party of miners tried to drive him away
from the coal country, and it is presumed

ice, Capt. Williams, Of the Skuylkill corps,
and Capt. Linden, Superintendent of the

and their names placed on the Mollie Ma
CURES death list, their killing being set
down for the near future. While th re
is no direct evidence to connect the Mol.

certain circumstances pointing to them
as guilty. The recent mysterious incen-
diary burning of cOlliery property in diff
terent sections of the country is also at

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Sept. 19.-Nothing is
known here of the reorganization of the
Mollie Maguires as intimated in the

wives and sisters of the striking coal
miners have thoroughly organized to the
number of 200 and we'll equipped with
tin pans will visit the mines every morn
ing and endeavor to persuade Don-union
men to join the strike. Suit has been
brought against three of the women for
conspiracy and one for assault. The de-
PENDANTS have engaged counsel, but it is
probable that compromise will be
effected.
THE SUITS WITHDRAWN.
COAL CENTRE, Sept. 19, II P. M.-Suits
against the women have since been with
drawn on condition that the women keep
the peace in the future and do not inter-

leave the strike wholly to the men, as
they have no desire to follow their hus-
bands to Jail.
