A TRAGIC AFFAIR.
Behind it, of Course, the Inevitable
Woman.

Chicago. Aug. George Wechsel-
berger, a plumber who resided at No.
2 Connor street, was shot and killed
today by Oscar Flesch, a barber of 6S
Selgwick street. Back of the tragic
affair there appears to have been a
woman and a scandal. Wechselberger,
the victim of Flesch's jealousy and his
own transgressions, was % years old.
Flesch is a married man with a hand
some young wife.
The official report made out by the
police Authorities states that Flesch
lay in wait for his victim, shot him
through the heart, and he fell dead
at the feet of the jealous husband.
Flesch is locked up. He has little to
say regarding the shooting or the cir
cumstances which led up to it.

The COIMEft-J ENNINGS MODDLE.
The matter of investing the percent
age retained from the Culmer-Jennings
Paving company as guarantee of
the quality of the paving, came up
O'Meara said as it appeared that the
Culmer-Jennings company had been
paid $4,000 for paving pitch more than
was due them, that it would be pro-
per thing to deduct this amount prior
to making final settlement with them
and moved that the matter be re-
ferred to the committee on claims.
Cohn, Corum and Newell opposed
opening up the old business again and
held that the committee to whom it
was referred at the time had thor
oughly gone into the matter.
The chair, interrupting O'Meara,
ruled that he was trifiing with the
council and wasting its time.
O'Meara rose to a point of personal
privilege and that was that any MEM
Der had right to talk to any motion.
The president-Take your seat, Mr..
O'Meara, or appeal from the decision
of the chair.
.O'Meara-I do appeal from the de-
cision of the chair
Then followed a wordy war between
O'Meara and the chair, in which the
latter called the former to order re-
peatedly, but Mr.. O'Meara went on
talking just the same, holding that
it was perfectly in order to refer the
report of the finance committee to the
committee on claims.
The ruling of the chair was sus-
tanned, O'Meara alone voting no.
The recommendation of the finance
committee was that the percentage
held back be invested in notes of the
Salt Lake City Railroad company
which notes are now held by the city
treasurer The amount to be invested
is sis, 4O9.91, of which $S.745.7S is pay
able Feb. 6. 1896. and $6,664.13 payable
Feb 6, 1899.
The matter was finally referred to
the city attorney for an expression of
opinion as to the legality of that mode
OF investment.

SNOW, BEAUTIFUL--sLUsHi
The Flakes Brought Out the Sleighs But

The Flakes Brought Out the SIeighs But
the Rain Drove Them In.
The 25th was Christmas, and by a speciII
dispensation on the next day it showed. a
deep, furry. feecy, hakey Russian snow.
possibly in honor of Santa Claus, who is still
quite extensively in the city. 1t began little
before o'clock and continued of and on and
up and down and sidewise till late IN the
afternoon. Up to 0. N. there had fallen
four inches of snow and rain.
The STOW being the first considerable con-
signment OF the season, brought out the rub
bers. sieds. skates, and umbrellas OF every
body in general, and the sleIgh5 and horses
of the capitalists, who own them or hire them
at the usual prices. For the early part OF the
storm it was Jolly and merry enough with the
sleigh bells and the flying horses and the
family parties all in one seat, and the slipping
and sliding pedestrians but the rain came up
and drove the horses back into the stables,
and drowned the symphony CT the bells.
The result was some OF the wettest ostrich
plumes. stuffed blue, black, and red red birds,
ever seen in this vicinity, not 10 mention sew
eral square miles of the most exquisite slush
which will possibly be the exactly descriptive
phrase for the conditions for a day or two.
Up at th5 Weather Bureau they ascribed
the snow TO the Alabama storm which began
there yesterday and moved up northeast TO
be met by cold wave from the northeast,
and hence the snow and rain. The snow
prevailed generally from Alabama eastward
and northward- The atmospheric conditions
were not favorable for settling weather. The
reading of the barometer at Edmonton, in
British America, was 81 20, the highest read
ing ever received ar the bureau The obser-
yatlons for the storm yesterday were made
on Prof. Maryin's improved rain and snow
gauge. The tracing made by it was much
superior TO that Of any other gauge yet
used.
One of the most interesting observations
made at the bureau last night was by an off,
Ger who had been shoveling snow In the
afternoon. He observed that when a man
had city real estate TO sell il was good thing
10 have 30-foot front, but that when it
showed a foOtpath to the street was quite
wide enough. This may be regarded as off,
eiaL Another statement, equally official is
that the freeze and the snow and the rain will
have no elect whatever on the buds, blos-
SONS, and fruit OF the Christmas trees.

