Now she was dead, and the pistol jhot, and a powder stuck wound iu the left t4-mplj from which the bloi slowly oozed, the story of her end. She had bf--n killed by Clark.

He had gone into the room with her iiist a few minutes before, and it was he ho had rushed out into the street. The room, which was Foon filled with police offirers and others, bore no et idnnc of a struggle. It was nicely furnished and not an article was disturbed. Over the mantel-piece hung a photograph of Clark. and beneath it was one of the dead wumau.

Clark a picture showed the face ot a man apparently thirty-nve years of age and that ordinarily would have been termed handsome. The dead woman was about twenty-rive years of age and her face was beautiful evn overspread, as it was with the pallor of death. STOKY OF THE UIMK. Lieut. Keifer took charge of the house a few minutes after the shooting occurred, and the living inmates.

with the exception of one who was nick in bed, were taken to the Central Station, Ida Howe, the proprietress of the house said to The Post reporter. "Georgie Ixme came to my house three weeks ago. Before this evening Clark, whom she said was her husband, called on her twice. This evening he called about ten o'clock. He was under the influence of liquor.

They did not go up stairs, but after remaining an hour he left. About twenty minutes past midnight be caitea again, and they went up atairs togetner. heard no sounds of a struggle, but just before the ahft was fired we heard Georgia scream "For God's sake, don't kill me." Then came th shot, and Clark rushed down stairs shouting as he passed us "LET HER iO TO L. "I have not the slightest idea of the cause for the shooting. Georgie and Clark were married a bout, a year and a half ago, and the only cause for trouble bet ween them that I know of was that he did not support her.

The inmates of the house told the same story. Other persons wade statcmentsthat may furnish an exnlauatiun. From the officers it was learned that Clark is very well connected, being brother of John Clark, teller of the Farmers ational Hank. Although gitted with hue natural anility, and with friends who were ready to assist htm in any legitimate undertaking, he cut loose from them and the prospect of an honorable career, and became a well known character in police circles. For some time he tended bar in the Third avenue salooup.

What his last occupation, if he had any, was is not known, although the woman whom he informed others in the house that he was a shipping clerk somewhere. CF.OKCIE LONG HIS WIFE. Two of three years ago he met Georgie Long, Sbe was then an occupant of a disreputable house, and had been for some time. To some persons si said her name was Mollie Gillespie, and that she bad influential friends fn Beaver county, but she never spoke much of her past life and nothing positive is known concerning the truth or falsity of her statements. She was beautiful and sinih on Clark, and he became infatuated with her.

About a year and a half ago they were married. Since then she has con-tinu-d to live at disreputable bouses. She told her friends that Clark did not contribute anything toward her support, but exacted money tt oui her. Clark on tlu! ccntrary often said that he wanted her to abandon her past life and former associates and live with him. At ail events those who knew both state that they were OKTINUAIXY FIGHT IK ft about something.

It is not known, however, that he ever threatened to take her life. That resolve may have been formed only last eveuing. That it was carried out with wonderful cool neat there is no doubt. Clark could not have been more than a foit distant from his vicTim hen he fired the shot which killed her. Her temple was covered with powder smoke.

From the position iu which her body lay it was evident that after going into the room he had told her he was going to kill her. Then she screamed and started toward the door, which had been bolfcnl when they entered the room. He followed, and presenting the revolver close to her head, tired. CLARK'S MOVEMENTS. What became of Clark after he left the scene of his ur me can only be surmised.

He had not been captured at last accounts, but cannot be far from the center of the city. Not more than ten minutes after the shooting Captain Irwin met him at the corner of Smithiield and Diamond streets and talked to him. The Captain did not know at that time that a murder had been committed, and Clark gave no sign that he was not in the wont pleasant frame of mind. Lieut. Kiefer and other officers commenced to search for him as soon as they learned of the shooting, but found no trace of him.

lu the pocket ot the dnad woman's dress Lieutenant Kiefer found a package of letters, which he refused make public. They may shed some lightou the motive for the crime, if it was not the result of a druuk-en resolution on the part of Clark to rid himself once and forever of the disgraceful alliance. A Alleged nefanlter. On Monday, the 18th John Brier, as Secretary of Mechanics LMlge of the Amalgamated Association went to the office of the asstx'iar ion where he received which was due the lodge as benefits, bince that time O'Brien has missing. Secretary Martin said yesterday that he had been notified that O'Brien had decamped.

