Owen Roney Murdered. captured. Base Ball Notice. Owen W. 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 8 saloon near the Rolling Mill addition, kept by one Jim Durkin. There about 11 o'clock Thursday night were congregated 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 8 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 fight, but he prudently retrained when Ed Flaherty pushed the muzzle of a revolver in his face and told him to keep quiet.

Meantime Owen Roney had joined in the row and had been knocked down ty George Ford. attempted to rise Flaherty placed the muzzle of his revolver near 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 and the dead man. Later Roney's, body was removed to 80 undertaking establishment where an inquest Was held. The jury found that Rooney had come to his death at Flaberty's hands in the manner described above. Flaherty is well-known in Springfield, and has been an employe of the Watch Factory, for, several years. When sober he has the reputation of being peaceable, but drink makes a demon of him.

In three or four instances lately he has drawn his revolver with murderous intent. Roney, his victim, went from Decatur to East St. Louis with two other roughs about the time that the situation pointed to the approach of 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 lawto Springfield.

17-2t Short of Work. The coal miners complain that the dullness of coal trade has reduced their earnings to a low ebb. Many miners have gone away, and of the 85 who remain, one goes down into the shaft every other day. They wait their turns for cars to load, and are unable to earn more than an average of $1 per diem, since they are unemployed about half of the time when they are in mine. They are very anxious for the work of street paving to begin, as they believe that a ment part of the them might excavating.

obtain The on gers of the mine are hopeful of a revival in trade, and expect that a considerable 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 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 conducts the current readily. A mirror at the end of the motor is really only a sham, and its sole service is to give weight sufficient to keep the connectnails firmly imbedded in the copper dust. The motor is altogether quite a curiosity, and has been observed and wondered at by many.
