

Ex-Chiei Justice George Sharswood
died al his residence in Philadelphia
Oh Monday morning last, aged 73
years He graduated with distinguish
ed honors at the University Of Penn
sylvania, at eighteen, and was admit
ted to the Bar in 1881. AT twenty
six he was elected a member of the
Legislature, and was appointed a
Judge for Philadelphia at thirty-6ve
In 1850 he was chosen Professor of
Law in the University, and in 1851
elected Judge under the new constitu-
tion, which position he held until 1868
when he was elected by the Democrat
ic party to the Supreme Bench. He
became Chief Justice in 1878 and con-
tinued as such until last December
when his term expired. His ability at
grasping a subtle legal point, and his
logical reasoning made him one of the
ablest jurists of the State, He was
the author of several law books which
are recognized all over the country as
works of great value to the profession.

Murder in Lycoming County.

Last Friday evening about six o'clock
says the Williamsport Gazette e But
letin, the dead body of Charles Hank,
er was found hanging by the neck dead
in barn in Nippenose township, near
Jersey Shore Station. Michael Curtis,
Esq empaneled jury and proceeded
to examine the body of deceased 1t
was found that the neck was broken
and that there were other suspicious
marks and bruises on the body,
which led the jury to believe that the
crime of murder had been committed
and that Samuel Cook was the guilty
party. A verdict to that effect was
rendered, when Cook was at once ar
rested and held on the charge.
Hanker was a Swiss by birth and had
been in this country for some time, and
was in the employ of Cook, who works
a small farm on the road leading to
Jersey Shore. Cook claims that he
missed Hanker all day, and then found
him hanging by the neck in the stable
But this story is not generally believed
Cook has for long time been the ter
ror of that part of the country, and
was regarded as an outlaw, He had
been on spree for week before thi,
affair, andit is suspicioned that he mur-
dered Hanker and then hung him up,as
Smith did Miller, for the purpose OF
hiding his crime. The people of that
township believe that he is capable OF
committing the crime that he is charg
ed with, and are not surprised at the
turn affairs have taken A close inves-
tigation of the affair will at once
be made, and every circumstance
bearing on the crime will be noted, SO
that if murder las been committed in
that county again, the perpetrator of it
may be punished.
