recently acquitted of the murder
of Irof. Octavius V. Catto, a colored
gentleman of Philadelphia, is now on
trial for the murder of asotber color
ed man, Isaac Chase, on October 10,
1871. The evidence is strong against
him, but there is little hope of his
conviction, as the evidence in the
Catto case pointed to hint as the
murderer, and yet he escaped, to use
his pistol with similar effectiveness
when private malice or the exigen
cies of the campaign demand a sacri

Brief Statement of the CrimeB of
the Mollie Mguires, who were
Hang at Pottsriile. Mauch
Chttok and Wilkesbarre, last
Thursday, and their Executions
as per Dispatches.
For fourteen years, ending with 1876,
the populous mioing districts of Cist
ern Pennsylvania were terrorized over
by a lojsterious secret society. During
tbat time at least twelve brutal ansa
s:rat'uu of rrotyinent citit.us were
coiuniitteJ by it; but the ten nieo who
were executed t l'uttville and Mauch
Cbuuk ani the ouo at Wilkesbarre last
I bursdsy were the Erst ot its meinbri
to suffer for tbeir Crimea.
Io tho excitement, confusion, and
laxity of civil discipline into which
every community was thrown by the
outbreak ot the rebellion, the Mollie
Maguires came to the surface. It was
called by varieua names, but tbat of
"Mollie Maeuires" was the most com
mon one, and the participants in one of
the early outrages openly boested of
being ' Mollie Maguires." This wat
in December, ISG'2, when an attack was
made by an armed force of abjut two
hundred lutn on the collieries of Wm.
jGoyne, in Cass town.b'p, Sl.uikill
' couuty.
They stoj'ptj tLe engines and pumps,
1 cloaed the colliery store, beat a number
j of miners who bad persisted in work
j ing for the new tenant, and severely in
. jared three other men who c&me iu their
j way.
I The first murder committed by the
' organization was that of F. W. S. Lang
'don, June 14, 1S62. Laugdon was
j ''breaker boss'' at a colliery near Au
deuried, Carbon oounty. He was faith
i ful to bis employers, insisted that the
men under bis charge should do good
work, and obey the rules, aud bis good
sou'iuct cost bitn bis life. The lawless
spirits employed about the colliery re
sented bis " cfficioasDess," and only
j raited for a favorable opportunity to
nop 11 eueciuauj
They found it amid the noise and !
bustle at a public meeting to arrange a
Fourth of July celebration. Tbe Amer
ican flag was displayed, and somebody
spat on it ; Laugdon reuiouatrated.
wheB a crowd of ruffians gathered about .
him with angry words aud threat.
Tbat night Langdon started to walk I
. , , ... , , .
hoine a. one ; he was followed by a moo
' 3
and stoned to death. There weie no I
arrests at the time The oiarJer was (
cbaiged to 'Mollie Maguires," and that j
was the end of it for lourtecn years
HOW TUE WORK WAS DONS.
The murder of Geoige K. Smith, at
Audeureid, in November, 1&C3, was
followed by a Mollie funeral, bat no
body deeu-ed it advisable to ask indis
creet questions. On the night of Feb
ruary 11, 1867, the house ol John C.
Nortball, a coal operator, at Tuscaror,
Schuylkill couuty, was attacked by a
body of men, who fired into tha win
dow of bis bed room. Mr. Norlhall
was away from home, but tbe neighbors
gathered and the assaiUuts fled leaving
beuiog them the body ot uua of their
number.
In 1875 tbe Philadelphia aud Read
iug l oat aud Iron Company, two or
ganizations which owned most of tbe
cutleries in the region io which the
Mollie .iiaguires were most active,
established tbe Coal anJ Iron Police, a j
body of men who oomb.ned tbe duties
of scours, constables, and detectives.
1 he establishment of this force was
followed by more murders. On the
night of the 5th of July, 75, Benja
min K. lost, a policeman, of 1 amaqiia,
Schuylkill couuty, was shot on his beat
as be was mounting his I-jdder to ex
tinguish t street lamp. Oa the morn
ing of the 1st of September, 1375, as
the miners employed in the colliery of j
S. M. lleaton o;0o , at Raven llun.
Schuylkill county, were going to wort
five strangers were observed loitering
about tbe works; but this was too ccui
uion a matter to attract t'tentioo.
Seen o'eloek was the hour for be
gintog work, ar.d about balf past six
the workman began to gather tbout the
mine, tod there were one hundred or
more in the vicinity when Thomas San
er, the ' Inside boss," caruo out of bis
bouse aud walked toward the entrance
of the mine, accompanied by t young
man named William Uren. The five
strangers advanced, shot Sanger and
I'ren fatally, emptid their revolvers at
the miners who were looking on in
stupid sarprise, aud then escaped to tbe
surrrounding woods, where all trace of
tbein was lost.
Two dijs later, on the morning of
the 3d of September, John P. Jones, a
mining boss st Lansford a colliery town
in Carbon county, between Miucli
Chunk and Tamarjua, was met, ts be
was on bis wty to work, by two strange
men, wLo, without saying t word fired
number of shots into biin, killing him
instantly, then turned and escaped be
fore purtuit could conld be organized,
The telegraph was instantly set tn work,
the wbole oaniry, already highly
excited by tbe murder of Uren tnd
Sanger, was thoroughly trousen, busi
ness was suspended, and crowds of men
begau a systematio searob for tbe mur
derers. About noon of the same day three
men were found sitting by a spring on
the ootekirts of Tamaqua, tnd a chain
of circumstances poiuted conclusively
lo them at tne assassins. Oue of them
was recognized ts James Kerrigan, of
Tamaqua, a young rough welt kuown to
tbe police ; theoihers were strangers.
Tbe three were given t basty bearing
and dispatched by spec:al train to
Mauch Chunk, narrowly escaping lynch
ing on the way.
The s'rsngers were identified as Mi
chael J. Doyle and Edward Kelly, of
Mount Laflee, Schuylkill county. The
three were indicted in due form, and
elected to be tried separately, ts by the
law of the State they were permitted
to do. Doyle was the Grst to be tried.
A powerful chain of circums'antial evi
dence Was wound about bini, tod the
1st February, 1876, he was convicted
of niurder in the first degree. Every
source of the Itw wts tried to gain bis
release, but withont trail.
THE END Or THE TRAGEDY JUSTICE tfjt
"DICATED AT MAUCH CHUNK.
Mauch Cursx, June 21. At 10:52
this morning the four Mollie Ma-
guires confined here were executed.
All the arrangements for the execu

