SIIARPE, FOR COMPLICITY JN THE SAME MURDER, ALSO LAN GUISHING BEHIND THE BARS IN MAUCH CHUNK JAIL. Particulars of the Murder ! MXt-cn Chl-xk, Dec. 20, 1877. Hardly has tho lata Molly excitement bo much as subsided, than now arrests promise 'to bring Mollio Maguirism again to the fore. 'Jos. McDonnell, accused of complicity in tho murder of Geo. K. Sinith.klllcd at Yorktown, On tho 5th of November 1803, was brought on hero from Rockland county, 111., by officer Gilchrist of Pinkcrton's Detective force', on last Sunday night, and Charles Sharm, accused of participation in tiio same murder1, and arrested at Wanumic, Luzerne county, was brought here by olliccrs Peeler and Kcrchncr, on Tuesday morning. On arrival, both parties were committed to, jajh whero they nownro in communion tilth Hie ghosts of tho lato deiiarted, nnd where they mav freely converse witli tho great Thus. P. Fisher on tho extrcmo uncertainty of human ftlUirs. Geo. K. Smith, tho victim, asalready stated, was mot brutally killed in his own dwelliug, at or near Yorktown, on tho night of tho 3d of November 1803, a little over 14 years ago. For moro than 13 years, the eventual un earthing of this foulest of all murders was not as much ns dreamt of, and probably Hover would have come to light had not sundry developments during tlio lato Alolly Magulrc trials furnished a clue to the mystery enveloping tho same. And once in possession of this clue, it was but natural our energetic District Attorney would o nothing uudono W unravel the mys tery. Hence for over a year has this case received his most careful investigation, and now well ho lijs succeeded in Working it up. Tho presence in our county jail of McDon nell and Sharpc, clearly demonstrates. Tho former, finding Carbon county too hot for him, left hero in last June, stopping lirst in (ioid mil, Nevada, men m tne Black Hills, and lastly In Rockland county Illinois, whero ho was arrested, and whence ho was brought on, Brit for the failure to mice tho requisite funds, ho would have been arrested while yet in Nevada. Sharjic, who had never left tho Lehigh region, was apprehended at Wanamie, us stated. That ell'orts looking to their arrests were being niado by Mr. Siewci-s, was known to several habitues of the District Attorney's oflice, but beyond this nothing transpired. For a month past your correspondent knew all about the all'air, but being pledged to silence, ho was not at liberty to mention aught with reference to tho contemplated arrest. For the information of those of our readers who may not bo conversant witli the facts in tho case, I annex tho followinc : Goo. K. Smith, then interested in tho Yorktown collier, had been to Mauch Chunk on the day pieccediug the assasinataiou, and was so ill on his return homo that he retired to bed, requesting that ho bo nut disturbed by any one. Whether lrom a knowledge of tho fact that lioli.id enemies, it would, at present be hard to tell, but across dog owned by him, was kept about the premises, and a trusted employee named Ulrich, was requested to watch the house that night. Ills orders were to admit no one. Before proceeding -iVitli the narrative, it may l'j projicr here to state that this was in tho very midst ortlib draft excilementnul that Mr. Smith, for tho very conspicious part he had taken in tho catiso of Jaw and order) had many secret enemies. Besides, etrango murniunngs rind movements during the day threatcilings, and the lutrchuso ol large quantities of powder, led tho clerks ut his store to susiiecttliat mischief was brewing. iiu tiuum nuauueu, ills WHO unu Ulrica nlA.l T,:.. i.. - loud knock ht the door, and to Ulrich's in quiry who it was arid what was wanted, the applicant without claimed that ho must tee Mr, Smith; ns ho had an important message to deliver to him. Tins cava rise toaphnrtlmrovlnt'hnp.lns of which tlio caller, accomtianicd by ft second who had meanwhile joined him, was admit ted. Once inside, they continually pressed upon Mr. Ulrieh, and advanced claiming tiiat they must see Mr. Smith personally. Ulrieh had already delected tli.it tlio un bidden visitors weredisguised, and when, in tho cours of the scufllo that ensued, a pistol, in possession of tho taller fell and was dis- ehargoi. Ulrich ut once concluded that Vtheirvfsitjiortended nothing good. Attracted by tho noise, Mrs. Smitii njiiteared upon the scene, and to her question what was wanted, the taller of tho two replied that they had a message from Mr. A. G. Brodhcad which they desired to deliver to Smith jwrsonally. Meanwhile Mr. Smith made his appearance among the iwrty, and what then hapjiencd is somewhat of a mystery. In a moment the hall was crowded there was a short struggle and indiscriminate firing at tlio end of which Mr. Smith lay prostrato at tho landintr. stark dead, his head pierced by a musket-ball. iur. uiricn claims mat during the struggle ho shot tho bigger man in the thumb, and as tho "hairy man" (McDonnell) is minus that useful member, the link connecting him with the murder apiiears not to bo wanting. Smith was dead, but such was tho terror iuipircd by the " buck-shots" (as tho Mollies were then called) that for years none dared to raise his voice jn accusation, although it was very Generally known who tlio raiders of that night had been. But "murder will oui ; eventually there were those who ilareil tostieakland tho iiiforlnatioii furnish ed by them has resulted in tho apprehension of the