Pays He Was An Accomplice- A dispatch in the Philadelphia Inquirer from Pottsville. says that the Sheriff of Schuylkill County, has re ceived a query from Stouts Mountains, Alabama, asking whether "Kit Kanil'' alias John Dongan is wanted for the murder of Alexander Rae. The crime was commited at a point some where between Centralia and Mt. Car mel, in the fall of 186S. He was the paymaster, and he was killed for the money that he was supposed to have on his person. They were disappoint ed, however, as $19.00 was all they got. In 1S69, or one year after the crime, a man by the name of Donahue was tried for it, but was acquitted. The case was again revived several years later by the arrest of a trio composed of Hester, Tully and McIIugh. These men were tried, and convicted. The evidence against them was furnished by an accomplice named Kelley, who made a full confession. They were hanged in Bloomsburg. If the follow ing dispatch is true, and Dongan is tned, it will according to law, take place here. The dispatch concludes with the following: " It is understood that Dongan has confessed that he assisted to murder Alexander Rae, near Centralia, dur ing the reign of the Mollie Maguires in the anthracite region. The Schuyl kill county officials are considering the advisability of having requisition papers made out and having the self confessed murderer brought here for trial. This is the last echo of the famous Mollie Maguire outrages, which stirred the entire country dur ing the centennial year." Greatly Reduced Excursion Bates to Buffalo.
