ROBBERY AT TERRA ALTA.

Burglars -One OF Them Shot.

TERRA ALTA, w: Va. June AT
about 1880 o'clock last night many
people were aroused by hearing three
shots in quick succession. followed by
n call for police. Upon Investigation
IL was found that Mr. w Reed Crane
proprietor OF the Terra Alta drug store,
who has for some time past been the
victim of Systematic robberies, had
surprised the burglars in his store and
had fred ut one of them. They had
entered by cellar window, and as one
of them attempted TO como out. Mr.
Crane opened fire. but evidently miss
ed his aim as the man sprang from the
window and shortly after started to
run. Crane started closely in pursuit,
firing as he ran. After running rapidly
for about 100 yards the burglar fell
suddenly TO the ground, and MIR. Crane
being so closely behind, tripped over
him and the two men grappled The
burglar evidently got the worst OF H..
AS he suddenly released MIR. Crane and
sprang over an adjoining fence. BY
the time help arrived i'm response TO
Cranes call, the thieves had made Off
This morning n great quantity of blood
was found on the grass and leaves ON
the road. 1t is thought that the man
is seriously if not fatally wounded, but
up to the present time his whereabouts
cannot be discovered. Mr.. Crane, this
morning, swore out warrant before
Squire Hill for the arrest of Austin Me-
Grail, of this place, claiming that he
recognized McGrail as the man with
whom he tusseled. IL is thought by
many that the burglar is badly hurt
and is in hiding, either here or in the
woods near the town. Mr. Crane has
lost great deal of cash, cigars. wines
and liquors. through the raids OF this
gang, and says he knows all OF them
All are Terra Altaians, and some sen
sational arrests are expected to follow

which made a menacing crest for the lines in blue. On the mountain side not far away veils of gray mist just ris- ing toward the higher summits like curtains rising upon a gigantic drama soon to be enacted amid the matchless scenic accessories of this mighty stage. And just now the hush ofexpectation,i in which loud voices were stilled and the most conspicuous sounds were the tread of armies, the rattling of cannon wheels and accoutrements, the clear voices of command. Something of the gray tint appeared at times in human faces, a pale gray which told of grave thoughts and dire possibilities.
 And then the tempest. Gray smoke rising from cannons which flashed lightning athwart the clouds and shook the earth with thunder. The rattle of musketry, the whistling of bullets, the shriek of the larger messengers of death. which cannon belched from fu- rious threats, the rush of cavalry, the massing and melting of the blue lines here and there, the charges and counter charges in which blue and gray mixed and intermingled like blotches of color upon a mighty palette, with which su- pernatural artists were painting his toric scenes. And soon there was crimson, wet and warm, in great blotches upon the palette, and shrieks punctuated the silenceslefto occasionally by the guns as they took breath for loud defiances constantly renewed.
 Here and there men in blue and gray fell writhing upon the earth, or moved no more, and into the faces of these crept the gray pallor in which is i'm pressed deeply upon human faces the mystic seal of death.
 Into this maelstrom of conflict swept the regiment to which Capt. Falconer belonged, carrying itself bravely, cross .ng steel with steel at the trenches, finding these foemen worthy of its ;nettle, hurled back again and again. but returning with thinner lines and more heroic endeavors, until its part and parcel of that red field was won. When evening came there was crimson in the sky mingled with gray, crimson marks on the earth, spotting blue and gray uniforms, crimson in the hos pital tents, where surgeons, employed l

 The first monument to be erected on the Shiloh battlefield has been erected by the Ninth Illinois Veterans asso- citation and will be unveiled during the annual reunion on May % and 30. The monument is made of Barre (ver- mont) granite and is feet long at the base, feet inches thick. The second base is feet by feet inches. The die is 4 feet inches wide, feet inches thick, 3 feet inches high. The cap is feet 10 inches long, 9 feet 4 inches wide and foot inches thick, making the monument 2 feet inches high and weighing 16,0O0 pounds. The cost was ,00O. It is a beautiful structure. On the cap is knapsack, crossed guns and a military cap with olive branch and oak leaves. On the front the monument is inscribed as follows: "Ninth Illinois Infantry Volunteers" On the reverse: "April G, 1SG2-Present for duty, 57s men; killed and died of wounds, 103; wounded, 263; total killed and wound- ed, 366." This was the heaviest loss sus- tained by any regiment in this or any other single battle of the war, accord ing to the number engaged. Gen. Jesse J. Phillips, the first colonel of the reg iment, and now one of the supreme judges of Illinois, will deliver the ora tion at the unveiling. Many other prom inent men will be present and deliver addresses during the two days reunion.
 The comrades living in the south will send 10000 White Cape jessamine flow CTS to place on the graves of 4,OOO heroes who sleep on the Shiloh battlefield. One hundred young ladies, 50 from the north and 50 from the south, will place these flowers on the graves and plant a flag at each grave.
 Senator Isham G. Harris, of Tennes- see, who was on the staff of Gen. AL bert Sidney Johnston, the commander of the confederate army at the battle of Shiloh, when Gen. Johnston was killed at two p. m. Sunday, April G, 1862, has located the correct place where Johnston was wounded and where he died. The location of the place has been in dispute ever since the battle. Senator Harris was at that time governor of Tennessee and was Q personal aid to the confederate com mander. He says Gen. Johnston led