above. That the evidences of guilt in Mr. Slewcrs' jiossession will be such as to exclude an eventual etcope, is not to bo doubted. McDonnell, generally knowrl as the " hairy man" has always been considered ono of the most desjieralo Mollies abroad. A former resident of Schuylkill county; prison ers hail for years been n neighbor of the lato John Donohue, aiaj Yellow Jack, and, like the deiarted,.had acquired a name as being oHit of the most desiwrato Mollies in that patt of thecountry. If only ono half of what is stated may bo relied on, tho prisoner will not bo liksly to escajw the meshes of the law. On Thursday forenoon a large delegation of cx-Molliea principally squealers wero in attendance at the "District Attorney's office, to" testify to such facts in tho case as they wero cognizant of. But of this nothing has transpired, henco riothing is known, and as next Court is not called as a Court of Oyer and Terminer, the prisoners cannot bo tried until April, nnd until then nothing respect ing the contemplated course of the prosecu tion will probably transpire. On the whole, the number present at the house of Smith at the time of the homicide, and the years that have passed since its commission, will certainly have a tendency to somewhat embarrass judicial proceedings, if not to defeat the ends of justice entirely, McDonnell is a man of 47 years, and, with ordinary luck, may yet live to celebrate his JOth birthday in Carln county jiil.

The Corel Trails. Says tho Philadelphia, Lolgcr of Monday, A very excellent feeling', so far as wo can judge, prevades tho entire 'anthracite coal trade. We do not call tomind a time with in tlio paH fen Vcars when tho several into rests in the tmdo wero mora (Vllly in accord than at the present moment. Tho miners, tho operators and tho carrying companies seemingly have united iu reaching tho sanio desired erid by the same means, which is by lessening waste of coal nnd realizing a liv ing profit on tho amount marketed. Tho Ledger, in favoring this movement, is not to bo understood as favoring onerous tir linduo prices of coal bn consu'mers', bit', by VA0V0 economy in production and less violent com petition in tlio marketing of coal, desires to keep a steady supply of that necessity to comfort in tlio market, and thus maintain more nearly even prices. It is not desirable that prices should bo reduced below a pay ing profit and thus produce bankruptcy to" tne parties engaged in tne trade. -Alio sure following of such a course is eventually much higher prices to consumers. Every uusiuvss Jursuik musb J'a luteies!, uu cajH' tal and watres to labor or it will not bo con tinued. Tho coal business is no exception to this general truism. Indeed, as it is one that requires large capital to put in opera tion, and that loses largely if its costly machinery is allowed to fall into disuse, it is most important that it should bo kept stead ily in operation. To this end tlio proiiosed combination is .generally thought to bo es sential as well to steady prices to those who uso coal for domestic pui-pbses as to those who uso it as a necessary and costly ingred ient in manufactures. If coal prices fluctu ate widely and frequently iron and other manufacturing pursuits into which coal en ters also fluctuate, nnd finally nffect wages. Stability ill the price .of coal is desirable at all loiuts, from its bed in the mines to tho whges of tho laborer engaged in attending tho machinery which tlio steam it cencrates drives. Everybody is benefitted in tho maintenance ol steady but no JUgner man pay ing prices of coal. The belief to-day is that nn agrecmcrit among tlio several pro ducing regions and tho Beven largo coal car rying companies will be effected lor tho gov ernment of the trade during tho next and and several succeeding years. This agree ment will embody substantially that pre-part-d by President Gowen, of the Redding Railroad Company, nudoriginally published jh tliese columns two weeks ago. There were, wo Understand, but four or ilvo points touch ed at the first meeting of tho reiirescntatjves of tho proposed combination that elicited dls cussiom Three of tlicso wero explained arid adjusted at once. Theso comprise the establishment of a Board of Control, tho right of each interest to -fix its own prices of coal, and tho establishing of a penalty for production in excess of the amount allotted. Tlio provbiori for a fund out of which penal ties shall be iuid caused some little discus eipn, dn'd the amount originally named has been considerably reduced) though it is by no mcaiis certain that tho best wisdom has been shown in this lessening. of the amount. What is essential in tho proposed engage ment of tho companies, ono with another, is to have the public believe that its condi tions are to bo enforced and that it will bo wrmaneiit. A largo fund raised and put tit stake for this purposo will no doubt go far in giyiug rtssuranco of stability. Tho smaller amount contemplated may, perhaps) roin mand this assurance, nnd if go, well (, but unless tne public accept any nrrnhgeirient made as lasting it will prove a rope of sand. Tho only remaining point opcil for consider ation at tho meeting to beheld on Thursday next is the matter of allotttricht of percent age of tonnage to each' of the high contract ing parties. As all parlies so far have shown A generous spirit ofeonciliation there is little reason to doubt harmonious action to tho end.
