THE movement for caucus by the
Democratic members OF the City Coun-
ell is not gaining In strength. The
people, as majority, are evidently not
in favor Of q caucus, and councilmen OF

the proper management OF the city's AZ

New YORK. June 16.-The man who
shot President Wyckoff, OF the Bank OF
New Amsterdam, and then shot himself
yesterday has been identified as George
81. Semple, residing in West Eighty
second street. Semple has always borne
good reputation. It is alleged that he
has intimsted to the police that his deed
was the result Of murderous impulse,
for which there WAS no reasonable
origin; that acting in obedience to the
impulse he bought pistol and vent
out on the street and that passing the
Bank Of New Amsterdam he felt i'm

President WYckoff passed q fairly

no probability that either he or Semple
will recover.
Mrs. Semple and her mother, Mrs.
Annie L. longs, went to the hospital,
where the husband OF the former Is
lying at the point of death, early in the
day. They told the police there that
Semple had recently been employed as
q book canvasser. He had, in that
business, been absent from home great
deal Of the time. He was q man of
temperate habits and had never shown
vicious or insane tendencies.
Semple died at the hospital shortly
after midday. His wife was with him
