DIscoYERED AFTER DEATH.
How II Was Learned That Pittsburg's
Chief of Police Died from Poison, AIys-
teriousiy Administered.


PIrTsBURG. Pa, April l2.-It has lust
leaked out that Gamble Weir, superinten-
dent of police Of this city, who died sud
denly three months ago, was poisoned. At
the time of his death his friends had sus-
picions of foul play, but they kept the
matter secret in the hope that some clew
might be found that would lead to the dis
covery of the murderer.
Superintendent Weir was ailing for
weeks before his death. One day he would
seem better and the next he would be
seized with terrible paroxisms that batlled
his physicians skill. After his burial sew
eral friends quietly went to Greenwood
cemetery, exhumed the body and removed
the stomach and spleen. after which the
corpse was returned to the grave. The in
testines were subsequently examined.
1t has been found out that enough poison
has been taken to kill several men. The
stomach had been literally eaten up with
violent poison of one kind, and there are
evidences that another kind had been used.
One poison was corrosive sublimate and
the other is thought to be arsenic. The
chemist was not even informed whose
stomach it was that had been submitted to
him, and everk effort was made to keen
the circumstances secret until some day
the author of the crime might be dis
covered, but lately the matter has become
pretty freely circulated and it looks now as
II the guilty person may so unhung.

Martha Blizzard was before Justice
Frank y. Smith on Tuesday, charged by
Mrs. Sophia Il. Kienle with failure to
vacate the premises No. 800 East Second
street after having been warned out accord
mony to show that the notice to quit the
premises was duly served upon the Biz
zard woman, but the latter produced three
witnesses who were willing to swear that
Mrs. kienle agreed to allow the tenant to
remain in the house after the notice
was served. Mrs. Kienle denied any
such agreement, but the evidence of the
inmates of the house overwhelmed her.
William 5. Hilles appeared for the defend-
ant, while the plaintiff was not repre-
scented by counsel. Justice Smith, after
carefully weighing the evidence, decided
that the recent agreement entitled the
tenant to hold over IN the house, although
he sympathized with Mrs. Kienle in The
matter.

FIRE ON a STEAMER.
The City of Eitchburg Badly Burned and
Much of the Cargo Damaged.


New BEDFORD, MASS. April 1.-THE
steamer City of Fitchburg of the Old
Colony Steamship Company, which
arrived from New York yesterday morn
ing with cargo of freight, was seriously
damaged at her dock this morning.
When the matches were opened the deck
hands encountered mass of flames and
smoke. The entire forward hold, loaded
with cotton and grain, was in flames,
which spread aft on both sides of the
engine room and into the after-hold, where
the miscellaneous merchandise was loaded.
The forward saloon and officers rooms
were Quilted and the officers lost nearly all
their personal effects The crews quarters
were also damaged and the men lost much
of their property.
Assistant Engineer Thomas Emerson
remained at mis- pumps on the vessel,
surrounded by burning freight and
showered with burning embers, and lying
flat on his face till the blaze was extin-
guished.
Freight on the wharf was rapidly re-
moved and much of the steamers cargo
thrown overheard was picked up damaged
by water. The flames ragged two hours.
The steamer is insured. and it is thought
her cargo is also. The damage will be
heavy.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Ncws was re-
ceived at the navy department this morn
ing that Lieutenant J. II. Hetherington.
U. $. N. has been acquitted on the charge
Of killing Robinson, an Englishman, at
Yokohama, about two months ago.
cablegram from Commander John H.
Bartlett gave briefly the information that
Hetherington had been acquitted by the
consular court at Yokohama. before which
he was tried. This action settles the case

the consular court that has jurisdiction in
such a matter.
Hetherington, it will be remembered, is
the lieutenant in the navy who shot and
Killed Robinson, prominent member of
the English army, on the ground that the

to confession to Rear Admiral Belknap,

Republicanism Aroused.

| A fact of tremendous Importance ir
the existing political situation is the
marked revival of Republican energy
and enthusiasm throughout the ma.
ton. The evidences OF this are un
mistakable. They are apparent in
every State. Every convention affords
gratifying proof of the harmony and
confidence with which the party looks
forward to the contest before it. The
utterance Of Republican leaders and
newspapers reflect the feeling of the
masses of Republican voters. They
indicate that whoever the candidate
named at Minneapolis may be he will
have behind him the unanimous sup.
port of the party that has won seven
out Of the last eight Presidential cleo
tions.
There is ample reason for Republi.
can confidence. The Democracy.
which rode into power in the House
of Representatives on a tide of false
hood, is to-day divided and disheart-
ened. The partisan lies about McKin-
ley prices, once so effective, have re-
coiled upon the heads of their invent
ors. The people have found that the
Mckinley law has resulted in lowering
the cost Of almost every domestic pro-
duct to the consumer, while under it's
operations our home market has been
made secure, our industries have TAX.
EN- fresh strides in development, wages
have been high, work plentiful, and
our foreign commerce has reached
proportions never before acquired.
The administration of President Har-
rison has been wise, sound patriotic,
and has maintained the honor of the
nation abroad, and stood an impreg-
nable bulwark, for protection and
honest money at home. 1t has made
both its party and the nation stronger
The party of negation and obstruc-
ton, the party that never originates
AN idea or proposes a constructive pol
10y has surpassed its own record for
laundering and incompetency by its
performances for the last few months.
The Democrats, with $50 majority in
the House, have not passed single
Important measure. They have fran
ed two leading bills, one of which
strikes at the great American wooden
industry, and the other OF which
would reduce the value of the work
Iingman's dollar 30 per cent. These
stupidly destructive measures fairly
represent the purposes of the Democ-
racy; and even these they have not
yet been able to pass.
Republicans are right In believing
they can make 1892 year of victory.
The nation has seen the free
traders and the cheap money fana-
tics in control of one branch of Con
gress; and the exhibition Is enough 10
insure another four years Of Republi.
can rule. w. Y. Press.

The most outrageously unfair gerry
mander ever made in the United States
and this is saying a great deals
that of the Missouri legislature. That
state gave Harrison 236, 1000 votes and
Cleveland 261. 600 in 1888. 1t is pro-
posed by the bill to make one Republi
can district and fourteen Democratic
ones-in other words to give one Rep
resentative to the $4,000 Republican
voters and one to every 1900 Demo
cratic voters! 1t is such sconndrelism
as this which makes one feel like hav-
