Boucicault' d ew Irish Drama. |

The aotiontof Bouoicault's new drama,
.Ihe Shaughrnn, passes in IRELAND,
IN the Goungy pIfgp, a5 tho present
day. The peraoRs represented are
mostly Irish. <sIEt has much that is COM
mon, and mdch that is not common,
with the Irish plays familiar to people
who frequnnt theaters. What is has in
common with these plays is It's skele!

the Fenian troubles are the source Of
the leading Incidents. The principal

lowing account OF a series Of mnrtl> rs
in the Pennsylvania coal regions:
''The reign of lawlessness in the coal
regions appears to be continusily grow

that most of the perpetrators Of the
assaults and murders escape capture

Saturday night or Sunday morning last
two men were murdered AMI three

probably die. Patrick Padden, miner
at the Coalbrook Gallery, was found
