The MURDER OF CAPTAIN E. GODFREY
REHRER. -Arrest Of the Murdersrs. About
month ago, Captain Z. Godfrey Rehrer,
son Of Major ]. Rehrer, of this city, mys.
teriously disappeared from bis residence, in
Schuylkill County, and as nothing could be
ascertained in regard to his fate, i. was sup
posed be had been foully dealt with. On
Thursday evening telegram was received
BY the father Of the murdered man, stating
that young Albrigh;son, the son Of one Of
Captain Rchrcr,s partners, had divuiged
the facts Of the murder. 1t seems that one
Of the partners, named Smith, had employ
ed two men who resided at Tamaqua, to put
Capt. Rehrer out Of the way, which they
did, and threw his body into one Of the cd
slopes among the mines, and by fastening
heavy weights to it sank it to the bottom,
depth Of three hundred feet. Shortly after
the disappearance Of Capt. Rehrer, Smith
sent letter to the assassins, advising them
to leave. This letter remained in the post
Office, and was finally sent to the dead letter
Office, where it was opened, and immediate.
ly sent to the police officers OF the place
where Mr.. Rehrer resided. These officials
at once charged Albrightson with being con-
nected with the affair, when hedivulged the
whole matter but said he knew nothing Of
ii until after Capt Rehrer was missing. The
assassins are now in the Jail at Buffalo, New
York, one Of them having in bis possession
the watch of the murdered man. The 9th.
er parties implicated are in prison at Potts.

ced is to be pumped dry, in order that the
remains may be recovered. - State Guard.
