PETE CURLEY's COMPANION SHOT DEAD.
A Masked Robber Shot by Waterman
The End Of the Notorious Ned Hughes
Ono of the Assistants in the Barre job

The End OF the Notorious Ned Hughes
One of the Assistants in the Barre Job.
Last month masked burglar entered the
office of the Oxford iron company at Ok
ford, N. j., inI The dead of night, and was
preparing to commit a robbery on the safe
when he was discovered by the Waterman.
He drew q revolver and attempted TO es-
cape, hut before he could use his weapon
the Waterman fired and the ruflian fell dead
in his tracks. All efforts TO recognize the
dead burglar proved unsuccessful until on
Saturday, when it was found that he was
Ned Hughes,
NOTED BURGLAR
of New York city. The identity was es-
tabished by photograph of two children,
who were recognized as twin children of
Hughes. The dead cracKsman was once a
well known gambler of New York, who
spent considerable money obtained by work
done by candle light when honest people
were in bed. He never claimed to have
any business, but had been know for many
years as
A PROFESSIONAL BURGLAR
George Mercer of Philadelphia, George
Bliss and Peter Curley of New York, made
formidable quartette of desperate charac-
ters. The quartette are supposed to have
been engaged in Philadelphia burglary,
the perpetrators of which were ne yer
caught. 1t is believed that he paid this
vicinity a visit on several occasions The
GIrNs p,tts-A.aD WATERFORD BANKS
suffered from these depredators. lie was
one of the crowd that set that little villag.
of Waterford in such state of excitement
on that dark October night. Mercer is at
present serving in the eastern penitentiary,
Pennsy lvania, for some of his misdeeds in
that section. Hughes was engaged with
Mercer in the job, but succeeded in making
his escape, only to meet his death as has
been described. He is belved to have had
hand in the burglary committed
AT THE BARRE, W., BANK,
and to have made off with some of the pro-
ceeds of the crime after Curley was cap
tured. Hughes has seen as much of the
ups and downs of burglars life as any
man of the dark profession to which he be-
longs. He has on numerous occasions
graced the cells of state prison, but by
some means only known to men of his
class, he has escaped long terms of punish
ment and at last met the reward that
sooner or later comes to men who are con-
tinually
WORKING WITH THEIR LIVES IN ONE HAND
and chimney" in the other, and making
war on the goods of other men. The
Brooklyn city prison was not strong enough
to hold this prince of burg lars, and with
the aid of confederates no less daring than
himself, he succeeded in making his es-
cape. He'would stop at nothing, not even
murder. lie has been engaged IN his un-
lawful doings in Pennsylvania, and three
murders were committed in robberies
where he was supposed to have had a
hand. He used short, heavy club to do
the work of death. Troy Press.

Weston Beaten by the Chicago Pc.
destrian.

The five hundred mile walking match
between the pedestrian Weston and o Leary
of Chicago, which took place in the latter
city, last week, terminated at 11.20 Satur-
day night, in the overwhelming defeat Of
the former, O'Leary having completed SOB
miles to his opponents 445i. O'Leary led
from the start, and all through the walk
gained steadily on Weston, who pegged
steadily along, evidently under the i'm
preston that OLeary would peg out be-
fore the end. O'Leary made his last mile
IN 1910 and Weston's last mile was made
in 1910. O'Leary walked rs miles Satur-
day Weston, 81. There is great talk of
matching a ''dark" English pedestrian
against O'Leary to walk fifty miles for any
part OF 5000, the match to occur in either
London, Manchester or Sheffield.

The Republican State Convention takes
place In this city next Tuesday, day which
will enable the delegates from the eastern
part of the state to avail themselves of pas
sage by the steamers which arrive here Mon
day night or early Tuesday morning. On all
the railroads except the Grand Trunk, per-
sons attending the Convention will be re-
quired to pay but one fare for the round trip.
On the Grand Trunk, those attending the
Convention can get tickets for the round trip
for one and one-third fares. We trust,
therefore, that there will be a full attend
ance next Tuesday. Our contemporaries
generally concede that General Connor will
be nominated, so that the more distant
towns which are only represented when there
is spirited contest will not, in all probability
be generally represented. From what we eau
learn. however, the Convention will be well
attended. We trust that no one will neglect
to come because there is not likely to be any
contest over the nomination, but that all will
come up to the Convention to compare notes
and take counsel together. The State Com
mittee will meet at the Falmouth Hotel the
evening before the Convention.

THE report comes from New York that a
grand stroke is contemplated which will COM
pletely effect the object of all the ring suits
and insure the return to the city of the pro-
ceeds of the thefts. The proceedings have
been so far advanced that there is no longer
any doubt of securing judgments in the courts
against estates held in this country by per-
sons implicated. 1t is thought too that by
some process of international law suits can
be brought against the thieves who have TAX
en- refuge in foreign countries and judgment
against them be recovered in foreign courts
All who shared the sixty millions stolen un-
der the ring rule are to be included il. the new
proceedings and compelled to refund.

WE understand that the statute now fixes
the "ciyll' day of the municipal court on
Monday, and Judge Knights communica-
tion to the city government on the subject
was simply to call attention to the fact, that
under this arrangement all the persons ares
ted Saturday and Sunday have to be COM
mitted to the Jail and kept an extra day at
the county's expense, making, also, much
additional trouble to the authorities. This
alone would appear to be good reason for a
change, and when is added to this the fact
that it is always hardship, and many times
a wrong to hold prisoners day longer than
necessary, it makes, so it would seem. a
strong case in favor Of adopting some other
day in the week for the consideration of civil
business.

RESPECTING the Republican State con.

vention, the Lewiston Journal says:
We trust that there will be large atten-
dance at the Republican State convention,
which is to meet in Portland on Tuesday
cf next week. The place of meeting is IA
vorable. the fares have been reduced for the
occasion, aud everything betokens a large
gathering. We hear no name mentioned for
the gubernatorial candidacy, except that of
Gen. Conner, and presume he will be nom
mated by acclamation. With a sound and
progressive platform-one that shall cover
important State issues like equal taxation, a
wise economy in public expenditures, etc., as
well as national issues, the Republicans of
Maine will be sure to carry the State In
September by an increased majority.

The Democratic State Convention has
the prospect of having very lively time to
find a candidate for Governor. At last ac
counts Mr. Plllsbury's hands are full of let
tiers from gentlemen who saw their names
'smentioned'' in connection with that honor,
and in the first moment of panic at the idea,
set themselves to writing that they must be
excused-that whatever else might befall
them they wanted none of this sort of thing
to make up part of their obituaries. There
are, however, gentlemen who will accept.
There is a very sizeable crowd of the leaders
who will glory in bearing the Bourbon stand
ard aloft; but none of the "young Democracy
who can get it will accept so stale and
empty an honor as. to head the army oil

THE government has received fhll report
of the illegal treatment of two United States
soldiers in Texas town upon the Mexi-
can frontier, which caused Secretary Belknap
to telegraph to .he governor of Texas
that if the people of that state did not
tleat the soldiers more justly, they
would all be withdrawn from the border
and the people left to protect themselves
against the Mexican marauders. 1t seems
that soldiers who had shot Mexican robber
were indicted for an act discharged in the
line of their duty, and arrested and tried.
1t turns out that the whole affair was by a
border county jury, made up of Mexicans,
and over which the State authorities of Tex
as had no control. The legislature has
agreed to take such action as will meet the
case, and the War department will not with
draw its troops, but push the movement
against the robbers with increased vigor.
