William Staple Accidentally Shot While
Talking With Friend.
William Staple, of Arlington avenue,
was shot in the neck last night at South
Thirtieth street by Frank Rubincon and
dangerously wounded. He was taken to
Zeigler's drugstore, where Drs. Bahaussr
and Kerr attended him. The ball was
probed for and found to be located IN the
Heshy part of the neck just behind the ear
Though the patient was bleeding profusely,
the ball was removed The physicians had
much trouble in stopping the flow of blood,
as the ball had entered below the ear Just
grazing the jugular vein, and piercing some
of the smaller blood vessels.
When the accident happened Mr. Staple
was standing on the street talking to a
friend. Frank Rubincon with a companion
were shooting at mark with a hobert rifle
short distance away. One OF the balls
glanced, taking effect in Staples neck.
Frank Rubincor, as soon as he learned of
the accident, ran down to Carson street, and
was afterward arrested in Carter's saloon by
Officer Brannan. He will be given hear
ing this morning,

SEEKING FOR A SITE.

The Free Bridge Committee Makes q Tour
of Inspecrion-Talk About Buying the
Old Tenth Street Bridge-The Twenty
Second Street LeGation.
Several members of the Committee on
Free Bridges accompanied Chief Bigelow
yesterday on trip along the south bank OF
the Monongahela river to inspect the sites
available for free bridges. They made their
first stop at the foot of South Fifth street,
then at South Eighth, Tenth, Twenty-sec-
ond and Twenty-fifth streets Not much
time was given up to the inspection. After
the members returned they had little to
say. Messrs. Anderson and Ford were
favorable to the South Twenty-second street
location, and Fox and Bigham were favor
able either to the Fifth or Eighth street
sites, Robertson favored Eighth street and
the balance of the committee were favor
able to the purchase of the Tenth street
bridge =: a reasonable figure.
Alter discussing the merits of the various
sites q few moments, the committee ad-
iourned with the understanding that Chief
Bigelow will have prepared plans showing
the necessary approaches to a bridge at
each of the locations visited, and submit
them to the next meeting of the committee
In the meantime subcommittee to which
has been given the task of ascertainlng
what the cost to the city would be of exist
ing bridges, will get ready to report.
Chief Bigelow is openly in favor OF eitheS
buying the Tenth street bridge, or Of buildS
ing q new one at South Twenty-second
street. ''The Tenth street BRIDGE" he
says, sis practically falling down. No re-
pairs worth mentioning have been made on
it fer long time, and we should be able to
buy it at low figure. The location is a
good one at the present time, being con-
venient to large section of that part OF the
city. But the Twenty-second street site
will prove the best in the long run. While
1t may not be as satisfactory to South
siders Just now, it will only be
few wears until it will be
far more convenient for them than any
other. By it they could get TO almost any
place on this side, east or west, in the
quickest time and by the most pleasant
route. / am not in iavor of bridge below
Tenth street at this time. One further up
will be of greater benefit to the people on
both sides OF the river for the present than
even the Smthfeld street bridge. OF course
it would not be best for those living down
in that locality, but unless we get all the
bridges at once we can't please all at once,
and there will be objections. If the Bridge
Committee accepts my advice they will go
up the river for their first bridge. As the
city is thereafter able the other sites can be
occupied until she owns them all.

hymnal be retained intact He was tired of
listening to the debates for and against the

among the deputies for consideration. Car
ried.
The Bishops then sit in joint session on
the missionary question Several mis-
sionary addresses were read. The first was
