Bj Declared Bis Innocence The Midland Congress. Dannemoba, N. Y., Feb. 11. Murder er Bat Shea was executed at the prison at 9 :5S this morning. Bartholomew Shea died in the electric al chair, paying the penalty for the murder of Robert Boss, at Troy, in March, 1894. Shea was attended to the gallows by a clergyman from bis home and a priest from the Roman Catholic church at this place. After receiving the last sacrament Shea declared he was innocent. While the priest read the first voltage was turned on. It was 9 :55 when Shea entered the room and 9 :59? when he was pronounced dead. The current sent the body lightly against the straps. The ' neck and bared leg grew purple. For 31 seconds the contact was maintained and then reduced to a light voltage for 31 seconds, when the current was turned off. There was an escape of air from the filled lungs and Ransom ordered the current on again. A contact of 27 sec onds was maintained and then the steth oscope tailed to show any life. The es cape of air from the lungs sounded like a prolonged sign, and made some people think there was life, but the physicians said death was instantaneous.

Carter, a retired sergeant of the United States army, was found dead last night in his room in the Palmer house. Death was caused by asphyxiation, but it is not thought he committed suicide. One gas jet in the room was turned on full and anothe.- at half pressure. In a belt worn by Carter around his waist there was $1,400. He also had some valuable jew elry. How the gas came to be turned on is a mystery, as it is supposed Carter was acquainted with its use. No motive for self-destruction is apparent and the case is one which Coroner McHale will make a thorough investigation of. -L.ast ween a man Irom .reoria was found dead in h'is room under exactly the same circumstances. The coroner's jury returned a veidict of accidental death. Carter had the distinction of having served 23 years with the 7th cavalry, General Custer's old regiment. He par ticipated in a dozen engagements with hostile Indians and earned a record as a brave soldier on the frontier. He was honorably discharged from the 6th regi ment at Fort- Meyer, Va., last July and since has been traveling. He arrived in Chicago Sunday night from Albuquer que. About 9 o'clock he entered the Palmer house and engaged a room. He told the clerk he was on his way to Washington, looking for a man who had extorted money from him. Carter was in the rotunda until 11 o'clock, when he went to his room. He told the clerk he did not want to be called. There was no suspicion of anything wrong until the chambermaid failed to get an answer to her vigorous knocking on the door of Carter's room. One of the porters was called, and upon opening the transom a flood of eras poured into the corridor. On entering the room he found Carter dead. .Life bad been extinct tor several hours. - -. A. Good Company. FT The Georgia University graduates gave a good performance last night at the lyceum to a fall house, one of the fea tures being the singing ot the Suanee River quartette, which was considered the best quartette that has ever visited Duluth. The minstrelsy was clean and neat and contained less objectional matter ' than moet shows of the kind. Pub. Watkins, the ventriloquist, was the best we ever saw. There are some very clever dancers among the company. On the whole, they gave the best min strel ehow we have attended in a long time. From Duluth News, Sept. 4th. At opera house Saturday, Feb. 15th.
