"belbx- Special Cor. ot the Newa and Observer. Sblbt, N. 0., Dee. 28, 1886. Last Sunday morning the oommunity waa greatly shocked by the suioide of Mr. Harrison Hall, a prominent eitisen of Shelby. Mr. Hall had a stroke of paralysis about a month ago and had been taking large quantities of chloral sinee that time. Oa Sanday morning, junt after he arose from bed, he asked his wife for the bottle of ohloral, but she refused to give it to him, saying that he had had enough. Mr. Hall then stated that he was going to kill himself, and walked into the next room. His wife followed him, but before she eould reach him, he had pulled oat a revolver and ahot himself in the back of his head. Medical assistance was has tily summoned, bat the woand was fatal, Mr. Hall dying in half an hour after he had fired the shot. Ever since his ill neea, a month ago, Mr. Hall had been more or less out of bis mind and had threatened to kill himself several times. All the fire arms had been sent out of the house. Oa Saturday Mr. Hall was up town and borrowed a pis tol fr cm a friend stating that he was troubled with rats at bis house and he wanted to have some fun shooting them. Mr. Hall wss a native of New York city and had been living in Shelby for four or five years. He was an enthusi astic sportsman. Mr. Hall was 38 years of age and leaves a widow and five children. , His remains were buried this afternoon from bis late residence, Bev. W. H. Strickland officiating. Peraeaal.

A spread of fresh fallen snow covered the ground this morning and the skies were over cast and f ombre. At the Logan mansion all preparations for the removal of the dead statesman had been perfected dur ing tbe night. The remains still lay in the ohamber where the general died, but had been plaoed in the casket, an elabor ate receptacle, wbosd ' hermetic inner oasing of copper was concealed by its quilted lining of creamy satin, and whose plate glass top not yet in position was designed to reveal the entire length of the form within. A rquare plate of silver in the middle of the cover bears the inscription, "John A. Logan, United States Senator. Born February Clth 182fi Tliol Ttwntir 9Ah 1SSA Floral pillows with funeral legends, crosses and anchors and other appropri ate emblems were plaoed near the casket and about the room . At 11 o'clock the undertaker and his assistants withdrew, when the immediate family were summoned, and for a brief tune they wereleft alone with their d?d At an early hour this morning workmen were busily engaged in draping the vast rotunda or the capitol in mourning, and in erecting the bier, upon which were to rest the remains of the dead Senator. Upon this bier have lain in atate Presi dents Lincoln and Garfield, ehief justice l hase and representative Tbr d Stevens The heavy blaek drapery with which it is covered, however, has been previously used but en one occasion. It was found in one of the Senate crypts, with an inscription attached to it statisw that it had covered the bier on which presi dent Lincoln wss laid instate, aid it was thought appropriate that it should serve the same sad effice for another dia tinguishe d son of Illinois. The eon greraional committee took for mal charge of the remains.the sergeant-at-arms superintended the closing of the easket and its alow and or derly removal from the chamber of death, down the broad stairway, between the lines of the uncovered escort u, d its placing in the hearse.

WASHiHoroK, December 30th. As early as 10 o'clock 500 persons had assembled in the rotunda of the capitol, although it waa not expected that the remains of Senator Logan would be laid in atate until 12.30 p. m. At noon the crowd had swollen to 1,000 and patiently waited the arrival of the funeral cortege which did not reach the capitol until after half past one. The interior of the vast dome was tastefully draped; and upon the spot where many who have made their mark in Amerioan his troy have lain in state, rested the bier prepared to receive the casket con taining the remains of the dead senator. As the furneral procession approaohed the east front of the capitol, the doors of the rotunda were opened and the as semblage uncovered and stood in re spectful silenoc. The eemmittec and honoiary pall-bearers filed in, forming j as they halted double lines, between which the easket was borne to its place of state. Then the pall-bearers retired and the spectators were requested to Withdraw. When at 'Z o'olock the doors were again opened, the lid of the easket had been removed. Military guards of honor fully t uniformed and accoutred, stood at rest at the head and foot and on either side of the casket, while line? of Grand Army men were drawn up from door to door, between which the people pasaed to view the remains. Terrible Fate of a lrL Ntw York, Deo. 80. A young Ital ian girl named Latorre met with a hor rible death on the elevated railroad this morning. She wss upon a station plat form accompanied by a sister, waiting for a train. The girls were engaged in lively conversation when one, turn ing around, suddenly slipped of the platform to the track in front of the train which was but fifteen feet away. The engineer did not aee. her, but heard her saretm and reversed his en gine instantly, but the tracks were slip pery with ice and the front wheels and one driving wheel had passed over the body before the train stopped. The girl waa crushed into a shapeless mass and wedged between the driving wheels. The body could not be reoovered with out raising the engine After half an hour's work, the engine was raised enough to draw out the icdy. The track in the meantime was blocked with trains for over two miles to the tei mi nus. Tlta Xxpreaa staabory. St. Lotjis, Dec. 30. Robert Pinker ton says all the accomplices in the rob bery have boon eaptured. Five men are under arrest and Mrs. Height. Be ing asked if Fotheringham was guilty hekreplied: "I am not ready to aay. I prepared the evidenoe for the grand jary and he was indioted. Draw your own conclusion." Oscar Cook made a confession yester day, in whioh he stated that Fotherihg ham know all about the plan to rob his ear, and was a willing victim to the at taek of the robbers. It is said he waa promised $10,000 of the amount stolen as his share of the booty, and thatsum was part of the money whioh Fred wit rock sent to his mother for safe keep ing. A special frcaa Kansas City states that it was the intention of the eonspiratora to rob the ear on the night of Oct. . 22. and that the fi st "J'm Cemmings" letter was written before that time and dated on that dty. On that night, hew ever, there was not enough money in the ear to pay the robbers for their trouble, and this plan was not finally carried out until the 25th. Shou'd these statements be borne out by the frets in the case, Fotheringham will doubtless ace m pan y his fellow conspirators to the peniten tiary. Tar Bet Is la Alabama.

From what can be learned it ia net expected of the general assembly to take any action in the way of interfering With the judgement ot the courts. .
