of Henry Quill, aged Is years, was found
yesterday at the bottom Of the air-shaft

seemed TO know what had become of him.
The neighborhood was greatly excited
about the tragedy yesterday, and many
people cling TO the belief that the boy
ates, who in a quarrel had thrown him
into the shaft. Several boys who were
said to have cherished i'll feelings against
him were named, but his friends denied
all these stories strcnuously and hold to
the opinion that his death was purely
accidental. This belief 10 shared by the

Local Police n Hard Tussle.
ELMIRA, N. Y, April 1.-THE police at
Corning had a lively chase after train
robbers last night. The officers were first
called to quell a disturbance among a lot
OF tramps who had broken into a freight
car in an outgoing train n afterwards
got into a free fight among themselves.
After a desperate struggle one OF the
tramps was captured. Later the police
were again called out. The gang bad re-
turned and stoned the brakeman away
from the train. A chase ensued and two
OF the desperadoes were captured, one DO.
ing shot.
The burglars were the boldest and most
daring that the Corning police have ever
dealt with. They pursued their work and
kept opening cars when they knew the
officers were in pursuit. At least five
cars were broken into. There was q
quantity of fuse and a powder blower
found upon those captured, and they are
undoubtedly professional burglars.
