Dies with a Declaration of Innocence on His Lips.

Dannemora, N. Y., Feb. 12.—At 9:50 a. m. Tuesday in the death chamber at the penitentiary “Bat” Shea was clectrocuted for the murder of Robert Ross two years ago at Troy, N. Y. Shea dispiayed much firmness and with his iast breath protested his innocence.

Tlhe autopsy on the body of Shea showed n diseased condition of the lungs. Tuwerculosis had set in and he cow:d not have lived more than a few months at the utmost. The following letter from Shea was opened after .he execution: . :

“On the verge of death, I desire to say that I do not think I had a fair trial. Extraordinary means were taken to convict me, and testimony given by Mr, Lansing was absolutely untrue. I am sorry for Ross’ famil{ and for the gloom it has cast over them, but I did not go to the polls on election day to shoot Robert Ross, and had no intention of injuring him. I die for a crime I did not commit. I am an innocent man.- I bid you all farewel!.”, §

An inter\iew was held T'uesday alernoon with Convict John B. McGough, who five weeks ago confessed tha he, and not *But” Shea, killed Robert R-ss, MecGough still insists that he was the slayer and said: “l have made every reparatior possible, knowing that L killed Ross. In killing Shea, they have killed an ‘rnocent man. lam the iman who should have sat in that chair.” McGough made his statement calmly and without a tremecr. i . [Bartholomew Shea shot’and killed Robert Reoss on election day in the spring of 1894 at Troy, N. Y. William and Robert Ross were prominent republicans in Troy and had charge of the canvass of the ward in which they lived. Th(f]y became enseged in a fight with Shea, John McGough ana a number of their friends. Shea was arrested for the murder of Robert Ross and McGough was placed under arrest charged with assault in the first degree uvpon William Ross. Shea was sentenced to die last July and McGough was sentenced to 20 years in the penitentiary. The case was carried to the court of appeals, where Shea was beaten ußon the unanimous verdict of the court. Shea waas then resentenced to die during Christmagy week. Shea's wife and mother pleaded {‘-»crsonally with the governor to spare the ife of the prisoner until after the holidays, and the governor granted a respite until the second week in January. All arrangements had been made at that time for Shea’s death and the invitations to the witnesses were issued. :

At that time McGough confessed that he had murdered Ross, and pending an investigation the governor granted another respite to February 4. McGough’s confesgion was not substantiated by the facts in the case, and as a last recourse Shea made u¥p}i§:ation for a new trial, which was denied. :

As nearly as could be judged, about half the democrats voted against the senate substitute, and the republican vote in favor of it was about 30, In the course of the consideration of the bill, under the five-minute rule, | which lasted from 12 to 4 o’clock the following proposed amendments wemf lost by the votes stated: By Mr. Long | (rep., Kan.) to coin the product of the | mines of the United States only—llBto | 41; by Mr. Brumm (rep., Pa.), providing that whenever the commercial ratio of the two metals shall vary from the coinage ratio, the seigniorage shal! be retained by the government—Bs to 495 by Mr. Towne (rep., Minn.), com- | mitting the United States to the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 1514 to| 1, whenever Germany or France open their mints for the same purpose—l4¢, to 52. o !

Washington, Feb. 15. — I'he senate refused by a vote of 29 to 21 to take up the house tariff bill, with the free coinage substitute, and that measure continues to remain on the_ vice presidént's desk.

A LYNCHING IN ILLINOIS. Mob Murders Grant Atterbury for an Alleged Assault on His Sister-in-Law. . Sullivan, 111., Feb. 13.—Grant Atterbury was taken from the jail here at 12:25 Wednesday morning, dragged to the court house in his night robe and hanged to a tree. " At 11:30 Tuesday night a mob of but 15 men collected near the big school. T'hey were fully armed and carried 'sledge hammers. Few people knew of the meeting and none thought Atterbury would be lynched. The mob acted fuickly and marched directly from the schoolhouse to the jail, which was protected by the sheriff and one deputy. ITere the demand for Atterbury was refused, and then the door was knocked iu with sledge hammers. The sheriff feigned resistance, apparently, and fired his pistol in the air. [n the meantime crowds of people began gathering about the jail, but no attempt was made to help the sherifl. After the sheriff fired his revolver the 'scene was exciting and lively. Atterbury was dragged from his cell, amid the howls of the other prisone:s lin the jail, who were badly frightenal. Atterbury resisted with all his strength, and much trouble was ex‘perienced in getting him downstairs, He fought I'ke a demon for his liie, but he was finally overcome. When the prisoner was brought out the excitement of the mob was fearfully inTense. Atterbury was then taken up to the courthouse yard, two blocks away. There was a perfect fusillade of pistoi shots. The mob seemed frenzied and was beyond any control, and showed no sympathy. :

