Running Fight.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 30-The Leaders
special from Shelby, O.. says: Four burg
lars cracked a safe at New Washington, last
night, and escaped on hand-car to Vernon
Junction, where they threw the hand-car into
the creek to avoid being tracked, and went
to Shelby. Workmen saw them throw the
car into the creek, and reported it to the
authorities. who telegraphed to Shelby to
have the gang arrested. Marshal Suffer
found the burglars near the hotel and or
dered them to go with him, whereupon they
fired five shots, two hitting Suffer in the
leg and one in the side. Suffer then shot
one through the head, killing him instantly.
The others fed toward the woods, fol-
lowed by citizens who witnessed the
shooting. Two miles north of
town one of the gang turned and
fatally shot John Longacre, Decline bag
gage master. By that time 300 men were in
pursuit. Two miles further NJ. A. Cunning
ham captured Longacre's murderer and took
him to town. Pretty much the entire pop
ulace then turned out, greatly excited, and
armed with all manner of weapons. One of
the burglars found horse and buggy and
started away with it, Finding the buggy an
incumbrance, he cut the harness and escaped
on the horses back. Encountering Will

horse was fatigued from hard driving and
proved slow, and on the route the burglar
met two ladies in a buggy. With drawn
revolver, he ordered them to give up their
rig. One of the ladies struck him with the
whip, when he fired at them. but with only
the effect of frightening their horse, which
ran away. The burglar presently met a man
and boy with team. He frightened them
and took the team and started the horses on
run, he collided with another wagon and
was thrown out and the wagon turned on
him.. The pursuers shortly came up,
when the burglar piteously exclaimed:

This occurred thirteen miles from Shelby.
The body was borne triumphantly to town.
The corpses of both dead burglars were ex-

CINCINNATI, Nov. 30.-At 1 o'clock this
morning Frank Atkins, living in the north
eastern portion of the city known as Walnut
Hills, was awakened by the firing of a re-

to the shooting. but parties who got off the
car before the shooting tell OF a quarrel be-
tween the conductor and a passenger, and
this passenger is supposed to be the man
who did the shooting.
Harry Shaf5er young man employed by
Morris, Verbage " Co., has been arrested
and confesses that he shot the men. He says
that he had been drinking, but was not in

Since then 1 am told the feeling between the
two is not cordial.
If Cox is defeated in this contest be will
he is the oldest member of the House. In
1876 he filed the position of Speaker five
days.
Mr.. Cox's personal appearance is rather at
tractive. His mustache and chin beard are
gray, and his hair is beginning to show signs
of age. He has high forehead, and is get
ting bald. He is one of those nervous men
who are continually moving about the House
floor. When he speaks he has a habit of en-
phasizing his remarks by throwing his hands
and bending his body forward. On the floor
he is recognized as one of the leaders of his
party. DR.. Mary Walker said, some years
since, that she would rather risk getting a
bill through the House by placing it in the
hands of Cox and Butler than by trusting it
to all of the other representa-
tives. A Western congressman said
to me: Cox is one of the greatest
men in his party, and if he would but leave
fun alone he would be recognized as a
leader but he sacrifices every thing for fun.
He may be making an excellent speech, and
in the midst of it will say something to make
the members laugh, and the force of his
remarks is lost He is witty, but his wit is
not natural; it is cultivated,
Mr. Cox is hard worker, and his speeches
are prepared with great care. In their prep
aration he is assisted by his wife, a most
estimable lady. He is not religious man,
but his companion is an Episcopalian. She
was possessed of considerable money when
the two were married He is not wealthy.
1t was the New York representative who
got the bill through for completing Wash

question had dragged in the House. One
morning. the 22d of February, Mr.. Cox went

the day was a fitting one to consider the
monument for Washington.

LYEoHBURa, Va, Nov. 3o.-A desperate
roadside encounter occurred in Bedford
county twenty-eight miles south of Liberty,

county. The participants were two Martins

wounded the elder Martin in the head by q
pistol shot. and was beating him severely,

fight, came to the rescue. The young man,
as he dashed down the roadside, drew his
pistol. Upon reaching the scene of the con-
fict he placed his weapon against Hughes's
side and fired, killing him instantly. The
dead man was an influential merchant of
Bedford and a justice of the peace. The
cause of the affair is not yet definitely

Martin and Hughes had been on unfriendly
terms for while back, and at the meeting
yeste rday the matter was renewed. Young
Martin has been arrested and placed in Jail

much excitement in the county. where all
