Parrsvu.LE, Mag 9.—The Yost
Murder trial growS in Interest as it'
pi'oceeds. - The rentrarittmction,is,
of course, the detective witness /
James 3lcParlan, who tells a roman-
tic story of adventures among the
murderous Mollies which would make
the fortune of a dune novelist, yet
tells it all with a quiet precision and
circumstantiality that halite the keen
est cross-examiners at the bar aid
makes an evidently deep ,impression
on the jury. Yesterday be told the
secret history of the mysterious order,
and how he succeeded in working his
way into it, a feat in which several
detectives hadTreviously failed.
BOW U} BECAME A a MOLLIE."
Mcl'arhui's first'eare when sent to
this country by the Pinkerton Agency
to work up the Yost case was to be
come a member of the famous society.
Fortnna.telyhe possesed the first requi
sites for admission in being an Irish
man and a Catholic. .Knowing some
•thing of the habits of the men who
compose the order, he spent mustol
his' time in low groggeriesolrank
fearful quantity of bail whiskey, and
made himself as agreeable as possible
to their frequenters. It was not long
until he caught an expression which
his practiced ear told him was a pass
word. lie committed it to memory.
and took an opportunity when the
proprietor of the saloon was in a pe
culiarly mellow condition to repeat
the Words to him. The man stared
at him. and aske lave you been
theie?"'" That's 'who. ky call me,"
replied the , detective; and so far he
knew: he wasi right. The landlord,
DOrmer+.' an s ex-County Comisioner,
by the *ay=was.easily satisfied with
a cock-and-bull story about a "divis
ion" in Buffalo to which his new
friend had belonged, a long tine ago;
but the next interogator, one Michael
Cooney, was not so easily deceived.
Cooney asked questions Which the
detective • could not answer, and it
presently beCame necessary to find a
way out of what threatened to , be an
unpleasant predicament. Drinks were
always in order ; and "Come take a
.drink," was a very good way to
change the subject, and McKenna, as
the detective was known to his friends
of the ready pistol, unfortunately
drank too much, and presently ttunbl
ed over on the floor, "dead drunk:"
Thereupon—it reads like a chapter.
from a sensation weekly—Cooney
and Dormer began talking over his
prostrate form, and unwittingly sup
plied himiwith all the information 'he
needed. Ile found that he ought
Ur - have a card fry in the "body mastcr"
or head man, at Buffalo, and it 'be
came necuessary to explain Why Le
was with Out that important docu
ment. So he told a harrowing tale
of how he had killed a man in Binlitlo,
and had tO leave on short notice, and
was afraid r ., to send for a card lest he
should be detected. Now, the Mollie
Maguire has this in common With the
supporters of "the code" that he has
great respect tor a person who has
killed his man,
and as "McKenna"
was a very good fellow, and very free
with his money, of which he appear
ed to.have considerable, his apology
was accepted without further question
and he was received into the Order.
His testimony is the first official ex
position ever made.
CONFESSION OF PIPER.
Thomas W. Piper, formerly the
sexton cif the Warren Avemie Church,
Boston,'-Mass., who is under sentence
of death for the murder of the child
Mal)le Young in the belfry of the
church, is reported to have acknowl
edged to his counsel list Saturday
thitt . he killed the. child also
.that he
murdered Bridget Landreg,An, at Dor
chester, Mass., on the night of the
sth of December, a crime of which
he had long been strspeeted, and that
he committed the mysterious and
nearly fatal assault on- Mary Tyner
in Oxford street, Boston, nearly two
years ago. Bridget Landregin was a
domestic servant of good repute, and
while returning to her home at nine
o'clock at night, from a visit to some
friends, was assaulted and brutally
clubbed `to death. Mary Tyner was
a gill of bad repute, and was found
oue.night in her bed insensible and
terribly mangled. Piper declares
that he had no motive for these
crimes, particularly the murder. of
the child, and einnot understand
hOw he came to commit them. It is

A SICKENING TRAGEDY.
Sca.tsays, Pa.. May 9.—A disputed
line between the premises of George
Wert and Robert Savage, near neigh

While SaVage was. (emolishing
Wert's shed, built over the disputed
ground, the latter Caine out of his
house to protest, whdn ! Savve bru
tally assailed him with an ax, knock
ing him down senseless, and after -,f
wards barbarously injuring his head'
with a stone. Mrs. Weft ran to her
husband's assistance, but • was too
late to save him, and while she,held
ler dying husband his murderer
coolly finished destroying .the shed.

THAT Morton. is a thief and that
he stole public money entrusted to
him as Governor of Indiana in 1863,
isn't even a plausible campai ,, n false
hood, and the Democrat who now
ventures to inquire into the circum
stances which made it a public neces
sity to -entrust Governor Morton
with a quarter of a million of public
money, has n't wit enough to get in
out of the rain when he sees the way
before him. Such an investigation
would rand plump in the true in
wardness of the Knights of the Mid
en Circle, and their desperate efforts
in Indiana to promote the success of
rebellion, and that's not thO sort of

need of just novir.-Phila. Times.
A terrible explosion occurred Tues

PATRICK GILLAGHEit were working.

this occasion, are not the ones to folly
grasp its greatness. We stand too dose
beside its dazzling splendors. We krilm,
that it symbolizes the success of free
government. We know that it bears wit
ness to the achievements of ,a century's
cizilization. We know that we have
spread the board, and that Divine Provi.
dence has so blessed with rare fruitt, -
that all nations of the earth—some of
them older than history itself-have come
to Partake and become our guests.
Jut the full significance of this achieve
ment we cannot know. Six months from
now the gorgeous fabric of these Centen
nial edifices will hive faded away.. The
lights will have tied, and the banquet ball
Will be deserted. And yet these struc
tnres, fashioned of wood and iron, to stand
but fora season, in the providence of
God, may endure, in their results, when
the Pyramids shall have crumbled to the
plains. They knit us together more than
Congresses have done; for Congresses are
but the representatives of the people—
not always that—but hero the people have
come together to clasp hands, and let us
hope "to form a more perfect union."
But though we may not fully grasp the
grand expanse of this celebration, the
children of to-day—the little boys 'and
girls just big enough to wave toy tlags—
will gather the fruits in after years, when
we are mingled with the dust. As we
1 ,
sow, they shall reap. L•t us see to it
that we sow wisely, and. it the temper of
those brave, God-fearing I en, who gave
us this republic•as a heritage. -
AT TUE DAWN'S EARLY LUDIT:'

of bells in the steeples and manufactories,
the banging of cannon and minature lire
arms,land at an early hour the members
of the inilitia were on the way to their
respective armories fully equiped for the
ih! rade. It appeared by coinmon consent
that business ' was to be temporarily
abandoned, and the request contained in
the Mayor's produnation was generally
observed.' By 7 o'clock the town iwas
wide awake, and the principal thorough

throng. The horse car companies, with
their usual business tact, crowded all the
