Captain Linden?The Nemesis of

Smbxaxdoah, Pa., Juno 18, 187T.
I took a little run np to this place yesterday, lor tbo

Quartre-Braa. Sbrnudoali la In tbe very heart of tbe
?oal regions. Apart from Pottsvllle thero are oo ly two
Dr three towns IB 8cbuylkill county which exceed it la
population, and nono surpass It in enterprise, Industry
and thrift. And in the past it hii8 been not only tbe
centre of the coal mining Interest bat ?m, hi feet, the
headquarters ef the "Molly Magairea" It was for this
reason that McKonna chose it as bis base of operations
In anmasklug this wicked organization, aud no bolter
leld can be obtained from which to review that
iplcndld acblovcment. Tno dotective did not
tdopt It as hie home, however, without a com
plcio rccnnDols-anco of all its approaches. The
whole region from PotUvllle to Mlnersville, Oordou
?nd Krackville, and from Tainaqua to Mahanoy Plane,
Mahanoy Ulty and Uirardville waa previously explored
and tbe leading spirits of all these localities "spoiled"
by the acute detectiro. Evon Deloro he could begin
to bo useful to his employers It was uocessary that lie
ibould know the ground and mako the personal ae
lualntanoe of tbe tuen who made it more -'dark and
Hoody" even than the savages mude tbe neighboring
ralley ol tbo Wyoming. To do all ibis auccessluily
required a rare combination of qualitios?great buoy
tnoy of spirits which would enable blm to dance and
Hug upon any occasion; tho skHl ami courage which
would help him to wiu in a fight if nccoasary;
?octal qualitlea bo extraordinary that rough, rude men
would never tire of tils society; iho ability to
Irink deep and long; a great renditions of
repartee and other uiontul resources oven more ueces
lary; and above all an assumed individuality tbat
would defy any amount of Investigation aud commend
him by Its completeness and perfection. When
McPurlan, the dotective, stepped from Hie cars at Port
Clinton, the transformation was as groat as that of the
tuneful cicada, whioh ia now making the woods re
tonant, which ceates to be a grub and bocoaios a bar

but McKenna, tbe unllodged "JJolly."

Mclwenaa cannot be said to have begun operations
until be stopped Into Pat Dormer's saloon at l'oltsville.
Pat, be had been told, was "a captain of theSlee|>erst"
uid tho company which assembled there he had been
liven to understand was seloct "Molly Maguiro" so
.seiiy. lie came upon It without announcement or
introduction. As he stood bofore the house
ho board the souuds of revelry within,
and In tbe strain* of tbe discordant violin
he recognized an air to which be had danced many a
iig on the "ould sod." His mind was uiade up In an
Instant, and ho had scarcely crossed the threshold be
tore be struck aa attrtude, and, without lurther pre.
(Ode, began his best Irish breakdown to tho lively tuao
?t the "Dovtl's Dream." He came as an apparition,
tut to his agile sbutUiug and his grotesque but not un
graceful gesticulations ho owed It that tho tactlos of
Herr Staub wero not ptnyed upon him. "Bo tbe sowl
o" me great grandfather," exciaimod Dormer, "1'vo
nevor seen such a jiggor siuce tbe days of Jolly Dan
Caroy. Walk up, strangor, an' have a sup o? the best
In tbe bouse; an'bo the same token let everybody
?lae take somethln* at my cost. I um gratoly plased,
that 1 am, to receive such llegmt company." Alter
this camo a aoag and tho battlo with "Fighting Fra

mako In the good graces of Dormor that
they bad not been drunk more than onoe
or twlco togother until that worthy shouted alter
him through the koyhole, "Come agin the morrow, ye
thief of the wtirruU, or I'll bale ye wiliilnan Inch o'
your lite. " It Is no wonder, with sucii a viciery at
the ontset, McKenna should at once be accorded a let
tor of introduction to "Mud" l.awicr at Sbeaandoab;
tnat ho should acquire tbe friendship ol Manua Kull,'
who for reasons beat understood bv himself waa known
ac "Dan Kelly," or "Kelly, the Hum;" that his lame
?bould precede blm wherever he went, and to suob an
extent that even Jack Koboe waa willing to receive
him as a welcome viaitor, and that all ihe world ol tho
tntbraclte district was open wide belore him wbero
? chooso. Nor is it much wonoer, even, that
tho other reports concerning him which ho
w deltly put into circulation, that his real busi
ness was "shoving the queer," aud that be bad killed
a man at Buffalo, und wus "wanted," and only wanted
woric in tho mines to cscape from his pnrsuor*. should
commend blm to tbe kind of corapuuy he Bought. His
popularity grew with amazing rapidity, and ovory
where tho name of Jim McKenna was becoming f'a
mlliar. "I'm plazed to meet you, Mr. McKouna,"
said Muff Lawler, whon they Orst met at the "Short
dau Houso" at Pottsvlllo. "Through your friend and
mine, l'at Dormer, I've hoard about you. and began to
wonder where you waa taking yoursoll to?had ex
pectod to see you ai my house at Shonandoah. "Had

