effect in the wall over their heads. O'COnnor
instantly seized his gun and going outside the
door discharged it; he then returned and sent
for the constable, after which he reloaded his
gun and went out into the darkness to find out
if possible who fired the shot. He had not
been out but short time, when those in the
house heard the report OF gun followed in
quick succession by another. Soon after this
the constable. Donavan, arrived and proceeded
down the road from O'Connor's house to find
him and ascertain what was the matter. About
twenty five rods from the house he found
0 Conner lying near the center Of the road
dead, with his gun by his side. His body was
at once removed to the house, and on the fol-
lowing day DR.. Lincoln, Of Wabasha, made a
post mortem examination. It was found that
the main charge had struck O'Connor about
half way between the left shoulder and the
neck, piercing the main artery, penetrating the
left lung and severing the third, fourth and
fifth ribs. lodging in the back bone. The bal
lance of the charge SCATTERING the left arm in
with No. shot. O'Connors death must have
been instantaneous.
William Kelley, Thos. Kelley his son, Ar
thur Mozart and Michael Mahony were arrested,
charged with the commission Of the deed, and
| will be tried to-day friday before Justice La
Meet
Much credit is due Constable Donavan for the
and promptly arresting the suspected parties.
1t is evident that the first shot killed O'Con-
nor and thu his (O'C's.) gun which he was
carrying is bis hand with his finger on the
trigger was undoubtedly discharged by the sud-
den contraction Of the mustles, occasiOned by
the shock.
The inquest held before Coroner Arnold, on
Monday, was not made as thorough as was
designed, for reasons which will appear on the
trial Of the accused parties.
The prisoners are under guard of Sheriff
Smith and posse of men near where the crime
was committed.
If will be remembered that it is less than a
year ago that John Chambers was murdered in
this immediate neighborhood, under similar
circumstances, and which has remained mys-
terry ever since.
We hope to see the guilty parties brought to
justice and the full extent Of the law meeted
| out to them.

Donneliy goes for the rich coal miners OF

pose to boss tie coal smining business and
make consumers and miners Of this article of
fuel come to their terms; and because, further.
these rich miners are crowding out the retail
coal dealer in the towns and cities of Penn

But will some one be good enough to explain
what motive Ell Paso Donnelly could have in
attempting to mix Mr.. Pillsbury's name with
his false and baseless charges against the Mill
er's Association? Does he mean to insinuate
that Mr.. Pillsbury has the management Of that
dice that gentleman in the eyes of the farmers
by assOciating him with matter that he has
no more to do with than Donnelly has, But
this is simply another illustration Of Mr.. Dom

Another of the beauties of the protective tariff
system is exhibited by instructions from Wash
ington to the collector at the port of Phila-
delpbia, that the new agricultural tools OF
mechanical tools that an immigrant brings
with him for his strictly personal use, in trying
to earn his livelihood, will have to pay the
same heavy duty that is exacted on such arti-
cles when imported for sale at a profit.
Yes; the robberies of the high tariff
begin as soon as the immigrant enters
our ports. But for our fertile soil and inn
mense crops, this whole country would
long since have been bankrupt
Why should poor foreigner pay pro-
tective duties on his spade, his shovel,

them.
How did they compel them to give up
