Roney, the notorious rough and ex-convict, was murdered Thursday night at Springfield by Ed. Flaherty, superintendent of a department of the watch factory. The shooting was done in a saloon near the Rolling Mill addition, kept by one Jim Durkin. There about 11 o'clock Thursday night were congregated a lot of roughs, among whom were Owen Roney, his brother Albert, Thomas and Henry Gee, Dan Donnelley, Fd. Flaherty and George Ford.

The Gees and Roneys were cousins. Durkin asked the Rooneys and Gees to drink with him and the invitation was accepted. Another round was drunk and a dispute occurred as to who should pay. Durkin demanded the money of Tom Gee, but he refused to pay. Durkin then shouted that he was the best man in Springfield and that he would make Gee pay or whip him.

Gee pulled his coat to tight, but he prudently refrained when Ed Flaherty pushed the muzzle of a revolver in his face and told him to keep quiet.

A Talmage, general manager of the Wabash system, was. in Chicago Wednesday, and in conversation with a reporter took exceptions to the statements published that the Wabash road had taken back a number ot the strikers.

This was untrue, he said. Talmage then showed a telegram from P. Flanegan, agent of the road at St Louis, which read as follows: "None of our strikers on either side of the river have returned, and none will be allowed to return unless you give such orders.

They wait their turns for cars to load, and are unable to earn more than an av erage of $1 per diem, since they are unemployed about half of the time when they are in the mine. They are very anxious for the work of street paving to begin, as they believe that a part of them might obtain employment on the excavating. The mana gers of the mine are hopeful of a revival in trade, and expect that a con siderable addition to the amount of coal used will result after the new mine is opened. As yet only 30 or 40 men are employed there, but it is hoped that there will be more work for the miners before long. A Curiosity.

L. Fleury has a curiosity in his show window. It is a little motor which operates through the agency of an electrical current from a battery which is concealed beneath the floor of the show window. The trick of it all is that after the motor is taken apart one fails to see any wires to connect, the current with the motor, since the posts supporting the motor are of wood. But a close examination proves them to be hollow and filled with copper dust, which con ducts the current readily.

A mirror at the end of the motor is really only a sham, and its Bole service is to give weight sufficient to keep the connecting nails firmly imbedded in the copper dust. The motor is altogether quite a curiosity, and has been observed and wondered at by many. "All Men Are Liars," said David of old. He was probably prompted to make the above remark after ttying some unreliable catarrh remedy. Had he been permitted to live until the present day, and tried Dr.

Sage's Remedy, he might have had a better opinion of mankind. We claim that no case of catarrh can withstand the magic effects of this wonderful medicine. One trial of it will convince you of its efficacy. By druggists; fifty cents. Jersey Milk.

Is, or what it is possible row and had been knocked down ty George Ford. As he attempted to rise Flaherty placed the muzzle of his revolver near his head and fired.

Rooney fell back dead, the ball having entered his left eye and penetrated the brain. As soon as he fired Flaherty made a jnmp for the door, reached it, pulled it to after him and disappeared in the darkness. As he left the door another shot was heard and the glass door of the saloon was broken by a beer glass which struck Tom Gee in the head knocking him down. By this time the room was cleared of all except the Gees, Albert Roney and the dead man. Later Money's body was removed to an undertaking establishment where an inquest was held.

The jury found that Rooney had come to his death at Flaherty's hands iu the manner described above. Flaherty is well-known in Spring field, and has been an employe of the Watch Jbactory for several years. When sober he has the reputation of being peaceable, but drink makes demon of him. in three or four in stances lately he has drawn his re volver with murderous intent Roney, his victim, went from De catur to East St. Louis with two other roughs about the time that the situation pointed to the approach ofJ a collision between the strikers and the authorities, but when the militia was ordered to the scene and there was no longer any hope that the law less element might rule Roney went to bpnngheld.

Flaherty has not been captured. Base Ball Xotice.
