MENTS.
New York Tribune, July 81.

An order was filed in the County
Clerks office on the appeal of three suits,
of Gen. Winfield S. Hancock, Almira
Hancock and Ada f. Hancock, against
George W. Rand, John H. Rand and
Thomas b. Rand. prUpretors Of the ST..
Cloud Hotel. The three suits grew out
of the same circumStance-the alleged
robbery of Gen. Hancock and his family
while occupying rooms at the st. Cloud
hotel. In his suit General Hancock
claimed that property worth Sl42.24 had
been stolen from his rooms ON January
IA, 1874.
This property included First Arm,
Corps badge set with diamonds; a gold
Masonic badge; lump of native gold; a
gold badge, ON. y. l.. l.. U. S. a badge
of the Society of the Army of the Poto-
mac. Mrs. Hancock estimated her loss
at $2,952, including a diamond cross
worth $3.50; diamond earrings, $3.50; dla-
mond breastpln, 1915, and bracelets
worth $500. The loss of Miss Ada E.
Hancock, who has since died, was esti-
mated at Sl43 %, the most valuable item
being gold watch and chain.
The case was irled before II. Il. Aver
Ill as referee.
1t happened in the evidence before
him that General Hancock hired rooms
In the hotel for himself and family on
November IL, 1873, at 1886 amonth wi h
meals, or at $3.50 month without meals
as he should prefer. The first month he
adopted the former me hod afterw ards
he took his meals at the hotel restaurant
la carte. The rooms occupied by him
were in house adjoining the hotel and
used as part of Il. But no notice of the
keeping of a safe in the office for the
protection of jewelry was posted in the
Ooms.
The referee held in each of the three
cases that the plaintiff was not legally q

was kidnapped BY four men belonging

in Somerset county, Pa, has been found,
and Yesterday s. G. Peters, A. u. Davis,
II. Marks, and Clark Wise, the men
charged with the crime, had nearing
before Judge Hunton in GreepsDiTg;;
Miss Burkett was put on the stare anu
was examined by Congressman Cotroth,
who acted as the girls counsel. IS
Burketu said that she was at the snow
a Shanksville on Tuesday, the 18th
inst; at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Wen
the show was out, she started to 60
home; a Snowman met her by the
church and asked her to 60 back; she
told him she did not want to 60 bacsS; he
then took hold OF her aud dragged her
back; she was at the show ill night; she
then started TO 60 home with some
neighbors; at the door she was met
again by several showmen; she was
carried back, thrown dowo, and they all
assaulted her; they afterwards put her
in the ticket wagon and took her to
Jenner Cross Roads, and on the way
one of them, who stayed In the wagon
with her, assaulted her al Jenner; she
tried to get away from them, but was
prevented; five of them took her to the
woods and again saulted her; after
this she has no recollection of anything
that happened; did not know that she
was at Ligonier or how she got there;
did not know how she back to Somerset.
Here the prosecution asked postpone
ment OF the hearing on account of the
sad condition of the witness. Mr..
Cofroth, in asking postponement, said
that this was one of The most heinous
and revolving crimes ever perpetrated
After remarks by counsel for the de-
fense, the Judge continued the case un
til the 30th of July.
Rumors were rife yesterday that thu
girl was found dead in Indiana county
1t appears that after the prisone,1
found her father was after her at Ligonie
they took her across the mountain, an,
she found her way to Somerset in a mos
deplorable condition. At some place.
she was seen wandering along the roaC
scattering sand or going listlessly
through fields. She at last fell into
kind hands, who took her TO Somerset
and sent her home. She has no remem-
brance of what happened to her or what
was done to her after she was put in a
tent at Jenner Cross Roads. The pri-
soners were remanded iuto the custody
Vi the Sheriff. The girl recognized each ot
the four men in custody as the parties
whom she saw with Ike show, and who
had assaulted her. The case will be
ferreted TO the bot ON. Miss DrIkett is
a pretty little country girl and will be
fourteen years old in December. She
was plainly dressed, but seemed not to
be III condition to give her testimony.
She gave her account in a low, weak
voice. The most intense indignation
prevails in Greensburg, and threats oi
lynching the offenders are freely made.

Carl Schurz, who has just delivered
speech at Indianapolis about the Re-
publican party, for consideration of
5000 or thereabouts, delivered another
speech about the Republican party at
indianapolis few years ago, in which
he said
elias it fought against corruption ?
No. The party, in ninety-nine out of
one hundred cases, has shielded fraud
and corruption. A system of white

MOLLY MAGUIREs AGAIN AT WORK.
TAMAQUA, Pa, July 22.-Un-
doubted evidence of the return Of
Molly Maguirism is at hand in the
brutal murder of James Woods at
Bull Run last night. Great excite
ment reigns. Woods had been to
Summit Hill during Wednesday to
attend a funeral, and was returning
home at sundown by way of the old
road by Forster Tunnel, when mask.
ed men met him and committed the
deed. Above Bull Run village
about one hundred yards is a ledge
OF rock running even with the road
and here, under the shodow of some
stunted trees, the Mollies struck
their victim. The remains, as view.

Great clots of blood fully seven
yards off from where Woods lay
show how he struggled His fore
head was broken in by some blunt
instrument. The rest of the body
was terribly cut and bruised. 1t lay
over ledge Of rocks as if placed
there.
Wood was an engineer and ran a
stationary engine for the Lebigh Goa
and Navigation Company. He was gen
orally steady and quiet. Revenge Is
supposed to have been the motive fol
the deed. He had money with bin, a.
some was found near by. He was sixty
years old. II seems as il we are to have
a reign of Mollylsm over again. The
past few days their disorders and acts Of
violence in Coaldale have been simply
fiightful. Shank Gallagher, a noiorIou,
character, returned recently from his
retreat, and tie Maguires are as deep in
their orgies as ever. Bull Run and
Gearytown are small villages IN Penthel
Creek Valley, just over from here, and
with Coaldale, Lansford, and Summit
Hill, were great Molly places. Oui
people are greatly excited and talk of a
vigilance committee once more.