He bad no idea as to where he was or there had boon auy social reasons for O' Hrien's actions other than a desire to spend the money which did not belong to hiui. Notraceof the missing man hail been obtained by the association, but it reported he waa still in the city. O'Brien is forty years old, five feet six inches hight has gray eyes and clipped hair, and wore black pant.

Sixsmith, the baker at the 1 Farm, ha employed si net' Ij u-h was Superintendent and saw the latter every da never saw- him drunk at the Farm nor coming to the Farm from the city; never heard anyone say that bo as drunk until this trouble began. Gen. Thomas A.

Rowley, who was the. next witness, said. I am a mem Iter of the Hoard: I was a member nine yearsago: the, "ferry fund" was used then to pay in cidental expenses at the Farm; that money amounted to about filod to gj.io pr annum; have known Mr. Brush for over fiftv vears: never sav him drunk nor beard of it; he has been in bitter political contents and no charges were ever made that I ever heard of that were derogatory to his character in any manner. Mr.

Edward Houston said I am au ex-member of the Poor Board. Knew of a "ferry fund being raised, but never knew of any account being kept here. I heard Superintendent Braun say thaT he used part of the fund to buy an organ for supplies like cigars, for visi tors who came to the Farm in an official capacity. Have known Mr. Brush since and the first time I ever heard charges made that he was drunk was since this trouble began and I never heard a wbUper against his integrity.

SECRETARY ToDD TO THE FORE. Secretary Todd I have seen Mr. Brush under the influence of liquor. Mr, Swartzwelder Was he drunk Mr. Todd What do you call drunk Mr.

Swartzwelder When a man is in capable to attend to the ordinary duties of life. Mr. Todd Yes, sir, I saw him drunk the day the viewers were at the Farm. He was staggering. 1 saw him under the influence of iiquor one day before that.

It was the Sunday the new Chaplain, Mr. Kirk, was installed. Mr. Swart welder then offered to prove- that on The llth ot February, ls a party of members of the Board accompanied by others visited the Farm, that they got supper there, liquor was drunk and a game of cards played, wherebv several hundred dollars changed hands and the game was kept up until 3 A. and one member participated iu the game.

Mr. Wightman What do you want to prove by it? A BLAST AT 1'KE-SIDENT FINCH.

Mr. Ramsey That was au attempt to blackmail a reputable citizen and it could do Mr. linish no good. The question was allowed. Mr.

Todd Solicitor Fox was the attorney for the girl. Mr. Finch tavean order for the discharge of the girl, upon Ffarl paying all expenses ot keeping the cirl at the Poor Farm. The girl went back to the farm aa in on I incumber 27, The child was born ou January ami died March 'Jo, Ishi. I 'faff did not pay the expenses of keeping the woman the second time.

There was a question whether she did not belong properly to Allegheny, and Mr. Finch discharged her on account of her not belong ing to this city, ami Mr. Pfatf paid her expenses up to the time Mr. Finch discharged her. Robert Xewt-il, the clerk, and Detective John Mossner, testified how the girl Sophia Zanger was taken out of the Poor Farm on a regular discharge.

Guardiau Weiss The "Ferry Fund" was used up for buying incidentals, such as extra groceries, cigats, beer, At this poiut the investigators adjourned for supper. AS UNEXPECTED DENOUEMENT. At seven o'clock Mr. Brush and attorney did not appear, so the committee waited until They did not put in au appearance at that time, hereupon Mr. McGregor said "If Mr.

Brush d.jea not desire to submit any further evidence on his side, the work ot 4he committee is done. This afternoon's testimony had no real bearing on the question of the defense. Mr Weiss then made charges against Dr. Wallace and Daniel Roberts, the farmer, alleging that they went to a tavern in Homestead hist Sunday, where they became intoxicated and did not return to the Almshouse until 10 P. and that their conduct was disreputable.

Also that Chas. A. Moore, a resigned employe, was still residing at the farm, the guest of the acting superintendent. Also that Robert McCurdy, the watchman, and Margaret Lowe, the cook, have been drunk for two weeks neglecting their duties. The witnesses to substantiate the charges were given as D.

