Frankfort, KY, March 11.-Senator
Rosel Weissinger of Louisville died at
40 o'clock Monday morning He had
been i'll with pneumonia for several
days. but it was hoped he would re-
cover. There was great crush Of
spectators at the capitol in expectation
of a renewal OF the exciting scenes of
Saturday. But the joint assembly,
after the formality of ballot in order
to comply with the law, only three
members voting. adjourned on account
of the death of Senator Weissinger,
Afterward each house met and ap-
pointed committees to attend the fun
eral. 1t is doubtful if Mr.. Weissinger's
death will cause such a change in the
situation as will give the republicans

Brockville, Ont, March flight
men were shot Monday by maniac
named Lapointe, who alighted from a
train. Peter Moore is dead. Chief Of
Police Rose is fatally wounded, Police
man Tinsley is badly wounded, but may
recover, while five others received gun
shot wounds which are not considered
dangerous. The maniac himself was
shot by young bystander and sank e2-

captured and lodged in jail The dead:
PETER MOORE.

1t was just about noon when Lapointe
came on the street carrying a shotgun.
The first person he met was an old
man named Peter Moore Raising his
gun, Lapointe deliberately shot Moore
dead.
Chief Of Police Rose, who was just
coming from his office, ran in the di-
rection of the report and as soon as
Lapointe saw him he took steady aim
and fired hin, hn hot tol aeean
In his breast and head.
Policeman Tinsley then appeared.
Lapointe had his pocket full of car
tridges and was shooting right and left
at random. Tinsley got behind cover
and endeavored to shoot Lapointe, but
failed. He then got behind door in
grocery store, and, partly opening
1t, had just taken aim, when Lapointe
fired, the shot taking effect in Tinsley's
head and neck. A young man who was
in the store ran upstairs and from the
window fired at Lapointe, wounding
him. Lapointe quickly turned and fired
into the window, after which he fell
exhausted to the ground. He was then
captured and lodged in Jail.
A large crowd gathered at some dis
lance from Lapointe while the shoot
ing was going on, but none dared APP
proach within range of his deadly weap-
on, which was double barreled breech-
loading shotgun. Intense excitement
prevailed among the maddened crowd,
and 1t was with much difficulty that it
could be restrained from lynching La
pointe on the spot.

eighteen miles out Of town, and an ex-
pert shot. He has shown signs of in
sanity at times.

consent Monday to take from the table
the resolution providing for the sub

A constitutional question has been

the Supreme court to the effect that to-
bacco is legitimate article of COM

prohibit the shipment into the state and

cigarettes. The most that can be done
is to prohibit the sale to minors and of
aduiterated goods. A bill to this effect

Paducah, KY, March 11.-Mayor D.
A. Yeiser has shipped to the city
marshal at Fulton, KY, in response to-
private telegram, 200 Winchester
rifles that were used here during the
negro riot three years ago. There arc
great fears of an uprising in Fulton
tonight, if one has not already taken
place. The trouble was caused by a
policeman attempting to arrest negro
and having to club him before he could
do it. The feeling in Fulton between
the whites and blacks is very bitter.
The authorities are trying to keep
everything quiet and refuse to answer
kilograms. 1t was rumored here that
a serious encounter had already taken
place, but this could not be confirmed.

OLD LAND MARK GONE.
st. VincentS High School Building
Being Raced
To Make Room for Modern School
Building for Boys-Was the Scene
Of Many Brilliant Social Festivi-
tives in the Forties-An Old Man
sion.

The ST. Vincent's high school build
ing, at the corner of Byron and Four
tenth streets, is being RACED to make
room for a larger and more modern
structure to be devoted to school pur-
poses. The destruction Of this building
removes an Old landmark. 1t is one of
the oldest buildings, for residence pur-
poses, in the city, and in the early his
tory of Wheeling was considered a
mansion and was the scene OF many
brilliant social festivities.
1t was erected in the 30's by Samuel
Sprigg, then one of the most prominent
attorneys in the city, and was the hand
soonest residence in Wheeling. The
Sprigg family was very prominent in
society, and entertained on scale
which was considered lavish at that
time. Miss Belle Sprigg was an &C
knowledge belle, possessing rare per-
sonal beauty in addition to many &C
complishments. She married one of
the B. & O.'s force of civil engineers,
who was killed in 1910, and Subsequently
married a DR.. Campbell. Another
daughter of Mr.. Sprigg married a Mr..
Campbell, and the third married Dr..
Chapline.
Some time in the sos the house was
rented to Mrs. Patterson, who conduct
ed fashionable boarding house. Then
it passed into the hands of the late Rt.
Rev. R. V. Whelan, first Bishop Of
Wheeling, who purchased it, with the
other property in the square bounded
by Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Byron and
Eoff streets, where St. Joseph's Caths-
dral was erected.
On the site of the old Sprigg man
sion a commodious and handsome
school building will be erected for the
higher education of Catholic boys. AS
stated in the Register the plans have
been prepared by FranZheim, Giesey &
Faris, and the contract for the building
has been let TO Wood Bros. Work will
be commenced as soon as possible. The
new school building will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 when complet-
ed. 1t is likely that it will be conducted
by some order Of Christian Brothers.
Bishop Donahue has felt the need Of
such an institution in this city, and he
has always strongly favored, the higher
education of both sexes and providing
the best facilities for attaining this
end.
