MORE MOLLY MAGUIRE oUTRAGEs IN LU-
zERNE COUNTY.
PLYMOUTH, Pa, June 26.-From the
events that have transpired within the past
few days 1t is evident that the Molly Ma
guiree, who have been driven from other
portions of the coal regions, are rendezvous
ing in the northern part of Luzerne county.
The desperadoes have already inaugurated
their1carnival of crime, embracing assassi-
nations, robbery, and arson. Three brutal
murders of innocent and inoffensive miners
have been committed. All of these crimes
have been perpetrated almost within the
corporate limits Of the cities of Pittston and
Scranton.
ASSASSINATION AT "sHANTY HILL"
The assassination Of John Timlin, an ex>
alderman, in the streets, at F" Shanty Hill,
on the outskirts of Scranton, creates much
excitement The murderer, Michael Burk,
notorious Molly, has not been apprehended
as yet. ..
GOLFERS THREATENED.
Some colliers employed at the works Of
G. P. Hutchinson & Co., who refused to
obey certain dictates of the Molly Maguires,
have been the recipients of diabolically em>
blazoned ":offin notices."
OPERATING AROUND NANT1coKE.
Nanticoke has always been sort Of resort
for some of the less hardened members Of
the murderous organization, and but few Of
tie outrages that have been consummated
elsewhere in the northern coal fields have
ever been attempted there. Recently, how
ever, the Mollies have commenced their ira
gical operations in that neighborhood. The
first sanguinary affair occurred last night
At late hour at the time mentioned party
of miners, who were returning from q pic.
mic, were attacked by crowd of dluuken
Mollies just outside the town.
DEATH OF A VICTIM.
The colliers were all more or less Injured
one Of them, Martin Mcintyre, receiving so
many stabs that he expired this morning.
Another miner, George W. Parrine was
SHOT AND THROWN INTO THE sUsQUEHANNA
RIVER.
Parrine lately came from Ohio, where he
had black-legged" at colIiery at Massi-
lon, and it is presumed that this made him
offensive to the Mollies of Luzerne county.
An attempt has also been made upon the
life of Matthew Parrine, a brother of the
murdered man. After the commission of
their crime the bandits crossed the Susque.
hanna river, and escaped to their haunts in
the mountains that have afforded them a
safe shelter for loag period.
FOUND DEAD ON THE RAILROAD.
Yesterday afternoon the body of an un"
known man, dressed in the garb of miner
was found upon the track Of the Lehigh and
Jusquehanna Railroad, and an examination
showed that the man had been the victim of
Molly Mcguire hatred, as in one of his
pockets was found one of the rude, but sug-
ges.ive, Ku-klux epistles that are sent to
obnoxious persons by the members of the
organization.
GUARDING THE COAL BREAKERS.
The gravest apprehensions are felt in re,
gard to the movements of the Mollies, and
not only are the coal-breakers in some OF
the districts carefully guarded to prevent
their demolition by the incendiary's brand,
but mine superintendents and bosses are
provided with strongly armed body guard.
IN coLuMs1A AND NORTHUMBERLAND.
The Columbia andN county
Mollies, who have made no predatory in
cursions for quite length Of time, appear
to be becoming restless again, although up
to the present time no actual law-breaking
has been induleed in at any point. Dele
gates from those regions attended meeting
of the brotherhood near Locust Gap Junc>
tion, the former home of Pat Hester, the
now doomed "King of the Molly Maguires,"
ON Sunday morning last, and it is judged
from this that preparations are being made
for some kind Of brigandage. Some out.
lawry has been committed in the mountain
districts adjacent to shamokin, the most
fragrant, however, being the killing of
Dooley Ragap, who some time ago black
legged at the Luke Fiddler Mine of the
Mineral Run Mining and Railroad Company.
