k0LLIE MAGURIRES AT WORK.

A Recent Murder in Pennsylvania the
Work of the Notorious Gang.
PHGN1XvIILE. Pa, Feb. 8.-That the
notorious organization known as the
Mollie Maguires is still in existence is
belle yed by the authorities of Chester
County, who have reason to suspect
that Patrick Hagney. the special officer
of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad, who was shot last SUM-
day morning in this town, was
murdered at the instigation Of
that society. The Reading Company
has officers working on the clue, which,
1t is thought, may lead to the unearth-
ing OF the famous organization which
infested the Pennsylvania coal regions
few years ago. or at least result in the
discovery OF society formed for SINH
lar purposes.
When Chief of Police Joseph Moore, of
Ih9nlxvllle, began an investigation of
the circumstances connected with the
shooting of Hagnev, he found large
piece OF paper tackled to wheelbarrow
fe" feet away from the spot where the
murdered man had been standing when
he Was shot. On the paper, in large let
tiers. was the heading, death to Trait
ors, and stating in effect that the Mollie
Magulres always removed their enc
mics, even if murder had to be resorted
to. 1t also stated that when the oppor-
tunlty was presented, two local police
men named Dennis Kelly and John
Kane would share the same fate as
Hagney. The letter was signed "Jack
the Ripper" This paper is now in the
possession of Adolphus Banzano. the
chief engineer and vice president of the
Phoenix Bridge Company. 1t is guard
ed as carefully as jewel of great value,
and it is impossible to receive even a
copy of it. Coroner Ashbrjdge, of Phil
adelphla has been trying to secure it,

A dispatch of the 8th from Helena,
Mont, says: Sheriff Parker, who is on
his way to Helena with Senator Becker,
by the sheriff of Gallatin County, on the
charge of kidnapping the senator. He
waived examination and was placed
under bonds. AS the matter now
STANDS, Becker is at Bozeman with the
sheriff, and unless special is employed
he will net reach Helena before to-
morrow.
Senator Becker was brought here on
special train tonight At Bozeman
four men attempted to take the prison
er away, but were unsuccessful. Beck
er was brought into the Senate, which
was in session, and the question wheth-
er or not he should be fined for con-
tempt is now being considered by the
committee on privileges and elections.
The presence of Becker makes quo
rum, and the Senate will probably sit
all night and pass laws, as it is expected
other Democratic absentees will be pres
ent Monday to block the proceedings.
The Republican House and Senate
were in session until 2:30 on the morn
ing of the 9th, and passed eight appro-
priation bills. Becker, the Democratic

A Railroad Buried Under Many Feet of
Earth.
ASHLAND, Ore, Feb. IA report
reached here late last night, from Glen
dale, of an immense slide on the Oregon
q California Railroad, half mile south
of the west fork, in Cow Creek canyon.
The slide came from high mountain
down to the bottom Of the canyon, a
distance Of 800 or 1000 feet, covering
the track and filling the canyon. The
report says trees are standing on the
slide the same as they were when it
started from the summit The water
backed up in the canyon for distan ce
OF three miles, is 500 feet wide and
from so to IS feet deep. Tunnel three
is completely buried in water. The
creek is trying to cut through the slide,
but the earth is jammed in so tight that
SO far 1t has not given away. Telegraph
lnemen built raft yesterday, and will
try to get line across the lake that has
been formed.
The extent Of the damage to the rail-
road between here and Roseburg, $50
miles north of here, cannot be esti-
mated even approximately, but is very
heavy. The railroad from Grants Pass
to Roseb burg is reported one continual
ton OF slides. The streams all over
Southern Oregon are reported as high,
1t not higher, than in 1861.

New YORK, Feb. Gen. Isaac s. Cat
lin has arrived home from Washington.
In answer to question as to the posi-
bility of Secretary Tracy retiring to
private life because of his bereavement,
Gen. Catlin replied: There is no prob
ability, whatever, that Secretary Tracy
will retire from public life. OF
course he is greatly shattered, and
it will take long time to
bring him around, but he will persevere
in his life's work. He is not only suffer
ing from mental shock, but the inhala
ton Of smoke has affected him physic-
ally. In the supreme moment OF his
suffering he said that if be could not go
on with the work which he had begun
in the Navy Department he could not
live. Then all his friends, including
President Harrison, j. S. T. Stranahan,
and Gen. James Jourdan have advised
him tn 1t every consideration demands
that he stay at his post, and he will. AT
time like this occupation for his mind
will be his salvation"
The General said that the matter of
the final disposition of the remains of
Mrs. Tracy and Miss Mary F. Tracy was
still under consideration, and the final
interment would be either at Green
wood Or at Owego, N. Y.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE work of remov-
ing the bodies Of the miners who lost
their lives by the explosion in the
colliery at Abersychan yesterday, is
being carried on as rapidly as possible.
The ventilation Of the pit has been
restored, and this greatly facili.
tates the efforts of the work
ers. a very pathetic incident in
the work of rescue was the finding of
the bodies of father and his five sons
lying in group. They had not been
burned at all and they appeared to be
calmly sleeping. All of them had
died from suHocation. Several of
the men who had volunteered
for the work of rescue were
made sick by handling the burned
bodies, and were obliged to come to the
surface. One hundred and seventy
bodies have thus far been taken from
the pit. and it is believed that the total
number of persons killed will reach 100.
