The N oily Maguire's at Work.

Pottsville. October 9. There were three lncen-
diary fires, on three successive nights this week,
at collieries located in widely separated sections
of the coal region, which have aroused public ap-
prehensions OF the existence Of new and danger
Gus course of action by the Molly Maguires. The
first was Tuesday night, when . splendid new
breaker attached to Graeber & Kemble's collery
at Locust Gap was burned to the ground; loss
800, 900. The second, on Wednesday night, was
an attempt to burn the Philadelphia & Reading
companys breaker at the West Brookside colliery
The blacksmith and carpenter shops, oil house and
the breaker was saved. The third fire occurred
andoah, where the mill was destroyed loss 5000.
WI ere no fires had been used during the
day. 1t is evident that the Molly Maguires are
carrying on an organized scheme of arson.
Pottsville, October 10. There was considerable
shooting and breaches of the peace at Shenandoah
last night, and at one time there were fears of q
riotous disturbance. Two men were shot-one
Richard Finnell, slightly, and Jim Johns seriously
and his throat cut. In attempting to make arrests
the police were frequently shot at, though the
shots did not take effect. One despatch states
that over 100 shots were fired ON the principal
street at the officers. To day, citizens generally
anticipated another outbreak Tonight, another
deputy sheriff was compelled 70 issue proc
lamation. AT Mshoney City there were a num-
Der of incendary fires. Two dwelling houses
and three stables were burned to the ground. 3
men we're arrested for melting the riot. Ten ad-
dtional arrests were made to-day, for melting the
riot and incendiarism.

the skeletons Of five persons. which had evidently
been exposed to the weather for months. From
the clothing and shoes on them he judged that the
skeletons were those of Engligh sailors.

driving 10 this city from Togus, they met in the
branch road leading to the Soldiers Home, the OK
team belonging to the home, drawing load of
stone. The driver was walking behind the load.
Although the ladies' turned their team out into the
ravine beside the road, the wheel of the heavy
granite wagon struck against the forward wheel of
their carrisge, breaking the wheel and the axle,
and throwing Miss Dow out, though not injuring
her. The horse was kind one and stopped short
after the accident happened. The Togus teamster
