White Caps in Pennsylvania.

-
PrrTsnURe, December l9.-Certain district:
in Washington county and Moon township.
Allegheny county, are Wild over an alleged
White Cap notice posted at a point in the
latter township some time during last night
The notice was a revelation to the inhaitants
as it was never known that the White Car
organization extended to this quarter Of
Pennsylvania. That It has an existence in
Western Pennsylvania, however. seems to be
a fact, if credence eau be placed in the story
ola farmer who came from the South end Of
the county to the South Side Market to-day.
This man, who came in with a load Of pro-
duce, told tho correspondent Of The Tine
his story.
Il was passing through Green Tree early
this morning, said he, and while talking
to one of the inhabitants OF the place, he re-
marked that q mar named Robinson had re-
ceived the following notice 10 leave the
country:
WILLIAM RoBIxsoS You are hereby noti-
fed 20 leave the county on account Of your
treatment OF the boy Fusion or you will be
dealt With according 70 the practice Of the
WmrE Cars.
The notice grew out Of the desertion by
Robinson of Fusion, who is nov at the
Twenty eighth ward station. Hecannot tell
just where the man Robinson lives. but says
that last Saturday he brought him to town,
took him to Gnsky's store, on Market street,
and said 4Wilie, ! don't van you any
longer at my place. You need a hat here's
a dollar and go in there and get it, When
the boy came out Robinson was gone. When
inson he said he had been taken from an or
phan asylum, but could not tell where it was
located. Some strange developments may
vet follow.
