Dennis DonneIIy Hanged.

Dennis Donnelly, convicted last Novem-
Der Of the murder of Thomas Sanger, mine
boss at Heaton'S Raven Run Colliery, was
hanged Tuesday morning at half-past tel, lin
the Jail yard at Pottsville. The execution
was more private than that of any of the
Mollies previously hanged, only few
physicians, coal and iron police, the jury and
representatives of the local press being pres
ent. The prisoner was visited Monday night
by Right Rev. Bishop Shanahan, of Harris
burg, who administered confirmation, which
gave rise to runor that confession had
been made. Donnelly passed q quiet and
restful night, retiring at about eleven, and
arose at five Tuesday morning. At seven he
was visited by Fathers Gallagher and Bren-
nan, wis remained with him until his
death. The town was free from excitement,
very few people arriving in the morning
trains, and nothing indicated the judicial
tragedy but the collection Of curiotis crowd
around the prison entrance, which was
strongly guarded by Coal and Iron police.
Within the walls all the preparations had
been made at an early hour. The gallows
was erected on q spot at the eastern end of
the yard, where six Molies expiated their
crimes year ago. Before it were gathered
small party composed principally of physi-
clans and newspaper men. At 1920 pro-
cession composed of Sheriff Mats and Ward
en- King, the prisoner, supported by the two
Priests and followed by the jury of IL men,
emerged from the door of the prison and
walked slowly down the pavement to the
gallows. Donnelly repeated the prayers as
dictated by his spiritual advisers and mount
ed the gallows with firm tread. As he
stood on the fatal trap he passionately kiss
ed crucifX which hung from string
around his neck, until the Deputy Sheriff
pinioned his arms and the cap was drawn
over his head. In eight minutes life was
extinct. After hanging for fifteen minutes
the body was taken down and removed to
the depot, where special train provided by
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Co.
conveyed it to Girardville for nterment.
The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon.

Nearly all the companies dre steadily les

expects TO move some 100000 tons of coal
this month, which is some little in excess of
its allotment, and so promising is its market

that from $4,000 to 10000 tons will have 10

On Monday night, Policeman Meyer ar.
rested NJ. M. Landy at his house and he Was
taken to Pottsvlle with the next morning
train, and held to bail in 81 800, and arrived
home again, early in the evening. Mr.
Landy considers the whole affair as piece
of political persecution, and his worst enc
mics must allow that there are some things
very inexplicable connected with the matter,
which makes two sides to the question.
Time may unravel the whole affair and put
things in shape that will shed light upon
it, different TO what has been seen in the
confusion and excitement that has prevailed
during the late few days.-ParGer'S Ma

Death Of Vincent Farr.

Death OF Vincent Farr.
This highly respected colored man died at his
residence Sunday morning, after lingering ILL
ness from Consumption.
Vincent Y6es good man.-honcst, quiet in
dustriouse and obliging-and commanded the
confidence and respect of the whole community.
BY industry and economy he purchased very
pleasant home which be had improved and maic
comfortqble.; but just as he was about to reap
profits Fl ha fine orchard and garden, he was
stricken down by sickness, and Sbsing assured
that his labor of life was nearly ended, he con-
cludel to sell it aud convert i. into money for
the good of his children.
The death of few men, white colored,
in this community, would hardly cause more
sorrow and regret thanswas shown by the large
assembly of the most respectable citizens, of
both races at his funeral. lie leaves five hclp-
less orphan children-ther mother having died
about two years before.
