SHE HAD STRUGGLED.
Medical Examiner Viewed the Re-
mains OF the AttIeb0r0 Victims.

by Inc AssOCihteu f-fess.
ATTLEBoRo, Oct. 25.-After lying in the
woods all night, tho bodies of Mr..
and Mrs. Coggeshall, the victims
Of yesterdays tragedy, were viewed
by Medical Examiner Franklin Of
Wrentham this morning. The body of
Mrs. Coggeshall was first examined, and
1t was found that death resulted from a
bullet which pierced the skull just back
OF the ear. Apparently she had struggled
about three hours after the wound was
received.
Coggeshall was instantly killed, the
bullet entering his left ear. Medical Ex-
aminer Franklin thinks that there was no
struggle between them prior to the shoot
ing, but advances the theory that
most of the marks and footprints on
the ground nearby were made by
Mrs. Coggcsh ball after the fatal shot. Ap-
parently she had risen several times and
tried to walk, falling back each time. The
bodies were carried to the home of
the Coggeshalls about 10 o'clock.
The house is now under guard to keep
out curiosity seekers.

There was a ratification meeting at
Thomas Quinn's undertaking rooms, on
Orms street, last evening. Over hundred
democrats were present TO endorse the
ticket announced in The NEWS
last week, namely, Alderman Mccarthy
and rouncilmen James Burdick.
Augustine fiblin, Daniel O'Connell and
Timothy Y. Murphy. For school com
Sheahap was at the meeting and hot words
passed between him ana Bernard Conaty,
who has always taken an active interest In
politics in the Third Ward.
The meeting last night was composed
OF the so-called Gilmartin faction, and
was very unanimous. The only friends
Mr.. Sheahan had then were John OCon-
nor, Farrell j. Higgins and a man namod
Patrick Cahir. IL is understood that
Mr.. Sheahan has engaged the Wanskuck
Hall, and Will hold vindication meeting
there on next Monday evening. What
gooo this Will do Mr.. Shoahan Is what the
people OF the First and Second districts
are asking themselves now.
1t is very doubtful whether another
ticket will be put ia the field. The friends
OF Mr.. Sheahan are very indignant over
the shabby treatment he received, and
will no doubt remember il whenever they
get an opportunity. They say they have
no representatio ion on the school committee
and have not had for two years, and Mr..
Sheahan would fill the bill acceptably to
them.

SEhRCEY'S CAREER.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Oct. 25.-In an
interview last night, hr. Pinkerton said: {:
Searcey, to the best OF my knowledge
and belief, has never before been connected
with q train robbery. He is well up in
Masonry and with the Knights OF
Pythias, and evidently at one time stood
well.
His confession was due to papers found
on him that would have convicted him.
His implication OF Morgantield was will
lingiv given, the entire confession having
been made in Washington last Sunday.
Morganfeld's right name is Charles
Morgan, and he is from Neelyville, Mo-,
where he followed gambling for living
and was no doubt the promoter OF the
"hold-up."

Review OF Yesterday i'm Brief

London prices came in a shade firmer
and our market opened at fractional inn
provement, but with a further reduc-
tion OF busints SIS, the total volume
Being smaller than on any day
for q considerable time past. In the first
dealings Manhattan was firm in tone on
covering by shorts and there was linn
tied buying in Sugar based on rumors Of
recent purchases for the account
of Theo. Havemeyer, but Ten
nessee coal was exceptionally
heavy and rumors We're later circulated TO
the effect that one OF the directors of the
company had resigned and that he and
his following had been liGuidating their
holdings within the past lew days. Else
whore there was scarcely ripple in
the speculation, and almost no
changes, even fractionally, until toward
the last half hour when the market took
on slightly firmer tone on covering by
shorts and closed at slight advance for
ths day, the most important being in
Manhattan, General Electric and Sugar.
There was no change in the situation or
outlook and the general course of prices
appears to be turning almost wholly upon
the possibilities OF gold exports and oper-
ations by the short. In spite
of duilness, however, firm
tone has been maintained and
some OF the bulls are expressing the
opinion tonight that with a return OF
activity the market is likely TO work
toward a higher range. Fluctuations
are still thought to be largely dependent
on the movement in Sugar and the
general character of the current news.

GOVERNOR HUGHEs, Governor Zu- lick, Judge Baker, Attorney General Heney, Delegate Smith and host of titled gentlemen of democratic pro- clivities have been in attendance at Washington during the late session of congress writing home to the demo- cratic press the wonderful things they have been doing in favor of the admis- sion of Arizona, and yet with all the host of them congress has adjourned and nothing but the promises os these same advocates that congress will early in the next session pass the much wanted bill for the admission of the territory.

 rwoULD seem that Oakes Murphy's record in the funding of Arzona's debt, during his term as governor, is not the best. The enormous sum of BPS. .000 was taken from the territorial treasury as expenses in selling Sl,5OO,- 000 in bonds. Of this, at least slSOO0 was wasteful extravaganza to draw it no stronger Bulletin.
 Murphy sold the bonds at par, say ing the territory s9oO,OOo in interest, and S75,000 in discount. As yet Hughes has sold no bonds at any price, and has spent money just as freely. But why don't the Bulletin demon strate that sls.000 of the S2s,0oo ex- pended was ''wasteful extravaganza. i" Assertions are not going to count in this campaign. It will take demon stration.

A DEMOCRATIC souABDLE.

Judge Reilly's pamplet on the Co., chise county muddle is at hand. It is the intention of the editor to read it very carefully before giving vent to any decided expression in the matter Not only win the pamphlet mentioned be carefully read and di- gested but to aid in formulating a just conclusion the editor is interview ing as fast as he can get to them, lead ing men on both sides of the disEute. After having thoroughly sifted the matter if he finds the occasion re- quires if the editor will give an impar- tial opinion, without fear or favor.
 But from a cursory glance at the pamphlet Of Judge Reilly, all that as yet has been possible to spare 1t, the writer has reached one conclusion which he does not mind presenting right now. That is that on Judge Reil lys own showing the central fact around which all this muddle re- voyed. was a squabble between two democrats Scott White, who was supervisor and had been elected sheriff and Geo. W. Bryant, who had been de- feated for reelection for supervisor, and who was aiming to get upon the board in the vacancy to be made by Whites going into the sheriiT's office, where White did not want him; his record as supervisor having been on the watch dog of the treasury plan White did not want scrutinizing of his bills. Sc White continued to act as supervisor until such time as he could fix things to suit. Now around this situation as presented py Judge Reilly turns the whole panorama of political cussedness which he presents As asserted hereinbefore, it is sub- ject not to be discussed except after a most careful examination. But 1t Is plain on the face of it that it isa dem- oeratic squabble, which republicans should not use or permit used to divide their own party There are several fine legal questions involved in this controversy, and those should have been left to the courts to decide. In the political questions involved party policy on the part of republicans should dictate that they let the dem- ocrats fight it out they will be only supplying republican campaign ammu- milton. It is like the fight at Wash ington on the tariff bill Republicans had only to stand aloof and let tine war riag factions rend each other. Reed and Burrows and Cameron and other republican leaders did not get in and go to knitting each other because Cor man and Wilson couldn't agree upon tariff measure. Cochise republicans should take q leaf from the tariff les son and let the comon enemy divide and squabble all they please; but keep theirdiyisions out of our own party.
