It was proved on the trial that Colonel Cash goaded his adversary to chal lenge him, and went to the "field of honor" with a set purpose to kiil Col- Shannon. The final plea of the Stale's Attorney was very powerful, and the charge of Judge Pres.-ly bore strongly against the accused. The most reput able newspapers had strongly con demned the killing of Colonel Shannon, and done all in their power to turn public opinion against the murderer.

He claims damages in the sum of S3OOO and our Court allowed a capias to is.-for defendant and fixed the bail at 32.000. Harbison was arrested ami gave bail.

ArrtKi ol W lit it*. On Tuesday night ol Inst week, be tween the hours of eleven and twelve, Chas. Eagan, a man well known in this vicinity and who for some years has been in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph Co., as repairman, received bis death wound from a knife in the hands of William White, a boiler maker by trade, and who for some years carried on business at Mil lerstown. The affray happened in a drinking saloon or bottling bouse in Millers town, and seems to have been the cul mination of a:i old feud between tbe two men, who had quarreled and come to blows before. On the evening in question, both men hail been drinking, and it appears from the evidence given at the inquest that Eagan attacked White, pushed him ayainst a wall and was pounding him with his fists, when White who seems to have been expecting an at tack and had armed himself with a penknife with a long, sharp blade, cut him several times in the right arm and side, without inflicting a fatal wound. The two men were then separated by the others in the room, but Eagan again attacked White, who again cut him, this time in the left groin, sever ing a large artery and causing his death in a few minutes. White lingered about the town for several hours alter the affray and, strange to say, was not arrested. lie then disappeared, and no clue to his whereabouts was known till Sun day morning when an unsigned note was put in the hands of the two police men of East Brady, giving them to understand that he could be found in UP. oil well shanty on the Baruhart farm, a mile west of Millc-retown. That afternoon, the two men drove over to Millerstown, where they se? cured the services of some persons ac quainted with the premises, went to the farm and searched the shanties on it without finding him, and were about to leave, when bearing that there was still another shanty on t he farm, they went to it. White was there and at the time was co<>kin<r some coffee. Seeing the men coming be jumped through a window and ran, followed closely by the men, who fired their revolvers, and called to him to stop. This he did. when be was brought to Butler and lodged in jail, arriving here about eleven o'clock that night. Our County Commissioners had of fered a reward of S2OO for the arrest of White, a day or two after the affair, and this on Saturday was, at the sug gestion of Judge Bredin, increased to SSOO, and wo understand that there were also snnie private rewards offered which will increase the whole amount to about The East Brady men are said to belong to the Pinkerton Agency, and this wiil be quite a nice haul for them. The body of Eagan was taken to Columbus, Ohio, for interment. lie was a large muscular man, weighing over two hundred pound', while White is rather a small man. Both men were married and had families living in Millerstown. The ease may be brought before the Grand Jury this week, but it i* not at al! probable that it will be tried next.

A. P. Holland, sworn: I reside in Millcrs town ; am working at the Ocean bottling house; White came in the house about eleven o'clock, p. m.. March Ist; Easan was sitting at a table when White came in; he was sitting about the middle of the room. White came in the front door and walked by the bar and back to where Eagan was; some words passed between all parties that I don't remember; White hollered out, "danger." and seemed a little nervous ; I expected there was going to be some trouble, and commenced to close up the house; I thought by the actions of White there would be trouble ; I had the lamps in the back of the iooin blown out anil I was blowing oxt the lamps behind the bar; I was interfered with; then White came e.p to the bar and asked for a bottle of beer; think Eagan walked up to the bar at this time ; think White asked him to take a drink of beer ; Eagan reached out to "get it; White poured it out and -dapped the bottle down on the bar; think White then nsk<d me if he paid for it, and I said no; White then threw a half dollar on the bar; after I gave h'm change 1 went to the outside of the bar and told them all to keep quiet; there wasn't much noise but Rilly was giving some toasts; I think En sail remarket! that White was going to liek hi"i ; Eagan said to White, "If you are going to liek me put- up yo>ir knife;" White said he didn't have any knife; White had his band i:i lii« poc!:ct at the time; Wirt# pi'lled his hand out of his coat pocket and said he didn't have any knife; 1 cnught White by the shouMer and pushed him to one side; White was nervous and white in the .ace ; he appeared to be excited and angry; they seemed to become quiet and then I think I went behind the bar; ll:e next I saw of them thev were clinched and in tlui middle t.f tap floor; don't know which ope made toe ; Engiin then shoved White into a corner back ward ; just at Ilia: I saw White sinke over handed at Eatan and saw n<<met!>:ng in his hand like a knife; Eagan hollowed, "he is eulting rue;" don't know how many times While struck Eagan this way; then I saw- White strike Eagan from nil und*r cut. tliink with the left hand; |;:i:;an men eaileii ''police;' -1 1 tan to Ihe front door to get out, rnd couldn't git out llie front door Win.
