Shamokin, formerly the home of pat. Haster, “ King of the Molly Maguires,” was first made the centreof operations, Incendiariem was quite frequent for a time, much valuable properiy be- ing destroyed. Tiat the Mollies were not satis- fied with this, and originated THE J¥ORK OF MURDER. Ore morning, ir. Igoating Deideman, a well- known coal-operator, was discovered near & “ presker,” teriiblpstabbed and ia a dying con- ditirn. He was unable to describe his murderer or murderess ; and thus no one was srreszed for the crime. Soon after, John Bowers, aa employe in & mill at Tamenend, wss found o the mill-race. When the corpse was taken from the water, gaping wounds were detected mupon it. Bowers had ‘teen murdered and thrown into the race to cover the crime. Notlong afterwards, several corpses, ko disfigurod 28 to be unrecognizable, were found in the Susquehanna River. Then followed Thomas Close's asea: ion. at Helfenstein.

While the conflagration was destroying the surrounding properts, s riot was commenced. For somo time the conflict wes fearful. Finally the citizens congnered the Mollies, but not until Cluef Bur- gess George Major received his death-wound froma pistol fired by Dan Dougherts. who headod the aewnulting party. Dougherty was arrested, and locked up in a hotel, about which n powerful gaard wns posted. The greatast ex- citoment exifted 1n Mahanoy, as it becamo whia- pered around that the murderer’s friends would storm the town and free him. Tho countr authoritics _were telegraphed to, and a posse of officers, accompanied by 3 compnny of troops from Shamokin, arnved. Dougherty was manacled. put aboard a epecial train, and, ina little whilo, eafely lodged in the Pottsville Jail. Since that time, the Mollies have indulged in NUMEROUS RIOTOUS DEMONSTRATIONS, the latest beivg on Saturday, Sunday. and Mon- day pights last.” In all these outbreaks, persons aro wounded. The tiouble is not over vet. Father Maus, who made himself conspicuons by rebuking. these disgraceful proceeditgs, bas been the recipient of a mnotice to leave the town. thers have bad Ku-Klux missives, illustrated with skulls, cross-bones, coftins, pistols, knives, aud similer dinbolical de- wigng, seot them, and threatening desth if any further reflections are cast upon the orgeniza- tion. _A telegraphic operator, employed by the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company. who bad sent a diepatch of the lawlees traneactions, for some one, to & Potteville paper, was visited by the gang, and only escaped with his life by telling the infuriated’ wretches that he would take no more such dispatches, _ Dr. Carpenter, for soma time a resident of Mahanoy Plane, made himself obuoxious to the Mollies.” He recently BUDDENLY AND STRANGELY DISATPCARED.

Previous to these murdois, Frank Shevlin snd Henry Fisher were murdered in the upper part of the region. ‘The most atrocious deed perpetrated in Schuvlkill County was witnessed at Fishback, within the corporate limits of Pottswille, the county-seat. While James Hunt, an indnstri- ous and inoffensive man, ssho had been to Potts- ville with hts wife, mukine some purchases, on a Saturday night, two weeka since, wes returning to his home at Monnt T'offee, a number of Mol- lies attacked him, and BEAT HIS BRAINS OUT WITH NEAVY STONES.

It was reported publicly on the Board that the case would not he decided for months; it was decided in the latter part of September, and, 28 he believed, the intention was willfully aud maliciously to bring about what the prosent mectiag was called for. He would undertake to prove thatin the court. Boon after tho lust of September, several of his creditors filed complaints with the Board of Dircctors, with a view of adjusting their claims against him. It was the duty of- the Di~ rectory, to themselves, to him, and the Board of Trade, to examine those charges: bat, as ho claimed, through prejudice, the claims were lud aside, and the charges preferred sgalust bim were tried first. It seemed to him tnat they could prejudice his case more by such a coarso than by zny other. The meeting was called by him when he was under no dieci- pline whatever ; and be had called it at the finst oppostunity afforded hitw, when it scemed that Le wes not attempting to influence votes, and, as lie 3id to a member of the Board, he wonld not biwve done it before if all the members had’ voted for him. It had been said that he Leld MATGIN-TICEETS which he had refusad to wudorse, and that he bad refused to indome those held by oihera. That he dirclatmed. He had indorzed every margin-ticket that he had been asked to. In the case of Mr. Pulsifer, who bad.$5,000 more up than hie claim zmounted to. e '(Sturzes) sigued a mar- gin t for $2,000, though he (Pulsifer) re- L0 sign down lus 25,000; which, bowever, > (S:urges) did not seriously objec: to. - He said this 1n justico to himaelf.
