Killed in a St, Louis Barnio,

ST. LOUIS, April 3.-Just before o'clock
this morning a bloody tragedy was enacted
at the house OF Mrs. Theresa Prettyman, l, 125
Pine street Albert or Burt Wing shot and
killed Joe Glenn, clerk in dry goods
store, in the presence of Essie Davis, woman
of the town. Wing and the woman came
here short time ago from Greenvile KY,
and Davis became an inmate of the house of
Matte Roberts. Here she made the ac-
quaintance of Glenn. The latter yesterday
engaged rooms at Prettyman's, and late in
the evening Glenn and Davis went there.
Wing had become jealous of Glenn, who
divided the woman's affections with him,
and went to the house and found them to-
gether He upbraided Glenn for his treach-
cry, and suddenly pulled revolver and
shot him twice in the head, killing him
almost instantly, Wing rushed from the
house, but was soon arrested. The Davis
woman was also lodged in the calaboose.
Wing claims that the shooting was done in
self-defense; that Glenn drew the revolver
that struggle for its possession ensued; that
he secured it and fred. But the woman
SAYS that Wing shot Glenn deliberately. The
whole party lived at Greensboro, Ky. The
real name of the woman is said to be Mary
caves.
Albert Wing is younger brother of Hon.
e. Rumsey Wing, who was United States
minister to Ecuador under Grants admins
tration. Joe Glenn was the son OF tobac-
conist of Carrollton, XIV, and Mary caves,
alias Davis, is a daughter of Judge Eaves, OF
that place. She is Mrs. Ringo, but has left
her husband and two children. She now
confirms the story of the killing as told by
Wing.

Lafayette Courier.

Rev. Father Joseph, Of st. Mary's Church,
was surprised last night by the receipt of a
telegram from Bishop Dwenger of Fort
Wayne announcing that the College OF Car
dinals at Rome had appointed him bishop
of the diocese OF Nashville Tenn. This was
unwelcome news to Father Joseph, who has
become very much attached to the members
of his congregation, and to whom he has be-
come very much erdeared by the faithful
and INSCRIPTIONS discharge of his duty, his
unassuming and kindly disposition and his
many qualities of head and heart. He has
no desire to assume the honors thrust upon
him, and will return the bull containing his
appointment. together with his reasons why
he should not be removed from his present
charge 1t is hardly likely, however. that
the college will reconsider their decision
which they have been two years arriving at
three names having been sent from the
archbishopric at Cincinnati for their consid-
Grafton. His appointment is TO fill the va
cancy occasioned by the appointment of
Bishop Feehan archbishop of Chicago. AS
much as the friends of Father Joseph, whose
names are legion, will grieve to lose him, we
fear they must make up their minds to do So
and as he bids them for the last time good
bye he shall have just reason to feel that he
will not be forgotten or his labor lost. He
He has endeared himself to all who have
come within his wholesome influence, and
his memory shall be in their hearts as pearls
set in casket.

that the entire Democratic city ticket would

amount of scratching. The majority for
Harrison grew with every return almost. At

Summing Up the Work Accomplished BY
the Legislature.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
SPRINGFIELD, April 3.-The Legislature be-
ing now in vacation, on account of the spring
elections, to resume work again Wednesday,
this is good time to sum up the work of
three-months' legislation. There have been
1853 bills introduced in both houses, and of
these 222 have never been seen since they
were referred to committees. OF the forty
five bills which have successfully run the
gauntlet of the Senate, four have got through
the House unchanged, and two of these still
await the Governors signature-namely, the
Peoria bridge bill and the bill to reimburse
Mound City for expenditures in improving
and strengthening the levees at that place
The other two, both signed are first, one for
the better regulation and security of school
funds loaned out, and. second, one appropri-
ating 5000 for the relief of Rose clare, Har-
din county. on account of losses by the Ohio
river floods.
Twenty-one House bills have reached the
Senate and six of these have gone to the
Governor for his signature. They are as fol-
lows: The bill providing for the incidental
expenses of the Legislature; the bill amend
ing the act to authorize cities, towns and vii
lagos to establish and maintain free public
libraries; the bill for the relief of the fami-
lies OF coal-miners at Braidwood $50 o0O) and
Coulterville ($2, 000G the bill appropriating
$4,000 for the relief of the inhabitants of
Shawneetown and Gallatln county; the bill
for better defining the law relative to the du-
ties of county treasurers, and the bill to ex-
tend the jurisdiction of county courts and
to regulate the practice in them. All these
have received the Governors signature ex-
cept the last named.
Of the bills yet remaining in the House
there are over fifty on first reading and more
than $50 on second reading, while nearly 200
are still in the hands of committees. There
are $40 Senate bills in the different stages of
passage or defeat, less than a dozen of which
have reached a third reading; forty-six are
on the order of second reading and small
number on first reading heavy batch being
still in committees hands.
The weight of committee work has already
been done and there are symptoms OF a dis
position to do more work in the sessions
than heretofore. The regular hour for meet
ing has been changed from 10 A. NJ. to $50,
and afternoon sessions will be held regularly
after this week,
