.AUBURNDAIE.

There was fatal accident occ urred
in the mill yard of r. Conner & Co.
a few days ago. While Willie Kennedy
was unloading some logs he was caught
by log striking him in the abdomen,
killing him almost instantly. He only
lived about twenty minutes after the
accident He was young man not
more than 10 years of age had been
IN the employ of r. Connor & Co.
about three years driving team. He
was always jeyial and happy, and was
great favorite with "the boys" The
scene among the large crowd of men
that gathered around the body, will
not soon be forgotten. A stranger
would not be able to tell who were
his near relatives by the grief express
ed. Strong men bowed their heads
and wept like children. His mother
who is widow has the sympathy of
the whole community. She was away
from home at the time watching at
the death bed of her mother. Just
as the remains of her son was taken
to the depot for removal, the family
received dispatch from her, stating
that her mother was dead. The
two deaths coming onto her 50 sudden
ly was enough to break her down
altogether, but with true christian
resignation and strong in the faith of
her Father she tried to brace I'D and
comfort her mourning family.

MOLIIE MAGUIRES IN
COLORADO.

DISPATCHES from Silver Cliff Col
orado, announce that serious troubles
are imminent in the Custer County
mines from the Mollis Maguires, who
have threatened the lives of men in
charge d'afairs at the minss, for
discharging about 60 men who were
discovered stealing ore from the COM
pany. Mr.. Perkins the superinten-
dent who discharged the men was
notified by the organization of the
miners to reiRstate the discharged
miners. This Mr.. Perkins refused to
do. The MolHes then drew up a
series of running charges against Mr..
Perkins and sent them to the New
York office. The company did not
superintendent Then the assassin
alton of Mr. Perkins was determined
upon by the Mollies He was shot at
FIVE times and assaulted twice during
the month of March. Upon the &C.
eassion of one of the assaults he
discharged his pistol through the
pocket of his ulster, and seriously
wounded one of the thugs.
As the trouble grew day by day the
gamblers and the thieves of the camp,
and few misguided business men,
advocated tbe cause Of the discharged
Mollies. It was boldly asserted that
the life of Mr. Perkins would only
atone for the insult to the Mollies.
Threats of violence were also ut tered
against such members of the camp
who sustained Superintendent Perk-
ms. Saturday afternoon a meeting of
the citizens was held The alarming
condition of affairs was carefully can
vassed, and it was unanimously de-
cided that in order to save Querida
and the lives of many reputable men,
the rogues and Mollie Maguires must
60. A list was prepared of the
residents and ninety persons under
suspicion were selected as examples.
They were ordered to leave immediate
ly, the notices being served on them
by armed citizens and those who failed
to leave were taken in custody.
Excitement is running rife and the
consequences cannot be foreseen. At
Rosita giant powder was fred in the
streets and citizens armed with rifles
went to Querida and aided the citizens
committee in capturing those who
would net leave their homes as per
order. Bloodshed was anticipated.
There was considerable excitement at
Silver Cliff Thursday night and much
speculation was rife as to what would
be done with the Mollies in custody.
An unauthenticated rumor on Friday
morning stated that seven men were
lynched in Querida, the night previous.

A Significant Declaration.

Mr.. John w. Carroll, n delegate from the
Second District in the Republican conven-
ton, on Tuesday, spoke truthfully when he
said that "if the colored vote were to drop off
the Republican party would be very small
matter" The idea he advanced to save his
party was novel one. He declared that in
case of Republican success taxes must be in
creased, for the benefit of the colored schools,
or larger portion of the school fund set
apart for this purpose.
There are few Democratic tax payers,
and some Republicans, too, left in Hartford
county who are not so vitality interested in
the perpetuity of the Republican party as to
be willing to be taxed for its political sup
port, particularly in the face of the fact that
everybody is willing and anxious to see the
colored schools amply and literally provided
for, which in Democratic Maryland, we are
happy to say, is the case. But no unfair dis
elimination at the expense ofthe people, for
the benefit of the Republican party, will be
borne