Shortly after the deputy sheriffs and
reporters and other assistants,' the
sheriff adjusted the drop1 and called
Lis assistants to him. In a few min
utes the prisoners appeared and Walk

priests prayed for several minutes.
The ropes were then adjusted.
When asked if they had anything to
sayj Campliell replied that he forgave
everybody, and continued: "I nue
not an enemy m the world at tins
moment.
Doyle spoke for some time, but his
words were inaudible to any but the
sheriff and the priests.
Donohue had nothing to say, and
Kelly recited after the priest a plea
for forgiveness.
The drop fell at 10:45. Dnobne
struggled for two minutes, but the
others died easily. Doyle's heart
ceased to beat iu twelve minutes,
Campbell's in fourteen, Donohue's
in six, and Kelly's in seven and a half.
The bodies were allowed to hang
twenty-five minutes. No mishap
whatever occurred.

A correspondent of the H'vrfJ who
made the trip on the Indiana withUen
eral Grant contributes the following :
On Monday morning the General re
galed us with an acennut of bis eiprri
ence while dressing, which, although
common to all of ns, was made very
ludicrous hv one incident "The
ship was laboring fiom side to s'de
very heavily, taid General urant,
"and I tried to pull tu my pauts.
Just as 1 succeeded iu inserting one
le about Lalfway, and was gracefully
balancing niyjelf fowl-like on tbe other,
tbe deck of the Irdiana stood up on
end. and I found myself chased about
the fl ior of tbe state room by six or
seven valises, hair brushes, and parcels.
In vain I tried to regaio my feet or to
catch bold of tbe side of the sleeping
berth. Again and again the rbip
plunged about, until 1 found myself
clinging to the waahstand in t corner of
he room. 1 beld on to this for dear
life, aud then the first thing I did was
to look up tnd see if Jesse was awake
for be is t caricaturist, and would bave
bad me down on paper tnd up in the
suioking room before 1 bad even time
to dress myself. But as it happened,
Jesse was still fast asleep, and 1 then
surveyed the sceuo calmly until I found
t good way to raise myself np. Jesse
is very quick with bis pencil, and does
not hesitate to expose bis father's pecu
liarities." Fay for Ihe Visits.
Last month t physician was sent for

Tbe Red and Blue Ribbon.
Tbe temperance people in the West
