MURDERED BIZ an OFFICER,
A shocking AnaIT Near shsHnee
town, II.-ThTee Deaths the Result
Of One Pistol Shot.


Evansville journal, July 8.
The details of a terrible affair at Shaw
,,aptowu have reached Us-a crime sur
rounded bv circumstances unusually dra-
matte and sad, and which has cast gloom
over the entire community. AyOqng mar
ried man named Hughes was killed by an
officer named Brim Pillow, on Saturday al
ternOOn, under circumstances which VIC
will detail:
Hughes has been married about year,
and on Friday evening his wife gave birth
to A child. Feeling elated over the Occa-
sion. and il being the celebration Of the
Fourth, Hughes went into town from his
farm a few miles out, on SATURDAY mOIn-
inc, and became intoxicated. About noon
be entered Billy Browns saloon, on Main
street, and in some way became EN-
broiled in a quarrel with some persons
within. The quarrel became loud and
nOisv, when Pillow, whose office We could
not exactly ascertain, went in to arrest him.
Hughes resisted and struggle enSued,
during which Pillow struck him terrible
blow over the head. The prisoner was
then conducted towards the jail, until in
front of Mr.. Rhodes law Office, be again
refused to proceed further, and Pillow was
about TO strike him again. A spectator in
terfered, however, to prevent 1t, and per
suaded Hughes to 90 on with the officer.
The prisoner was delivered over 70 Marshal
Lender, who took him to Jail.
Just as the Marshal was about to close
the door Of the Jail upon Hughes, the latter
suddenly rushed out, overthrow him yio-
lentlv and ran away. The Marshal pur-
sued and fired three shots after him, neither
taking effect, for the prisoner disappeared.
He went TO where his team was hitched,
when the landlord advised him to put on a
clean shirt, his own being bloody. This
was done. and mounting a neighbOr's mule
he set out for home.
Learning Of the prisoners escape, III
low mounted a horse and left ShaWneetoWn
in hot pursuit. Upon arTiyingat the Leyee
bridge. about a mile and half below town,
he overlook Hughes upon the mule. The
latter saw him coming, and tried to escape
by flight. Pillow called to him to halt, but
Hughes paid no attention TO the demand,
when Pillow fired at him, the ball entering
the right side, above the hip. He tumbled
off his mule and died instantly.
The coroner was summoned to the scene
and an inquest held, the verdict being
murder al the hands Of PILLOW. The muir
dered man vas taken into town and coilined
and seI.t out TO his home. The young vile
who had no intimatiOn Of the terrible and
fatal affair was not prepared in any way
for il, and was so shocked at it, that ma
ture could not bear up under it, and she
died on Sunday evening and the innocent
babe also.
Pillow was kept in custody, and was to
have preliminary examination yesterday.

ST. LOUIS.
ncatII Of Franls 2. Blair. Ir.


ST. LOUIS, June g.-Gen. Frank 7.
Blair, Jr., died % haIf-past II O'Clock last
night. Although the General had been
sick a long time, without any hope Of re-
c0very, his death was sudden and at the
time unexpected.
1t seems that the immediate cause of
Gen. Blair's death last night was a fall he
received while walking from one room to
another iu his house. He had been out for
a drive In the afternoon, returned about >
o'clock, and seemed % have enjoyed it much
and received considerable benefit, but while
walking in his room was attacked with
dizziness and tell, striking his temple
against piece Of furniture, which rendered
him inseusible. Medical aid was immedi-
ately summoned and every effort was made
81 restore him to consciousness, but with
out success. and at half-past eleven he
quietly passed away, surrounded by all the
members Of his family. His parents have
been teleGraphed to and Will probably
arrive here In time for the funeral Sunday.
The family desire quiet funeral, but
the members Of the old First Missouri reg
iment. of which Gen. Blair was lis first
colonel, have called "a meeting for t0-mOr-
row and will probably decide to accompany
the remains Of their old commander to his
crave, and other organizations may de-
termiue TO do likewise.

announced this morning, was not IN
exnected He had been in Ill health for
two years, and was recently supposed
to have received some benefit from
TRANSMISSION Of blood, but his friends
had little hope Of his ultimate recovery.
As a soldier he made considerable re-
putation during the war, and was
the Democratic candidate fol- the
Fice-Presidency in 1868 on the ticket
with Horatio Seymour. He figured
little IN politics afterward, though he
appeared IN the Cincinnati Convention

At the time Of his death, he was State

also a touching tribute 70 the prevail

ferred. with touching pathos, to the
history OF the divided and scattered
Jews, who, hearing the words OF the
