.Assasasion In L,,.io York.
Prof. VIM. 81. Shelley, superintendent
of the public schools of York, and we'll
known In Lancaster. yesterday made an
information before Justice Ramsey against
Edward h. Horr, for surety of the peace
and assault and battery with intent to kil'.
II seems that Prof. Shelley was married to
MIR Herr's sister, who died several
years ago. leaving an infant daughter.
The professor desired to continue
his residence at the house at which
his wife died, but at the earnest solicita.
tion of Mrs. Herr and her daughters. he
removed with his little girl to the Herr
mansion on East Market street. About
this time Mr.. Herr was married and moved
into the adjoining house vacated by Prof.
Shelley. For number of years the former
handled the finances of the Herr estate,
which is large one. aud the family not
being satisfied with his accounts, substi-
tuted Prof. Shelley to some extent instead,
and this has led to i'll feeling, which has
ensued in many disputes over property
rights, accounts and money matters.
Mrs. Herr is desirous of going to Den
YER this month to visit her son. Mr.. Herr
volunteered to secure her ticket Mt
reduced price, but deferred the matter so
long that his mother finally told him yes.
terday, that she could wait no longer, and
she would procure her own ticket. This
angered the son, who resolved that Prof.
Shelley was the cause of his mothers
determination.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Herr went into
the br eakfast room of his mothers resi-.
dence armed with heavy cane, and pro.
fanely demanded the whereabouts of Prof.
Shelley. He thereupon proceeded to the
study of Mr.. Shelley and found him writing
at hie secretary. Mr.. Herr Immediately
dealt with the cane two terrible blows
upon the back of Prof Shelley's head and
neck. Tho latter was in the corner of the
room and could not flee from his antagOn-
ist, but the daughters threw themselves
into the breach, and diverted tho brOther's
attention sufficiently to allow the professor
to get out of the corner. He ran out Of
the house, with Mr.. Herr in hot pursuit,
who overlook him at tho fountain where
he delivered another savage blow with his
cane. The daughters again came to tho
rescue, and the professor finally escaped,
and Immediately proceeded to tho office
Of Justice Ramsey where he instituted
criminal proceedings for surety Of the
psace and assault and battery with intent
to kill. The defendant waived hearing
and was held in two thousand dollars bail
to answer at August court of quarter ses
siOns.
