throughout the coal regions, and
the result was the arresting
Of six Of the leading Molly
b. Yost, a Tamaqua policeman, who
was shot on the 9Th of July last, and
John Z. Jones, who was killed at

counsel for the Commonw ealth have
facts in their possession which impli-
cate a number of men throughout the
coal regions in the murder of mining
bosses during the last few years, and
other outrages. One of the three
prisoners In jail here who is charged
with the murder of John p. Jones
has made confession, and this, in con-
n%ection with other important evil
dence, has disclosed the names of
many prominent Molly Mdguires.
Other arrests will soon follow.
Many Of the secrets of the Molly
Mcguire Order are already in the
possession of General l.. Albright
and his associates, aud it is confident
ly believed that peace and order will
again reign in the coal regions.

white. Upon the dress of Mrs
Kretz, which had just been washed,
were stains Of blood. She said she
had scraped the floor at the request
of her husband that Simmons called
at the house on Tuesday night, and
they all had drink together, Sim
mons drink be ng made stronger
than those of the others, and when
be was supplied with liquor kretz
took a Ratchet and chopped his head
of, the act being witnessed by bis
little stepdaughter. Mrs. Krelz said
that she herself was then up stairs.
When Kreiz beard the body was
discovered he admitted his guilt,
and said be had done it because be
had found the victim in criminal H.
tercourse with his wife; but tuis
Mrs. Kretz denies. The murder
was no doubt committed for robbery,
as Simmons was always known TO
have money on his person. The
prisoner was found in possession of
Simmons watch, and his little girl
saws her father took SO and some
cents from the pockets of the murder
ed maa. Mrs. Kretz was taken 20

Burned at the STAKE

RocKDALE, TEXAS, Jan. Ell. NJ.
Baker, a young farmer of Bell county,
was recently murdered by Tom Will
Jams, a negro desperate, who was
duly arrested, tried, convicted, and
sentenced to be hanged tomorrow.
During the trial the court room was
crowded, and when sentence vas pro-
nounced, and the prisoner wasirOned
and taken back TO Jail, it was openly
threatened that be should be burned,
as banging was too good for him.
Yesterday a crowd gathered around
the Jail and demanded TO be admitted.
TIE Sheriff had gone home, leaving
the jail in the keeping of a deputy.
The doors were opened, and a dozen
mel entered. Williams was pointed
out to them, and be was taken aud
bound secure to the back of u horse.
The mob then mounted their horses
and rode off on the Bell county road
about two miles. Dismounting in a
patch Of woods by the roadside, they
bowed two mesquite saplings, fas.
tened them together, making a stiff
arch, to which they bound the neg,c
by q chain. His feet were made fast
to the underground, fagots were col
lected and piled under him and tber
set Cd fire. He begged piteeusly to
be spared, but his executioners knew
no mercy.
For nearly an hour his torture:
were continued, and the miserable
wretch's shrieks of agony were heard
more than a mile away. Wher
death came to bis relief every one
of his murderer's emptied the cham.
bers of his reyolveriuto the charred
body, and with a yell of Gendish sat
isfaction they mounted their horses
and sped away.

Horrible Murder Ola Man at BrOokIyn
for His Money.

New YORK, Jan. CIV. Sim
mons, of Deerley, Conn, for some
time employed in the wagon manu-
featuring establishment in Brooklyn,
has been missing since Thursday last.
This afternoon his head, partly wrap
ped in q piece of ne wspaper and sew
cred from the body, was found lying
between a lumber pile and fence in
that city. Physicians say that the
man was murdered at least twelve
hours previous to the head being
found, and that an hour had elaps> d
from the time of the murder till il
was severed from the body. The
police are now looking for the miss.
ing body and murderer.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Tbe detec-
tives were working busily today on
the murder case in which the head
Of VIM. W. Simmons was found ia
the sbipyard of John English on
Milton street. From the proximity
ofthe bead 10 the river it was thought
the body had been thrown into the
water. Inquiries were made at
places where Simmons was 10 the
habit Of visiting, but no person ac-
knOwledged having seen hin since
Saturday night. Among those with
whom the murdered man was most
intimate, aud TO whom the officers
looked for the most information
was Victor kretz, who was Known
also by the name of Address Tuchs.
He was a helper ia the same shop
as Simmons, and worked BY his side,
and was also believed to be an in
innate friend of the deceased. He
seemed to be uneasy under the ques-
tioning of the police, and pretended
to speak very poor English. He
told the detectives of Simmons being
in the habit of visiting some friends
in ~Greenpoint, but on making inqui-
ries this was found to be untrue,
ard was told by Kretz to mislead
the police. kretz was detained in
the police Office three hours, and
was afraid he was to be locked up as
a witness. The detectives did not
think kretz knew anything about the
murder, and he Was allowed to 60
home. Among Others interviewed
were the watchmen on the docks.
One was found who said be saw a
man answering the description OF
kretz down near the dock on Satur-
day morning and was quite positive
about his identity. The detectives
then supposed that if Kretz ~as not
the guilty man he knew something
about the murder, and they went to
his house at SO North Third street
and arrested him. On bis way to
the station house he purposely cut
bis hand. 1t bled freely, and be
kept rpDbing it on his pantaloons.
When this was observed an examiD-
alton was made of his clothing, which
reveeled g large spot of dried blood
on his paDta!oons. The detectives
then visited his house again, and
found a trunk locked and nailed to-
gether so tightly that it was opened
with great difficulty. In this they
found packed the arms and legs of
the murdered victim, and in a boiler
they foSnS the trunk of the body
skinned and cut Tp. The e%ntrails
bad been removed aud quioxiiEe pot
inside, so as to u speedy decom-
position. There had been o pool of
blood on the floor, but efforts had
been made to obliterate it by scrap