It Ryan, Robert Newell and Jared M. Brush. The committee suspended the Acting rMipenntemient, Lr. allace, ana made Mrs. Johnston, a matron, acting Superintendent, pending the investigation into the new charges, and agreed to meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock to investigate further.

Mr. KUiott states that as Chairman of the Monthly Committee, he will go up to the Farm to-day and take charge and will rid the institution of ail subordidates who are not rihf. Holiday oil Market.

SH HOLS The Allegheny Poor Board Kefuse to Accept HI" Kesignatlou. The conviction of the Superintendent of the City Home of adultery was the occasion of a special meeting of the Allegheny Poor Board yesterday. The following letter of resignation was read: Gentlemen Victim as I am of an adverse decision in he case recently trie! against me, and in view if the newspaper criticisms to which you ill be subjected, and not wishing to entail upon you any share of the suffering that has unjustly fallen upon me, I hereby present to you my resignation as Steward of the Home, and while I take this action with regret, knowing that my hour of vindication will come, I cannot but deplore the fact that disreputable testimony seem to be preferred to that, which is reputable. I thank you, gentlemen, for the confidence which you have hitherto reposed in me. I Lave done my duty to the best of my judgment, my conscience is clear, and in my heart I am not condemned.

I have the honor to remain yours respectfully. Jamis Nk uol. Two petitions, numerously signed, were presented asking the Board to suspend judgment until alter the request made by-Mr. Nichol for a new trial should be granted or refused. Mr.

Price moved that the resignation be not accepted. He did nor btdieve the jury's verdict to be just, as the bulk of the evidence had been in favor of the Superintendent. He was convinced some undercurrent bad been at work against Mr. Nichols during the trial. Eleven out of the thirteen members were present, Nine voted to uot accept the res ignation and two Messrs.

H. H. Phillips and valentine riaker to accept it. Mr. Nichols therefore remains in his position.

His wife is very sick from the nervous excitement consequent to the trial. JPublic opinion seems to be pretty evenly divided ou the question as to whether the Hoard took the proper action or not. Mayor Peterson says the Poor Directors made a mistake overruling a higher decision by their non-acceptance of the res ignation THE LAST Ai r. Death of the t'rleudleaa Verinan Ulr! at the Central fetation. Ottilia Pritsehe, the young German girl whose sail case has been previously mentioned, died early yesterday morning, after three days of intense agony.

The body was afterward viewed by the coro ner's jury, and the invest postponed until this afternoon. Ir. Oldshue made a pmt mortem examination, and reports that she was about to become a mother and that a corrosive poison had been administered. Her sufferings must have been intense, as the poison had entirely eaten a ay the coat i of er stomach. John Arudt, who was engaged to marry the unfortunate young woman, as arrested last evening.

He admits that he accompanied Ottilia to adrug store where she purchased some "bitter water," but denies that he administered the poison to her or persuaded her to take it. The police authorities generally believe his story. Chief Heisei, in connection with other city officers, will take charge of, aud bury the girl's remains. LARULK APPROPRIATIONS ASlltn How the Allegheny Par tin Have (Suffered From tack of Fnudt. The Cobjujiiijee on Public Parks, of Allegheny, last night decided to ask Councils for an appropriation of 515,000 the coming year.

The Parks now being entirely paid for the special tax is abolished, leaving only the amount applied for above to be raised iu the general taxation. The present year's appropriation was only $10,000," at least smaller than the committee luually secured. The walks iu the parks, the fences aud the fountains are all sadly in need of repair in consequence of the insnrhcleney of funds. Superintendent Hamilton prtweutd a ritten report to the committee embodying these facts and urging a larger appropriation. A motion to increase, the salary of the Superintendent was tabled.

The Health Committee resolved to ask for an appropriation of which is $r00 iu excess of this year's award. The Survey Committee also met and applied for an annual appropriation of $2,500. This year's appropriation was Concert Postponed. The concert in aid of the West Penu Hospital, has been postponed toThursday and Friday evenings, January 4th and 5th. The short time for rehearsals and the failure to et the progains out in time, and this busy holiday week, are assigned as the reasons for postponement.

A rehearsal will be held this evening at the Third Presbyterian church, Sixth a veil ue. Opening oi the Railroad.
