KILLED.-A sad whisky accident hap
pened at the P. FIT. W. & G. R. w. station
IN this city on Tuesday evening which
was simply the grinding up IN the track
of a man whose name we could not learn.
The train ran over him and dragged as
much of his body as would hold together
from the station west to the crossing al
Erie street. The man was reported to be
drunk. At this writing we have not
heard the verdict of the C~oroneris jury
which took charge of the fragments on
Wednesday p. m.
A MAN SHoT.-On Thursday last one
Murphy, a meulder, while drunk and dis
orderly on the streets brandishing a hatch
ct, and threatening to kill any body who
might come in his way, after every posi-
BILE effort to quiet and arrest him, wal
shot by Marshal Seaman ,inficting a hest
wound on the face, and it was with the
greatest possible difficulty he was arrested
after the shooting. When first heard o
on the day the affair happened he was OF
the street armed with a huge butcher knit
threatening to kill any and every body
On hearing of his movements the Marsha
started to arrest him and found him OF
the street south of the Opera House OF
the side walk swinging a Ratchet at al
passers who came near him. To the Mar
shall he gave notice that he would not sur
render nor be taken alive and cautioned
the Marshal not to approach HIM anC
threatened to kill him If he did. WheI
within ten feet of him the Marshal halteC
and ~endeavored to prevail on him to give u
the Ratchet and be quiet, instead OF which
he advanced on swinging the Ratchet and
making all sorts of threats when Seaman
fired and missed him Intentionally. Find
ing that he would not desist from violenc,
the Marshal fred again with steady ain
