Trying to Fasten Guilt in the
Troy Tragedy.
1T LOOKS VERY BAD FOR SHEA.

A Witness declares on Oath That tho

Troy, n. Y, March 20.-Unless "Bat"
Shea can produce seven as good witnesses
In his behalf as those who have testified
against him he will probably have to stand
up and plead to murder in the first de-
gree. Yesterday in the famous election
murder inquest the seventh witness testi-
fled TO seeing Shea not only fire In the
melee, but deliberately kill Robert Ross
while he was PROSTATE. The witness was
August Loeble, German, who gave his
testimony in straightforward and de-
cislve manner.

Ross head while Ross laid on the ground
and fire. was close to him, . he said. II
saw Mr.. Boland (Rcpublican) fire, but not
until Mr.. Ross was shot in the head by
Shea"
The cross-examination failed to shake
the witness testimony on any point.
Edward Copperly, who voted in the fatal
district, heard somebody say while at the
polling place, Here comes the repeaters."
Two of them voted, and then he saw

He did not know Shea, but since seeing
him pointed out he remembered that he
had been in front of the polling place try
ing TO pick quarrel. On cross-examina-
tion he said that Ross was sitting on the
bank of the gully when McGough fired at
him. He was facing McGough. This tes-
timony of the witness evidently surprised
Shea, for he leaned forward and listened
will great attention, it being the first
time during the day that he had shown
any inclination to be interested.
Witness said II never saw Shea shoot

twice at him. chased McGough and was

LANCASTER, Pa, March eO.--A sensa.
tional scene occurred in the court room
here. In settling up the estate of the
mother of Benjamin Good, of Conestaga
township, the auditors found that Goods
sister was entitled to 5000. Benjamin Good
was the administrator, and refused 10 pay
over the cash, stuting that his sister Mad
already got all she was entitled to. He
had been in Jail for contempt, but was
brought to court on an application for
discharge as an insolvent. AS he refused
to sign the papers, his lawyers told him he
would have TO 60 back to jail. He pre-.
tended to draw a pistol, when an under
keeper quickly covered him with a revol-
yer and ordered him to throw up his hands,
which he did, but he still refused to leave
the court room. The under keeper and his
assistants then seized Good. During the
struggle nearly all his clothes were torn
from him. A search showed he had no
revolver. Good offered the under keeper
$50 to allow him to escape.

fgurative volcano, threatening another
eruption here at any moment, and a battle
may be fought that will almost certainly
involve serious consequences The Buffalo,
Rochester and Pttsburg Railroad conf
pany, engaged in the preliminary skirm-
ishing early In the morning with the
Western New York and Pennsylvania
road, arrayed on the other side in this city.
1t Is all about strip land which both
companies claim. The strip is 80 feet wide
and 500 feet long, abutting on the West
ern New York and Pennsylvania tracks.
During the night the Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg people, with force of 500
men, laid side track over this strip. In
doing this strategic act under cover of the
night they undermined the track of the
Western New York and Pennsylvania.
They were discovered, still at work, at
o'clock in tho morning by the Western
New York and Pennsylvania people.
The Western New York and Pennsyl
vania officials mustered the strongest at
tacking forces available on the sudden
alarm, and n desperate effort was made to
drive off the 500 men in the service of the
b., II. and p. company. A heavily loaded
train of w. n. Y. and P. cars was rushed
down to cover the point that had been
weakened by the operators of the other
force The load was tremendous, and the
undermined track gave way, carrying the
train down. The wreck fell upon b., Il.
and p. cars, which Ind been run in dur
ing the night to help hold down piece
of that conlpnny's track. ana an all
around smashup was the result.
All this time the big b., X. Sc p. en-
gines were pushing the gondolas, which
they run on the newly made switch, down
towards Main street, and a building which
stood nearby was torn from it's foundation
and piled on the sidewalk, a complete
wreck. The b., II. g. p, forces has pos

The local authorities speedily took hand,
but in case of another collision they will
be unable to cope with the railroad forces.

The remainder of the day was devoted to
the discussion of two propositions, one re-

providing for the auditing of their ac-
counts by the treasury department, and
the other requiring the boards of mana
gersto make annual reports of the condi-

Black opposed this change on the ground
that it would interfere with the plenary
powers of the board of managers.

HAZLEroN, Pa. March aO.-Adam Seitz
prominent citizen of Highland WAS

late at night. He was returning to his
home from Eckley when he noticed II
strange appearing tigure, evidently that of
a man disguised in cloak, cross tile road
few rods in front of him. He shouted at
the man aud pistol shot rang out on the
air in response. The ball took effect in
Seitz's breast, and after staggering few
yards he fell TO the ground unconscious,
and was Obliged to lay in the woods until
morning. 1t is not thought that the shot
was intended for Seitz, the general opinion
being that gang had been lying in wait
for an enemy.
