A TERROR HHOT.
Another Unlontown Sensation—A Motile
Maguire's End.
Uniontown, March 21.—John Kane, the
Mollle Maguire who became famous In con
nection with the murder of Maurice Healy
at Dunbar, In June, 1881, was shot aud
killed thia evening by F.IC. Keighly, super
intendent of the Youngstown Coke Works
at Stumbaugh, four miles north of Union
town. There has been trouble at these
works for several weeks. About the first
of February, owing to the lull in the coke
trade, a reduction of about 10 pci cent was
ordered in the wages of the employes.
Under the influence of Kane and other
leaders, the men refused to work, and a
strike was ordered. They had a regular or
ganization, and notices were sent, to Super
intendent Keighly, signed by John Kane,
president, stating that no work would be
done at the reduced figures.
After au idleness of a few weeks the cdin
, who went
to work last Friday. Kane set about to de
feat this scheme, and at once organized a
Jorce of meu, with which, on 8unday last,
he drove the new diggers out of the pits.
Determined to be rid of those obstruction
ists, Superintendent Keighly served notice
all the old miners to vacate the compa
ny's houses, with a view of filling them with
men.
Last Saturday was pay-dav, and in order
to insure payment of rent Keighly withheld
$0 wages, which was one month's rent.
This greatly enraged Kane, and to ge
him he was paid the full amount. Tl
not satisfy him, and he threatened violence
to Keighly, writing letters and otherwise
annoying him. To-day Kane visited Union
town and got very drunk. He was accom
panied by Buck Collins, his almost con
stant companion. Kane went into an open
court, from whence he had to be removed.
He make threats against Congressman
Charles E. Boyle, who proaecuted the
Healey murderers. He then went to the
Sheriff's residence and told the family that
he had been there with them once, and
would likely soon be back with them. He
remained In town till this evening, return
ing to the works nt 5 o'clock.
Arriving at Slambaugh he entered the
company's store aud began to abuse Keighly.
The latter did not want any difficulty, but
having been advised of the dangerous char
acter of Kane, had armed himself for the
emergency. Mrs. Keighly rushed in, fear
ing her husband would get into trouble with
the angry Mollle. 8he remained a few
minutes, and had just left again for the
house when she heard four pistol shots.
Going back she found her husband had
Kane through the body.
Superintendent Keighley jumped
horse and hastened to Uniontown, where
he gave himself up and Is now in the hands
of the 8heriff. He is under the advice oi
his counsel and refuses to talk, further than
to say that he had to kill Kane in self-de
fense. Several parties were In the store and
witnessed the shooting. Among these were
Mr. Romesburg and M. B. Pope.
It is alleged that when Kane went into the
store he began to renew the trouble about
the wages, the house and the new men.
Keighly told him to go away, but Kane
followed him up until the Superintendent
was backed Into the corner. Here Kane
made u motion as if to get a revolver from
his pocket, whereupon Keighly drew a 38
calibre Smith and Wesson and fired four
shots in quick succession, all taking effect
in the body, and two of them passing into
the. abdomen and penetrating to the back.
Buck Collins swears that if he had been
present at the time of the tragedy there
would have been a double murder.
Superintendent Fred Keighly
years old, a quiet and inoffensiv
was never before known to be in trouble.
He Is a native of England, but came to this
country several years ago with his parents,
who now live at Coalsbury, near Youngs
town, Ohio. He has a wife and three little
children, who have Just been brought to
town.
John Kane has been somewhat of a terror
in these regions. He is a leader in the
Mollle Maguire order i^nd was supposed to
know all about the Healy murder. He lay
injailjiere from August to January, but
when the Commonwealth failed to convict
Young McFarland, Kane Was released. He
Is about 40 years old and has a wife and
several little children In destitute circum
stances. It is feared that some of the miners
will inaugurate.an outbreak. The works
to-night are under the protection of a strong
guard.

[Special correspondence of the Gazette, j
Dover, March 22.—Time passes, the ses

the new charter of the city of Wilmington is
not ready for reporting to the House. The
Legislative Committee of Council has been
here almost every week, and Solicitor
Turner has been around all the time, but
the new act of incorporation has made slow
progress indeed. It is a tedious task at
best. The Municipal Corporation Com
mittee, assisted by Speaker Bates, is giving
all the time to the bill that can possibly be
spared, and the hope is now entertained
that it will be able to report it to the House
about next Tuesday,
will be fired in and the fun will
It is the idea oi Mr. Bates to have the sug
gested amendments to the bill made In the
committee as lar as possible.
The Legislative Committee of the Board
of Education—Messrs. Morrow, Baird %nd
Willey.—has met Council's committee here
and a conference has taken place over the
differences between the two bodies in what
they ask for. The Board asks for >80,000
for the purposes of running the schools and
$20,000 for new school houses, furniture,
heating apparatus, etc., and also au increase
of five per cent, each succeeding year
the $80,000. Council only wants to give
increase of three per cent, and the question
will be submitted to Council to-night. At
the same time the Legislative Committee
will lay before Council the proposition to

for $00,000, the agreement

which subject
was reached here yesterday as promptly and
exclusively tclelegraphed to Tiie Gazette.
Around other matters connected with the
charter hangs bewildering doubt. In order
to be prepared for the contingent of the de
feat of the charter notice was giveu of over
half a dozen bills to-day, which can be used
for certain legislative provisions which
absolutely necessary. An amendment will
be offered depriving the Mayor of all magis
terial powers, preventing tlie justices of the
peace from hearing cases of violation of city
ordinances and vesting the power of adjudi
cation of ail city cases in a police magis
trate, whose salary is to be about $1,500 a
year. The office of* President of City Coun

Mr. Conrad's term, and the

would send me a Singer machine on trial
and that 1 should use it six weeks. He said
he would take my old machine as part pay

to be a good oue, but after trying it for six
weeks I came to the conclusion that 1 was
as well off with my old Howe, and told him.
He then took the Singer a wav and I did not
see him for some time.
Tlie latter part of

The difference between tlie two machines was

which bled freely. My daughter and I both
put our arms through the machine works
and the men dragged us around tbe room.
In the struggle ray arms were badly bruised.
I screamed murder. As soon as 1 did that
Grlmshaw ran out of the back door, but the
still held on to the machine. I
continued screaming, when he also went
away. My daughter has been sick ever
since from fright and ray arms and shoul

The Mayor questioned her with reference
to a contract that the defence offered; but
she denied having signed any agreement
whatever, stating that she could not write
and that no agreement had been made other
than a verbal oue.
Mrs. Mount's daughter's testimony
substantially the same as her mother's,ouly
differing with reference to to the agreement.
The agent had given her the contract to
sigu, and she had done so, "as a matter of
form," as he stated, but she did uot sign
her mother's maiden name, which was Yar
nall.
The defence claimed there was no assault
aud that the men had not laid violent bauds
upon, the women, but they had become
bruised in bolding on to themaebiue.
Harry Emmons, Esq., conducted the de
fense and cross-questioned Mrs. Mount aud
her daughter very closely. He rested his
agreement signed by
the daughter, which allowed the company
to take back the machine, "forcibly If
necessary," if not settled for at the time
agreed.
The Mayor reserved his decision, thiukjug
the case was more thau a simple assault,
