WHAT happened at Troy's (N. Y.) city those who have known of the past con- duct of elections in that city where, good citizens have often absented themselves from the polls in fear of their lives. Two republican challengers shot, one fatally, for trying to prevent repeating and voting upon other mems names The republicans had no candidate for mayor, but were supporting an independent democrat as against the ring candidate. The regular candidate was elected, but with such manifest fraud that a contest will be likely to be made. The telegraphic report says:
 Robert and William Ross, the victims, were among the citizens who had gather ed at the polls in, the third. district of the thirteenth ward to see that the election law was not violated. The voting had been spirited at this district, but not un- til the appearance of a gangsof repeaters was there ripple of excitement. A man who had no right to cast vote then pre- sented himself at the polls and demanded ballots. The republicans who challenged him were elected, and the man was after ward pushed into the street by other re- publicans. Then bullets flew through the air and four men were struck. Promi- nent among the fighters were ''Bat' Shea, John McGough and Jerry Cleary. They drew pistols and so did others in the crowd. By-standers say that Robert Ross was knocked down with a club, and while he was lying with his face down the assassin sent bullet into his brain, caus- ing almost instant death. William Ross, the murdered mans brother, was shot in the neck, and his condition is critical. Bat" Shea was slightly wounded, bull let having caused a scalp wound. A fourth man was shot, and it is reported he is John McGough. Shea was taken to saloon, where his injuries were dressed He is being closely watched, and vii probably be arrested.
 The trouble began at a republican war6 caucus, where the Ross brothers were active in preventing democrats from par ticipating and predominating.

Prosecuting Agent Phillips, of Putnam. is thus deservedly scored by the Patriot t

Prosecuting Agent Phillips, of Putnam. is thus deservedly scored by the Patri ot for a most reprehensible official act:
 Very little has been heard of Prosecu- ting Agent rhillips since the Patriot de. scribed his faithfulness to the interest of the. town. ins giving mp $1 200 worth of liquors, seized and lawfully condemned, to the law breakers. He has just match ed that actin spirit, and shown his wil- sfingness to befriend the vendors of liquor who are trapped violating the law. On Tuesday night seven searches were made for keeping and selling spirituous liquors in violation of law Four were caught and held. These guilty parties sent g delegation to Prosecuting Agent Phillips to explain their trouble and to solicit his assistance. Although in the middle of the night, he Fhastened from Dayville, and got here about 1.30 p. m. He routed up the justice and had the cases tried on the simple charge of keeping liquors, and not also the second charge, for selling the same, which would have made the parties liable to imprisonment. The. four cul- prits were therefore let off by paying 8 fine each of $40. Every one can decide l for himself the motive that could induce a sworn officer of the law to protect the
 interests of the town, to aid and counsel the law-breakers. We cannot blame the
 men who made themselves liable to severe
 punishment to escape the penalty as much
 as the officer who helped them in their purpose.

Springfield Union: Murder is not uIl- natural result when a determined effort is made to check such wholesale frauds as have been winked at in Troy. Now that the worst has come, the law respecting citizens should see clean sweep is made of the disreputable gang which is responsi- ble for yesterdays crime. The conviction of McKane in Brooklyn and of dozens of violators of the election lawsi in New York city has cleared the air in the vicinity of the metropolis. An execution by the ap- plication of all electric current seems to be needed to accomplish the same result in Troy.

Hartford Times The great figure that occupies the attention of the civilized world in these days is MT. Gladstone. As he rises to bid farewell to his power and influence and life-work- not to his greatness the. glorious epitome of his entire political activity is forced upon the mind, and we see him, not the lonely fig ure returning the great privy seal 10 his. sovereign. but the factor. in many reforms, the leading spirit in the foremost political movements of the century, and the chief tain of one of the great faction of English political life. MT. Gladstone retires be- cause his sight and hearing are impaired, as naturally they would be at 84 and the prime minister, who is also chief debater for the government in the commons, must exercise all his senses acutely in order to fill his position. He must know at once who speaks and what is said, and be ready to answer query, remark, or attack.
 Probably MT. Gladstone will continue to sit at the head of the liberal councils, and
 his party will still have the advantage of
 his voice, his wisdom, and his remarkable
 parliamentary generalship. Into his place steps a man whom Gladstone himself once designaated as ''the man of the future, a statesman who has thus far secured the esteem and honorable recognition Of all parties-Lord Rosebery.

Judge Shaw Files an Opinion In q Suit to
Quiet Title.
Judge Shaw yesterday fled an opinion
in the case of Mason vs.. Los Angeles in
Urinary. The complaint was in the or
binary form of an action to quiet title.
The complaint alleged, and the answer
admitted, that the defendant ia benev-
olent corporation. formed under the laws
OF the state.
Upon the trial it was admitted that
Anna Bates died a widow and was
seized of the land in controversy. The
plaintiff introduced evidence showing
that she was the only heir of Anna
Bates and rested her case.
Tie defendant read in evidence the
probate proceedings of the estate of
Anna Bates, declaring the whole estate
vested in defendant as sole devisee un-
der the will OF the deceased. 1t was ad-
mitted that this decree has not been en-
tered.
The court, after discussing the motion
to allow an amendment of the answer by
the defendant, holds that it can be done.
The court finally holds that the decree
is valid, and rules that upon the filing of
the amended answer judgment will be
rendered that the action abste.

The mere fact OF existing without the

counted as failure.
