JACK THE RIPPER"
The Pennsylvania Mollie Maguires al
Still Active

The Pennsylvania Mollie Maguires are
Still Active.
PHGNIXvILLE pa February Sth.-That
the notorious organization known as the
Mollie Maguires is still in existence is be-
lieved by the authorities of Chester county,
who have reason to suspect that Patrick
Hagney, the special officer of the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad, who was shot
Sunday morning in this town, was muir
dered at the instigation of that society.
When the Chief of Police of Pnonixville
began the investigation of the circum-
stances connected with the shooting of
Hagney, he found a large piece of paper
tackled to wheelbarrow few feet away
from the spot where the murdered man had
been standing when he was shot.
On the paper, in large letters, was the
heading, Death to Traitors" and stating
in effect that the Mollie Maguires always
removed their enemies, even if murder had
to be resorted to.
1t also stated that when the opportunity
was presented two local policeman, 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 possession of Adolphus Bawgano,
Chief Engineer and Vice-President of the
Phoenix Bridge Company. 1t is guarded as
carefully as jewel of incalculable value,
and It is impossible to procure even copy
of it. Coroner Ashbridge, of Philadelphia.
has been trying to secure it, but has not
been successful.

MONTANA POLITICS.

1hc bCAnOcIaiS Oub thO AhC-
publicans are Exceedingly "Foxy."
HELENA (Mont.), February Sth.-The
Republicans won the day in the Senate.
Sheriff Parker who had Senator Becker in
charge, was arrested to-day when the train
pulled into Bozeman on charge of kid
mapping. He was held there until the de-
parture of the train and the Republicans
despaired of getting him in time to ac-
complish The business. The charge of kid
MAPPING was dismissed. A special train was
chartered and the Sheriff arrived with the
Senator at 1880. The Senate then got
down to business and passed the appropri-
alton bills.
Becker did not say single word, but sat
through the proceedings without a MUIR
muir. The object of the Senate in recog-
nizing the Republican House, has ac-
complished, it is thought, bearing on
the validity of the United States Senators
elected by the Republicans.
Excitement was at fever heat for a
while, but subsidized without acts of vio-
lence. The Republicans are rejoicing.

IT ENDED IN A TRAGEDY.
Sad Ending of an Attempt at Parlor
Legerdemain.


WOLF CREEK (Tenn.) February 8th.-
Jesse Hensen, boy of II, of this place, lies
at the point of death from cut inflicted by
himself.
Some time ago Hensen and his cousin,
Sam Herbert, also young lad, saw an ad-
vertisement in local paper stating that the
advertiser would teach any one parlor
magic The boys replied to the advertise
ment and short time afterward received
printed instructions telling them, among
other things, how to fire loaded rifle at q
confederate standing only few PAGES
away.
The boys practiced the trick until they
thought they had it perfectly and then gave
an exhibition to some of their friends. In
loading the rifle Hensen put in too heavy
a charge of powder, and when he fred at
Herbert the unfortunate boy fell to the
floor dead.
As soon as Hensen realized the awful re-
suit of his trick he rushed up stairs, seized
q razor and cut his own throat. 1t is doubt
full if he can recover.

WASHINGTON, February SHIT had been
arranged that Secretary Tracy would take
a trip down the river as far as the salt water

While the Secretary continues to improve
physically, the effect on his mind of the
shock he recently underwent is becoming
more pronounced, and he would undoubt-
eddy be greatly benefited by such trip as
the one proposed. Should the weather
prove propitious the trip will probably be
made early next week.

Origin of Bird Song.

The origin of bird song is described
by an English writer as follows: Bird
song originated in a cry produced by
bodily contortion. This cry was devel-
oped by use in times of danger 1t then
became a warning-note that was elabor-
ated into a call-note. This note was re-
peated by males in varied tone and
pitch and several influences tended TO
make il a reprod uction of surrounding
persistent sounds. The call-notes were
repeated by the males to the females,
and in this manner arbitrary phrases
were constructed. Further efforts on
the part Of the males induced greater
variety. which took the form of imita-
tion Of other sounds"
