THE CURSE OF THE COAL REGION.

LOCUST GAP, Pa, Sept. 19.-In the outlying
districts OF the Schuylkill, Lnzerne, Northumber-
land, Carbon, Lehigh, Wyoming and Lackawanna
regions the coal and iron police as well as mem
bers of the detective corps have discovered un-
evidence OF the existence of lodges
OF the notorious brotherhood Of Molie Maguires.
Centralia, Mount Carmel, Girardville, Tuscarora,
Coal Hill, Tamaqua, Locust Gap, Dark Corner,
Coal Ridge, Summit, and all patches about
Broad Top mountain from Mahoney City to
Ashland in one direction, and from Shenandoah
to Black creek and Quakake, have divisions OF
the oath -bouud organization, and regular meet
ings are secretly held in isolated mountain re-
treats. The feeling against the hungarian
laborers is intense. Yesterday the body OF one
of the Hungarian laborers employed upon the
Beach Creek, Clearfeld & Southwestern railway
was found near Clearfeld creek, Clearfeld
county. There were terrible stabs and shot
wounds upon him. 1t is known that party OF
miners drove him away from the coal country,
and it is presumed the man refused to leave the
country and was assassinated. A Hungarian
named George Unglevarilish was fatally shot at
Centralia. Who fired the shot is unknown,
though man named Lefkowitch was arrestef
and taken TO tho Bloomsbury Jail. Interviews
with Captain Anderson, OF the Shamokin coal
and iron police, Capt Hilliams, of the Schuylkill
corps, and Capt. r. j. Linden, superintendent OF
the Pennsylvania agency OF the Pinkerton
bureau, developes the fact that the statements
relative to the reorganization Of the Infamous
society are true. A number OF prominent
citizens, railroad operators and mine
bosses, have been threatened, and
their names placed Molliie Mcguire
death list, and their humiliation set down for
the near future. While there is no direct evil
Al EoI1s nit
recent murders, certain circumstances certainly
direct suspicion toward them, aud the recent
mysterious incendiary burnings of colliery prop
erty in different sections of the coal country
and attributed to the brotherhood.
THE REPORT DENIED.
PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Sept. ia careful investi-
CATION shows that the rumors OF Mollie Mcguire
organizations is entirely false and purely sensa-
tional.
A CHICAGO HANGING.
CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-Isaac Jacobsen was
hanged in the county jail here to-day, at three
minutes after noon. The prisoner passed q
quiet night, retiring at / O'Clock and sleeping
until g. when he arose and ate light breakfast.
He walked compOsedly TO the scaffold. No hitch
occurred in any Of the sheriff's arrangements.
The condemned mans neck was broken in the
fall.
The crime for which Jacobsen was hung oc.
Cured April 20. 1881. At O'Clock on the
morning OF that day he stepped quickly up to
George Bedel, his former employer and drawing
q revolver shot him in the head- His victim
died the following day. Bedell was proprietor
of q carpet beating establishment and jacobson
was in his employ, but was discharged on ac-
count OF drunkenness. When Bedell paid him
off there was dispute to the amount due,
jacobson claiming one dollar in addition to the
,ofd i'm 40
revolver, reappeared the next morning and COM
mtted the deed without any warning whatever
jacobson was a Finish sailor, and since his con-
yiction claims that he had been drinking heavily
and was not entirely responsible for his acts.
