A POLICE SUPERINTENDENT.

Declared He WAS Poisoned.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April IS. Gamble
Weir superintendent Of police Of this
city who died suddenly three months
ago, was poisoned SO his friends de-
clare, and with the best Of reasons. too
At the time OF his death Weir's
friends had suspicious of foul play,
but they kept the matter secret in
the hope that some clew might be
discovered that would lead TO the
discovery of the murderer So far, how
ever, the work of ferreting out the per-
son who committed the crime has been
one Of difficulty. Whoever had given
the fatal dose has covered up his tracks
so well that every effort 10 discover the
murderer has been OF no avail.
Superintendent Weir was ailing for
several weeks Attimes he would seem
some better and the next day he would
be taken with terrible paroxysms that
baiiied his physicians skill
After Weir's burial several friends
quietly went 10 Greenwood cemetery,
eXhumed the body and removed the
stomach and spleen, after which
the corpse was returned TO the

has been found that enough poison had
been taken TO kin several men. The
stomach had been literally eaten up
with a violent poison Of one kind and
there are evidences that another kind
had been used.
One poison was corrosive subimate
and the other Is thought 10 be arsenic.
The chemist was not even informed
whose stomach II was that had been
submitted 10 him. and every effort was
made 20 keep the circumstances secret

might be discovered. 1t looks now as

What Was Done on the sixth Day Of the
international Meeting at Independence,
Mo.
INDEPENDENCE, Mo, April l3.--The
worlds conference of the Rcorganizcd
church continues To be of the greatest
interest. The testimony service yester
day was, as during the past four days,
taken up by the giving of prophesies
and speaking unknown tongues.
Father James Whitehead, Joseph
Smiths secretary in the prosperous
days of Nauvoo, testified TO his
knowledge of the work, its purity,
and that he thought the work would
move on to final triumph Of fulfilling
the sayings of Joseph In regard to the
work being established in this land in
Righteousness in accord with Gods COM
mandments Joseph had said that sixty
years would not pass from the time Of
the organization Of the church IN 1889
till the elders would be preaching in
Missouri again and that prosperous
branch of the saints would be flourish
ing al independence. This brother had
lived to see this prophecy fulfilled.
The elders met in the basement
and gave consolation to large
number of sick A bottle
Of olive oil sat on the pulpit, and as the
elders would gather around the sick
they would pour a small quantity Of
the oil on sick ones head, and then
with prayer, beg the almighty power 10
come down and heal the diseased one.
1t looked like hospital; the sick were
in all parts Of the room complaining Of
one and another disease.
The business session was Il particular
ly busy one. A motion 10 change the
session from annual 20 biennial was
lost, but only after an excited debate
and much controversy. The same ques-
tion was sprung last year.

determine, glass was in use 1000 years
before the birth of Christ, and was even
then not in its infancy by any manner
of means. In the Stade collection at

lion nodded in glass, bearing the name
of an Egyptian king of the eleventh
dynasty. This is the Oldest specimen

IN NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI

The Appalling Character OF the Floods Just
being Realized Heavy Loss OF Prop
erty.
NASHVILLE Tenn. April 13 3-The APP
palling character Of the floods in north
ern Mississippi is just beginning to be
realized. Hundreds of lives have been
lost
Last night one man rowed several
miles in the dark on a raft with twenty
six bodies that he had picked up.
The flood came So suddenly that none
were prepared. Sixteen small streams
in Northern Mississippi became raging
torrents within few hours and
swelled the banks of the Coosa and
Tombigbee rivers into inland seas.
The loss of property is incalculable at
present. There is no cxaggeration,
however. in the statement that it will
be over 81 900. 600.
