tho afternoon of February 28th, died
this morning at 5 o'clock at the Provi

pected for several days, but while there
was still a chance for life, the physicians
thought it advisable not to permit him
self to make an ante-mortem statement
of the circumstances surrounding the
shooting. He died, therefore, without
making any statement, and the case
against Kineaid will rest entirely on the
testimony of himself and two eye wit
nesses of the tragedy. One of these eye
witnesses was Samuel Douelson, of Ten

the time tho shooting occurred.
The other witness was a boy who cannot
be found. The stories of the shooting
differ in one important particular. Kin
eaid and Taulbee had had au encounter
some time prior to the shooting in the
corridor adjoining the hall of the House
of Representatives, on tne east. It was
said just after the shooting took place
that Kineaid had armed himself after
the first encounter with Taulbee, and
seeing him going down the s'airs that
led to tho basement, had run after him,
called to him, and, as he turned, shot
him in the face. Kiucaid claims that, he
armed himself in fear of danger f rom a
further encounter with Taulbee; that
Taulbee had warned him to arm himself,
and that Taulbee insulted and attacked
him on their second encounter, render
ing in his opinion resort to the pistol a
necessity. The theory of self-defense
will be set up by Kincaid's lawyer. As
soon as the news of Tauibee's death
reached police headquarters, an officer
was sent to Kincaid's room. He was
awakened, and after he had dressed,
was taken to the police station, where he
now is. The inquest will take place to
morrow. Aaron Kohn, the noted crim
inal lawyer of St. Louis, and Judge Har
ris, the well-known jurist of Kentucky,
have been engaged by Kincaid's Ken
tucky friends to defend him in his trial.

Ofacers Elected Boat-Houe and
Club-House Erected Stocking tin
Ponds Planting Rice for Ducks.
The Walnut Creek Sporting Club held
a meeting yesterday afternoon. It has
twenty-hvo members, most of whom
were present, and they enthusiastically
considered various matters of club in
teresss. Officers were elected for tho ensuing
year as follows: Dr. J. II. Crawford,
president; L. O. Lougee, secretary and
treasurer; governing committee. Dr. A.
W. Goodwin and Messrs. C. li. Edwards
and E. B. Engelhard.
The club has completed the creclicr
of a club-house, and also a boat-houso
on the south sido of tho water works
pond, and have provided them with all
conveniences and various attractions.
The pond has been leased, aud all the
guuning and fishing privileges are ves
ted in the club.
Last year the work of stocking the
pond with gamo lish was begun aud
that feature will continue with greater
attention this year. It is the intention
to propagate several varieties of fish
all very toothsome and tho indications
are that under tho attention beiug giv
en it, the pond will soon afford marvel
lous sport for the rod.
Gunning is included in the attractive
features. Small fowl frequent the
pond in no inconsiderably numbers,
and tho appetizing due': has learned
that the long, sinuous pond is a de
lightful place and visits it often. A
scheme is in progress to induce ducks to
come more frequently and iu larger
numbers. A lot of wild rice has been
planted iu various places, aud this, it is
supposed, will prove au inoistiblo at
traction to them.
Two members of the club aro now
having two unique steam launches
made, and these will be on tho pond
during the summer, adding greatly to
its picturesquentss.
