Troy, N Y, March "a municipal
election is being held here today. This
afternoon Robert Ross, Republican poll
watcher, was shot dead and his broth
er, William, mortality wounded.
About 1890 this afternoon row
broke out in the first district of the
Eleventh ward. The Malloy men, it
was stated by the Republicans. were
running in repeaters. Among the Re-
publican watchers were Robert Ross
and his brother William. They grab
bed couple of men being showed for
ward to vote. During the fracas, three
or four shots were fired.
Wehn reserve of the police finally
restored order, Robert Ross was found
lying ON the ground with a pistol
wound in his head and William near
by fatally hurt Several others were
in bad shape. Many had been pound
ed until their faces were unrecogniza-
BILE.
On the opposite side of the street was
Bait Shaw, a Democrat, lying dead in
the gutter. The Malloy men claimed
that the shots were fired by the police,
who admit using clubs and revolvers,
but by-standers say the pistols were
drawn before the police took hand.
There are no arrests so far.
1t is understood that Bat" Shea
himself did the shooting and was in
turn shot by one of the Ross brothers.
Shea was notorious character.
There were six candidates for mayor:
The present incumbent, Dennis Whe-
Ian, Democrat, endorsed by a wing of
Republicans, and Thomas Malloy. the
regular Democratic nominee, were the
leading candidates.
The feeling runs high; allegations
of fraudulent registry are freely made.
John McGough was also seriously in
iured.
The story told by the surviving
Ross is that Bat Shea, is the man
who killed Robert Ross. John Ross
said: 81 did not fire a pistol. 1t was
murder. deliberate murder, and pre-
meditated. Only about an hour and a
half before this man Shea struck my
brother William full in the face.

to say nothing-the blow would not
hurt him. l did not think at the time

POSTAL INTERPRETATIONS.

Three Million Less Than the Depart
ment Estimates.
Washington, March 6.-The report
of the committee on postoffices sub
mitted to the House with the postoffice
appropriation bill shows that the bill
carries a total appropriation of SS7, no.
500, or about 100000 less than de-
partment estimates, and a like amount
more than the appropriation for the
current year. The estimated postal
revenue for the fiscal year Of 1895 is $751;

propriated; for compensation to rail-
roads the amount is cut from $26,900,-
900 to $4,000, 600.
A saving of $685., 1923 has been made
by cutting off the following ocean mail
contract routes Galveston to Laguay-
ara: San Francisco to Panama; New
York to Antwerp; New York to
Janiero.
Dissenting views are reported by
Kyle, Of Mississippi, and Loud, of Cali
fornia, from the recommendation to ap-
propriate Sl96,o14 for special mail
facilities for the trunk line. They
argue that the principle which allows
the government to discriminate in
favor of individual enterprises is I'M
just and demoralizing to the system,
and that Postmaster-General Bissell
does not recommend the continuance,
but shows in his report, that railroads
which previously were beneficiarieS of
the fund but not now receiving it, are
rendering as good service as before.
They assert that the postmaster-gen-
eral recommended an appropriation OF
that character and cited Postmasters-
General Dickinson and Wanamaker

THREE TIMES A YEAR.
Mobile & Ohio Train Again Held
Up.


Up.
ST. Louis, Mo, March 6.-Tonight
about o'clock, the Mobile & Ohio
train, which left here at 6:S5 o'clock,
was held up by three robbers at For
est Lawn, III. This is he third time
within the past six months that this
road has suffered from robbers at this
point
1t is thought tonight's hold up was
perpetrated by members of the same
gang which committed the other rob-
berries. There is no telegraph office at
Forest Lawn and particulars are very
hard to obtain. 1t cannot be ascer-
tanned, at this hour, what the robbers
obtained, but is is not thought the haul
amounted to much.
Soon after the train passed Pittsburg
crossing, the fireman saw three men
crawling over the tender from the bag
gage car He drew his revolver and
held them at bay, while the engineer
slowed up and drew his own gun
Conductor Eshols came forward to
see why the train was stopped and
with his help the three would-be rob-
bers were put to flight without a shot
being fired. The men ran away with
out attempting to draw their weapons
and were soon lost sight of in the
darkness.
The train continued on it's way to
Columbia, where information was sent
back to East st. Louis of the attempt
ed robbery.
AS soon as word was received at
East st. Louis four police officers were
Immediately sent out on an engine 10
the scene of the attempted robbery to
trace the men if possible.
Later, when the train reached Muir
lphysboro, ILL.,. the Republics correspon-
dent obtained the alleged true story Of
the affair
Three men climbed on the engine
They covered the engineer and fireman
with revolvers and ordered them tc
lstop. The engineer and fireman then
marched from the engine to the ex-
lpress car The robbers then ordered
| the express messenger to open up,which
he did. One of them entered the ex-
lpress car and ordered the messenger tc
open the safe, and the messenger told
| him there was nothing in it, but opened
lit, and as he said there was nothing in
lit.
The conductor stepped outside to see
what was wrong, when the robbers
fired at him without effect The con
ductor then boarded the train, and the
robbers told the engineer and fireman
to get on the engine and pull out
which they did. The robbers escaped
