Implicated, he Says, in the Murder of Alex
ander Rea,

After Il period of 80 years it appears
probable that another one of the mur-
derers Of Alexander Rae may be brought
to justice. Sheriff Roland BeddalI, Of
SchuylkiI county, on Tuesday, received
a telegram from Stout's mountain, Ala
bama. asking whether one exit Kanie,
alias John Dongan, was wanted IN that
county for the murder Of Rae"
Dongan. it is said, has confessed that
he assisted in he murder. which took
place aeaf Gentaa,ia in the reign of the
Molly Maguires. Patrick Hester, leader
of the gang and Dooley and McHugh,
confederatgs, were tried and hanged at
BIoomsburg. Requisition papers will
no doubt be made out and the self con
fessed murderer be brought north for
trial.
Alexander Rae, whose family are
among the most prominent residents of
DanviIe, in 1868 was superintendent Of
the Bells CoIliery, near CeDtraia. One
October morning he started to drive
from PottsviIle to the coIliery for the
purpose of paying the men. When half
way, as his horse was drinking from a
trough he was shot at from ambush and
