made that night to hnrii the Lefgat't
Creek breaker of the Pelawuie and

The story was started by one James

On Thnrstay evening at.ont S o'elork
while he was going to his home at tbf
Leggett's C'reeK shaft from Providence
he overheard two men plotting the de
struction of the Laggett'l Oraek
breaker in the vicinity. They were sit
ting nuder the edit of the bank neur
the railroad, wunin 100 yards of the
shaft at the time and spoke in a rap
pressed an I whispered tone. Tbey
pasped eainionsly around, lest anybody
nujfhl be within hearing distance, and
in doing so ol served there was an in
truder on their privacy. Knowing
that their diabolical plot was no louner
a secret, they sprang on Mulloy With
the ferocity of desperation, knocked
him dowu and kicked him ami would
evidently have killed him but for the
lUUUlMM suggestion of one of toe nil -ham.

rXC ITI'MKNT AT T1IK SHAFT.
At the shaft all was excitement, and
a d in or so of extra wntciimeu were
c.in fully guarding the company's prop

Mulloy said the ruffians Intended to
fire the breaker in several places, and,
when the crowd would assemble, get in

it' scribes the tw men as being tall and
thin, with peculiar hrnud-ritumod hats
of the 0OWlay pattern. They had their
features disguised to such an extent
that he conliln't describe them. Ac
cording to Mulloy, tns gang also pro
posed to rob Providence stores during
the excitement.
It is supposed they sro members of n

During the past winter several depre

cinity of Marvine patch. About two
months ago William lUrrington whs
I'll up abont 11 o'clock by two foot
pads near the Charles street bridge
and jfS taken from him. About the
same time three men, one of whom dir
tied a ehot-gnn. were seen prowling
aronnd the residence of Mr, Kosa, but
were foiled in their evident designs to
burglarize by the vigilance of Mr Ross,
who, with the assistance of his father,
pnt them to Might.
Last night the Delaware and Hndsnn
company renewed their watehfulnes
ut the breaker, notwithstanding the
assertion that Mulloy' story h is a
fishy odor In fact, it has been stig
grated that the whole matter Is a hoax,
perpetrated for the purpose of winning
the good graces of tho corporation and
lm 'I ntally securing a job for Mulloy.
On the other hand, the boy mav have
been honest in his narration, but tba
victim of the parties who used him in
the manner set forth, who told bim
thu atory merely to frighten bim.
VIGILANCE NOT KEI.AXi:!).
Laat night, however, the vigilance
of the police was not relaxed and they
propose apprehending the men,

otherwise.

GREAT COLLIERY FIRE.
Conflagration Spreading at Packer No.
1, Fottsville.
PoTTSViM.it, Pa., May 4 The fire in
Parker colliery No. 1 is gaining on tbe
men who aro fighting it, and there is a
likelihood that it will keep spreading,
despite tbe bard efforts of the officials
to keep it in one place. The lateat de
& t BREAKER
velopment is that the fire threatens the
workings of the Reading company's
Rear Ridge colliery, situatad acroas tbe
mountaiu in tbe Mahanoy valley.
The Lehigh Valley Coal company's
officials are doing everything in their
power to reach tho fire, but it has been
gaining on tbetn steadily, and the
whole underground workings of the

Tho companies have armed n large

will go to the works at midnight. The
workmen will go to work at 3 o'clock
iu the morning, bnt no trouble is ex
