WEIR WAS POISONED.
The Mysterious Death of Piitsburg's
Police Superintendent.


PITTsBURa, Nov. 18.-Thers is now no
doubt that Gamble Weir, the late super.
intendent of police of this city, was poi
soned. Hugo Blanck, the chemical ex-
pert, has completed his analysis of tho
dead mans stomach, and states posi-
lively that he has found three different
poisons in sufficient quantities 10 cause
death. Professor Blanck has made a
full, but verbal report to w. D. Moore,
Esq, and County Commissioner James
G. Weir, brother of the deceased police
superintendent. He is now preparing a
report in writing, and will present it to
District Attorney Burleigh and Admin
istrator Harry Fehl within few days.
Colonel w. ID. Moore has been retained
by Administrator Fehl, and will assist
District Attorney Burleigh in the prose-
cution OF Mrs. Marsh, with whom Su-
perintendent Weir boarded, and at
whose residence he died of mysterious
ailments, on the charge of larceny, the
accusation, az is well known, being that
she appropriated valuable personal prop
erty of the deceaseds superintendent. The
trial has not yet been placed on the list,
but is expected to come up soon. 1t will
likely be very sensational, as develop
nents that may throw some light on the
manner of death are expected. Mrs
Marsh's movements after she left Pitts
burg were closely watched As result
two women who reside at Tottenville,
Staten Island, where Mrs. Marsh was ar
rested. are now in the city, and will ap-
pear as witnesses for the commonwealth
when the case comes to trial.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Nov. 19.-The

stored in the schoolhouse. During the
Bpeechmaking, and while the building
was packed, two kegs of powder ex-
ploded.
The results were frightful. The school
house was totally wrecked, and most of
Its occupants were buried in the ruins.
Those who could extricate themselves
BET about at once to rescue the others.
Imprisoned in the Wreck.
Shrieks and moans came from tho
mass of wrecked timber. The debris
took fire in several places, and it re-
qnired hard work to prevent the cre-
nation of the persons who were i'm
prisoned. The flames were subdued,
however, only one person suffering from
the fire.
A son and daughter of Silas Graham
were taken out dead, and Berry Sherod,
one of the most prominent residents OF
Washington county, was so badly in
1ured that he has since died. Another

was also killed. Fifteen persons were
injured, some fatally, but their names
have not been learned here.
Sherod suffered horrible agony before
he was gotten out Of the ruins. He was
pinned down by timbers and was burned
beyond recognition. He lived several
hours after being rescued.