' Underthetreetowhich he washanged, | Atterbury began to realize fully that he was to die. He pleaded piteously for his life, amid cries of “Hang hiw! Hang him!” He protested his innocence. . :

This was the second attempt made by 2 mob to get Atterbury for the purpose of lynching him. The evidencc against him was very strong. T'he morning after the crime on Mrs. Roxv Atterbury was committed bloodhounds were brought to the scene, and three different times they went directly to the house of Grant Atterbury. Another party was suspected, but has not yet been found. Atterbury was a brother-in-law of Mrs. Roxy Atterbury, and it is thought he committed the crime for the purpose of revenge, Mrs. Atterbiry having given some very damaging testimony against him when he was on trial, together with her husband, for the murder of their father, a little more than a year ago.

11. THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER.—Vs. 4-15, This parable in two ways encourages faith. If some of the good seed sown by the Master Himself falls cn rocky soil, amid thorns, or by the wayside, there is no reason for His disciples to be discouraged under the same circumstances. This parable, also, is the prophecy and promises of a large harvest from the seed sown.

111. THE RELATIONS OF JESUS.—VSs. 19-21. From this brief incident we gain twoencouragements tofaith. Even Jesus had to encounter opposition in His mission; not only from enemies, but from His dearest friends. Yet He went on and succeeded. Faith is encouraged by the knowledge that we stand in the nearest and dearest relation to Jesus. All true Christians are brothers and sisters of Christ, and heirs with Him of God, His Father. His riches are their riches; His joys, their joys; His character, their character; His home, their home. IV. THE TEMPEST STILLED.—Vs. 2225. It is a great help to our faith to know, by actual exhibition of ' His power, that our Saviour is ruler over all the forces of nature, that not even a sparrow can fall without our Father, that amid countless diseases and dangers on every side, yet our Father holds them in His loving hands. All the diseases, oppressions, cruelties, gnawings of conscience, lives without hope and hearts without rest, are part of the tempest raised by sin. Christ, by His forgiving love, says: “Peace, be still,” for all that call on Him, and arches over them a bow of peace.

V. THE GADARENE DEMONIAC.—Vs. 26-36. Even what we often term “the most hopeless casés” may at the word of Divine power be ever afterward found “at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind.” ‘

VI. ToucHinGg THE HEM OF His GARMENT.—Vs. 43-48. The faith of the woman of whom this story is told was real, though imperfect and superstitious. That in all three accounts is mentioned the fact that she had been for 12 years in the condition in which we find her shows how hopeless her case seemed. She touched the border of his garment, or fringe of an outer shawl-like mantle, because she thought that in- this way she might be healed without any publicity, which she desired to avoid.

“And Jesus (turning around) said: Who touched me?” -The disciples were astonished at the question. Tkecrowd was so great that He was being constantly pressed on all sides. The disciples had not learned that “Flesh presses, faith touches,” as Augustine once finely said. But Christ knew, for the healing was His own act, and “she came trembling, and falling down before Him, she declared unto Him before all the people for what cause she had touched Him, and how she was healed immediately.” This public confession was ancther step in her complete cure. Christ sssured her that not superstition, not any power residing in a garment, nor any power residing n a physical touch; but faith, a spiritual act of the soul, had made her whole, -

VII. Rarsing JAIRTS' DAUGHTER.— Vs. 41, 42, 49-55.—This is a case of faith encouraged in the grcatest cxtremity. Jairus was a ruler of the synagogue, one of the leading laymen, something like our trustees, who had general charge of the synagogue, its services and its schools. Hisdaughter was very sick, nigh unto death. Jairus went to Jesus and besought Him to come to his house and restore hi: davghter. He had not quite the faith of the Roman centurion. Jesus might have healed the daughter without coming to the house. Then comes the news that this daughter is dead. Why trouble the Master further? But Jesus said: “Believe only, and she shall be made whole.” There was no limit to Christ’s power; the only danger was that Jairus’ faith should fail. God’s power and love are so great that the largest demands on them are met as easily as the smallest.

Being Sympathetic.

To be sympathetic is more than an act.. It is a state, a condition, a veritable trait of character. The man who lives outside of himself, lives in the spirit of others. He is not merely a bearer of their burdens, a sufferer of their paing, but he encourages them, uplifts them to joyousness. Weeping with them that weep does not forbid bhim from rejoicing with them that rejoice. He goes out to his neighbor, not &t a call to duty, but on an impulse from love.—S. 8. Times. i