AKOTIIKK IPIOCHK ON TUK CANVAS.
With tho murder of tbe policeman, McKonna's no
vitiate may be aald to eiid, but in bis subsequent labors
another figure stands nut even more boidly on the can
vas. Tins was Captain Linden, one ol Pinkerlon'a
officers, who had been made cbiel of tbe Coal and
Irou Police. 01 ull tne man i have evar mat 1 gnow
no one wuo earned a bettor title to my respen lor per
sonal modesty und manly boaring as well as lor daring
detds. In the threatened attack upou the Weal
Shenandoah Colliery it was his personal courage aud
Intrepidity that overawed tbe mob and turned it away
from lis purpoae. That oue act cowed the spirit
of tha strikers and broke tho backbone ol tba
long strike. The murder ol Yost quickly followed
und two months later oocurrod the murder ol John P
Jones, at Lunsford. While tba murderera ol Jone'a
were making their way home lo Mount Laflea they
wore arrested in the bush al a little distance Irom
Tain aqua aud conveyed to Maucb Chunk Jail. lo me
meantime, McKauna had become lamiltar with all the
detslia ol the murder ol You, and with mauy othor
aventa besides, by previous arrangement it had been
agreed that under no circumstances wan be to be usud
as a witness, but. now the time lor arrest and punish
ment bad coine, and this was ueceasarlly the work or
Captain Linden. How well ho performed his task lif
teon convicted morderers, tan of whom uro to be exe
cuted ou Thursday, are the evidence. I'alike
McKenna, be could not work la secret, bm must
do whatever be did in the eyes ol iho
world and tn the lace ol threata and
Intimidation. That he lives to-day honored and re

Is the highest testimony to bis own huh qualities, lv
waa not the work ut the policeman or the detective
simply that he performed, although be had bissba-e
in this, but the higher work ol the prosecutor aud the
lawyer, und for this he is lo be honored, because so

about two miles.

YACHTING.
Corinthian Regatta of the Sewan
haka Yacht Club.
VARYING, UNCERTAIN WIND.
The Estelle, Arrow and "Wind
ward "Winners.
The Corinthian Keg tit* of the Heawrfbbaka Yacbt
Club, which tn sailed yesterday over the Mew York
Olub course, waa a pronounced success. Corinthian
yachting, tlr.-i Introduced by the Soswanbaka Club,
ban yearly grown Id favor until It culminated yesterday
In one ot tba boat it not the best regatta of Hue season.
Tbe somber o.' entries waa a credit to (he olub and tba
really able manner tn wbloh most of tbe bouts wsre sailed
a credit to tbe amateur sailors wno wauDod tbi-tn. Tba
day opeued dark and gloomy, and showers from ths
westward were plenty. It was at flrst feared that tbs
inclemency of tbe weather would necessitate tbe
postponement of the racc. but happily tbe weatber
olaarod at tbe time for the start and.tbe Heel gut away
between showers. The steamer Americus, Cupula
Poarce, carried the regatta ooinmilice, the judges and
tbe gussta of tbe elub to the number of aeveral
hundred.
Tbe aceue bofore tba start was an excoudingly blue
one. Dark clouds cauie rolling in from tba west,
covering everything with a gloomy pall. Away
far out beyond the Narrow* the watar was
black and uninviting, while bare and there
a wh'ta orested wave would rear itaelf as
U looking downward lor tbe yaobts It waa
soou to buffet. The rain alter a time descended In
torrents, and threatened to kill the wind, which was
fresh, lint tbe Cor.uiblnn sailors bad stout hearts,
and the Regalia Committee.boiug hlglt and dry and
aula on a couiioiublu steamboat did not care, so a
start was ordered.
It waa expected that tbo rnco between the two woll
matched schoouors, tbe KhioIIo and l'cerlesa, would
be close aud interesting, but each was not the caso.
Tbe contest oetwuen lbs ittviucible Arrow and the
matchless Vision was looked forward to as the event
of Uio day ; but here another disappointment was met.
Tbe Estelle won in ber class and tbe Arrow In hers,
llio Estelle, strango to say, bulnjz lu first. The Peerless
did aot do hersell Justice, and tbe Vinton sailed badly
and cauie in far astern, lu ttic second ciasa sloops tbe
Oriou actually won, but was rulod out on a technical
ity, one ol tbe rules of the racti boing to tbo effect that
no yacbt should curry a topsail higher than the mu.u
head. Tills, of course, barred club topsails, but
allowed working icpsaila that eama within tbo
rule as regarda sixo. Tbe Orion carried a
topsail that projected somo feot above tbe masthead; a
working topsail it waa called by tbo owner. After tba
race the owner of tba Windward, tbe winning boat In
case the Orion was rolod out, camo on board tba
ectiooner, and, on being asked, intimated to the com
mittee that a protest might bo expeoted. The commit
tee, thereupon, ruled Ihe Orlou out under tbo rule, and
awarded the prize to tbe Windward.
