HoAG oIscHARGeo-sHsA HELD.
The Celebrated Shea Bribery Case Hearing
Concluded At Fall River.

Fall River. Mass, Sept. 2.-The Shea
hearing was concluded, this afternoon,
the last government witness being
Detective Clarity who gave the num-
bers OF marked bills on the Providence
National Bank and the Third National
Bank Of Boston.
Counsel Cummings asked for the dis
charge Of Hoag on the ground of gem
eral lack of evidence. arguing that the
only evidence against him consisted of
alleged conversation of others while he
was not present He also asked for the
discharge of both from insufficiency of
proof.
Counsel Milton Reed, for the prose-
cution, argued that Shea was powerless
TO carry out the conspiracy alone, other
votes being necessary. Mr.. farnham
had consulted the highest official in the
county before entering upon the work.
The court said that while Shea and
Iloag apparently were very friendly.
the man who was seeking the money
was apt to represent that he could con-
troll more than was actually the case.
He found no evidence OF conspiracy
against either, but Shea did receive
money as bride.
Hoag was discharged on all counts.
and Shea was held In $4,000 for the
grand jury. which Will meet at Taun-
ton next month. The other cases. in

A CASE OF FUSION.
Nebraska Silver Republicans. Democrats and
Populists Unite on ] ]. Sullivan.

Lincoln. Neb.. Sept. 2.--As predicted
mt the start by the party leaders. the
three parties, Democratic. Populist and
Silver Republicans joined hands in flu
sion and the ticket placed in the field
is: For supreme judge. John ]. Sulli-
man. Democratic. Columbus; for state
university regents. +. Won Forell of
kearney. Populist. and George +.
REMOVER of Wisner. Silver Republican.
Many delegates maintain that the fu-
sion was perfectly harmonious. while
there are others who claim that there
may yet be dissension on the Silver
Republican side as about one-third OF
those delegates went home early this
morning before fusion was effected.
For a while in the three conventions,
this morning, it looked rather precari-
Gus for harmony. as the Silver Repub
licans had a very warm time. a number
of the "Middle-of-the Road" delegates
talking in favor of the nomination of
a straight ticket in order to preserve
that organization. Finally it was an
nounced that the Democrats and Silver
Republicans had agreed upon John J.
Sullivan for supreme judge and signs
of fusion began to appear. Even then
it was not until Judge Neville urged
the endorsement of Mr.. Sullivan that
the Populists gave in.