MGR. SAToLLTs SECRETARY.

Interest in Catholic Circles Over Father
Rockers Expected Arrival Here.
Great interest, especially in Catholic cir
eles, has been conferred on the daily expected
arrival in this city of Rev Frederick z.
Rocker, D. D., who was not long ago ap-
pointed secretary to Monsignior Satolli.
Inquiry was made. at the papaI legation
yesterday in reference to his expected arri-
val, aud it was stated that although he had
not Vet come he was expected very soon az
ter the new year.
The Rev. d. ]. StofTord, D. D.. was inter-
viewed on the subject. and from him it was
learned that Father Rocker is a naive OF
Albany. y. Y, and is now a out 80 years OF
age. He was once vice rector of the Ameri-
can College at Rome. where he was also
student with Mgr. Satoll. He is now visit
ing his father Ia Albany, where he will re-
main until be comes to this city, which will
be about the beginning of the new year.
He was sent out last year by the Pope with
his presents and when he came to this eoun-
try he brought with him the Pope's eongratu-
lations 20 Cardinal Gibbons. He is the first
American priest sent by the Pope on similar
mission. This was owing to the fact that,
being an American, ne would the better IN

1t is stated that the Pope's eneyclical is in
course Of preparation and will very shortly
be issued. 1t is also stated that Mgr. SatOlli
would be elevated to the college of cardinals
in the very near future, possibly within the

DIR. McGLYNN's RESTORATION.

One of the most remarkable episodes in the
history Of the Catholic Church ia the United
States came to conclusion on Christmas
morning when the Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn
celebrated mass publicly at the Church of the
Holy Cross in New York.
Eight years ago Father McGlynn was de-
posed from his pastorate of st. Peters Church
by Archbishop Corrigan. He had iden-
titled himself with Henry Georges single
tax doctrine and with the Anti-Poverty
Society, and his preaching Of the one and ad-
dresses at the other were disapproYed of by
his ecclesiastical superior who. after admoni-
tions and lnterdIcts had been in vain. sus-
pended DIR. McGlynn from the priesthood.
The archpishop's course almost wrecked the
congregation OF ST. Peters, for Father Nc
Glynn's parishioners were enraged at what
they considered an outrage upon DR.. Nc
Glynn's standing in the church and his rights
as an American citizen.
The press of the country took the matter
mp, and heated controversy was waged for
a long time as 10 the relative right or wrong
OF Father McGlynn's or Archbishop Corri-
gan's side OF the case. Rome took a hand in
the affair, Of course. DR.. McGlynn went
there and was received at the Vatican and re-
turned to this country. He did not deliver
any more lectures before the Anti-Poverty
Society, but he has not up to this time pub
Hcly recanted an economic or social doc
trine uttered and advocated by him in the
days OF his recaIcitrancy.
Shortly after the advent of Papal Delegate
Satolli it was stated that DR.. McGlynn's
course was not altogether disapproved by the
personal representative of the Pope. and it
was predicted that ere long DR.. McGlynn
would be reinstated in the honors and fune-
tions OF his sacred calling That prediction be-
came true on Christmas morning. and DR.. Ed
ward MeGlynn is again in good standing as a
priest of the Catholic Church, although he
bas never publicly disavowed or expressed

Meeting Next Saturday.
Representative Bourke Cochran, of New

ecutIve committee of Tammany Hall next
Saturday.
This meeting, called by John ]. Martin i'm
mediately following the bitter personal ar
raIgnment of Cochran by ex-Chief Croker,
has been regarded as a means of bringing the
tRo face TO face.
Mr.. Cochran has not yet received any notice
of the meeting, although Mr.. Martin says the
notice has been forwarded. But in any event.
Mr.. Cochran has no present intention of at
tending. He has not attended meeting in
two years, and the present situa ion is not
such as to induce him TO change his course.
Mr. Cochran Will say nothing regarding the
Croker statement.
