given, that all those desiring, may
view the remains of the Chief Magis-
trate. The line has formed, and peo-
pie are passing in single file through

stationed at each side of the entrance,
to prevent more than one person en-
tering at a time. The casket is very
unpretentious, being covered with a
black cloth, and with the exception Of
the silver mountings, is perfectly
plain. The only decoration is a large
"V" shaped sago palm, which extends
from the foot of the casket upwards.
The remains are lying in one Of the
rooms on the first floor Of the cottage,
and people pass in at the east door and
without stopping, out at the west

PRORARLE PATRICIDE.
ARFOtheF ofthe Notorious George Weir
ofat. ClairHyille, Strikes His Father q
Probably Fatal BLOW.

Il
efaL ClairSyille, Strikes His Father q
Probably Fatal BLOW.
Parties arriving in the city last evening
brought the details Of a sad and shocking
affair which occurred at st. ClairsvIlle on
Saturday evening about dark, by which the
venerable and well known General James
Weir will probably lose his life at the hand
OF proaigate son. General Weir Is the
father OF George Weir, the murderer OF Ster-
ling Riggs, who Is now in jail at St. Glars
vile.
The once numerous family at present con-
sist OF the General, who Is an intirm old
two sons, James, the oldest, young man OF
perhaps So years Of age and formerly diSsi-
pated characters George, 81 years ofage, with
whose history the public are familiar, and u
little girl, Ada, u years old and a bright
child.
There beingn female in the family to take
charge OF little Ada James conceived the
idea ofindenturingher to u family in ST. Glars
vile, and on Saturday he had the papers
drawn up, and in the evening presented
them to his father to sign. This the father
refused TO do, and war OF words followed,
whereup0n James, In his anger, struck his
father us he says with his fist, powerful
blow, telling him to the iloorand fractnring the
frontal bone, breaking his nose, rupturing u
small blood vessel, and causing conclusion
Of the brain. He was rendered insensible,
and has remained in that condition with, US
the physicians claim, no possible hope for
his recovery.
James assisted in caring for his father for
two or three hours, admitting to everyone
who called the circumstances already stated;
but when he found that he had In all human
probability given his aged father fatal
blow, he changed his clothing and took his
departure for parts unknown, leaving tho old
father to BIO cared for entirely by strangers
hands. Great indignation Is expressed on all
sides ut the local officers that no attempt was
made to arrest Weir, us they were notified
shortly after the sad affair occurred, and
grossly neglected to do their duty, seeming to
fear the dangerous character of the assailant
Three or four policemen were within one
hundred yards OF the Weirs' house, and were
urged to make the arrest, yet never made q
move until Weir had made good his escape
Such officers should step down and out, and
make room for those who are not afraid to do
their duty under the plain letter Of the law.
When told OF the occurrence, George Weir
expressed great sorrow for his father, and
anger against his brother.
