peared, raying ho would return with a re
volver and shoot somebody. Tho inosncnger
returned to tho saloon, accompanied by
Policeman Martin Mullrhey.
While tho ollicor was in tie saloon, listen
ing to tho complaints of tho landlord an I
bartender, ho heard Quinn threatening to
shoot into the crowd on the sidewalk. JIul
lahy started up the stein leading from tho
saloon nud was met by Quinn, who shoved
tho muzzle of a rillo against his breast. The
ollicer pushed the weapon aside and closed
in with tho man on tho pavement. At the
same time (iuinn raised a rovolver he carried
in his right hand and dealt the officer a blow
just above tho temple. Mullahy fell to the
pavement, but held on tho prisoner. When
tho ollicor had pirtly regained his feet Quinn
again hit him on the head with the revolver.
Mullahy fell again, but still held on to tho
desperate man, regained his feet, and then
commenced work with his club. Ho pounded
Qiiinu's arms until tho man released tho
rillo and rovolver, and then marched him to
tho lockup. Muliahy bled freely from tho
wounds ho received' Quinn was put under
SJ300 bail by Justice Shoemaker.

"I was a sutTcrer for a long time from
asthma, vainly endeavoring to procure relief
in tho use of ordinary romedies. At length I
was induced to try a bottle of Ayer'a Cherry
Peotoral. The first bottle afforded me so
much benefit that I continued the uso of the
remody until entirely cured."

Camp McKenzie, Ga., Dec. 3. The first
soldiers to bo sent to Cuba from this camp

one hundred men, from the hospital corps of
the First Maryland regiment. The 15th
Penna. regiment is ono of tho throe that is
to go to Havana. It Is rumored about camp,
and it appears to bo authentic, that tho
Eighth Regiment, Pa. V. I., including tho
Schuylkill county companies, will eat thoir
Christinas dinner at home. There Is not
much likelihood that they will go to Cuba,
although the majority of tho boys are anxious
to go to the island,
Tho first snow of the season hero fell on
tho 23th. It only lasted for a short while,
and was hardly noticeable
Tho boys from tho JVortli laKe mucn in
terest in tho convict gangs, composed princi
pally of negroes. They aro dressed In regular
convict suits, chained together with large
iron chains, and most of them aro serving
terms of from three to twolvo years. It was
ono of those gangs that cleared tho ground
for our camp.
Tho people of Augusta are treating us line,
and their generous spirit will long bo remcm-.
bered. A society of ladies havo established
what Is known as the "Soldier's Rest," com
prising two largo rooms in a building where
wo can go and enjoy ourselves in reauiug
papers from homo, and coffee and sandwiches

Letters addressed to us should now bear

MURDERED JBY BURGLARS.
Ilutol I'ropi-lotor nt 1 11 ryon Shot nnd
Pi3i-vn.it Round nml On trued.
Scranton, Pa., Dec. D. Michael F.
Corcoran, proprietor of the Anthracite
hotel, nt Duryeu, was murdered In the
most cold hloouod fashion by burglars,
one of his two servants was bound,
(ragged and blindfolded, and the safe
In his bedroom was blown open and
about $200 In money and other valu
ables stolen at an early hour In the
morning'.
Four masked men entered the hotel
at 1:30 o'clock by a rear window. They
forced open the door of his bedroom,
where the safe was located, and shot
lilm dead before he could reach for his
revolver, which was lying on a bureau.
Mary Monahan, one of the servants,
was awakened by the noise and de
scended the stairs. She was covered
with revolvers, and after being bound
and gagged was placed on the bed
alongside Corcoran's body. She says
one of the sang wanted to kill her also,
but was prevented by the leader of the
party.
The safe was loaded and fired while
a conl train was passing. The robbers
rtulrkly gathered their plunder and left.
The Monahan girl wriggled loose from
the clothes line which bound her nnd
summoned the occupantB of adjoining
buildings. Soon after daylight over a
dozen representatives of the Scranton,
Pittston and Wllkesbarre police depart
ments were on the ground, and a vigor
ous hunt Is being made for the gang.
